Just as the two roommates were heading towards their dorm, they were intercepted by a well-groomed young man. Much like Allen, this guy’s most striking feature was his white hair, much alike the color of Strauss’. Surely was he someone not like the others, the two thought simultaneously. 

Allen recognized the fella however, even if he probably didn’t know who he was. He had heard of someone who have been a student here way before he was, in fact spent his whole life living here, as others claimed. Apparently, his parents abandoned him here for gods know why. He could only feel but sympathy for the boy, he knew what it was like to living without knowing his parents.

But then the shocker came. Speaking with absurd speed and tons of information to assimilate, Allen had a hard time to fully understand that Leo’s parents, who abandoned him here, were in fact his parents as well. Not only that, but they were apparently brothers. Then Leo suggested they could teach each other concepts of magic, given Allen was specializing in Elemental Magic and Leo on Prime Magic. Not only that, but the would-be younger brother also suggested that once they reach Master rank, they should go look after their parents to scold them or whatever reasons he might add.

Indeed, it was too much to take in at once. Allen already felt like an aching starting in the back of his head just trying to find something appropriate to answer. He didn’t want to come off as mean, nor did he wanted to think the guy might be crazy, but the abruptness of the situation made it just really hard to believe. 

How come he knows all of this information and just now decided to say all that? Was there irrefutable proof behind his words? How does one claim to be your brother after frequenting the same university for 14 years without even meeting each other and be sure of that fact? There were too many questions and not enough answers to those to determine if Leo’s statement was true or not.

Knowing Allen for years now, Alec could tell just how nerve-wracking Allen was in now. He just had this idiotic smile plastered on his face without saying anything. That alone was quite unusual for your friendly and overly-social Elementalist. Knowing his friend was probably in a deep state of confusion and probably wouldn’t make a move for himself, Alec grabbed Allen by the shoulders and dragged him away like a puppet. 

“Not that I want to interrupt this touching brotherly reunion, but we REALLY should be preparing for the opening ceremony. Allen here just LOVES that event and wouldn’t want to miss the chance of speaking with the newcomers, right Al?” the red-haired boy said.

[color=6ecff6]“Eeeeeh… YES! Sorry, it’s just a lot to take into consideration right now. We’ll talk about this after the ceremony, alright?”[/color] Strauss managed to blurt out in his confused state, still being dragged further away by his pyromancer friend.
