With Leo seemingly understanding the situation and leaving the two roommates on their way, Alec and Alec headed towards Complex C of the dorm facilities. I would take quite a trek afoot to reach their room, since 33-C was literally at the opposite side of Gyms Complex A in the campus. However, the Headmaster of the university was a keen man, and knew not all students had the means to travel the whole campus by foot. As such was created the speedy magical train. 

“Well, looks like we’ll be missing the opening ceremony afterall…” Alec stated.

[color=6ecff6]“Not really. If we’re going according to last year’s ceremony, we might just be in luck. Part of the ceremony takes place on board of the train before everyone heads out for the mess hall.”[/color] Allen replied, used to 14 years of participating in the opening events.

Just as both of the guys had reached the gyms complex’s train station, they were already greeted by fellow students from earlier. While not every students were interested in welcoming the new arrivals, practically everyone were going to the dining hall for a common reason: the university’s exquisite breakfast. Every day’s breakfast was making part of the academy’s great reputation, and it wouldn’t have been if it wasn’t for the Headmaster to be so enthusiastic about students starting their day with a grand meal.

“Allen, are you really going to the opening ceremony dressed like that? Not that everyone here mind your flashy red coat, but you know, burnt spots, sweat, dirt and drenched doesn’t really honor your looks.” One of the students said, chuckling as he looked over the silver-haired young man who looked to have crossed hell and beyond just before coming here.

Looking over his clothes himself, Allen laughed innocently as he scratched the back of his head. He sure looked like a walking mess, but with what happened at the gyms earlier, and his meeting with his would-be brother, there was no way he could get a change of clothes before the breakfast.

[color=6ecff6]“Too much happened, not enough time to go change. Sometimes I wish I could just control time like some people here.”[/color] Allen answered, still grinning stupidly at how dirty he looked.

“Well it’s not like it was all THAT bad, right? Girls dig the rugged look of someone training early in the morning.” Alec joked, laughing cheerfully.

After a few minutes of friendly social chatting, the train finally arrived at the station with frightening speed. One would wonder just how that machine could stop so sharply with the speed it entered the station without throwing everyone on board at the floor. With time, Allen got used to not thinking too much about the train’s workings, as it was a marvel of pure magi technology engineered by the best of the best here. 

Getting onboard, students exchanged greetings just before finding a seat. The train was quite crowded today, just as expected of today. Allen didn’t notice any new faces as he entered the train, but he figured they might be on another wagon, considering just how large the thing was. 

Allen wondered if there were many new students this year. He would soon find that out, when the train would stop just in front of the dorms of complex B for going to the communal mess hall.
