The conclave will happen later in the evening, right within the academy grounds. Nervous energies can be found all around the city and beyond, with people from all walks of life wondering and speculating on what might or might not occur later. Eun-Ji herself had in her mind to attend the conclave out of a thought that it might provide useful insights on things related to her missions, both the personal ones and the one assigned to her by the emperor, but that thought that since been put out of her mind. Earlier at dawn, she had found a message that was slipped through the bottom of the window of her room. It was a message from her handler, and written in it was simple and very clear instruction telling her [b]not[/b] to attend the conclave. The implication was clear: The emperor had other, more politically inclined agents than a fledgling Sentry like her to attend to such matters. And so, Eun-Ji planned instead to use the likely-to-be very peaceful evening to continue studying her books; among other things, she needed to start shoring up her knowledge of Binding and Blood Magic to get ready for the class in Lepdes. One thing did bother her. The message made no mention of the aberrations that had appeared the day before, even though the rumors that had been flying around campus made it very clear to her that she was not an isolated case. She had no illusion that her handler wouldn't know of the matter, though she can at least held to the hope that he probably didn't know of her own particular accident with it. [b]Conversion with Sienna Afraval[/b] As with the Sensing & Drawing class the day before, there wasn't much yet to learn in the Conversion class in this day. They didn't even get to actually do any conversion. In any case, Eun-Ji had humbly rated herself a five our of ten; in reality lower than what she was really capable of. She had drew mostly from ambient heat and sound, unsurprisingly her most comfortable sources for drawing. And that was that. [b]Mathematics with Luria Colloy[/b] It's math. Eun-Ji had always been average at math, and she actually kind of didn't like it. She never had a lot of use for math, be it in the farm or the Sentry. Regardless, she hid her dislike of the subject, did the test, and then wondered why the Zeno had given them the elementary problem to take home. After all, Eun-Ji thought as she left the class, [i][color=87CEEB]Seven. Everyone here should be able to solve it immediately in seconds.[/color][/i] [b]Athletics with Zander Mozaru[/b] After an uneventful lunch, it was then athletics class. Eun-Ji took little interest in the arrogant little prat that asked why the class wasn't divided by gender (Of course, the arrogant little prat was Jomurr, but she didn't really know him). Then, the Zeno addressed his 'concern' by making a competition between the girls and the boys. An obstacle course, one that was grueling but nowhere near as merciless as the ones she had to went through daily back then as a trainee of the Lotus Sentries. Turned out, it seems, that nobody else in the class was brutally trained as a governmental secret agent slash assassin slash enforcer where life and death was separated by a very slim margin every single day. The girls had won that competition, and Eun-Ji was top even among the girls. At the end of the class Eun-Ji walked past the arrogant little prat, locked eyes with him by accident, and gave him a brief pitying look as she continued walking. It was out of sympathy and without ill will, but that might or might not be what it looked like to Jomurr himself. [b]Natural Sciences with Randan Kedd[/b] The last class of the day was fun, both because the Zeno had cleverly used a little trick to uplift the mood of everyone in the class and because Eun-Ji herself was quite fond of the subject (unlike math, these were well used in both the farm and the Lotus Sentries). For a first attempt, she and her group did well enough with the skeleton. Mistakes were made, but it was still a result Eun-Ji was quite content with. [b]After Class[/b] As she had planned beforehand, Eun-Ji spent the rest of the day mostly in her own room in the Castle. With the amount of time available, she learned quite a lot from the books she had bought the day before, making her more ready for the Lepdes class while also giving her a deeper understanding of the histories and facts surrounding the Aberrations. She was yet oblivious of the great turmoil that had happened during and as a result of the big upsets of the conclave, but she will learn of those soon enough whether she wanted to or not. This day, after all, was likely the calm before the storm.
