Secondary Professions

 Today was the day marking One week and one day in the Kinas Royal Academy.

 Mark woke up with Jackson and they prepared for class, after which they linked up with Nathan and Eric, They all exchanged greetings, except Nathan and Jackson, Nathan had become cold to Jackson since the recent incident, however neither Eric nor Mark tried to intervene.

Eric was someone that usually keep to himself, while Mark decided not to because he felt that it was necessary for the both of them to solve this matter personally.

They grabbed a bite of snacks on the way before rushing to their various classes.

In class C4, They finished their history class taken by their class advisor, and they went separate ways, Today was the day they were going to start the Second Profession subjects, and Mark was walking towards the Formations Division, Eric had chosen the Runesmithing Profession which was a good one since he has , Mark was not worried about the Formation Mastering class and the Runesmithing class clashing.

A week Earlier;

 At the end of the History Lesson, Teacher Charlotte said; "Mark Thompson, meet me in my office."

 In teacher Charlotte's office, The office was a simple one with a modest size room, a cabinet, and bookshelves, on the Desk is an Holographic computer with a small Golden trophy beside it.

"Wow it seems. Teacher Charlotte has also made some achievements", Mark Thought.

He was brought back to present when he heard Teacher Charlotte voice; "Take a seat".

He obeyed and made himself comfortable on the chair in front of the desk facing Teacher Charlotte's.

 Teacher Charlotte raised her head up and looked at him; "Do you know why i called you here?"

 Mark nodded and replied; "I don't know the reason you called me here, however i have a guess that it is related to my choice of subjects."

 Teacher Charlotte nodded and said; "So the rumors that your character has undergone a change is true, well you are right, why do you choose two Professional career courses instead of the norm of choosing one Lifestyle course and a Second Career course?"

 "I chose them due to the fact that I've been interested in both courses, since i was a child, and I've vowed to pursue my ambitions, especially since my talent in qi Cultivation is low". Mark replied with a firm voice, as if he was speaking the truth of his mind.

 Teacher Charlotte looked at him deeply and said;" Your answer is too simple and i doubt if what you said is true, however i will like to remind you of the cons of your decision."

 She swerved lightly on her chair, placing a hand on her chin; "I hope you know that without an average talent, you won't be able to go far on this path, since it is common knowledge that although, you don't need to have a high cultivation talent, Cultivation is still needed to make higher level formations or weapons, especially Formations, and another thing to note is the fact that your family will surely not agree with your choice, i will advice you to have a rethink on this."

 Mark bowed his head as if he was in deep contemplation and raised his head after a few minutes, his voice laden with resolve; "I'm sure about my decision Instructor Charlotte, and i am ready to face any challenges that comes to my way due to my decision, thanks for your care."

 Teacher Charlotte nodded and said; Okay, if that's your choice, it's okay by me, however remember that this decision can't be changed later on, Now we need to discuss about your subjects time clashing with each other, The both subjects; Formation Mastering and Runesmithing is taken at the same time, I'm thinking of placing you with the Students from class B, who take their Weapon Refining Lesson on Friday afternoon which means your your usual free time on Friday will be sacrificed, however, you are free whenever your Classmates are taking the Lifestyle Professions Subjects, Are you okay with that?"

"Yes, Instructor Charlotte", Mark said, and thanked her before leaving her office with steady footsteps.

********.

Mark continued on his way to the Formation Division Building with his other classmates, It was not a 'building' in a certain sense due to the fact that he could only see a fenced enclosure with a tall Black Gate, He couldn't see any building in it.

He checked his communicator and confirmed that he was really in front of the Formation Division Building before pushing the wicket gate and entering without any hesitation, while some other students followed him and some waited outside the gate.

 Mark was awed by what he saw when he entered, It was like he entered a separate world and he saw rows of buildings which he didn't see why looking frok the outside world, "Is this a pocket dimension?"

Mark thought as that was the only plausible explanation he heard in mind that could explain this, He had heard of Pocket dimensions, however they were rare and he didn't imagine that the Kinas Royal Academy would be so extravagant to use one as the Formation Division Building.

 He looked around and found out that the surroundings were spacious and at the center is a Large Pavilion, with several tall buildings surrounding it, However it was still visible, due to the fact that the buildings weren't built too close to each other.

On the right side was a row of buildings and Mark was sure those were the lecture rooms, He checked the Academy website on his communicator to confirm the lecture venue, and advanced towards the rows of buildings on the right, heading towards one with the Tag; Lecture Chamber 002 on it.

 He entered the chamber followed by other students and took a seat in the front area, waiting patiently for the Formation Instructor to come in.

 The class soon became full as it seems that the students who stood outside the gate waiting for feedback already came in.
