The Research Hub

Zane entered inside the main building. Students were walking up and down, most of them were dressed in a lab coats with a badge resembling a globe pinned to their chests. Some had more than one badge pinned to their chest.

The reception was directly opposite the door. A young man was sitting there.  

He looked young. He was probably a few years older than Zane. Was he a student? Zane wondered.

He could see a similar badge of a globe pinned to the boy's chest. There was also a smaller black badge inlaid with some words but Zane could not tell the words written on it.

"Finally!" The boy just sat up from where he slouched the moment he saw Zane.

"I don't know if it is just me or if are we having fewer research students this year. Hi there, I am Emeka. I am in my third year. Main Class, Wind Mage. Subclass, System analyst. You are a freshman, right?"

"Yes Senior, I registered yesterday." Zane reported.
