Freshmen arrival.

The first academy ever built back then in the land was at Cintra and as such held some of Queen Eliezier records; the legendary sovereignty whose name went down in history. These feelings made the academy in Cintra sorted after by younger witches who saw the need to learn from their ideal model. Along with its large number of students, it was also ranked the best academy with stronger power and much inheritance left behind by countless astrologists who joined hands during the founding of the academy. Thus it became rich with much knowledge amongst all academies.

The Head mistress in charge of Sparks academy spoke up after listening to the man's words. * That's very interesting to hear! Though I am sure Orene has something to say about that. How's the process for our students who would be transferring over... to your academy. * Shaking her head in dismissal of the thought, she inquired about what seemed much of her concern.

The man took a brief moment of pause which made the Head mistress of Sparks academy turn over towards the other people present in the room.* How are the arrangements for the departure... Head Bram? * she directed her gaze to a man who was seated far from her. The man she spoke to was the Head of security and defense in the academy. He was in charge of coordinating all movements and deployment activities of students with impeccable arrangements.

* Everything has been arranged, once I leave here I would send you the list of students heading towards Cintra and the other academies. * Head Bram said in a deep voice. He was a very muscular man, with a strong build. An orange coloured hair with very sharp eyes.

* Ummm...what should we do regarding students who had the tendency of not going over to other academies? Cause lately I've been getting a few such requests! * Head Griffin said in a concerned tone of voice.

Her words caused a reaction from a man who wore a royal blue suit. He held a grin on his face after hearing her words.

* And since when does Head Griffin show concerns for a student? * He teased. His words spiked laughter from a woman who sat on the table as well. She placed her hands close to her mouth whilst she apologized for her manners.

* Head Dorian... I expect you to be more cautious with your words. After all I'm the Head of administration and student affairs! * Mrs Griffin stated, clearly retorting back at him with a straight face and an eyes shooting daggers.

Head Dorian smiled widely which made him look so childish and less of a statutory body in the academy. * Of course I would never forget your position Mrs Griffin. Or should I say Head of detention! * He uttered with a playful grin on his face.

Mrs Griffin squeezed her knuckles hard with a rigid expression on her face while she prepared to retort back with her own words, when the Head mistress lifted her hands in an attempt to call them to order.

Meanwhile the screen at the center of the table flashed white and the man at the other end resurfaced in it. * I've discussed with the Head of coordination. We will be having them soon after the welcome party! *

The Head mistress nods her head at his words. * We would await further notice from your academy. Head master Edmund.* And the transition ended.

The next second Head mistress rose up all accompanied by the four Heads of the academy. * Let's prepare to welcome the new freshmen stepping into our academy! * With a dignified air around her.

......

Back at the bus, the path towards Higher Vale was very intriguing. Showing the many beauties of the continent. Araina was left awed by the site before her which made her clutch onto her seatbelt much tighter even though the ride wasn't fast at all. She felt dreamy with glossy eyes and wide smiles on her face. Turning towards Gabbie's direction.* Have the ride always been like this, or is it just me? * Ariana asked her in an enthusiastic mood which caused Gabbie to laugh. She said in her slumpy tone of voice, * The first time traveling to the capital, they say it always leaves an expression! *.

The ride went on for a couple more hours through an aerial tunnel. The further the bus went through the tunnel the more they saw a variety of spiralling colours before their very eyes. This tunnel was only used in times of mass transport of people or goods. With the path through the tunnel being much faster, still it wasn't safe for small sized vehicles. From how disruptive the air within the tunnel was; only huge rides utilizing a strong protective mechanism with advanced manufacturing system curbing the destructive effect of the wind. Approaching the end of the tunnel, an impressively stunning city stood from afar. It was like a painting of an enchanted living city with all its many vibrant colours and a diverse landscape mixing into giving a magnificent view. Slowly the city got bigger and bigger the more the bus got closer to it, which made all students seated in their seats gasped in awe; increasing the volume of their chatters with clear anticipation in them.

Minutes later the bus arrived at the entrance into the city. Being already open in waiting for their arrival, the bus went over the city towards the academy. To give the students inside the bus an aerial view of the capital of Sparks. Lots of wows and mixed reactions were echoed all over the bus which was very normal for them since few of them hadn't been to the capital before, even if some amongst them had seen it.

Still the number of those who were arriving here for the first time is likely high. The bus drove all the way towards the academy's entrance following the path built above ground. This system aids easy transport without the presence of raising traffic. With one route as an aerial path leading to different locations in the city and a path on the ground connecting to the aerial route. Soon the bus landed after driving all the way into the intersection between the air passage and land. Mrs Juvenile who was previously seated rose up.

* All of you remain calm and be in your seats. I don't want rowdiness of any kind! * She instructed in her grumpy tone as usual, stepping out of the bus accompanied by the other registrar who were in the bus. After alighting from the bus and all the registrar along with her, she spoke in a very loud voice * now you all may leave your seats, take only your personal letter with seals of the academy in it. Your bags would be transported to your dorms. * Mrs Juvenile continued with her words, * Now you all are to follow after Piers, who would be your guide inside the academy! *

Just beside where the bus was parked, a young man stood with a gleeful look across his face. At Mrs Juvenile's words, he stepped forward and introduced himself. Piers a norm witch who was amongst the staff assigned to show the freshmen around the academy as a guide. Since the registrar duty ends at checking of students passes and bringing them to the academy, he's duty begins from here. Observing him closely he was average, skinny build - an orange coloured hair with big round glasses and a rope attached to both sides on which makes him look like a typical nerd. He had a gray colour sweat shirt on with blue pants.

* Alright everyone. I know you all must be high in spirit from the great views you've seen, but I assure you more is to come alright! * Piers said with a weird smile on his face. Accompanied by him was a man standing very close to him. Watching how he was still standing stupidly, the man hit him on the back of his head; causing his glass to fall off. The congregation of students laughed at the scene before them which made Mrs Juvenile shake her head at the two of them. * What a fool! * She muttered beneath her breath. The man who hit Piers spoke in a strong voice * get on with guiding the freshmen already! *

Piers held the glasses with both hands and placed them on while he said, * Sure boss! * He made an official salute towards the man before addressing the congregation of students. * Alright follow me, students.* He made a gesture with his hand and began walking in wide strides out from the parking field. The man who accompanied Piers shook his head at his behaviour while he also walked after him followed by the group freshmen; together they all marched out leaving the registrars stood back watching them. Since they were tasked with only dropping the freshmen off, their other duties were to check the numbers of freshmen which they brought at the academy with the number they got admitted for the semester; hence they would be reporting to the head of admission.
