It has been three months since Ghastwell Academy had opened its doors to new students. Prof. Jeong turned to a jolly. "이 리스트에 있는 다섯 명의 학생들을 제게 데려올 수 있나요?" (Can you please bring me the five students on this list ?) The jolly nodded before taking her leave.

It wasn't long before the boys were gathered in a hallway. Beomgyu showed a paper. "This is the hierarchy of Ghastwell." Kai was shocked, "Isn't the academy having a hierarchy system outdated ?" Yeonjun agreed. The academy was all based on equality between magical beings regardless of elemental power.

Soobin looked the paper over. "Air is the bottom tier. Earth & fire are the middle tier. Leaving water elementals as the top tier. This is odd, right ?" Taehyun sighed taking the paper, "이상하지 않다. 이것은 계급제도를 확립한 첫 번째 기관이 아니다. 어쨌든 우리는 이 시스템을 많이 따르지 않는다." (It isn't odd. This is not the first institution to establish a hierarchy system. We don't follow this system as much anyway.)

Prof. Jeong approached them. "Splendid. Follow me." He lead the five of them into a.
secret room withing Ghastwell' halls. everyone settled in a seat. Beomgyu looked around curiously, "Why have you called us here ?"

Prof. Jeong clasped his hands together. "장 교장은 교사들에게 작은 클럽을 만들 수 있는 선택권을 주었다. 다른 기본 능력을 가진 학생들이 상호작용하도록 하는 활동에 더 가깝습니다." (Headmistress Jang has granted teachers the option of creating small clubs. More like activities to get students with different elemental power to interact.)

Soobin looked hopeful. "So you selected us personally ? Why ?" Prof. Jeong gave a small smile. The smile was hard to decipher. "Parent' Day is approaching. I would like to prepare you for that obstacle before I personally start teaching you all." To be honest, Beomgyu & Taehyun were excluded of fearing their parents reactions to their placements.

Beomgyu would have to meet his family off school grounds since they were non-magical. Taehyun had no worries given his elemental placement aligned with his family'. Beomgyu sighed, "My family is non-magical. How would I even explain any of this ?" Prof. Jeong nodded understanding it would be far more work for Beomgyu, "범규 씨, 제가 동행하겠습니다. 너무 깊이 생각할 필요는 없다." (I will accompany you, Beomgyu. No need to overthink things.)

Kai noticed Prof. Jeong was not as open as other teachers. He seemed more reserved & calculating. "What is in it for you ? I am sure you have some motive for helping us." Prof. Jeong let out a small chuckle. "In all due time will you understand. For now you need to survive your parent' assessments when they arrive."
