Okay. The draft and the story that cross my mind while writing this is off. Hah who need the stupid time-taxing draft anyway. Let put the draft somewhere safe for backup first and enjoy this chapter then.

An: I still think this chapter can have a better polish but i'm to sleepy to doit now

_______________________________________

The sun is still low on the east. Casting an orange tint to the white towers on the campus.

Tiara move ahead of me. Her eyes wander from building to building while her mouth narating a story from each building that can be seen. I'm not really sure what happen, but from her silloute i can see sadness. Thats why i'm just obidiently follow behind her and listen to her story. Anyway she seems to be a good and kind girl.

I dont know why i do this for her, i'm just a stranger. But i dont feels so good seeing a girls sad. It reminds me of something that familiar. An unwanted memories which i seek. Perhaps, no, hopefully with her guiding me arround the campus she'll get distracted.

"So thats conclude my tour, have you decide which dept to join?" Tiara asked to me after she lead my trough the complex.

"Uh no i havent." i said to her, set aside that i dont really get what she's explaining before, i really dont know what to do with the old man invitation. "Tiara, who is the strange old man from before?" I ask to her

"Oh, the one with smoky pipe? He's the head master. An ecentric one. You should feels gratefull to met him outside and unformally. He's so strict when conducting class." Tiara paused a while before continue. "But still, he's doing a perfect job i think. why?"

"He's certainly interesting oldman." I mutter slowly while remembering the oldman bearing. It should do fine to join this academy. "Uh, Say tiara, what dept do you think i should join?" I ask another question while staring at my feet. I cant look at her again. I'm tired with interacting. It feels so strange to do so much human interaction after being alone for so long.

"Ehh, why you ask me? Just go straight to the knight dept. With skill like you i think you'll make a perfect knight." Her voice seems a little startled with my question. I can feels her gaze comes to me while waiting i'm speak. "Hey you still didnt tell me your name." She ask again.

Err. I keep silent while pondering a lot of name to pick. This is a hard question. I really never consider a name is important.

"Should i call you jerky boy?" This time a smile dawn at her face, accompany her voice.

"Nope. please dont." I ask sincerely to her.

"You ask for it" this times she's turn her gaze ahead on the road.

"tiara. I dont have a name to tell."

"Jerky"

"I'm not lying" i answer her after i finished sighing. Uh, i take it back. She's definitely not a good and kind girl

"Upss we have arrive." Tiara said as she stop in front of a building. While she's point to a door ahead.

My eyes follow her hand. The door ahead of me apparently is leading to the registration office. A sentence was written on it using old faiyi rune. Tracing along the curve of the door. if i'm not wrong it should be read as faith without knowledge is blind as if knowledge without faith. I then push the door open. Inside i see desk with a set of chair was present. Two middleaged man look playing chess inside.

"May i help you?" One of the oldman throw a questioning gaze at us

"Maester" tiara did a curtesy gesture "i bring a new applicant to register here maester" she add shortly after the formality done.

"Oh come on in then. Sit here young man. And you can wait outside miss."

"Yes maester" tiara bow then close the door from outside.

I go forward and toward the chair that had been prepare while the creaking sound of the closed door follow behind me.

"Alright, fill this form first. Leave the unknown blank is okay." One of the middleaged man says to me. " while youre at it. Do you already decide which dept to join? And do you have a reveral?. If you do then give it to me."

"Yes maester" i copy tiara replying tone while i handed the owl reliefed token which had been given to me by the strange-oldman before.

"Impressive. The headmaster token. Then while we do honour the freedom of your choice we still have to do a little test to determine your potency. That hopefully can help you to reconsider your choice wisely and help you to pick a proper dept." The middleaged man stand up. Then unlocking the door that lead deeper inside the building. "If youre done with the form then come with me". He spoke the last sentence and stand there while his face still have that somehow odd-smile.
