Royal Capital
After travelling for a day and half we reached royal capital 'Hundez'. At night we camped near woods and my driver was awake half the time..just for protection. As we reached the capital it was noon time...all the markets were full flourished and people were gathered in crowds.
It was my first time seeing such crowd...we barely had even half of the crowd in yearly festivals....Thomas thought as he was traversing through the market...he could see royals leading towards the academy in their carriages but he couldn't he was frustrated....
As thomas was also heading towards the academy his eyes fell on the products which gathered from the different Kingdoms...The scene illustrated a man selling a magical orb which can capture your image can't say if it's genuine, a woman selling beauty products from different Kingdoms, fruits , clothes ,etc. One of the prominent product was potions they were sold by the mages association...it contained health , strength , vigor , stamina potions, etc.
Thomas roamed for about an hour and then reached the gates of Albrost....The gate was clad black coloured ten feet high....in the front were four gaurds the wall covered an area of 30 hectares Thomas had received the map of academy from Walter.....The map was as followed...

This is only a part of academy there are more facilities inside....so scout for yourself.....
At the front gate the soldierstopped Thomas and asked for identification...it was a basic norm from the ancient time royals were given free authority while the commoners had to even justify their living...Thomas showed him the identification which was forged on another students identity namely Ford Morel...
As thomas verified and was moving forward he could heard the soldiers passing comment [ stupid commoner could think he could compete with the young royal Lord's ]....
Thomas passes by the concerned facilities....he took his dorm keys from the reception...The receptionist told him the following rules
1. Commoners aren't allowed in the royal section...
2. Commoners classes will start from the next week...
3. Every common students must pass a certain criteria , failing will lead to expulsion.....
4. A special right given to common students is they can challenge a royals on semester exams and exchange places with the peculiar students..
5. Commoner students must report back at campus before night 8 pm and morning at 6 pm...
Thomas nerve was hit on this obvious discrimination but he couldn't do anything he was powerless..he himself was doing nothing but surviving.....
His dorm was on 3rd floor , he thought himself while walking ( atleast I don't need to share rooms with someone )...
He entered the room which was already opened he was alerted..he entered with stealth foot steps...upon entering he could see someone sitting on the centre on a chair it was a girl , with curlly hairs and vintage one piece from horror movies, ( is she trying to scrae me ) Thomas thought.... she stood and showed her hand saying ," you must be thomas right , glad to meet you I am Sharn Yol a fifth year at Albrost....so basically i am your senior...".
Thomas gave her a firm handshake and replied," good to meet you miss Yol, Walter told me you'll approach me but isn't it too soon....". Sharn with a awe expression, " Wait how did you know who I was...( you should've thought about it before calling me by my real name thought thomas)...and if couldn't wait to meet a cute junior who is loved by miss ravenna..."
" you know her , doesn't matter and who is thomas, I am Ford Morel...", said Thomas as he kept his back pack on the bed and sat.....Sharn asked, " So, what are you doing now it's not like you have anything to do...so meet me at the royal Dorms in one hour don't enter just stand on the gate....you also change and I need a bath it was hard to maintain the scary vibes...." ,as she was about to live thomas asked her ," heyy wait....where are we going anyway...."..
Sharn turned and said, " you don't need to know...if you want I can wait we can get ready together how about.....", Thomas closed the door and murmured to himself ," she is gonna be a headache..."
