"Ah, Nevin, so you were here after all," Amalger said, immediately ignoring the other boy who he was quite done with now. Get along or not, Nevin was far more interesting. "Well, not that it's surprising. You [i]were[/i] the number one at Flare after all." Before Amalger actually started putting in effort toward the end that was. "But I guess number two from such a prestigious academy as Flare is still more than enough for beacon." The hint of derision one might have detected in Amalger's voice was because he really didn't care for Flare, even now. "Well... ah, excuse me one moment," Amalger cleared his throat and turned away from Nevin, suddenly shouting across the room at a girl who looked ready to fall over any moment now. "Put your head between your knees!" Rule number one of fainting, it was almost always caused by not enough blood getting to the brain. With that handled, assuming she listened, he turned his attention back to Nevin.

"Anyway... what are you thinking, Nevin? Think Beacon will actually be a challenge? I mean, you can only make a standardized test so hard, and we both know that unlike back at Flare, we're gong to have to deal with a lot more than that. Well, I do anyway. You [i]did[/i] do your homework on Beacon, right?" Amalger asked.
