The rest of Rian’s day passed by in unremarkable mediocrity; he settled himself into his new room, headed to the campus cafeteria for a meal, made use of the fitness facilities, and then turned himself in rather early to prepare for the next day. Though he shared greetings or chatted with several acquaintances, nothing on the scope of what happened at the arena occurred once more for him.

When he awoke, it wasn’t exactly as bright and early as some who knew of how he had spent his summer months might have expected. There was just enough time for Rian to get himself ready and head over to the cafeteria for breakfast. before arriving just in time for the first period of class. Stretching on his own accord as the class gathered and waited for the teacher, he tuned out the hushed whispers of those who had yet to be in physical education with him. Despite being rather physically fit, it was in a manner that was lithe and graceful, so it actually only emphasized his feminine appearance. 

After that came the more mundane courses that could be found in most schools in one form or the other around the world. Frankly it was a bit hard for him to pay attention given the way things were, but he pushed himself to focus through. Even then his attention wandered and Rian had to stop himself from dozing off a few times, often resorting to playing with his hair for simply something to do. ‘Come on… if any of them find out, they’re going to be annoyed.’ As he reminded himself for not the first time, the thought nonetheless gave him a bit of a push to sit up straighter and focus.

After lunch when the Magic courses came around, Rian threw himself at the course and their materials as per usual. Utterly different from himself during the morning periods, his interest towards the supernatural when compared to the mundane was fairly obvious to anyone with functioning eyes. Though he wasn’t exactly enthusiastic during these periods, his contrasting mannerisms made it quite apparent that this was what he really looked forward to.

As classes came to a close, Rian followed his usual routine and wandered over to the lobby to look for an appropriate Special Assignment. Unsurprisingly, given it was the first day, there was quite the crowd already there to pick up whatever Assignments were being offered. A quick glance, from even the complete back of the crowd, let Rian tell there weren’t many he was interested in taking, and none he would have actively tried to pursue. He did see a few that he figured would be easy enough if he could find a willing group he could participate in. In fact… though it was a bit hard to tell given the crowd in his way, Rian thought he saw Hayato from yesterday closer to the holoscreen. The Knight had seemed amiable enough to Clerics and given he had healed the taller boy yesterday, Rian figured there was a good chance of being accepted to a “party”.

Pushing his way through the crowd served to be plenty hard given his stature, and it was with some effort that he managed to arrive near the black-haired teen. Clutching at his chest, he sighed lightly as he managed to extract himself from the throng of students before he looked around. It seemed that Hayato wasn’t alone, but the whole gang from yesterday was around; even the blonde had been a spectator if he wasn’t mistaken. Taking a moment to smooth out his beige robes, he finally raised a hand in greeting towards the gathered students. **“Afternoon, don’t suppose any of you are interested in the D-Rank: Cockatrice Hunt Assignment?”**
