Now you get to see the part of the college that isn't involved with magic or adventure; documentary. Get used to it free, Grey's starting at the bottom rung. He isn't even a grunt; grunts do field work. Grey's going to have the ever ludicrous task of organization, filling out reports, and trying to make sure they all get through before you get swamped by complaints. You'd best pray to your gods that someone dies for an open position, even if you pass basic training there isn't any guard positions open at the time unless you convince someone to give you his job. Or know something in the college who could find you a place. Or if the higher ups don't just forget that Grey exists and simply never checks his papers.
