It hasn't been ten minutes, when the students were sharing the news on their phones and tablets; videos of the protest. Based on the way the videos were cut, it did not look good for the mutants. The full uncut video was released as well, but the media had the grip on the "bad mutant" trip. Newsblogs and the typical internet trolls speak of a reevaluation of the Mutant Registration Act and some harsher commentators demanded the college to be burned to the ground and the mutants incarcerated. Of course, the students expressed their disgust towards those comments as much as the comments were expressing disgust about them.
Throughout the rest of the day, the video would become a large headline across TV and the internet, all mostly pro-human and pro-MutRegAct. An interview with Chairman Lewis was arranged as well and was broadcasted in the evening around dinner time, but it was almost disregarded by the fact that it was pro-mutant, the way Lewis expressed himself and his beliefs.

As for Alex, stepping into Victoria's office left the impression that the woman had no sense of order. Her desk was swarmed with papers, her shelves had books and binders casually tossed inside, a couch to the side was hidden by layers of clothing. The Vice-Headmistress of the college smiled as Alex entered. "Have a seat." Once Alex made himself comfortable in front of her, she rummaged through some papers. "You are not here, because you have thrown a fight with the protestors, which was stupid by the way." She grabbed a paper with an ID card stuck to it.
"As you might have heard, there is the huge debate about the Mutant Registration Act. Nothing that should trouble us that much. Humans only want to know what they are dealing with." She pulled the card off of the paper and handed it over to Alex. It was an ID card, alright. There were slight differences, though. A small emblem on the corner of Alex picture would immediately catch the eye. Below the usual formalities, an extra line was added. It clearly stated: "Powers: Minor Telepathy, Telekinetic Shell." On the back, there would be a small explanation of his powers. Other than that, it was a normal ID.
"This is what they've come up with." She casually waved a hand in front of her face and her smile was different for a tiny moment. "We have decided that we hand these out to some students and see how this turns out. Most of the staff received them as well", she kept explaining, casually showing her own ID. Her powers were stated as "Auditory Inception" and "Hypnosis".
"And if you think of picking another fight with protestors, consider yourself in big trouble. I don't want to see a smart person like you lower himself to those idiots." She got up and shook his hand with another bright smile. "Welcome to the Grinder, Alex." With that, he was free to go.

The hallways to the dorms were stuffed to the brim with students that moved their stuff around. A lot brought their TVs, computers and other large equipment with them. In the chaos were a handful of professors, handing out letters to some students. Each are properly addressed to the students and contain the new ID for them. Some were surprised, a few were furious. The chaos of moving into the rooms was overthrown with the chatting and discussing students. A lot happened in the day.
