Nevin was quiet as he listened to the speech beside Abel and Maggie, arms crossed with a curious expression on his face. At the end of the explanation, he felt the edges of his mouth move up in a small grin. No more handouts. No more stepping stones. That was what he wanted to hear. Flare had been renowned as a great school, but...it wasn't anything spectacular. It had its share of failures with rich families to push their son or daughter into the academy. This would be different. He had a reason to try. He had a reason to really compete with his fellow students. This time, he'd beat Amalger, he vowed to himself silently.
Despite himself, he felt himself getting excited at the thought. He would gain what he wanted from this school on his way to becoming a Hunter.
He was sure of it. Uncrossing his arms, he let his hands slip back into his pockets before regarding his two companions. "Interesting guy, it seems," he commented. "What do you guys think you're gonna head off to do? I think I'm gonna explore the school a bit more. You're free to join me, I'm just not really ready for rest just yet." He wanted to see what this place had to offer anyway. He was sure to find something interesting going on.
