Nick Looked at the sky above the teleportation square. The sky was not much different then before when talking about the planets however there was not as many in the sky. Instead a giant ball of fire sat taking up most of the sky. He had heard that the Sky Institute was closer to the core of the realm and thought nothing of it. The sun in the sky says otherwise, it must be the literal core of the realm. After all the such a huge realm must be powered by something. Looking away from the sky the buildings around Nick seemed to be made out of marble with large columns and open air spaces. He could see teachers teaching in front of classes of 20 to 30 students inside a few buildings. Around the square there where 20 or so people standing around seeming to be waiting for them. As Nick watched they all started walking up to the others around him and pulling them away.

Next to Nick a short girl stopped and introduced herself "I am Alice I will be your guide to get you started here at the Sky Institute. If you would follow me we can get started." Nick nodded and followed Alice walking towards a tall building one of the few that he could not see inside. As they walked he listened as Alice introduced the situation of the Institute. "As you can see you will have some of your classes here in pavilions most of your theoretical knowledge classes will be here as for practical classes you wont have any until you form you core after you start practicing. Once you form your core you can sign up for practical classes. While we can teach you knowledge here at the Sky Institute you can not actually use any of it until you can form a core. So only then can teach such a class. Meals will be provided in the cafeteria however you must be on time for the scheduled meal times otherwise you will have to wait for the next scheduled meal time. If you miss a meal you can always buy some snacks at the Snack cart as well however this is not provided by the Institute." Reaching the tall building they walked in Alice stopped talking to Nick and said to the guy behind the counter. "I have one new student I need uniforms and basic necessities." The guy turning around behind the counter he gathered a stack of uniforms, bar of soap, and toothbrush. Alice thanked the man and turned away walking out the door they came from.

Nick barely had a chance to pick the items up and ran to catch up with Alice "From now on you can pick up your daily necessities from that counter on the first of every month. Since you are a first year you will have to share a room with one roommate. During your second year you will be given the option to get your own room. However that will only happen if you are able to form your core. If you are unable tot form your core in the first half year here the chances of you being able to go on will be slim to none. After all the practical's are a big part of being able to become a second year." Looking at Nick making sure he heard everything that she said she asked "Do you have any questions?" Nick looking at her bored and quick attitude towards giving him a introduction nodded his head no. Not being able to think of any questions at this time. Seeing that Nick understood for the most part Alice smiled and quickened her steps. Walking towards a large buildings with many windows with many students on balcony's or organizing there things inside.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

After walking for ten minutes Alice had finally walked Nick to his new room where he will be staying for his first year here at Sky Institute. Seeing that her job was done Alice turned and walked away before Nick could thank her or open his dorm room. Shaking his head Nick opened his door and looked inside while plain there was plenty of space with two beds two dressers and desks. With a boy on one of the beds lying down. Seeing that someone had walked in he jumped up quickly to greet his new roommate. Looking at Nick in shock for a second he threw his hands in the air and said "It's you remember me? It's me Albert I sold you that slime and we took the same teleportation array here." Nick had not forgotten this man "I remember you." He replied. With Albert sitting back on the bed Nick set his stuff on the bed and started organizing his things into the drawers of the dresser on his side of the room that Albert had not claimed.

Chatting for a few hours Nick had started feeling hungry before he could ask if Albert wanted to grab a bit of dinner. He could hear a growling noise not understanding at first he could Alberts face get red. Seeing his expression Nick nodded in understanding. "Why don't we go get a bit the cafeteria should be opening about now for dinner." Nick starting to think about food started to feel very hungry after all he had not eaten since breakfast this morning before he had arrived here in the Delian Realm. Getting up they started their walk to the cafeteria. The cafeteria was another pavilion near the dorm building with with walls surrounding and the other half with tables laid out for students to sit and eat. Grabbing trays they got in line and picked out a meal to eat finding a place to sit to eat.

While eating Nick asked how the classes where scheduled from what Albert and Nick discussed early in the dorm Alberts guide had explained more to him then Alice ended up doing. "So the classes are scheduled with theoretical in the morning right after breakfast lasting until lunch. After lunch we will have practical after we have formed our core the rest of the time will be to practice on our own and grow our core or do whatever we want." "Also from what my guide told me the reason they give us so much free time is to see who will slack off. After all the school does not want to cultivate slackers. The Sky Institute is here at the core of the realm to cultivate the best of the best to lead the next generation. This is also the reason they do not schedule anything in the time practical's should be going on giving us more time to practice. The faster we successfully form a core the more we can learn before the final test to be promoted to a second year." After finishing there dinner the headed back to the dorm room to get an early rest for the long day they have ahead of them tomorrow.
