Chapitre 7: The Academy - 2
He looks at a hologram showing my photo and credentials and speaks again: "■■■■■■, you managed to notice a good point. They weren't properly combined, which is why they're dying, as the genetics are in conflict, and it was only possible to grow them with the influence of a Gallifreyan temporal field."

Upon hearing this, I nod, and he turns to the other students, addressing their initial questions.
After 5 minutes, the Professor claps his hands, drawing the students' attention: "Well, 5 minutes have passed. Let's go, as the other classes need to occupy the room since there are many students this year."
As we leave the room, we see a new class coming in our direction. 'It seems the room introductions are quick, as there are many classes and only 11 or 12 rooms for each field of knowledge.'
"■■■■■■■, which field are you most excited to learn about?" Graiger asks.
'He seems very enthusiastic.'
"I'm interested in stellar engineering, space cartography, gravitational induction, and temporal engineering. I want to explore everything about the cosmos."
Hearing this, Graiger speaks excitedly: "Interesting, I prefer stellar engineering and vehicles. I want to build weapons; that must be cool."
"A good goal for the future," I say.
After this brief conversation, we arrive at the stellar engineering room. 'We'll probably study how a star behaves and how to extract energy from it.'

**POV - PROFESSOR RYLE**
**LOCATION - ACADEMY**
"Well class, today you got to know the rooms where you'll study for the first 45 years. After that, every 20 years, you'll advance, dropping some subjects from the curriculum and evolving others into more complex areas."
A student raises her hand. "Yes, Íris?"
"Professor, when can we graduate?"
Upon hearing this, I reply: "Well, after 120 years in school, you'll know most subjects and will be allowed to take an exam that determines if you can graduate or if you'll fail. But be aware that there's a limit to how many times you can take the exam. If you fail every time, you'll be expelled from school."
After that, no one else raised their hand, and I provided most of the instructions for the beginning.
"Well, that's all for today. Everyone should head to their dorms and prepare for the first class tomorrow."
All the students stand up and leave the room, and I see the two most intriguing students in the class talking as they leave, Graiger and ■■■■■. 'Lord Rassilon said to keep an eye on ■■■■■, probably because of the Rift since the supervisor of that initiation has already informed the other teachers about this anomaly.'
'Let's see how these two will fare in the future.'

**LOCATION - ACADEMY CAFETERIA**
When we left the room, Graiger suggested we come here to eat. I wanted to decline, but he ended up dragging me along, and he's quite strong for his age.
'He seems very outgoing. We barely talked, and he's already treating me like a friend. Interesting... so this is what it's like to have friends at school?'
"■■■■■■? Are you there? Why do you zone out all the time?"
'I see it's become a habit for me to have monologues with myself.' Upon hearing him, I turn. "I'm here. I have many ideas, and I'm always thinking about how to make them happen," I made up a quick excuse.
Hearing this, Graiger seems excited. "Interesting, you must be very smart to be like that, hehe. Maybe you can help me with the subjects." He gives me a mischievous smile.
I give a blank smile, and he smiles back.
'It's nice to make friends at school.'
When we went to get food, I saw there were several strange options, like Korvox, a type of whale from Gallifrey's seas. (My creation, because there isn't much information about Gallifrey's seas or what they ate.)
'I'm thinking of creating a zoo in my TARDIS, with various endangered species. Since a TARDIS can be virtually infinite in size, but consumes a lot of energy, it might be unable to fly. But it should be possible to create a space large enough for an island.'
"■■■■■■, over here."
Graiger says as we go to sit at a table in the cafeteria.
When we sit down, he starts talking: "So, how's the Lungbarrow House?"
"Still as wealthy as ever. They raised me well since I didn't want to go to any family. They found it strange, but agreed."
Graiger comments: "Ah yes, Castellan said you didn't want to be adopted by any family and preferred to live with your teacher for a while longer. He thought you got attached to her."
Hearing this, I smile. "Maybe. She was always a good teacher and loving, and she's practically my 'mother.' And you, which TARDIS do you think you'll be assigned in the future?"
Hearing this, Graiger becomes pensive and says: "I think that's too far in the future after we're 120 years old. If I think about it now, my head will explode. And don't you have any friends? Castellan said you never wanted to play with the other kids and even talked to my father about what to do about it."
Hearing this, I make a displeased face. 'I can't say I found the other kids too boring. I'm even surprised he's mature enough to have this level of conversation with me.' "No, I never wanted to play with them; they were too boring."
Graiger suggests: "You can come to my house so we can play with the ships my father has stored there; they're interesting."
"I'll consider it. When we leave in 6 months, I'll go there."
Graiger gets excited hearing this: "Okay, I'll be waiting. It's hard to find another smart kid our age."
I hear this and realize he has a much higher intellect than normal children. 'Interesting, so he's better than expected.'
After that, we continue talking about our interests and our small lives up to the present, which isn't much, haha.
After eating, we get up, and I say goodbye. "Graiger, I'm heading to my room. I need to prepare for tomorrow's class since we'll start studying mental protection."
"Okay, ■■■■■, see you tomorrow in class."
