BEOMGYU POV

All my life I was one thing or the other. I was odd. I was magical. I was a pureblood. This was my chance to change everything. I was headed to the Monzara, Institute Of The Arcane. 

I walked with my father with an excited pep in my step. "행복해요! 오늘이 바로 그 날이에요!" (I am happy ! Today's the day !) My father laughed as he drove me. I could tell he seemed proud of me. He was proud, right ? "You certainly are excited, my boy. I enjoy seeing you happy." I sighed. I looked up to my father immensely. I wished to be just like him. 

"I--", I started before my father interjected. He seemed to understand what I was about to say. "범규 씨 부담스러워요? 여러분은 항상 가족과 함께 집에 있을 수 있습니다. 아무도 당신이 그 결정을 내리는 것을 비난하지 않을 것입니다." (Do you feel pressured, Beomgyu ? You can always stay home with your family. No one would fault you in making that decision.) I know my family loved me. However, I was mostly intrigued. I've heard about this institute my whole life. So why do I feel like running away from it ? Soon enough we were nearing the road up to the gates. 

"I feel a bit off. What if coming here ends up being a mistake once again ?", I asked as my father gave me a teary eyed smile. I could tell this pained him. Hearing me doubt myself as much as I do. "You have your friends to help guide you, no ? I believe you'll adjust well if you stick to your training."

I bet you're wondering what exactly the training is, I don't even have an answer to give you. The only consistent thing about the training was that it was taxing on the body. Super exhausting. I was a bit terrified, but I think it was general anxiety. "그걸로 충분할까요, 아빠? 당신을 완전히 실망시키는 일은 절대 하고 싶지 않아요." (Would that be enough, Dad ? The last thing I want to do is completely disappoint you.) I said as my unnatural green eyes met his eyes. My father parked where we had a clear shot of the institute' front gates. "That would be enough..."

Not long after saying goodbye, I met my friends in the courtyard. Soobin was the last to arrive. I was so excited to see him that I tackled him in a fit of laughter alongside our other friends.

Soon enough we were making our way into the institute...

Sincerely, B
