Next day, after homeroom, Eleanor went to the Lightning School. In the academy, each elemental school had its own building, standing almost elite compared to departments like Wilderness Survival, which had only a single classroom in the main academy building. Elemental schools even maintained their own Core Magic Department, with a luxurious central office in the academy's main hall.
When Eleanor stepped into the ground-floor lobby, the receptionist looked astonished as soon as she heard Eleanor's request.
"Cadet, you're far too late. Admission closed days ago. The academy should have informed you that enrolment is only open for the first five days. By now, the other students are well ahead in their classes. We can't arrange a separate class just for you. Besides, the primary term is far too short for you to catch up."
