162 Exchange students [2]

The sun slowly rose from the horizon, and Ashton City, more specifically, the Lock, basked in the warmth of the sun. 

Standing at the entrance of the academy, enjoying the warmth that came from the sun, I glanced towards my right where a beautiful young girl stood.

Currently, Melissa and I were waiting at the northern entrance of the academy. According to Donna's instructions, we would soon meet students coming from one of the four great academies. 

Our job was to greet them and bring them around the campus to familiarize themselves with the place.  Although I wasn't sure about which academy they were from or who they were, that didn't really matter.

During the past month, I didn't stand idle. 

Having learned my lesson from the situation at the Manticore building, after being made aware of the student exchange, I immediately memorized every single profile of the students that were coming to the Lock.
