"I don't doubt it but you have talents that they cannot nurture the way we can." Michael said taking out a guide to the school "I was where you are once and I know that I made the right choice."

The man near the newcomer rolled his eyes. "Look if this is another stupid publicity of other schools I'm going to kick you out in less that five seconds" He said, strangely calmly.

Aras looked at the guide and frowned. "What's this? A fancy school for what?"

"For people like us, people with abilities." Michael said "Call the falcon Aras thats a good girl."

Aras just looked at him and leaned against the wall doing nothing, a bit annoyed by the order. "He's talking about Asthor, dad" She said.

The man frowned and looked at the man again. "So, you're saying you come from a strange school to take my child away because that blue chicken keeps appearing?" He asked. "Exactly in what would this serve her, or for what? To make more blue chickens appear?"

"Something more useful eventually." Michael said "Although specializing in summoning one creature en mass is also an option." He explained "We have several Summoners who do that at the moment."

"Uh hu, so... where is this school, it's a kind of after school thing, right? Like martial arts or something" The father asked.

"No I'm afraid not." Michael "Its boarding only, the area is too large for students to commute." He said "The school is in the Pine Barrens."

"Soooo, you're taking kids with mild strange powers to make them stranger and then get them back here on the real world or do you have your own parallel universe or something?" The father asked, not getting it. "Cuz if you have then I won't see my kid again, right? And if you haven't then the idea is just way too stupid to even considerate it"

"Whether they want to return here during the holidays and after graduation is up to them." Michael said "The option to return is available every holiday if they sign up for it."

"Yeah, but what would they learn that serves them HERE?" The man asked.

"Is this a Harry Potter kind of crap?" The kid asked.
