Diana stood/existed there inside the cocoon, shocked. The reception lady in front of her had a bored and quite tired look on her face. Vita was, well, amused by the whole ordeal. Long story short, Diana is by law not allowed to have any unregistered 'animal companions' in public spaces such as a university and must show the proper paperwork confirming that Vita can stay 'docile' around other people unless a special situation occurs.

“A-b-b-bout that, uh, how do I get this pyre-uhm-paperwork done?” Stuttering all the way, Diana was scratching at the arm that had damaged a couple of hours ago. The reception lady somehow managed to notice this and sighed.

“Don't worry about it, it only takes an hour or two to get the entire ordeal in order. Back in the day, having pets with had any trace of magical abilities or even non-natural effects to them were highly illegal and killed on the spot for the most part. Could you imagine my reaction when I was ten, when the police showed up because I had a pet cat that could sing? Either way, with your family heritage and with you being the champion of the tournament, you should get away scot-free in some scenarios. I'll send a message to the department of magical beasts, in the meantime fill out these papers for me.” She handed over the papers to the hand sticking out of the cocoon and took in a breath, continuing to speak in a monotone voice. “Remember to fill out at least two subjects you find interesting, don't take too many as that may have negative effects on your mental health and make sure that you meet up in the right rooms on time. Are there any questions you have at the moment?”

The old lady sagged down a tad bit after the massive amount of words that had flown out of her mouth. Diana moved her lips around thinking about something, hopefully, intelligent.

“Uhm, so what do I do now?” The light in the old lady's eyes dimmed ever so slightly.

“Oh boy. Wait nearby, fill out the papers on what you want to study. Your ring functions as a communications device between the university and yourself, so it will light up whenever you get contacted by university staff. When it lights up, it will most likely be me contacting you so that you may get your papers. Fill those out, and you'll get a message back within two to ten days. Any more questions?” She stared at Diana's tiny face with a tired look in her eyes. Diana quickly shook her head and tried signalling for Vita to leave the line.

The old reception lady took a long and loud sip from her cup of something. Her day was just getting longer and longer with each idiot who came by.

Vita walked over to the fresh friend group, all of them busy looking through their papers. Well except for Heracles, who had showed it down his pant-pocket like a brute.

“So what did everyone pick, have you found anything interesting?” Diana asked. Heracles started talking just as Earl opened his mouth.

“Easy. 'The ruler of everything' needs a perfect balance of the three realms and the four elements. So the basics of the body, the mind, mana and the basics of the four biggest elements. Grandma told me that I should always understand the basics of everything so that I can understand everything." With an angry scowl, Earl spoke up.

"Due to the nature of my magic, I will be picking up fire and water based subjects. I wish to improve my swordsmanship, so I'll be picking that up as well." Finishing his sentence by pushing up his glasses, he looked at both Diana and Beatrice.

"I haven't fully decided yet, but I am thinking Normal Botany and Magic Botany. I should probably pick up on a subject with mana as well. Maybe I could pick up medicine?" She rubbed her chin with her index and thumb, reading through the list multiple times.

"Mabe farming?" Heracles asked. Earl turned to ask Diana what she was picking while the other two were busy fighting.

"Well, I am not quite sure what to pick. I could try to learn a different branch of magic or... No, I'm not sure." She pondered. Earl, and later Beatrice and Heracles, would suggest a subject that Diana could consider picking, but she was never sure about picking any of them. It was now Vita's turn to finally speak up.

"You should do like Heracles and learn the basics of magic. And because of me, you should consider something related to beasts and monsters. Maybe even a weapon with some reach so that we can fight more effectively." Vita said nonchalantly.

"Wow, Vita, I think this is your longest sentence yet! Alright, I'll do as you said." Smiling, she looked through the paper again and used one of Vita's vines to write a checkmark on the subjects Vita recommended.

After everyone picked what they wanted, there was a 'finished' box at the end that burned up the paper. The ashes of the paper flew into their rings as they started to softly glow as well. But while the other three had their rings stop glowing, Diana's started to glow even more as a voice came out from it.

"Diana Wolfheart, please come to the reception area at the main entrance." With a 'phew', the ring stopped glowing.

"I'm sorry, but I need to go now. I will talk with you guys later then!" They said their goodbyes to each other as she walked away, still in the cocoon made out of vines. On the short way over, Diana was thinking over what kind of written test it would be, but to her surprise, a man with an odd cannon-like hairstyle stood there next to the reception lady. He looked like he would work for the government, and his face was as hard as steel. But his hair confused Diana more the longer she thought about it.
