The following week, Fortis goes to a meeting at "At Claire's." "Meeting with the newcomers" sounded as if the "old-timers" would take them one by one to a corner and beat them until they cried and acknowledged the authority of the gang that had already formed during their studies, and Fortis had already glimpsed a couple of newcomers – it was easy to assume that they wouldn't get along, and the instigator of the fight could very well be not the old-timers, but him. And yet, these fears could not make him miss the meeting – even in the worst-case scenario, it would clearly be more fun than sitting in the tiny dormitory room or aimlessly wandering around the academy.
