(Emerald get's offered a scholarship.)

Emerald thinks on it a little. It wouldn't be good to look for alchemy books here, so he decides to try and look for anything on his family's lineage, however there doesn't seem to be much, which is to be expected. From what he remembers, his family was a powerful merchant family that just got recently brought into the regency through marriage a generation ago. Since then the Jewel family has just grown in power.

Emerald can't think of anything, so walks up to one of the scholars. He is reading a Gryphon book called "Rotational Wind Magic". The scholar is a middle aged unicorn with white maned with light orange fur. His uniform is crisp and clean, and he is wearing thin glasses and is wrinkled in concentration. Emerald asks what he book is about and he says,

"Tornadoes."

Emerald mentions that he supposes looking at Gryphon magic is best for that then. Joyride told him how they are good with wind magic, but he doesn't mention that part. He asks if he has any good books for beginning wind magic.

"Nothing that isn't in Gryphon." The scholar says tersely.

Emerald mentions that he can read Gryphon, so that's fine.

The scholar finally looks up from his book and says, "Really? Spent some time in the Gryphon lands did you?"

Emerald says no, and that he just likes to read and knows a lot of languages because of that.

"Hmm… Really now?"

The scholar then points out excerpts from different books and tells Emerald to read them, which he does. He then grabs books with other languages, and Emerald reads them all.

"My goodness child. You learned this all by yourself? Who taught you? You should be in school with a brain like that! Are your parent's here? I might be able to get you a scholarship!"
