True. But I mean it is good underestimating things, then you won't be disappointed and be proud that you accomplished this much. Why in the world do I sound so philosophical?

Galaxy POV (If you don't remember this is the vice principal)

Universe and I prepared for the meeting with the council, there concerns about Ophiuschus and Pluto were rising, and since the first years had been involved, it was our job to report.
I went through the files for Ophiuschus and Pluto, hoping to find something we'd missed.
My eyes scanned the page, hoping to discover anything that could help us.
I landed on a line, one that changed the entire case.

Applicant for Celestial Academy, Application No. 1439

I gasped, and immediately called my brother. Since his office was adjacent to mine he could walk right in if I called him.

"Look at this!" I pointed to the line.

"That's definitely good!" my brother nodded, "Wasn't Pluto an applicant too?"

"Yeah, why were they rejected again?" I looked up at him, curious. "I remember Pluto being a bright boy, and his parents were on the school board,"

"Their blood, descendants of Hades," 

A cold chill settled over the room, the descendants of Hades didn't have the best reputation, with their lives destined to be sorrowful and dejected. My Brother and I, were descendants of Chaos, the primal force that begun it all.

"We need to go through their applications, we could get a contact maybe?" I asked.

"Sure, but it could take a while, I'll get Tyche on it, maybe she'll have some good luck," He smirked.

"I'll get her up here, when's the meeting with the council? I want to get this information organised by then,"

"At four, you have an hour," Universe left me to organise.

I went on the phone and asked for Tyche, she came up immediately and I gave her my orders. I felt bad for her, considering she would have to search through, so I decided to come with her. We journeyed to the record rooms, preparing for our search. I carried the papers in my hands, so we would remember everything.

"What's the applicant number Galaxy?" Tyche asked.

"Number 1439, it shouldn't be too hard, we'll have to look from 1000 to 1500, and then subsection 1400," I informed.

We opened the drawers for 1000-1500 and pulled the 1400s out to put on a desk and thumb through. As Tyche searched for Ophiuschus' application, I looked for Pluto's. I knew he was in the 'recommended' drawer because of his connections.

"Found it!" Tyche called out.

"Okay! I'll be there in a minute," I called out.

I found Pluto's application and went to Tyche, hoping to find something. I scanned the applications and pulled out my laptop from my bag, to type out the notes.

"We should start accepting E-Applications,' I sighed.

"I like the way it is, it's like a bunch of history in one room," She grinned.

I rolled my eyes and scanned the applications.
