"It is an honor to have a Phantomhive so seriously interested in our Academy, we are more than pleased to have you here."

"Please..just..I want this to be a normal experience. I'm not asking you to keep a secret I just want little to no favoritism. I'm not here to be handed an education. I'm here to see if your reputation proceeds you, Mr. Eiffle."

"Why of course, Lord Phantomhive."

"Viktor.."

"What?"

Viktor cleared his throat nervously, "My name is Viktor.."

"Oh right, so sorry. What are your interests Lord- I mean, Viktor."

"I have a list of specific things I'm looking for." He slides a piece of paper across the headmasters desk. "Can I get any of this here?"

"Of course you can." He glanced over the small paper as a wave of shock amplified his features, "Actually you can get all of this here.. Viktor..are you looking to be a knight?"

"I am."

"Then you want to start in our program as soon as possible.. when would you like that to be."

"Just as you said, as soon as possible." The older gentleman rustled through some drawers at his desk leaving Sebastian cringing at his lack or organization. "Ah, here we are, do you think you could get your parents to sign these?"

He laid a stack of papers in front of Viktor and Sebastian scooped them up instinctively being the adult in this situation, "What is all of this? Master Phantomhive is a very busy man. Is there anything I could sign in his place?"

"Do you have some sort of custodial guardianship over Viktor?"

Sebastian raised a brow, "I'm his godfather."

"I would rather have Ciel Phantomhives signature on those papers, personally. No offense toward you Mr. Michaelis.."

"None taken." Sebastian mumbled as he flipped through the papers. "Lets go, Viktor, I'll be back soon to return the papers." Viktor nodded and said his goodbyes before following Sebastian out the door and down the hall.

"This is it, Sebatian! This is the one I've been looking for. It's so much better than the one we visited yesterday."

"I agree. The problem, however, is getting your father to sign all of these..much less agree to this."

"What do you mean?"

"This paperwork will allow you to begin immediate enrollment this spring. You're still very young, Viktor. We were anticipating maybe a year or two down the road...but this spring.."

"The sooner the better."

"That's not all, you have to take tests and score into these college classes. This isn't like being homeschooled at all."

"That's why I'm excited!"

"You really want to do this??"

"I do. More than anything. Please, Sebastian, won't you talk dad into it???"

"...I'll do everything I can."

~~~

"You want me to what?"

"You're old so you must know a few things about self defense. Teach me."

Kyran stood in front of Celine in the ballroom, "shouldn't your father handle this..?"

"Actually..I don't want you to tell him.."

"Now you want me to keep a secret?"

"Yes, please."
