You meet some other humans

You wake up and decide to head downstairs to one of the common areas. You see a group of what seem to be a couple of the few humans that study here and you go to sit with them. "You must be new here. I'm James and this is Nathaniel" proclaimed James as he saw you. You respond with "I'm Henry, it's nice to meet you. How long have you all been here?". "We both got here 6 months ago. We got the same letter in the mail you did and I am going to assume you thought it was bullshit too" said Nathaniel. "I start class on Monday but I'm not even really sure what I am supposed to be studying. What did you guys pick?" you asked them. "There is no point in studying anything but some form of self defense" Nathaniel interrupted. "What do you mean?" you said. "Well here at the 'Trinity of Arts' you can only study Magic Swordsmanship, Offensive Magic, or the ever-useless for us History of Lost Magic. The first two you can actually use if you are walking home late at night and run into a werewolf. The last one, however, would not help you at all in that situation" Nathaniel stated. "I see..." you say.

"Matter of fact I say you start wearing those school robes sooner than later so you can hide your neck. Do you see that dude in the corner with the collar on?" James asked. He pointed to a corner of the room where you see a man with a collar on sitting next to a much larger orc lady. "What about him?" you ask. James then goes on to explain that the collar means that he is owned by that orc. He also explains that you should hide your neck or maybe consider getting one for protection. Most monsters will leave you alone if they think you belong to someone. "Thanks for the advice guys. I might see you all around school" you say as you leave.
