Slowly, the discussion between Axel and the principal was coming to an end. From what Axel understood, his grandfather was a very good friend of Alric Stragoy, as they had both been classmates at the academy together once. At that time, the status of his Nomrad family was even worse; they were barely notable, more like a commoner's family, but with a bit more money, nothing more and nothing less.
As for the principal, he was an orphan coming from the slums, not knowing who his parents were, or he didn't even have anyone to support. Because of both of their more or less miserable situation without any support, they hit it off together pretty well in the academy.
