Xavier found himself wandering the halls of Syne Academy, something he did quite regularly anymore, what with no other agenda or place to go. He had just snuck in some combat practice, and eaves in on a history lessons about a very bloody war. Other than that, his day was rather mellow: eating by himself, more training by himself, coming up with combat maneuvers...by himself.
In all honesty, he didn't care all that much about 'school', but he was in fact eager to learn new things, and he figured that teaching himself would only get him so far. It would be much more beneficial for him to be taught by someone with more experience, and while he tried learning as much as he could by sneaking around and listening in, he had so many questions he wanted answered and things that needed more explanation. He was so hungry for knowledge of any sort, and he just wasn't getting what he needed.
Of course, the academy security always on his tail didn't really help with that: they never let him rest, always tracking him down and interrupting his training, while also forcing him to miss out on a lot of information because they just couldn't let him loiter and learn. Xavier understood they were just doing their job, and was actually impressed by their diligence...but in all honesty, he was getting tired of being forced to be stuck in one place.
Obviously, the first thing to come to one's mind would be to apply for the academy, rather than slinking around and causing a ruckus. That is exactly what Xavier had originally planned and attempted to do...but things didn't work out. That's not saying he got denied, but rather that he couldn't finish the application due to...'unreasonable questioning.'
It's not like it's my fault, I answered everything they asked about me and my person. It's the other questions that I couldn't answer...like my parents, or prior education, or my income, or shelter. What was I supposed to tell them? I don't have any answers for those, other than I don't have any of them, and I doubt that would be the answer they were looking for...
He also didn't like how the receptionist treated him when he asked her tell him what the questions were asking him and on what portion of the paper it was on. She had scowled at him and told him that this was not a 'laughing manner.' So he left and asked a student to tell him, and while looking at him awkwardly, did so.
It's like not understanding the scribbles on that paper was some kind of uncommon thing...I can't help that when they put it down it was all some sort of jumbled garbage, I was just asked to answer them.
It was late in the afternoon, almost evening, and all the students were gone. The only sounds you could hear were his own footsteps, and there were no guards to chase him down...
Wait a minute! Xavier halted in his tracks, and his ears started to twitch. There is someone else in here...but everyone was supposed to have left already! He quickly stuck himself to a nearby wall, spreading himself out thin, and slowed his breathing. He waited to see who was approaching, and they were indeed approaching, as the footsteps became louder and louder.
