K beamed happily and gave her eldest daughter a rub on the head; her face was starting to hurt from just big her smile was getting. Holly read over what the letter said and brightened considerably seeing what it led up to. She'd consider for a moment and then tilt her head a little bit.
"This is the school you wanted right Sis?"
Holly looked somewhat shocked at recieving an invitation to a researching group. Her interest and curiousity spiked, she'd quietly set that aside going through the mail. Classes of math in terminus, several small schools in whitewater. She'd furrow her brow further when she arrived on a letter that was sealed with a wax circle bearing a very official looking sealing stamp. She'd stare at that one for a moment before setting it aside, that one didn't seem right to her.
Then she froze when her sister spoke, calling her smart. She felt her cheeks turn red and she'd flatten her ears somewhat bashfully.
"Mmm... Thank you Syre! I don't think making up my mind right now is going to be a good idea. But looking at all these might help me figure it out. Or look to somewhere when I am."
She'd pause and consider for a moment before opening another letter. This one was written in a very fancy manner that made her furrow her brows considerably. She'd lean a little bit and show it to her father...
K's eyes? They had never left that one letter she set aside. Her eyes had narrowed a little bit. She recognized the wax used, the smell of that envelope and she could tell by the penmanship of the address. She'd grit her teeth a little bit and shake her head. The other one that syre had gotten was something similar but... the wax sealing? She'd mutter under her breath, seeming irritated.
"Something seems off..."

"Mhm! Exactly the one I wanted!"
Syre gave a nod and a smile, and slipped back to her conversation with K. Honestly, it seemed that things were going to move much faster for the older sister. Mikemon, meanwhile, gave a few details of the schools that sent her actual offers, to start to give her an idea of just why her scores were so important. Just like Holly, Mikemon similarly ignored that notice from Luminas, knowing it was just going to be one more thing to throw into the bin.
"Mm! Just be glad you're getting so many, your options are open to you!"
"Well, maybe a class or two wouldn't hurt, but I don't want you deciding to choose a trade yet - ah, we don't need to look at that one too closely. Everyone can get into Luminas if they have a clean record." Mikemon gave a blink, though, as K mentioned that something was 'off'.
Um... wait.
"What exactly's off about it?" Mikemon tilted his head, looking over the invitation. "I mean, its basically just military school..."

"That's good!"
Holly bounced in her seat a little bit and blinked a few times. The amount of options she had in front of her was pretty stunning, overwhelming even. It made it difficult to really... consider anything right away. She'd have to dive into each one of them to even figure out a portion of what she could do where.
"I mean I am glad, but it's... a little overwhelming. I was expecting maybe one or two? Not... This."
The Meicrackmon made a somewhat frustrated looking face and gestured towards the letters. Picking up another terminus one before pulling it open, she'd raise her brows a little bit and tilt her head to one side. While her father spoke about the luminas one, her record was clean and... well.
"I mean that's good right? My record being clean and stuff? Why don't I need to look at it closely?"
The renamon leaned over and picked up the envelope; staring at it for a few moments before handing it to the mikemon. Her expression was fairly flat and she'd grit her teeth.
"Look at the seal and look at everything else. Most of the invitations are printed, this one is hand written. I'd bet that the letter is too. That's not really normal for schools is it?"
Holly was busy sort of looking over the rest of the invitations. Some of them piqued her interest and were added to the pile of 'go over for later' while a few were simply placed halfway in their envelopes. She wasn't sure how to go about research groups, classes or schools. But she was intending to keep them all; to try to figure out what was what. Though this luminas one seemed to be... bad?
"Most of mine are printed... Though the researchy one looks like it was written by someone with a REALLY steady hand."

"Well, I warned you when ya took the test, Holly." Mikemon gave a small, lighthearted chuckle as Holly both marveled and expressed her frustration at the huge pile of letters in front of her. Still, it was at least good for Holly to get an idea of her prospects - though at the question about Luminas, he gave his explanation:
"If you take your classes at Luminas, it means that you also have to work at Luminas itself, for at least five cycles, before you can do your own thing. And they like to keep that period going as long as possible. Its... not bad work, but it is somewhat limiting of your options. Its definitely not for someone who doesn't want to stay too long in one place... hm?
Oh, that was what K was worried about? The cat blinked, then gave a short chuckle: "I also had to wave a direct offer off for Siris. K, you're of holy blood, now - and that means that Siris, Syre, and Holly are too. Luminas very much wants to take care of their own, so don't take it too personally."
"Oh, right, the Jesmon Cloak..." Syre gave a nod, giving a chuckle. "Yeah, don't worry about it, mom! We're still gonna do what we want to do!"

"I mean you did warn me about stuff, but you didn't seem to think it'd be.... like this"
Holly vaguely gesture and she'd rub the back of her head. She'd blink a few times and scratch at her head. Did she want to stay in one place? Did she mind helping out a country she knew very little about? What sort of things would this school want from her. Narrowing her eyes a bit the meicrackmon would reach over to pick up the letter and without even hesitating she'd open it.
"I don't know what I want. I don't know enough about them, terminus, whitewater, rustport or even rosewood. To make any degree of choices I'd have to examine the cities. Trades, opportunities that would spring from them. If I took classes at luminas working for the same city would guarantee a form of income in some variety or another. Housing, food. All sorts of stuff right? They'd take care of me; but that itself could add to a burden one way or another. I need more information. So I guess I have something else to look into. But if they have classes I want what's the worst that could happen?"
The meicrackmon would read over the letter, furrowing her brow considerably and then she'd blink a few times before turning the letter over to read the back side. She seemed amused by something but she'd simply just shake her head. K on the other hand let out a small sigh.
"Suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Well it's more than just the Jesmon cloak Dear but you have the jist of it! That's good. Make your own choices and learn what you want to."
Holly's expression darkened a little bit and she'd bite her lower lip.
"They want me in a research division or group of some kind and want to provide schooling for it. It's... not a limited time offer either. I need to seriously think about all of these. But they want me to provide some form of proof the test wasn't wrong. Don't know what that means but..."

True, this was a bit much, but at least it would be a story to tell at a later date. And heck, at the very least they could use this scrap paper for... something, maybe?
"Well, its less 'guarantee' and more 'force', if you want to look at it another way. They can certainly stop providing if they want to." Giving a slight shrug, he would help Holly sort through the various letters - glad, at least, that Syre got the one that she was looking for. "Of course, we have a bit more to get through before we worry about classes. You still gotta get up to speed, as well as get into a proper sparring regiment..."
That aside, Syre gave a nod ad her mom's response. Yes, it was more than the cloak, but that was the simplest way of putting it! "Hehe! I'll make sure you're proud, mom. And I'm sure Holly will, too!"
Once more, the MeiCrackmon spoke of research, Mikemon peering over his arm to look at the letter. "Think over it as much as you want, Holly. None of these are too much of a rush..."

Holly ran her eyes along the letter for a few moments before sighing gently. Keeping all these letters would be a tiring effort in the long run but if she wanted to seriously bring this sort of thing into being she'd have to consider all of them.
"Hmm. Another thing to consider, but why would they stop providing for one of their own? Unless I did something... bad."
The meicrackmon was looking for the right word and she was pretty sure that was the wrong one. But it didn't much matter to her, she'd sort through the letters the best she could. Most of them were for schools but the very last one was just a simple letter from another school up in luminas. It gave a brief summarization of classes available up there and something about contacting them at the earliest convenience. Her da made sense in the entire bit about getting her up to speed.
"Up to speed about most things I imagine. When do you want to start doing that Da? You know I don't have much of a schedule as is."
The meicrackmon frowned a bit still examining the first letter from luminas. The second one seemed... paltry in comparison. Holly blinked a few times and read the last few lines one last time.
"They all can give me a good... place to go to, people to meet. Things to learn. Once I've done more research on the places that sent me letters and the groups I'll put some better thought into it. For now I want to keep all of these. Up until I decide. Even then, knowing schools and research groups won't just help me right?"
The meicrackmon would hand that letter from luminas to her father. The research division in question? Well mikemon would likely know of it. As they would be tied to the ruling government and military.
