I wanna answer that question too.
Ray came to finish unfinished business he has with the University of Zeltiva, not only that but a quest brought him here. So... he kinda had to come here to finish his quest.

OOCly- I thought it would be fun to play as an Alchemy professor.
Though :/ Im finding Im not having the time I have for all the threads I planned out. So, in light of that, I will be doing threads with teacher/student instead of teacher/class. Doing this for two reasons- to better reflect the personal 'relationship' bond that the Zeltiva mods want, and to give me a break from the one giant class thread that isnt turning out how Id like it to (lol, I know that is mostly my fault, buut I think it would work and be easier if the threads were, in fact, one on one.), an oversight in my part. :/
