Very nice, this will make an good beginning. Now for the comments : (all comments I give are just my personal opinion )
You have a very good telling-style, keep it that way. If you want to make a full scale fantasy story btw, I would change "modern words" like university, it reminds me (personal opinion!!!!) to much of the time we live in now, in real life. Well, you have a great beginning, keep the good work up
