Ichiro Bendoit

Ichiro stepped back, coating his staff with light. He twirled the staff, striking at each blade of shadow. He moved slightly after each strike, dodging a few blades completely. Ichiro let go of her mind, focusing on dodging. He slammed his staff into the ground and drew a sign on the ground. Light exploded from his staff, creating a shell of light around him. Ichiro smiled a bit, but quickly lost the smile as he saw Bartuc. He stood up and watched as everyone burst in. He stood there dumbfounded. He blinked as Helios pointed to him, saying that he would know. Ichiro opened his mouth and spoke silently "Uh... well..."

Lysander Von Kringst

Lysander nodded, standing up to follow Epalm "Best of luck to you." He nodded to Elissa. As Lysander ran he started to sing, just above a mutter. The words were barely audible, but they made a difference. His feet began moving quicker, as did Epalm's. As they reached the room Lysander stopped singing, watching as Epalm already intervened. Lysander watched silently, looking at the blood on the ground he glanced at each of the children in the room. Ichiro was standing there. He seemed rather confused. Bartuc was passed out, on top of Ariana, who was also passed out still. Lysander sighed, looking at the last two students. Melanie, his own student. And Helios, the rather strange cat child. Lysander walked over to Melanie and put his hand on her shoulder "Put your weapons away. Threatening the medical staff is not something you want to get in trouble for."

The girl never gave him a response, and just walked away. He gave up asking her again. She seemed to be feeling a bit grouchy, he thought.

He then felt a flash of killing intent in the air. He pose stiffened defensively, feeling a threat in the campus. What was that? Without giving a second thought, he jumped up the air. Smoked covered his whole body. As the smoke dispersed, he was gone.

Jayde traced the scent of battle inside the campus as the ran through the corridors, his mouth covered with a mask. Not wanting to be seen, he enveloped himself with smoke, and then he couldn't be seen.

He spotted a crowd nearby. The ninja reached for the ceiling crawling towards the scene. Two students, injured badly, were being healed. The teacher, he guessed, was asking questions of what had happened. Without a lot in the whole are, this might pose for concern. Wanting to know more, he stayed hanging on the ceiling, cloaked, and watching.

The weight of pain suffocated the air, blood coated the floors. That is all this place seemed to bring. Pain. He was present when the other students and teachers died but this was just nonsense, two students had started sparring and it escalated quickly but why the violence to such a huge degree? Surely someone would have noticed earlier but he supposed it had something to do with magic dampeners or something clever Phauran had done to prevent the schools total obliteration from such an occurance.
Sniffing the air he picked up traces of powder, smoke really, and could tell he wasn't alone on the roof but he wasn't about to stop trying. Placing his hands on the roof shingles he closed his eyes and waited until he felt the small vibrations of a foot landing somewhere a short distance from him, the roof was slanted so he doubted they saw him.
With skill and grace the undead man creeped forward until he got a vantage point, he could see the kids being taken out of the training room and to the emergency area but he knew someone else was watching intently. A bad time to be unaware. From his inner pocket he pulled out a small pile of dust died red that he used for his poison, alone it was harmless unless a large quantity was consumed, and tossed it outwards. With a grin he saw it reveal someone and he pounced immediatly from his hiding position.

Both batons in hand he swung for where he thought the head would be with his left arm brought the other baton close to his chest to block any incoming attacks he could, the whistling of air from the baton was likely the only noise he had made during the brief moment between the dust settling and the other realizing what was happening.

_________________
Fenix13: I want you dead. Badly.
Zath: I second this motion.

Sensing trouble, Jayde didn't look for the threat instead his body phazed. The baton missed him completely. Smoke puffed to one side of the corridor. Smoke dispersed and revealed Jayde to everyone. Jayde searched for the threat but turned his eyes on the crowd. His cover his blown.

The ninja stood up, staring at them, feeling disappointed. "Cover blown," he hushed.

~~Juniper~~

Her headphones were embedded in her ears. She crawled out of bed and picked up her bra off the floor. She selected a blood red camisole from the closet threw it on her body and then selected a black cleavagey shirt that showed off the spider tattoo that ran across her torso. She could see the bottom of the spider and its legs dancing across her breasts a spray of spiderweb dancing up her neck. Throwing on a floor length skirt of a dark evil looking purple with a bright green trim she walked out the door of her room the door slamming shut behind her.

She walked down the hall her gauntlet slamming against every stone wall she saw grinning when it splintered. Evidence of previous passages by her was there. She was getting stronger. Each slam against the wall coincided with a blast of bass out of her headphones. the shredding guitar the low growl of the singer all excited her as she headed towards the commons area wondering who was there. She chuckled a bit as she scanned the room taking a seat on a stone bench playing with the hem of her skirt.

-Phauran-
~Movin on up!~

The events continued as usual after the little event between his daughter and the fire priest, his daughter would recover because she didn't have any real wounds other than a few bruises and some broken bones but those could be taken care of quickly and effectively albeit a little bit of stinging but the fire boy was on deaths door from blood loss and exhaustion. It wasn't Bartuc's usual style to try and save someone like he did Ichiro and the other boy, was it the events from 3 months ago that haunted him?
He rubbed his chin in contemplation, from what he heard from Epalm the boys flames were changing into something different then an average fire priest or even Epalms own unique fire. It was colder. Not deeper in any way, but colder in temperature, Phauran had read something about 'corrupters' but evidence led to their extinction a millenia ago so it was extremely unlikely to be the case... but stranger things have survived the passages of time, like his own daughters strange ability and Phaurans own secret ability. Which he would make use of again, someday.

Shaking his head from his contemplative nature he touched his temple with two fingers and sent his thoughts out through the school like a microphone. "It is now 9 am, classes will come into session in half an hour. Teacher's are advised to begin training students on Fusion attacks. That will be all." Signing off without a sound. Going back to rubbing his chin he couldn't help but trace back to the student called Bartuc, he would need to investigate further but through different methods.

Up on the roof he spotted the undead child and gave a grin.


-Valas Hune-

Stretching his arms after the commotion and his own little test, he heard the announcement and gave a sigh. Most of the kids in his classes weren't magically inclined to the degree needed to give a fusion attack. Atleast not yet. He put on a smile under his black leather mask and touched it lightly as he closed his eyes to give a prayer to Vhearun before walking to his classroom. He normally used to training room but it was a bit... messy... at the moment, so he had opted for a standard classroom that wasn't being occupied and began pushing the desks to the side. Because he lacked a training dummy he had to use himself today or risk Phaurans displeasure at progress. God forbid.


-Bartuc-
~Avoid the light, embrace the darkness~

Tossin 'n turning, bitches. He out! (Sleeping, that is.)

Jayde walked down the hall, feeling some disappointment in himself. Again, that was the nth time he was detected while cloaked. He had not fully able to conceal himself completely. The level of mastery is low, and he had to improve on that.

He got startled when he hear a voice in his head. He stopped to listen on the announcement he was giving. Yes, it was almost time for class. He had yet to find a teacher. Jayde remembers that he can choose whatever class he wants to attend. He still wasn't sure about what subject to take... but he was interested in learning psyconics. He just have to know who teaches it.

Entering the cafeteria, he looked around, looking for someone to ask directions.

Galaxy- Sleep, Eat, Use Magic, Done.

Phauran's message interrupted Galaxy's sweet sleep, and she rolled out of bed lazily, groaning. Sometimes all she wanted to do were sleep, eat, and use magic. She sighed as she brushed her long hair to a gloss, then dressed. Her mind was the usual sort of empty we feel when we wake up, until she recalled Phauran's message. "9 AM!" She yelled. "I'm gonna be late for breakfast!" She rushed out of her room, and stopped. "My hat!" She rushed back in, and once retrieved her lucky hat, ran down to the cafeteria. Galaxy noticed the signs of heavy slamming on every stone wall, but didn't bother to ask.

Once gotten a breakfast of waffles with ice cream and chocolate syrup on top, plus orange juice, Galaxy sat down at her usual table. She ate it in ten minutes flat.

There was a commotion nearby, and Galaxy decided to check it out. She gasped when she saw the floor covered with blood, Ichiro standing there, Bartuc unconscious on top of an unconscious Ariana. Lysander and Epalm were there, as well as Melanie and Helios. The blood haunted of death such as Ms. Omnos', whose death had frightened her. She was the only teacher of mages, yet Ms. Omnos had died. "What happened?" She asked, brown eyes widening.

Casey- What The Heck?

Casey walked over to the crowd, curious. Once she saw the blood on the floor, she asked confused Ichiro, "What the heck happened here?!" Her vision flashed with red as the blood reminded her of the battle. Her knees slightly trembled.

Helios Felis & Melanie Enjoulee


"Helios, wait up", Melanie said as she caught up with Helios who was just about to enter his room.

"What is it, Mel?"

"Uh, n-nothing. Everything's just fine! Yeah, that's right! He he...", Melanie replied awkwardly in front of Helios. Was there something wrong with him? Was he frustrated or worried about what happened earlier? Or both?


FLASHBACK


Pausing his hand from moving any further when he almost touched Elissa's face with his intended slap, Helios thought to himself about who was truly at fault in the situation and realised that he didn't have the right to be judge and jury in this. Standing up, Helios turned around to head for the exit but was suddenly stopped by a calm Epalm with his hands grabbing at the cat-boy's. When released, Helios rubbed his wrist out of pain. Was a teacher really that strong?

"No need to worry, teacher. I did nothing to her", Helios replied calmly as he walked away from the scene and exited the place.

"Come on, Melanie. We're leaving", he said as he walked past the others in front of the entrance and made his way towards his room.

"Oh, uh, Galaxy! Uh, some guys fought here and then, someone got injured and then Helios and me saw, and uh, came to help, teachers came too and and uh-um something...", Melanie said quickly with confusion as she tried to explain what had happened earlier to Galaxy. They had been friends since school started and they were considered to be on good terms with each other. Friends and nothing more to it.

"Huh? W-wait up, Helios!", Melanie said surprisingly as she unsummoned her sword and ran to catch up to Helios. Realizing what she had done before at the entrance, she quickly tuned around and gave a bow towards the teacher before yelling out an apology.

"I'm sorry, teach!", she said cheerfully before she continued catching up with Helios.


CURRENT TIME


"Okay then", Helios gave a reply with a bored look before entering his room to get his things for class.

"Yeah, well uh, see you", Melanie gave a smile before going to her own room for preparations.


TIMESKIP


Both Helios and Melanie entered their respective classes without any problems. Taking a seat somewhere, both of the students waited for their lessons to begin.

~~Juniper...where was she hiding that thing I wonder? hrm?~~

She smiled hearing the announcement and heading to Valas' classroom. She paused at the doorway listening hearing the commotion of him moving desks inside. She drew her weapon smiling the tail end on her scythe trailing the ground as she opened the door of the classroom and stepped inside. She looked at one of her teachers. She didn't know what Valas' thought of her as she tried to find a niche between a pure melee fighter and a pain inducing priest. She grinned seeing him standing there already inferring that he would be the dummy today. She didn't even know the names of her classmates after all this time. She looked at her teacher the shaft of her weapon clasped in her uncovered hand. She stood ready and at attention in front of him. She grinned at him "I am here and ready to begin sir"

-Epalm Phoenix-

Epalm waited patiently for a responce....that no one gave, however he was glad he stopped Helios in time, no need for everyone to be on edge. Epalm had mixed feelings about the whole ordeal. On the one hand, he was frustrated that they didn't trust the teachers yet, though they had good reason to after the whole incident, but the other thought made up for it. They knew, but they didn't want the other students to get into trouble, showing a sense of commradery. And almost if on cue, Phauran announced they'd be working on Fusion attacks. 'Guess I'm not the only one who's noticed. Better do as he says.' he thought as he turned towards Ichiro.

"Well you heard the headmaster, best be off to Ms. Klinesdale's class." he said to him with a smile. "And don't worry about this incident, everything will be fine." he said reassuringly to him, as he wandered out of the training room. As he passed by Casey he said: "You best be off to Mr. Lysander's class as well, he doesn't appriciate tardiness." and continued towards his classroom. Epalm arrived to find, well, no one. Bartuc of course was out cold, that new girl, Juniper, must be off at Valas's class today, and Vincent hadn't arrived yet. 'Either I'm going to have a day to look after a student, or Vincent's going to get a huge head start on both of them. Either way Bartuc won't be happy.' he thought to himself with a grin.

Jayde left for the cafeteria. He expected schools to have a lot of students, but this one's had a handful. He walked to the corridors, aiming mindlessly, and he enjoyed it.

Jayde passes by an intersection, and noticed someone entering a room, dragging along with her a scythe. Curious, he follows the lass to the room. He peered inside. Jayde saw the girl conversing to a teacher. This must be a classroom.

_________________

Feeling the air on the back of her neck, Elissa spun dropping to one knee and slicing upwards at the source of the air. Her sword barely missed, instead slicing through the shadows Valas had dissipated into. Her hair stood out blackened as did the side of her face. If anything had hit her, it most likely would have bounced harmlessly off her diamond like skin. Realizing it had been a test, she turned bowing to the other teachers then ran off to find Valas. As she searched to no avail, she heard Phauran's announcement. Bowing her head, she strode to the classroom she knew he would be in.

Walking briskly towards the classroom, she saw that creepy guy that had stood over her peering in at the doorway. Pushing past him into the classroom, she saw what he must have been looking at, Juniper. Elissa didn't know her well, but girls needed to stick together so she hoped they would become friends by the end of the year. "Good morning Hune-sensei and Juniper," she spoke to the two as she entered. "If I may ask a question before we begin, Hune-sensei, what is a fusion attack that Phauran-sama speaks of?"

_________________

-Valas Hune-

Smiling behind his leather mask he watched the scythe girl enter and greet him, he gave a small bow when he saw the ninja look in through the door and couldn't help but ponder why he was here. No matter of his as Elissa entered the room, she had gotten very close to cutting him before his shadow-meld had fully activated so he knew she was progressing quickly. He gave a bow to her aswell when she gave a greeting and crossed his arms as she asked a question. "Well my dear, fusion is when two different types of magic assimilate with another, the result is an attack far stronger than the original. Epalm and myself will be giving a display of both defensive fusion and offensive. For today however you will be focusing on offense."

He studied the two girls, both had an urge to cause pain and chaos, but one was capable of holy-fused attacks like he was so it would clash violently with the other girls demonic energy. He hoped the two could find common ground to accomplish the task. "To start off, I want you each to figure out what your basic spell-function is. Or to put it bluntly, an energy based attack you use often. We'll take it from there."

-Bartuc-

Pain was all he felt at this moment, pain and sadness. He wasn't sure why it was sadness, he had saved someone didn't he? He had been awoken by the announcement outside and knew if he missed classes Epalm would worry about falling behind. He coughed violently and brushed some blood from his lips and noticed his body seemed to be wrapped in bandages, some bloody some fine. With a grimace he slowly picked himself up off the bed and brushed off the medical team, a nuisance is all they were to him now. It took him a few minutes to dawn his armor save for the chest piece and helmet. "Troublesome..." He muttered as he gave thanks to Pyarados for his life saved this day, and prayed for his wounds to have a speedy recovery. He could feel the regenerative flames that coated his body already taking action at a heightened pace.

Walking slowly and steadily out of the hospital he stopped outside and leaned against the wall already breathing harder than before but he locked his jaw and his eyes took on the fire of determination they so often held and continued his walk to Epalms training area, he greeted him with a smile behind his red silk mask and as much of a bow as he could.

Helios Felis

Hearing the conversation between Elissa and Valas from his seat, Helios stood up and continued from where Valas left off and spoke to Elissa, "Which means we 'fuse' our elements together to gain a new one, correct?".

Turning to Valas, Helios walked up to him and spoke, "Hune-sensei, if you would permit, could I try and partner with Ellisa-san to test one out after you finish?".

Jayde raised his hand at the teacher in the classroom. He steps inside the classroom. At the corner his eye, he spotted someone passing by him. He stopped, letting the person inside first. He recognized the girl stepping inside.

It's the grouchy girl again, he thought.

Jayde entered the classroom. He breathed in, and poised himself to act polite. "Hi, I'm new here, sir, so I don't know much this place. I was wondering what are you teaching right now?"

_________________

-Valas- (keepin it short)

"Advanced swordplay, and as of today, fusion attacks. Both magical and Physical."

"But when one of it's baby chicks is in trouble, Momma comes a run'nin' and a squawkin and a run'nin''." -General Treistar

Jayde nodded, looking intersted. "Can I join in?"

_________________

Realizing that Valas may have not noticed Helios' question, the cat-boy tried asking the teacher his question again, "Hune-sensei, about my question... eh he he". It seemed really awkward since Helios had already been in the classes for three months already. Then, he noticed something weird from what Valas had said, "Wait, so we're going to learn fusion attacks and advanced swordplay?"

~~Juniper~~
She thought for a while standing there and then she grinned a glowing red symbol of bane appearing in front of her. It paused for a few seconds before blasting forward the energy of her pain and suffering shooting forward. She had been trying to develop the technique as a sort of counter. That the rune would absorb the damage and then reflect it back but she had little success with that. She turned to Elissa smiling she wanted to get to know the girl better, but she didn't know how. She had been so used to elderly sadistic and masochistic priests for so long her social skills were rather lacking. "Now what sir?" She said with a grin. She let her scythe hang low as she glanced over at the two boys wondering what they would be able to accomplish.

Helios Felis

"Whoa!", Helios exclaimed when he barely dodged the energy blast from Juniper. "Watch where you're aiming that thing!", he said with caution in a quickly set-up defensive stance.

Without notice, Helios had already summoned his electrical katana with his fingers, glowing brilliantly in blue and full of magical energy. "If you didn't know, electricity's become my forte since school started. Although that doesn't mean I can't use other elements, of course".

Casey- Already?

Casey nodded in response to Epalm, heeding his advice. She ran to Lysander's classroom, relieved nothing serious had happened. I wonder if Ichiro's fine, she wondered.

Galaxy- I'M LATE I'M LATE I'M LATE!!

"'Kay," Galaxy said to Melanie, becoming again her usual cheery self. "See ya!" She waved. Overhearing Epalm's statement to Casey, she almost shrieked. She was late! She was late! She was late! In a instance Galaxy teleported to the door of Valas' classroom. Since Ms. Omnos had died, Galaxy had had to choose another teacher.

"Hey," Galaxy said, opening the door. "Sorry I'm late!" She chuckled nervously. "We're doing fusion attacks right?"

_________________
Meh. If I had a good avatar, this would be worth it.

"Energy based attack...." She looked blankly at Valas. Shaking her head as Juniper shot off a blast. She realized what Valas meant. "Um.. Hune-sensei, I don't have one of those. These gloves emit an electrical charge, but it is too weak to actually deal damage...."
Then a thought hit her. Drawing her blade, she held the pad of the glove to the blade. 30 seconds later, electricity could be seen dancing upon it. Looking at Valas she said, "May I test this on you Hune-sensei?"

_________________

Ichiro Bendoit

Ichiro watched as everyone filed out. And as the announcement came on the realization hit him. He was going to be late. Ichiro started to run through the halls, looking for anyone else he might run into. Ichiro took a deep breath, focusing on his running. He slid around a corner, sliding a bit. He kept running, making it to the classroom. He looked around a bit and leaned against the wall just inside the door to the left, breathing heavily. Ichiro looked around a bit as he felt a strange tingle at the back of his mind. His breathing slowed to normal and he took a seat.

Lysander Von Kringst

Lysander strolled back to his class, watching with a grin as his own students ran past him. Lysander hummed casually, watching as subtle effects followed him. A light scent of roses and violets hung in the air as he walked, and the light turned to a light pink directly behind him.
Lysander entered the classroom and clapped "Alright. Today is the day we bring forth the powers of teamwork and friendship. There are three instruments here." Lysander motioned to a guitar, a piano, and a violin. "Two are offensive, two are defensive. Meaning one is a multi-purpose instrument. Which would work together well in a combo attack, or a fusion?" Lysander tapped his foot, making a beat. He grinned a bit and hummed the theme to Jeopardy "Anyone?"

Jayde grinned at the scythe girl's, impressed by her display of power.

"I'm liking this class already," he said. The students here weren't ordinary at all. Seeing the firework the girl just shown, what he expected in this school got thrown away. Shwann should have warned him about this. He thought he'd just read mangas the whole school year.
