[url=http://youtu.be/xGLizMZmA5c]Ironing out the Kinks:[/URL] The vice headmistress stretched her free arm behind her back, waiting until she felt the appealing feeling of the [i]pop[/i]. [b]”So, why are we doing these errands? Shouldn’t we be back in the office, filling out some papers?”[/b] She asked as she craned her neck towards the cane she supported herself with. Though she wasn’t physically impaired by the slightest, she had gotten used to walking with the supportive tool. To the point where she finds it uncomfortable to walk on her own two legs. [b][u]”You know as well as I do that ‘filling out papers’ is codeword for ‘making some sweet lo-’[/u][/b] The woman clicked her tongue and tossed the cane upwards. Once gravity played its role, she caught the grey utility around its bottom. Facing the curve towards the snow, she shoved it and the gem into the freezing substance. She ruthlessly ignored the muffled cries as she dragged the cane through the snow white fluff, [b]”I’ll give you some breathing room once we get there.”[/b] She notified her partner as the proceeded to their destination. When they arrived at the scene, there were already multiple students shooting stares at the duo of fighters. Students in arms, as they would be dubbed. The vice headmistress raised the gem out of the snow, followed by an over-dramatic gasp for useless air, [b][u]”I thought I was going to freeze to death! Even though I can’t feel, I still thought I would! I’m gonna have a cold now. Eh, screw it, I’ll just call for a random chef to bring up a cup of hot cocoa, after this is dealt with. Speaking of to-be underpaid swines…"[/u][/b] The headmaster trailed off, fixating himself towards the students deep in combat. [b][i]"JoJo! You're just in time. I was looking for a pussy to pound.”[/i][/b] The VHM got into a combat stance, ready to intervene before things got hairy. [b][u]”WAIT… I want to see how original these kids are. I mean, if they come up with some good material, I won’t totally annihilate their souls.”[/u][/b] The assistant rolled her eyes, flipping back a portion of her hair as they watched from the sidelines. [b][i]“Still as cocky as always… This time you don’t have the element of surprise, Freakshow.”[/i][/b] [b][u]"Freakshow? Seriously? You’re fighting a student in the same grade, and that’s the best you can come up with to justify yourself? She’s a damn dragon! Call her something elaborate, like… scaley-face, or taco-breath… gecko-girl, jeeze, I don’t know.”[/u][/b] The elder had to stop himself from breaking into a rant about Joseph’s horrible excuse for verbal abuse. [b]”Hey, look at his stance, you don’t think…?”[/b] Already seeing the tact before it was employed, the two watched as Joseph suddenly went on the offensive, a style he did no frequent. Dagny, without enough time to react, was planted straight in the face by the fist. [b][u]”Oh. Shit. He just punched her. Alright, let’s see how Dagny reacts, then we can intervene.”[/u][/b] After a short recovery, the dragon-girl balled her first and went for a lower attack. [b][u]”Well, I’m not to fond of carrying Joseph’s arse to the infirmary. And by me, I mean you of course, dearest. Let’s step in already.”[/u][/b] The woman nodded, with a somewhat irritated look at her partner’s sly comment. The two sprung into action, leaping forward while readying the cane. [b][u]”OI! [i]IKEA - Dragon Collection[/i] and [i]Western-Coast-No-More[/i], if a feline is to be pounded, it is that of my wi-”[/u][/b] Rather than tapping the students with the flattened side of the cane, the VHM instead faced the gem inwards, lightly striking the students with the embodiment of the headmaster. Though it was only the tip of the cane, and now the face of the gem, coming in contact with the students- they were propelled back a meter and a half. [b]”Ms. Ek and and Mr. Conrad, please refrain from brawling unofficially, or face reprimanding.”[/b] She stared daggers at both of them, keeping their distance in mind. They were both experienced fighters, and easily brushed off the mere blows. [b][u]”WOMAN! YOU JUST SLAMMED ME INTO THEIR STOMACHS. I DON’T WANT FLESHBAG OILS ON ME. S-s-s-orry. My mother’s influence was showing a bit. Damn, even after reincarnation, does she still haunt me.”[/u][/b] He sighed, causing the gem to dim the brighten up again, [b][u]”It’s getting a bit late, how about we call it off for a day? Subject to my ruling, and I’ll dorm you both together. Even after you graduate, I will force you two to be forever intertwined in eachother’s daily lives. Also, you nearly made a student shard himself. At least, that’s what the complaint said, right hun?”[/u][/b] The woman replied with a quick nod, followed by a hand straightening her hair. [b][u]”Oh. This year, you both better be to homeroom on time. Otherwise you get to sleep in the orcs’ new fort.”[/u][/b] With that last remark, the vice headmistress bowed, [b]”Have a good day.”[/b] They then walked off. [b][u]”So… Shall we get to filling out those documents, if you know what I mean- I’M SORRY DON’T-”[/u][/b] Before the gem could plead for his existence, the cane had already been flung off far ahead.

As the girl found refuge in its unique flavor, in turn the boy smiled, knowing full well his efforts weren’t in vain. After only one sip did she start to look around, in a similar manner as Varren earlier, during his time alone at the table. She quickly returned her attention to her [i]friend[/i], or at least the boy presumed for them to be on such terms, and perked up as she raised her eyes to face him. [b]"Um... do you know who any of the other first years are?"[/b] The boy leaned forward and reached for his coffee cup, finding solace in its bitter taste. It only took him a few seconds to come up with a response. [b][i]”No, sorry, can’t say I do. I’m not too… outgoing of a person. Along with that, I’ve been split between conversing with my father, looking over diagrams, critiquing projects. A plethora of stuff to really just kill the time, which I don’t have the slightest idea of how to fill. Being the heir to a weapons manufacturing corporation isn’t cut out for what it’s supposed to be.”[/i][/b] Thinking back to the two physically augmented humans from earlier, who also appeared to be new at the academy, [i]”Well, I don’t know [b]who[/b] they are, but I might know [b]what[/b] are.”[/i] He thought to himself as he glanced back down at his company. He made a slight shrug with his shoulders before placing his lips around the rim of the cup again. [b][i]”Oh, I have to pick out my room soon! Gotta get set up and everything~! Have to install the coffee machine, the workspace, the ammunition storage.”[/i][/b] The boy quickly returned to his exuberant way of speaking, as if the stern personality never existed. Yinyues was still unable to tell what species Lilith was. Though he could think of ways to ease the conversation in that direction, he felt like it was imposing on one’s privacy. [b][i]”Getting kind of late out…[/i][/b] The boy commented as he glanced out the window. Since it was winter, the majority of the sun had already sunk behind the horizon. Soon the temperature would drop, making it unbearably cold for any attendee left outside. [b][i]”Gah… It’s gonna be so fweeeeezing.”[/i][/b] He complained, holding his hands onto his arms.
