[i][color=ed1c24]"With that said, Let's see what you guys have to offer. The headmaster says that all of you have the potential to be great, but I've yet to be convinced. Show me that you belong here; there are no rules, I don't care how you do it. Remember, those who don't make the cut, are out of here."[/color][/i]

At least, that was the plan, until the crowd of novice magic-users exploded into chaos. It caught Alex off guard because he was not a fan of pandemonium. Varus's said to [i]impress him[/i] not make him laugh. Jumping straight into action was naive and based on the results of the first "attack," quite ineffective. Alex decided to stay back and watch for an opening. He was a close-ranged fighter, so he'd have to get close to Varus somehow. That was his intentions, the best way to get the instructor's attention was to get up in his face and [i]show[/i] the man that he belonged at this Academy. 

Sadly, life wasn't that easy and liked to throw shit in his way. On top of students randomly breaking out and fighting each other, one special fucking sunflower decided that releasing a cloud of black fog that encompassed the whole training field would be a bright fucking idea. How was he going to get to Varus if he couldn't even see two feet in front of him? 

Alex decided he would just have to use his resources to find Varus, he wasn't going to let his hampered vision be the reason why he didn't get accepted into Four Winds. Using his sense of hearing, Alex did his best to follow the sound of voices. If someone could see through the fog, they would notice that Alex's dominant arm (his left one) had turned into a shining silver color. The skin under his shirt was steel as well. He kept his chest and torso steel because it was the largest part of him that could be damaged, and danger could come from any direction in this damned fog. 

Loud noises and dim light shined off to his left. As he got closer he noticed it was the brute and the kid he had fought with earlier on in the introduction of Four Winds. Alex kept silent, making sure to stay out of their way, he was aiming for Varus, not a fight with an arrogant prick. In the back of his mind he noted that he had been overwhelmingly calm while close to them. To the point where it was unnatural, his guess was that one of them was enchanted with some sort of aura that controls emotions. It was a shot in the dark, but the further he got from them, the more his normal emotions started coming back. 

Finally he found the person he was looking for. Earlier he had observed a girl use some sort of teleportation magic. A power like that could be very useful in this situation.

 [color=00746b]"Need some help?"[/color] Whether or not she accepted it, Alex would push on and introduce himself. [color=00746b]"I'm Alex by the way, and you are?"[/color] 
He wouldn't ask for her help immediately, he didn't want to sound selfish. Plus, he needed all the friends he could get. So instead of saying anything else he just offered her a small but genuine smile.
