[center][i]Hikari Ryodan Academy[/i][/center] [center]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/center] [center][i]Day 1: Dragons and Doughnuts[/center][/i] --- The early morning sun shined brightly today, its light passing through the high windows of the auditorium and bathing its occupants in a warm glow. Today marked a brand new semester, a glorious new school year for Hikari. New faces and old allies came together on this first day to celebrate the unity between the supernatural and the human World. Walking though the crowd, Headmistess Yui Momoko glanced at different directions occasionally to get a feel of this new class. As an Esper, she could easily read each of their minds and tell exactly how they were feeling about the excitement. Most were nervous, some more so than others. Some had fiery passion in their hearts and a willingness to learn. To be taught and trained in the ways of the Dawn Slayer. And still there were some who gave her strange looks, wondering what a kid was doing here and not realizing her full status. And who could blame them? No new student could ever guess that their Headmistress looked just short of a teenager. This earned a mental smile from Yui. This would be a [i]very[/i] fun year. The constant and mindless chatter gradually began to die down and quite a few heads were turned as they saw Yui walk up to the center podium and grab the microphone. One student gasped out, "So it's true! She is super young!", only to be shushed by a senior student. Tapping the device, Yui spoke calm and clearly into the microphone. "Greetings. Welcome new and old to the beginning of another innovative year here at Hikari Ryodan Academy. I am your current and residing Headmistess, Yui Momoko." A round of applause followed that statement. "You are here today because you seek purpose in your life," Yui continued. "A purpose that will benefit the balance of our World and bring harmony to all. Your new purpose...as a Dawn Slayer."

Yui had produced a fresh chocolate doughnut from our of nowhere and was now munching into the sweet thing. How she was able to slip such a thing past everyone's suspicions was...well, beyond anyone. "But let us skip the formalities for now." [b]Crunch.[/b] "Today is a free day for all the students here. A day where you can explore the campus and the like." [b]Crunch[/b] "Please feel free to direct any and all questions you may have to either myself or your teachers." [b]Crunch, munch, crunch.[/b] By now Yui was done with the doughnut as she began to sense the positive energy radiating from the crowd before her. A small smile graced her lips. This method always worked in pumping up a fresh new class for the beginning of the school year. "Please keep in mind though that classes will begin immediately tomorrow morning at their regularly scheduled time frame. But until then, please enjoy your stay here as you embrace you new life." The smile widened. "With that said...welcome one and all to Hikari Ryodan Academy!" A thunderous applause accompanied her finishing lines.
