Noticing Toaster's miniature heart attack-or whatever you wanted to call it-Yui took the time to retrieve the now cooked and well done doughnut before taking a small bite out of the side. Crunchy...but still sweet. She continued to munch on the thing much like she had done at the opening ceremony as she witnessed three more individuals enter her office in the span of only a few seconds. She gave a nod of greeting to Tai Yang and Val but paused at Melanie. A student? Yui narrowed her gaze. A different student. Different....was that the right word for it? No...it felt familar....could it perhaps be...? Anything was possible in this World, and even Yui's suspicions made sense in these appropriate circumstances. For now though, she chose to let it be without notice. She would investigate and later verify her theory on the young dragon girl later in private. "I believe it is time to begin then." She handed a blue cupcake to Val and Tai before taking the box of doughnuts Aram had conjured up and placing them in her drawer for later consumption. "Thank you Pollux-san," she said stoically before turning to the only dragon in her room. "Considering your presence here, I will allow you to stay and listen only this once, Orochi-san." She focused on Melanie for a second longer before turning away. "Please remember that this is a staff meeting, and that all students should be in their dorms. Especially when we were just attacked." Crossing her hands and leaning forward in her seat, Yui looked at each and every one of her staff. Where exactly were her other two Vice Principals? They especially should have been at this meeting? Shrugging, she decided she would just have Toaster fill them in on the details. They had wasted enough time already. "And that leads us to our next piece of discussion. The issue of Dios. Having known him the longest, I can safely say that his boasts are questionable at the most, and that this "army" of his is still to be held in speculation. Regardless, I want classes to become more focused this year and for all staff to be on their guard. As Dios so aptly put it, we are at war here with an unknown enemy. It would be best to keep things under at least a grasp within our control." The Headmistress frowned. "Dios is no ordinary dragon. Rather, he is a Dragon God, specifically the Heavenly Dragon of the Sky Loft. This means he has control over the five basic elements of fire, earth, wind, water, and ice. As you all witnessed shortly before, he also possesses the power to combine said abilities." Her frown deepened. "Make no mistake. Despite his habit of over exaggerating, Dios is a deadly foe. Please keep this in mind when defending this Academy. Is that understood?" After waiting a few seconds, Yui visibly relaxed and a small smile replaced the frown on her face. "Good. Now that we're finished with all this exposition, let's move on to something more uplifting. Classes should begin at their expected time intervals tomorrow as usual. I would also like to remind you that the Academy's annual "Welcome Dance and Ball" will be held this Friday evening. Anyone that would like to assist in chaperoning may consult either me or..." She glanced at the still comatose toaster. "....probably just me. I expect to see both student and staff enjoy themselves. Perhaps even a bit more than that..." The Headmistess stole a coy smirk at Aram, Key, and Val. No doubt some...interesting thoughts were running in the Esper's mind. Too bad [i]they[/i] couldn't read it. "On one final note, I'd like to remind everyone that we have our annual Health Inspection tomorrow, courtesy of Daichi Kuroki." A cold chill suddenly and violently swept through the room dramatically. The mere mention of the immortal Health Inspector was enough to bring shivers down anyone's spine. Especially if they held a teaching position....sighing, Yui mentally closed the window that let in the unwelcome draft, apparently unfazed. "Please...don't do anything that could get us closed down." Again, she looked at Toaster. "Now then. Are there any questions? If not, then I bid you all a peaceful evening."
