Everyone seemed less excited now to go on a mission now, knowing it could mean that they were to be kicked out of the course. Still though, it was a coin flip on whether or not they were picked because they were doing good or because they were doing so horribly bad that their professor wanted to kick them out of the class via a dangerous mission. The coin could fall on it's side as well, in which those with the most flexible powers would be chosen and given a chance to prove themselves. The pros outweighed the cons though none had factored in that the mission could probably be dangerous, perhaps even life threatening if something went wrong.

 Young naive bunch they were, luckily Chime was too busy being pampered by Sterling's hand to berate them. The lil rat caught his thumb again and began to nibble on it. Teeth as sharp as a hamster, and a whole lotta attitude packed into that tiny body. 

 As the siren screamed out loudly, everyone but Dante stood. Hands over his ears, he took a deep breath before he attempted to stand. He would have fallen back down had Sterling not shoved him forward into the portal. His ears ringing long after the siren had stopped, head pounding painfully, the nausea didn't help in the slightest. Suddenly, he was glad he hadn't eaten lunch yet or else he would risk throwing up a puddle of sickly red right infront of everyone. Stumbling, he found support in Danny who glanced over at him worriedly, but didn't say anything as he let the older cling onto him. Arms shaking, pale as death though that was probably a norm for him now. 

 Chime peeked out of Sterling's shirt, snickering at the rather pale faced students. All experiencing their own forms of nausea. The twins holding on tightly to each other, while the boys attempted to appear unfazed by the trip though they were obviously swaying slightly on their feet. Helixio frowning at the mention of a fight. That couldn't be fair, they had just gotten here. They hadn't even had their first lesson and they were expected to go up against more experienced classes? Still, he wouldn't say no if he was chosen to fight, he wasn't gonna back down for anything. He was gonna show everyone just how strong he was. 

 Animal-communications magick had always been belittled. It wasn't want to be offensive nor was it meant to be showy or over exaggerated. Most mages became guardians of the forest with that sort of magick. Animal sanctuary or gardener wasn't exactly in his top list of dream jobs. He was all too ready to stand up when the referee called for Sterling to send up one of his students. Though he probably was a lil unstable on his feet, oh god when would the nausea pass? Shouldn't their teacher already be experienced enough to cancel out the side effects? How were they meant to fight anything, let alone stand up straight like this? 

 Luckily, they found themselves once more in the empty confusing hallways before they could even blink. The world suddenly having stopped spinning around them, the ground actually stable under their feet. Many that had felt the bile rising up in their throat suddenly disappear. 

 "Wah! Mr Chartarum, I can't believe you did that for us!" The twins piped up, eyes shining up at their professor. Looks like Sterling had already gained two admirers. Helicopter mumbled his thanks, unsure whether to be relieved or disappointed that they hadn't gotten to fight. Danny opened his mouth to say anything until he noticed that Dante was still clinging onto him tightly. Man, the boy had a strong grip, but that was expected from the older. He didn't mind that he could do blood magick. It was just as scary as ghost magick, though more people seemed to be afraid of it because of how volatile it was and how much it depended on others. The boy seemed as pale as a ghost now in fact, though Danny knew he was far from death, having long passed it. 

 Both boys looked up when Dante's name was called and Dante had no time to thank the boy, his first friend? Luckily, the trip this time wasn't as painful and headache inducing this time round. The ringing starting to slowly fade, he stumbled from Sterling's grasp to collapse onto the couch until the world decided to stop spinning.

 "I don't see it." The twins interjected while Danny just shrugged. "Lots of people look similar," 

 "No way, he doesn't look anything like Mr Chartarum! He's barely half the man of what Mr Chartarum is!" The twins argued back and Helixio just rolled his eyes, trying to seem cool until a paw pawed over his head and Chime clung onto his head making the boy jump and shout. Earning a light slap from the familiar, "Alright lame brains! Time to get things straight! We want no nonsense from any of you! Mr Chartarum is not above losing any unruly students! And I'm sure your parents wouldn't mind either!" The familiar hid his grin as several students paled at his words. Hey, if Sterling was gonna leave him alone with the students, he might as well have some fun, "Now, let me tell you about not where to go, we wouldn't want anyone stumbling upon something they shouldn't see."

 Dante stared up at his brother, then patted the seat next to him, "Sit down, you look ridiculous trying to play teacher." He murmured though he had to admit, Sterling looked like he had been doing this kind of stuff for years. He looked so different...he even smelled different. Then again, everyone smelled different now, like...packaged food or canned containers just waiting to be opened. Nobody could tell him what to do with this..feeling. It was like puberty, it always felt like you were the only one suffering and really he was the only one caught in this mess. Closing his eyes, he sighed. Mother and father had packed several vials of...liquid to sustain him, obtained from a local hospital with little question. He hadn't touched any of then yet.

 "Why else? Mom and dad needed someone to look after you." He opened his eyes and grinned at his brother, then quickly stopped smiling in fear Sterling would see his fangs. "Anyway....I did miss ya."
