[b]Sekhemi[/b] Sekhemi no longer felt the feeling of cold metal against his chest. Then he noticed lighter than normal. He flexed his fists slowly and reached up to his necklace, and what a surprise. It was gone. He closed his fist once more and turned to where Alex used to be standing. Her, it had to be [i]her![/i] He looked around, wondering where she was, but since he couldn't see her, his guess would be at the Grand Hall. Sekhemi ignored Arken's words, at the moment, he had other things on his mind which were far more important. He immediately ran up the stairs, barging past everyone. Once he got in the Grand Hall, he looked around for Alex. When he saw her, he rushed over to her and shouted at the top of his voice as he did, Sabertooth stood beside him giving out a loud roar. "You dirty, no good thief! How dare you steal from me! Give me back my weapons and necklace now!" He clenched his fist, staring straight at Alex, waiting for her to give him back his stuff. Although, not knowing it wasn't her who took it. [b]Kuro[/b] Kuro was glad the battle had ended, and that Arken had come but he still didn't like the fact that a heartless was joining the academy. He sighed, and was about to walk up when Charlotte walked past him. Now, normally he wouldn't of cared and would of continued on walking. However, something was different. You see, he had enchanted the bag of runes and artefacts so he always knew where they were. After all, he used them a lot in battle. That bag was attached to his trousers. Now, they weren't. He closed his eyes for a moment, focusing on the enchanted bag. After a few seconds went by, he pinpointed the exact location. He opened his eyes and looked to the stairs to see Charlotte making her way up. Then, he gave a simple nod. "Let's go Yoruichi." She gave a nod to him and she followed him up the stairs. It didn't take him long to reach the Grand Hall. Once he did he walked straight up to Charlotte and gave her a smile. "Hey there. I noticed you took my bag of runes and artefacts. Honestly, I would of given you to them if you asked. I can make more, but they are useless unless you know some sort of magic to use them. Well, you could sell them too, but if it's money you want, then..." He reached for his wallet but stopped when he couldn't feel it. He gave a soft laugh, and as he did his ears flickered softly. He looked back to her and shook his head softly. "It seems you've taken that too. Well you can keep it anyway. All my money is in the Neko Kingdom anyway, I can just summon more when I need it. Have a nice day, oh, but be careful who you steal from. Some students aren't as kind or as generous as I am." He gave her a bow and with that he walked away and sat down. Yoruichi stared at her for some time, then looked to Kuro for a moment. She turned to Charlotte once more before speaking. "You better be thankful he his a neko, otherwise he wouldn't be so peaceful." With that she walked over to Kuro and sat by his side. [b]Shela[/b] Shela waited for what felt like hours. She waited, and she waited, but nothing happened. Until eventually, everything was back to normal. She looked around and then saw Arken. He must of been the headmaster everyone was waiting for. After he said his words, she looked to the floor. She found it hard to believe that she had potential here. Then, Rose grabbed her hand and she looked up to her quickly. She gave a small nod and looked towards the stairs. "I am sorry you have to be with me. I didn't want to burden anyone, but no matter what I did, I would always be a burden to someone." Drake sighed, not saying anything. Instead he followed the two to the stairs and in the Grand Hall. Once they had both sat down Drake jumped up on Shela's shoulder before whispering in her ear. "You will always been a burden unless you actually become strong! Stop wishing for it to happen, and actually make it happen!" He shook his head, before looking at the front to wait for everyone else to arrive. [b]Miarikia[/b] Miarikia sighed softly, the battle was finally over. She looked other to Arken and nodded at the praise. It was the right thing to do. She then looked to Rika, Shade and then finally to Kuro. She had seen some impressive power from all three. Especially Kuro. She smiled, deciding to write down what she had seen in her Grimoire so she could hopefully learn how to cast such spells in the future. She went to grab it, however, it wasn't where it was supposed to be. She clenched her fist quickly before looking to Flash. "Flash, run as fast as you possibly can, check every pocket, every bag, check absolutely everything, and see if you can find my Grimoire." Flash smiled and gave a soft nod. He knew just how important that was to her. So, he disappeared in a flash. He checked everyone's pockets and bags so fast, they wouldn't even feel or see anything except a flash of lightning zooming past them. After a minute, Flash came back. Flash then explained what he knew. "I checked every pocket, and every bag. I didn't find your Grimoire but I'm pretty positive I know who took it. Follow me." Miarikia then sat on Flash and held on, in which he zoomed off the the Grand Hall. Once there, Miarikia got off and Flash nodded towards Charlotte. "There, I checked everything, but I couldn't get in that bag. She's got her hand on it, and I didn't want to alert her." Miarikia stared at Charlotte for some time before holding her hand out to her Grimoire. She closed her eyes softly and waited. Suddenly, the Grimoire glowed black and Miarikia could see it in her mind. She opened her eyes and gave a simple nod. She held out her hand and she called out quietly. "Grimoire, return to me." Suddenly, it appeared in her hand. With her Grimoire at the ready, she walked up to Charlotte. "Do not take my Grimoire again! You do not realise how important that is! By taking it, you are putting yourself and every student in danger. Next time, I won't be so kind." She walked away, and as she did she pulled out her Grimoire. "Azarath metrion zinthos!" As she shouted the spell, the Grimoire became encased with black magic. After that, she threw it in the air, and it disappeared into thin air. Satisfied, Miarikia sat herself down with Flash. [b]Red[/b] Red watched how the battle ended when Arken appeared. She listened to what he had to say and nodded to him. It was true, she knew her weakness, but that was the thing. It wasn't easy fixing it. She needed to learn how, and so far nobody had told her how. She hoped, soon enough she would be able to learn how to do that. She walked up the stairs and entered the Grand Hall. She sat down in the chair and waited for everyone else to arrive with Serpent by her side. [b]Pozuzy[/b] Pozuzy looked over to Sabrina and gave a soft nod of his head before looking over to Arken. He stared at him for some time, before looking back at Sabrina with a small smile. "You're welcome." It was strange to be asked such a question but he had no reason to decline. After Sabrina left, he flew to the academy and entered the Grand Hall. He looked around and flew to the corner. For now, he waited for everyone else to arrive. [b]Shade[/b] Shade listened to Arken and he gave a small smile. He hadn't expected to hear Arken to say such things. Everyone he met called him a monster, but Arken said otherwise. He expected to meet more people like Kuro, but perhaps not. Maybe this school wouldn't be so bad after all. He looked to the stairs and slowly walked over to them and began to walk up. Once at the Grand Hall, he went in a corner on his own and waited for now. [b]Foxy[/b] Foxy smiled at Arken's words, she agreed that even if somebody looks like a monster, they may not be a monster themselves. After all, Rika was just a boy, and he became a demon. It wasn't his fault, he didn't know how to control it, well this was what the Academy was for. Foxy flew up to the academy and then sat on the floor in the Grand Hall waiting for everyone else. [b]Sky[/b] Sky was already in the Grand Hall. Arken had come to him and explained that he already knew what was going on. He was looking forward to the explanation. Now, he sat in the grand hall waiting for everyone to arrive and for Arken to finally start. He knew it wouldn't be long now, especially since Arken was going to go down and handle things. [b]Arken[/b] Arken immediately knew that Charlotte stole his green pendent. The moment she placed it in her bag, he clicked his fingers and it returned to him. It was important to him. It timed his power by ten fold! He was powerful without it, but with it, his power was limitless. He walked up and entered the Grand Hall. He watched all the students, missing absolutely nothing with his eyes. He looked over to Sekhemi and let out a sigh. He had no time for another fight. He wanted to get things started. He walked over to Sekhemi and held out his hand. As he did, the Golden Knuckles appeared in his hand, as well as the necklace on his finger. "Here, next time, be more careful of your belongings. Now sit down!" He watched Sekhemi sit down angrily before staring at Charlotte then he stood at the front of the Grand Hall. Once everyone had arrived, he smiled gently looking to everyone. There were so many different creatures here, he couldn't wait to see what they were all capable of. It was time to decide on rooms, but in order to do that he needed to know who would work best with who. He had a few pairings in mind straight away, but he wanted to know more. What he was looking at was who had similar powers, who could support and help one another as well as ideals and possible teams. It was time for the first training lesson the year. He clicked his fingers and a microphone appeared on a stand in front of him. "Morning everyone. I welcome you all to the Ordinary Mythical Academy. I accepted you all for a reason, I chose you all for a reason. Ever since you showed a glimmer of potential, I have had my eye on you. I've known some of you since you were a child. Some of you are dark aligned, while some or more holy and peaceful. Others prefer or are forced to stay in the middle. Our alignment is either choice or forced but no matter what you may be, I hope to train you all and teach you how to master your powers and while you're here, I hope you will come to trust your fellow students, as well come to understand why I chose each and every one of you specificly. Of course, there are a few rules I must address first thing. One: Never, under no circumstances, must you go near the abandoned building! If you are caught outside campus and near the building, you shall be sent off the island immediately without warning! That building is far too dangerous, yes, even for you Alex. I will be watching. There is a reason that building is sealed. It is extremely dangerous and I take the safety of my students into account. If I believe for a single moment, that the safety of my students is being threatened then I will solve that problem immediately. Two: You must be at class on time, if not you will get a warning, three warnings until you are punished, though you shall not be taken off the island. If it carries on, then you will be excluded. However, for the first few days, the schedule will be off and even after I will allow time for you to learn your time table. Three: Do not use your powers outside of the training room, and do not fight other students unless a staff member is supervising. The reason for this is obvious, the training room is built specificly to suppress somebody's power if they lose control, however sometimes that is not enough. Some of you can be unpredictable and extremely dangerous if one loses control. If this happens and nobody is in the training room then somebody could easily die and I won't always be around to help you. Of course, be reasonable. If you do have to defend yourself, and have no other choice, then by all means, do so and try to hold off until help arrives just make sure you do not kill another student. Four: No vandalism. Please make sure this academy stays clean and tidy as well as the island. There are many mythical creatures resident on this island, I do not want them being hurt. Six: You may leave the campus and explore the island however I will expect you back before midnight. The island can be dangerous so please go in groups if you plan on exploring. If you are attacked then please do not kill the attacker. Instead bind it or suppress it until help arrives. Last but not least, what I say goes at all times without question. I have my reasons for my orders. I know every one of you, what I do is for the best intentions of my students. With all that addressed, it is now time for our first lesson. I want to know more about you, I want to know how you act in front of your fellow students as well as what you can do. I want to know how you think. We will all head to the training room where you shall demonstrate your power. I shall note down everything you do and how you do it as well as your general strategy and thoughts. Do not fear, there is no wrong answer no matter what you may do." With that, he clicked his fingers and everyone was in a huge white room. There was nothing in it, just a large empty room. Arkan spoke up once again, talking to everyone as he did. "Now then, let me demonstrate how this works. The training room is designed to fit your perfect room. Whatever you imagine, will become reality however nothing can leave this room if it does it is destroyed instantly. Now, if you were training together the room would combine both of your imaginations together for the perfect training exercise. Another thing, in this room you have literal infinite energy. You could train here for 14 days straight and still feel like you just gotten out of bed however, it cannot provide the simulation of food so you would be very hungry. Let me demonstrate now." Arkan stepped up in the middle of the training room and as he did, the entire room began to change around him. Even the air, the feel, the sound and literally everything changed to become as real as possible. Everyone would be able to see safe zone from the room. [img]http://pre12.deviantart.net/388c/th/pre/f/2010/157/7/0/graveyard_by_thelastsamu.jpg[/img] He walked to the front again and spoke up. "So, like I said, here imagination is everything. Now, there are two ways to return the room to normal. One, outright leave the room, or two shout the word 'Execute.' Now, without any further ado, please come up one by one. State your name for your fellow students and a bit about yourself that you feel comfortable with sharing such as your goals in life. Finally show me whatever you wish to show. Do whatever you want to do however, it shall be recorded and noted down for later use by myself, and if anyone else wishes, they can do the same." With that all said, he walked over to the safe zone. The room returned to it's normal boring white self. Arkan then stood back and watched all the students carefully to see how each and every one of them would react and do. [b]Fianciona[/b] Just then, Fianciona appeared in the center of the room. She gave a small to everyone and looked to Arken. Then, she looked at each student, giving slight nods as she did while she made mental notes in her head. After looking at each and every student, she gave another small smile. "Hello everyone. My name is Fianciona, and I shall also be watching you, but please, do me a favour and make it interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can all do." She smiled, and stepped in the safe zone. She then clicked her fingers and an extra chair appeared. She sat herself down and waited for the first student to step up and show what they could do.
