There were about fifty of them at the max, and all of them crowded the center of the auditorium, with some at the front and some at the back. Teachers and staff were standing at the sidelines, looking over the children and talking with each other for the time being. Once everyone was accounted for, and the doors were closed, it took another few minutes before things actually went underway. The lights dimmed down a little bit, and the stage was lit up. Appearing from behind the curtains was a man dressed in a full suit, a man with long black straggly hair, a man that appeared almost like a vampire, but even though he looked strange, he had an incredibly wise, understanding and friendly vibe to him. He slowly stepped up to the podium, his dress shoes clacking against the hardwood floor. [b][color=39b54a]"Hello students."[/color][/b] He spoke in a strange, broken accent. His voice was light, and his accent was strange, almost unplacable. [color=39b54a][b]"Welcome to the Powerbound Academy."[/b][/color] His tones were a little messed up, but his diction was precise. While a few kids held back laughter out of respect, a few let out a giggle. [color=39b54a][b]"I am Headmaster Udina, and I know my voice and my accent sounds funny..."[/b][/color] He looked to the giggling students. [color=39b54a][b]"..but I appreciate your respect nonetheless."[/b][/color] The Headmaster continued speaking. [color=39b54a][b]"This is the orientation course that every first year student goes through. We will be going over what we are about, where what is, and why you are here."[/b][/color] He explained. [color=39b54a][b]"After the orientation is over, all of you will follow Miss McDowell outside to the gymnasium, where you will introduce yourselves, as well as your abilities. After that, you will be taking a placement test so we can assign the right classes to you."[/b][/color] The Headmaster looked across the room to all students. [color=39b54a][b]"Is that clear?"[/b][/color] Most of the students gave an affirmative reply, to which the Headmaster smiled. [color=39b54a][b]"Okay, good."[/b][/color] The Headmaster gave a nod and a smile to the woman in the blue professional attire, smiling to her before looking to the students. [color=39b54a][b]"I would like to introduce you all to the staff present here with me."[/b][/color] He gestured to the staff that stood at the wall. [color=39b54a][b]"This is Deputy Headmistress Ayanov, feel free to come to her if you have any questions or concerns."[/b][/color] Farida, the woman in the blue professional attire, smiled and nodded to the students in a professional manner. [color=39b54a][b]"This is Miss McDowell, and she is the Physical Education and Abilities instructor here at the Powerbound Academy."[/b][/color] Constance, wearing combat trousers and a black STC tank top, simply smiled, nodding as well. The Headmaster gestured to the woman next to Constance, introducing her. [color=39b54a][b]"This is Missus Faraj, and she is our wonderful history teacher."[/b][/color] Sajaa gave a shy smile and waved to the students happily, wearing some colorful clothes, as well as a hijab. The headmaster looked to the man and the woman in black jackets, combat trousers, and gunbelts, their jackets with the STC emblem on their shoulders. [color=39b54a][b]"These two are Mister Faraj and Miss Sevilla, and they make sure the campus is safe. They will make sure that this is a safe and friendly learning environment for all of our students."[/b][/color] The two security guards gave a friendly smile and wave to the students. [color=39b54a][b]"And this is Mister Castellanos, he makes sure that our buildings are running smoothly."[/b][/color] Manuelo, wearing a simple stained T-shirt and carpenter pants just cracked a small smile before the headmaster continued on. [color=39b54a][b]"There are many more people who work here but cannot join us today, but know that we are all here to help you."[/b][/color] The Deputy Headmistress kept an eye on students, and when she saw some nodding off, she used her powers to drag energy from the ground and pump it into the sleepy student to get them to pay attention. She smiled at her results before turning to the Headmaster once again. Cyprian continued to speak. [color=39b54a][b]"Here at the Powerbound Academy, our goal is to open the doors for you to grasp the full potential of your abilities, and to set you on the right path."[/b][/color] Cyprian explained. [color=39b54a][b]"We aim to help you understand your abilities, teach you how to use them effectively, and most important of all, help you use your powers to better yourself, those around you, and the world we live in."[/b][/color] The Headmaster said with a soft smile. [color=39b54a][b]"We will be teaching a bunch of classes to you, depending on your wants and your needs here at the Academy."[/b][/color] He explained. [color=39b54a][b]"While we have classes that teach the basic things, like math, science, English, history and things like that, we also have classes in art, athletics, power focus, engineering, and many other things. The only tests we take here are placement tests, and monitor tests, to gauge of how much you learned."[/b][/color] Cyprian explained. [color=39b54a][b]"While we do give grades, they are all on an individual basis based on your placement tests. We understand of all people that everyone else learns differently, and at a different pace, and we seek to accommodate that."[/b][/color] He looked around for a moment before speaking again. "[color=39b54a][b]Most of the reading and lecture classes will be taught here in this building. Lab-based classes will be taught in the building across from this one, and althetic and power-based classes will be taught in the athletic area to the north of us."[/b][/color] He explained. [color=39b54a][b]"We have dorms for everyone, and after orientation, you will be able to collect your belongings, and Mr. Faraj and Ms. Sevilla will take you to your assigned dorm rooms."[/b][/color] [color=39b54a][b]"Now for the rules. Listen [i]very[/i] carefully, because these rules are very important."[/b][/color] He explained. "[color=39b54a][b]The first rule is the most basic rule. Always listen to us, and follow our directions. It is okay to ask why, and it is okay to bring up alternative solutions, but do not disobey orders given by any of us. Our main goal is to keep you all safe, so you will learn. We will not ask without reason."[/b][/color] He said before moving on to the next rule. [color=39b54a][b]"The second rule is to refrain from using your powers unless instructed, or you are in a safe area to use them, like the gymnasium or the practice area out in the woods. This is to make sure that no one gets hurt by accident, and to make sure there is no distractions in class. I know some of you may use them when none of us are around, but whatever you do, do not hurt anyone."[/b][/color] He explained. [color=39b54a][b]"Rule number three. Always have good attendance, and always stay on campus grounds. If you want to leave campus grounds, please let any of us know where and when you are going, and when you are going to return. Always give prior notice. Now this rule is incredibly important because if we leave someone unaccounted for, the entire campus will be placed on red alert, and the whole place is going to be on lockdown."[/b][/color] The headmaster explained, gesturing to the ground. [color=39b54a][b]"A missing metahuman is an incredibly dangerous scenario, and if we do not do anything, people might get hurt or killed, whether it be the metahuman or other people the metahuman may encounter. Remember, this is for your safety, and all of our safety."[/b][/color] Cyprian then moved onto the next rule. [color=39b54a][b]"The rest of the other rules will be explained in your handbook. Violence, bullying, all that stuff is not allowed either, so do not get any ideas."[/b][/color] He moved on. [color=39b54a][b]"Punishment for breaking any of these rules will include in-school detention with your powers neutralized, expulsion, or worse, being transferred to an STC Holding Area. We have never had that happen before, so do not be the first."[/b][/color] He looked to all of the students. [color=39b54a][b]"Now remember, you are here to learn and improve, and we are here to help you with that."[/b][/color] He cracked a smile. [color=39b54a][b]"Now does anyone have any questions?"[/b][/color]
