”H-hmph, I'm out of here!”

Before Silas could get an answer out of the still-bowing Zafi, the other girl announced her exodus from the situation. [color=8493ca][i]Good fucking riddance.[/i][/color] First impressions weren't everything, but this girl had made a terrible one on him. Her presence had only worsened the situation and pissed off Silas, not to mention her annoying demeanour and voice! Just like that the girl who was shamelessly explicit one second and offended the next had fled. He looked over to shoot a scornful gaze at the retreating girl, only to find that his target had already left.

As Silas turned back he found Zafi crumpled on the floor in a heap, once more, not unlike how he had first found her a few moments ago. Just by looking, Silas could see Zafi was upset, tears were running down her face and she looked... defeated. Silas merely looked on as she took all the emotions present on her face and wiped them out. The tears stopped flowing within an instant, the only trace they left was the slight redness in her eyes. Zafi had once again donned a mask of stone, one that would not be corroded by sorrow or any emotion for that matter.

[color=DDA0DD]”I’m sorry, Silas. I di’nt meaned to… to… agir sans vergogne... Allez me pardonner? ”Can you… please, me pardonner?”[/color] 

Silas was once again dumbfounded at Zafi's speech, it was kind of hard to not be when you only understand half of what was said! [color=8493ca][i]Me pardonner... It's sounds like... Is she trying to say sorry?[/i][/color] Sudden sniffing snapped Silas out of his search for a solution. The previously impervious mask was once again drenched with tears that washed away the neutrality on Zafi's face. 

[color=8493ca]"It's fine, you didn't end up killing me right? So no harm done."[/color]

Evidently his words meant little as Zafi promptly stood up and ran off.

In a way, it wasn't the worst outcome, he could've gotten slapped by either of the two girls. At the very least, one of the girls wasn't pissed off... hopefully. Besides, there was still plenty of academy left to explore and now Silas could finally get on with exploring. 
[color=8493ca][i]So what was that about today being boring?[/i][/color] He couldn't help but smirk at the irony. Putting both hands in his pockets, Silas began wandering the halls once more, waiting for something else to catch his attention.

The Audience Hall was grand cosmetically but not so much in size. The representations of the elements being particularly pleasing to the eye. Like all the other first-years Silas had sat down in a... bush-chair? and was waiting for the teachers to begin. Idly, he looked around and saw all sorts of students, though he couldn't manage to find Zafi or the other girl from earlier. Luckily, the wait wasn't too long as a cloaked figure took the stage.

[color=0054a6]"Students of the Academy! I welcome you to my home, and to your home as well. For those who have not gotten a chance to meet me in the hallway or on the grounds, my name is Kano Hargor. Headmaster of the establishment and resident teacher of the Water and Dark students."[/color]

[color=8493ca][i] THAT'S THE HEADMASTER? I was expecting some stuck up prick wearing a suit and tie! Not to mention the fact that he's also my teacher...[/i][/color]

Before Silas could recover from the surprise, the next teacher took the stand and he was already yelling at them. One part of the rant in particular caught Silas's attention. Right in the middle of Manilow's speech, he started sounding like a completely different person and it was not just because he had stopped bellowing. Using words like experience and motto, when just a second ago he was threatening people with harm if they touched his shed. Needless to say Silas was quite confused.

The next teacher, a woman who did not identify herself said something that Silas didn't ever think would come out of the mouth of a teacher.

[color=f49ac2]"So we need balance, we need a bit of chaos. That's where you come in; take your self-expression, your rebelliousness, your energy, your curiosity, and push against your constraints. This Academy can't teach you everything, some things must be experienced, and the best ideas come from innovation rather than paradigm."[/color]

[color=8493ca][i]HELL YES! I have NO idea who you are but I hope I'm in your class![/i][/color] Every teacher Silas had met up until today would never have told him to push against his limitations, they probably would have told him to stay within them. Then again, this was no ordinary school now was it?

Out of the corner of his eye Silas saw someone moving, and they were moving with purpose. Turning to investigate, he saw a boy with black hair, and he looked PISSED. Between the scowl and the way he carried himself, Silas could tell this guy was trying to look tough. [color=8493ca][i]This guy's making himself look like an asshole.[/i][/color]

[color=crimson]"FUCK THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU."[/color]

[color=8493ca][i]Okay... so he doesn't just look like an asshole, HE IS AN ASSHOLE![/i][/color] The kid then proceeded to destroy the podium, and warned his roommate to move. Silas merely laid back and scowled right back at the kid, he probably thought he was a badass or something. More surprising was the headmaster's reaction, or lack thereof. The kid would probably get it later, but the headmaster seemingly completely ignored what the kid did, and closed the ceremony as if nothing had happened. Silas joined the clapping congregation in applauding Headmaster Hargor, even if it was mainly because he had just denied the kid any reaction from him.

[hr]  

Silas openly gawked at the water elemental, seeing such a masterful creation mad him wonder... would he eventually be capable of something like it? Would he be able to reshape the tides and bend them to his every whim? [color=8493ca]"That is awesome!"[/color] Silas stated, beyond awestruck. It seems that at least one of the other students agreed with him because another boy kept trying to take pictures of the elemental, even as they were making their trek across the grounds.

After a not so long journey across the academy grounds, Silas had finally reached the dorm building with the other students. The disorderly appearance of the dorms was a surprise but not the unpleasant kind. [color=8493ca][i]I guess the whole 'push your limits' and 'we need a bit of chaos' stuff from earlier wasn't a lie.[/i][/color] Silas found himself in the middle of the queue to obtain his key, and he quickly noticed the clearly stressing girl behind the counter. After he had gotten his key, he turned to look at the line behind him before looking to the girl and simply saying, [color=8493ca]"Good friggin' luck."[/color] before leaving to find his dorm.

When he first arrived, Silas checked both sides of the dorm to see if his roommate was already there. His search turned up nothing, so he decided to take the right room for himself. With a sigh of relief Silas dropped his bags to the floor before practically crashing down on his bed. [color=8493ca][i]So this is home for the next few years...[/i][/color] He fished around in his pocket for a moment and he withdrew a pair of headphones that were tangled. [color=8493ca]"Damnit..."[/color] Reluctantly, Silas set to the minor task of untangling his headphones before plugging them into his phone and turning on his playlist, waiting for his roommate to arrive.
