[hr][h3]The Practical Exam, Continued[/h3][hr]11:20 AM, August 6th, 1210PW. 43 Degrees Fahrenheit. Cloudy.[hr][color=f7976a]"Yes, I did throw the new students off a cliff. Why's that bad, though? They all survived, right?"[/color] - A Previous Administrator[hr]

While the new potential students were just getting their bearings and starting to move out, a distant [i]Crack![/i] could be heard in the distance on the east side of the ruined town, and various birdlike creatures flew up and away out of the grass all around. The hissing-rattling noises around each team disappeared with rapidly rustling grass moving away, indicating that the sources of the noises were very much alive and didn't like loud noises one bit. Probably Monsters. A minute later, a noise echoed inside the heads of all students present... Followed by Brovak loudly yelling.

[color=7ea7d8][b]"BWAHAHAHA! OH GODS, THEY-- THEY ACTUALLY... WOW. SORRY, THIS IS SUPPOSE-- BWAHAHAHAAHAAAA! --SUPPOSED TO BE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. ONE TEAM HAS QUIT AFTER A TEAMMATE WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY ACCIDENT. ALL THREE ARE GOING HOME, NOW GIVE THEM A GOOD LAUGH FOR ME. THIS-PFFFFF-- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED."[/b][/color]

A few moments later, a followup message came in a more... Reasonable tone. [color=7ea7d8]"Oh, sorry. Volume control's a bit off, haven't used this kind of magic in a few decades. Don't aim your guns at your teammates, kids. This'll be the last you hear of me until the exam is over. [sub][sub]Oh, and by the way, I'd recommend that everyone get moving. [i]They're[/i] looking a little hungry, though that little accident drove them off for now.[/sub][/sub]"[/color]

Ohon Katann was doing what he did best - being Ohon - when Brovak suddenly burst out laughing, prompting Ohon to nearly choke on the bee he'd bitten out of the air moments prior. Breakfast hadn't been enough to sate his appetite this time, just as it hadn't been any time in the past. When Brovak finally shut up, Ohon turned to finally answer his old classmate, Celeste. The boy was a far better student than Ohon had ever been. For that matter, Mars was too, and Mars seemed to have invaded his space. Ohon didn't particularly like Mars and opted to ignore him for the time being.

He'd already forgotten the breakfast incident.

[i][color=f49ac2]"My senses of smell and hearing are better than most, and my kind are skilled in most forms of natural and elemental magics,"[/color][/i] the Telkit responded. Mionrashk hadn't been provided any equipment save for five extra condensers, which popped onto his existing bandolier alongside the other twenty. To underscore his comment, a small arc of electricity shot between the tips of his long, pointed ears, followed by a small puff of flame and a small pebble materializing in midair. The tiny monster wasn't about to waste any more energy than he had to on small demonstrations, and he hoped that what he did would be enough.

[i][color=f49ac2]"I also know a fair bit about Monsters, though I'm unfamiliar with the species present this far north. Speaking of, we're being fol-"[/color][/i]

[i]Crack![/i]

The gunshot echoed through the air only a few hundred meters to their south, startling Mionrashk into throwing himself onto Berke's shoulder and staring violently in the sound's direction, spikelike fur standing on end. When Brovak started shouting, he swung his head all around, staring in all directions for the source of the noise. It seemed to be incredibly uncomfortable for the small creature, and he was still shaken and uncomposed after the announcement finally ended.

[i][color=f49ac2]"Clanlead be damned! Why must humans always be so [b]loud[/b]!?"[/color][/i]
