It had felt like he'd been wondering around on the fields on the outskirts of the academy for hours.  [color=39b54a]"For the record, heh... heading up early was a stupid idea.  Some students have already arrived, managed to stay out sight though just as planned."[/color]  Akira clicked the stop button on the small recorder as he slid it back into his pocket before lowering his face scarf and cowl.  This island certainly was impressive, Arken had done well for himself.  Though admiration for the person running the show, that was far from the reasons he was sent here.  Such a shame, maybe in another universe things could of turned out a bit differently.  The boy sighed as he kicked the dirt softly as he strolled back and forth, keeping clear of the Academy's main entrance but not so far that he couldn't head inside easily enough.

[color=39b54a]"Simply entry... just gotta wait for the main student body to arrive."[/color]  Akira said to himself softly as he continued to pace.  He stopped before retrieving a shrewdly drawn map from his pocket, unfolding it as he glanced around his surroundings once more.  [color=39b54a]"What idiot even provided this..."[/color]  Akira glanced round once more.  [color=39b54a]"Can't trust those intel guys with even the simplest of tasks sometimes."[/color]  Akira's head perks up for a moment before dropping back down.  [color=39b54a]"Two more in the nest it would seem, no need to move yet."[/color]  Akira retrieved the recorder once more clicking the record button. [color=39b54a]"Equipment confirmation check, as required..."[/color]  Akira's voice was almost monotone as he goes over the scripted line.  [color=39b54a]"Daggers two, one iron and one silver.  Hand crossbow..."[/color]  Akira glanced down at his waist.  [color=39b54a]"pre-loaded for quicker engagement.  And finally 10 bolts stashed amongst the personal effects.  It has been... emphasised that no more than this is required, where possibly bolts should be recovered for multiple use.  Any additional will be self made at site if needed."[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Now I guess, the wait continues.  I wonder what's going on down there, fights may be?  Hell they might be surprising everyone with no fights at all... yeah right."[/color]  Akira moved over closer to the academy.  Remaining out of direct sight from the grand hall entrance, but lent up close by. Soon he would move, or at least that was what he had hoped.  [color=39b54a]"Wow... that's a lot of people.  Hope Arken knows what him and his staff are in for."[/color]  No sooner had he begun his makeshift resting place had his mind been flooded by the different aura's that had all entered simultaneously into the Academy's building, one of which was exerting a dominant level of power to the others, easy to pick out.  [color=39b54a]"There you are Arken."[/color]  With that Akira pushed himself off from the wall to make his way round to the grand hall entrance.  There was no need for him to remain outside of the academy and with the number of students that would now be in there, he would be able to enter with little to no chance of drawing unwanted attention to himself.

He had not however planned for such a short introduction, by the time he was at the entrance Arken had clearly moved.  [color=39b54a]"Damn it."[/color]  Akira mumbled shaking his head, no point in worrying about it though he entered the building.  As he does so a student leaves past him the level of anger emanating from them was pretty impressive.  As Akira turns to look he's almost shocked by what he see's as he grabs his recorder.  [color=39b54a]"So the intel was good, Sekhemi [i]is[/i] here.  Looks like his leaving... no skin off our noses his life expectancy will be shorter outside then inside this place anyway."[/color]  Akira whispered into the recorder not wanting to draw attention for Sekhemi before heading inside.

This was quite the collection of weirdo's Arken had seemed to assemble.  Though for a mystic academy this was the closes to normal Akira could expect.  A lot of faces to remember, names weren't important they'd be easy enough to extract with a bit of 'friendly conversation'.  The expected turn-outs had arrived to the academy, didn't look like anyone had turned down their invites, Sekhemi's continued attendance however seemed questionable a best.  There were some that Akira wasn't so sure on, they were an interesting find but there was likely a reason for it, lack of interest from his associates being the most likely scenario in his eyes.  [color=39b54a]"Oh great... What are [i]they[/i] doing here."[/color]  Three students in particular stood out from the group like sore thumbs, though to most of the students that wouldn't be the case.  Were his circumstances different he might of seen fit to address them, but in this moment in time his most pressing matter was to find Arken.  

It appeared that some of the students may have been planning to disperse themselves so they'd clearly received room keys and other effects from Arken already.  [color=39b54a]"Hunting time then."[/color]  Akira made his way through the student body as he headed further into the Academy he had no particular route in mind he was just trying to locate the man in question, he felt for his aura but clearly teleportation magic had been used, all that remained was the stagnating remnants of his presence in the Grand Hall.
