[hider=Synopsis]A new semester brings new challenges for the students of the cursed Class Camellia. Freshman professor, Nyx Yuria, devises a test to gauge the capabilities of his hapless pupils, but his unconventional teaching methods soon draw the attention of Avalice's Miracle Seven whose curriculum he has systematically ignored in favor of his own.[/hider]

Spring in Avalice has always been a wondrous event. The cherry blossom trees—a courteous gift from Class Sakura—are in full bloom this time of year. The springtide zephyr carries the pale pink petals dancing across the sky in an act of blessing. With the new year comes a new semester for students both old and new here at the legendary Academy of Might & Magics. In accompaniment, a myriad of familiar feelings return to them: anxiety, determination, fear, joy, hope. For one man, however, the new semester brings with it nothing but the stain of humiliation. Oh how the mighty have fallen; relinquished to a life of instruction when destiny was supposed to beckon him to a higher calling. Nyx Yuria stands firmly on the cobblestone steps leading toward the central plaza. A scowl on his face, he eyes the towering buildings ahead with palpable disdain.

The hour draws late for Class Camellia. While the students have already taken their seats in the lecture hall, their new professor was supposed to arrive nearly thirty minutes ago, and yet he is nowhere to be seen. Class-C's previous instructor was a genial old man by the name of Professor Mavis; a man well-regarded in the magical arts. He has since retired as of last year and Headmaster Alphonse Augustine has personally hired new blood to take Mavis's place. One has to wonder what kind of man this new professor really is to be personally offered a job by the head of the greatest school in all of Alrune?

As the students talk among themselves trying to figure out what they should do or just catching up with their classmates after the long break, shouting can suddenly be heard from outside in the hallway. "Hey kid, you're supposed to be in class not wandering around here." The voice of a gruff, older gentleman states, muffled somewhat by the walls. [color=#86608E]"I'm a professor, you inconsequential nag! Get in my way again and I'll turn you into a frog."[/color] A younger voice says in response. "Hey, hold on! I [i]said[/i] wait up-" His sentence is cut short by the sound of a small explosion.

The left entrance door to the lecture hall abruptly swings open and in walks a young man seemingly not much older than any one of the students here. He, and the doorway, is covered in a heavy, black smoke, quite possibly from the explosion that the students would've heard just moments ago. Dressed in expensive purple garb and carrying a leather limp satchel, the young man walks to the wooden desk at the front of the room and sets his belongings down.

The blackboard behind him starts to magically write a name in shimmering white ink: 'Nyx Yuria'. Once the class goes completely silent, he addresses them. [color=#86608E]"My name is Nyx Yuria—[i]Professor[/i] Nyx to you all. I am a graduate summa cum laude of Avalice and the former Second Seat of the Miracle Seven's 106th generation. Due to certain events that I'll not bother to explain, I find myself with a year of free time to which I've been asked by Headmaster Augustine to come and teach at this prestigious academy. Obviously, I'll be teaching all of you, students of the infamous Class Camellia. Now when I was a student here not so long ago, Class-C was a barren wasteland for the untalented. I hazard to guess it has not seen much change since then, if at all. No matter, I'll simply decide for myself."[/color]

He takes a seat on the chair behind his desk, placing one leg over the other and clasping his hands together. [color=#86608E]"Now then, I want to see hands and names. Go."[/color]
