[i][color=f26522]"That won't be needed, Miss Voland,"[/color][/i] came Kaizer's voice as he walked across the courtyard. A group of bleary-eyed second-years followed behind him with their heads lowered. They sheepishly walked past and grabbed their own weapons to begin drills. [i][color=f26522]"The first-years will be spending their morning classes with Professor Blackwood today. She wishes to test their proficiency with Unity before we begin putting them into combat.[/color][/i] From across the courtyard, a tall raven-haired woman could be seen leaning against a pillar, notebook and quill in hand. When she locked eyes with Calliope, Morgana offered a smile and a curt wave before returning to her work. 

Kaizer returned his attention to the students and addressed the crowd, [i][color=f26522]"Alright, students! If you are warmed up for the day, we'll begin with morning announcements! First of all, I would like to personally welcome back each and every one of you to the Academy. I know you've all likely heard the rumors about Decree's influence spreading within the kingdom, and I commend you for your willingness to return. I assure you, you are all safe here. Now... As you may be aware, we have some new students joining us this year."[/color][/i] He gestured to Willow and the other four first-years who suddenly felt a multitude of eyes fixed on them, sizing them up. 

[i][color=f26522]"I'm sure you'll all get to know them later, but for now, you'll be breaking off into groups. First years, you'll meet with Professor Blackwood today. She will be testing your skills with Unity and how strong you are with your partners. Third years, you'll be joining Okido at the lake for mock-battle training. Finally, second years are with me today. We're going out in the field."[/color][/i] The old knight watched as the second years perked up at this news. Kaizer accompanying the students outside the academy was rare. 

While the students broke off into their groups, Morgana Blackwood strode forward and gestured offered a hand to the first year students, [i][color=purple]"Come with me please, children. You'll be getting started with me today."[/color][/i] As the little group debated whether or not to follow, they felt a gentle push from behind. Turning, they saw Titania the Hatterene looming over them and pushing them forward with her long ponytail.
