A girl with long light pink hair, wearing a knee length white dress came running up the steps with a big smile on her face. Her pale blue eyes gleamed as she looked around at the departing students. Shoot I'm late! she thought to herself. Yet she wasn't bothered by this. She was just so happy that she was out and about again.
"Gee I wonder if I have to sign in or anything.."She cheered down the hallway as she tried to find out where exactly she was supposed to go.
-
Before Chelsea dropped her books electricity crackled across Daniel's skin. He whipped around. Something was off, but but when he looked at Chelsea she looked normal. Still something didn't feel right. He introduced himself and her to Enzo while picking up the books.
-
Nikola readjusted himself after being knocked about a bit before tucking the clipboard under his arm. A sigh left his lips as people started to come up to him, asking for directions or other information. He was able to answer, but most of the time he had to send teachers to the front office about their schedules.
He saw Red push someone around a bit, and the bespectacled young man shook his head some in disappointment. The redheaded man had talent, but he was always looking for a fight, and truth be told, even Nikola was afraid of him. He leaned back some against the wall, waiting for someone else to come up and ask a question.
Nikola actually didn't have to attend classes today. In fact, only new students and freshmen had to attend, if he remembered correctly. Second year students and up could stay home, or in their dorms to collect the rest of their materials before they had to take their advanced class. He groaned quietly as he rubbed the back of his neck, some of the stress from the first day catching up to him.
And then the two kids from earlier appeared and the black haired girl stopped and covered her ears. Her books fell to the floor and immediately Daniel swooped down to pick them up. With a spur of the moment burst of concern, Nikola jogged over to the group that was forming around them.
"Miss? Are you alright?" His British accent was thick in his voice, due to the suddenness of the moment. He stared at her, wide-eyed and doe-like, his glasses only making the lightly colored orbs seem bigger. Heck, he probably looked like some kind of crazy anime character.
-
Kenji tugged on bottom of Enzo's pants, wanting his attention. "Enzo?" He asked with a shy tone. Enzo was busy staring at the list, finding it suddenly interesting. The tug on his pants alerted him to Kenji, then to the group that was standing beside him. Enzo couldn't help but slightly jump. He hadn't even sensed them nearby. "H-Hi there." His voice stuttered, as if he had seen a ghost. It was obvious he was on edge since Red appeared.
-
Volitire noticed the tall red haired boy standing over Enzo. Volitaire's blood boiled, he instantly felt the need to protect his only friend. He pushed people out the way trying to make way to Enzo. When he arrived at his friends side he reassuringly patted Enzo's shoulder. "Everything okay..?" Volitaire eyed the tall brute with some anger. He took a good look at him to try and see the kind of person he is. He already made out that he was just some tall, douche prick but he wondered how well he could handle himself if Volitaire had to fight him to get him away from Enzo. "I do hope you're not giving him trouble..." Volitaire says with some aggravation.
-
Chelsea's face flushed as soon as she found out that a few people had seen her little display. The chants weren't uncommon for her, its just that this time they seemed more urgent , more longing. She shook her head again to get the thoughts away. All she needed was some time by herself..
She turned her head to see the man who had asked for her name earlier, for this reason, she was very reluctant to stay and talk to him. "Um..I'm fine." Was all that could be herd, but was barely below a whisper.
-
"N-No, he just came up to me." Enzo explained. Red smiled as he had noticed Volitaire's magical presence. "Anyway, I didn't expect you be here." He said.
-
"I came to wish you luck, though, I only find you being harassed by this brute. Can you tell me what your name is, and why you're pestering my friend?" Volitaire looked up at Red, his smile was unsettling and also irritating to witness.
-
Red ceased his onslaught on one of the students, and turned to face Volitaire. "I'd ask you the same question, welp." Red sneered. Kenji grinned and hopped onto Enzo's shoulder. "They're going to fight, Enzo." Kenji said with a sly tone. "That's not really a good thing..."
-
Heaven Eyes walked about the halls, recklessly not paying attention to where she was going and caused her to walk into A fiery red-headed boy who looked aggravated about something. This caused Heaven Eyes to crash down to the floor on her butt. "Oww, that hurt, silly me!"
She sat there and looked around at the people now much taller than her. She blinked and giggled a little at how giant they all seemed now that she was on the floor. She tucked some strands of hair behind her ear and tried to push herself up off the ground without letting her dress flip up.
-
"Ugh, damn insect!" Red shouted as Heaven bumped into her. Red turned around to her. "I'll teach you not to put your filthy stupidness on me!" Red pulled back his fist, and then goes in to punch her.
-
Volitaire panicked and quickly moves around Red to grab his incoming fist, halting his attack. "What kind of sick man tries to hit a woman. An innocent one no doubt. I'm sure she didn't mean to and you just go and flip shit. Listen, you're hungry hungry hippo looking ass needs to cool out! Alright!?" Volitaire tosses the fist back, making Red move back a bit. He looks down and the girl that had fallen over and leans down to assist her. "You're not hurt, right?" Volitaire helps her up.
-
Heaven Eyes winced a little as she saw the red-headed boy was about to hit her. Surely she hadn't done something so awful to deserve to be hit. She closed her eyes, waiting to feel the pain from the punch she was about to receive.
Seconds passed and nothing had happened. She herd a different voice, this time it was a little kind, but on edge. She dared to open out of her eyes to see that a different boy hand leaned down to help her up. She thankfully reached for his hand and made a mental sigh of relief. "Thank you! I really though I was going to get hit.." She shyly laughed and looked over at the red-headed boy again. "Um, I'm sorry for bumping into you.."
-
"That does it, emo kid. Once Red said those words, nearby conversations stopped among the experienced students. They knew that whoever challenged Red wouldn't be seen for a while. "You've got one hour from now to meet me behind the school." With that, Red storms off. He wasn't used to anyone stepping up to him, and dwarfing his authority in public. That damn welp. He doesn't have a clue what's in store for him.
-
A black limo pulled up to the front of Sorcerer. A car that is shrouded with shadow enhanced windows and no license plate installed to the front or back. But a symbol of the organization could be seen on the hood of the car. An organization that much people do not know the name of. Inside a conversation was being held by Ling, Joanne, and the Mission Briefer. "So you understand your duties representing the higher ups for attending this school. You two are our best and it would be a shame that you end up slandering the good name of the organization." A simple "Kukuku," escaped Ling's mouth. "Of course, we would never do anything to dishonour the organization as well as losing our titles of the best. We're pretty much going to act like good little children and avoid any sort of trouble." Joanne sitting at the direction of the school just silently stared at the clear view of the giant building. Her face pretty much says, "Why did I pick such a crappy job?" Ling turned to Joanne and gave her a petty concerned face. "Don't give that face Joanne. It's the first day of school, you should try and give good impression to your peers and teachers." She simply glared back and rolled her eyes, giving a hush "tch" to show her discomfort. "Well I can't say the same for me. My face is not really the 'friendly' type." The suited man handed both of them gym bags filled with their necessities and documents. "Everything you two need are in the bags, you'll know what to do from here." Joanne exit the vehicle first after swiping the bag from the man. Ling gave a sarcastic salute and followed behind. "You know with all of your money Joanne, you could have gave us a more luxurious entrance." Joanne annoyed aura started to ride. "Ling, we're not here to act like students. We have our own objectives." Ling gave a deviant's smile and nodded. "Of course. We have an agenda to fulfil."
The arrival of the two did not surprise the crowd in any way. There were many more prestigious students exiting even more extravagant transportation in order to show off their money. But the two did give off a terrible vibe, which end up with many of the students avoiding them. Joanne kept silent in the walk, but Ling was a bit fascinated by the view around him like a kid in a candy store. "So each and every person here are magic users. If I were to be more interested, I would say 'this feels like home.' But of course, our home is a bit more brutal than this place." "This happy atmosphere is nauseating. I'm going to feel sick at the end of the day." Ling gave a small "kuku" before bending over to her height. "Lighten up, we're only here for a half a day. We need to ensure that we keep a good attendance." Ling instantly notice a conflict taken place by some students inside the building they entered. "Aiyaa, looks like we stumbled upon something troubling." The two of them witnessed the scene unfold as they watched a hot-headed "Red" share sparks with calm Volataire. Joanne is a bit interested in watching a fight ensue, so Ling stood next to her to watch the upcoming fight. Ling was giving a good examination of the place and saw Enzo not too far looking frantic and a couple of other students in the back. He even caught a glimpse of Nikola who he had recognized from reports.
-
Volitaire makes a somewhat maniacal laugh. "I'm looking forward to it." He sounded excited and crazy, but Volitaire is always looking to prove someone wrong. "He won't be bothering anyone after the next hour, Enzo. I'll make sure he experiences all the pain he's inflicted to others. I'll be hanging out around here should you be out of class. Volitaire leaves out to the courtyard waving as he makes his way out.
-
Volitaire had reminded Enzo of school. What class was he supposed to pick? Enzo nodded and turned around, staring at the magic class bulletin. "Ahh, I'll go with destruction." Honestly, Enzo couldn't bare to look at it again, But he caught something in the corner of his eye. The class times. 10:00AM. He looked at his watch, and realized it was 9:55am! Enzo fastened his backpack, and allowed Kenji to safely hang onto it as both of them started to make their way to the staircase.
Once they made their way up the staircase to the second floor, Kenji speaks "Enzo, Did you get the scent of those two new students that just came in?" Enzo looked back at Kenji, who was now sitting upright on the backpack. "There's something very... odd about them." Kenji explained, zoning out. Enzo looks infront of him, and slightly down, indicating that he's in a deep state of thought. "You're right. Nobody's really that friendly around here. I wonder if we'll be alright at this school." Kenji taps him in the head to snap him out of his negative thought. "While that's true, everything is scary at first!" Kenji smiled, uplifting Enzo's spirit.
-
Volitaire sits on the roof of a smaller class building that's near the back of the school. "Emo kid...am I really emo to people? I mean, I know I'm a bit distraught about my family and all, but, emo? Way to hit a low blow, you monkey..." Volitaire rests his head on his hand and waits the hour away.
-
A little while afterwards, The school's magical classes were just finishing. But instead of taking a break at local spots in town, everyone gathered outside, behind the school, for a fight was to take place. Red stood in the center, with the Student's crowding around the area. The area itself was pretty spacious. A playground wasn't too far from it, so nobody could really let loose. Enzo emerged from the back of the school. Worry plagues his face and emotional self. "I'm worried about Volitaire." Kenji states. "I mean, Red isn't fearfully known for nothing, you know!" "I should help.." Enzo uttered silently. "What? you mean..." Kenji's animal body starts to shake with worry. "You promised you wouldn't.." Kenji said. His voice was starting to get wobbly. "I can't just stand and do nothing."
-
Volitaire descends with a a trailing black aura and has a very serious and focused look on his face. He eyes Red with anticipation and seems very much ready to take what's coming to him. He stands in the center and wait for Red to make his move. "I'm here. Like you asked. You have a chance to walk away, I can and will, rip your very essence from your body, Red. All I want is for you to stop pestering everyone here. I can feel their pain and not even go to this school." Volitaire faces forward ready to fight.
-
Red smiled wickedly. "I'll tell you what. You beat me, I'll leave every magician attending this school alone." The air was tense. The students weren't watching to cheer on Red. They all silently cheered for Volitaire, seeing as he's their only hope to stop his harassment.
"But, I f I win, I get to make an example out of you, as to why you should never try and defy me." 4 experienced magicians descend from the top of the school,
landing on each corner of their "arena". "These guys will make sure nobody stops us." Red explains."They're my loyal allies, who share the same goal as I do." Each of the defensive magicians were built, male, and had a large magical presence coming from them. They seemed to be physical wizards, having a standard sword with them. Having all that magical power in one spot was pressuring, if not risky on the human body.
-
Volitaire looked at them. "Fine. I don't need you running away. Look at these students. Their faces are ripe with anxiety. They want me to win. And I will do just that. You have no idea of the magical skill and knowledge I hold, Red. You are formidable, but nothing compared to what I have for you. You're no worth the spit I'd hack at your direction. Now show me why you're so fearsome." Volitaire pulled out a jagged 1-bladed sword from the thin air. It was black and looked very deadly. "Come on, you prick." Volitaire assumed a battling stance.
-
The two of them went through the day unnoticed, or so they thought with the only people who had noticed them was a fox. They attended class and barely made any conversation with anyone at Sorcerers. The only reason why they attended class properly was to watch the show at the end of the say. A battle between two students. This would help them examine the student body more carefully. "I'm in a bad mood. The girls here are just to regular for my taste. Had to give them a piece of my mind." If Ling could frown, he would, but his smile was the only thing plastered on his face. "I overheard while I was outside. It would have been wiser to simply ignore them." Joanne did not give a retort. The two arrived after the arena was set. Standing the furthest away, they were able to get a whole view of the crowd and the two fighters.
"That guy sure talks a lot. I feel like we're in some sort of movie with this development." Ling could not help but give his usual chuckle for the hilarity of the two "actors" preparing to battle. Joanne silently stood next to Ling, tapping her feet impatiently as the fight have yet to be started. "I've researched on this Red fellow while we were on break. He does have an amazing skills record. Pretty much acing all of his courses. The only problem about this one is he is terrible at charisma. Sure he have a few lackeys, but not anyone who is on the same level as him. Just simple followers in order to make sure that they aren't harassed." Ling peered at Joanne with very narrow eyes. "Oi, I hope you're paying attention. You need to keep this information in case we ever have a run in with him." Joanne stepped on Ling's foot as he bit the bottom of his lip. "Of course I'm listening. You're always ignorant about my attention span. I'm hoping that this fight ends fast. I don't want to be in this school for any time longer." Ling made a sarcastic remark about how painful her jab was. Ling then collected his cool once again and gave his kitsune smile. "Well, we don't necessarily have to be here you know. I already know the outcome of this match." Joanne gave a glance to Ling and turned her attention back to the arena. "We'll see about that."
-
"I like your attitude." Red's red sword rises straight up from the ground, sticking up with it's hilt. Red grabs it, and his veins glow a faint red, the magical power from the sword connecting with Red. He lifts it up with one hand, pointing it at Volitaire. "Point beam!" He shouted, as the bright redness of the sword quickly shifts from the hilt end to the tip of the large sword, bursting out of it as a beam of raw energy. Let's see you handle this simple attack. He thought.
-
Volitaire stood still and watched the beam draw closer, once in a close enough range his eye glew yellow. Two afterimages split from Volitaire and he vanished instantly, the beam fired off but the crowd moved just in time before it made impact. Volitaire remained hidden for a few moments before two undead rose from the ground at his feet from a showy depth and began pull him under.
-
"That's no good, welp." Red stabs his shining crimson sword into the ground. Nearby cracks start to light up. The ground itself started to warm up, as if it was about to boil.
-
Volitaire whizzes behind Red and makes a faint whisper in Reds ear before dashing off again. "God job taking the bait..." Volitaire dashes off again leaving a slit in Reds back from his sword. The undead at Red's feet fall into the black hole that Red had boiled up. Volitaire halts at the other side of the field and takes the blood off his sword from his index and middle finger and plots his next move.
-
Red doesn't wince from the pain, instead, he takes his sword out of the ground, and stands upright. Necromancy... I see now. Red holds his free hand out. His bones start to shift and change. "Beast form: Earth." And with that, Red's arm turns to stone, with some red essence flowing in in it to his fingers.
Red darts off towards Volitaire, dragging his sword on the ground as he goes. His sword starts to trail red energy from the tip. Once close enough, Red stops, and punches his stone arm into the ground. The floor underneath Volitaire starts to shake as large spikes cover the ground in his area.
-
Volitaire looks down and notices the ground. He jumps up and off the spikes and goes up into the air. He thought to himself, "Good endurance. It seems I'd have wear him out from the inside, I've got an idea." The blood that was in Volitaire's fingers became a mist as it began to lift from his fingers. He swiped his hand and a small mist-like bullet shot down to the Earth and covered over the whole field. He dived back down into the mist and camouflaged himself inside.
-
"This reminds me of why I always hated gloomy people." Red looks around, his gaurd up. The mist clouded his vision, but not his sword. Reds offensive energy couldn't mix with the black mist. Red smiles as he increases his magical energy. His body's outline starts to glow an eerie red. The bright red color pushes away the mist, allowing him to see, but also allowing him to be easily seen.
