Maria nodded seeing that Maya hadn't heard and jogged up to her. " Maya , Volitaire is coming with us, he just as to do something first .. okay? " she said smiling. Hoping he wouldn't take too long. She hadn't been at the school very long and already so much had happened. She'd at least made a friend and got to meet some new people but hadn't really gone out to do anything outside of school.
"Surely this isn't the same Enzo from the Battle Royale. This will be a problem if he is holding back like that." Aleister decided to intervene the fight by clapping his hand while walking in between the two. "That's enough Kyoya. I think Enzo had enough punishment for now. You should give him a couple minutes break, I have a few words for him."
Kyoya let down his tonfas when Aleister talked. "Alright." He walked over to the wall, and his tonfas dissolved into purple flame, returning into the small box. Enzo sat up, and looked to Aleister. He didn't say anything, but he kept an eye on him.
"You must be Enzo Ferrari." He let out a hand trying to help him up. "Don't be shy, I don't tend to bite unless I need to." He let out a heartwarming smile.
Joanne eyed Kyoya. That guy is pretty strong. Who else does Boone have hiding in his sleeves. She did not at all felt confident in taking him on if they were going to fight. She still have yet to heal all of her wounds form the battle too.
Enzo contained the flame emitting from his hand and took Aleister's. He stood up with his help and still did not speak. He noticed Volitaire enter the room, aswell. Kyoya on the other hand scanned the room as if he were waiting for something bad to happen shorty.
“Sorcerers,” JD stated- letting the word roll off his tongue. “You think they could have not made their name so bloody obvious. ‘WELL HELLO WORLD WE TEACH FUTURE MAGES OF SAID WORLD’,” those arms unfolded in a pretend billboard of sorts. “Well so far I’m unimpressed- what you about you E?”
The circumstances for their arrival had been a drawn out affair of a many changing of hands, and inevitably ended with a stale faced fellow supplanting them here before the academy and rather blandly informing them to ‘play nice’. This had made JD laugh- a real knee slapper it was- because he wasn’t going to ‘play nice’ with anything. This was also doubly reinforced with the knowledge that his fellow students owned the same sort of knack he did- the knack of power. Yet JD didn’t know anything of the politics here, of the social hierarchy, or even where he would take a shower and sleep (both activities quite nude). Currently he was without a direction as to flex his ‘muscles’ and inform the blokes that he was no cad that they could push around. Of course he hoped they could make that from his rather outstanding appearance- a gray shirt, black jacket with silver threading, numerous rings, metal plated belt, torn up jeans, and ratty red Converse. This all complemented his silver eyes- yes a sort of liquid paleness- and those blonde locks.
“Onward and forward E- onto battle- and plausibly making a friend or two! No blokes though, can’t have your mind focused away from your studies.” JD pressed his eyes against sister- oh the many fights he would probably get into batting the boys off of his twin.
Volitaire patted Enzo's back. "You put up quite a fight...but who's the man you were fighting?" Volitaire's face looked concerned but also confused. A bit concerned why people were fighting him. "Also...you were arrested?"
"Volitaire." He said with his dark tone. Suddenly, his flames stop emitting, and his eyes go back to their normal color. "I.. haven't seen you in a while, hahah." He said, scratching his head. His body stung from the hits he took from Kyoya's tonfas. "I wouldn't want to say arrested. Just.. an accident."
Volitaire tilted his head. "Accident? Explain." Volitaire said plainly.
Silver stood there silently, observing everyone. She stared at the one people called Kyoya, and was intrigued by his flames. Part of her was surprised that he, too, fought with flames, but another part of her wasn't. He seemed quite powerful, too.
I wouldn't mind going up against that. Seems like it would be fun.
She looked around the room again, acknowledging the people who had joined them. A stray lock of hair had fallen out of place and over her eyes, so she lightly pushed it back into place.
"Well, I..." Enzo moved his gaze around the room, shamefully. "I lost control of myself.. Again." He muttered. "Training isn't paying off, now I can't even switch my mode by myself. I have to get shot by the Emo-bullet for it to happen."
Volitaire chuckled. "The "emo-bullet"...are you making fun of me?" Volitaire squinted his eyes and looked at Enzo with suspicion. "But hey, at least I got to see you. I needed to know what happened after overhearing all this nonsense. Though, it doesn't sound a lot like you. I thought you figured out how to switch your power on and off."
"It must have been something with the shot I absorbed from X." He laughed awkwardly. "And no, Kenji made up the name."
Kenji wasn't pay attention to the conversation at all, he was focused on both Aleister and Joanne. "Aleister. Earlier, you said you had two students here, are those students Joanne and Ling?"
Volitaire eyed Kenji and looked back at Enzo. "Eh either way...it looks like we both have something to try and keep under control." Volitaire saw that the students that crowded around started to head back upstairs. "I may need your help with this one, though." Volitaire patted Enzo's back reassuringly with a weak and nervous smile.
"Sounds bad.." Enzo frowned. If Volitaire could freakout like anything close to him during Battle Royal, it is a serious problem. "We both can train here." He said.
Volitaire's eyes narrowed. "Well, I suppose it could work. But my problem is, keeping me from going a bit rampant. I can't do it to you...I've known you too long. But it's if other people are nearby. I'd prefer we'd train on our...'abnormalities' when people are away. Possibly near a sort of supper time? I have some control...but not enough around people I don't know." Volitaire hung his head a bit.
"You're probably right. We don't want a second Battle Royal happening." He sighed at the thought, and noticed Silver had woken up. He smiled at her, not noticing she was watching this whole time.
"Also, there's some red headed boy, who oddly reminds me of you...who is he? New student?" Volitaire crossed his arms.
Silver grinned at the two boys, pretty much ignoring whatever they were talking about. Took him long enough to notice me, jeesh. She rolled her eyes hearing about the redheaded boy, what was so special about him? Seriously, he was just another new student who happened to have bright red hair. She didn't understand why everyone seemed to be so worked up over him.
"Red headed boy?" Enzo couldn't imagine someone being like him. A complete failure at social interaction.
After around 30 minutes of trying to find the training room, The red haired boy came across the doorway to it, finally. He caught sight of Enzo and started running towards him. "Enzo!" Enzo turned around and saw the boy as he stopped just infront of him. This.. must be him.. "Who are you?" "Me?"

"It's me, Enki!"
Silver stared at the redheaded boy who appeared out of nowhere. She recalled seeing him in the cafeteria earlier, and thought it was strange how friendly he was being with Enzo. What connections does this 'Enki' have with him?
"He knows, Enzo..?" Volitaire remained quiet keeping an eye on him. "Interesting...so I guess this is an old acquaintance of Enzo's. But that doesn't explain how he knows nothing about him. I'll keep my distance, till I get to know this guy better." Volitaire let out a long sigh. "I think I'll get going. I've loitered here enough...bye Enzo, Silver, ...Enki." Volitaire put his hands in his pockets and walked out facing downward.
Enzo blinked, he had no memory of seeing Enki before. Before he could say anything, Kenji did. "What the hell are you doing here?" He had his pistol out, but he didn't aim it just yet. Enki turned to him, his gloomy mood returning quickly. "I'm just warning him, Kenji. That's it." "Warn me? about what? You know him, Kenji?" Enzo glanced back and fourth between the two, totally lost in whatever situation he was apparently in.
"He wanted me to take care of him, but I.. can't. You know that." "The other 'you' won't really care about what happens, though. It's too dangerous for you to be around here. Enzo isn't ready to face all of that right now, anyway." Enki looked down, nodding slowly. "I see.." He returned his red gaze to Enzo. "You've got some new friends, too." He forced a smile, but it was obvious he was in disapproval of them. "And.. you don't even remember me."
Though Enzo didn't know, or remember him, he felt bad. In a way, Enki was similar to him. He felt the familiar tension in the air. So tense, that he barely noticed Volitaire leave the room, and turned the corner to leave before he could say anything.
Silver narrowed her eyes at the redhead. The other him? What's Kenji talking about? The grip around her bag containing her swords tightened, just in case something were to happen.
Volitaire walked up the stairs and looked around for Maria or Maya, wondering if they wanted to go shopping. He went outside in front of the school and sat on some benches and read some more of his book and patiently waited. His mind was all over the place because of this Enki character. He was concerned that he could be a problem for Enzo, but he figured he could handle it...but it was suspicious how he knows Enzo, while Enzo himself knowing nothing about him.
"Oh, shut it you." She responded in a strangely pleasant tone for the statement. In one quick motion she pulled out a small mirror compact from her bag, checked for any imperfections and snapped it shut hiding it in her bag once again.
The two began to wander down the hall - but wander with a purpose. Their pace was casual, but her glances were full of tact. It wasn't a ghost town, but not many faces were actually capturing her attention. Eos was looking for something, but it was impossible to know just what she was searching for.
Before long the two somehow ended up outside the school, this realization mildly irritating the girl. Damn it is easy to get lost around here! She thought to herself, stomping her heel against the ground.
But then something caught her eye - better yet, someone caught her eye. A detached boy with dark hair who seemed to be lost in the book he was reading. "Alright, we're off to make ourselves an acquaintance."
Walking up to the boy, she put a hand on her hip and leaned toward him. "You look like someone worth interrupting~." A coy smile spread across her lips.
Volitaire blushed at the sudden surprise. He folded the page of his book and closed it delicately, the binding a bit damaged from time. He moved his hair out of his eyes and forced a weak smile. "And what brings you to interrupt me?" Volitaire tiled his head curiously.
“Not shutting up- ever- it is a warning E.” JD pinched off before they began to aimlessly wander the halls of Sorcerers. There were two things he learned rather quickly: this academy was a massive, labyrinthine thing and wherever everyone was hiding they were doing a good job. “I guess classes are in session- where is the administration? I demand to be greeted properly! Given a tour! Introduced to my classes! I need to take a nap- so send me to math!” JD enthused as they found themselves outside the front door once again-, “you have got to be kidding me.”
About that time he watched as his sister targeted some poor and unsuspecting boy. “E- I said no blokes and this quite obviously a boy.” It was then he glanced down at the oddly pensive fellow and pointed, “don’t get friendly with her chap- she isn’t going to date anyone here. Ignore all her flirtations- she is a she-devil in disguise. Go back to your book- goooo baackkkk…”
Volitaire chuckled. "Well, I'm always oblivious to flirts and sweet words. I was hoping to turn it into something more of a regular conversation. I wouldn't do well in these 'courtly' exchanges. But I wouldn't take her as a devil. I always have my benefit of the doubt towards others." Volitaire tried his hardest to smile, hiding how nervous he was talking to more than one person at a time.
Before Eos could get a word in, her brother had already begun to so rudely ruin her very important first impression. Sucking air through her teeth she gave JD a light smack on the shoulder. "Will you just take it back a notch? Or maybe several? Or maybe rip the whole knob off?"
Her honey colored eyes diverted back to the still unnamed boy, "Excuse my brother, he's a bit of a tart." She smiled once again, taking this opportunity to introduce them both.
"This bloke over here is JD, but more importantly..." She giggled, "... my name is Eos VanCise and we're both new here." And with that she reached out her dainty hand toward him. "And you are?"
