Chayse
He was already snoring after answering that question, facing his head down on his chest as he slept. For a while, Chayse was just in that resting state, doing nothing before he stretched his hands again, yawning and waking up. The man looked around, noticing Beo still playing with the grass, not getting bored by it yet. Chayse also saw that almost everyone around him were talking with each other. For a second, he tried to go back to sleep, leaning on his left side with his eyes shut, but then he decided that maybe making some friends wasn't such a bad idea.

Standing back up, he looked around, seeing whether there was anyone who was unoccupied as he carried his backpack again. Chayse walked around the garden, just admiring the area for a while as the wolf followed behind, jumping around occasionally and playing around with the turf. He kept one of his hands inside his pocket, continuing to stroll around the area as he whistled until he noticed that there was someone sitting next to the fountain examining something he held in his hands.

Chayse decided to go over there, mostly because he wanted to talk to someone, and that less people were around the area, so he could possibly fall back asleep there if things got boring. Once he got there, he stood in front of the person casually, speaking towards him in a friendly manner with a smile.

"Hey there, haven't met you yet. The name's Chayse, nice to meet ya.", he said as Beo sat beside him, looking around for something else to do.

White looked at Alex, because he kind of forgot what he was supposed to do too. "Erm, um...." he mumbled, trying to think of something, "I don't know, really...."

He looked around. Other people were conversing. "I guess we just chill, then. I didn't really hear anything either." He kicked at the dirt. He should listen better. But still, he was pretty drawn into his book. Oh well. He mentally sighed.

As the student beside him turn and faced another female student, Rokudo quickly tighten his scarf around his neck so that he would be less nervous around these students. [Aw.. I should I do.... Hmm.. Maybe they would just probably be asking some question then leave... Hmm.. so it wouldn't be too hard for me to confront..] Rokudo slowly take his breath under his scarf as he thought to himself and tries to find some answers [I have to answer their questions calmly and it should also makes some senses as well.. Hmm.. Do not ruin this conversation no matter what..] Rokudo nod to himself once as he just came up with the best solution to not failed in a conversation with another students he met in this new academy. He look at both of them as they talk to each other, pretty much ready to answer their questions. Then as he expected, the first student faced his way once again and start to talk to him. But the question seems to have end up being an invitation from them which kind of leave Rokudo stunned for a slight second, but he quickly recover from it and answer "huh? Oh.. Erm.. Y-Yeah.. Sure.." He didn't really expected this but his answer just now seems to be the best option for him right now.

Aiden turned to the white haired boy and smiled nervously. "Y-yeah... He sure was..."

White turned to the boy who talked, "Yeah, I mean, where did those knives come from? Did he throw them? Didn't look like it."

"He might have an ability that allows him to to summon them... Wait, no, he said he'd show us where to buy them. I guess after so many years of hunting he just learned how to hide them well. Kinda scary." Melyssa speculated.

Aiden kicked the dirt and sighed. "I-it's probably his ability," he said. "Or he used a ritual to summon them."
He turned to White. "Uh... So... I was going to ask you something..."

White shrugged, "Fire away. Also, never caught your name, man."

Melyssa gave Aiden a smile and opened up a mental link "Don't freak out now, he's probably looking for a roommate too. Freak out and you screw up terribly." She sent the thought and waited for things to play out. "Hmm, a ritual huh." she murmured to herself.

Aiden started sweating upon hearing Melyssa. "Knowing that if I freak out, I'll screw up makes me even more stressed..." he answered. He extended his hand towards White. "Oh... right. My name's Aiden."

White shook Aiden's hand, "Pleased to meet you, Aiden. Now, what were you going to ask me?"

"Sorry, everything will be fine just take a deep breath and ask him. The worst he does is just say no. Just ask the question, if you falter I'll help." Melyssa urged

"R-Right... Here goes nothing." He tightened his grasp and let go a moment after. "I was looking... uh... well, like everyone else... I need someone to... you know..."

"He needs someone to room with, he's just terribly shy so he's having trouble saying it. He's a good person so you don't need to worry about him doing anything bad." Melyssa butted in, trying to keep Aiden from looking like an idiot.

White smiled, "I would be glad to," he said, "I was looking for somebody too. Glad I found you guys."

Aiden pouted, upset. "Thanks for saving me there..." He heaved a sigh and when he looked at White again, he was smiling. "Great!"

"Don't worry about it, just remember next time you speak to someone that there's nothing to fear. Well, unless they're evil and they're torturing you for information. Melyssa replied shutting down the mentaly link smiling.

"Cool!" White said. Maybe he could get to know this guy. Hopefully he is not a total failure at life. "What are your plans for the day?"

"Uh... Well... I was just thinking of settling down and drawing," he said in response, trying not to sound dull. "Do either of you have anything in mind?"

"Well, no," White said, "I was just going to read a bit, relax. So, you draw? Any good at it?" It was good to know that this kid actually did something.

"Well first we have to get through the next instructor, if it's not dark by then I'll probably go for a run and check out the library. Maybe do a little bit of training." Melyssa replied.

Aiden reached for his bag. "Training?" he asked as he pulled out a sketchbook. "What kind of training?" He handed it over to White and gestured for him to take it.

White took the Sketchbook and flipped through it. The kid was a great drawer, "Pretty legit stuff, man." He turned to Melyssa, "So, like Aiden said, what type of training did you want to do?"

"Mostly just target practice with my Glock, if I could find someone to practice with I might practice with my sword instead. It all depends. You guys are free to join me if you want." Melyssa answered.

"I'd be willing to spar with you," he said. "I have my own sword as well and I haven't practiced in some time so it would be nice to have a small training session."

"Thanks, I don't use mine too often so I'm not the best with it. It'd be really helpful. What about you, White? Wanna join us for a bit of spar?" Melyssa said.

White was a bit nervous, but he shrugged and said, "Sure, I guess. I'll probably get owned anyway." He wondered if he should use his knife. But, it had side effects. Oh well, he could give it a try.

Aiden sighed and smiled. "I'm just glad I have a roommate now..."

Melyssa smiled "Great! Guess we can all meet up after the next teachers introduction, then. You guys have your own weapons right?" She said and looked around them. Well now that Aiden has a roommate I guess I should go look for one now

"Well, yeah," Aiden said and pulled out a small yet sharp knife though it didn't look like it would be useful in combat.

White pulled out his knife and looked at it. It had been a long time since he had to use it. Hopefully he hadn't lost all his skill with it. He twirled it between his fingers. "Alright," he said, "Where are we going to do this?"

Melyssa looked at both of the boy's weapons. So small. How do either of them expect to fight demons with those. "We'll meet up at the courtyard, the one near our classroom. I don't know if we can fight there but we can at least meet up. We should ask a teacher if there's a certain place set up for practice."

"Ok then," White said, sheathing his knife, "meet you there." he started to walk to the courtyard, while reading his book. He made sure not to hit anybody, as he did not want to make any enemies.

Maple titled her head with a puzzled look- She had no idea what "Stationary Paper" was. "Oh, cotton and flax are all a bunch of jerks anyway!", she said, relaxed. "Chiseling stone tablets seems more fun, though! And they last longer!"

As she left the infirmary with Casey, Maple noticed many students were gathered in the courtyard. Last time she'd been at the courtyard it was empty (as is to be expected when students are in class, usually), so the contrast was unexpected. Following Casey into the yard, she somehow found herself standing awkwardly behind her, while she somehow spoke casually with multiple students. All of a sudden, Casey turned to face her. While the sun felt nice, she wasn't very confortable standing there idly while everyone chatted around her, so she took her up on the offer.

"Y-Yeah, sure, let's go!"

She glanced over to guy Cas had just invited in. It could be said she wasn't exactly very attentive to the previous conversation, so she had no idea who he was. Having recently learned the truth about the "paper genocide", she didn't exactly know wether trusting humans was a good idea, but Casey seemed okay with him, and she certainly looked nice enough.

"I guess I'll have to go with it" She thought as the three of them started walking.

"See-ya."Melyssa called after him with a stupid grin on her face, "Well this is a good day. I guess I'll go hunt myself down a roommate and catch up with you guys later huh? Of course you're free to come with, but I can handle myself pretty well and you probably won't be able to talk much. It'd probably be best for you to talk to others anyways. Well ciao for now." She directed this towards Aiden before walking off.

After leaving the others she waltzed up to the near center of the courtyard/garden/wherever we are now, and jumped atop one of the benches. Holdin a hand over her eyes she looked around the courtyard letting her eyes linger on any female, judging her possibility of rooming with them without ripping their heads off, very possibly literally. Hmm. I wonder if I look like a lesbian... What is my sexuality anyways? Oh well I'll worry about it later. Well sword girl doesn't seem like she wants anyone to approach. Maybe that other silver haired one. She thought looking towards the purple eyed girl alone on another bench.

Quickly jumping down she decided to give that one a try and approached her, slowly walking up to her with a calm confident gait, "Hello, I'm Melyssa. It's nice to meet you. Do you mind if I sit next to you and talk for a while? Of course you can just shoo me away if you don't want me to." She said, letting her eyes briefly scan over her, assessing her possible strengths.

((Ah, sorry for the wait Rob(I did tell you I wanted interaction and I made you wait). Sorry if I disappointed you in any way, shape,or form. Please don't abandon me. Sorry for the OOC post for the rest of you.))

Adam watched Alex swinging his pipe at some imaginary demon with amusement. Why does Alex use a pipe as a weapon? Adam pondered, then decided it didn't really concern him.

"Yeah, fighting demons would be great. As long as it works out better than last time I tried to fight one." Adam replied, "When I try it usually ends with me calling for professional hunters. Demons are pretty tough if you don't know what you're doing. On an unrelated note, what do you think will happen in rituals class?"

Chayse
He had noticed that the person had actually dropped the pendant out of surprise. Chayse decided to sit down on the edge of the fountain as well, looking around as he got himself down. Beo in the meantime just sat quietly, noticing a butterfly flying, he chased after it, playing around the structure as the wolf ran after the insect. Chayse smiled at the sight of the wolf playing around, finding it a bit amusing that such a small creature could grab such attention. He supposed that he shouldn't be thinking that too, as he himself didn't exactly have a long attention span.

Chayse, still smiling, talked towards the other person, hoping to try and start a conversation.

"Hey, nice pendant. Anyways, what's your name?", he said as he ran his hand on the water of the fountain, playing around with it as he made a few shapes with his finger.

((You worry too much, it's fine I won't abandon you, I'm happy that I've stopped being invisible))


The day was going fairly decently. The weather was nice, the one lesson that had been had simply been a test of wit it could seem like, and now there was time to kill until the next class. She guessed it was forced attendance due to, well, this being some form of an introduction. Normally, from what she had seen, the attendance to the classes was highly variable, and honestly, wasn't planning on going to any of them unless she felt an attraction towards them. She knew most of which would be taught anyway, with some small holes that she could live with.

It didn't take long before someone had approached her though. People, naturally. There were people here, she knew that... To some degree. While the children (Was it okay to call them children without knowing their age?) had been noisy enough in the classroom, they hadn't really bothered her much because well, she didn't need to do anything. Now however, she was close to obligated to answer.

"Well... It would be rude of me to shoo you away at this point, go ahead, have a sit" She pulled asides her clothes to avoid them spreading over large parts of the bench and made space for the girl. She didn't look particularly strong, but then again, appearance was deceiving. And as her eyes skipped over her, Amaris noticed that there was a holster for a handgun, so she guessed that the girl relied on firepower over pure strength and agility, which was fine really.

Mythril Sunbound
Mythril stared at the people sitting on various other benches such as those surrounding the fountain just as her bench was. “So many people, yet barely any in comparison to traditional schools which can have thousands and thousands.” “I think they only get around one hundred or two new hunters each year, though there was only around fifty students in your class, maybe there is less this year?” Mythril looked around once more, she wasn’t too fond of talking to others, she preferred to watch them. “It is like watching people is your favorite hobby or something.” Mythril scowled at Altimeus. “Shush, it’s interesting okay?”

Mythril watched students size each other up while merrily kicking her feet on the courtyard pitch, she also decided to look around at the scenery, the fountain made this courtyard kind of useless as any form of grounds for sporting activities or anything but the small hedges and things placed along the sides and in garden beds did make it look nice, especially for an institute that trained people to hunt demons. “It certainly is nice, i wonder who their gardener is.”

Looking around she noticed that people were shuffling about, at the opposite end of the courtyard to the reception-library-class building was a different building with a clock tower, this was one of the few buildings she had yet to find out what its purpose was. Disregarding first purposes, the tower had a clock, it looked as if around 45 minutes had passed, some of the students were heading back to the classroom where they had been just before. “I guess now’s the time to start heading to class?” Mythril picked up Swordy and carried it under her arm, making her way back towards the classroom at a casual pace.

When arriving at the classroom Mythril noticed a man in blue armor already heading into the room with books under one arm and what looked to be a large grey triangle under his other. -I guess that is our teacher, it’s nice to see that not all the teachers like to be late.- Mythril smiled and made her way in after him and some other students, taking a seat in the left aisle, away from the center. “I’m not making the same mistake as last time, it was like everyone wanted to crowd around me.” Mythril’s voice was a low murmur, aimed towards Altimeus. She shuddered before sitting down, few students had occupied this side.

Mythril had taken a seat in the second row once more, she still wanted to get a good view point, she checked to make sure she could clearly see the rectangle in the middle before moving one seat to her right. “There.” Mythril looked up at her ‘rituals teacher’ he looked fairly serious and at least twice as prepared as her last teacher. “I wonder what that triangle is.”

The teacher shuffled his things around on the desk, placing the triangle on the floor behind it, he didn’t seem to mind the students talking as he was preparing but Mythril thought she better stay silent when the class did start. “I don’t think he looks like the type of person to throw knives in class at least.” She looked at Swordy who was standing up to her left, she hadn’t bothered to push it down below the desk as no one was really sitting in the seat one row above her sword.

"Looks like there is still a bit of time before class starts." Mythril looked over at the teacher she had followed in, he obviously was preparing for something, most likely a ritual, hence the class name. "Oh well, this is sort of interesting ..." Mythril's voice trailed off as she watched the teacher fiddle around with what looked to be salt and pepper. "Maybe he still has not had lunch." Mythril gave a death stare riddled with annoyance to her weapon.

Rayth Albrigs

Rayth Shuffled his books around on the desk until they were in a neat order sitting with their spines facing the left. -Yes, perfect.- He looked down at the mysterious grey triangle on the floor, well, to him it wasn't mysterious but for the purposes of not allowing students to find out what was in the box before his class officially started it was just a mysterious grey triangle. -Dammit! I referred to it as a box, what if they know.- Rayth looked up, checking shiftily left and right to make sure no one was listening in. -Good, we are all safe.-

He went back to shuffling his books around, it's not like he had to order then in the way that they would be read, it's actually not likely he would read from any of them at all, still it was a nice thought to think; Having his books there just in case there is a chance that they would need to be read from. He pulled a glass jar containing sticks of chalk from one pocket and a phial of some black powder from another. Both items were placed on the desk next to his books.

"I think it is time to go back now, seeya in rituals class!" Adam told Mark and Alex before rushing back into the building and into the classroom.

Where shall I sit? Adam thought before choosing a seat in the front row, the second table from right wall of the room. Positioning his lantern pens and notbook on the desk, Adam looked up at the teacher. At least he is here on time Adam thought. The teacher gave off an air of authority and on first appearances seemed strict. He noticed the strange object the tracher had in his possession when he was entering the classroom, it was grey and triangular. What could it be? he pondered as he waited for the other students to enter.

"I suppose It would be, thank you anyways." Melyssa addressed the girl, making sure to keep her tone kind and polite after sensing a sort of mature atmosphere coming from the girl from the way she spoke and held herself. She'd learned that people seem to like it if you act a certain way around them awhile back when dealing with Celia's associates, and that posture and wording can give away hints.

She moved down to sit but stopped when she noticed that people were moving towards the building with a clock tower. Straightening herself she spoke once again "Hmm, how unfortunate. It appears class has started before we could talk. Oh well. Will you be going there as well or are you in a higher rank? If you are going we could walk together."

((You can assume she starts walking when she gets a response.))

"Perfect!" Cas grabbed both by their arms, hooking his own around their elbows. Walking so close together and with no possibility of escape, the devious little boy whisked away the pair of shy guys off into town. As the trio walked past the bridge and entered the town proper, Cas pointed out a few places he liked, such as the place where he got his bagels from. He then pointed out another spot, a floating bar near the edge of the town, slowly approaching. "Gravo's Residence," he said, "Good food there, so I heard. Came for a special kind of lily growing in the mountains once. Good place to eat every now and then, though their food can be strong."

Soon enough, they happened upon the market place, weaving their way through various stores. Here Casey dragged Maple around, buying her random nature friendly stuff, such erasable ballpens, stationary paper, a bag to hold stuff in, made of faux leather so she would look classy but not cry every time she opens it. As for herself, she bought a few crystals, each storing 25 units worth of energy, but locks it in its current state. "Useful for bombs, or stronger, cheaper bullets. Pretty limited though," she remarked, turning over a few of them before buying. She turned to Rokudo afterwards, a questioning look on her face. "Well then, what are you buying?"

[[Edited because apparently it's after lunch. So we're skipping the meal. Just buying random stuff. Go go go]]

"Looks like class is starting," Aiden said to White. "Let's get back. See ya!"
He started sprinting through the halls, avoiding any students in the corridor with skill. He ran in the classroomm, seeing the professor was already there. Cursing under his breath, he clenched his fists. He looked at the seats and sat at a random spot. I wonder where Melyssa is...

After Rokudo replied the question, Casey instantly grabbed him and the other female student by their arm and start the trip to the town. He follow the two students silently as they take look at some stores in town, [Ermmm..... This was kind of sudden... But well, I never actually took a tour around the town yet.. Since The time I arrived here and the time where the school starts is very close to each other.. so.. This trip might actually been a good choice] a slight smile appear on his face as he nodded once [but still.. taking a tour with other students is kind of unexpected.. for me..] a couple of thoughts appear on his mind as he continue to follow the two.

Once the three arrived at the market places, both Casey and the other girl start to visit many shop and purchase stuff along the way. As Rokudo aimlessly follow the two students, he come across neat looking Swords shop which sells various type of swords. The shop certainly took his interest, so Rokudo decided to stop by at this shop when the other two are busy looking at other shop. There are indeed a couple of sword that looks unquie in design so Rokudo picks up the best one out of the option he limited from the entire store, he didn't bring a lot of money with him for this trip so he can only get his hand on one sword at this time. Once he finished with purchasing his sword, he quickly keeps it in his vault so the sword doesn't stand out in this crowded market. After he finished with his business, Rokudo ran after the two students who went ahead of him about two or three stores away. [oh.. It seems like they didn't finished yet..] he stood near the two students as they look at some store nearby. Then Casey faced back at him and ask if he decided to buy anything, Rokudo carefully reply to the question Casey asked him "Oh.. I already brought mine.. from the shop we just passed on our way here.."

Chayse
He looked at the person a bit confused, knowing that this was really just a school for hunters, not terrorists or secret agents. Chayse then smiled again, standing back up and shaking off the water from his hands and following next to Urubael. As he walked towards the class, he whistled out loud, getting Beo's attention. The wolf turned its head immediately and sprinted towards Chayse, stopping and just walking quietly behind him. As they approached the class, Chayse looked at the person beside him, smiling mischievously and speaking towards him again.

"Come ooooon... no need to be so secretive... what's your name man?", he said eagerly as he entered the classroom, not yet noticing the new teacher currently in front.

Amaris stretched her neck and looked over at all the students. Well, all was probably an exaggeration, but there were at least some students moving towards the next class. “I assume you’re right” She replied, standing up besides the girl. She remembered that she hadn’t introduced herself - As a matter of fact, neither of them had. “Oh, I’m starting this year. Been living here for a while, but haven’t bothered to get a rank” She replied to the girl while starting to walk besides her towards the school building. “I forgot to introduce myself earlier, Amaris, nice to meet you” She said as a finishing line, looking at the girl with a kind smile.

“Nice to meet you too, Amaris. My name’s Melyssa but feel free to shorten it however you like.” The girl said returning the smile. “Hmm so you’ve been here for quite a while then huh? How are the dorms? The school looks impressive enough so I’d assume they’d meet up with the rest of it.” She looked up as they entered the building.


“Okay then…” She spent some time thinking of a fitting shortening, before just settling with what she found most fitting. “Mel it is then” She looked at the girl while she was studying the exterior of the school, and yes, it was indeed quite grand. Miles ahead of some standard school, for sure. “The dorms are quite good, really” She said simply. “A lot better than what I had expected, even from a place like this” She tried to think of anything else to say. “The winters can be a bit cold though, but that’s about it” Well of course, the winter was usually cold, so it made sense.

Melyssa nodded, listening intently as the girl spoke. Well at least the nickname’s fitting. “Good quality, then. My thoughts of living here has just gotten a bit better. Now all I have to do is find a roommate and I’ll be able to rest at peace with my living arrangements.” She cheered happily. Oh wait that’s what I was here to talk to her about. Oh well I can always just see how she reacts and maybe bring it back later. As they entered the room the kelpie looked around the place looking for an empty spot in the desks “Don’t prefer to sit in a certain spot do you?”

“Hmm…” Amaris started, thinking. Her dorm was by far big enough to make space for another person… Plus, the rent would be heavily decreased as she wouldn’t have to pay for the dorm alone anymore. However, she would actually have to start using a day/night cycle, which she wasn’t looking too much forward to. It would slow her work down a lot, something she kenw she wouldn’t appreciate. “I guess… I guess you could have the spot in my dorm… I should probably clean away some of my papers, but if I remember correctly, there was another bed in there…” Cleaning wasn’t exactly her strongest side, as the room easily told away. The floor was barely visible anymore due to all the papers spread out on it, simply because there was no better place to put them, and she didn’t bother putting them away. She entered the room by Melyssa’s side and looked around herself. Of course, any desk would do, it didn’t seem like it’d matter much in this case.

“Ah, really? Thanks. I could help you organize and clean up a bit if you want. I’m not the best at cleaning but I can keep a room fairly clean.” Melyssa replied, greatly relieved. She picked a seat in the first row of the rightmost block. “I do have something to attend to after I settle in a bit; though, promised a few guys that I’d practice a bit of sword fighting with them. It is my secondary weapon so I need a bit more practice with it. Ah, by the way, you are human right? Sorry to ask but there are just so many different species going here and if I room together with someone I’d prefer to know if they’d transform into a werewolf at night. Not that I’d mind but it’d be a bit of a fright.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll do the cleaning. It’s not going any particular place at the moment, it’s just lying around because I have nowhere better to put it. I’ll find space somewhere, no worries” Amaris replied casually, sitting down next to Melyssa. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to hold you in a leash” Amaris replied with a calm and mature tone, leaning back into the chair, looking at the teacher getting ready. She would probably have joined them, but her sword was too close to breaking - at this point, she was relying on pure luck, hoping that it’d hold till she found a new one she liked. She guessed her next sword was going to be from the same armor she got her left arm from, but yet, it wouldn’t matter if her sword broke at this point.
She looked over at Melyssa as the girl started defending herself in a desperate manner, or at least it sounded fairly desperate from her point of view. “You talk too much, you know that? I’m human, I’m not going to bite you, eat your soul and so forth” She replied, looking forward again.

Melyssa tilted her head to the side thinking for a bit, “Hmm. I suppose I do. I didn’t really have many friends to talk to when I was little, so I’ve never really learned the context of too much. No one really lived around that little river. Anyways I’ll take your word and not expect any surprises. Now have you ever heard of a kelpie?” she asked sinking further into her seat and looking at the front of the room where the teacher would give their speech.

“You’re not the only one, I guess I grew up rather lonely as well. At least the beginning of my life. To be honest, I still don’t really like people, though I have to admit that some are quite interesting…” Amaris started thinking a little, leaning forward so her elbows touched the desk, leaning onto the palms of her hands. “A kelpie…” She spent some time thinking. “Wasn’t that… Those creatures that lived in rivers and would charm people before drowning and eating them?” It was probably a rather grotesque image she had of them, but that was what she remembered, she hadn’t really cared too much about them since she hadn’t expected to meet one, her parents had told her that it was a pretty doomed race, and that was good enough for her.

“I like most of ‘em. Very few can understand the mind so people are always a mystery that can only be solved by getting to know them.” Melyssa listened to the girl give her explanation of the kelpie, “Yeah, that’s pretty much it. I wouldn’t exactly call it charming, more like deceiving them. A nasty bunch most of them are, but there is a way to force them into servitude.” She hoped the older girl was starting to get an idea.

Amaris nodded shortly after Melyssa was done with her presentation of what Amaris guessed was her own race. She decided not to dig further into the servitude mention that Melyssa gave, and rather ask about it later instead.

Maybe it's a hat, his lunch, something to do with rituals class? I have no idea. Adam continued to ponder what the teacher's triangular object could be. He snapped back to reality and looked around the class, a few more seats were filled but not that many.

Maybe I'm early? Adam wondered. He looked out the window and saw a few students taking their time.

Adam took out his notebook and looked over the notes he had written before he got to the academy, there was a ritual and a couple of potion recipes in there. I wonder what sort of rituals we will learn. He read over one of the potion recipes, he got one from a silghtly mad alchemist for helping after he blew up his lab. Adam smiled at the memory of that crazy alchemist.

((hey, I wont be around for like, a long time, so lets just say White dropped off the face of the Earth. SOrry to disappoint :)))

Adam watched the somewhat feline student inspect his bow a few tables from where Adam was sitting, as he did this he wondered Was that student here in the last class? No, I don't think so. He must be very late.

Adam, who was finding waiting without someone to talk to rather tedious, got up and walked to the table where the somewhat feline student was sitting. He placed his lantern and other stuff next to a chair.

"May I sit here?" Adam asked as he held out his hand for a handshake, "I'm Adam, nice to meet you."

I have met so many students today and it is wonderful! Adam thought, I hope I can remember everyone's names.
