Thread: Vanguard Academia

(OOC: @Little Miss Eevee; That's absolutely fine.)

OOC: I'll probably not be able to post much in the near future. Anyway...

Jean had noticed that one girl hadn't come back from the forest. He learned later that she had broken her arm, and decided that he would go to the infirmary to see if she was alright. Also because he wanted to see if she was cute.

"Is there a Luna here?" He asked.

Marley and Will left the dorms together and they made it to the school together. "I wonder what are first class will be?" Marley asked. "Who knows..." Will replied. As they entered the school.

Sam had gotten up early from his room but had taken a lot of time to get to the classroom since he had to go pick up Leo. "Sorry for making us late, I couldn't wake up." Leo sighed in defeat as he and Samuel walked to class. He looked at the people around them, they all looking at Sam and staring at his uniform. Leo was already used to Sam getting a lot of attention but it was nothing like this.

"Don't worry about it, just focus on class today." Sam nodded his head without turning to look at Leo as they walked into the classroom.

Sayuri slowly woke up to the sound of her second alarm going off, she knew this because all of her alarms were programmed to play different sounds. Before she opened her eyes, she sensed that something was amiss. She was indirectly feeling something on her cat ears. It wasn't constant, but rather short and fleeting. She opened her eyes, and saw a girl with red hair and weird sunglasses and a dreamy smile kneeling next to her bed, stroking her cat ears. She instantly shot up, silently screaming and running to the other side of the room.

"Good morning. I didn't mean to disturb your sleep." The girl said, slowly standing and turning towards her. "Then again, maybe I was. Your alarm was going off, after all. Did you know that when you sleep, you purr like a little kitten? Oh, and your cat ears are so totally adorably adorable. And they feel so velvety! Oh, and your pajamas are adorable, too! What kind of cats are those?" She pointed to the cat faces that dotted Sayuri's pajamas, then seemed to change track. "Oh, whatever. Everything about you reminds me of a cat, so I'll call you Neko-chan! Is that okay?"

"..." Sayuri seemed too scared to respond, slowly inching towards her clothes drawers while keeping an eye on the girl that was apparently her roommate.

"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" The strange girl asked, giggling afterward. "Heh, see what I did there?"

"..." Sayuri's only response was a blink of surprise, then she quickly reached into her drawers, grabbed the first outfit she saw, and dove into the closet. She came back out a minute later wearing an all baby blue outfit. She started getting creeped out when she saw that the girl hadn't moved from that spot.

"Aww... I liked the kitties." The girl whined jokingly, glancing at the clock. "Shimatta! We're gonna be late!" She grabbed an aluminum bat from by her bed, strapped it to her back, and stood by the door. "Hurry up, Neko-chan!"

"..." Sayuri blinked and nodded, grabbing her ocarina off her dresser and putting it in her skirt pocket. She then grabbed her bow and quiver, strapping them on her back. As soon as she was done, the girl grabbed her hand and dragged her out the door, taking a moment to close and lock it before taking off.

"By the way, Neko-chan, my name is Akako. Some prefer to call me Ashley. You can call me either one. I don't care." Akako said as they ran, having to shout because of the wind whipping past them. They reached the building, prompting Akako to slow down a bit. "Now, let's see... where are we supposed to be?"

Sayuri secretly hoped Akako wasn't asking her, since she had no clue. She was still dizzy from the run, and could barely tell up from down.

James awoke at the sound of his alarm clock and got dressed, washed, and picked up his schedule. He checked it than set off
for his first class. Hr wanted to make a good first impression..or at least continue to do so.

Luna woke up in the infiramy, and stared at the cast on her right arm. She couldn't rememer what happened in the rainforrest, but she must have run into another monster or something. "Good thing I'm left handed..." she mused. She heard a guy ask a nurse if she was in the infirmary, but this made Luna confused. The only other person she even knew at the accademia was a guy named Will, and this guy was certainly not Will.

"You alright?" Jean asked Luna. "I'm your wake up call. Are you well enough to go to class? I can tell the teacher if you don't want to go."

(OOC: Sorry for the late posting. Crap happened with the internet. Now, class begins.

And @Grit;, no problem. Just post whenever you possibly can.)

Demi had already sat within the classroom, face in a book quietly. He had his scarf on, with covered the bottom portion of his face. He hadn't turned to look at his classmates who walked into the room. The boy sat near the front of back corner of the classroom, most likely to not be bothered.

It was only when he'd heard everyone sit down, that he decided to look up. They all seemed to chat within one another. He was the only one who decided to stay silent.

-----------------

With the class seated, a halo of white energy came to the front of the room. It glowed luminously, going over all of the seats of the class. Finally, it went to the front of the room, displaying the names of every student it had accounted for in alphabetical order.

Aedemi Yura
Akako Katomiya
James White
Jean Kubin
John Ulthridge
Leonardo Strike
Luna Rossi
Marley Walker
Samuel Strike
Sayuri Koneka
Will Akabara

Their names were shown on a digital holographic screen above the class, nearing the high ceilings.

"Your names have been displayed," came a soft voice. It was the halo. The halo descended down to the students, bringing down a bright light in front of them. The light cleared, showing a book lying on the table. 'Complete Basics to Spellcasting'. "Spellcasting class shall now commence," with that, the halo descended into the air. "Work is of your own volition."

That would mean that the students had a choice to either work or simply... converse with one another? That's a pretty unorthodox way of study.

Nevertheless, Demi chose to simply read.

Alright, so here's how things work. The teaching system of Vanguard uses an opt-in, opt-out system. Simply state in OOC or spoilers whether you want to opt-in to the lesson, or if you opt-out. If you don't post anything, you've opted out. I'm not going to send you anything late, unless your character does something about it (like go to study or something like that). I will send you what you need to read/do via PM. What you do with it is your choice.

So, Demi opts-in (naturally).

OOC: Both Samuel and Leo opt in

OOC John opts in.

John sat down in the class. He was desperate to learn and wanted to advance beyond his blue jacket. He heard the announcement. The lesson was Spellcasting. Good, he didn't know anything about that whatsoever, and was eager to learn. John grabbed a book and started taking down notes furiously.

OOC: James opts in.

James picked up a book and got to work. He was eager to learn just what he was capable of doing with the type of
magic he wielded.

((Akako and Sayuri both opt in.))

OOC: Marley and Will Opt in.

Demi was simply flying through the book he was given, already having memorized most of the first section. He had since moved onto the second section.
