He's watching
"Well ain't this a nice little gathering? It reeks of drama in here." Suddenly out of nowhere a tall man would be at the front of the classroom. "You know I decided to hide and see what you people would do. I have to say... I'm quite disappointed in how immature you people can be."


He had on a white suit and silk hat. Besides that the only other noticeable features were his black shades. "My name is Alphonse Jones, I'll be instructing aura usage. Just a bit of a warning, you guys so much as to start a fight then I'll make sure you're expelled. You heard the headmaster earlier back didn't you? I don't want fights in here. Being a certified gear user requires that you keep yourself level-headed. That slight bit of drama can cause a lot of issues later on. Any questions before we start? And don't think about giving me sass or sarcasm. I'll just expel you or something." He would stand still as he awaits any possible questions.


Teacher is here. That's it. React or not.

Merrick, was at a complete loss for words regarding the mention of phallic objects. He found himself unable fathom the connection between administration and marital aides. He ultimately surmised that the whole argument was young people being stupid, himself included. In front of him stood a rather cranky instructor who while commenting how he and some of his more vocal classmates were being immature, also felt it necessary to threaten expulsions being handed out like free samples at the super market.

Poor form, boss man.

However Merrick did not seem to learn from his previous (literally just now) interactions with others and thought it a capital idea to attempt to defuse the situation.

"No, it's okay we were... just quoting a really offensive movie. I think Tarantino directed it, which would explain why everything was so vulgar and whatnot. Yeah, sorry about all that."
 
Xyanus turned around when the teacher came up and gave his little speech about 'being mature' and 'no fighting' with some more arbitrary things. Her first thought was 'damnit' she had been trying to get the girl to attack her in someway and get her expelled maybe perhaps get the others to do so too. "We were simply getting to know eachother with more, intimate dialogue sir." She said pridefully "for instance, in our current exchange of words we were able to learn that the girl's pendant is a weapon, the scared one has had previous experience with a gear and the dark and cloudy one has had less than successful relationships with ghosts and/or his hands." She gave the teacher a bright smile. "we werent attempting to start any fights just using todays language. 'slang' as you may, from whatever the scared one said." Giving the teacher a analytical glare, he didnt look like much, just some poor old tired man who had the fortune of being a teacher at this school.

Michael Baros, aka Lunar
Location : A-5, aka Ring boxing classroom.

Lunar scratched his back head with a rare doleful look of him. She was definitely a rare case of personality. "I admire your way of acting, really. Why do you seem obsessed with triggering people ? I can't understand demons way of thinking, really." Before he could add more, the teacher named Alphonse silently came and put deep silence inside the classroom for a short while. Lunar would have done a subtle joke with late ticket toward the teacher, but the mention of expulsion soon dismissed this idea. He nodded at Merrick statement, and just agreed agaisnt his will with the last statement he just heard. Relationship ain't his goal and he didn't care about it, but his hand weren't dirty at all. He went away discretly from the group, glancing and smiling at Luka with a short nod before sitting on a chair. Maybe the discussion with Luka and, or Merrick could take place after the class without troubling persons around.

Vega had merely chosen to ignore all of the bigots and their arguing. Troublemaking was one thing, but making everyone in class hate you? That was just foolish. "So, sensei," Vega started as he looked up at him. "I have a question that's more along the line of a theory of my mother's work." Vega probably shouldn't ask this question but it was necessary to figure out how he could bind these animals to his person. "Is it possible for a human, even a genetically engineered one, to have an unstable aura? One that could allow them to do things that even normal aura users couldn't do. So far, every expert I've asked has said no because the instability of aura would mean that the being couldn't hold a physical form in this world. Do you believe this theory or not?" This was the one thing Vega wanted an answer for. Experts have all told him no, but were never 100% sure after seeing his ability. He wanted to see if Myra's would be the same.

Egala turned to the young man. "Not so much first day jitters as first day paranoia. I'm worried we may have combat classes immediately at which point I would rather not participate." Egala avoided speaking further as she didn't want to admit to being a half-breed or that her other side was so violent and........direct. She listened to the others argue and mention her, insulting her even. But she merely kept the calm smile on her face. "What about you Kale? You seem to be pretty accustomed to this. Not as accustomed as Luxe over there, but accustomed enough not to feel nervous." She continued her conversation, but looked surprised when the teacher appeared. "Good morning Master." She bowed as best she could in her seat. In all of her private lessons she'd referred to her teachers as master, calling them Sir or Madame never felt quite like giving enough respect to those that were instructing her. She then sat quietly as she listened to them come up with excuses rather than just admit they were wrong. "Are all of the students going to be as shameless?" She looked to Kale as if he'd know the answer.

Luka was ready to go at it with the succubus unti the teacher appeared. Luka walked away and into an empty seat out of embarrassment, "W-whatever they said." he said as he sat down hearing everyone's excuses. He then mumbled to himself "I'm not even a girl...". Luka was embarrassed and intimidated at the same time. He then thought to himself, 'Aura usage huh? I might excel here'. He then looked at Merrick and Lunar hoping that they can continue talking after class.

" I'm far too lazy to be excited, I think, and my interest in what's to come with our time here might be enough to keep my head on straight despite the...eccentricity of some of our classmates. Luxe seems to be far more acclimated to the abnormal than most, however," Kale said, laughing to himself as he watched Luxe literally hop into the seat beside Renae. As the commotion across the room grew louder and more aggressive, his smile was replaced with a frown, and he returned to his book, unwilling to acknowledge the annoyance. He taps the book's spine against his desk lightly as he speaks again.

" Well from what little I've learned about our peers, I would have to say... without a doubt, Madame. I would also say that fighting may be expected, but far from required. Aura has more uses to us all beyond the violent sort. Healing, building...With a bit of time, I'm sure you'll find something that suits you. So try not to worry yourself over it...And ignore them, alright?"

Kale smiled, his eyes only leaving the pages of his book for a moment to look into hers before going back.

"Nope! No idea, really. Hey, maybe-"

Luxe went silent as the group of unfamiliar students started to get louder, only to be silenced by the teacher. He turned away uncomfortably, mumbling as he swung his foot gently under their desk.

"I guess you won't be able to fight like you wanted to in this place...unfortunately..."

Shaking his head, Luxe laid his head against the desk and smiled once more as he poked Ren on her shoulder.

"So! what brings such a beautiful young woman here? Did you want an adventure? Were you just bored with the way things were? Weeell?"

James Victor 'Franky' Rogers-Caretaker
Location: Myer's Gear School- Equipment/Repair room
Time: 10:00am​

As the students get settled into their rooms and made their way to their first lesson, Franky settles into his daily routine. Making sure the stuff that needs to work, is still working and not currently in more parts than a jigsaw puzzle. Making his way towards the back of the school, the homunculus lets himself into what he likes to call his workshop, but what is officially called the store and repair room. Sitting down in a large well-worn leather chair, the steel frame showing in more than one area, Franky sets to work looking for today's project. Some of the practice dummies, used in the more combat ordinated lessons, have been on the fritz again. Happens a lot with the punishment they take, which Franky feels won't be doing anything but increase with the crop of students they have this year. Sighing, he gets to work, pulling a screwdriver, tweezers and loupe out a red toolbox, with hinges that squeak and paint that had come off in multiple places. Despite what his appearance may lead to believe, James cold be very delicate when it came to repairing work, being able to pick apart the wires and fix it up in no time. Though his enhanced strength does help as well, such and when he bent the robot's metal exterior into shape before closing back into place. Grabbing a few screws and a drill, James sighs muttering "You think they might learn that these things can't stand up against blasts like that".
 
Renae kept her eyes on the teacher as she spoke. "I will admit I was looking forward to the physical lessons of this school, but I'm fine with classroom lessons too. As long as there's something new to learn." Luxe's next comment however snapped Renae's attention from the teacher. "Beau-what?" She brushed a lock of hair from her forehead. "Ahem- I mean, I was hoping that this place would teach me how to become stronger, like the headmaster. It's not easy being human nowadays..." She managed to meet his stare. "Adventure would probably be the best way to describe it, I guess."

Well, it wouldn't hurt to ask... right? Renae raised her hand. "Excuse me, sir - but what is an aura?"

Luxe wanted to smile at Freckles' response to his statement but chose to feign ignorance, simply nodding to her declaration about wanting to grow stronger. As her attention diverted to the teacher, Luxe glanced down at the desk. With a shrug off his shoulders, Luxe pressed a finger against the surface, and closed his eyes.

Reaching deep down into himself, Luxe touched on the small core of heat within and as he did, the desk burned where he touched it, a light trail of smoke following as his finger traced across the surface in the shape of a flower. After repeating the action a few times until a well styled rose was left behind. Luxe turned away and whistled, looking around the room for something interesting to happen.

Renae observed Luxe's fingerpainting intently. "You demons never pass up an opportunity to show off." She muttered, rolling her eyes. Her interest in conversation, however, was surpassed by her fear of getting punished for it - and Ren instead elected to await the teacher's response quietly.

Luxe frowned, his cheeks turning red as he turned towards Renae again. His gaze quickly settled on the floor, however. "I...I was just bored..." His legs curled up closer to his chest, and he allowed his head to rest on his knees as he continued. "A-and...I'm not a demon, Freckles. I'm sorry."

Renae blushed, afraid that she may have just offended one of her first friends in a long while. "No- I mean... sorry, I didn't mean to generalize." She cringed, putting her head on her forearms. "I should've asked before I opened my mouth." The cringing continued for a few seconds until she realised something. "Hold on..." Ren looked up. "Did you just call me... 'Freckles'?"

"It's alright. I know it has to be confusing, being surrounded by people who do weird stuff all the time." Luxe said, smiling slightly as he stared at Renae. After she asked about being called freckles, he simply blinked and shrugged. Luxe ran his thumb over the etching he'd made on the table as he replied. "I like your freckles, so I thought freckles would be a decent nickname. You don't like it?"

"No, it's just- nevermind. Guess this is the first time I've had a nickname." Renae looked back at Luxe, then at his hair, then back. After a moment, she pointed at him. "Your nickname is now Red." Was her decisive declaration. Even her own hair didn't compare to his blood red shade. "Y'know, 'cause red hair and stuff." It took some effort to not avert her gaze elsewhere.

Luxe gave Renae a peace sign in response, his smile growing wider as he chuckled, slightly louder than he'd meant to.

"Hehehehe! That sounds good to me! Red, huh? Awesome! I love it, Freckles!"
 
Location: Myer's Gear School - Class A-5

Time: Roughly around the morning time. Approximately 10 A.M or so. 10 minutes after announcement was made. Class has just started

Class Session

First he looked to Merrick. "Say something like that again and it's detention. I've read up your file. I don't have tolerance for for that sort of thing. I expect you to be on your best behavior." Then he looked to Xyanus. "Don't take me for a fool. I take my job seriously you know. Being a Gear User means that you have to be observant. I was observing all you while I was in hiding. Lie again and I'll make sure you also get detention. As for the rest of you... just please try and get along with your classmates. You won't be here for too long but the most important part of being a Gear User is to work with those that you don't like, especially clients."

Alphonse looked to Vega and answered his question with earnest. "To answer your question: Aura is energy dormant within every living being. As such it can manifest in a variety of ways. Genetically-engineered people, such as homunculus, have had cases where they have a much higher content of aura then what people usually start off with. Theoretically it's possible that such aura is highly unstable and can result in loss of control." He would scratch his head as much of it was still being researched. "So in theory, the answer to your question is yes. There have been cases of people losing control over their own aura and fading away into insanity."



After giving his stern warning, he would look to Renae. "As I have said to Vega, aura is energy that is dormant within every living being. It can be awakened as a result of emotional and/or physical stimuli. With aura, people have been able to show power greater than any typical weapon could ever show. Usage of and mastery of the basics of aura are required to use a gear for several reasons. 1) Gears are weapons infused with the souls of creatures. Aura is tied to the soul and of course to truly use a Gear means having the ability to control aura. 2) Improper use of a Gear can lead to health consequences. A Gear can tap into a user's aura for power and if someone isn't experienced enough... they can and will die."

He would then clear his throat. "Now today... well today we'll be learning about the different principles of Aura. Any questions before we begin?"


Lesson time.
 
"Best behavior, lest detention, aye." Merrick aknowledged Alphonse's statement with the militant litany he'd been taught in his early years. He listened to the instructor's brief rundown on the basics of gear and auras he'd heard it all before but never bothered to question, until now.

"Regarding the part where gears are made from souls..." He began "How exactly is that happening? Like, how are we able to take something's soul and just up and stuff it into another thing?"

Merrick met Alphonse's gaze and awaited his answer.

Ren smiled at Luxe's reaction to her newly found nickname, even if it wasn't exactly a Shakespearean-esque creation. When the teacher responded to her question however, Renae felt more confused than before she'd asked the question. "I have... dormant energy?" She blinked. Merrick seemed to be thinking the same thing, as he asked the question she was about to prompt herself.
 
Xyanus sat back down with a "hmpf" after the teacher spoke what he believed to be true, she put her boots on the desk taking a comfortable position. She could hear the insects comment on her but she didnt mind it, after all being spoken about is the first step to recognition and therefore fame, and fame meant clients. Clients meant power, she couldnt care less about the currency involved, she didnt need that, what she needed was influence. She was about to yawn until the teacher started talking about auras and such, "What about those not of this realm? and what if the user has multiple abilities? or has a weapon? what will this gear look like? is it all customized?" She wondered if she could give her less talented abilities a touch up rather than rely on her main ablitily all off the time which, wasnt troubling but it would be nice to have more than one useful ability.
