Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

Espinosa blinked at the sudden appearance of Rasputin. "I am the History Teacher and it is Aurora Espinosa, Miss Espinosa to the students. As for an Archaeology Expedition..."She smiled as she pulled off her satchel from the chair as she pulled out a stack of papers. "I was already planning on it! I've got legal waivers ready for them to sign and everything! It'll be a fun trip, and I could always use another set of hands Rasputin. For this one I have planned it'll be a trip to the Valley of the Kings." Espinosa was speaking with unbridled enthusiasm, "I plan on incorporating today's lesson to relate to the field trip as I teach them about Pre-war Egypt." She glanced at Skyia, "And everything huh? Well then we'll start with Pre-War history." Espinosa beamed a smile.
 
"So this is my room? At least it's fitting for one such as myself." he said as he entered his room on the top floor. Already barely foot in the door and his Spirtia was flowing all over the room as it tailored the room more to his liking. After all if he is to live here for a while it should only be the best! Resting on his king sized mattress with 2000 micro coils atop a down comforter filled with down from Phoenixes and Cynnamolgus. Which hid a 2400 thread count of expensive Laurenthian cotton dyed with Tyrian purple and inlaid with platinum, orichalcum, and mythril threads mixed to give it a delicate sheen. However he could not rest for too long as he too had classes to attend and it would make a bad impression if he were to be late.
 
Emily's phone rang, she quickly answered it and began to talk.


"Hello?"


" Emily? Are you ok?"


" What are you talking about"


"Those things came back, they were looking for you"


"What? How is that even possible?"


" You said that if I didn't use my powers they wouldn't find me"


" I know, i´ll explain later, just. Go somewere safe"


"What if they break in?"


"I dont know"


The call ended, Emily froze for a couple of minutes, then she quickly ran back to her room, knowing it was classtime. "I´ll go to my next class, right now, I need to focus and try to avoid any trouble"


"


 
Mr. Khan backed away as he watched the students make their move. However, before even five steps could be taken, one of the students had already quit. Mr. Khan made a quizical expression, that is, he shigged the digs. The teacher limply raised his right hand to reach toward Lerrus, but was slightly put off by how anticlimactic the fight was. "Uh... huh" Mr. Khan folded his arms and nodded. "Well, I'm sure there's a lesson in that somewhere... uh... back to your seats?"


Arms still folded, Mr. Khan pointed outwards to one of the students that had a question earlier. He wasn't quite sure exactly which one asked what save for the more inane questions by the 10-year-old. "You were the kid who asked about why big guys needed martial arts right? Well, I came up with an analogy. Pretend your body is a gun. Regardless of how much firepower it packs, it can't do anything unless it has bullets. Skill is the bullets. The difference between skill and bullets though, is that skill doesn't run out as fast." Mr. Khan babbled. "Lerrus" he addressed the student, breifly looking at his roll chart. "You could have won that one easily." he declared.


"'But he's all magical and I don't!'" Mr. Khan mocked. "Well, a wise man once said "Give me a hole or I shall make one myself..." I don't care if he didn't have a weakness or if you appeared weaker. That kind of defeatist mindset sickens me. But it could be your style..." Mr. Khan scibbled down a few notes.


"Well, class is almost over. Next class time we're meeting in the gym. Remember to dress, and don't be late. You're all dismissed."
 
Curtis stowed his yet unused tape recorder in his bag, letting out quiet "Excuse me"'s as he shuffled between the rows, doing his level best to avoid knocking over any desks in his hurry to get to a less violent class. Once he had sort of crab-walked through the doorway and out into the hallway, he checked his schedule. Next it looked like he had... Oh! Ms. Espinosa, his advisor. Hopefully it the subject would be a bit more peaceful.
 
Lily listened to Bunny intently. It was important to note the details of the story, after all. Also it was important to listen to friends. She managed to remain detached up until a point, but became visibly furious and indignant at Bunny's mention of being forced upon.


Lily understood that type of trauma to a degree. It was absolutely unforgivable.


"Men," she muttered.


Of course that manner of behavior was par for the course when it came to the male sex. Even then, Richter was shouting something about timing her tears. Who even did that?


Lily wrapped her arms around the little Angel, and held her tight.


"Just doing whatever they want... never thinking about anyone else... the ********..."


And if what Bunny said was true, the rest of them sided with the guy and got her kicked out of Heaven. That was just disgusting.


"I'm so sorry, Bunny. I... I believed it too, even when I was supposed to be your friend."


There were still a lot of things about Bunny's whole situation that seemed suspect, but even though Lily was aware of them, she wouldn't bring it up now. What type of person would openly doubt a friend after having something like that confided in them?


Besides, it was best to stay like this. If Bunny really was a liar, it would be smartest to keep her near anyways. As far as Bunny was concerned, Lily was a good friend that believed every word that came out of her mouth.
 
"Hmm..."


-What Mr. Khan said really makes sense... I guess I understand what Kylier was telling me a long time ago a little better-


As Azure tried to get up and out of his seat, Kylier had already gone over to him, and body blocked him


"Azure, I need to speak with you again..."


Kylier looked toward the door, seemingly uncertain...


"At least at some point... I may be busy with other matters as it stands..."


"..."


With that Kylier let Azure be on his way... for once...??


-I wonder, why she just let me go...-


Putting that thought aside, he went over to Rose. He was glad to see that she didn't appear hurt anywhere as far as he could tell


"Rose, you don't have anything to do now right? I... kinda have a lot I need to talk to you about... I've been doing some thinking lately... and I have a lot of important things I need to tell you if you have time... privately if we can please..."
 
Lerrus smiled. He didn't care how people viewed him, though he expected at least his teacher to know his power so also to know why for the safety of the student, as well as his current effort levels, why he didn't use magic himself.


While everyone began shuffling out, Lerrus walked beside the teacher and stopped, as if just for a little chat.


"Sir I assume you've been filled in on me. Which includes my ability. If you go into a magic fight, you take magic, well usually. I'm not such a showy person when it comes to my rather...volatile power though. Besides, I think we all preferred someone didn't take another's eyes out on the first day."


He then walked out to the next lesson. Uh....what was his next lesson?


Ah shit, I've forgotten.


Tapatalk is being used for this post.
 
Mr. Khan sighed. "You'll learn soon kid" he assured "you'll learn soon. I won't teach you fighting just to take out a guy who's also unarmed- that'd just be silly. I mean, you'll learn that, but you still have to learn to defend yourself against people who have some type of advantage over you. That's unarmed combat... That fighting style you used. Krav Maga, it looked like? The very basics of that style are literally teaching you to fight dirty against someone with a weapon- but that short display back there made it look like you were devaluing your own fighting style." The teacher sighed again. "The point is kid, life isn't fair. That's why you fight."


The teacher watched his students leave the room. He waved goodbye to his students as he gathered up all his paper work into one pile and stuffed them into a folder, which he later put in his briefcase next to the worksheets. He opened his desk revealing a tub of whey, opening it and reaching in for the scoop, pouring the powder into his mouth.


"Damn kids" he grumbled.
 
"Oh? Oh." Anya said, getting up from her desk. Class felt short, but that was okay in its own way. She supposed she had a minute to see Lily before next class. She wondered what she even had to do that she couldn't go to class today.


Whatever it was, the cat was pretty sure it could stand a visit from her best friend, if only for a moment.
 
Bunny mentally pat herself on the back as Lily showed a visible emotional reaction to her lie. She believed her. But of course she would. Bunny had spent millenia watching and studying acting in all its forms. She watched humans for hours on end, and often started some drama, to study their facial expressions and reactions. She knew how to pull on someone's heart strings.


Richter, however, was being an ******* but he was always one. She still didn't forgive the guy for all the teasing. She'd have to find a way to deal with him later. Perhaps slip it to his employer how he fed off one of his students and attacked another. Regardless of his intentions, she believed he'd have a hard time getting out of that one.


Stopping her tears but keeping the slight sniffles, she rubbed her eyes. "I-it's okay, Lily. I know you were just protective of Anya. It's not your fault."


~~~~~


After class ended, Rose noticed Azure approaching her. She gave him a smile. "Hi Azure. I'm glad you look better now." She became confused as he asked her to talk, and privately at that. Why would he want to do that? She couldn't think of a reason of why they'd need to talk privately. But she couldn't think of a reason to deny him either. She had some time before her next class started so why not. "Um . . . Sure. This way."


She lead him to an empty classroom, not scheduled for use until later in the day. Placing her books on a desk, she turned to him. "So, what did you want to talk about?"


(I'll post for Riff and Vash in the morning.)
 
"..."


-If Kylier was here... she'd probably mock me over doing this... or something about relationships..... and make a big deal over this...-


"Well... I have a lot to say... but I'm going to start slow first....."


With a sigh, Azure began talking


"For one... I've been threatened to be expelled on the spot if I don't join the upcoming trip..... and... its the first time I've heard of it, so I thought that you might know something about it. I can't afford to be expelled from this school..."


Azure looked away a bit, thinking over some bad memories of his with a grin on his face.
 

Elaem




​



Elaem was still a bit pissed at the fact that guy simply quit and was saying something about unfair advantage, then the teacher was saying he could have easily won, please, it seemed like the students seemed to agree with the fact that he just was a sore loser but on the other hand Elaem did feel the way they treated the guy was unfair and that the advantage was there. But hey, he was born with the eyes, he can't just gouge them out for new ones, the boy was also saying something about taking Elaem's eyes out due to magic, was he an idiot? Did Elaem not just specifically say that his eyes were not magic, his destructive magic seemed just as stupid as its master. Either way Elaem needed to make his way to the next class, he walked past Azure and noticed he was looking well, he acknowledged him for a split second by nodding at him and then looking at his schedule, he walked to his next class quickly.





(sorry for shortness)
 
Curtis crab-walked through the door, nodding to Ms. Espinosa and the snake-girl and the skeleton- he probably should have spoken, but snakes and skeletons made Curtis nervous- and shuffling to the back so as not to block anyone's view. He retrieved a tape recorder from his bag, placing it on his desk before sitting down. He let out a little sigh, relieved that he hadn't broken anything on his way to class.

Poofing into the classroom in a uniform that was as well designed and did not match with the school uniforms. He took a seat for his first class on his first day in this school. Looking at the clock it seems he was right on time although judging by how empty the room was. He wondered if the school was more than lax with its time keeping. Still he sat there silently but enthusiastically waiting to make his introduction.
 
Espinosa glanced at Skyia, "Oh I will let you know I offer tutorial services. Also feel free to see me after class regarding any concerns you may have about your studies." She then turned to Rasputin, "Oh can you pass out the waivers, also keep an eye on any unruly students, as you already did earlier with that one you mentioned." She noticed Curtis enter and have a friendly wave, "How has your day been so far? Any concerns with your studies?"


Then she noticed Josue enter the classroom. She blinked at him and pointed towards him, "You are a Cretorian aren't you!?" She peered at him closer, slightly leaning over the desk, "Your kind is essentially living history! Truly wondrous... Welcome!" Espinosa glanced towards the doorway as she continued cleaning up the artifacts on the table.
 
Emily calmed down and went to class, the phone call was distracting her. The things she talked about in the phone stopped following her a long time ago. She found out that is she didn't use her powers, they couldn't find her. She hoped she didn't have to use her powers for the next class, those things would finds her and take her, she never really understood how to fight them. She had fought them before but the only way to finish the fight was escape and hide , she had to find a way to stop them. But how?


Emily entered her class, she saw a student stirring in a desk and a teacher talking to him. She sat at the desk and took out her books
 
"What?!" Rose's face began turning red out of anger. Expell him for missing a school trip? "Who told you that? That shouldn't happen. Missing a school trip is far from anything you'd need to do to get expelled." Who was it? There shouldn't be anyone within the school who can just expel a kid without first presenting justifiable evidence for doing so. And since she heard nothing from her father, someone seemed to have taken the rules into their own hands. Who in their right mind would go around pushing onto others an authority they didn't even have?


~~~~~


After eating his fill, Vash wandered the halls, not quite sure of what to do. Mel said they most likely weren't going to be welcome in class and with all the dirty looks he had been getting that morning, he supposed it'd be true. Bunch of meaniefaces. They were the ones to attack first, not Mel and they had even injured Vash and his friends more anyway. If only Mel had given the okay to go for the kill, then maybe they wouldn't have gotten so first. He wouldn't have killed, just maimed or severely injured.


Still, back to the matter at hand. He. Was. Booooooorrrreeeeddd. Not having to go to class and Mel not able to play made Vash realized something. He didn't have any friends.


. . .


Well that sucked. Not that he wasn't used to it. Back home there weren't many kids willing to play with him since he was always busy. But he had hoped he had made some friends. Well, he talked with Azure and Elaem a few times, but they tried to kill Riff so they didn't really count . . .


Still bored, he went to the north wing, deciding to take a nap in his room for now. However, along the way, he noticed a pink haired girl lying on the floor. Looking down at her, he did what he assumed was a natural reaction. He kicked her to see if she was still alive or not.


~~~~~


Riff opened the door to Mel's room, only to see that Mel wasn't there. However, he knew Mel enough by now and noticing the open window, he knew exactly where she was. First placing the bag he had with him on the table, he went over to the window and stuck his head out.


And sure enough, there she was, walking along the edge of the roof, stepping from each protrusion with a swift grace that didn't seem like she was being careful at all. She was still in her sleepwear, with no sign of any coat or even pants. Did she want to catch a cold? "Miss Mel, it's not safe up there. Please come down before you fall."


Mel gave Riff a quick glance before going back to her business, only this time, she was going faster ad did a little twirl in between steps, as if to prove her point that she would never fall. But soon enough, she came back into the room, grabbing the edge of the roof and swinging herself in, sitting herself in a chair.


Riff took the bag he brought and taking everythign out, set up tea and some snacks for her on the table. Darjeeling Tea, brioche with rasperry jam, and a few chocolate creme filled croissants. As Mel took a sip from her cup, Riff went to go brush her hair.


Riff enjoyed this little ritual of theirs. It was a form of unspoken communication between them, and the fact that he was the only one allowed to be this close to her, when she is at her most vulnerable, meant something to him. Mel had even grown her hair out to make this time last a bit longer, because she had told him this was the only time she could ever feel at peace. He noticed a few locks, shorter than before, but decided it must've been from the fight.


~~~~~


Mel sat back as Riff brushed her hair, finally able to relax. Biting into a croissant, she let her mind wander, specifically to her experiences at Oriens, the people she met, the things they said.


"But really, what else should I be expecting -- When I'm dealing with someone who smells like they've drawn blood pretty often in their time, hmm?"


"Why'd you choose to serve someone as evil as her?"


"I always had a feeling you three were bad apples."


"Her bloodlust is no doubt too out of control for her to just quit."


"I guess some humans just aren't worth saving."


She stared at the floor, pulling her legs up onto the chair so she could rest her chin on her knees. "I'm not a monster." She felt Riff stop brushing for a sec, though he continued soon after.


"I talked to Mr. Richter today. Or at least tried to. That hypocritic ******* said he was completely justified. Said it was reason enough that we were hiding the killings. That we should've repented, as if we weren't already trying to do that."


"How the Hell does that ******* explain why he went after Vash?! The boy has done nothing wrong!" She grumbled a bit to herself, muttering a long line of curses under her breath before turning her head back to look at Riff. "Don't worry. I will protect you both. Any one who dares hurt you guys, I will pay back 1000 fold."


Riff gave a chuckle. "Miss Mel, no man wants to hear that from a girl he- from a girl younger than him."


"Oh please, you're hardly a man. And little boys should just do as they are told."


"So should little girls."


"Ah, but I pay you, I outrank you. And drop the 'miss' already. I've already told you, I don't like it."


"I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss Mel," he said, smiling. "I do think you should stay in your room though, until you recover that is." Having finished, he placed the brush back on the dresser and started cleaning up the tea supplies.


"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just leave already."


~~~~~


"Okay then. Good bye, Miss Mel." Riff then left, bag in tow, and headed for his room. He supposed he would wait there for Azure to come by later.
 
Azure was a little surprised to see her become so enraged at the idea of himself being Expelled. This issue must of meant a lot to her in some way.


"That's good to hear... but his name is... pretty weird... It started out as Fioravante Bloyse..... Zir..... well... I'm pretty sure his name was at least over 10 words long, and it ended with him saying what I think is a self-proclaimed title, saying that he was Master of the Arcane. To give a description of him... he's covered in clothing to the point that you can't even see him except for his beard... and... he did say that something along the lines of ensuring me that I would be expelled."


Azure couldn't help but get an increasingly concerned puzzled look.


"I don't really know what he wants with me either though, and why he's doing this to me other than something about "my true talents" ... and I'm not sure... but... I believe that he was referring to my magical abilities... but... I'm not sure where he....."


Azure then remembered what had caused him to faint during the battle against Mel, grinning with anger...


"Wait... he was the one who overloaded me with his magic... during the fight we were in yesterday..."


He calmed down a bit when he realized that he was focusing the conversation far to much on Rasputin... at this rate, he figured that he would forget about the other matters at hand. He didn't think he could just drop the topic completely however... and had to steer it into the next.


"Even if nothing could be done about it, I can't really afford to be expelled... because... I don't want to make to big of a deal about it, but it is probably going to end up as the same as a death sentence for me....."


-I... probably could of chose a better choice of words...-


"But... that brings me to another issue... about Riff and Vash..."
 
After some wandering, Anya tracked the sound of giggling, and discovered Richter looking at a stopwatch. It was rather odd, but nearby she found Lily and Bunny huddled in a corner. Bunny looked uncharacteristically sad, instead of the normal flustered or timid. Anya remembered all the times she or Lily had been sad, and decided the angel needed some cheering up.


"Bunny, are you okay?" she asked, drawing the angel into a hug. "It's okay. Shhhh."
 
Standing up he looked at the woman who is to be his teacher for his class and said, "How very astute of you. I supposed there is no need for an introduction then? Also as a new transfers here is there anything I need to makeup?" Having said that he then waited for her response as he basked in the glow of rightful recognition as well as something making his hear aflutter.
 
Espinosa smiled at Josue, "Well just because I know of the Cretorians, and their importance, doesn't mean it hasn't been covered yet. Feel free to introduce yourself to the others. And as a transfer student, yes I have a packet containing key points of the content, the Chapters that need to be read, and a few small homework assignments." She reached into her drawer as she pulled out a few packets, "Does anyone else need a packet?"
 
Skyia nodded hearing the teacher, and began to think what exactly she could ask. For now maybe, she would just lie back and let her just introduce the others in her class.


She turned her head around to see the gigantic man sitting in the back of the class, he must be part giant from looking at him. Then she noticed that he put a tape recorder on his table, huh, that's actually a kinda smart idea. Skyia turned her head around when the teacher pointed out a particular student.


" A Cretorian? " Skyia thought to herself, she never heard of the word, but, it seems like they seemed a bit special, the teacher seemed a bit excited to see one of his kind here too. Well maybe Skyia could find out what was cool about them!


In the meantime she made sure to check to see if Azura's blade was still in her pack, she put it in there before class, so it wouldn't be taken away, it was a little pretty being honest, but she focused her attention back up hearing the teacher call out if people needed packets, Skyia quickly raised her hand into the air. " I need a packet Ms Espinosa! " Eagerly ready to start learning stuff that happened in the past.

Victor Brenzkof walked out of the classroom and started to wander around a bit, towards the next period. A, historical Archaeological mixup class. Great now he can take a nap. Off he walked through the halls finding himself entering the teachers class, and to his suprise, he saw a variety of bullets that seemed to be dating quite a ways.


Interesting, He might be able to guess which calibers they might be after looking at them for a bit, kind of reminded Victor whenever Jayus needs to replace parts of his body, he would find some old miscellaneous things sticking inside a chunk of him that was scooped up over time, or that was just lying around when he made it part of his body.


Victor gave a wave at the teacher and moved over to the back of the class, taking out his supplies, and just leaned back into his chair, waiting to see if history would be a snorefest or would actually be interesting. Always depended how you told it, that's what Victor learned.


---


All the while Shiftious started to turn his body a bit seeing whats going on over there with that group, what could have upset Lilith so much? Well... it wasn't really his business to butt in, he might go see this Rabbit Enthusiast Club soon, to see if he would like it or not, but a couple more minutes sitting out here is still a bit nice to do. So he just slouched back into the tree, and just sat there for a while longer immobile.
 
Rasputin took the waivers but didn't even bother reading them. He barely looked at them truth be told. Waivers to be signed for an adventure, what was the world coming to? Mediocrity, cowardice, conformity, endless bureaucracy, other negative terms. He wasn't about to pass those things out himself, no. Instead, when Skyia raised her hand he walked up to her and held them out for her to take "Thank you for volunteering to pass these along. Every student will take one and sign it! We shall undergo a quest and perhaps you might learn something useful for once!"


"And you", he turned towards Josue "That wasn't magic. What did you do, explain yourself".
 
Skyia turned her head over towards the man covered on robes. " I-er... okay. " A bit hesitantly, she came up and took a packet from Miss Espinosa, then taking the waivers from the man in robes with the really long name.


Off she slithered around the classroom, handing out a packet to everyone in the room right now, then coming back over to hand the extra's back to Rasputin before heading back to her seat. Staying quiet while reading over the material in the waivers to see what exactly this was about.
