Fantasy The Killer Academy

[Parsnip]

Mr. Firth made a mental note to speak with the late student after class; he might be having trouble finding his way around the school.


"...Now then, since I'm simply here until your teacher arrives, I suppose it'll be best to- hm?"


He pointed the marker at Darren.


"Yes? You have a question, mister..."


Colin tapped his chin absentmindedly, the dry-erase leaving little black smudges wherever it touched his face.


"You know, I'm not sure if we've met. I'm Mr. Firth. You?"

 

[SilverBlack]

"Dude, you know, that girl just screamed no and ran out of class," Dorzo pointed to Jane who ran out of the classroom, an entertained smirk still on his face. "Meimei, you're interesting. It seemed like funny things happened when I'm around you~" He grinned wild at his teacher, making no note into respecting him more because he's the teacher.


At the sound of the word "spar," Dorzo's eyes brightened up. "Ooooh~Spar with you? Finally? Sure, bro, and I'm not gonna lose." Well, Mei probably should be much stronger than him but he accepted the challenge anyway, looking forward to the fight with the teacher. "But why not now?" Dorzo licked his lips.

Choosing new guns took some time, for Lorzo had to carefully look through each gun design carefully before choosing upon one or two. He sighed a bit when he didn't find any really good guns, but managed to pick out three before he left the shop. He could enhance or modify the guns if he wanted by himself or by the modification room anyway.


Deciding upon so, Lorzo left the shop and wandered into the hallways.

 

[Duwang]

"Darren. Darren Jones. I left a note in your office, but it would be much better if I could talk to you now." Darren responded, putting his hand down. "I need my classes changed. I think I was placed into courses that are much lower than what I'm capable of."

 

[Parsnip]

"Oh dear. Er, well, you see, Darren- the thing is..."


Colin bit his lip nervously.


"Look, just- this is really isn't something we should discuss in a classroom. Stop by my office at the end of the day- I'll explain."

 

[MechaGhoul]

Jacob scratched his left cheek as he glanced at Mister Firth, "Uh like yeah Teach Brah. So what are we gonna talk about the themes of the book?" Jacob scratched at his big toe, as he glanced up at the ceiling for a bit. "Or are we gonna recap it or like somethin' similar?"

 

[Parsnip]

"Right, right, uh-", Colin suddenly wished he had been given more time to prepare, "-Er, okay, here's a good first question. What character do you most identify with, and why? Let's start with-"


He pointed to Masa.


"-you."

 

[Zerohex]

Masao had no idea why anyone would want to catch rye. You didn't even have to catch it, it was a crop, it was stuck to the ground. Picking rye he could understand, but not catching it. These western books were strange and confusing and he hadn't read a single word of them, but he had indeed done his summer reading. Some of it, anyway. Romance of the Three Kingdoms had been his reading and it had been enjoyable, proving that even an inferior culture like the chinese could produce good things given enough time and people, it would seem.


Masao jumped from his seat at Colin's question, almost exploding to his full height. Him not knocking his desk down was nothing short of a miracle. "Teacher!" he yelled "Lu Bu is favorite character! Lu Bu stronk, fight armies, kill tyrant for beautiful woman. Lu Bu very manly!". In Masao's defense, he hadn't actually read much into the book. It'd gotten torn to pieces while he fought the yakuza and then he mostly just went with the general idea of "Lu Bu is the most badass guy". Also, "books can save your life", which is why he'd decided to continue his studies in the first place.

 

[Parsnip]

"That's very..."


Colin stared off into space for a solid thirty seconds before continuing. He really should have expected this sort of thing coming in.


"Okay then, Jacob, how about you?"

 

[MechaGhoul]

Jacob pondered on this question for sometime as he scratched his left cheek. "Like I'll say part Holden Colfield for his academic apathy, I'll admit Teacher Brah, I skip classes for the beach. Well I do for most classes, never missed English." Jacob glanced upwards, "But like I don't care about the "phonies". Live and let live dude. He's too cynical of a character. I mean he does..." Jacob stopped as he tapped on the desk with his right index finger.


"Most relate with... Hmm, I guess Stradlater dude." Jacob scratched at his chin as he glanced at Mister Firth, "Uh I mean he is happy about who he is, and he isn't a negative brah like Holden. I know it sounds cheap Teach Dude but that's probably the character I feel most similar to." Jacob scratched at his big toes, "I'm like far better with Nineteenth Century Literature. But uh I hope my explanation was gnaralatious enough Mister Firth bro."

 

[Wishfully]

Annette struggled with her bag, shifting it on her uninjured shoulder as she walked. Her face was twisted into a sour expression as a result of her first class and the injury. "What a way to start," she grumbled to herself. Annette decided she didn't care enough to go to her next class. Skipping wasn't exactly something she normally did, but she just wanted to be away from people. So, Annette wandered to the library and started browsing the mystery section.

Caleb sat in the classroom contently until he heard the substitute teacher mention something about a summer reading. Caleb felt a bead of sweat form on his forehead. So that's what his caretakers had given him that book for...whoops. Caleb vague remembered something about catching rye, but he didn't know why anyone would do such a thing. Rye was a type of bread- it was meant to be eaten, not caught, right? The orange-haired boy chewed on the top of his pencil as he listened to Masao and Jacob speak about the book with Mr. Firth, hoping he could catch some of the main points without having to say anything himself.

 

[Parsnip]

Colin sighed with relief, happy that at least one student had bothered to read.


"That's a perfectly fine answer, Jacob. I suppose next up will be... Darren."

 

[Dawnsx]

Mei rolled his eyes and flicked Dorzo on the forehead. Right now, he was way beyond the nickname that Dorzo has given him. The class already gave him one hell of a headache, and he doesn't need Dorzo to add on to his pile of troubles. "Don't you have classes to go to?"

 

[SilverBlack]

"Yep, but nope, not going," Dorzo grinned. "I doubt Lorzo's going too anyway. Why, you hate me here?" He didn't care if the reply is yes or no, cause either way he's staying. Mei interested him, so it wouldn't be bad for him to stay in his previous classroom to kill his boredom. "You don't seem to have a next class anyway."


---


Lorzo wandered in the hallways until he came upon the library. He didn't have much else to go anyway, except next class or go back to search for Dorzo, who was probably still with that teacher..Mei. From his looks Lorzo could tell his brother was interested in him, although he couldn't tell why except that his weapon was unique.


The air conditioned room with the endless shelves of books entered his sight as he stepped into the library. Letting out a sigh he thought this might as well be a good place to relax, mostly due to the fact that the library was the only place where the least number of fights occurred.


It's been a while since he last found any good books, but he did managed to find one, at last, about the country's economy issues and political problems, etc. It might be the most boring book to many people, but it caught Lorzo's interest....He had never known much about his family background except he was born in a wealthy family, so he might as well know more by reading books of such topics.


Lorzo walked through the shelves of books to find a good place to sit and read.

 

[Mikailgirl]

Nightshade yawned, most of these books were too violent for her and they didn't have enough romance. She put her head up, it seemed like a lot more people had come to the library. She saw a handsome boy walking through the shelves and hoped he didn't notice her, but wait was it still second period, maybe she could ask the boy....never mind he looked a little too scary to talk to.

 

[SilverBlack]

Lorzo frowned when he feel the gaze of someone else on him. Turning around he spotted a girl watching him with doubts in her eyes, as if struggling on something. The girl looked familiar...Lorzo blinked to himself before remembering that she was in weaponry class, the girl who didn't bring a weapon to class and didn't really concentrate while he had his spar with Annette.


Speaking of Annette...Lorzo himself spotted the girl who sparred with him earlier between the shelves in the library too. He raised an eyebrow at Annette, thinking if he should greet her later, before walking over to the girl who was watching him earlier. There were a few free seats to take at her direction anyway.


"What do you want?" Using his normal, cold voice, he asked, eyeing her from above.

 

[Mikailgirl]

Nightshade looked around before looking at the boy, she guess he really was talking to her. He was really handsome up close but she then recognized him from weaponry class,he had been in a fight. His voice was quite cold and she was a bit scared to talk to him. "Hello ummmm d-do y-you know ahh if it's still second period?" Her word came out a mess and rushed and Nightshade wished she hadn't even spoken to the boy.

 

[noname]

Jane blinked when she heard a few voices murmuring louder, clashing with the quiet atmosphere of the peaceful library.


Normally, she wouldn't have minded a few people chattering in such quiet places- in fact, she would be curious about such actions, but she HAD guarded this place during the summer as a member of the library committee. She had grown quite attached to such a destination, where she could find any story and hop into any kind of world she read about.


She was irked that some people would disrupt the quietness of the place that fascinated her.


With a slight frown marking her face, the girl followed the voices until she reached a petite girl with pink hair and a taller boy who looked rather annoyed.


Jane cleared her voice, trying to grab both of their attention, "Excuse me, would you two please lower your voices. It will be much appreciated if you don't disrupt this place for other people that would like to read and study quietly."

 

[SilverBlack]

Lorzo raised an eyebrow at the girl's question, before the frown deepened on his face. "Yes," he said shortly, replying to her question, although barely heard it clearly. How could she not know if it's second period or not, though, Lorzo questioned it in his mind, but didn't ask it out loud.


At the sound of a third voice, Lorzo looked to his side to find another girl standing there, telling them to lower their voices. Lorzo narrowed his eyes at the girl before a thought flew past his mind.


You're the loudest here, young lady.


"Hmph." Despite his thought, he simply let out a humph before walking away, not bothering to say anything back, leaving the two ladies behind.

 

[noname]

Watching the boy walk away, she smiled. The girl was proud of herself yet again.


Jane slightly bowed a greeting as well as a slight goodbye to the pink haired girl before walking out of the aisle.


She made her way into the back corner of the library. She sat at another small desk, similar to the main one at the front of the library.


The girl let out a sign as she let herself get comfortable on the leather chair behind the desk. Maybe she might just spend the rest of the school day at this place.

 

[Mikailgirl]

She watched the boy walk away "t-thank you and b-bye," she mumbled quietly before looking back down. Nightshade sighed, would she ever make any friends. She looked up at the girl who had told them to lower their voices, she looks pretty nice was her first thought maybe I could go over and say hi. Nightshade stood and brushed her skirt down before taking a deep breath and walking over to the girl. "H-hi" her voice was shaky and she looked as if she was going faint.

 

[noname]

Jane sat up and straightened her posture. She smiled at the girl, "Yes? How may I be of assistance?"


After taking care of this library during the summer, maybe she can finally help someone as well.

 

[Mikailgirl]

"I-I" Nightshade couldn't get the words out of her mouth. "M-my Nightshade, I-I'm n-n-new here ahh n-nice to meet you." She stumbled on her words and hoped this girl wouldn't laugh at her.

 

[noname]

Jane blinked at how the girl spoke. Her words jumbled over each other, not to mention some didn't reach her ears.


She slightly tilted her head, "...Pardon?"

 

[Mikailgirl]

Nightshade bit her lip, oh why couldn't she be louder. "..." She stared at the ground before speaking again. "My name's Nightshade, I'm n-new here, n-nice to meet you." By the time she had spoke the last word Nightshade face was flustered and hot and she didn't dare look up.

 

[noname]

Jane smiled, finally hearing the girl's words, "I'm new here as well. I'm Jane." She stared at the girl, "So do you need help with anything?"


She tapped her fingers at the table, glancing at the small pile of books stacked up at the side. They were the small stack of books she had placed on the desk several days ago during the summer, only she had forgotten about them and never read the books. She eyed the pink haired girl again, deciding she would read the books later if the girl needed assistance.
