Xander shakes Gekido’s hand fully. “Of course, it’s nothing. I’m Xander, and it’s nice to meet you. T-thank you for the bandages. I think just this will do,” he said ineloquently as he sat back down and dressed his cut. He had already washed it partially and used a dummy appearance when he ran away, so he had no chance of being found. For now, he would be safe here.

Tom:
Tom looks at Gojira and says, “I can be you partner. I’m not so gifted nor talented at fist fighting though. I really do want to spar.” Tom looks at Aena when she calls him.
Aena:
“Mr. Tom. It came to my attention that another magus has enrolled. You might be able to get help from that magus.” Her language program failed to use pronouns. “I think that the next team should be Mr. Gojira and Mr. Tom.”

“Forgive me, I acted suspiciously,” Xander said apathetically. He took a seat and held a cut wrist with his other hand. “If you’re speaking about trust, you’re not trusting me either. You fail do so because we can manipulate opposite elements. Is that it? Our affinities make us enemies?” All the while he remained calm.

Xander jumped back. First the glowing blade startled him, and then the sudden snap of ice around the wielder. He had just thawed his eyes from their golden disguise and so they were wet. He couldn’t see very well. The glowing block of ice that was both cold and energetic and it began to give him a headache. “I would do many things in order to survive, I must confess. But I would never kill another person like that. I only seek to escape and to stop people like that. I’ve seen how many people have exploited their powers for personal gain, and I would let that go unpunished. Firekin and Cold ones are almost the same. Neither them nor humans should use power to exploit each other. I myself would never be that way,” he said calmly. His face was unchanged but his eyes were furrowed.

Xander tenses up, “I’m Xander. I lost my way here, and it might rain soon. You’ve just seen my power. If you need me to do anything, I’ll be glad, as long as I can stay dry. There’s just something in the air, yes, It feels like rain.”

Tom:
Tom said, “Just be sure, we’re sparring and that means no weapons right. Actually, Think this would be relaxing, the morning sub is just fine.
Aena:
“And me? What shall I do? If its okay, I would like to watch. I’ll offer individual instruction to anyone who needs it. In fact, I feel like I’m being ignored.”
Aena cannot train her body at all, but rather she can learn and excel from this. Who knows, she might just learn how to teach like that.

Xander ran off, laughing at himself. He had been hungry, so hungry. He committed on of the worst crimes; he tried to rationalize using his powers for theft. He had encountered a group of firekin, a bunch of thugs at that. It wasn’t that he didn’t like firekin, but rather that they were just cruel people.
They would go around, and like common thugs do, just randomly harass people and mug them. He had enough of watching them, so he shape shifted into one of them, perhaps and older sister he had seen once with them. They mistook him for so long, he had even eaten one or two meals with them. He tried to equalize his guilty pleasure by stopping them from hurting anyone. He had been so careful, duplicating every strand of hair and even the warm colored eyes they had, but he had been caught.
He ran until his legs gave, but he escaped. His disguise wore off, and just then he tried the door. I feel a unique presence here, perhaps it’s benevolent, he thought to himself. He was covered in bruises, and even though his clothes were clean, he felt so dirty.

Tom:
Tom said, “I would simply love to spar first, I haven’t done so in ages.” He sat down on a ledge and put his hands together happily. Oh, how horrible he was at fist fighting, but it was an essential skill he had to learn, even if he has to be knocked down hundreds of time.
Aena:
Aena wondered about the new person, that perhaps he was a teacher, judging from his size. This time, she did her best not to run into him as she dashed to the front from her room. “Are you Mr. Haru? If so, please shake my hand. I-I…I look forward to working with you”.

Name: Xander Arthur
Appearance Black hair and black eyes, wears long sleeved t-shirts, often with blue or black jeans. Also dresses formally, with a plaid shirt and khakis. About 5 foot three inches tall. Pale skin, wishes he was taller
Species: cold one
Affinity: Is a great tactician, though he doesn’t like to manipulate people, believes in pacifism, but also that some things have to be fought for. He tries to be open to others, although his basic nature is shy. Has a sense of right/wrong but often fails to implement it.
Powers/Weaknesses – even as a cold one, dislikes intense cold, so his power is undermined. Mercurial form – Can solidify vapor that touches him to form extensions of ice. He can manipulate these like limbs, which mostly sprout from his back. He can cover himself in ice, changing both his physical size and appearance, to so much of an extent that he can appear as another person.

Tom:
By coincidence, Tom had encountered Haru’s group during his morning exercise. Everyday, Tom would run a lap around the school, just to wake up. He was almost done but took the strange chance to talk to him, “Hello,sir. By any chance are you a new teacher here?”
Aena:
Aena charged up quietly, but while she was conscious, she received a notification of a new person inside the school. If it was a new student, She would have to go, but she was feeling a new emotion: worry, that none of her students or even new colleagues would accept her lackluster, less-than-successful teaching method.
-
Tom:
Tom simply laughed at what unfolded. He promptly left and reheated his tea.
This teacher cannot possibly be serious.
Aena:
“Hmm, did we not start yet?” She ran her hand through her hair and saw it was gone. “Unbelievable, you were able to take it without me noticing. I was supposed to tie in a lesson, ‘sometimes you have to let your prized possessions go’. Well, I’ll be in my quarters now.”
Aena decided she needed a new upgrade, some way to deal with supernatural power users. She wanted to say something to Mr. Tom, but he had already left.
-
Tom:
I, I just drank tea, I guess I’ll go.
When Tom arrived he had no clue what the challenge would be, but he’d rather finish up his tea. He listened carefully, and would only accept if he found it worthy. He hated the forest at night. It reminded him too much of the forest were he lost his most beloved mother, and then by cruel fate, his sister too. Tom had been obsessed only with bettering himself since.
Aena:
“Okay, I see that this is everyone?” She took out a hair clip and tied her cherry hair into a ponytail.”This is my most prized possession. It was given to me by my first master, and I would’ve gotten very, very angry if something happened to it. You must take it from me. If you decide to use your gift, I may use mine. If you try to overpower me, I will fight back. I must warn you, I have been adapted for personal combat, and though I might look benign, I may very well be stronger than you. I shall give you a hint: my reaction speed is faster but I can’t solve visual puzzles easily. Let us start Now.

Tom:
Tom showed up. He was rather composed, but also disappointed. He could sense that his present wasn’t opened. It had some impurities, but none of it had oxidized yet. That really didn’t sit well with him. Oh well, at least he tried.
<i>Who is so uncouth as to disturb my evening drink of tea. Ah, it sounds like the metal one.</i>
Aena:
“Hello? Attention? My name is Aena Schwartz and I am your new student teacher. I am to show respect, but I also expect respect from you all. I understand that it is late at night, so I will keep it at a minimum. This school has done so much for me, so I will make it my duty to see that you all succeed. Because of my knowledge, I believe I can help everyone with their studies. I will start tonight by offering a challenge to help foster friendship and goodwill. If you are to accept, meet me outside at the forest behind the school.”
-
Aena:
Aena charged herself for about five minutes then issued a statement on the intercom, which she could easily use while walking to the gym. “Everyone is to stop by the gym. I will issue a longer statement there.” For extra measure, she walked around the school, reminding every student. Although her indicator read ‘nervous’ she forced her lips into a smile, making absolutely sure that nothing gave away her robotic nature. She knew that almost all the students already knew, but some of the new ones would perhaps question her authority if she was a non-person. She has a plan for that.

Aena:
Aena went inside the office and tried her best at a persuasive speech, “Mr. Godal. I have finished my initial study of the human mind. I’ve read every book the library has to offer. Still, I don’t feel like this is the proper way to achieve my goal. For the last two months or so, I have stayed here, only to seek refuge. I wish to repay you, I wish to make good happy relations. I noted you are low on staff, and the other students criticized the lack of teachers. Please allow me to become a student teacher. I promise not to fail you. I am a weak person. I cannot make friends, or even hold a conversation. By definition, my feelings are unrefined, and I lack the things that make people themselves. But, I am absolute. My skin is tough, my body is hard steel, my eyes sharp, my weapons primed, my motors running. Please allow me to better myself by becoming a student teacher.”
