Upon coming to Sky High, Xiu Yong was immediately placed into on-campus housing when her host family decided against having her at the last minute. By on-campus housing, that meant taking refuge on an unused multipurpose classroom hastily converted into a make shift bedroom. Afterall, Sky High wasn't intended to have dormitories. She didn't mind at all though. With the massive windows of the classroom overlooking the land below the hovering structure, she could barely tell she was technically in the basement of building.

The room had been used several times in the past for home economics, art and magic classes before the school had the funds to upgrade and give those classes their own private rooms; meaning the furniture necessary for all it had been used for had been left around the massive room. With a full stove cook top, oven, refrigerator and etc available as well as prop beds from the drama department, she honestly felt she was living it up far better than she would be had she stayed with a host family. The only down side was that she had to use the gym's showers and bathrooms on the upper floor when necessary. It wasn't all bad--she did get first pick of the shower room lockers to store her items in after all.

After contacting her parents who remained back in China, it wasn't difficult to convince them to send money to decorate, which she still needed to do. Today, as she locked her makeshift apartment behind her with her large luggage bags mostly unpacked, she was dressed in her usual outfit with silver jewelry adorning her chest. She turned to find Mr. Adam, the Magic teacher, waiting for her. With a nod from both their parts, he led the way up to the gym where several students from buses that had pulled in before the current crew's. She parted ways with the teacher and settled in at the back of the crowd. She was eager to meet others, but found herself at a loss for words. Maybe it was that everyone spoke fluent English around her that intimidated Xiu, maybe it was just that she was a stranger despite her age.

Regardless, she backed away from the crowd and settled in instead against the back wall near the door with her arms folded behind her and her head down. She set herself apart from the others... for the time being, at least. Maybe she'd have the courage to approach someone later.

Listening to the explanation about what his metal could handle, Zaheer nodded but some of the information that was given to him sort of went through one ear and out the other but what he did make out of it was that his metal could handle certain guns but very powerful weapons of death...he would not come out unscathed. Now, when explaining the damage he can cause with his power, a huge grin appeared on Zaheer's face as it flashed his fangs he naturally had. Oh maaaan...I wish I coulda been there to see that. Ah! That means I can see it soon since we get to test our power here!! No...actually I would like to see you fight someone! No...how about... before he could get out all he could say, Zaheer noticed a familiar face. The girl...no, one of the twins he saw on the bus. She came up while he and Dimitri was having a conversation but really didn't mind because this just meant that, Zaheer had another person he could ask about their abilities.

When the girl came up, she seemed to already know Dimitri but then brought her eyes upon Zaheer, asking who he was. She was quite pretty to him as he hesitated to take in her scent before speaking I'm Zaheer....aka, Wildside! You...you're that double girl from the bus. Who are you? he said with a fang baring smile on his face Do you have cool powers too like Metal man? he asked, ignoring the announcement about the class and year gathering arrangement.

@yukisaa

Gretchen smiled politely as she listened to the speech, and then headed to Gym 3. Looking around, she sees a few different people, but none she recognised fully. She wasn't really looking hard enough, anyways. Sitting down on the floor, she pulls out her notebook and begins sketching an idea for a bodysuit for flame powers.

Dimitri nodded in greeting to Eve and Ava as they approached him and Zaheer, however he was a bit too preoccupied listening to Zaheer to verbally respond. He tried to multitask between paying attention to both his newfound friend and the announcments at once, not really seeming distressed until Zaheer mentioned his desire to see Dimitri in combat. For just a sliver of a moment Dimitri's smile became strained as he fought the desire to frown. He was never really one for combat, in fact, he'd come to learn how to use his powers for anything other than punching people in the face in the name of justice. As people where being guided to their assigned areas, Dimitri stood and began to move with the second year crowd towards gym 2. He would have offered a farewell to Wildside and the twins, however as both parties were currently engaged in conversation he refrained from doing so out of politeness. At any rate, if any of them happened to be second years, they'd surely find him rather quickly, especially Zaheer, if his location of Dimitri earlier was anything to go by.

The fins lining the top of Ptolemy's head wiggled as he entered Gym 3, glancing around at the other 3rd Years. Familiar faces. He even spotted the Magic Studies club, or the MSc, among their number. He was only really friends with the new president, and the others viewed him more as a source of esoteric knowledge, the Atlantean's having a far better grasp of the more outlandish and odd magic's than the Land-bound. Part of his nomination for Vice-Presidency at the end of Year 1, and now it was time to start thinking up a replacement. Golem was the first to come to mind. The boy had a way with kabbalah, but he would wait and see what the 1st Years could bring to the table. He wiggled his toes in his sandals, unsure of what to do.

It was the arrival of Mr. Adam and another student which saved him from his uncertainty. He observed her body language for a moment, horizontal and vertical eyelids coming to squint. She gave off a familiar impression, and one he had become very good at giving off himself. Either she wanted to be left alone, or she did not know where to really begin. His expression remained flat, but his gills fluttered in consideration. With a shrug of his shoulders, he moved over to join the other student against the wall to her side, casting her a stiff nod as a silent greeting. Best not to push it for now.

Eve looked at the smiling with a fang. "I'm Eve... aka Poison Ivy, but most people call me Ivy and this is my sister Ava... aka AI, she doesn't like to talk much." said Eve, giggling to herself. hearing the announcement about the going to the 3rd gym for year 3, she pulled her sister by the neck again, and started to walk slowly away before yelling out and waving to the other two. "you'll have to wait and see" i said, walking away with my sister behind me. both the twins got to the 3rd gym, when Ai decided to get away from her sister and hangout with her own friends, whom she spotted around the wall.

"come sit down in this corner, well start the testing in 5 minutes to see which class everyone would be place in" said Ms. Chantal for the 3rd year students.

"come sit down in this corner, well start the testing in 5 minutes to see which class everyone would be place in" said Mr. Smith for the 1st year students.

Jack, with his hood over his head made his way to the first gym for "power placement"without knowing what it was, he hoped that he didn't have to show the extent of his power, primarily because searching for a limit for ink is like trying to go to the edge of the universe,it is simply fruitless.

Erin gave a small Salute to the others as she walked into gym two and sat in the corner for the power placement to begin, "I wonder if I should go all out this time?" She asked herself as she busied herself with her drawing pad, sketching out a point of view from the end of a tank barrel. .

While having his conversation, Zaheer heard Dimitri leaving while keeping his attention on Eve. When introducing herself and her sister, his smile continued to shine looking at these girls. cool cool...like the names!! he said. Yeah,they were pretty and since they were leaving for class, he just continued to stare at the girls as Eve..or should he say Ivy was giving him a tease that he would have to check out her and her sister's abilities later. He was going to be sure to catch that when the time came. Met a new friend today and a pretty girl. Seems like today is starting off on the right foot.

As everyone was leaving, Zaheer followed Dimitri's scent to the gym he headed to. Not considering that he may end up in the wrong one but if he gets it wrong, he'd simply find the one he's suppose to be in.

@yukisaa @MonsieurShade

Xiu looked to the new student and nodded back, blushing a little. He was a bit strange looking, but overall not hard to look at. She lifted her head to listen to the speakers come on and direct everyone to move to designated corners, which she complied in doing. Really, she was looking forward to seeing all the new students abilities.

Dimitri complied with Ms.Hefty's directions and stood in the corner, visibly shaking with excitement as he awaited the results for this year. During the previous year Dimitri had managed to be assigned as a part of the hero classes, albeit just barely due to him just learning to use his abilities. This year would be different; He'd been practicing all summer, this time around he wasn't just going to squeak by. Dimitri's excitement began to manifest itself through his powers, as evident by the metal that began to creep up from his color bone all the way to his cheeks. He hardly noticed, being far too concerned with trying to take everything in at once.

After following Dimitri's scent to the gym that the 2nd years were meeting, Zaheer looked around confused and checked out the competition. He was about to ask what was going on before being directed to get next to the wall. With his fang shining smile, Zaheer turned to walk to the wall Hey when can I show my powers!? he yelled out.

----
"Eve Ashkii, Ava Ashkii, Vincent McLain, Gretchen Anima, Prince Ptolemy of Atlantis, Xiu Yong, Vannessa and Russel, come to the stage and show me your powers please" said Ms. Chantal for the 3rd year students.
----
"Dimitri Santos, Zaheer Aries and Erin Maxima, come to the stage and show me your powers please" said Miss. Hefty for the 2nd year students.

"Jack darkhart, your up first kid, come to the stage and show me your powers" said Mr. Smith for the 1st year students.

As soon as Miss Hefty called for him to come forth with the others, Zaheer did not hesitate as he quickly dashed front and center in the gym. With a grin, he was about just show off any and everything he had but he needed to be careful not to do anything that could potentially hurt someone. Guys I need some room... he said ready to demonstrate what he could do.

To get things started, Zaheer closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them as a ghostly image of a toad flashed over him and disappeared a moment later. With that, Zaheer positioned his body like a toad and jumped half way across the gym. Landing, he looked around and noticing another student who was not paying attention, Zaheer let loose a long lashing tongue that grabbed a girl by her ankle and flung her towards him, catching her. From the shock and scream she gave, Zaheer set her back down and closed his eyes again as a ghostly image of a lion appeared above his head and disappeared.

Zaheer's eyes were gold like a lion's and his claws and fangs grew, letting out a roar of a lion as he noticed a punching back and leaped over like a lion, swatting at it, ripping it open from the power he unleashed. He looked upon the crowd of students and thought about what other ability he could show next. He then called forth the abilities of a spider monkey as the ghostly image of it came up next and disappeared. Zaheer's movements were like that of a monkey as he ran over to the rope and climbed it with us, holding on with one hand and flipped upside down. He continued on up to the rafters and swung from one beam to the next until he headed back to the ropes and climbed down just as easy as he did climbing up.

That's when a ghostly image of a Ram showed. Zaheer was so excited that he was about to overdo it trying to show off all the animal abilities he had but it was certain that he showed enough to be evaluated.

Russel sidled up onto the stage. Russel tapped the side of his respirator a few times. At last, Russel said in a heavily modulated and somewhat otherworldly voice, "May I?"

Dimitri jammed his index finger and thumb into his mouth and whistled loudly in approval of Zaheer's abilities. The guy had awesome abilities and energy abound, two things that were immediately considered pluses by Dimitri. After Zaheer gave his performance, Dimitri began to bound towards teh stage, however he stopped upon noticing two things the first was the metal that clung to his neck and collar bone, which he quickly broke off, the second, was the stand that had once held the punching bag that Zaheer had torn open. "Oh, um, gimmie a sec!" He said before running over and grabbing the stand to drag it onto the stage. The process was a bit awkward -Dimitri had nearly slipped on sand twice- but he eventually got the stand onto the stage. Dimitri tapped the stand experimentally to see if it was nice and sturdy before clearing his throat, "Since this thing's already busted, I hope you guys don't mind too terribly if I use it to show what I can do!".

He didn't wait for an answer, he was far too eager. Dimitri stood so that the pole was about two feet in front of him before raising his arms and drawing upon his powers again. A sound like ceramic tiles rubbing together could be heard as Dimitri's arms jerked and his hands spasmed until his forced them into a jackknife position. The glittering effect that began to appear on his forearms arms was quickly replaced by an outcropping of liquid like metal that eventually enveloped the tips of his fingers all the way to his elbows. Unlike earlier on the bus, the metal armor lacked any openings around the finger joints, and was thicker in appearance. The hefty appearance of the metal was not just for show either, Dimitri's arms slumped downwards a bit as the usually light metal was weighed down simply by the sheer amount of it. Dimitri lurched forward, then back, then forward again swinging his arms in a horizontal arc towards the pole, keeping his left arm slightly higher than the right. The sound of crunching metal filled the air as his hands impacted the pole and tore it apart sending the upper portion clattering off of the stage. Rather than stopping there, Dimitri shattered the metal that confined his left wrist to give him a bit more articulation before bringing his palm down hard on the portion of the stand that remained. There was a fair bit of resistance from the pole as Dimitri wasn't the most physically powerful person, however a combination of strength, persistence, and weight forced the pole to buckle under his hand until the pole was crumpled all the way to the floor.

With his performance done, Dimitri stood back up"I can cover my body with this stuff, but not all at once. Not sure whether or not that'll affect my ranking this year around. I hope you guys enjoyed my performance." he chirped as he gave a half bow. As he didn't want to waste time for other students to come up, Dimitri hastily scooted the remains off of the stage with his foot until he was far enough away to break away the metal on his skin and actually pick it up to walk away.

After Dimitri and Zaheer showed their powers Erin gave a small applause before walking up on the stage, since the strength department seemed to be filled by the previous two Erin decided to go for ranged this year. "Everybody should sheild their eyes because this might create debris" she said then pulled out a metal dart and took aim at the a pillar. While she took aim she dumped the kinetic energy from the bus into it before throwing it, the dart flew through the air at a normal speed But when it hit the pillar there was a large plume of dust and a cracking sound. When the dust cleared there was the dart, imbedded in the pillar though the pillar was almost completely cracked and ready to fall over. Erin then pulled out a marble and multiplied the kinetic energy of it by 5 after she threw it at a gel dummy that was at the other end of the hall. The blew straight through the dummies head and ca,e to rest after bouncing off a wall. After her display Erin gave a bow and walked off the stage.

@yukisaa"alright" jack said lowly as he stood up and walked to the center of the room, when he did he made ink runes appear on his face to look like face paint.

"My power is melanokinesis, the power to command ink"

Jack lowered his hood,revealing his piercing indigo eyes and cracked a wicked grin,jack raised his arms in a 90 degree angle,from his sleeves came torrents of black and white ink which rocketed towards the floor and scattered to form creatures

On jacks lower left formed a wolf

On jacks upper right formed an owl

Behind jack formed a leviathan

In front of jack formed a lion

In jacks hand formed a longsword.

"This is my power, my only limit is me own creativity!"

Ms. Chantal looked at Russel, "your turn dear"

Ms. Chantal looked at Eve and Ava.
"Eve, your turn!" saying Ms. Chantal, looking at Ava.
"I'm Ava" angry at the teacher, still making the same mistake 3years in a roll.
"Opps! Sorry my dear, Eve" said Ms. Chantal, making sure to have the right twin.
"Ms. Chantal, as I have stated in the 1st and 2nd year, and it's for the same reason that both me and my sister are in Hero support. Eve doesn't use Her powers for violence and you don't have the right stuff for mine. So please write on the sheet of paper that both of us are Hero Support and not to waste anymore time" said Ava, still angry, answering for her sister. taking a hold of her sister's hand, not wanting to be there any longer, leaving 1 shock teacher and a shock sister, following behind.

-After Gym Class, 1st Class-

walking from the gym into class, with her sister following her. "Come on Ava, it isn't that bad" said Eve, smiling.
"Shut it" saying Ava, seating down in her seat, waiting for the teacher.
