[@TheHangedMan]Arcadius simply nodded in response to her 'challenge'. "Very well, we will study it later then." He replied.

He arched a brow when she created a small miasma fire on top of his book, even more perplexed when he finger was smoking. He opened his mouth to speak and tell her about her finger being partially on fire, but shortly after she began stripping. "Why are you.." he trailed off, torn between looking away yet curious to see why the hell she'd decided to begin stripping in the middle of everyone.

Then he noticed the symbol, a magical brand, a contract. Hearing the explanation and her reasoning behind her stripping off in the middle of everyone, he relaxed a little and nodded. "I..see. Had you not been a member of the school, I most likely would have. But it's relatively easy to monitor the students here..being confined to the grounds unless a special occassion and what not." He told her.

Soon they were joined by the boy named Apollo, out of reflex he grabbed his Grimoire and placed it on his lap. "By all means." He told him, gesturing to her, halfway resuming his reading. He wondered how long it'd take him to realize Meruin was half naked, and it didn't take long.

It was rather amusing to see him clamor about at the realization of that fact, Arcadius chuckled. "Yes, please do put your clothes back on. You might offend the sensitivities of the rest of the room as you did to poor Apollo." He spoke, not looking up from his book.

The situation got even funnier when Chen decided to come over, stating that public stripping was illegal and handing Meruin her blouse. The whole situation was the most interesting thing that'd happened during introductions so far aside from the agreement between himself and Meruin.

Shortly after a old man stepped up to the podium and began speaking about the bracers and such, so, the fun part was finally beginning. Good. 

Upon the request to stand still, Arcadius stood staff in one hand and Grimoire in the other. He nodded towards the three, "Good luck" he told them. Shortly after they were all transported to different parts of the cave.

Chanting a few words he staff lit up shining brightly, illuminating the entrance. He entered the cave shortly after the voice spoke, a new test again this year it seemed. Good, he disliked being repetitive.
