Xavier watched with a straight face, though secretly amused as the aggressive boy created a scene up on the stage. He simply nodded at the headmaster's request to ignore the kid, agreeing that it was a wise move at that point of time. The boy had obviously done what he did for attention, and Xavier personally thought it best to simply continue not giving him any, and to only step in if he posed a threat to anyone else. He imagined the kid would be smart enough to eventually realize that his methods weren't giving him what he wanted and hopefully find other ways to deal with his... issues, preferably in a less violent and more civilized manner. But hey, I'll leave it up to Hargor...
Vera found herself curiously poking at the human-shaped blob of water as it led the first-years to the dormitory, expecting to be introduced to a whole lot more of things that were just as strange, and interesting, during her stay at the academy. If she was to be honest, the building probably didn't impress her as much as it did most of the other students, considering her family's rather magnificent mansion back home, and was that vandalism on the walls? Hmm, or maybe those drawings are supposed to be there... Not that any of it was unexpected, of course.
She gave the young woman at the counter, who seemed quite flustered, a warm smile, hoping to make her feel a little better as she signed in and received her key. Before going up to her room, Vera took a glance at the list of established rooms for all the students that had been put up at the dormitory, the first copy that the headmaster brought to the ceremony having been destroyed along with the podium it had been placed on. To her surprise, her name was the only one that appeared under her assigned room, while the other rooms had two names. Looks like they've taken in an odd number of students this time round, and I'm the one who gets to have my own room? That's nice!
The room itself was larger and a lot more comfortable than Vera expected it to be. She was delighted at the thought of having the whole place to herself, though, she had to pick one of the side rooms to sleep in, and they were both identical. She grinned to herself as she thought of a way to decide. She pulled a coin out of her pocket and tossed it in the air before catching and slapping it over the back of her hand. Heads for right, tails for left... She removed her other hand that was on top of the coin. Tails, the left room it is then... After moving all her luggage - a trolley-bag and a suitcase that were both slightly larger than average, into the side room, she proceeded to stare at them for a few moments, not feeling up to the wearisome task of unpacking just yet. She then decided on going back outside while waiting for dinner to be served.
Vera walked out to a gorgeous view of the setting Sun over the mountains, and an idea struck her. She quickly pulled her phone out and aimed the camera at herself with her back facing the Sun, snapping her own photo with the Sun and the mountains as its background. It would make a great memory of her first day at the academy, a new beginning, at least for herself, if not for anyone else.
