I let out sign knowing that there going to be a brawl between the new boy and new student, I didn't tell her my name yet but it probably for the best, I don't to be on her hate list right now. I turn to yuki and Melissa which I haven't say hi to "should we stop those two before things get of hand?" I ask them

@Polaris North@medalliah

Lucy was shaking inside. She felt like she would throw up and she wasn't sure of it was because she had the guts to stand up to that asshole or the sick feeling that she just secured her fate. She partially knew she was fucked because her abilities were more emotionally connected than at will
Relax yourself, Lucia. Imagine control. Imagine Peace. Then you will control it.
That bitch made no sense. Her powers were explosive and what kind b of sense does it make if your inner peace can explode things. Fucking lies
A tiny bit of her was scared because the last time she used her powers a hole was made I'm the wall and before that.. Her whole world was shattered in one instant.
Because of her.

Yuki saw that her actions were appreciated. That was good. However, things turned sour when Lucia decided that this wasn't good enough for her - as if wanting the entire school to revolve around her wants only. However, the one that completely hit her nerves was the fact that the girl was disrespecting the headmistress's decision. She could hear the others audibly gasp at this. There was always that one delinquent that didn't want to meet the status quo here, that wanted to break free of the hierarchy placed - but attacking the headmistress, even verbally, directly? That was pushing it.

She had wanted to give Lucia another chance. Her outbursts earlier were fine with Yuki. She seemed like a person with anger management issues. She could respect that and try not to pull anything that might anger her. However, by disrespecting the headmistress herself, it caused a lot of problems. Her tone became ice cold when she responded to her, "Yeah, I will. I have full confidence that we'll see the reason why he's here once we get to know him better. He wouldn't be here if he wasn't safe." Her eyes narrowed, obviously restraining herself from charging at her. "There's a very fine line between being opinionated and being downright disrespectful. Please, do know your place."

Yuki believed that everyone has a say in this. They could approach the teachers or even the headmistress to voice out their complaints. However, Lucia's actions went above and beyond that. Yuki didn't want to restrict her freedom of speech, but that kind of attitude was unbecoming of a student of Heartshine. She mentioned something about just being stuck here? Well now, if she could control her powers correctly, then maybe she could get out of here. Obviously that wouldn't happen. She bit back the remark as Melissa came and took to the heated area - a slew of curse words directed at Lucia was uttered.

Another one, Elizabeth, stepped up to quell the situation but with the tensions so high between all of them, it was obvious that it wouldn't work. It only ended with Lucia blowing up at her too.

Then the male finally spoke up. Despite the feeling in her gut that told her that she should look out for the guy, his tone of speech and general calmness seemed to quell the doubts in her mind. He sounded formal, a little bit too formal but nothing a good friendship wouldn't fix. He tried to calmly dissuade Lucia out of it, but she responded with reinforcing her threat - whatever that was.

His next lines seemed to make her tense up. It had been lower, and almost like a growl. He issued the challenge - a fight after orientation. Of course, these fights would be approved by a teacher and it wouldn't be a fight to the death. Black lightning flashed around her, followed by flame - that made Yuki understand what his powers revolved around. Destruction perhaps? Both elements were often stuck with destruction after all. She knew all about that, considering her own understanding about her own powers. Lucia accepted almost immediately.

Elizabeth commented about how they should stop it. "They won't do anything right now. If the fight is mediated by a teacher, then it would be fine." Yuki pointed out, her speech now returning to its original tone of voice. She then followed behind headmistress along with the new male student. She bit her lip and then said offhandedly, "Besides if the guy didn't issue the challenge, I would have done it."

She then looked at her old professor who now served as the headmistress. "Would you agree to it though? I'll happily stand witness too, if that puts you at ease." Being one of the fourth years, standing witness to a fight - which meant that you would assist the teacher in charge with breaking up the fight when it gets out of hand - happens often. Since they were technically the seniors of all of them, they were called upon to be the mature referees, aside from the teachers and staff.

@sassy1085@Jaded@medalliah@Shadow Daedalus@shagranoz

Melissa was getting more and more annoyed; each person stepping in, then the boy having to step in and agree to a fight? No no no! Melissa played a loud note on her guitar, the sound echoing off the walls. She'd had enough.

"You've done nothing but sulk, strop, and threaten things. Now you think you'll get to fight the boy just because you don't like him being here? That is NOT how magical girls works, nor how this school works! You" she pointed straight at Lucia "are an embarrasment to this school, and magical girls everywhere, and I'm not standing for you bullying your way into a fight against our newest student."

She stepped forwards, towards Lucia.

"You're not a hero; you're a coward, and if you try anything to him you'll have to deal with me."

@sassy1085@Jaded@medalliah@Shadow Daedalus@shagranoz

@medalliah
Lucy laughed for the first time in a long while. She laugher so hard her sides hurt

My BFF.. I guess I'll just have to take down two birds with one stone. Oh man!
This is Hilarious! I'm a bully? A coward? Well miss Goody two boots. I accept your little challenge.. And His too! 2 on 1! I can beat both your asses!
Lucy was still worried, but damn that girl was an adrenaline junkie! She didn't give a shit if she took on twenty! She just wanted to be known that she stood up for her opinion.
She did have a backup plan
She hadn't used it in... Actually since her parents died.
She didn't want to.
But she might have to if she didn't win.
Last time she used it, she was out for a week
She prayed she could control it

If things couldn't get any more rough, Melissa have been put in the fight as well. I tap on Melissa shoulder "Melissa, you don't have to do this. You will get hurt" I say to her "how about you go somewhere to relax until this fight blows over"

@medalliah

Oh, crap. First day on the job and I have to deal with this. Susan gave both combatants a death glare. "Enough, both of you! I will not have brawling in the halls of my school! If you want to have a duel, wait until we cover such in powers training. I will not sanction such after orientation, or any other time. If you do so anyway, you will be held accountable and subject to severe repercussions. Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?" The headmistress' voice left no room for argument.

Carmen had been watching the ensuing disaster unfold, clutching her spiritstone tightly. She had been ready to transform, purely for self-defense. When the headmistress put her foot down, the girl let out a sigh of relief. "Well, that was interesting," she said to nobody in particular.

Nero stopped walking as the loud guitar note reverberated off the walls, turning his head to look back as the purple-haired girl as she snapped at the overly aggressive girl. He was appreciative of the support, but he didn't want to get anyone else involved. As he began to open his mouth to speak, however, the Headmistress reprimanded them both. Unsure whether or not he was included in that, he nodded anyway.

"As you wish."

His voice had settled back to its normal tone, having been able to calm himself in the brief period after he spoken before, but he wasn't entirely sure that he would be able to follow the words he had said. From what little he knew of her, Lucy didn't seem the type to let this go, and may decide to ignore the Headmistress's warning and go behind her back anyway. If that were to happen, Nero wouldn't hesitate to defend himself, and neutralise her if necessary.

Melissa smirked, and shrugged. "Sure miss, I'm chill" she said to the headmistress, before turning to Elizabeth. "Don't need to worry about me girl, I'm the best" she winked "but cheers anyway. Elizabeth right? I remember you, ice girl. How're you doing?" She took a few steps back, waving over to the boy to invite him over.

She also winked in Carmens direction, the girl oozing confidence.

@Polaris North@sassy1085@Jaded@medalliah@Shadow Daedalus@shagranoz

@medalliah
@Shadow Daedalus
Oh... She wouldn't let this shit go lightly. No one would be changing her mind. He wanted a challenge and she'd never turn It down.
"You ain't getting out of this. She pointed in Nero's direction
"Neither are You. I don't give a flying fuck if God Himself says I shouldn't. " She pointed at Melissa also.
As with most heat of the moment things. She had nearly forgotten why she wanted them to fight anyways. Of course this was worsened because Lucy's mind was a fucking zoo full of crazy animals that RA wild in her mind. Nothing was as simple as it seemed it should be.

"oh good, during the summer, me and my family went to our summer home at the beach to relax" I said to Melissa with smile. it was great to talk to Melissa again, I feel like it was too long but it great to talk a friend again. "how about you Melissa, did you learn any new guitar tricks?"
@medalliah

Melissa jumped out to even fight the Lucia herself which made Yuki a little surprised. Melissa was quite the character, that was for sure. Yuki seemed to calm down after that, seeing as the matter was resolved. She placed both hands behind the back of her head but stiffened when the Headmistress got angry. First day on the job and she was already stressed. Probably should tell her about the hole on the wall tomorrow, so that she could relax a little bit.

"Welp, you heard her. In power training it is, I'm looking forward to when we cover it this year." She said out loud with a light chuckle. Melissa and the new guy seemed to calm down as well, respecting the Headmistress's decision. There was little they could do to change it anyway. Lucia told them that this wasn't over and she would still be waiting for the duel but neither of them seemed to pay her any mind.

She saw the first year girl who had been talking with Melissa earlier clutching her spiritstone. Yuki bounded to her before patting her shoulder, "Not a good first impression huh? Sorry about all that. I promise we're not usually like this." She assured the girl whose name she didn't know yet. "And don't worry, if fights ever broke out, our teachers are more than capable to stop it. Trust me, I've seen it in action." She said before adding another chuckle.

Her eyes were drawn to the male and then waved at him, "And you too, sorry about the not-so-warm reception and the fiery first day. Hope you don't leave, it'd be a shame to see the first guy to get powers leave because of this." She told him. It really would be a shame. After all, this was supposed to be the most interesting year she had in Heartshine, and also her last. If he would leave, then it'd be less memorable than it would be if he stayed.

@Shadow Daedalus@shagranoz

Susan seemed to have cleared the situation up nicely, so she continued on to the classrooms. Most of the students had seen this all before, but she knew that the new ones would be impressed by the classrooms. It was always nice to see those who had been poor or even middle class drop their jaws at the high-tech learning environments.

"Thanks. It's nice to know I have friends here." Carmen tried to smile warmly at the other girl. "I'm Carmen. First year, earth powers. You?"

"New tricks?" Melissa laughs, grinning "been playing nearly non-stop all summer! My dads been on tour so I went with him. Still not allowed to play on stage but I got to play plety backstage. Showing up nearly everyone with how awesome I am. And what about you girl? Relaxing at the beach is fun I guess; I'm a bit too energetic for that, but plenty of time to watch the talent wearing very little, right?" she winked "party tonight, you're coming right? Gotta welcome the year back in style!"

@sassy1085

Lucy looked around the classrooms. She was never impressed by the sheer volume of world put into turning these girls into heroes or some shit. Her? She never wanted to be good. She just wanted to bring normal. They put her as a way to help control her powers (And partially as a way of parole). It hadn't gone well. There was chatter among the Teachers that if she couldn't control her powers by the end of fourth year they'd hold her back. She would rather die.
Her mind was rather preoccupied however, and obviously so. She was plotting ways to instigate a fight between her and that Zero kid. It didn't matter if that bitch Melinda got involved. She wanted to show him who was boss around and Newsflash: It wasn't him. She also wanted to show him that he wasn't welcome here. Is that being a bully? Hell No. He deserved it the moment he had the balls to walk through the gates of this academy.

Nero wasn't surprised when Lucy tried to threaten him again, but he paid her no heed aside from a glance through narrowed eyes. So far almost every sentence out of her mouth had been a threat or belligerent comment, so he didn't need to listen to know what she was saying. And as he had decided before, he wouldn't hesitate to put her down if she started something. He sighed through his nose before the two girls waving caught his attention.

At their beckoning, he made his way closer to the musician and the tomboy and tilted his head forward slightly with a small, polite smile in greeting. They both seemed to be part of the minority, being so openly accepting of him as a male, but he was glad that they were able to see past that much of him at the least. The musician girl seemed to be absorbed in a conversation with a girl with chilled aura around her, so he decided to speak with the girl in the masculine uniform. The girl in question was accompanied by a young girl with brown hair, but she seemed neither accepting nor sceptical of him, a blank slate if you will.

"I appreciate you being so accepting of me. You'd don't have to worry about me leaving the academy, I have a purpose here and it would be difficult to fulfil that if I allowed myself to be chased away by a foolish girl with a hair trigger and something to prove.
Nero Aurea, A please to meet you both. I am a first year student also."

It was probably a little strange that he was a first year, seeing as he was nearly 18 years old in appearance, but it made a lot of sense considering that he hadn't been seen at the school during any of the previous years. That wasn't to say he hadn't been present, he had simply arrived before Susan Nakamura had taken over as Headmistress and instead used his [Deception] ability to transform himself into various nondescript animals, most notable a raven more often than not. He wasn't sure if any of the student's had ever actually noticed him, but it was of little consequence.

"Of Course I will, as long it doesn't past our bed time" I say to her with a smile, it been a rough first day of school but it was nice talking to a old friend "should we head to class Melissa?" I ask her with my bag ready to go.

@medalliah

Seeing everything finally cool down, Yuki nodded to herself - as if pleased. She turned to the first year and gave her a lopsided grin. "If you ever need anything, just call me alright? I know every nook and cranny of this here school." She then gave her a teasing wink. "If you ever need a place to hide in, I assure you - I've got plenty." Another chuckle escaped her lips. She never did have a perfect record and when she cut classes, either because she just didn't feel like it or something actually happened, she always knew where to go to hide from the teachers. She would get an earful when she came back but she at least managed to delay the inevitable.

Yuki was about to reply when the boy had waltzed over. "Hey, you're the first guy I've heard of that has powers. Who are we to stop the growth of that?" She pointed out with a shrug. There's really absolutely no reason to hate him just because he had powers like them. It's as simple as that in Yuki's mind. Perhaps it's just because her thought process is simple that it allowed her to be so accepting, but she saw no problem with that. "Well, good luck with whatever that purpose is. Like her, you can just holler at me if you need anything. I am your senior after all."

No, it didn't surprise Yuki as much when Nero said that he was a first year. If she wasn't mistaken, anyone would start at first year no matter what the age - unless they actually have complete mastery and excellent experience in the battlefield. So she simply brushed that certain fact aside. "Yuki Asahiro, nice to meet you both. I look forward to seeing you two in power development. It's always nice seeing first years training. Oh, and I control lightning, so you can say I'm pretty destructive at times." To demonstrate, she extended her palm and flashes of lightning danced on her palm. Before anyone could catch her using her powers voluntarily, however, she closed her palm and shoved it inside her pocket and gave the two a wink.

The blonde followed the Headmistress with Carmen and Nero. She didn't look impressed by the classrooms considering the fact that she had been using them for the past three years now; but if they saw her at her first year, well, you could say that she was practically giddy with amazement and excitement. Have you seen the classrooms? They were practically two decades away from what she was used to in her old school. "I heard colleges or even universities don't have as advanced tech as you see here in Heartshine. Looks like it'll be a pretty hard transition back to the stone ages." She joked.

@shagranoz@Shadow Daedalus

The tour finished without any real further incidents, thankfully. Susan nodded at everyone. "Okay, folks. Classes start tomorrow. For the rest of the day, you have free time. Go out, see the town, and have fun!"

Carmen smiled at Yuki. It was so nice to have a friendly person around in a new place. "Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to make good use of it." She turned and asked, "Anyone headed out? I'd like to see what's around here, and I could use some company."

"Oh Elizabeth...there won't be a bedtime" Melissa laughed, wrapping an arm around Elizabeth's waist "let's go view the same boring classes then. It'll be fun, right?" she shrugged, following on listening to the yawnworthy tour of the same boring rooms. She let go of Elizabeth as the headteacher turned back, and waited for her to walk away from them before looking over the group, picking out a few people.

"Okay, you, you you and you" she pointed to Yuki, Elizabeth, Carmen, and Nero "whatever you were doing this evening, it's cancelled. I have plan and you're all involved" a grin grew on her face, waiting for the reactions.
