GM Post

Pablo, Jeim, Vane, Henry, Oscar, and Nikolay

Pablo instinctively enclosed Jeim in his arms, holding him tight before saying, “I was thinking of you, actually. And we’re boyfriends now?”

His expression was that of a puppy searching for affection, melting at Jeim’s touch even as his mind burned with the urge to try and ‘redeem’ Jeim as soon as possible, to show him that his mentor in the Hammers was an exploitative, even abusive, ass who would gladly throw Jeim away, not knowing that the Korean-Filipino/Filipino-Korean deserved more. How Pablo wanted to kiss the other student, to publicly display affection in ways others might deem scandalous!

But he won’t - Not when Jeim was just putting up a cover. Pablo nevertheless relaxed and softened his posture before saying, “I hope you’re seriously proposing - My heart will break if you’re just playing with it.”

Pablo knew he was doing that anyway - Jeim was too engrossed with preserving his cover to actually have a serious relationship. That and he was probably infatuated with his Mentor anyway. So he waited for the other young man to get off him, all the while as his own body was flowing with urges due to the closeness of Jeim’s own. How he wished that he were in Malenkov’s position right now!

A shadow then covered them both - It was a Human-sized Siege Tower, two meters tall and one meter wide, with tiny ballistae and catapults on top. It was a Noble Arm projected by one Kim Daehan, a full-blooded Korean who was another member of Malenkov’s cell.

“Can you two sick fucks stop with the public displays of affection already?!” the tall, well-muscled (though not as much as Henry) student shouted at Pablo and Jeim. “Some of us are trying to study here!”

Pablo whispered into Jeim’s ear, his composure recovered, “I think Mr. Daehan himself has a crush on me - Don’t ask how I knew that.”

“I heard you, you twink-wannabe!” Kim shouted, “And I’m giving you valuable life advice: Stop acting as if your life is your personal Yaoi Hentai fantasy - No one likes your ‘magical realms’ except yourself!”

Pabo whispered again, “He and I used to play Tabletop Games together - He plays overpowered characters with absurd combinations of skills, I GM scenarios involving his character ending up shirtless or… Unclothed. Let’s just say he throws shit at me for that, just as I complain that he defeats all challenges with a few rolls.”

“You’re just jealous because I am better at building characters than you are!” was Kim’s enraged response. “I can create characters with anti-everything chaotic damage, unlimited initiative ratings, divine armor, and multiple anti-world artifacts!”

A new voice broke in - A young Japanese woman, about 15 years of age, was patting Kim’s shoulder, saying, “Stop associating with the wilfully ignorant. Those who fail to see the truth we wield deserve naught but our scorn and bafflement that they do not think the same, elevated way we do. Once those who are smarter, more rational, and better rule the world, we can usher in Utopia.”

“Okay, goodbye!” Pablo said, even as the voice, the telepathic message from the Hammers, whispered into Jeim’s ears again.

These are Malenkov’s associates, Kim Daehan, the ‘Siege Tower’, and Kasumi Karasuma, the Arbiter of Fate. The former’s Noble Arm is plain as day, the latter is a Katana which tricks the weak-willed into thinking that it can alter Fate and Time. Once Malenkov is gone, you will either lead them or kill them.

The monotonous and boring wait for the class to start was broken up by Vane's fellow students. Their colorful nature naturally painting over the dull atmosphere of the room with their own vibrant life. Jeim's presence brought a smile to Vane's own features with the possibility of a fight ever so present. As he looked on at the blatant flirting between Jeim and Pablo, he became even more amused at the interruption.

"Come on, Kim. Let them enjoy themselves while the rest can study. It's not like the studious will be all that distracted by something like this, right?" This was a wonderful day aside from the early morning that forces him to wake up at a murderous time.

Though that little Japanese girl makes him want to act a little bit more like Keith and mess with her. Her self-assurance and unparalleled confidence is screaming at Vane to just poke and prod at it a little bit.

And so he did. "Aw, that was a little rude, little girl. Nobody really knows the truth of the world, so we're all ignorant there." He closed his eyes and felt a little smirk come on to his face as he pushed a little further.

"I'm already living in Utopia anyways. Guess that means I'm smarter, more rational, and a better ruler than you are, though you'll get to where I am with a little more experience when you grow up some more." He didn't even bother holding in his laugh.

As Oscar was waiting he looked away as he was watching the clock as he felt himself get lifted up as Oscar realized he was being man handled by Mt. Everest as he took a breath in and sighed as he felt his stomach hit the man's giant ass boulders for shoulders. As he let out a chuckle as Oscar waved Nikolay as he says, "Well talk to you later". As his voice trails off as they run. Oscar is laughing as he waves to everybody as he passes them by.

As when they come skidding to the classroom, there stood Jeimseu as he waved to them and made a more than playful face towards them. As Oscar makes a playful wave as he is taken into the class then set down. As Oscar is internally laughing at what a strange situation that had happened. He was carried and taken to class by Henry Mountain-born, as he ran past so many people and waved to everybody like a princess being carried by her prince? Yet that good mood fades slightly as he heard some people yelling/talking.

Oscar's eyes slowly fell to the perpetrators. As he saw some of the strangest people in front of him, a man the size of Henry, and a small Japanese woman. As the larger man seems to be bashing on…'Pablo and Jeimseu? Well never expected those two to be together. But that big guy could be less of a fuck face'. As Oscar was about to step in, he saw the girl go and break the argument quickly and they stepped down, but not without a sly remark. As Oscar takes a seat calmly and quietly he is having himself calm down as he was about to go off on that girl. Elitism is not something Oscar thought he was gonna deal with today. Yet as it seems that it is all that he is seeing. As he is about to take a seat as he hears Vane talk to the girl. Oscar almost spills over his silent laughter as he hears some of the dumbest shit Oscar heard all day. 'Vane, you need to stop you dumb-ass! Class is about to begin' Oscar continues to listen now even with even his smile hard to contain with Oscar now feeling okay and better after that angering moment.

Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin | The Imperial Fist | You Wot Mate?!

"I can't believe that I'm seeing all of this.", Nikolay grumbled with a low voice as he watched... many things unfold within the classroom. He had arrived in the room, reading a Warhammer 40K novel on his phone beginning from the moment since Henry bolted off with Oscar on his shoulder. They were a fun sight, those two; if Nikolay hadn't known any better, he would have thought that they were a couple. Would be a crack ship if they truly were.

Nikolay watched from the back of the class while obscuring his own face from potential prying eyes, looking at the fight that almost exploded right in there and now. It was those two, Pablo and Jiem, doing public displays of affection with no fear or care of what the other people all around them would think. Now these two were truly together indeed, and although Nikolay wasn't one that agreed with that kind of relationship as per his religious inclinations, he still found them rather entertaining to see, if anything. After all, he too was an affectionate one, though that was usually in private or when he is comfortable with the surroundings. This certainly wasn't the place, what with a Korean Siege Tower and another barrel man being in the room along with literally everyone else.

"I... Err, suggest that you all settle down. It's it's about to be class. And Daehan.", he said to the Siege Tower. "You can just them ask nicely without using your Noble Arm."

He looked back at his book, his face bearing a neutral expression. "Bozhe moi, if someone does something dumb just because of latent homophobia, I'm going to flip..."

The long haired Canadian came jogging down from the dorms. Book bag slung over his shoulder, in time to see Henry and Oscar, Oscar being held on Henry's shoulder. He blinks and laughs, "Okay that's a sight to see!" He grins and hurries to get to class. Waving to Nikolay as he passes with a grin, "Morning!" He shouts as he jogs on. "Gotta get to class before the Prof. gets there!" He slid around a corner and then slid a few feet into the class, waving his hands to the side and shouted, "Safe!" Chuckling to himself and looking around, spotting Jeimseu and Pablo, at it again. Henry and Oscar having beat him there and just behind him Nikolay, "Alright...I'm not the last one!" He then makes for his seat.

Just another day right? He hoped so outside of what ever the staff had planned with that visit. He looks around the room, not at all sure what to expect in the coming hours of the day. But this here, is a good start to it.

Fredrick is sitting in the teacher lounge doing some final prep work for class. The printer was being used up all day by the chemistry teacher. A little annoying but it's fine. Once he got done printing out his handouts for today he played with Emily a little bit "Aren't you the cutest cat in the world?" as he pet her. About five minutes until class he started he grabbed his papers and Emily and began to walk to class, waving goodbye to the other teachers. He took his time getting there. Frankly, it was more fun if he saw how the class progressed if he wasn't there. It always seemed like students go out of their way to cause mischief when the teacher isn't around. As he entered he got exactly what he was expecting a little mischief here and there. Fredrick began setting up for the day, watching them to make sure it didn't go too far. Speak up about the blatant Homophobia? Or the amount of PDA Jeimseu and Pablo is showing? Oh Kasumi breaking them up, that's good. As he went back to setting up, he listened in to what they were saying and the elitism she gave off was enough to make Fredrick eyes roll. Well at least it broke up without me having to get involved. Then Vane started looking for a fight with Kim. Oh for fuck sake please hold yourself back Vane. Oh he is now teasing Kasumi. You know what I'm fine with this, better than them fighting in here. Fredrick was thankful Nikolay tried to talk down Kim peacefully was a nice change of pace, refreshing actually. He gets the laser pointer today, looking at Nikolay. Alright, enough fooling around, it's time to start class.

Fredrick gores and taps his knuckles on the whiteboard to start gathering attention, "Alright everyone get to your seats so we can start." Fredrick looked at Jeimseu, "Also new rule, laps may only be considered seats if you are doing a partner project." Honestly Fredrick only cared because he believed that it would be to distracting for them to do that all class. Fredrick gave the students a minute to get settled then he walked to Nikolay placing the laser pointer on his desk "You get to use this to play with Emily today." with that he walked back to his desk and stretched a little. It felt like so much just happened in a few minutes. "So today Filipino senator Aquino and Senator Gutoc will be coming to the academy, so please be on your best behaviour for them. And with that I think we can start the class. Where we last left off we were discussing…” Frederick continued his lecture for the entire class period, only having 3 minutes before the bell. Completely forgetting to hand out the homework he dismisses the class a little early as he rushes off to get some water preparing for the next class.

As Oscar sat and watched the room waiting for the class to begin he noticed that Mr. Jones had already made it to class. As he seemed to have snuck in at some point when Oscar was trying to take in everything. Mr. Jones seemed stunned as he watched the class go on as it did. With him noticing the whole exchange of near fist throwing, Mr. Jones looked like he was getting near upsetting as then it quickly deescalated and calmed down. As Mr. Jones seemed to collect himself as he started to get the class together as Oscar looked around and watched people sit down and take their places. As Mr. Jones took notice of the lap sitting happening from the two love birds over there, and had made a rule for…only partner projects? 'Well at least he seemed like a very chill man'.

As Mr. Jones was continuing to speak, Oscar was looking around as he noticed…! EMILY! She was heading towards him as Mr. Jones was busy with getting on with the class. Oscar started petting Emily as he was waiting for announcements to be over, starting to rub the back of her ear, every cat loves this and Emily seemed to be no exception. As when Emily heard the clutter of the laser pointer hitting a desk, she started heading off to it, taking his heart with her.

As Oscar started pulling his head back up and started focusing on the class, first came the announcements of the senators. Oscar found it interesting to tell everybody of the senators arrival. After all, most schools in America didn't give a shit if the student body knew of their presence, just the people who were pertinent for their visit. So Oscar was very concerned, almost as if the Director was trying to make a showing of their work. Almost as if trying to show off, and that idea doesn't sit well with Oscar. But he has no time to think about that, the lecture is about to begin, and Oscar needs to make sure he does well. After all, his Noble Arm isn't going to gain him any higher marks to rank up, so he has to make sure his studies are the best thay can be.



Oscar had taken very well made notes, using his many skills he learned from his high school time, "Man Cornell Notes are really useful. Now I can transcribe it into Filipino". With his normal smile Oscar started to head out of the class with his notes, as when he passed by Emily, he realizes he has no self control with her. As he kneels down and starts to pet Emily and scratch her ear he sees she plops and lays down on her side for Oscar. A gasp escapes Oscar's lips as he slightly coos as he begins to scratch her belly, side, and right at the base of her tail. As his large smile ceases to end as he petted her for literal minutes, until his attention is pulled away as he feels his cell phone begin to ring. As he slipped it out as it was an alarm he set for himself. As it is telling him to text the others and see if they want to meet for lunch. As Oscar knew what he had to do, he leaned fully down and gave Emily a kiss on her head as he stood up to send a text to both Henry and Jordan:

---

As Oscar Chuckled as he set up the group chat with them, he started jogging off to the gym as he felt his bladder slosh. He stopped in his tracks as he started to take a fast walk to the nearest bathroom to piss. As he almost pissed his pants as he didn't notice his bladder this entire time.

@BigPapaBelial@dragonpiece

Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin

As always, Nikolay had taken a lot of notes, applying just about every color in the rainbow when it came to his highlights on important words and terminology out of all the things that the teacher had taught. He usually wrote his notes in his native Russian Cyrillic, translating his thoughts from English to his mother tongue before jotting them down. He did this on purpose; these were, after all, his personal notes, and he wasn't at all the type that let others copied from his work, as it was his firm belief that everyone should learn independence when it came to studying properly. There weren't a lot of other Russians in the school anyway, and it wasn't like he would actively let them copy either.

Nikolay licked his lips as he looked upon the food that was being served to him in the cafeteria. He wasn't sure what this was called, but it has been the stuff that he has been buying for the last few days that he has been here. It was probably called zinikang... or something. It was much better when rice is added, too.

He bowed to the lady over the counter in an attempt to give his thanks... only for him to remember that this was the Philippines, not China or Korea. The small minority of Koreans in Sakhalin were the only Asians that he had interacted for most of his life, so he kind of assumed that they were all similar... only they weren't at all. Embarassed, he simply managed to say 'salamat po' (thank you), though with a heavily accented tone. He need more practice...

Nikolay proceeded to look for people that he already knew; those he already considered to be somewhat familiar or amicable to him in this school of magical warriors. Thankfully, he found Jiem and Pablo. Together as always...

"Eyo, privet.", Nikolay said to the two. "Do you mind having a third wheel?"

Jordan sat through Homeroom, and grit his teeth, Emily had gone right past him, heading for Nikolay with the laser pointer and Oscar who got to pet her. He sighs, just a little jealous, "Ah well." He'd turned back to the front and took his notes. Nodding slowly. This day already getting off to a pretty incredible start. He's a little surprised to hear Mr. Jones tell everyone about the Senator's visit but well it is an important event. And then bang right into the lecture Jordan doing his best to keep up. It's a researched fact that most First Nations people don't do well in highly structured class environments. But well that's the way education rolls these days, So Jordna knuckles down and just does his level best.

He does get a brief chance a one point to reach down and give Emily a quick stroke along her spine as she passes. Getting a bump to his fingers in response, but he has other things on his mind after that.

As class winds down he's packing his things when his phone starts to play a tune, his ringtone/message alert carrying into the class before he digs his phone out and checks it.

Hey guys, I was wondering if
y'all would like to meet up
and talk shop about our mission
on protecting the senators.

I'll be off to the gym, I think
Oli would be fine with us being
in there to talk about this.

I can't wait to get started!

Jordan quirked an eyebrow and sent back,



His thumbs racing across his phone before he slots it away. Finishes getting his things back together and into his book bag. Then with a little skip in his step he starts to make his way down to the gym.

@Th3King0fChaos@dragonpiece



He'd seen the Firstie off after their gym class. He'd even gotten a few hig fives for getting them nice and worked up. But now as he waits for the next class Oli is alone in the gym. And he uses this time for a little practice.

A heavy bag hangs on one of the roller hangers along one wall. Oli without his jacket on, and the front of his shirt loosened is working the boxing routines. Jab, Jab cross, jab jab cross left hook. There's a steady whap whap whap as he hits the bag, all of this without practice gloves on. He starts to dance step a little, light on his feet, the strikes become faster, more crisp, the bag starting to deform and sway under the strikes. A flickering jab comes sailing out, it almost looks like a back fist but it's not quite that. The jab is followed by a cocked back right cross that rocks the heavy bag up a good 2 feet from where it was hanging.

In the time it takes for the bag to come down Oli has spun back and taken up the stance of Praying Mantis Kung fu. As the bag comes down Oli steps in, slipping past the bag, his trailing hand placing a piercing strike into the bag, a snapping crack as the bag is sent back again, Oli spinning to the side and a series of swift blistering jabbing strikes hitting the bag as it comes down.

Again Oli takes a step back and this time the blow is a planted forward front kick, his style having changed again, that tradiational Okinawan Karate. Power and form, the strikes are strict traditional blows but the power behind it is no joke as the heavy bag rocks again and again from the fist and kick blows. Again and again. Bang bang bang.

The change again is almost flawless, Pankration! The ancient Roman no holds barred combat art. He can't quite do it correctly but to see the motions of the eye gouges, the low kicks, elbows and knees. It's something else to behold as this ancient art, revived and remastered hammers the heavy bag.

But finally. Oli jumps back and away. And that particular echo of a Noble Arms summon ripples out from the gym. Oli bounces on the balls of his feet, a pair of glistening leather gauntlets on his hands, Oli settles to his feet, one foot slightly cocked, the ball of his foot resting on the floor, while the other foot standing flat....

There should be no reason for someone to be that fast! Oliver Cinter crosses the ten feet between himself and the bag. The whap or smack of his guantleted fist against the bag is more of a limited explosion. An expulsion of pure almost unadulterated power rocking the bag up. With a quick step and spin the kick he hits the bag with as it comes down sends it rocketing down the rollers, bouncing off the wall nearby and then back down to meet Oli's whistling fist.

This would be the scene for anyone entering the gym in the next little while.

Since coming to Trinidad Academy, Henry has been struggling academically. Henry spoke German and learned French. His mother told him he should have learned English but for some reason that he cannot remember why exactly he chose to study French. Well, whatever the reason it didn't matter much because he was paying it in full right now. Mr. Jones' class was truly the worst for him as it was a long lecture in 2 languages he didn't understand. If Mr. Jones' class was structured as, I don't know, a book, then he might be able to have found an online German version of it. But no, Mr. Jones was always excited to teach so just getting the job done wasn't enough. The end of class was accompanied by the usual headache Henry would get. With the small break in between classes, Henry would take the time to continue translating his notes. The cycle essentially repeated until lunch. Henry was already near burnt out. Luckily, Henry originally put his math and sciences at the end of the day because they were his favorites. Now science was just as bad as history but he still had math and honestly that was the only thing he looked forward to.

As lunch began Henry was already beginning to succumb to mental fatigue. He rubbed his forehead as he was coming to realize how badly he needed a tutor for either language. I'll start asking around when I don't feel like dying Henry thought as he entered the cafeteria. He was slightly ignoring his surroundings while he got lunch. That was until his phone vibrated. He pulled it out quickly hoping it was something that might ease his pains. After some more translating a light smile appeared on Henry as this is just what he needed to get his mind off of school, even if it is only for a bit. Henry ate his food quickly and started to head over, forgetting to send a text telling them he was coming.

Henry decided he should take a quick shower at the dorms first. Sharing a bathroom with 6 siblings had taught him how to get out pretty quickly. As he showered he used the 5 minutes to reflect a little on why he had been chosen to protect the senators. He thought it might have been his large size or the fact he wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying. Whatever the reason, Henry already said he would guard them on their visit and he plans on following through on his promises. Feeling less fatigued after the shower, Henry rushed over to the gym in a jog. Henry was looking forward to the meet up.

It took Hailey a few seconds to realize that Mr. Jones dismissed the class, three minutes earlier than usual. However, she did have some homework from him, which she’ll get done. The teacher was always the nicest and the kitty was adorable, Emily always made her smile. She was grateful she tried to stay out of the constant almost fighting in class by the two cliques in it. ”Something tells me if I stay here any longer one of those ‘bullies’ will harass me. I want to be friends with everyone not anyone’s enemies...” Hailey thought to herself, with a slight nervous look to her. It didn’t help she had a dark cloud always hanging over her head alike it is.

Hailey got up from her desk and pushed in her chair, which she remembered she almost forgot something. It was her ID, specifically since it was still in her desk, which she should really keep it on her. ”I need to really focus more about not forgetting things...” Hailey said, a bit loudly as if she was about to curse. She moved her chair again and got her ID to be in her left pocket in her jacket. It was frustrating to say the least, this was almost the 5th time losing her ID. She put the chair back a bit in a huff, which she hoped no one looked at her being angry at forgetting something really important. However, the task of protecting the two senators was a noble goal and all. But the dread started making her shiver down her spine, which caused her to shake her head.

It caused her to try to ignore the dread but it was ever present on her entire body. The one thing that caused her to run out of the classroom was no other than the fact she was afraid. Even though, she went to the cafeteria to get something to eat. She was hungry, which the food here was much different from the schools in America. ”I wonder what they got today out of everything, the one thing I like is when lunch is here.” Hailey said, happily. It was just like her to be cheerful when something as grateful as lunch happens. Positivity is much better than keeping to the negativity surrounding her circumstances.

Hailey ate her lunch quietly, which she always enjoys every bite of it. The good thing about living in the Philippines, which going to this school was the culture she could taste. She sighed and took out the picture of her parents, which looked so happy. This picture constantly reminds her of the good times instead of the bad. However, she put the picture back in her other pocket in her jacket. This made her reminded of her next class, which was PE. It was her second favorite class, while History was her favorite. The only reason was the fact Coach Cinter was a good teacher. ”I should get going so I am not late to class then...” Hailey thought to herself.

It took her a few minutes to put the tray, where dirty trays go and smile kindly towards the lunch ladies. Even though, this was the first time she forgot to finish her lunch. It was mostly because of the fact she stared mostly at her picture she carries with her. She decides to walk towards PE Class, however, it would be better to run since it wouldn’t be good to miss class. She wanted to pace herself, which would be better than exhausting herself before getting to class. It didn’t really take her that much time to arrive at the gym; even though she felt like it was a bit early. She saw something a bit amazing, which it was the coach basically training and being a speed demon at the same time. His training regime must be insane, though if he constantly does these things. ”Whoa… Uumm...” Hailey said, a bit out of breath and amazed. She couldn’t help but try to catch her breath while giving him a single clap of nice.

Hailey tried to catch her breath by breathing in and out and was leaning forward on her knees. However, she wasn’t really used to the rush type of schools but the scheduling of waking up at 5 o’clock in the morning was how she went to school in America. However, the Jet lag when she arrived in the Philippines was the worst though. ”Sorry for the interruption, Coach… but am I a bit too early or are you always exercising like this?” Hailey asked, slightly a bit better than she was. Even though she was still somewhat out of breath but much better before she arrived at the Gym. Always trying to push herself even though its hard to do so, when there’s so many super tall guys in her class.

====================Oli's Daily Surprise====================

During Oli's very rigorous session of exercise he hears his phone go off with a loud ding. As when he checks the Director had sent an email to him with some surprising news that Oli was not expecting. As the email can be seen as a relief to some and the worst case scenario to others.

To: Mr. Cinter and Mr. Falcon
From: Dr. Bathala
Topic: School Visit

Gentlemen, we seem to have a problem,

It seems the Senators will not be coming to the school this day. As the time table for the Noble Arms Registry act has been moved up in schedule. The senators will be focusing on the bill rather than attending the visit of the school. With their visit being postponed up to a week from now.

We will need to keep conscious watch over the students that have been chosen to be bodyguards for the Senators, as I wish not for any corruption to happen at this time. I will also be making a new list of students to act as a secondary contingent to watch over the Senators, as there is no doubt the riff raff will try to plan a stronger and more solidified idea of their attack. So we will have to use this time wisely in coordinating the students together.

I trust you two can take care with your watch over the students for now. Please inform the students of this new development. I will keep you updated on any further developments.

Sincerely,
Director Bathala

_{@BigPapaBelial @The Jest}

===============The Director's next Move===============

As the Director slowly taps away at his computer as he starts to scroll through files of students. Slowly checking through the list of people who would have very little to no reason to defect and turn on the Senators. Hoping to find more people already not corrupted or easily swayed his eyes scan many names, as a smile lands on his face as he begins to write down names and files. Slowly but surely he will find those of who he can use to bolster the Guard force.

===============Jeimseu's Whispers in the Dark===============

During Jeimseu's long looks towards the board of his classroom, as the lectures can sometimes feel boring from the multiple sections of just talking, he felt a tingle in the ear that quieted out the noises around him. Always a tell tail sign of the whisper was to appear and to inform him of something. As what could it be? After all, the information given should have been more than enough.

As a soft airy whisper following the air came as it spoke to Jeimseu, silencing the lecture entirely, "The Senator's visit will be postponed. Political partners have moved a bill up too quickly and had shifted the time tables. Keep close to those who you have been allied with, they will know more when the visit will take place".

As when the whisper disappears Jeimseu feels his hearing return, as he begins to notice multiple people begin to quickly look at their phones. Some seemed to have an expression of relief, others seemed to have no reactions, while a few made their face contort in grimace and ugly ways. All seeming to have clock work moving in their minds, as the air in the classroom feels stagnant. As when the class is released a calm storm emerged into the halls, as those unaware of the situation seems oblivious to it all. As those who do know, seem to have their eyes set forwards and very motivated on this new development.

_@WindsOfFate

===============The Shifting of Pawns===============

As Students get released and head out for lunch, a hurricane of silent scheming floods the corridors of the school. As cliques that have been made are starting to gather together and find some place to speak. As some scheme of what should be done now, while others had started setting in motion their machinations and schemes to set the balance in their favor to make sure their plans go well and set the world's love in their favor.

A week is not long, yet it is more than enough time for schemes to be plot. As eyes fall upon the three known bodyguards, now as it seems either they plan to corrupt them, to make their lives hell, or to make sure they are out of the picture right before the Senators get there.

beep, beep...

That phone had been ringing for an hour now; the ringtone was an endless series of high pitched beeps, assaulting the ears of quite literally everyone that hears them with excruciating, undying, and ceaseless pain. Or not. It was just that this ring tone was identical to the sound that the NTC uses when sending pings pertaining towards rising storm level alerts on everyone's phones. It was a common noise during the rainy season, really, as all those phones would go off at roughly the same, emitting the same screeching noise that everyone hates.

Too bad, though, for Nathaniel Gregorio, a student in Trinidad University, has not heeded it's call, refusing to rise to wakefulness for the third time this month. He was not one to like waking up early and getting ready for school, but now, his mother was about to bring out the tsinelas because her son just. wouldn't. Wake. Up!

"Hoy Nat-Nat, late ka na sa skul." (Hey, Nath, you're late for school), she yelled at his drowsy face while holding up the slippers. Oh no.

Nathaniel screamed as he was jolted to wakefulness by his ever so vigilant mother. He looked at the clock. It was far too late to get to Trinidad through normal transportation... Especially not in this country, where traffic was a hellish problem for anyone that wasn't rich enough to afford a helicopter. He obviously had a trick up his sleeve, though.

After eating breakfast and getting ready, Nath drew out his Noble Arms from its pocket space: a pair of antique revolvers that crackled with electricity. His mother, who was already prepped to go to work herself, waved him goodbye as he willed himself to turn to raw electricity, entering into the nearby powerline to travel through it towards the university...

---

---

Some of the lights dimmed for a split second as someone travelled right through the wiring that kept the entire power grid of the university connected. Some of the students would know who this was: Nathaniel, the boy who could travel through wiring by turning himself to electricity for a short time, was late. Again.

It was already lunchtime, so Nathaniel had already figured out that the first class would have already been dismissed. Such a sad fate indeed.

Either way, he would land, somewhere. And what better place would it be, other than near some girl and the PE teacher...? Ah, yes. Right. He doesn't know that.

A nearby light bulb would slightly crackle for a few moments as Nathaniel got nearer and nearer to it in his electrical state. Eventually, he came out of it, popping out rather gracelesly out of the bulb's surface as a mere coil of electricity in the millionth of a second before turning back to his normal self: a comparatively short boy that usually didn't talk alot.

Oof. He fell on the floor facefirst, almost breaking his glasses again. He hadn't quite mastered his abilities yet, and his exits were often clumsy like this, though this is useful as an escape tool nonetheless.

"I really need to get the hang of this...", Nath thought to himself as he then found his eyes on the coach... and was that Hailey? Nice, then.

"Hello Hailey.", he simply said as he stood up, though he was obviously a little dazed from his transit. Oh, no. He probably jumped her skin out, coming out of the light bulb like that...

Hailey had a specifically confused look on her face, which was odd since she goes to a school of 3,000 Students with Noble Arms. However, she tries to be friendly but not too nosy about other people’s noble arms. Basically waves and smiles at people, which are willing to wave back that is. However, she did introduce herself to her Homeroom Class in a most shining example of kindness she has in abundance. ”What.. the hell is happening? Uhh.. I can’t put my finger on it…” Hailey thought to herself, with a puzzled look and definitely looks scared. However, the dread washed over her even quicker since she had definite goosebumps on her arms underneath her jacket.

It took her a few seconds to slowly stand back up, with her heart beating a bit faster again. The one thing that happened was a short boy appearing out of the light bulb. Hailey wasn’t really expecting basically someone appearing out of thin air like that or from a light bulb. However, there was two things that it caused her to basically go white as if she was a ghost and get close from fainting. It took the boy’s voice to instantly recognize whom it was, it was Nathaniel. ”God damn it, Nath… can you please not scare me like that! It’s not like I’m magnet or something...” Hailey said, a bit angry and a bit relieved its just Nath and nothing else. However, she tried moving forwards to help Nath only for her to mix up feet and fall on her face. ”This isn’t my day… First hitting my head in the shower at the dorms and now this…” Hailey said, slightly more frustrated even though its her own fault for tripping. She couldn’t help but to tear up slightly only because it hurts every time she trips herself.

Hailey tried one specific thing, to slowly get back up even though she was still a bit frustrated and mad at Nathaniel. She was in a huff but it would be better to apologize first as she always does. ”I-I’m… Sorry for yelling at you… but can you pretty please, not do that again?” Hailey questioned Nathaniel. Her apologizes are always sincerest things you could hear from her, basically hopefully he’ll learn to control that power to make a better entrance than falling on his own face. ”Ugh, I just wish the day would end already… My mood is ruined with my clumsiness...” Hailey thought to herself, with a definite sour mood. However, suddenly she got a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, which was the dread got stronger. This caused her to shake more visibly even though there’s always that dark cloud hovering over her, which shows she is definitely afraid of something.

Oscar finished his piss as he sighed, washed his hands and left the bathroom feeling like a new man. A man who could take on anything and do anything! Well not that far, but still, as Oscar began jogging over to the gym he felt someone had responded to his text. He looked at the chat and saw:



_{@BigPapaBelial@dragonpiece}

As Oscar was happy that someone responded as Oscar made his jog into a sprint, as he wished to take the initiative and get to the gym first.

==================== At the Gym ====================

As Oscar made it to the gym, he made it in great time. Yes, he did sprint, also he knew it would have been faster for him to use the back entrance way, as it would make it seem like Oscar was here before the others. Yet as he began to enter the Gym he saw a strange sight to behold.

Oli was training, at a speed had not really seen people go at, and making lunges that would send Oscar into a whirl. As Oli started to quickly switch and shift in styles as he Changed his forms and shapes as he strikes and changes his range of attacks. For a moment Oscar was enthralled with every move and shifting of weight. As his eyes noticed the shifting and movements, as for a split moment Oscar saw a flash come from other side of the Gym. As Oscar saw two people clatter to the floor.

Oscar quickly made his way over as he found two people getting up from the floor. As Oscar got close he called out to them both, "Hey are you two alright?" As Oscar got close, he noticed the girl foremost, as he felt something strange as he neared. He got to a stop next to her as he felt as if a cold chill came over her. He had his smile out and said to her as he placed his hand on her shoulder that seemed to be shuddering, "Hey are you alright?"

Oscar looked towards the boy in front of him. As he gave him a small smile and extended the same concern to him, "Are you okay yourself?". Yet immediately goes back to the girl as she seems the most distressed at the moment. Almost like something horrible happened, and this little accident had triggered something.

Oli flowed getting into that state of mind where you just moved. The Great Oli remained in it's base gauntlet form the whole time. His strikes rocking the heavy bag back and forth. His fists beginning to leave indentations in the bag as he struck. And then he took a half step back, and well because he's in that focused state of mind he relaxes his arms to his side. A strange stance. His face goes oddly blank, expression neutral. And the kids in the room are in for a treat. There's a few small pops, and crackles of the energy inherent in Noble Arms. The steam starts first, from his elbows and elbow joints, the back of his neck and streaming from the waistline and out of his pant legs. A mean yellow glow flaring from his eyes and mouth, he mutters, "This must not register on an emotional level..." He took a step forward, "First, sweep kick to the legs, knock off balance. Using the off balance state, back hand high to ring the temple. Followed by this knife hand block of haymaker, to rear elbow blow to the chest, turn, flying spinning haymaker, to turning knee to the hip, left jab, back step into throat thrust, complete with 360 turning kick." This somehow almost wild combination of moves happened at a speed that should be impossible for anyone. But with the abilities of the Great Ali, it comes out clean, and sends the heavy bag slamming into the wall and off it's swinging rollers to crash to the ground.

Oli breathes evenly, having finished in a pose with his hands held together and pointing at the downed bag, "Summary, opponent with a bruised sternum, ringing ears, and fractured ribs. Potential recovery time four days, total physical recovery time three months." There is one last blast of steam before the glow fades and The Great Ali, those wonderful leather gloves fade from his hands, "Woof...uh? Message?" He reaches into his pocket and reads the message from the Director, "Well, that's...unfortunate." It's only then he turns around and sees Hailey, Oscar, and Nathaniel in the Gym, "Oh dear I'm sorry folks I must have been so focused I missed you all come in...are you alright over there?" He heads over to them worriedly.

Jordan had come into the gym just in time to see the incredible show of Coach Cinter going absolutely ham on the heavy bag. The almost crazed crash of the blows before the heavy bag slams into the wall then to the floor is an thing to see. Jordan just kind of stands there for a time then comes out of the daze of seeing it all. He spots the others and jobs over to them, "That was some incredible moves there Coach...I mean wow..." He looks to the others, "Hey guys. You all doing alright over there?" He grins a little. Then turns to Coach Cinter, "Sir...where did all that come from? Is that normal for your Noble Arm?"

Oli only grinned, "There are somethings a Arms user needs to keep secret Jordan. Just suffice to say one of these days all of you will be able to do something just as awesome." The Teacher grins, "So some of you have class and judging by Henry and Jordan you are missing one and are down here to...oh I dunno hang out?" He chuckles. He motions and walks over to the white board, "If you're here for classes you know my rules. Four laps jogging and two laps full sprint. If you're here for...other reasons. Head over to the benches for now."

"No, no, its cool.", Nath said to an apologetic Hailey as he stood up rather uneasily because of the combined factors of falling face down and putting his body in a state that he wasn't completely used to yet. If one asked about what it feels when he turns himself to electricity, he would be at a loss for words; maybe it wasn't something that could really be described in one sentence as it was a very bizarre experience and power to have. Anyway...

"I know, I know, I'm so sorry about scaring the hell out of you...", Nath said to Hailey, putting his hand on his forehead as it still stung from the pain of falling down. But it looks like you're the one that needs help now... you alright-"

At that moment, Oscar came in, and asked if the two of them were okay. "Oh, Oscar.", Nath said whilst facepalming due to disappointment on himself. "I overslept again... but, yes, I'm alright." How nice of that American boy to be so nice to everyone. It was very likeable.

And yet, that wasn't the end, as Oliver Cinter and Jordan Quinn. Now, Nath was quiet, as he had already confirmed that he wasn't injured or anything to two people already, and didn't want to repeat himself too much anymore. He simply nodded, indicating that everything was fine.

It took her a few seconds to realize that Nath spoke up, which was primarily because the dread was overwhelming her. It had never gotten this bad before, but she smiled towards Nath. Out of everything, she couldn’t help but to cry a little bit because she was utterly terrified. What he said next calmed her nerves somewhat but the dread was ever present. ”T-Thank you, Nath… f-for the apology.” Hailey said, with a heavily nervous tone in her voice. She did notice him touch his forehead and say something specifically about her. Its a bit obvious she needed help since she felt not that alright since she felt cold.

Hailey heard a very familiar voice, which is basically like her in terms of making friends, Oscar. Oscar, did interrupt what Nath was saying towards her. When he touched her shoulder, she couldn’t help but start tearing up. ”I-I’m terrified and a bit chilly… I don’t know why I feel this way… The D-Dread never got… this bad...” Hailey said with a tone of being utterly afraid and gave a hint of what’s going on. However, she felt the dread itself was angered by what she spoke and increased its intensity onto her. Hailey couldn’t help to be a little scared in why all this is happening now. It’s not like she could’ve angered anything, until it hit her. The strangest thing happened, even though the intensity was at its highest it slowly died down as if it was toying with her or something.

She couldn’t really understand why it went down until she recognized the coach’s voice. The strangest of coincidences, even though she did say what she was afraid of. ”U-Uhh, I’m a b-bit better coach…” Hailey said, with a look of utter disbelief and shock of the situation that surrounds her. In back of her mind, she basically knew one specific thing its her Noble Arm that’s probably doing it. However, she wasn’t going to tell anyone about that monstrosity, its too evil. Since she got here she hasn’t once used it, even though she did come to this noble arms Academy to train herself to use her NA.

Hailey came here for classes and nothing else really and knew the coach’s rules really well. However, another familiar voice showed up and it was Jordan. She just basically gave him a smile and slightly gave out a sigh. ”Could be better but nothing worse for wear, even though I am a bit clumsy...” Hailey said, in response to Jordan’s words. Its true though she is a bit clumsy but she does love the normal PE usual stuff in the class. She gives some attitude to the teacher when it involves the NA. ”I know about the rules Coach Cinter, I guess I should start doing that now.” Hailey said, towards the Coach. She was grateful for all the people worried about her but she did get up. Even though the dread was still there but at a similar intensity as it usually is before that little incident. She start doing the laps, which are six, four jogging and two full sprint. In the back of her mind, ”I am so scared that sooner or later someone will have to see that...”

As Oscar noticed the girl's face started to dribble tears as something seemed to be off. As she spoke under her breath as if she is scared. Something cold and dark seems to loom over her, maybe it was because something similar happened to her or whatever, Oscar didn't know. Yet he knew things like these are better solved with people, as alone is where many people trip up and fall as they lose hope and can't really find a way to pull themselves out of the pain they feel. He makes sure she knows he's there by just lightly keeping his hand on her shoulder.

As Oscar's attention was pulled away and toward the boy in front of him. As Oscar's eye came to the man, he heard that he was alright, "Ah well it's good to hear you're alright. You need to stop sleeping in so much." Oscar gave him a smile as Immediately his eyes twisted and pulled his head towards the very sporadic yet precise movements that seem to land with hyper precision. As his eyes quickly scanned the movements and watched the flow of each strike. Almost leading perfectly with each movement, gorgeous. Yet Oscar didn't watch long as he looked back at the girl, as she seemed to calm quickly as in comes Jordan as he remarks the display Oli had shown. Which was in fact a marvel of technique, yet Oscar was more focused on Hailey.

As She seemed to have lightened up enough to put on a strong face and even a smile. As Oli started to talk to them, splitting them up, as those who are early to class, and those here for, other reasons. As When Hailey was about to leave Oscar says to her before he heads off, "Hey, it'll be okay. Ain't no rain cloud that can keep a smile down". As he throws her one big smile and waves her off before he heads off with Jordan to the benches to sit and wait for Henry. Realizing that was cheesy as shit. He slightly blushes yet hides it well underneath his tanned skin.

The jog over to the gym was honestly what Henry needed to start to unwind. After spending a few years training he learned to make exercising his stress relieve. However it seemed that with his classes straining him more than usual, the stress was mounting quicker then Henry could dissipate it. It felt nice to break up his usual cycle of translating during lunch.

Henry stopped his jogging and pulled out his phone as he approached the gym. "I need to put a reminder to translate my notes when I get home" Henry spoke aloud, he had a habit of saying what he types on his phone. The habit worsened as he started to translate more frequently.

As Henry entered the Gym he saw most of the people sitting on the benches and a girl running laps. Henry, still being a bit drained, thought that you had to do laps before you could sit. I guess that makes sense as he rubbed his chin like he just solved a mystery. With that Henry began to start running laps. It occurred to him in his 2nd lap he didn't know how much he actually needed to run. Asking in English was out of the option for Henry as the thought of thinking of language was aggravating for him at the moment. He was stuck in a loop of wanting to ask and not wanting to think. Eventually he just projected his voice toward Mr. Cinter "How many laps do I have left?" in German. He didn't know if Mr. Cinter, or anyone in the gym, knew German. He prayed that someone in the gym would answer or he might just keep running laps until lunch was over.
