Katherin looked from Einar to the teacher. She didn't want to get into trouble. But she wanted to be the boy's friend. She nodded when she heard another boy point out that Einar didn't need all of them to help. They probably coukdnt all help at once anyway. Too many people trying to help would only confuse him. "I think that he is right. We all can't help you at the same time. I will let Drake help you Einar. I think he can be of more help then I can be. Maybe we can talk later."

"I'm sorry teacher, its my fault... They are trying to help me with the task" Einar said looking to the teacher

*Sigh* "I'm sorry to be rude, but don't believe that anyone asked for your opinion Cabal."

"As I was saying, stay with me, lets try to be friends. I don't like the fact that on our first day we have already literally thrown ourselves at each other's throats. Think this way, we will have to tolerate each other for QUITE a while... we should at least be friends." Einar said, shooking his head disappointed.

"Yes, I need help with English, and i'm really moved and grateful that you all offered to help me. As I said, i'm not very used to people being kind with me" Einar said, looking to cabal as he spoke the last sentence.
"Believe me, I wont forget the fact that you offered to help me. For vieras, friendship is a thing that we take very seriously." he said with a kind smile looking to Mira, Katherin and Drake. "Although, the opposite is also true..." he said with a quick glance to Cabal.

"Cabal, please, lets try to understand ourselves. Just think about this, you'll see me for years. Don't you think its better to be friends, or at least indifferent, than enemies?" He asked.

"Yes, it is a little selfish to want that all of you help me, but I'm trying to use this as a way to know you better. After all, as I said, it may be a little early, but the small fact that you care about me, its enough for me to call you friends." Einar said, taking their hands and holding them on top of each other, smiling.

Cabal Works While Also Sniping At Einar!

Cabal paused. Slowly, he put down his pen and turned to give Einar a blank stare. Was this boy serious?

"I don't believe anybody asked for your opinion either, Einar," sniped Cabal, "and yet for some reason you've decided to give it anyway. Isn't it funny how convenient opinions are so long as you're the one giving it?"

He picked up his pen and resumed his work, but continued sniping at Einar.

"And that was not an opinion. It is a statement of fact: Or do you mean to tell me you needed the help of three people of varying skill? Ah, but as you stated, you are not after their help; you are after their affection. To that end, you've taken them away from work they could have done, for nothing more than to fulfill your desire to forge bonds, however tenuous.

"There is time for work, and there is time to forge bonds. To mistake one for the other is not a "little" selfishness, it is selfishness in the extreme, and I do not tolerate selfishness.

"And if you truly want to understand me, then I'll tell you something: my first enemy was my mother and sisters, whom I tolerated for ten years. In comparison, being around you for half that time is paradise."

One quick glance at the book and Cabal nodded, satisfied with his work, before turning to Mira. "Can you check this please? I'm afraid English isn't my first language. I've done what I could, but grammar wise I am unsure to how it translates."

*sigh* "Your arrogance never fails to amaze me, Cabal. I really need help, but i'm also using this fact to make friends" Einar said, looking to Cabal, disgusted.
"I don't know about you, but I want to make allies, not enemies."

"Your arrogance disgusts me. Differently from you, I value friendship and bonds."
"Tell me, foolish boy, you despise "affection" and the effort to forge bonds, yet you are trying hard to call Mira's attention. Well, aren't you the mr hypocrite..."

"Ten years, you say? I've lived my entire life using my claws and skills to survive. Leave me alone, pitiful fool. Are you realy that worried with me and what I do?" Einar said. "Please, leave me alone before I lose my calm with you, those who don't value the power of allies and knowledge, are fools, eager to die alone."

"I wish that we can be friends, even having to deal with him and mr hot headed" Einar said looking to mira, katherin and drake.

"I'm very grateful for your offer to help me, but it seems that cabal is jealous, because he lacks the social skills to talk like an educated person" Einar said, getting up and asking the teacher for help.

Leo watched for a moment as Suba fell fast asleep, snapping him out of his thoughts of ghosts and their educational capabilities. He wondered briefly what to do. He was pretty sure that sleeping wasnt allowed in lessons.

Being the ever helpful person he is, he proceeded to gently poke her in the head a few times, before taking a pack of tissues from his pocket and placing it next to her head. With that problem over, a new one arose, with several people nearby beginning to argue, with it becoming rather heated. Arguments between monsters were understandably worse than the average human one, so he slowly moved his chair so he was slightly closer to them.

This was not something a poke and a pack of tissues was going to help. And that was a thought he didn't want to think about.

"Um..." he said, raising a hand to get their attention. "M...maybe we shouldnt fight here, and stuff? You guys only knew each other for about an hour so far, maybe whoever...wait, i mean, whatever! Whatever you are fighting over, it can be talked over? Er...later? As in, not in the middle of a class?"

He then proceeded to hope that those two didnt notice that he was probing their minds.

@Vulkan

"We are not fighting yet. I'm not exactly in my best mood, so i would appreciate if you could let me alone."

"I tried to make friends, really did, but it seems that everyone is worried about being such ridiculous arrogant pricks. Well, i've passed my entire life alone, Nothing changed." Einar Said with a cold expression. Any smile that was there before is completely gone, giving place to an emotionless, cold stare.

[KatherinWinter]

@TheHangedMan@13org
Katherin felt awkward standing in the middle of the room.bur she didn't know whether she should stay or return to her desk. She hadn't expected a fight. Especially on the first day. She bite her lip. She really didn't see what the problem was. Yes it was selfish of Einar to want everyone help but she understood his longing for friends. She watched Einar go up to the teacher. Her chances of making a friend seemed to be shrinking. She sighed and returned to her desk.

[ViannaNight]

Mira was quiet as she watched what was happening between Cabal and Einar. She didn't know what to do. All she knew is that she had finished her work. She looked at Cabal when he asked for her help "Of course I will" She scooted her chair closer to his and started comparing his answers to hers even though she had no idea if hers was right. She watched as Einar walked up to the teacher to ask for help. She felt sorry for Einar, from what she understood he had a hard life but so has she. She would admit that it was a bit selfish to want everyone's help but she couldn't blame him either. She looked at Cabal again "They look good there is only a couple that differ from mine but I don't even know if mine is all right" she said blushing a bit "Can we talk soon? I am curious about a couple of things" She gave him a small smile. I am going to need to talk to Einar as well at some point when he is not so upset. She thought to herself.

@KatherinWinter

It took me some time to finish my work, but after it was done, I gave a satisfied and confident grin to myself. "Only fools need to check their work, someone as great as me doesn't need to check perfection." My handwriting on the paper was horrid, in perspective it would look like a first grader would've have written on it. Yet I didn't seem to notice. I'd get up to turn my work in, then returned, glancing over the drama that ensued.

I gave another smirk as I saw Kathering seem to distant herself from it, and I would speak to her. "Some drama huh?" I gave a light chuckle to try and ease the mood. "I wouldn't worry about this, this is just how the higher ups in the food chain establish their dominance. One that settle downs things should smooth over." I reassured her, my smile turned less cocky and more of a genuinely friendly one.

@olcharlieboi

Getting near Katsuragi-sensei's desk, Einar looked at her

"Katsuragi-sensei, I'm unable to finish the task, I only know how to read and write in my native language. I've never learned to read or write in English. Sorry to ask you, but could you please assist me?" Einar asked, with cold, distant and emotionless eyes.

"Again, i'm very sorry for all the commotion caused." he said bowing his head

[Jurassic Weeb]

Drake returned to his seat, ignoring Cabal's comment. He knew that putting so many different races in one school would cause problems. Then again, races varied as widely as dragon subtypes-- violent, peaceful; intelligent, dumb; caring, jackasses. His mind wandered a bit, back to when he had first been told he was going to Yōkai Academy.

The teacher sighs "I wasn't talking about your group" she states "I was talking about the fact one of my students leaped out of her seat for some unknown reason and is now fast asleep" she states

She raises a brow at Einar "surprises me you can speak English so well when you can't read or write it" she points out. "You should of had some teachings when you was younger about english" she says "plenty of your fellow students have offered to help you" she points out "unless you think they aren't able to do so you didn't need to come up here"

[13org]

@olcharlieboi

"The only English I have ever heard before running away from home was from an old merchant that used to tell me stories about the world outside the forest. He was the one who teached me to speak English."

"About my classmates, you saw what happened when I tried to ask for help, and make some "allies". I was born and raised alone, there is a reason why my name is Einar. This is what I am, and I am very tired and frustrated from trying to change this uselessly."

"I'm satisfied if you only teach me the basics, but if you cannot, I will understand." Einar said, emotionless

[ViolentViolet]

It was unfortunate for the Siren, that when she walked into the classroom, the air was practically solid with the tension. She wasn't aware of what was going on then, though, silently passing off her note to the teacher she smiled and nodded before heading over to her own assigned seat. The black haired girl might not have come across as the most elegant or royal, but she clearly wasn't shy as she sauntered over to her desk. For the Siren though, acting shy was a difficult matter, and as she passed the largest group of students, she cast a wink and a flirtatious half-smirk in the direction of Cabal, Einar and Leo - it wasn't clear who it was specifically meant for.

Sitting down at her desk, Serona flipped open her text book to read through the lesson that she had missed. Luckily for her, she was rather gifted with languages and the English wouldn't be too hard for her to fly through.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin wasn't so sure about that. She didn't think they were going to find a way to work together. That didn't even seem to be on the list of things they needed to learn. Which didn't make sense. In the human world they couldn't do things like this. Well in some places she admitted. She looked out the window. Maybe coming here was pointless. She didn't need to learn to blend in. She rarely revealed herself anymore.

Leo nodded at the teachers words, muttering apologies under his breath as he moved back to his seat and stopped reading the minds. To be honest, he was getting kinda bored of this. He hadnt been cooped up in a room with other people for ages, and he was feeling a little boxed in. He wanted to go outside, find somewhere quiet, fire off a few illusions for his amusement. Being able to create images with your mind was always fun. Better than TV.

But of course, someone could see...then everything would hit the fan. Shame.

He noticed some new person walk in. Usually, he wouldnt care, but he noticed her smirk in his vague direction. It would only be polite to acknowledge her back, so he did.
"Hello, new person!" he said, waving.

He then turned back, wondering if he needed to poke Suba again.

Cabal Calms Down And Decides To Put The Matter Off For Later

Cabal pointedly tuned out Einar. It was no use trying to talk to a delusional child, especially if they made assumptions based on nothing more than their own feelings.

Honestly, when did he state that he despised bonds and friendship? He did not, he merely stated that there was a time and place for it, and that his own race took their enmities seriously, but of course, Einar would want to see him in a negative light, so to that end he'd imagine any number of negatives about him -- exactly as a child would. Ah, but he forgot how naive he was, so perhaps rising to the argument was his fault -- he should have simply ignored him, and let him gather the attention he so-craved . . .

He sighed as Mira corrected his work. True enough, neither of them were too sure of their answers, but it was interesting to compare notes.

"Yes, I want to talk with you as well," he agreed. There were some things he needed to discuss with her, particularly about Einar. Perhaps he was in the wrong, and previous experiences were clouding his judgement. Mira seemed to be from a much different culture than he was, so her opinion would either validate or break his suspicions.

Cabal also paid little attention to the newcomer, merely glancing up and acknowledging her presence.

Idly, he marveled at how ineffective the teacher was being right now. She'd hardly done anything worth notice since they've arrived here.

Suba Wakes Up With A Splash!

Leo's poking was largely ineffective, and at most got Suba to scratch the area she was poked at. Her dreams being particularly vivid, she occasionally gave passing commentary as to what was happening in her dreams.

"Huehuehue . . . wun fwishies! Wun!" said a sleeping Suba, who began flailing her arms about. Then her face creased in concern. "Wayt . . . fishies down't . . . wun . . . no legs . . . snrk . . ."

Then a jet of pressurized water shot out and smacked against the back of Katherin's head.

"Ewhewhe . . ." she said, drool dripping slowly from her mouth. "Gwot zuh fwoggy! Papa wook!"

[ViannaNight]

Mira looked over to Cabal and perked up a bit "When would you like to talk? Also would you mind walking with me to our next class?" She said and gave him a semi flirtatious smile. He wants to talk to me as well? I wonder what about. She thought as she saw the newcomer winking and smirking in their direction. She felt a different emotion then she had ever felt before. She hissed under her breath barely audible. She shook her head I have no idea why I did that. she thought looking down at her desk. She blushed a bit and then yelped when she saw out of the corner of her eye a jet of water shoot out of the girl's, who was a sleep, hand. Now Mira was curious about what that girl was. She looked over her shoulder at the newcomer she gave her a small smile while thinking I am going to keep a watchful eye on that one

Well someone looks bored. Serona mused to herself as she watched the male who spoke to her glance her way before going back to his work. Perhaps he needed a little excitement to smile, but right then there wasn't anything giving her the opening to do say. Unfortunate. She would just have to wait for her time.

On the other hand, as she was taking her seat, the girl in front and to the left of her muttered in her sleep, splashing another girl with water. She would never have bothered to look over, if she hadn't heard a rather odd noise, though as her gaze lifted to see one of the other girls looking back at her. The girl smiled at her, and Serona returned it with a small wave. Her clear eyes watched as the females cheeks heat up, a small giggle escaping from between her lips while she watched her interact with one of the boys in class. Perhaps the boy was attempting to flirt with her, who knew.

[KatherinWinter]

@TheHangedMan
Katherin was startled out of her thoughts when she was hit by cold water. She shivered. She liked around trying to figure out what had hsppened. Why had someone soaked her? She had been trying to stay our of the battle of wills. She had no need to prove herself. She knew that she wasn't the strongest or the most powerful. She was alright with that. She accepted her place in the world for the most part.
