[IC] Mana-Script Academy For The 'Gifted'

[JELDare]

Slick stepped up to the podium. The boy was confident and strode with passion and a confidence which came hand in hand with cockiness. "Hello my peers, I am Slick Sloth Zairos, the third. Apparently I'm meant to make a speech about what I do and who I am, well I'm not. If you wish to find out about me, listen to my answers in class and talk to me like a regular person. That's all." With that Slick sat down ready for a year at his school.

[olcharlieboi]

Charles slowly stepped up to the podium taking small steps... the cloth on his arms waving in the air and his tail flicking in the air his face would be bit red from how nervous he is. he gulped.. his tail, horns, and strange outfit probably would be getting a lot of looks. "h.h.helllo" he say stuttering to everyone "I... I'm... C...Charles.. McCloud" he would look like his about to explode having to do this "I um.. well i...can..... Please treat me well!" he suddenly says then quickly moves back to his seat sitting down, his face still red as can be from standing infront of so many people

[JELDare]

Great, Slick thought. We've got a shy guy over here, this will be amazing, he's not going to get bullied, at least I hope he won't.

[Aisling]

Miss Agatha Rose Merriweather Pendragon may not have much but she had a few ancestors that were noteworthy enough to speak of but why should she speak of her great great grandparents whom she never met and only heard stories of. Mim Merriweather never married but was excellent with her powers and Mordecai Pendragon had his powers as well. They were well..... if the information was correct, very close to each other.
Which the union yielded her great grandfather, Zubloo Merriweather Pendragon. What a name! I might as well go up and get it over with.

She stood up and literally glided up to the podium. A slight breeze along the ground could be felt as she glided while a soft yellow aura hung around her body.

"Salutations, fellow students. My name is Miss Agatha Rose Merriweather Pendragon. I am here to study and to learn. I wish to learn about each of you and perhaps even befriend a few of you as time goes along. If anyone wishes to know more about me, feel free to speak to me when we have time to socialize." Agatha spoke calmly and was quite happy with her speech. She glided back to her seat with her slight breeze and sunshiney aura.

[WittyWolf]

Azrael took a few steadying breaths, trying to calm his racing heart beat. He'd never spoken in front of a group like this before, it was nerve-wracking! Before he started overheating and sweating, Azrael started the long journey to the podium. Standing behind it, he squinted slightly for a breath, wondering why the school needed such bright lights.

"Hello Mana-Script Academy, my name is Azrael Arcana and I am a first-year student here at this Academy. While I have had great mentors in the past, I know that the instructors in this school are the best and brightest known on this vast world. I hope that we all succeed, but I aim to prove to myself and everyone that I will be a positive contribution to this school. Please, treat me kindly and I will do so in return. If you wish to know me personally, I am always open to making new friends! I hope the Academy treats you- and myself- well, have a magical day." Az bowed his head slightly, and proceeded back to his seat.

This place was wondrous and the students just as impressive. Yet a small part of him missed the forests, mountains, and sea where he had first begun his magical training. He felt as if he could get lost in the sea of faces that he saw before him. His sword embarrassingly clinked against the metal of his chair, reverberating slightly in the silence following his introductory speech.

[Flood]

Chen walked up on stage with an air of confidence and authority. He looked around and smiled. "Hello fellow students. My name is Chen Chideta, I am here to become stronger. I do hope you can all provide a challenge for me." He stepped down from the podium with a cocky grin and sat down in a seat near the back of the room.

[The ghost in black]

Next Aleksandra walked up to the podium and gave a small bow, "my name is Aleksandra Galino and I have come from the far east" she said without a hint of hesitation but a lighter and more accented voice than what would be expected from her and she heard some snickers from further back from a group of tall muscle bound jocks "Abided by the rules of this school and we shall not have a problem" she emphasized the word problem with a stare that would almost rival a beast when it hunts aimed directly at the group which shut them up. After that she adjusted her gloves and walked off the stage but not before thanking the school for allowing her to be there early. When she got back to her seat Aleksa folded her hands into her lap and waited for the rest of the students to make their introductions.

[TheUltimatum]

Apollo had a sketchbook out. He was drawing every person whom went on the podium. This was his way of passing time... and the way he spoke. Once it was his turn he walked slowly to the podium. Once there he began to write on his sketchbook. He then raised the sketchbook up high.
"My Name is Apollo Eros, There are two reasons I'm herex the first is to discover more about myself" He wrote, In a way that didnt mean that he wanted to find out about his Personality.
"The second is..Well you'll find that out soon.." Apollo wrote. He then walked back to his seat and continued drawing, but himself this time. He was emmiting a Transparent Aura currently, a strange "color".

[WittyWolf]

Azrael noted the second to last of new students, although the boy with the drawing pad was certainly an attention grabber. It didn't seem like the guy was shy, so why didn't he just introduce himself? But the girl Aleksandra was infinitely more interesting to Az, as she had briefly emanated elemental magic after silencing the snickering idiots further back. When she sat in his row, Azrael took the initiative and moved covertly, sliding down until he was hidden behind the row of seats in front. He walked over, looking like a gorilla bent at the waist, nearly dragging his knuckles. He sat next to the girl who looked ever ready for a fight. In a hushed tone, he tried to introduce himself for the second time, although to an audience of one this time.

"Hi, my name is Azrael Arcana if you didn't catch it before. You're Aleksandra, right?" He tried a small smile, but it had been a long time since he had actually talked to another human. The Elemental Spirits weren't the best at dialogue. "I couldn't help noticing, but are you an Elementalist? I am too and I'd really appreciate if we could be on friendly terms, maybe help each other out this school year?" Azrael offered his hand for a shake, hoping to bridge the gap from strangers to at least acquaintances.

[The ghost in black]

When Azreal stuck his hand out after introducing himself Aleksandra took it with a bit too much though didn't seem to notice. "To see another elementalist is good," she said in the same hushed tone but her dialect slipped "I would like to work with you very much" at this Aleksa let go of his hand. She gave a small smile but then was back to being serious when the next student went up to the podium. As she sat in her chair she began to feel as though more powerful students were yet to make their appearance.

[Zetsuko]

you would think that after thirteen hundred years Kieran would get the hang of sleeping...well nope, he keeps forgetting that his body needs that to function a full capability. He hadn't slept for several days before coming here and it was taking it's toll. He had stumbled in late, around the second introduction, and all the while he was in his chair his eyes were nearly closing and his head kept tipping. He barely caught the names of most of the other students here. as the introductions went on it was getting harder and harder to resist the urge to sleep, the slight breeze and warm aura coming from the girl next to him, Agatha, only served to make that urge stronger. And so, he was suddenly using Agatha's shoulder as a pillow as he gave in and passed out.

[Aisling]

Once everyone had introduced themselves, Agatha looked about for the one person who really interested in- a male who had an aura around his body. She was nervous going up to a stranger- particularly a male. She did not easily make friends but her curiosity got the better of her. She still floated so there was a slight breeze but now the aura surrounding her body was quickly changing to a sparkling rainbow bits floating around in a grey mist of nervousness.

"Excuse me.... If I heard your name correctly you are Apollo Eros? I find your Aura very interesting and thought that perhaps we can talk for a bit. You know, get to know each other?" Agatha spoke quietly.

[WittyWolf]

Azrael felt a tad rebuked when Aleksandra suddenly shifted her attention, but he hadn't interacted with anyone for some time. Maybe many people were cold. Either way, his hand strayed to the hilt of his blade, a nervous habit. His fingers roamed across the almost scaled texture of the handle. "Good, I have questions that maybe only another Elementalist could answer. Find me when you have some free time," the boy requested with a friendly smile and a small nod of respect. Azrael wondered at the other students, so different in their behaviors and powers. He wondered how Aleksandra channeled her powers to make the elements, when he had to use their source to conjure them. Perhaps learning other arcane arts would help him in this pursuit.

It was no wonder this was the place the Spirits recommended. Silently, he interwove his fingers together, closed his eyes, and sent a prayer for good fortune to his Masters. He could feel their energy flow into him, a warm feeling of connection that said that he would never be alone, even if he made no connections in this place. He knew his powers were just starting to grow as he aged. He hoped this school would unlock his potential, and his weapon's. While the assembly was underway, he listened to the introductions of other students as he slipped into a half trance, a practice that helped him absorb more magicka. The room was awash with different energies and it was almost overwhelming! Yet, Azrael's strength may have been less than others, his talent was refined and very controlled, allowing him to separate his own mana pool from the others.

@Aisling
Apollo looked up from his sketchbook. He nodded towards the girl. Once he looked at her, he got a small headache. He wasn't used to reading people's aura, let alone one with this much color. He closed his eyes. "Thats me...Say would you mind lowering the color of your Aura a bit, it's hurting my eyes.."

Apollo stood up and put up his hand as to shake hands with her. "Yes, My name is Apollo, My abilty is Aura Manipulation and something else I think..."

[TheHangedMan]

A short groan, and the sound of a chair toppling over - that was how Meruin Hazy awoke from her nap. She had been asleep since the very beginning of the introductions, her easily fatigued body jumping at the chance to have a break at any moment. It was no surprise that the only time she would wake up was when she'd fallen too deeply into her sleep, and consequently fallen along with her chair.

With a startled gasp, the short mage stood up, rubbing her now sore head. Looking around, she realized that most people had already introduced themselves, judging from the way some of them were already chatting with each other away from thei seats. Meruin frowned. She had yet to introduce herself, yet to do so now felt like such bother; at the very least it was embarassing. Still, here was no helping it - more or less, she had to follow the norm at times like these, even if it was inconvenient for her.

With a sigh, the short mage pulled her chair upright and walked to the podium, rubbing the sand out of her eyes and yawning as she did so. Once she was there she opened her mouth to speak.

She remained silent for several long seconds.

Meruin closed her mouth, looking thoughtful. Her emerald eyes scrunched up in thought on what to do next. Accordingly, she was supposed to introduce herself, but asides giving her name, she was unsure of what to do next. Years of living with her Master had severly impaired her social skills.

An introduction was the key to first impressions, which were in turn crucial for social relationships. Master had sent her here for more than just developing her magic, but also for Meruin to grow more accustomed to interacting with people - a skill she sorely needed.

After a bit of thought, Meruin knew exactly what she was going to say.

"Hello everyone, I am Meruin Hazy. I hope to get along with you all?"

With that short introduction, Meruin stepped off the podium, looking unusually pleased with herself.

[Flood]

Chen let out a small snort as he watched everyone interact. He opened his eyes and they glowed blue as used the power of The High Priestess. He scanned everyone here and frowned. They were weak. So, so weak. He hit the Meruin girl and he blinked a few times in surprise. She had so much magic. As in she knew many types of Magic, she herself was quite weak. The others were barely better, Azrael was some generic Elementalist along with Aleksandra. The Agatha girl held no interest and Sloth... what the hell?

"I can't scan him? What?" Chen got out of his seat and moved closer to Sloth in Ana attempt to get a better read on his powers. "Nothing. This is insanity." He muttered under his breath. This year just got interesting.

[olcharlieboi]

Charles would glance around the room, seeing people begin to interact with each other... he would almost seem smaller in size than he was earlier.. in terms of magic he had little to none.. but then again his main attribute relied more on his stamina and physical body than anything else. he would look at some of the people that seemed nice when they had introduced themselves, and thought about speaking to one of them.. but then his shyness kicks and he starts thinking about what if they wasn't really so nice.. and he curled up in his seat thinking this.. almost looking to be even smaller.

[Aisling]

@TheUltimatum

Agatha looked down at her body.
"I'm sorry. My moods reflect in my Aura. I'll try not to be so curious. This is the main reason why I am here. My name is Miss Agatha Rose Merriweather Pendragon.I know it is quite a mouthful so just Miss Agatha will do. I am not sure that I have another talent or ability but I am good at gardening and making potions.

May I sit next to you? I noticed that you have been drawing basically non-stop since I noticed you. Perhaps you have a photographic memory?" Agatha spoke gently as she tried to calm herself. When she is calm there is no Aura to be seen around here.

[WittyWolf]

Everyone seemed to be very informal, moving about the room freely even though all of the students had yet to be introduced. Was this the level of discipline these students showed their institution? Azrael sighed, slightly disappointed. It seemed many held open contempt for those they thought to be weaker than themselves. His Masters had taught him that the measure of man was not how he treated his equals, but his subordinates. They had said a wise human had said this and they had thought it a pertinent lesson. It seemed many of the students' studies, while extensive in arcane study, was severely lacking in the philosophical. Out of those introduced, Azrael made a list. A few had very vibrant pools of energy, although they were obscure to the boy, further proving his own assumption that his education was sorely lacking.

Two students seemed to have taken a rather instant liking to each other, Agatha and Apollo. Chen and Slick seemed to be two sides of the same coin of confidence, while one seemed to have arrogance the other simply held a self-aware pride. Charles the shapeshifter seemed to be very shy, but not short on a want to be included. The last, Meruin, she seemed to be distinctly different than the others and similarly unaccustomed to life among the masses. Perhaps she would be the next that Azrael would talk to, for her mana held countless numbers of characteristics that he couldn't begin to unravel. "She must be very well educated... I might want to start a friendship with her, it would help immensely with my search for the Spirits." Azrael thought to himself. She might even help him find three of the most obscure of the Spirits: Metal, Time, and Void.

[MagusDream]

BGM: Beautiful Days

As the last person left, the boy bite his own tongue. He was really nervous since he was really not good with being social like that. Even so, he stepped on the stage, looking at everyone.

"H-Hello, everyone. My name is Agni Blackheart, but you can call me as Flare. That's... uh... a nickname that a friend gave me and that I'm proud to have.", he said and thought about everyone back at the Hidden Realm of the Technomages. The dimwit, yet famous diva Pamela Armellia... the rowdy and uncontrollable hermit Lynda "Lyn" Hermit... and his best friend Cruz Meister. He sighed that no one would be here with him, but he wouldn't give up studying on Mana-Script just because of that. "In any case, I hope we get along... I think...", he said, scratching the back of his head and finally leaving the stage.
