Well, they can still hear vibrations XD Sooooo the bells and sound will still make sense.

Sure, I'll reduce the size of the snake.

Yes, the poison is more effective if the full dose is inhaled, but with the help of a rag or cloth, it can be delayed or minimized.
Appearance:

Name: Enma Youhei

Age: 19

Village: Iga

Weapon: A normal katana with a large red bell hanging at the end of the hilt. His summoning comes from the red bell. Enma has small bells attached to his waist that ring whenever he moves. Since Enma is blind, he is dependent on the sound waves of the bells to bounce off of surfaces and hopefully, track down his foe. He also relies on sounds made by his foes (footsteps, voice, grunts of pain, etc...) to fight.

Tattoo place: His right eye

Special power:
Underworld Exodus: Summon Mikadzuki

-Mikadzuki is a giant snake who uses poisons to attack. Mikadzuki is as large as a house, and can spew out a cloud of poisons to incapacitate foes. The snake's skin is covered in poison which can make attacking the snake with wounded arms or legs a deadly decision. However, like his owner, Mikadzuki is also blind and relies on hearing and smell to track down enemies. This would mean by removing sound or scent, Mikadzuki is completely useless, except for unleashing the poison cloud which is deadly as well for Enma...
-Mikadzuki can be killed as any snake could be... Decapitation, and the like. Mikadzuki has, of course, sturdier scales but it can still be broken by strong attacks. The snake is also vulnerable to magic.
-Once Mikadzuki is killed, it vanishes back into its 'realm', and it will take Enma a week before Mikadzuki is fully regenerated and can fight for him again.

Bio: Children with disabilities are often looked down upon in society. They can't fight, they can't contribute to supplies, nor can they even provide entertainment. This was the life of young Enma, a blind boy. It was quite obvious that he was the least favorite out of the 5 sons and daughters that their family had, and as such, Enma had to find his purpose outside of the village. The boy knew that he would find little future inside the village, so he left for the forests to find his purpose within the eternal night in his eyes.

No one really knows where Enma went after he vanished from the village. Well, not that anyone cared where he went or what his condition might be. However, during a skirmish against the Kouga, the clan's rival, the Iga warriors were losing. When they were about to abandon all hope, a figure came from the shadows and struck down the pursuing Kouga warriors. The sound of bells resonated through the air as the Iga warriors turned around to see a tall figure, clad in black garments, a katana in hand. It was only upon closer inspection did they realize that it was the long lost member of their clan.

It didn't take the Iga clan to accept Enma again into the clan... For most, it would seem that Enma's return was expected, and 'meant to be'... For Enma, however, his return brings something more than just redemption. Everyone knows that the clan had rejected him because of his sight unseeing, now, some fear that Enma might be harboring feelings and emotions unseen.

Other:
-Enma is BLIND. As such, he relies on sound to fight. The most effective way to counter him is to, of course, stop making sounds. While Enma does have his bells on his waist, it's quite easy to sever those bells so that he can't use the sound waves to track down enemies.
-Enma is not immune to the poison that Mikadzuki gives off. Should Enma be caught in the poison cloud, while he is quite resistant, he can still be damaged.

Only ONE will survive.
Sylph stood outside of her dormitory room. Her head leaning on her stave. "Life born... Life ended... life brought back... Trampling with what's beyond the veil is one of the filthiest arts I could imagine. Life is sacred, it should not be trifled with." Sylph mumbled to herself as she waved her hand on the door. A series of clicks ensued as the door softly swung open. Sylph walked slowly to the window. Perhaps it was Cadmus' or Zmerr's deed that her room was situated near the sea... It was a beautiful sight especially during the night. Sylph began to sat down as a chair swiftly dashed to her.

The night breeze swept through the windows as Sylph pulled down her hood, her silver hair swaying with the breeze. On nights like this, Sylph would always sing of a tale about a group of gypsies who had helped their neighbors. The song entails the gypsies' journey to Faerhad where the governor plotted against them. The song turns into an elegy for the gypsies who were humiliated and massacred. The elegy ends softly with silent wishes that the gypsies' deaths be avenged.

Without noticing it, a tear had found its way to Sylph's cheeks. The wizard was a bit surprised, but as quickly, she wiped the tear away. Sylph stood up, setting her stave aside in the process. She took off her black hood and robe, replacing it with a white night dress. Sylph looked at the small candle on the counter beside her bed. The wizard uttered a chant as the candle ignited, illuminating the room in a warm glow.

Sylph sat on her bed as she contemplated the things that had happened today... Meeting new people, meeting old faces, and most importantly, being reminded of the reason why she was still in the academy.
Sylph nodded as Cadmus began to interact with some students. Suddenly, Cadmus flew into the air and after a brief moment, he landed back again near her... nearly causing Sylph to stumble. However, she regained her composure, and once more sighed and became serious.

"If there is a dragon who is challenging you, Archmagister, wouldn't it be quite dangerous for the students? That rival dragon might use your students as hostage." Sylph replied with a serious and cold tone. "Then again... a hostage will just be part of a mage's life, isn't it, Archmagister?" the wizard continued, as if redirecting Cadmus' statements. Sylph fixed her hood as Cadmus told her that she would not be excused from her classes.

"You have known me for eight years, Archmagister. You should know that I am greatly indebted to this institute, and I would be damned before skipping a class if it isn't important enough." Sylph replied without looking at the dragon. Sylph saw some freshmen who had just arrived, however, she wasn't in really in the mood for greeting late comers at this time of night.

Sylph approached one of the students... the young lad who had thrown a bucket of water. That thought humored Sylph to the point where she actually smiled. "A freshman as well, eh? You kinda look familiar... You resemble someone." Sylph observed the lad before she chuckled. "Never mind. Well, if you're going to survive in this academy, you're gonna have to think of something better than throwing a pail of water into a raging flame, kiddo." the young wizard chuckled as she thumped her stave on the ground to maintain his attention. "Well, the night's late. You best head to the registrar's office. Take the hallway until you get to a crossroad, and go left. You'll find the office. Your name will be checked, and your room given." Sylph reiterated Cadmus' instructions with precision. "Well, hope you sleep well, freshie. You're gonna need it tomorrow." Sylph smiled gently as she turned around and saw Sir Zmerr come into view.

Sylph slowly approached Zmerr. "Mr. Zmerr. You're quite late to the action. Nonetheless, it's thanks to you that this flame was detected early. Thank you." Sylph bowed as she looked up again. "I'm sorry your sleep had to be disturbed. Well, I was able to give some introductions to the froshies over there. Worry not, sir. It's best if you rest your weary soul. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day... literally. Don't you think so?" Sylph chuckled as she pulled her hood. "Well, a pleasant night, sir." the wizard nodded as she walked away to her dorm... the only sound coming from her was the thump of her wooden stave.
Sylph looked up at the silver and blue Archmagister Cadmus... She had seen this mage ever since she was a freshman, and up to this day, a chill would creep up her spine just by sensing Cadmus' arcane essence. Cadmus took off in a gust of winds as she wanted to see what Cadmus would do... She hadn't seen Cadmus use any magic yet, and she wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by.

"Pinas Venti." Sylph chanted as a huge gust of wind emanated from her feet. Suddenly,she was thrown into the air. She wasn't flying, no... another magic was concerned with flying. Rather, she was gliding. The winds were functioning as her tool to glide. The wizard slipped through the hole, and out into the evening sky. She glided to the ground as Cadmus flew past her. Sylph ran near the flames as Cadmus began to cast spells of utter complexity... Suddenly, a huge spout of mystical waters burst forth and began to quench the flames.

Sylph marveled at the mystical waters; the water was of a blue shade unlike any other water she had been able to cast. "I wonder what kind of spell that was... With only a wave, not even an incantation." the young wizard was at awe with Cadmus' ability, but as quickly, she became serious as Cadmus spoke to the people around. Some teachers were already there, as well as some late students.

"Archmagister... With all due respect... This flame must have spawned instantly... I only managed to sense it because I was near. It was an evil and murderous flame. Whoever casted it must have been learned in the dark arts." Sylph examined the burnt remains. "In all my eight years of staying here... This is the first time that this happened. If it wasn't for Sir Zmerr, this flame could have gone unnoticed. Furthermore, it seems that whoever was responsible made sure that no fire sealing spell could affect it." the wizard mumbled as she leaned on her staff.

"If I may say, Archmagister... Instead of it as an attempt at destruction... You were in the perpetrator's mind, sir. I think... the flame was meant to be a challenge against your power." Sylph said softly as she bowed her head. "Someone or something... might be challenging you, Archmagister Cadmus."
Sylph relaxed to the sight of the night sky as she closed her eyes. Suddenly, a horrifying chill ascended her spine. A huge magical force had been unleashed... So strong that she became nauseous with it. Sylph's weight shook a little bit as she tightened her grip on her stave, almost as if trying to support herself desperately. Without waiting for the lad's answer, Sylph sped off, the power of the winds upon her feet. The wizard quickly arrived outside of the school as she saw a raging wreath of green flames that licked the stables and anything around it to ashes. Sylph tried to approach the flames but a sick magical essence prevented her from approaching any further.

"Flamma de malo, ut redigatur ad ignes; dormite iam, sitim extin!" Sylph uttered a complex magic to seal the flames; she could create one, she could also try to seal one. A fiery pentagram formed in front of her as the green flames began to extend towards her... However, the emerald fires erupted into a barrage of sparks as Sylph was sent flying a good meter back. She stood up... groggy and shaken. Sylph knew where to go next... Archmagister Cadmus.

Without a moment's doubt, Sylph sped off again to the officer of the great mage. Sylph barged through the door, her hood down, and her black robe stained with soil. However, Sylph froze in place as she saw Mr. Zmerr and an unfamiliar face inside the office. Then again, she knew that Zmerr had already seen the flames... he had told her that he would sleep, and the mere fact that he was awake could only mean that he was forced to be.

"Pardon me, Mr. Zmerr." Sylph bowed as she looked at Zmerr. "I believe that, you sir, have already seen the flames?" Sylph sighed as she knelt to the ground, one knee touching the earth, and she thumped down her stave as a sign of respect. "Although, I never thought you'd bring a freshman along with you, sir." she smiled gently before looking down.
Sylph redirected students to the different sectors as she sighed and heaved her stave. The young wizard strode off to the dormitories once more to check whether she would now extinguish the flames that she had created. There were some students there, probably the new ones, and it seemed as though their attention was directed to someone of interest... It was the young lad from last time. This was not even a person of interest. However, she could tell from the lad's reactions that their glares were making him uncomfortable. Sylph shook her head as she begin to usher the students to their rooms.

"Off you go! You wouldn't want to be pandas on your first day tomorrow! Go back to your rooms!" Sylph sent the students back as she approached the young lad. She didn't say a word. Instead, she softly thumped her stave on the ground in order to get his attention. "You're a water elemental, huh? That explains the moisture that you brought with you the first time you came here. I've seen a lot of wet and sweaty people all my years here that I didn't think you'd be any different. Well, the blueish combo should have been the kicker." Sylph smiled as she looked at the flames that she had created. She then looked at the young lad as she noticed his downcast gaze, and his tensed structure that hid his actual size.

"Sorry for those flames." Sylph shook her head as the flames slowly died out, eventually enveloping them in a dim light. "Appearances beguile our attitudes towards others, hence, I believe that in the dark, all is laid bare." the wizard leaned on her staff as she looked at the night sky outside of the window in front of her. "My name is Sylph. What's yours? If you want, I can direct you to your room as well." Sylph introduced herself as the moon's light reflected on the jewel on top of her stave, creating lights that danced around the corridor.
Sylph smiled back at Zmerr before she walked slowly away; the only sound that came from her was the rhythmic thump of her wooden stave. The dormitories were located just a few meters from her current location. There were only a few lights there were kept on... It was supposed to be sleeping time, but apparently, some latecomers just didn't catch the message. The corridors were a bit dark, and it was quite obvious that some students who had arrived earlier were already sleeping. Sylph smiled to herself as she thought of how peaceful the night was. The young wizard looked around as she noticed that there were still some new arrivals... Sylph had taken it upon herself to welcome these tardy asses... as if she was trying to repay a debt that she had owed to the school.

"Ignem Tenebris, Calor Noctis, Beatus Calorem" Sylph mumbled as tiny orbs of flames spawned a few feet above the ground, illuminating the darkness of the corridors with a warm and welcoming flame. "That should avoid any stumbles." the wizard mumbled as she stood a few meters away from the gate, directing students and helping them with their queries.

She was not technically paid to do welcoming procedures, but she felt lighter doing it. Well, soon, these freshmen would inevitably be shocked at how different this academy would do things. The rigid and strict schedule and standards are just one of the many things that make this academy attain its undisputed strength. Sylph felt her eyelids grow a little bit heavy, and she realized that she had not slept for about two days now... She was busy learning non-verbal casting that she had to stay up at night just to get a grasp of how it works. She didn't dare do a non-verbal magic without a teacher... it could cause disastrous results if done improperly.

"Come on... Come on... Hurry up.. You can gawk at the rich-ass amenities tomorrow. I'm getting sleepy here." Sylph mumbled impatiently to herself before smiling and answering some student queries.
Well, Sylph has been in the academy for 8 years... she might have seen weirder things that XD Hence, she's quite... uninvolved in the lives of others... Perhaps though, you could interpret it that Sylph noticed that the guy wasn't human because he was 'sweating' too much.

I dunno XD
Sylph nodded as she leaned on her wooden stave. "A pleasure. The name is Sylph." she replied with little emotion in her tone. Suddenly, another freshman appeared. How did Sylph know that it was a freshman? One, he looked clueless. Two, he looked extremely clueless. Finally, three, he is clueless. Sylph looked at the new arrival, her eyes observing the new person. Something was different from him... almost as if he wasn't human. Well, not that Sylph cared any further.

"The school is still receiving students even up to the late afternoon. They understand that not everyone has the luxury of teleportation. However, once you've been given the class schedule, they become tight with it." Sylph muttered. "Believe my words when I tell you that things will be different from here and beyond... If you lot are freshmen, I'm a super senior here." she gave them a little tip; almost with an annoyed look. She noticed that the newcomer's figure was similar to a readied battle stance, as if they would attack him at any moment. Sylph smiled softly as she adjusted her hood. "This school is quite safe... No dangers of any kind... Is what I'd like to say. However, as long as you abide by the rules, nothing much will happen to you. You don't have to be so tense." Sylph shook her head as she eyed the water elemental.

Sylph looked around as she closed her eyes, as if in thought, and opened them again.

"Well. I believe you lot are tired from your travels. The students are in dormitories, which means you will be sharing a space with your fellow apprentices. No horsing around in the dormitories though... the keepers tend to be grumpy about that. Aren't you, Mr. Zmerr?" Sylph chuckled softly as she looked at the two freshmen in front of her. "You might want to rest your heads. I believe that along with your letters, you've got your room assignment. Go and rest your heads for now... You may never rest the same way again after your first few terms here." Sylph smiled grimly as her tone became a bit sinister. "Well, cheerio."

Sylph turned around as she began to march off to her dormitory... Well... Assuming someone was assigned with her....
