After the meetings of the Magical Association had taken place the school took down it's lockdown and school resumed the next day. All the students had experienced the threat of death in the last 24 hours, so the school decided to give them a relaxed day. All students were allowed to come to school if they wanted to, but it was not necessary for the next week. The school didn't want any student to be affected by the events of the previous evening.
All the Year 1 students had breakfast in silence in the dining hall. It was two eggs and streaks of bacon, with a pork or beef sausage and fried tomatoes. The students all ate their food and the only sound in the dining hall was the screech from chairs moving so students to get up to get a refill of their drinks from the dispensers. At 8am a bell rang, and all the students went back to their rooms or heading to the school block.
The students in every year that wanted to attend school had to wait in the main reception area of their respective dormitories until their dorm master and all their names and personally escorted them to through the portal outside the dormitories and to their classrooms. Despite what had happened the previous night most of the Year 1 students attended class. The only ones that didn't go were either to lazy or traumatised by the recent events.
Sasori, Jay, Ezra, Marcus and Jacob were among the students that attended school. Once everyone was ready everyone lined up and followed Mrs Ferg to their classrooms. Each Professor was waiting at the door of their classrooms and locked the door behind the last student and turned on the protective arrays surrounding their classrooms as a precaution.
Once everyone was seated, Professor Nara stood in front of the room. There was a blackboard behind him and a stand in front of him. "Welcome students, I know that this isn't what you expected on your first day of school, but I must inform you that the situation has been contained and that the school has taken every precaution to protect the students."
A few students in the class sighed in relief at his words, "Now I know it isn't best to immediately go into our studies today because some students are missing, and we don't want them to fall behind, therefore Professor Levesque has decided to instead change the routine of the school days for this week. We will offer some beginner classes for all students that want to participate but do know that these classes will be redone once everyone has returned to school."
"What we have decided to provide is a theory class on all the elements and how we as mages can identify these elements. We will also provide some basic hand-to-hand combat classes and basic swordsmanship classes to those who are either interested in these disciplines or would just like to give them a try. Archery and spearsmanship will also be provided as a bonus class. I will let you know that in these classes the Professors will go through everything slowly so if you want to ask questions these are the best classes to ask in."
"Now if you want to do one or more of these you can as they will be going on throughout today. Once I am finished you can tick the boxes of the classes you want to attend on the piece of paper in front of you." At the professor's words a sheet of paper appeared on the desk of each student along with a pencil. "Please write your name at the top right hand corner and let a little of your mana flow into the piece of paper so that no one else can choice things for you."
All the students started ticking the boxes of the classes wanted to attend. Sasori ticked the theory class, hand-to-hand combat class and the swordsmanship class. He had always wanted to fight with a sword, so he seized this opportunity to do it. Ezra just ticked the box for spearmanship because she already knew the basics of magic from her mother's teachings and the teachings of all the tutors who had come to help her at her mom's request.
Jacob chose hand-to-hand combat because he was physically strong and wanted to learn how to channel his strength into useful attacks and not attacks of raw strength. Jay chose swordsmanship as well because Sasori and Jay had played with wooden swords as kids and had always wanted to use a real one. After seeing the fight between Marco and Charlotte he had chosen to use learn swordsmanship at any cost.
Jay had already done some basic magic with his mom, so he thought he was fine with the basics. Marcus chose archery as the art of the bow and arrow intrigued him. He didn't want to waste time on basic magic, and he was already a decent fighter thanks to his training. Once everyone was done each Professor collected their class's pieces of paper using air magic and then sent them to Professor Levesque who sorted out the registers for all the classes.
"Alright everyone we are now going to watch some footage of the events from last night." All the students in each class shuddered at those words. The Professors had to calm their classes down before they could give a reason. "We aren't going to show you everything only what can be used for educational purposes." Some of the Security Sentries around the campus had caught glimpses of the battles and Professor Nara had selected pieces to show all the students around the school. He had made sure that none of his secrets would be given away with the footage before bringing his idea forward.
All the students that were at school watched footage of normal goblins, High goblins, undead wolves, a Grendel, and an Ogre. All the Professors across the school campus showed their students and identified all the monsters for their students. Some were horrified and scared of the images, and some were staring in awe at the glimpses of the battle between the Professor and the Ogre, and the Phoenix and the Grendel.
The Professors let there students study the footage before a bell rang that ended the first session of the day. "Okay, ladies and gentlemen that is the end of today's lesson. I will take you down stair were Professor Levesque has put a schedule for your classes for the rest of the day. Those who don't have one in this next session must go back to the dorms and along with those who aren't taking any classes. Dismissed."
Everyone got up and walked through the portal outside their classroom to get back downstairs. There was a horde of students surrounding a notice board outside the D classes classroom. Everyone was pushing forward to see when their class was. Sasori say his name and when his classes were. He then pushed his way out the crowd and entered the D class classroom for his magic basic lesson.
