"Seems about time for our next class to begin" Ania thought to herself as she stood up from underneath the tree she had been leaning against staring out into the beautiful garden thinking to herself. Earlier she had attempted to try that on a bench outside the classroom but the guy who had been hitting on her at the Orientation came and sat down next to her "Heyyy I remember you it's Ania right?". In response Ania glared at him as he laughed "Wow so cold I like that in a girl playing hard to get, the names Nigel I think you remember me" "Yeah you're the guy whose ass I handed to him".
Nigel grit his teeth as he recalled what that bastard Mitch did to him humiliating him in front of everyone "I must say that was pretty impressive but I do like my women strong". Slowly his hand reached out as the air around Ania suddenly became cold "If you so much as touch me with that hand you'll lose it" her voice laced with venom she leapt up storming past a bulky black male who had cornrows running down his head as he howled "Hoooo striking out there Nigel I see" "Man shut up Weasley" he grunted leaping up "What do you want?" "Patrick wants to see us before we attend combat class".
As Ania was walking past the garden she heard a voice speaking down to her "Done enjoying the view? I myself still wish to stare at it's beauty". Looking up she saw a man sitting up in the branches of the tree she was leaning on as he leapt down landing gracefully in front of her a serene and yet somewhat cocky smile spread across his elegant face.
He stood the same height as Mitch with a similar build but he was more of an olive colour with straight brown hair neatly drawn back while a pair of hazelnut eyes stared down at Ania. "So what do you think of the garden?" she asked as he smiled looking back at the flowers "Oh I wasn't watching the garden" "But you said you were staring at it's beauty" "But indeed I was" he said staring even more intently at her as Ania rolled her eyes "Real smooth" "Why thank you I thought it was".
Turning to leave the man placed a hand on her shoulder "Doth the lady protest to my advances, do I even get to put a name to the face of beauty?" "The names Ania and I'm guessing you're Shakespeare" "Oh but I do wish so no but my name is a humble Adrian" "Right well see you around Adrian" as she walked off he gestured to his heart "You have pierced me well and truly" before he collapsed to the floor as Ania rolled her eyes.
Walking into the classroom Alan spotted both Mitch and Tom already seated as he waved his hand which received a wave back from Tom and a feeble flop of Mitch's as he took a seat between the two of them "So I wonder what class this will be about?" he said excited as Mitch sighed "Who cares really so much theory work where's the practical part. "Actually last lesson was a bit practical if you count Weiss fighting that Grimm" Tom corrected as Mitch slumped forward on his desk just as the Professor entered into the room.
He was a tall lean built man with light skin and grey eyes, a green and white bucket hat covered his messy and unkempt blonde hair that hung down over his eyes. Unlike Professor Port who wore fancy clothes this Professor wore a brown coat with a dark green shirt and pants underneath and wore a pair of geta's. A cane was held in his right hand while a fan was in the pocket of his jacket as he reached the front of the classroom and turned to face everyone. "Why hello there I am Professor Kasuke Urihara" looking up from his desk Mitch squinted his eyes before raising his hand "Hey have we met somewhere before?" "I highly doubt that you must have mistook me for someone else" "Huh he looks awfully familiar like I've known him from another place…"
"Now then I'll be teaching you everything from dust manipulation to your very own latent abilities called Semblance".
Yawning Mitch laid back on the desk closing his eyes as Alan nudged him "Dude I think you should be paying attention" he whispered "But it's soooooo boring" he groaned swatting a nudging Alan's hand away "Still if you want to stay at this academy you'll need to keep up good marks". "Hold up I can't stay here on my combat prowess alone what is this madness!" Mitch yelled slamming his hands down as the whole class and teacher stopped to stare at him while Yang and Ruby giggled from his outburst.
"Ehem thank you for that interruption Mitch, now back to today's lesson which is on semblance. What exactly is semblance you ask? Well I'm sure half of you have already utilised your semblance without even realizing it perhaps. Now how it's much similar to aura as it's an ability that is inbuilt deep inside of you and can differ greatly from user to user. Some may be able to manipulate their body in a certain manner while others manipulate outside forces. Everyone possesses a semblance but it sometimes takes awhile for yours to surface and can take awhile to master as well".
Looking around the classroom Professor Urihara leaned on his cane "Does anyone want to give an example of their semblance if they know it?" Eyes scanning around the room he pointed the cane towards Ania "How about you". "If I have to I guess" she said standing up and walking down the front "So Ania why don't you demonstrate your semblance ability to the class then?"
"Well my ability is that any object I touch or choose within my vicinity I can manipulate the trajectory at which it moves so I can speed it up to hyper speed levels or slow it down to nothing at all" she said as the Professor walked over towards his desk picking up a pencil and throwing it towards Ania at a blinding speed as she glanced towards it as the class watched it slow down until she was able to easily catch it mid air.
Turning around she flicked the pencil towards the back of the class as it flew forward at a rapid speed crashing into the wall and becoming embedded into the wall. "So Ania's is a case of manipulating external instances around her although it could also be used on herself I'm sure" "Huh so that's how she raced up the mountainside faster than us" Alan said recalling seeing a blur fly past them at a blinding speed.
"I suppose we have time to show one more off any volunteers?" "Yeah I'll show mine off" Adrian said standing up as he walked down towards the front passing by Ania "Your semblance is pretty awesome but I think you'll be impressed by mine" "I highly doubt it but you can certainly try". Standing at the front he turned to face the class "So my ability is to cause any part of my body to become hard" with that he winked at over half the females in the class while Mitch howled with laughter from his seat.
"To put in a literal sense and demonstrate" Adrian said removing his silk red shirt posing for a moment to show his abs off to the girls before a dark black substance began to slowly cover his torso. "I can manipulate to target specific points or even cover my entire body and the stuff is harder than steel" he held up a giant battle axe and slammed the spiked tip into his stomach as the loud ching echoed around the class.
As he went to sit down winking while he walked past Ania the Professor clapped his hands "All very impressive semblance's and as you can see they all are very diverse, now for your homework I want you to write up a report on your semblance and it's abilities then next class we'll be presenting them each one by one" "Noooo more homework" Mitch groaned as Tom looked across at him "I think it's perfect we can learn more about our other classmates skills and perhaps the more I know on them the easier it'll be to make friends or so Alan says".
Just as the bell for the next class rang Mitch jumped up and stretched "So what's the class now" "It says here combat class" Ania said as a loud wohoo was yelled by Mitch "Finally a class I can enjoy this'll be good!" he yelled leaping over the desk and racing out the door.
"Alright this class will be mad!" Mitch said sitting on the edge of his seat as Ania rolled her eyes "You men and your fighting is that all you think about" "No I think about strategies on how to win fights as well" Tom chimed in.
"Oi, oi listen up chumps this combat class here you'll learn the fundamental fighting skills to slaying Grimm and other enemies also you can compete against your other classmates and test your skills. At the end of the semester there will be a tournament held for all first years and the winner receives a nice hefty prize so train up".
Their combat instructor was named Manji and towered over everyone at 6'6, incredibly stocky as well he was covered in numerous battle scars the worst being a diagonal one across his right eye and a particularly nasty horizontal one on his nose. He had dark brown eyes with black straight hair that was spiked up while he wore a traditional samurai kimono that was coloured dark blue but in the corner of the room was his battle armour a pitch black spiky demonic looking set with a wolf like helmet while a massive sword twice his height was placed up on the wall.
"So to kick things off let's having a little sparring lesson let's say you" he pointed to Tom who shrugged his shoulders and stepped into the middle of the ring before Mitch was pointed to next as he eagerly leapt up "Wohoo finally a chance to test my skills against someone". "I imagine the outcome will determine me the victor" Tom simply stated as Mitch laughed "Hey I wouldn't count me out completely I might just surprise you". "Very well let us see what skills you possess fellow team mate" Tom bluntly said unsheathing both katana's from his back as Mitch slung Ashura over his shoulder grinning "This should be exciting".
