"Okay, you can come out now" Orpheus said after returning to his dorm room.
[why is he so dumb] Costas shook his head inwardly
~what do you mean? ~
[we are naked right?] Azure asked
~yeah ~
[Then close your eyes you dumb idiot] Crimson said
~Sorry about that. How do y'all even know what being naked is? ~
[While you were busy, Costas educated us on how to blend in with the humans] White replied
[That doesn't matter. Just close your eyes] Crimson said
~Okay ~ Orpheus closed his eyes tightly.
Immediately after Orpheus closed his eyes, he felt a weird sensation on his back as the clothes he was holding in his hands were swiftly nicked off one by one.
"You can open them now" A familiar feminine voice told him
" Okay, what the..." Orpheus opened his eyes and immediately became dumbstruck
"What's wrong Orpheus?" A red haired girl asked
"Maybe he fainted again with his eyes open" a black haired boy said
"You damn idiot, I told you that was not possible" a gold haired boy (with little stand of blue) said
[Orpheus!]
~...~
[Orpheus! Wake up you piece of shit!]
~Huh? What is it?~
"Orpheus," a white haired girl called out again "what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. It's just that you two are so... never mind" Orpheus creased his forehead "I can see the clothes fit y'all very well"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Azure, the gold haired boy said
" So what can I call you guys? Like names or something" Orpheus asked
"We do not really have names you know" Black, the black haired boy said "They call me Black, the dragon's Azure like you know, Phoenix's is Crimson, and the tiger is White"
~ Damn, so I basically have to name you guys ~
"Yes, probably" White, the white haired girl nodded
"... Y'all can still read my thoughts?" Orpheus asked in shock
[Maybe, it's because of the blood contract or something. But it's a good thing]
~I guess so~
" So, hmmm... White, I'm going to name you Aella" Orpheus began his naming ceremony
[ Nice, meaning whirlwind, right?]
~Do not interrupt me ~
[Sorry sir]
"Black is Andrian, Crimson is Tana, and lastly Azure is... is... I don't know. Maybe you'll just go with Azure" Orpheus finished
[Just call him Asterope, Aster for short]
~Yeah, whatever ~
"Man, I hate fate" Aster lamented
"Azure will be Asterope, Aster for short" Orpheus said making the dragon's face to light up "Let me change into my uniform"
"Whoah!" Andrian gasped
"What happened?" Orpheus asked after returning
"After you named us, it's like we felt a surge if energy" Tana said
[I guess the naming increased their strength. It just goes like the saying, your name portrays you]
~You sure that's even a saying? ~
[Whatever man]
*Rrnnngggg*
"What?! It's time for the next class already?" Orpheus exclaimed "I gotta go. Y'all should return now"
After the four had returned to his body, he quickly left the room
______________
"Good day all. I'm Mr Antonius, your ability class instructor" Mr Antonius introduced himself to the students
"Now before I begin the class, I want to perform a quick roll call. If you hear your name, please respond." he brought out a clip board and began to call
"Okay. First, Marios?"
"Present sir"
"Sara?"
"Present"
"Phineus?"
"Here"
"Cleon?" "Cleon?"
"Um sir, he's MIA*" Phineus said
"Oh, I heard about that. Next, Alexandros?"
"Here"
"Okay, Orpheus?" Mr Antonius peered around the class "It seems he is abse..."
*Click*
Orpheus walked into the classroom while panting heavily
"I am... ha... never... ha... going to... ha... try that... again" He muttered between breaths before staggering to his seat. He had executed consecutive shadow teleports without resting to quickly get to his classroom
"Let us continue please" Mr Antonius said "Who's Orpheus?"
"That's me sir"
"Okay. Next, Cyrus?"
"Present"
-----------
"and lastly, Charis"
"Present sir"
"Now, let us begin the class" Mr Antonius said after putting away the clip board. "As we all know, there are seven major elements or abilities. Who can name them along with the colors that represent them? Yes, Phineus?"
"Yes sir. We have Red for fire, Blue for water or Ice, Brown for earth, White for wind, Gold for lighting, Yellow for light, Black for dark." Phineus said.
"That is correct. Can you please give him a round of applause?"
*Clap*
"Okay, that is enough. Although you know that there are seven major elements in history, there are actually two major elements. They are the Psychic and Nature elements. Yes, please" Mr Antonius permitted Charis who was raising his hands to speak
"Sir, according to our history class, the meteorite was only covered in seven different colors. How come there is an additional element" Charis asked
"I'm coming to that. You see, the meteorite was actually covered in eight colors with one part of it not colored at all" Mr Antonius began to explain "the eight color was Pink which represents the Psychic elements and as for the uncolored one... we'll definitely get to that"
~Hey, this topic seems pretty interesting ~
[I know. But isn't it too early for these guys to be telling you this. I learned about it when I was only a low level advanced Magus] Costas said
[Perhaps, it's because the incoming danger] Aella said
~Well, whatever. Let me listen ~
"Under the Psychic elements, we have - Gravity, Sound, Space, Vacuum, Telekinesis, Magnetism, Dimension, Telepathy and Mind manipulation. More are still being discovered though" Mr Antonius said as he began to draw an ability tree on the class board "There is one Psychic element that is for mages with only strong mental powers. It is Blood Manipulation, but we will go into that later."
~I though you had said blood control ~
[Yeah, but it seems this one is a stronger version]
~Oh really? ~
[I'll explain later. Just listen]
"Now moving on to the Nature elements, that's where all the seven elements come in. But, with an addition" The instructor paused to make sure everyone was listening before continuing "The addition is the nature element itself which covers the power of life and death. According to the research center, that was the part of the meteor that was not colored but that doesn't concern you yet so we will only focus in the remaining seven"
~Wow, so under Nature, we still have nature ~
[Makes sense, the first nature means elements of nature while the second means like the beginning and the end] Aster said
[Bro, that doesn't really explain anything you know] Andrian shook his head inwardly
[Whatever. Y'all get me at least] Aster said
[Um, no we don't] Tana said
[F*** you, you damn phoenix] Aster cursed
"Down to the main topic for today, we are going to be talking about meditation" Mr Antonius said "Like you know we need to be able to control our elemental energy accurately for our spells to reach their full potential. If a Magus does not have good control of his elemental energy, the strength of his spell will weaken considerably"
~Why did you not tell me about this? ~
[Like I knew about it. This is the first time I'm hearing of this. I swear]
[Something bad is about to happen. I can feel it in my bones] Andrian muttered
[How bad?] Aella asked
[Like really bad] Andrian answered
[Okay, this is not good at all] Aster said
~What is going on? ~
[According to what I know, for Andrian to sense danger, it means 'danger']
~You damn old man, can't you just explain something normally? ~
[I am not old! And I meant that everyone's life is in danger]
~... This is not good ~
_______________
"Sir! Sir!" A guard rushed into the dean's office, panting heavily.
"What is it?" Mr Philippos asked in confusion
"Sir... monster... rampage.... academy... danger" the guard stuttered in fear
"Speak right you piece of... What did you say?" Mr Philippos stood up in shock
"Monsters are on rampage and are headed towards the academy" the guard said after calming down.
"Are you sure of this?"
"Yes sir"
"Isn't it too early for the prophecy to be fulfilled?" Mr Philippos muttered "Quick, make sure everyone in the academy is assembled at the main hall. Now!"
"Yes sir" the guard immediately left the office
____________
"In meditation, you focus on circulating your energy to all parts of your body for easy and fast spell casting. Also, circulating excess of the energy can cause you to go... " Mr Antonius was interrupted by the intercom.
||All inhabitants of the academy, rush down to the main hall immediately. All classes are to be stopped until further notice||
||I repeat, All inhabitants of the academy, rush down to the main hall immediately. All classes are to be stopped until further notice||
"... I'm sorry but the class will have to stop here today. We'll continue later" Mr Antonius said before leaving the classroom
"Why is the school assembling everyone?" a student asked
"I don't know. But for them to assemble all inhabitants, something is wrong"
"Only one way to find out. At the main hall"
~Oh c'mon. Why at this moment? ~
[At least you got the basics of the meditation stuff or whatever.] Tana said
[He didn't say something about the nature element. The nature element doesn't only control life and death]
~Whay do you mean? ~
[It controls all of nature which makes it the rarest element in the whole universe]
[Hold on. When you say all of nature, do you mean nature as in this nature, nature?] Aster asked
[Yeah, this nature as in the stars, sky, sun and stuff]
[Damn, humans are pretty strong] Andrian said in awe
~Hey, how do I awaken the nature element ~
[Hmm, from what I know, you awaken it after getting all nature elements]
~Are you for real? That means it's impossible to get ~
[Not for you though]
~What do you mean? ~
[I don't know. Aren't you meant to be in the hall?]
"Huh?" Orpheus looked around and discovers he's the only one remaining in the class "Shit! Gotta run"
