Samantha was what could only be described as beyond uncomfortable. No... scratch that, she was terrified. way too terrified to move. Closing her one eye, she started shaking. To her she was thinking, but in reality it was coming out as a small scared jumble of words.<br/><br/>"Please don't let him eat me, please don't let him eat me Pleasedon'tlethimeatme!" she began chanting. Corry looked around the now full Subway car and frowned. Just what he needed, more people to make fun of him because of some stupid bloodline. Levi on the other hand was clutching his leg as it healed under whatever substance was now encasing it. The stuff was healing him remarkably fast for some reason and felt a little like jello. needless to say, he was surprised when it grew a mouth and stated, "All done Sammie!" and it moved back into Samantha's bag. Levi felt his leg and it was apparent that the talking substance had made it good as new.<br/><br/>Levi then noticed the Naga kid whom had taken a seat next to him for warmth. "So... My name's Leviathon, but you can call me Levi. What do I call you?"<br/><br/>The Subway made one final 5 second forward motion, then slowed to a stop in an oddly high roofed room. Golems were exiting large trucks, and there was a river flowing... wait a second... UPHILL with mermaids traveling in it next to a flight of stairs. Samantha ran out of the train as fast as she could. "Outtamywayouttamywayouttamyway!" she said as she ran to the stairs and began climbing them clumsily, knowing full well she would be near last at the top due to her ocular deficiency. Levi stood up and smiled as he felt the Naga stay close for body heat. "Well at least I know I have a friend... even if it is just because I'm hot... Uh.. I mean warm... I swear I'm not gay!" Levi stuttered embarrassed.<br/><br/>Corry walked out of the train car quickly and silently, hoping not to be noticed. Not his day, he assumed as a light elf shoved him to the ground and he nearly got trodden on by a fourth year Golem who didn't see him there. from his position on the ground, Corry saw a man in a suit and a telltale white pasty skin go up to the train and call a name.<br/><br/>"Aislinn Almaria Rose? The Headmistress would like a word with you." the man said, a heavy British accent present in his telltale Vampiric attire.<br/><br/>Several heads turned to see the man and several whispers of, "That was the Vice Principal, Count Dracula!" and "What is the Count doing approaching her?"<br/><br/>As he led her up the stairs, he smiled. "You should be glad I was looking through the student files this morning. This will be a lot of paperwork for the teachers, you know."<br/><br/>Corry heard this due to Dark Elves having an advanced sense of hearing and quietly followed at a distance. As the students reached the top of the stairs, Aislinn was lead around the corner and Dracula paused for a moment to take a key out of his coat pocket. Placing it in front of him, he made as though he was putting it in a lock, and a door appeared in the hallway that seemingly lead nowhere. Smiling at Aislinn's reaction, he opened it and walked inside, ushering her in. Corry made no move to follow, and filed it under "Ask later", deciding to join the other students in the auditorium.<br/><br/>The Board Members of the school were seated at a rectangular table on stage. They each had a name plate in front of them. From left to right, they were:<br/><br/>Prof. Laila: Light Magicks Instructor<br/>Prof. Alma: Dark Magicks/Hand to Hand Combat Instructor<br/>Prof. Birchwood: Nature Instructor<br/>Prof. Cornelius: Elven Magicks Instructor<br/>Prof. Roxalius Drakos Litrosius: Instructor of Physical Transfiguration<br/>Count Dracula: Vice Principal<br/>Headmistress GAIA<br/><br/>However the last two seats were vacant, and as this was never the case before, the second years onward were all uneasy. Roxalius was the only one at the table whom didn't seem uneasy, and he got up as everyone seemed to be getting anxious. Walking to the microphone, he picked it up and addressed the crowd, letting his majestic Draconic wings unfurl behind him.<br/><br/>"Students, I welcome you to our Academy. We expect great things from you all, and will be there to help you all reach your full potential. Please find the Cyclops' dorm room list in the next room, and head to your designated dorms. Classes start at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Until then, you should get acquainted with your dorm-mates."<br/><br/>The other Professors sighed in relief that someone other than them had taken the initiative. That is until Roxalius turned and asked, "So whom wants to take the blame for forcing a dragon to speak on Miss Gaia's behalf?"<br/><br/>Most of them blanched. Prof. Alma just sat there.<br/>_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Dracula led Aislinn into a room filled with small trees and birds. A woman behind the desk smiled at the human girl and asked "Is this the human who got past our talent scout, Count?" In a motherly voice, to which the Count nodded. "Yes. About that... why are we even doing this? I could just suck her blood and be done with i-"<br/><br/>"No. Nothing is by accident. Miss... Aislinn was it? This has never happened before, and I'm sure by now you realize if we had let you inside the auditorium, any number of atrocities could have happened. However now that you know of the school... I'm afraid we can't just send you home."<br/><br/>She waited for the young student to nod, then continued. "While I cannot guarantee a normal-even by our standards- year, I can provide a glamour spell to allow you to look like a halfling specie of your choosing, and a scent masking spell so that even the species with a perceptive nose on them can't detect you being a human. We can also send you to a be in a dorm with the halflings that we have set up specifically for all of them so that they aren't... Bullied where teachers can't keep an eye out for that sort of thing. I offer this because your alternative is to, as was said before, be disposed of by Professor Dracula here."<br/>________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Levi was currently using Seimezi as a belt-slash-neck warmer and allowing himself to emit heat for his new Naga friend as he read the dorm room board that was very high tech, like a touch screen computer, but with a map and list for each building. Corry was leaned over the screen as Samantha was almost giddy being next to the school's placement mainframe<br/><br/>"Hey, looks like we're in the same dorm AND the same room with some girl named Mariah!" Levi told Seimezi. Corry looked down the list and noticed the names Aislinn and Skye next to his in the room next to the fire sprite. In the next room over, Samantha saw the names Elliot Dumas and Kosuke next to hers and smiled. maybe this year wouldn't be so bad after all. Totem and Dendrik had been paired together, and so had Trysten and Raimo. A fact that most of them(or at least Samantha, Levi and Corry) had overlooked was that ALL the halflings were in the same building and had the same kitchen and living room area, while their bedrooms were the only sections set apart for two to three people. another quite related fact, was that there was a HUGE room off to the side simply labeled "Find out later".<br/><br/>Levi and Piko ran into Mariah on their way to the dorm and Levi started a conversation by asking her, "How the heck did you make all this Waterproof, and would it work to do the same thing for fire?"<br/><br/>Corry ran into Skye and started wondering where the other girl went when Skye seemed... hostile. At least that meant he wouldn't be the only one who wasn't liked here... He sighed "So... notice anything... off... about that other girl on the train in the "typical wizard" costume?" he asked.<br/><br/>Samantha found it hard to socialize, so she just went straight to the dorm and started unpacking, starting with three flatscreen TVs, A PC, A Macbook and a HUGE selection of video game consoles. Sitting down on a chair, first she turned on her personal playlist of music on her Macbook, then booted up Titanfall on an Xbox One, then booted up Super Smash Brothers on a Wii U, then she turned to the PS4 and started Call of Duty Black Ops III in a modded splitscreen mode she had hacked herself and lastly, turning to the PC, starting a game of Street Fighter IV ULTRA. She stopped turning things on when the door was opened and all the Halflings filed into the room.<br/><br/>"Woah. I CALL MEGAMAN!" Levi shouted, running to the Wii U. Corry casually strolled to the PS4 and said... "Uhh... would it be legal to play on human servers?"<br/><br/>Samantha smirked. "Nope, I checked the school rulebook. we can beat the shit out of the normies as long as they think our gamer tags are just us trying to look awesome and don't take us seriously if we mention anything supernatural at school!"<br/><br/>Now it was Corry's turn to smirk. "Who wants to snipe some Nazis?" he asked the group.
