Many different people have killed along the border and despite the See's abundance of nature, sometimes the circle of life goes in reverse. Zombies [E] are common enough that bringing along someone who can scan for or detect undead is a good idea. They are occasionally sighted feeding on the dead and dying. The biggest danger and something to watch out for is that it is never clear when an undead is truly dead or just waiting for the scent of blood and brain to animate it again![/spoiler]<br></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444732" style="display: none;"><br>
Many random peoples are present. There are homeless and bandits trying to desperately survive. Others are the orphans of skirmishes and raids. Others are from villages are overran by the hungry dead. The same can happen to individuals who just don't fit in, especially those with little talent and less to offer who fail to find success at banditry or poaching. These vagabonds and outcasts are poor, hungry, and prey.<br></li></ul>

A little about me. I am new to the Isekai Hell rule system, but I feel like I have a decent grasp on the rules. This is an exercise in exploring the rules while running a game. I really enjoy running games and find myself doing that quite a lot. In fact, I’ve been running games for over 20 years, and I have an Isekai campaign that I want to eventually run in this universe. Before that, I want to run a few one-offs or maybe it’s all tied together. We’ll see.<br></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444734" style="display: none;"><br>
In reading the rules for Isekai Hell, I have observed that it’s largely deterministic with a rules-lite skeleton to keep things grounded and expectations easier to manage. I am a big fan of players helping to flesh out a scene proactively and without needing to put in endless qualifiers in their posts. As such, I will allow two situations where you can gain a bonus to effectiveness:<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Scene Enhancing Stunt. In Exalted there is a notion of stunting, which allows characters to take their skills and abilities beyond the bounds or at least be creative with them to enhance the story for everyone. While everyone who participates in IH is expected to write well thought out, multiple paragraph posts. A stunt in this sense, builds and enhances the existing scene making everything cooler and more fun. If you do this, you can take a +1 to the effectiveness during the post, limit once per scene.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Something bad happens. If good stuff always happens it gets boring. To support people introducing challenges, adversity, and interest, when a character voluntarily writes their actions failing or otherwise introducing an additional challenge or problem in the scene. Effectively the character is taking a -1 or -2 in the post, to use a +1 or +2 later on. Limit twice per story. Again, the character self-elicits and notes in the OOC if they think it was a -1 or -2 level of badness that happened to them. They can bank the corresponding +1 or +2 for later.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><b>Other Cases.</b> There are other things that could impact effectiveness, such as narrative situation, special ability effects at play, and any other mechanics from the Isekai Hell rules system. You cannot use an ability in combat without an item (as it pertains to dealing damage, special effects, or some form of defense). Actions without abilities treat the ability grade as being worth 0 points.</li>
</ol></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444735" style="display: none;"><br>
<b>Using skills and narrating success.</b> I would rather bias for pacing and momentum plus IH is designed to be a framework in which stories are made. The emphasis is on stories and pacing is an important component of a story’s success. As such, I’d rather you error on moving the plot forward. I can always introduce a twist or complication to balance things out or help ensure the story remains interesting.<br>
<br>
<i>Scenes will often have a setup like this: </i><br>
<br>
<b>Setting:</b><i> 1-3 paragraphs of flavor text.</i><br>

	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Gloria is the older sister or George Ironclaw and a [Childhood Friend] of Amanda's. Formerly a member of the Kirkwall Hunters, Gloria was removed from their ranks when her violent and rude behavior became far too noticeable to ignore. Banished from the ranks of the hunters and with her attitude clearly an issue, Gloria was sent away to the capital and forcibly enrolled in a maid's school where her grandfather hoped her behavior would be corrected.<br>
<br>
A hope that partially came to fruition. After five years away Gloria has returned as a qualified maid and has drastically changed from how she used to be. Though it seems she's picked up a terrible habit of smoking, her attitude has mellowed quite considerably. Though she can still be pushed to anger and have outbursts of her former rage surface as a result. For the most part she is quite calm and collected. A diligent worker with manners and focus who knows her trade and has her ear to the ground.<br>
<br>
Following Baroness Caelia's outrageous display of power during the events of <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-caelia-barony-the-big-iron-on-her-hip.529211/post-11704933" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-caelia-barony-the-big-iron-on-her-hip.529211%2Fpost-11704933&amp;hash=453f9e10ddddf0bf2b8c75f550c8a94a">[Isekai Hell Caelia Barony The Big Iron On Her Hip</a>], Amanda's mother visited Mayor Kirk to ask him for a favor. Believing her daughter could find herself in trouble by associating with someone so strong, Mrs. Steelhaven asked the Mayor to investigate the matter. Curious about the Baroness himself, Mayor Kirk agreed and decided to send his granddaughter to gather information on the Baroness in his stead. Gloria was to serve as Amanda's personal Maid, secretly protect Amanda and gather information on the Baroness while doing so. The real kicker? Gloria hadn't been home a full day before being asked to do such. The life of a maid sure is hard.<br>
<br>
That being said, Gloria was more than happy to do so. Amanda was a close friend of hers and if there was any chance Amanda was indeed in danger, well Gloria couldn't just leave her on her lonesome. So without an item to her name and just the uniform on her back, Gloria set off to meet Amanda and carry out her mission in secret.</div>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content"><b><span style="font-size: 18px">Sir Braxus Dragonheart, Tenured Professor. Grade-C. </span><br>
<br>
Description: </b>Sir Braxus Dragonheart is an imposing dragonborn with gleaming red scales and eyes like smoldering embers. Twin curved horns sprout from his brow, and his powerful tail sweeps behind him as he patrols the exam room. His plate armor is meticulously polished and styled with intricate dragon motifs. The crest of the Dragonheart clan adorns his pauldrons. Though decades old, Braxus carries himself with a warrior's vigor and pride. His mere presence seems to fill the chamber as the newcomers await his judgment.<br>
<br>
<b>Personality: </b> As head combat instructor at the academy, Braxus upholds a strict code of honor and expects nothing less from his students. Though stern, he is fair and wants each recruit to unlock their full martial potential. He has little patience for slackers or egos, demanding discipline and teamwork. Under his intimidating scowl lies a deep well of knowledge from his adventures across the realm. Braxus knows that battles are won through planning and smart tactics as much as strength. He takes seriously his duty to train the next generation of heroes, even if he hides his faith in them behind a gruff demeanor. Woe to any student who risks harming their allies through carelessness - they'll get an earful of rebuke from Braxus.<br>
<br>
<b>Skills/Abilities:</b> In his youth, Braxus achieved fame as a dragon slayer, facing down terrifying beasts with precise strikes from his mighty greatsword. Though past his prime as a warrior, he remains in peak physical conditioning and can still outmatch many younger challengers in tests of strength or skill. His knowledge of battle strategy and monster weaknesses is unmatched. Braxus can discern the smallest flaws in a recruit's fighting style and knows precisely how to correct them. His own technique serves as a model for students to emulate. In addition to his martial talents, Braxus is a Paladin able to enhance and protect those around him with his aura and even lay his hands upon those who are hurt to heal them. With his enchanted greatsword Dragonsbane (Mithril C; Enchanted D) and Full Plate of the Sentinel, Braxus is a bastion on the battlefield who can pinpoint enemy weaknesses.</div>

<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The Celestine Spring: This ancient spring flows from a cave covered in colorful mosaics, depicting Celestine Silverquill's discovery of the magical waters. The perfectly clear pool is said to have rejuvenating properties - drinking or bathing in it restores vitality and health. Students flock to the spring before exams or difficult quests. The waters glimmer an ethereal blue-silver hue under the moonlight. Many couples have had moonlit trysts beside the enchanting spring.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Museum of Lore and Legends: This hallowed hall contains artifacts collected the past century by adventurers and scholars. Towering fossilized dragon bones form a dramatic centerpiece, coming from an ancient red dragon called Infernox who once terrorized the kingdom. His skull alone is larger than a carriage. Other highlights include the shattered Blade of Andariel, ring armor worn by the famous dwarf Grun Stoneheart, and a rare phoenix feather quill. Scholars study the relics while dreaming up quests to find more. There are always new wings and vaults being expanded as the museum continues growing.</li>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It was 10 AM on a mild late summer morning, and a damp breeze hinted at the coming autumn. Dark clouds loomed over the mountains surrounding Celestine Academy, threatening a light morning rain. There was a low rumble of thunder in the distance further out beyond the City of Azuran, Ryke. <br>
<br>
The campus was open, it's gates thrown wide for the annual Entrance Exam for new hopefuls. For those who paid the entrance fee, more of a down payment on their tuition, they could enjoy a fabulous breakfast followed by competition against other hopefuls to join one of a handful of new cohorts. Each cohort would be tested and evaluated, but first everyone would enjoy breakfast. <br>
<br>
Inside the vaulted Feasting Hall of Champions, magical light streamed through tall rainbow prisms that sent multicolored light through the arched windows and across the long feast tables. A sumptuous buffet welcomed new hopefuls and those second and third years who were coming back after the long adventuring break in-between semesters. The academy was practical and balanced education with active field work. The Feasting Hall was filled with nervous excitement, the air charged  as the newcomers took their seats among the colorful banners hanging from ceiling rafters. Today marked the start of their trials!<br>
<br>
There were many entrances into the hall, and amidst one of the bustling entry halls, three sneering second-years stood blocking a pair of the grand doors to the Feasting Hall. Most hopeful had never been on campus and so usually had no idea they could simply go to another entrance. Bartholomew Voralcrest, a tall wizard with a wild shock of black hair like living shadow, grinned wickedly as he denied entry to the anxious first years.<br>
<br>
"Let us through, Barty," pleaded a pale human boy. "We're hungry!"<br>
<br>
"Should've eaten before you got here, runt," Bartholomew retorted. "No one gets past us without paying the toll."<br>
<br>
His cronies chortled - Ragnar, a brawny half-orc fighter, and Wylda, an elven girl with vines braided into her hair. They relished lording over the newcomers on their first day.<br>
<br>
A few who had tried last year and failed, knew of other entrances and wandered away from the commotion, but without making a big deal of it. They just shook their head and sighed before moving off for another door. However, most were here for the first time and observed the scene nervously. They oscillated between keeping their distance and wanting to eat before the exam. The scent of the food just beyond made many salivate. For many, they paid the enterance fee just to experience this breakfast in the celebrated hall to dream, even though they knew it would never come to be. And now they were forced to keep their distance or pay, not wanting to provoke the intimidating trio. <br>
<br>
"Maybe if we're lucky, these idiots will flunk their exams and get held back," Someone in the crowd whispered.<br>
<br>
"Here's hoping," another replied. <br>
<br>
"They are second years, though, what do we do? I ain't got no more money." A third whispered. <br>
<br>
A few pushed through the crowd, got shook down by Bartholomew, paid the "toll" and went inside. Others tried to push past and where pushed back by Ragnar.</div>

Arriving at the illustrious Celestine Academy for Seekers of Lore and Legends, Amanda's gaze lifted to take in the grandeur of the place. The academy stood as a monument to knowledge and power, its architecture a fusion of timeless beauty and cutting-edge design. Towering spires touched the heavens, adorned with intricate carvings that told tales of the ages. Vines clung to the ancient stone, adding a touch of nature's wildness to the refined setting.<br>
<br>
As Amanda passed through the academy's arched entrance, her heart swelled with anticipation. She was no stranger to the weight of her background as a low-born advisor to the new Countess Regula Caelia, nor to the connections she had cultivated, including her acquaintance with Count Sadek. It was through his influence that she had secured this unique opportunity—a chance to prove her mettle and knowledge within the hallowed halls of the Celestine Academy.<br>
<br>
Amanda's steps echoed on the polished marble floors as she moved through the corridors, guided by the subtle signs directing her toward the offices of the academy's administrators. Her attire, a blend of practicality and respect for the institution, was a testament to her determination. A hint of nervous excitement played in her eyes as she approached the secretary's desk, where she introduced herself and presented the letter of recommendation from Count Sadek.<br>
<br>
The secretary's raised eyebrows and the soft murmur that followed indicated that the nature of her admission wasn't commonplace. Amanda's heart raced as she felt the weight of the challenge she was about to undertake. Nine categories, an ambitious feat for anyone, especially within the tight timeframe of a week. Business, Enchanting, Tinkering, Artificing, Engineering, Investigation, Architecture, Law, and Warfare—all areas that required dedicated study and mastery. If she succeeded, her accomplishment would resonate far and wide, shattering preconceptions about her origins.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> [Ambitious] </span><br>
<br>
If.<br>
<br>
With the paperwork completed and her letter of recommendation turned in, Amanda felt a sense of accomplishment as she looked forward to the opportunities that lay ahead at the Celestine Academy. The prospect of a breakfast banquet added a touch of excitement to her day, as she anticipated mingling with fellow students and immersing herself in the academy's vibrant community. Though unfamiliar with the finer points of academy traditions, Amanda decided it would be best to embrace the event, especially considering the Count's generosity in covering her admission fees.<br>
<br>
As she approached the banquet hall, the aroma of a sumptuous breakfast greeted her senses. The air was filled with the inviting scents of freshly baked pastries, aromatic coffee, and an array of delectable treats. Her stomach gave an eager rumble, a testament to both her excitement and hunger.<br>
<br>
However, Amanda's journey to the banquet was abruptly halted by an unexpected encounter. A trio of second-year students, exuding an air of arrogance and mischief, positioned themselves at the entrance, casting an ominous shadow over her path. Their faces bore smirks that hinted at their intentions, and their presence exuded a sense of intimidation.<br>
<br>
With an internal sigh, Amanda found herself faced with a dilemma. These students were clearly attempting to exploit the attendees, extorting them for a passage into the banquet. A mix of annoyance and frustration welled within her, fueled by the realization that her entry into the banquet might be impeded by their actions.<br>
<br>
As Gloria, Amanda's steadfast and protective maid and bodyguard, observed the tense confrontation between Amanda and the trio of second-year students, her grip on the buttstock of her weapon tightened. Her temper, notorious among those who knew her, simmered just below the surface. Seeing anyone trying to intimidate Amanda or exploit others was enough to trigger her readiness for combat.<br>
<br>
Her instincts screamed for action, her every fiber poised to intervene and bring justice to the situation with the force that she had at her disposal. Yet, even as her muscles tensed and her focus sharpened, Amanda's voice cut through the turmoil, a command that held more weight than any adversary's taunt.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Relax, Gloria. Don't cause any trouble,"</span> Amanda's voice, calm but firm, reached her, a directive that caused Gloria's fingers to loosen around the weapon's buttstock. The turmoil within her mirrored the stormy skies she was known to possess, and she met Amanda's gaze with a mix of determination and inner conflict.<br>
<br>
With a calm demeanor, Amanda approached the trio that had attempted to extort other students. Her eyes, a reflection of both authority and reason, met theirs as she spoke in a measured tone, <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"I want you to know that extorting fellow students goes against the code of conduct of this academy. Such actions are not only unjust but can lead to severe consequences, including expulsion." </span><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Law Expert]</span><br>
<br>
Her words were not laced with anger or aggression; instead, they held the weight of responsibility and truth. Amanda's intention wasn't to threaten, but to educate and remind them of the values that governed the academy. Her experience as an advisor to Countess Regula Caelia had taught her the importance of upholding fairness and unity within a community. <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Girl On Fire]</span><br>
<br>
With the trio informed of the possible consequences of their actions, Amanda turned her attention to the gathering students. Her voice carried, reaching each ear with a clear, composed cadence, <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"For those who are here for the first time, I'd like to remind you that this hall's size and structure might offer alternative entrances. If you find the main entrance crowded or face any difficulties, consider exploring other pathways." </span><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Architecture Expert]</span><br>
<br>
Her words were a practical suggestion, born from her understanding of the situation and her desire to ensure that every student could enjoy the banquet without any hindrances.<br>

Eris ran her hand down the front of her robes, flattening any creases. With that completed, she smiled, turned from the mirror, and walked toward her door. Having recently accepted a part-time position at Ryke, though with the war ongoing, she knew she would be needed in the See. Adjusting the veil on her head for a moment before locking it in place, she opened the door and walked out into the hallway. The Academy had been kind enough to accommodate her while working here. Before shutting the door behind her, she leaned back in and grabbed her quarterstaff, then she went down to the central courtyard.<br>
<br>
She had been informed that the new students would be arriving today; noticing more shade today, she looked up at the dark clouds overhead. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Well, it might rain today after all. Though, I doubt that will impact much besides people running for cover if it does start. </span></i><span style="color: null">Eris thought to herself letting out a small sigh before walking down the stone pathway passing by several students towards where the banquet was being held for the new students. The journey to the academy had been rather uneventful as much of the See moved about through teleporters from city to city. So it in reality, hadn't taken her very long to get to the edge of the fae see and then to cross the border to enter Ryke. <br>
<br>
Though she wasn't entirely sure why they had offered her a part-time position here, she figured it had something to do with her being a hero of the Holy See. She wasn't sure if they knew about her involvement in the ongoing war, but she wouldn't bring it up either. The whole matter with the tree was one thing she hoped to forget, though it didn't seem like it would happen any time soon. The events over the past year hadn't been what she thought would happen. Having arrived in the world with very little knowledge and slowly setting gaining fame as a hero wouldn't have even crossed her mind if you had asked her when she first arrived. <br>
<br>
Nor did she think that meeting with the Holy See Pope would have ever happened, but in the end, it had worked out somehow. She had her Basilica to the Goddess, which she was still working on filling up and attracting those that wished to make the trip there. Though her deep thought had gotten the best of her as she realized she was on the grass as the rumble of thunder was heard in the distance. Pausing, she looked in the direction she heard the boom come from which she squinted her eyes. She stood there for a few minutes watching to see if it would get any close before returning to the path and once again making her way to the feasting hall. <br>
<br>
Upon seeing the hall, she noticed a large group outside the entrance that seemed to be stopping people from entering. Eris cocked her head to the right a little bit as she scratched her head trying to figure out why there would be this many people outside. Letting out a small sigh she approached the group, </span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Pardon me, excuse me," </span>Eris spoke with her lisp being barely noticeable. When she finally made her way toward the front Amanda and her maids were talking to the students blocking the doors. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Already on the first day? Seriously? </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself before taking a deep breath and walking a few steps closer to the group. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Extorsion on the first day, what a shame and here I thought the second-year students were above this," </span>Eris spoke louder her lisp more evident now that she approached the trio and stopped in front of them. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"How about you let the new students in before I inform the headmaster of all of this or if you want we can settle it with me making you all look like a bunch of children in front of the whole school," </span>she warned them with a smile on her face one that didn't hint at any aggression as she pulled out her book and started to recite a passage. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Book of the Begining verse 9-12, The wicked once ruled over the meek and for their sustenance on power was their downfall, for I stood in the breach and brought light to this dark world. Rejoice in the light and never stray from it." <br>
<br>
"Now, I can finish this or if you want to try and fight a Hero of The Fae See or better known as the Hero of Courage but do be quick about it we do have a schedule to keep," </span>Eris concluded as the smile never left her face waiting to see if they would back down or if she was going to need to put them in a box to get the other students to pass through.</div>

Supposedly the city shared a name with some sort of Empyrean force, one she surmised was likely from another world such as herself.<i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)"> 'No wonder the Academy had drawn such a large crowd,' </span></i>Echo sighed silently, looking about the throng of people. She had accidentally gotten separated from Thomas upon arriving in the city; if one could call getting overly excited and running off while forgetting your party member isn't as [Fast F] as you an accident. There was supposed to be a feast before the exam, and she figured there was no better place to wait for Thomas than there. That being said, where exactly was the Hall of Champions?<br>
<br>
She looked down at the hastily scribbled map of the city she clutched in her hands. It was several silver pieces cheaper to copy the town map by hand than to buy her own, but... She peered down at the amateurish attempt at cartography before running an annoyed hand through her hair. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Whatever, it can't be that hard to find.' </span></i>Taking a moment to stretch, Echo stowed her map and then darted to the other end of the street. It took a few more randomly directed sprints, but she eventually found a group that was heading to the Academy, and with a self-satisfied grin on her face, she followed them to their destination.<br>
<br>
She hadn't been far from the school, the group led her down an alleyway that took them straight to the gate of the Academy. No longer in need of the unwitting guides, she ran past them and through the gates. Looking about, she noticed that even though her new outfit was incredibly restrictive, it was far more in line with what others were wearing. It was a shame, she liked her Jester's Outfit. Ensuring she remained attentive enough to find Thomas, she made her way to the Hall where breakfast was being served.<br>
<br>
<b>"Let us through, Barty, we're hungry!"<br>
<br>
"Should've eaten before you got here, runt, no one gets past without paying the toll."</b><br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Ohoho,'</span></i> Echo put a hand to her mouth, covering a silent chortle. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Sounds like something a Fomorian would say.'</span></i><br>
<br>
Puffing her chest out slightly, she made her way to the source of the incident, determined to have a word with the toll-takers. That is until she noticed that people were already talking to them, and one of them was someone she had met before; someone she was certain would be very upset to learn Echo's role in getting not one, but <b>several</b> clergy members kicked out of the Holy Basilica. Like it was somehow <b>her </b>fault they didn't know how to party. <span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'</span><i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">She's like a bad ha'penny...'</span></i><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><b>"For those who are here for the first time, I'd like to remind you that this hall's size and structure might offer alternative entrances. If you find the main entrance crowded or face any difficulties, consider exploring other pathways."</b></span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)"><i>'And she's with a know-it-all and her flunky to boot. Fuunn.'</i></span> Despite being unappreciative of the advice, Echo turned around with the intent to listen to it and find a different entrance. Unfortunately, her lack of grace and precision meant she turned around and ran face-first into the chest of a broad-shouldered adventurer. Caught off guard, she was faced with a choice, shove him out of the way, and potentially through a wall if she misjudged her strength, or fall flat on her ass.<br>
<br>
To his credit, the adventurer reached out a hand to catch her as she fell. If only her first reflex hadn't been to swat his hand away, she might have caught herself.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Upon first entering the city, Thomas became easily distracted by all the sights, sounds, smells, and views within eyesight. In fact, he was so distracted that when he looked over to Echo to point something out, the space she had occupied was empty! Now that he thought of it, did he even know the girl's name? Thomas was never good with names, instead relying on his decent memory. At the front of the city were a lot of food tents to help the arriving people restore a bit of strength after long and short journeys. Farther into the city which was closer to the school were all the shops. Thomas wanted to visit as many of these as he could but not by himself so he will ask his traveling companion when they both have more time. Trying his best to ignore the rest of the city's attractions, he comes upon the GRAND CELESTINE ACADEMY! It was almost exactly as Thomas had pictured in his mind but a whole lot bigger than he anticipated. <br>
<br>
Once inside after having paid the entrance fee to be part of the breakfast, Thomas observed the situation from afar with the older students trying to make money by not letting anyone in through these doors. He had half a mind to silently send them one hour into the future just to get rid of them when a girl approached the students, speaking in a much better and more calm manner than Thomas would have been able to do. After that, he heard about multiple entrances from the same girl and went off to look for a different entrance. Thomas found another entrance not far away which wasn't guarded by any rude students and proceeded inside the banquet full of unbelievably good smelling foods. Of course, it was quite a long line as well. But the line isn't what Thomas was concerned about. He is more concerned about having not seen Echo anywhere. So he decides to wait inside this door and watch the people come in from all the other entrances. There was also a chance she was already inside, so his eyes were scanning the crowd in the room and looking back to the other doors leading to this area. <br>

 The first day of her time at Celestine Academy for Seekers of Lore and Legends. Noelle has travelled a long way to get here. The academy was huge in her opinion. Although she had only seen the entrance so far so to say it was as big as she was thinking is still up for debate. Noelle looked up to the sky. They did say there was a chance of rain. A premonition that the clouds were confirming. She would have preferred if the sun was shining as it was summer after all. But some rain wouldn't bother her much. As a mermaid, she was used to getting wet and if it would start raining she could always go inside the school.<br>
 Talking about going inside. Noelle was looking forward to the promised breakfast for every student who paid their entrance fee. Noelle was lucky that she was able to pay that fee. It took quite some savings and more than a few generous donations by patrons of the bars and inns where she played her music. but she made it. Her stomach started to rumble. She hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. Being ay too excited to go to school. And also she didn’t have much money. So to save some she thought she might as well skip a meal or so to eat her fill at this “free” breakfast.<br>
<br>
 Noelle noticed a commotion at the entrance of the feasting hall. As she got closers she saw what it was all about. A trio of second-year students were being obstructive not letting anyone in without payment. How annoying. She didn’t want to deal with these bullies. But she didn’t have any money to pay them nor did she believe herself physically capable to deal with them. And the scent of all that yummy food coming from the feasting hall wasn’t helping in the slightest. As she pondered her options a girl with long blond hair followed by a grey-haired maid walked up to the bullies and started to reprimand them. Noele felt like she had seen the blond girl before. It took a moment before she realised who it was. <span style="color: #4876FF"><i>"Isn’t that the desk clerk girl from the Osun guild hall?.. Didn’t expect to see her here."</i></span> She thought when she finally recognised Amanda. By that time another person had arrived. A white-haired priestess who was also addressing the bullies now.<br>
<br>
 Noelle had heard Amanda’s advice about there being multiple entrances into the hall. And It would have been wise to heed that knowledge and go look for another entrance. But Noelle was seriously hungry. So logic wasn’t something she was using at the moment. All she wanted was to get to the food as soon as possible. So main entrance it was.<br>
  With Amanda and the priestess occupying the bullies for now Noelle might be able to slip past the group. She pulled out her instrument from her bag. She took a deep breath before walking towards the group at a calm pace. Hen she got close she started to play a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqah28ygacI" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dfqah28ygacI&amp;hash=7aa801cad5a083f527ece64003a761da" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">song</a> on her lyre. <span style="color: #4876FF"><i>"Please ignore me!! Please ignore me!! Please ignore me!!"</i></span> She kept looking straight ahead as she attempted to walk past the group. She hoped they found the music pleasant and ignore her. Or maybe confuse them with her brazen attempt long enough so she could pass them. All she needed was to get past the group and into the hall and she was safe. And if anyone would call her out while doing this Noele was planning to make a run for it.</div>

<br>
Amanda's calm yet authoritative words gave pause to Bartholomew and his cronies blocking the entrance. For a moment, Bartholomew's smirk faltered as this newcomer lectured them on academy conduct. Ragnar shifted uncomfortably, however Wylda furrowed her eyebrows thinking over Amanda's tirade, looking down at the floor tiles very interesting.<br>
<br>
The crowd of nervous first-years, who had been watching the confrontation anxiously, now murmured among themselves. Several glanced around, taking Amanda's advice to heart and moving to find alternate entrances now that she had distracted the bullies.<br>
<br>
"Other pathways, huh? Think you're so smart just because you got some fancy letter?" Bartholomew scoffed, puffing out his chest. But his bravado was undercut by the way his eyes darted to the side. Bartholomew snapped his fingers, "Tell her Wyldia."  Still Amanda's calm confidence had thrown him off-balance, no matter how he tried to play it off.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Gloria forced herself to stand down at Amanda's order, though her protective instincts remained on high alert. She glared dangerously at the trio, ready to intervene at the first sign of aggression toward her charge. Her hands gripping her shotgun, taps her fingers looking at the troublemakers.<br>
<br>
Finally, Wyldia spoke, "Not bad for a first year freshie, but we aren't extorting anyone. We are offering in-kind services exchanging useful information with small payment. That is allowed." She seemed to have found a loophole that she was satisfied with, however the other two still seemed uncertain.<br>
<br>
Ragnar swept his gaze across the newcomers still lingering, unsure whether to try another entrance or not. "Alright show's over, move along!" He shouted.<br>
<br>
Some newcomers did shuffle away, not wanting to cause trouble on their very first day. But a few stubbornly held their ground, emboldened by Amanda's reasonable words.<br>
<br>
One gangly boy with oversized glasses spoke up, "I don't have any more coins to spare, but I'd like to pass all the same." He tried to sidle past Bartholomew, who roughly blocked him with one arm.<br>
<br>
"You deaf, half-pint? Pay up or scram!" Bartholomew growled. But even as he said it, his voice lacked conviction. Amanda had unsettled his composure and certainty.<br>
<br>

<br>
As Noelle approached the tense situation at the entrance, strumming a beguiling melody on her lyre, the scowling bullies momentarily turned their attention to the newcomer. Her lilting song seemed to catch them off guard, its soothing notes temporarily distracting them from blocking the door.<br>
<br>
For a few heartbeats, the gangly boy with oversized glasses seized the opportunity and made a break for the open doors behind the trio. "Hey!" shouted Ragnar, making a grab for the boy but only managing to snag his bag as the skinny youth slipped inside the hall.<br>
<br>
"Nice one, slippery!" Bartholomew growled, rounding on Noelle. But even as he turned, the mermaid quickened her pace, not breaking the rhythm of her playing as she closed in on the entrance.<br>
<br>
Wylda stared admiringly at Noelle's instrument. "Such a pretty song," she murmured dreamily. For once, she seemed oblivious to the situation at hand.<br>
<br>
Drawing up his full height, Bartholomew moved to block Noelle's path. But he got distracted and his foot caught on a loose flagstone and he stumbled, swearing. In that moment of clumsiness, Noelle breezed past the off-balance bully. Her fingers never stopped dancing over the lyre strings.<br>
<br>
From within the hall came a clattering crash and angry shouts - evidence that the skinny boy had made quite an entrance. Likely upsetting a table and causing general chaos. Hearing the commotion, Gloria tensed, ready to rush inside, but she hesitated at Amanda's command.<br>
<br>
Inside, the skinny boy sat sprawled atop a fallen bench, amid spilled drinks and ruined pastries. But his eyes shone brightly as he took in the grandiose surroundings, clearly unharmed by his spectacular crash-landing into the hall. Noelle stood to one side, lyre still in hand, catching her breath from the daring musical maneuver.<br>

<br>
As Eris approached the tense scene unfolding at the entrance to the feast hall, Bartholomew's expression soured even further. Between Amanda's reasonable but forceful reprimand and now the arrival of an apparent professor, his bravado was rapidly deflating.<br>
<br>
Ragnar shuffled his feet, clearly uncomfortable with the situation now that multiple authority figures were intervening. "C'mon Barty, maybe we should just let them through," he muttered under his breath.<br>
<br>
But Bartholomew was not ready to back down fully yet. "We weren't extorting anyone!" he insisted sullenly. "It's a free market, we can charge what we want for...helpful information." Even he didn't seem convinced by his own weak justification.<br>
<br>
Wylda just blinked slowly at Eris, murmuring "Ooooh shiny..." as magical energy swirled around the priestess's raised hand. The elf seemed enthralled by the light display.<br>
<br>
Seeing Eris preparing a spell, Gloria tensed and shifted her footing, ready to defend Amanda if things took a turn for the worse. But Amanda held up a hand, signaling Gloria to wait and see how this played out.<br>
<br>
The remaining first year students watched with bated breath, wide-eyed at the stand-off unfolding before them. A few slowly edged toward the feast hall doors, taking advantage of the distraction.<br>
<br>
Finally, under the combined disapproving gazes of Amanda, Eris, and now several of the braver newcomers emboldened by their stance, Bartholomew threw up his hands. "Fine, go stuff your faces, firsties! We were just leaving anyway."<br>
<br>
He stomped off, followed hastily by Ragnar. Wylda trailed after, still staring at the glimmers of light around Eris. "So shiny..." she repeated in a daze.<br>
<br>
With the bullies retreating, Gloria finally relaxed her battle-ready posture. The remaining newcomers hurried into the banquet hall, giving quick thanks to Amanda and Eris as they passed. Soon the entrance was clear, the confrontation defused without violence.<br>
<br>
Inside, the feast was already underway, students mingling and enjoying the sumptuous fare. Amanda and Eris had ensured that the first-years' big day would not be ruined by a few misguided troublemakers. Still, the actions of Bartholomew's group would need to be addressed to prevent future issues...<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
After the tense confrontation was resolved, the newcomers hurried into the grand Feasting Hall of Champions. Vaulted ceilings towered overhead, sunlight streaming through massive stained glass windows depicting epic tales of legends who had passed through these hallowed halls. Long tables were piled high with extravagant foods - fluffy pastries dripping with honey, juicy hams glazed with spices, towers of colorful fruits and cheeses.<br>
<br>
The newcomers eagerly filled their plates and found seats among the other students. An energetic hum of conversation filled the hall as they swapped stories, compared programs of study, and marveled at the wonders surrounding them. Many second and third year students welcomed the newcomers warmly.<br>
<br>
After the anxiety of the morning, the mood lightened considerably as the new recruits enjoyed the camaraderie and bountiful feast. Their initial challenges outside faded into memory as they immersed themselves in the celebrations.<br>
<br>
Too soon, the breakfast was over, and it was time for the next part of the first years' initiation - the entrance exams. Nervous whispers circulated as the newcomers were led in groups along winding paths that followed the glittering streams flowing from the legendary Celestine Spring.<br>
<br>
The crystalline waters burbled merrily over moss-covered rocks. Intricate mosaics depicting the spring's mythical origins lined the passageways, hints of magic glimmering in the tiles. The first years paused to sip from the rejuvenating waters, gathering their courage before entering the testing chambers.<br>
<br>
There the hopefuls were sorted into groups of thirty. Amanda (<a href="/members/uasal.15456/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="15456" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId112">

)  found themselves under the watchful eyes of Eris and the imposing dragonborn warrior, Sir Braxus Dragonheart. His scaly hide shimmered in the torchlight as he observed them weighing their potential.<br>
<br>
In addition to Eris and Sir Braxus overseeing the entrance exams, several second and third-year students assisted as proctors. Unfortunately, among them were the now sullen-looking Bartholomew, Ragnar, and Wylda. Bartholomew stared daggers at Noelle and nudged Ragnar as he said something and the pair laughed. Wylda looked at Eric, licking her lips and watching Eris hands. Despite the earlier confrontation, they had been assigned exam duties along with the other older students.<br>
<br>
First was Cressida Ravenwatch, a studious half-elf girl with long raven hair and clever green eyes. She carried an ornate staff and wore robes embroidered with silver runes. As one of the top students, she took her proctor duties very seriously.<br>
<br>
The other was Dante Shadowstalker, a charismatic tiefling boy with curved horns and a mane of white hair. Though known as a bit of a rebel, his top marks in illusion and transmutation magic made him an ideal exam proctor. He flashed the newcomers a roguish grin as he helped prepare the trials, his eyes lingered on Echo, having caught her earlier outside the Feasting Hall of Champions. Who would have thought the nameless adventurer was actually a third year!!<br>
<br>
Between Eris, Sir Braxus, Cressida, Dante, and the others, the newcomers faced an experienced and talented panel determining their fates. Nervous energy charged the chamber as the first tests began.<br>
<br>
"Right then, let's see if you whelps can pass muster," his voice boomed through the chamber. With mighty arms crossed, Sir Braxus watched as he continued, "Eris begin preparing the first tests to gauge whether these newcomers have what it takes to join the academy's ranks."<br>
<br>
 The entrance exams had begun!<br>

<br>
Description: </b>Sir Braxus Dragonheart is an imposing dragonborn with gleaming red scales and eyes like smoldering embers. Twin curved horns sprout from his brow, and his powerful tail sweeps behind him as he patrols the exam room. His plate armor is meticulously polished and styled with intricate dragon motifs. The crest of the Dragonheart clan adorns his pauldrons. Though decades old, Braxus carries himself with a warrior's vigor and pride. His mere presence seems to fill the chamber as the newcomers await his judgment.<br>
<br>
<b>Personality: </b> As head combat instructor at the academy, Braxus upholds a strict code of honor and expects nothing less from his students. Though stern, he is fair and wants each recruit to unlock their full martial potential. He has little patience for slackers or egos, demanding discipline and teamwork. Under his intimidating scowl lies a deep well of knowledge from his adventures across the realm. Braxus knows that battles are won through planning and smart tactics as much as strength. He takes seriously his duty to train the next generation of heroes, even if he hides his faith in them behind a gruff demeanor. Woe to any student who risks harming their allies through carelessness - they'll get an earful of rebuke from Braxus.<br>
<br>
<b>Skills/Abilities:</b> In his youth, Braxus achieved fame as a dragon slayer, facing down terrifying beasts with precise strikes from his mighty greatsword. Though past his prime as a warrior, he remains in peak physical conditioning and can still outmatch many younger challengers in tests of strength or skill. His knowledge of battle strategy and monster weaknesses is unmatched. Braxus can discern the smallest flaws in a recruit's fighting style and knows precisely how to correct them. His own technique serves as a model for students to emulate. In addition to his martial talents, Braxus studied the arcane arts of abjuration and divination, mastering protective wards and scrying magics. With his enchanted greatsword Dragonsbane (Mithril C; Enchanted D) and Full Plate of the Sentinel, Braxus is a bastion on the battlefield who can pinpoint enemy weaknesses.<br>

Amanda's internal skepticism was hard to ignore. The flimsy excuse did little to mask the trio's true intentions of blocking the door and seeking undue payment. The chasm between Wylda's words and the reality of their actions was wide, the excuse a feeble attempt to justify their behavior.<br>
<br>
However, before Amanda could voice her thoughts, a teacher arrived on the scene. The authority figure's presence cut through the tension like a blade, their disapproving gaze directed at the trio. It was clear that the teacher saw through the ruse and had come to address the situation promptly.<br>
<br>
Amanda's lips quirked in a subtle, almost imperceptible smile. Justice, it seemed, had its own way of manifesting. She glanced briefly at Wylda, her expression a mix of empathy and the hope that this reprimand would serve as a lesson. Though she didn't say a word, Amanda's thoughts resonated with a silent acknowledgment that the truth always found its way to the surface, no matter how cleverly it might be obscured.<br>
<br>
That being said she wasn't very fond of the teacher's threat as a means to resolve the situation. It had been effective but Amanda felt such a method of handling the situation would only serve to promote the behavior in the teacher's absence. After all had she not just set an example that violence and force was an acceptable tool? Violence and threats certainly were useful when used correctly but Amanda felt in this case, it would only lead to deepen any animosity festered.<br>
<br>
With the Trio eventually clearing off after a number of students managed to slip past, a familiar bard being among them, Amanda took a moment to thank the teacher before moving inside.<br>
<hr><br>
Stepping into the ornate and well-decorated hall, Amanda's senses were immediately greeted by a symphony of colors and aromas. The ambiance was a blend of sophistication and opulence, a fitting setting for the academy's esteemed students to gather and share a meal. The clinking of silverware and the gentle hum of conversation filled the air, creating a tapestry of sound that enveloped her.<br>
<br>
As she took her place at one of the elegantly set tables, Amanda's thoughts wandered. The events that had transpired outside lingered in her mind, a reminder of the complexities that could lay beneath even the most seemingly innocuous interactions. The trio's attempt at extorting their fellow students had been thwarted, but the incident left behind a trail of questions.<br>
Sipping from a delicately crafted goblet, Amanda considered the situation. It was curious how Bartholomew, one of the members of the trio, had known about her admission through a letter of recommendation. The fact that such knowledge had reached their ears raised suspicions. How had that information been leaked, and more importantly, why had they taken an interest in her specifically?<br>
<br>
Her gaze swept over the hall's occupants, their conversations weaving together into a rich tapestry of voices. Amanda's ability to read people had served her well as an advisor, and now it was in full force as she discreetly observed those around her. She couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that there was more to the trio's actions than met the eye, that their encounter was not merely coincidental.<br>
<br>
As Amanda indulged in the sumptuous breakfast, her mind remained active. She was no stranger to the complexities of politics and intrigue, having navigated them as part of her role as Countess Regula Caelia's advisor. The academy, it seemed, was no exception. The threads of mystery and uncertainty intertwined with the tapestry of knowledge and camaraderie that the institution represented.<br>
<br>
With each bite of the exquisite fare, Amanda contemplated the web of possibilities that surrounded her. The answers to her questions might be elusive, but her determination to uncover the truth was unwavering. As she engaged in polite conversation with her fellow students, her thoughts remained focused on the enigma that had unfolded before her, a puzzle waiting to be solved amidst the backdrop of academic excellence.<br>
<hr>The transition from the luxurious breakfast to the next phase of initiation was swift. Nervous anticipation hung in the air as the newcomers, Amanda among them, were led along the winding paths that traced the sparkling streams flowing from the renowned Celestine Spring. The melodic bubbling of crystalline waters danced over mossy rocks, and the mosaic tiles lining the passages radiated an otherworldly magic.<br>
<br>
The allure of the spring's waters was irresistible, and Amanda, like her fellow first years, paused to sip from the rejuvenating source. The liquid seemed to invigorate her spirit, washing away any lingering doubts and instilling a renewed sense of purpose. The path ahead was one of challenge, yet the spring's magic infused her with a quiet courage.<br>
<br>
The testing chambers beckoned, a realm of trials and opportunity. Amanda's heart quickened as she was sorted into a group of thirty, her eyes drawn to the familiar face of Noelle, the bard she had met earlier. Recognition sparked within her, connecting the dots of their shared journey. Two others, unknown to her, completed their group. The presence of the familiar teacher Eris from before and the figure of authority Sir Braxus added a layer of gravity to the proceedings.<br>
<br>
However, Amanda's attention was quickly caught by the unexpected presence of the trio that had attempted to extort fellow students. Bartholomew, Ragnar, and Wylda were now among the proctors overseeing the exams. Their sullen expressions and curious interactions sent ripples of concern through Amanda. Bartholomew's malicious stare and the exchange between him and his companions hinted at potential interference, a continuation of their earlier disregard for the rules.<br>
<br>
Amanda's displeasure was palpable, and her determination to ensure the integrity of the exams surged. She turned to her ever-watchful guardian, Gloria, and whispered her worry. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Gloria, be on alert. Those three might try to interfere in some way. No matter what happens, do not react. Simply take note of their doings. My focus is on the exam itself. Your interference would likely see me disqualified and should that happen all my efforts up to this point would be for naught. Understand? Do not engage no matter the circumstance. I will be fine and even if I do find myself harmed, it will become the silver bullet needed to deal a fatal blow."</span><br>
<br>
As Amanda spoke, her hand moved to her holster, producing a revolver—a tool she had created and fine-tuned as part of her wide-ranging skill set. She inspected it with practiced care, the cold metal a reassuring weight in her palm. It was a tangible symbol of her readiness to face any challenges that might arise.<br>
<br>
With a deep breath, Amanda's gaze shifted to the exam chamber's entrance, where Eris and Sir Braxus stood, their presence embodying authority and guidance. Among the older students present, Amanda's attention was drawn back to Bartholomew, Ragnar, and Wylda. Despite her concerns, she maintained a facade of calm resolve, her fingers lightly brushing the revolver's handle as she steeled herself for the trials that lay ahead.</div></div>

As Ragnar spoke up as saying it was probably best to move on, Eris closed her book and tucked it away, not once moving her eyes away from the trio. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">The first day on the job and I already have to discipline the students? What is wrong with this city? Goddess Holfeel should shed some extra bit of her light on this city. </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself as the trio tried to figure out what to do next. As Barty spoke up again, Eris met his gaze, showing she wouldn't back down. </span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"So I should start charging individual students to attend my classes? Interesting," </span>Eris paused momentarily, feigning contemplation on the matter. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"You realize that makes you a fool, money, now I would strongly encourage you to let them pass unless you want to explain why the new students were late to the hall," </span>she concluded slightly lisping before tapping the butt of her staff against the ground twice. <br>
<br>
Eris cocked her eyebrow as the Wylda seemed to take an interest in her after she was preparing to use a spell. She took her attention off of Bartly as she was trying to figure out what that was about when the other behind her and Amanda decided to get bolder and forced Bartly's group to leave. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Go on, there is a schedule to keep, everyone please find your seats in the hall. The entrance exam will begin shortly after," </span>Eris called out as the students made their way into the hall and thanked her as they passed by. Eris watched the trio for a few moments before standing off to the side of the entrance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Hello, would you be interested in learning about the Goddess Holfeel, the goddess of Reincarnation and guide of souls?" </span>She inquired before taking several fliers in her hand,  a child-like smile appeared on her face as she pushed a box over by the entrance and then stood upon it. Clearing her throat, she tapped the butt of her staff on the ground twice. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Book of Tylaith verses 1 through 9, out walked Holfeel clad in bright light and out she led us from the darkness. Through her light, the tide of our luck had changed. No longer were we the ones running, but in fact, we were now reclaiming our lives. Blessed are those who walk in the light and know of the goddess,"</span> Eris paused a moment as she cleared her throat again. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"The book of Lavicus verses 3-9 states, There we stood in complete darkness and as it was about to swallow the world. There was a bright light, a light that pushed back the darkness as it guided out those who followed; a woman met them at the end of their path, and she said, dear children, follow me, for I am always with you."</span> Eris recited from memory. Figuring she might as well teach those who would listen about her Goddess. <br>
<br>
Once she got to her seat, Eris quickly grabbed the food that was on the table and placed it on her plate. So far, the first day had been interesting though she had no idea what would happen next. The time for the exam was fast approaching, and there were going to be several sets of tests for whatever reason, she had been picked as one of the people to guide one of the new groups through the process. <br>
<br>
Opening one of the rolls that was on the table, Eris took her knife spread some butter on the bread, and then took a bite of the food. If there was one thing she would enjoy about her time here, it was the food. She wouldn't have to make anything for herself, which was always a welcome change, especially if she didn't feel like cooking something that day. This was something that she was going to get used to very fast. <br>
<br>
As breakfast ended, she patted her belly letting out a satisfied sigh as she stood up from her seat. As she was given the group she was supposed to lead through the paths she smiled, <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Follow me!" </span>Eris commanded as she smiled and turned around to start to lead the group to the first destination. As they reached the chamber, Sir Braxus was waiting for their arrival. When the command to start the exam began Eris took a few steps forward as a wall of metal appeared from the ground. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"The First exam will be about control, you will use your strongest attack or ability to either make the slab break or crumble. For those of you who are not combat-gifted, if you exert enough focus ont he stone or over-change it with magic it will also burst. But here I the catch, too much power and the stone will shatter causing a small explosion and too little power the metal stone here will glow red. You must find the balance, just because you have a strong ability or power doesn't mean you will win every fight and in fact if you are not careful others will get in the crossfire," </span>Eris paused for a moment. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"So I will show you what will happen if you overcharge the stone," </span>Eris smiled as she turned her back toward the students and pulled out her scripture, "<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Book of Evitius verses 3-9. For those who do not look upon the light, there shall be fire. A fire that will cleanse the soul or remove it from the cycle. For it is us the clergy of our goddess' faith that stand at the bearers of the torch. For that torch is the salvation and the executioner, for I sentence you to be judged by her holy flames!" </span>As she finished the verse the beam shot down from the heavens and ignited the area around the rock, and a few seconds after the impact the stone then exploded sending small pebbles of rocks in various directions. <br>
<br>
A few seconds later another one appeared, <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Simple as that, now lets begin the exam," </span>Eris concluded.</div>

As Eris explained the nature of the first exam, Amanda's attention sharpened. Control was the name of the game, a delicate balance between power and precision. The task involved utilizing one's strongest ability or attack to manipulate a slab of metal, aiming to either break it or cause it to crumble. Amanda listened intently, absorbing the rules and guidelines that would determine success.<br>
<br>
Eris's words resonated with a deeper truth—an important lesson in combat strategy. Power alone didn't guarantee victory; it was the mastery of that power, the understanding of its limits, and the ability to wield it with finesse that truly mattered. Amanda appreciated the broader implications of the exam, beyond the immediate challenge at hand.<br>
<br>
As Eris demonstrated the consequences of overcharging the stone, Amanda watched with a mix of fascination and respect. The verses spoken, the scripture invoked—it was a reminder of the academy's rich tradition and the weight of responsibility that came with their studies. The explosion that followed was both awe-inspiring and a stark reminder of the consequences of unchecked power.<br>
<br>
When Eris announced the commencement of the exam, Amanda shifted her focus inward. Her skills in artificing and engineering gave her a unique perspective on the task at hand. As others around her might have been considering brute force or magical prowess, Amanda took a different approach. She observed the metallic slab, her analytical mind assessing its composition, its structure, and its potential vulnerabilities. <b><i><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Expert Artificer] [Engineering Expert] [Mining Expert] [Investigation Expert]</span></i></b><br>
<br>
With a calm determination, Amanda closed her eyes briefly, visualizing the inner workings of the slab. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>[10,000 Hours? Rookie Numbers! F]</b></span> She tapped into her knowledge of mechanics, envisioning how stress and pressure could manipulate its integrity. When she opened her eyes, her gaze was focused and her movements deliberate. She extended her hand, fingers splayed, and a faint shimmer of the slab's energy danced around her palm.<br>
<br>
Rather than channeling the slab's raw power, Amanda drew upon her understanding of the slab's mechanics. She exerted a precise and controlled force, targeting specific points with a calculated touch. The metal responded, showing signs of strain as her influence reverberated through its structure. The challenge was not to shatter the slab but to manipulate it to the point of controlled disintegration.<br>
<br>
Amanda's concentration was unwavering, a testament to her focus and expertise as a craftswoman. Gradually, cracks formed along predetermined lines, and the metal responded to her guidance. It was a dance of intellect and energy, a symphony of calculated force. As the slab crumbled in a controlled cascade, Amanda allowed herself a small smile of satisfaction.<br>
<br>
Her approach might have been less overtly powerful, but it spoke to her understanding of the task and her ability to navigate challenges with finesse. As the remnants of the slab settled, Amanda's eyes met Eris's gaze for a brief moment—a silent acknowledgment of the lessons learned.<br>
<br>
With the first exam behind her, Amanda's thoughts turned to the tests that lay ahead. Each challenge was an opportunity to showcase her skills and growth, to unravel the mysteries of the academy, and to emerge as a force to be reckoned with within the ranks of the Celestine Academy's students.<br>
<br>
Having successfully completed her own approach to the exam, Amanda felt a surge of satisfaction. Her gaze shifted to her three teammates, the individuals she would be working with to navigate the challenges ahead. With a sense of camaraderie and determination, she turned to them, offering guidance that might aid them in their endeavors.<br>
<br>
Addressing her teammates with a friendly yet authoritative tone, Amanda shared her insights, <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Noelle, when you use your bardic magic, focus on the resonant frequencies of the metal or its magics. Aim to disrupt its harmonics—it might not take much force if you find the right notes. And for our combat-gifted teammates,"</span> she continued, looking at the two others, <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"target the joints and the areas where stress might be concentrated. A well-placed strike can exploit weaknesses and shatter the slab effectively."</span><br>
<br>
Her words were a blend of practical advice and encouragement. Amanda's expertise in various fields gave her a unique perspective on the task, and she wanted to contribute to her team's success. She was well aware that their individual strengths could complement each other, and by pooling their talents, they stood a greater chance of mastering the exam.<br>
<br>
Amanda's demeanor exuded a sense of collaboration and unity, emphasizing that they were all in this together. She believed in the power of shared knowledge and the strength that came from working as a cohesive unit. As they embarked on the exam, Amanda's hope was that her guidance would serve her teammates well, fostering a sense of achievement and camaraderie among them.<br>

The breakfast seemed to be over pretty quick, despite his lack of company. The teachers ushered everyone out of the room and into a nearby field where the first assignment was explained. <br>

But here is the catch, too much power and the stone will shatter causing a small explosion and too little power the metal stone here will glow red.

Wait, isn't that one of the fellows who assisted him and everyone else in Tri-Point? It was! It is! How did she become a teacher here? Granted, he doesn't actually know the extent of her abilities, which means she must be skilled enough to be considered a teacher. If a chance arises to have a chat he will go for it. Thomas expects to be quite busy, and signed up for as many classes as he could about the world, how it works, how people govern it, and various other classes like this one about basic magic control. <br>
<br>
Thomas watches the other students as they attempt to break or crumble the slab of rock provided. Most of the students were having trouble, and a select few were understanding it very quickly. His way of making the rock crumble seems to be straighforward. Thomas decides to cast [Time Skip], which fast forwards time on a target. Rocks are fairly durable, but even the best built castles fall into ruin and crumble away with time as he was told in his bedtime stories by mom and dad. Thomas maintains the spell at a steady pace as the rock crumbles under the accelerated aging process wrought upon it by chronomancy, until it crumbles away into dust. <br>

After eating her way through several helpings of sunny-side-up eggs, each of which had a different colored yolk, she turned her attention to the table full of pastries and various forms of what she could only assume were this world's version of pemmican. There was a crowd of people around it, larger than the one milling about the table with threshed and frosted wheat.  Peering around, she noticed that the bullies from earlier couldn't be seen, <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Surely they weren't expelled for their behavior..?'</span></i><br>
<br>
Before she had time to ruminate on it any longer, a gap opened up in the crowd of students between her and the nearest frosted Bearclaw. Darting over to the table she grabbed the pastry and promptly started devouring it. The thought of carbo-loading crossed her mind for a moment before she decided that, as they had come here to be taught magic, she probably shouldn't stuff herself. It would be hard enough to keep a clear mind this close to noon, in her past life the time for Hunting was closer to midnight, the exact opposite; and despite a literal lifetime to adjust, her circadian rhythm was still out of whack.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Still,'</span></i> She mused, <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'No reason I couldn't save some for later, I paid for the meal, after all.'</span> </i>Grabbing a few of the choicest looking pastries, and several handfuls of pemmican, she utilized a nearby cloth napkin to make a parcel for snacking on later, then left the feasting hall. It was odd seeing so many people in one place, she mused, and the exam itself was no exception. Twenty-eight other people in her group, if she didn't count herself and Thomas.<br>
<br>
That priestess of the Goddess Holfeel was their exam administrator; had she somehow stumbled into some elaborate ruse that would finally culminate in the holy woman's revenge? Probably, though she wasn't sure what Eris stood to gain from getting her refused entrance to the Academy. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed the snarky know-it-all from earlier was there too. True to form she launched into a tutorial for passing the exam, seemingly a walking encyclopedia. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Is that even allowed? Sort of seems like cheating.' </span></i><br>
<br>
Her eyes wandered to the Tiefling third year who had helped her up before breakfast. It was somehow embarrassing that he was now one of the proctors; like he'd think less of her because she fell down. Not that it would matter after she proved herself. The bullies from earlier had also made their reappearance, though they seemed chuffed about it.<br>
<br>
As Thomas began to erode the rock with magic, she thought that perhaps she should use her own magic to accomplish a similar feat, though she had never been able to give much form to mana before, and she didn't even have a catalyst, she had been borrowing Thomas's to practice. Walking up to the slab that stood before her, she [Appraised] the rock. It seemed like she could reasonably cast her spear through something maybe twice the size or density of the rock. Crossing her arms, she began to think the situation through. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'If I simply cut it down with ease, Eris would definitely go "Bwahaha," and then send me straight to some kind of internship or something, probably at the Basilica cleaning windows. But, if I don't deal with it somehow, Thomas is going to start taking classes without me...' </span></i><br>
<br>
She stood in quiet contemplation for a moment, then decided on a course of action. She had never really practiced the style, but Great-Grandfather Balor used to know several kicking arts, and she'd seen him use them at least a dozen times. Taking a [Fast F] running start toward the target, she jumped, and slammed the heel of her foot into the center of the metal slab, with all her [Strength A].<br>

So far so good. The bullies seem to be confused for the moment by Noelle’s sudden musical march. She might even be able to pull this off and get inside the dinner hall before they could recollect their thoughts and try to stop her. But she knew this as wishful thinking. She felt their eyes on her. And she was still too far away to safely make a run for it. What was she to do now?<br>
 Suddenly a big-glassed kid used the distraction that Noelle was causing to make a break past the bullies. This was a blessing in disguise to Noelle for at that moment the attention of the leader of the bullies was drawn to the kid. <span style="color: #4876FF"><i>"This is it… I have to do it now!"</i></span> Noelle sped up her pace as Batholomew tried to grab the kid trying to run for the doors. The little mermaid kept playing her music. She was scared. But as she noticed how much Wylda enjoyed her music a smile appeared on her face. It always brought great joy to Noelle to see people liking her music. <br>
 Bartholomew noticed Noelle’s attempt to go for the doors. But as he wanted to turn and block her way he stumbled over a loose lag stone losing his balance. Noelle seized this opportunity to swerve around the mage.<br>
 With no one left in her way, Noelle darted into the feasting hall. The mermaid was able to stop in time before she could crash into something. Catching her breath it took a moment for Noelle to let it sink in what she just achieved. <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"I *pant* I *pant* I MADE IT!!"</b></span> She yelled triumphantly as she threw up her arms. Then her stomach grumbled, reminding her of her true goal of getting to the feasting halls in the first place.<br>
<br>
 Noelle took a seat at one of the tables and started to dig into the lavish breakfast filling herself up on sweet rolls and fruity pastries. It all tasted so much better than she could ever imagine. Given she isn’t used to the most luxurious of foods. So it is nice to have a proper meal once in a while. Noelle ate her fill, maybe even a little bit too much. But that would all resolve on its own once the tests will start. Or so she hoped.<br>
<br>
 It was time for the entry exams. Noelle followed the group as they were led along winding paths towards the location of the exams. Noelle’s stomach was acting up. She most definitely had eaten too much than was good for her. Or it might be caused by the fact her meal primarily consisted of “sweet” things that might have caused her stomach to protest now. Fortunately, their trail led past the waters flowing from the legendary Celestine Spring. As others took a sip from the rejuvenating water, so did Noelle. It is said that the water restored vitality and health. So no harm no foul in trying it. Noelle took a sip from the water and instantly felt a lot better. Her tummy wasn’t being annoying as much anymore. <br>
 <br>
 They arrived at the location for the first test. Noelle was sorted into a group of thirty. To her relief, Amanda was also in her group. It gave the mermaid a little bit of peace of mind that she was with someone a little bit familiar to her. But when she noticed the three bullies from earlier were there as proctors Noelle felt a bit uneasy. She had hoped she would be able to evade those three for as long as possible. But it seems fate had a different plan.<br>
 Noelle’s attention then was drawn by Eris as she explained how the first test worked. They needed to hit the rock in the hopes it would crack. Eris gave a demonstration of what would happen if they hit it too hard. So they needed to show control. Noelle wasn't sure if she would be able to do that. She didn’t have any combat abilities. Nor did she have to seriously channel magic as far as she remembered.<br>
 Amanda was one of the first to attempt to break the rock which she broke without much trouble. Noelle was amazed by that. She made it look so easy. <br>
 The advice Amanda then gave Noelle made her think <span style="color: #4876FF"><i>"focusing on the resonance within the stone? I could try that"</i></span> She walked up to her slab. Noelle wanted to confirm something first. She placed her hand on the stone. It felt solid and cold. Pretty much how Stone would feel. Noelle focused on her hand on the stone. She felt something stir within the rock. She removed her hand from the rock and saw, as Eris told them, that the rock was glowing red where she placed her hand. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"Okay I can do this"</b></span> Noelle took a few steps back and took her lyre in hand. She noticed one of the other students, a wizard boy, using time magic to decay the slab. On the other spectrum of attempts, Noelle saw a fae go for brute force and kick the slab. But She must not get distracted. Noelle must focus on her attempt to vanquish the stone. <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"Just need to find the right resonance"</b></span> she said to herself as She plucked at one of the strings while concentrating on the slab of stone. The stone reacted as it calmly vibrated. Noele plucked another string. This time producing a higher note. The stone vibrated again but this time it also started to glow a little. Using [performance F] Noelle kept producing notes on her instrument trying to find the right resonance that aligned with the stone. It sounded like the waves of the sea. Going up and down as Nole came ever closer to the right pitch. The stone was also dancing to the tunes. Its vibrations and the glowing tell the little mermaid how far or close she is to her goal. After about a minute Noelle kept playing one note over and over again. <span style="color: #4876FF"><i>"Found it!"</i></span> She was playing now in perfect harmony with the vibration of the rock. This was the resonance she was looking for. <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"Let’s end this!!"</b></span> Noelle raised her hand and took a deep breath before swooping it down past the strings unleashing a magical [Strum] at the rock. The slab started to vibrate like crazy and glowed bright red from the hit of magic-infused note for a few seconds before it crumbled down. <br>
 <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"I… I did it"</b></span> Noele said as she let out a sigh of relief. She turned towards Amanda and smiled at her giving her a thumbs-up to say thank you for the advice she gave.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Eris's dramatic demonstration immediately captured the attention of the gathered newcomers. A few gasped as the divine fire obliterated the metal slab, while others gazed in awe. The proctors observed the display keenly.<br>
<br>
Sir Braxus grunted in approval, nodding. "A fine showing of controlled power, Professor Granstone," his rumbling voice echoed through the chamber. Though destruction wasn't his preferred method, Braxus could appreciate a well-executed attack.<br>
<br>
Among the students, reactions varied. Bartholomew scowled, irritated that this new adjunct professor could so easily outshine his mediocre talents. Ragnar's eyes were wide with impression, while Wylda clapped enthusiastically at the fiery show.<br>
<br>
Cressida watched Eris like a hawk, carefully analyzing her technique and making notes about the spellwork. Academic at heart, demonstrations were fascinating to her. Dante just looked bored, yawning until Braxus cast a sharp glare his way.<br>
<br>
As the first metal slab reconstructed itself, the students lined up to take their turns. Most gave eager, if nervous, attempts to follow Eris's example. A few struggled to make a dent at all in the slab. But with each attempt, the proctors would pair off and either give helpful guidance or a blunt critique, pushing the recruits to find the balance between power and control.<br>
<br>
Amanda's clever manipulation of the slab's structure seemed to impress the observing professor. At least Braxus grunted, which passed for praise from the gruff warrior.<br>
<br>
However, one proctor was not so approving - Bartholomew glowered as the newcomer succeeded with apparent ease. As soon as Amanda stepped away from the remnants of her slab, he stormed over to her.<br>
<br>
"Hmph, nothing impressive about breaking a rock with parlor tricks," Bartholomew scoffed just loud enough for others to hear. "And then ruining the learning experience for others!"<br>
<br>
He dramatically waved his fingers as if preparing a spell, sparks sputtered and jolted like a living, swirling ring of sparks about two inches in diameter.<br>
<br>
Sir Braxus grunted again and looked at the pair. His glare held the ancient, malevolent greed of an elder dragon. A great and terrible weight fell upon the pair for a brief moment. Without saying another word, Sir Braxus' gaze turned towards the next candidate at the slab.<br>
<br>
"Eh, why bother. You got lucky this time, but don't think your little rock crushing stunt makes you anything special," he went on resentfully. "We'll see if you last past the first week here with that attitude!" Bartholomew whispered and turned back to give advise to another candidate, this one who had failed to do anything to the pillar.<br>
<br>
Still some of the recruits took Amanda up on her advice, trying take advantage of any edge they could get. Noelle was one such person, using her knowledge of song and Amanda's guidance on resonance to break the metal slab. Some others with guidance were able to follow Amanda's example targeting vulnerabilities in the slab, while others struggled even to make a dent.<br>
<br>
Until it was Echo's turn. Her forceful kick blew a hole through the center of the metal slab. The metal bent outward comically like a cartoon missile had blasted it in the center of the metal slab. A few observing students murmured in surprise at the physical display of strength from the slight girl. Even the usually stoic Braxus raised an eyebrow, evidently impressed.<br>
<br>
Among the proctors, reactions varied. Bartholomew rolled his eyes dismissively, while Wylda smiled and clapped as she had for each attempt. Studious Cressida took notes on Echo's form, analyzing points that could be improved.<br>
<br>
But the most intrigued proctor was Dante. The tiefling had noticed Echo immediately at the start of the exam, and continued observing her closely. Her contemplative poise suggested hidden depths beyond her petite frame. And the sudden explosive kick proved she had talents to reckon with.<br>
<br>
"Not bad, petit pied," Dante called out, using the old infernal term for 'little foot'. His voice was smooth and teasing. "But those slab constructs can take quite a beating. I've never seen a candidate put a foot through one. You even made the old dragon take notice."<br>
<br>
He stepped closer, golden eyes glinting with mischief. With a snap of his fingers, Dante added another layer of enchantment to the metal slab, increasing its density and durability. Runes shimmered across its surface.<br>
<br>
"Let's see if you can really make it crack now, ma crevette. Give it your best shot..." He gave Echo a roguish wink, enjoying the game of challenging this intriguing newcomer.<br>
<br>
Braxus rumbled in mild annoyance at his antics, "Save it, Dante."<br>
<br>
"Yes, Sir!" Although usually flippant to a fault, Dante gave a formal salute and dispelled the enchantments.<br>
<br>
Several other students went next.<br>
<br>
As Thomas channeled his chronomantic magic on the slab, a ripple seemed to pass through reality around it. The edges of the metal slab began rapidly corroding, flakes of rust peeling away as years of degradation caught up in seconds. Strange transparent afterimages flickered around it like a short-circuiting hologram.<br>
<br>
Within moments the solid slab had been reduced to a pile of metallic dust, its matter aged to dissolution by the temporal distortion. As the time warp collapsed, a light breeze scattered the glittering particles.<br>
<br>
Stunned silence filled the chamber. The other professors glanced between each other, unsure whether to count Thomas's esoteric solution as passing or not. Destroying the slab with accelerated time was clever, if utterly unpredictable.<br>
<br>
Finally Sir Braxus rumbled, "Well, can't say I've seen that tactic before. But you accomplished the task, recruit. Just try not to age us all into dust, understood?" Despite his gruff words, there was a hint of amusement in the old dragonborn's tone.<br>
<br>
"Fascinating!" added Cressida, furiously scribbling notes with eyes alight. "The applications of focused chronomancy! I must research this further."<br>
<br>
Bartholomew just sneered, "Weird magic tricks. Think you're so clever, time freak?"<br>
<br>
But Dante laughed delightedly. "I knew we had some original minds in this cohort! Well done, mon ami chrono. You'll liven up the classroom, I'm sure."<br>
<br>
The other students murmured excitedly amongst themselves. All eyes were on Thomas now, regarding the prodigy mage with newfound curiosity and respect after his unorthodox success.<br>
<br>
As the entrance exams continued, eventually the nervous boy Potter stepped up for his attempt, trailed by his weasel-kin friend. Potter's hands trembled as he prepared to channel a lightning bolt at the slab. There was a lightning bolt tattoo that ran from the tip of his forehead to the back of his scalp that light up in blinding light. "Help me Lord Volt!" He screamed. "Destroy that metal panel with righteous fury!"<br>
<br>
The whole room crackled as electrons became charged with static electricity. Hair and clothes stood out. Little bolts of lightning started to arc purple electricity between people who were close to each other.<br>
<br>
Then Potter's head began to bleed and the drops pooled upon the ground, forming a summoning circle! The blood from his tattoo gave form to an Evil God: Volthor, The God Of Thunderous Wrath!<br>
<br>
Volthor was a huge, muscular giant with vicious fangs, blue skin, and a hundred tattoos of ravens upon his back. He held a double-headed massive Axe with no handle, only wicked sharp blades the size of tree trucks. He grabbed the anguished boy Potter whose head was furious spewing blood.<br>
<br>
"Hahaha! You summoned me again with your unwise ritual, how much of a fool are you?! No wonder your only friend is a weasel!" He tossed the unconscious boy whose blood was still screaming out an unholy magic.<br>
<br>
Dark clouds instantly formed and roiled unnaturally within the room. Terrifying bolts of purple lightning struck several students, including the nameless weasel-kin boy. Their bodies were ignighted in purple flame! Their were screams and panic and several students twisted and convulsed as their bodies became mutated and warped by the hideous radiation such energies unleashed.<br>
<br>
Bartholomew screamed "My face! My beautiful face! Curse you evil god!" as one side become sagging and decaying, eaten by magical gangrene.<br>
<br>
Sir Braxus sighed. "Something like this happens every year." He peered at the boy on the ground and grunted.<br>
<br>
"None can stop me now! This mortal plane will suffer my wrath!" Volthor bellowed. The situation was rapidly deteriorating into outright disaster.<br>

			Stunned silence filled the chamber. The other professors glanced between each other, unsure whether to count Thomas's esoteric solution as passing or not. Destroying the slab with accelerated time was clever, if utterly unpredictable.

</blockquote>Thomas turns around and watches their expressions, which appeared to be confusion and uncertainty. This was starting to make him a little worried as the whole group stared silently. Thousands of thoughts raced through his head, beginning at '<i>What if I made a mistake?', 'Am I not good enough for this school?', </i>and a much more sad thought, <i>'There's no way... I'm going to get kicked out... it was fun while it lasted...' </i>Thomas dejectedly starts walking away from everyone when the first voice speaks up.<br>

			Finally Sir Braxus rumbled, "Well, can't say I've seen that tactic before. But you accomplished the task, recruit. Just try not to age us all into dust, understood?" Despite his gruff words, there was a hint of amusement in the old dragonborn's tone.

</blockquote>He stops walking, almost too happy to hear his acceptance. He felt on the verge of tears as he was walking away but quickly wipes them away before anyone can see and turns around with a bright smile on his face, as wide as he could possibly smile. "Thank you sir! You are all very kind I would never do such a thing!" He starts walking back to the group, practically beaming with pride but trying not to show it too much. After all, his power was still weak at this point. He needed to learn a lot more before he could call himself a proper chronomancer.<br>

</blockquote>Thomas approaches Cressida, his eyes also alight with the desire to learn more about what he can do in the future. "Yes! Let me know if I can help you with anything! I too would also like to study more of this and become an even better mage with more spells! The only way I see that happening is through hard work and perseverance! I can't wait to get started!" And, last but not least, one of the bullies from this morning at breakfast. He avoided them before but now it will be an impossibility to avoid any more detection after he rapidly aged the slab.<br>

</blockquote>Chrono. That could be a good nickname. However, Dante did one thing wrong. He dared to speak to Echo in a completely unprofessional manner of a proctor. Oh yes, if making Thomas jealous was the plan then that worked quite well. He watched where Echo moved to and went to stand at her side, boldly and shamelessly putting an arm around her shoulder. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet with you in the breakfast room. The city distracted me, I've never been to a place so big and vibrant. Say, when we get some free time want to go take a proper look at the city with me?" He keeps solid eye contact with her as long as he has her attention.<br>

</blockquote>Thomas was excited to keep learning at this school. There was already a (mostly) good number and quality of teachers here, and some others he will surely be avoiding like some of the proctors. He can feel all the eyes on him, and it felt good but he was also wary, being in a new location with so many people. After his turn, a scrappy looking kid steps up to the plate next, to try his attempt. However, the result was horrifying. The purple lightning came from the sky and struck many students, and Thomas watched quite helplessly as each student was bursting into flame. And then he shakily turns his head to look at the demon who had arrived from the blood summoning circle. His legs were shaking so much, it was hard to stand. He wants to run away. He wants to scream like everyone else. His heart is pounding and his palms are sweaty as he stands paralyzed in fear. But the magic inside him urges Thomas to act. He takes back his arm that was around Echo's shoulder and takes a step... forward. One foot after the other, he slowly starts gaining walking speed until he stands in front of everyone else. Thomas would regret it if he let someone else take the lead, especially Dante. "Y-you, d-demon!" He stutters, not able to hide the obvious fear in his voice. "I... I will stop you from harming anyone else here." The four blue dots on the bottom of his staff begin to light up one after the other, and then the blue dot on the top of his staff also lights up as magic courses through his body into his staff, creating a brilliant light in the center of it. "BEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!" With a mighty cry Thomas releases his spell, [Time Warp]: forcefully flinging the demon through time up to one hour.<br>

Eris turned to look at Sir Braxus as she gave him a nod as she stepped off to the side, the first student that came up was Amanda. Eris watched intently as she was curious to see what she would do. She watched closely as cracks started to form in the rock and then disintegrated to which she simply nodded her head and turned to look and see who was going to be the next person to step up to the plate. Though Eris herself ignored the assisted proctors reactions for the time being. <br>
<br>
Eris watched the students walk up and one by one slowly took their turns with destroying the plate that had been created by magic. Eris didn't even know a lot of these people, but there were a few she knew from a recent encounter, namely Thomas, and Echo. However, she felt like it wasn't her place to interrupt the exam to speak to them at the moment. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>Well, some of the students have an interesting take on the matter, I suppose. Though not everything can be completed with brute strength alone," </i></span>she thought to herself, clasping her hands behind her back as she started to stretch. <br>
<br>
Though what she hadn't expected was Dante creating another metal slab for Echo to try and breakthrough, Eris couldn't help but scowl at him before Braxus stepped in and told him to knock it off. Eris was surprised someone of her size could put a hole through the slab like that, though as she knew appearances could always be surprising. You never knew ones strength until they were knocking on your door. Or, well in this case punching a hole through your door. <br>
<br>
When Thomas stepped up Eris folded her arms across her chest as she wasn't sure what he was going to do at all. She didn't remember him using any magic when they had last met though to be fair she was preoccupied. So she knew that it could have just been something that she overlooked. When the slab turned into Dust, Eris's eyes widened a little bit as she hadn't expected that. Some of the students seemed to be a lot stronger than they were letting onto. Which meant that the lessons could get a bit harder, which she wasn't going to complain about. But for now there was still much to focus on for the exams. <br>
<br>
When Potter walked up and started his summoning Eris instinctively gripped her staff, and as the demon was summoned, Eris saw the carnage that it started to wreck right away. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Don't summon the thing if you cant control it!" </span>Eris shouted as the Demon was basically laughing at him and then started to attack those nearby it. Without much thought Eris revealed her scriptures and opened the book up,<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"> “Book of Icarus verse 16-20, in the beginning, there was nothing, weary travelers rest upon my gentle light. The faithful shall never want for protection, for I am the church and maker of holy ground. The foundation is my very soul; I consecrate this ground!”</span> As she finished the verse a barrier was erected around the remaining students. <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Stay inside and you should be fine," </span>Eris stated as she turned her attention toward the demon that was now causing the chaos. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"You know I've seen a whole lot more scary things than you," </span>Eris tried to taunt the demon as the scripture book opened to another verse, <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Book of Icarus verse 9-11, Be my weapon and deliver those to the light for I command you. Take up arms and bet he bear of my holy weapon!" </span>As the verse finished mana weaved itself through the staff creating a maul head at the top fo the staff made out of pure mana that glowed brightly. Without missing a beat Eris moved to swing at the demon and then would repeat the process using the divine weapon again.</div>

Amanda maintained her composed demeanor as she observed the continuation of the entrance exams. The attempts of her fellow students, some eager and some hesitant, demonstrated a range of abilities and approaches. The proctors' engagement, whether through guidance or critique, emphasized the importance of control and balance in wielding one's power effectively.<br>
Braxus's grunted approval, although brief, was significant to Amanda. She recognized the value of his acknowledgment, especially given his typically gruff demeanor. His experience and insight were evident, and his acknowledgment of her accomplishment carried weight.<br>
<br>
However, Bartholomew's reaction, driven by his apparent jealousy, didn't escape her attention. As he confronted her with his dismissive words and flashy display of sparks, Amanda maintained her composure. She understood that not everyone would appreciate her approach, especially when it yielded results that others found impressive. Sir Braxus's imposing gaze, laden with a sense of ancient authority, was a tangible reminder of the larger context. Amanda felt the weight of the moment as his attention shifted to the next candidate. It was a momentary reminder that her journey at the academy was just beginning, and she had much to prove beyond a single demonstration.<br>
<br>
Bartholomew's resentful tone and whispered words did little to shake Amanda's resolve. She had encountered such attitudes before, and she was prepared to face the challenges that came with being in an environment where competition and egos were abundant.<br>
<br>
As the exams continued, Amanda remained focused on the task at hand, drawing strength from her determination to learn and improve. The trials ahead were likely to be as varied as the personalities around her, but she was committed to facing them head-on, proving her abilities through action rather than empty words.<br>
<br>
As the proctors observed the students' attempts, reactions ranged from appreciation to surprise. The different responses of her peers were a testament to the varied talents and approaches present within the group. Echo's explosive display of strength elicited murmurs of surprise and admiration. Amanda couldn't help but be impressed herself, recognizing the significance of such a feat. The intriguing exchange between Echo and Dante added a layer of playful challenge to the atmosphere, revealing Echo's potential and catching the attention of those around her. Noelle too managed to overcome the trial, a welcome surprise given how quickly she managed to put Amanda's advice to use.<br>
<br>
Though most surprising of all was Thomas and his chronomancy. What an interesting and absurd power. Of all the magic she had seen and read of up to now, Chronomancy was by far one of the most powerful in nature. If one were to wield it right they could very easily bring about an end to the world. Was the academy really going to nurture such a power? Perhaps this world's understanding of modern physics was lacking to the point such a possibility wasn't even a concern. Or perhaps something else was going on. Regardless Thomas was a dangerous individual to be sure.<br>
<hr><span class="float-right"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1693246064218-png.1111111/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1048/1048241-42488d6b95def932adb80a26005ac928.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1693246064218.png" title="1693246064218.png" width="100" height="155" loading="lazy"></a></span>The sudden appearance of an evil god, Volthor, sent shockwaves through the chamber. The dramatic and catastrophic turn of events was unlike anything Amanda could have anticipated. Chaos erupted as the summoning spiraled out of control, the room descending into a cacophony of screams and panic.<br>
<br>
Amanda's instincts kicked in, her training and quick thinking guiding her actions. She immediately assessed the situation, recognizing the threat that Volthor posed to everyone present. The safety of the students and the need to contain the situation became her top priority.<br>
<br>
As Volthor's destructive powers wreaked havoc around him, Amanda took a deep breath and focused her will. Her hand instinctively reached for her holster, her fingers gripping the handle of her revolver with practiced ease. She didn't know if conventional weapons would be effective against a deity. She knew that her own skills in magic were limited, but she had to try something be it conventional or not right! Wrong.<br>
<br>
Releasing her grip on her weapon, Amanda took another deep breath. Acting rashly and without a plan could lead to catastrophic consequences. The memories of the fire that ravaged 'The Party of Greed' weighed heavily on her mind. A reminder of how not to go about handling oneself in an emergency.<br>
<br>
With a renewed sense of determination, Amanda took a deep breath and let herself calm down. Seeing Eris actively tending to the students caught in the chaos caused by the evil god's attack reassured her that the situation was being managed. She had faith in the competence of the academy's staff, and that allowed her to shift her focus back to the task at hand. <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"><b>[Ambitious] [Girl on Fire]</b></span><br>
<br>
As the chaos raged, Amanda's analytical mind kicked into gear. She saw an opportunity to utilize her expertise in artificing and engineering to make a practical contribution. She spotted one of the enchanted Mythril slabs that had been used for the entrance exam. Swiftly, she moved towards it, her thoughts already racing with ideas. <b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Expert Artificer] [Engineering Expert]</span></b><br>
<br>
Amanda's fingers danced over the surface of the metal slab, feeling for magical enchantments woven into it. Her knowledge and experience allowed her to identify the intricate patterns and energy flows that made up the enchantment but this slab, it had yet to be enchanted like the others. With an already clear understanding of their structure, she began to modify it with precision and purpose. Drawing on her Artificing and Enchanting skills, Amanda began inscribing enchantments to enhance the slab's destructive power and refocus its purpose while retaining its integrity. She focused on fine-tuning the balance between power and control, a concept that had been emphasized throughout the exams. Her hands moved with practiced precision, and her mind was fully engaged in the task.<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> <b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Expert Artificer] [Engineering Expert]</span></b></span><br>
<br>
As she worked, Amanda was aware of the curious glances from her peers and the proctors not to mention the chaos unfolding. However, she remained focused on the task, her determination unwavering. The slab transformed under her skillful touch, its magical properties taking on a new configuration that aligned with her intended modifications.<br>
<br>
When Amanda was satisfied with her changes, she stepped back and observed her work. The enchanted metal slab now bore the marks of her expertise, reflecting her knowledge and creativity. It was a tangible testament to her abilities and her dedication.<br>
<br>
Grabbing the Item she raised it toward the evil god and braced herself behind it as if wielding a very odd and heavy shield. "Release".<br>
The energy within the slab surged, building up in a concentrated form. Amanda's control over the enchanted modifications had allowed her to shape and direct the magical force the shield previously had harnessed. Then in a flash, the shield unleashed the built-up mana in the form of a blast.<br>
<br>
The blast of concentrated mana shot forth from the enchanted metal slab, surging with power and intent. It streaked through the air with a brilliant glow, aimed directly at the evil god, Volthor. The mana blast carried with it Amanda's resolve, her determination to protect her fellow students and to counter the threat posed by the malevolent entity.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center">As the mana blast neared its target, its force rippled with the energy Amanda had imbued it with. The air crackled with magic as the blast impacted, unleashing its potency in an attempt to disrupt and counteract the god's presence. Amanda's action was a calculated response, an attempt to harness her abilities in the face of a formidable adversary.​</div><hr><div style="text-align: center"><br>

She briefly wondered exactly what he was saying, but as he layered enchantments on it and challenged her to do it again, the meaning of the infernal phrases no longer mattered. Her hand tightened around the haft of her spear, her joints groaning in protest as she hefted the nearly unbreakable piece of metal into a proper stance.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, she did not get the chance to show off, as the rest of the proctors seemed eager to continue. With a shrug she simply sat with the rest of the entrants who had finished testing and waited for Thomas. Apparently, there was something of note to his spellcasting, a rarity or something like that. It was a curious thought; she had seen nothing too special about it during their travels. <br>
<br>
With a smile on her face she waved excitedly at Thomas as he joined the rest of the applicants who were waiting for the exam to end. As he apologized, she took out her notebook and started sketching out a cafe next to a used bookstore, along with the resplendent fountain that had sat in the center of the nearby plaza. Upon finishing she used her charcoal stylus to point to the fountain, as if to say, <i>'Let's go here?'</i><br>
She did not get a response, instead a roaring Giant began rampaging onto the scene, the result of some half-cocked ritual gone awry, or at least she figured as much. It started mumbling something, or another, not that she paid much attention to it. Instead, her eyes were on the dragonkin proctor, who seemed none too impressed. Was this a second test? Or some form of extra credit? She cast a glance at the priestess, who had sprung into action. <br>
<br>
Eris was focusing on healing, so this couldn't have been real combat, right? Then again, she was a Priestess, perhaps first, and an adventurer second. <i>'Gah,'</i> Running a frustrated hand through her hair, she decided that she didn't care whether or not this was part of the test. With a snarl on her face, she cracked her neck and took aim at the giant. As another attack slammed into the beast, she took a step back and threw her spear with all her might, muscle and tendons tearing as she did.<br>
<br>
With a limp, she made her way into the healing light Eris had summoned.<br>

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">As Volthor materialized amidst the exam hall, bellowing and swinging his massive axe, Thomas reacted on instinct. Calling upon his chronomancy, he willed the flow of time around the demon to accelerate.<br>
<br>
But Thomas' control was still unrefined. He only managed to push Volthor a few seconds into the future before the spell collapsed. It was just enough to displace the demon from his original position.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, several other students had already unleashed attacks at where Volthor had been standing. Without their intended target, the spells careened wildly across the hall. Searing fireballs, icy spears, and eldritch bolts of power ricocheted through the chamber.<br>
<br>
Many watched in horror as the friendly fire struck classmates left and right. Students collapsed with terrible burns, lacerations, and other bizarre effects from the barrage of uncontrolled magic. Their pained screams echoed around the hall.<br>
<br>
Before Thomas could act again, Volthor reappeared with a thunderous roar. The time warp had only delayed his assault by moments. Dark clouds swirled ominously above as Volthor called down more of his destructive lightning. The black raven tattoos upon his back rippled and began to move about his body.  Enraged, the demon swung his wicked axe in a broad arc, catching several fleeing recruits with the blade's cruel edge. The axe sliced through their armor and flesh just as easily.<br>
<br>
Eris raised a glowing barrier around the remaining students, Volthor bellowed in outrage. "Your pathetic magics won't save them!" He called down another barrage of malevolent lightning, but it fizzled and dispersed against the priestess's divine protections.<br>
<br>
Seeing his primary attacks nullified, Volthor turned his fury fully upon Eris. He swung his massive demonic axe in a deadly arc, attempting to smash through her guard. But with preternatural speed, Eris brought up her newly forged mana maul to parry the blow. Celestial and infernal weapons clashed in a shower of sparks.<br>
<br>
"You dare challenge me, mortal worm?!" Volthor pressed forward, blade grinding against Eris's maul. "I am fury incarnate! All shall burn in the fires of my wrath!"<br>
<br>
The students inside the barrier watched the epic duel with bated breath. Cressida and a few others dragged injured classmates toward the sanctuary of Eris's shield. Sir Braxus stood ready to intercept any blows that might break through and threaten the recruits.<br>
<br>
Amanda saw her opportunity and deftly modified and enchanted one of the metal slabs, imbuing it with concentrated destructive force, Volthor was caught off guard. Snarling curses and hammering blows against Eris's divine maul, the demon failed to notice the ingenious artificer's actions.<br>
<br>
The supercharged blast of mana slammed into Volthor's side, searing through his magical wards and scorching his blue hide. He howled in surprise and outrage, stumbling from the unexpected attack. Acrid smoke rose from his smoldering flesh where the mana blast had struck home.<br>
<br>
"Insolent mortal scum!" the demon roared, rounding on Amanda with murderous intent. But in that moment of distraction, Eris pressed her own assault, bringing her glowing maul down on Volthor's dominant arm. Bones crunched and the massive axe tumbled from his grip.<br>
<br>
Volthor's bellow shook the hall, but now the advantage had shifted. Wounded and disarmed, the demon found himself on the defensive. Eris rained down luminous blows while Amanda readied another round from her improvised mana cannon. The students and professors regrouped, rallying to finally put an end to the demon's rampage.<br>
<br>
Hope glimmered amidst the chaos - thanks to Amanda's timely intervention, the tide had turned against the Lord of Wrath. Now if the others could press the attack before Volthor gathered his infernal powers...this vile exam crasher could still be expelled back to the depths that spawned him!<br>
<br>
Echo pivoted, seeing her chance and exerted her superhuman strength to hurl her spear at the demon Volthor, the orichalcum weapon rocketed through the air like a shooting star. It pierced straight through the smoldering hole left by Amanda's mana blast, plunging deep into the demon's chest in an explosion of gore.<br>
<br>
Volthor's expression was almost comical in its shock as the spear punctured his black heart. He convulsed, clawing futilely at the weapon lodged within him as his lifeblood gushed forth.<br>
<br>
"No...I cannot fall...to these mortals..." the Lord of Wrath gurgled in disbelief even as he collapsed. His massive frame hit the ground with an earth-shaking thud, the light in his malevolent eyes finally dimming. With a last bubbling groan, the demon moved no more.<br>
<br>
The students erupted into relieved cheers, hardly believing the epic battle was over. Eris, Amanda, and Echo had landed the decisive blows while Thomas disrupted the demon's rampage. Together, their efforts had saved countless lives and ended the summoner boy Potter's catastrophic blunder.<br>
<br>
As the attack resolved, pain washed over Echo, causing her to collapse as delayed agony from overexerting herself caught up. Her valiant spear throw had exceeded her body's limits, fracturing bones and tearing muscles with its sheer force. Bruises and organs began to bleed internally, purple color blossomed over her skin.<br>
<br>
"Damn demon's followers get crazier every year," Dante muttered, glancing to the summoner boy now laying still as blood pooled around his head. He moved to help staunch the unnatural bleeding with several glittering enchantments.<br>
<br>
"You're lucky I was here, mon ami," Dante muttered to the unconscious Potter. "Those forbidden rituals never end well." With the unnatural hemorrhaging stopped, Dante carefully lifted the boy and carried him over to Eris' shield of radiant light.<br>
<br>
"One emergency patient for you, professeure," Dante said, laying Potter down beside the other injured students. "Try to get some sense back into this one once he's stable."<br>
<br>
Sir Braxus slowly panned across the room. "How long until they are ready to continue?" He grumbled continuing to assess the situation. But even the jaded old dragonborn couldn't keep a hint of pride from his voice as he gazed upon the young heroes who had risen to the challenge before them.<br>

I only caused more damage because the student's spells hit everyone else other than the intended target... </i><br>

 Noelle was still enjoying the fact she was able to break the stone. Then she noticed the big glassed boy that slipped past the bullies while she was distracting them as going to try the test. But things didn’t go so well and the boy accidentally summoned a demon. Chaos broke out and Noelle was lucky to not be hit by the demon’s initial rampage. What is she to do now? The demon was big and looked strong. Like hell, Noelle can deal with it at her current strength. But she had to do something, anything.<br>
 Noelle’s attention was drawn when a barrier was erected by Lady Eris. At this point, it was way too dangerous while the demon was still out there rampaging. So Noelle chooses her safety over trying to act like a hero. She quickly got inside the barrier and looked with bated breath at how the scene unfolded.<br>
<br>
 The teacher and several students had engaged with the demon. The time mage Noelle saw earlier at the test used a spell on the demon that, in her eyes, slightly displaced the beast which made some of the attacks other students miss their target and even hit each other. To make matters worse the demon unleashed another barrage of attacks It was painful to see this carnage. Seeing The raven-haired proctor starting to drag some of the injured students to the barrier Noelle knew what she could do to help. She slipped out of the barrier and also started to help drag injured students to the barrier. As far as she was able to at least.<br>
<br>
 In the end, Amanda, Lady Eris and that ridiculously strong fae girl were able to defeat the demon. A wave of relief has ashed through the hall. But this is just the beginning of the aftermath.<br>
 With the demon gone Noelle dared to go further from the barrier and reach the people closer to where the demon was. That was when she noticed Bartholomew who looked like he was in pain. <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"y-you okay?"</b></span> Noele said as she got closer to the second-year student. She winced seeing the half-melted face of the bully but she quickly regained her composure. <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"THAT LOOKS TERRIBLE!! Can you move!? If you can go to the teacher to get that treated as soon as possible!!"</b></span> She said to him before turning to his half-orc friend. <span style="color: #4876FF"><b>"You’re his friend, right? Make sure he gets to the teacher and other wounded to get treated. Use force if you have to. But get him there! You understand!? I will go and see if I can help others!"</b></span> She said forcefully to Ragnar before running away. Noelle did feel a bit intimidated by the two. Which was why she left the escorting of the mage over to his fighter friend. She hoped the two would have listened to her order. Even if he is a bully. No one deserves to suffer from such a wound.<br>
 It was then that Noelle knew what was about to happen. The euphoria of defeating the demon has resided. And now came the realisation of the damage that has been done to everyone. The dread and fear of seeing all who got hurt. All who got injured. To be honest. Noelle also felt a bit fearful of seeing all that hurt. She knew what she could do now. Noelle got her Lyre and started to play a <a href="https://youtu.be/HgeJDSUchWY?si=unHUAFOsiqXdUIvM" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FHgeJDSUchWY%3Fsi%3DunHUAFOsiqXdUIvM&amp;hash=ec572b09cc78d99c862242c71092613e" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">soothing tune</a>. She hoped that it would calm the minds of the people around so they could momentarily forget the carnage and focus on recovery.</div>

Amanda's thoughts raced as the aftermath of the battle settled around her. The demon, Volthor, had been banished, and the threat had been neutralized. As her initial adrenaline rush began to ebb, she found herself grappling with the implications of the encounter. The idea that this malevolent entity had claimed to be a god now seemed like nothing more than a deceitful ruse.<br>
<br>
She cast a weary yet satisfied glance at her companions. Their collective efforts had not only saved lives but had also exposed the demon's claims for the falsehoods they were. Amanda was content with the banishment of the so-called god and hoped that the academy could now return to its usual rhythm. Though given some of the proctor's reactions, perhaps this was normal.<br>
<br>
However, her relief was short-lived as the aftermath of the battle came into sharp focus. The damage caused by the demon's attacks was extensive, and Amanda's concern shifted to her fellow students who had been injured in the chaos. Seeing the extent of the harm inflicted, she realized that medical expertise was urgently needed.<br>
<br>
Upon seeing Eris stepping forward to tend to the injured students, Amanda recognized the priestess's divine healing abilities. Her own proficiency lay more in the realm of crafting and city planning, and she acknowledged that her skills were not suited for this situation. She set aside the enchanted metal slab, understanding that there were priorities beyond her immediate expertise.<br>
<br>
As her attention shifted to the unconscious Potter, Amanda couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. The boy's foolish use of forbidden magic had triggered this calamity, and Amanda knew that the consequences would be severe. Regardless of his fate, he had put lives in danger and tarnished the sanctity of the academy.<br>
<br>
Observing Dante's actions in tending to Potter, Amanda appreciated the tiefling's assistance and expertise in the magical arts. As he carried the unconscious boy within Eris's protective barrier, Amanda hoped that Potter would receive the necessary treatment. The implications of his actions were weighty, and Amanda understood that his future at the academy was uncertain at best.<br>
<br>
Turning her attention to Sir Braxus, Amanda found herself confronting another aspect of the aftermath. With a sigh, she approached the dragonborn warrior, the gravity of the situation apparent in her expression.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Sir Braxus,"</span> Amanda addressed him, her voice respectful but concerned. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Given the circumstances and the forbidden magic that Potter employed, what do you intend to do with him? Will he be held here or escorted to the capital for judgment? He has committed a taboo and as such the kingdom will undoubtidly call for his exile if not worse"</span> She knew that Sir Braxus's decision would likely carry significant consequences for Potter's future, and Amanda was curious to see how the academy would handle this complex situation. That being said, would the Dragonborn be so bold as to harbor a criminal in the presence of a baron's aid? <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">[Law Expert]</span></div></div>

She had half a mind to appraise it but considering it had taken less than a hay minute to fell, she decided against it. Certainly, it helped that the know-it-all had blown a hole in its armor with her magic, though she was uncertain it would have made much of a difference considering the creature had fallen to a single spear. Unceremoniously she bent down and picked up her spear, bones still shrieking in protest at her every movement. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'I might have overdone it a bit...'</span></i> As Thomas approached her and enveloped the area in a field that rewound wounds, she had the sudden feeling of nostalgia; the sensation of her wounds experiencing negative entropy, her lifeblood pooling about her in a way that seemed to cause the injury to flow backwards. <br>
<br>
The world seemed to melt away from her as she stood in the garden of her memory, just a child again, hands blistered and bleeding from hours of spear drills at the hands of Scathach, that madwoman they had hired to teach her the art of war. She had gone crying to an elder. Her father? No, more likely it had been her grandfather, but she got the feeling it was someone even older still. The odd sensation of her stomach turning upside-down as chronomancy reknit the flesh she had worn raw, restored neural bridges she had burned out via pure frustration. As she stood there, truly rejuvenated, she thanked the person before the memory left her, his name had been <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Dagda'</span></i><br>
<br>
She found herself still standing in the exam hall, the aftermath of the demon manifestation had slowly been dealt with. Music was playing, a gentle tune echoing against the walls of the building; her body still ached, the skin on her hands raw from harnessing all her might. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'I suppose Thomas is still new to the discipline, it'd be unreasonable to expect complete restoration.' </span></i>Thankfully, between Eris's healing and his she was mostly back in fighting shape. <br>
<br>
<b>"How long until they are ready to continue?" </b>The dragonkin's words brought her fully back to the present. She was eager to get these exams over with and enjoy a hot bath, something to soothe the aches away. Of course, things could not have been so easy, and the know-it-all started asking about the fate of the boy who had caused the incident, citing the reason as to why he should be<br>
exiled. It seemed a fairly lenient punishment, all things considered. Not that she would have blamed the boy, he didn't mean to summon the thing, probably. <i><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">'Then again, the Giant did say "summoned me again," so this had happened at least once before...' </span></i><br>
<br>
Crossing her arms, she closed her eyes and contemplated the situation, what would Lugh do? Ultimately, she decided she didn't care, and took out the parcel of food from breakfast, grabbing a piece of pemmican from it and popping it into her mouth. As she chewed, she could not help but notice Thomas was seemingly more dejected than usual. Considering he had helped jog her memory, the least she could do was try and return the favor. Taking out her tablet, she wrote down a few sentences and then put a consoling hand on his back.<br>
<br>
She showed him the tablet, which read, <i><span style="color: #808080">"Mighty mage or not, you can't just brute force everything. Sending the Giant into the future and sending its heart into the future both accomplish the deal with it, but one uses considerably less mana."</span></i><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">After it appeared that his spell had worked, Thomas releases it with a sigh, rubbing his temples due to an unforeseen headache which had just hit him. Echo looks much more healed now with his temporal restoration and Eris with her much better healing abilities. Strength doesn't happen right away, therefore he needs to do everything he can to gain the mastery he always dreamed of. Before he arrived to this area, he was living with his parents and practicing his current spells. Suddenly, he heard about a fire that had broken out in a nearby village. Thomas ran as fast as he could to get to this village in time but by then most of the carnage was already done. He saved as many villagers as he could, using time skip to send the villagers one hour into the future while everything was being cleaned up and the fires were being extinguished. But there were a lot of burnt corpses he was unable to help. It was his first time seeing such a brutal sight, and he fell to the ground screaming in pain, anguish and despair with tears falling down his face, mourning the loss of some villagers who had once been his very good friends. He stayed there for several hours wallowing in his weakness, vowing that something like this would never happen again.<br>
<br>
And yet, here he was in the school, something much the same having happened a few minutes ago. Thomas was somewhat emotional which was surprising for men in this world. But this time only silent tears fell from his face as he looked up to meet Echo's eyes, and just then saw her tablet with what she wrote on it. "Different... Body parts?" He hadn't thought about targeting different body parts before, and now that he has been told about it, he will remember that for sure to help in the next deadly fight when that day chose to arrive. He clasped Echo's hands and smiled, thanking her profusely. "That's brilliant! I will remember that, and someday I'll use what you have told me just now to save thousands of lives! And I'll tell them all about you and how amazing you are..." <i>Wait, did I really just say that out loud? </i>Thomas' face turns bright red, realizing he may have gone a tad too far. Everything just came spilling out of him in words about Echo which had been moving through his brain for some time now. He sheepishly lets go of her hands and laughs nervously, scratching his head randomly.<br>

<br>
Noelle's music helped to soothe the weary recruits. Not all wanted to continue. Some had failed both with the block and now succumbed to the onslaught of Volthor. Even if Thomas, Noelle, and especially Eris were able to restore their bodies, their mettle as adventures and seekers of lore and fortune had been tested. Some were found wanting. Thus from the original thirty, only twenty recruits remained. As the majority of the focus and effort was on helping and sorting out the students, few if any were paying attention to Amanda.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Sir Braxus,"</span> Amanda addressed him, her voice respectful but concerned. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Given the circumstances and the forbidden magic that Potter employed, what do you intend to do with him? Will he be held here or escorted to the capital for judgment? He has committed a taboo and as such the kingdom will undoubtidly call for his exile if not worse"</span> She knew that Sir Braxus's decision would likely carry significant consequences for Potter's future, and Amanda was curious to see how the academy would handle this complex situation. That being said, would the Dragonborn be so bold as to harbor a criminal in the presence of a baron's aid? <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">[Law Expert]</span><br>
<br>
Braxus turned his smoldering gaze on Amanda as the young mage questioned him about the summoner boy's fate. Smoke curled from his nostrils, a sign of building annoyance. Braxus drew himself up to his full imposing height, wings half unfurling. This upstart newcomer dared lecture him about protocol?<br>
<br>
"Another word, and I'll have you up before the disciplinary committee for interfering with academy affairs," he growled. "This is your only warning, recruit. Professors do not answer to students. Know your place and shut your mouth before you find yourself expelled before your first day of class."<br>
<br>
His tone brooked no argument. Meddling in administrative matters had earned Amanda a firm reprimand. Like any dragon, Braxus's pride was not to be trifled with, even by well-meaning youths.<br>
<br>
He walked over to Bartholomew after Eris's magic had healed his face. "Had enough for today?"<br>
<br>
"No, Sir Braxus. I am happy to continue." Bartholomew seethed as he observed the first-years receiving praise and congratulations after the battle. <i>It was so unfair! He had worked for years to gain status at the academy through bullying and displays of power. Yet these newcomers waltzed in and immediately outshone him, without even trying! The smug looks on their faces as they embraced and laughed together made Bartholomew's blood boil. That ridiculous mermaid Noelle slipping past him with her trickery. The haughty know-it-all Amanda daring to lecture a professor on protocol. And worst of all, the scrawny time mage Thomas showing off such flashy magic and acting the hero.</i><br>
<br>
Bartholomew scowled and rubbed his healed cheek.<i> He could still feel the sting of his warped, gangrenous face before the healers tended to him. Curse that demon for marring his flawless features! Though the flesh wound was repaired, Bartholomew's ego had taken a severe bruising this day.<br>
<br>
These first-years needed to be taught a lesson in respecting their elders. Bartholomew vowed he would find a way to get back at them for this humiliation. Perhaps an "accidental" potions mishap in class? Or he could whisper vicious rumors to undermine their social standing. Oh, the agonizing trials he would put them through once classes started!<br>
<br>
For now, he bit his tongue, not wanting to anger Braxus further. But his resentment simmered below the surface as he plotted petty schemes of revenge. No upstart runts would shown him up for long - he would make their lives at the academy utterly miserable if it was the last thing he did!</i><br>
<br>
<hr><br>
After dismissing Amanda, Sir Braxus strode over to where the unconscious Potter was being tended by Dante and the other professors. The summoner's wounds had been healed, but he remained unresponsive.<br>
<br>
"How is the fool?" Braxus rumbled, peering down at Potter's pale face.<br>
<br>
Dante shook his head. "Alive, but whatever backlash that demon unleashed has sent his mind far away. I've tried every reviving enchantment short of resurrection."<br>
<br>
The tiefling warlock sighed, running a hand through his white hair. "Reckless rituals - they always end in catastrophe. We'll be lucky if he wakes at all, if ever or if he is at all sane."<br>
<br>
Braxus snorted, smoke streaming from his nostrils. "Many lessons for the recruits today." His tone was stern, but not entirely devoid of sympathy. Even reckless youths did not fully deserve such grim fates.<br>
<br>
"Send him to the infirmary and let the Headmaster sort it out." Braxus clasped Dante's shoulder firmly before moving to address the weary but triumphant students.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
As the chaos died down, Braxus called the weary but satisfied students to gather round.<br>
<br>
"You've all shown spirit and skill today, initiates. But your trials are not over yet." The old dragonborn's voice rumbled through the hall. At a gesture, the remaining student proctors began handing out puzzling contraptions - slender metal boxes with intricate rune locks.<br>
<br>
"Inside each is a gossamer cocoon, spun by the rare Twilight Gem butterflies," Braxus explained. "But beware - some may carry a vile Ignoble Hell Fly parasite." His lip curled in distaste.<br>
<br>
"Work in groups of four. Unlock the puzzle box and inspect the cocoon within. Resolve any infested before they are consumed in hellish fire. Aid the rest so the Gem may emerge unharmed. Let's see if you have the wisdom to know the difference."<br>
<br>
As the initiates formed their teams, the proctors distributed the mystical containers. Each was decorated with delicate celestial motifs and hummed with latent magic. Just handling them seemed to impart a sense of their importance.<br>
<br>
The initiates bent their heads together, studying the intricate locks and debating approaches in hushed voices. All were aware of the precious cargo within, and the dire consequences of making the wrong choice. Soft chimes and clicks echoed around the hall as they began manipulating the sliding puzzle boxes.<br>
<br>
This trial would test their powers of deduction, observation, and care in equal measure. And the fate of a rare, invaluable magical creature rested on their success...<br>
<br>
OOC: For the third and final challenge of the entrance exam, you need to form a "party of four" that balances out your skills and abilities. Then you will need to solve seven challenges:<br>
Here are 7 potential challenges related to the cocoon puzzle trial, with difficulty levels:<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Deciphering the Rune Lock (Difficulty: 6). <i>Figuring out how to properly align the mystical runes to unlock the box. Requires magical aptitude, intellect, and pattern recognition.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Handling the Delicate Cocoon (Difficulty: 5). <i>Removing the cocoon without damaging the precious silk. Needs a gentle touch and care in manipulation.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Detecting Parasite Signs (Difficulty: 7). <i>Identifying subtle visual or auditory cues that signal an Ignoble Hell Fly infestation. Hard to spot - may require multiple perceptions.</i><ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><i>Success 1: IF 1+ party members team up and hit the difficulty you pass and are able to move to the next step. </i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><i>Success 2: IF your party is able to get a success twice, then you gain an "insight". Insights can either: </i><ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><i>(a) lower the difficulty of a subsequent task by the amount the difficulty is exceeded. 7 = +1; 8 = +2; 9 = +3. OR</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><i>(b) change the nature of subsequent challenge by figuring out some unique dimension of it that wasn't previously realized, which is like a player introduced "twist". </i></li>
</ol></li>
</ol></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Purifying Corrupted Cocoons (Difficulty: 8). <i>Using spells or alchemical concoctions to cleanse infected cocoons without destroying them. Very challenging blend of skills.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Coaxing an Emergence (Difficulty: 6). <i>Guiding a healthy butterfly out of its cocoon without disturbing the silk. Requires patience and a nurturing approach.</i></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">If you fail:<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Fending Off Hell Flies (Difficulty: 7 x2). <i>Battling a swarm of angry parasites if incorrectly aids an infested cocoon. Combat ability and area attacks helpful.</i></li>
</ol></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Preserving the Cocoon (Difficulty: 5). <i>Keeping the intact cocoon in good condition after the butterfly emerges for harvest. Just needs care when handling.</i></li>
</ol>You are free to describe how you do it and narrate your success if you are able to accomplish this as a group. Good luck!</div>

Amanda was taken aback by the intensity of Sir Braxus's response. The dragonborn warrior's warning was stern and unyielding, making it clear that questioning his authority in this matter was not to be tolerated.She swallowed her concerns and nodded, understanding that her inquiry had crossed a line. Amanda had sought clarification, not confrontation, and she now realized that challenging a senior professor's decision was not a wise course of action. She had much to learn about the academy's hierarchy and protocols.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"I apologize, Sir Braxus,"</span> Amanda replied, her tone respectful and contrite. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"I meant no disrespect. I will heed your counsel and defer to the academy's procedures." </span>She lowered her gaze, acknowledging her error in judgment.<br>
<br>
With that, Amanda stepped back, allowing the academy's staff to handle the aftermath of the chaotic exam. Her focus had been on ensuring that the situation was addressed appropriately, but now she understood that she needed to trust in the academy's established procedures and the wisdom of its professors. She resolved to learn from this experience and approach such matters with greater caution in the future.<br>
<br>
That being said, she did gain a valuable glimpse of insight into Sir Braxus and the academy at large. Her question and the subsequent result had made clear the academy was far more shady than Amanda originally thought. Did the count know of this? Clearly, this wasn't the first time forbidden magic had been used on campus. That combined with the store of artifacts the academy held within its walls left Amanda quite curious as to just how much leeway the Academy really had and by extension The Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken.<br>
<br>
A notion she would be sure to research later. Given she wouldn't be having classes anyway.<br>
<br>
But now with the weight of the aftermath now solely on the academy's shoulders, Amanda was free to relax and catch her breath before the next exam.<br>
<hr>Amanda listened attentively to Sir Braxus's instructions, her earlier encounter with the chaotic summoning fresh in her mind. This new trial, involving delicate butterfly cocoons and the potential for parasitic infestations, intrigued her. It was another test of their abilities and decision-making, a challenge she was ready to face.<br>
<br>
As the puzzle boxes were distributed, Amanda joined a group with Noelle, Echo, and Thomas. She was familiar with Noelle from their earlier encounter, and Echo and Thomas had shown their prowess during the earlier confrontation with the demon. With the box in front of them, Amanda examined the intricate locks and listened to her teammates' thoughts on how to approach the task. She shared her own insights, suggesting they start by unlocking the box and looking for any clues that might reveal whether a cocoon was infested.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"We should be methodical,"</span> Amanda suggested. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"First, let's identify the runes and their significance. Then, we can examine the cocoons carefully, looking for any signs of the Gem or any abnormalities. If we're unsure about the cocoon, we should isolate it until we're certain. Safety first."</span><br>
<br>
She took a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the puzzle box before she began working on unlocking it. Her nimble fingers moved with nimble precision as she attempted to decipher the runes and open the container. Amanda was determined to approach this challenge with the same meticulous care she applied to her own tinkering and engineering work. That being said this little trinket was nothing compared to the fowl enigma she had previously decoded alongside Noelle. In fact, it was rather anticlimactic how easily the mechanism was solved but then again this was a class orientated around adventurers for the most part. What was she to expect as a crafter? <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">[10,000 Hours? Rookie Numbers! (F)]</span><br>
<br>
Within a few moments, the box was opened and the cocoon was revealed for the group to see. <br>
<br>
With utmost care, Amanda reached inside the box, her fingers trembling slightly with anticipation. She cradled the cocoon delicately, ensuring not to apply any unnecessary pressure. It was a fragile thing, and she had no intention of harming the precious creature within.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> [A Crafters Touch (E)]</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Got it,"</span> she whispered to her team, her eyes focused on the cocoon. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Now, let's examine it closely to make sure it's safe."</span> Amanda turned her attention to the cocoon, inspecting it for any signs of infestation or abnormalities, all the while keeping her touch gentle and cautious. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">[A Gamer's 6th Sense (D)]</span> <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Thomas watches with silent wonder how Amanda seemingly flawlessly completes the first three puzzles. This girl is quite knowledgeable, maybe he could learn some things from her in his pursuit to become a strong chronomancer. He tries to not let his wonder show on his face, so he puts his mind to figuring out how the fourth step is solved. Purification isn't his expertise at all, but maybe temporal restoration would do something useful. If not, and a swarm ends up attacking, he has time warp to get rid of five hell flies temporarily. <i>WAIT! Echo was saying I could target things other than the whole enemy, in which case I wouldn't need to send the entire form of the flies. Okay, that's the plan if this doesn't work. </i><br>
<br>
Thomas uses [Temporal Restoration] on the cocoon purely as an experimental move to see what would happen. Once again, the shimmery green color of his time magic flows out from his hands in a 15 foot radius. He knows healing doesn't count as purification, but maybe if it's combined with something else it would work. "I don't know if this will work, but anyone else can jump in if they have an idea of how to purify the cocoon. My temporal restoration by itself isn't purification, it only heals small cuts and bruises. I'm sure we can pull this off without a hitch, we've got the right people around for it to work. I can keep this up for a good amount of time." <br>

If she weren't mute, it might have made her laugh.<br>
<br>
The exam continued, that know-it-all having received a stern talking to from the dragonkin, and the entrants were divided into groups of four. It went without saying that her and Thomas would be half the team, and the other half ended up being an aquatic and the know-it-all; still though, she supposed if one had to put up with a know-it-all, there was no better time to do so.<br>
<br>
She had no notion of operating the puzzle box herself, walking in a straight line was a difficult enough feat at times, she was certain to break something delicate if she were given the item. Instead, she watched with Thomas in wonder as Amanda deftly twisted and turned the mechanisms of the box until it had unraveled itself and revealed the chrysalis inside. Woefully out of her depth when it came to matters of subtlety such as this, Echo simply watched with keen interest, activating her <span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 128)">Balor's Eye</span> and doing her best to assist Amanda in ascertaining the quality of the cocoon.<br>
<br>
Her spear was held loosely in a reverse grip. Ignoble Hell Parasites were unknown to her, but the name left little to the imagination and she was sure to get a kick out of spearing them out of the air, if all else failed.<br>

Eris sighed in relief as the evil god was put down; looking around at the chaos, she saw the mute fae girl she had met at Tripoint. She was curious about that spear, though it seemed to come at a cost to her, at least by the looks of it. She then shifted her gaze toward the student who had caused the whole situation, though he seemed to be getting tended to, so she didn't see the need to rush over and figure out what was happening. From where she was standing, the whole incident was due to the student's inability to control their summoning, though the summon he picked wasn't the best one to use in this situation. <br>
<br>
She didn't want to be the one to deal with the boy's actions, so she felt it was best to allow the full-time staff deal with the situation as Amanda talked to Sir Braxus, Eris focused her attention on the two. She agreed with Amanda, though the professor also did have a point shouting what the law required didn't matter in this situation. But at the same time how Braxus responded was uncalled for in her opinion. Something she would bring up at a later date but, the examination had to go on and it seemed like they were eager for the next test. When Eris was confident that most of the injured had their wounds healed to the best of the magic she was currently using she dropped her barrier as the light disappeared. <br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">I wonder what the next test will be? However, I think I will take a little more of an alert stance based on that last test. </span></i><span style="color: null">Eris thought to herself as she joined Sir Braxus as he explained the next part of the exam. To which Eris cocked an eyebrow as the test was explained to the group. Her eyes scanned over the group of students as she was curious to see who was going to form up with whom. She figured this was a test of character and problem-solving. But who was going to solve the puzzle first? That was the million-dollar question. </span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><i>So she seems to be taking charge now that is interesting, though will the others listen? </i></span>Eris thought to herself resting her gaze on Amanda watching from afar.</div>

<article class="message-body js-selectToQuote">
			
				
			

			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">The player characters Amanda, Thomas, Echo, and Noelle formed one of the quads for the cocoon challenge. The other groups consisted of:<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rowan, Iris, Hazel &amp; Jade: These elf siblings and cousins worked seamlessly together, combining their natural attunement to nature with advanced magic.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Damien, Cassius, Octavia &amp; Lilith: Four intimidating tiefling youths who used their infernal gifts to spot occult dangers.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cedric, Neville, Luna &amp; Cho: Eccentric outcasts who saw things differently, for better or worse. Luna's intuitions were uncanny, but so were her eyes which looked like two full moons.  </li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Godric, Helga, Rowena &amp; Salazar: Prodigies from the upper crust of Ryke who accomplished much when working together. Salazar seemed to have little patience for the others.</li>
</ul>The other quads set to work inspecting their puzzle boxes and cocoons, conversing in hushed tones. The vaulted hall was filled with the soft sounds of sliding runes, muted clicks, and the occasional excited "Aha!" as groups deciphered their locks.<br>
<br>
As Amanda's group swiftly unlocked their puzzle box and extracted the cocoon, murmurs rippled through the hall. The other students couldn't help but take notice as Amanda moved through the initial steps with seemingly effortless skill.<br>
<br>
At one table, the tiefling quad stared stone-faced, refusing to show any reaction. Though perhaps irked at being upstaged, they remained focused on their own puzzle. <br>
<br>
The elf siblings smiled and gave nods of acknowledgement at Amanda's feat. "Well done!" Iris said warmly. They continued trying to coax their own box open through songs and spells.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the eccentric group containing Luna completely ignored the happenings around them, too engrossed in their attempt to dismantle the entire puzzle. "If we take it apart piece by piece, the cocoon is sure to emerge," Luna declared dreamily. <br>
<br>
The rich, noble class group seemed torn between admiration and envy. "Hmph, I should have recruited Amanda," Salazar muttered under his breath, even as the others congratulated Amanda's team.<br>
<br>
Most dramatic was the quartet containing the bombastic Godric. In his enthusiasm, Godric had accidentally cracked their puzzle box, eliciting groans from his teammates. "Gads! Our box is damaged thanks to my oafish blunder," Godric lamented. "We shall have to acquire another and learn from the diligent example set by Amanda's group!" <br>
<br>
To which, Salazar shouted, "You idiot, there aren't any more boxes. It's not like we go back in time and-" Salazar paused, looking towards Thomas. He gathered up the box and walked towards Thomas, "I know we are rivals, but would you do me a solid favor and rewind time like you do?" He paused, watching Amanda lift out the cocoon and hand it to the rest of her group. "I'll wait." He sighed as Thomas and Echo went to work. <br>
<br>
As Amanda carefully inspected the unwrapped cocoon, Thomas channeled his temporal magic over it, watching for any signs of change. Meanwhile, Echo focused her preternatural senses, peering intently for any abnormalities. <br>
<br>
At first, nothing seemed amiss with the cocoon's smooth, glimmering surface. But under their combined scrutiny, faint discrepancies became apparent. Strange shadowy markings marred one side, and an ominous faint hissing emanated from within. It was subtle but something was inside. A rasping, almost like many small wings fluttering. And the silk seemed...tainted, somehow.  By joining their talents, Thomas and Echo had uncovered clear evidence of an Ignoble Hell Fly infestation. <br>
<br>
<hr><br>
At the next table over, the intimidating tiefling quad was swiftly gaining ground on Amanda's team. Damien's innate infernal magic made short work of deciphering the runes, while Lilith handled the cocoon with unexpected care. Cassius and Octavia soon confirmed signs of corruption through eerie chants.<br>
<br>
Emboldened by their early successes, the tieflings decided to attempt purifying the cocoon rather than burning it outright. But their skills at cleansing rituals fell short. As Damien gingerly helped the cocoon open, a swarm of furious Hell Flies erupted forth!<br>
<br>
Chaos erupted at the tieflings' table. The ravenous parasites immediately set upon the startled students, biting and stinging viciously. Octavia shrieked as the hellish insects tangled in her long hair. Cassius swatted desperately at the cloud, but the flies evaded his clumsy blows.<br>
<br>
Lilith responded quickly, conjuring a burst of eldritch fire to incinerate several of the nasty bugs. "We've got to contain them before they spread!" she yelled over the angry buzzing. <br>
<br>
But more flies continued forcing their way from the splitting cocoon. Soon the tieflings were surrounded by a whirling vortex of snapping jaws and lashing stingers. Their earlier confidence had led them to disaster! Now they struggled just to survive the frenzied insectoid onslaught.<br>
<br>
The other students looked on in dismay, heeding this stark warning about acting rashly before confirming their choices. Pausing to confer could make all the difference between success and calamity.<br>
<br>
Just when it seemed the situation couldn't get worse for the embattled tieflings, it took a truly gruesome turn. The vicious Hell Flies began burrowing directly into their flesh, implanting writhing maggots beneath their skin!<br>
<br>
Cassius howled as one of the gleaming white grubs emerged from a bloody hole in his forearm. He clawed frantically at the wound, trying to extract the horror, but it had already burrowed deep into his tissues. More larvae could be seen squirming under his skin, migrating through his muscles.<br>
<br>
Octavia collapsed to her knees, gagging as maggots pushed up under the surface of her neck. Tears streamed from her eyes at the nightmarish infestation. "Get them out of me!" she pleaded to no avail, as the things had already taken up residence inside her.<br>
<br>
Seeing two of their own already overwhelmed by the parasitic invasion, Damien and Lilith redoubled their mystical counterattacks. Lilith immolated a whole section of her robes that had become covered in the wriggling menaces. Damien summoned a banishing rune that dissolved several flies into acrid smoke. But the reprieve was short-lived.<br>
<br>
The rapacious Hell Flies had found fertile living hosts in the tieflings' bodies. Soon, the tiny white grubs were streaming from multiple entry wounds, a nightmarish flow of squirming maggots. The tieflings' screams of revulsion and agony echoed through the hall as the parasites claimed them.<br>
<br>
Several of the other quads just stared on in horror! <br>
<br>
Sir Braxus stoically watched the chaos unfold like a statue, unmoving and aloof. <br>

Optionally, you can help with the horrible Hell Fly infestation unless <a href="/members/saxon.96608/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="96608" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId88">

 decides to intervene. That's up to Eris. If other players want to help you can, but you'd use up one of your remaining actions. Since Amanda is done and perhaps bored, I'll let her contribute an action towards helping if she wants. <br>
<br>
Also, <a href="/members/darkbloom.94186/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="94186" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId90">

 can help out the group of rich, Nobles by turning back time with the time domain, but watch your available actions! You only have 2 left. Amanda could potentially offer some guidance or hints.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">He heard a lot of things mentioned about Amanda, not being particularly surprised because he had watched her solve the first three puzzles. Yes, everyone on his team was lucky to have her assistance, since he also wasn't sure how he would've began. While Thomas was attempting to use temporal restoration on the cocoon, one of the students on the other team walked up to him with a cocoon. <br>

			To which, Salazar shouted, "You idiot, there aren't any more boxes. It's not like we go back in time and-" Salazar paused, looking towards Thomas. He gathered up the box and walked towards Thomas, "I know we are rivals, but would you do me a solid favor and rewind time like you do?" He paused, watching Amanda lift out the cocoon and hand it to the rest of her group. "I'll wait." He sighed as Thomas and Echo went to work.

He was temporarily speechless. Rival...? When did that happen? If Thomas had a free hand to scratch his head he would. Before he could reply though, there was some panic over at the tiefling's table. He looked to see what was happening, hearing the sound of the hissing from that table's cocoon. Shortly after that, all hell flies broke loose, swarming around the tieflings and causing a most unsettling sight. Thomas felt his domain itching to be used, so to stop the events at the tiefling table he uses [Domain - Time]. A large green, shimmery clock appears in the space above everyone. The clock hands start rotating slowly backwards and speed up as time is reversed to Thomas' desired stopping point, which is about a minute before the cocoon erupts. The time domain clock disappears as time is restored to a previous  point. Thomas can see the black spots starting to appear on their cocoon. He shouts over to the tieflings, "BURN IT! YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO PURIFY THE COCOON! Trust me, this is for all your sakes!" Thomas cries, hoping his expression looks urgent and pleading enough to change the mind of the tieflings to burn the cocoon instead of attempting to purify it. <br>

 The healing was a success. Partially thanks to Noelle’s music. Or she makes herself believe. Still several of the candidates had decided to quit after the first two tests. A bummer. But something that was to be expected. An encounter with such a demon is a test of someone's morale. <br>
 Although she was occupied with playing the music for now Noelle did notice that Sir Braxus seemed to be dissatisfied with Amanda. Unaware of the girl’s disrespect towards the teacher’s authority. It made her worried. It would be bad if she lost the currently only familiar person she knew here.<br>
 When the tests were ready to continue Noelle listened diligently to what the teacher had to say. The next test was to help a butterfly in the puzzle box emerge from its cocoon and not turn into some hellish pest. Noelle has grouped up with Amanda, the strong fae and the time mage. Not a bad team.<br>
 It was amazing to see how fast Amanda was able to open the lockbox revealing the cocoon inside. Noelle wanted to help with examining the cocoon for any infections together with Amanda and Echo. She could listen if anything sounded out of order like she tried with the enigma before. Then she got a spring of inspiration. She vaguely remembered that one could send high-frequency sound into something and then listen to the echo of it to find things inside of the object without the need to physically disturb it. It was worth a shot. Noelle focused on the cocoon, raised her lyre and pulled string unleashing her [So-nar] at the cocoon. a high-pitched note was sent towards the cocoon while Noelle closed her eyes and listened in the hope she could hear something from the cocoon to identify if something was wrong or not.</div>

As Amanda's classmates offered their kind words and expressions of admiration, her face would break into a faint but genuine smile. It wasn't in her nature to seek the spotlight or bask in praise, but the camaraderie and acknowledgment from her peers were undoubtedly heartening.<br>
<br>
She'd give a nod of gratitude, her eyes briefly meeting those of her classmates as a sign of appreciation for their encouragement.<br>
<br>
Amanda then took a moment to refocus the group's attention on the task at hand, emphasizing the importance of cooperation and efficiency in solving the puzzle boxes and ensuring the safety of the Twilight Gem butterflies. Ensurance that very likely had just saved her group from a gruesome faith as was apparent given the sudden outburst of screaming.<br>
<br>
Indeed the situation had escalated into a horrifying ordeal as the Hell Flies burrowed into the tiefling quad's bodies, causing excruciating pain and chaos. While other students watched in shock and fear, Amanda's group had uncovered a different kind of infestation within their own cocoon - a chilling sign that their initial impression had been incorrect.<br>
<br>
Amanda knew that swift action was required. Ignoble Hell Flies were not to be underestimated, and she had to prevent their spread. She turned to her teammates, a sense of urgency in her voice.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"We've got an infested cocoon here,"</span> Amanda warned her group. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Here, Let me help you Echo and Noelle, try and pinpoint the core of the infection so Thomas can better deal with it."</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Thomas couldn't rewind time yet. His domain was time but time was a higher truth that was like grasping handfuls of sand. It was possible to grab but hard to hold and impossible to do much with. While he fails to rewind time in the way he'd hoped, nevertheless Thomas is able to affect the flies by entangling their current state with their past state. It was something akin to a combination of mind control and nullification in a way that caused the flies to think they were once more within the cocoon waiting to emerge. With some quick work and teamwork, the tiefling group was able to get the infestation under control. However, the flies had ruined the cocoon and Sir Praxis deemed them failures. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Salazar watched Thomas' time manipulation with interest in his eyes. Although Thomas tried to use his time reversal magics on the broken box, it didn't seem to work. Perhaps the intricies were too much for Thomas' current proficiency. Still Thomas gained some insights into the nature of time and its flows. However, Salazar was less then pleased that this Hail Mary hadn't worked. "Pity," Salazar said, leaving Thomas. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile, with Noelle's help and Amanda's support, the trio with Echo were able to not only detect new and unusual characteristics of the parasitic Hell Flies within the cocoon but even identify new and unusual ways Thomas might purify. the corrupted cocoon. Indeed, it was with his partial successes and failures that Thomas understood how to isolate and paralyze the as yet immature Hell Flies within the cocoon.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As hard as Thomas had tried to rewind time, it didn't work. However, there was another interesting effect that happened. In the eyes of Thomas it appeared as if the flies believed nothing had happened yet. His head was hurting from the effort of controlling time the way he imagined, but it seems the tieflings are all right. Thomas gave a sigh of relief as he turned to Salazar to try rewinding time on his cocoon but no such luck. The magic surrounding the cocoon was much too complex for him to begin understanding, which he found quite intriguing. Even though things haven't been going the way he wanted, some semblance of understanding was beginning to form in his mind as the magic of time was touching his fingertips and then quickly escaping like trying to hold fistfuls of sand. This will require a lot more study in the future at the academy. But then his outing with Echo came to mind, and he turns to look in her direction. After the cocoon has been successfully purified he goes to stand or sit next to her. "Hey, that first test was crazy wasn't it?" Nervous laughter escapes his lips unintentionally as his close proximity to her is affecting his ability to think straight. "By the way, I think a trip into the city sounds amazing, especially with you!" He quickly looks away, embarrassed and bashful by his straight-forwardness. Maybe the presence of that rude, uncouth proctor was urging him on to win over Echo as soon as he can. Although Thomas preferred a slow process, some guys won't give him that chance. Alas, the team still has two more challenges to complete. Thomas makes a mental note to find and talk to the tieflings and Salazar later. He looks at Noelle, who has the quite impressive music magic. "Hey, I think you would be the best for this next part. You can use your instrument and if you want, your voice to coax the butterfly's emergence."<br>

The chamber was abuzz with a mixture of tension and anticipation as Amanda's group neared the culmination of their efforts. The delicate gossamer cocoon lay before them, bathed in a soft, otherworldly glow. It was a testament to the Twilight Gem butterfly's exquisite craftsmanship. But beneath its fragile exterior, the subtle hum of magic hinted at the mysteries it held within.<br>
<br>
Amanda approached the cocoon with reverence, her nimble fingers trembling ever so slightly with a blend of excitement and caution. The eyes of her teammates and the surrounding students were fixed on her as she prepared to unlock the cocoon's secrets.<br>
<br>
Amanda's hands delicately hovered over the cocoon. Her fingertips barely made contact with the luminescent silk.<br>
<br>
Her first task was to determine the condition of the butterfly within. With the touch of a gloved finger, she lightly tapped the cocoon, eliciting a faint, melodic chime that resonated through the room. The sound reverberated with the essence of the Twilight Gem butterfly, its presence within the cocoon confirmed.<br>
<br>
A soft, inquisitive hum escaped her lips as she carefully inspected the cocoon, searching for any irregularities or signs of distress. Her trained eye discerned the delicate patterns and gradients in the silken structure, as if reading the butterfly's life story etched into the fabric.<br>
<br>
With gentle, measured movements, Amanda then began to manipulate the cocoon's surface. Her fingertips traced the minuscule runes etched into the silk, deciphering their purpose. Each rune represented a layer of enchantment, a safeguard designed to protect the precious inhabitant within. As her gloved fingers danced over the runes, she whispered words of encouragement to the butterfly within, as though sharing a silent conversation. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">[10,000 Hours? Rookie Numbers! (F)]</span><br>
<br>
The first layer unfurled like a delicate petal, revealing the inner sanctum of the cocoon. Inside, the Twilight Gem butterfly shimmered with ethereal radiance, its wings adorned with iridescent patterns that seemed to shift and change with every passing second. It was a sight to behold, a living work of art forged by nature's magic.<br>
<br>
Amanda's hands continued their precise dance as she coaxed the butterfly further from its cocoon. She spoke soothingly, her voice a soft, melodic cadence that echoed through the chamber. The enchantments responded to her guidance, allowing the butterfly to emerge gracefully, its fragile form bathed in the soft, radiant glow of the cocoon.<br>
<br>
As the butterfly unfurled its wings, a sense of wonder filled the room. It hovered in the air for a moment, its translucent wings catching the ambient light. The delicate creature was a symbol of beauty, resilience, and the intricate balance of nature's wonders.<br>
<br>
Amanda extended her gloved hand, her heart filled with reverence for the Twilight Gem butterfly. With a gentle, open palm, she offered the creature a choice – to return to the cocoon or to venture forth into the world beyond. It was a moment of mutual understanding, a silent contract between human and butterfly.<br>
<br>
For a heartbeat, the butterfly hesitated, its iridescent wings quivering in the air. Then, as if acknowledging Amanda's respect, it alighted on her outstretched hand. The sensation of its touch was a whisper of enchantment, a connection forged between two beings.<br>
<br>
With utmost care, Amanda cradled the butterfly, her gloved fingers barely brushing its fragile form. She marveled at its iridescent wings, the delicate veins that carried the essence of magic, and the ethereal patterns that seemed to dance with life.<br>
<br>
With the butterfly now safe, Amanda's attention turned to the delicate cocoon left behind. The intricate patterns on the cocoon seemed to shimmer with a subtle, otherworldly light, a testament to the Twilight Gem butterfly's ethereal nature.<br>
<br>
Gently, she reached for the cocoon, her fingertips barely making contact with the surface. Amanda knew that even the slightest disturbance could disrupt the fragile structure, and she proceeded with utmost caution. Her hands, which had deftly handled spells and mechanisms, now moved with a tenderness reserved for the most delicate of treasures. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">[A Crafters Touch (E)]</span><br>
<br>
As her fingers closed around the cocoon, Amanda could feel its smooth, cool texture. It was as if she held a piece of pure magic in her hands, a testament to the natural world's capacity for wonder. The cocoon responded to her touch, emitting a soft, melodious hum, a harmonious resonance that seemed to echo through the hall.<br>
<br>
With great care, Amanda lifted the cocoon from its resting place and placed it on a small, velvet-lined tray that had been prepared. The tray provided a stable and secure surface, ensuring that the cocoon would remain undisturbed during its journey. It was an object of rare beauty, a testament to the intricate design of nature itself.<br>
<br>
Amanda took a moment to study the cocoon, admiring its intricate patterns and the delicate shades of color that adorned its surface. It was a work of art crafted by the butterfly over the course of its metamorphosis, a masterpiece of nature's design.<br>
<br>
As she prepared to store the cocoon safely for further study, Amanda couldn't help but feel a deep sense of reverence. In this moment, she was not just a mage or an artificer; she was a guardian of nature's wonders, entrusted with the care of a rare and precious gift.<br>
<br>
Turning to her team she offered them a smile and then announced loudly so as to catch one of the proctor's attention <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"That's all the tasks complete. Well done everyone!"</span><br>

Eris watched the groups from afar as she didn't want to intervene with their processes. She took particular note of Amanda who seemed to be the group's brains and main pivot point. Leaning forward a bit as she rested her weight against her quarterstaff. <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">While it's encouraged to work together, there is a point that you need someone too much, especially as an adventurer that could be dangerous. </span></i><span style="color: null">She thought to herself, letting out a small sigh though she couldn't argue with the results. Closing her eyes she thought for a moment if she was just going to let it go and let them learn it another time or not. <br>
<br>
Taking a few steps forward, brought her hand up to her mouth and cleared her throat. </span><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. As an adventurer you must face many challenges alone. Seek comfort in the joys that companions bring you. But...But do not forget that there will be times when you must complete something alone. Enjoy the time you have with your fellow students but do not neglect your own strengths. You will not always have them and when you don't have them even in the darkest of times seek the light in the darkness," </span>Eris concluded as she looked at each of the students and used Appraisal D on Amanda.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As the exam continued, the varied fortunes of the student groups illustrated the importance of caution, preparation, and teamwork.<br>
<br>
Despite their initial confidence, the tieflings' reckless mistake left them overrun by the voracious Hell Flies. They would bear the horrific scars of this failure for some time.<br>
<br>
The eccentric group of outcasts fared little better. In dismantling their puzzle box completely, they had irreparably damaged the priceless cocoon within. Luna insisted they could still communicate with its essence, but the practical objective had been lost.<br>
<br>
The elf siblings managed to successfully aid the emergence of a Gem butterfly from their cocoon through their attunement to nature. However, their delicate handling damaged the precious silk, preventing them from harvesting it properly.<br>
<br>
And the damaged box proved too great an obstacle for Godric's noble class group to overcome, despite Salazar's pleas to Thomas. In the end, no cocoon emerged from their fractured container at all.<br>
<br>
Of all the students, Amanda's team performed the best. Through care, skill, and teamwork they opened the puzzle box unharmed, correctly diagnosed an infested cocoon, purified it, and extracted the intact silk after the butterfly emerged.<br>
<br>
When Braxus surveyed their unblemished work, even his stony demeanor was impressed. "Not horrible at all," he rumbled. "You may lack experience, but you've kept level heads under pressure and worked together. That will serve you well if you aim to become heroes."<br>
<br>
Likewise, Sir Braxus approached Eris, "Check on the ones we want to keep on, send the others to the infirmary. Lead the chosen to the <br>
<br>
For Amanda, Thomas, Echo and Noelle, surviving the harrowing events of the exam was another step forward in their journey. They had proven their worth to the academy, and to each other. Many trials still awaited, but together they had the potential for greatness.<br>
<br>
--- <br>
<br>
The vaulted Feasting Hall of Champions had been transformed for the closing ceremony. Small circular tables dotted the grand space, lit by the flickering glow of candlelight. The heavy silence felt somber compared to the excitement of that morning.<br>
<br>
Clearly, the day's trials had whittled the crowds down considerably. Only about a third of the newcomers remained of the hundreds hopefuls who had arrived in the morning. Some nursed bandaged wounds, while others simply looked drained from the ordeals faced.<br>
<br>
At the head table, Headmaster Iando Starseeker rose solemnly. His silver hair shone in the candlelight as he delivered a short welcome speech to those remaining.<br>
<br>
"You have all shown courage and persistence today," he intoned. "The path of the hero is never easy. Take pride that you have passed the first of many tests."<br>
<br>
The headmaster went on to describe dormitories available on campus, arrangements at local inns, and other mundane details for new students. But his words felt distant. The heavy weight of the day's events still hung over the hall. Indeed, he spent an inordinate amount of time talking about the incredible lore contained in the Museum of Lore and Legends and invited the chosen to spend the afternoon walking through to see what great things laid ahead. <br>
<br>
Whispered conversations confirmed that the battle with the demon Volthor had been an unusual trial, even by this academy's standards. Some counted themselves lucky to have arrived after that incident.<br>
<br>
Finally, meal platters appeared on the tables via enchantment. But the new students picked at their food, too weary to have much appetite. The adrenaline had faded, leaving them numb and thoughtful.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow their classes and training would begin in earnest. But tonight, rest and reflection were needed to process everything they had endured thus far. The road ahead promised more challenges...yet for those remaining, the first steps had been conquered.<br>
<br>
Thomas, Noelle, and Echo were free to celebrate that night and had accomplished their goals of sticking together and learning more about their skills. They were now official students of the Academy! Of course, they'd have to pay for tuition either their assets they had or by taking on the odd F-grade tasks the Academy regularly put out. <br>
<br>
Likewise, Eris had done well and would always be welcomed to teach classes or help proctor other trials the students might face.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
For others, the wealthy, connected, and/or profoundly skilled, it would be quite different. As the subdued gathering wound down, Headmaster Iando discreetly approached ten select students, including Amanda and Salazar. In hushed tones, he extended them a special invitation.<br>
<br>
"You have all exhibited extraordinary gifts today," Iando told the surprised youths. "I believe you possess the skills to immediately undertake the final exams and trials usually reserved for third-years. Pass these, and you shall graduate the academy this very week."<br>
<br>
Excited murmurs rippled through the chosen few. Graduating in mere days was an almost unheard of feat. But Iando saw untapped potential in these promising pupils. With the right nudges, they could unlock it swiftly.<br>
<br>
"Make your choice before tomorrow and inform the exam proctors," Iando instructed. "Be ready to be tested as never before." With those ominous words hanging in the air, the Headmaster swept away in a swirl of embroidered robes.<br>
<br>
The candidates he had selected buzzed with nervous speculation. Even Salazar seemed caught off guard by the sudden opportunity. Those like Amanda realized their talents had marked them for greatness...whether they felt ready or not.<br>
<br>
As the night deepened, the chosen few were left to ponder if they dared seize this accelerated path to glory. The final trials awaited them in the hallowed Museum of Lore and Legends, a place that might become their new home should they succeed...<br>
<br>
The next day, several of them took up Iando. For Amanda, given her skills and titles, the final exams were easily accomplished and resolved. She had accomplished what she'd set out for. Hopefully the Duke would be happy with his investment.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center">​</div>Amanda sat in the tranquil courtyard of the academy, the soft murmur of the breeze rustling through the trees providing a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. She held her newly acquired certificates in her hands, the culmination of years of dedication and hard work. Her journey from a humble farmstead in Kirkwall to the prestigious academy was a testament to her determination and unwavering pursuit of knowledge.<br>
<br>
As she gazed at the certificates, memories of late-night study sessions, challenges, and her previous life flooded her mind. She had overcome every obstacle in her path, proving her mettle as a scholar, craftswoman, and advisor. But now, with graduation upon her, Amanda found herself at a crossroads, contemplating the road ahead.<br>
<br>
Her thoughts turned to Aria, her beloved partner, and confidante. Her parents, brother, friends, and the citizens of Caelia.<br>
<br>
With a sense of purpose burning within her, Amanda looked beyond the courtyard, her gaze fixed on the horizon. She knew that her journey was far from over. The certificates in her hands were not the culmination of her efforts but rather a stepping stone to greater heights. Amanda aspired to become a beacon of knowledge, a guiding force in the realms, and a champion for peace and prosperity.<br>
<br>
Determination welled up inside her as she made a silent vow. She would not rest on her laurels; instead, she would push herself harder than ever before. Her ambition was not solely for her own glory but for the betterment of Ryke, for the benefit of all its inhabitants.<br>
<br>
As she set her sights on her future, a remarkable transformation began. Her body seemed to respond to the intensity of her ambition, undergoing a subtle metamorphosis. It was as if the very essence of her being was evolving, aligning with her newfound purpose.<br>
<br>
Physical changes manifested as her aura pulsed with newfound power. Her eyes, once filled with determination, now sparkled with a luminous intensity, radiating wisdom and confidence. The energy within her surged, and she felt a profound connection to the mystical forces of the world.<br>
<br>
Amanda knew that this transformation was not just a reflection of her ambition; it was a manifestation of her potential. She had become a vessel for knowledge, a conduit for change, and a guardian of Ryke's future.<br>
<br>
<hr><div style="text-align: center"><br>
<br>
With her certificates in hand and her heart ablaze with purpose, Amanda stood up from her spot in the courtyard. Her steps were filled with purpose as she walked toward her future, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that awaited her.<br>
<br>
For the sake of her loved ones, for the betterment of Ryke, and for the pursuit of peace and prosperity, Amanda was determined to become the greatest aid in all the realms. Her journey had only just begun, and she was prepared to face it with unwavering resolve and boundless determination.<br>
<br>
Following behind her Mistress, Gloria smiled to herself. It seemed she was to have her work cut out for her.​</div></div></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Thomas heaves a sigh of relief. The tests were over, at least the entrance exam tests. He's sure there'll be more tests as the school progresses, so he'll have to hit the books hard and fast to keep up his momentum he gained coming into the academy. He feels glad for the students able to graduate early, and it appears Amanda is one of those people. The group was able to successfully coax out the butterfly largely with her help. Thomas feels like he didn't do too much himself other than pass the fourth challenge, which he made look easy with his temporal healing skill but was quite a handful. The academy ushered the students who passed to the Feasting Hall of champions, where tables were set up and assortments of food. Thomas was quite sapped of his strength for the day, merely picking at his plate, not really eating much. He scanned the room for Echo but didn't see her, so he pushed it out of his mind for the moment and went to find a few people. First, he located Salazar at a table across the room. He approaches the table meekly, his eyes downcast at first. "Good... good evening!" He was off to an awkward start, but wouldn't let that deter him. "I don't know what you meant when you said I was your rival earlier. This is my first time attending any sort of school because my parents taught me all the other basic things to get by until now. I tried my best to rewind time for your box, I really did. But its magic is so incredibly intricate, it was impossible for my current level of abilities..." <i>It might make for an interesting challenge once I become a lot stronger and more knowledgeable about time magic. At that point, I will return here and see if I can't get in on a teaching gig like Eris has... </i>Thomas became quite lost in thought. He wouldn't even notice if anyone were to walk up to him or walk away. At some point, however, he snaps out of his reverie and looks around, visibly confused. "Huh..." he shrugs it off and speaks final farewells to anyone gathered around him. There's another group he wants to check in on, but something is probing at his mind to take care of first. <br>
<br>
This time around, Thomas takes his time and a more scrutinizing search for Echo. He categorizes the room in his head into sections. Once he's finished scouring all the tables for any sign of Echo without seeing her, he starts to wander around the school. Along the way, he peers into empty classrooms and... some not so empty classrooms where couples are doing couples things without obvious approval. He quickly moves on from those classrooms, searching the rest and not seeing a single sign of her anywhere. <i>No... we were going to go to the cafe together. And do many more things... I had a whole big list... </i>Thomas believes he has searched everywhere, not seeing any sign of Echo. She left sometime between the end of the last trial and walking to the Feasting Hall. He's quite sure he's alone, so he slumps down against a wall, burying his face in his hands. Oh, how terribly it hurt to know that someone deeply cared about was gone without a second thought. He had wanted to find out a way to get her voice back but now that will never happen... Some time passes, and Thomas stops wallowing on the floor at long last. After all, there's still people he needs to find. He stands up and returns to the food area. Thanks to his scrutinizing search of all the tables, he knows exactly where the tieflings are sitting. Or maybe they're all standing, talking to others. If the tieflings are separated he tries his best to get them all together. If they're not spread out he joins the group, giving apologetic eyes for interrupting. "Excuse me, but I need to speak to all of you." Once he's certain he has their attention, he bows deeply. "I AM SORRY!" He blurts out. "I wanted to reverse time to stop the hell flies from dealing more damage but... I wasn't strong enough. I tried my very best and I can only hope you all will forgive me for being unable to do anything else!" He remains bowing until he hears from one of the tieflings.</div>

Aftermath<br>
<br>
The Celestine Academy in the City of Azuran has seen quite the group of new students this year, the actions of the first year students haven't gone unnoticed by the staff. While some of them may have looked like they were going to be kicked out from the exams many of hte students passed. Though they were soon to realize they were now under more eyes than before thanks to their performance. Professors and some of the older students even know their names! However there are rumors that the Academy sweeps many things under the rug though none of these rumors can be confirmed at this time.<br>
