				Students from all walks of life have gathered in the Academy's auditorium. Chatter can be heard all over the room, ranging from nervous conversations to bored comments. Laughter can be heard intermittently. The auditorium, as per its function, is rather large, and is currently seating close to a thousand individuals.&nbsp; At the front of the room is a raised stage and on that stage stand 3 individuals.&nbsp; The lights dim and spotlights illuminate the stage. Some of the chatter dies down, and one of the individuals steps forward to a podium with a built in mic.&nbsp; The man clears his throat and most of the chatter subsides, with the exception of a few students who just keep talking, and probably will continue to do so.&nbsp; <br>"Good evening, Ladies, Gentlemen, and Everything in-between. I am Dr. Heinrich Werner, Dean and Founder of this school. I want to take this moment to welcome you to the Academy. It is my earnest wish that you come to find this place as a second, or in some cases, first home, a place where you will build memories and friendships you will cherish for the rest of your days. Beyond that, I hope that the education you receive here will help you grow into the person you were meant to be. I know some of you have come from difficult backgrounds, and this may be your first time setting foot in a school, or this may be your first time seeing so many people in one place at a time. I urge you not to be concerned, for the person next to you is probably just as nervous as you are. I know classes won't begin until tomorrow, but consider it your homework assignment for the day to reach out to someone and get to know them.&nbsp; Who knows, you might just make a friend. Here at the academy, we strive to educate our students, not only in the art of combat against the Stigma, but in the art of living as well.&nbsp; Balancing your academics with your combat abilities will be paramount in the years to come...."<br>The deans speech continues, followed by the other two individuals on the stage.&nbsp; After everyone has spoken, the crowd is dismissed and everyone goes about doing their own thing for the night.<br><br>The next morning you head to your class. As it so turns out, you share your class with the other three players.&nbsp; After having sat down, the teacher walks in.&nbsp; She is a stern, red headed, woman with a no-nonsense atmosphere that instills respect, awe, and a little fear.&nbsp; "Good morning everyone, I'm professor Jane McRemitz. I'm going to assign you into six squads of four. Once I've assigned you your squad-mates, I'd like you to start getting to know each other for a little bit. I have an exercise for you to complete in a little bit, but you're going to want to get to know each other first. Remember, you succeed as a squad, and you fail as a squad.&nbsp; If you can't rely on one another, then you are screwed."&nbsp; She begins rattling off names, and assigning them to squads. "Squad four: Saeko Kishida, Vic Torry," she supresses a smile as she reads off his name before continuing, "Faeli Reina. Unfortunately we're short one member for your squad, so I'm going to have to ask you to join their squad for the time being, Mr. Ravenvictor. Is that alright with you all," She asks, directing her question at Squad 4, and the guard in question.

				Leaning cross armed against the wall next to the door, Grimoire gives only the slightest smirk before answering, "Of course Ms. McRemitz it is my job after all,"&nbsp; he turns his attention to the class giving a quick salute before speaking up, "Listen up everyone, I represent the guards here at the Academy and I wanted to tell you all before you get to knowing your squadmates better.&nbsp; It is our mission to keep you all safe while you are here, as such we only ask that you not hinder us in our endeavors and we, in return, will remain a minimal impact on your lives here at the Academy.&nbsp; Should you be assigned a mission you believe is too difficult for your current skill level, please don't hesitate to ask for one of us to aide you.&nbsp; We shall also be assigned by the administration if they deem it necessary.&nbsp; However you should not expect us to do everything for you, we all wish you to grow stronger yourselves, and our actions will always reflect that.&nbsp; That being said I look forward to keeping you all safe for the remainder of your time here."&nbsp; <br><br>He took one last look around before making his way over to Squad 4.&nbsp; Giving them another quick salute before speaking, hello Squad 4, the names Grimoire Ravenvictor, officer of the Galaxy Federation assigned to the guard here at the academy, it will be my pleasure to aide you&nbsp; in any way I can."

				Faeli did her best to block out the thoughts of the students in the room and focused instead on her squadmates. She felt bad searching for their surface thoughts, but if she was going to be working with them, she wanted to know their first impressions of each other.&nbsp; As for her first impression of the assembled squad, she thought they were at least interesting. "I'm glad to know you'll be helping us out, uh, Grimoire. I'm Faeli Reina. I...well...." She glanced away. Years of being ignored and feared had left her rather shy around new people.

				The moment his two new squad mates had introduced themselves Vic stood and faced Prof. McRemitz with an intense look, his outfit was the casual summer wear for the school which was a white button up shirt and blue pants, but the top button was open as requested by his step sister who Vic tended to follow her instructions when he was praised with words like 'it looks great on you'<br><br>The Knight raised his right hand, balled into a fist over her heart as he stared down the professor and then he spoke.<br><br>"I vow to Thee, our squad will triumph where others have failed, and should one of us suffer injury we all will feel the pain, each of us would gladly sacrifice themselves to protect the other and if one of us finds themselves in mortal peril we shall join together and thwart the danger as a team. This I vow to you and my squad till my heart is no longer beating..."<br><br>Vic stood his ground as several students snickered at his strange behavior, or in the case of a few of the girls, giggled madly at how intense and attractive he was.<br><br>Vic then sat down with a nod as he felt he had expressed himself well, then smiled to his new squad mates.<br><br>"I am pleased to know thee. My name is Victor Pen-Dragon Tiberius Arther Raymond Destrow Torry the Eighth, however my surrogate family has taken to calling me Vic Torry or simply Vic. Thou may do the same."

				"Time travel eh?&nbsp; Gotta admit that one was pretty obvious.&nbsp; Don't worry there's no need to be shy Faeli, not one person here will do anything to harm you or put you in harms way.&nbsp; We're all outcasts in one way or another, so there's no reason for anyone here to give you any problems.&nbsp; And if someone does give you flak, you tell me and I'll straighten em out right away."&nbsp; He gave her a confident, reassuring smile.

				"How could you possibly know all that?! Don't tell me you're psychic as well," asked Faeli, dumbfounded and a little frightened by Grimoires insightful comments.

				Ms. McRemitz, satisfied, returns to assigning the remaining students to their squads.<br>"Well, at least we have an interesting team," comments the fourth and final member of the squad. "Saeko Kishida. My name. Energy manipulator and crack shot."<br><br>As she speaks, each of you detect something different because of your different powers.<br><br>Undercover: Faeli notices that Saeko is trying her best to hide her thoughts from you. You sense something akin to embarrassment in her thoughts. you can roll to see if you detect what she thought, adding +3 to your roll.<br><br>Cmpuncle: With Grimoires Rinnegan eyes, you see that she emanates energy of multiple kinds. The energy seems to flare and contract with her emotions, almost as a means of expressing her true self.&nbsp; She is seemingly unaware of this fact. <br><br>DigitlNinja: Vic senses more than sees that there is a dark power lurking within her.&nbsp; She also seems to have a similar feel to the mages of your era.&nbsp; Once again, she does not seem aware of this.&nbsp; <br><br>Everyone: Saeko glances at each of you, a little aloof, though she smiles in understanding at Faeli "A psychic huh? Your powers will certainly come in handy. And you guys?"

				"No I'm not psychic, thats what this school is for, other than being the first line against the Stigma, it's meant to bring together those who have difficulty because of their powers, and I certinaly can't see why anyone who is considered an outcast in normal society would want to bring the same pain of rejection to any other like them."&nbsp; Turning to Seako, "I'm an officer of the Galaxy Federation, I have been trained as a ninja to utilize my much higher than average speed effectively, not to mention aiding in the control of my eyes," he points to them as he activates the Rinnegan changing his eyes from normal to the tell-tale ringed pattern, "They are known as Rinnegan eyes, and allow me access to a multitude of techniques and abilities, and I daresay you and I may be able to pull off some rather amazing things judging by your energy aura."<br><br>His explanation finished, he once again closed his eyes deactivating the Rinnegan, opening his eyes to his once again normal ones.

				"I am a Knight, I am combat ready and able to battle against some of the toughest creatures in existence and looking forward to saving some lives again. Should Thou find yourself in need of assistance I will be happy to render help in any way I can. Ms. Kishida, I should inform you that there is something inherently dark about your ability's and though you have gained my trust you should know I will be watching closely to determine if your strength and honor outweigh this feeling I have."<br><br>Vic saw nothing inherently bad about what he said but was blunt and honest as ever, it was something he needed to work on.

				Faeli keeps her expression neutral as she processes the thoughts that Saeko had. She didn't want to reveal that she had heard those thoughts to the rest of the squad, nor did she want to reveal her reaction to them.&nbsp; She just tucked the information away for later. Realizing she hadn't yet said anything, she remarked, "Wow. Who needs telepathy when you both wear your minds on your sleeve? I appreciate your kind remarks to me, though....I'm just not used to being around people...especially those that don't fear me. I'll try my best, okay?"

				"Who says I'm not hiding something?"&nbsp; Grimoire couples this statement with a small smirk, "Just because I'm volunteering info doesn't mean there isnt't something below the surface.&nbsp; Although it may be hard to read the surface of my mind, due to my training as a ninja, which taught me to only keep my current task on the surface of my mind."&nbsp; He turned to Vic, "I must admit you seem like my kinda guy, despite the overacting, a man who fights for truth and justice, is a noble man indeed."&nbsp; He offered his hand for a hearty shake.

				Vic smiled as he extended his hand to the assassin and griped the mans wrist before shaking normally, as it was what he was most used to and it was to check if he had a weapon hidden near his wrist.<br><br>"Well met, Sera Grimoire."

				Saeko isn't sure how to take the remarks the squad had made. <em>Darkness? Aura? what the heck are they talking about,</em> she thinks to herself without even attempting to hide it from Faeli. Honestly, she feels a little concerned by Vic's remarks. As she thinks about what he had said, her left hand unconsciously touchs the fresh bandage on her right arm. She only recently arrived at the Academy, having gone through the harrowing ordeal of traveling there through Stigma infested lands by foot.&nbsp; The injury had come from a recent attack by a stigma...strangely she couldn't quite remember how she'd gotten the injury, only that it still hurt to this day, and hadn't seemed to heal since then. At least it hadn't gotten worse.<br>Her mind returns to the present as Faeli thanks the two other members for their kind words and vows to try her best.&nbsp; "Well, that's all we can ask for Faeli. Let's all try our best"<br><br>"Alright everybody, that's enough for now. You'll have plenty of opportunities to grow accustomed to your new squad. For now though, I have an exercise....what is it Shark?"<br>One of the students puts down his hand. Apparently he goes by the name Shark. He is wearing clothes that are anything but the standard attire for the school. Baggy, maroon pants with tons of chains compete with a slightly unbuttoned, white, collared t-shirt for your attention.&nbsp; His hair is slicked back yet&nbsp; somehow manages to look dirty, though his confident eyes and laid back smile add a sort of irresistible charm to him. While his appearance wavers between slick and sloppy, there is a definite charisma to him. Since he's managed to commandeer the classes attention, he decides to speak up. "We'd like to take this opportunity to rename Squad 3 to Team Bad Ass, Ms. McRemitz."<br><br>"Shark, do not interrupt my class for such things again, or Squad 3..."<br>"Team Badass"<br>"...Squad 3 will suffer the consequences," she finishes, her tone indicating another outburst will not be tolerated.<br>Some of the other students snicker at the boldness of Sharks statement.&nbsp; From the whispered conversations it seems at least some of the class is in favor of calling them Team Badass.&nbsp; <br>"Since you seem so eager to call yourselves Team Badass, Squad 3, you will be the first to undertake this exercise. Please, step into the chamber behind me."<br><br>Ms. McRemitz pushes a button on her desk, and after her identity is verified by the built in scanner, a door opens in the back of the classroom. <br>"Alright, let's do this," Shark says as he leads his team consisting of a youth clad in loose, dark clothing and a ninja's mask over the lower portion of his face, a teenage girl with curious eyes and a calming presence, as well as an eager looking teenage girl with a flame motif on her shirt, shorts, and shoes. <br><br>Once the team has entered, Ms. McRemitz pushes the button on her desk again and the door closes behind them. "Just follow the instructions of the holographic guide. I'll be in shortly to monitor your progress," she says into an intercom.&nbsp; She sits down at her desk and steeples her fingers and gazes over them to the class seated before her before continuing. "Anyway class, as my holographic self is explaining their task to them, let me explain what the goal of this exercise is to you.&nbsp; In the few short minutes you've had to get to know one another, you've no doubt made first impressions about your team mates.&nbsp; Now that you've had a chance to get to know one another, we need to test you on your ability to work together to solve problems. The chamber behind me is an advanced virtual reality simulator room. I can configure it to provide all sorts of training scenarios.&nbsp; In this case, Team Badass is going to have to refine their newly forged bond by working together towards a common goal provided by the simulator. This week, we will focus on team building exercises..."<br><br>"HUAAAH!"&nbsp; THUD! "WHY YOU!"<br>The instructor smirks, as dismay shows on several of the students faces after hearing Shark cry out in pain followed by a loud thud.<br>"I see they're already in the thick of it." <br>She presses another button on the desk and no more sounds emanate from the room beyond. "Keep working at it guys," she says into the intercom. You notice that a small screen is on her desk and she appears to be monitoring their progress already as she talks to the class. For all her serious demeanor, she does seem concerned for the team, though it might just be your imagination. After a moment, she returns a portion of her attention to the class, <br><br>&nbsp;"Don't worry, while what you heard may sound alarming, you can't really be hurt in the simulator room. All damage is simulated and does not carry over to real life upon exiting the room."<br>DING! A chime on her desk announces the successful completion of the exercise<br>"Wow. It would appear Team Badass has cleared this exercise. In record time no less. I'll have to come up with a better punishment next time," she says jokingly.&nbsp; She pushes the intercom button again, "Squad 3, you may return to class through the exit. Thank you. Good job."<br>&nbsp;<br>Once again focusing on the class, "Anyway, if you can't learn to work together, you're screwed. Squad 4, you're next.&nbsp; Please step into the chamber. My holographic aide will see to it you're properly set up."<br>

				Vic stood and moved from behind his desk, it was time to prepare for battle, he didn't understand the concept of a simulator or any of the technology involved here other than the TV which seemed to be the centerpiece of every house.<br><br>Vic closed his eyes and took a deep breath.<br><br>"A Knight is only as powerful as his armor."<br><br>Vic then tossed his right hand up into the air and his left moved back with his hand balled into a fist as his armor magically formed around him somehow making him look more impressive.<br><br>Finally Vic reached out to the sides as two blue portals opened up and he pulled back his arms holding two swords that matched his armor and held his family crest on the hilt.<br><br>"I am prepared for battle, shall we show these students how it's done?"<br><br>Vic smiled as he extended a hand to his team and waited for them to join him.

				Keeping his ever calm demeanor going Grimoire effortlessly activated his Rinnegan while making his way to the chamber entrance.&nbsp; "Whenever you guys are ready."&nbsp; He pulled out his Ninja blade from its holster hanging on his back and rested it on his shoulder, but this blade seemed to have a gun barrel running along it's spine as well, and yet nowhere on his person could there be seen bullets of any kind for said barrel.

				Saeko moved up to join the rest of the squad. Since Grimoire was a guard, it made sense for him to have his weapon on him at all times, and Vic stored his weapons in a pocket dimension of some sort, so he was already equipped to go. Faeli and Saeko on the other hand were not so equipped.&nbsp; She hoped that if this were a combat exercise that they'd be given weaponry, but on the flip side, she didn't exactly need a weapon. her powers were perfectly suitable.

				As the group steps inside, the door closes behind them, like it did for the previous group. <br>[Go ahead and get set up, we're going to the observation room. When you're done, please join us, the guide will show you the way,] you hear over the intercom. The room is rather large and painted blue with black gridlines. There is nothing inside except for a holographic double of Ms. McRemitz and before her is a table will all sorts of weaponry.<br>"This will be a combat exercise. please choose any weapons and side arms you would like to use."<br><br>Saeko steps forward and picks up a pistol, a gun with a curved blade protruding from the bottom of the barrel, and a scythe, which she straps to her back.&nbsp; "Alright, I'm all ready.

				Grimoire knew that what Faeli siad was absolutely true, of course he knew quite a bit about the programs the teachers at the academy used for their classes, but he of course couldn't reveal anything as this was meant to be a growing experience for the students.&nbsp; "Well my vote goes to the sim of Squad 17, since they're still an unknown, besides you guys don't really want to beat up on your teacher do you?"&nbsp; He gave a playful chuckle after this remark.

				"I can tell you that Squad 3 chose to face me," the hologram says with a thin smile. "I can also inform you that only two members were left at the end of the exercise. While unharmed, the other two were unable to keep fighting."<br><br>"After hearing that, I'm up for challenging squad 17," Saeko decides. "I think Faeli's on to something, a one-on-four fight seems really unfair, even for the first day, so it's gotta be a trap. Especially if two of Squad 3's members were taken out.&nbsp; While it might be useful to learn how Squad 3 fights, they are members of our own class, whereas Squad 17 is an unknown. I agree with Grimoire, let's go after them."<br><br>The hologram's expression remains neutral. "That is two members for Squad 17, one for going against me, and one abstained.&nbsp; Due to time constraints, it is decided that Squad 4 will face Squad 17, by majority vote."<br><br>The room suddenly seems to shift as the program activates. Blue walls are replaced with rocky, canyon walls and the floor becomes desert terrain with depressions and hills, rife with rocks, boulders, shrubs, cacti, and dirt.

				Vic, using his encyclopedic knowledge of weapons, is able to detect that Maya, the leader of the group, favors using ARMS, powerful guns that require a certain power to wield. Alfred, the boy, is an explosives expert. Shady. the cat, does not wield weapons but instead uses strange powers. Todd, the man with the afro, appears to use a concealable sword hidden within his cane. Because he took the time to gauge his opponents, Vic gains +1 defense against the attacks of Squad 17. <br><br>Grimoire does not detect any energy coming from Todd, though his training as a ninja alerts him to the mans poise. His concentration is great, his focus unwavering. He can tell he is a skilled swordsman who is readying himself for an attack by Grimoire. Because of this, neither man will be caught off guard.&nbsp; (in other words, your penalties and bonuses against one another are neutralized because you're both reading each other. Your speed allows you one extra attack against him though.) From Shady, Grimoire can see two distinct energies, one of fire, one of ice.&nbsp; From Alfred, he gets nothing, and from Maya he gets an odd energy that seems malleable.&nbsp; <br><br>Faeli manages to throw Shady, the cat, but because of his ability to fly, he's able to gain control of his sudden flight and avoid crashing into Alfred.&nbsp; "Alright then, guess it's on," the cat says as he flies into the air and breathes a fireball at Faeli. Saeko stands in the way and attempts to take control of the fire, but fails miserably, taking the hit.&nbsp; Though a bit burnt, she appears to be fine.&nbsp; She then takes aim with the gun and fires at Shady scoring a sound hit and dealing roughly the same amount of damage to him as she just incurred. She then takes aim once more and double taps the gun, firing two more shots and scoring more hits on him.&nbsp; The cat looks to be feeling the pain. <br>"I got your back Shady," Alfred says and throws an explosive at Saeko which she is unable to dodge.<br><del>She is knocked back by the explosion, and painfully gets up. "Damn...."</del><br>Fortunately for her, Faeli and Vic came to her rescue.&nbsp; Vic, in an amazing show of agility, knocks the bomb into the air with one of his blades, and with a quick turn over his shoulder, bats it back at Alfred with the blunt edge of his other sword.&nbsp; However, the force of the blade isn't enough to send it all the way to Alfred, but with Faeli's telekinetic assistance, it lands in front of Alfred just as it explodes, dealing him the damage Saeko would have taken.&nbsp; <br>Saeko's eyes widen as the thought of what might have happened dawns on her. "Thanks guys....that was close."<br><br>Meanwhile, Maya takes stock of the group before her and realizes that their teamwork will soon become a problem.

No harm shall come to her so long as I stand in your way!"<br><br>Seeing her opportunity, Saeko rushes over to Grimoire's side.&nbsp; Maya aims her minigun only to be stunned momentarily by Faeli's Sensory Overload, preventing her from shooting Saeko.&nbsp; Saeko kneels down next to Grimiore, "hang in there, I gotcha." Light blue energy spirals down from above and pools over his body and then seeps in, popping bullets out of his wounds and restoring him to consciousness. Saeko turns around and points her weapon at Todd. She then raises the weapon straight into the air, and shouts, "Eat this, Scatter Shot," as she fires the bullet.&nbsp; The bullet crosses some sort of threshold resembling a magical circle and becomes pure energy, splitting into multiple energy bolts that wind and snake their way towards Todd and Maya. <br>The energy bolts weave their way across the battlefield around Vic and straight into both Todd and Maya.&nbsp; Todd, weakened by his battle with Grimoire is taken out by the bursts of energy, but Maya only takes a bit of damage from the attack, bringing her back to her senses. <br><br>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20, adding 9to the total<br>Comment: Todd interception. +4 for weapon proficiency, +3 for defending Maya, +3 for Def mastery, -1 for Vic's weapon check<br>Result: 12,<br>Total: 21<br><br>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br>Comment: defense against sensory overload<br>Result: 14,<br>Total: 14 (a tie roll, since Undercover forgot to add in the +2 for psychic force )<br><br>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20, adding 8to the total<br>Comment: Scatter Shot. +4 for proficiency with weapon + 4 for homing.<br>Result: 18,<br>Total: 26<br><br>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20, adding 3to the total<br>Comment: Todd vs. Scatter Shot<br>Result: 11,<br>Total: 14<br><br>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d8<br>Comment: Maya doesnt get to defend shes stunned<br>Result: 5,<br>Total: 5<br><br><br>Saeko: Bullets remaining: 4/8 in pistol, 6/6 in DG9 <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; HP: 28<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; MP: 38 (10 for healing, 5 for Scatter Shot)<br><br>Grimoire: HP: 19<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;MP: 20 (chidori blade and dragon tornado are high end moves, so 10 MP a piece)<br><br>Vic:&nbsp; HP:44 <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; MP: unknown (please roll 3d20 for your energy, since you do have spells and special attacks)<br><br>Faeli:&nbsp; HP: 41<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; MP: 59<br><br>Maya: HP: 25<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;MP: n/a<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;FP: 0<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Bullets: GUN: 5<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Minigun: enough for a few more attacks

				<br>"Don't mention it," Saeko replies to Grimoire. Small beams of energy begin coalescing in Saeko's left-hand weapon. as she readys her own attack, observing her team mates assault the sole remaining member of the Schroedingers. Maya instinctively jumps out of the way as the sword flies toward her, but is taken off guard by the follow up attack, receiving a slash to her back.&nbsp; Showing amazing agility, despite the sudden pain, she manages to dodge Vic's thundara attack. At that moment, Saeko roars for everyone to clear away from her and runs forward, both weapons glowing menacingly with gathered energy. Maya, sensing the danger of letting such an attack occur levels the gatling gun at Saeko, but before she can fire, she Teleports.&nbsp; Maya looks up and seems to transform right before your eyes. She looks the same, except now she resembles a witch. In her hand rests a staff that has replaced her minigun.. "I'm growing tired of your pesky teamwork! Taste the might of the forbidden spell!" Saeko does a turn in midair so she is facing parallel to the ground and fires her weapons. Massive beams of energy discharge from the barrels of her guns as an equally powerful amount of energy gushes out of Mayas staff toward Saeko. The two attacks clash in midair, but Maya's is just barely stronger, forcing Saeko's attack back at her.&nbsp; As the energy bursts in her face, her weapons are set far across the desert landscape, and she is blasted high into the air, barely conscious enough to teleport back to the ground safely.&nbsp; &nbsp;"Damn....she wasn't supposed....to be able to counter that..." she murmurs as she falls down on all fours.

				This battle had gone on long enough. Time to end it here and now.&nbsp; With the rest of the party distracting her with their attacks, Maya would have a hard time resisting Faeli's mind control. From there, she only had to make her surrender and the simulation would be over. Normally she'd be against doing this, but it was in the interest of protecting her team mates.

				Sheathing his sword and taking a calming breath as the simulator fully healed them Grimoire visibly relaxed.&nbsp; Regrouping with the others he took a quick look over them and noticed the blood coming from Saeko's arm, he had a feeling this might be due to the odd chakra he had seen earlier, so he decided to see if anything had changed, particularly in the arm that was bleeding, luckily he hadn't deactivated his Rinnegan yet.

				As Vic approaches Saeko, Faeli can detect a slight flare of annoyance come from her, "I'm fine, thank you."<br>The hologram of Ms. McRemitz materializes next to Saeko and holds up her hand to stop the group. When she speaks, it reverberates through the room, probably so the rest of the class can hear in the observation room, "The way the simulator works, it interposes a simulated reality over reality itself. When that interposed reality is removed, true reality takes over again.&nbsp; Since all the injuries are simulated in the interposed reality, they should go away when true reality resumes. Saeko, I was told by the nurses that you were injured by a stigma a few days ago. Was your arm bleeding before you got here?"<br>Anger flashes in Saeko's eyes over the attention her arm is getting. With Grimoires eyes, he can see that the odd chakra is indeed still there, and seems to be at the source of the wound.&nbsp; With Faeli's abilities, she can hear Saeko's thoughts. <em>Why are they so concerned?! It's not like they know me that well! What business is it of theirs that I got hurt?! It's not like I'm weak or anything! I wish they'd just leave me alone! </em>&nbsp; "Not that I know of," she replies to hologram, obviously unhappy to be singled out like this. "Grimoire, if you would, please escort her to the nurses office then. Faeli, Vic, please head up to the observation room. Everyone, you did well. And Saeko...we're only trying to help."<br>Saeko just turns and grunts. "Let's get goin."

				Cmpuncle:<br>As you're walking, Saeko clarifies. "If I'm honest about it, it's not the concern that bothers me.

The humans, Revya and Tanami both wear a sword on their hips. Revya is dressed in what appears to be a white karate gi, with blue lines forming crosses stitched into it along the back.&nbsp; Her shoulder length hair is loose, and you believe she wears dark glasses, though you can't see them from this angle.&nbsp; Tanami is attired in clothes reminiscent of an anime or video game character.&nbsp; She is wearing a synthetic light green, sleevless, one piece outfit that comes down to mid-thigh. A mudflap hangs down to about mid calf from the lower back of the outfit.&nbsp; Her feet are ensconced in the shoes that come with the girls uniform provided by the school, and she's wearing thigh-high socks that come to about an inch below the rest of her outfit.&nbsp; The elf, Carly, and the cat girl, Saila, are both dressed in the Girls Uniform provided by the school. Saila does not seem to have any weapons on her, but Carly can be seen attaching a pneumatic fist to her prosthetic arm.&nbsp; On her left hip is a gun of some kind that is tied to her powers somehow.&nbsp; <br><br>There are several screens in the room showing various stats. Two of the screens display Squad Fours and Squad Threes previous statuses while they were battling displaying HP, MP, etc. next to pictures of each member in profile, as well as the stats of their opponent. A third screen boots up, showing the stats of Squad 2 in much the same way, but their opponent is marked with a question mark.&nbsp; On the screen for squad four,&nbsp; Saeko's hp and picture have been flashing in red since she took that concentrated blast of her own energy to the face. Grimoires status is flashing in yellow. Shark is using a remote to replay his squads battle and is checking individual statues as he goes, analyzing how to do better next time. Of note, the statuses of Squad 3 indicate that only Shark and Haseo survived the exercise against Miss McRemitz's hologram.&nbsp; Blaise is looking rather dejected in the corner and Reise is trying to comfort her. They don't seem to be hurt or anything, aside from their pride.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				That was what he had figured would be the case, that the simulator wasn't at fault for the injury, but the fact that it had something to do with Stigma poison did bother him.&nbsp; She must have been attacked by a very unusual Stigma for the poison to still be affecting her so even after being initially treated.<br><br>"Very well doctor, take good care of her for me, and I shall report to Mrs. McRemitz at once.&nbsp; I know you think that this injury is causing you to hamper us, but I want you to realize that it really isn't, now you just let the doctor take care of you and try not to worry about it so much should you need me you can always have the doctor page me."<br><br>He gave a short bow before leaving the infirmary and heading back to the class.&nbsp; He got back to the class just as Squad 2 was preparing to enter the simulator.&nbsp; He walked up to McRemitz and leaned over to whisper to her, "The doctor says the injury was not a result of the simulator, but an injury which occured earlier and seems to be having trouble closing itself up, I have told him that I am on call should anything happen, so should I leave suddenly that is why."

He also memorized the stats of the enemies they had faced and compared the differences.<br><br>The stats of the team they had taken on where outstanding compared to there own, and according to the information the team they had fought was only at half strength. The Mrs. McRemitz program however was at full strength, meaning she was strong enough to best them but after some time every member of the class would surpass her in strength and ability if they trained properly.<br><br>Vic was quite happy to know this information and then smiled as he took a seat at an empty table near the screens claiming it for his team.<br><br>"This class was very interesting...

"Oh, don't be like that Blaise," Reise chides, smiling apologetically. "She took the last battle rather hard."

				The replica of Saeko had definitely thrown a curveball at Grimoire, he simply wasn't expecting it since this was the first he had encountered this ability.<br><br>"Well I must admit thats quite the handy ability there."<br><br>Grimoire leaned against the wall to watch the stats on the screen while waiting for the current team to finish their test.

				Vic's eyes where transfixed to the screens, as the next group began the test, he also was going over the stat's of himself in his head, he wondered what they would say if he had even shown half of his true power and ability's.<br><br>The King had never shown his full ability in battle before, never had an opponent worthy of such an attack. The problem was that he was worried about actually finding an opponent to test his true strength because that would mean an enemy of great power.

				Faeli returns Reise's smile and gives Blaise an understanding look. "hey, no need to take it so hard. After all, it's only our first day." Faeli still couldn't get over the fact that no one feared her here.&nbsp; Perhaps her mentor was right, coming here just might have been the best thing for her.&nbsp; "Anyway, your team cleared the event in record time, so you should be proud of that....right?" She smiles at Blaise, hoping to cheer her up.<br>

				"Maybe you're right," Blaise remarks, finally speaking.&nbsp; "It was only our first day." <br>"Right," Ms. McRemitz says, from nearby.&nbsp; The rest of the class is paying attention to the screens or to the windows overlooking the simulator room, and don't seem to hear her. "You should be proud of yourself Blaise. You're the first person to ever land a hit on me from directly in front.&nbsp; The injuries you caused led to your squads eventual victory.&nbsp; I'll give you a hint.&nbsp; My powers are precognitive. Yet something about you makes my abilities falter. You can alter your immediate future. Cherish that gift, for there are few who have it."&nbsp; She pats her student on the shoulder before returning to the window.&nbsp; <br><br>Below, in the simulator room, the environment changes to snowfield with a few small hills and a few deciduous trees interspersed.&nbsp; The wind blows and howls as it kicks up a minor blizzard before subsiding. It begins to snow as four figures step out of the snow cloud.&nbsp; You immediately recognize them.&nbsp; A ninja, dressed in patchwork clothes, a knight with two swords, a girl with two different guns and a scythe, and a girl with a staff.&nbsp; <br>"Interesting. It would appear Squad 2 has chosen to face Squad 4's data. This should be interesting," Ms. McRemitz comments with obvious interest in the battle about to unfold.&nbsp; On the screens, the stats of both parties are displayed next to their pictures.&nbsp; The holograms seem to be starting out at full strength too.&nbsp; <br>Excited chatter erupts between the squads as they all take bets.&nbsp; <br><br>Down below, Carly starts barking out orders.&nbsp; "Tanami, you should face the Knight. Revya, keep the ninja busy. I'll take the reckless gunner, Saila, stick close to me, and try to prevent the psychic from doing anything to support her squad.&nbsp; Their strength is teamwork, so let's divide and conquer!"<br>"Roger that," the other members say in unison as they head off to face their targets.&nbsp; <br>

				Vic watched the students closely, they were rather skilled at what they where doing, everything by the book with orders quickly given and accepted and now they where battling, keeping the opponents separated.<br><br>What Vic didn't like was that they had separated themselves as well making them more vulnerable, if someone was defeated.<br><br>Vic remembered the tactic he had chosen was to inform everyone of the biggest threat and take them down, followed by concentrating on the other two as a team.

				Faeli moves over to the window to watch the action more closely. While the others might be more interested in stats and screens, she wanted to understand the others better.&nbsp; As a rule, she didn't like to use her powers to invade other peoples thoughts and secrets. People often did not appreciate such an invasion of privacy, and rightly so.&nbsp; Still, it would give their team a definitive edge if she knew how the others thought of them. She subtly, so as not to broadcast the fact, opens her mind to the surface thoughts of squad 2 and their classmates around them, while filtering out anything not related to the previous battle and the one currently unfolding.&nbsp; She didn't focus on anyone specific, nor did she try to dig deeper. She simply let their thoughts reach her without actively seeking them.&nbsp;

				Grimoire decided to watch what was happening in the room rather than the screens, after all there was only so much one could learn or understand from stats, to really learn what someone was capable of you had to see it with your own eyes.

				Down below the holo-grimoire starts building up speed.&nbsp; Revya draws her weapon and say, "illuminate the night, arashi no you na sora.&nbsp; Lighting strikes the blade from somewhere and it transforms. The handle doubles in length. The blade itself tranfroms into a thick, curving blade reminiscent of a taught bow.&nbsp; At the other end of the handle, the blade is mirrored.&nbsp; Altogether it looks like a bow made of blades, minus the bow string.&nbsp; Using her abilities, Revya draws ambient energy from her surroundings, drawing a gasp of surprise from Saeko's clone, and notches an arrow of energy into her weapon.&nbsp; She starts firing off arrow after arrow, barely missing holo-grimoire as he accelerates.&nbsp; Wherever the arrows strike, electricity bursts forth searing anything it comes into contact with.&nbsp; After a few probing attacks, Grimiore starts fighting for real, but any time he gets near her, Revya somehow manages to dodge the attack reflexively.&nbsp; Faeli is able to hear some of the students wonder how Revya is able to match his speed, because her movements are still sluggish by comparison.&nbsp; It's Shark who figures it out. While Grimoire has the advantage of super speed, Revya has incredible reflexes because of her power.&nbsp; She can't move as fast as he can consistently, but when reacting to his attacks, she can move just slightly faster.&nbsp; Haseo on the other hand is paying attention to the battle between Tanami and Vic.<br><br>Both combatants are giving it their all, or so it would appear to most everyone. Vic knows better, because he hasn't revealed his true power yet.&nbsp; Still, the battle is getting heated.&nbsp; With a black katana in one hand and a keyblade in the other, Tanami savagely attacks holo-vic. His skill with his blades is greater than hers though, so he easily parries each strike and follows with several of his own. Rather than block his attacks outright, Tanami jumps out of the way or evades.&nbsp; Faeli can hear, through her telepathy, that one of the older male students thinks her style wastes too much energy and will only tire her out.&nbsp; After a particularly devastating strike to Vics blade, he sends her flying backward with a counter strike that she barely blocks.&nbsp; She lands softly and looks up at Vic with a grin.&nbsp; "Even for a hologram, you're pretty good. I haven't had this kind of challenge before.&nbsp; Guess I'd better step it up a notch." She points her katana at Vic and puts her other hand over the hilt.&nbsp; "Grace the Wind, Tohya!" Hurricane force winds pour out of the sword as it shrinks and becomes a Ninjato.&nbsp; The winds kick up snow obscuring the battlefield from the gallery.&nbsp; At about that time, on the screens it shows that Vic is taking continuous, albeit minor, damage every half second.&nbsp; Saeko on the other hand takes a massive chunk in one fell swoop, leaving her at just above half health.&nbsp; The attacks are registered to Tanami and Carly respectively. The remaining combatants have yet to take any damage.&nbsp;

				Vic smiled from his location in the waiting room, watching an opponent that was close to his own skill made him feel excited, he even felt worry for her as his holographic self landed a good counter attack.<br><br>It was quite the battle though even if he was not using his trump card, he just hoped that the holographic version of himself wouldn't be able to reveal his secret weapon to the class...<br><br>If he had known Faeli was a telepathy he would not be praising her for the dodges and blocks she made or thinking of the best way to parry his own moves.

				"Those are some amazing reflexes not many can keep up with me in any manor, she will indeed be a formidable fighter, but what did she do to her blade that is certainly something I haven't yet seen.&nbsp; And it wasn't just her who could do that, I wonder if they're the same abilities."<br><br><em>Hmm I wonder how Saeko's faring in the infirmary....</em>

				Faeli closes off her link. In truth, she couldn't really "turn it off" so much as she learned to ignore peoples thoughts. Everyone just thinks so LOUDLY! Still, she had learned a few rhings about the other teams. She instead turns her attention to the stat screens, hoping to glean details of what was happening off of them, since she couldn't see it.

				Ms. McRemitz grins, "astute observation Grimoire.&nbsp; In the next lesson, I'll be covering power types.&nbsp; For now, I'll just say that certain powers manifest in similar ways. While each person's powers are usually unique, they often fall into one of several categories."<br>Meanwhile, the winds whip up the snow so much that&nbsp; even the cameras can detect nothing down below.&nbsp; The status screens show that Revya is down, though her HP and MP values are still close to full.&nbsp; Carly and Saila are taking a beating, though they seem to be trading blows with Faeli and Saeko but they're quickly falling apart.&nbsp; Suddenly, without warning, Tanami's hp hits zero and she's out of the running.&nbsp; The winds clear up and the snow stops whipping around but it still obscures the view.&nbsp; And without warning the other two are dispatched as well. Squad four is the victor.<br>As the simulation ends, Squad 2 picks themselves up and brushes off the dust and grime of battle. Ms. McRemitz speaks into the intercom. "Not bad guys.&nbsp; Head on up to the observation room.&nbsp; Squad 5, you're next."<br>

				Faeli was a bit dissapointed she wasn't able to see what had happened. It would have been convenient to see how the other squad had lost. <br>"Ms. Mcremitz, may i go check on Saeko," she asked before realizing she was thinking about her.
