Fantasy Nexus Academy of Magic (Reboot)

Magnus had just waved off Minerva and the others to head off to class when he finally looked down to notice a Dik-Dik who somehow made it in without him noticing. Beside the fact that he was convinced that he needed to update the defensive wards on his door he was left wonder why Aelinore sent her ahead. He was pretty sure that she should of at least learned that even someone like him was incapable of speaking with her familiar. At least this did mean that she was close and on her way back to see him. Petting the Tiki on the head he sat down behind his desk and sent out some spirits around the school to see if he was going to have any other visitors. Aelinore seemed to be with Allen as well but he did also notice that two others were coming his way. He noticed one as Andrew who must of been escorting that student that was unable to make it the day before. Adding on top of this once he was finished he found another paper on his desk saying that another student had not made it. This has been a very busy day for sure.

Andrew wasn't surprised in her switch after seeing the uniform. She wasn't the first to ask that way when seeing it and she wasn't going to be the last. He kind of wanted to laugh a bit in the way she was talking like he was the one who designed the uniforms. "I don't expect you to wear anything, he replied. "Those are just the academy rules that everyone has to follow. And trust me no one will think of jumping you around here when they would have to deal with the head of security or the headmaster. So yeah it may not be the best thing to fight in but you will never have too. Even when you are in your combat magic class you are allowed to wear gym clothes since it's the only class that is more physical than all the others. As for it having a skirt that's just something you're gonna have to deal with." Andrew reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to JD. "These are the academies rules just so you know before you accidentally break one. Best to not do that since I heard two students already did and you don't wanna end up like them."

"Well that's comforting to know," he replied to Jocelyn's comment on not breaking the rules. "Punishments can vary really depending on who is giving them. If the headmaster is punishing you it could be as simple as detention or as complex as having to perform a sequence of spells until you got it right or until he was bored watching you fail. If it's any of your professors then I'm not really sure myself. I had spent most of my time just coasting by not trying to do anything wrong when I was a student here. I never heard what happened to the others in my class who did something wrong. I will say though that Bithiah, the white arts instructor, is not someone to be messed with. She's lived for at least 5000 years and isn't one to play nice with those who piss her off." He remembered one of the guys from his class tried to play a prank on her in the middle of class. Well needless to say the guy didn't ever try again after she was done with him. "Oh that reminds me I should warn you that some of the instructors and faculty here aren't as old as they look. No one I know has knowledge of the headmaster's real age but most of us guess he has to be around 6000+ years old from the way everyone treats him. I can say though he is a pretty chill guy so don't say anything... overly aggressive and you'll be fine with him. Everyone else ranges from as young as 28 to as old as 5000 and you would never really know who. Well I guess accept for some of them that kind of look there age I guess. Oh that reminds me do you have any questions before we get there?"

Ellie was both impatient, but also patient at the same time. She felt useless in this state, unable to do anything except rely on this mostly stranger for help. But, she was thankful to have anyone help her in general. "Thank you... again." She didn't know how many times she had thanked him already, but it never seemed like enough. She stayed quiet through the rest of their trip, getting to the kitchen in no time at all. As soon as she entered, a couple of the chefs recognized her immediately. They insisted that she go straight to a table and so she did. The cafeteria was mostly empty at this point, she assumed because the students were going to their classes. When she sat down, they brought three heaping plates of food and several glasses of water and other restorative liquids. She closed her eyes for a moment, gritting her teeth to get over the initial nausea. "Please, help yourself." She made a gesture to the food in front of her, hoping that Allen would partake in some of it as well.

As soon as she had steadied herself, she dug in. The chefs had piled on foods from different cuisines, most of it the last of what was left over from lunch, but she didn't mind. It was all delicious and she love all types off food. There were little mini-sandwiches, a small section of pasta, pizza, a little bit of curry, just to name a few. She relished in the food, but she ate quickly. She knew that there was a lot to do and she couldn't waste much time with this. Once she started to eat, she ate fairly quickly, not leaving any room for conversation between the meal. She finished two of the three plates and drank most of the cups of liquid, but left plenty of food and drink for Allen. She knew her appetite was much larger than most others, which was fine by her.

When she had finally finished, she stood up and stretched, almost immediately better than how she was before. She did a half bow at Allen and threw in another thank you. The food had indeed done wonders and she was feeling much better now. "Well, now that that is taken care of, we must now go see Magnus. Or at least I must. I have returned late and will be behind on several things. If you would like, we can go together, but if not. I shall see you another time, yes?" With that she nodded and took off, half jogging until she got to Magnus's office. When she got there, she knocked on the door frame and bowed to him. "Sir, I deeply apologize for my late arrival. I ran into some trouble, but I will make sure such things do not happen again. What would you have of me, Sir?"

Anna's conversation with Morkari fell short as suddenly the seat from beneath her ceased to be. She could also feel the notebooks and supplies on the desk topple to the floor as well as her familiar growl in annoyance. Immediately she felt a mixture of embarrassment and pain. Pain from her collision on the floor, her bottom, back, and head all burning from the sudden impact. Embarrassment clouded her face and she knew her cheeks lit up a bright red. She scrambled, trying to gather all of her supplies. She struggled at first, trying to find reach around for all the scattered items, but her familiar soon jumped in, guiding her to where the items were.

She quickly stuffed all the things in her bag before standing up, doing her best to regain her composure. She felt herself shaking, but she still took several breaths before focusing back on the teacher. What was her name again? Bithiath. Her familiar piped up and she nodded silently. She tried to pay attention, but already her heart dropped. She was supposed to draw something? How even was that possible? Even her familiar had doubts. It's... a complicated image. I don't think I can describe this to you in enough detail to be accurate. Maybe... you can talk to the instructor? It was then that she spoke to another student and Anna's heart sank even more. No, she was quite sure she would rather sink into the shadows and hope to be forgotten until the class was over.

Andrew thought for a bit about her question as it was an interesting one. "I've never heard of anyone healing someone who is suffering from that but it should be possible. There are tons of different healings spells, one of them is bound to work." Truth be told for all Andrew knew he could of been taught that spell in class himself but would know. He didn't pay to much attention in class since he was always able to pass every assignment with no problem. This was just another reminder that his instructor were right about him needing to actually use his full potential and stop slacking off. "There should be a whole section in the library that has something on that, if not you could get lucky and learn it in class."

"Perfect timing," said Magnus as Ellie stepped into his office. "Don't worry about the delays I have more important things for you to keep focused on. There is another student that we failed to retrieve yesterday. I need you to go get them right now before something happens and Discordia has a chance to track them down. There movements lately have been odd from the reports that I have gotten and it looks like they have been trying to get to the students before we can." The Order of Discordia seemed to have decided to recruit young uninitiated mages before they could be told the truth of things. "Oh wait I totally forgot, did you....." Magnus stopped as he realized that tiki had brought him the book he sent Ellie to get for him. "This is excellent work you've done here," he said raising the book. "I will want your full report once you come back with the new student."

Ellie nodded again before stepping into the office. Tikki had found a small spot to curl up, content to stay there until she returned. Ellie turned her full attention to Magnus, her arms crossing behind her back. "Yes, sir. Of course. What can you tell me about the student and where might I find them?" As she spoke, she rubbed her arms, her fingers running over the various scratches. "Ah, yes. If you would also permit me. I should find a quick change of clothes in my quarters as to not frighten the student. I don't believe this appearance is quite welcoming."

Andrew was stopped in his tracks the moment he heard the words "back from the dead" come out her mouth. In the recorded history of all magic including the two that have been brought back recently there were not many cases of someone bringing someone back to life. "Well I would be lying if I said no," he replied. "Powerful mages in the past have been known to be able to do just that. Unfortunately those cases ended with the caster dying themself, bringing the person only back as a living corpse, or bringing them back only to die seconds later. Only a few ever succeeded to perform that spell perfectly but even then they were masters who studied magic for many years. And even if you were taught how do perform such a spell one thing is always required, the soul of the person you want to bring back. Since getting one of those is so difficult and pretty much impossible if they have moved on from this world it is pretty much impossible to cast that spell correctly."

"Right here is everything that you will need to know about them," he said handing her the file." And yes you may go change. No need to scare them off before they know what they are getting into."

Gomenesigh

With one final bow, Ellie took the file and left, reading it on the way as she hurried to her room. When inside, she put the file down and quickly changed. Unfortunately, she didn't have many long sleeve shirts and so there was no way to hide the cuts on her arm naturally. Luckily, that was what magic is for. So, she switched out the tank top with a dark blue sleeveless button up blouse with a collar. She changed her bottoms to simple black plants and into simple black boots. She looked into the mirror and ran her fingers through her hair before straightening up. She closed her eyes and blew out a small breath, concentrating on first her hair and then her arms. When she opened her eyes, her stark white hair had changed to black. Boring, but normal. Next, she turned her arms over to see no more scars, which was good. It wouldn't do to show so much to a student before getting to the school. With that, she scooped up the file again and opened a door, well, the portals they used to get from the school to the rest of the world. Without a second glance, she stepped through.

It was warm, a lot warmer than the academy had just been and her eyes flickered shut for a moment, blinded by the sudden onslaught of sunlight. She raised her hand to create a smaall shield and looked around. A farm, as she recalled. She looked around, but didn't seee anyone immediately nearby. The house itself had bags packed and ready to go sitting at its doorstep. Odd, she thought. A day late and the bags were just sitting there? Her mind immediately went to fear, as she thought something might be wrong or the student might be missing. She quickly went over to the house, rapping her knuckles on the door and calling out. "Hello?" Her voice seemed to ring out through the house, which confirmed her suspicions that no one was inside. She quickly turned and her eyes scanned the sights in front of her. There was a barn, but at first glance it didn't seem as if anyone was inside. She did hear the distinct sound of horses neighing and decided to investigate.

Just as she had originally seen, no one was there, but one of the stalls was empty and fresh tracks led beyond. She quickened her pace and followed them until she came across a young man atop a horse. Her fear instantly turned to irritation. She knew that she was new, barely having started at the Academy, but here she was, coming to fetch this boy, and he was riding a horse instead of focusing on getting to school, like he should be. She quickly hid the irritation, her face turning into a blank mask as she walked over to him, careful not to get too close and scare the animal. She flipped open the file, looking at it for a moment to compare the picture to the man in front of her. It was definitely him. "Excuses me. Mr. Warner Holton. I am here to take you to the Nexus Academy of Magic. Please if you would, you are already a day behind and another class has just started. I need to get you there right away so you do not fall behind in your studies."

Andrew jus sighed after hearing Jocelyn's response on the matter. Resuming to walk he just shook his head knowing well enough that there was no point in arguing with someone this stubborn. "Alright well if that is what believe I won't stop you. Just be careful, you were here to have to listen to the speech they give here on the dangers of magic but I doubt that would convince you otherwise." He really did wonder where she kept all of that determination inside such a small body. Soon enough they finally reached the headmaster's office and knocked on the door and walked in knowing well that they were expected. "Sir I've returned with the new student I was sent to get."

Magnus had been in the middle of working an experiment on his alchemy station and signing papers when he heard the knock on his door. Looking up he saw Andrew and someone who must be the student Andrew was talking about. "Good I was wonder when you would get here. I have a few more appointments today and wanted to make sure I was gonna have time to see you both." Setting things down he moved from his desk to the table he has in the center of the room. "Please sit we have much we must go over I send you off. And Andrew please stay she will still need you once we are done here."

Once both had sat down at the table Magnus motioned Andrew to hand him the file. Taking one last look at it he looked up with a smile at her at her question. "Well what's up is that we need to get you up to speed as quick as possible. Your lucky though that not much has been taught to the class that you are going to be in. But for now we need to at least help you summon your familiar so that you aren't so far behind. And to answer any questions you might have familiars are spirit animals that are a reflection on who you are as a person. Everyone has one because they are very useful when it comes to practicing magic. And as for summoning your own, it merely requires for you to focus on calling them. Now that your magic is unlocked this will be easy to do since familiars are merely waiting to be called. They live off the magical energy that flows through our bodies so without access to that you could of never been able to do this before." Magnus being as smart as he is also wanted to give her a little advantage to speed things along. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a small silver earring and placed it on the table. "Try this on it helps channel your magic while you're still in the learning stages."

Andrew raised his hand so as to help with Jocelyn's problem was given a nod by Magnus to give it a go. "The process is a little different for everyone so it's hard to say if you are doing it wrong. Some can do this by purely visualizing your familiar appearing before them. Some need to draw a symbol that has some kind of meaning to them. Others give them a name that they can call out to, which I would say is a good choice. Your familiar is going to need a name any. But for the sake of you know what you might see let me go first." Standing up Andrew stepped back from the table and closed his yes. He had long done this so he could just call his familiar the easy way but this was a demonstration. "Come forth Brutus...." Before him a puff of smoke exploded and quickly dispersed leaving nothing but his cougar familiar Brutus. "It might not look like that when you do it but that's as simple as it gets."
