::Oh, it's an improvement alright.:: he sounds a little distracted as Vai picks up her shirt, and he intentionally averts his eyes. Beautiful girls everywhere at this school. Even the dragons apparently.
::I should get going to my next class,:: Phaezeriel gets a small sense of dread from Ehos when he mentions the next class, ::I'll see you at lunch Phaeze? Or will you be working in the lab?::
Adon rushes past to Advanced PE.
The group of bullies seem more and more cowed as more people show up to defend Sadie and Vai's honour. All of them, except for the speaker, mutter something about not really wanting to fight, but pick up swords anyway, knowing that there was no other way they'd be getting out of the classroom.
The one Belyu singled out looks particularly bummed at having been called out, but he still stands opposite her.
None of the speaker's henchman are at all useful with a sword, and are quickly routed once the real fighting begins.
Sadie faces off with the speaker, who Sadie can tell is a novice with the sword just by the way he's holding it, but he stands proud anyway. "Oh.. a new girlfriend is it? Hmmm.. half-ogres, dragons... what's next, Sadie? Is your new lady a medusa? Did your sense of humour look at her and turn to stone?" Cocky bastard. Sadie remembers his name now: Kaze.
Ardiente reacts by jumping back and channelling the fire inside him into a whirlwind, hoping to at least cause the cold to flow around him. Such a tactic would only work for an indirect attack such as this burst, but should hopefully be enough in this case.
Ardiente sees the follow-up attack, David reaching out to him, and does the only thing he can think of: block the attacks directly with fire.
The insubstantial nature of the fire proves to be a poor defense against Dave's second attack, as he reaches out and touches the firebird.
Dave grins as he punches through the fire and curses the firebird, "I'll take that as a no you can't counter my curses," if nessairy Dave melts the ice with a bolt of fire "here let me fix that" he then casts a remove curse to his magic seeing eyes he sees the curse, and nearly go out "hold on, not quite" he casts again this time he sneezes while casting and barely hits him with the spell "oops, third times the charm" he cast correctly this time but due to the potency of his curses still fails "oh come on!" the frustration of his failed castings causes him to put more energy into the casting than previously and the curse is lifted "there we go, fixed it"

Renkai does the opposite and stares at the expanse of skin revealed...
Then cheap shots his opponent with a kick to the crotch and as he falls he slaps the unfortunate soul across the face with a glove (filled with lead shot)
Renkai leaves his sobbing opponent on the floor and walks calmly to stealth class.
Goes to stealth class...after getting fork and hat from vai
Adon rushes past to Advanced PE.
Rosa's Advanced PE Class one -> THE MAZE OF MADNESS
The 18' Mecka Dragon Trooper Rosa with a massive gun-sword, stands and looks at the class standing in a SIM room that looks like a simple whit room, with 6 archways leading out, one in each wall, she saysTHE MAZE OF MADNESS, The aim of this class is simple, it's to got get to the center of this 5 dimensional maze, where you will find Me with a clip board, and you score, Good luck, you have one hour.
With that she vanishes, if you try and teleport you get diverted to a room, same with all from's of movement, you end up in a room, try and scry where Rosa is, room showing some thing shocking and so on. The Maze dos and will push you, block you bend you, make the simplest things hard to do. It is disorientating, frustrating, sneaky, manipulative and down right maddening. This massive assault course in a maze that seeks to find and any and all of you weakness. The maze shifts form contently like some mad M.C. Escher airwork, rooms open up and in side can be any thing, Anti magic fields, mixed gravity, hellish things waiting to jump you, some block even magic senses, some magic movement, Some have no air, some are solid matter, some full of magic or Tech Tarps, some have illusions to upset and charm you, some have nothing to piles of loot to temp you, some have lines of students waiting to be checked so they can move one, Lines that never get shorter. some full of cowbells, Some have lost little boys that need to find mummy, some a fellow student that needs your help or they will die, it will find every vice, every pain, every hope and dream, and nothing stays the same for long. Every now and then you hear a scream as some one gets into terrible trouble very close to you, could be the room next door.
No one makes it to Rosa on the 1st day.
"Professor Reading will not be teaching anymore classes today unless she believes she is up to it. I've arranged for a substitute if she does not."
"Ah.. well if Professor Reading is still not feeling up to it, I am sure I would be able to teach Basic Arcana. Please let me know."
"As for your dreams, there a few things you should know. One, as a Seer I feel I should help you. As your Headmaster, any burden you have is already one of my own. If these dreams are causing you distress, there is no reason I, or any other teacher at this school, shouldn't help you. Tell me about them in as much detail as you can.""
Tyrrin nods slowly as the Headmaster speaks. "I understand Headmaster, but I also have to be able to deal with my own problems. I won't always be at the school. I need to be able to deal with these sorts of things on my own. Truly, I am only here because Jaiye insisted on me speaking with you, and I gave my word." Tyrrin gives voice to her... independent streak, explaining quite clearly what the Headmaster has known for quite a while already: Tyrrin will generally never ask another for assistance with her own problems. That Jaiye managed to convince her otherwise is quite an indication of how much Tyrrin has changed - to be taking advice from a lycan.
"But, I did give my word, and so I will do my best to remember every detail." she closes her eyes for a second, seeming to almost meditate. Ryo feels a very subtle shift in Tyrrin, and then she opens her eyes. Her eyes are clouded over and give off a soft blue light. Her voice is monotone, without inflection or emotion. Ryo will immediately recognize the signs: Tyrrin has entered a Seer's trance... though he cannot tell if she meant to do so. As Tyrrin speaks, Ryo gets mental flashes of the scenes which are being described, despite the fact that Tyrrin has (somewhat bitterly) professed several times that she has no psychic ability.
"I walk next to my brother as we return to our home. We pass by a beggar on the street. Lush green forest. My Mother's welcoming smile as we enter the Great Tree. A strange tension in the air. Mother asks me if I've made allies at Avalon. She asks me what I've learned there. I am about to respond. The whole world seems to shake. The whole world does shake. I know. I know that we are defenseless. Something has stripped our protection. They come. The dragons, the Empire's ships. They found us. They remember. Fire rains down from the sky. I see my Mother and Ehos fall in battle. Jaiye is trying to protect me, and I her. They come for us." Tears are beginning to streak out of Tyrrin's eyes despite the continued emotionlessness of her voice. "All I love is burned and destroyed. The Empire leaves nothing alive. The planet is scrubbed clean. Nothing more than a charred cinder. Floating in space."
Tyrrin blinks, and the trance ends, Tyrrin's hand goes to her forehead, as if trying to rub away a headache. "Sorry Headmaster, I have not been resting well lately. I will try to remember as much as I can." She seems to have no memory of her trance.
roel is told that you can't die in the sims... and he jumps right in.
"Referee? I'm good with that Besides I don't get to practice my healing water to often." The fights were fast most were only single strikes over in less than a moment. The only fight that seemed to stick out was Sadie's and that was the jerk off a bully trying to goad Sadie. Dom had a feeling his healing would be needed most in this fight.

1: Soon you find your teleports send you back to where you started, its a kind of loop.
2: Then you find that the solid matter rooms become Class and gold, that have Immunity to acid.
3: The The Gravity rooms keep sloping you up and down,
4: Then you hit a room with pulling down 4000G, you mass becomes 4000x movement and your Teleport keeps looping you back, it just will not work, then half way across the drops to -200
5: just when you felt it could not get any harder a simple gold pip comes out of a wall and sucks you up drops you in a blender,
Concentration roll DC50 to do any thing

roel gets in it. he's hurt, but not as bad as most would expect. great... now what? he thinks, rather frustrsted.
"Thanks Phaeze, that'll save me some time. What's your project? I'm sure if it's urgent, you could speak with your teachers and explain."
"I was gonna come back for you Nim, I was just going to change!" the dragonling looks content with this explanation, and drapes himself around her neck in his usual way.
Phaezeriel smiles when he sees the wyrmling, and his thoughts are full of a smile, ::Glad to see he is still around.:: His thoughts turn much more serious, and are directed to Ehos and Vai alone, ::I am working on a couple of items that will help me help Chara. She has an unfortunate condition that I can help with. I am sure that I could get a special exemption from classes, but I don't really need to sleep, and I can only do a certain amount of work on them in a day.::

Just when you think it could get any more maddening a lid drops onto tge top of the jar and screws in place, it has a label on it that reads “pickles ”.
Rosa comes and gets you at the end of the hour
A few minutes after Stealth starts the lights blink off for an almost imperceptible amount of time. When they're back on the board his written on it, "welcome to The Art of Not Being Seen. My name is Mr.Strider. While you were reading this the classroom has changed into a forest. If you are not caught by the time the end bell rings you will pass today this is not a grade but determines the level this class is taught at. You will have ten minutes to begin. Anyone who finds the red crystal ball may leave early. Good luck." The classroom is now an extensive forest. Run.
After reading the message Renkai takes off at a dead run in a northwestern direction...
then after slipping behind a tree he runs out from behind it at a 35 degree angle to the east.
Stealth Check:1d20+38 Takes 10

He hides in the shadow of the tree hoping the illusionary him destracts the teacher long enough for him to relocate
The group of bullies seem more and more cowed as more people show up to defend Sadie and Vai's honour. All of them, except for the speaker, mutter something about not really wanting to fight, but pick up swords anyway, knowing that there was no other way they'd be getting out of the classroom.
The one Belyu singled out looks particularly bummed at having been called out, but he still stands opposite her.
None of the speaker's henchman are at all useful with a sword, and are quickly routed once the real fighting begins.
Sadie faces off with the speaker, who Sadie can tell is a novice with the sword just by the way he's holding it, but he stands proud anyway. "Oh.. a new girlfriend is it? Hmmm.. half-ogres, dragons... what's next, Sadie? Is your new lady a medusa? Did your sense of humour look at her and turn to stone?" Cocky bastard. Sadie remembers his name now: Kaze.
She thwacked him with the flat of the practice blade hard enough to leave a bruise.
"I dare you to say that to her face. Word to the wise, don't be standing next to anything liquid when you do..."
She thwacked him again. She could have disarmed him easily, but is using the duel as an excuse to beat him senseless. She continued in this vein until he drops his blade and surrenders or passes out from pain whichever comes first.
As the secondary Renkai runs out a rubber kunai flys out of no where and dissipates the illusion. A note tied to it says nice try keep going.
Jaiye looked around at the forest and grinned. She shifted into her hyena form and took off, finding an area of tall grass where her coat would blend in.
As the message appears in stealth Tybalt reads it quickly and disappears. He reappears in a shaded area. good thing I wore black

Rosa put Roel down and lets him get put. You can see other students in even more compirmasing conditions than yourself.
“your mark is good Mr Roel, you missed most of the mondain parts of the maize
And i wwanted to thank you in letting the sim room gauge your capacitys, this infomation will Be most useful in the weeks to come. I would suggest this find other ways to move around and get past obsicals, and no not feel bad no one not even me has ever beaten the maze of madness .“
She moves on to another student that seems to have been fussed with some stone.
“now Mr Grot the thing about magma...”

You climb the tree, remain unseen but cannot find the orb.

A pink rubber kunai jabs itself into the ground it has a note that reads "very close try just a little harder."
Jaiye's ears drooped. That was trying harder. She slunk along, looking for a better hiding place.
Fortunately for her she found a sun dappled area that perfectly blended with her coat.

To Tybalt renkai and jaiye nothing else seems to happen when you stay there. You can only assume that means you've got it right. Right? Right.
Gotta try to at least look around for the shiny.
Fail.
Renkai looks down as Jaiye settles down to hide under a nearby tree, woah, Big Dog... I'm hoping that is not the teacher...WOW it dissapeared!
Renkai is still looking for the evasive hidden orb

Johnny sips s/he tea and going over the data feed from liburey drone.
He send it to get data on basic magicand theory and history looking for real reserch, on the subject with peair review, but it's hard going, most of the data it found was junk, eclectic ramblings of the clueless, o yes they could tell you in great details what it did and howto do it but how it really wrorked . Johnny got up and decided to find a class on the subjectn.

Rolling the perception 1 almost causes you to fall out of the tree. New stealth check.
Nope.Nope.
Stealth:
Renkai's near fall experience actually helps him to hide by shifting him into the shadow of the branch
Phaezeriel's voice is definitely amused now, ::I will definitely be at lunch, this is my first day teaching the psionic basic class.::
Phaezeriel gets a very 'innocent' look on his face, and his thoughts are full of a feigned bewilderment, ::What? Don't look at me like that, I am sure I said something about it before, right?::
::Ah! You finally decided to take my advice about teaching? I'm sure you'll do wonderfully Phaeze... Professor Phaezeriel.:: Ehos performs a bow, which is half in jest and half serious. Phaeze can feel a sense of pride and encouragement from the young elf, replacing the dread at the thought of his next class. ::Oh geez,:: The second bell rang, which meant everyone present was about to be late for class. ::Let us hurry!::
Ehos sprints towards his next class, Stealth. So much for talking with Jaiye before class. Maybe he could find her... not likely. She was an expert at this stuff. The best he could would be to try and track her. At least he was pretty sure there were no other hyenas in the school.
Sliding silently into the practice area, Ehos looks about for a trail before moving to hide himself.
Phaezeriel smiles when he sees the wyrmling, and his thoughts are full of a smile, ::Glad to see he is still around.:: His thoughts turn much more serious, and are directed to Ehos and Vai alone, ::I am working on a couple of items that will help me help Chara. She has an unfortunate condition that I can help with. I am sure that I could get a special exemption from classes, but I don't really need to sleep, and I can only do a certain amount of work on them in a day.::

"Of course he's still around." Vai beams, "He was a gift from my friend. I intend to treasure him for as long as I live." Her expression turns somber as Phaezeriel mentions Chara. Such a brave little girl, she didn't even complain when it happened. Vai was scared to play with her, because she was worried it would hurt the young girl too much. "Phaeze... if there's anything I can do to help Chara, let me know. She's family after all."
"Ohhh, you're teaching now? That's awesome! You're amazing Phaeze, I'm sure you'll do fine." She gave the little quasit a hug. Funny, she could stand to hug a demon... but a normal person was scary. Maybe it was the size difference. "If you ever need me... just call me. I'll be there before you can blink." Vai says seriously, remembering the first day in PE, that Phaeze had broken down during a game of dodgeball. "Alright?" she finishes with a smile.
She thwacked him with the flat of the practice blade hard enough to leave a bruise.
"I dare you to say that to her face. Word to the wise, don't be standing next to anything liquid when you do..."
She thwacked him again. She could have disarmed him easily, but is using the duel as an excuse to beat him senseless. She continued in this vein until he drops his blade and surrenders or passes out from pain whichever comes first.
Kaze was certainly being stubborn, though his fencing efforts were rather pathetic and futile against Sadie's mastery. Eventually he gets pissed off enough and makes a motion with his hand. All the air quickly evacuates from Sadie's lungs. "Oh... I get it now. That little Water-b#*@#. What's her name again? Oh right.. you can't talk." The match was turning from bullying to legitimately dangerous.
As Ehos heads off to Stealth, Phaezeriel's thoughts continue to carry to him as well despite the distance, ::Well, I am not Professor Phaezeriel. I am more like an assistant to Professor Nix. I am just taking the novices off his hands so he can focus on the advanced students. But thanks for the vote of confidence, both of you.:: Phaezeriel returns the hug.
When the bell rings, he jerks a little, ::I am late! See you two at lunch!:: With that he focuses and disappears with a little popping sound.
Vai continues the psychic conversation as she hurries to her own next class. ::No... at least I don't think so? Sorry, I don't know much about psionics. Even if I'm not, James might be able to help in that regard... assuming you'll still need volunteers. I'd rather not rely on James to bend reality. He's working himself to the bone these days.::
Wyrd steps out of the wall into a basement room of the school. Seeing no one around, he reaches out to the earth and a chair grows from the floor for him to sit upon.
Well, at least the inside is a little better decorated. Could use some uniformity though. All the walls are different colours, to begin with, and the floor is... inflated? That would certainly explain the bounce in his step.
The young man... no older than 25 in human years, who opens the door to the school is dressed in robes that are painful to look at. Glaring neon colours, awkwardly combined. He has a spellbook in one hand, though rather than the usual dusty tome, it seems to be made up completely of thousands of sticky-notes put together to form pages, and then bound into the book through some strange magic. His hair is scruffy and unkempt, his beard is in the same shape. They aren't unclean, rather they seem to be cared for by a madman.
The man seems to bounce off the floor with every step, and is looking around at the walls with a strange mixture of curiosity and disdain.
As Phaezeriel pops out into the classroom, he splits his mind so that he can continue the conversation without being distracted from his fellow students.
Luckily Professor Nix was not in the classroom yet, and Phaezeriel started moving around the room activating the power matrices so that some of the more .. energetic .. disciplines could be practiced safely.
