When the others began to file into the next gym like building, Azure slipped in, seeing the others look over at him, and he felt shame in his loss. He didn't really know how to face Asami now, and was truthfully questioning his own talents.

The second gym was a bit different from the first one they had encountered today, though bleachers yet again were pulled out. Sia pulled asami towards the back row where not many people were sitting. She was tittering about random things like the sky and the weather. Asami wondered if she would ever fall silent and was granted that wish when a shadow had fallen over her. She looked up and Phoebe was standing in front of her looking haughty. "Hello asami." She greated the girl firmly then in a swooping motion took the seat directly in front of her.
asami squeeked out a small hello but Phoebe didn't seem to notice or care. Sia seemed a little frightened of the exotic bird lady and remained silent for a while.

"Geez, what crawled up your butt and died?" Zeno asked Phoebe, sitting next to her, seeing she wasn't in the best of moods at the moment.
Sighing, Azure took a seat away from them for a bit, deciding he wanted to be alone for this class as their new female teacher walked into the gym.

Phoebe stiffened "I do not trust the white haired male. I just thought if we stuck together we would be stronger." She nodded to Zeno. "Don't you agree?"
Asami mulled this over "well.. I mean yeah but when we are paired up with him in that class how will being a team be an asset?"
Phoebe looked grim "lets just hope that doesn't happen. Oh by the way. I noticed our little blue haired friend is feeling better but he doesn't seem to want to join us.. he must be embarrassed poor thing"
Asami felt a jolt. So she did see him earlier.. why didn't he want to sit with them then. She looked around and spotted him all the way across the bleachers. She sighed.

"Hmmm, I can see that. I would be embarrassed too if I got knocked out in front of the entire class..." Zeno said, sighing a little bit before the teacher hushed them all.
"Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to Abilities class. I am Mrs. Lecher and I will be your instructor for this year, pleased to meet you all." she told the class, smiling friendly towards all of them.
"Here in this class, its a bit different that your Training class. Here, your work on developing your races specific abilities and attributes, and learn how to apply them in either everyday situations, or actual combat if you prefer." she told them.

Asami stole glances down the bleachers to where azure was located every once in a while during the teachers speach. She was listening but she had a hard time focusing because her atttention was elsewhere. She wished azure wasn't embarrassed, it really was no big deal.

"Now, are there any volunteer's?" Mrs. Lecher asked happily, looking around a little bit. "How about you?" she asked, pointing to Zeno, who looking around for a moment, before nodding and stood up, heading down there towards the teacher.

Again another demonstration. Asami hoped this one would go a lot better than the last. this day already seemed too long. She watched Zeno walk down the bleachers with ease and hoped for the best. Soon it would be free time and no more classes for the day.

"So, can you tell me your name and race, please?" she asked him, and Zeno nodded. "My name is Zeno, and I am a werewolf." he told her before she smiled and nodded. "Are you able to transform of your own free will?" she asked him before he sighed and shook his head. "Only partially." he told her and she gave him a nod. "Thats something we will be working on today then, getting you to do so without the full moon."

For some reason asami expected Zeno to be super powerful and able to transform on his own free will so this was a shocker. In front of her Phoebe muttered "so not as bad ass as you claim" asami smiled slightly. It seems as though those two where meant to be at each others throats. If only she could get past the sheer annoyingness of it, it might be funny or comforting... gosh I'm having weird thoughts again. Asami looked over to find azure once more. Was it just her imagination or did he seem to move every time she looked at him..?

"Alright, show me just how much you are able to transform." she told Zeno, and he nodded before he began to concentrate, his hands turning into sharp claws, and his teeth becoming serrated fangs, his eyes changing color to that of a sharp yellow. "This is it..." he told her, and she nodded, getting a good look at him. "Good, thats a good start." she told him before she explained a more efficient way for him to transform, conserving energy to focus on the other parts of his body.

Most people payed attention to zenos transformation,especially all the other werewolves in the class. Werewolfs, asami decided, freaked her out. It looked painful when they transformed like that and the way their eyes glowed was freaky. Learning about other creatures and watching them was.going to be interesting but strange.

It took Zeno a good three minutes but he managed to form his tail for the first time, along with his ears and had a bit of fur going too. "See? Now all you need is a little bit of practice, and you will have it in no time." the teacher told him, smiling and Zeno nodded, happy with his progress.

Most people applauded Zeno on the transformation, knowing how hard it is themselves a few others looked bored. Asami gave Zeno a tight smile, she was happy for him but also afraid. He looked rather terrifying caught inbetween the transformation. She would just forget about this all together..

Smiling, Mrs. Lecher sent Zeno back to his seat after he transformed back to his human state, and he sat back down next to Phoebe, and smirked at her. "See, I'm the best." he told her, smiling.
"Would anyone else like to give it a try?" the teacher asked, wanting someone to actually come up on their own now.

Phoebe rustled her feathers a little "a little furr and glowling eyes? I see nothing important in that. I will show you something magnificent" She stood up proudly and made her way down to the front. "I will volunteer"

"Thank you very much." Mrs. Lecher said, smiling brightly towards her student. "Might I have your name please?" she asked her, wanting to learn the names of her students as quickly as she could.

"My name is Phoebe fennick. I am half phoenix. I have a few different powers but I would like to demonstrate two of them. Phoenix's are notorious for their ability to breathe fire. That would be one I would like to showcase, if possible. I wont burn anything" she crossed her arms haughtily

"Sure, by all means, go right ahead." Mrs. Lecher told her, seeing her enthusiasm. Zeno made sure to watch closely, wanting to see what the little chicken could do with her own abilities. "Just make sure you don't burn anything though." she reminded Phoebe.

Phoebe nodded towards the teacher and took off her veil casting it aside. The half bird took off into the air creating a gust behind her, once she reached a certain point she stopped and made a graceful circle, her beak opened and golden flames flew out to create a ring of fire. The phoenix flew backwards a little then shot forward at top speed through the ring, but something strange happened. At the exact point of her hitting the ring, there looked to be an explosion. It was blindingly bright and a few people blinked a few times to clear their vision. Once they regained their vision they were confused for Soaring up above was a beautiful golden red phoenix. The bird screeched loudly and landed by the teacher, another bright flash and there was Phoebe, several people gasped. She turned to the teacher "I haven't mastered fully becoming human yet but in my island that is not required. And it takes a lot of energy to, but I would like to learn how if possible." She flapped her wings and embers flew off them slowly spiralling to the floor and sizzled out. "I have always wanted to feel my human lips and fingers.. and it would be nice to know my natural eye color" she held out her talons. "Of course I love them but it would be easier to hide from the poachers." Her face hardened slightly.

"Very impressive!" the teacher told her as she began to clap, and the students in the stands began to join in as well except for Zeno. "Damn showoff..." he grumbled under his breath.
"I can certainly work with you on your human transformation. With your skill, it should take long at all." Mrs. Lecher told her before allowing her to sit down.
"Alright, we have time for one more person before the bell rings....how about you, with the white hair?" she asked, pointing to Taki, having been called on for the second time today, and it made Azure shudder slightly.

Phoebe nodded once more at the teacher and made her way back to Zeno "don't worry pup we were forced to learn how to transform from abvery young age. The process was hard and painful but it is nothing now." She. Turned her attention to watch the white haired male make his way down like most of the students. You could feel the whole room tense up.

"Please, if you would so kindly tell me your name?" Mrs. Lecher asked and Taki finally spoke once more. My name is Takitae Mitsuhashi...and I am a demon." he told her and she smiled and nodded. "Would you care to demonstrate what you are able to do?" she asked and Taki nodded once before moving away from her and the students.
There, Taki took his stance, putting his arms to his side and clinched his fists, the wind beginning to pick up slightly, and his energy now clearly visible.
Some of the magic users in the stands could feel the amount of energy and power he was starting to put out, beginning to think this teen was a monster.
Soon, Taki began to shout loudly, and his power continued to rise as his tattoo crept up to his face now, a pair of black horns popping out of his head and curved backward, his hands becoming sharp claws, his teeth now becoming sharp, canine like teeth and his body becoming more muscular.
It wasn't long until his red eyes began to glow and a single black wing spread from his back as he continued to shout, his power shooting through the roof, and finally, he silenced, breathing heavily as he stood there, his bright red aura around his transformed body.

Asami could feel the dark magic leak out of his body. She felt contaminated with his aura. She gave a slight shiver "do you feel that? She whispered to Zeno Phoebe and Sia. It makes me feel dirty like I need to take a long hot shower" she shivered again and wrapped her arms around her body.

"A-Astonishing!" the teacher said, amazed at the amount of energy he was putting out, knowing this boy was one of the strongest first years there, if not, THE strongest.
"I don't think being on his bad side is a good thing..." Zeno said, though,he wasn't able to feel the darkness of his aura. The whole room tensed completely as they looked at the white haired male, and Azure couldn't believe he got off with just getting knocked out. This guy could have killed him if he wanted.
Soon, the bell rang, and Taki reverted back to normal before the teacher let the students head on out. "See everyone tomorrow." she told them, knowing it was the final class of the day.

When the teacher released them Asami rushed forward almost tripping and grabbed azures arm, she knew the others might follow her so she had only a few moments l. "Hey .. are you avoiding me?"

"A-Asami?" he asked her, a little startled that she had grabbed his arm, but he shook his head. "N-No, I'm not..." he told her, but tried to look away. "I'm just a little ashamed is all..." he told her, not wanting to speak more on it with everyone around.

She watched him closely "don't worry" she gave him a tight smile before the others caught up. Sia squeeked and gave asami a tight hug
"don't you leave again. I thought I lost you!" She exclaimed loudly. "I was worried!!"
Asami cast an exasperated glance at azure "well I was trying to catch him"
Sia smiled up at azure "hello!" She waved vigorously. Phoebe eyed Sia apparently not liking the way the girl acted.
"So azure. Are you okay?" Phoebe asked in a weirdly concerned voice.

"H-Hello..." Azure said, a little taken aback by the overly excited girl who had come over. Just looking at her made him a little exhausted, just wanting this bad day to end.
Though, he looked over at Phoebe as she came over and he nodded. "I'm alright, I suppose."

Sia rushed forward and hugged azure "we will be best friends!" Her eyes seemed to sparkle as she said this. Asami just sighed.. this girl would kill her with her perky attitude. She just knew it.
Phoebe gave azure a weird look. "You need to rest little one. How about we walk you to your dorm."
Asami blushed a little she didn't think going near the male dorm would be appropriate for girls but she wanted to make sure azure would.be okay.

"I-I guess so..." he told Sia, her perkiness too much for him at the moment when he was feeling down. "T-Thanks Phoebe, I think you are right." he told her, not minding them walking him back to his dorm, or minded Zeno joining them.
"Hey, feeling better, guy?" Niah asked, walking over to him and lightly punched his shoulder. "Y-Yes, thank you." Azure told her.

Sia beamed brightly then turned her attention to niah "will you be my friend too?!"
Asamis head started to ache some more, it still had the bump. "I might go straight to my dorm if that's fine..." she didn't want to tell them that going to the boys dorm would embarrass her, thinking this the blush burned brighter.
"Okay we will go without you.." she turned to go out the door waiting for the others to follow.

"Alright...seeya you Asa..." Azure told her, sighing a little before following Phoebe and Zeno out.
"Um...sure?" Niah told Sia, seeing the girl was pretty hyper, thinking she would be a pretty interesting person to say the least. Though now, she wondered who was paired with who, and who was paired with Taki.

Asami left quickly, after leaving the gym she decided she would take a walk around the grounds for a little while then go to her dorm. She did not however expect to run straight into someone. She fell down with an 'off' and hastened to say sorry "sorry" she looked up to see a male with white hair..

Sia smiled brightly once more "okay lets go take azure to his room!" She grabbed azure and Phoebe and started pulling them along not checking to see if the others were following

Takitae moved slightly at the impact of the collision and turned around before turning around and looked down at Asami with that same, cold stare he gave everyone. "You should be more careful..." he told her with no emotion, extending his hand.

Azure walked with them, with Zeno and Niah in tow, following after them towards the male freshman dorm, seeing everyone now either just hanging around, doing their own thing with their friends, or heading back to their dorms. "What are the chances one of you lovely ladies walking me to my room?" Zeno asked smirking a little.

"I'm sorry" her voice was small, but she grabbed his hand and pulled herself up blushing extremely."I'm just really...clumsy..." she felt so awkward being around him but at this moment she couldn't feel any of that dark energy and that made her feel better.

Sia looked excited "can I!!" She rushed over and grabbed his hand "ive never seen a males room before."
Phoebe made a weird noise that sounded slightly like a growl. "Sia. No." She gave Zeno a cold stare. "Don't use this littlest ones innocence against her."

"Don't worry about it..." he told her after he helped her up. "Just make sure you watch where your are going." he told her before beginning to walk off and make his way back to the dorms to shower before dinner.

"You buzzkill..." Zeno mumbled, a little annoyed with Phoebe, seeing her ruining a lot of his potential pick ups.
Azure sighed a little as they made it to the building and he began to make it to his room.

She watched him leave feeling a weird sensation. Maybe this guy wasn't that bad. So acting on impulse she yelled out "hey!" And ran after him. "Did you maybe want to join my group for dinner?"

Sia looked confused. "But I want to go!!" She looked at Zeno pleadingly "pllleeaaasseee let me go!"

Takitae looked back at her for a moment, a little confused as she asked him that question. "Huh? Didn't I beat your boyfriend up though?" he asked her, wondering why she wanted him there for dinner.

"Of course you can come..." he told her, smiling brightly towards her, wanting to keep her pace for a bit. "Its right down here." he told her, pointing to the end of the hall after Azure reached his own room.

The girls face heated up. "B-b-boyfriend?" Oh God she was embarrassed. She never had a boyfriend before ever. " wh-what..." she couldn't think of what to say.

Phoebe made sure azure entered his room before following Sia to make sure nothing bad would happen

"Oh my gosh I am so excited. A boys room! This is too awesome" Sia was bouncing around
