45 Exploring

Message From Art:

Yo, I'm back. The schedule'll be returning to what it was before which was Friday 3PM GMT, also, because I'm in a really important year for my exams the times for these will be reduced to one every 2 weeks, I am really sorry about this but I have to focus on other things for now.

With Evie and Terrin on the ground exhausted, Xion quickly calculated how long it would take for the remaining introductions to be done, along with Sora and his friends as well as all of the noticeably powerful figures that had shown off their power their time for their first day was quickly running out.

With the constant excitement that this first day had held it wasn't strange that time had passed so quickly for all the students but due to so many fights breaking out there was a small number of people who had not introduced themselves, about 20 people at most.

With a clap that resounded throughout the entire hall. Xion captured the attention of all the students as Terrin and Evie walked back to their seats.

Xi: "Sadly we're going to have to end our first day off here."

"Huh?!"

"Why?! we still have time!"

The students began to speak against Xion but she didn't get frustrated, she understood that most of the students probably weren't paying attention to the time. She kept calm as she looked around at the students who did pay attention to the time who were packing their things to leave.

Xi: "Due to the exciting events of today it seems like alot of you have misjudged the times."

Atop the lecture hall was a flat square formed with spatial magic that switched colours dependent on the time of day, at the start of the day it had been glowing an orange hue but now it was a dark and vibrant blue. After visually confirming it for themselves the students stopped speaking back.

Xi: "Alright, for a first day I'd say we laid out the general hierarchy. Now do understand, I didn't lay this out for those with less power to be discouraged, I also didn't do this to give those with higher power an ego boost. This is all so that those at the lower levels have role models to build themselves up towards, even if some of the people here have extremely unique traits."

Xion looked towards Sora and Evie.

Xi: "We'll finish off introductions next session, then after that..."

Xion seemed to be puzzled by what she would do next session then quickly waved her hand.

Xi: "Eh, I'll think of something."

Almost all the students were shocked. So unprofessional! But none of them dared to say anything due to Xion's level of power. All of them just kept their opinions to themselves, with some even favouring this carefree nature.

Xi: "Alright, class dismissed."

With that final statement a flash of purple light seemed to blind all the students and in a second, Xion was completely gone from the stage. As the students began to stand up from their seats multiple conversations started and the silence from Xion disappearing quickly faded.

"Man she's a show off."

"I mean she is a teacher."

"Yeah but at least she's not a student, imagine competing against that..."

"True enough. But it's not like we don't have our hands full, Terrin and Evie were insane."

"You serious? Sora and his pet are seriously unfair!"

"Yo shut up he might hear you!"

"Seems like a cool guy though, don't think he would care even if he heard us."

"Yeah but Terrin might! I don't wanna die here you know!"

As the students began to move Sora and the rest still sat down, not because they were patiently waiting but because they were watching how the others were getting out of the lecture hall as they didn't know how to get out, there were others that were also waiting to see scattered around the hall.

The crowd of students began moving towards the back where they had all been teleported in by the spatial sprites and just began being surrounded by dark energy before suddenly disappearing into thin air. The method seemed to be a simple one if the students doing it were so calmly disappearing.

In: "Oh, we just get teleported out? That's convenient."

Indy assumed, this belief quickly spread to the rest of the group.

Em: "I was getting scared for a moment, I've been glancing around every now and again looking for an exit but never found one. I guess the amount of magic being used here just gives students as much help as possible."

So: "Yeah, it's real cool."

Sora, quickly followed by his friends stood up. As they walked to the pathways leading to the back of the room Indy, who was behind Sora and Emphillia, felt a tap on his shoulder, as he turned to look behind him his vision was filled with the familiar red face.

In: "Oh, hey Phi."

Ph: "Hi!"

Sora and Emphillia looked towards the familiar voice.

So: "Sup, did you need something?"

Ph: "Actually yes, I was wondering if you were willing to walk with me around the school. I have yet to familiarise myself with the surroundings and if you're free, I would appreci-"

So: "Sure."

Sora turned and began walking towards the back of the room where multiple students had already left.

Phi was startled momentarily by how fast his answer was.

So: "Lets go."

Sora had already walked a small distance away from the group.

In: "So impatient..."

Em: "Haven't you gotten used to it already?"

Indy and Emphillia began to trail behind him, leaving Phi behind. After recovering from her momentary pause she scuttled her way towards them.

After a violent flash of purple lightning and a few seconds of what, around them, seemed to be a tunnel that's features had been blurred by the speed that they were travelling, they reappeared not at their homes where they had been teleported from, but the giant town that was directly below the Starseeker School, the exact place where Sora had been just days ago for the first time.

So: "Huh, so it does work like I thought."

Sora assumed that whatever he thought of when teleporting would be where he would end up.

So: "Oh, wait!"

Sora facepalmed.

So: "Phi said the school..."

Sora debated how to return to his friends, he had no idea where in the school they had teleported to now.

Ma: "Where'd you wanna go?"

So: "Huh?!"

Sora looked around him and found a small black orb floating near him.

So: "Mana? How are you here?"

Ma: "Well how else do you think you can teleport when I'm not around? Even the multitude of spacial magic users cant manage this many people's teleportations, so us sprites stay with our owners at all times. I've been with you since we teleported out your room."

So: "Really? Well that's useful."

Quickly getting back to the problem at hand.

So: "Well I don't know how to get to my friends... I don't know where they are."

Ma: "Oh that's easy, give me a second."

Sora looked at Mana with expectant eyes as they both were silent for a short time.

Ma: "Okay, prepare yourself."

So: "Wha-"

Almost instantly Sora found himself in the same purple tunnel that was speeding past him before his vision quickly switched to the large corridor where multiple students were travelling through. Sora was completely caught off guard by this instantanous teleportation. Behind him was a familiar voice.

Em: "Sora?"

Sora turned around and saw that Emphillia, Indy and Phi were together.

So: "Oh, well I guess Mana did it..."

Mana came out from seemingly thin air and floated next to him.

Ma: "Just some pointers, us sprites are able to communicate with each other and can send direct messages to teleport ourselves to each other along with our owners. But don't think we have infinite energy, we really only have enough to teleport 3 times a day, if we rest inbetween them we can do more but don't think you can overuse us within short periods of time..."

Sora put his thumb up.

So: "Alright! Well you can rest now at least."

After confirming that Sora understood Mana disappeared.

So: "So he must have contacted your sprite, Phi."

Phi, Emphillia and Indy looked confused.

In: "Um, he?"

Em: "Mana?"

Sora looked confused now.

So: "What? What about him? Don't you guys have Mana's of your own?"

Em: "Well, yes but... you named yours?"

So: "Yeah? Why? Didn't you guys do it?"

In: "Well... no..."

So:" What? Why not? They're your important partners you know, they do alotta stuff for us so why can't we treat em like friends?"

Indy and Emphillia looked at each other, their visible confusion slowly turning into happy expressions.

In: "You make friends of anything don't you... Well I guess it can't be helped."

Em: "They are cute if you really think about it..."

From behind them Phi was chuckling.

Ph: "You're a very interesting group, especially you Sora."

So: "Hm?"

Sora was confused but quickly smiled.

So: "Hehe... it's just the way I am."

Phi chuckled again.

Ph: "Well I hope you stay that way."

The group quickly began to move around the school, fulfilling their promise to walk around with Phi. Unlike Sora, Emphillia and Indy, Phi was not used to social interaction with others so there were many situations were they had misunderstandings with other groups that Sora and Indy quickly defused whilst Emphillia and Phi chuckled silently to themselves.

Eventually the group found themselves leaving the school and finding themselves in the town where Sora previously found himself in, they walked through the fountain that multiple people had congregated at previously during the entrance exams and Sora was met with a confusing sight.

So: "Um... guys..."

Sora pointed towards the fountain. The group stopped and looked towards the fountain, with all of them showing looks of confusion.

So: "What is..."

Towards the fountain there were multiple female students gathered around with a familiar blue cat in the middle being showered with compliments and comfort.

So: "Rin... doing there..."

Rin was purring and enjoying herself, sensing that Sora was nearby she slowly stood up from her laid down position and jumped down from the fountain rushing towards Sora's shoulder, quickly jumping up on it.

So: "Wait... don't tell me we teleported without you."

Rin licked her paw and washed her face with it, before shaking her head and giving a neutral expression to Sora.

So: "Well as long as you enjoyed yourself..."

The group of female students watched as the cat they had been petting for a long time suddenly stood up and walked towards Sora, some of them recognised him as the boy who put up a decent fight against their new teacher and began to slowly huddle around him, separating him from his group.

"Hey, aren't you Sora?"

"What?! I heard about you from them! You fought a teacher already?"

"Did he do that?!"

"Yeah! It wasn't even a total loss either!"

As the group of students talked to each other, the topic of the conversation, Sora, stood without knowing how to respond. Indy teleported behind him surprising the surrounding students and whispered to Sora.

In: "It was a total loss though..."

Indy teleported back to Emphillia and Phi. Sora was shocked that that was all Indy had to say after teleporting in.

So: "Seriously... I thought he'd have something helpful to say..."

"Huh?"

"What did that boy say?"

"Oh! That was Indy! Is he just as powerful as you are?"

"Yeah I saw him fighting with you!"

"How do you control both light and darkness?"

"What's your pets name?"

"Is your pet just as powerful as you?"

"How much circles did you get in the test?"

Sora's head was swirling at all the questions being thrown at him, looking around he found no way to escape as he had been surrounded.

So: "Um... I-"

Before Sora could speak any further a flash of blue light striked right in front of him, with a miniature swirling snowstorm quickly following after it, inside of the foggy blue snow he saw a sillhouette that seemed to be twirling around a spear, it jumped up and rested itself on top of the spear.

As the snow cleared away the small amount of space that Sora previously had found himself in was now a large space seemingly cleared by a floor of ice, the ice slowly melted away as the group of students as well as Indy and the others had reacted and jumped from it.

In the middle of this now clear circular space was Sora and a male student dressed in blue, he had blonde hair and blue eyes and he was currently positioning himself above a spear made of ice that he had pierced the floor with. As he effortlessly balanced himself atop his spear in a crouched position looking down on Sora, his eyes glimmered with a faint light as a smile appeared on his face. The boy seemed to be excited as he spoke.

?: "Hi. You had quite the introduction today."

The boy tilted himself forward falling off the spear, as he did so he grabbed the shaft and pulled it out of the ground, flipping forward as his feet landed on the ground with no difficulty. With no stop to this nimble action he quickly pulled himself from his landing position into a battle stance where he had used a single arm to point the tip of the spear towards Sora.

?: "I want to test that strength for myself."

With the tip of the spear pointed to him Sora had found himself in yet another strange situation, but he welcomed the oppurtunity to fight much more than answering a number of questions. With a smile on his face he readied himself.

So: "No breaks on my first day huh? You don't mind if Rin joins do you?"

The other boy pulled back his spear and spun it around himself, moving it from one arm to the other before moving his body to make the left side face towards Sora, with the spear being held behind him in his right arm, his left arm in front of him glowing with a slightly blue glow, a cold icy fog slowly falling from it.

?: "Of course not, it just makes more practice for me."

So: "Well... there's something you may not have seen during introductions..."

Sora smiled as a ball of darkness and light coalesced in his right arm.

The boy with the spear showed a hint of confusion and intrigue.

With a flash of light, a bow appeared in Sora's hand as he aimed an arrow of light towards the boy.

So: "Didn't expect this did ya?!"

Not letting the boy in front of him breath, Sora fired the arrow of light and as it sped forward, the boy immediately switched to a defensive position before the arrow hit him, as it did there was an explosion of light, followed by a blue fog that completely covered where the boy stood.
