Fools Paradise

3 Ch 3- Steel yourself.

Wittorf wakes up and notices he's in a comfortable bed. He turns over to face the window and sees that's it bright out. Realizing he must of slept the last day away he quickly stumbles out of bed in his clothes from before and straightens his short.

he then walks out the door into the hallway scratching the back of his head. As he looks around he notices kids in white robes, some with stripes of color wandering the halls quickly going to different rooms. Wittorf wonders how they keep the robes so clean. Most likely magic or a really good laundry room.

He begins to head towards the rest of the kids and spots Senya who is holding a clipboard and watching the students carefully. Wittorf quickly walks up to Senya.

"Good morning Mrs. Batel, where is my class today?"

"Morning Wittorf I hope your sleep went well, Lets have a look."

Senya looks through her clipboard and after flipping through a few pages spots his name. "Oh that's right you will be with Mr. Steel starting today. I would be careful he is very keen on first impressions and being late to his class would really put him in a bad mood. You can follow this hallway down to the end and his room will be on the left."

"You're the best Mrs. Batel, also when will I get my robes?"

"It's your first day so you should be getting your robes soon. Steel can explain it more when you get there. Hurry along now."

"Thanks Mrs. Batel!"

Wittorf runs off towards Steels classroom. He stops right at the door and can hear kids inside laughing and goofing off. He opens the door slowly and the room goes silent. All six kids stop what they are doing to look at the new student. Out of them, Caiman, is there and with a sigh he resumes reading his book.

Wittorf was anxious with all the eyes on him. He noticed a young boy with messy blond hair and freckles looks at him with a grin, a sword is resting by his desk. "That is odd" he thought to himself. "Why would a mage carry a sword around." The young man got up and began to head towards the newcomer.

"Welcome, you must be the new kid we heard about. The names Loat, if there's anything you need help with don't be afraid to ask!"

As Loat walks towards Wittorf he trips over his sword and begins to stumble towards the young boy. Wittorf winced as they quickly found themselves on the ground in a pile of limbs. One of the two girls, a young, long, blue haired girl with a robe a bit higher up than it probably should have been starts to giggle.

What appears to be her sister a short haired red head with a proper robe and beautiful red eyes looks worried as she stutters "A-are you two alright?"

Another boy, a brown haired boy with green eyes and a glowing smile quickly comes to their aid, extending his hand out to Wittorf.

"I, Diel, Will help you up. Please miss, may I have your name?"

Wittorf takes Diels hand and smiles. He had never been mistaken for a girl before but it makes sense with his long hair tied up in a pony tail and his soft features. He was surprised he was not mistaken more often now that he thought about it. "I appreciate the help but I'm a boy."

Diel quickly releases his grip on Wittorf and swings his arm up towards his head in a dramatic pose. Wittorf goes tumbling back into a recovering Loat.

"How could I have been fooled like that?"

Another boy with long smooth black hair and blue eyes comes up next to him with a deadpan expression. He puts his hand on Diels shoulder.

"It's alright Diel, I won't tell anyone you hit on boys now."

Diel cries silently to himself. Playing up the victim complex perfectly "Thanks Sedian what would I do without you."

Wittorf and Loat pick themselves up and dust themselves off. The young blue haired girl walks up to the dusty Mithril haired boy and gives him a flirty smile. He could tell that she was trouble but what kind he could not tell.

"Where did you come from?"

"I, uh, came from the orphanage, Lana's Orphanage."

The red headed girl speaks with a quiet mumble. Wittorf almost could not make out what she was saying at first.

"It's nice to meet you, my name is Sai and this is my sister Kai." Sai points to the flirty girl next to her.

Kai looks Wittorf up and down and smiles. "Do you know any magic?"

Wittorf shakes his head no. It's his first year of course he doesn't know any magic.

Caiman chimes in from his seat without looking up from his book. "Of course he doesn't know any magic, he's a lowly commoner."

Wittorf walks over to Caiman and stops just in front of him.

Caiman looks up from his book with a smug grin. What could this rat possibly do to him. "Am I wrong?"

Wittorf feels anger well up inside of himself. Caiman had been a thorn in his side since he first met him earlier. He goes to speak but is cut off by the opening of the classroom door. The older muscular man wears his short black hair in a high and tight, his white streak easily visible to everyone, his white tank top and camo pants in perfect condition.

"Everyone, in your seats, class is about to start."

Everyone shuffles around to their seats and gets quiet quickly. Wittorf can be seen shaking his leg up and down as he waits for Steel to begin his lecture. This was his first day in class and he was excited to finally start. But before that could start Steel had a plan.

"Before we begin, I need Wittorf to come front and center!"
