"How nice it was for Mr Ashley for being so nice to us, feeding us and even helping us . " Helen said as we began walking around the courtyard .
"Yeah . . . . aside form Emilia . . . we are all pretty much strangers . " Jay agreed .
" . . . To be honest we aren't really close either . . . I only met him earlier this week . . . . . I guess because Paul and I are friends . . . . . through associations I'm friends as well . . . . . " I shrugged as we walked around the courtyard .
"Let's just take a seat here . . . lying down on the grass staring into the sky .
"I'll join you . " Grace said taking a sitting beside Jay .
"So guys . . . . . " I asked sitting beside Jay, "Have you guys killed anyone? . . . " I asked .
"Nope not me . . . . I've seen lots of death and injustice . . . though . . . " Jay said with a huge sigh .
"Me and Helen witnessed the barbaric nature of orcs . . . and goblins and kobolds . . . . " Grace answered .
"I was raised in a cult worshiping a dark God . . . " Daisy said .
" . . . . . . mine was peaceful . . . . . " I replied .
"Peaceful? . . . Mine and Helens was kidna peaceful . . . " Grace said .
" . . . . . where I'm from everyone is kinda more civil . . . so I've never really ever got in a serious fight with someone . . . . . or been ina life of death situation . . . " I explained .
"That's so fascinating . . . . I wonder what it's like to feel safe, walking around with no worry of imminent death by something like Giants or . . . . Wyverns . . . " Jay said .
"Yeah . . . . do you think we can ever visit there? . . . " Daisy asked looking hopeful .
"I would love you guys to . . . . . but . . . . we don't have blue skinned humans with horns . . . or elves walking around . . so you guys would be alien . . . . . we only have humans back where I am . " I replied .
"What is Alien? . . " Helen asked .
"Alien is someone who isn't native to our home plane? . . . " I replied lost on how to explain it to them .
"Yeah but it will be alright . . . . your home is safe . . . . we're just a little different . . . " Daisy replied .
"Ummm . . . . yeah . . . . . but generally most people aren't friendly to . . . . abnormal things . . . " I replied to them trying to make it sound polite .
"Well that sucks . . . . " Daisy sighed .
"Wait does that mean I can go? . . " Jay asked .
"Yeah you can . . . . . aside from Casting spells you'll be like me considered normal . . " I answered .
"Thats awesome!" He said with a giant smile .
"Nah . . . . if you can't go if we can't . " Daisy and Helen said looking slightly aggravated and jealous .
"Doesn't really matter anyways . . . . . not like i can go home to be honest . " I said ripping a hand full of grass from the soil .
"Yah you're right . . . . plane traversing warp gates are reserved for Diplomats and Royalties only . . . " Helen said with a sigh .
"Aren't your families pretty noble? . . " Jay asked Helen and Grace .
"Yeah they are . . but even then they aren't allowed . . only members of the high council are allowed . " Grace said .
"I see . . . " Jay said nodding in understanding
" . . . . So what was the special training Paul taught you? . . . " Grace asked Daisy .
"It's simple really . . . Pushups till your body gives out . . . . . then Squats till your body gives out . . . . . then running till you cant run no more . . . . " she said with a smile .
" . . . . . . . is that it? . . " Grace replied .
"Yup" Daisy replied still smiling .
"you sure? . . " Jay questioned sounding very skeptical .
"Positive . " Daisy replied still smiling her face filled with pride .
We all remained silent for a little, wondering if she was joking or being serious . . . . but her reaction seemed so genuine that it felt serious and true, but there must be more to it . . . . .
"Yup!" He said like a house . . . . you need to have strong foundations to be strong . " She said with a giant smile .
"He's kinda got a point . . . " Jay said after hearing her explain it .
"I wonder how strong our opponents are . . . . " Grace said .
"Yep . . . . aside from our inital grading . . . we don;t quite know the power levels to rank ratio in Atlantis . " Jay agreed .
"Yeah . . . hope Ashley comes through in helping us, otherwise we're gonna be going in blind . " Grace said looking a little anxious .
"I swear . . . . . I'm gonna challenge Calista after my duel and smash her pretty face with my maul!" Daisy said furiously raising her hand up in a closed fist .
"Maybe . . . . we shouldn't be so quick to judge . . . . for all you know it might not be her doing . . . " Grace said thinking rationally .
As the sun began to set the courtyard became noticeably more and more busier as it appeared as students has started to make their way back from their outings . Looking closer some students had either a Phoenix, Hydra or Dragon tattoo located on different regions on the body . . . . ranging from hands, arms, shoulders, legs and chest . Aside from carrying weapons and the fantasy style fashion everything looked rather normal . Students walking around in groups taking to one another . It was interesting looking at them from afar, looking at their equipment, one woman had an awesome looking ornate book attached to her hip, along with a very beautiful black leather gloves with a faint rune in the center .
"Hold on one second . . . my Eye sight is perfect . . . . . " I said noticing I could see things clearly far away .
"Somewhere in this school . . . . are the people who challenged us . . . " Grace said looking around scanning the crowd .
"Yup and its a good chance . . . they know who we are . . . . and we don't know them . . . " Jay added .
"Yup . . . . . all we have is a name sadly . . . and no face to the name . . . so best to just relax . . " Helen said lying down next to Jay .
"I still don't like the idea that they may be watching us . . " Grace replied .
"You really need to chill out . . . " Helen said to Grace .
"I think you take things way too casually Helen, what if they are studying us right now . . . . watching our every move . " Grace replied .
"They aren't gonna see anything just us lying here talking . " Helen replied .
"Yeah but they can spend the rest of the week watching our every move . " Grace said .
"I'm sure it will be alright . . . and on top I'm sure they cant spy on us when we are in Paul's Training room . " Helen said still relaxing .
"What ever . . . . I still don't like it . . . . " Grace replied still looking for anyone suspicious .
The familiar bell sound rang in our heads letting us know it was time for dinner . "Ohhh looks like it's time to discover what House we are in . " Jay said getting responding to the bell .
"I can already feel it!!! I'm defiantly gonna be a dragon!" Daisy said standing up .
"Hey Emilia? . . . . what house do you wanna be in? . . . " Helen asked .
"Hmmmm I think I'll be a Phoenix . . . " I said remembering what Paul said to me but a small part of me wanted to be in the same house Paul was . "How about you guys? . . " I asked .
"Hmmmm . . . . Phoenix sounds good to me . . . " Jay and Helen replied .
"Kraken here . " Grace said which shocked most of us except for Helen .
"Whats wrong with Kraken? . . " Grace asked .
"Ohhh . . . . because Helen wants to be in Phoenix . . . . and you know we've been such a awesome group thought we would like to be together . . . " I replied .
" . . . . . Well . . . . Daisy . . . wants to be in Dragon . " Grace quickly retorted .
"I think she wants to be in Kraken the same reason Daisy want's to be in Dragon . . . " Helen said nudging me .
"Ohhhh I seee!!!" I said understanding what Helen said .
"I hate you sometimes Helen!" Grace said looking extremely anger and embarrassed .
"You know . . . Travis is like . . . . the . . . . . Hit it and Quit it type of dude . . . . " Jay said .
"Yeah . . . . . Boys like his are nothing but trouble . " I said agreeing with Jay .
"Yeah but have you seen him?!!! He's so dreamy . . . . . " Grace said daydreaming just at the mention of him .
"You know there's a reason why there are rumors going around that he doesn't ever spend more then two days with a girl . . . " Helen said to Grace looking cross .
"yeah . . but . . . . but . . . . . " She said unable to give a proper reply .
