Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Same here." Kaosu nodded absent-mindedly, scratching his head. "If ya ever need anything just let me know, alright?" He smiled, setting his hands on his hips. "And I don't think Haro-senpai sounds very good. Maybe Kaosu-senpai, but not Haro. Nope, Haro's too casual."

He laughed, shoving an elbow at Haro. "Plus, he doesn't have the strength to back it up." He finished the sentence with a straight face, but his words were laced with sarcasm. "Especially against someone as..." Striking a pose, he flexed his arm muscles. "...positively muscular as me."

It was obvious Kaosu was in a playful mood. Probably because he actually had a better night's sleep, even though it was only about an hour long. It was enough to let him loosen up. More sleeping could happen later.

The appearance of the teacher amidst the students is somewhat sudden, as the woman with the fluttering haori and bright pink hair pulled back into a ponytail flashes a brief smile, arms folding over her chest, her hands tucking into the sleeves of her shinigami uniform. She's.. small. Almost childlike, very much like Nagi-sensei, but just slightly larger. And her haori actually fits her.

Those from Hakuda class would remember her. She was Korin.

"Instead of your usual classes at Sokyoku Hill, you will all be attending class at the Academy, in the Library. Your study will be on Kidou this time. We expect you all to have mastered at least two spells by the time class is over. Nagi-sensei will be joining you soon enough there, to assist in your learning," her hands unfolded briefly, and she pulled out a piece of paper.

"Due to the times of crisis, all students will be passing the academy at the end of the current studies. Those who missed initial classes, zanjutsu study, hohou, and hakuda, will have to make them up prior to being given their certification to become a shinigami," a slight nod, before the paper was tucked away again, and she started walking off, further into the dorms, to pass the message on to the other students who hadn't yet received it.

Masaru opened his eyes a bit and rolled onto his back. He had felt a strong reiatsu, though compressed, in the dormitories. It reminded him of the compressed reiatsu that he felt from the captains on the hill earlier in the day. He quickly stood up from his makeshift bed, and put his keikogi on quickly. As he slid the door open, he began to tuck it into his pants. He'd forgotten his waraji, but he didn't really mind walking bare-foot through the complex. He looked over the rail into the courtyard, and saw a congregation of students, so he decided to ask them. He descended to the first level and approached them, rolling up his sleeves to his shoulders.

"Hey guys, was there a captain just here? Because it felt like there was."

He looked around a bit, seeing if he could spot the noticeable white haori on a person that distinguished the captains from the rest of the shinigami.

Masaru looked down a bit to see the girl who had spoken to him. She was just as tall as one of his legs, and her blue buns of hair gave her an extra inch or two. He noticed her constantly rubbing the buns into her head, but didn't pay much mind to it.

"Well, did she say anything important to you guys?"

He hoped that the others would let him know, because he did not feel like tracking the captain down and bothering her for the information.

Masaru looked at the second person who spoke, who was a bit taller. He listened to what the student had to say, and nodded. His statements left a lot of questions unanswered to him, but all he needed to hear at this point was that the classes would be held in the Academy as opposed to Sokyoku Hill. He nodded, acknowledging that he understood him, and approached some of the other students. He saw Kaosu, and decided to ask what he thought of the lesson earlier in the day.

"Hey Kaosu, that hohou drill today was pretty tough, huh? I'd have thought a small guy like you could move a bit faster than that."

He chuckled a bit afterward, hoping that he knew that he was simply joking with him. But it could have been a touchy subject for him, too. It was a little too late to take back what he said, and hoped he wouldn't take it too seriously.

"Kidou huh?" Sakura thought about the two spells to be learned. He knew that since it's his first class he has to excel or else he would utterly fail everything. After fetching his zanpaktou from his room he began to walk towards the academy.

Haruko held her right hand infront of her, with her left hand around it's wrist. To start, she would use the other hand to help the reiatsu flow into her hand (in theory). She closed her eyes and concentrated as hard as she could, pushing all the reiatsu she could into her right hand. She could feel it building up, although not quite as much as she wanted. She continued building up as much as she could for a few moments, but it wasn't having much effect. She opened her eyes, being sure to keep her concentration. Her hand appeared normal at first, but slowly she could make out thin, sky blue streaks here and there. She had built up enough reiatsu that it has barely started to show, and just in places at a time. She sighed, and released the reiatsu she had stored up in her hand back into her body. It was a start, but it was nowhere near good enough yet.
