The epithet was called briefly and swiftly Elijah turned to the familiar voice, grinning from ear to ear as he saw Jaden come up. He waved in response at first, unsure of what to say in such a hectic moment where emotions were flaring and patience burning away as fast as the fire itself was spreading. The brunette looked to the young blond and started, "Jaden! Are you alright?" He seemed alright to the boy, but he felt it was appropriate to ask at that moment in time. "Oh, thank you," he also added noticing the blond starting to assist with the back burn.
And with the others he looked up, staring at the center of the commotion. His eyes me with the same target as the rest of the people looking on, More, and like the others his breath caught in question not understanding what had happened and more importantly, how? It was a curious thing no doubt, but could they answer it now? Did they have the time?

Dante's smile was just as challenging and fierce as Ardanay's, his mouth curled up into a smirk in a brief moment of palpable, solid emotion.
Then it was gone, blue eyes narrowing as his head snapped up and focused on More. "Very well, then," he said, walking forward. He did not delegate to the other teachers what they were to do--he trusted them to do as they saw the most fit, and thought that at least one of them would want to stay outside to watch the teachers. Perhaps Greg - the man was in no state to enter a burning building.
He came level with More, not meeting the other student's eyes as he looked into the inferno. "It's hot," Dante said. "Though that might just be the sensitivity of my skin talking. Do you really think we'll be able to walk through that?"

Alexander looked up at the boy like he was growing an arm out of his head. He understood about only half the words Micajah had said, but the little Russian did his best to smile and nod during the pauses. Finally, he stopped and Sasha grinned wider, hoping his attitude fit the context.
He was relieved when the boy began talking about his brother, something he could easily relate to. "Uhh yeah--yes... He's eh a few seconds older than me and I... I don't know where he is... I've been looking for him, but--" Shrugging, Alex leaned to the right to watch the commotion by the door as one student he had never seen before broke through the door like tissue paper.
Holy cheese and crackers. Was that safe?
He stood up as another student, apparently Zhi's brother or something, began gathering them together to help. He dusted off his butt and his precious rabbit fur hat and followed Micajah and the others around Wei, holding onto his fur hat anxiously.

...what...was that?
Herei had been intrigued by More since the moment they met...but this? He just knocked down a flaming gate and no harm fell upon him. Nothing! Not even a scratch! He didn't really have time to gawk, Dante calling him back to the world of the advisor. Well, the students were handling the back burn.
"Let's, indeed," he agreed with a smile. Well, if no one else was going in...Herei stepped through the gates cautiously. Oh, what a day to be wearing robes.
It took a lot of while not to leap to his feet as More busted down the doors like some sort of comic book super hero. Damn. Damn! And there went the teachers, marching in like they should. Students scattered and began to contain the backburn Herei had started. Good for them, but. But. He had a promise to keep. He leaned over and kissed RuiZhi gently on the temple before getting to his feet. He was going to go in. Screw what the teachers said. When did he listen to rules, anyways?
...if More could do it...so could he. If More could save the day, so could he!
So could he. Scyeth twisted and looked around. "Weiyuan!" He waved down his Eternal Rival before turning to the student he'd fondly dubbed Little Russia. He still wasn't sure what the boy's name was, but that was a minor detail. He was with Weiyuan, killing two birds one stone. He jogged over. "Wei, do me a favor and watch RuiZhi." He turned to the little Russian student. "Hey. Kid. Can I borrow your shirt for a few minutes?' he asked before adding, "Please?"

Oh lord, why was that blond kid looking at him. Why was he coming over here?! Alex was paralyzed with fear like a deer caught in the headlights. He just stared back, mouth ajar and slowly looked up at the boy who towered over him.
"... W-What...?" Oh he had heard, he just couldn't believe it. "My shirt?" Why did he want his shirt? It was his shirt! It probably wouldn't even fit him right.
But he was really intimidating. He looked to the other students who were just as shirtless as he. "Uhmm... okay..." He put his hat on firmly and grabbed the hem of his baseball shirt and pulled it off with little struggle. And now his skin felt like it was crisping. Great. He handed it over reluctantly and folded his arms over his chest self-consciously. He wasn't used to not wearing at lest four or five layers of clothing at a time. It was weird.

Al's eyes widened at the actions of this odd blond boy, he could only infer that his name was More, from what everyone was saying. Needless to say, what More did was.. inhuman, and almost impossible since he was not hurt at all by what he did. Inside, the brunette was a little jealous, of what this man could do and what he himself could not. But at the same time he was bewildered and awed at his skills. Something Al did not feel very often. He had to properly meet this man one time.
He walked a little closer to the fire and at the same time, listening to a brown haired Chinese boy addressing the small crowd of students. No way he'd just go to the side and rest. He glanced to his left, it seemed like Scyeth had his own plans, he sensed it would not exactly be a good plan--was he planning to charge in? Tch.
He moved a little closer to the now shirtless Russian boy and Scyeth, watching what the blond boy was planning to do.

Scyeth grinned his toothy grin and grabbed the shirt. He pulled it on, a little small, and reached over to ruffle the kid's hair. "I owe you one," he chirped, blue eyes sparkling a little. And with that, the blond wheeled on a heel and trotted towards the building. The teachers were still near the gate. Damnit. Now would have been a great time for the skateboard, huh? He'd be able to gun by them and...
...and. Well. He was pretty fast. Hell, he was really fast. He could totally just make a run for it. They'd chase him. Even if they caught him, they'd be getting into the building. Right? Right! Someone had to get this show on the road! He might get in trouble...scratch that. There would be hell to pay for this. It was kind of dangerous. (He is a teenager boy, and thus, the full danger of the situation will never really click.) But someone had to get this show on the road.
So without further thought, Scyeth bolted. Just bolted. Careening through the opening and into the school. He skidded to a halt and looked around wildly. Which way to go? That way? Towards the animal lab...should be...this way, right? Scyeth ducked and darted further in. Someone had better be following him. Dante. Herei. More. Anyone would do.

Wei silently counted heads, not that he actually knew how many he should have but he did so. He was interrupted by a certain blond pixie and was about the question him...except he just ran away. Fast. Into the Building. Scyeth you idiot! But he wasn't about to yell it out. If he yelled out then for sure the other was going to be in trouble but then again the teachers could possibly not understand the fact that some just ran in. He was an idiot! If he got expelled, dammit his wasn't prepared to deal with any emotional rebounds this might cause his didi.
His hands curled into a fist, nails effectively gripping into his palm but he continued his watch over the younger students. He felt old right now. He looked at the one that Scy had talked to, noticing how the other held himself. He was also rather young. Without even thinking the brunette took off his own shirt and handed it to the darked haired youth. He attempted to look gentle as to not alarm the probably already alarmed kid. "You really should rest."

Gosh he was a magnet tonight. He wasn't sure if that was good or bad, but it was a definitely uncomfortable. He must have looked ridiculous with only pants and a large fury hat with flaps. He looked up (again! why was everyone taller than him?!) and stuck out his bottom lip stubbornly.
"I'm fine..." He mumbled defiantly, even as he rubbed his red eyes. Okay so yeah he was heinously tired, but so was everyone else. He'd stick it out like everyone else! "Well... maybe I'll go sit...." Somewhere. He looked down at Wei's proffered shirt and right back up. He took it silently, but oh so gratefully and pulled it on over his hat and head. Jeez, it was kind of big, falling off his shoulder, but it was something comforting as strange as that may seem to others. "Thanks... Uhmm.... .... What's your name?" He actually hadn't asked anyone yet during all the mayhem.

He chuckled a bit. "Weiyuan. And you really should, we're only going to be pushed a lot more later on, it's best to rest now. The same goes to all of you." Honestly seeing this one kid he felt as if they should all rest. He was already used to staying up at all hours and the others were still much younger and still growing. Unlike him, he had stopped growing for a bit right now. Just his mind really.

"I'm--" He felt weird telling him his name. It seemed the wrong place and the wrong time to be casually introducing himself to his peers. As the young man Wei began announcing the general populace, Alexander slipped past and sat down as he was told beside another Chinese student. He didn't bother smiling as it seemed quite inappropriate right now. He kept his hat on and just sat, pulling his legs up to his chest and resting his head on his arms.
The foreign scent of Wei's shirt was alarmingly distracting.

Jesus Christ, or any other Deity. What the hell was that?
Micajah had been rendered rather thoughtless and speechless by the sight he'd just witnessed, the one involving a boy he'd only heard of ripping down a door like it was made of cardboard.
The ease with which More had done the task made Micajah compare to the time he used to build houses out of the shipping boxes his things were often toted around in, the kind where he would draws doors and windows on with crayons and pretend he actually had a stable home and wasn't living somewhere different at his father's beck and call...not that he didn't mind moving. It was always fun and he liked getting new clothes out of it.
This...is certainly something I need to write to Father about. Well, aside3 from the whole fire incident and what not because that's probably something he'd want to know anyway, but...
His thoughts continued to trail, and he didn't really see or hear Alex leave his side and move towards Weiyuan, and he only caught the glimpse of his Sparky-like friend running into the fire like he was some kind of awesome. It would take him a moment before it all registered, and when it finally did he could only think of a few more things.
1. He was probably developing an ulcer and a sunburn, from the stress and the heat respectively.
and 2. He was going to need more than one sheet of paper.

More... Jaden knew the other only by sight, and what had been shared with him by other students. However...this little feat that he had just pulled had been nothing short of miraculous. The tiny blond somehow didn't think that it could be accounted for by saying adrenaline works wonders. Oh no...not against fire and and...the door!
He stood...utterly stunned and forgetting all else for a moment, before he remembered that he should likely move, and that he was indeed a living creature. Ah, there were more people that he knew now, and Elijah had spoken to him.
"Hey! Yes! I'm fine! And I see you are too!" He seemed delighted by that fact, as he'd been quite obviously worried for everyome.
Starting to drift towards the other students, the shy American lingered on the fringes of things, mismatched gaze darting from one boy to the next. Goodness, there were people here that he'd never spoken to before, and even in this emergency, it made the slight teen withdraw slightly into his shell.

Dante didn't wait for a response from More. "I suppose that we don't really have a choice, either way," he sighed. "We don't have a convenient way to contact the--HEY!"
He should not have stepped aside in shock, but Dante was tired and disoriented and his brain was not working as it should have, and he let the boy skitter by. Scyeth, his brain registers barely.
"STOP!" Dante charged after him, blue eyes burning. "Herei! Lorioth! Make sure he's the only one who got in and that no one else enters! Ardanay, help me catch him!"

And of course, Scyeth ran inside the burning house. What in the world was he thinking, seriously? Did he think he was invincible with that sweater?
He moved immediately, his body almost tempted to follow the boy who darted off and to stop him from entering. And he did.. well, partially. The elven professor suddenly made him stop in his tracks, calling out to the other professors to retrieve the young boy and to stop any more people from entering.
