Hmmmn... I'm going to try a story.
"Rainen! Pay attention!" Rainen turned his head and looked at Miss Vaarei. "Yes Miss Vaarei?" he said with an uncaring tone. "What is so interesting about tomorrow's test that you couldn't bother even trying to listen to the lesson?"
At this the rest of the class yelled "What!" in a horrified tone. The last several lessons had been on transformation magics, and almost every single inanimate object had either exploded of imploded. Rainen understood but didn't feel their terror, inanimate objects are hard enough to simply transform, so what would happen to those mice in there?
"If you will now listen" said Miss Vaarei, "I will resume telling you about further about the further control of your individual talents." Everyone whispered excitedly. Rained produced a small inward groan, more drills, pain, difficult training, and exploding dummies. "I can get more points than any of you!" Jeria said loudly standing up. "Miss Jeria you will not get any if you speak out of turn again!" Said Miss Vaarei. Jeria blushed, clasped her hands over her mouth, and sat down quickly. Miriar looked at her with pity and feeling, while Gakar looked on and tried to keep from laughing.
Rainen looked at his fellow classmates that had to endure the School for the Unnatural and Unnamed: Jeria, regular strong impulsive idiot with anger issues and a superiority complex. Miriar, a sweet girl, a bit simple minded but had excellent memory for plants, and was a superb healer. And Gaker, silver tongued and quick witted, Gaker had a fond loving of jokes, usually too fond for his own good.
Later in the training grounds they were preparing for the much anticipated lesson, with excited and worried faces.
"Reynou, Begin!"
Reynou began curling his hands and hurled swirling blue light at the puppets, as soon as the light hit the target the light exploded into flame. Because the enchanted puppets were made of straw and light wood so they wouldn't be as heavy so it would be easier to control more than one, they exploded into flame. It went on for a bit before Miss Vaarei called out "Stop! Time's up." Reynou stood still in the middle of the circle lined by dummies.
"Good Reynou!" Miss Vaarei said as Reynou's long dark hair settled when his magic dimmed out. "5 Points!" she called out, "Nairi next!" Nairi stepped up, as the dummies that Reynou had burned turned to ash and new ones appeared. With a flick of her long blond hair she looked up at Miss Vaarei cockily. "Ready whenever Miss Vaarei." she said with annoying confidence. When the teacher called out to begin, Nairi looked up with menace. Only a small pinkish vapor like shadow moved as the dummies began to fly back one by one with dents in their chest as though a strong fist had hit them.
"Time's up!" Miss Vaarei called. "Excellent! 6 points!" Nairi walked by Arrogantly and looked at Reynou and Jeria with a 'I'm better than you' look. Miriar's turn was next. "Miriar, Begin." Miriar started nervously and focused. Small twigs grew out of her fingertips, and grew in to large treelike tendons that moved out and crushed the dummies for a bit before she was hit in the back by one of the puppet dummies. "Stop!" called out Miss Vaalrei, " 4 points. Better than last time Miriar, you're improving!" Miriar smiled weakly and slinked off.
"Gaker, you next!" smirking, Gaker walked up, and turned around on his heel when he reached the center. "Gaker, Begin!" Gaker's eyes glowed with green mist that snaked and curled in the air. Small explosions went of at the dummies feet and disoriented them. He ran up to one and threw out his hands, jacks flew from his palms, embedded themselves in the dummy's chest and exploded. He continued with his style with explosives of all shapes and forms until he was caught of guard and swept off his feet. "Stop!, 5 Points, Jeria, you!" said Miss Vaarei.
Jeria walked up, unsheathed her twin katana, and yelled out "Ready!" Almost before she called out to start, Jeria ran and began hacking at the puppet dummies. Her swords were sharp, and she cut with great ease, she blocked the attack from behind and cut the dummy in one fluid motion. she jumped into the air as her ever famous speckled owl wings grew from her back. She flew over the falling dummy and tried to preform a jump attack on another, but it dodged. Before she could slash at the dummy again, Miss Vaarei called time. Cursing, Jeria sheathed her katana. "Language Jeria, 7 points, Wonderful!" Jeria walked by smirking at Nairi.
"Finally, Rainen!" Sighing, Rainen walked into the circle and, in a depressed mood, pulled out a strange instrument that he had on a strap at all times. When the strange instrument he insisted was called a "hurdy gurdy" was all ready, he nodded at the teacher. "Begin!" she called out. Rainen began to turn a knob at the end of the hurdy gurdy and it started to play, it made an eerie sound almost like a bagpipe. Rainen winced as bones sprouted from his back and grew into black feathered wings. Pale blue-white ghosts rose from the ground and began attacking the dummies. "Time! 5 points Rainen." Miss Vaarei called, "We're done, go to your dorms, have a good rest of the day.
"Dude, that was awesome!" Gaker said as they were walking away "How did you do that!" "Natural talent." Rainen said "Fallen angel, you can't do that, just like I can't make explosive toys randomly spawn everywhere imp". "Well I was better than both of you! Valkyrie Rule!" Jaria said loudly as she walked in between them. "You were really good Jeria." said the quiet voice of the green man that was Miriar. Well, I got to go." Gaker said "Got some stuff to do." "Okay." Miriar said. "Right, See you guys tomorrow!" yelled Jeria, as she ran off to who-knows-were. "Bye Rainen." said Miriar "Bye" said Rainen. as they parted ways to go to their dorms, unheard, and unseen.
Eventually I'm probably going to turn this into a fan fiction of original fiction, but this is just an idea that I wanted to write down so I wouldn't forget it... this is probably going to end up abandoned...
