Hello readers! This is my first story, and I'm happy to present it! I do not own D. Gray-man or any of its characters. ~Brightpaw
(Important! Please read Author's Notes!)
It seemed like any other day at the Black Order. The sun was shining bright and not a cloud could be seen in the sky. Inside the Black Order, four Exorcist were speaking with the Chief Officer inside his paper covered office about news that could change their lives as they know it.
Gathered around a long, semi-tidy desk were Lenalee, Lavi, Allen, and Kanda. In front of them stood the Chief Officer of the Black Order and Lenalee's older brother, Komui Lee.
"I know you all are busy at the moment, but I have some very important news to share with all of you", Komui started.
Lenalee watched her older sibling suspiciously as he is well-known for his "maniacal antics", and this important news could mean about anything.
"What is so important that you need all four of us here? Do we have a new mission?" Lenalee asked. Komui shook his head in response.
Kanda watched the man with a bored expression. "Don't tell us that you made a new machine or something. Or that you made a new way of doing anything that would 'help us'."
Komui chuckled. "Sorry to disappoint, Kanda. Now, I think it would be a great time to tell you guys something."
"Well, you wanted to tell us something other than you want to tell us something?" Allen asked politely. Lavi laughed and Lenalee sighed.
Komui frowned, but then clapped his hands like he always does when something is about to get done with a smile. "Right! The Black Order is making a new program for Exorcists!" Murmurs went around the group about what to think of this.
"What type of 'program' are you talking about?" Lavi inquired uncertainly.
"The Black Order is going to make an academy for young Exorcists that teaches them about akuma, how to use Innocence, and other things that a great Exorcist needs to know! Its name is the 'Black Order Academic Branch'. Good idea, isn't it?" Komui exclaimed cheerfully.
The group was silent for a few minutes. Allen raised his hand slowly. "Um, Komui, I don't think there's enough teachers to make an academy, let alone students! How are we going to gather that many people?"
"They are already signed up", Komui assured. "Now, you don't have to worry about the teachers. Because of the lack of students, the teachers are," he pointed at Allen and Kanda dramatically, "you!"
Kanda and Allen looked at each other in shock. "US?!" They yelled in unison.
The Chief Officer nodded. "Yep. You two are both Exorcists, so you know the most about being one. We can't just have a normal citizens do it, and Finders are busy doing missions. So from now on, you two are teachers." He turned to Lavi and Lenalee. "Also, Lavi, you will be the students' Educational Teacher. Allen and Kanda's jobs are just to teach them about being an Exorcist and what they do, but they don't teach the kids things like math, reading, and history. That's where you come in! You teach them all the educational stuff that the other Exorcists don't. Can you handle that?"
Lavi gave a curt nod, but then frowned. "Wait, does that mean I have to make lesson plans?" Komui nodded slowly like it was a no-brainer. Lavi groaned.
"Lenalee, you are the Physical Education teacher. Since the kids can't always keep up with the teachers, you have to train them. You control their battle training, speed exercises, and other things of the like. You may also go over healthy food habits, especially to the Parasite-types, if you would like. Can you do that?"
Lenalee nodded and smiled. "Will do! But…. What will Miranda and the others do?"
Komui blinked. "Well, Miranda Lotto is the Guidance Councilor (didn't choose that), I will be the principle, Howard Link will be the superintendent, Bookman will be the librarian, Froi Tiedoll is the art teacher (though only when he has time), Johnny Gill will be a secretary, and so on and so forth. Anymore questions?"
Kanda crossed his arms. "What if we need to go on a mission? What do we do with the squirts then?"
"You may bring some of the students depending on the mission. Though if it's too dangerous for them, you leave them with Lenalee or whoever you see fit. You may only bring up to five students with you on any given mission to avoid too many casualties. Anything else?"
Allen raised his hand. "Who can join the Academy?"
"You must have a certain IQ to enter, but otherwise, you may join if you're eight through nineteen. However, their parents have to agree to let them join if they're younger than sixteen. If you're older than that then you can just come out of your own free will. This means some students could be older than or the same age as you depending on the situation. Do I have to clear up anything else?"
Lavi smiled a foolhardy grin. "When do we get started?"
Komui laughed. "We begin tomorrow." The group paled slightly and looked at each other with surprised expressions. "You better get your starter packets from my desk and make some lesson plans!"
The four Exorcists hurriedly grabbed a small packet from off of Komui's cluttered desk and made their way out the door as they shared ideas, feelings, and wondered how Miranda would take the news….
Komui sighed and leaned on his wooden desk. "I hope they're up to this task…. I should have told them there was about sixty students signed up…" He heard yelling from the hallway and a high-pitched wail that could only come from Miranda. The new principle lifted his head and chuckled to himself. "I think they will be just fine!"
Author's Notes:
Hello once again my dear readers!
Now, I hope you all enjoy this idea as much as I do. But the only thing is; I need your help. All of you! Since I have a lack of students (and I want to add you guys in this), I'm letting most of you make an Academy student! In order to qualify to make a character, however, you need to
A) Review this chapter
B) Say your thoughts on the story (idea)
C) Say that you want to make a character in the Review.
You only have to do ONE of those to qualify. But there are some rules you need to follow to make a character. (Do NOT make your character in the Review. I'll PM you to make a character.)
Name
Gender
Age
Height
Weight
Weapon (what they fight with)
Type (Equipment, Parasite, or Crystal)
What they do HOBBY wise
What they do PERSONALITY wise
How they are socially (Not necessary)
Appearance (Not necessary)
There are also rules about what Type you are. Only ONE TO TWO characters can use Crystal-type Innocence (this rule may not apply if there are about 60 characters), so the first people who makes them gets them. Only a handful Parasite-type students, and Equipment-types will be your only option after that. NO ONE can make a Noah student. NO ONE can make their student a modified akuma UNLESS I think your character is that awesome. Other restrictions will apply wherever necessary. (You may only make one character unless I ask you specifically to make another one.)
Those are the rules and don't worry about remembering the guidelines; I'll PM you them. Have a nice day/night and I'll see you guys later!
