The day was rather bright. Perhaps unusually bright given that according to the news it was supposed to be mostly cloudy with a chance for rain. Regardless of the brightness of the day I still found my walk to be rather dreary and mundane. Mostly because the houses between my home and the school that I attend are dull and grey for the most part. Grey, off-whiteish slanted planks of a "wood" that is not even wood. It really just feels like plastic. You know what I'm talking about right?

With ugly green roofs. Nothing special, they were made in bulk after the war, the only thing that seems to change between the clone homes is that some have a back porch and some have a front porch.

My home was fortunate enough to have a back porch. With a very small yard that my brother uses mostly for cook outs.

Forgive me, I'm really bad with these inner monologue things. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to introduce myself. I just imagine it like a movie or a game. You'd have my voice telling you about me from the future, then as the movie goes on you discover I'm telling you all about the past then we reach the present… By then you'd know everything you needed to about me and I wouldn't have to tell you.

I don't even know who you are. I suspect you're just something I've made up in my mind to justify my inner thoughts talking about myself and the people and things around me.

This happens a lot. I mean a lot.

Anyway, these clone homes are all just barely off campus to the school I go to. It's an institute of sorts. It has a reputation for pitting the students against each other in combat for the sake of settling disputes.

I guess you know it as the Institute of War, where the infamous league of legends holds court.

It's not that great. Back in the day there was a debate on how the school could raise money. They decided since the school was there to train and restrain individuals whose power left unchecked could cause serious problems for the public at large, that the best option was to have these games and televise them. I'm sure you've seen a match on Summoner's Rift. Pretty much everyone has.

Well as time went on this ultimately became the primary attraction. People flock to train and learn from the teachers here.

I am one such student. My family was one of the first families to participate in the games and I was kinda expected to go into the LoL myself. Which I did, I followed my brother in. We're apart of D-house.

I should explain. There are a bunch of houses, basically co-ed fraternities who support certain ideas… Kinda like political parties or nations. D-house is an abbreviation for Demancia House, named after Jarvan Demacia, one of the co-founders of the school. Then there's N-house named after Briar Noxus who is the other co-founder. There are several other houses like Piltover, Zoun, Frejord. But they aren't nearly as prevalent D house and N house.

Of course, that's basically just a gym class. Those matches we "fight". It's all safe. Like a game of dodge ball or hockey. Some other normal sport I'm sure you play at your school… Not that we don't play normal sports… Just not as much. What I'm basically trying to say is that contrary to popular belief there is an actual education program. I learn chemistry, physics, mathematics, all that stuff too… The LoL is only different in that because we all basically have these amazing super powers we get to use them.

Ugh… I just feel so weird… I'm walking to school through this boring ass neighborhood and I can shoot rainbows! It's so weird!

Ugh. Well My name's Lux. Welcome to my very plain life in school.
