Classes, it seemed, would not be started until the next day. For now, Anisha as well as all other students were being given a full day to settle into their dorms.
Anisha levitated what few decorations he was fond of to set them up rather efficiently. When Urzona ventured out of her wildlife themed room and visited her yellow blooded friend, she wasn't surprised to find his room decorated with images of the Sufferer and Helmsman.
She giggled, "Nice room," She said as she looked it over, "Doesn't look like you brought any stuffed animals though." She jokes.
Anisha shrugged, "Why would I need a stuffed animal when I've got you?" He teased, the olive blood's face burning up immediately.
He chuckled as she tossed a pillow at him-doing so psionically because attempting to stop it with his hands would have lead to several broken bones.
Successfully able to check 'tease ursa-loli' off his to-do list, Anisha continued his day with training, followed by a shower.
The showers, Anisha learned, were co-ed. Given that the entire species was pansexual, it wouldn't really make sense for them to be divided by gender afterall.
He was more confused by the general concept of the showers, being more used to bathing in the wild.
The closest thing he'd had to a shower was a waterfall nearby by hive; but he supposed the hot water was a perk. It was, however, difficult to enjoy the shower with so many eyes looking him up, down, and everything in between.
He supposed he should be flattered, but he couldn't help but be annoyed by the attention in what was effectively a public place. Sure he was naked but so was everyone else.
Not that Anisha was getting *all* the attention, just quite a lot of it. The rest seemed to be going to a violet blood… boy? Their androgynous face and figure made it hard to pin down for sure, even being able to see their body naked.
Yes they had a bulge, but given the shifting nature of troll genders, that didn't really mean much, Anisha only content that the violet was indeed male when he turned to let the water run down his body-seemingly intentionally teasing the hell out of the viewers-and his lack of breasts could be seen.
The boy was quite a show off it seemed, but Anisha couldn't judge him for just liking attention. Especially since it helped keep some of the attention off of himself.
It was on his way back from the showers that Anisha met Virnom. The jade blood stood a foot and a half taller than Anisha, her body strong from the years of training and battle she'd been through; though it did nothing to hide her aggressively feminine figure.
She was on her way back from the showers just as he was, though had not taken note of how much water was on the floor beneath her and had lost her footing.
She caught herself effortlessly mind you, but her towel had seemed to decide that this journey was one she would be taking alone; giving Anisha a direct view of her lovely plush rump. Her D sized chest as well, when Virnom turned around to try and grab at her towel.
Anisha, figuring it wouldn't do to have what he presumed from height, strength, and the scars to be one their teachers floundering about over a towel, Anisha caught it telekenetically and returned it to her. She smiled at Anisha as the towel wrapped itself around her figure perfectly.
"Why thank you," she said as the gold blood approached.
Anisha simply shrugged, "Thanks for keeping this academy standing." He replied. She chuckled, "Hardly doing it alone of course." She said, none too subtly letting her eyes trail over his only half covered form.
Much as it had annoyed him in the showers, Anisha couldn't seem to mind it from her. Perhaps it was because he had gotten a decent view of her, and turnabout was fairplay, perhaps it was her seductive smile, or perhaps it was him slowly starting to recognize this jade blood woman.
No, not just jade blood. Rainbow Drinker. She evidently had the bioluminescent glow under some kind of control, but the fangs could be seen easily after initially noticed.
"Are you… Virnom?" He questioned.
Virnom the Valiant, the only Rainbow Drinker in the rebellion, nodded casually. "Reputation precedes me I suppose."
"Tends to happen when you become a legend." Anisha replied, earning a chuckle from Virnom as he followed it with, "I'm honored to know you'll be helping teach us."
Anisha saw her expression turn contemplative as she continued to look him over once again, though with confirmation of her reputation, Anisha's indifference began to skew self conscious.
"Perhaps it would be inappropriate to wonder if that honor would be high enough to ask a favor?" Virnom asked, having evidently decided to follow her impulse on this occasion.
"I don't often find myself with free time, but now that I have it I've got nothing to fill it with. If I'm recalling right, you're the boy with the nymph lusus yes? Could you perhaps.. Show me how you relax?"
Nymph lusus and how they helped their wards to de-stress was well known and equally well mocked, though Virnom it seemed had no ill will for the physical openness.
Anisha smiled, offering her a hand, "Gladly. It's honestly the least I could do to repay one of the war heroes who inspired me." She smiled, taking his hand and beginning to lead him off to her quarters, not planning on letting him leave for some time.
What followed is a lesson in environmental awareness. Anisha and Virnom were not alone in the corridor outside the showers during this exchange, but had not taken note of the teal blooded girl there with them.
Said teal blood had gotten as much a view of the both of them as they had of each other, and had watched Anisha trapse off with one of their teachers for no doubt lewd action. The teal blood, understandable annoyed with this blatant brown nosing, attempted to continue about her day.
Unknown to her though, she had a tendency to mutter to herself when frustrated, allowing anyone who paid much attention to learn exactly what she was annoyed by.
That anyone ended up being a purple blood; the same that Anisha had met outside the academy the previous day, Potchi.
And that is why, when Anisha was returning to his room several hours later, Potchi stopped him on the way.
Anisha recognized her voiced from the previous day, though only now-having just left a rather physical encounter-noticed the proportions of her body. There was that old proverb about the blood caste being linked to thiccness, and while there were many who could disprove it, Potchi's figure seemed intent on adhering to the myth.
It was her giant fuckoff mace though that drew the most attention.
Given the kind of academy they were attending, simply having a weapon on your person was one thing. But Potchi's stance and expression made it clear she was there with purpose.
"Shouldn't be surprised that you're tryin' to find a someone new to root," Potchi mocked, "Definitely ain't shocked that a lusus rutter would go for a jade blood, almost makes too much sense really. But one of the teachers, really? It's one thing to be a perv, ya ain't gotta be shady on top of it."
"I don't think anyone waiting to ambush someone with a boomiknocker gets to complain about other people being shady." Anisha replied simply.
Potchi actually laughed at this, "Ya know what, fair enough I suppose. Still gonna have to knock some law into ya though."
By this point, other students had noticed the purple blood girl hassling the gold blood, and had begun gathering to see the inevitable brawl that would be coming, only a few hearing the allegations, valid though they were, most simply wishing to see a fight.
And of this, at least, they would be satisfied. Anisha jumped back from the floor to avoid Potchi's mace, levitating in the air as he held out his hand, summoning a psionic spinning blade and sending it towards Potchi, who guarded through it with her mace before advancing. The two moved back and forth, firing and swinging at each other, but neither landing anything debilitating.
"Let's.. Call it.." Anisha said, panting after a half hour of sparring, "At least.. For now. Doesn't look like either of us are getting anywhere like this, we've done more damage to the school then each other."
Looking around at the cracks, scratches, and full on chunks out of the building they'd taken, the purple blood sighed, "Ah hell, fuckin' fair enough," She grumbled, "S'ppose a draw earns you a little while at least, but if I find out anything else shaddy about ya, we're gonna have to brawl again, and it ain't stopping next time."
Anisha simply shrugged, "Can't say I'd mind." Anisha said simply as he passed Potchi, leaving her to attempt to suppress the purple blush trying to overtake her cheeks.
As he returned to his room, one of the onlookers of the battle, the same violet blood he had seen showers, watched him go. He wondered why it was that the gold blood had been holding back, and why he had been feigning exhaustion.
Maybe he had gotten bored of the battle, the violet blood pondered, though that didn't explain why he hadn't just finished it.
More likely, he thought with a chuckle, he intended to tint the purple blood pitch going forward. In that, the violet blood could respect him.
Empress Jooene smiled as she looked over the burgundy bloods who had been brought to her throne room.
All of them were naked save for their collars, which could burn their flesh or send shocks through their body if they stepped out of line. The fuschia blood licked her lips, beckoning them closer to her as she stood, telekinetically removing her regal garb, eager to relax with her lovely toys. It was having such beautiful pets like these that made it all worth it.
Well… almost…
