Well, here we are again. Hopefully, things get a little more interesting.

Again, I don't own anything

Cheers


I was here at last, the coliseum where matches are held almost daily. Due to the new season, there were no matches being held due to the training of new summoners. As new summoners were walking towards the giant entrance, I looked around, expecting to see a familiar face only to be tackled from behind.

What hit me.

"Jeez, you need to toughen up some more Reflet," a familiar voice said behind me.

Looking back, it was my friend Len. He was all sunshine and flowers with that stupid grin on his face he usually gave.

"What's wrong, cat got your tongue," he joked.

Hmph, after all these years, you would think we were best friends with the way we acted. Oh well, it was always fun to have a rival. Being the only two in our school to be selected for the League was the highest honor. Something we both relished.

"Len, I began, you could at least be somewhat serious about this."

He fidgeted a little bit. "Right, just some jitters, that's all," he explained.

I sighed, he really was a piece of work.

"Well then, shall we go," I finally said.

Nodding in agreement, we started our walk to the giant entrance. The path to the entrance had giant statues on both side. The statues were like mirror reflections of each other. Both carrying a sword and shield. Entering the coliseum, we could see a group wearing summoner's cloaks gathering at a desk with a clerk. Another female clerk saw us and motioned us to the desk.

"Please state your name when you reach the desk please," she stated robotically. Hurrying to the end of the line, we noticed a girl with blond hair and wearing the familiar cloak yelling at some older gentlemen.

Yelling defiantly, "I will not stay in some dirty room underground, do you hear me."

The older gentlemen, perhaps her butler replied with a "yes mistress" repeatedly.

Len gave me a look and said, "One of those rich girls, think they can just buy themselves into the League. Makes me sick thinking about it."

10 Minutes Later

We were finally called up to the desk after 10 minutes of waiting. The clerk stated "Name please."

"Reflet Levi and Len Taiden," I stated.

Looking at her list, the clerk looked up after a few seconds.

"Yes, here you are. Each summoner will be given their own room which is located under the coliseum."

She reached underneath the desk and took out two random keys. I guess they were in a box or something.

"Each summoner will be responsible for his or her key, in no circumstance are summoners allowed to leave the vincinity of the coliseum unless it is a designated holiday as stated by the league. Nourishment will be given daily at eight in the morning for breakfast. Lunch is at twelve, and dinner is seven. You will be required to come to the champions hall at seven in the afternoon today where you will be partnered with a chosen champion. Training with said champion will commence tomorrow morning. Please take these forms of identification with you. They must always be on your person. If you have any questions, please refer to the man at the stairway leading to the rooms located to your right."

Wow, that sounded so scripted and practiced, you could tell that she's done this before. Looking to the right we could see a big intimidating man dressed in black and with a black ponytail standing next to the stairway.

"Whoa, that guy is big," Len obviously said.

"Don't encourage him," I pointed out.

Thanking the clerk, I took the keys and we headed for the stairway, trying not to notice the brutish looking man. Getting a closer look, he had a tan look to him, with what appeared to be claw shaped scar around his eye.

Seeing us, he stopped us.

"Identification please."

Handing him the IDs, he looked at us and said, "Welcome to the league gentlemen, I do hope that this brings prestige and honor to you and your family."

Caught off guard, we stared mouth agape.

Understanding the confusion, he laughed, "Yes, I get this a lot, my huge frame tends to intimidate most of the new summoners, don't let it fool ya. I'm actually a nice guy when I want to be."

"So then, if you would kindly take the stairs down to your accomodations, unpack and get ready for the champion selections," he stated kindly.

"Yes, sir," Len and I said.

Taking the stairs down, we traveled for must have felt like ten stories.

"It's getting cold," Len stated.

"Well, we are underground, of course its going to get cold," I replied back.

After finally reaching the bottom of the stairs, we saw a hallway reaching out to an endless abyss. It was poorly lit and looked grimy.

"It looks like this is where we part," Len stated happily. "I'm going to go find my room"

He took one of the keys from my hands and ran off.

Staring after him, I sighed and began to look for my room.

Room 132. That's funny, I don't remember there being that many summoners when people came and told me I had been selected. Not thinking too much about it, I opened the door, and entered.

Nothing too much to talk about. A wooden desk and chair lied in the corner of the room. A lamp hanging near it. A gas lamp hung from the middle of the cieling with a lit flame glowing a bright yellow color. Then there was the bed, looked comfy. Apparently, someone thought it funny to put a window frame at the end of the room with white bricks lining the wall. There was even a closet on the left side. What puzzled me was that the room was actually quite spacious. It wasn't too confining and there was a fair amount of furniture from a bookshelf to a couch. Probably to let the summoner be comfortable. We even got our own bathroom. Actually, that was the only thing that was small.

Taking my suitcase, I took out my things and set up shop. Clothes in the closet, books on shelves. Yeah, my suitcase was modified to fit everything I needed. I knew being a summoner could have its use.

Finally finishing, I decided to walk to the bed and take a nap. After all, we still had a few hours until the champion selections.

Lying in the bed, I quickly dozed off.

A few hours later

I woke up with a start, there was a loud voice emanating in the room. It was the voice of that intimidating man.

"Good evening everyone, this is Andrei, it is time for the selections. If you would please exit the room, you will notice arrows on the ground, please follow them to the hall. Thank you."

Puzzled, I exited the room and noticed others were doing the same as well. What caught my attention was the arrows on the floor. They weren't there before. Maybe through spells, they appeared but they were growing with an ominous blue light.

People were already following the arrows and I made haste as well.

Looking around I saw Len ahead of me.

I yelled out his name. Staring back, he saw me and slowed his pace.

"Isn't this exciting" he squeeled.

"Just a little more, and we'll be partnering with a mighty champion. I'm so excited."

"Calm down," I pleaded.

"Can't, this has been something we've both been striving for since your dad took you and I to a match.

That's right, back when my dad was a whole lot nicer, he would sometimes take us to a match. Granted, the seats were far away and we had to look at the screen showing the battle take place, but that was probably the happiest moments I had with my dad.

"Runeterra to Reflet, wake up."

I looked at him and said "what?"

"We're here," he calmly stated.

I heard stories of past summoners who've seen the hall. They always said it was beautiful, immense. The thing they always had trouble was finding the words to describe it. But standing there now, it truly was immense. It looked like a gigantic church, with high reaching cielings and what appeared to be gold glass stained windows. The cieling was decorated with a large chandelier which served as a light source. The floor was a beautiful white marble color, this place was not cheap I can tell you that. At one end of the hall was a raised platform where I saw Andrei and a few men and women that were sitting behind a long table. They must be the ones in charge.

On the other end of a hall was another raised platform with a door. It was actually quiet big, not as big as the giant ceiling, but still pretty big.

"I wonder what that's about," I wondered aloud.

The thing about the schools that we attended is that they don't teach you everything. They teach you the basics, strategy, team composition, spells. They didn't teach you the tricks of the match. What you should do or shouldn't do. Anything like that. And yet they still found ways of giving us lots of homework.

Hearing a voice I looked towards the direction to see Andrei clear his voice.

"Alright summoners, if you would take a seat, we will begin with dinner first."

Taking a seat with Len, we sat at a table that was basically linked with even more long tables. There were 3 long tables set up to accomodate all the summoners.

As the summoners sat down and got comfortable, I saw Andrei step forward once again ready to speak.

"Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the League of Legends."

"Starting today, you will be partnered with a champion of your choosing. Order will be defined by the rank you received from graduating the preparatory school you attended. It is then determined by the council behind me who will be picked first... and who will be picked last."

All of a sudden, I was hearing clamor among the summoners. They weren't too happy about that it looks like.

The noise was getting deafening. And with a mighty roar, Andrei yelled out "Quiet!"

The hall instantly fell quiet.

"This has been set by the council and tribunal. In no way will this affect the unfair choosing of strong champions. All of you will called individually in the council's order and allowed a blind pick of any champion you want. "

"But choose carefully, for this champion will be your partner for the rest of this year and for this season. You are all young men and women, not children. I'm sure you can make a wise decision. Do I make myself clear!"

The hall roared "Yes, sir."

After the hall quieted down. Andrei said, "Well then, lets eat."

All of a sudden plates of meats, bread, all types of food covered the tables.

All around me, I heard other summoners exclaim "wow," "amazin," and even a "they really treat summoners like kings."

Grabbing a handful of food, I can probably say that I literally pigged out.

Having a share of turkey, I could hear the obnoxious voice of the girl I saw earlier today. She was a few people to my right. I could see her on the opposite side of the table.

"I'm going to be the fifth person to pick my champion," she said braggingly.

"How can you tell," a random man said.

"My daddy told me that he paid some of the council members to skew their ordering," she explained.

"Not that it matters, I'm sure I would have been fifth anyway."

"Can you believe that, all of the rich kids are probably going to end up going first," said an unknown voice across from me.

Looking across, I saw a blond haired boy roughly my age.

"Well, money always makes people listen," I said.

"You can say that again," he said.

"The names Danny by the way, Danny Faber, what's yours?"

"Reflet Levi, and the person next to me is Len Taiden."

Len, who had been stuffing his face mumbled "Hw du u du." I think he was trying to say how do you do, or "Hoe doodoo."

"Pleasure," Danny replied back.

As we became acquainted, Danny told us he came from a northern village in Ionia. His father died while his mother worked laboriously to feed him and his brother. He put all of his effort into getting into the league since there was good money to be made here. It was even a miracle he made it in.

Len and I then told him about ourselves. I lived with my parents in the city as well as Len with his. We came to be the top at our school, but it was a realtively poor school. Since the city had a huge poverty area, most of the kids went there. Most of the richer kids got to go to more elaborate locals then have to deal with filth as they would say.

We talked longer than we expected and before we knew it, two hours passed by and Andrei got up from his seat at the council's table.

"Alright everyone, its time for the selections, I will now call your name individually from this list. When I call your name, you will stand and make your way to the door at the other end of the hall. When you enter, you are to look. You can ask anyone of them one question and one question only. When you have made a selection, you will be directed to another hall where you will be waiting for the rest of us. Is that clear"

"Yes, sir," the hall cried.

"First off then is... James Nightingale."

A young boy around 16, on the left table stood up and made his way towards the door. As he made his walk towards the door, it felt like an eternity before he reached it. As he entered, a wierd aura surrounded the door.

I asked what that was about.

We talked about it and it was most likely so that summoners couldn't randomly enter and see the champions before they got in. This truly did make it a random selection.

We then heard a bell sound off. As we looked towards the door, the aura slowly dissipated.

"That must mean he made a decision," Len said.

Andrei's loud voice then boomed and called out the next name.

"Smith Harrison."

Another boy stood up, with red hair ran towards the door. He must've been excited. We waited, and eventually, the bell rang and the aura once again dissolved. Eventually, the obnoxious rich girl was called.

"Rachel Schneider!" yelled Andrei.

Standing up with an elegant finesse, she walked with her head held high and practically marched towards the door.

As time passed, the remaining group became smaller as we remained. Being lower class, there was most likely the chance we would go last. I noticed the people before us were uptight rich kids with no care in the world. I could only imagine what kind of champions these kids would pick. This was bad, were we going to get the runts with all the good champs being taken.

Eventually I heard a Danny Faber. As he stood up, he gave us a little wave and gave a look around the hall. We were seriously the only ones in the hall now. Great.

"Well," I said, "perhaps now the order will be rank based."

"Yeah," Len replied sadly.

"Len Taiden," was finally called out.

Standing up, he gave me a sad look as he started towards the door.

Yeah, I'm not smarter than Len. I got it. Why did you think I tried locking myself in my room trying to desperately study. I was third in the school, and by some sheer miracle, I beat out the previous second.

After some time thinking about that lucky miracle, I finally heard my name

"Reflet Levi," was finally called.

Standing up slowly, I began my slow walk towards the door. I could only imagine the pipsqueak I was going to get. Short, couldn't take a hit, I was doomed. Of course, I was probably exaggerating, but can you blame me. I was freaking out.

As I entered the door and into the room, I was in a pitch dark room. The thing that caught your attention was a light that shone from the cieling at a point on a floor like a moonlight beacon. There were a ton of these lights. Now, they were all shining on an empty spot. Looking around, I couldn't see a single champion except way off in the distance. Making my slow walk, I was prepared to see the little midget.

The thing was that as I got closer, this champion started to get bigger. As I got closer, I could see a big gigantic hog. It was a boar.

Riding it was a girl, roughly around my age, and granted the school I went to was a graduate school so that's why I say around my age. School is a little different in this city compared to others.

The girl or should I say women, was dressed in head to toe with heavy fur armor. What I couldn't understand is why anyone wouldn't pick this behemoth of a champ. She's on a boar, and she's carrying a bloody mace. How intimidating is that. So why didn't anyone pick her, most of all, why didn't Danny or Len pick her.

She stared at me with lightning blue eyes. Yeah, I was intimidated. Those eyes looked like they could stare through your soul. I gave a few forced chuckles. Trying to break the awkward atmosphere and the intense stare she gave.

I said, "Hi, I'm Reflet Levi, I hope with time, we can work together and learn to trust each other."

She didn't say anything, just continued to stare at me.

Eventually her mouth slowly opened and a voice as cold as ice said, "I trust nothing but my strength. If you get in my way, I'll crush your bones into dust."

...Oh, I see why now.


Wow, I'm impressed that I wrote this much for a second chapter. Anyway, please read and review. I'm beginning to form the team that Reflet will be in. I have the two other members, but I need two more. If there are any suggestions. Let me know, just know they have to be male. Or if I have the team predominantly female, hijinks can happen. Hope to see you next time.
