The rest of the day was pretty dull for the two kids, mostly introductions and what was going to be in each class, nothing special, they did however managed to find a friendly someone. Both Ezreal and Taliyah helped the newcomers to get used to their first day.
Sophie was still struggling to keep sane with Jinx being a problem and even tried to accuse her to the professors but her new friend held her before she could do anything.
Reginald on the other had was informed about the creatures that appeared the years before he joined as well as the existence of the Star Guardians. He was also intrigued about it but the blond boy was clueless on who any of the girls were and browsed the blog for any new information.
There was nothing to do, no homework and just a regular day for them, the transition from vacations to academy-life would take at least a week but if their professors decided to start giving them loads of work then that transition would take just a couple of days.
As the first day at the academy ended the second one came and with a surprise. On the second period everyone was told to go to the courtyard and choose at least one club to participate in. Despite how boring and dull that idea may seem, the entire place was full with students and most of them already occupying the stands.
-So…-
-So…?- Taliyah asked, walking around and inspecting the club's stands ¨Found anything that you like yet?¨
¨Mh…¨ Sophie thought to herself ¨Archery, photography, Sh-Shakespeare club?¨ The girl wondered on this last one, looking at her newest friend.
¨That's a thetre club hosted by the professor Jhin, he did a play last year, something called `The Beauty of Killing´ kinda lame¨ The tanned girl answered, hiding her hands on the pockets of the jacket ¨How about… Ancient History club?¨
¨No thanks, I think I'll have enough history with yesterday's class¨ The two girls laughed and saw a stand near a tree, as they got closer they both noticed the blonde girl they saw on the library the day before, along with her was a white-haired Yordle, both of them were looking for any possible student who might want to join the Literature Club.
¨Hey Lux, Poppy¨ Taliyah greeted the two girls behind the stand ¨Remember Sophie? You saw her at the library yesterday¨
¨I do remember, sadly someone was pulling us for important talk about the club¨ The Yordle said, looking at the pamphlets that had information about their stand ¨So… interested in joining the Literature Club?¨
¨No…¨ Answered the raven haired ¨I'm still undecided on what to choose, plus I'm following Taliyah all around, still getting a bit lost with this many people¨
¨Yeah, but I was just strolling here just to see if you recruited someone¨ But the two girls from the club shook their heads ¨Well that's… sad and-¨ The student turned her head to the left and then everyone proceeded to do the same ¨Oh no here she comes…¨
Just like the girls were pursuing the people from the Basketball team, the boys were following (according to them) the most beautiful female student in the academy. Being the number one know-it-all when it comes to gossips as well as the informant on all the new info related to the Star Guardians. Coming from a wealthy family she is one of the leading cheerleaders at the academy team and considers herself as the queen of the place. Her vibrant pink hair and a tie with the same color she walked around, talking to her phone and taking pictures whenever she had the chance for a good shot.
¨Who's that?¨ Sophie asked, all of the three girls turned to the new student.
¨The girl who `rules´ the academy, Ahri¨ Poppy sighed, annoyed since she knew what was going to happen.
¨Well look at this!¨ The girl with pink hair (dyed probably) said with some sarcasm in her tone ¨More members into the Literature Club?¨
¨Go away Ahri, you're not helping our new members¨ Lux responded, the fact that the popular student brought a lot of people didn't meant any of them would join the club, they would probably laugh at them.
¨Um… we just came here to see how you were doing¨ Taliyah quickly said ¨We had no plans to join the club¨
¨Wait what?!¨ The blonde raised her tone as well as standing from her chair.
Ahri laughed as she got closer to Sophie as if she was about to whisper something to the new student ¨You seem like a stranger to this place, listen to my advice…¨ The popular girl put her arm around the raven haired's neck ¨Don't stick around this people, go for someone different, like me, or the basketball team¨
¨Yeah… no¨ Sophie removed the arm around her and stepped back ¨I'm sorry but I'm not interested¨
¨Mh¨ The student turned ¨If you ever have any information about the Star Guardians try to find me, also don't forget to enter into my blog!¨ With another sarcastic tone the pink haired left, making the four girls comfortable after her and all of the boys following her left.
¨I guess we should all look for other clubs or something¨ The tanned student said ¨So uh… good luck¨
¨Yeah… recommend us too some other students¨ Lux finished the conversation waving as booth Taliyah and Sophie left to search other stands.
¨No¨
¨Pussy¨
¨Just because I don't want to doesn't mean I'm a pussy!¨
¨Pussy¨
¨This is stupid…¨
Ren was looking at this conversation between Ezreal and the president of the boxing club, Vi. This student was taller than the two boys and had a short pink hair with a little shave on one of the sides, she also wore the classic white shirt with a red plain tie but instead of a skirt she wore the same stripped pants that the male students use. The discussion between this two `friends´ was that the Vi wanted Ezreal to join the boxing club, however the latter was not happy about the idea. Reginald on the other hand was silent, his eyes going left and right.
¨It wouldn't be stupid if you said yes¨ Vi was holding a notepad with a lot of names written on them ¨Besides you know that girls love muscular men who would fight for them¨
¨That's a lie, that only applies to you, and even that you are like a man!¨ Ezreal was frowning and almost talking angrily at Vi.
¨Maybe, but I do know of another girl who like muscular people¨ The pink haired grinned and turned her head to face Reginald ¨How about you? Do you fancy any girl? You won't get too far if you don't have any muscles and by the looks of it…¨ Vi tapped one of Ren's arms with the notepad ¨…they are quite poor¨
¨Uh… I'm sorry, I'm not into that kind of stuff¨ The student waved his hands as he shook his head.
¨I knew it!¨ Vi immediately said and threw the notepad to the stand, she didn't care if the list got lost ¨Blondie right here is convincing all of the new students not to participate into a rough club. But you know what? That's ok, when those monsters attack us you will be crying over your sorry asses, wishing that you knew how to fight them¨
¨We have the Star Guardians, they did a pretty good job this past years so I won't be worried about it¨ Ezreal crossed his arms ¨Changing subjects, how is Cait doing with her club?¨
¨Cait?¨ The new student turned his head to Ezreal, despite getting an explanation of some of the people and groups at the academy he was still a rookie to a lot of things.
¨She is Vi's classmate, one year ahead of us, the head of the hall monitors as well as the president of the chess club. Best of the best¨
¨And if you two pricks say anything about her you will know what it feels to be against me on the boxing club¨ The pink haired leaned forward, whispering this last words before pushing the students away and greeting new ones.
The two classmates kept walking around, looking for a different club until they saw something in the distance. The popular student was talking to the girls from the literature club as well as an unknown person and Sophie. They observed everything and how Ahri didn't seem too pleased when she left that place.
¨I'm wondering, if you are interested in Lux, why not join her club?¨ Reginald asked, seeing that Ahri was now mocking at another group of girls from another stand.
¨How would you think she will react if she finds about what I think? I will be a weirdo or some stalker and I will be branded by everyone in the academy until I graduate¨ The blond shook his head ¨I'd rather play safe, besides, it's literature club. Nobody joins there except for a few girls¨
¨And… are they actually worth it?¨ The new kid asked, being eyed by his companion ¨Come on man, you can't judge me¨
¨Eh, you're right¨ He sighed ¨Maybe Janna… she's the president and one year ahead of us, but I do believe she has a boyfriend or something¨ Ezreal looked at Reginald from head to toe ¨And I believe you wouldn't have a chance¨ The boy laughed and the two of them kept walking, only to be interrupted by something.
What seemed to be a regular day ended up with something unexpected, at least for the new students. A few screams and a lot of fingers pointing at the sky caught the attention of a flying monster. The creature had two tentacles at the side and one on the back, the dark blue body along with few details in green just like the enormous eye on the front. Truly a terrifying sight, especially for both Reginald and Sophie who were experiencing their first attack from one of the monsters, this also meant something else: The Star Guardians will show up to stop this entity.
But so far nothing, the creature was floating over the courtyard and looked all of the students who were running away; some others were hiding under the tables. Reginald was already dragged by Ezreal while Sophie by Taliyah, they were hiding behind the walls and pillars together, looking at how the creature was still hovering a few meters from the ground. Everyone remained silent, trying to hide from the tentacle creature but only a couple of students started to notice that someone was still in the open, it was the pink haired student with her phone up and taking pictures at the threat.
¨What is she doing?!¨ Sophie asked, her heart beating ¨She's going to get herself killed!¨
¨That's not the first time she's done something that dangerous¨ Ezreal commented, worried about the popular student. They weren't in good terms but it would be sad to see someone die in this situation.
The flying creature channeled the energy in its eye and the green orb glowed, it wouldn't take long before Ahri gets vaporized but the monster got distracted by something else. The thing flinched at a shield that was thrown at the eye; the student turned and found herself with her true objective, the Star Guardians, or at least two of them. They were featured in the girl's blog, the one with pink hair and a Yordle with big blue ponytails and a hammer.
¨Are those…?¨ Ren said, surprised at the sudden appearance of the protectors.
¨The Star Guardians, well, not all of them at least¨ Taliyah muttered, still wondering why Ahri was taking pictures at the two girls who warned her to leave the courtyard. Everyone cheered when the defenders of the academy appeared but had to shut their voices since the tentacle creature turned to see where those loud noises came from.
The battle started and the two guardians tried to lure the monster away from the other students, especially Ahri who was still in the danger zone. The mage with the baton used her spells to trap the entity as well as shield her companion who was trying to deal as much damage as possible onto the main eye, however the tentacles were shoving the Yordle away.
¨Ahri come on get here¨ Sophie whispered, trying to get the student's attention so she could go to safety but she was still taking pictures, not caring about the possible danger she could be in. The raven haired sighed and quickly ran to where the popular girl was, dragging her by the arm ¨Come on you don't want to get yourself killed over a stupid blog¨
But Ahri removed Sophie's arm and looked at her as if she was pissed ¨Stupid blog?! That thing is getting a copious amount of visits and it gives me revenue for each person that sees those things. If I want to fill my pockets with cash then I have to be close to danger¨
¨So you value some money over your life?!¨ The new girl raised her tone, it was stupid the idea Ahri had in her mind.
¨You can't buy a new pair of shoes with tears and prayers¨ The pink haired retorted with a grin on her face.
¨SOPHIE!¨ Reginald shouted atop of his lungs, they weren't paying attention but the monster was actually focusing on the two girls who were having a discussion.
It took just a few seconds for the creature to launch a ball of energy from its eye and it went directly for both Ahri and Sophie. The latter had to think fast as she pushed the popular student away, however that gave her no option to escape, it was her demise and she tried to cover herself as well as close her eyes. This was going to be messy.
Now that the Star Guardians are released I proceed to update this story. So many clubs and yet a weird Vel'Koz appears out of nowhere to attack the academy. It was nice that the protectors appeared, although not too good for Sophie since she is about to get destroyed.
Talking about destroyed, holy, the new Invasion mode is so nice and hard (especially on that difficulty), too bad the only rewards are a ward or a Champ shard, considering I have all of them I would go for the ward, despite being ugly.
Back to the story some things that I want to mention: The world's population is comprised of humans and Yordles, most of the Champs that are creatures or weird stuff are humans and look like that. No, Ahri doesn't have fox ears or tails; no, Anivia is a human and not a bird. The only exceptions are the monsters that appear and the wildlife.
Also, Ahri isn't a Star Guardian, I know all the new SG collection and that but she is not a guardian... yet :)
Thanks to everyone who's been reading the story as well as following and faving (is that a word) hope you enjoy the chapters as I post them!
