Ruby POV

Not much really happened in Sunday other than me and Lavere (plus Diane and Valrain) getting some ice cream. Before I knew it, classes started and I was nervous, judging from what happened at my first night, alot of the students don't really like Lavere for some reason other than his violent temper. I switched my skirt for the academy's uniform and it was alright, a blue uniform with yellow and black stripes on the sides. There's a symbol of a knight as the school's symbol, representing the students as the future light. I went over to my locker, number 32-C to put away Crescent Rose. Don't worry baby, I'll be back for you.A couple minutes later, I got into class 1-C, apparently called 'Light Halls'. Wonder why its called that. Upon stepping in, I was introduced by the teacher of this classroom. His name is Martus Dracolocke and he's the combat instructor of the class. "And with that, I hope you treat Ms.Rose with the same amount of respect as you do with each other." I went over to sit with Lavere, who had this tired look about him, did he stay up late? Most of the students stared daggers at Lavere, some staring right at me. I don't want this to be a normal thing, thankfully Diane and Valrain sat next to us, and that broke the stream of stares at us. What happened in the cafeteria yesterday must've been pretty scary for the other students. Martus talked about how their aura works and how they can cast spells, this is definitely different from my aura in Remnant. He went on to talk about how there are 3 types of spells that people can cast. Support is self explanatory as it can help others and the user like healing wounds. Technique is essentially the type of spell where people can perform attacks like Diane's Gaia Force. Finally, the last type is actually something that I find interesting, as this type of spell is somewhat rare, hard to perform due to the amount of aura needed to even use it. This type is called Guardian, and it summons a fighter that's a projection of the caster's spirit. Class went on like normal and soon enough, we actually got to take a 20 minute break. That's when I notice another student walking up to Lavere, he has dark orange hair and is the same size as Lavere. This guy seems like he wants to talk to Lavere, but I may as well watch to see what happens next.

Lavere POV

Oh great, looks like he's back. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to put up with him. He's always wanting to know what's going on and frankly, it's none of his business. This guy is the King of Light, the actual number one rookie of class 1-C.

"Yo Lavere, I heard that there's a new student here. Where are they hm?" Guess he's interested in Ruby, I just hope he isn't THAT interested in her like with Jerald. "Well she's standing next to me and Val." I saw Ruby having this worried look on her face. "Lavere, are you sure he's safe to hang around with? I mean he looks like he's seen better days..." Rude much? "Oh, my apologies about my appearance, by the way, that weapon of yours... I heard rumors about how you somehow have a high level weapon, is it true?" Guess he's interested in Crescent Rose and how she got it. "Oh, well yeah I guess... I can show you Crescent Rose later. Can I see yours as well?" Heh, he's really into talking about his weapon, all it really is is a battle axe that's real heavy. "Well I can show you my axe, let's get to your locker so we can get your weapon." I just hope that Ruby doesn't piss him off by bringing up his family. And with that both Roxas and Ruby went to her locker to get her gun-scythe. Roxas, I hope you don't put Ruby in danger, Jerald is bound to bump into the both of you.

Ruby POV

So what's your axe like?" I want to know about his weapon, does it have a mecha shift contraption like with Crescent Rose? "My axe is heavy but it works at slicing monster heads off." A heavy axe huh? I'll try asking him to see if I can make it lighter some day. We got to my locker and I proceeded to show him my baby, told you I'd be back for you. "Here she is! Presenting Crescent Rose, aka the best weapon ever!" I really loved my weapon so much, she's perfect for me. "The rumors are right... level 3 scythe that can change into a sniper rifle. The perfect combination both of close range and long range combat." Knew it! He really is amazed at my baby!

"Well if it isn't little Red!" I recognize that voice! I turned around to see the same muscular man I met at the cafeteria, and it seems like the axe wielder knew who the student is. "Oh hi Jerald, I see that you've gotten a new makeover on your jaw eh?" Seems like he didn't like this Jerald person. "Shut up Roxas, I don't have time for your bullcrap!" So Roxas is his name, seems like he's a chill guy. As for Jerald... no. Just no. "Whatever, come on Rubes, lets hang out with Diane and Val. They probably need help with something." So far Roxas seems like a good guy, like he's got nothing to worry about. "Well screw you too Roxy!" Its official, I don't like Jerald. And with that, the bell rang and we went back to class. I don't know why Lavere seemed so skeptical about Roxas. That ended up changing when combat class started as the final class for the day.

Lavere POV

Alright! Listen up you hatchlings! We're going to have a couple matches here, when your called up go your side of the arena and get into your battle position!" Martus was one of the few people I look up to, and its all because of his performance as an instructor. He had this air of fear radiating from him whenever he slightly rose his voice. "Our first match will be between the 2 top ranking Fighters of the class, Lavere Stryker and Roxas Garlan." Me and Roxas, despite our interactions from other people's perspective thinking we're on equal terms, we actually felt the opposite with each other. And its all because I was born in another kingdom, the kingdom of darkness. People feared the darkness and as a result, it was hated by a majority, and I was born in said place. "Yo Lavere, want to take the first strike? I'll let you hit me in the shin if you want." I can see from the arena that Ruby was worried for the both of us. She's not going to like what happens next. I slowly reached for Moonlight Zwart as Roxas reached for his axe Heaven Maiden. "Match starts in 3. 2. 1. Fight!" Upon hearing Martus finish his announcement, we immediately locked blades with each other, and started slashing. My blade is faster but his axe is heavier and more durable. We soon started to bust out our magic. Roxas went for a basic light bullet while I countered with simply slashing at it, deflecting the attack. I noticed that Roxas is starting to get more aggressive as the fight goes on. He started to get progressively faster with his attacks, as if he's trying to tire me. Things started get worse as he started to frequently using his spells, mixtures of offensive spells to get me away from him, and healing to recover from the damage I dealt before. The moment I started feel sluggish, I knew I couldn't win this fight. I glanced at Ruby as I prepared for the worse, Roxas always finished his fights with a spell that he created. "It was a nice fight, sorry for the minor cuts I gave you, but Im going to be number one in this entire school." The wounds I got weren't minor. I was bleeding relatively quickly, and he managed to injure both of my legs with his axe. The next moment I could make out some words coming from his mouth, but it sounded quiet. "... You don't belong in the light, demon." And with that he went for a cut to my knee and then proceeded to knock me out with his spell.A green circle appeared from his hand as Roxas made some signs with his free hand and fired his signature spell. "Emerald Soul!" Several balls of green energy assaulted my body as I tumbled into the ground in obvious pain, making Roxas the winner. "And that makes the winner of this match Roxas!" After Martus declared Roxas the winner I felt like I'm going to blank out soon. Before I did, Ruby rushed over to my side and she put my hand over her neck. "Are you OK?! I can't believe he dealt a number on you... And he seemed like a nice guy..." I guess she wanted to be friends with Roxas, after getting 3 new friends in a week you'd want to make more right? "I asked our instructor if we can go to your dorm room earlu and he says that we're allowed to for the day." I guess I got to lay bed for a while now huh? Soon enough we got in to my room, Ruby carrying me in the bridal position. She proceeded to carefully place me in the bed, I was drained from the day and I just want to sleep until Tuesday begins. All of a sudden, I felt a warm sensation on my chest as I glanced at Ruby. She placed her hands at my chest and is somehow healing me. After a while, most of the injuries I got from the fight were healed pretty quickly, how did she do that? "Just stay in bed for a while, I'll get something for us to eat." She has something that I don't, and I want to make sure she's alright. I drifted off as my vision went blurry due to exhaustion and before I knew it, I was asleep, rather comfortabley in fact.

Ruby POV

As I stared at the strawberries and the cookies in my plate, I was pondering why Roxas acted viscously towards Lavere when they fought. Just then Diane and Valrain encountered me as I head towards Lavere's dorm. "Hey Ruby, whats up?" Diane had a worried look on her face as she spoke to me. She was wondering about Lavere's condition. "He's alright Diane, he just needs time to recover from it. Roxas went overboard with his fight... Again." So Roxas was like this before, I should try to help him as best as I can when I meet him again. "I got to go now, got to make sure that Lavere gets something to eat." Maybe he likes strawberries and cookies. "With only fruit and cookies? At least it tastes nice. I'll see ya tomorrow. Bye Rubes." I have to make sure that Roxas doesn't do that again, though if Diane has taught me anything when we first met, it's that magic here can get catastrophic if the caster wanted to. If only I'm stronger,I could stand a chance against the students here. Maybe when Lavere feels better, I'll ask him to see if I can get him to train me, just hope that punches aren't involved...
