Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'sXWizard101: Arc 1 Chapter 3-Enrollment
An hour after Yusei's team's encounter with Malistaire at the tower, they all agreed to see Headmaster Ambrose at his office. Gamma gave them instructions that guided the 7 heroes towards the area known as 'The Commons'. This area was the central hub of Wizard City, where every wizard of every level would simply hang out and chat with one another.
"Wow! It's beautiful here!" exclaimed Akiza. "I didn't know wizards were good at gardening."
"I agree, Akiza. Why would anyone want to take over this place?" asked Luna.
"Perhaps Headmaster Ambrose can tell us more about this world we are in and more about Malistaire," stated Yusei. "According to the directions Gamma gave us, his office is over here." He pointed towards a large, stone building in the northern part of The Commons. Everyone nodded and they entered the Headmaster's Office.
"My apologies for the excitement, young Wizards," smiled Ambrose. "There are forces at work making things…disorderly. Welcome now, to the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts."
"Ravenwood School of Magical Arts?" repeated Crow. "Are we all really wizards in this world?"
Headmaster Ambrose nodded. "Now, on to your enrollment. There are seven magic instructors here in Ravenwood. You should visit them to get to know them better." He then handed each of them a magical compass. "You can use these to find the Ravenwood Tunnel. The main schoolhouses are there circling the Great Tree, Bartleby. Return to me when you're finished."
"Thank you, Headmaster," said Yusei. "Alright, team, let's go."
"I can't wait to see who my new teacher is!" exclaimed Leo.
Everyone left the headmaster's office and with the guidance of their magic compasses, went through the tunnel as instructed by Ambrose. When they reached the other end, they were even more amazed than when they first laid their eyes on The Commons.
"Whoa! This is crazy," muttered Jack. "And the very thought we are wizards here just makes this even more crazier."
"So, this must be Ravenwood," smiled Kalin. "It must be a really great place to learn."
"And that giant tree in the middle must be Bartleby," said Akiza. "He looks ancient."
"There's only one way to find out," stated Yusei. "Alright, everyone. Let's split up and speak to our instructors that Headmaster Ambrose told us about. Afterwards, let us meet back here in the center."
Everyone nodded and separated. Yusei's compass vibrated and pointed towards a humanoid dog-man standing in front of Bartleby.
"Hmm, that's strange. My compass is telling me to go speak to that guy in the middle," thought Yusei. The crab-headed duelist approached the dog-man and waved to him.
"Um, hello, the name's Yusei Fudo, and according to the instructions that were given to me, you must be my teacher, correct?"
The dog-man smiled and waved at him. "Jolly good to meet you, new student. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Arthur Wethersfield. I am originally from Marleybone, which is a much different world than this."
"Marleybone?" asked Yusei.
Professor Wethersfield continued with his introduction. "As a lad, I was always interested in Magic, but they don't practice magic in Marleybone. When I got older I spent many years studying here in Ravenwood. But for the past ten years I've been in Krokotopia. I came back to train students in a form of magic called 'Sorcery' that deals with the Balance of All Things. It is more advanced that the other schools and harder to master, but its power is unbelievable! Come by later if you want to learn more. Cheers!"
"Sorcery…Balance of All Things…so that's what my letter meant…" thought Yusei.

Meanwhile, Jack entered the Fire School, where he was met with a rather flamboyant-looking woman with hair that looked as if someone set it on fire. She was also wearing a red-hot dress and quite a lot of make-up.
"So even in this world, wizards have fashion too," smirked Jack. "Hey, my name's Jack Atlas, and are you my professor?"
The flamboyant woman smiled at him. "Hello. Welcome to the School of Fire. I'm Madame Falmea."
"School of Fire, huh? Interesting," said Jack.
"Ah yes, you're a new student here. You definitely have that spark about you," stated Falmea. "Here I instruct students how to be powerful Pyromancers! But Fire can be quite dangerous. We must not be rash, lest we destroy that which we mean to achieve. Come see me after you have finished your tour. I'm always up for fanning the flames so students can learn more about Pyromancy."
"Pyromancy? That's just the style for the Master of Faster!" exclaimed Jack.

Luna went inside the Ice School as her compass instructed her to do so, and once she stepped inside, her body immediately began to shiver.
"I-it's so cold in here!" cried Luna. "Headmaster Ambrose should have told me to bring along a jacket in his letter!"
"Welcome, dear!" called out the voice of an elderly woman.
"Uh? Did someone just call out to me?" asked Luna. As she turned around to find the source of the voice, Luna gasped as her eyes fell on what appeared to be a very small elderly woman with wings. She was dressed head to toe in an ice-blue dress and looked very kind.
"So, you must be my instructor, correct?" asked Luna.
The elderly fairy nodded. "I am Lydia Greyrose, your Ice Magic Professor. Ice Magic, or Thaumaturgy, is not for the impatient or flighty! My goodness, no! You'll need to study hard to learn Ice Magic, but I am sure you will be great at it. And I'll always offer a hand if you need it. Come see me later when you are ready to begin your lessons. You have much to learn from Ice!"
"Ice magic? Wow…" thought Luna in wonder.
Crow entered the Storm School and was confronted by a large booming noise that echoed like thunder. His first instinct was to cover his ears.
"Man, I thought thunder was supposed to be outdoors!" he exclaimed. He stepped forward to the main desk and saw a frog wearing a fancy purple tuxedo. "Huh? You're my teacher?"
"Ah ha! A new student!" exclaimed the frog.
"Whoa! He can talk!" jumped Crow.
"Welcome to the School of Storm, also known as Divination! For those who have chosen to master this Magic are known as Diviners," stated the frog. "I am Professor Halston Balestrom, Master Inventor! Oh, yes, and Professor of Storm Magic. Who can master the power of the Storm Lords and the Seas? Anyone who can harness their creativity. You look like a smart one! Check back when you are ready to start learning how to release your inner thunder!"
"Release my inner thunder, eh? That's just like my kinda style!" chuckled Crow.

Leo entered the Myth School looking extremely excited to learn all there was to know about being a wizard. However, the moment he saw who the Myth instructor was, the mood quickly became sour.
"Hello! My name is Leo, and this is my first day of school!" he exclaimed cheerfully.
The teacher standing before him, on the other hand, looked less than enthusiastic . He looked very serious and frowned at Leo while tapping his wand against the palm of his hand. The stern teacher was wearing a fancy yellow robe with dark blue highlights and he was bald.
"Let me guess. Another Conjuror want-to-be taking the Ravenwood tour? How quaint," muttered the teacher in a rather bored-sounding voice.
"What do you mean want-to-be? Of course I want to learn!" shouted Leo.
The professor shook his head in frustration. "I wish they would send us some adept pupils for once. Well, if you want to attempt to learn some Myth spells, come back later and I will see how well you pay attention. Now, leave me alone."
"Geez, what's his problem? I can't believe this is my magic teacher!" complained Leo.

Akiza entered the Life School and the first thing she noticed upon entering was lush green vines and lovely read flowers growing on the walls. A lovely smell also emanated from them as she approached her instructor. The Life School instructor looked like an anthropomorphic cow wearing a green kimono. Akiza thought it was quite strange, but she was well-mannered to keep her thoughts to herself.
"Hello, my name is Akiza Izinski," smiled the brunette-haired woman. "This is quite a lovely classroom."
"Welcome, my dear young Wizard," said the cow. "I am Moolinda Wu, Professor of the School of Life. This school celebrates the living, ever-green power of creation and vitality."
"Hmm, that kind of reminds me of what Yusei told me about my powers at home," said Akiza.
Moolinda Wu continued. "If you listen carefully to your surroundings, you'll hear Life Magic all around. Just a few notes can lift one's troubles, purify one's spirit, and restore life. Soon I will teach you how. Come visit me when you're ready to learn more."
"Wow, Life Magic sounds incredible. I'm sure I can use it to help others!" exclaimed Akiza.
Kalin glanced at his compass, trying to figure out where his school was. The magical device led him to what appeared to be gaping chasm and he nearly walked into it. Thankfully, a magic force field prevented him from falling off the cliff.
"Ahh! Gosh, I need to be more careful next time," the silver head muttered. "Hmm? That's bizarre. I'm sure my compass lead me to the Death School. If so, then what's with the giant hole? Maybe that person can tell me about it."
Kalin walked up to a young person who was almost the same age as he was. The other wizard was standing in front of the chasm and was dressed in a black and grey tunic with skulls decorating it.
"Um, hello. My name is Kalin Kessler, and I was wondering if you could tell me where the School of Death is?"
The other wizard turned and gestured towards the hole. "Have you coming looking for the Death School? Well, you found where it used to be. This gaping chasm is all that's left after it was torn from Ravenwood."
Kalin's mouth dropped in shock when heard what the substitute teacher told him. "But, how is that possible?"
"It is said that Malistaire, the Death Professor, caused it to disappear. I'm not sure what happened to the school, but you'll find many rumors around town about it," replied the young man.
"Malistaire? That was the guy me and the others ran into when we first got here!" gasped Kalin. "And you're telling me he used to be the Death Professor here?"
The other wizard nodded sadly. "Oh, I'm Malorn Ashthorn. I don't mean to boast, but I used to be one of Malistaire's top students. Now, I'm about all that's left, so I try to teach the new students. So, if you want, I can teach you some Death spells, or Necromancy. If you're up for it, stop by any time."
"Thank you for the info, Malorn. Now, to inform Yusei and the others about what I just learned," said Kalin as he headed back to the middle of the school grounds.
