Harry groaned as he woke. He blinked and his eyes adjusted to the
darkness. His hands were tied together above his head and he was sitting in
a huge stone chair.
Not a very good position to fall asleep. He thought grimly as his muscles complained about the unease of his current predicament. When he looked up, he saw ten people staring at him with curiosity and mild distrust.
"Err.Hello?" He said tentatively, not sure on how to approach this situation. "Where am I and who are you?"
"I believe we should be asking you that."
"My name is Harry Potter." Harry replied.
The man didn't show any recognition of the name and instead said, "Harry, I'm going to ask you to keep you questions to yourself after I explain because if not, we're going to take a long time."
Harry nodded and the man continued.
"My name is Kaiser Klementine and this is the Bermuda Academy of the Art of War and Magic. It is very unlikely that you may have heard about us before, as we haven't communicated with the outside world for generations.
As you can see, we also do not like outsiders and if they stumble upon our place, we usually changed their memory and leave them on the mainland. But for you, it is a special case.
You have great potential and you already can manipulate the elements. We, the council felt that you will become a student here. The students here all have great magics. They are usually those that have odd abilities beyond those disgustingly simple spells so you will see lots of different mages here.
Each student is apprenticed to a master. We have all kinds of masters here to fit each kind of student. If you pass the end-of-year test, you are officially a master. There's no amount of years at the academy. If you are slow in learning, you stay the longest and vice versa.
We learn the art of war here. Every student must learn the basics on how to use the weapons and how to ride a horse. We also learn different type of magics here. Each student must learn the foundations of necromancy, sorcery, enchantry and soul magic. We also teach war strategies and tactics.
Once you get apprenticed by a master, the master will be your mentor and parent-like figure for at least five years. So, you may understand that masters tend to get possessive over their student and always think their student is correct. Also, masters like to show-off their student's abilities by letting them fight another student.
And, there's another thing. If you became a student, you will have to be on guard all the time as prejudiced students might attack you at any time.
Even though I am head of the council, I do not control anything. I am still a master and the only reason we have a council is because we need them to settle fights and prevent them from getting out of hand. We also switch positions once a week so every master gets to be the head.
The only true power here is the school itself. If it is displease with you, it might lock you in a room and never let you out. As ludicrous as it might sound, the school is alive and it is swarmed with magic.
Now, we must get you apprenticed. We let the orb choose your mentor. The mentor's name will appear once it has chosen. You must also drop your last name as the pupils take their master's last name. Each name has its complete history and you can look it up later. Now let's get you sorted."
He said while taking out a bluish colored orb and handing it to Harry.
Harry took it cautiously into his hands. Suddenly, the orb started glowing brightly and black letters appeared.
Kaiser Klementine.
