Kiretta had finished unpacking the necessities of her stuff. Like
her gems and books (So many books). Now she was going over the schedule that the headmaster had made out for her. Not like she was going to follow it. More the likely the schedule was going to just sit there and collect dust or something. Sure, she'd do everything, but not by the schedule. The schedule could go spontaneously combust. Speaking of things she hoped would spontaneously combust, she was suddenly reminded of the commander and chief blueberry. Why? Who knows.
"Well, might as well get some of this over with," She said taking out a few of the papers the higher summons teacher wanted her to do over break to prepare for a small quiz that she would be missing over the trip and will therefore be taking after the trip. The whole point was to see which summoning class she belonged in. So far she is in Lesser Necro summoning, your basic necromancer thing, calling on the spirits of creatures long dead. Not something she much cared for but is taking it anyway simply because it's a summoning class. She also made it into Ancient summoning, things like The Sylph of the wind, Gnome The spirit of earth,… The sphinx guardian of Egypt. That sort of thing. So now here she is, it's either Basic summoning or higher summoning, and she really wanted to get into higher summoning. Even if she did bomb the test and was put into basic summoning, she'd read and memorized enough books on summoning to be promoted to Higher Summoning anyway. Although doing so had caused her to slip up in her normie school, but that's okay. The only reason she even agreed to it was so she didn't have to put up with Derek every day of the week. She wouldn't even wish that on blueberry boy, and she would wish a lot of things on him.
Looking through her bag she also found that she had a few papers containing a few of the lesser summoning rituals from her Necro Teacher, along with a book and a note telling her to practice summoning the power of Undine, Spirit of Water. Kiretta opened the book and flipped to the page indicated on the note. Seeing the incantation she was supposed to memorize simply to summon her power, Kiretta cringed at the though of what she would have to memorize to summon Undine herself.
Putting the book aside she looked at her Necro rituals. How the hell does he expect me perform an ancient ritual for summoning the undead AT AN ISLAND RESORT! She thought angrily. She had to successfully summon at least one undead warrior before the trip was over or she would be shoved in Basic Necromancy. Not like she wanted to summon dead things anyway. Then again she did want to take Demon Rituals. Not that she wanted to use it or anything, but she did want to work with Investigating magic related death and disappearances when she was out of school, and knowledge of dark magic was always useful in that area, and the only way to get into Demon rituals is to master Necro Summoning. So she didn't have much of a choice.
Kiretta decided to get a few of the Higher Summoning papers out of the way then she would start with Undine tomorrow morning before everyone else woke up. Undine, if you weren't one of the ancient and powerful summon spirits, I'd damn you, She thought opening three different books on summoning. One being Summons and Gems, another was her basic summoning rituals text book, and the last was The Encyclopedia of Summon Creatures and Mythical Beings. She grabbed the stack of ten or twelve papers from the Higher summons teacher and her 999 helpful spells and 25 not so helpful ones book -which she had brought for the soul propose of being her writing surface when she was too lazy to drag her ass to a table- and settled herself on the bed, after putting her Good Charlotte CD in the small radio she'd somehow managed to wedge into one of her bags. With three large books in front of her and a large stack of paper in hand, she sighed and began to search through Summons and Gems for what Gem is best used to increase the power of a Behemoth.
Takeshi, Daisuke, Jing, Satoshi, the Haradas and some others, went down to the beach immediately after they finished unpacking their things. Well, Satoshi was dragged down to the beach by Daisuke and the Harada twins. He really had no say in the matter.
Currently everyone was engaged in their on little activity. Daisuke and the Harada's were building a sand castle -as far away from the shore as possible, as they've learned from past experience- Takeshi occupied himself with taking pictures of unsuspecting girls, Jing was laying stretched out on the sun seemingly asleep with Kir perched on an parasol over looking the beach, as Satoshi sat under that very parasol looking out over the ocean.
"Hey, Hiwatari," Daisuke called over to Satoshi leaving the Harada twins on their own for moment. "Why don't you go see if Miss Kiretta is done unpacking," Daisuke had learned not to call her by her last name after he got smacked upside the head with a lunch tray and told 'Never again,' But no matter how hard she tries she cannot make him stop calling her miss. She'd tried spraying him with water, simply telling him no, even lab rat training won't make him stop. So over time she just gave up.
"What?" Satoshi snapped out of his daze.
"Go see if Kiretta will come down to the beach," Takeshi said, making Daisuke's simple request sound like a demand.
Satoshi inwardly groaned. Why him? Why did he have to get her? Can't Daisuke tell they don't get along, or does he simply not care? Deciding it would be a waste of his time to argue he stood and made his way back to the hotel, thinking back to Takeshi's rambles, through which he had reluctantly learned the location of the Harada twins room, and Kiretta's room. When he reached her room, he found himself suddenly nervous. Sighing he knocked on the door and waited. Nothing. Balling his fist he began to bang on the door. "Kiretta!" Still nothing. Pressing his ear to the door, he realized just why there was no response. My Chemical Romance. Being played loud enough to drown out the sound of some one banging on her door. "Of course," he sighed. Not wanting to have walked all the way up there for nothing, he tried again calling louder incase there was at least a small chance of being heard. Nope. Nothing. He began to reach for the handle to check if she'd locked it. Then a thought crossed his mind. What if she was changing? Just then he was about to give up he heard her scream in frustration and some muffled shout that sounded like she was damning some one. Pressing his ear back against the door he could just make out "…mancy latter on in life!" and he officially decided she wasn't changing and turned the handle. It wasn't locked. As he opened door the he was hit with a wall of sound. He immediately spotted her sitting on her bed surrounded by books and papers.
"Bah!" She said as she threw a paper off the bed, glanced at another paper in front of her, grabbed a pencil rather aggressively, and began flipping through on of the books.
He watched as the paper gently float to the ground. "Kiretta!" He, all but yelled. Trying to get her attention. There's no way a radio can be this loud, he thought walking over to pick up the paper. She didn't even notice him. He was practically next to her and she didn't see him.
Looking at the paper he just picked up, the first thing he read was Summoning an undead Warrior. "What the hell?" He whispered, knowing full well she couldn't hear him. Finding himself suddenly very curious at so what she was doing, he maneuvered himself about the bed so he was standing directly behind her.
She was skimming through a page of the thinnest book on the bed, apparently something about the magical properties of gems. While she flipped the page of another book with her right hand. The book she was flipping through looked like one of their school text books, aside from the pictures of strange creatures and the few side notes that were written in some strange language. The third book was the largest book and hadn't been opened yet, on it in dark purple letters was The Encyclopedia of Summon Creatures and Mythical Beings.
"Gargoyles are supposed to be creatures of fire… but their made of stone… which falls under earth…" She muttered to herself still unaware of his presence. "ARGH!" She tugged at her hair and began to rapidly flip through the pages of the first book.
She suddenly tensed and so did he. But curiosity got the better of him so he didn't move. Without warning her hand shot over to the encyclopedia and she feverishly flipped through the pages, stopped, and began reading under the section labeled Gargoyle. Stopping halfway through the article, she sighed and looked back at the paper in front of her. "I will NOT fail that test! I will NOT be put in Basic Summoning," She growled the last two words as if it would kill her to say them.
Satoshi was simply amazed. She was obviously doing some kind of studying, which is more then he ever saw her did in school. Leaning to the side a little he was able to get a decent view of the paper that was causing her such frustration. There was a series of questions, which she was answering on a separate piece of paper and was now racking her brain on the second to last question on the sheet. Which elemental gem would be used to increase the power of a Gargoyle? The question struck him as odd. Why the hell would she need to know that? Despite this he glanced up at The Encyclopedia of Summon Creatures and Mythical Beings and read over the article on Gargoyles that she only read half way earlier. "Onyx for strength, and Topaz for power over fire," He said not thinking about the consequences of it.
"Huh?" She heard him, surprisingly, but it hadn't registered in her mind what she heard.
He sighed, not sure weather or not he was going to regret this or not when she did realize his was in her room. "It's right here," He pointed to a section near the bottom of the page.
"Oh," She said reading it over.
She's rather slow today, he thought wandering how long it will take to click.
"Thanks Sa-" She tensed as it finally clicked. "Satoshi!" She whipped around to see him, her eyes so wide he thought she was scared. But that quickly went away. "What the hell are you doing in my room!?" She stood and turned off the radio. "This better be good,"
