(Both Accepted! We may begin and we shall start with the entrance ceremony! I'll edit the students list in a bit.)

The student council president stood on top of the stage, behind the microphone. Once all the students gathered inside the auditorium, she began speaking. "Welcome to Blade & Mana Academy! All of new students have come here for one purpose and one goal only. You are here to become wizards, swordsmen, and magic swordsmen. Some of will join the Imperial Army to serve by the king and queen's side. Some of you might become party of the military. Some of you, might just become personal tutors. Either way, you are for some reason to accomplish a goal of yours. As your student council, I swear we will do everything in my power to help you accomplish it. There will be blood. There will be sweat. Some of you might fail. Some of you might succeed. Graduating here is not easy and I only expect the upmost skill and effort from all you. That is all."

The student council president looked around the room for one last glance before saying something else into the microphone. "All of you may now proceed to homeroom. Your classes and homeroom are on the pamphlet you received. On that is information about your typical classes and your teacher. Because today is your first day, after the homeroom bell are free to proceed to whatever you want to do as long as it is within the school limits and follows the school rules and code of conduct. Get familiar with the school. Dismissed," she finally said before turning her back to the crowd and walking off the stage.
---------------------------------------------
Draco stood up immediately and left the auditorium. Before he could walk very far, he stopped in the hall and leaned against the window to take a look about the pamphlet. On the pamphlet, it explained how homerooms worked. Homerooms were divided by occupation and then further more by Class, representing how skill you were and essentially your grade. Age was not a factor. Only skill, knowledge, and how long you have been in the academy applied. Draco, having no stand out abilities, skill, or knowledge, was apart of the C Class Magic Swordsmen Homeroom. This was where most new Magic Swordsmen students would be going. He looked at the map to locate the building for C Class. He eventually found it.

Many people were walking past him. Draco continued to flip through the pages, glancing at bits there and there. Once he skimmed through the pamphlet, roughly 30 pages with a good amount of text on each page, he got off of the window and proceeded to head to C Class.
---------------------------------------------
Maya was not new to the school. This was in fact her second year. All the other students who were not new were in the Cafeteria since that is where they told to wait. Once an announcement was made for them to proceed to homeroom, Maya jumped quickly out of her seat. Maya glanced around trying to find her best friend, Amber, with no luck. Sighing, she proceeded out of the Cafeteria and headed towards homeroom. As she walked to homeroom, she got caught in the crowd of new students. Glancing at the newbies in front her, she spotted Draco but for only a millisecond. Not enough time to judge in any way of sorts. Suddenly, people complaining, groaning, etc, were heard behind her. Amber burst through the crowd of students and appeared at Maya's side, walking with her. "Hey! I was looking for you! Why'd you leave without me?" Amber asked her. Maya shrugged. "I was looking for you earlier in the Cafeteria but I couldn't find you. So....I just left without you. Sorry!" she replied. Amber waved her hand, signaling Maya to not worry about it. By this time, Draco had already begun walking to homeroom. Maya and Amber were too busy chatting and weren't paying attention to those around them. Maya accidentally bumped into Draco, knocking the pamphlet out of his hand.

"Oh sorry!" Maya exclaimed and picked up the pamphlet and handed it back to Draco. "Thanks." Draco replied. As Maya stood up, and they locked eyes, Maya knew exactly who this boy was. "Bright blue eyes. Grey and black hair. Distinct face. It has to be him. It has to be Draco. That jerk! I'll kill him later!" she thought. "Yeah. Save it punk. You better be grateful. It's not common for a princess like me to help lowly poor scum like you!" she spat and then literally spat on his face. She suddenly went from kind to hateful and cold.

"S-Sorry..." Draco said, unsure of what just happened. He grabbed the wipe that was provided on the inside of his uniform and wiped her spit off of his face before tucking it away. He just sighed and shook as he continued on his face. "Some people..." he mumbled to himself.

Lise got up and headed towards the exit. She stopped by the door briefly when she heard her name and looked over her shoulder. Troye was walking toward her, so she turned around and crossed her arms. Once she reached him she said, "Where were you? I was looking for you." She said angrily. Troye shrugged. "Two of the oter first year girls had me sit wit them. I don't mean to be unkind, but they were a nightmare." Troye said, chuckling and shaking his head. Lise sighed and shook her head. "Whatever." She said.
They began walking through the hall, flipping through their pamphlets. "Hm, I guess we're in different homerooms." Lise said. Troye sighed. "Alright then. See you darling." He said, waving and heading towards his homeroom. Lise went and sat down near the door in her homeroom, flipping through the pamphlet once more. Troye was recognized by three people in his homeroom, C Class Master Swordsmen Homeroom, and they started up a conversation while waiting for class to start.

Draco eventually made it to the C Class Magic Swordsmen Homeroom. As he walked through the door, anybody who even bothered to notice and look at him could clearly tell that he was already having a rough morning. Draco sighed as he continued to talk to a random desk by a window in the back row. They didn't have their seats labeled, so he assumed they could sit anywhere they want. Draco just wanted a window to stare through when he is trying to ignore people and he didn't like attention so the back row was perfect.
--------------------------------------
Maya made it to her homeroom--B Class Swordsmen. Maya, Amber, and their other friends gathered around in the back and began to gossip. Some of them were gossiping while other were talking about how some of the new guys were really cute. Somewhere in there, he heard someone talking about who she assumed was Draco because they described as tall, had bright blue eyes and black and grey hair, and cringed. When it came to her turn to speak, she started ranting about her family history and how they were famous for their swordsmen and how Draco was a disgrace, she bumped into him this morning, and one of them called him cute, yada yada. Maya was clearly annoyed and also having a bad morning, so the others tried to comfort her.

Oliver had listened intently to the speech, and rose as she dismissed everyone. He brushed off his little pink skirt, and adjusted the collar of his pastel pink turtleneck. He exited the room with the flood of students, fiddling with the messenger bag slung ove this shoulder. He crossed his arms, popping his neck as he walked.

He snatched a pamphlet that was stuck to the window, and flipped through it. He looked at the map on the back, and followed the directions to his necessary class. C Class Magic Swordsman. He smiled. He entered the homeroom slowly, and sat down at an open desk. He shifted, placing his bag on the floor beside him. He blinked, glancing around.

Lise looked around her homeroom, B Class Swordsmen. She was kind of disappointed about not getting into A class, but it was her first year. She read through the rules, making sure she remembered every word, and also every loophole. It didn't hurt to be cautious. She looked through her schedule, making a mental note to ask Troye about his later.

Meanwhile, Troye has sat down in the back, now talking to an even bigger group. They all exchanged stories about their breaks, and when it was Troye's turn to speak, he talked about how he spent summer in France with his family. Eventually they all sat down and Troye looked at his schedule, thinking hard. He looked up to see a girl and a boy and tiredly began talking to them. Sometimes, he really hated his family.

Troye immediately felt a wave of discomfort and made a face. He got up and quickly went through his neatly organized bag, pulling out a very clean rag and a spray bottle. He immediately began to clean his desk and chair. Someone came up behind him chuckling. He finished cleaning his desk and chair before turning around. He sighed when he saw who it was. "Paris." He said. Paris laughed. "Troye. So I guess the rumors about you being here were true." He said. "Who else would clean their desk of all things?" Troye shook his head. "Look, I don't mean to offend you, but could you please leave me alone?" He asked. Paris glared at him. "So the little Prince doesn't want to associate with us lowly peasants eh? I see how it is." He said, his voice getting louder and drawing the attention of people around them. Troye hit his lip and looked around. "You're making a scene!" He hissed. Paris just chuckled, and Troye began to sweat. This was bad. He didn't want to star a fight, especially not on the first day of school.

Name: Aias Wright
Age: 18
Gender:
Height: 5'07"
Sexuality: Homoromantic Asexual
Nationality: Greek / Canadian
Occupation: Wizard
Magic:
Aias can manipulate a form of magical energy, it has many uses but if it is used too often or for too long it can "drain" the user, which can be fatal.
History:
Aias's Greek ancestors had migrated to Canada around 400 years ago along with several other families and merchants. While some chose to leave, his ancestors decided to stay because of the scarcity of jobs back in Greece.

Aias was born in a fairly rural area, he was an only child and spent most of his early years inside his home, reading or playing with toys. His parents were strict, but in a good way, they encouraged him to learn and broaden his horizons. Because of this, (and a few other reasons) Aias took his schooling very seriously, and he was often confused when he saw other students taking advantage of their teachers by fooling around in class.

All this noise and distraction prevented Aias from reaching his full potential, his mother soon knew this learning environment was not for him, and pulled him out of his private school at the age of ten. From then on he was homeschooled, his mother was now his teacher, it was this way for a very long time.

His early teen years were his most troubling, as for any teenager. Aias didn't have many connections, or friends for that matter. He hardly left the house and his basic, daily routine was all that he had. Wake up, school, go to sleep, wake up, school, go to sleep. This made the boy feel very lonely and isolated from reality. He became very self cautious of himself, and of those around him.

Aias Wright's body stopped generating melanin at around the age of 14, and was shocked to discover a gray/white streak of hair on his head. He sought for his parent's knowledge and guidance, as he was confused and thought something was wrong with him. His father said that on his side of the family this was not uncommon, and even some of Aias's closest family had started graying early on. This information reassured Aias to some degree, but he felt like this distanced himself from other normal, people, and that it made him abnormal. Soon, at age 17 his hair was fully gray/white.

Eighteen years old, he was a young man now, and his parents knew that all too well. To progress his studies and magical capabilities his parents enrolled him in Blade & Mana Academy, one last gift for their little boy. From there he said his farewells, and set off to the campus, both eager and nervous at the same time.
Personality:
Aias is known to be introverted, being around people tires him easily and often needs to distance himself to recharge. He hasn't interacted with many people in his lifetime, so his social skills are quite rusty, and not fully developed. He's quite shy, awkward, and skeptical in nature, but after getting past all that Aias can be a very loyal and kind friend indeed.
Crush: (open)
Other:
- White hair / Gray eyes
- Is unable to digest proteins correctly and gets very ill if too much protein rich food is consumed.
- Overly honest person, always telling the truth even to his or her own detriment.

(Sorry! I was a bit busy! All who have posted completed forms are accepted!)

The bell rang once more, signaling that homeroom had begun and all of those were not in homeroom by then were in danger of getting in huge trouble. Each of the homeroom teachers walked into their respective rooms. They quickly went over who they were and ran down the list of students to see everyone was here. They then briefly talked about the school and what they were going to be learning. After about an hour, the bell rang once more, signaling that homeroom was over.

Each of the teachers from the different homerooms then said in unison "Remember that you can do anything you want if the school allows it and you must still be on school grounds." It was weird. Everything the homeroom teachers had said were exactly the same. It was almost as if someone was controlling them...
------------------------------------------
Draco yawned and leaned back against his chair when the bell rang. He peered through the window beside him. He saw other students doing different things. Some of the upperclassmen were messing around with their magics while some of the other new kids were just trying to get to know each other. He sighed and contemplated about whether to take a nap or not.
------------------------------------------
Maya stormed out of her homeroom as soon as the bell rang. She was intent on finding Draco. She asked everyone, and I mean everyone, she saw. The common answer eventually came to be that Draco was in the C Class Magic Swordsman homeroom. Maya walked around for a few minutes before realizing she was lost. "Me?! Lost?! Oh, how embarrassing! Someone like me shouldn't lost so easily, especially since I've been year for more than a year already! I should already know where the C Class homerooms are! Ergh!" she thought.

Lise quickly tried to get to C Class Master Swordsman before too many people crowded the hallways. Of course, she was too late. She sighed and just pushed past people, and soon she saw Troye speedwalking out the door. She went over to him and he grinned. "Okay, drop the act. What happened?" She asked. He sighed and began explaining. Then they talked about homeroom, and frowned when they talked about the teachers. Everything they said seemed to be exactly the same. Weird...

As Maya continued to look around for Draco, she saw Lise and Troye down the hall. Based on their uniforms, they were definitely C Class students and they had a new student vibe to them. She waved at them and jogged over. "Excuse me you two! I was wondering if you happened to know a boy by the name of Draco? Bright blue eyes? Grey, black hair? Tall?" she asked them.

Casey looked at Maya, on her way to Class C Magic Swordsmen. "Uh, yeah, he went to Class C Magic Swordsmen." She said, then walked to her class. She sat down at a desk next to the window and in the back, drumming her fingers on the desk.

Maya looked at Casey and smiled, her always lit up, "Thank you!" she exclaimed. Maya walked into the C Class Magic Swordsmen room and quickly spotted him in the back. Maya walked up to him and looked down "Mind if he talk in private? Draco?" she asked.

Draco gave her an odd look "First, how do you my name? Second, why?" he asked her.

Maya's patience started to weaken. "Just come with me. Will ya?" she asked, clearly annoyed.

Draco sighed and stood up. Draco and Maya walked outside to the courtyard.

Lise glanced back at Maya because Troye was playing a game on his phone. She was about to say something but closed her mouth when Casey answered for her. She turned back to Troye and poked him hard in the chest. "Troye! Now is not the time!" She hissed. Troye raised his phone up above her head, being a lot taller than her. "Just one more level! I'm about to beat it!" He said back. She sighed and just made sure he didn't bump into anyone. He was such a child.

[OOC; aahh i need to catch up before i'm left behind rip]

Aias may have zoned out just for a second during the entrance ceremony, suddenly he snapped right back into reality "-As your student council, I swear we will do everything in my power to help you accomplish it. There will be blood. There will be sweat. Some of you might fail. Some of you might succeed. Graduating here is not easy and I only expect the upmost skill and effort from all you. That is all." he heard the council president say, before moving on to explaining homerooms, classes, and such. Afterwards, she left the stage.

'That went by so quick!' Aias was surprised of how much time had passed by. The ceremony was officially over, he used this time to steal a quick glance at his pamphlet, he was grateful that it went into so much detail 'I guess I'm a C Class Wizard, eh? Well, I wasn't really expecting much.. I've only just started.. after all..' he smiled nervously, looking for the map. After skimming the pieces of paper he finally found it, and walked off towards his classroom.

Half-walking, half-running, Aias made it to his classroom in just the nick of time, the teacher had just walked into the room as soon as he had settled into his desk. He shifted around in his desk as the teachers were calling out names, then discussed what they were going to be learning.

The class lasted for about an hour when Aias heard the school bell ring. 'Class is over.. that went by awfully quick..' he thought. 'Now what? Are we going to our next class?' he noticed how some of the students were talking amongst one another, or just goofing around in general. This made Aias feel a bit uncomfortable 'Our studies are our top priority.. what are they doing?' he frowned, getting out of his seat to exit the classroom. Aias grabbed his bag 'I suppose I have a bit of time before our next class begins..' he left the room, closing the door behind him. He sat down next to the door, and fumbled around inside his bag for a book.

This is how Aias usually spent his leisure time, reading. If he ever felt down, or anxious, he always had books to rely on. Furthermore, each story has it's own unique quirks, making them each stand out among each other. Books were quite captivating, in their own way. So many stories to experience, so many characters to love, yes, this is what he needed. After a few pages, he began to calm down. Closing the books, he let out a sigh. "I can't believe I was getting so nervous over this.." he muttered under his breath, somewhat embarrassed.
