"Hello everyone! Prof. Carr wishes that we introduce ourselves. My name is Samton Goldenbach. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I am a mage focusing on the Light, Earth and Water elements. I hope to get along with all of you."
With this, Samton gave a little bow and returned to his seat.
Tien followed suit. "Glad to meet you all! I am Tien Sebas, a knight majoring the art of swords. I hope the years to follow will be enjoyable."

The boy had introduced himself as Sampton and a fellow student followed after.
Oh is that what they wanted us to do? It sure seemed like it. It was forward but made much more sense than the trickling of words. Kynik placed both hands on the ledge in front of him, most weight supported by his left as he lifted himself out of his chair after Tien had left the podium.
Why not? The best way to make connections is to put your name out there afterall and what better way to do that then something like this. The student walked his way to the front with a confident gait, taking a few moments to check out the small cylinder. It was definitely powered by magic though he wouldn't tell what exactly that was. He too, would tap the device hoping it didn't need anything to activate it and gave a wide wave to the audience of students before him.
"Salutations! I am named Kynik Kuffer, you all may call me Kynik. I am not gifted in the way of Arcana so I come here as learner of the sword and plan to become the strongest knight that I can. I extend my hand to my new acquaintances, if you have anything to ask of me, just ask. I am not afraid to offer help to those who need it. May our time here be one filled with companionship, fulfillment and achievements worthy of the word pride."
The 18 year old gazes into the audience, studying the reactions of his peers before pulling away with a grin. He'll make his way to his seat so the next student could take his place.

Elliot stood up after her, "Uhh- Hi! I'm Elliot, Elliot Langston. Hope we can be friends someday. Ask my anything you need, I'll always be here to help" He said, smiling and running back to his seat.

She curtsied in her shimmering amber robes and spoke into the magical instrument, "Hi... my name is Cherali ... Cherali Keyland." It was more drawn out and exhausting to present her name than it was to say in her head and by herself.
Having actual people as your audience is not one of Cherali wishes; Maybe introducing herself was for the better, as Professor Carr mentioned, he wished for her peers to be known amongst the group.

A light frown adorned Samton's face. Most of the students did not garner much attention from him, but he still remembered them nonetheless.
"There are a few who caught my attention. Miss Blackwood, for example. Mr. Kuffer too, although in a different way entirely."
"Sounded rather snobbish there, didn't he?"
"Well he is the child of a Margrave's vassal, if I recall correctly. Maybe he's used to the older variation of court speak."
As they whispered to each other, they ensured to stop whenever someone was speaking. It was second nature to them.

Mages And Knights
Why do so many people join the Royal Academy? The Academy is intended to train students so that they would be able to become high ranking officials within the army. Nobility join due to their obligation to the people, as well as a chance to get a better pedigree. Royalty who do not become kings become nobility as soon as their sibling takes over. The common populace, however, join because of something else.
A chance to become nobility.
The Mages and Knights higher than the rank of "Captain" are granted a barony, making them nobles.
It is perhaps also due to this possibility, that the Academy is able to maintain it's policy of non-discrimination.
Due to this, the Royal Academy is, sometimes, considered to be a miniature of the "World of Nobility". While some choose to ignore it, factions and the like very much exist. The self-introduction is, in essence, the first event where scouting occurs.

He shakes his head slightly in remembrance of all the times he father had made him 'practice' with a live audience of the knights at home. He'd been punished if he'd spoken informally or incorrectly. His expression had changed slightly but faded back to his normal one when he went back to focusing on the girl instead of being distracted by thought.
If the hand wasn't shaken he would withdraw it. The boy paused watching another speaker present themselves at the front, head turning towards them. When the student had finished speaking he turned attention back to Juzi. "I hope you don't mind me speaking to you. I wished to greet you personally since we were already sitting nearby. "

She studied him some more, "Kynik, was it?"
Elliot sat back down, sighing. 'That wasn't really a good first impression...' He thought, watching as the others went ahead, introducing themselves.
The introductions seemed to take forever, so Elliot took out his sketchbook and began to draw the people around him.

"See, told you Mr Kuffer wouldn't be too bad."
"Look into him?"
"Look into both of them. Hold back on the others, for now."
The intention was scouting, and they both were certain they weren't the only ones doing this.
"Also, don't trade information. We don't need to, at least for now."

Even if she was jealous of the people around her, she decided to stir away from that insecurity and start speaking with others. There was one girl that took her interest, the girl that introduced herself as Luna. This Luna didn't give a last name, which was smart in Cherali's opinion, as a person would track your family down and use the lore they found to their advantage. She also seemed shy, something the two made in common. After thinking about it, the mage got up from her seat, and approached Luna:
"Hi there, I see you are all alone and decided to talk to you. My name is Cherali; Came here to study Fire magic and ... be a mage, I guess?" Cherali stated.

He watched as she studied him, maybe to put a visual memory to the name she had asked to confirm. That was his guess. Hearing the question he nodded. "Yeah, I'm Kynik. I believe you said you were Juzi?" He answered seeming to play with the mouthfeel of the word. "It's a pretty name, I like how the Zi sound buzzes off the teeth. I'll be sure to remember it in the future."

"Umm, so what do you like to do?" She asked Luna.

"Sorry, I hope we get to see each other again." She said, a neutral expression plaguing her face.
Cherali turned around to her seat and went over to take it. She sat down and decided to read her spell book a bit more.

Elliot picked a boy next to him and began to sketch him, beginning on the head and hair, sketching out every detail and paying attention to the strands of hair falling to the side of his face as he read a book.
