Sammy sat there patiently, waiting for her name to be called out.
Kaleb looked down at the back of his hand, which was blank. Oh man! I'm gonna be the oldest kid up there!
So much for blending in...
He shrunk down in his seat slightly.
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.I wonder what colour the paint will be? I hope it's something bold, and exciting!
"Hm...I wonder how my paint will look like...why don´t I find out?", Marcus mumbled while trying to read his own brain, but something stopped him. He couldn´t bring up the courage to face his own errors and problems, he got a slight headache and quickly withdrew from his brain. "Well, aparently I´ll have to wait..."
Taurin was only really paying enough attention that he'd notice when it was his turn, but he had been told of the procedure. He had heavy suspicions of what he would end up with, considering that he had already been using it for a small time, and all of the magical aptitude his siblings had shown was in the same field, a stunning coincidence. He looked down at the arcane beast standing by his feet, still standing patiently, then looked back up to the event taking place, and the minimal amount of attention he was giving it.
Gretchen, who had entered boringly with no issue earlier with her suitcase, jumps at her name being called with a squeak, then looking around, suddenly embarrassed. She nervously walks up to the podium. "Y-yes?" she softly says.

"Yeah. I guess people are learning more about the academy. And less are trying to ignore their kid's magic." Thinking back to the crowds he saw arrive earlier, Zavi pondered, "I think there's also a larger group from former-Europe this year. Wonder how they'll get along."
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrThe teacher drew the rune on Gretchen, then watched as it changed colour to black. "Necromancy!" they shouted. She stroked his chin for a few moments before continuing with the ceremony.

"It has to be better here than in the middle of a war. Certainly safer." Nate only knew what he'd been taught about the war in former-Europe, and the closest connection he had to the countries was a little Italian blood from his mother's side of the family. His eyes looked over to the auditorium and his voice became laced with worry. "Hope they're all okay..."

Kaleb flinched at the sound of his name being called. After gulping, he placed his duffel bag in his seat and nervously made his way to the stage.
Well, here goes nothing...
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.Alexander whispered to Brendan:
"Uhm... isn't Necromancy bad? I mean, my... father... always told me that we shouldn't mess with the dead. And isn't that what Necromancy is all about?"
Gretchen bites her lip, looking around nervously, before heading toward the stairs off the stage, and her seat. However, she wasn't really looking where she was going, or, more specifically, she wasn't looking down, and she trips and falls on the stairs off of the stage where the teacher has been calling kids up to.
"Oh no!"
Alexander immediately gets up and runs towards Gretchen. He crouches, and helps her get back up on her feet.
"Are you alright, lady?"
Gretchen blushes, embarrassed, as Alexander helps her up, and quietly says, "I'm ok... S-sorry for being a bother..." That being said, she hurries back to her seat, clearly embarrassed and upset.

"Cryomancy!" the teacher called out after they had drawn the rune on Kaleb.
Kaleb widened his eyes at the rune that had been drawn on his hand. He wasn't quite sure what to do at this point. He extened his hand to shake, but then brough it back to his side. Then he bowed and stepped off the stage and went back to his seat.
That wasn't so tough...
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.Alexander returned to his seat, and resumed doing what he was doing before: staring at the rune in his hand with amazement.
After listing off a few other names, the teacher called for Marcus to come forward.
Sammy began to panic. Oh no... I haven't been called forward yet...
"Ah...finally." Marcus thought as he stood up and walked to the teacher. He stayed quiet the whole procedure as he tried to figure out how that rune worked.
The teacher looked at him with a curious expression, but then turned down to write the rune. "Mentalism!"
"Yeah...I know...uh...forget what I said...", Marcus answered as he retreated from the teachers brain and went back to his seat.
"Hmm... Reitt Blenforte!" the teacher continued after a few minutes. The number of students inside the auditorium had decreased visibly by that point.
"Gee, thanks..."
Alexander scratched the back of his head.
"Do you have one?"
