CHAPTER ONE: THE NEW TEACH

This tale begins with the class formed by Ayzan Nightbane of Dream City, the Class Of Deviants. A class consisting of Ayzan Nightbane of Dream City, Buern Vane the Jo-lan Warrior and Inheritor of the Phoenix's Spirit, Rai of the mysterious Undying Race, Nadia Of Kolmnid, Aurora Saggeese, true heiress to the Saggeesian Throne by the will of her father and finally Ryu of Kolmnid whom for the most part this tale revolves around.

These six students sat in class that moment (for everything I am about to narrate in this tale occurred within the space of an instant with relation to time on earth). They were all blissfully unaware of the fateful events that were about to occur except for one amongst them who acted as an unknown observer.

The arrival of the new teacher was you could say what triggered the chain of events that occur in this tale and an inadvertent act of defiance was the catalyst that sparked off their quest.

Then the doors to class opened and in walked the new 'teach'. Everyone immediately paused what they were doing and turned to face him.

"Who is that guy?" Buern Vane asked.

Aurora Saggeese shook her head cluelessly.

"I am your father…uh…um…I mean teacher" the person standing in the doorway said.

He was relatively dark skinned and had long flowing silver hair part of which extended past the sides of his head in the shape of wings. He was golden eyed.

"Did he just try to use a 'War Of The Stars' cliché on us?" Ryu of Kolmnid asked.

"Who does that guy think he is? Some sort of bigwig?" Ayzan Nightbane asked.

"I have heard that you students of Class Deviant have unleashed a certain protocol known as the 'Dragon Battle Protocol' which allows you to duel in underground locations on campus. Seeing faults in law however does no one any good unless you wish to fix the faults you discover" the man said.

"We have no idea of what you're talking about" the students feigned ignorance.

"Fighting on campus is expressly forbidden however I am told you people have found a way to do this dare I say legally in fact" the man said.

"Like we said, we have no idea of what you're talking about" the students maintained their stance.

"That would actually make this protocol of yours a loophole" the man said.

"And who were you again?" Ayzan Nightbane asked.

"I am Raygaard the Endriginian, also known as the Silver Star and I am…your teacher" the man called Raygaard said.

"Well I refuse to acknowledge anyone weaker than I am as my 'teacher'" Ayzan Nightbane retorted.

"Well then, for your first lesson…" Raygaard said as he glared at Zan. "…I will teach you a little concept called 'Respect'. It must be alien to you. I will leave you now to choose whether you will take me on one by one or as a party" Raygaard challenged.

After saying these words, Raygaard walked out of class. The students debated for a while on whether to take him on one by one or as a party but decided against underestimating him.

After a few moments (in relation to time on the Academy which is infinite and definitely not sequential) Raygaard returned to them.

"We have decided to take you on as a party" Ryu of Kolmnid spoke on behalf of the students.

"The fabled inventor of the 'Dragon Battle Protocol'; I will admit it is quite an impressive invention" Raygaard said.

"You certainly have a sense of style but sweet-talking me is going to get you nowhere" Ryu of Kolmnid said.

"When you're ready, meet me in the Tents Of Endregen, a field location on campus" Raygaard said as he granted the students access to the Tents Of Endregen.

They checked their crystal keys. The location was recorded there. Then Raygaard left them.
