The outside noise of birds, conversations among students, and a gentle breeze tapping the window greets an awaking Ryan Scott, a first year student who has just enrolled in Gateway. He yawns as he unwraps himself from his white sheets. He eventually manages to sit up right and rubs his eyes as he tries to wipe away his desires to sleep more. He stretches his arms as he places his feet on the ground and moves to the bathroom, where he takes a quick shower and brushes his teeth. When he emerges out of the bathroom, he is wearing nothing but a towel to cover his legs. He moves towards his closet and searches for an outfit to wear today. He was nervous about looking presentable for his first day, and being taught about the importance of first impressions, he aims to be the best version of himself possible for today. "You can do this Ryan." he says out loud to himself in front of a mirror. "You going to meet some new people and you are going to have a great first day." Since it was the fall season, he is wearing a green jacket over his simple white shirt along with wearing some gray track pants and some plain black sneakers.

Strolling casually through the Zhenfeng commons house, a tall third year girl was seen making her way through to the boy's dorm. She wore a sleeveless red t-shirt, black shorts, and black leggings that went down to her feet. But more noticeably, she had long, orange fox-like ears that stuck out with her flowing orange hair that went down to her back. This girl was Lindsey Stark, daughter to the Zhenfeng house leader and a prominent kitsune known for the various jokes she plays on people. Since she had no class this time of the day, her mother asked her to show a new student around the school, an offer Lindsey reluctantly agreed to.
After being invited into the boy's dorm, Lindsey uses her wind powers to backflip up the staircase, until she reached the floor Ryan's room was on. Grinning, she knocks on his door and calls out "Hey! You're the person who wanted the tour, right?" Glancing around the hallway, Lindsey grins one more as she releases a spell to summon one of her tails, and makes it latch onto a nearby light fixture. She made sure to lift her own body up using a flight spell, but she needed to grab on to go upside down, so once Ryan stepped outside, he'd see her hanging upside down from the ceiling, held on by her tail.

As Ryan adjusts his blond hair in front of his closet's mirror, he hears his tour guide knocking and shouting for his attention at his door. The sudden noise causes him to get jumpy. "I..I be ri...right there." He walks to the door and has trouble twisting the doorknob. He didn't want to greet his guide with sweaty hands, but everytime he tries to wipe the sweat off, his hands quickly replace the removed sweat with even more sweat. Come on...why do you have to sweat so much you stupid hands. He tries to breath slowly and gain control over his body, but just thinking about his hands only cause him to sweat even more.
Eventually he realizes that he has been spending almost a minute standing at his door just trying to fix his problem. Not wanting to be rude to his guide anymore, he simply settles with the game plan of avoiding hand contact with the person. He tries once more to take a deep breath as he grabs the door handle, while still annoyed with his hands for their record breaking sweat production, he opens the door and almost immediately stumbles backwards in surprise. "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" He lands right on his ass as he looks up to see an upside down fox girl. He was completely caught off guard by the girl appearance. He looks up and was prepare to say something along the lines of how she shouldn't greet people upside down, but when he looks back at her, he couldn't help but to blush at how adorable his tour guide is. Embarrassed by landing on his ass and blushing, Ryan reacts by pulling his hoody over his head.

Lindsey couldn't help but chuckle at Ryan's surprised reaction, which was exactly the reaction she was hoping for. However, extra embarrassment was only a plus to this little prank. Letting go of the light fixture, Lindsey lands on her feet and walks over to Ryan, moving her tail in front of his face. "Heh...sorry for surprising you. It's kinda my thing. Here, grab on and I'll help ya up." She flicked her tail up and down slightly, trying to get him to grab on so she could pull him back on his feet. Perhaps this kid would be fun to mess with after all.

As he adjusts his hoodie away from his eyes, he looks at Lindsey and quickly glances over her outfit, which causes him to once again blush. His eyes moves towards the corners of the room as he wishes for the courage to be able to talk to this girl properly. Jeez, why did I get such a cute tour guide. He shakes his head as he tries to gather his thoughts. Listen Ryan, she is just a tour guide, just relax and greet her. She then offers him to grab her tail to assist him up to his feet. "Oh...thANk you..." said Ryan with a slight crack in his voice. God! I hate when that happens. As she helps him to his feet a quick thought enters his mind. Wait, is her tail like grabbing her hand? Before long, his face turns bright red and he quickly releases her tail and turns his head around in a motion that would normally indicate he was searching for something, but he is just trying to hide his face.

Giggling slightly at Ryan's voice crack, Lindsey leans her head in to the direction he's looking, looking confused. "No sweat. What'cha looking for?" This was almost too easy for her skills, he was already falling for entry level teasing. Looks like she'd need to save more elaborate pranks for later, on people who aren't as easily embarrassed.

I'm should be looking for some courage that allows me to talk to cute girls. "Don't worry about it...I ummm....I'm sure I'll find it later." he said. Hopefully before I graduate from this school. He turns around once his face has recovered a bit and attempts to start a conversation, "So...anyway...ummm....Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you my name..." He clears his throat as he silently prays that his voice doesn't crack again. "I'm Ryan Scott...and I look forward to the tour..." What was her name again... no wait, I don't think she told me her name. Okay, then I should just ask her. Hang on, what if she did tell me her name, but I was being too busy being embarrass to hear her.

Smiling at his response, Lindsey nods when she hears his name. "Nice to meet'cha Ryan. I'm Stark." Taking out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket, the kitsune girl places them on her face. "Tony Stark. Billionare, playgirl, philanthropist...sometimes Iron Man. You may have heard of me." Her face was brimming with confidence as she told her speech, looking at Ryan with all seriousness afterwards. But a few seconds later, she grins slightly, and bursts out laughing.
"Bahahaha! Nah, I'm just messing with ya. Mostly. My real name's Lindsey Stark, alright?" She continued to laugh for a few more seconds, soon stopping to check her watch. "Alright, you ready to start this thing? This place is massive, so I hope you're ready for some walk'in." It was kinda annoying how she had to walk through the school, instead of parkouring around like she normally does. Who knows, maybe this guy's good at parkour.

Ryan had no idea if he should laugh at the tony stark joke, and instead stood there as stiff as a rock. After revealing her real name he replies politely, "Nice to meet you Lindsey." He takes a moment to response to her question as he himself is unsure whatever he was truly ready for this school. If someone told him in the past that he was would one day go to a school where his tour guide was part fox, he would have laughed at the idea. Now however, if someone told him that magical girls actually exists, he would probably believe it. Still, even with all this new strangeness and mystery in his life, it also comes with a sense of adventure and excitement. And it is that enthusiasm to discover this new world that prompts him to answers Lindsey with a genuine smile, "Yeah. I'm rEAdy." Then just as like that, he quickly goes back to hiding his face after his voice cracked again. Is it just me, or every time I'm able to build up some energy and courage to talk to a cute girl, something out of my control always has to mess me up.....

And just like that, her entire joke bombed. Completely. Lindsey made a mental note to see what kind of humor this guy liked, because that was funny to almost everyone! She smiled slightly as Ryan finally said he was ready to go, but his voice crack led him to hide his face again in embarrassment. Crossing her arms slightly, Lindsey looks at Ryan with a small degree of concern. "You know...I can see you have a small problem with me being here. If it will make you feel better, I can get a different guide in here to show you around that will be easier to talk to." She did feel bad for his inability to talk to her normally, and didn't know how much anxiety he was feeling right now. Lindsey didn't want to give the guy a heart attack by the end of this tour.

Ryan already notices that his nervousness is ruining his tour expereince so far. Heck, they haven't even left his room yet! Yet, for her to suggest a different tour guide, gives him mix feelings. On one hand, she is being kind enough to want to help him out, but on the other hand the fact that he can't overcome his problem, causes him to feel even more uneasy about himself. And even with her offer is a bit tempting of getting somebody, who can make him feel more comfortable, he decides that he needs to move forward and get over his shyness before it ruins his chances of making friends and enjoying this school to the fullest. "No, its fine." he says in a suprsing complete and straighforward manner. "I am just a bit off today. Sorry about that." He starts to walk towards the door and suggests, "Why don't we stARt the tour?" Though his voice cracks once more, he decides to move forward at the same speed as before the voice crack, and simply pretends that it didn't happen at all. Even though his face is slightly red, he tries to overcome the embarrassement.

Letting out a small chuckle at his determination, Lindsey casually places her hands behind her head, walking up to the door as well. Flicking the partially door open with her tail, Lindsey strolls outside and looks back at Ryan with a smirk. "Alright, if ya think you can handle it. Right this way, we got lots to see!" The two of them head down the wind house boy's dorm's staircase, the kitsune making sure that Ryan closed his door before they left the area. Once they were at the bottom, the duo steps through the large wooden door and into the house's commons room.
The room's walls were adorned with the house's colors; green banners with silver trim. A large ornate silver fireplace was positioned along the western wall, with various couches, tables, and comfortable chairs dotting the expansive room. The room was busy with students chatting to each other, studying for upcoming tests, or hanging out in the comfortable furniture in general. The most striking feature of the room, though, was the ceiling. Looking up, they could see a clear blue sky, with wispy white clouds slowly moving along like a sailboat in the ocean. There was even a slight breeze coming from above, a strange aroma of fresh mountain air enters their nostrils as they notice the unique scent of the room. Pointing up to the ceiling, Lindsey pokes Ryan to get his attention. "First thing's first, this is the Zhenfeng commons room. That's our's, if you forget which house you're in." Motioning to the ceiling once more, Lindsey looks up at the beautiful blue sky. "If you didn't notice, that's not a giant window. It's actually a neat illusion spell that makes it seem like we are studying under the sun. Cool, huh?"
"This is where everyone kinda hangs out, and where we hold house meetings. How do ya like it?" She didn't want to overwhelm him, so it was only right to let him ask questions before moving on.

Ryan's bandwidth couldn't afford to register Lindsey's last question. The scernio around him was utterly overwhelming for the young lad. He perfroms a slow 360 as he studies the spectacular room around him. For those bothering to check out their most recent dorm member, his movements seem to be fuctioning at typical pace, yet from his standpoint, the world seem to be operating a hundred times slower during his spin. He attempts to give proper attention to every minuscule detail of this room that is worth notice; however, the room contain a vast surplus of greatness, which prevent the youth from obtaining any significant amount of input from a singular spiral motion. When he finishes his first rotation, rather then donate more time towards the imminent objects nearby, he instead glances upwards, resulting in his eyes to quikcly squint upon examing the bright sky above. "Wow..." he says in a low breath of pure awestruck. His smile spread gently wide as he experiences the sensatation of a warm solar embrace. In this moment, not a single thought crosses his mind, as his whole being is dedicated to being in this unforgettable moment.

Lindsey smirked to herself as she saw Ryan's reaction to the commons room. Did he not look up when he was shown his dorm or something? Walking over, she tapped him on the shoulder and leaned against one of the tables. "What, did you not see this cool stuff when you were brought to your dorm? Huh. Either way, we have lots of other cool stuff to go to next. So once you're done checking this place out, we can go downstairs and check out one of the most popular spots in the school; the arena. Who knows, you might even see some cool fights going on." Lindsey had no idea who may be fighting right now, but there was always a good chance of seeing a cool fight if one were to check in every once in a while.

Ryan tries to think back to yesterday. All he remember is walking to the front gate, then suddenly a big blank, then going to his room. What exactly happen in between? Before he could continue to question the events of yesterday, he hears Lindsey mention the arena. His nervousness from before seems to disappear when he tells his guide, "I can't wait to see the arena!" He loves sparing with people and watching other people fight in good sport.

"Great! Leeeeeeeeeeeeeet's go!" Lindsey says cheerfully, briskly walking toward the door with Ryan next to her. The arena was always an amusing place to be when there wasn't much going on, as there were always fights happening in it and sometimes the heavy hitters would go at it. She remembered a few times where Evan Poole would challenge people who were on winning streaks, only to smash their hopes back down. He was well known for being an ass to people, and his gang hardly helps matters either.
The two of them make their way through the grand halls of the school, passing by numerous classrooms and along the way. Once the two of them showed up to the archway of the arena, Linsey pushes open the large wooden doors to reveal the massive stadium that housed many rectangular platforms for people to duel each other on. Each platform was covered in an incredibly resilient magical barrier that prevented anyone watching from being struck by wayward spells during the duels. Stadium chairs lined the outer walls of the building, with a few chairs positioned around each arena as well for a closer view. Closest to the door, the two of them could see an intense fight currently underway between a tall red-headed girl holding a flaming whip, and a blond girl wearing leather shorts and top swinging a mace at her opponent. It appeared as if the red-head was winning, being much less damaged than the blond girl.
Turning to Ryan, Lindsey points to the fight happening in front of them. "See those two? That's Erin and Alexis. Alexis is the head of the dueling club, and Erin's...well, Erin. Want to watch the fight while we're here?"

"Sure." says Ryan with an excited smile on his face. When it comes to fighting, he never seems to display his shyness. He looks carefully at Erin and Alexis with the pleasure of being a spectator, yet there is also a certain sense of concentration beaming from his eyes as he carefully studies their moves. He tries his best to analyze every single motion the two fighters make between each other with the same level of intensity that one would expect a person to have when they focus on an extremely important task. It was almost as if he is squaring off against them himself, that is how much attention he offers to give these two, but no matter how much effort he puts into examining their talents, it didn't prevent him from enjoying the match one bit.

Right as they began watching the fight, Lindsey noticed that the match was about to end in a normal Alexis way. After dodging another smash by Erin's mace that glanced off the ground, Alexis lashed out her whip forward and coiled it around the Earth mage's body. Yanking the whip backward, Erin was sent crashing to the ground, and vehemently struggled to free herself from the fire whip's grasp. "What was that you were saying earlier about how much better your chest was than mine?" Alexis taunts as she tightens the whip around Erin's chest. Then, with a sickening snap, Erin's chest caved in and likely started a flood of internal bleeding in her body.
Seeing as Erin was slowly losing the ability to breathe, Audrey Swanson rings the bell in her hands to signify the match is over. "That's enough, Alexis wins by incapacitate!" She calls out, lowering the barrier around the arena and letting the healing field enter the stage once again. Nodding her head, Lindsey looks at Ryan. "Well, I'm not surprised. Alexis is one of the strongest ones we have here. Entertained?" She asks, noticing that Ryan was paying special attention to this match.

"So cool...." Ryan never imagine that the academy would be as impressive as it was, and the more he learns, the more he looks forward to being a student here. He turns to Lindsey and asks without the same shyness as he would usually have thanks to the rush of energy he receive from witnessing the previous match, "You said one of the strongest... are you telling me there are people here just as strong as her, and EVEN STRONGER?!" He still couldn't believe how many awesome people there are in this world after his eyes were open to the supernatural a few months back. He looks back and says, "But is her opponent going to be okay?" He looks at Erin with a worried look on his face.

"Of course she's going to be okay, for the next few minutes anyway. Blood loss should be kicking in about...two minutes from now." Lindsey looked at Ryan with a look of dead seriousness...but then a wide smile spread across her face. "Bahaha! Don't worry, she's going to be fine. This entire room is in a magical field that rapidly repairs any wound, even preventing people from dying while you're in here. With this, we can go all out against opponents without worrying about actually hurting them." Thinking for a moment about Ryan's earlier question, Lindsey swishes one of her tails side to side she she thought about it. "As for strong people, there aren't many students who are above her level of power, though there are a few. Evan Poole and her have some pretty intense fights, and our captain of the guard is pretty powerful as well...but he doesn't fight in the arena."
Seeing that the fight was over, Lindsey pokes Ryan to get his attention again. "So, want to continue looking around the school, or do you want to ask Alexis about the dueling club? You seem to be interested in this stuff."
