All five boys gathered in the quad at midnight. The notes didn't exactly say where to meet up. The awkward tension was high among their silence. Pretty soon Huening Kai broke the silence. "왜 우리한테 물어봤을까요?" (Why do you think they asked us here ?) Soobin gave a smile smile. "분명히 그들은 어떤 이유로 우리를 보고 싶어했어요." (Clearly they wanted to see us for some reason.)

Yeonjun & Beomgyu slowly began engaging themselves in the conversation. Taehyun was cautious. Who knew why they were selected anyway.

옵시디언 아이입니다 (The Obsidian Eye) sent two of its members to greet the five first years. Their secret society was entirely a secret. So much so in fact the society was unknown to any faculty or students not within their ranks. They sent their most cheery members to greet the first years.

Park Jimin 박지민
"Mochi" 모치
8th Year

Nature Enhancement (the ability to augment, grow or bring back to life plants.)

Jung Hoseok 정호석
"J-Hope" 정호석
8th Year

Audible Inundation (The ability to overwhelm someone' head with voices.)

"한 번 들어가면 되돌릴 수 없습니다." (Once you enter there is no turning back.) Jimin bowed respectfully followed by Hoseok. "시작할 준비가 되셨습니까?" (Ready for your initiation ?) Jimin & Hoseok wasted no time in hearing their responses.

They lead them into the shroud of trees near the main entrance to ASAA. Inside the shroud of trees was a well personally kept building. The building being painted black with drawn white eyes all over. The door remained a stark white against the black.

Once inside the atmosphere was instantly different. The place was dim & lit torches on the wall provided the light within the room. A small podium within the room had a cloaked figure standing behind it. The first years quickly noticing their guides were members as they were seated throughout the space.

The cloaked figure began speaking. "차례대로 제삿날로 손바닥을 베어야 합니다." (One by one you each must cut your palms with the ceremonial blade.) It was sudden, but the blade appeared on the table with a clear bowl full of water. Beomgyu cut his palm & let a few drops of blood fall into the water of the bowl. Slowly the other boys followed as instructed.

The cloaked figure looked pleased. "옵시디언 아이에서 가장 어두운 아칸소 마법을 배우게 될 겁니다. 1학년은 일반적으로 3학년이 될 때까지 방어술을 배우기 시작하지 않습니다." (You'll be taught the darkest arcane magic within The Obsidian Eye. First Years typically don't start learning defensive arts until you become Third Years.) Taehyun spoke up. He had been quiet before, but now he was curious. Did this figure wish to achieve something by speeding up their learning at the school ?

"Who are you exactly ? What is it that you wish to achieve from this ?" The cloaked figure cracked a small smirk that could be seen from under its hood. "지금은 리 사부님이라고 불러주세요." (For now just call me Master Lee.) Master Lee took the bowl which held their bloody water into his hands. "Are you ready to open yourselves up to the spiritual realm ?"

There was no doubt this magic could be dangerous. There must be a reason it is taught to 3rd Years but at a tamer level. "What do we have to do now ?" Master mumbled a spell. The water within the bowl turning into a blue snake. Master Lee' ability must have something to do with Hydrokinesis like Soobin, but on a darker scale.

The blue snake hissed lowly. "A snake ? Why do you need a snake ?" Yeonjun asked not really caring about the color. It still was not entirely a snake as it was made from water & manipulated to act as the animal it portrayed. "손목을 내밀어요." (Hold out your wrists.) They all did as told once more.

The blue snake quickly & fluidly sunk its fangs into each of their wrists. Each boy curled inwardly at the pain of the fangs. It temporarily froze their bodies in a trance while their minds drifted to the spiritual realm.
