"Woah, Mr. Xisuma, weren't you in the l- I mean, what are you doing in class so early?" Purpled asked, walking into the room.

"Oh, let me show you something that I think is pretty cool," Mr. Xisuma grabbed a strange-looking wooden figure from the back of the classroom. "This, this is an armour stand, and it may seem pretty normal at first but if you..."

Purpled watched in amazement as suddenly the armour stand turned into another Mr. Xisuma. The clone waved and smiled before taking a book off the desk. He started to head out the door towards another classroom.

"That was awesome!"

"The other teachers know how to do the command but you'll mostly see me using it," Mr. Xisuma explained. "Only for the BW classes, though."

"Oh, why?" Purpled asked, his curiosity peaking.

"Because I'm the one who invented the whole course, why else?"

"REALLY? That's so cool!"

"No one else knows how to teach it, so I do it," Mr. Xisuma opened a book. "Trust me, no other school can do it as well as I can."

"Wait, so are you an armour stand clone? Or are you real?"

"I dunno, Purpled, what do you think?"

"Well, erm, uh, um."

"Why don't you sit in the front? There's an empty seat right in the corner over there," Mr. Xisuma pointed to a seat beside the window. "Your friend usually chooses a spot near the front anyway, you two can sit next to each other."

"Oh, sick!" Purpled walked over, placing down a backpack that Walli created on the spot for him. "Wait- how'd you know I made friends?"

"Watchdog sees everything."

"That sounds scary," Purpled said.

"They're just making sure no one gets hurt, don't worry about it. We take a lot of pride in making sure our students are safe from any sort of harm."

Purpled thought that Mr. Xisuma probably just wanted Purpled to take his word for it but he knew that Mr. Xisuma wasn't lying. For all the teacher knew, Purpled and David weren't the ones in the library during lunch.

"Oh, hey!" Sammy said, waving at Purpled while he walked into the room. "I don't think we've properly introduced myself."

"Hey! I'm Purpled, everyone calls me Purp, though, I think. Hannah and Walli do."

"Well, Purp, I'm Sammy," He smiled, taking the seat beside him. "Are you excited?"

"I am, but I don't know what we're exactly learning here."

"You haven't even asked anyone? Or tried to figure out?"

"Oh," Purpled thought for a second. He mindlessly choose BW and SW as subjects without any prior knowledge.

"Don't worry, I think you'll like BW, you can take it pretty slow and you don't need to do that much physical exercise."

"What is this? A sports school? I've heard people mention exercise so much by now."

"Nah, nah, you're funny man."

"That's not very helpful, Sammy."

"You missed this morning's classes, didn't you?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm confused as hell right now," Purpled leaned against his arm as more people poured into the classroom. Mr. Xisuma was busy writing stuff on the blackboard.

"BW and SW both specialize in training yourself to run longer, faster and up your energy."

"For what? What do I need this training for?"
