Following the battle, Nathan was immediately escorted out of campus, and Mason called out his Alakazam and teleported out of the battle arena to avoid getting swarmed by fans.

Lucas watched the entire situation go down in awe. He'd never witnessed anything like it before. He slowly managed to work his way towards the exit of the battle arena, where he'd take out his phone and use the GPS to map a way to the dorms.

Before he left, he noticed that the girl the Masked Master had saved was looking starstruck. He thought nothing of it.

When Lucas got to the dorms, he found out that the dorms were separated into three buildings, split up by grade level.

The first building was called Building A, nicknamed by many as Arcanine. The building housed dorms for first and second year students. It was the building that Lucas would be staying in, along with the roommate he was told that he'd have.

The second building was called Building B, the nickname for that one is Blaziken. It houses students of their third year. Lucas personally didn't know anyone who would be staying in there.

Finally, there was Building C, known as Charizard. It hosted students in their fourth and final year attending the school. It looked astonishing, way better than the other two dormitories. A fitting reward for the students that make it to their final year of schooling at Edgewood.

Since the school was new, however, there wasn't anybody currently occupying the building. Therefore, it was used as housing for all of the staff members that worked on campus in the meantime.

Lucas walked into Building A, and headed to the front counter. The secretary looked up from her computer, and greeted her.

"Hello, young man! What can I do for you?" The polite woman asked him.

"Oh, I'm supposed to be staying here. I was told to ask you for my room number." Lucas responded excitedly, giddy to see where he'd be staying for the next two years.

"Oh, alright. What's your name, then? I need it to see what room you're in."

"Oh, right. My name's Lucas Willner."

"Alright, you're in room A1057." She responded, opening her drawer and pulling out a key card. "Here's your key, make sure not to lose it!"

"Thank you very much!" Lucas exclaimed, a little bit too loudly. He noticed quite a few people stopping what they were doing to look at him. "Oops, sorry. Have a good day!"

"You too, I hope you enjoy your room." The receptionist replied, waving to him as he walked towards the elevator.

A few hours later, Mason walked into the same building that Lucas had entered a few hours prior. He scanned his surroundings, it surprisingly wasn't very busy, considering that the school year was only a few days away from starting.

He noticed the receptionist behind her desk, working on a crossword puzzle. He began to walk over to her, breathing in as he did.

"I-hello!" He awkwardly stuttered, waving at the woman behind the desk.

"Oh, hello sir. Are you here for your room?" The secretary asked, already used to handing out room keys.

"Er, yeah, yeah I am." Mason responded, hesitantly. He knew how awkward he sounded, but he tried to keep calm.
