Bright Dusk Academy - School for Elementals

Chapter 2

Reunion

Julian's POV

"Hello Yanyan nice to see you again." a boy with coffee brown hair and deep blue eyes spoke to me as if we've met before, I just stared at him not knowing wether to ask or reply with a fake "hey how's it been" greeting, I hadn't noticed I was staring at him a little too long and so he interrupted my thoughts.

"ok so uhm I'm guessing you don't recall much of when you were here nor do you recognize me, so I'll introduce myself, Dean Radford call me 'D' but Dean is fine too and welcome to Bright Dusk Academy!" he explained he had a somewhat warm and brotherly aura to him.

"oh uh...J-julian, Kris Julian Mercer just call me Jul." Darn Why'd I stutter, probably anxiety hitting again.

"so as the headmistress must've already told you my family will be your household so most of your stuff is already at my or should I say our house,well anyway let me show you around before the ceremony starts." he stated enthusiastically and started walking, I followed him afraid of getting trampled by the flood of students. But he said ceremony so shouldn't the students be inside a hall or something?

"Dean might I ask what this ceremony is all about?" I asked curious as to why there was a ceremony since I seem to already be late for classes.

"Oh well you see there are two ceremonies held for two kinds of students, there are the sages ceremony where we who are from this world are greeted and welcomed or welcomed back into the academy, it's an inspiring ceremony but it gets boring specially since I've been hearing the speech for 15 years." he chuckled

"wait 15 years seriously?! and also what's the other ceremony?" I asked him surprised that he was in this school for that long

"oh how do I put this...well this school doesn't just offer high school you know, it has other grades too they're just in a different shift, morning classes for the primary school amd kindergarten, afternoon for the middle school and junior and senior high school, and about the other ceremony well it's fo-." he was cut off by a crow passing overhead and skwaking as if it was an alarm it turned right and was off to another hallway.

"your question will be answered at the actual ceremony, let's go and meet up with the others they're probably there already." he said while dragging me to a large hall there were seats lined up against a very long table, the table seemed to extend to seat the other students rushing in.

Above the tables there were orbs that were yellowish in hue, they seem to be responsible for lighting the place, at the very front of the tables stood a podium, it had the school crest on it and at the bottom there seemed to be roots, behind the podium was a group of adults and elders, I guess they must be the professors and in the middle was the lady who escorted me here Principal Prisma I think was it.

"Hey Jul don't stay standing for too long you might get crushed by the coming flood." he laughed dragged me to a group of teenagers about my age, we sat down and he introduced me to them

"guys this is Jul you may know him as 'yanyan'." he stated smiling at them, the other teenagers gasped in surprise

"Nice to see you again, I'm guessing you don't remember us so we'll reintroduce ourselves, I'm Safira, Safira Emis call me Saf for short." a girl with reddish brown hair and amber eyes greeted she held out her hand and i shook it nodding as a sign of 'same here'.

"Lyra, Lyra Alistair..." another girl stated in monotone she had silver hair and dark blue eyes.

"Heya my names Tero, Tero Calus." a male with blonde hair and green eyes said in an enthusiastic tone he seemed like a happy fellow, we chatted a bit they were asking about how I was doing in the other world I learned they called it the 'null' world which they explained was called that way because that world was without magic and the only magic the other world has was borrowed from spirits,demons, and other divine or evil figures, as we were chatting sound of heels
tapping on wood could be heard from the front of the hall.
