Far away from the students, on the very tip of the tallest building in the city, the Galaxy Agency stood the Headmistress of ExoNova herself, the Bastion of Hope, Nova. Her eyes were trained on the train that was transporting her new students to her island, Titanomachia. She grins. Not at all unusual for the heroine. "Almost there," she whispers to herself before she started to laugh. Her laughter was filled with pure mirth and all who were privy to it were filled to the brim with Hope. They knew that as long as that melody was heard, no harm would come to the Citizens of Novacross. Taking a deep breath, Nova bottles up her excitement and calms herself. She then proceeded to spread out her arm to the side and fall backward, towards the city streets below her. With her eyes shut, she was falling.
Her eyes snap open, and blue energy bursts out of her launching her into the sky. Nova's grin widens as she felt her energy connect to the stump where her left arm used to be, morphing and melding into an arm of pure Will Power. The woman immediately launches herself towards her school, ExoNova. As she accelerated, she comes up on the train carrying the students to her school. Willing herself to be lowered to the side of the train, she turns her body to face the inside of the train, grinning and waving at her soon to be students. She blows a kiss towards them, before turning back towards the island and accelerating past the train with a burst of blue energy.
Shortly afterward the train would stop at Titanomachia, or Titan Island for short, station. Everyone would be ushered out of the train, and those that looked like they weren't students had been led away from those who were to be students. The students were then given a set of instructions by one of the non-academic staff members that were greeting them.
"The Heroes-to-be are hereby given free rein over the Island and all of its top-of-the-line facilities. Please enjoy to your hearts' content, but pay attention to the announcements. When you are called please make your way to the schools' Great Hall, marked on the map that has just been uploaded to your Smart Phones."

Wakes up Sterling gently and picked up my bag over my shoulder getting off the train humming at the impressive city. Cringed at the impossibly bright and bubbly woman who was ... well she was glowing. "Explore huh? Why don't we get some lunch then?" Held out my hand to the still sleepy Sterling and waited for him to accept so we could go find some food
Lucius examined the device he was given once leaving the train and browsed what seemed to be the map of the school. Looking forward now, he broke away from the other students first as if he had no time to lose "Let's see how big this building is on the inside..."He said quietly to himself as his brownish copper armor shined in the sunlight. Examining the outside of the school he examined how big the school was anyways from the outside currently "I wonder what the living space looks like for us students..."He pondered as he stopped in his tracks to look around at the outside of the school campus
<Train Station>
Ito got off of the train and managed to pass a majority of the crowd. Admittedly, he was extremely nervous being in a new country and a new setting outside of Tokyo. He put his hood up over his head and immediately looked at his phone. He sent a text message to his mother, reading:
- I made it to the hero school!
He half-expected a text from his mother whom he hadn't seen since he was 4 years old, but after waiting a solid five minutes, he gave up and figured he would talk to her on the phone later when he wasn't going to be in the middle of orientation.
After he waited he quickly (and forcefully) shoved past many of the individuals who rode with him on the train and took his place at the admission desk. Like many schools, he thought there ought to be an entrance exam, so he made his way to the gym to train his powers and be accepted without any consideration.
<Gym>
He made his way to the area with punching bags and unloaded a pair of black combat gloves with knuckle dusters within them. He tossed the bag around with his fists, progressively hitting harder and harder. Suddenly he began to backtrack to some rather unpleasant memories, continuing to hit and hit. His father had made a frequent effort to turn him to the Yakuza, but since his childhood, Ito wanted to be a great hero. He didn't want to hurt people like his father but wanted to help them.
This is when unexpectedly, Ito's individuality manifested, surrounding his fists with large, sharp shrapnel-shaped bones that sliced and destroyed the bag. He was met with glared by those around him before he thought it best to just leave and wait for the exam and orientation.
"Sorry." was the only word Ito pushed out in a Japanese accent before quickly hustling out.

After quickly getting a rundown on the perimeter of the school, Lucius headed inside to make his way to the gym where he assumed others would be training. Before heading towards the direction of the gym, Lucius took a quick look around the fairly well funded school then made his way to the gym. Not expecting to much from the schools gym compared to his own at home, he held high hopes. Once he got close to the gym, he ran into another student that was exiting. Noticing the other student had unusual skin he looked him up and down, intrigued as to what his ability was that made him look that way. Backing away from him to hold an outstretched hand in greeting so as to not seem rude "Sorry for bumping into you, my name is Lucius. Whats the hurry?" He inquired in a friendly tone. Not great at first impressions nor did he care about even having friends in the first place, he wanted to get to know this student so he could use his weaknesses and strengths in case they were to spar.
<Train Station>
Sighed seeing that Sterling was asleep I carry him bridal style to the dorm room area
<Dorm Room>
Since the rooms did not have names on the doors I walk into a room that had two beds and gently set Sterling on the bed and tucked him in setting his bag on the table and leaves the room after giving him a kiss on the forehead. I hum and shove my hands into my pockets and walked into the gym area
<Gym Area>
"He has a bone ability I believe. I can smell a milky smell and also calcium." Hummed and walked over to Ito and Lucius. "That must be painful for you'" Looked at the bone Individuality holder "Hm I would like you on my team if we get teamed up" Smiled slightly and then turned to Lucius coldly "You seem to have... bad intentions"
Turned back to Ito again "Japanese boy... would you like to go get a drink?" Smiled slightly "My mate is currently asleep and it would be nice to have someone to tour around with... who knows perhaps you will find someone from your home country here"

<On Campus>
It was in Ito's best interest to avoid company on route to the entrance exam location, yet he found himself in the presence of two individuals he sat near on the train. The one who first approached him introduced himself as Lucius and eyed Ito up and down, a "gesture" Ito was used to, however, he seemed to be trying to an edge over Ito. He was very familiar with American gestures and as a result, took his hand and gave it a hearty shake. A simple "Yami Ito." was how he introduced himself. "But please, call me Ito-Kun. I was just making headway to the line for the entrance exams." It was very much obvious that he was foreign, as there was a strong accent in his voice. As he began walking, the female walked up to him.
"That is true. My individuality is medically titled Big-Boned." He put his hands on his hips, examining the lady. "Seems you know a lot about other people." Too much. He thought. "Sure, I have nothing else to do besides waiting in line." He let out a fainted sigh and began walking at a slow, sloth-like pace. "I doubt it... There are no heroes left in Japan, not after they all went into hiding."

Well I do have a good sense of smell and you smell like calcium." Nodded in a matter id fact manner and walked to the cafeteria with the bone using boy.
"They will most likely have the exams be at an unusual timing to catch us off guard but that is not immediately so why dont we get some good hm? You seem to be in slightly pain" Hummed to myself and looked over the Japanese kid

Due to him being in a full suit of armor, he didn't have to hide the interest on his face as the other person who had just arrived then left with Ito was equally interesting if not more. Watching the two other students leave "I'll have to keep my eye on that Female..."In a quiet whisper, Lucius turned and walked into the gym where others were already practicing. Noticing what seems to be like small bone fragments and a destroyed bag, he had guessed Ito must've used his ability. Examining the gym, Lucius saw nothing that he could use that would allow him to fully use his swordsmanship 'Should've set my hopes lower' He thought as he turned to walk out of the gym. Uncertain of where to go next, Lucius decided to look for a library.
Narelle, being ushered out into a small crowd of students was annoyed, to say the least, and uninterested to say the best. Hoping to simply stay within the crowd ignoring the other more hyperactive students with their difficult attitude, dragging herself along to where the majority of the crowds were going or where the larger groups were going similar to floating in the background unless she was needed... Which was barely ever, this resulted in her location heading towards the gymnasium.
(Honestly just skimmed through what I missed from the past 2 weeks.)

<Lunch Hall>
The girl who had lead him had yet to give him an introductory, so he was still on par with trust. She seemed to have a keen pair of senses that an average human would have.
Kicking his feet up onto the table, he stayed still. "I don't trust foreign food just yet. Give me a day or two to eat through my reserves." He commented bluntly. He pulled a cooler out of his suitcase and took out an entire gallon of milk, which he poured into a small glass. He swigged his drink down and put everything back. He stood back up. "You've wasted my time. I need to find something more productive to do." He stood up, his hip slightly bumping into her, and left the cafeteria in a rushing fashion.

<The Library>
Walking into the library, Lucius did not expect it to be so expansive. Looking around, he looked for a certain book on old combat techniques to which he could improvise into his own "How lucky...."He whispered to himself once he found the book on the second floor of the library, his footsteps were loud and resounding as he walked down the stairs of the mostly empty library, albeit for the librarian. One of the main reasons coming to this school was to be able to utilize their library, which he had heard so much about "Hopefully they have books on helping out my elemental ability....I'll look into that later."Sighing, he walked over to an empty table so he could give the book a quick glance over, he pulled out a chair, which he sat down on 'Uncomfortable...' He thought annoyingly; opening up the book, Lucius flipped through the pages and took note of only a few useful techniques he could actually use 'I'll have to look at this book further.' he thought as he made it to the final page. Slamming the book shut after a few minutes, he practically leapt out of his seat from how hard he pushed it back "I'll be borrowing this...."He called to the librarian, and without confirmation he could take it, left the library.

<Cafeteria>
How rude" Frowned slightly at the bone user and then shrugged looking at the food in front of me then sighing and packing it up to take to the dorm instead
I put it into a lunch box and continue exploring the area.
<Training Grounds>
Humming to myself I walk through the area to the training grounds to see if it had anything useful to offer. Perhaps someone to fight? Spar? Watch? Talk to?

<Dorms>
Having left the train station behind, Hyperion had made a beeline to the Dorm rooms, which had a surprising division. Each Dorm was constructed with a group of three in mind. Strange. Shrugging off both the rooming situation and his aunt's secrecy as to how the day-to-day would take place at Campus, Hyperion enters the room with his name plaque on it. Inside was a room that was essentially a blank slate. Literally. The walls were white, the desk and bed were simple colors. The already installed computer while the top of the line, didn't look all that impressive. But a single item stood out amongst the blandness. The Data Pad was placed on his bed.
Allowing his curiosity to take over, Hyperion picks up the datapad and reads through the given information. Afterward, he looks up with a grin and starts messing with the controls. A few moments later, he had created a room that was almost perfect for him. The walls and objects were a seamless blend of yellow and black, while a few posters of bands and his all time favourite artist Eminem were hung around the room. All this was made capable by the latest in holographic technology which would give the childrencreative freedom as to how their rooms were decorated.

Book in hand, Lucius read whilst he made his way to the next area he was most excited about, even if he didn't express it.
<Training Grounds>
Once outside, he closed the book and stood in awe at his fellow heroes in training, practicing with each other or by themselves. Spotting the female from earlier, he slowly made his way toward her and summoned forth his weapon subconsciously in his right hand, gripping it tightly once it fully formed; stopping a few feet in front of her once he was close "Care to test your abilities with mine?" Lucius questioned as he pulled off his helmet to be more polite, his bluish-silver hair waving in the wind, along with his cape "I'm curious as to how powerful you are, as i'm sure you are with me..."In a challenging yet polite tone, Lucius eyed the female with a cold stare in his golden eyes, a stark contrast to his semi-friendly tone of voice.

Yes, why do I have a feeling that you would attack even if I said no hm?" Turned around pocketing my book as I looked at the male curiously and raised an eyebrow "I'm not really in a fighting mood right now ... unless of course you somehow manage to rile me up" Turned around again and statted to walk away slowly
Lucius watched her go with narrowed eyes as he put on his helmet "Tch..." At the tip of his pointer finger, he summoned a small ball of light, throwing it at an almost untrackable speed past her cheek; the small ball of light hitting a concrete wall that was around ten feet in front of her, leaving a fairly large mark on it as it blackened the grey concrete "How about now?" He spoke slowly, impatience in his voice. He could feel a few eyes on him as they watched the small ball of light almost graze her cheek "I can tell you're strong...but i want to experience that!" In a much louder voice than before, he made his point clear that he wasn't going to back down. Waiting patiently for her answer, Lucius drove the bottom of his blunt long/great sword into the ground, resting both hands on the hilt/guard.
You know... that was rather rude" Turned around and put my book away frowning "I usually do not like fights for useless purposes but you did begin this..." Sighed softly and stared at the boy rubbing my forehead "I have to get back to my mate... so we should make this quick. Before we begin as an act of apology for attacking unannounced ... what does that armour do?"
Sighing at the question, he looked away for a second before looking back at her "It heightens my durability and speed, but if you'd like i can take it off if its a concern to you..."Not liking the idea of having to fight in just his tight fitting pants(Suppressed version of his greaves/leg armor really), Lucius would remove his armor if she wanted it off as an apology. Removing his helmet first, he laid it on top of his sword as he waited for confirmation that he would have to fight without armor.
