welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

[attr="class","trying"] [attr="class","we1"] [attr="class","lost1"]...Do the stars align for me? [attr="class","rise"] [attr="class","dying1"] [attr="class","mouths1"]All in all, the library in itself had been known to retain its reputation as somewhat of a sanctuary for many individuals; students especially, and students specifically, in the case of the campus library, altogether. Day by day, countless amounts of incoming students of varying ages and grades alike are often want to visitation for their own reasons; be it for sake of studying, working on assignments as a group, or - in some cases - perhaps even merely in attempt to attain some degree of silence and solace for oneself.
In the case of one student in particular, his reasons for being within the area had more or less taken part of each, aforementioned justification.
While numerous other students seemed to occupy the bounds of the library that day, one table in particular had been claimed by a single soul for the most part. With numerous papers according to subjects and assignments loosely assorted within vaguely disordered stacks across nearly half of the surface of the structure that he remained seated at, Yi Tao opted to take a break from his studies and responsibilities for sake of unwinding, though due to the fact that he would have preferred not to leave the campus for the moment, he merely settled for another past time of his. Thus, amidst the numerous papers and their notes spread across subjects all across psychology, history, and music theory - as well as a couple of loose papers and sketchbooks in favor of both hobbyist art and assignment oriented all the same - he had cleared a space out for sake of laying a wireless mouse, and allowing some means of comfort while using it as his laptop remained open. For the moment, he had chosen to refrain from allowing his feline ears to manifest in favor of wearing his headphones, which - much to fit his theme, yet contrasting somewhat from his common demeanor - glowed vaguely within a green hue, all while hosting a pair of cat ears with built in speakers and the like atop then. Of course, however, as he placed his focus upon the passing graphics of the screen altogether, he took care to listen to the audio accompanying it privately; ensuring that none of it played through the speakers.
Save for the occasional click of the aforementioned mouse, as well as the constant tapping of his fingers against the keys, the general air around him remained silent while he attempted to salvage the mess that he had found himself within.
What mess, you might be asking? ...The mess that was a bad dungeon run in an MMO, actually.
I should have waited until later to do my daily roulettes for the day… he thought idly to himself; glaring over towards the four health bars of the party within the upper left corner of his screen. Jaded voids of his narrowed faintly as he eyed the member beneath his own name; from the shield icon against a blue background to the left, to the--
...Lack of cooldowns, for God’s sake…
Of course, any normal party in an MMO was often composed of four members; two damage dealers, one healer, and one ‘tank’. Healer had always been his go-to role in general, but every so often, he found himself at a loss whenever the tank neglected from doing their role properly; be it from something as simple as keeping the attention of enemies, to not using their own defensive skills in order to preserve their life ever more.
Given that several moments more had passed - and a much more aggressive spree of key clicking had abruptly ceased - he would find himself eyeing the screen for a while more prior to inhaling deeply and holding the left clicker of his mouse down; prompting his on screen avatar to resurrect at the start after he found himself - and soon, the rest of the party - wiped on a simple group of enemies on account of inability to hold aggravation.
A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back, rubbing his face a little bit.

By her side, a young girl of pale skin walked into the library. This was her first time entering one in her whole life. As being in a circus, she didn't have the opportunity to even have a book in her hands, and as such she barely knew how to understand texts of any type or length. It would be embarrassing for someone her age. But it wasn't her fault. It wasn't her fault that her parents sold her to a freak show. And now, she had to carry with that big hole in her life. An empty hole where it should be important skills like reading, writing and most of all proper socializing. But she didn't know how to fill it. So she came wanting to learn but doing so for herself would be hard...
As she walked further, she would enter a hall in order to look for a book she could use. But she didn't know about their topics, so she had o pick two at the same time. But once she got them, she needed a place to read them. But sees many are filled, only one had some space. But there was a big problem. There was someone there. Blue eyes would stare at the boy sitting there. And her shy nature made her think it twice to decide if to sit there or find another place. But it was useless with the rest being filled.
So having no more options walks forwards pulling the free chair with one hand as the other was busy with the books. She tried her best to do it in silence not wanting to disturb. And once the chair was pulled, sit down and avoids eye contact with the stranger. Opens the first book to try to read it but it was very hard to understand.
Note: She is in human form.

[attr="class","foreign"] [attr="class","dust"] [attr="class","gold"]@tagged [attr="class","gold"]words [attr="class","gold"]notes ulla [attr="class","sun"]A Foreign Sun * I never thought I'd see It never changes does it? Day in and day out through out each cycle of passing time Kurenai stayed within the safety net books provided for her. The library was in a way a second home to the young albino book worm who preferred the company of knowledge rather than the company of actual people. Socialization never has been her strong point as a child or as the wall flower she is now as a young lady well in the middle of her teenage years. The rough edges of each cover, be it made out of thick carboard or the sleek leather binding thick ancient grimoires Kurenai doubted she’ll ever get tired feeling the presence of a book in her hands.
What else was she supposed to feel? When her entire childhood revolved around being glued to her studies, never truly experiencing the joys of a normal childhood filled with innocent games and passing innocence. No instead she was made to face the realities of adulthood in which she was destined to take on just as her family wished.
But she wasn’t fully deprived, she still got to experience fleeting glimpses of it on occasion thanks in no small part to a group of people being part of her young life.
Entering the library was to her walking straight into her home. The unmistakable scent of old parchment, the scent of dried ink permanently printed upon each and every piece of paper held within each shelf. Home for the young girl without a lick of social life aside from her studies.
Speaking of which… that’s exactly why she was here in the first place. Her old preparation rule that stuck with her since her days as a student back in Chishiki. She doubted transferring over to Eldritch did anything to wane years of habit.
Just like right now, not even past five minutes since she got here and already she was lugging around three thick sets of heavy books. Heavy enough that each book held past 300 hundred pages. Books about Alchemy and the last two being that of Aether she needed to revise on for the class she sighed up for. Really… child, wasn’t this going a bit too much?
In Kurenai’s eyes this was merely the beginning. Purple orbs scanned through for an empty table. But today was one of those rare instances where the library was in all actually FULL. Nearly every seat was occupied except…for one, near the back where a certain raven haired boy set shop in. Headphones blocked his ears just as numerous amount of books and papers covered the table along with the laptop he needs occupied with. Another girl sat with it, though from the looks of it the girl seem to merely observe the older man instead of actually interacting. Great… the girl was not looking forward to this, particularly because of two main reasons. One is that there was no other place to set up her own shop to study and second is that itch she’s been getting ever since she saw the boy. Something within her distracted brain kept on hinting some form of familiarity every time she glanced at him. But with his back to her, she couldn’t exactly get a reading on WHY the man felt familiar but oh well.
Be brave child. She took that deep breath as she approached, the child’s lips trembled until she swallowed enough of her pride to don on her ‘public’ mask. “Etto… Would it be okay for me to share a table?” The girl’s demurred voice softly rose to speak. Not loud enough to disturb the other students but loud enough for him to hear.

[attr="class","trying"] [attr="class","we1"] [attr="class","lost1"]...Do the stars align for me? [attr="class","rise"] [attr="class","dying1"] [attr="class","mouths1"]For several moments, he merely waited at the beginning of the dungeon for the remainder of the party members to resurrect alongside him; deeming that it would be wiser and less complex to wait for the four of them to become close within distance once more in order to cast a particular spell to bolster their defenses. Within an idle manner, he watched the avatars and the bars within the upper left as they gradually resurrected and lightened up, respectively; eyes of an emerald hue lingering upon the name of the tank as it eventually held its place as the remaining member that had not quite rejoined the rest of them just yet. Against his better judgment, he narrowed his eyes pensively before eventually coming to the decision of simply waiting for him to respawn accordingly- though that degree of patience had proven to be drastically short lived as their name blanked out in its entirety; bar values disappearing, and the numbers altogether converting into nothing more than question marks.
It took a two logs of, ”Son of a bitch,” and, ”Well that’s unfortunate,” from the dragoon and the black mage, respectively, for before he immediately opened his main menu up and dismissed the offline player- and much to the seeming relief of his two remaining party members.
With a single click, the party had been reduced to three, and after a prompt to replenish party roles, he shook his head while glaring towards the papers he had strewn across the table once more. ”...Truly…” he groaned within a quiet degree of annoyance. ”...Why? Why. Do I love...this game…?”
The feline clicked his tongue with a touch of disdain before opting to slide his headphones down at long last; adjusting the microphone so that it refrained from poking his cheek, and resting them against his shoulders and around his neck as he ruffled his hair and allowed his ears to finally manifest beneath the shade of his hand. Murmuring under his breath, a foreign tongued murmur of pensiveness escaped his lips as he gave the screen an idle glare, but before long, his gaze shifted towards the side as he took note of a faint motion from the corner of his eye. He lifted his gaze in time to spy another girl sitting within one of the free chairs, and - soon after she had arrived - a second had arrived, as well.
Blinking, he gave them both a sparing glance before shaking his head and bowing a subtle amount within his chair. ”...Mmn… My apologies for the clutter… he mused rather indifferently, reaching out to towards the direction of the first girl - as the majority of his papers had been within her, general vicinity - and offered her a slight, yet apologetic nod as he pulled his varied assignments back towards his form and began to organize them. Once he had successfully taken care to clear the area around her - and for her books, as well, hopefully - he shifted his attention towards the remaining, violet eyed lass towards his flank. With his free hand, he nodded promptly; gesturing to the seat that she was referring to within a curt manner. ”...By all means, take a seat if you will. Occupancy within the room today is rather high for some, odd reason, and seating is currently hard to come by, in any case…”

There she was, trying to understand the pages, but despite all of her efforts she couldn't understand anything apart from the word "magic". Words she was still too new to understand in its full. She wanted to understand, but the impotence of not knowing many of the words there made her start losing confidence and feel like a good for nothing person.
Then she noticed movement and it was a girl who asked the boy if she could sit. Her approaching made herself feel scared but she tried her best to don't show it. And as the guy moved some papers from her she glared at him shortly. "Sorry for the bother...I can sit somewhere else if you want..." She said in a shy voice as looks at both of them. Hiding her eyes with the fringe that fell over her face.
Her heart pounded hard and quickly as like always her fear to interact started to take over her actions. The desire of changing to her habitual form grew stronger, she wanted to run away and end with this stressful interaction. But she didn't want to look stupid, what if they end up laughing at her? Or think she is a coward? She feared that. So she made her best to hold on.

[attr="class","foreign"] [attr="class","dust"] [attr="class","gold"]words [attr="class","gold"]notes ulla [attr="class","sun"]A Foreign Sun * I never thought I'd see Just in the nick of time too, the number of books were starting to take a toll on her arms. The strain was real, as the weight of the combined books made itself apparent the longer she held onto its weight but once she got the go ahead from the man the girl offered a sigh in relief as a response as she dumped the books onto the clear space he made for her.
That was a close one, but then again someone really needs to teach her how to not overdo it when it comes right down to studying. Because let’s face it, her overdoing is not at all any different from her merely doing a ‘light’ revision. Light doesn’t exist in her vocabulary when it comes right down to work.
Sad how this kind ‘life’ is practical what she calls her ‘social’ life. But instead of people, she’s being social with tomes made from paper and ink. “Thank you…” She politely thanked the man for accepting her small request. She agreed, a nod in agreement echoed her sentiments about the library being especially packed today. “Exams might be upon us… that’s the only reason why anyone wants to spend any time inside here.” She lightly commented. There it was again, that familiarity kicking her straight in the groin it wasn’t until he removed those earphones did she…get a good look at those ears. See that Tao? No actually HEAR that? The lack of response aside from the quiet ‘squeak’ abruptly leaving the fragile girl’s small dainty form. Her arm shook, just as her body did when it all clicked into her head what she was looking was indeed…. CAT ears.
Cats…
Cats…
The mantra repeated itself like an echo that refused to abandon the echoing caves inside her head. She has a cat…right in front of her. With every twitch of muscle his ears gave so too did her brow twitched in tandem. Damn… and when she thought she made a hasty retreat from the two feline characters she met earlier. She shivered at the memory. Repressing it took nearly all of her reserves in the composure department. Luckily for the girl…there’s another distraction she can use to block the rest of it from draining away. “O-Oh its fine, stay theres a lot of space to go around.” She kindly told the other girl.
