"Ring Ring Ring"

A hand slowly runs around the desk trying to smack the mastermind behind the sound. BAM! the ringing stops.

'Damn I really hate that sound.' Max starts to get out of bed and get ready for the day. Turning to the clock seeing that it's 8:30 he makes a mental note how much time he got till he has to meet the girls.

As he steps out of his room and make way to the living room wearing what can only be describe as lazy Sunday attire. He grabs himself a glass of water and walks over to sofa to start the day.

"Vroom" the door toward his left open up along with Blake also wearing lazy Sunday gear walks in.

"Good morning." Max says hoarsely

"Good morning." Blake say similarly.

"Good morning you too." Colton says

The boys each get their morning drinks and started to talk about what they want to see.

"Well I was thinking that we go ahead and see which of us is the strongest." Colton says as he pours himself another cup of coffee.

"That sounds fun." Blake says

"Umm not to be that guy but I can't use most of the magic, I'll only able to use weak magic." Max says embarrassed.

"Ah don't worry I'm sure that you could still beat one of the girls. I mean their only girls." Colton says

"I don't know about that, your sister has quite the mean right hook." Blake says

Colton shudders as he seems to remember something.

"That monster ain't no girl she a beast." Colton then turns to Max "Hey Max do you have an inner element?"

"Yeah why?"

"Well if you have one why can't you just use it for the fight."

"Cause I don't know how to use it nor know what it is." Max says as he scratches his cheek.

"How you know you got one then?" Colton looks confused.

"I mean their was one time when I was little that I use it but I don't remember what happen all my Mom told me was that I have one." Max shrugs.

"Don't think about it too hard as long as you're in inner elements 101 you'll learn how to use it." Blake says with sympathy.

"Thanks."

The boys then finish their drinks each get dress and make way to the cafeteria for brunch. Max can be seen wearing a black shirt with buttons and jeans that go together well. Blake is wearing a green shirt with pale shorts and sunglasses. Colton is wearing a grey shirt and purple shorts as if he's going out for a jog.

"Colton, I though you want to be nice for the girls?" Max says

"I do but why should I have to change how I look just for some girls, if they don't like for who I am why should I even bother them." Colton says with a deadpan expression.

"Sure you say that but when It comes to Ruby you always try to at least match your clothes." Blake teases Colton.

"Shut your mouth I do not, I.. It just happens to match when I go to see her." Colton's cheeks red a little.

"Skirt Chaser." Blake says

"Shut Up." Colton rebounds

"Guys stop it were almost there." Max acting like the parent breaking up their two kids.

As they walk into the cafeteria the boys see two girls standing together talking. Hearing the two boys talking the girls look over to the noise and start to way them over.

"Good morning Max, and you guys must be his roommates." Kami says to the boys

"Good morning Kami, and yes these are two I message you about last night." Max shows his hand over to the two boys.

"Hi there Kami and Miss my name's Blake it's a pleasure to meet you." Blake being the gentlemen does a slight nod forward.

"Hi I'm Colton." Colton being the rude man and straight forward person he is talking as he also scratches his belly.

"Hehe" Sophie can be seen giggling at Colton straight forwardness.

"So this is what you said when don't pay attention to his behavior." Kami states

"Well it seems you been telling these girls my behavior is bad, Max." Colton walks over to max and looks right into his eyes

'Oh my goodness can this guy not understand what's going on. Of course I would tell them, I mean if they didn't they might have been worse to yuh. This is why stupid people is bad for others.' Max's shakes his head in defeat.

"Hey man don't worry I'm sure they would have came to the same conclusion even if I didn't tell them." Blake walks over and puts his hand on Colton's shoulder.

"He isn't wrong." Sophie mumbles.

"You right girl." Kami whispers back to her

"Chill out Colton were here for brunch you can go at it later." Max reminds him.

"True you right." Colton nods in agreement even though a second ago he was thinking of getting into in.

'What a simple man at least he is easy to please.'

"Well we should get going before they stop giving out brunch." Max says

"Alright sounds good." Kami says

The group goes ahead and gets their brunch they all sit around a circle table.

"You know I was thinking what should we go out a see?" Max says trying to make good conversation.

"Sophie and I want to see the shopping district since our teacher didn't take us their due to his fight."

"Oh you aren't missing much just a bunch of second handed crafts." Colton comments as he takes a bite out of his waffle.

"Well it's still something me a Sophie what to see K." Kami rebounds back at Colton

"Hey to mean with me sissy I'm just saying the truth." Colton throws his hands up into the air.

"Hmph!" Kami blows up her cheek and turns her head to the other side.

"Giggle." Sophie giggles again at Colton. Colton looks to Sophie and turns slightly red to the cheek and turns away.

Blake lends over to Max "Look at this fool already chasing skirts."

"At least Sophie seems to find him funny."

"Being funny is the only good thing he's for. Oh I guess fighting as well, he decent at that as well. Fucking big belly bastard." Blake scoffs.

"Oi you two don't act like we can't see you gossiping." Colton looks dead at Blake and Max as if they were bad men.

"Oh shut it will you, you damn skirt chaser." Blake says back.

"Why you little. Listen here when we get to see who's the strongest you won't be laughing then."

"Are you guys going to fight or something?" Kami asks

"Yeah we want to see who's the strongest before the year starts and measure for quarter exams." Blake tells.

"I'm down for it but Sophie won't do something like that so it just be us four." Kami states as Sophie nods her head behind her hands.

"Ah that's fine I was pretty sure that none of you were going but this is a great surprise." Colton puts his hands across his chest and nods.

"Just cause I'm a girl don't mean I can't enjoy a good fight." Kami pout's

"HAHAH ha I like your style girly." Colton gives out a hardy laugh.

'How the fuck did he just get out that, I thought Kami was going to get on his ass like no tomorrow. Whatever at least they don't hate each other.'

"So I'm guessing the plan then is to go to the shopping area then go see who's the strongest then go from there." Max says.

"Sounds good."

"ok with me."

"same with me."

"S..sure."

"Alright let's get going then." Max stands up and puts away his tray empty from food.

Watching from another table can be seen five other boys each wearing very fancy and bright blue outfits. These boys come from the Antarctica Empire value power and nobility very high.

"Boys I've seemed to have smell a foul smell earlier perhaps we take out the trash." A well-built man with a perm cut says.

"Indeed this "trash" should be taken out." Another boy says

"If even Robin doesn't like him then I see no issue taken out the trash." curly hair boy says

"Agree let's get a move on I'll call up Micky he'll be down for a good fight." perm cut says

The boys get up and start to head to the dorms. Max nor his group seem to understand what they have just started. For them their just having fun enjoying school, for the others it's a battlefield. A battlefield that commoners shouldn't be a part of. A place where nobles that are weak and don't value their rules should not be in the race. The only reason many haven't done anything yet is due to the fact that their Mr. Hover's students. For himself is a lowly noble and many nobles learn what happens when you mess with this lowly noble.

Max and his group of buddies can be seen walking around the shopping district. The girls are trying out different outfits and even trying to get Colton to wear some nice clothes.

"I'm telling you I ain't wearing that suit!" Colton can be seen yelling as he runs from Kami who has a suit like a Egyth God.

"Come on the suit well look great on you I mean it's freeing flowing and stuff." Kami yells back at Colton.

"Hey Blake if those two try to go after us next let's make a run." Max whisper over to Blake

"Agree."

"What you two talking about." Kami says as she walks behind the boys. Both not prepare jump up a look at each other and on que. VROOM, and the boys are out of there.

"Hey come back, Sophie put the stuff back we got to show these boys who's the boss." Kami punch's her palm and she drops the clothes and books it after the boys.

"A..aah ok." Sophie mumbles.

Other shoppers around the store can be seen giggles at students for many of them this is what school should really be. Having fun with classmates and working hard to pass the class. If only that were true.

Around 2 in the afternoon Max's and everyone can be seen walking around the red wood forest. Each looking at the marvel that this forest is.

"It's crazy to thing these things used to be all over California." Max says

"I mean back then they didn't even have bullet trains, I even heard that had these people call Hippies." Kami responds

"Like the tree folk of old Brazil?" Max questions as the group stops to talk.

"Hmm I think those were more like mutant tree frogs." Kami says

Colton then turns his head away from the group as if he hears a sound.

"Hey you two stop talking I think I hear something."

Dead silence radiant throughout the forest for only birds and incents can be heard.

"Your just paranoid relax remember the forest isn't bad unless we go deeper into the forest." Kami walks over to Colton and pats him on the back letting him know it going to alright little guy.

"Oi just cause I thought I heard something doesn't mean that I'm scared, you rascal." Colton folds his hands in his chest.

"It's fine we should head over to the arena if we want to battle like you guys want." Max comments

"You right let's get a move on." Blake says

The group starts to trend back towards the castle and at the this point their walking in the bottom a valley about 4 feet high. This being a path that Quinn show the class during the trip.

As they make way rustling of leaves and grass can be heard around the ridge of the cliff.

"Colton I sure those sounds are just the animals from early, you don't have to be tense." Kami keeps telling Colton

"Sure, sure and those 'animals' only have been following us for half a mile for no reason." Colton throws his hands up.

All of a sudden, a shadow of a man can be seen jumping down into the cliff. Turning his head up can be seen a man with a clean cut, a perm with foo man shoo beard. Wearing a first-year outfit along with Blue Mountain badge like Colton's.

"Hello there." the man grins "It seems I've stubbles a pond you four and would you look at that a commoner too it seems."

Out of the trees four other boys can be seen each donning the blue uniform. Each grinning

'Fuck, of course second day of school and I'm already getting jumped. Fucking shitty nobles.' Max's spits at the ground and stares daggers at the fence of teeth that perm boy is showing.

"Hey you mind letting us get through we trying to get back to the castle." Max try's to defuse the whatever problem they got with him.

"Hey Brock I don't know if it just me or not but sounds like this commoner thinks he can converse with us."

"Yes it does now don't it." The man name Brock also being the man that jumped down walks forward. "Now you other nobles I hope you give us some time alone with your toy so we can show him how this school going to work."

"And wouldn't it be a shame if you were to get in our way now, wouldn't it?" The man still up top tells.

"Yeah It would, wouldn't it." Colton moves up to the front of the group. At the same time Max walks forward next to him.

'Shit if Colton fights them then Blake going to join, and I'm already rope up in this. Kami and Sophie might get hurt when they go for us using any spells they may have. I've got to see if we can get out of this at least where others can see what's happening.' Max thinks as he sees the air turn thick as water.

'Damn their locking the area so we can't run nor climb up the cliff. It must be an artifact they using. Guess it's time to try to spit some insults maybe It'll throw them off their game.'

"If you want to talk this out with fist how about we do a duel. Unless you're afraid that I'll beat you in front of your other nobles. But how could I lose to you, I mean I'm only more handsome and got bigger muscles then you." Max flips his hair and tries to look cool by looking straight at the eyes of Brock not showing any fear whatsoever.

Brock face turns to disgusted "Fine I'll fight in a duel cause mama didn't raise no bitch."

'Well that turn out better then I fought.' Max thinks these last few words as their group makes ways make to the castle. 'God, I hope he doesn't know Inner Elements, if he does Then I'm fucked.'
