Dr. Larken walked through the empty hallways, heading towards the auditorium. All of the students had left the school for two weeks because of a sudden acid outburst, burning many students. After it had been cleaned up, they made a new construction project for the school. An auditorium. The students were currently in there, well at least the ones that were still at school, and they were awaiting Dr. larken to come give the re opening of the school speech.
They had lost many students during the break, whether the acid had killed them, or their families had seen it unsafe to return, and now they were left with only 5 armies, about 30 students.
Dr. Larken scanned his eyes quickly over the list of students and their ages, putting together and armies in his head. Not many of the names popped out to him, but one in particular did. Jessica Zain. She had been here since the day she had turned 8, and back then she had been a tiny almost skeletal gir. But that wasn't what interested him. What interested him was that he had known her parents well. They had both been fighters in sa bugger war, and had both died.
He flashed out of his deep thoughts as he reached the door to the auditorium. He took one last look at the list, put a confident award winning grin on his face and pushed through the door, walking down the aisle. The room, which had been filled with normal chattering children went dead silent as he walked to the stage. For all the returning students, they knew how Dr. larken worked, how he made himself seem like a nice caring man, but in reality only cared about training them to be the best they could, and to blot out their emotions, but for the new students, well he was just a bit too movie star looking for their liking.
As he reached the stage, he walked slowly to the center, dragging out the worry of all the students. Finally, he reached the center and turned to face them, his smile turning into a smirk. "Hello," he said, his eyes feasting on the scared faces of the students. "I, for those of you who don't know me, am Dr. Larken. You will call me Dr. or Sir at all times. Now, due to recent issues we have lost many of our students, as in they have gone home, and don't plan on returning. Because of this, the armies will be changed, and new commanders made." At this comment, there was a bit of outbursts. What? No that's unfair! I'm the best leader you'll ever have, were just a few shouted out by the protesting students, but this only made Dr. Larkens grin widen. he stuck up his hand and instantly all the students became silent.
"First I will call the commanders, and each of them will come meet me on stage. Next I will call up the squad members, but, i will be calling up the squads in groups of two, starting with," he glanced down at his list, "Griffin and Tiger."
Dr. Larken took a deep breath, and smiled, preparing to call up the commanders. "The commander of Griffin is," he looked at the clipboard. "Phoenix, And the commander of Tiger is Jessica Zain." He closed his mouth and waited for the two girls to join him on stage.
