With that, Zuuka had managed to make (more) friends. Although it was certainly true he could probably count Luke, Abigail, and Alison as friends...probably...he didn't want to speak for them and so he held off on that.
Of course, the twins, having seen with him interact with those people, had a good idea of that as well, but they could also easily see that he was clearly awkward and not good with people. And so, Yuna and Yuma became his friends. After that, Yuma had an idea that did not make Yuna's overprotective instincts go into overdrive worrying about his brother overusing his powers.
Well, if it was reversed he probably would have done the same, suggesting to use his abilities at a crazy level and Yuma protesting. That said, he thought he heard a strange noise as they got out of the bath...but he didn't see anything so he left it alone. Zuuka however also thought he noticed something though...
Is that a Mark IV Lunaris Stealth System? In that case... (Zuuka thoughts)
His train of thought was interrupted though when Yuma got them both towels. Meanwhile, Yuna couldn't help but snicker internally with his brother at something.
"I know we just said we would be his friends, and meant it at all...but is it bad I kinda wish you claimed there was no third towel for him...ah man, when we find the people who tried to prank us like this, want to create a potion that will turn their clothes invisible after a period of time for revenge?"Yuna thought that as they wrapped themselves in towels. Incidentally, none of them were aware of it, but the appearance of them being embarrassed enough to do this was considered more adorable then them exposed. And with that, they left the place and headed back towards their rooms. Convienently, their rooms were on the same floor so that made it a bit easier.
But right when they were almost there, a group of three, older boys that were muscular and masquilin appeared in front of them. Yuna immediately knew they were there to help the "initiation". It appeared that there were other forms of this, but this was just one of the popular ones for the boy's dorm. And the way that the twins and Zuuka were going about it was not what they liked. Yuna also ready other things from their minds, and immediately tried to grab the towel around his waist tightly...only, none of them had the strength that these three had so them yanking it away would be easy.
"Now now, you can't go cheating. This is an important moment for boys young as yourselves. Look at you, being so arrogant as to think you can just go around without following the rules or acknowledging the heiarchy? Especially you two..." And then the three glared at the twins in particular. "I don't know who you were aiming at, but your little stunt made the boss trip and land in his food..."
Zuuka didn't quite remember that occuring, but then again everyone at that time had been pre-occupied and there were others besides them who got tripped....it seemed that the twins, or rather, Yuna, antagonized someone and got noticed. And then, the bullies went for him as well and...
"Aegis, repel".
Before the bullies could do anything, suddenly all three of them were sent sprawling away to the ground.
"I don't know who your boss is, and I don't care. But if you want a fight, next time pick one for better reasons".
Yuna meanwhile recovered the towels, and also created an attraction field on the three of them...to make them stuck to each other for a really long time.
Zuuka actually looked really cool in that moment. It appeared that when push came to shove, he was actually capable of standing up for himself...sort of. Yuna could tell that his personality seemed quite complex, but it seemed that somehow this situation met the conditions needed for him to act like this. After that, Zuuka quickly went to both of their rooms and used Aegis to break the magic prank barriers.
Incidentally, the trio would find their towels that had gone missing had been returned to their room apparently. That was because stealing was against the rules, even for stuff like this, but if it was returned to the owner's room or something like that it was okay.
And so after Zuuka separated from the twins and threw away the towel into a corner that would become known as the "laundry corner", he noticed Luke had beat him there.
"Ah...ah...eek!" Zuuka said as he got embarrassed and covered himself with his hands while looking away. Incidentally, with the exception that he was also undressed this time as well, this mimicked what Luke had done earlier, coming in and seeing Zuuka that way.
"I...I...I am really sorry" he said. He then looked at Luke's state. "You....you too huh? Careful...about the showers...it worked out for us this time, but...you might be made to walk back naked...fair warning."
Eventually though, he finally managed to look over to Luke. They were roommates and such, so of course they would see each other naked countless times, but Zuuka was still really shy it seemed. Even though Luke told him that he shouldn't be so shy with his young body, or something like that. Remembering that, Zuuka took a deep breath and tried to relax a bit more. "Sorry...if I seem weird, or overly conscious then. I guess...being naked around other guys in this setting is normal then? I mean, I guess I should be ready for it, with you being my roommate and all, but...I am just not used to being around people in a normal setting. I am usually a lot calmer and cooler then this, but...well...I just am not very used to people yet I guess. But...did you really mean what you said? About not having to be concerned with body image and all? Its just...I guess I was taught to always be wary of people since they can be judgemental and use it against you...but I thought, wearing a poker face for normal school stuff would be bad..."
As he said that, he looked over to his luggage. He finally went over to it, facing away from Luke and finally moving his hands to open the trunk. Even though Aegis had a storage system, the amount it could hold was limited so much of his belongings were inside the trunks. Incidentally, there were three large trunks on his side, and he opened up one of them. And then...he remembered he had a roommate...
"You know what, I think I should get some sleep" he said. His speech changed rather quickly too. It seemed like he was going to pick out something to wear to sleep, but then stopped. Of course, that should be expected. That was his sleepwear back when he was home, alone. He had no idea what was normal, but he didn't want to risk his usual sleepwear being more embarrassing then the body Luke had seen, with its practically unnatural skin that looked exceptional, the hair that looked pretty and breathtaking, and all that even before Yuna pulled his prank.
Incidentally, there were a few things in there that if Luke saw Zuuka wear, even with his self control for consideration might make him burst into laughter. After all, one of them was a neko-onesie his father bought him once since he thought he would look adorable in it.
Even Zuuka understood the need to keep certain things in the past secret. Thankfully, he knew people did sometimes sleep in the nude from having done it in the past himself after being told it was best during the hot months, and it was still in the hot months, so he figured he wouldn't be seen as strange as he grabbed a pillow and fell asleep while clinging to it and curled up a little.
Meanwhile...
Once Yuna and Yuma would get back to their rooms, Yuna grabbed his hand while he went over to the bed on the right. He grabbed both of their towels and tossed them to the side, and quickly got out a bag of magically preserved leaves. He then scattered them across the bed, and then put his hands on his hips with a smile.
"There...its a bit...more like home now..."
Although he was smiling, he started to cry a bit. As he got into the bed, he grabbed Yuma, pulled him in close until they were chest to chest hugging, and began to cry.
"...we finally made it....and we finally made a friend Yuma....we....we...we have to make mama and papa proud and be strong..."
Most people only knew Wood Elves as archers, or Spirit users, or people who isolated themselves in forests and such, and thought that was all there was to them, but in truth Wood Elves had an entire culture of their own. They believed in expressions of love among family and even friends to be normal, and often they had close, personal relations with their family and friends. A kiss would be a common occurance for those who held no romantic love for each other. Which also meant that, losing them all in a single night would cause significant mental stress to them. So for Yuna and Yuma to be like they were now spoke highly of their mental strength and determination.
Perhaps it showed just how strong their love for each other, as family, was as Yuna cried himself to sleep.
Meanwhile....TIME SKIP!
Yuna was the first one to wake up, and realize that it was already morning. He looked around, and saw that if they did not hurry they would be late for breakfast and maybe class. Well, time was not too pressed, but...they still were not used to the way there. So Yuna wanted a bit more spare time.
"Yuma...Yuma!" he said, before planting a kiss right onto Yuma's lips with enough force he hoped to wake him up. Lips were sensitive parts of the body after all, so Yuna figured it would be a good way to wake him up. It was how their mom often woke them up when both of them were being sleepyheads.
He then started to recall that their first class of the day, after breakfast of course, would be gym. Of course, because it was hot they would have to shower again, but it was also the morning. He figured that they would probably be less inclined to do something that would actually interfere with their ability to make classes on time.
Of course, he also remembered that they would have to change into Gym uniforms, which was a design based on and handed down from a long time ago from the original academy, a tunic where someone would then tie around the waist and wear. It had no sleeves, and the Academy colors of white with red outlining. This is because even back in the day, the academy had both noble and commoner students, so it had to be something simple, a one piece outfit, that was all commoners could really afford back then in case it got damaged, while fancy enough for the more upper class people.

They had two of them, though it was not clear to Yuna if they wore normal clothes and then put them on in the gym locker room, or if they could put them on after a morning shower or bath...
Meanwhile...
Zuuka, who was unused to any such requirements of waking up early, would require a very, very forceful awakening by Luke...
Meanwhile...
The gym teacher, Aston Dorion, looked over his student roster for the first gym class of the day. "Well, it looks like we have quite the variety of students. Thankfully, this school has a good idea. Even if they share the same gym class, workouts definently need to be modified for each student, to push each one to the limit while making sure they are physically capable of it. Well, they would be given the same workouts as much as possible still to promote class unity though".
He said this while he ate a danish and worked on the groupings and activities, though he planned to give them a good and propper introduction to gym at Mistviel Academy as well.
"Although, they will still need to have a quick physical done by the nurse as well" he added, a bit annoyed some of his class time would get taken away by that. But, it couldn't be helped. Doctor medical records were confidential, and this would give them a secure, safe envirornment to tell the nurses about any issues they wanted to discuss privately. It also would give them the physical data he needed to make absolutely sure he didn't do something bad, like give a student a workout they actually couldn't handle, or subject a student to something they were incapable of doing.
Plus, they would make sure if the students had any allergies they needed to make note of, extra body parts to be concerned about, sensitivity to physical stimulus in a certain place, or had cybernetic implants that they had to take note of. Especially that last one, since it would be really silly to make someone do a workout that worked an area replaced by cybernetics or prothetics or such, as it would hold no merit and instead could be doing something better.
