Dr. Simon Azler's Story

Atrix noticed the boy waving at him, and that it seemed like he was some sort of beastkin, but Atrix was in such a hurry that he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was going to pick up his new curriculum, and he did have to see the Headmaster at least once. Atrix did not know how, but somehow he was able to meet with every student as they joined. It didn't mean much, but he liked to get a feel for the person.

He was technically enrolled with a schedule and everything, but he had to meet the headmaster still. He didn't even know who his roommate was yet, if he had one. Or two. The rooms were pretty nice though. However...Atrix was hopelessly lost, and somehow no one was around after that boy disappeared. Atrix considered to go and look for him while he waited.

Meanwhile, the moment Meeko went to knock on the door, it would seemingly lunge out where his hand got close, and try to suck him through the door! Traveling through would have a weird, almost slimy feel, as it felt like the entire door was feeling his body with its liquidy and slime-like movements. It took only about thirty seconds, but it seemed far longer then it should for a door that should have been thin. Furthermore, part of the slime it secreted was the one that seemed to cause increased good feeling, and stimulation.

It would then deposit Meeko on the ground, in front of the headmaster. It then spat out his shoes, and the door seemed to turn back to normal.

"So, how did it feel?! My new door! I thought the old one was boring, so I turned it into a sort of slime golem creature! And...ah, did it drool a little? Would you like a towel, or maybe just an entire change of clothes?"

The Headmaster, Simon Azler, spoke to him with an innocent smile. He loved using magic for doing silly stuff like that, and had a playful spirit.

"Hmmm....I don't recognize you...which means, you are either here to finish your enrollment process, or start it, correct? After all, while I certainly cant deny students based on personality, I like to get a feel for each one. Oh, and of course, as the head doctor for the Academy as well, I have to give each student a physical checkup unless they give me an all clear from a registered doctor....and even then, I still might have to do it just in case. I was expecting someone else though..."

Suddenly, the door began to react again...and after awhile, it spit out Atrix who seemed to be dizzy and confused.

"Hello? Can someone point me in the direction of the headmaster's office?"

Atrix had gotten so lost, he didn't even realize this was the headmaster's office.

"I see....my name is Simon Azler by the way, and I am in charge of this campus. Now, uhh, boy, is it possible my Slime Golem Door is a bit too extreme?"

Meeko shook himself off much like most animals would to get the excess slime off his body. He was just about to answer the Headmaster's question when the door reacted and spat the kid out he had seen earlier. This time, however, Meeko was the one putting his shoes back on. He didn't wear socks as his furry paw-like feet got too hot if he did. After pulling them on and retying them, he looked back to the headmaster.

"My name is Meeko Maow. I heard that your academy was accepting students that were... different. People with powers and that sort of thing. I would like to join and learn more about how to use my powers and more about magic, if you would accept me that is. I have no family or money if there is a tuition." Meeko said sheepishly. The headmaster was intimidating even while being friendly. Meeko could feel the immense power rolling off him in waves and the thought of being examined for a physical brought back terrible memories of being experimented on by the scientist. His tail began twitching at the tip uncontrollably at the thought of being examined.

"Meeko Maow, huh? And, then you over there must be Atrix Akir, right?"

"Yeah!"

While Atrix was standing up, he responded, but the headmaster for the moment looked up closer at Meeko Maow. He was being very observant, although he looked a bit eccentric this way as well. However....his mind was working at lightspeed.

The way he acted towards the physical just now...a bit too intense at least for normal shyness, something bad happened? No family pretty much supports that, but he does have a last name...self made? I see, might be a bit of a loner type possibly? Anyways, as for the bad things....although they are more common on this planet as Beastkin Cat People, I don't think he is native to the planet. But he does seem special...special powers...hunted down by people who wanted to make use of his gifts...or maybe, scientists who did this to him in the first place? I can't narrow it down any further then a few various options, but I have enough to know what I need to do...

Atrix was a bit curious about what was going on, and moved in closer...but when he realized what was going on, it was too late for him to escape! The headmaster came and embraced Meeko in a hug, and Atrix accidentally got caught up in it.

"It's okay...everything is going to be fine. With your energy levels, it should be good".

The headmaster spoke in a voice that was smoothing and warming, showing some experience in this.

"I am not sure exactly what happened to make you react like how you just did, but you don't need to worry. I won't harm you. You see, we have people go under these physicals because as the doctor, and the headmaster, I want to know everything I can about my precious students, to protect their health, to assist them learn, to make sure that no evil wizards are trying to use them as suicide bombers by forcibly tattooing Eldritch Symbols onto them and make them explode via remote control, which would be nullified when passing through that door. I simply care a great deal for my students....even if it cost me getting any girlfriends so far...and I said that because I simply wanted to check on your health".

Something unnecessary was added in there, and then thought of something else.

"If you want, I could give Atrix a physical right in front of you first! I mean, I kinda noticed this before, but Meeko is new, and Atrix has zero roommates in his room, not a single one, so if your sharing a room and your both boys, should be fine right?"

"Wha...what?! How do you call that fine!"

In truth, it was an honest suggestion and question the headmaster had asked, but he also did it to help Meeko who might have reacted badly from that by making a bit of fun.

Meeko wasn't expecting the hug. It had been so long, if ever, that he had received any form of positive touch from someone. His multi-colored eyes began to water with happiness. He hugged back as he was squeezed tightly. "I think I will be okay." Meeko assured both of them. "There's no need to do that on my account. I don't want anyone to get embarrassed. I'm just a little... nervous around doctors. You're right, something happened and that's how I got some of my powers. My magic abilities are natural to my species, but underdeveloped." He spoke with a little more confidence in his voice. "I would look forward to being your roommate, though. You're the first kid I've met that didn't pull my tail or try to pet me." He smiled at Atrix.

"I still don't understand a lot. What kind of power levels do you mean? My magic or my genetic powers?" He knew that there were different levels of ability for both magic and other powers, but he had no idea how powerful he was or what his potential power could be. He was not used to being in a place where people cared about him and as such he was still reluctant to go into all the details of his escape from the dark vile planet where he was tortured.

"I see...that is good. And yes, one might say it is unrefined....but trust me, I see great potential in your magic. I am a master wizard, after all. I can do everything. And..."

Suddenly, when he flicked his hand, two folders appeared in front of him. One was written with Atrix's name, the other was blank. However, he waved his hand over it and it began to be filled with details. At the same time, he smiled at them.

"I think I can handle the rest. We can say that is it for the interviews...but the issue is, is that I still have nothing on either of your medical records. That is one of the reasons I wanted to do a physical, to make sure you didn't have any abnormalities. After all, I do need the blood samples from it in order to tell your blood type. Ah, I am sure you both know about blood types right? Wouldn't it be problematic if someone with type O blood was to be given type AB? Completely incompatible, right?"

Actually, he was sure he had heard cases where people die from that. If he had their medical records, everything would be fine. But Atrix's family and friends had been a nomadic tribe that got wiped out, and Meeko had no history period. If he didn't do this, it would be bad for their health. There would also be the potential lawsuits, but it was mostly their health he was considered about.

"For two people with zero medical backgrounds, unless you two can conjure up accurate, real records I can use from somewhere, anywhere, that can give me this information...I mean, I would hate to discover a student had asthma AFTER the asthma attack!"

Of course, maybe it was from the nature of the academy, he did like input. As a result, through his form of words, if Atrix or Meeko could think of a reasonable solution, any reasonable solution that worked anyways, they could get out of any potential embarrassing situations for now.

"I'll do the physical, I just didn't want to embarrass Atrix by you doing his in front of me to make me less anxious. I can go first with Atrix in the other room, then when you're done he can get his." Meeko explained. He wasn't worried about him doing anything bad to him at this point. "I'll give you any information you need if I have it. I don't even know what my blood type is." He admitted sheepishly.

"Well, I wont force you, but you are roommates now so its going to happen eventually..." the headmaster said, musing a little. That said, given the door he had for his office, this sort of thing was nothing. After Atrix moved to the other room, Dr. Azler had him strip down and he did the physical, as well as the important drawing blood step.

Afterwards, he did the same for Atrix, having him get naked, doing the examination, and then drawing blood. Of course, one would naturally feel incredibly embarrassed for all this, but Simon never once stepped out of line...though he made some verbal jabs to be comedic. Once they were both dressed again, he handed them two roomkeys.

"Alright then! Here are your room keys!" he told them as he handed them their room keys. "Please be careful not to lose them, and uhhh...well, don't be afraid of each other. You are both fine physical specimens with nothing to be ashamed of".

By now, it should have been clear...the principle is a kind hearted, whimsical, wise man....who also had a pranksterish side.

After all, just look at his front door!

"And feel free to decorate the dorm room as you see fit, so long as you don't break anything!"

moved to dorms

After the headmaster saw them off, he decided it was time to deal with the next situation at hand. That was the young man that had just ran into the physical wall of the Academy, after a spatial distortion was registered and he appeared from nowhere.

"Oh dear, I do hope it is not another Interdimensional horror. I would like to get through some 'normal' schooldays before anything like that happens".

He decided to be a bit more direct, even if it did not mean using the fun door he had created, and had a Teleportation Spell Array appear under the newcomer's feet all the way from his office. Unless the young man for whatever reason decided to avoid it, although given how large the area of effect was and that it would try to follow him that would be difficult, he would be teleported right in front of the headmaster.

"Hello there. I am Headmaster, Principle, Head Doctor, and Director of Astrius Academy, Simon Azler. Who are you may I ask, and why did you run into one of our walls strong enough to hold back large scale demon beasts and enchanted with extra resistance and sturdiness?"

The sudden teleportation made Kaju'ha yell, making him try to grab something so he doesn't go through what he was going through. He calmed down rather quickly though, as he came face to face with the Headmaster/Principle/Head Doctor/Director guy. "Oh hey. I was wondering if I could find a book on interdimensional travel." Kaju'ha looked around the room as he sat up, wiping his mouth of food crumbs. "It looks bigger here." Even though he may or may not be outside. He couldn't tell.

Kaju'ha's attention snapped onto the Headmaster/Principle/Head Doctor/Director guy, smiling goofily. "I'm Kaju'ha." He was trying to figure out how he'd tell the man that he had blurry vision and rushed forward and met the wall head-on unintentionally. "Well, I had blurry vision. And I love to run. So the wall was an unsuspecting victim of my blurry vision." Kaju'ha smiled widely as he itched his forehead. "It still itches a bit." He was starting to wish he didn't eat his sandwich so fast now. "Do you know where I might find some food?" He rubbed his belly slightly after hearing it grumble. As if he couldn't seem stupid enough, he decided to see what the Headmaster/Principle/Head Doctor/Director guy smelled like, taking a deep breath in.

The headmaster was a very intelligence, very patient person. However, what just happened in front of him was so completely nonsensical, he legitimately outright teleported Kaju right to the library since he had no idea how else to respond to him.

And then, he looked at the next few. One was still panicking, so he decided to just leave him there for now and let him calm down a little, while the other was one of the new exchange students. Since the teleportation method had not gone so well, he decided to produce a glowing trail that would lead Akela right to the front door of the Headmaster's office, which was still turned into a slime that would suck people in when they tried to enter, and would suck people out when they tried to leave. What was the point in turning his front door into a slime? He was just testing a spell, thought the end result was interesting, so he left it as is.

He was still reasonable, but a bit eccentric.

Akela looked down at the path that appeared at her feet. "What the..." She started
Akela started to follow the path hoping to the Goddess that this was not some kinda of prank the alien girl trick. She soon realized though that it was leading her to the headmaster's office.
Akela looked confused as she came to what should have been the door of the headmaster's office. Cautiously she reached out her hand to touch the slime door. Akela screamed as she was sucked into the room falling face first into the office. She picked herself up her face red with embarrassment.
"I guess you wanted to see me.."

"Ah yes. Oh, hmm, maybe I should put a sign saying 'Be careful of footing when entering', huh? I must admit though, the fact the door turned into a slime, and that its really effective, I think is great. Ah yes, right, let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Simon Azler, Headmaster, Medical Doctor, and various other things. ANyways, I like to talk with each student that enters, even if its just a little bit and very casual, to learn more about them, what they are like, and how they think so I can best manage things appropriately".

He greeted her kindly, though he showed a bit of his eccentric side in the process.

"Well, this is an academy to not just learn, but to discover, experiment, and thrive. And this helps me keep in touch with the students. Anyways, unless I am mistaken, I recently was sent your medical records to show you are all clear, Ms. Akela Anku, and so I also wanted to make sure you got a warm welcome after your travels".

Lorne looked around, noticing the headmaster's office and decided to attempt entering it... It was probably best to try and find out what is going on before doing anything else... He held his chest as he attempted to go through the slime door, no good... It wouldn't open....

What IS this place anyway?! he thought as he looked at everything around him, wondering if he had been kidnapped or something... His head was all fuzzy, like a massive hangover from too much mead.

Suddenly someone came out of the office, it was the headmaster... Lorne asked in a quiet tone "w-were you the one... who kidnapped me?" Within the office was also a girl... Lorne didn't know her but he could tell she too was dragged into whatever THIS is...

"Well I have to admit this is all very new to me...." Akela said. "I have never been off my home world before it is very strange to go from being just another girl in the crowd to being one of the only of your kind on the planet."

Akela looked around the office and sighed. "I just hope I don't let my people down..."

Lorne looked at her strangely, a slight blush creeping on his face.
D-dammit she is pretty he thought as he swallowed quickly.
"M-Miss... U-um..." Lorne stuttered awkwardly, he wasn't good around anyone let alone girls.
He looked at the Headmaster too, thinking of how many people have been sent here by him...

Andolen returned to his desk and continued otherwise preparing for the class that was to begin. As he did so, he came across a memo from the headmaster. He eyed it thoughtfully, then chuckled. "Foppish fool probably forgot just as cleanly as I did."

But still, better safe than sorry. Andolen stood, secured his work, then stepped out of the classroom and closed it behind him. He then made his way to the headmasters office, although decidedly not by the slime door. Instead, he waved his hand and opened a portal, like a hole opening in space, edged by runes and strands of energy. With a short hop, he jumped through and stepped into the office, glancing at the two students to be before addressing the headmaster. "Doctor." He said, with a nod of his head.

"Oi oi, don't look at me. This is the Headmaster's office. Of course people come here all the time to do various things".

As if he knew what he was thinking, Azler replied to him before looking back at the young woman.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, there are countless other unique entities in this school. Geniuses, talented individuals, we even have the sole survivor of the Akir clan in our walls. We take in people from all over, humans, dwarves, elves, beastkin, even aliens, we accept everyone and anyone, to give them the best education. At Astrius, you can essentially prepare for everything. Well, I don't deny life can get very interesting here too. But, we have faith in the campus security...as well as the Student Security".

He thated twiddling with a thumb in his fingers.

"Now, I believe one of you already has things prepared....but what about you, mr....I don't think you introduced yourself yet?"

He found it to be a bit difficult to communicate with someone without knowing their name. Of course, it was right at that time a fellow staff member joined them via portal.

"Ah, hello there. I have some good news for you! I think quite a number of recent students will be headed towards classes you are teaching....if I recall correctly, you were responsible for Magic Theory and/or Mathmagics right? The beginning of a semester is always so busy, never ending work to do".

No, in truth, he got his paperwork done at a speed that most could not dream of, but this was something Azler paid little mind to.

The hallowed halls of Astrius academy, Kayabuki didn't quite understand the logic, or the reasoning behind sending her here, but she had been given the assignment, and reluctantly accepted on behalf of the emperor.

Her red pantsuit had been pressed the night before, and she did her best to keep up appearances, with carefully done makeup, carefully styled hair, and a very cropped, and professional appearance painstakingly tailored for her appearance here on this new, alien world.

She had a long itinerary ahead of her, make contact with the local government to make way for relations between her people, and the people of this world, but she also had to fulfill a special request from Shimizu, and that was to enroll his sister, Aeka into this Astrius academy, so she could better understand her own abilities, and be around people with similar abilities.

This place was alien, but that didn't discourage her, finding her way to the Headmaster's office, approaching the Secratery.

"I'm here to see the Headmaster, I've got an appointment." She said. "Yoko Kayabuki, for twelve o'clock."

Quintin walked down the corridors of the Academy. He seemed to be oblivious to the other students in the halls as he passed by, despite the obvious looks he was getting from the girls... and a few of the boys. He read the directions on the paper but he still managed to get lost in the halls of the giant building. "Now where is the darn Headmaster's office?" He muttered as he looked around. He spotted a map posted on the wall and figured out that it was on the other side of the campus. He walked across the campus and found the office.

He took his headphones off and heard that the headmaster was already meeting with some others. He also noticed another woman waiting to enter as well. "I guess I'll wait until he's not so busy." He said as he took a seat and waited.
