The class was dead silent. Jenny had her eyes locked on Izzac, she was trying to get some information on him to understand his strange outburst. Unfortunately Dr.Wakeman hadn't given her any info on him before now, and several scans turned up nothing. "Um, are you okay Izzac?" She finally asked, "Do you need to see the nurse or anything?"

Izzac: N-no. I'll be fine... I'm alright...
*he chuckled, before he sighed, and looked back down to the flat of his desk*
*Danny was now fixated on him*
*He knew that something was up, but he just couldn't pinpoint what...*
Izzac: Uh... Ms. Wakemen? What is this "exam" going to be exactly? What is it going to test?

"Well..." Jenny started. Suddenly the intercom crackled to life. "Attention," Dr.Wakeman's voice boomed, sounding from each room, "It is now time for the first of the student skills exams." In each room the students began to shift nervously. In Gene's room Leone snapped to attention. In Jenny's room Ayame quickly stashed her book in her bag, checking her belt to make sure that her two short swords were still there. She was surprised no one had noticed them before. "Would all exam staff and students report to Test Room A," She said, before concluding with, "That is all." Jenny turned to the room. "It's time," She said simply. *** A short time later the students found themselves in a massive room, although it appeared to be a sprawling forest, the students and teachers standing in a clearing towards the front. The students divided, the classes intermingling. Ayame found Thomas and Leone and stood next to them, staring across the clearing at the teachers. "Hi Thomas," She said with a smile. She exchanged the smile for a glare at Leone. "Jerk," Was her only greeting. Leone smiled nervously. "Sorry," He whispered. Ayame opened her mouth to retort, but Wakeman had started speaking from the line of teachers. "Welcome, students," She said, still capable of forcing attention without a microphone, "This is the first of your student skills exams." Her eyes surveyed the students. Almost no one else spoke. "Over the next two days we will use these tests to learn about your abilities, and learn what level you are each at," She said. Ayame tensed. This was her chance to prove herself, to show that she wasn't here because of anyone else. She let a confident smile spread across her face. "This exam will be used to get a base idea of your abilities," Wakeman said, "The idea is simple. You will have an hour to fight, and hopefully defeat, as many staff members as you can." A murmur spread through the crowd. Many students became more nervous. Others relaxed, smiling at the idea that they might get to kick the crap out of one of the staff. Leone rested his sight on Gene. "There will be no restrictions on your abilities, or on the use of weapons" Wakeman continued, "The only rules are that you may not kill your opponent, and no more than four students may fight one teacher at a time." The room became tense, all eyes locked on Wakeman. The students and teachers stared across at each other. Fear and excitement mixed in a way that was almost tangible in the air. "You will have five minutes to prepare," Wakeman said, before stopping dead in her tracks, smiling. Most of the teachers scattered as she spoke, disappearing into the forest. "Begin." ((OOC:Let's get this party STARTED! ;D))

Izzac: Oh no... Please let this just be a nightmare...
??: *in his head* heh heh... let the fun begin...
*he separated himself from his team and ran up to Ms. Wakemen*
Izzac: Uh... I know this is a lousy way to start off the school year, but... can I sit this one out?
Jenny: What? No. This it to give us a good idea what-
Izzac: Please!
*there was a look of worry in his eyes*
Izzac: I-... I don't want to harm anyone anymore... don't make me do this...
??: *in his head* i hope she won't let you...

"Sorry, no can do," She said, "Everyone has to be tested, no exceptions."

*He backed off*
Izzac: *to himself* This isn't good... uh, alright, no biggie... I'll just stay out of the shadows, and I'll be fine...
??: *in his head* you are being foolish boy... they wanna see what you can do... let them see... let them know... let them fear...
Izzac: No, I won't!
??: *in his head* yes, you will!...

"Okay, so I'm just gonna go ahead and assume us three will be together." Thomas said casually to Leone and Ayame. "But we'll need one more."
Then they heard Izzac talking to Dr. Wakeman, who was trying to reassure him of safety measures involved in the testing, and he apparently wasn't buying it. He looked.....worried about something.
"Hey, what's up?" Thomas asked, walking over to where Izzac had gone. "You okay?" he added, seeing the panic in Izzac's eyes.

Where they were standing Ayame resumed glaring at Leone. "So why are you here?" She asked him, "Want to insult me again?" There was a severe amount of anger in her voice. "Look," Leone said nervously, "I'm sorry." Ayame drew a short sword from her belt. It glimmered brightly in the synthetic sunlight, she gripped it's brilliant white binding so tight that her knuckles were white. "You'd better be," She mumbled as she looked over the blade.

*he looked to the boy named Alex*
Izzac: N-no. I'm fine...
*a black tentical spiralled out of his sleave and tighened around his arm from within his trenchcoat*
Izzac: *To himself* Oh no... *To Alex* Uh, excuse me...
*He ran away from him, tugging at his arm*
??: *in his head* i'm not letting go, boy... not until i come out... an i know how i will do that...
*another tentical snaked down his arm and tightened*
*more grasped his legs, and his torso, and one clutched the back of his head*
*they forced him to bend over, pick up a rock, and turned him towards the nearest power conduite*
Izzac: No...
??: *in his head* yessss...

As Gene takes position in the artificial forest, a thought crosses his mind. Wait a minute. I could either hang out here, doing nothing for an hour except maybe whup some kids' butts,... or I could go back to my room, doing nothing for an hour in a comfy comfy chair. A mischievous grin appears on his face as he uses his super speed to dig a small hole in the dirt. A hole that will lead to a tunnel. A tunnel that will lead to freedom. The students have incentive to participate in this thing. I, on the other hand,...

Alex saw the kid about to throw the rock and take out the power, probably linked to his outburst at Dr. Wakeman. He was standing over the kid nearly instantly.
"Now why would you want to cut the power?" He asked, not coldly, but concerned. He could sense the fear, which had to be related to something other than a simple test.....this was a fear for his life.
Or somebody else's.
"Oh, hey 13." Said Thomas, jogging over, but then froze, seeing movement by Izzac, though it appeared to stop when he looked.
"You were trying to cut the power? Do you want to miss the test that badly? It won't be that big a deal." He assured him, but then moved closer. "You sure you're okay?" Thomas added, concerned for the guy.

((OOC:Chronologically Before any potential power outage...)) Dr.Wakeman walked over to Gene's would be tunnel and frowned. "Oh Gene," She called, annoyed, "What exactly do you think you are doing?"

"What the...?" He looks around. "How did you find me back here? Did you tag me? Did you put some frickin' RFID chip in my neck?"
"You're not answering my question."
"If you must know, I'm digging a series of tunnels to hide myself in. Just like the Viet Cong."

"And you aren't ditching, right?" Wakeman asked, "Because then I'd have to dock your pay. And that would be bad for you."
