Day After War Nexus

Chapter 2 - The Student and the Teacher

After the 30 laps, Shadow and the others met Knight Black Soul in the middle of the track where she properly introduced the unicorn and earth pony.

                "Since, Seng took so long I had to bring some assistance, everyone meet the ponies who will aid you if you are injured. Leader of the medical team Fyn Cour(fine core) and her assistant Dust."

                 Fyn Cour was the unicorn, her cutie mark was a red heart under a pair of crossing swords. Dust, the earth pony, had a cutie mark of a medical cross formed by two swords. Every single pony except Shadow and Black Soul there on the track were about 18-21 years of age. Shadow and Black Soul were around the ages of 27-30.

                Black Soul addressed her students,"You may return to your barracks for a few hours to get to know each other. Dismissed."

                They arrived at the barracks. It was a steel rectangular prism but, that was the only one there. The other C.O.s had different barracks for their recruits elsewhere.

                 "You a little bit older than the rest of us, Shadow." Seng remarked.

                 Shadow replied,"I stalled and my a few mistakes, I'm correcting those mistakes right now."

                  "Any family?"

                  Shadow chuckled,"And I just made another, hehehe. I have one daughter.You?"

                   "Never knew my parents. I was raised in an orphanage until I was sixteen. I waited two years in the frontier by Canterlot before coming here."

                    The two kept asking each other questions you would if you just met someone. Meanwhile, at the frontier Shadow's daughter was on her way to school. Her coat was a light orange, mane and tail were yellow. She is 14. Her cutie mark was a white sun. She arrived to class a few minutes late, the teacher was already giving a lecture about the rules. Though that Dawn has been alive, her and Shadow are both immortal, for so long she has gained the knowledge of many teachers from different parts of the world. She kept herself busy by attending school.

                     "Okay class this must be our first tardy student of the year on the very first day of school, Dawn. Go find a open seat." the teacher scolded.

                      Dawn kept quiet and felt the other kids staring at her since she was the only one standing besides the teacher. The teacher's name, according to the chalkboard, was Ms.Grazer. Her coat was a maroon, her mane was curved and had stripes of a light pink and pink. Her cutie mark was a ruler laying against an apple. Dawn chose a seat in the back of the room by a sky blue unicorn with a mane and tail the same color. She had no cutie mark yet even though she should.

                     "Now for a social activity. Look at the neighbor next to you and introduce yourself."

                     "Hey, my name is Flake, what's your name?" the sky blue unicorn asked. She sounded nice but, Dawn still didn't respond, she was already sleeping on her desk buried underneath her hooves.

                     Flake responded awkwardly,"Uuhhhh......okay."

                     Dawn didn't want her feel left out so she lifted her head and said,"Well, you should already know my name."

                     "I know I was just trying to start a conversation."

                     "Good job at that."

                     "Where did you come from?"

                     "Fall....I mean, I came from the Crystal Empire(this was just an excuse)."

                     "That's cool, how long have you lived here?"

                      "For two years now."

                     "I've been here for 3. Any family?"

                    "Yes, my father and a dear friend."

                     "What's their names? If you don't mind me asking."

                     "It's fine. My father is Shadow and my friend is Excaelum(ex-say-lum)."

                     "The only family I have with me here is my mother." Flake said.

                     They too, engaged in a generic conversation.

                     Back at the Barracks. Knight Black Soul entered.

                     "Alright, tomorrow we will test your speed in a time trial. For the next two hours you are all going to be flying the track at a pace you find fitting. To the track, NOW!!"

                      Seng mumbled,"Unnecessary shouting."

                      "It's only unnecessary if we don't hear her." Shadow said.

                      "I guess that's true."

                      "Well, I'm guessing she's like that so we can see her as a leader and take her seriously."

                      "I think we should hurry before our serious teacher yells at us."

                       Back at school with Dawn.

                       The class had a long social activity but, they were starting to get rowdy.

                       "Class, please sit down."

                        Ms.Grazer was getting blocked out by the loud class,"SIT DOWN!!"

                        The class sat down as fast as lightning strikes.

                         "Good." She waited for the next minute until the early school day ended with the sound of a bell.

                         RIINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
