New guy at CHS: The Mystic Realm

The girls soon arrived to a classroom full of girls that all seemed to look the same age as them, or even younger.

"Take your seats girls. I have to take role," They nodded before taking their seats, "Now, let's take role here girls!" One of the students raised her hands before he started, "Yes?"

"Why are you teaching here?" Cobalt sighed as she continued, "I mean, this is an all-girls school. So why is a man teaching here?"

Cobalt looked at his clipboard and snickered, "So your name is Lightning Breeze. You're an intermediate in a beginner class. If you're an intermediate in a class for beginners, then there must be a reason for that too," Some of the students started to chuckle at Cobalt's remark, "Please, I'll tell if you tell why you're here."

"..."

The girl sat in silence as Cobalt grinned, "Well, from the looks of it, it seems you mouth off a little too much. Well, from what your file here says. You're a mystic that specializes in illusion magic... interesting."

"What's so interesting about it?"

"Oh nothing much, I mean, you should know. You are a mystic."

"Hmph! I will not tolerate this type of treatment. Especially from you! You don't deserve to be in the top 5. Top 55 yeah."

"Need I remind you that 55 is still better than you. You're ranked 45,768."

"What?! That's not right! There must be some sort of mistake!"

"I hope you know the headmistress solidifies your rank once you enter Starlight. The only way you can get higher is by defeating someone in a higher rank than you in a duel."

"Then... I'll duel you Shining Cobalt!"

"That's... not a smart idea."

"Why? Don't want to be bumped down lower? I saw your duel against the Commander of the Imperial Army. A little disappointing if you ask me. But that's to be expected from someone like you."

Rarity then jumped from her seat and confronted the young student, "How dare you talk about him like that as if you know him! You don't know single thing about this man, and yet you berate him simply because he's man?! I pity you in the future young lady!"

"Who do you think you are talking to me like that?! I should teach you a lesson after defending this poor excuse for a mystic!"

"Poor excuse! You don't know the extent of his power as a mystic!"

"Rarity, Lightning, calm yourselves."

"I do know. Everyone watched that duel between him and the commander. It was a poor sight to see. He was number 2 at the time, and that's all we got out of number 2."

"Who's to say he even tried! If he had cared about a silly duel, he would've destroyed this commander!"

"Enough out of both of you!" Cobalt broke the two apart, and forced both of them against the wall with such force, that it shook the building, "I will not permit any type of altercation in my classroom. Both of you, detention after school today."

"What!"

"No, that's final, unless you'd rather be suspended."

"Yes sir...," Both girls held their head down defeated as they both took a seat.

"Rarity, I'd like to talk to you after class."

"But..."

"No back talk. After class, got it?"

"Y-Yes... sir..."

"Alright, let's continue with class."

Rarity was surprised to see Cobalt take such authority towards her. It shocked her, and caused just a little bit of fear out of her. Even so, she could understand. He is the head of this classroom, and she did interrupt the class. So did Lightning, but she felt no remorse for what she did.

After class, Rarity went to see Cobalt as told to, "You wanted to see me Cobalt?"

"Rarity, I'm really disappointed in you."

"What?"

"I expect behavior like that out of Rainbow, but not you. You're suppose to keep your composure, but I guess that's hard when someone you love is being insulted right in front of you..."

"Cobalt..."

"Look, this better not happen again. Not from you, or the others. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir!"

"Good, dismissed."

She nodded and ran off to her friends who were waiting outside. Rainbow smirked at her, causing her to blush slightly, "What?"

"You got in trouble. You got in trouble," Rainbow said like a little kid teasing someone.

"Oh hush, I was just defending our beloved friend Cobalt."

"Midnight did say Cobalt could handle those situations with ease, so there was no reason for you to interfere," Twilight said as she looked at a textbook Cobalt handed out during class.

"Yes I know, but hearing that girl bad mouth Cobalt when she didn't know him on a personal level like us just... irritated me. Cobalt is a good man, and he's proven it."

"I agree with you Rarity," Sunset responded, which caused Rarity to smile, "But remember, Midnight said by the end of the year, his students grow to like him to the point of not wanting to leave his class. Give it some time Rarity. They'll come around."

"You're right. Maybe I was just overreacting."

"Yeah, come on."

Before Rarity could move, he hears Cobalt call out to her, "I forgot to say Rarity. Detention will be 2 hours. I'll tell you more when you get to detention."

"Alright..."

After she remembered about her detention, she sighed as she walked with her friends.

-Detention time-

Rarity arrived back at Cobalt's classroom late. She already sees Cobalt waiting outside his door with a look of disappointment, "You're late Rarity..."

"I'm sorry Cobalt darling. It's just this place is so huge and I got lost and..."

"Alright I get it. Just take your seat away from Lightning. All you have to do is stay quiet for 2 hours, and you'll be free to go," Both nodded as both sat quietly, "If any of you utter anything, I'll increase your time here by 30 minutes," Rarity nodded, and Lightning sighed in frustration.

As 90 minutes past, Lightning began to groan loudly, "Oh my goodness! This is such a waste of my time!"

"Extra 30 for you Lightning..."

"Oh whatever, it's not like you have any thing to do after this."

"Extra...," Cobalt stopped, and grew a wide smirk on his face.

"What?"

"You know what? Let's see if you can back up your words from earlier. If you really say you're such a great mystic, and can surpass my power, then let's have a duel. If you're up for it."

"But..."

"What? Are you all talk and no action? Quite disappointing if you ask me."

"No way! I accept your challenge! Tomorrow morning, after first bell!"

"Very well then. Only then will you know my true power."

"Cobalt, what are you doing?!"

"Hush Rarity, this was bound to happen," Rarity looked at the two, and she could see the flames in both of their eyes.

Lightning had a look of determination, and Cobalt had a smirk on his face. Who would win between these two? Is it obvious, or will the unexpected happen?
