Power driven

On the third day, all the students were asked to assemble in the back grounds of the castle.

Aria walked out of the castle with Helen, and all eyes turned towards them, partially due to the beauty of the two girls, but mostly because Aria was, to everyone's surprise, wearing a shirt and pants.

Aria looked exceptionally dashing in the white shirt and dark blue pants, wearing black shoes and hair in a high ponytail. She led Helen who wore an icy blue dress, hair in a tight plaid.

The two reached the place where the students were assembled, Helen completely oblivious to the stares, and Aria pretending to be.

They had waited for a few minutes when Aria saw Professor Iris coming towards them.

She and an other professor were following an old man.

The three adults came and stood in front of the group of students. The old man with silver hair and dark blue eyes spoke, "Good morning all. Welcome dear students, I'm Professor Thomas. The older students know why they are here, but the new ones must be wondering. But I'm going to save my breath and let Professor Iris explain to you all."

Professor Iris let out a light cough as she said, "As you might have all noticed by now. The castle consists of four towers. In the south tower, the teachers reside. And the north, east and west towers are allocated to the students."

The other professor, a woman with a head of bushy black hair and dark brown skin spoke, "And we're here today to assign you all your permanent rooms." Professor Iris seemed slightly annoyed at being disturbed, but did not say anything.

The woman continued, "I'm professor Moon. All the students here will have to fight either me, Iris, or the headmaster here. Based on your skills and talent, you will be alloted rooms. Any questions?" She asked, looking around.

A rather small looking girl in the ocean blue short dress and a bob haircut raised her hand.

Professor Iris pointed to her. The girl said, "Will these have any serious effect on what we will be learning."

Professor Iris: "Of course. You will be choosing one of us to fight based on whether you want to specialise in precision, destructive power, or both. This will highly impact what you are learning here and your schedule."

The headmaster clapped his hands and said, "Now then. Those who wish to specialise in precision, form a line in front of Professor Iris. Those who wish to specialise in destructive power, form a line in front of Professor Moon. And those who wish to study both, form a line in front of me. And I must advice you all to give your best, because the best rooms are really good."

"Wow. The water kingdom is really methodically power driven. Even rooms are allotted on the basis of your power." Aria thought.

Her chain of thoughts was broken by Joseph Scott, who, standing only a few steps away with his gang, said, "Yeah they are. And we all know who the best one belongs to." His group of friends laughed as Aria said, "What an arrogant boy."

Helen seemed like she wanted to say something, she opened her mouth, but closed it.

Aria asked, "What?"

Helen: "Never mind. Let's join the lines."

Aria noticed that the students were already forming into lines in front of the three professors.
