Octavian stepped up to a box and deposited his gladius, which was his only weapon. "Octavian Cassius Tiberius," he stated proudly, though it was a different name than he had given Siber. Afterwards, he stepped to a well fitting uniform, which he took and stepped back into line.

"Elysia Flameheart" Elysia stated, then she placed her Hand-and-a-half sword on the machine, then pulled a dagger out of her boot and placed it inside. She afterward walked up to a uniform she hoped would fit her, and stepped back into line.

"Nice," Leo declared, having dropped his own bags off inside already. "Want to get something to eat?" he asked the Joshua, throwing a thumb in the vague direction of the cafeteria.

Kaestan nodded at the rest of them, taking that as a yes to sit down. He sat beside another elf, across from a young woman with curled blonde hair. "And mine is Kaestan," he said, smiling at the table. "It's a pleasure."
Violet's eyes flicked to the two elves across from her before going back down to her tea, which she cupped with both hands.

"Riiiiight." Richard said as he approached the door leading to the store house and threw them open and walked inside revealing a large room full of shelves each holding various nut's and bolts and other mundane parts. "This room is open to the first years. The actual dangerous stuff is stored in another room down stairs in various containers to keep them from the first years." He said.
"Food sounds good." Mark said rubbing his belly after his stomach grumbled.

: Siber Antares, Androw Kavendish, Stefan Meszaros
Location

Finally, Siber stepped up to the conveyor belt and deposited the scabbard with his shortsword into a container. He felt a hint of sadness - after all, this was his first and only real weapon, he had truly called it his own, and he had slew many a thieving kobold to try and pillage his parents' farm. Still, he did not let this attachment to a material object show. The boy stepped back, growling, "Siber Antares," and like so many others before him, watched the container being sealed off and moved away.
Antares nodded to his thoughts and, after grabbing a bag with uniform, returned to take his place in the line.
After every student had given up their weapons, the conveyor belt quietly slid back into the wall; after the hatch closed, it was hard indeed to pinpoint its location, so masterfully it was worked into the wall.
"I have every confidence that while many among you are giddy with anticipation of learning to master the arcane arts, many more still wonder, why exactly have they been summoned to this academy," Stefan continued his lecture. "You have not sprouted a fountain of sparks, you have not accidentally levitated a piece of cutlery - the magic has been conspicuously absent from your life.
The truth is simple: only a half of your number shall study to become magi of war, with cold steel and ruinous power inside you working in accord to obliterate those that would stand in your path, flaying your enemies with a glance and reducing their minds to a wreck with a word."
He paused, letting the prospects sink into the youngsters' minds for several seconds, before carrying on with an unpleasant smirk, "The rest shall learn to overcome the destructive sorceries of the first half, and to crush their body and soul."
The taskmaster unsheathed his spear-staff and slammed its blade into the sand under his feet. A single quake shook the hall, and along the edge of the purple segment they all were standing on several statues rose out of the floor, all alike and evenly spaced. Each had the form of a human - or rather, if the size was any indicator, a vrykul, - arm, petrified through some mysterious magic, and in its hand a crystal orb as large as an dwarf's head was resting. The orbs were made of glass or some similar substance, and within, in a murky cloud of smoke, a wisp of light danced, emitting quiet, chiming music.
"Antares, Kavendish, step forth," Stefan commanded. The two boys obeyed the command, walking up to the orb near the instructor.
"You," the pallid taskmaster pointed at Androw, "Rest your hand on the orb. Carefully."
Androw gulped audibly, causing one of the freshly healed cuts on his neck to open, and slowly lowered his palm onto the crystal sphere. The wisp inside grew larger, and likewise the music coming from it became louder, carrying now unmistakable tones of joy and recognition. Androw allowed himself a happy little smile, which quickly gave way to a gasp as a ring materialized on his fourth finger; enameled with indigo blue and carrying a white sigil of a splayed hand, it bore more than a passing resemblance to the banner hanging in the right section of the Hall.
"A battle mage. I expected as much. This ring is a recognition of your talent, a key to your room and, last but not the least, your very own copy of the Overseer. Though the latter function only activates on the occasion you leave the Battle Magic territory - for instance, visiting the library or going out to Lyrasium on weekends. Do not attempt to remove it if you value your life. Do not worry about blood circulation in your finger - it will not be slightest bit disrupted."
Stefan took a pause to sneer at the cocktail of emotions on Androw's face, the most prominent being excitement and fear vying for dominance, then finished, "Gather your possessions and move under the blue banner over there."
"Sir, yes, s-sir," the Kavendish boy stuttered nervously, removing his hand from the orb and scurrying away. With mixed feeling, Siber watched him go until Stefan beckoned him forth.
"I trust you can deduce what to do, Antares," the instructor hissed. Siber took a deep breath and brought his hand down onto the orb. In sharp contrast to the previous encounter, the wisp inside shrunk to half its size, the music becoming distorted and cacophonous, as if in pain. Just as Siber by now expected, a red ring with a black fist appeared on his finger.
"A nascent spellbreaker. Equally unsurprising. Take your place under the banner," Stefan nodded.
"Sir," the boy saluted and hurried away.
"Now, I expect the rest of you to do the same," Stefan declared.

Elthalis steped forwards and walked to the crystal sphere in a slow and steady pace, the elf then placed per hand atop of the misty orb and a ring that was Lapis lazuli blue and carrying a white insignia of a splayed hand.
The elf feelt some relief at seing the ring on her right hand, she then showed the ring to the taskmaster unsure if he wanted to say something, it was best not to make any assumptions that the taskmaster wanted the process to go automaticaly.
"Sire." The elven lady said to Mr. Stefan Meszaros.

"Alright Kaestan, we'll get you your mouse eared hat short-ly. Now, have you tried this steak yet? It's delicious," Vera declared cheerily.
Arthur grimaced. His table, previously unoccupied, was gradually beginning to fill with possibly the rowdiest of the student body present. Pushing his oatmeal to the side in order to dodge yet another errant elbow, he finally growled low in his throat, a foul mood having settled on him leaving little patience for this. He picked up his oatmeal and grabbed his bag, dragging the latter away from the table to find somewhere more peaceful.
A mostly unoccupied and, more importantly, quiet table presented itself. Only a young ginger haired boy with a grey woolen cloak clearly too large for him was seated there. He seemed discreet, Arthur thought to himself, taking a seat opposite the boy and cracking his book open again.
"Hello," he greeted grimly.

Huanei, unable to decide on any particular food, had instead covered her plate in a little bit of everything and then some.
Sitting down at the table, the plate full of food nearly hid her behind it, the Draenei slowly taking a fork into the top and beginning to try the food.

"Someone is hungry." Eldoroth said amused over the sight of the Draenei and the mountain of food.
Then he looked over to Vera. "What about my hat?" The blood elf asked in a jokish manner.

"Proceed to the blue banner, Azuresong," Stefan said curtly, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder at the blue section of the Hall.
"Well, what are you lot waiting for? There are plenty orbs here for this to be over with quickly."

"Sir Yes Sir!" Elysia responded before walking up to one of the orbs and placing her hand on it, She watched as the orb, glow brighter and let out a low-pleased sound before a enameled ring formed around her left hand. It had a Open hand with a blue body and a white opened hand, "Sir my ring is Blue Sir. Sir does this mean I should go towards the Blue banner Sir?"

Stefan's face expression stated he thought he was surrounded by idiots clearer than some people could put it into words.
"Yes, Flameheart. You get a ring, you go under the banner with the corresponding color. Or you do not get a ring, which means that you do not have any talent and are here by mistake. In that case, wait on the purple section. Now, move," he hissed.

Kimberly Fraser
The Hall of Two Paths
Kim stepped forward towards the orbs and swallowed hard. Anxiety had begun to set in right after the taskmaster had explained the meaning of the two paths.
She had never sprouted a fountain of sparks nor accidentally levitated any utensils whatsoever. Did this mean she had to become an anti-mage?
She rested her hand hesitantly just above the wisp-sphere before her...she was ready for the decision to be made for her. But -- no. She had to ask.
"
Sir?
" she said quite loudly, looking attentively to the taskmaster.
