Klonis Academy - A prestigious academy that trains "Magiknights" students that have an aptitude with spirit weapons and magical control, but cannot harness or bring forward their magic. They also train "Witches" which are students with a higher aptitude for magic and can actually call forth this mystic force as well as use spirit weapons. The academy is located on an artificial academy town named Trinas Academy Town. It is run by the Japanese government and overseen by the best magiknight and witches in the nation. Acceptance into Klonis is extremely hard, but once accepted the students are asked to move into the academy town and reside there until graduation where they can choose to leave the island or stay and work on it with the school. However, there is a dark side to this academy and this town. Once a student is accepted and placed in one of the classes, they are then collared by the head master. Once the student is collared they must make their end goal known to the headmaster and that is a goal they are to reach. Students may not leave the town while they are collared and the only way to remove the collar is one of three ways. 1.) Achieve the goal you told the headmaster upon acceptance. 2.) Graduate from the academy at the highest percentile. 3.) Death. Those that do not meet the requirements are forced to wear the collar and live within the town until they die. Nobody but the town knows about this however, not even the mainland. Once students are accepted into the academy and are collared they are then taken to catch their spirit to forge a pact with. The spirit they do this with will stay with them until they die, the spirit dies, or the pact is mutually broken. The spirits dwell just on the outskirts of the town, behind the academy in a place called the "Lost Spirit Forest" and one needs special permission to enter such a place as well as an escort as there are some really dangerous beasts in there.
With a quiet sigh he made his way through the front gate, head lowered so nobody could look at him or talk to him. He weaved his way through the crowd of new students as well as the upperclassmen as he made his way towards the welcoming area for new students. He did not want to bump into anybody or talk to anybody that was not necessary. He scanned his student ID at the door as a click echoed and a door slid open. The male slid past the door into the classroom and quickly took a seat in the back where nobody could disturb him as he looked out the window into the city. He let out another sigh. 'I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't be here. I should've stayed home and just been a regular student.' He thought to himself as he watched the other students pile in. He was well built and muscular despite not looking it and was really good with a sword as well as martial arts, but Ren was never much of a fighter. He always tried his best to stay out of sight and just be alone, however, that also did mean he was easily manipulated into doing the jobs others didn't want to do, like cleaning duties. He didn't care though, since people would leave him alone and he enjoyed being alone for the most part.
He looked away from the window and looked around the classroom, only counting 6 people including himself in this classroom at the current moment, so he knew as the time for the meeting grew closer the classroom would grow more pact and that made him anxious.

Ruyi hummed softly under her breath as she walked through the gates, letting out a giggle as students who recognized her appearance gave her a wide berth. Wrapped around her torso was an intimidating black snake that began to slither half its body around her neck as they walked, making girls squeal and turn away in fear. She liked it like that, if people were afraid of her, then they wouldn't bother her. She was in her second year at the academy and generally knew her way around pretty well. She scanned her ID at the door and walked in, pulling a piece of paper out of her skirt pocket. She read the paper as she went up the stairs and into her classroom. Looking around, it seemed like most in her class were newcomers, which she didn't mind. Secretly, the white haired girl hoped that one or two might be genuine and she could be friends with them but she doubted it, it didn't happen last year or any other year she was in normal school.
Ruyi walked to the back of the classroom, sitting in the seat in front of a boy who had taken the back corner seat. She propped her legs up onto the desk and leaned back, looking at the boy upside down. "You new here?" She asked, feeling the snake around her body begin to slither up her head and try to burrow into her long hair.

"Y-Yeah." He said as he stuttered his words out. He was shocked someone was talking to him, which he didn't really like. He quickly looked at the female, then the snake, smiling at the animal, and then looked out the window, wanting to not partake in the conversation anymore. He watched as students scattered now to find their classroom as the bell rang. He let out a deep sigh and sunk in his chair trying to hide himself the best he could so that the people that came in ignored him.

She puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, noticing how his eyes lingered on the snake around her. She jumped slightly in her seat as the bell rung and more students began to flow in. Her own heart began to race uncomfortably and she tried to push her anxiety down where nobody could see it. Kids preyed on that kind of weakness. "You wanna hold her?" She asked, gently grabbing the snake about a foot down from it's head, trying to untangle the reptile from her snowy hair, growling softly as it fought against her half-heartily until she was free and in a position to be handed over if the male responded in the affirmative.

"N-No thank you." He responded to her quickly yet quietly. He reached into his uniform jacket pocket and pulled out a pair of earbuds. he slid them in his ear and then continued to look out the window. No music was playing from them, but he'd learned that if he had headphones in, even if he could hear everything, everybody assumed he couldn't hear them so they wouldn't talk to him. Also, unlike every other student who had their spirit weapon out in either its weapon form or spirit form, he didn't have either, so everybody also assumed he had no spirit weapon pact made yet. It wasn't true of course, he had one of the strongest spirits that resided in the woods, Lantus, the alpha of the shadow wolf pack and notoriously known as The Shadow's Fang. Lantus was a spirit that was said to be unable to be tamed, since it looked for someone with the same ferocious spirit and fighting abilities as he had, which he never deemed anybody worthy until Ren came along. Ren does talk to Lantus, especially when he has earbuds in, but they both agreed to keep Lantus' taming under wraps because it would cause a scene in both the forest and in the academy.
Ren began to whisper to himself, speaking with Lantus, having a full conversation with the shadow wolf companion he possessed. This went on for the entirety of class until the bell rung calling for the end of the period and moving things forward to the free time, where students could do as they pleased for a few hours. The academy truly was lenient about how they taught, only really teaching the necessities as well as combat training, but gave the students a lot of free time. As the bell rang, Ren stood up from his desk and was one of the first ones out of the classroom as he headed towards the library, the one place he knew would be quiet and have a dark corner where he could let Lantus out and allow him to rest outside of his shadow.

"Perhaps he doesn't like snakes after all, sorry girl." Ruyi sighed and shrugged her shoulders, releasing her grip on the reptile in her possession, allowing the naughty thing to tangle in her hair once more. Aki, also known as the Serpent's Embrace, was a well known spirit weapon for being rambunctious, naughty, and very near impossible to tame. Many had tried before her and all had been denied until she had come along, the spirit looking for a human that could match it's energy through and through and bring it around for mischief and mayhem. The girl could feel eyes turning to her as she spoke aloud to Aki, feeling them burning judging holes into her skin but she refused to acknowledge it. Most spoke quietly or in private with their spirits, she however saw no such need to do so. She wasn't ashamed of her spirit, it was one of the strongest in the forest alongside spirits like the great Lantus.
Ruyi continued to hold conversation with Aki throughout the class, glaring up at her teacher every time he looked over at her, him responding by simply ignoring her. The white haired female was about to speak to the boy once the bell rang however he was gone in a heartbeat, disappearing into the crowd before she could get a word out. Letting out another sigh, she too stood when most of the class had cleared out, leaving the classroom herself and taking the stairs all the way to the rooftop. She climbed up on top of the large electrical transformer and laid down on the warm metal, giving a little wiggle of her body as Aki adjusted to more lay on her stomach to take a nap.

The great wolf appeared from the shadows behind Ren, walking out into sight as he laid down besides the male who was reading a book. You know, you should have answered her request honestly instead of just saying no. You'll give people the wrong idea. "I know, but there were too many people around and I'd rather not let people think that I want to make friends. I'm here to achieve a goal, not to make friends." If you don't make friends, you may not be able to achieve your goals. You're strong, I'll give you that, stronger than most people in this academy, but you need someone to keep that darkness in check and someone to keep your power under control. I am here to assists, but there is not much I can do. "I'm aware Lantus, but how can I make friends with someone who can't even match my strength." He then looked at the wolf and began to pet him while continuing to read. After about 45 minutes, he put the book back and stood up, heading out of the library and making his way to the roof where he could once more, be alone with his wolf, or so he thought.
As he opened the door to the rooftop and walked out, allowing Lantus to show himself, he looked over to the transformer and noticed the female who was asleep. He let out a sigh and walked to the opposite end of the rooftop and sat by a wall in the shade, allowing the wolf to sprawl out in the sun, becoming more corporeal and real than just a shade when they were hiding. Lantus laid out on the ground, his head still facing towards Ren as his laid laid flat besides him. You're okay with the chance of her waking up and seeing me? "I can play it off as it being one of the members of your pack and not actually you."Good luck with that one Ren. You can barely speak to anybody besides me, so we'll see how well you lie to a stranger. "Worse comes to worse we just kill her." A chuckle escaped the wolf who was laying down in the sun. Ren pulled out a book from his pocket and began to read it while listening to music in his earbuds, which he only had one inserted at this time.

Ruyi drifted in and out of consciousness, vaguely hearing the noises of movement around her, but seeing as how Aki hadn't reacted thus far, she assumed it was fine. It was only when the sun started to glare directly at her face that she finally woke up, blinking bleary eyes to the side as she identified the source of the noise she had heard as the boy from before and a massive wolf beside him. Her breath hitched in her throat and her eyes widened in shock, then excitement. If she had had a tail it would've been wagging as she sat up, rubbing her eyes as she got up swiftly, standing on top of the warm metal box she had taken a half nap on.
"Holy fuck! Is that actually Lantus?!" She squealed, jumping off the transformer as Aki let out a startled shock at being disturbed from her sleep. The teen let out a shocked gasp of pain as she felt fangs bite into her arm. "OW! I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you!" She yelped, trotting over to Ren and the wolf spirit as she tried to pry the snake's fangs out of her arm. Ruyi let out a sigh of relief as Aki released her death grip on her pale arm, slithering with annoyance back around her torso and neck with it's head resting on her shoulder. "Whoa...he's WAY bigger than I expected! Like I figured he'd be big but DAMN he is a whole fucking unit!"

"What do you mean? This isn't Lantus, does it look like I could tame him? This is one of the pack members." He said as he waved his hand, the wolf standing up and walking over to the sitting male and laying back down besides him, head on lap. "I don't have what it takes to tame one of the few royal spirits in that forest, even if I did, I doubt Lantus would accept me. I'm too weak." He said as he pet the wolf that laid besides him. He not once looked up from his book, nor paused his music as he spoke to the female before him.

Ruyi narrowed her eyes, dropping to her knees a couple of feet from Ren. She didn't have any reason to not believe him, but something still seemed off. The spirit around her body seemed to agree as she felt Aki buzzing her tail against her ribs. "Looks can be deceiving...everyone knows that." She said, splaying her feet out to either side of her as she ran her hand along a section of the black mamba's body in a bid to quell the creature's distress. "But I'll pretend to buy it for now...everything comes out eventually." She continued with a shrug, reaching a hand out to pet the wolf's side, her backside wiggling in excitement as she felt the massive beast beneath her small hand. Even if it was true and it wasn't actually Lantus, the wolf was still a formidable creature that just begged to be messed with.
"I never did get your name, we're gonna be in the same class so I may as well. Plus you're kinda cute.~" She chirped with a sickly sweet smile, practically feeling Aki chuckle against her body.

"Ren, Ren Nikolai." He said as he actually looked up from his book, glancing at her briefly before looking back down. Don't believe what he's saying dear, you're right about who it..... The wolf's speech was cut off as Ren forced the creature inside his shadow, giving off a much more menacing and evil look in the direction of the wolf. "Pardon him, what's your name?" He asked the female as he turned the pages in his book. It seemed he was comfortable talking as long as he didn't have to make eye contact, plus, he felt he could be more himself when others were not around. He seemed shy, but there was a secret Ren hid from everybody.

Ruyi snickered as the wolf began to speak but was cut off as he was dragged back into Ren's shadow. She wondered if that was a common thing for spirits to be this mischievous or if the pair of them had just gotten the oddballs of the lot. "Very much so a pleasure to meet you Ren.~" She said with a giggle, bowing playfully before straightening again and flicking her hair over her shoulder so it wouldn't tickle Aki. "I'm Ruyi Akigawa." She responded, feeling every fiber of her being cringe at the name. It was the name her father had chosen before and had it legally changed, she didn't actually know the name her mother gave her at birth.

"Yeah, nice to meet you." He said as he closed his book and got up, stretching as his back cracked audibly. He then looked at the female and walked past her, getting a bit of speed as he jumped up on the smaller roof that covered the door. He then walked past it and dropped down to the other side, essentially disappearing from the female's sight and making sure he had wiped his presence from the snake so he couldn't be tracked. He didn't actually go anywhere, he just wanted to be alone once more as he sat back down and began to read again, listening to his music. 'You're a halfwit Lantus' he said very quietly to himself so that only the wolf could hear him. and you're lying to yourself more than you are lying to her.

Ruyi puffed her cheeks out again as the other got up and jumped away, watching him go as she leaned back to lay on the ground with her hair fanning out underneath her. She felt the serpent around her slither to her chest, raising itself enough to look her head on, emerald green eyes locking with her own ruby red hues. "You are wholeheartedly fucked. Even your cheeks are red." Aki spoke, white forked tongue flicking out of her mouth as she stared down her tamer. The female in response huffed and bonked the snake on it's head, rolling her eyes at it's despondent hiss. "Yeah yeah, say it louder why don't 'cha." She grumbled, her hands covering her eyes. This was the first time in years she had actually tried to make friends with someone and of course it blew up in her face. Why did she even try anymore?
Sighing, the girl pulled herself onto her feet, curiously walking around to where she had last seen Ren before he jumped off, not seeing him. Casting eyes down in disappointment, she stuffed her hands in the pockets of her hoodie and jumped off the roof, landing on a small jutting of wall and walking along it. She had no intentions of going back in now.

After a few hours the bell rung. The most dreaded period for Ren, combat practice. He didn't like it because since he was keeping Lantus a secret he could not use his spirit weapon, so he always had to use a practice sword and, well, when you head the skill that he had, it wasn't fun swinging a wooden sword around. He stood up from where he was as he walked around the building and saw the female, winking at her with a mischievous smile on his face as he walked inside the building and headed to the locker room. He changed into his training clothes, which consisted of a black spandex shirt and matching spandex shorts with his usual boots. He grabbed one of the wooden training swords and walked to the corner of the stadium, swinging the sword against some practice dummies, avoiding confrontation.
