SU - Infirmary
Undeestanding that it was mostly a waste of air, the wolf sighed "You know, with that attitude you have, you won't get many friends and gain a lot of hate" she pointed out relaxing on where she was "It would be better to try to adapt to the situation instead of staying so squared"

Orientation | Trinity Soul University
As reluctant as she was, Trista took off and made her way towards her original spot near Orientation. Unbeknownst to the girl was that, as scary as it was to depart from her only friend and her roommate, something even scarier would have awaited her had she stayed with Seki the whole time. Fate worked in strange ways and yet Trista's fate was more fortunate than she could actually imagine. And yet for young Trista, such grand concepts of fate were not the sort of things her innocent mind to dwell on. Instead, her mind was poised on that of attending the Orientation. And to do that, Trista would have to hold out as much as she could without her vampire of a friend by her side. Something that the girl was in no way comfortable with.
((Fast forward to the present))
By the time Trista made her way back to her spot, a loud booming voice echoed across the immediate vicinity. A voice that Trista recognised nonetheless. The Headmaster. And from the sound of things, the missing staff members had finally made their way to the stage after all. This meant but one thing. Orientation had now begun.
Trista focused her attention towards that of the Headmaster, letting no word of his go ignored. It was strange and not really common for Trista. Trista had a rather unusual attention span. There were times at which Trista will focus all her attention on whatever is considered her top priority, and yet there were times in which the girl would have minimal focus and attention. As if lost in dream or her mind had ascended to another realm. Interestingly enough, whenever Trista is calm, the latter is most common and not the former. Needless to say, in this situation, her attention span was more like that of an owl rather than that of a goldfish.
In time, the Orientation ended and the crowd surrounding the stage quickly began to disperse. But instead of leaving with the crowd, Trista remained still, lost in thought over what the Headmaster just discussed. While most things were made clear, there were but a few things that left the girl stumped. For example, the timing of classes. Trista was perfectly aware of night classes but the Headmaster only mentioned dark magic classes. While Trista's magic was not necessarily dark, Trista couldn't help but notice that amongst the elements taught at night, hers was not amongst them. Was it that perhaps the Headmaster forgot or was there something more to it? Whatever the case may have been, the only way she was going to find out was by asking the Headmaster upfront. And that was exactly what she had planned to do all along.
But there was a problem. Seki was nowhere to be found. In all the time that the Orientation happened, Trista's roommate was nowhere to be seen. Not a trace. Not a sound. This was not good. Trista had arranged for the duo to meet with the Headmaster together. But with Seki nowhere to be found, Trista couldn't simply go without her. Especially if Trista was going to present herself and her magic to both her roommate and her superiors. Sure, Seki could always wait and just find out later. But Trista was not the kind of girl to simply go against her word. She planned to show her magic and get all of the major stuff out of the way as soon as possible. If Seki despised her magic, better to know now than later. As harmful as it may be.
Eventually, Trista came to the simple conclusion that Seki would simply catch up. Seki knew what Trista was going to and Seki knew where to find her. There was no way Seki could possibly miss Trista. Right? While Trista came down to the most logical conclusion, it still made her uncertain. What if Seki doesn't catch up? What if she didn't care after all? This made Trista very comfortable. Whatever underlying thoughts of insecurity and paranoid laid within Trista's mind began to resurface once more and it was taking its toll on her. But if Trista wished to get some answers around here, she would just have to try. Try to continue on alone, paranoid, and afraid.
With what little willpower she had, Trista began to make her slow and hesitant walk towards the stage and towards the Headmaster. Scared as she was, it was something that she needed to do. And that alone was the sole driving force for her walk. The necessity of speaking to the Headmaster.
(Hooray for another textbook TRXD overpost. Seriously guys, this is what happens when you don't help me get unstuck. This wall of text happens. Then again, I can just make walls of text for sh*t and giggles.)

"That's it?" Amos was furious, as evident by his enraged leaping up and down, catching the eyes of many a new students. "Just a speech? Where's the Twin Wyverns? Or the Leprechauns? Don't tell me you took out the Veela performance, Daichi!"
"Father, please!" Verrena had to break a sweat trying to calm her skeletal father down. "It's been 50 years, maybe their contract ended-"
While Verrena tried to alleviate her father's wrath, Lynne scanned her surroundings, trying to locate Cecilia. Where could she be, she thought as she slipped between the students to find her roommate. Oh how worried she must be, alone in the crowd.
Underground Library
"There's definitely some oddity today." Elkana analyzed as she paced back and forth the island where she spent most of her time studying and experimenting: the largest isle in the center of the first floor of the Underground Library with a tree so large one could not see its' peak. She tried to think about what could've been an extreme disaster, but other than miscalculation of energy distribution in the reactor, there was no way the machine would've acted that way. There were no other life form with enough intelligence to even think of fiddling with an arcane device like that...
"Unless..." Elkana suddenly stopped pacing, a trace idea crossing her mind, and bolted off.
Elkana had to sprint for a good 10 minutes to arrive at her destination: an odd temple inside a frigid cavern Elkana once stumbled upon while expediting one of the floors of the Underground Library. She never entered it, only reminding herself to take a look inside one day and explore what was inside. Something compelled her to explore the cavern today: an instinctive feeling that she could receive an answer to the question.
The temperature inside the cavern was easily freezing. The chilling wind that flowed through the vast space within assaulted Elkana's bare, sweaty skin and the snowy, frozen ground numbed her exposed feet. She tried to warm herself up, but for some reason her magic did not work: none of it worked. Alarmed, but not entire phased, she advanced, step by step, up a staircase towards what looked like an altar of sorts. The altar, made of stone, had a triangular, carved tombstone of sorts, and in front of it laid a book, closed with leathery hardcover.
Elkana picked up the book with her shivering hands: half expecting a trap of sorts. Nothing happened.
"This is eerie." Elkana sighed and opened the book to a random page. There were no text on the book; just pictograph depicting a string of random events: it almost looked like a diary of sorts, except each page depicted a lot longer of a time than a single day. Elkana located that the Pyramids, the Notre Dame, and the Sydney Opera house was drawn in the book and deduced that this diary was first written a long time ago, but Elkana wasn't sure until she turned to the front page.
"Belhedev..." Elkana's eyes widened in recognition of the name. "The legendary being behind the origin of all magic... believed to have lived ever since the dawn of time... why is his name written on this book?"
"That's it?" Amos was furious, as evident by his enraged leaping up and down, catching the eyes of many a new students. "Just a speech? Where's the Twin Wyverns? Or the Leprechauns? Don't tell me you took out the Veela performance, Daichi!"

Orientation | Trinity Soul University
As Orientation finished and all the students had mixed feelings regarding the rather simple speech. The feelings ranging from relief due to how short it was, to... annoyance at how short and quick it was. After all a simple speech from the staff of the renowned University of Magic that is TSU, well... that's kind of underwhelming. Either way as the Headmaster was busy talking with the other staff members and some passing by students, he saw a young, shy girl with blonde hair approaching him. As she slowly approached the stage, the Headmaster began to turn his attention to her as indicated by his occasional curious glances in her direction.
__________
Meanwhile off in the back where the lamia Zoe, and seal mage Sonya was, an already familiar voice spoke up right behind Sonya as Cale quickly poked his head right in-between Sonya and Zoe. "That was a pretty damn boring and disappoint speech now wasn't it?" Cale spoke with a rather cocky grin as he, without asking or warning, sat down right there next to Sonya and Zoe.
Underground Library
As Elkana observed the mysterious leather book filled with strange pictures, symbols, and various other things, a... mysterious and sudden voice spoke up behind her.
"So... you've finally found that old thing... I would say that it... is about time, but it's no surprising me..." Spoke the mysterious being.
The moment Elkana would turn around, she would be face to... face with her new company. An odd looking man... thing that stood at 6ft exact, but due to his hunched over posture, appeared to be quite shorter. His clothes were old and tattered, and appeared to be quite ancient. His hands seemed to only possess three normal fingers, and one thumb as well. In one hand the stranger held an old and weathered wooden cane, however in the other hand was... a book. A rather new one as well. In face it looked to be almost in mint-condition and was filled with at least a thousand pages in between the covers. However one other striking thing about the book was that it... didn't have any name or any markings at all on the cover.
Though all that wasn't what was the most striking thing about this strange being. For where his face would be under his hood, was what seemed to be a small cloud of swirling sand where his face... and even his head would be. This flowing cloud of sand in within his hood even seemed to blink with each word he spoke.
"So... why would such a young female come into this... location...?" Spoke the man in a voice that was calm, quiet, filled with a sort of... strange vibe, but most importantly his voice had a rather neutral tone.

Orientation - TSU
As the speech the Headmaster gave came to a close, Jason turned over to the boy, who was now walking away after saying that he was getting his key. As Jason watched the boy leave, he quietly went over what the Headmaster had said in his head. There was much useful information in what was said, the most relevant information to Jason being the general layout of the campus and the daily schedule. Of course, when the Headmaster spoke about the teachers and classes, Jason couldn't help but wonder if they even had a teacher suited for teaching telekinesis. Jason doubted it, and to be honest, the idea of using his magic was... unsettling to him. The last time Jason used his telekinesis, he killed someone. Was that truly a magic ability that should be fostered? What if it happened again?
Jason lightly frowned at the thought of him either harming himself or others with his magic, but he knew that if he wanted to satisfy the terms the judge had laid forth during his sentencing, he would have to take this first step. With that and the thought of avoiding the two girls in his general vicinity in mind, Jason began to walk towards the stage.
As Jason walked towards the stage, he noticed a short, blond girl nervously walking towards the stage and Headmaster. It was a somewhat unusual sight to watch, with the girl barely looking like she would be able to ascend the stairs to reach Headmaster Daichi. In fact, it looked almost as if the girl was so nervous and scared that she would collapse onto the ground from the sheer anxiety she was unintentionally exhibiting. Taking this into account, Jason decided that the best course of action would be to avoid the girl, to stay behind the girl at a relatively good distance until she reached the stage. From there, he would reach the stage as she talked to Headmaster Daichi, removing her attention from her surroundings and once she finished speaking to him, Jason thought that the girl would want to get off the stage as soon as possible and away from the large crowd, not paying him much mind as she escaped. After all, the last thing Jason wanted was to cause the girl more distress and cause a scene.
Meanwhile as people began to leave, one figure stood silent, contemplating what the Headmaster said with a tilt of his head, crossed arms, and a thoughtful expression on his face.
(Hmm. Looks like I'm going to have to get used to being nocturnal.), Tristan thought to himself as he uncrossed his arms.

Underground Library
Belhedev... Elkana could hardly believe her eyes. The one who casted the first magic spell, the Origin of all magic, was standing in front of her in physical form. She could feel its' overwhelming arcane energy with every cell; it was almost too much to bear.
"The one who should be asking that question... is I." Elkana uttered. "How do you know of this place? I thought the Underground Library was only known above-ground by the Daichis..."

((Posting for Underground Library as it shouldn't conflict too much with S1's post, but after this post I and hopefully Wriggle will wait for him to finish his post.))
((Also expect my NPC app for Belhedev soon, to be added with some modifications to hide certain things until the time is right.))
Underground Library
The man seemed to... chuckle a bit as he slowly walked up to Elkana, but stopped as he could almost feel Elkana's body tense up under his own magical power. With a sigh, the ancient being known as Belhedev spoke.
"Well not just the Daichi's are aware of the Library. Many strong and renowned people across the globe are aware of this place. The other masters of magic at the place of learning that exists above ground know of it, along with many others... both pure... and tainted. This place has simply been safe-guarded all too well over the centuries that this place has existed... As for myself? Well now... I'm simply here to supply this vast place of magical tomes and scrolls with a new entry. I have been on a journey all over this realm, and even realm's past our own. Doing research everywhere I go. I may have created magic, but that does not mean that I know everything there is regarding it. Well I know everyone there WAS regarding magic, but as you know. With the passing of the sands of time... humanity... technology... and magic progress. So I have taken it upon myself to write everything I come across. Observe everything I come across..."

Observing everything... that must be why the diary she was holding had recordings of various architectural wonders from various time periods. Elkana has only heard legends of how Belhedev has been walking on land since the dawn of civilization; seems like that speculation was true.
Belhedev's sudden advance towards her forced Elkana to step away until she was cornered against the triangular tombstone. She dared to stare into Belhedev's visage to glimpse the answer of every question in the magical realm... no... answer to everything about the universe itself, hidden in the swirling sands within. The sight was as brief as a microsecond or two, but it was enough to nearly break Elkana's vast yet limited mind. Her pupils dilated and shot upwards, her breathing grew faster and faster as if she was hyperventilating, and her heart palpitated out of control: all caused by sudden expansion of her mind.
"I suspect... this is yours as well?" Elkana caught her mind from wandering adrift and held up the leather-covered book she was holding, paying attention not to stare into Belhedev's cloaked visage again. Even opening her mouth trying to speak was an effortful task, since her heart was still racing murderously: it almost felt like an invisible hand has grasped her heart, able to crush it with little effort. Cold sweat emanated and coursed through her entire body, giving it a sleek complexion reflected by the dim light from the sparse lighting sources. The internal body temperature skyrocketed, giving Elkana the feeling of being burned from the inside. Elkana had to grit her teeth and bear through what could arguably be the most physically and mentally stressful event in Elkana's life. "Not just this... but the entire Underground Library... you are its' creator... aren't I right?"

"Yes. That tome is mine. I created it as I have explored most of the locations on this Earth that could hold some interesting properties in the future. However it is just one of many. There are far more scrolls and tomes within this labyrinth of knowledge... but you already know that. For I have seen you on occasion within the last few decades since I have been here. I'm surprised you haven't noticed me all those times. Those many times in which I have even spoken to you personally... I suppose it is because of my power. For people who tend to view me tend to also forget... most because of a little spell I cast. You see everytime I have encountered you, I used an ancient, yet helpful spell that erases your memories of my being. That includes everything you have learned after gazing upon my visage." Replied Belhedov as he held out the nameless book in his hand for Elkana to grab.
"Now as for this library... I cannot release such information. For I just supply this library. There is a scroll far older than the book you have in your hands, and that holds the answers to this Library. However you will have to find it on your own... Anyways, I'd like you to take this book I have in my hand. I ask of you to... come up with a name for it. It's from a realm that exists beyond this earthly realm. Be warned though, for the markings in that book are written in a language never recorded by anyone in this dimension."
"Yes. That tome is mine. I created it as I have explored most of the locations on this Earth that could hold some interesting properties in the future. However it is just one of many. There are far more scrolls and tomes within this labyrinth of knowledge... but you already know that. For I have seen you on occasion within the last few decades since I have been here.

Underground Library
Erase her memory...? No wonder Elkana felt a bit hazy and light-headed once in a while. She normally deduced it to be exhaustion and went to sleep, but now that she knew the true reason of her symptoms, Elkana felt a bit... betrayed, as if she was being punished for treading where she shouldn't be.
Elkana hesitantly reached out for the book Belhedev offered her and held it with the other hand. The tome felt oddly comfortable; as if it was written and made just for her. It was a bit heavy, but light enough for Elkana to hold it comfortably in one hand. The leather cover were sleek and smooth to the touch, with no marred or otherwise damaged surface. Elkana flipped through the book to find that it was indeed filled with unknown symbols, pictographs, and charts. The question now was, why?
"Why do you want me to nomenclate this book?" Elkana asked in fervent curiosity. The more answers she received from Belhedev, the more questions arose in her mind.
