"Hey, Cassian, how you doing man?" An answer was necessary, right? Was not answering him that rude? I just nodded and let him now I heard him, "man, is just crazy all that stuff of the disciplinary comittee, did you save me because of that? Or is just because you are a really strong guy?"

Even if he was also a black sheep, it was strange to see two people like us just chatting, and most of the students around were aware of it, cause the were staring at us, I could almost feel the hate leaking from their eyes. But there was another one who didn't act like the rest. He was Ray, the one big dude from the comittee. "Hey Cassian," he ran into us just like that, Jim seemed scared but I just shook my head to let him know it was okay. "Ray, this is Jim, he is a black sheep like me, and I thing he would be part of this class, Jim he is Ray, he is part of the comittee just like me."

Both of them seemed to get along really well very fast, even if Jim was a black sheep, Ray was the power kind of guy who don't judge a book jus by it's cover, but he was very noisy. 

"By the way Ray, what kind of magic do you use?" Even for a normal student that question could be looked with bad eyes, but Ray answered without hesitation. "I use lightning magic, that's why I am the strongest member of the comittee." Jim looked at me searching for confirmation, but I just rolled my eyes.

It was not common to see a lightining user in this kind of class, the big difference from using a magic fighting style than the magic to do it (I know it sounds redundant) is than with the first you develope magic skills that improve your strenght and speed, and also you can use range magic, but if you learn the second way is only for magic casters, you will be more a support or a final strike than the one that do the hard work. Both could work in the same way, but saying it in a few words, magic fighting exos worked more on spellls that could be use in a long time battle, because the would be at the front of the fight, and magic casters would use more powerful spells.

So seeing a lighting user who could be a mortal final attack or a great support using his magic to himself was not normal, and also using the lighting magic to "enhance" your body could be dangerous, because is very hard to control the lightings, even the fire is dangerous in this kind of style, so using the lightining was evidence of the hard work of Ray, maybe his declaration of being the strongest wasn't that far from the reality as I may think first, but I couldn't know it until we had the oportunity.

The other students stopped seeing us, maybe because of Raymond, or maybe they just get tired, I hoped it was the second one because if not, this would torn  more than a routine than I would like it to be. 

After a few minutes the teacher, who was a young woman appeared, she was using wind magic to fly, or to float, I couldn't know. "So you are the new pawns from this year, my name is Linda Marefort, you can call me miss Linda or teacher Linda, whatever you prefer." Most of the students seemed mad at her because she called us pawns, but that had an meaning. In chess, the pawn is the one that stands in the front, and never returns, that's why she called us like that, not beause she thought anyhing else, or at least that's how I like to think.

Just Ray and me seemed to notice the real meaning of her words, but nobody complained at it, after the presentations, she explained us the rules of the class and how she worked with the last year students, we would just fight between us and when she see anything wrong she would correct us, and also we would spend one day a week improving and developing new skills.

But it didn't stop there. "I heard we had two students from the comittee here, is that true?" Ray just laughed at it and took one step to the front, but for me the rest of the students just turned her heads to me, so I had nowhere to run, so I did as Ray. 

"You are the vicepresident right?" She asked me, I just nodded. "Well, I want to see your skills and see if both of you are worth of the position, and more for you, the black sheep that is the vicepresident."
