Archimedes eyes opened wide as the hall was consumed in darkness, and with the last light of being flushed out one could see a smile crawl onto his face. This was the kind of stuff he lived for.

When everything came to he was inside with Battler and the rest of the family where Leo's own self piece made his first appearance before everyone in the dining hall. His actions were of course curious given the situation. Apparently there was a person in this room that explained to him why he should have appeared at all in the first place. The person X...

Archimedes looked at the glasses of water on a tray he still had in his hand and quickly placed them on a nearby stand and then came to wonder if maybe it was Archimedes himself they were talking about, he was the only one after all that had "masked" his presence from others by "hiding" outside the door and eavesdropping in the beginning. He, the furniture unfit to bear the one winged eagle's crest...was he being branded as a traitor? But what if it wasn't? Then he'd just look like a fool trying to ask for attention. In the end Archimedes would merely stay where he was, not quite ready to start investigating until he understood exactly what context of situation he was in.

So every character is just in a separate room?

Archimedes looked up to his opponent, his face scrunched together with anger from having lost to which Archimedes would blankly reply

"You fought well, but do you mind if I keep this pistol? You seem far more advanced with the halberd, and I am without a weapon."

The boy seemed flustered about the idea but knowing the means of how he had got such a pistol, he realized it was probably best to ditch such hot evidence anyway. As Archimedes turned to leave he would add in

"I am glad you came at me the way you did...Now I'll have an eye for all the tricks a witch is capable of."

It wouldn't be until Archimedes left that it registered in the boy's head that he had insulted him.

Standing outside the school Archimedes wondered what to do next, this was supposed to be the part where he went home, but where was home? He had only just awoken to find that he was going this school. Slowly he pieced together a game plan...

(For now, yes)

Hearing orders Archimedes would step into the hall where the speculative conversation expanded into furious rantings. This was his first year here and he was still a little shaky on everyone's names so he would mostly follow behind Adam to ensure that the orders would be fulfilled and stay out of the way, trying to put faces to names as he did so.

Now relocated to the guest room Archimedes stood offered quietly once everyone was situated

"Pardon the intrusion but would either of you like anything to snack on? Or drink?"

Though in reality his mind was swamped with thoughts over what had happened in the room over, with the gold and that strange boy who read off a letter to the guests, he still had to remember his place as furniture here, especially because of how inexperienced he was.

My apologies for taking so long, expect a post in the very near future (tonight or tomorrow)

Archimedes crossed his arms and observed as all the fights around him unfolded. Taking note on how easy it would be for any of these people to get carried away in their conflict and kill the other opponent, as well as noting the prowess of the individual students, Shiki seemed to stand out the most once again proving that he had the bite to back up his bark but Sibella was even stronger having one her first fight with just a few moves.

With Richard and Bethany beginning their fights as well, Archimedes had a pretty basic idea on how these fights worked and would decide to gauge his skill in this fragment off of a fledgling like himself before trying his luck at one of the bigger dogs. He chose another boy roughly his age armed with a halberd and frightening personality to match.

"Do you approve of this, Dlanor-sensei? Will-sensei?"

His head turned to view the boy yelling back at him, this one had proven early on that he was a loud-mouth, but unlike most dogs at least what he said was logical. He was absolutely correct in his concern of not knowing the name of a person he was supposed to be working with and it had been an idea that Archimedes hadn't thought of himself. Shiki must have already been well on his way to becoming the next Wright, perhaps Archimedes would learn here how to think from all angles like Shiki could.

After a sigh, he looked forward to the front and spoke in a tone that was proper for conversation but not for announcing:

"My name is Archimedes...And that's all I remember. I'll become a witch hunter because fate has put me here. That's all."

Archimedes could only watch in wonder as the characters that would seen introduce themselves to being Archimedes new teacher file in one at a time. Of course Archimedes had heard these names before but never had he been able to put a face to such names. Willard Wright held a very wise and piercing expression standing before the class, but yet at the same time, there was a level of humanity in him that one did not see from Dlanor, who's lemon shaded eyes could peer into the vast darkness of any abyss and come out the other side perfectly fine. And Lion, whom introduced her-him- themself to the class as Will's partner only made the scene that much more interesting. Did Will use this creature to get things out of cases that he normally couldn't? Were they truly a witch hunting duet? This kind of originality and variety was far different from his life back at the mansion.

Then the conversation turned away from themselves and onto the students, each one taking the opportunity to introduce themselves to these highly respected figures, with all the energy they seemed to bring in to the classroom, Archimedes wondered if he could just shrink in his chair and disappear, he who wasn't supposed to fear anything feared the idea of introducing himself to the class, especially to these people who, by Dlanor's gaze probably just looked like grunts that would be killed off in the first examination. Archimedes didn't have many likes, dislikes or special talents like that, and barely any weapon training aside from the one time he got to go shooting with the master, when he had gotten particularly saddened one day. Everything was far more confusing when his memory was so mixed up.

But those eyes of Dlanor's...They were just like the ones Archimedes had, stoic and piercing as he stared into the nothingness in the classroom, he would be reminded of the things he had seen and done and remember that he was not like these other humans (or siestas) fate had brought him here, and it was Archimedes' duty to learn and adapt for his master.
