Hana
Hana walked into the classroom, feeling more comfortable in her kimono--a bright array of color depicting bright flora and a vivid red drop. Her hair was kept in place; Vern had done an excellent job of it, after all. Her steps were short, quick, quiet, and perfect--just like her training had demanded at home. Togepi sat in her arms, singing happily like a child. Looking around, she was awed by it. A large stage at the far end, and a descent of seats like stairs! How something so marvelous could be fit into a building was amazing! She awed a while longer, unknowinly taking a step. "Ah..." She gasped, not realizing she needed to step down, and now went into a fall. But something stopped her short, wrapping around her stomach and stopping the fall entirely. An arm. Togepi fell from the sudden jolt, her eyes widened as she watched her pokemon roll through the air. But a safe landing on the fluffy tail on the back of a growlithe allowed her to breath again. Looking back, she knew who it was that saved her. Again.
Lél set the tiny girl back on her feet, simply grunting out a sigh and walked on. Holly had led him to find something "appropriate" to wear to this class. The auditorium had a few costume props, and he had been coaxed into wearing a soldier like uniform. A naval uniform. He fussed with the sleeves and the layers, muttering about uncomfortable and unnecessary it was in his low hungarian tongue. He didn't bother with Hana's thank yous or frail speaking and bowing. He just wanted to get the class over with and get out of a stuffy set of cloths. "Miksa," He called away his pokemon, heading down to the front. Maybe this class might finally show him something he could use for training. Though, if dressing up was the focus of attention... Probably not. He looked back at Hana for a moment, standing like a practiced princess, and her togepi in its little head veil. He probably wouldn't get much from watching her... This was frustrating.
Azrael was on the stage, fixing everything to make sure that alright and ready for class together with Nagi and Princess, much to Nagi's dislike as the frillish could not take a hint at all. It was his first class of the year he wanted to teach them so much. Now one would why he was waiting until now to make sure everything was ready for the class. The answer: he overslept..but he had a reason, he was going over the agenda for this year. Aside from learning about the rounds and the appeal section of contests, he wanted to teach them about taking care of the pokemon that would appear in coordination contest such as their diet as well as their grooming and training regimes.
He was backstage at this time, just checking the lights before he was happy with he was seeing. It got his approval and he was done with the checklist. With a nod of his head, Azrael went to the front of the stage in order to see who was in the class first. Once he was go front, he could see two new students: a very tall -cute- male and a female in a lovely kimono.
"Hello you..." he said with a bow. "I see you two are eager for the class."
"I'm not late!" Lydia burst through the door, panting (the same as she had done in Battles Class). She bent down somewhat to catch her breath. When she finally stood, her outfit could be seen. Before the girls from the boutique had left for their charity tour, they left instructions for the sister and cousin that would be taking over in place of them. Lydia had a line of things to wear (and an advertising script to go with it; for anyone who asked). As soon as she could, she made her way down to the stage and handed Azrael his letter. "It's from Mia," She smiled up as she reached. "I tried to find you in the teacher's lounge and cafeteria, and a few other places... Before I knew it, it was almost time for class..." She gave a nervous laugh. "But I made it!" She perked right up again, patting behind her head and realizing her hair had fallen out of place. It figured. "If you don't mind me asking though... What are we doing today mister Azrael?"
Paras hung on her shoulder, looking around the room. It was intrigued and confused by the whole thing. It had followed Lydia around the school before, but not as her pokemon (officially). It knew the halls and the dorms, the gardens and the courtyard, but all else was new to it. The bug type had been more interested in surveying the place than Marvin and Blaze--who was Lydia to argue if it wanted to stay out a while?

The little spar with Taku felt good. It'd been too long since he had a good training session with his older brother. Of course, part of that was due to his travels and Team Rocket. But now that he was here again, they could get back into their normal routine. As well, Araquo seemed to have grown a deep respect for Taku's pokemon. So now he was with Kazu, a proud smile on his face as he went onto Kazu's desk and waited for more orders. As Kazu sat, wearing his more special jacket and dark jeans, a look he was used to wearing on the nicer nights out with his friends, he pat Araquo's head. We will head out after classes are done today and meet with Taku in the woods. After we catch us a new friend, we will begin training you. After that, Kazu looked around.
He noticed the Japanese girl and the boy he had previously battled with. He also noticed the teacher, telling Araquo to stay and watch his bag, Kazu taking his egg with him just to be sure it's safe. He approached Azreal and bowed in greeting. Hello, Mister Lennon. I'm Kazuma Yamamoto. It's good to meet you. He stood straight, a small smile on his face. Not wanting to be rude, he turned to the girl who came in before him and nodded in greeting before turning back to Azreal. He hoped this man was better than Athena. The last thing he needed was a repeat of Athena's class "introduction"...

Azrael looked from Hana and Lel to look at Lydia as she came through the door, yelling that she wasn't late. Azrael shook his head with a smile, telling her that she wasn't late at all. In fact the girl was the third one in the class. That was new. Looking at her, it was safe to say that she had her friends at the boutique in Adell help her with her outfit. He was just smiling at her until she approached him and handed him a letter. His eyes widened when he heard it was from Mia, hearing that Lydia went looking for her earlier at the Teacher's Lounge. "Yea.. you made it." He said. "You're the third one here, well done. As for what we're doing..well you will just have to see but do I even disappoint?" He told her with a grin.
As Azrael laughed softly, his attention went to a new student that approached him. He bowed and then introduced himself as Kazuma Yamamoto. Azrael smiled at the boy. "Welcome to coordination. Please enjoy your year here."
Lél looked up at the flamboyant man on stage. This was his teacher? Somehow, he wasn't exactly filled confidence, or overjoyed at the thought. He sat near to the front, still fussing with his cloths. At least his uniform could be kept unbuttoned and untucked. This thing was a nightmare of limited movement! He noted the boy who walked up to the stage, the same one he had battled the day before. Then he finally took notice of a girl in a red and rosey dress. If he remembered right... There was something said about her. That she worked for some little shoppe. A few guys and a handful of girls (especially girls) had gone there for their coordination dress-forms. It couldn't hurt to look. Well, it could. But there had to be something better than this thing! "How das thish help train pokemon?" He muttered, still uncomfortable in nearly every way and irritated by it.
Hana walked down meekly, bowing politely to her teacher. "It good meeting you, Sensei," It was only after she said it that she realize she didn't translate her titles, and her cheeks glowed pink with embarrassment. Eager to copy its trainer, togepi, in its cute little veil, also bowed--but lost its balance and tripped, struggling to get back up. Though, looking at the teacher closer, Hana's blush stayed. He was very handsome, and she found herself unable to say anything more.

Briana raced into class wearing a white dress and her hair back in two buns. She felt like this was as pretty as she would ever look. That was the one thing she hated about Contest class, she always felt ugly. All the other girls and boys had fine dresses and suits to wear, Briana had a few nice outfits, but they were nothing compared to everyone else. Finally she caught her breath and said "Afternoon, Mr. Lenon." Briana made her into the classroom and felt her stomach drop. She was right, everyone was looking positively radiant. And here she was in a simple white dress with a few flowers. There was no comparison.

Devin
Devin Walked in with his brother, both dressed in charming shades of gray. They each stood like gentlemen, true Venetians. Like he usually did, Devin carried his cello case with him, and Jason was looking to cause trouble. Contest class would be his favorite class (or so he thought). Because the only thing better than seeing a girl in their uniform, was seeing a bunch of girls all dolled up and have the potential of seeing short skirts fill the class. Not to mention the guys. But as the two walked down, a girl in a little dress caught his attention. While the teacher was busy, he made his move and shoved his little brother into her. Devin tripped instantly, letting go of his cello case and landing on her. "S... Sorry..." He blinked.
Jason laughed. "Little brother! Shame on you! Flirting with a girl is one thing, but don't tackle her down! Save that stuff for the bedroom." He felt pleased with himself, wearing a big grin on his face. Did he set up his brother for a face slap? Yes. Did he get to see up her skirt? Who cared? Jason was the typical guy in that matter: looking for a beautiful body with a fine set of legs. Then his attention went back to Azrael and Lel at the front. 'I bet I could ride 'em. Probably get hurt. But it might be worth it.' He put on a more school-boy like smile as he walked further down, leaving his brother behind. "Good afternoon teacher. Sorry about my brother. He's not the most graceful person."
Iris helped out as much as she could in the library thanks to help of Marco and Niara as well as her pokemon. Before she knew it, it was almost time for class and she had not even eaten yet. Iris bowed and ran out of the library in order to eat something before she passed out during class and took a shower and got dressed. With one look at herself in the mirror, she off to class.
Iris walked in the coordination classroom, a large auditorium with a grand stage wearing a black short dress with a high collar, long fingerless gloves, a lacy cami and high boots. This was in her closet for some time and she had yet to wear it so now was time to wear it since she left like it. For once, she was wearing something that wasn't green and she was fine with. She even had her hair done up in a short messy bun with her side bangs still out. And to complete the look were here greenish glasses, fakes she got for when she wanted to wear them and her contacts still. Iris looked around, seeing Lydia, Hana, Lel, Kazuma and Briana, make her smile.
"Hey guys!" she said, waving to them as she walked down the aisle. "Are you ready for coordination. I know I am."
She first went up to Lydia and hugged her roommate. "Hi Lydia...you look so pretty!!" Iris beamed at the younger before going to hug Briana since they there was space between them. "Hey Briana, I love your dress!" Iris squealed before looked at Hana and gasped as she made her way to the other girl, embracing her too. "Your kimono is so pretty.." Iris looked at Lel, not sure if he would mind a hug from her. She decided that she would bow to the male instead and looked around.
With her new look around the room, Iris saw the red haired that touched in her breeding class. She had a few choice words for him. She folded her arms, already knowing what she would say if the boy approached her once more and touched her.

Miyako in with a plad like dress as she walk, with a slight bounce in her step. She was absolutely happy. Mainly because she caused marco some trouble, tick off iris for now and she got to wear something but that stuffy uniform. She walk around. Once a safe distance away from everyone she did a small spin around.
Normally this wasn't enough but she ended up shortly after leaving the lunch room found a kid in need. She help him out but ended up taking all his money in return for wasting her time. The kid beg her not to take everything but she used her "womanly charm" and gave him a boo hoo story. Now she had a easy thirty bucks in her dorm bedroom.
She simply sat down as she crossed her legs with a sweet innocent smile as deep inside her brain she remembered the scene of her basically mugging the pour fool.
Tojuro was hanging out with his new friends as time passed he had to leave to head to his dorm. He told them he meet up with them at class. He ran and fell right in front of the boy's dorm and tore up his left elbow. He didn't pay much mind to it. As he got dressed he put a band-aid on his elbow and quickly headed off to class as fast as he could. Forgetting he even had the bag with two slices of cake still.
He quickly made his way to class as he saw his group of friends but not the other two ones he made today. He notice iris right off the bat because of her green hair and blush as his eyes slowly look down at her outfit. His breathing became much more rapid as his eyes darted around nervously as he approach the group holding a plastic bag. "Not again! Not another nervous moment! Hold it together body... Just till after this class and once were in the dorm you can freak out all you want!" he thought to himself, which didn't help.
As he was talking to himself inside his head he walk up to the group and waved shyly at every one. He spoke as calmly as he possibly could "H-hey every one... Hana. Like the dress, just in case you didn't hear.... I like the hair too." He gave a weak shy smile. As he stood there he began moving his arm front and back slightly and notice the strange noise every time and notice the bag and set it down and pulled out to cases each had a fork tap on them. He stood up and look around, iris was hear but niara wasn't.
He turned and face iris blushing a little darker as he still composed himself as he spoke kindly and shyly "Iris... Since you missed out on the picnic... Plus my cake was murdered... Luckily i ummm... Saved you and niara a piece before it was destroyed. I... I hope you like it." He handed iris one of the cases that had her name on it. The other had niara name. He put away the other container and grab the bag as he waited for iris opinion of the cake.

Nira blinked as Tojuro left, then remembered herself and also rose, bowing in apology to Arthur before putting Nanao and Tyr back in their pokeballs and dashing to class; On the way she dropped off the Starly at the infirmary, thanking those inside before running to her room a minute. She didn't look too bad, but she changed quickly anyways, hurrying into the class not long after and panting slightly. She felt the sudden urge to bolt at the sight of the other students in the room, heart skipping a beat a moment before she took a deep breath, closed her eyes a moment, then stepped further inside, keeping closer to the walls than the middle of the room like others were; She wore a type of uniform, the outfit giving her freedom of movement and also allowing her to wear shorts under the skirt so if she fell nobody would really see anything. She felt strange in the room with so many students, but she also knew that she had to get used to it while at the Academy, giving her more reason to try and be more outgoing as her father said she needed to be in order to reach her goals. O-okay, be more outgoing... Maybe when class fully starts...? She thought to herself, gazing at her shoes shyly and biting her lip lightly as she tried not to focus on the others in the room.
"See? Doing fine so far...." She murmured to herself, touching the satchel with Nanao' and Tyr's pokeballs once more. "....Doing just fine..."
3 pokeballs 5 oran berries 3 pecha berries 3 cheri berries 1 potion 1 antidote 1 fire stone
Brought items: 1 Ring Target A contest wardrobe for class (Consisting of at least one stage outfit) 1 Mystic Fire 1 poke-doll (escape doll) 1 Heal Powder 1 Revival Herb 1 Lucky Egg
Azrael returned to look at Lel and Hana. He scratched his cheek at being called Sensei. He could only assume not many of the students knew that he was half as well. From her greeting to him, Azrael would tell that she wasn't use to the English which was okay as long as he understand him and the class."It's a pleasure to meet Ms..Hana. Please tell me if you need additional help or a better understanding of the material." He smiled warmly at the girl before his attention was placed on the taller male. Azrael lifted his brow as the student asked how this would help with training pokemon. Azrael could tell that the student was more battle focused, like much of the other male students of the class.
"This class help with training of pokemon mainly if you want to take up contest such as this class is about which including training regimes, grooming habits, learning for to work with the pokemon you have as well as the attacks that you have. So if you're about battling as a good amount of the male students in here are, it's the similar training regimes where you learn to improve on the pokemon you have, the movies you have and learn either new moves or new way to use them. I believe you benefit from this class in some way."
As soon as Azrael was done with one student, another was approaching him. A boy that was obviously enjoying himself as he told Azrael that he apologized for him who wasn't graceful. He didn't know how to react to it.
