While the adults were making scrolls and reminiscing about their childhood, let's see what the children were doing outside.

*-*-*-*

"Ok, I know we know each other but let's re-introduce ourselves." Erza said grabbing the attention of the group.

"You go first Barry." Peter suggested which pissed Erza because she had this hatred for the dude that no one could understand.

"Who died and made you leader?!" Erza asked the handsome boy who just smiled his million shek smile and attracted many girls to their place causing a noise.

"I told you to stop doing that." Erza growled and was about to wipe the smile on Peter's face with maybe a punch but was interrupted by some of the fan girls.

"What are you trying to do to Peter?!" One of the girls asked angrily.

"Nothing." Erza denied as she moved away from him.

"Ladies, please don't worry about me I'm fine. Just go back to your groups ok?" Peter told the girls then gave another one of his killer smiles.

"Omg!!" The girls squealed as they took their leave.

"It's really convenient to have these girls watch your back." John muttered while munching on one of the biscuits from his bag.

"I know right." Peter agreed sarcastically.

"Attention." Erza announced and was successful in grabbing their attention. "Barry you go first." Erza directed as she switched on the tab and inputted Barry's name at the squad eight section after which she began to video Barry.

"Ok, you're on in three, two, one."

"Hello! I'm Bartholomew Kirk my parents are Sama Kirk and Dave Kirk. My hobby is reading novels, I like many things and dislike many things. I'm 13 years old and my birthday is on February 11, thank you." After Barry was through with his introduction, Erza saved the video and sent it to the administration office.

"Ok Beryl, you're next." Erza informed without looking up as she inputted Beryl's name in the next column.

"Hello. I am Beryl Kirk, my parents are Barry's parents. My hobbies? Meh. My likes? Meh. My dislikes? Meh. I will be 13 tomorrow so my birthday is on March 18." Beryl said without showing any emotions.

"Good, I'm next. Tome can you lend a hand?" Erza asked the scarred girl.

"Ok." Tome collected the tab from the black haired girl then started videoing.

"You're on." Tome informed her.

"Hi, I'm Erza Nomashi. I like cherries, I hate... my hobbies are embroidery and painting. Today is my birthday, so obviously my birthday is March 17 and I'm thirteen today." Erza finished her video and collected the device from Tome and sent the video to the SUA office.

John walked out knowing he was next as he adjusted his bonnet.

"Hello I'm John Cater, I clocked thirteen last year December on the fifth. I like cookies and biscuits, I dislike potatoes, my hair is blond, uh that's all." After John made sure that Erza ended the video, he went back to where he was sitting and brought out a jar of cookies and started chewing on the chocolate chip cookies. Barry stylishly put his hand in the jar to take a cookie but John slapped it away.

Joan went from where she was sitting and took her video, since she was John's twin they had most stuff in common only, she preferred smoothie over cookies.

Then it was Peter's turn.

"My name is Peter Aldorado........." Peter's words moved farther away from Barry's ears because the boy was to bored to listen.

'This is getting boring, well let me read one of those books I bought.' Barry started searching his bag then he found it. The name of the book is 'the fall of Aldorado'.

'Aldorado! Isn't that Peter's family name? Well let me find out.' After a while of reading, the world around Barry changed. It was as if he was drawn into the book.

Barry stood still in the huge compound for a moment before deciding to walk to the biggest building he assumed was for the family head.

When he got closer, he heard some arguments about weapons and metal synthesis. A man suddenly burst out of the doors angrily with his followers close behind. Later that night, the man and his family attacked the Aldorado family taking advantage of the fact that there were not much scroll users in the Aldorado family. After series of slaughters and pleads from his followers, the head of the Aldorado came out.

The head of the Aldorado family came out with two sheathed swords which had grey pommels while the rest of their hilts were a lighter shade of grey.

The two family heads came to face negotiate with each other which failed, resulting into a conflict and attack.

A 'swish' sound was made as the head of the head of the Aldorado unsheathed his sword. Upon seeing that, the head of the other family synthesized a pair of grab batons and ran kekai down them in preparation for attack.

The battle between the two was a tough one but the Aldorado had the upper hand.

As the head of the Aldorado was about to claim victory, a huge ball of blue flames headed towards him but he cut it into two using a sword made of wind.

The two heads came to a halt as they looked at the source of the fireball. The Ina family had come to the scene.

The head of the Ina family sorted matters out between the two families by creating a power balance, but the damage done to both families could never be repaired. And up to this day the Aldorado still suffer from the irreparable damage of the fight.

Ever since that day, every record of the other family were erased. No one heard of the other family's name, even the ones who knew something about that family suddenly forgot. No one knew anyone from that family or their location. The only thing known about them was their technique. Metal synthesis.

Barry came back to reality only to find out Peter was at his back reading with him with a look of disapproval on his face.

"Peter I'm so sorry I didn't mean to pry into your family's affairs." Barry said apologetically.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Peter reassured Barry who smiled at the handsome boy.

"Thank you." They heard Tome say and turned to see Erza sending a video to the admin.

"Guess we missed Tome's intro." Barry said as he turned around to look at Luke

"Did you give your intro?" Barry asked his brother.

"Yeah, I did after Peter." Luke answered with a shrug.

"Since we're done with our introductory videos, let's choose a captain." Beryl announced and adjusted her pony tail. She noticed Peter staring from her peripheral vision and blushed, looking away.

"Well our captain will be Erza." Luke stated in a fact like manner.

"Erza it is then." Joan said supporting Luke's motion.

"Wait, why Erza?" Peter asked clearly against Erza.

"Cause I'm a better captain." Erza stated as if it was the most obvious thing.

"No you're not!" Peter refuted.

"Hmph! Then why are you not captain?!" Erza retorted. Peter's mouth opened as he tried to think of a comeback but closed again when he found none.

"Want to fight?!" The boy challenged her instead.

"Come on!" Erza yelled and so they started their fight.

Barry sighed at Peter and Erza and continued to read his other book but was interrupted.

"Hey Barry." Barry heard Luke call so he turned back.

"Want to know how I knew your name?" Immediately after Luke asked the question, Barry stood at attention.

"How?" Barry asked suddenly feeling a huge wave of curiosity flow into him.

"I guessed." After Barry heard that part he face palmed.

'To think I got curious for nothing.' Barry thought to him self then went back to reading his book.

"What did you think?" Luke asked Barry who was reading his book.

"To be honest, I didn't think of anything." Barry answered.

"Well let's leave those bickering idiots and let's take a stroll." Luke suggested as he stood up from his seat.

"Ok let's invite John too, he seams very reasonable." Barry agreed and turned to have a look at John who was eating some biscuits as usual.

"Ok." Luke agreed.

*-*-*-*

John was on his seat munching on his biscuits when he felt someone looking at him. He looked up to confirm his suspicion and sure enough, he found Barry and Luke staring at him. Luke waved at him to beckon him over.

'Hmm, suspicious.' John thought to himself as he carefully made his way to them to avoid spilling Joan's smoothie and to avoid joining Peter's and Erza's argument/fight.

When he got to the place where where the two brothers sat, he asked why they were calling him. "Why did you call me."

"We just wanted to stroll around for a while, maybe Beryl will settle the fight between those two." Luke pointed at the two who were still arguing but this time Beryl was in between them trying to act as a mediator.

'Tsk, I just pity those two, but I can't wait to see what Beryl will do if she gets angry.' Barry stated a mental note of pity as he turned to Tome and Joan.

"If Beryl gets angry please calm her down or restrain her and at worst case scenario, knock her out." Barry pleaded.

An 'ok' was all the girls said then Barry and the other boys started strolling.

After taking a tour round the huge academy they found that the academy wasn't only for scroll users.

They found a library which interested Barry. "Woah!" He exclaimed at the number of books in the library and promised to pay a visit later.

On their way back from the tour they heard a shriek towards the direction of the scream.

When they got there, they met Erza and Peter on the ground rolling in pain, Beryl was on the floor unconscious and Joan and Tome watching and smiling at them.

"What happened?" John asked as a look of worry crawled up his face.

"Beryl beat the frigg out of them." Joan replied her blond haired twin.

On hearing that Barry gave the girls a stern look.

"Don't look at us we tried our best you know." Joan defended.

"And by trying our best we meant knocking her out." Tome added.

"Well it was Tome's idea to begin with, she said that after Beryl beat them up we could knock her out." Joan said having the guilty look on her face.

"Don't worry she's a scroll user so the damage will be less."

*-*-*-*

After a while Beryl woke up to meet stares from Peter and Erza. She groaned but to her surprise he body didn't ache.

"It's one of the benefits of being a scroll user." Tome said, answering Beryl's unspoken question.

As Beryl was ruminating over it, the closing bells rang.

"Bye I'm off." Tome waved at them then ran towards the gate. After a while of chats the others followed suit and all of them left for home.

After they left tutor Lloel came out of his hiding spot and sighed.

"Cole is going to have this hands full with this squad, luckily I'm not getting any squad to take care of. I'm better off as an academy tutor." Tutor Lloel mumbled to himself and started whistling as he walked to the staff building.

*-*-*-*

"But will they be able to handle the pain?" A voice asked no one in particular.
