It was time for Joey's first day the academy, the otter was nervously getting himself ready and dressed, as Ryuchi watched the otter running all over his room in his astral form.

"Really, you are making a big fuss about nothing, it's just a school, it's not like you are going to meet the queen of England" Ryuchi commented

"I just want to make a good first impression" Joey answered as he was trying to make sure he had everything

"Trust me, you won't make a fool of yourself on your first day, no more than anyone else would at least" Ryuchi replied

"What do you mean?" Joey asked as he grabbed his sword for his training later

"Do you think EVERY student is going to be a master with every spell and class they take on?" Ryuchi asked

"Well....that was what I thought kitsunes did" Joey replied walking to his closet

Ryuchi just shook his head no, "They are just as clumsy as you with their first times, even those with eight tails still slip up from time to time" Ryuchi explained some

"They do?" joey simply asked as he he began to draw a symbol on the door with his mana

"Of course, so stop stressing, if you keep stressing you will slip up even more, just relax and be yourself" Ryuchi commented

Joey just nodded as he took a deep breath and opened his closet to reveal the school on the other side as he walked out of the bathroom in the school's foyer. Looking around as Ryuchi followed him through, the otter saw that it looked like most other schools seeing an administrator's office as others mingled in the main entrance talking and socializing as others were walking to class or checking out their dorms. Joey began to wander about as he was trying to find where his dorm room was at as he fought his way through the crowds.

"Is it always this crowded?" Joey asked Ryuchi

But before Ryuchi could reply a familiar voice soon answered him, "Not always, seems like they have a lot of new students this year"

Joey turned around and saw his friend, Char, standing there with a wide grin. Joey smiled, as he was happy to see a familiar face.

"Trying to find your dorm?" Char asked

"Yeah, hard to find it in this crowd" Joey answered

"It's not that hard, the dorms are right down this hall" Char explained

"How do you memorize all this?" Joey asked unsure of how he would figure all this out

Char just silently pointed to a sign that showed what hallway led to where leaving Joey to face palm in embarrassment, as Ryuchi just chuckled to himself watching.

"Come on silly, gotta make sure you don't get lost on the rest of the way" Char replied jokingly

Joey just followed in disbelief that he overlooked something so simple like a sign, "So much for first impressions" Joey commented

"Don't sweat it, i doubt anyone actually noticed or even cared" Char answered

The two soon arrived in front of the dorm as Joey looked at how to open the door not seeing a lock.

"It's tied to our mana, only we can open our room, no one else" Char explained as he placed a paw on the door and opened it as his paw glowed some.

Joey watched as the door swung open and saw a bunk bed inside, a standard sized television, a set of dressers, a set of desks, a window, and a bathroom door. The two walked inside as Joey began to examine the room before noticing that one of the dressers began to shake and rattle some. Curiously, the otter opened the dresser as a pink blur jumped on out and pounced the otter to ground. Char couldn't help but laugh as he watched Amy lick Joey's face all over, as the little otter just squirmed and laughed as her licks just tickled him. Joey just laid there on the ground laughing as he soon wrapped his arms around the crinkly vaporeon and hugged her tightly.

"Aww i'm glad to see you too Amy, how did you get here though?" Joey asked

"It was Violet's idea, she had finished training her recently and wanted to surprise you with her, so I helped her hide in your dresser to surprise you" Char answered as he pet her head happily

"Was wondering when Violet would finish training ehr, I missed her so much" Joey replied giving her a nuzzle

"She did all she could, said that she had managed to help her become more of an amplifier for water magic" Char answered with a smile

"An amplifier?" Joey asked tilting his head

"Yes, it should help boost the strength of your own water magic when she is nearby" Char simply answered

"Makes sense then since she is a water type" Joey commented watching as Amy curled up into his lap

"Yeah it does, did you get your class assignments yet?" Char asked

Joey nodded his head, "Yeah, said my first class is with a teacher named Tina" Joey replied

Char just winced some before chuckling, "Ooof, how unlucky for you, she is a tough one"

"She is? What is she one that gives lots of homework or is super strict?" Joey asked nervously

"Nothing like that at all, she is tough in that she is a hand to hand combat teacher for self defense, and no one and I mean no one has ever come close to beating her in a class, she is a dragoness who is tough as nails, super strong and no one can get a scratch on her, everyone who attends doesn't leave without a butt kicking" Char replied

"Yikes" was all the otter could say

"Yeah but she means well, she is tough since she believes magic spells aren't the only way to win a fight, considering she beat our ten tailed headmaster in a fight, she has long since proven that fact, but despite that she can be quite nice, so it's only rough when you are there as a student, maybe you should wear some padding so your butt can get a little bit of cushioning" Char replied teasingly at the end

"Oh hush!" Joey replied some with a blush

"Hehe, you know i'm not letting that go, so what's with the sword?" Char asked

"I got it as a gift it seems, I don't know from who, but I found a teacher who can help me learn to use it, she said she would meet up with me after my classes to train" Joey replied

"Thats cool then" Char replied as he began putting his stuff away "Hope it goes well"

"Same here, it would be nice if I could learn how to use it" Joey answered as he got up to put his things away, "So does the school have any issues with pets or?" Joey asked curiously

"No, as long as you are the one taking care of them and don't let them get into trouble, then they allow it" Char answered

"That's good" Joey replied petting amy's head

After getting everything put away Joey went out to go attend his first class leaving Amy with Char for the time being. Walking up a large bamboo door, he slid it open to reveal a dojo of sorts with others gathered around as a large dragoness stood in front of them waiting for everyone to arrive. Standing in the crowd, the otter looked at his new teacher, Tina, not knowing what to expect from her class as the clock slowly ticked away, to begin his first true class in his new life at the academy.
