"As you four already know, each of you has a special ability that only you possess. While you don't know yet what it is, you'll figure it out as you train," Ranmaru said as she paced back and forth. "This ability can allow you to do things that others can't. Like calm a histrical person, or move from one point to another in the blink of an eye. As example is Yoko's teleportation ability, she can move a person from one point to another. However, the more powerful the ability, the more taxing it is on your body. As I'm sure you noticed, when Yoko teleported us out of the hospital she became very tired."
Yoko nodded. "The more people I teleport, the more power I need. While the less I teleport, the less I need," she said.
Ranmaru nodded. "Another thing about your abilities. Some are good in certain situations, like what Yoko has. However, others like what I possess are not always useful. My own ability turns me into wind, as you probably felt when I attacked Black Rose back there. It's useful when there isn't much weather, but during heavy weather that ability is useless," she said to them and clasped her hands.
Behind her Yoko walked around her and toward the group. "Our abilities aren't our only means of helping others; we also each have our own personel armor and weapons. Right now none of you can summon either of them, because you need a cresilise," she said and stretched her hand out, palm facing upward. A dark orange sapphire suddenly appeared in her hand, "this is called a Cresilise. It control's our powers and allow's us to use more advanced spells,"
"Also," another student said, interupting Yoko. Yoko glanced at the student but didn't say a word. "You only have a certain amount of time when using your armor and weapons. For us first year's its a five minute limit, because we don't possess much of a power pool. A power pool is where our magic come's from, be warned that if you use up all your power than you'll be dipping into your reserves," the student said and placed her hand on her arm. "As you do that you'll become more and more tired, that's why the instructors here will insist that as you get low on power you should abandon the match," she said and then bowed and took a step back.
"Thank you Sasha," Yoko said.
Ranmaru smiled. "Your armor is called a 'battle dress uniform' or 'BDU' and it protects you from both physical and magical attacks. At this current time your BDU is your current mage uniform, you won't be able to access your personel BDU until after you pass your basic test. Now, your weapons are different, those are based on what type of magic you use," she said and then shook her head. "You are only allowed to use training weapons right now, once you pass the advanced test you will be allowed to summon your personel weapon," she said and then collasped her hands in front of her chest. "Any questions?"
