Troublesome Debut [Maverick's Awakening]

Another night, another Cadet. After a bit of writhing came an explosion of power preceding a test. That's how it usually went ever since the Royal Guard's announcement. Julius was in his desk, perusing the documents and reports collected for himself. While Alex simply sat in a desk with his feet on the polished wood of the surface as he worried his thumbs away at some flashy video game in his hands. Maria simply was resting with her eyes closed as she leaned against the wall with her coffin.

It's been a few hours since they the day classes have already ended in Seven Stars. Many students would be at home doing their own business, but not these Cadets.

They were waiting for someone. But certainly, it was just the same old, the same old. Someone would come, give the same speech as always of why they joined. It's the still the same old stuff as always. The door finally creaked open, garnering both their attention.

It appeared another cadet was awakening right now to their potential. Fantastic, Ava just had to join in on this one and get in on some of the action. The events of last night had left an impact on her, and she would not speak like she had before, barely uttering a word as she walked in with a more solemn expression on her face.The forgotten could not help but wonder about this new recruit, and perhaps if they would be like the other problem people she had encountered up to this point. Here to help out, caught wind of someone getting the ceremony.She wanted to say something else, really she did, but the woman was just incapable of mustering any other words out. Not really showing any change in expression or emotion as she said this lone sentence.

Maverick still had the black eye. It's been a very shitty week. And it probably wasn't the best time to join the Cadets. But it also couldn't be a better time, if he gets accepted. He didn't know what made him decide to do this, for the excitement or what. Being a cop usual wasn't his style, but this city is boring unless if you've taken a side. Maverick walked through the school. Damn. It felt like ages since he had been to a school. The halls were nice and clean, everything looked top notch. Maybe if he went to a place like this, his future would be different. Hailing no regrets, Maverick saw the door. Class Zero, huh? He opened the door to see three females. He closed the door and looked down at the floor. He opened it again to still see them. He closed the door again. Yes!, he exclaimed under his breath. Opened the door yet again. Hello ladies, I see that you'll be seeing to my awakening. And nice to see you again, Marie. Took your word for it. And I'm here.

Maverick was prepared for this. He said as calmly, with his passionate Irish accent ready to blaze. Because I know for a fact that I have what it takes to bring order to this city. I can become an invaluable asset to the Cadets. I know of the terrorists that are brewing, and I want to do everything that I can to put a stop to them. What he was saying wasn't completely lies, he did know he has what it takes to defeat the terrorist, but the excitement was too much to pass up. This was a once and a life time opportunity. He stood up proud and tall, the flare in his eyes being almost too real. Maverick waited for his answer, confident he will won't pass him off so easily.

Maverick tilted his head back. He was prepared for this. His answer would be short and simple. Well. If you think I have no ability, then let me join. I'll happily die as a Cadet. You...could kill me. Sure. But where is the fun in that."

"Okay. You're right. I know what you may think of me, what everyone in this whole city may think of me. And I don't blame you. The guilt just eats and eats and eats at me... the Irish in his accent begins to spill out of his throat. His eyes brow knits only slightly "...and this, this is my chance of penance. This is the redemption I seek. If I can just...right this one wrong...but if I can't do this...if I can't become a cadet, then you can put me away, I won't resist. Or... Maverick leans in slightly, looking at him in the eyes, [color=#FF0000]"You can kill me right here...I welcome it. Just please...all I ask is penance. I'll gladly die here, but NOT before I pay this city it's debt" His accent has already become more broken than ever. It was true. The excitement was a driver, but who was he honestly trying to fool? His ego blinded him. Coming to terms with all the wrong, he sits back in his seat awaiting his answer.

Maverick said nothing. He was...suspicious of the red liquid, hell in the goblet. Maverick walk over to it, looking at the man then back at the goblet. He picks it up and downs the drink. Quite tasteless. Not at all alcoholic. A disappointment.
