After the actions that has transpired last time, Olivia has returned home the next day and it is now the first day of Jake and the other's first day at the newly opened instincts dome. They all go to the center of the main arena as instructed by the staff and run into Alix and Adom.

"Alix? Adom? You guys are here too?" asked Jake.

"Ya. It's mandatory to have a licence to use your avatar in public. Of course the officers are pretty lenient what with the closest one being a good couple of miles away. Now that we have one in our own town, they might not be as lenient as before, so here I am. What's new?" replied Alix.

before Jake had a chance to respond a older man came on the speakers and ordered everyone to get in a line. Once everyone has scrambled into a line, the disembodied voice announced himself.

"alright. I am your principal. You can call me Trevor unless we are on school grounds, then it's mister or professor Letherson. I will also accept mister or professor L, but either way you will show me respect." Trevor announced into his mike as he walked down the line. When he got into view, he had loose leathery like skin and was slouching down on his walking cane. He had no hair except his snow white bushy eyebrows and goatee. He wore a dark green sweatshirt under his cargo vest and wore matching cargo shorts. His left eye was shut with the sclera of the other eye being a pale yellow color. His mouth has a rigid beak shape with a neck that was above average in length and a tail covered in bony plates.

"now before I continue, I'm sure some of you are a little freaked out about my appearance. I have type two beastforum. Who here knows about or have heard of beastforum?" Trevor asked as everyone raised their hand. 

"good.Now for those who haven't put two and two together, my avatar is a turtle. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's begin" Trevar continued before he snapped his wrinkly fingers. Some staff members rolled out  a machine and turned it on next to Trevor.

"this is how we'll sort you and know which class you need to be in. It scans you and gives us information about you and your avatar. Watch" Trevor announced as he pushed a button and the device scanned him as it beeps a few times.

"Name: Trevor Letherson. Avatar: turtle. Soul special: Leather Lungs. Chips: none" the machine said. One student raised their hand and Trevor pointed to them.

" I've never heard of soul specials and chips. What are they?" the random student asked.

"well, soul specials are abilities that are unique to you. There are two types of soul specials, automatic and conditionary. Automatic happens naturally and you don't really need to do anything to activate it. You'll know when it's in effect when the person glows a soft, colored aura. Unlike automatic, you have access to a conditionary soul special the moment you unlock your avatar and can only be used under a certain condition. My soul special, leather lungs, lets me breath under water. That's good and all, but it's useless in the dessert, so it's conditionary. chi-" Trevor was answering before getting interrupted by the sound of a helicopter flying just over head. A rope ladder descended and someone came down and walked toward Trevor.

"sorry I'm late Prof. Letherson. I have no excuse for my tardiness, so please forgive me" he said while giving Trevor an envelope. He had onyx eyes and slicked back blond hair. He wore a long dark coat that hid his jeans and T-shirt with a company's logo. Trevor opened the envelope and was surprised when he read the letter. He tried to quickly transfer a rose gold color piece of paper from the envelope to one of the pockets on his cargo vest as fast as possible.

"no, no, no. You couldn't have made better timing if you tried. You see, a student was asking what soul specials and chips are. I just finished explaining soul specials when you miraculously interrupted. Mind finishing for me by explaining your father's business, Mr.Kata?" asked Trevor.

"of course, and if you don't mind, call me Montague. Speaking of father, his business is the number one producers and manufacturers of crystallized hart improvement pieces or more commonly called chips. Think of them as an enhancer. each one has a different effect depending on your weapon type and chip rarity, Simple as that" answered Montague.

"can someone remind me what are the four weapon types are?" asked another random student. Montague was about to answer before being interrupted.

"type one is a basic weapon. Type two is duel wielding weapons. Type three is a transformative weapon. finally, type four is a long range weapon" interrupted Jessie.

"correct. You really know a thing or two, don't you? Mind if I?" asked Montague, gesturing to squeeze in the line next to her.

"yeah, sure" responded Jessie as she signaled John scooched over to make room to let him in. John tap him on his shoulder to grab his attention.

"hay Monty. Allow me to introduce ourselves. I'm John, that's Kile, and she Jessie. If it's not obvious, we're triplets... well, most of us are at least" commented John, pointing to each of them as Kile lightly hit John in the back of the head.

"...and I'm Jake" finished Jake is standing on the opposite side of Jessie.

"sorry Jake, I think my forget made me concussion about you" John apologized dazedly as he tries to break his vision of twinkling stars by shaking his head.

"nice to meet you all. To show my welcome to my new friends, here have this" Montague commented as he gave John a gift card. John reads the card for his siblings.

"the next four purchased platinum level are seventy percent off! no way, platinum is like the highest level! I should've meat you a long time ago. ha ha ha" chanted John.

"I know what we're doing after school" commented Kile. While they were chatting, they failed to recognize that Trevor has asked students down the line  to come up to the machine to get scanned. Adom bumps Jake's shoulder with his to get his attention that he has next after Adom .
