Character intro design: https://i.imgur.com/sH6wjTH.png
We see a boy putting a camera to record a Vlog, he is in the music room and then he starts playing the piano, he then gets up and takes the camera and introduces himself:
'Hi, I'm Luan, I will be turning 15 in a few days, me and my mom Ana decided to return to Rivercity about 1 year ago, because I received an invitation to come and study at ST High School is a renowned school and belongs to the Becker Academy Group, they also have a University and University Hospital, both very prestigious and managed by Grandpa Han Becker, I'll start by telling you a secret that will be revealed yet, so many people in this school do not know that I am one of Grandpa Han's grandchildren, Many things have happened during this 1 year, and especially these last weeks, they have been full of events, I am still dealing with the situation, I have a mission now, so I hope you can accompany me on it, this city seems normal with normal people, but not everything is what it seems, so Be very welcome!'
"He opens the door and walks out of the music room and starts introducing the school.
! Today is a Monday, and we will start the vlog by introducing the school, it is a very large school. He walks through the hallway, enters the classroom there is his cousin Derick."
Then Derick stops reading and frowns in disapproval.
"What are you doing, Luan?"
"Ah, I'm recording a vlog!"
"What? Go record somewhere else, I'm reading!"
"Ok, ok. See you soon!"
***Intro: My cousin Derick has a bit of a short temper, he's going to be 16 soon, so we study in different rooms. When I returned to Rivercity, it was a bit difficult to get along with him, he didn't seem to like me very much and didn't want me to be his companion in the Awakening Test, there was some resistance on his part, but we managed to understand each other, after a deep conversation, I explained my reasons for wanting to participate in the Awakening Test, and he explained his, so we managed to understand each other, he's a bit grumpy for his age, but deep down he's a good boy, we have an alternative-instrumental rock band.
Luan is now filming the main corridor of the school. There is a central area that is open and very breezy, so this is perfect for the warmer days. Luan is distracted filming when he bumps into two other students Mary and Kenji.
***Intro: Mary is the President of the Students' Guild, she was elected by the students, since I didn't want to take on the role of President and, with a lot of insistence from Mary, I ended up being Vice-President, we ended up falling out at first, but we're getting better over time, she's a bit angry, but she's our Queen Bee.
***Intro: Kenji is the secretary/treasurer of the Students' Guild, he's 15 years old and we're in the same room, he's very efficient, responsible, and the most patient of all of us, besides playing bass in our rock band, he's always ready to help.
Luan gives a smile and hides the camera covertly, exchanges a few words with Mary and Kenji, but Mary notices and asks:
"Are you recording a Vlog Luan?! Again Luan, I told you not to keep recording around, soon there will be several students filming, it will become a mess!"
Luan retorts:
"Oh, relax Mary, it's just a short video, Wow but you look so beautiful today!"
Mary also retorts:
"Don't try to flatter me no, I already said that ,grrr, I won't repeat it anymore!"
Kenji then laughs, fixes his glasses and speaks:
"Good Luan, don't forget we have a Student Guild meeting after lunch, and remember tomorrow we have rehearsal with our band, I'll send a message in the group so that Derick and Theo don't forget too, and on Friday we will have a performance."
(Yes they have a band, 4 in total, Luan on Keyboard-Vocals, Derick Guitar-Vocals and band leader, Kenji on Bass and Theo on Drums, it's an pop rock band).
The other students who are arriving and passing through the corridor, don't even care much because they know that Luan is a spontaneous person and is always joking, so they are already used to it, Kenji then pulls Mary to go and tidy up the meeting room, before she really chokes Luan in fact. Luan is then heading towards the school's entrance hall to check if the students are in full uniform, he also crosses with Principal Han Becker, his grandfather they exchange a few more words, but as there are many students Luan refrains from talking to his grandfather at school, so later they will meet at the Training that is done at Grandpa Han's house, every other day, so that there is no wear and tear and this somehow hinders the school performance of both Luan and Derick. Luan then prepares to close the door of the school entrance hall if there are 1 minutes left to beat the signal, two more students appear, Tommy and San, they point to the clock with 1 minute left, and imply that they can still enter, when Tommy then grumbles:
"Hm, there is still 1 minute left, we can still enter, without the stressed Luan, getting on all our nerves!"
Luan ignores him and pretends he's not even seeing him, he really doesn't want to stress with someone today.Tommy doesn't like being ignored and already starts to want to get in trouble: -Are you ignoring me? You...
Luan then speaks:
"You have 30 seconds to get in before I shut the door in your face"
Tommy then gets even more angry, but is interrupted by the Coordinator who passes by at that moment, San pokes Tommy, as a sign that it is to be quiet and enter soon. The Coordinator is a very serious person, so usually people understand what her look means, she points to the clock and signals to Luan that it is time to close the door, Luan then pushes Tommy and San to enter and close the door.Tommy enters grumbling, but disguises it with the presence of the Coordinator, she then asks Luan to wait, possible late students and then go up to his classroom.
***Intro: Tommy is a student who tends to always be annoying and harassing students, so many end up being afraid of him, and has a rivalry with Luan, because when Luan started attending the school, he started confronting him after a few months of serious discussions with Luan, the last conversation they had seemed to have improved, but Tommy seems to be doing something wrong, and San is his best friend, he has a snobbish way, but he is the quietest, he is the tallest among them so he ends up passing an image of more imposing, his father is Chief of Police, so this makes him always get away with bullying reports.
Luan then goes out the door of the Entrance Hall closes it and sits on the side wall, waiting for any more students to arrive late, he begins to film the entrance of the School, to finish his video, then he yawns from sleep, he seems very tired lately, he finishes his video and goes to the classroom next. All in class, the hours pass without any kind of problem until lunch, Luan will get the snacks, a juice for him and Derick before going to the meeting, they always have lunch together and almost always go to houses together, after all they are neighbors in the condominium where they live so because it is the same way, they also end up going together on the way to and from school almost every day. Luan arrives with the snacks he bought and says:
"Derick, since I can't always buy snacks, tomorrow you buy them ok?"
Derick looks seriously at Luan and says:
"-...I always buy everything, it's been a long time since you bought anything!"
Luan puts his hand in his pocket and says:
"-Oh, I know but I have little money, your allowance is much higher!"
"Why don't you bring me two snacks then? Since you decided to pay today?"
"Nham...nham...I only have a few coins left, so I can only buy one piece of gum!"
Note to author: Derick knows how hard Luan's mom works to make ends meet, and she doesn't make much money being a writer, Grandpa Han gave them a house to live in once they returned to RiverCity).
Derick then eats his snack and then says goodbye:
"I'm off to training, see if you can concentrate or else don't even show up for me to train today!"
Luan nods and says:
"Oh, how nervous...Oops I have a meeting in a little while at the Gremio, then I go to training!'
Luan finishes his quick snack, goes to brush his teeth and goes up to the meeting, everything goes well Luan finds it strange that no student has reported aggression, bullying lately, this was very recurrent a few months ago He leaves the Meeting and goes straight to Training at Grandpa Han's house.
***Intro: Grandpa Han is the principal of ST High School and founder of the Becker Academy Group. He has been the conjurer of the Time Mage for more than 70 years and he still works for the DSO, the organization that controls the entire city of Rivercity, magic allows him to live longer and another factor also helps him, he is of demonic descent. He's a very powerful mage, he's very respected for that, I'm trying to become a mage too, I've been training for a few years now.
