"Alright Mister..."

"Obsidian Blade."

"Right. Mr. Blade, I am pleased to inform you that your results have finally come in."

Obsidian steps forward a few paces, awaiting what the mare had to say. Hopefully, she wouldn't forget what the results were. She seemed to have enough trouble remembering her own name, let alone yours.

"And?"

"Oh, uh... Yes... Let's see..."

She holds up a small board with a metal contraption using her magic, and puts on a pair of glasses, and clears her throat.

"In regards to your physical exam... You're in peak physical condition, but we recommend that you avoid any strenuous physical activity for a few days. There were several reported cases of mild stiffness in the joints and sore muscles from victims of long term petrification. However, as you were encased in crystal and not stone, we'll have to run further tests on you at a later date. Now, onto your mental exam..."

Obsidian groaned. How long would this blasted examination take?!

"... aside from the confusion caused by your, ah... temporal displacement, as it were, there are no mental irregularities. While it will take some time to get adjusted to almost five thousand years of change, we of the Royal Canterlot Department for the Temporally Misplaced will be glad to accomodate your historical needs. Now, onto your magical exam results."

She held up the clipboard, making a rather serious face. Obsidian didn't like that face one bit.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"

"Well, not exactly, but... It seems that as a result of your, uh... lengthy hibernation, you have a larger amount of latent magic within your body than normal. It's not serious or anything, but we recommend that you find a way to burn off the excess magical energies, otherwise you may suffer from occasional magical feedback."

"Er... Thank you, ma'am. I'll be sure to do something about that. Have a nice day."

"You too, Mr. Blade."

With that finally over, Obsidian closed the wooden door behind him, and stepped out into the hallway. He certainly didn't like the idea of a spell backfiring on him; if it were in a serious situation, that could cost him his life, but thankfully, these times were much more peaceful in comparison to his era.

Noblesse strolled hurriedly down the hallways of the castle with a frown on his face as he studied the reports held in front of his snout by a Unicorn servant. With a sharp word he sends the servant scurrying off and continues to proceed forward with a thoughtful frown on his face.

He doesn’t seem notice Obsidian until he almost runs smack dab into him, stopping short at the last moment thanks to a tug from his Intuition, “Oh! Sir Obsidian! I do apologize, my mind was elsewhere. It seems that somepony thought it a good idea to celebrate the Princess’ return by blowing through almost the entire rationing reserve stored up during the Eclipse. Ah, but you don’t know about that yet? Nevermind, I am sure it will be covered in your current event classes. On that note, how was your exams? No problems I hope?”

"Other than some magical buildup from being asleep for the last 4500 years, I'm perfectly healthy. They want me to avoid any strenuous physical activity, and because I was frozen in crystal and not stone, they wish to perform more tests on me at a later date. Don't know when, though.
Perhaps I'll get a letter about that later."

Obsidian pauses.

"Anyway, back to the magical buildup. The mare said I needed to burn off the excess magic, otherwise I'd experience some magical hicups, as it were. What did she call it? Magical feedback, I think."

He sighed.

"So, Duke Noblesse... Is there anywhere else I need to go? I'll need to visit the royal library at some point if I want to catch up on the last 4500 years of history."

Obsidian chuckles, flashing the duke a smile.

"Should be quite the engaging read, eh?"

“Hmm..... Magical Buildup then?” Noblesse says musing on things for a bit, “Well first off I recommend against the royal library. The books contained therein are complete to the point of near uselessness. Too many meaningless details without enough attention given to what’s actually important. Hrmm.... but I DO think I know someplace that could fill in your gaps of history and help you burn off your magical buildup. Follow me please.”

Noblesse leads Obsidian out of the castle and a little ways down the street stopping in front of another building.

“This,” He says gesturing up at the stone edifice which looked like a miniature version of the castle only with A LOT more towers, giving it a frankly hedge-hoggish appearance, “Is Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorn. All the brightest or well connected Unicorn fillies and colts in Canterlot have attended here, including Twilight Sparkle herself. Not only do they learn how to use their magical abilities for the benefit of Equestria, but they also get a full classical education as well, mathematics, grammar, and most importantly in your case history.”

He walks through the ivy covered gate onto the grounds of the school itself adding as an aside, “Personally if you ask me though, it’s still has nothing on my good ol’ alma mater, Epona Academy across town,”

"Interesting..." said Obsidian, eyes drawn to the building, which had far too many towers, in his honest opinion.

"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised... From what I've heard, Celestia always did love to teach. I'd imagine her duties as ruler of Equestria got in the way of that, so this was the next best thing."

Snapping out of his reverie, he looked to Noblesse, then to the school, then to Noblesse once more.

"... I don't suppose I'll have to ENROLL, will I?" he asked, chuckling nervously. "In case it wasn't obvious, I'm far too old to be one of the schoolfoals in attendance here."

“Ohohoho, you know what they say, it’s never too late to go back to school,” Noblesse said with a wicked glint in his eye, as he leads Obsidian across the grounds, “Really, you should feel grateful if you get to attend. The greatest Unicorn Sorcerers and Wizards have come out of these hallowed halls, including the esteemed Element of Magic, Twilight Sparkle, herself.”

“Did you know that they wanted to put up a statue of her, but she insisted that they take the money they would have spent on the statue and spend it on a new High Energy Magic Building?”

"She sounds like quite the mare, Duke." mused Obsidian as he wandered through the school grounds with Noblesse. "Then again, she is Princess Celestia's personal student, so it sounds well within her character to do something of that nature."

Eventually, the two stallions entered the school itself, walking past paintings of several esteemed Unicorns that had attended, the most recent ones being paintings of the current Prince Blueblood, who Obsidian surmised was "an outright git" just by looking, and Twilight Sparkle herself, whose painting was at least double the size of Blueblood's portrait.

However, that only drew Obsidian's attention for a moment, as his ears swiveled towards the sound of a rather haggard sounding stallion screaming bloody murder further down one of the halls.

Obsidian shot Noblesse a look that plainly asked him "should we?", and waited for a response.

“It is safe to say that she, along with the other Bearers of the Elements of Harmony are the architects of our current Age of Heros. Their actions have inspired an entire generation of Ponies, and I am sure you will become very familiar with their tales during your time here,” Noblesse explains as they make their way down the hallways of the school, “Hrm, and I would appreciate if you did not insult my cousin in front of me. Even if he has not made the wisest choices over his life he is still family.”

At the screaming, Noblesse glances towards the sound then back to Obsidian, “Hrm, best to just observe for now. We are only guests here afterall.”

"I will make no promises, Duke. I will speak my mind about him, family or not." said Obsidian with a dismissive snort.

At Noblesse's reaction to the scream, he smirked.

"If you say so, Duke. We'll observe, but I think I'll do so at a... shorter distance."

As Obsidian walked closer to the source of the screaming, he could make out laughter, followed by more screaming from who he assumed to be the same stallion, which only caused the laughter to grow louder.

"... Ungrateful BRATS! Every one of you! ... my blood, sweat... tears into teaching you degenerates the essential... AND YOU STOMP ALL OVER IT!"

The moment Obsidian peered into the classroom was one he'd rather forget. The stallion in question was a rather portly fellow, whose body was pelted with rotten tomatoes, shot at with rubber bands, and had a few spitballs stuck in his mane. He froze the moment the manic pony made eye contact with him.

"YOU! You're their teacher now! They're YOUR problem! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Before Obsidian could object, however, the former teacher donned his hat and coat, and sped out of the classroom, a trail of dust following in his wake.

(want me to NPC the students or something?)

Noblesse silently observed the events that transpired before walking up and looking between Obsidian and the students while lightly chuckling.

“Hmm.... you know, honestly I had intended to see if you could start out as a janitor or some such, but I suppose that works too. Shall I leave you to get acquainted with your new students while I go see the dean about the proper paperwork, professor Blade? Indeed I think I shall,”

He walks out the classroom in search of the required mountain of paperwork, adding under his breath as he passes Obsidian, “I will respect your right to insult my family if you respect my right to challenge you to a duel for the insult.”

(Yeah, sure. Go for it.)

As Noblesse passed by him, Obsidian quirked an eyebrow and smiled.

"If that is what you desire, then I won't object."

Watching as Noblesse exited the room, he turned towards the young ponies in attendance, all eyes upon him.

Taking a quick look over what he assumed to be the teacher's notes, he surmised that they were learning about basic levitation and telekinesis. Putting down the small stack of papers, her cleared his throat, and looked at the classroom full of ponies.

"Right then... Hello class, I am Obsidian Blade, and I will be your teacher for today."

Inwardly, he groaned. He could take on a platoon of gryphons, a pack of Timberwolves, and maybe even an Ursa Minor if he was lucky, but a classroom full of fillies and colts? This was going to be tough...

(Heh, this shall either wind up being crazy awesome, or horribly, horribly bad. Also, for the record, I’ve been meaning on making Maggie a character but have been procrastinating on her character sheet. Also, also, I gave the TK instructor Obsidian is taking over for a name.)

The standoff between students and teacher stretched on for an entire beat panel before being broken by the sound of claws clicking on tiled floor and a rather chirppy voice heard from the hallway saying, “Late! Late! Late!”

The voice was followed by it’s own soon after, a young orange gryphon charging into the room only to trip on her own oddly rainbow colored scarf to wind up sprawling right in front of Obsidian Blade, “OoOoOoOoOo, someone get the number of that frankenstein.....”

After shaking off the twirling gryphons circling her head she gets to her feet and turns to Obsidian and absently comments, “Sorry Herr Wirkung! I had to um.... ah..... redo my charms! Yes! That’s it! Haha, you know how slow we ritual mages ar- uh.... um.... you’re not Herr Wirkung......”

Obsidian looked down at the student who had ended up on the floor, his eyes widening in what could be considered a mixture of surprise, shock, and possibly a shred of anger.

When she had scrambled to her... claws, he sighed. That's right, she was just a foal-- er, what was the word for a young gryphon? A fledgling, that's right.

Another thing she had said caught his attention; She was a ritual mage? He wasn't overtly familiar with ritual magics, but he knew that it was an ancient art, and few were capable of using such magics. Attempting to keep his tone even, he sighed, and pointed to a nearby empty desk.

"Please, take your seat. I'll overlook it just this once, considering the circumstances of my presence here."

Once she was seated, he cleared his throat. "Now, I know I just introduced myself to you all, but for the sake of those just arriving..." he paused, looking at the gryphon wearing the rainbow scarf. "Or, for those who are less attentive than others." His gaze fell on a young colt who wore some strange looking device over his ears, bobbing his head to unseen rhythm. Once the colt realized that all eyes were on him, the device was stowed away, and Obsidian continued.

"I am your new Telekinesis Instructor, Obsidian Blade. Before I was a teacher, I was a soldier. As a result, whether on the field or in the classroom, I expect nothing but the best of those under my watch. I will not tolerate any shenanigans, laziness, or tardiness. Any of you who attempts to disrupt my lessons in any shape or form will be forced to stand upright out in the hallway, on your forehooves. Do I make myself clear?"

Yeah........ any hope Obsidian had of cowing the class into obedience were dashed with Maggie’s appearance. Her antics got a chuckle from several of her classmates which she accepts with a bashful nod of her head before heading to her desk. With the tension broken, the students start whispering amongst themselves as Obsidian talks, stopping only when his gaze rest on them, to immediately start up again as his gaze leaves them.

As for the gryphon that was the cause of all this mess, after getting to her desk she pulls out a rather battered and cluttered book and a quill the same color as her own feathers and begins seemingly doodling in her book.

Obsidian looked over the class; They were a disorganized, disrespectful lot. He could tell he wasn't respected the moment he showed leniency with the gryphon. Had he been in their place, he might have shown similar behavior. But right now, he was a teacher, and despite his... reservations towards Gryphons and all related species, the classroom was not a place for inequality.

He looked over the lesson plan for today, and snorted when he realized just how far along the class was; they were only able to lift objects the size of their hooves! Shaking his head, he walked into the supply closet, and levitated out a number of sandbags, landing them with a "thump" on each students desk.

When he made his way to the front of the classroom, he saw a shaky hoof held in the air.

"You. What is it?"

"Er, Mister Blade, why are there sandbags on our desks? We're only up to rubber balls in our telekinesis lessons..."

"I am well aware of that, colt." he said, narrowing his eyes at the pony in question, whose face was riddled with blemishes, and glasses that were rather thick looking.

"If there's something worth doing, it's worth doing WELL, which is why I am giving you these sandbags to practice on. If you can lift these at least one hoof off of your desks, then you should be able to float a paltry rubber ball without a second thought."

"But that wasn't in--"

"I am AWARE that wasn't in your old teacher's lessons, colt. I am not your old teacher. I have my own way of doing things. If you disagree with them, you're welcome to do a hoofstand out in the hallway."

That shut up the colt rather quickly, and it wasn't long before the rest of the class began attempting to lift up their sandbags, with the key words being "attempting to".
