"Ugh, do that earlier next time. It can be pretty hard on a girl, you know what I'm saying?"
Rosa's arms are crossed over her chest, but they keep changing position, with Rosa making various noises of discomfort.

"It was a safety precaution."

Akane already has her luggage.
Was she allowed to bring her archery equipment?

Yes, she was.

Valery exits the boat, stuffing her portable game system into her pocket, and approaching the girl. "Miss, do you know where the dorms are? I want to toss my luggage in there before orientation."

The girl smiles at her.
"I'm not a miss. I'm just a student helper here. The dorms should be to the left of the campus building, five or six minutes walk. However, they haven't opened the gates yet, so there's that.

Don't think they're opening them until Orientation, for some reason. Oh well."

September 1, 20XX
Island Port
Morning Phase
It is a typical autumn day on Honmei Island. This island in the Pacific was where the school was situated; the founders had made it so to allow for students of all nationalities to easily access the school. After all, it was the school devoted to educating the best and brightest mankind had to offer; it made little sense for it to be affiliated with any government. In fact, the island belonged to no government or nation, rather belonging directly to the Apex Corporation, the group of thinkers who had founded the Academy itself.

A cool breeze is flowing from the shore, and the students have recently gotten off the ships that ferried them from the mainland, now standing upon the port leading to the school. They were all told they would be able to go back there every so often, to get on ships that would transport them to the mainland- thirty minutes away by boat- for day trips and excursions.

Apex Academy itself appears to be a massive, elegant mix between metal and brick; a tall, wide building with large windows and a large, sleek metal dome covering the top of the whole building. Separating the campus and the rest of the island is a tall, black metal grid fence, with an elegant black gate acting as the only entrance to the school from a dirt path snaking through the forest leading to the port.

At the port stands a fairly nice-looking girl with glasses, filing the students in on a clipboard in her arm and pointing towards their luggage, stacked up on the beach next to the path to the academy. According to the timetables you were all given on the boat, Orientation is in thirty minutes, whereupon you will be meeting the teachers.

Do as you please.

Her clothes immediately loosen.

"I suppose it would be wiser and kinder to give her some time to recover. Am I assured that you will not in fact attempt to punch your 'meal ticket' into the floor the moment I relinquish you?"
Indeed, Rosa is still bound by Yuri's command over her clothing.

"I daresay we have had enough of those for one day."

"And one of them likely to teach Miss Heller to be more assertive?"
