Jon nodded as both Jax and Cho'gath came over.
"Alright, well, as you both know, our school's Ice Hockey team is in the school-league playoffs for the 1st time in a good decade... and the 1st seed too. You both should be rightfully proud of it," he began, smiling and nodding.
"However," Jon the continued, his smile somewhat fading, "the committee that oversees the IHSL has informed me that as it stands, should we make it to the cup finals - and with our team this year, save for injuries, we most likely will - both of you will be ineligible to compete in the finals themselves due to the academic standing requirements."
"The rules require that a cup-winning team have all of its members have a minimum grade of a C in all of their classes. For you, Cho'gath, this is an obvious issue: a 69 is close, but close isn't enough, you have to reach the 70 in order to be able to be on the roster at the time of the cup finals."
"As to you Jax, you would normally not have an issue, but alas, a special rule exists for Captains such as you: the grade cut-off becomes a B, and you're in the same situation as Cho'gath; you currently have a 78, which thanks to your mid-term performance isn't worse."
"Now, you two will still be able to compete throughout the playoffs until the final, but you both know very well just how much the team depends on both of you; comparing Jax to our 2nd line center is equivalent to comparing the great legend Gretzky to some college student who's never played the game before, and our back-up goalie... we might as well pull him and have a 6th player on the ice, his net minding is that questionable. Not only that, but our defensemen... Jon gave a small frown at the thought of the team's defensemen before continuing, "well, putting it nicely, we haven't had any good defensemen since the 'great wall' duo graced this very school's rink," referring to his twin brother, Jordan, and himself.
"Anyways... it is imperative that you two both bring your grades high enough to be able to be in the finals, as while you'll both be able to play in the playoffs regardless of your grades, you need the minimum requirements in order to be able to be in the cup finals."
"Now, I know neither of you would let me down on the rink, and you haven't done it so far... but this time, I need you both to deliver in the classroom, too. There's only one test in-between now and the cup finals, so study hard, and above all... please...don't let me -and the school- down," almost saying this as if he were begging them.
"That is all, you two, so take a late pass so you aren't held responsible, and remember... don't let us down," nodding them out of the classroom. He then noticed the new student standing nearby, and turned to address him.
"Hello, is there something I can help you with?..."
"There's only one thing that I know for sure is true: 'Truth is relative.'" -Jon
"What side you're on isn't of concern to me. What is of concern is that you're hurt, and I need to treat you for it." -Jon
"Contrary to what some believe, violence does not solve everything. In fact, it solves nothing." -Jon

When Graves came up from behind him, Yi quickly spun around to see him. He was tempted to take away Graves' toy, but he knew what would happen if he did.
Excuse me one moment, Mr. Karthus.
Shaco you say? That little bastard... Do not fear, I will apprehend him and bring him what he deserves.[/color]

Kha'Zix's attention had wandered as the teacher spoke to the other students, he was looking at the many wall displays that would be in a classroom. Trying to piece together what Runeterran school life was like. Though he was quick to turn to the teacher addressed him directly. "Hey. I have only just transferred here from, far away. So I'm not sure like, what I should be doing for this class." He spoke timidly, he had seen this teacher get very angry at some of the other students, something he did not want to happen to him on the first day.

Swain hadn't responded to Rose's last note with anything more than a sheepish half-smile. Now that Mr. Lewis had dismissed them, he cleared everything from his desk into his messenger bag and got to his feet. He was about to rush from the classroom before Cho or Jax could intercept him, but they were being beckoned by the teacher, so... he decided to wait for Rose to pack her things as well.
Maybe they could walk together.
He smoothed a few disheveled strands of black hair back into his tri-hawk, pausing beside her desk, "So.. Have you had Pantheon before?"

Teemo puts an arm around Rumble's shoulders, nudging his chin playfully with a fist.
"Aw, come on! What's so bad about gym? It's the one time in the school day where we don't have to just sit in desks and build up energy. And taking a nice warm shower after letting all of that energy out... it just makes the next few classes go a little smoother, you know what I'm sayin?"
" Don't worry coach, we'll get them up in time. Lets get going Jax." He turned around to Kha'zix though and said a few words.
" Hey new kid, come hang with us at lunch...me and Jax here are quite popular. Look like you could need some buddies.." And he moved on without saying anything more, catching Swain still around...must of been waiting for that girl.
" Hey Swain! You waited for us? Too kind." And he walked up to Swain, towering over him. " What did you get on your test, smart guy? Because that's how many more times your going in your locker."

Jon was about to address the new student, but he forgot to tell something to Jax and Cho'gath, so he called out to them before they left ear-shot.
"Oh, one more thing: practice is moved to this Thursday, so make sure you show up, because it's the last one until the playoffs start!" he called after them.
He then turned to the new student and nodded, drawing out a somewhat large packet of material, and handed it to him, breaking a smile again.
"Ah, a transfer student? Not a problem, this packet here will go over all the material that we have covered so far in the course; as you've been assigned to the class, the grade you left your old math class will be the current standing one you have here as well. As to how it will work, your grade in this math level you had when you left your old school will be 50% of your total grade for this course, and the remainder of the grades will compile the other 50%, including the 20% that will be your final. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to stop by and ask," saying all of this in a pleasant tone; it was usually very difficult to make Dr. Lewis angry, as he usually was affable and jovial; only when he was being deliberately attacked, verbally or otherwise, did he react; but when he reacted, it was usually pretty strongly.

Malzahar grabbed his things and looked up at Cho'Gath and Jax, ready to pick on Swain. He needed to do something. There was a line that had to be drawn SOMEWHERE. Not even noticing how his backpack was light (Was too use to the weight), he walked up to Cho'Gath. "Cho'Gath, I don't think shoving Swain in a locker AGAIN would be wise. You may give the Void a bad reputation. We don't want the new student to get harassed because he's similar to the guy who shoves people into lockers, do we?" He said, trying to use his way with words to get him to not bully Swain. Though he would have to hurry, for physical education was next.

Kha'Zix carefully took the material careful to not cut any of his pages with his claws and put them inside his bag. "Thank you Sir." he said as he put his bag on his back before quickly leaving the room, he didn't want to be late for a second lesson and he needed to follow someone who also had gym as he didn't know where he was going.
Rumble stopped in his tracks and turned right towards Teemo. He spread his arms out and glared at his friend.
"Look at me, Teemo. I'm not meant for physical education. I only take this class because I have to. It's stupid, wasting a class slot like this... when it could be used for another class where I could actually learn something valuable!" he ranted. "I don't need to exert an excess amount of physical motion. I don't need to take showers in school every day. I could be spending my energy in something more worthwhile than... than... than stupid gym!" he spat out. Rumble turned around again and stormed down the halls.

Malzahar looked over at Kha'Zix. He seemed... Lost. He walked up to the Voidlingreaver, speaking with a calm voice. "If you're heading to gym class, you can follow me. By the way, I'm Malzahar. It's good to meet you, since your people talk to me in my head." He said this casually, as if it were a part of everyday life for him (Which it WAS). He held out a hand for him to shake.

Teemo stopped, staring blankly at his friend. He didn't know why, but on the inside he felt... hurt. After a second of staring and watching Rumble march off, the young scout hurries on ahead to catch up to his friend.
"Hey! Alright, so maybe gym doesn't teach you a lot of mental abilities, but... it's not a big waste of time. Honestly, if you didn't have phy ed, it's likely you'd start packing on a few pounds or your bones and muscles could get weaker. Besides... don't you think it's fun to spend a little bit of your school time playing games with your friends and exercising?"
From the tone in his voice, it sounded almost as if Teemo were in a desperate situation to retain similar interests with one of his only friends.

Diana would simply sigh, as she has forgotten her new schedule & begins to pack up. She would preferably walk out with Cassiopeia if she offered, but otherwise she would leave just as quickly as she came... but all of her supplies still required markings, so she would sit for the next 5 minutes marking the rest of her supplies.
"I need to go print out my schedule..." Diana thought to herself, now wondering if the library would even allow her back inside after the hell that was raised earlier.

Rumble rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Hah! I didn't have gym before I came to this school and I fared just fine," he stated. "And fun? Ha! Not when coach Pantheon is the teacher around here," he scoffed.
Around the corner, Shaco winced. Graves was sly, he had already caught his clone, and it was only second period! In his stealthy state, Shaco slowly walked out from behind the corner, stuck his tongue out at Graves without being detected, then slunk back into the halls.
He needed to get to Chemistry fast in time to assemble the prank for lunch. However, he didn't want to take any chances, so he remained hidden, listening to three converse.
