Alexis tappedher foot on the ground behind him repeatedly.

Σ~σ~Alexis- That's a really good question. I look forward to getting an answer.

Alexis appeared to be angry, even though she wasn't. She expected this much. But no fun in letting them know that.

Alexis walked to a side so that all of them were lined up in front of her.

Σ~σ~Alexis- You're not wrong.

Alexis held a hand out towards them, gathering energy in her hand that shined like silver. The moment that all of them stood petrified, ancelled it and smirked. The house was restored around them, all now standing in the living room.

Σ~σ~Alexis- But you won't be dying today. Not unless you blow up the house again. Next time comes with a fine. And I'm not a fan of paying fees.

Alexis payed insurance on the house to cover a once monthly house restoration. paying any more and it would make her lose it.

Alexis smiled.

Σ~σ~Alexis- If yopu want to live, then get better and learn to transform into dragons. Become good enough so I can't kill you all.

Alexis only wanted them to improve so she didn't have to hold back. Unknown to their mom, Alexis had access to all of her dragonic side. She didn't let her know because she didn't want to help Light. It was her goal to exterminate her mom one day.

Alexis thought about the request.

Σ~σ~Alexis- Seriously? You all want me to train you? I'll do it if you get dad to agree to pay me to do it.

Alexis knew they were completely broke. Any dime they got their hands on was spent as quickly as it possibly could.

Alexis folded her arms.

Σ~σ~Alexis- Just tell him your paying for training since he's too busy and mom is mom. He'll pay for that. You can always throw her in to solidify your argument. Using her as an excuse justifies anything.

Alexis was fairly good(understatement) at manipulating a situation in her favor.

Ken ended up being sidetracked by a call of his own.

Kendelle: Huh.....tournament of power?.... that sounds pretty vague and not really exciting..... How much money is it? Hang on a second.

Ken lowered the phone.

Kendelle: Hey Alexis, Ms. Tiara is throwing a tournament, pitting families against other families, to see which is the strongest. It's gonna be for a large amount of the new global currency, whatever that is.

Ken raised the phone to catch more details.

Alexis nodded.

Σ~σ~Alexis- We're in. All five members of the Benjamin family.

Alexis felt it was about time to reveal the other two children she and Kendelle had. Though Ken didn't know about them.

Alexis smiled and laughed briefly.

Σ~σ~Alexis- No getting one past you is there. Let me give you some advice. If all of you take part, that means dad, mom and Noir won't take part. And i'll crush you all by myself, that or let Mary do it.

Alexis didn't think Ken could do too much.

Adjelica ripped the door right off of the house.

Adjelica: You need not concern yourself with the boys my dear. Nor the tournament after today. to take part you will need three members. And all three must qualify. And to qualify, you must first defeat anyone who challenges you for a spot in the tournament. A single loss disqualifies the loser from taking part in the tournament. But they can still play spoiler for others until the deadline is reached. All results are recorded by a currently active magic field that cloaks the world, as well as other registered planes of existence. I am here today for the sole purpose of eliminating you, Alexis Benjamin, from competing, thus eliminating your entire family.

She sat down.

Alexis folded her arms.

Σ~σ~Alexis- Keep the house together, boys. Though, this one is going to be quick.

Alexis looked to Adjelica, giving her the first move.

Adjelica turned her nose up to Alexis.

Adjelica: No need children. Alexis is the only person who's going to get hurt here. And no harm will occur to the structure of the facility. Pay very close attention.

She placed a hand on her hip.

Adjelica: You can train for five thousand years. But not a single day of training would prepare you against a veteran. You share a weakness with your mother.A weakness I will exploit if we meet in the tournament. You work on self perfection. But you neglect "Perfection Protection". That is a defense against someone who also aims for self perfection. There are two sides to a given coin. In a battle there are always two sides. For every action, there is a reaction. What goes up, must come down. For every smile there is a frown. The coin analogy can be applied in all aspects of life. Such as, for every winner.

She performed several feint kicks that looked convincing enough to believe she was attack with only her legs. But when Alexis set in her guard for a counter. Adjelica applied her real offense, grabbing Alexis by her face and setting a recoil barrier on the floor, where she slammed Alexis head first. The barrier returned the force back at Adjelica through Alexis, which made Alexis pop up at twice the force she slammed. Adjelica applied all of her strength to stop her, then slammed her head against it again at twice the recoiled force. The force exceeded the barriers recoil potential and so the barrier just faded away after being it the second time.

Adjelica: Give me your honest opinion children. If it's okay for an angel to fall. Should it not be possible for a demon to rise?

She used dark mending on her own arm. and on Alexis' head. She would get disqualified if she had killed Alexis.

Adjelica held off laughing at the last comment. She nodded to the boys.

Adjelica:  Gold star for the perfect answer, Vio right?

She walked over to Ken and Mary, who weren't moving at all.

Adjelica:  Allom me to formally and personally introduce myself to you bunch. My name is Adjelica Kijani. I am the school's Etiquette and Politics instructor. I'll leave you bunch with some homework. These two are frozen and unaware of what just happened. Your task is to spin the situation so that no one is either worried nor scared. Do that and you will earn a passing grade for our first class. You have one hour to come up with a story

She smiled.

Adjelica:  Politics can be used to craft stability or unrest. As much as peace and as dire as civil war. Mere words and limited action can snowball into a major point in history. Be it good or bad. Your timer starts now.

She took that moment to take her leave. She both hoped they could make it to the tournament, and wanted to see how they would fare once in.
