Aiden looked around at the various students seated before him. As was school code, each student wore their primary ranger color and he remembered his days in Germany, where it had been forbidden to wear the color of your uniform, lest it be too obvious who you were. Shaking his head a little, he cleared the thoughts from his mind and offered the class a somber smile.
"Welcome, officially, to the Power Ranger Academy." His voice was softly accented, the german showing through, and he leaned back, against his desk.
"I know that this is a big life change for many of you -- things are very different here than they were at home, and you will be one day putting your life on the line for hundreds of people who will never know your face, who will never look you in the eyes and thank you." He let this sink in. It was heavy information. These students would be heroes, but no-one would ever know them by name. No one would ever know the suffering and toil and work put into protecting the world around them. This was not a thankless job, but a nameless one.
"This is a serious career choice for many of you -- and it is time to put away any childish games." He was sincere, his faded blue eyes pausing on each new face as he spoke.
"And because it is a hard life -- the life of a Ranger -- you should understand that above anyone else -- these people, your fellow students around you, are your new family. Some of you will be put on teams together, many of you will fight to protect each other. Therefore, I believe it is appropriate that we spend the first day of class not studying the History of the Power Ranger, but instead studying one another -- learning more about each other. You will spend the next two years of your life with these people, so learn to appreciate them." His gaze met with one of the students and he raised his eyebrows.
"Go ahead. Introduce yourselves. One at a time."
