"My name is Hidekazu Takahashi," Takahashi says, bowing his head ever so slightly as he looks out at the mass of students who sit in front of him. He pitches his voice to be heard, knowing that while he has an accent, it isn't very thick and that all should be able to understand him. There are already a few familiar faces, students that he's seen in passing, but for the most part the rows of faces looking back at him are all strangers. Arranged by year in the large room, sitting cross-legged in neat rows, the students of Freedem stare back at him. "I will be taking over for Professor Jameson."
Takahashi is silent for a moment, saying a quick prayer for the dead inwardly as he waits for the murmurs to calm down. "I know it has been a trying time for the past week and many new adjustments must be made, but first I'd like to see where you all are in terms of knowledge. The curriculum states you should be at a certain place, but I would like to talk with each year to see whether there are any students who are behind or ahead of the class." Takahashi smiles gently, radiating calm as he turns his head towards the older years.
"For now, I would like for both fourth and third years to pair up. If possible, I'd like an older student paired with a younger one. Fourth years are to maintain their focus while the third years will try to break it. Powers may be used, but only at reasonably low levels." Takahashi's lips quirk slightly, wondering if he will have to chastise students for misusing their powers on his first day. It probably shouldn't be a problem with the older students. "Second years, I would like you to practice any technique that you have had much difficulty mastering. I will be coming around to check on your progress and talk to you after I have finished with the first years."
Again, Takahashi pauses and then he points at the ground and the lines which have separated the room up into four equal sections, each of them marked with a year number. He gestures at the two squares which are marked with the numbers three and four and take up half of the room. "Third and fourth years will be using half of the room to practice while I talk to other students. Second years will be in the corner behind you." He points to the corner behind where everyone is sitting, still smiling softly. "And by process of elimination, first years will be talking to me over here." He gestures at the last remaining space.
"Everyone move to their respective corners, please," Takahashi waits, watching the minor mayhem with an inward amusement as the students move to where they've been asked, waiting until he sees them settling into doing what he asked before he moves over to the first years and smiles, his expression open and friendly.
"Now, would anyone feel like telling me what has been covered so far?"
[[OOC: Please have students reply to their respective headings in character. Takahashi will be moving from group to group. If you have any questions for me, don't be shy in asking and if your character has any questions for him, please, he would be delighted if they were to ask.
As of right now, the posting order will be student, Takahashi, student, Takahashi. If some students have extended actions (like Locke showed below), they might get one or two more posts in a row than normal, but Takahashi wants to make sure that every student who wants a say can have one.]]
