Do you remember those days? You know, back when criminals were not given given choices to redeem themselves? To think such a day ever existed! I mean, people should always be given a second chance. I think so at least. Like, people always have a chance to change, so why not give it to them? But I guess not everyone has the power to put their lives on the right track... Or they just don't want too. I really guess it's all up to them, whether or not they wish to stay a bad person or not. There's a choice now for those young people that make the wrong choices, it's not a touch choice really. Prison or salvation. I know, I sound too confident in saying it's salvation, but its a chance to save yourself. If some people manage to find the right path, I'll have to think there's hope for this world... After all, the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow, so why not help those straying off the path?
The Year is 2025 and the world seems to be calm, though throughout the world there is quite the crime rate. Most of of the crimes are being committed by students. Yes, that's right. Your sons and daughters seem to be taking the wrong road in life. But it didn't just recently start, I mean there was a school before Point Hope that did basically the same things... Or so I've been told. You see, I never was apart of that school, though most of my students were..as well as many of my teachers. You know, ugly rumours seem to fly about when it comes to that school. Most of which seemed to come from the students, though none of the teachers ever seem to want to talk about it. I mean, it is something that dwells with the people who fled it.
At that time I was building my own school for a completely different purpose... and completely oblivious to the happenings at Paragon. It wasn't until I got wind of my good friend's injuries in the battle did I change my ideal. That's right, where Paragon crumbled I was going to offer salvation. I mean, those poor children would probably all be sent away to prisons in their respective countries! Doomed to face what ever horrible consequence Paragon had saved them from. How could I let the survivors get thrown into the abyss? So, I took up the torch, bringing the students to my new school. One where I hoped they'd be safe and wished that they'd change their ways. Though, one can't always get what they want right? I got my wish granted, I saved them from a worse fate. But, perhaps this environment was not a good choice for them; Used to the warm of Japan. I brought the students up to Alaska, where it's nice at times.. but it can also become brutal! Freezing winds, deep snow, long nights, also in the middle of nowhere. Though, I did give them some form of freedom, after all you can't keep teenagers caged in an arctic wonderland! Freedom to travel into town.. to go skiing and to adventure in the area.
Freedom gains trust and trust brings harmony..
The foolish words of an overly trusting principal. I know where I made my mistakes, but I also try to keep them from happening again. Though, I guess that doesn't always happen. I mean, trusting all of the students and teachers? Sounds difficult, right? I was overly trusting, which led to so many 'incidents'. Trusting the students lead them to believe they could do whatever they wanted. Not quite what I wanted, but its never too late to change, right? Right! With the trouble makers, the good students, and all those in between.. I believe there can be some change in the world! I mean, with whatever is to come our way, there will people who know how to handle themselves. Instead of panicking we will have those who take action. What makes a strong person is not always just a good history without breaking the rules, it could also be someone who lived a tough life and learned from their mistakes.
For those with a rough start on their pathway to adulthood, I open these doors.
There is always room for change, you just need to find it.

After all... that did happen.
Many wish it hadn't...
So many people died and many were injured!
The school was destroyed in the attack...
Paladins...
Though from the ruins of the past, a new future can be built.
