High Schools in Chromatik High School Gridiron - Origins Behind the Unique Mascots, Part 7
Coastal District
Wildlife Conference
East Rhoni High School Kayaks - Welcome to the banks of the Aurora River, the longest river in Chromatika that runs from Rhoni down to past Sanar, cutting Chromatika in two pieces from the northeast to the southwest. Located right on the banks, East Rhoni has won the high school kayaking and white water sports title more than any other school in the country, also having produced most of Chromatika's Olympic athletes in the sport. They feature a different kayak that was used by an alumni as the mascot every year.
Lhor Central High School Flying Jellyfish - The Flying Jellyfish is a street name given to a particular kind of jellyfish that looks like it's flying when it's floating near the water. There are many groups of this kind of jellyfish near Lhor. Lhor Central wanted a mascot that grabbed your attention but did not give you anxiety; this seems like the perfect fit for a school that wants to make sure that its students are floating near the top and also flying through the air in terms of results.
Rhoni School of Architecture Gradients - Architecture has a lot of different units of measurement - and gradient is one of the terms used. A high school with an emphasis on everything architecture related, RSoA excels in math, the sciences, and drawing. There are contests held every quarter with the winner being given grants by cities, districts, and even the Chromatik government itself to get certain buildings constructed according to the student's design, with a portion of the proceeds going to the student's college fund. On the field, their mascot is an image f the four quadrants, which has reportedly given the opposing team panic when reminded of difficult math questions.
Anderson H. Kim High School Chimera - The chimera is a mythical creature - and Anderson H. Kim High School has a renowned program in mythology of any culture. With different costumes for each face that a chimera wears, the costume department at Anderson H. Kim High School is better funded than at most other high schools in the country. Every year, the Chimera ends up in the top three list of "Mascots that would most likely win in a fight".
Aqua Conference
City of Larhai High School Rush - By Rush, they mean a color rush - and the color that they pick depends on their mood. The only high school with no limitation on their home uniform -making sure that the road uniform is always white - City of Larhai High School chooses their main color every year. Doesn't it cost a lot of money to change every year? Not really, as they donate their previous year's gear to other less fortunate schools - something that they get funding from the actual city to do.
Coastal Academy of the Arts Sculptures - Which sculpture are they talking about? There's a sculpture - a statue of a blindfolded woman weeping tears with a set of scales on one hand and a scepter on the other, known as the Knowing Mistress - that is the subject of this moniker. This Academy of the Arts focuses more on the things that require more than just being behind a desk, like wall paintings, sculpting, and the like.
Compass Coastal Academy Cartographers - A High School with a dedicated program in cartography? Why not? Chromatika continues to surprise by having weird high school concentrations, and this is no exception. Whether they make city maps, political maps, trail maps, or any other kind of map, the graduates of this academy often times end up at one of Chromatik State University, University of the Islands, University of Wirr Tsi, or Z'ai'ai Institute of Technology to become cartographers in Chromatika.

Chromatika, who had dropped their first game to the Brains, haven't lost since - and kept up their impressive offensive play after only scoring seventeen against United Adaikes. Mio's two touchdowns over Anne Boyer set the tone early, and though Byron Joseph and company were able to hang on for a quarter, Sarai Gwenderyn was simply too much for the Brains once more.
The Iron Legion will finish their play in the Group Stage against Mon Sold, who are surprising second placers in the group, and United Adaikes, who've actually been decent defensively.

"What's your record, Coach?" asked a nervous Lauren, who could hardly believe her luck that she had beaten all the younger collegiate players to be Chromatika's backup.
"My Senior year, I nailed one from sixty-six," replied Sara, reminiscing, "That was a good day."
"Sixty-six?" mouthed Dwayne Markseon, the Northern Moravica University kicker who had won the tryout.
"Yep. Not in a game, though. In a game, I've never had to make one past fifty-nine," offered Sara.
"Welcome to the team, you two," she added, "Well done. Now, until the World Bowl, we'll go over kicking philosophy, how to read the wind, how to deal with pressure, and how to make sure that your mentality never changes."
Then, she turned to Jang Bo-Ah, the kicker who had just missed out.
"See you next year, Bo-Ah," she stated, "I'm sure you'll be back better than ever."
Jang nodded, bowed, and went out, leaving the two Iron Legion kickers with the living, breathing legend.
