Excited. Put simply, that single word was the best and most accurate description of Shiro's expression as he sat on the sidelines observing the sparring matches. Pure, raw, unadulterated excitement. As his fight with Daniel was one of the first matches, he was afforded the wonderful opportunity of witnessing nearly all of the following matches. At first, he was more concerned with the immediate maintenance of his weapons and attempting to sort out exactly how he had won at his match. But, as the fights rolled on he quickly forgot his worries and put his weapons maintenance aside. Procrastinating, he'd care for them later. As he sheathed his weapons and somehow ending up hugging them in his arms, his golden-hazel eyes were drawn to the other sparring matches. His curiosity piqued, interest attracted and gaze held, he sat in silence as he took in the other fights.

Gradually, as he sat there quietly and respectfully watching, his energy and excitement levels grew and grew. The longer the fights dragged on, the more one could see the visible changes to Shiro. Starting with his ears and tail, they began to twitch and wag restlessly. His eyes grew big and wide until they caught the light and practically sparkled and gleamed. His face froze with his mouth agape in stunning awe at the abilities of his fellow students. Each of them had their own unique fighting style, each of them had such unique Semblances that made witnessing each fight a fresh and new experience. His excitement at its peak, Shiro was basically having a controlled seizure. He bounced and shook in his seat so violently that the nearby students gave him a wide berth. Fearing that, like a ticking time bomb, he would explode into white and fluffy tiger bits. And 'explode' he did. After Diamond's sound defeat by Mokuren, when it was his teammate Abel's turn to bat, he erupted into bellowing cheers and whoops. Though Abel lost to Robert, it was all still a good show. He was impressed with the fluid and swift blows he dished out. Rayna and Priscilla's fight was the most confusing to him, the forfeiting back and forth at least. He could never understand those who gave up or threw matches. Priscilla's eventual hogtie and 'peep show' ended with Rayna defeating her. The moment Shiro realized what would happen Priscilla's skirt, he politely shut his eyes and covered them with a paw until he was certain she was decent. To spare her at least a little dignity.

Victor's defeat by Greyson started to agitate him, he hated the quick and short matches where not much happened. Those fights teased him and only served to draw out his annoyance. Ivan and Merlin's fight was so magnificent that he actually quieted for a short while. The glorious and creative attacks were so awe-inspiring that left Shiro nearly salivating. Marcus' defeat of Geni intrigued him the most. From the whispers of the other students surrounding him, Marcus' main weapon was something akin to a mobile tank that he wasn't allowed to utilize. Armed with only a revolver and his wits, Shiro was intensely impressed by Marcus' victory over Geni with such a large handicap. To be quite honest, for some reason even he couldn't explain, when it was Gren's turn to fight Shiro cheered, hooped, and hollered his loudest. He had no idea that gentle and kind, walking fortress of a man had such a vicious fighting spirit to him. A part of him couldn't help but wonder that he'd witnessed this before. Even though Gren had lost and appeared hurt, Shiro thoroughly enjoyed nearly all of the matches thus far.

Once built up, Shiro could hardly contain his joy and jubilation. Loudly yelling and cheering or sometimes even bursting into fits of uncontrollable laughter. A few times the students around him attempted to hush him, to which he responded by making an odd face, sticking his tongue out at them, and blowing raspberries. Eventually, the students just decided to leave the hyperactive Tiger Faunus alone to his glee and merry-making. Checking the time on his Scroll, he saw that there was a little bit left for a few more fights. Thinking about it, he had yet to see Sapphire's match or the one of the few Fox Faunus ladies who caught his eye..Even still, he had the biggest, whitest grin on his face. Giggling and snickering to himself uncontrollably, it was easy to say that Shiro was enjoying himself.
