An instant moment of Taiki greatness to the field.
Ria let her pride as a level 5 get in the way. "Burn me alive? You think you can burn me, Absolute Zero? Me a level 5?" Emitting her AIM fields which are cold. A cryokinetic polarity like stasis aura compresses into Ria. Her AIM fields have cooling properties. By freezing the moisture around the air. It is then Ria creates the aura compressed shield into her body. Thermal diffusion occurs as the kinetic energy field is converted as the aura armor. Like this but covering her body She wastes no time by tampering with the air and launches hail and shards. "You should know. This only 10% of my power. My personal reality enables me to create such cryokinetic aura or field. Anything that comes in contact to me. Freezes. Such a shame that I have to hold back."

Ueno didn't have much of an idea about what she was babbling on about. He never had to memorize any codes or equations for him to use his flames, it was all something he could do naturally and on a whim. So this Gemstone couldn't exactly talk back about how he was going to kick her ass in a certain way, or even try too. However, before he could even try to speak he remembered he himself wasn't able to fight full force either. 'Damnit, you aren't going to be the only one holding back you know '. To not have his suit in a situation like this was unforgivable. At least he had brought his gloves though! So he was not holding back nearly as much as she was, but would that make enough of a difference to give him a chance at victory? Probably not. He wanted to talk trash but he couldn't think of anything to say in return, so he just looked pissed and slightly embarrassed.

As soon as the shards start to fly at him, Ueno uses his flames to jump into the air. He wasn't fast enough though, and a few of them pierce his arms and chest through his shirt. But nothing was able to get through his pants or boots. Once in the air above Ria he propels his feet back, turning his body around. Once his head and arms are the ones facing the ground, he uses his torch skill as he falls towards her. An extremely intense flame projects itself up to three feet in front of him as he falls. However the heat could burn even if you weren't close to it, the unprotected skin over the rest of Ueno's arms were starting to burn slightly before he was even close to Ria.

Nishihara Kei
Cafeteria, Hybrid Academy

I was happy at Seiji giving me permission to accompany him. I had been skipping on my cooking ever since the first day, and that was a golden opportunity to pick it up again. Sensei would kill me if word of that skipping reached the Amakusa, and I very much appreciated breathing. "Ah, I don't really have anyone to bring along anyway." I answered as he asked if I would bring anyone else.

As Seiji went for the vending machine, I took the opportunity to eat my sandwich and scan my surroundings a bit. A commotion seemed to be brewing on the other corner of the cafeteria, but I resolved not to interfere. It was probably just ice stripper up to her antics yet again.

When Seiji returned and poured tea into his rice, I could only think "why didn't I think of that?". I was pretty sure that beat my sandwich in taste. Seiji's question about what I wanted to make caught me by surprise. "It's not that there's something in particular I want to make..." I started answering and bit my lip. How would I explain sensei's cooking training obsession without seeming insane? "Let me show you." I grabbed my bag which had been resting against my seat and searched for that notebook in it. Thankfully, I had indeed brought it with me. "Take a look at this. I need to cook at least something from that once per day." I offered Seiji the notebook.

The notebook seemed to be just like any other, but the first page was where things started getting weird with the title "ULTRA TRAINING COOKBOOK". It contained a large collection of instructions on how to cook different dishes. The ingredient lists were normal, but the instructions were insanely specific. For instance, a certain recipe would ask for the meat to be precisely cut into cubes of 1.5cm size. Another one would instruct to slice half an onion twelve times in less than 5 seconds. All recipes in it were graded according to difficulty and how good training material they were. It was sensei's idea of "training" in all things.

@PKMNB0Y

Ray strolled outside into the courtyard and sighed. He looked back at the lab building with a set of sorrowful eyes. He had told Anderson off in a fit of anger becaise of his stupidity. Although his use of sense was unbased, he still did not deserve it. Oh, so now your regretful, that's sort of sad don't ya think. Ray chuckled to himself. "Is it really sad to be sorry about something?" Ray mumbled to himself. That depends of the circumstances. And this is one of those circumstances when it is sad. He deserved it, he choose to follow his heart, not use his brain. "Sometimes following you heart is not so bad." He said so himself. So now your going back on your own principals. Ray sighed and shook his head, standing here and arguing with himself was getting him nowhere.

Ray looked twoards the cafeteria and felt his stomach grumble. He unfortunately had not taken breakfast, this would have been the perfect opportunity for him to indulge himself. What about your patrol partner? "I'll take it to go." he ansered with a smile. Ray started off to the cafeteria and in a few strides he was in front of the doors. He could here a commotion coming from the inside. Ray raised and eyebrow, was there a food fight? Even if there was, he was supposed to stop it anyway.

Ray took a deep breath and yanked open the doors. Ray could not explain the scene that was taking place on the inside. Absolute was half naked and was launching icicles at another boy who used flames to counter the attack. Ray noticed that teachers were inside that cafeteria, so it must have been allowed. Ray shrugged and walked right through the fight, dodging the fire and ice, using the wind to push the incoming attacks away from him. "Sorry." He said as he waved and Absolute and the fire man. Maybe your social skills are worse than I originally predicted. Ray grabbed his generic rice and fish and walked through the fight once again, dodging the attacks again. He did notice the floating tabled but ignored them, if the teacher was here, then it must have been allowed. Ray took a seat not to far from the fight and began eat his lunch. Maybe your should stop them. "Nah." He said to himself despondently. "I would rather enjoy the fight." He mumbled quietly. This was a perfect way for him to get rid of his guilty feelings.

Akuma

Akuma quirked an eyebrow at the boy's one word response. Not much of a conversationalist, is he? he mused as he got into a ready position. He focused his attention on his opponent, then bolted forward like a bat out of hell, blood forming around his arm to create a larger, cruder version of it. Once he got closer to the meat-sack, he'd slam the appendage down on top of him, using the momentum of the blow to vault himself over the individual.

When Akuma lands on the other side, the blood construct dissolves back into liquid and floats around him defensively, prepped to defend against any counter attacks his opponent may have in store.

@NarayanK

@Raijinslayer



The white-haired boy was quite fast. He somehow managed to go through Bang's keen sight, though Bang did manage to raise his gloves to block the attacks, straining his arms to propel the attack away from him. They didn't even pick a place to fight yet...

At last, this opponent was not as fast as Baxton. With that said, the person seemed intent on counter-attacking right after he vaulted himself over him for some particular reason. Keeping the little vault move in mind, he shuffled his feet once before preparing his idle stance once more. As long as Akuma struck first, he would not receive that much damage due to his quick reflexes.

After all, he defeated a Normalish who defeated a fair amount of Espers. With that said, he knew he had to remain alert if he wanted to remain standing. Bang decided not to try out Berserker Rage on Akuma, for while it had the potential to instantly end the battle, he did not want to put himself at risk of severely injuring anyone- including himself. Instead, he decided to focus on preparing Exturbo if the battle dragged on.

Bang took a few steps to his side before slowly approaching Akuma.

He then took one large Quagmire Step towards Akuma, stepping right up at his opponent's face, before preparing to strike.

With his bare fists, Bang Constantine instantly sent twenty Phantom Punches at Akuma within two seconds. If the attacks were blocked, he would prepare to use Quagmire again and counter-attack immediately with an uppercut if Akuma decided to attack him instead of backing off for a brief moment to dodge the last of his attacks. If the attacks were not blocked and successfully connected, then Bang would finish the attack with an uppercut anyway.

Exturbo Charge: 1

Sasaki was not the type of person to take advantage of another's worry or kindness, not now or ever. Perhaps it was from some sort of pride or sense of duty as an individual. But on the other hand, it was very good food, fit for a king if he wanted to be overdramatic about it. "Hmm," Sasaki visibly pondered, hand-to-chin, furrowed brow and the whole shebang. However, as he pondered what his answer was to be, Kotori spoke up about attempting to settle the sparks of the flame of combat erupting behind them. Admittedly, though Sasaki was not the type for combat, at least not from his present-day moral standpoint, the itch to watch two combatants shedding blood on the field of battle was a great one. He'd made the choice to abstain from involving himself in such activities, but... that didn't extend to watching, did it?

...Still, it went against the spirit, so Sasaki figured that even that was off-limits. Even if one of the two combatants was one of Academy City's 18 Level 5 espers. It was probably for the best; Sasaki had hated fighting against thermokinetics of the 'not violating the laws of thermodynamics too much'-type, moreso the pyro variety than than the cryo. Convection was a managable factor, but an absolute bitch to close distance against. Same with telekinetics, but at least their abilities didn't sting as much.

Speaking of telekinetics, there was Kotori. He'd upset her with his knee-jerk reaction, definitely. It wasn't exactly an obscure fact, what with the distinct not-using of her telekinesis to return her ball bearings and that bitten lip. It kind of pissed him off that there wasn't much he could do, considering that explaining was liable to tear down everything he'd worked for. Okay, maybe that was a bit too dramatic a statement, but it was a valid concern for the giant. Cooking seemed to be something the girl was passionate about, so why not agree to her suggestion?

It was totally and utterly selfless, and not at all a flimsy justification for a free, tasty meal ticket. No siree.

But first, he watched the events unfold. Kotori seemed to possess more mental fortitude than he'd given her credit for on first impression.

Sasaki sighed and disposed of his unwashed dishes and tray as the tables' screeching passed through his eardrums and began grating on his nerves. How admirable of her, attempting to do something to alleviate increasing tensions between the two belligerents. It was a futile effort, but admirable nonetheless. She'd at least managed to get them to depart from the cafeteria though. Convenient simply because burning the school building down wasn't exactly a desirable outcome. Once most of the students interested in that sort of thing departed - including Kazeno - it left Kotori and Sasaki, along with the two other students.

"Namashiya-chan?" Sasaki piped up, from behind the timid girl, "I'd like to take you up on that offer." He was silent for another moment. "Ara... Good job, that was refreshingly unexpected of you," he added as a maybe-but-unintentionally-insulting afterthought, "Did you, by any chance, know that the girl was Rank 8 of the new Level 5s? You could have gotten hurt pretty bad, coming between an angry Five and her opponent like that." He spoke of that thought like one would of the weather: completely and utterly nonchalantly.

"Fortunately they kept a..." sunglasses "...cool-head."

@Feisty-Pants

"-And Tabasco-Man goes in for A METEOR DRIVE!! we're in for an INTENSE battle here ladies and gentlemen!!"

Taiki was standing on two giant speakers that seemed to have come out of nowhere with a mic in hand. He had comfortably took the role of the announcer riling up the audience for each and every move played in the impromptu match.

A small number of the students watching, however, were more interested in other smaller details.

"Those stereos weren't there before..."

"More importantly, What's powering up this thing!? I don't see any wires."

Kotori - Not-so-Invisible Songbird

The steel tables that lingered between the two cantankerous children remained just so until the middle-school aged Esper decided to intervene. Quickly, rumors murmured through the cafeteria, and it was soon discerned that he in fact was actually a teacher! Kotori's face paled upon this realization as his gaze affixed upon her briefly. She had been noticed by a faculty member? SHE HAD BEEN NOTICED BY A FACULTY MEMBER?! So much for trying to just skate by in classes and remaining as invisible as possible! Immediate dread filled her mind as she watched the group walking away from the cafeteria.

A final glance from the teacher made her cower as the tables were smoothly placed back to where they belonged; ending the use of her telekinetic ability rather abruptly while the crowd filed out. From what she saw in front of her, almost the entire group had filed out to watch the fight. A slow sigh escaped her, it seemed that the school itself was not much different from daily society.

Everyone loves a good bloody fight. Except for her. Sadly had never been a fan of fighting, and had considered it a waste of time which could be spent aspiring to greater heights. Except for a scant scattering of other students spread throughout the cafeteria, she had assumed that her both table-mates had left as well to observe the inevitable chaos.

That was until a voice piped up behind her.

Visibly jumping in surprise, she spun about in her seat to see the towering Sasaki standing now in front of her. With his acceptance of her offer to a daily breakfast, she nodded quietly as she cleaned up her polished bento box and sharply closed it. Tucking it back into her bag and hefting the leather-bound strap onto her shoulder, Kotori looked up to Sasaki as he casually talked about what she had done. She had known that they were both distinctly powerful people, Esper, Magician, Hybrid or otherwise; however, she didn't know about their rank. Wide-eyed in surprise as her mouth fell slightly agape, she could only stammer a response.

"I-I had n-n-no idea. I only did what I thought was right...t-to try and get the fight to an end or to get it so that other people wouldn't get hurt. Why...why a teacher was allowing that to p-proliferate was beyond me." She put meekly at last, glancing up to the boy before bowing her head to cover her face with her bangs. "S-SO! I...er, other than being able to eat mountains of food, what is your power? Since I s-showed you mine, it's only fair right?"

With a suddenly horrified expression and realizing that she might have been a little too intrusive, her hands raised disarmingly in a frantic waving motion. "But you don't have to if you don't want to! Sorry! I-I think I have class soon. I'll stop being a bother!" Bowing slightly, she hastily strode for the cafeteria's exit. So miserably worried was she that the studious girl didn't realize she had forgotten something.

Instead, she relentlessly bombarded herself in her thoughts as she departed.

You screwed up again! What are you doing? Only ask things if they volunteer to answer your questions, you dolt!

She had left her Grimm Fairytales on the cafeteria table.

@Grey
@Styrgwyr

Tsumiki found his way to the cafeteria, following Ray's trail again. He walked calmly, seemingly unaware of the fight raging around them. Even when an icicle was flung straight at him, he somehow stumbled and made it miss him. Finally he sat down next to Ray and leaned his head in his hand, seeming utterly confused.

"Sorry I took so long getting here, I got knocked over by... something. I don't even know what happened actually."

Anderson had set up a makeshift stand for bets in a surprisingly short amount of time, complete with a whiteboard for keeping track of the bets, decoration and girls in bunny costumes. Close by there was a refreshment stand selling drinks and snacks with maids manning the post. A few mean-looking men in sharp suits stood close by to both of the stands as more and more people came towards them, even without them saying a thing, everyone knew who they were. If it was one thing that was coming out of Anderson right now, it would be his Vegas side, "Alright ladies and gentlemen and people I won't care to name, step right up and let's bet! Who will win? The ice girl I'd hire in a strip club or the hot-headed punk who'd I'd hire in a gay strip club?"

"How did he set all of this up in such short time?"
"First stereos, now this..."
"I wonder if any of the bunnygirls will give me their numbers, I'm calling dibs on the American!"
"How many times as he done this to built it up so fast?"

Anderson grinned to himself as a horde of student flooded his stands, waving money and shouting out their bets, Too many times now. The bunnygirls and maid dashed, handing out drinks and slips of paper, occasionally "loosing" some of the money to a hidden box under the counter. The nice men in suits made sure nothing got too hectic as Anderson went back to broadcasting, "Streaker versus Something-creative-that-relates-to-fire-and-starts-with-a-S! Who will win this barely-legal fight? Place your bets here folks, double or nothing, triple or nothing or nothing at all, I've got you covered!"
One brave loli bunnygirl climbed up next to Anderson and shouted out, "If you sign up for our Highroller Platinum cards, get twice the money you bet back!"
The now-sizable crowd shouted many things at once. Some related to money, some about the loli on the counter, some about the maids and bunny girls.

Anderson looked at the current standing, surprisingly, they were about even.
"Everyone loves an underdog huh? Good thing I already know who wins."

Ria Theme
The aura cryostasis shield filters out the heat which makes Ria defend from Ueno's heat based attacks.Keeping the distance out by creating an ice jump which is an ice pole, Ria creates ice platforms to run about and get behind a distance from the pyromaniac.Ria smiled as she continuously drops the temperature to a fair level, "-5 degrees celsius, -40 degrees Fahrenheit... At this temperature, water freezes... I could go on. The colder the temperature drops, the further it deprives heat energy." Ria explains how her power works once more while seating on an ice sculpture shaped like a throne with legs crossed.




Still sitting on her throne, "If you ask me, why am I not being deprived from heat? That's because of the thermal resistance I have or better we could call it as cold resistance via my aura. Furthermore to some degree I am able to filter enough heat to sustain from the inside and give me sufficient oxygen." Ria explains her polar shield more.

"Enough description. I find it stupid that we're fighting over little things but I thank you for letting me off some steam, you're kinda cute if you ask me. Haven't I forget that I love anime? There's this anime I love, a classic one for our age and this era, magical girls and swords of bones, as perverted as it sounds, I still have to bring justice for my light novel." A fast whirl of ice whirl around Ria as the whirling ice, she creates sculptures of ice swords, detailed, and refined. "I call this move.... Unlimited: Zeroth Destruction Blade Dance. Ria flicks her wrist and the detailed ice blades launches to the pyromaniac.

Ueno's Theme

Before Ueno could even focus on Ria, other events had started popping up around them. The first thing that he noticed was Taiki spouting bullshit. 'Meteor Drive? Don't give my attacks suck shitty names!' he thought to himself. Not only was he spouting crap, but he had some speakers and a mic to back him up. Ueno could only hope he didn't talk often, he was already struggling as it was. Having his voice strangle Ueno's ears would only make matters worse. He quickly wondered if the ice and temperatures around Ria made it harder to hear others, but dismissed it. He didn't know much about either and he needed to keep his mind on the fight. Which apparently was being used for by Anderson. Ueno would have turned to see what was up with him, but before he could do so Ria had started to explain her attacks and prepared her next move.

The temperature was falling quite a bit, and Ueno could feel it even where he was standing. Had the cool breeze not meant bad tidings for Ueno, he would have taken the chance to enjoy it. However he could not do so. Blah blah Farhenheit, blah deprives heat, bleh. Ueno had already started to ignore what she was saying for the most part. She was on a throne of ice and he needed to penetrate her defenses. But his offense wasn't enough to penetrate it, even if he had his suit and was fighting at 100% he didn't know if his biggest torch would stand a chance against her. Then, suddenly, she had called him cute. It threw him off a bit, but his mental balance remained. His sour expression twitched, but otherwise there wasn't any signals that he had even cared about what she had said.

She yapped on more so, and then pulled a very dangerous move straight out of some shit she had seen on TV. Ice blades flew at him, they looked quite sharp and probably would bang him up quite a bit if he couldn't avoid them. Ueno quickly propelled himself farther away from her, and then fell to the ground. He had twisted himself so he could land on his feet, and then stuck his palms out in front of him and started spewing a wave of flames. The innermost center of it was the torch, while surrounding the torch was a column of fire that raised up from the ground. Once some of the ice blades flew into the flames they had dulled and had lost some of their damage potential. Plus, with the way fire was flowing out away from Ueno, they also lost velocity. Unfortunately some of them still packed quite the punch, and others that came from different angles still possessed a sharp edge. While only a small fraction of the blades had hit him, he couldn't take many more waves of them. But he wouldn't let Ria know that. "Hey, you otaku fuck! You call that an attack? I can take this shit for years!"

Seiji stopped eating his ochazuke for a moment as Kei placed a book in front of him. It seemed to be a normal notebook, but as he flipped through it Seiji found himself slightly intrigued by its contents. The recipes were quite... Detailed, to put it one way or another. But what kind of recipe called for such exact measurements...?

"Well... It's... Quite detailed." he said, flipping through the notebook carefully. "But these seem a bit too precise for normal recipes, to be honest. I admire your dedication to cooking and all, but isn't this going a bit too far?"

Shrugging, Seiji closed the book and handed it back to Kei before being interrupted by the chaos nearby. That certainly didn't bode well- not for him or for anyone else nearby.

"I think we should probably leave before this situation gets a bit too... Out of hand, so to speak." he said, finishing the rest of his ochazuke and moving the finished bowl and tray (and the empty can of tea) as he stood up and put on his backpack. "We can talk about this somewhere with a bit less chaos, I'd hope."

@Kyun

Sasaki blinked twice as his companion fled the room in a rushed panic after asking him literally the most benign question ever. "...But Namashiya-chan..." Sasaki murmured to the air in front of him, "How can I answer your question when you run?" Snarking to the air in front of him aside, the ex-Skill-Out was somewhat worried that he'd done something to offend the girl's sensibilities somehow. Of course, there was the chance that she was just being timid and embarrassed about the whole debacle, knowing what he did was enough to know the girl didn't quite deal with people as proficiently as some others. In that case, he should probably leave her alone and let her rid herself of steam. Or perhaps find her, let her know that he was there to listen to her problems, but such a feat came dangerously close to stereotypically shoujo.

Not allowing such a thing to bother him too much, he returned to their table to get his laptop bag. In the process he spotted the book that Kotori had been reading before he and Kazeno had decided to approach her. "..?" he made a face and slid the book across the table to himself, reading the title. It contained katakana, indicating a Western word. 'Grim Fairytales?' Sasaki thought quizzically, popping open the table of contents to see what was so 'grim' about these titles. Nothing was very out of the ordinary: 'The Seven Ravens', 'The Children of Hamelin', 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Hansel and Gretel'... These couldn't be that grim, could they?

Sasaki cracked open to a story called 'The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was' and began reading. It didn't take too long for Sasaki's face to become increasingly unsettled, brow furrowed and eyes widening with everyword. Upon finishing the tale of the young man on his quest to find fear which ended in marrying a king's daughter. The details of that particular story were... peculiar to say the least, but not entirely unexpected considering the title. 'King Bluebeard' sounded fairly nonsensical, so he turned to that. He got to the part about butchering wives when he finally spoke up.

"...What the actual fuck?" Sasaki exclaimed, flipping to 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'. Surely this one would be more child appropriate yes? He'd seen the Disney film, so by extent it should be---

"..."

He slammed the book shut and placed it in his bag. It wasn't his place to judge people for their interests. Nopenopenope.

He exited the cafeteria, shaking the judgements from his mind. Not his place, not his place.

...Maybe he'd go read some more of that book later?

"10% of my power, shakes my head? That makes me sound like a poor villain who became evil just because of a small thing. Like how I know this masked villain who became evil just because his crush friendzoned him as well as a guy from the future with darkness powers, he became evil because the cold killed his cat. Now I sound so insane lol but I don't mean it." Ria still seats in her ice throne, making references to the anime she watched. "Looking at you makes me melt but you staring at me, makes me melt faster, don't stare at me, I might get pregnant." Ria blushes.

Ueno was a little lost in her comments about 10%. He hadn't been paying too much attention to those who were talking around them, the only one who he really payed any attention too was Taiki, and thats because he was loud as balls. He scratched his head, he really didn't know what she was talking about. Was it because he wasn't exactly cultured when it came to modern entertainment? He considered it, but chances leaned towards Ria just being some giant hipster. " Could you stop spewing out bullshit? And do you have any idea how a vagina works? Ueno didn't know she was making any kind of reference, all he knew was that she sounded handicapped. But that didn't matter, he would indulge her wish for conversation, he needed the time for respite anyway.

"Tabasco head used Inappropriate language"

Oh it makes the ice princess red even more, "................." It was dead silence at the moment. She couldn't even retaliate. Then she focuses all the cold stuff in her left hand and stomps her feet which makes a blizzard to pin him down. Ria with the gathered force in her left hand leaves her vulnerable and open. "How about let's end this....KAKAKAKAKAKKHKAKHAHKAKHDAKDAKHADKADHKDAHKAKHAKAKAA!"

"It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!!...depending on where you look at it."

Ueno was scared shitless for about five seconds, he hadn't expected to be pinned down. And whatever was in her hand was making him nervous. He was also starting to freeze up a bit, and the possibility of getting frostbite was quite high. In a panic, he used his left hand and covered it with flames, and hit Ria's frost-enhanced hand.

And it commenced. Ria's hand got slapped which cancels out her hyped scary attack. She looks at Ueno, "Ha?" With a blank space in her expression. Then she blushed again but tries to regain the composure she had a while ago, "What am I doing? Starting a fight just because of something I worked hard for. True I cherished my 2 weeks of creating that novel I have. What am i doing? Even so, how would you feel if your hard work gets shattered right before your very eyes?" "I give up." She fell into her knees, losing the will to fight after the erotic things that Ueno said.

"Oh what's this!?!? The fight's over!?!? BOOOOO!!!"

Well, Ueno was breathless. He was exhausted and had burns all over his arms, visiting the doctor was the next task on his to-do list. He replayed her words in his head and honestly couldn't exactly figure out why she gave up. If anything Ueno would have been even more pissed. ' Those level 5 gears turn in strange ways' trying to figure out her thinking patterns would kill more brain cells then connect, so he let the question rest. Once Ria was on her knees, Ueno stood up. "Hey, uh, you ok there? Ueno instantly regretted asking that, but his parent's values hammered their way out of his mouth.

"Do I look like I'm okay? Hmph! I'm better than okay because I'm not saying that I don't look okay, I look okay before I even know I look okay like how it sounds cocaine and I don't look okay before I even know I don't look okay." She mumbled. "Besides... I'm not going to apologize just because of this, you're the one who should apologize and messed with my two week novel, you know hard it is to write when you have all your ideas brainstormed into a novel." How complicated it just gets, the reverse psychology she's doing to express herself. She stands up and looks at him nonchalantly like as if nothing has happened. "Hey, you don't have a choice. You're gonna join the Manga Club from now on and help out when needed... rather....you're an exception. You messed with my stuff so you gotta repay me. By the way, can I borrow your clothes?" She asked while giving a freezing stare.... "ZZzZzZzZzZzZzZz"

"Wait, what!? Seriously? This is how it's going to go?"


Ueno's breathing intensified. This was better then having a level 5 hate him, he guessed, but joining the shitlord club wasn't exactly high on his bucket list either. Well, Ueno sucked up some of his pride, while also trying to save himself from losing all of his remainign dignity. " Well, I am sorry about ruining your book, or novel, or whatever it was. But I would really, really, really, rather not join your club. Are you sure there isn't some alternative? Like, please?" Ueno looked up and down at himself before responding to the last bit. "Also, if anything i need to get some new clothes myself. I don't have any on me to spare!"

Then she twitched, "AND WHAT OF IT?" She has a scary smile and goes closer to him, pressing herself, she lets out a cold steam out of her mouth, sighing. "You better join or else I'll freeze 'it.'" Ria showing her scary side.

Fuuuuck . Ueno didn't have a choice in the matter, it looks like he was joining that manga club. "Alright, I'm in. When does it start?"

She smirked.
Not telling him any further detail

"... And THAT! Uhhh....Is how you make friends, my beloved stude- argh screw this"

Taiki threw his mic, clearly frustrated.

After Absolute Zero's little ordeal things had seemed to settle down. This was pretty much the perfect time. "Wow~ That was such a funny show Zero-chan." A young woman spoke with a slight giggle as she sort of just appeared beside Ria. She took a step forward into the ice girl's line of vision and began to walk backwards directly in front of the level five. "I just couldn't stop laughing the whole way through. Tell me. Was it fun? Did you hold back?" She asked a few more questions, but most of them were fairly quick and hard to understand. Interestingly enough, she'd yet to even introduce herself. Yet she was firing off questions and speaking to the esper as though she had known her for years.

"Ohh~ By the way. Why were you fighting? I had kind of missed that part." She continued to move, though now she was circling Absolute Zero. "Comeoncomeoncomeon~" She giggled. She didn't want Ria to leave out a single detail. "Tell me what I wanna know and I'll be sure to reward you for being a good girl." She had finally stopped, now walking directly behind Ria. "O~K~A~Y~?" She seemed to enunciate each letter of the word as she reach around the now apparently dubbed 'Zero-chan' and groped her breasts. This girl apparently had no eye or care for personal space.

---------------------------------------



Hikaru was strolling down the hall. Which hall? Didn't matter. He was calm. Yes he. He was currently in his male form. He had spent most of his day slacking off, avoiding people, but he had figured perhaps it would be good to show up for something. So he was one his way to the auditorium. He was supposed to go their right? Oh who knew in this world. He sighed and looked around. The school seemed rather active today. "Oh man. I miss all the fun." He said calmly as he took another glance. Who could he approach? Would it be fun? Maybe? Who knew? He felt like making a new friend or two. Or simply getting on good terms with just about everyone. Still he wasn't so sure yet. He'd just arrived. "This might be more fun than I thought." He grinned. Despite his uncertainty, he was still eager. If he hadn't been he wouldn't have been him though, so this was a plus.

((Sorry... Um... Almost everyone seems to have the banner things... I's no idea how to make them or mess with paint or anything XD SO... Gonna post now :P))

Kotori Namashiya - An Invisible Songbird

With the continuing self-induced barrage of insults toward her own conscience, the timid songbird hastily walked through the hallways. Desperate to escape the scene of yet another perceived mistake, she paid little mind or heed to exactly where she was supposed to be going. The school itself was a huge institution, and she who was rather poor when it came to the challenge of acquiring direction as to where to go, she was bound to eventually fail. Clutching onto the leather strap of her bag and trying to fight the regret that had begun to infest her mind, Kotori jumped nearly a startled mile when the announcement bell roared over all the dulled murmur that was hallway conversation.

The jarring declaration ordered all of the students to an auditorium. Naturally, Kotori's face completely sank as a result. She was going to have to venture to a giant room that would be filled with all of her peers?! So horrified was she that she was rendered almost beyond speechless! Not only that, but she had no idea where the Auditorium actually was located!

Panicking for a few seconds, she quickly realized an ingenious way to solve her predicament. IF the entire student body was supposed to be heading there, she only needed to simply follow the people that were already immediately on their way! Falling into stride at the rear of a particularly large group of students, the Songbird nervously followed them and for once her plan actually worked! Striding into the red carpeted lane that lined the Auditorium's walkways, the quiet girl frantically sought for a seat that she might actually be able to have some peace in.

From the appearance of the initial arrangements, the majority of students had begun to file towards the front. That was her chance! She could do just the exact opposite with hopefully moderate success! Nimbly working her way to the side, she side stepped her way to sanctuary at the back of the Auditorium. The very back. With the furthest seat away from the stage in the furthest right-hand corner.

Phew...

Tucking her skirt beneath her bottom as she gracefully slid to sit down, she found at least a little comfort in the seat. Steadfastly she would stare forward to ignore the odd look or two she got from other members of the student body, and she thanked the stars for this moment of relief! This Auditorium was actually quite massive, there was no way that all of the students would be able to reach the seating all the way back as she had done! Now, in these precious lingering moments, she could discern a chance to read her book.

Digging around in her bag for a brief moment, the absence of a particularly rough hewn binding made her skin turn white. Opening the flap and dipping the entirety of her face into the bag fearfully, she realized that she had forgotten it in the Cafeteria! That meant, oh no. She was stuck here and it was still quite probably abandoned there for anyone to take! Biting her own lip and being horrified at the very thought, especially with how graphic the Grim Fairytales could be, she could only imagine the social life disaster that was about to emerge. Wild thoughts coursed through her mind of frantically impossible possibilities.

What if a teacher found it?

What if that SHOTA TEACHER FOUND IT?!

WHAT IF THE SCHOOL THOUGHT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE READING MATERIAL AND I'M ABOUT TO GET CALLED OUT IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!?!?

Her face flushed in horror at the very thought of the innumerable terrors as she ducked her head and embraced her bag. Her only friend had betrayed her, at least she thought. The book must have just fallen out of her bag. Even then, this wasn't good. Her name was written on the inside of the front cover! It was her book. Gods no. Why did this of all things have to happen now?! What had she done to deserve such a karmatically cruel fate?! Not only that, but she had already driven away a prospective friend?!

What kind of awkwardly social failure was she?!

Kishiko Tachibana
"Ah forgive it seems that we have to do this another time" Kishiko said as she started to pack up the items used and placed the dishes away in to wash later. "Bell should be ringing soon it was a pleasure to meet you Yuuma" she continued one with a slight bow as she packed her items away and headed out the door. "This was quite a pleasant day" she muttered aloud as she walked down the hallway should be interesting to see what this school will bring next she thought.

Aria Fabre
"There seemed to have been quite a commotion" Aria muttered to herself as she heard people talk as she walked down the hall to her next class. She was busy burying a jar of varnish for her violin she was working on and seemed to have lost track of time. "Still hope this is the right combination this time" she once again muttered aloud. Holding her violin case tightly in her hand she walked to the classroom perhaps later on she should play a song to fit the more chaotic mood of the academy she thought to herself and let out a small giggle. She heard some singing earlier as she was digging a large enough hole for her varnish and had to admit the person seemed to have a good singing voice. Turning around she could help but look as she saw what seemed to be a girl groping the level 5's breasts trying her best to ignore it she slipped on what seemed to be a wet floor and ended up tumbling into a crash.
