[i]Thursday, After School, April 16th[/i]

The past few days had literally flown by. Noboru had completed a startling vanishing act and to add a new question, a guy named Matthew had gone missing. A gaijin like him and apparently president of the more famous Agriculture Club. 

The reports had said that he was kidnapped and that police were still looking for traces. Alexei was a bit concerned about the recent developments so he had set up for a co-worker to pick up his sister from school and drop at the hospital with his mother. That's be the last thing he would be able to contend with. She was too precious to him to not panic a bit with the new developments.

He also had decided to make changes to her daily schedule and incorporate some self defense lessons. Maybe get her excited to be Inoue's sparring buddy.

Because there was Drama on today, he wanted to be on time for once. Ensuring that Sagat would be walking Inoue home, he walked out of the lecture room straight to the practicing room.

As he walked into the room, it was still empty. He threw his bag on one of the chairs and took a look around the whole hall. Though it wasn't that grand or regal, still it had considerable size. He raised his arms beside him and inhaled deeply. He wouldn't want anyone to crash on this moment but that hardly concerned him enough to drop his pose.

The last practice was still vaguely in his mind. He wanted his impression to change on the stern president. He arched his back and looked towards the ceiling as his entire form seemed to emanate a certain oppressive force. Like a hawk just before grabbing his prey, Alexei stood there with his open, thick log-like arms and an expression of relief.

This club somewhat helped in washing away all the tension that regularly piled upon him.
