Kyouma stood up from the chair in front of his desk, stretching his arms as he stared down at the pile of textbooks in front of him. How long had it been since he had started studying again...? Glancing furtively at the clock on his wall, Kyouma sighed and massaged his forehead. From 6 in the morning all the way to now... Geez, this school seriously didn't let up with the workload at all, now did it? At the sound of his stomach grumbling, Kyouma sighed and quickly changed out of the bedclothes he was wearing into something more... Presentable. A white T-shirt and a set of blue jeans didn't exactly scream "Nagatenjouki Student!" to him, but that was perfectly fine. Being associated with that school on the streets was just asking for trouble, which he much prefer to avoid. Grabbing his wallet and slipping it into his pocket, Kyouma left his dorm room with as little noise as possible. Didn't want to disturb the others doing... Well, whatever it was that they did.

The streets of Academy City were as they usually were, with machines buzzing around alongside people as if they were equals in standing. It was a novelty that he never really got tired of, though the janitor bots coming too close for comfort every so often was always annoying to deal with. As he pondered where to go pick up some food for the day (thank GOD for city-funded school credit cards), Kyouma flinched. A loud, ear-piercing scream caused him to turn towards the source of the noise, but he was immediately interrupted by a girl rushing off to the alleyway from which it came from.

Well, she might not have looked like a Judgment member, but who was he to judge appearances? She probably had the situation under control...

That being said, though, what placed served good food at this time of day?
