As an...enhanced human, his brain moved at a speed higher than that of an average human, which meant that these lessons went by...so...slowly. The teacher, Mr. Akuma's, lesson was slowly droning on and on, each word barely seeming to escape the man's ratnest of a beard. The boy leaned back in his seat, dark orange eyes slowly closing, and then opening, in boredom-induced sleepiness. His notebook was splayed out on his desk, showcasing an intricate page of notes, already having studied on this specific lecture whilst cramming that previous day. [i]'This is ridiculous.'[/i] He thought, leaning forward, and resting his elbow on the wooden surface of the desk, his palm coming up to allow his chin to rest. Bored eyes wandered the class's interior;; Much like him, there were other students slowly dozing off, barely listening to the man's incessant World History rant. Truly, World History, for his age, was a bit of a bad idea. He usually had a lot of patience...but this, this was just straight boring. His mind moved faster...maybe he should have taken something a bit more challenging, like college courses? [u]"And that's why, class, we should always look both ways before we cross the street. Now, have any of you finished your assignment?"[/u] The students around him murmured, and Shēn rose an eyebrow, his eyes finally opening from their barely-opened, half-dazed stare. The assignment...yeah, that's right. They were assigned to write a half-page paper about the, in their opinion, most defining and shocking moment in Neo-City history, specifically, it was supposed to be about a hero, or their favorite hero, more-likely. Basically a lot of nerds wrote a lot of exaggerated things about their favorite super-heroes. You were also supposed to, first, write about your favorite hero in Nero City, and then go on to explain the most defining and shocking moment. This assignment was...a bit of a stretch. However, the other students seemed quite excited, so Shēn sighed under his breath, flipping to a new page on his notebook. Of course, he had ignored the teacher's orders, and ignored this specific assignment. Whatever. His pen tapped against his bottom lip in thought, and the world, in the boy's mind, began to slow down. Pen ink touched paper, and Shēn's hand blurred, perfectly-written cursive blasting across the white paper like a tattoo. As his perception of life began normally again, Shēn, in his hands, held a perfectly-tailored story about the most 'defining moment in history', and his 'favorite hero'. This wasn't really true, of course, for he had no favorite hero, so he basically wrote about why he didn't have a favorite hero. To him, the whole super-hero thing was...well, it seemed like a joke, honestly;; like a cartoon, and the fact that the heroes didn't seem to mind their popularity made it seem much like a chain of publicity stunts, more than actual hero vs criminal justice. He wasn't specifically against heroes, since there were definitely things that regular law enforcement couldn't handle, but he just wished that everything was a bit less...chaotic. Maybe that was his mother speaking. Another student got done with saying his assignment - practically gushing over The Sentry, and then spitting venom about the different super-villains and the chaos they've caused over the years, saying that all of the times they were beaten by The Sentry was the 'most exciting moments in history'. Shēn almost deadpanned, but he kept his thoughts to himself, mentally sighing when the teacher pointed at him. [u]"Mister Hiei, you're up!"[/u] The slightly overweight man said. Shēn stood from his place in the middle of the room, near the window. He wasn't terribly popular, but he wasn't shunned, either. Above-average, in terms of popularity, he guessed. It was mostly because of the few times people saw him easily and simply knocking out some bullies, once they cornered him in the lunchroom for his lunch money, and due to the fact that he often let people borrow his perfect notes. The boy made his way up to the front of the room, turned around, and looked over the class with cool eyes. [b]"Today-"[/b] Alarms began to ring. As students panicked, and the teacher began to evacuate the class, Shēn exhaled softly, dropping his notebook onto the teacher's desk, his assignment open. He glanced around as the class emptied out, before walking over to the window, glancing out into the yards. This was a relatively regular thing, at this time of the year. Villains attacking the school...it was a bit sad, really. He generally followed the others to the bomb shelters, but this time, he didn't really feel like swaying around the jostling and tears of panicking students. Rather, he was a bit curious on what was happening. Hn...he'd check it out. ____________ [b]Shēn Hiei Location;; Academy Roof Tagged;; Metallica Woman (?)[/b] As he arrived on the roof, Shēn was suddenly blasted by strong winds, sending brown hair flying. Bringing up a hand to block the sudden gale, the boy glanced around, his eyes locking onto a feminine figure leaping off of the roof. Brief surprise sent him dashing forward suddenly, and he stopped at the edge, dark orange eyes widening slightly when a figure in a suit landed on the concrete pavement. So...the person was a hero, then? Not one he recognized. His eyes furthered wandered upwards, and Shēn rested his hands in his pockets, simply watching the figure in the suit, for now. He'd watch, for now. He wouldn't want to get in an official person's way, after all.
