[center][h2]Collab between [colour=SlateGray]Edgar Quantus "Vocab"[/colour] and[colour=ed145b] Reina Izumi "liferusher"[/colour][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/bJZLXFI.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/7YXi9nx.png[/img][/center] Why did she look so surprised at him calling her by her first name? Was that not a normal thing, or did people have to, like, ask for permission in Japan? Whatever it was, she lit up like a pink lightbulb and stood agape, staring. THAT, wasn't a normal thing, that was for sure. People didn't normally look like that, so what was her deal? [Center][color=ed145b]"Eeehhh!? Is that something that happens often? It sounds dangerous if teachers would be brawling each other or the students if that were to happen."[/color][/center] How long had this girl actually been in school? She didn't look that young, so she must have been... what, Year 3, Year 4? How could she have not known some of the teachers more... volatile nature, if a little few and far between. Everything more or less flashed through his head as he stood, and suddenly Reina was in his face, staring him right in the eye. Why the hell was she so curious, seriously?! [Center][color=ed145b]"Is your eye alright? You seem quite bothered by it for a while now. Shall I give it a look when we're outside?"[/color][/center] Did it? Did he really look that worried or bothered by it? Actually, as he thought more about it, Edgar realised his eye was hurting more and more as time went by, and that the pain had only started when Reina appeared. What was she, some magical torture device sent by the Director to find people and discover their stress limits? In instinct, he moved his hand up and began rubbing it somemore, making the area slightly red but nothing more. [b]"Uh... I-I dont know, I t-think its okay..."[/b] he said as he followed her through the crowd. They approached the back of the classroom, and promptly left the room before the bastards lecture began. Edgar really hated that guy, primarily because of how much of an arse he was. His magic wasn't even that strong compared to others, like Rollanda or the Director, or even Edgar himself. [Center][color=ed145b]"Looks like we're out of that mess at least. I'll just take a quick look at your eye if you don't mind. It will take the concern off my heart at least just to know nothing is wrong. Please sit on your knees so I can get a better look."[/color][/center] [b]"H-Huh, what?"[/b] he said slightly confused, but in a sort of [i]"Did you actually mean that?"[/i] kind of way. His eye really wasn't that bad, it was just... Really hurting. Like, really sore now. For some reason it had just kept getting worse and worse every second he was around Reina, which was something that had never happened before. [i]Come on, snap the hell out of it. Who do you actually think she is, anyway? bf7ywet732fw never acted like this before, so its something to do with either the situation... Or her[/i] he thought, looking at her with observant eyes. Was it the whole "never talked to a girl" thing that was throwing him off, but if so, why was it hurting his eye? In fact, why was it hurting at all?! [b]"U-Uh, I guess..."[/b] he said, crouching down so he was sat on his knees, [b]"Tell me if you see anything off..."[/b] [hr] When Reina mentioned his eyes acting weird he immediately started rubbing it. Reina tilted her head confusingly looking at him. Didn't he want Reina to mentioned it? Or was it something else. Reina tried stopping him from doing that or else he would only make it worse. But when his hand was already in his eyes she simply let him go do his own thing. Edgar said his eye was okay but she didn't believe him. He must have been one of those people that ignored their small pains but no one would be getting past Reina with that. They moved towards the back of the classroom and left before a new teacher gave a lecture to the children. She was happy she wasn't in there any longer. The magic that was being cast around her was close enough already. She wouldn't want to be electrocuted on her first day already. When Reina mentioned him to sit on his knees he looked kind of surprised by the fact she really wanted to look in his eye. Well of course she was dead serious about it, she wanted to help him feel better. It might have been a bit awkward for a girl you just first met to get a better look in your eyes but Reina did not care in any way. Edgar got onto his knees and Reina immediately stepped a bit closer to him. Reina started to look a bit more serious when she was in front of his face. [center][color=ed145b]"Pardon my intrusion"[/color][/center] Reina gently placed her thumbs on his eyelids and forced them open just a little. She inspected the eye well while she still could but she didn't see anything off or anything. It was just a little red that was all, no dust and nothing else either. She did not understand a single thing to why it hurted so much. [center][color=ed145b]"Quantus-san? I can't find anything in your eye. Are you sure it's not an allergy or something."[/color][/center] Reina trembled a little from standing too long on her toes but still continued on. She herself didn't notice her balance was getting a little off. She accidently bumped into Edgar but didn't act like anything happened and let herself drop down on her whole feet again letting go off his eye in the progress. [center][color=ed145b]"Sorry but I can't seem to find the problem, you should go to a doctor or something when you have some free time."[/color][/center] From a disappointed expression out of knowledge that her own ability wasn't enough she immediately cheered up and gave him a kind smile. [hr] Now that he was on his knees, he suddenly felt... Nervous? Yeah, he felt nervous. Very nervous at the fact some random japanese girl was about to stare into his eye. She stepped forward, and all of a sudden looked very serious, like she was generally concerned. Which baffled Edgar completely. She pried open his eye lids and looked straight into his eye, apparently still on her toes. He could feel his cheeks getting warmer by the second, but tried to force the feeling back down. Though, the one thing he couldn't ignore was that the pain in his eye was increasing at a very alarming rate. Then she lost balance and bumped into him, and that was that. His eye burnt, like someone had stabbed it or something. [center][color=ed145b]"Quantus-san? I can't find anything in your eye. Are you sure it's not an allergy or something."[/color][/center] He looked up at her, now that she had stepped away, and cluched his eye, his face slightly turned into that of pain. Whatever the hell was happening, it wasn't good. Maybe he had been cursed or something like that teacher. That had to be it, because hy2fgebytev87 never acted like it was now. It was like someone was slowly pushing a needle or something similar slowly into his eye, and being nearer to Reina only made it that much worse. Closing the eye didn't seem to do much, and anything else he tried didn't work either. Maybe it was worth visiting Rollanda at some point for her imput. [b]"I-Its really not an allergy... I dunno whats wrong with it..."[/b] he said, coping with the pain as best he could. He stood from the ground, but as he did he wobbled and fell against a wall, quickly steadying himself so he didn't look... What, weak? He already looked it, even though he felt fine save his eye. [i]Shut it. What the hell is wrong with you today? You know what, you're an idiot. This is because, deep down, you expect something, right? Well let it go, dumbass, cause acting like you are aint going to solve anything[/i] Moping around thanks to a bit of pain, no matter how excruciating, wasn't going to do him any good. [b]"Listen, I-I think I'm gonna go see Rollanda... I d-don't know whats wrong, so seeing a m-medic is probably for the best..."[/b] he said, pushing himself from the wall and steadying himself. [b]"Y-You don't have to come if you don't want to. I'll p-probably be fine on my own."[/b] he stood, and took his hand away from his eye. It still hurt like a bitch, but he was sort of getting used to its increase in pain at a steadying interval. As long as Reina didn't get too close it was fine, apparently. [hr] When Reina stepped back from him he even seemed to be more pained by his eye. What was happening to him. This didn't look like 'something is stuck in my eye' thing anymore. Reina her face shot up in concern. She wanted to help him get rid of his pain but she knew that nothing she could do would fix it. Maybe it was a bug or a bacteria that had gotten behind his eye. Now that would be really bad, she didn't even wanna think about what would happen if they weren't quick about it. He didn't have any allergies either. Most people who would be allergic to something their eyes would turn up a little red from the contact of animals or the likes. The same thing with dangerous chemicals, they could hurt your eyes really bad. But she knew it was none of that. Edgar tried standing but didn't seem to be able too by the massive amount of pain he experienced. Reina immediately shot towards him when he was lying helplessly on the ground. [center][color=ed145b]"Aaaahhh... Umm, sorry I should have caught you before you fell. Are you alright? Take it slow please..."[/color][/center] Reina looked in concern at him and tried helping him up as much as she could feeling somewhat guilty that she couldn't stop him from falling. It was her fault after all that she made him sit on his knees. He was already up before you knew it. She gazed up at him and soon stood up herself. He said he would be going to Rollanda for his eye now but he wasn't completely planning to take Reina with him. Her face became a little irritated. By the fact he wanted to face this problem alone without the help of her. [center][color=ed145b]"I'll be coming too. If something happens I would be the one feeling guilty. So I won't leave your side Quantus-san!"[/color][/center] Reina sweetly smiled at Edgar with her head a little tilted and placed both hands joined together in front of her lap again. [center][color=ed145b]"So please be so kind to lead the way Quantus-san"[/color][/center] [hr] Reina seemed very concerned when Edgar stumbled. It was as if she genuinely cared, which was a bit odd to him. When she came over the help, though, his eye flared up a bit, causing him to instinctively push her hands away slightly. When he stood up properly, he realised what he had done and his cheeks went red again. [b]"S-Sorry about that... I... I think my eye hurts when people g-get too close. I d-dont know why, though..."[/b] he said, looking sorry for the way he pushed her. Then she acted as if it were her fault that he had a little trouble standing, and he went to immediately rectify her. [b]"N-No, it isn't your fault. R-Really, its just my eye. I'm alright, if a bit... U-Unsteady."[/b] and he was still stuttering every so often. She was still concerned, and it actually made Edgar a little disheartened at the fact she was looking upset at his pain. No one had actually paid much mind to him, being a noble - sort of - people just left him to his devices, mostly on his parents orders. Ever since his 12th birthday his magic had been a little hit and miss. Sometimes it was quite powerful, and others it was weak. He trained constantly, and was sent to Liseranna. Not for his magic capability, but nf87bfewby. [center][color=ed145b]"I'll be coming too. If something happens I would be the one feeling guilty. So I won't leave your side Quantus-san!"[/color][/center] Wait, what? That almost flew over his head, but then it hit him. She really was feeling guilty after all, even though she must have known it wasn't her fault. And it was still going to take some time for him to get used to being called [i]"Quantus-san"[/i]. All of a sudden, though, Reina brightened up and started looking cute again. [center][color=ed145b]"So please be so kind to lead the way Quantus-san"[/color][/center] [b]"U-Uh, yeah, sure."[/b] he said, turning around and walking towards the infirmary with Reina in tow. A short walk later, Reina and Edgar arrived at the infirmary. There, two others were around, one looking like a familiar. Approaching, he went to ask the closest person who looked as it if they were meant to be here. [b]"Hey, do you know if Rollanda is here? I need to have a word with her."[/b] he said, and the person went away to look. Then he turned towards Reina. [b]"If she is here, you'll h-have to wait out here. I-I need a private word with her... S-Sorry."[/b] [hr] [center][color=ed145b]"Aah!"[/color][/center] When Reina tried to help Edgar up from his fall her hand was pushed away. It didn't look like it hurted much or that it was done with a lot of force but Reina did not really expect something like this to happen. By the sudden push she was thrown of balance and accidentally fell backwards onto her butt. It did not hurt or anything but she was a bit flabbergasted by the sudden push. Reina blinked a few times while looking at Edgar and grabbed hold of her hand that was pushed away by her other hand. Reina slowly got herself back on her feet but didn't look hurt in the least. She didn't even say anything about what just happened but rather smiled like her usual self as if totally nothing happened. Reina slowly shook her head with her head tilted a little downwards. [center][color=ed145b]"No no, don't worry. I was just a little surprised by it. I didn't realise you had pain because of others, Sorry I should have been more carefull."[/color][/center] Reina made a small bow out of apology and returned to her usual self again. When everything seemed partly resolved again Edgar turned around and started to lead the way towards the infirmary. She happily tagged along paying attention to anything off at the back of him. She didn't dare to come close anymore or else something like just happened would happen again. When they arrived Edgar asked for a specific person that Reina didn't really know that well. She had heard the name of the person at the second announcement of the headmaster and possibly in between speaker announcements on the background. Edgar gave her a short briefing on what would happen in a few moments. Reina gave a confirming nod at him and placed her hands in front of her lap again while making another small bow. [center][color=ed145b]"That's fine, I just wanted to make sure you didn't pass out or anything on your own. I hope your eye will get well soon and it was a pleasure to meet you Quantus-san."[/color][/center] Reina stopped with bowing and gave a small little wave at Edgar till she was about 3 meters away from him so she could get back to her own business. [center][@GrafRoy Zeppeli][/center] [hr] [h3][center][colour=DimGray]Synth Kane[/colour][/center][/h3] The woman sighed, looking rather unamused at his comment. Did she not think of herself as beautiful? That was not something that could go unnoticed, at least not in Synth's eyes. [color=yellow][b]"Do not mistake my words. I say this in the hopes that we will get along, and to do with these students what I came here to do. Educate them and teach them not only what it means to be a mage, but also how to have respect for their elders."[/b][/color] As she said that, all Synth could hear was a load of shit. Everything she sad was directly avoiding his questions and comments about the Eye, but that meant what? Was she hiding the real identity of the Heir, or did she know something that no one else did? Maybe the Director was deflecting the suspicion of the Eye away from her and onto the pupils... But, that couldn't have been the case. She was too collected to be the heir; too steadfast. Someone like her couldn't possibly have had the Eye, right? But if not, then what was it that made her so... Passively protective over it? He pondered this for a short while after she said it, but was then interrupted by a sight and a sound. In an instant, she had drawn her blade and cut off a few hairs from his head, but he didn't move. If fact, he didn't even flinch. When Synth reached up and touched his head, he could feel some of them missing. She was fast; very fast. Faster than humanly possible. Could she have actually had the Eye? But then if so, was her magic Speed magic? Probably Naturalis of Neutral is that was the case, because that speed should have been unobtainable by anyone without something to enhance it, even with magic. But, why would the Director set up a man hunt for the teacher? [b]"I like her..."[/b] he said under his breath, walking behind her and out of the door. But, instead of following her like he felt he should, Synth instead walked the the opposite direction; away from her. She didn't have the Eye. It was obvious who did, though. The question was: [u]are any of them smart enough to figure out who they are, even without the slightest clue?[/u]
