Akihito was currently standing dumbfounded as Rena proudly placed the finishing touches on her… creature thing. Aki was a pretty good (pretty great) actor, but the bewilderment he felt did not have to be feigned. He had to say, Rena’s drawing was quite … inspired, and while the grotesqueness was certainly present, there was (surprisingly) a layer of professionalism amidst all the weirdness. 

[color=82ca9d]“Woah Rena-chan, that’s really cool!”[/color] he exclaimed. ‘Cool’ might not have been the word he was thinking, but the image was certainly deserving of some adjective. [color=82ca9d]“You captured the movement of the figure really well, and the inking is incredible too! Kinda looks like one of those gaijin cartoons,”[/color] he grinned.

Yeah, it was pretty decent.

[color=82ca9d]“You’ve obviously done this befo-“[/color] A bright light from outside the Art Studio suddenly flooded the room. Then the distant screaming started. Of course, he knew immediately who was responsible. He knew that one guy with the smile really liked messing with the stage lights, but this was just insane. And that disruptive screaming. He didn’t care whatever icebreaker activity those melodramatic asshats were doing this time, some people needed to realise that other people used the school facilities too, people who would definitely NOT appreciate their activities being interrupted by asinine wailing.

[color=82ca9d]“Jeez, what are those Drama Club idiots even doing?”[/color] he cursed out loud, revealing a sourness that would not be expected of a kid with a charcoal smudge on his face and an oversized cardigan. [color=82ca9d]“I swear, I’m going to go over there and give Yamamoto what’s coming to him,”[/color]

Actually, that plan didn’t sound half bad. Plus it was a convenient way to get Rena away from those terrified kouhais [i]and[/i] to get to know her better. 

[color=82ca9d]“Hey Rena-chan, if you’re done with your work, wanna come with me to tell off the Drama Club?”[/color]
