The principal of the school nodded in agreement to Hayato complementing his office, even adding a [color=d79d58]"Why thank you, m'boy!"[/color] to show how pleased he was. [color=d79d58]"No need to be so nervous, child. It's unbecoming of such youth,"[/color] the principal laughed with a creaky voice, beckoning Hayate to sit down. He listened carefully to Hayato and Hayate's explanation of the problem, closing his eyes and nodding infrequently. [color=d79d58]"Hm... That is serious, yes."[/color] They confirmed the two students' worries, rolling back a little in their wheelchair. The principal turned around for dramatic tension, now facing the window. [color=#d79d58]"So, the reason you skipped class was for this?"[/color] they asked Hayato and Hayate, their voice able to send chills down the spine of even Colonel. Then the principal turned 180° in an instant, looking at the twins with a beaming smile on his face. [color=#d79d58]"Such a pure and innocent request! Very well, I will allow it. I'll take some notes now and work out the details with you later,"[/color] he energetically replied. 

[color=#d79d58]"Oh, my! Look at the time..."[/color] the principal suddenly commented, raising up their finger to point at a grandfather clock in the far end of his office. The time showcased that this hour's classes were about to end soon. He cleared his throat and told them: [color=#d79d58]"Well, it's time to return to class! Jay, would you please help them out of my office?"[/color] Jay could only nod in response, politely ask the twins to stand up and guide them out of the door. She helped them inside the elevator, wishing Hayate and Hayato good luck with their studies. The principal leaned back in his wheelchair, but as soon as he did, the telephone went off. They picked it up, answering with a curt [color=#d79d58]"Yes?"[/color] After a bit of back-and-forth, the caller finally got to the point. [color=#d79d58]"Shinrei Ikushirou has... Left the building you say?"[/color][hr]Shinrei clicked his tongue as he made his way down the staircase, wondering where his sister could have run off to. The damn enterprise wanted the both of them to return because [i]someone[/i] screwed up and couldn't manage it on their own. But it didn't seem like there was anything of interest to be found here after all, and his sister hated the place. So it was probably for the best they left. Surprisingly enough, Shinrei actually found his blood relative without much issue... Though surrounded by who'm she had dueled with earlier. [b]"You kids should go back to class,"[/b] was all he told them, before shifting his gaze to Tsukiko. [b]"Tsukiko, get your things. We're leaving again,"[/b] he told her and didn't bother to stick around for a reply. Tsukiko accepted the deck back from Shiyu with scorn, disappearing down the stairwell alongside her brother.

Shiyu looked a bit miffed at what just happened, being unable to lecture Tsukiko on how she treated her cards. He sighed, turning back to Amelia and Leander as they both seemed to be confused at what was going on. [color=c7c7c7][b]"I'm sorry about that,"[/b][/color] they apologized. The boy rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, then quickly added: [color=c7c7c7][b]"I'll tell you some day what I meant by that. But not today, alright? We should get back to class, I'm sure the teacher wouldn't want us to loiter around here. I just hope we come off the hook easy, haha..."[/b][/color] Shiyu tried to laugh and reassure the other duo, looking up the staircase. [color=c7c7c7][b]"I'll go first, like in the duel! See you guys in a bit,"[/b][/color] the boy cheerily told them before scooting off at light speed up the staircase.
