Pablo was surprised at Luis' sudden move, feeling the breath knocked out of him as he was launched towards Nishka. The split-second after the surprise was anger, and the split second after that, as he presumably hit Nishka, was hilarity. Pablo knew it looked ridiculous, and so, as he closed his eyes in anticipation of impact, he ventured a slight smile at the absurdity of the situation, a smile through the pain.

Should he hit Nishka, he would say:

"Hey Nishka, you're it!" Don't worry, next after you, we'll go after the twins.

Should he not hit Nishka:

"Oof!" he would say as he landed on the floor, before looking around to see where the girl had gone...

Gloria was unfamilliar with the rules of this "freeze tag" game.
Truth be told, she was unfamilliar with most of the "normal" childhood games - there was no games where she has grown, only physical drills. Though this "freeze tag" game was passibly familliar to some of them - evasion training or free for all brawls came to mind - incapacitating your opponents appeared not to be the main goal of it.
So Gloria spent a few moments rapidly absorbing the situation around her, which almost cost their team Takumi - wait, no, apparently he had some sort of plan, which was.....leading everyone on the merry chase behind him? What was even the point? Gloria frowned, then shrugged - she could certainly adapt and use the line-up of targets he created for her.
Her plan was rather simple, being based on two details: first, rules said nothing about holding the teammate to have constant "unfreeze" state; and second, apparently rules did not forbid bumping into and/or tripping each other.
Funny thing is, most people underestimate the value of keeping a good footing in a fight - whereas bad fall could leave you winded or even strain something in your body, and most people does not know hot to get back up without wasting precious seconds - and Gloria, with her large size and very dense bones and muscles(courtesy of Ship of Theseus), weighed just about over a hundred and thirty kilograms, making her a living battering ram akin to many of heavy-weight american football players, only in much more compact compact(if tall and well-developed) frame.
So she grabbed the forearm of the King with a grip like iron vice and prepared for the charge, lowering herself and tilting her body slightly forward.
- Vatch our backs, and don't get separated. Try to stay behind me and not get caught. - quickly hazarded she before bolting after Takumi, weaving left and right to "accidentally" collide with or yank their legs from under the maximum number of pursuers while simultaneously avoiding collisions with other runners. While doing that she used her free hand to shove those trying to catch her away from her and generally clear the way, charging in the complicated curved line through the crowd that Takumi attracted to himself. While doing it she yelled at the top of her lungs, timing her yells so they happen just before the collision with someone to startle and disorient them:
- Coming trough! Coming trough! Make vay! Vatch it!

King wasn't quite as hard as Gloria or as adept at messing with peoples' heads as Takumi - but still, he was more than adequately quick on his feet and with his wits, which allowed him to immediately understand Gloria's plan and keep up with her movements without stumbling, being dragged behind her or getting his arm yanked out of the socket by his incredibly mighty comrade. His own left hand, already pale due to disturbed blood flow, too wrapped around Gloria's forearm with all the strength he could muster in order to more safely tether him to his battering ram of a partner as he followed behind her like a railroad carriage would follow the locomotive. Of course, he didn't forget her warning and so, dutifully watched her back and flanks - and was quite effective at it, for he came to the class prepared for exactly the type of training where Noble Arms would be prohibited. In an wondrously swift, almost unnoticeable movement, his free hand suddenly turned out to hold a quite long, very sharp and, most importantly, utterly mundane knife - it was a mystery how he managed to hide it properly inside of his gym pants, but the fact of it now being in his hands remained undisputed and turned out to be a very effective way of warding off any would-be attackers that attempted to most dishonorably and cowardly tag Gloria from behind or attempt to make her vulnerable by dragging the King away - the chinaman swung his weapon in a seemingly wild and agressive pattern, making sure that nobody would dare to enter his control zone, but still carefully enough in order to not be disarmed by some wannabe martial artist.
This ancient and venerable technique - being unafraid to use a knife and walking in pairs with a trusted battle-mate in order to automatically un-freeze each other despite all tries to tag you both - was probably as old as the game of tag itself and allowed King to remain victorious throughout countless games on the grim, dangerous streets of his unspecified homecity in Taiwan and it sure as hell would not let him and Gloria down now.

Nishka's eyes narrowed in surprise at Pablo's sudden movement. Seriously, chucking someone at her? Alright it was kind of cool, but mostly stupid. Nishka evaded it by doing the simplest thing possible, she dropped to the ground, twisting slightly as to land on her back, causing Pablo to fly over her harmlessly. Nishka's back skidded on the surface of the quadrangle for a few moments, before she flipped up off the ground and landed and her feet, once again running smoothly, "See ya nerds!" she called out mockingly as she further distanced herself from them. Now had either of those two stupid kids gotten themselves tagged yet?

Yuri saluted the solider and was about to exit the room when his cellphone went off, he quickly grabbed it and checked the collar ID it read "Unknown", A knot began to swell up in Yuri's stomach as he answered the phone he knew who it was immediately. He grew pale and respond with "Yes sir." Before turning to the DO "I'm dropping out." He then began talking in the phone agin, "Yes father I'm on my way." Yuri walked out of the room without saying another word to the two men he walked through the halls to the main entrance he opened the door and another student step through thanking him as they passed one another. As Yuri exited the building he quickly got into a blacked out Suv. Deep down inside he wanted to disobey his fathers commands and stay at the school but he knew what would happen if he didn't listen.

@TheHangedMan

Grey had just got done walking to the school and began pushing the door open when another student who looked awfully pale opened it instead, Grey thank the boy as they passed one another. He knew showing up late on his first day wasn't going to earn his any brownie points with the school but it was a far walk from where he lived to the campus. Grey walked down the halls obviously impressed with the status of the building, he slowly made his way to the front desk attendant. "Excuse me,I'm late and just need to know where I need to be." grey asked, honestly baffled by the complexity of the campus he had never been to such a large school before.

Luis leapt back into action as fast he could. He could not waste the opportunity that Pablo's flight had given him. But the ex-urchin girl was too quick, performing some dodge roll that allowed her to deftly avoid Pablo's flying body. She scurried off, leaving nothing behind but a snappy retort and Pablo landing ungracefully on the ground. She was out of Luis' reach in half a second. Luis sighed. He kinda hoped that it would work, even if it was terribly stupid in hindsight. He jogged to Pablo's crash site and offered a hand to get him up.

"Sorry about that. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I'll treat you to some lunch someday as an apology." he said sheepishly.

"Man, I hope Reinhard is having better luck than us."

@Letter Bee

Pablo took Luis' hand, smiling in turn.

"Thanks," he said, his tone warm and friendly. "I'd like to hang out with you as well someday."

"So," he spoke, "we go back and try coordinating with Reinhard, or do we keep chasing Nishka? Far better yet, I think we should chase the kids who left her in the lurch."

"I don't like people who leave other people like that, especially when it's for no reason at all." Pablo then glanced at what the 'cool kids' were doing, but then decided to pay it no mind.

"So, what do ya think?"

@banjoanjo@Eklispe@TheHangedMan

"No problem, bro." Luis pulled Pablo up with a sturdy grip.

"I think we should keep our distance from Reinhard. He's doing his own thing and it seems to be going pretty well. Bringing attention to him would mess with his strategy. Stay away from King too, it's guaranteed he's got some dirty trick up his sleeve. If it were up to me, I'd go catch some more stragglers. But if you're not comfortable with that, then I'll go do it myself while you go work with Reinhard or chase after the twins yourself. It doesn't look like they'll put up much of a fight."

"I don't think that there's any point system for taggers, so as long as we look like we're trying hard and getting a decent amount of tags, it should be fine."

@Letter Bee

"Then, let's go after the twins," Pablo said, "and of course I'll keep away from King; I have no feud with him." And with that, he began looking around for those two kids, finally finding them - or what seemed to be them - running around near a corner.

"Luis, I think we found them," the boy continued before darting off to face the twins!

Zig-zagging in order to confuse potential pursuers, Pablo relished the thrill of the chase.

@banjoanjo

((Sorry for short post))

Luis kept to the plan, splitting from Pablo and tagging whichever jersey-less people he could get. He got a good number of them, maybe even whole teams, while making sure to keep distance between him and King. How did that guy even manage to get a knife in this game? It was actually kind of funny to watch, the Chinaman being dragged on his heels, defiantly slashing at anyone daring to come close. Luis reckoned he even got two or three whole groups before he heard Pablo call him from the other side of the quad. He joined Pablo at his side. As expected, the twins were running about in the corner.

"Divide and conquer or split up and go for one each?" he turned to Pablo. "Also if you want me to throw you again, just ask."

@Letter Bee

"Divide and conquer, of course!" Pablo said in mock outrage. "You choose the first target."

When Luis rushed at one of the twins, Pablo would go after said twin as well, while putting himself in the way of the other twin should they try and interfere.

Luis chose the one on his left. He squared up, hoping to intimidate the underclassman with his build. He sensed Pablo ready to back him up.

"Just try it, kid." he snarled. Intimidation was something he'd learnt well back in Puerto Rico. Luis bounced on the balls of his feet before lunging at the unfortunate twin.

@TheHangedMan

Once Nishka was at a safe distance from any potential taggers she glanced back to see what the field looked like now. Two students were running around holding hands, one was simply leading a large group on a merry chase and the two nerds that had tried catching her... Shit. Were those her twins? How many twins could there be? If those little twerps got caught then she'd be the one that paid for it. "I swear if you welps are tagged at the end of this: tommorow's penalty will be the least of your problems!" unfortunately there wasn't much she could do if those two got caught and puppy-gaurded. Niskha could only evade her own random attackers and wait to see what happened to the twins.

@KindledBeast @TheHangedMan

Jessalyn made her way to the school slowly but surely, dragging a suitcase along behind her. She had another bag slung over one shoulder, which had been her carry on in the plane. Her father had taken up a job, so they could continue living comfortably whilst paying for her dormitory. The prices here definitely weren't low, but she figured it was fair enough for military-esque training.

Pushing past the school doors, she found her mouth gaping. It had looked giant on the outside, but the inside was even larger than she had imagined. She took her time, her eyes traversing the walls as she walked towards the front desk. There she saw a handsome boy who appeared to be her age, looking just as fascinated as she was.

Jessalyn took her spot behind him in line, waiting patiently for her turn to get a schedule and find out where she should be.

@SunsetRoses Grey turned around for a moment when he heard someone approach behind him, he slowly turned looking from the corner of his eyes. When he noticed it was a girl standing behind him he turned his eyes forward agin and continued to turn toward her Intel thy were face to face. "Ahhh I see I was not the only one who's late." he said with a laugh, "My name is Grey nevăzut, and you're?" He asked trying to be as polite as possible.

@KindledBeast

Jessalyn had expected the boy in front of her to be silent, so when he turned to talk to her she was pleasantly surprised. ”I suppose so, glad I'm not alone.” She shared his laugh, her tone carrying a light African accent. She talked to him as though they had been friends for years, no hesitation found on her face. ”I'm Jessalyn Belo, nice to meet you Grey. Maybe if our schedules are the same we can head to class together?”

”I'd love to get to know your Arm. As well as you, of course.” She flushed, knowing how awkward that must sound.

@SunsetRoses
"Yeah hopefully we will, also it's a pleasure to meet you. My arm isn't anything special haha what about your NA? One odd thing though is it changed my eyes." Grey said widening his eyes so the girl could see his grey and silver eyes.

@KindledBeast

Jessalyn watched his eyes with piqued interest. They were a beautiful combination of silver and grey, that one couldn't call plain if they tried. "That's amazing. Your eyes are gorgeous, what color were they previously?" She had heard about Noble Arms having physical effect on their users, but she had never seen it in person.

When he asked about her own Arm, she reached into her hyperspace and grabbed Ultionis Iustitia. She was reluctant about letting him hold them, but with a small smile she held out one of her fans, the blade pointing towards her. "They do some cool tricks, nothing too special."

The instructor leaned back and watched as the game of "tag" went on. As if it could be called a game anymore, since it was shaping up to be a miniature battle at this point. He hadn't stopped it so far since, well, everyone was following the rules, surprisingly enough. Not one had used their Noble Arm and no one had thrown a punch yet, which was good, all things considering. Even better was the fact that he could see signs of intelligence in a few of the students movements. Actions that had been planned out in the spur of the moment, actual teamwork, and of course, the wonderful abuse of loopholes. Not bad, not bad at all.

Over with Pablo and Luis, as the two of them rushed the pair of twins, they suddenly found that they were barricaded by a group of six people. The two twins flinched away from Luis, thoroughly intimidated but not backing down, safe behind the wall of meat. All six people who were barring Pablo and Luis from touching the twins were, surprisingly, taggers, however they made no movement to even touch the twins behind them.

The reason for this strange behavior was soon made evident.

One of the twins approached Luis and stopped at a safe distance, where she could still be heard, but would where she would be untouchable.

"Hey, big brother, we don't really feel like running too much, and we don' want to have to face penalties either, so if you could, like, just not tag us, we'd be happy to treat you to lunch later!" she stated in a high, chirpy, voice, while at the same time flicking a wallet open, revealing bills upon bills of cash.

Meanwhile, King and Gloria were giving the instructor a headache. Loophole abuse was one thing, but the fact that King just pulled out a knife . . . well, this would end badly if he didn't step in soon. As King swung his knife around, the instructor could see several students back away in fear, unsure if the knife was real or not, but unwilling to take the chance that it was. Finally, he had to draw the line when a near miss caused a single student to flex tensely in reaction. The tense was familiar to him, and just as the hilt of a dagger poked out of the students hands, he stood up and blew his whistle.

"San Dao! Gloria! Timeout for a moment! The rest of you, continue!" he said, calling them over. Sighing, he waited for them to approach before pinching his nose in frustration. "Okay, now I know I said no Noble Arms, but that doesn't mean you get to pull out a weapon either, disregarding the schools rules, what did you think would happen if I had allowed you to continue using it?"

Before they could answer, he answered for them. "I'll tell you what it means, it means someone is going to bring out their Noble Arm and it's going to turn into a complete clusterfu- er, mess. The point of this warm-up is to get you to be able to move away from dangerous spots without relying on tools, because you won't always have them. Now, you hand over the knife and can I trust you to do this properly? And seriously, you've got Gloria on your team and you still need you still need to use a knife as a crutch? I'd call it unfair, but life isn't really fair anyway."

Back on the quadrangle, people were starting to get frustrated with Takumi, and he'd attracted a small mob of people that were determined to catch him. There were about ten of them, a mix of upper and lower years, and had been trying to push him into a corner before surrounding him. One of them in particular was getting closer and closer to tagging Takumi.

---

Jessalyn and Grey were approached by a single man, dressed in the teachers uniform. Frowning, he walked up to them. "Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but are you new students here? If so, I need to inform you that classes have already begun, but we'll be ending early today. If you want, the rest of the day is free, though I suggest you return home quickly, but if you wish to, you may attending whatever classes are remaining."

@Progenitus-@Eklispe-@banjoanjo-@Letter Bee-@Keksalot-@Altasaire-@KindledBeast-@SunsetRoses

@TheHangedMan @SunsetRoses
Grey was reaching for the girls NA but quickly stopped himself when he heard the man approach. "I'll attend any remaining classes." as he spoke he turned toward Jessalyn. "Shall you accompany me, Jessalyn?" He asked with a coquettish smile.
