Vedika looked around the gym, pleased to see so many bright young faces meeting new people. Given how the negatively some of the interactions were actually going, it is safe to say that Vedika saw the world through rose-tinted glasses. Then an angry individual pushed past her, making his way out of the gym. She wasn't angered by his pushing her out of his way, but she was concerned about him leaving. She didn't much care for the rules, but she didn't want the boy getting in trouble with the faculty for not knowing any better. So she idiotically followed him out, breaking the same rule she was planning on preventing him from breaking.

What happened next was a blur. A girl collided with the boy, and the boy reacted with rage, lifting the girl. Vedika saw that he was about to punch her so she quickly ran over, widened her stance, and placed both hands on the small of the girl's back. He could hit her, but Vedika's aura would protect the girl from the force of the impact, though Vedika was unaware of the fact that the boy would also emanate heat, something her barrier could not yet negate.
