Upon reaching the Nurse's office, Ruby didn't pay any attention to what was happening around her. In that moment she was more concerned with erasing that annoying pain that was coming from many places in her body, mainly her scraped up hands though. After all, such a fight was sure to leave injuries and even the toughest hero would still feel pain. Especially after the adrenaline wears off, which happened for Ruby a little while ago. Therefore, while not looking at what the others were doing, since they were still with her anyways, Ruby just talked to the nurse to get her hands bandaged and received the care that she needed for her injuried body. Luckily this spar was not as severe obviously, even though some injuries would be felt over the next few days. After that, she mostly just observed the others for now and waited for any signal from Persia especially for them to leave. Truthfully though, Ruby intended to head to the dorms soon as she would want to both read her books and rest a bit. Her training for the day had been done already after all.

Strange. Aurelia had in contact with many people like him, but something about him really piqued her curiosity. But the question of how she felt so, and why, was unexplainable. His face, his expression expressed a hidden depth that was worth a thousand words. It was as if beneath that goatee and tough facial features were a story to be told, to be unraveled with great intrigues, or sorrow...

Her gaze was met with a playful wink. She was taken a little aback with the response though that she was stranger to these things. She, in fact, had met a handful of men who approached with the flirty attitude.

But in the end, he did not have much to do with her. The girl took one last glance at Sparks before turning to the principal.

”Ok, Mr Hisakawa. This is gonna be informations that I would not want anyone to know at the moment.” She had a nod of agreement with her other friends and comrades before making the statement. ”The students were targeted by a certain underworld hero killer clan, known by the name of the Shadow Clan.”

Mr.Hisakawa simply nodded signaling for her to continue with the briefing. “I see”, could it be that they’ve made their move on Takeshi and michiko already?

”It wasn’t a single villain, but a couple of them. We faced three, I don’t know if there is anymore.” She said. ”They are highly skilled in every aspects, both with their shadow quirks and physical prowess, with one able to create wolves and other living creatures. The other could use shadows like his limbs, or even weapons.” She turned to her brother, knowing that he also witnessed it.

”Yeah, it’s true. He can use his shadowy made tentacles to do various things. Hurl stuff around and even use it in conjunction with his sword.”

”The guy’s dead though.” Aurelia continued, as the other three was in shock for the statement. ”He committed a suicidal attack. I was alright, but that guy...if it weren’t for the help of this particular woman, he may have died for real. The other two left the scene shortly after we and another small group of heroes arrived.”

“I’ve encountered them before personally, it’s in your best interest not to pursue this group unless your well prepared. They’re an SSS ranked threat, highly trained assassins and to be honest. I’m surprised none of our guys died. The only explanation for that is they must’ve have had specific orders preventing them from going on a massacre.”

Mr.Hisakawa placed his hand to his chin before looking back towards the room in which Reina was inside. “Each member is essentially a one man army, what they lack in quantity they make up in quality of the clansmen they produce. As you all are now, it would be unwise to pursue them currently, especially you Acion.” He specifically pointed out Acion being the only one who wasn’t licensed out of the group

The name call made the one in question a little hard to answer. The boy glanced away as his sister replied.

”You’re right. But we’re the Sky Knights. We’ll have to face them at one point or another. I’m not completely certain but not many hero groups are familiar with these groups. So we’ll most likely have to be at the forefront of this. But not at the moment.” Then, she turned to her brother. ”As for him, I did not really expect a fight on his day of volunteering. But if there’s anything, I’d take responsibility for him. He did make a wise decision that helped us in the fight.”

”Oh, and you remember that moment when this guy was grabbing that girl, Kaida, away.” The dragon-spirit Sky Knight added.

”Ah, that. They seemed intent on taking the silver-haired girl, I remember her name being Kaida Beaumont, away, declaring that she would be under clan protection. And there is this guy who had pretty much the same type of quirk as them, but fought for us. They seemed determined to kill this guy.”

”You mean-”

”About that girl too.” His brother’s words were cut short as Aurelia turned to her friend, Dragunov. ”Is it true that she is your nemesis? Or the daughter of your nemesis? If that so, then we may figure out why she is under the clan’s protection instead of being targeted”

The girl being asked clutched her forehead with her two fingers, ”I’m not entirely sure myself.” thus made Aurelia in a confusion. [color=ed1c4]”I heard the name is Beaumont, so I have had my suspicion. My assertion at that time serves to allow the guys to attack undetected. In truth, I’m really intrigued to find out.”[/color]

Wait what?

’Kaida has that sort of background?’

Acion was the only one not available when that detail was being displayed. Her parents were villains? How was that even possible? She looked so nice and delicate. It must have been some sort of misunderstanding or some sort of complicated circumstances. That kindness and gentleness couldn’t be linked with a background like that. But like Forte said, she wasn’t sure. And he too wasn’t.

He placed his hand on his chin as he tried to ept into the background, but was discreetly waiting for the principal’s answer to this great question in his mind.

Hisakawa was more than knowledgeable about all the information that the 4 was attempting to piece together. Kaida being the child of that French tyrant as well as Takeshi and michiko being apart of the shadow clan. He couldn’t tell his underlings just yet as they wouldn’t understand why we had decided to let them attend Komei. Though his eyes widened a bit at the thought that they’d declare her under the clans protection. Why exactly would they want Kaida? They have all the money they’d ever want so they’re wouldn’t be a point in kidnapping the girl. The group a large amount of prestige to go with that money, the last possible explanation is power.

But it didn’t make sense to him at the moment to kidnap her for power? He broke out of his deep thought as Forte asked if that was her nemesis.

“There is still not enough information left to create a concrete reasoning left. We have a lot of theories yet too little definites. Our best bet is to wait until all of the students recover from their injuries and questioning them before we take further action”

”Yeah. I second it.”

”But-” Forte tried to make her protest but Aurelia placed her hand on her shoulder as she looked into her eyes

”I know you’re very dedicated to your clan, but you can’t be hasty here. They had just been victimized, so it’s best not to do anything at the moment.”

”We’ll put the Shadow Clan matter on hold for now and focus on different threats in this city.” The psychic sighed dejectedly. ”I feel like we’re gonna be alone in this fight against them. The hero groups are having it too easy because the city has been too peaceful.”

”I have that same fear too. And it’s not going to be just a fight.” Aurelia added. ”It’s going to be a war...”

When the statement was given, the stakes suddenly got a lot higher. Especially for someone like Acion, who would be inevitably be involved one way or another. There was no way out. He could bail out, but it would just be a shameful thing. Knowing evil out there but did not take any actions against them would just be a nursery for them. But knowing that even his sister, a powerful pro hero was even outclassed by them, he knew he had a tremendous task to do.

That afternoon was just a glimpse of his future that he had chosen for himself. It wasn’t just any fairy tales he imagined for himself. This was the big league. Everyday would be an uphill battle that had to be taken with complete seriousness. His goals, thoughts and dedications had been changed abruptly swiftly.

”Anyway, that is everything that went on in that afternoon. Everything important at least. For the record, I think I should stay here. To see if the police has anything to say, and also to see how these people are faring.” Aurelia said, as all four of them nodded in agreement.

”If you guys want to, you can go h-” The Sky Defender suddenly noticed someone approaching her. A person whom she knew very well back in those days she was in Komei. Everybody knew her. The former supervillain who now serves for the cause of justice. Well, at least for her cause but it aligns with justice well. Reactions were positive, as they all respected the former teacher, though one of the Knights may still be poking at her stigma. But nevertheless, she was a welcomed and expected guest.

”No problem Miss. It’s a duty that had to be done.”

Following her was the sturdy man from before.

”Thank you, sir, though I think you should leave that to someone else. Another group of hero that was also there. One of whom saved his life when he was critical, and now he is still under treatment I think. You can ask directly if you’re more concerned.” Aurelia replied with a smile. In fact, she may just go and ask right now if nothing was up. He did, after all, saved her life.

”I’m fine for the day miss. They should be fine too, physically at least. But mentally...well, I don’t know.” Acion said as he made his appearance known to Mako.

”They may need further observation miss, as they just been victimized.”

Kasuke was quiet. Her attempts to run Harukaze's name in the dirt were thrown back at her and she'd start to feel like a bit of a bitch if she kept at it. She wondered if she was already being too much of a bitch, but then thought about the image of Harukaze talking to Jett and all those doubts vanished. Still, she didn't want to push too much and annoy Asuka. There were few people Mina even thought of as friends. Donny was one, Jett's sister, Tatara-san, and that was it. So, Mina dropped this conversation, but didn't replace it with anything until Kenichi showed up. She was actually glad of him. Annoying as she found him, he was an ice-breaker, and struck her as the kind of person who didn't need much effort from you to have a conversation with.

Mina looked over to Asuka, smiled and shrugged. She didn't particularly mind this excursion. She didn't fully trust herself around Harukaze or Jett right now, having absolutely no idea they were talking right now or she would no longer be standing beside Asuka. She had sprinted right to them. But then what? This is why she didn't want to go back and find them. She was too emotional. She likely say something that'd piss them off, and Jett had been merely annoyed with her today, and that hurt enough. If she actually angered him...

She was snapped out of this by Kenichi addressing her, and addressing her as chan. Mina tutted in an irritated fashion and very quickly regretted her thought that talking to this boy would be easy. It would take a lot of restraint not to give him the icy shoulder and leave, but that might upset Asuka. 'We, uh, haven't spoken much, huh?' Yeah, no kidding. We don't have a second less conversation than I could take from you, you assuming, loud, obnoxious, rude, self-centered...

"Yes, I do karate," she answered politely, with a smile. Asuka would recognise this as a more informal, chill variant of the 'Lady-mode' that Mina had recently been using. "It's the only striking martial art I'm a black belt in, though I'm more of a grappler overall. What about you? Do you know any martial arts?"

As soon as the pictures were taken, Hitomi cursed and struggled to free herself of cats. She was absolutely covered in them. Her arms and legs had several scratches, some were bleeding. Her hair, usually well combed, was a tangled mess that was actually starting to resemble a sheep's coat, and was housing most of the cats. And they didn't want to come out. And even the ones that didn't mind were heavily tangled. Several students from the pro-Collective side had to come and help her out. By the time she was free of cats, the counting was finished, and Hitomi was declared the winner by a massive lead. She was grinning as she returned to Yui and Asahi even though she looked like she'd just gotten out of bed in a warzone.

"I told you I'd win! And I'm not sure if I should enter again and rob you two of any glory. Yui-chan, can you sing?"

As she was talking, she looked around for Kamui Hibiki and saw her storming off without even watching the rest of it. Hitomi frowned, and turned back to her friends. "Sorry, I need to go somewhere for a minute. I'll try my best to be back before the Karaoke starts."

Hitomi then slipped through the crowd and caught up to Hibiki by the time she managed to get back into the school. In the empty corridors, the Sheep Girl approached her, brows furrowed. "Are you not going to watch the rest?" she asked.

Mako nodded to signify she agreed with Acion. There would be mental scars from this for all the children involved. Though it wasn't officially her duty, she felt as responsibility as a teacher that she'd never fully felt before, to make sure her students were all okay. She was even resisting the urge to deliberately get under the skin of the Sky Knight who clearly didn't fully trust her, something she'd otherwise had leapt at, because that would be a waste of time and she had more pressing concerns. She turned to Mr. Sparks.

"I need to visit my students, and you have some interest in Yashiro-san, so let's see to our own affairs and then possibly meet back in the lobby when we're finished. We haven't finished catching up, mister."

Even the Sky Knights wouldn't have missed the faint hints of flirting in Mako's voice as she addressed Mr. Sparks. Mako then made her way to the hospital room which housed Kaida. She quickened her pace when she saw Donny Yang's form...'melting' was the best way she could describe it. She sped up into a controlled run down the corridor, and when she reached him, turned her hands very cold and began to manually push the seeping slime back into place. Her hands weren't outright freezing him, but were helping to keep the slime firm and Donny in one piece.

"You won't find this very comfortable with your quirk," Mako addressed him sternly, "But it'll help keep you from losing your form. Serves you right for over-exerting yourself when you should be resting!" Mako then looked up to the rest of the room; Kaida, bedridden. Roy, wheelchair bound, and Dulga, who had raced up to here before Mako's car had even stopped. The Villain Psychology teacher but her smile back on and her eyes closed again, though the saccharine gleefulness was gone from her voice, and she actually sounded genuine, tender, and slightly upset and weary. "So besides Donny, how are we all doing?"

After she had finished her homework for the weekend, Haruka was trying to figure out what else she could try to build for her suit. While there was plenty of cool things she wanted, she needed to be practical and think of things she could actually fit on her suit without compromising it’s weight. She also had to consider if she wanted to add gadgets to improve her suit’s abilities, or give her more utility. So many ideas and she didn’t know where to start!

Fortunately Haruka knows a good place to find inspiration: the Absolute Territory! It was a huge shopping mall that caters to superheroes and fans. She was sure she could find some books or tech she could add to her suit and make it better. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to get out of her room for a little while. She had been spending most of her time either doing school work or working on her own stuff. So after putting on some clothes she headed out to the Absolute Territory.

Things seemed peaceful as she was heading into the city but it wasn’t long before she noticed some police and crowds. She thought it might be a villain or a crime scene and sure enough she found herself in front of an alley. It looks like there was a big fight here as parts of the ground, walls, and buildings had been gouged out. There was some people talking about what happened and Haruka heard a few words, namely words like “Komei”, “Red Swordsman”, “Rubber Girlr”, and “Stuttering Kid”.

”Oh shit,” Haruka muttered to herself. The destruction present in front of her was already shocking enough, but the words being thrown around worried her even more than that. Komei, Rubber Girl, and Stuttering Kid? Were here classmates involved in this? Just what had happened here, and who was the Red Swordsman being talked about? Haruka swallowed a lump that had formed in her throat the more she considered what was going on, and cursed silently at her inability to call her suit from so far away. Maybe if she was lucky, and if something bad had happened, she could at least find something else around to manipulate.

Carefully, Haruka moved past the citizens discussing the events, not entirely willing to ask any of them what had happened. Maybe not the smartest move, but she was more focused on the actual scene ahead. She entered the alley, looking around for anything that might have left a trail as to where who she expected were Yukari and Donny had gone.

As far as crimes scenes go, this place wasn’t too gruesome. However there was obvious signs of a battle, and a violent one at that. Near many dents in the walls were smidges of black sludge, almost tar like in consistency. And then there was the large splatter of blood on the ground. Though it was mostly congealed at this point, there was still a red gleam that would make it unmistakable. Wasn’t long before a police officer approached Haruka. “Hey, this area is off limits. You’re interfering with a crime scene, please leave.”

The sight of blood put a twisting knot in Haruka’s stomach. Someone had been hurt, and pretty badly at that. She hoped it wasn’t either of her friends, but judging by the sheer amount of damage, she couldn’t imagine either of them had gotten out unscathed. She was about to continue before the officer came by, and she jumped a bit at the sudden interruption. After taking a breath to catch her composure, she raised her hands. ”W-wait! I-I’m a student at Komei, a-and I overheard some people saying, uh, other students that I know were involved? D-do you know what happened to them?” She asked, quickly scouring her pockets to find her student I.D. to present to the cop.

The cop gave Haruka a hard look, but then sighed and soften his expression. “Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to tell you what happened here. All I can say is that a violent crime happened here, and a few people have been taken to the hospital. Now please, leave. I don’t want you to get into any trouble.” The cop told Haruka firmly, but in a soft tone. He was sympathetic but he had a job to do too.

Haruka was still extremely nervous, but she at least had somewhere to go. She nodded and bowed her head, muttering a quick ”Thank you,” to the officer. At that, she left the alley and made her way through the crowd once more. ”Hospital, okay. Shit, I hope they’re alright…” She silently thought, wasting no time in taking off towards the nearest bus stop that had a route to Hosu’s emergency treatment center.

Though her ride was silent, she spent the entire time worrying about the well-being of Yukari and Donny. Though she hadn’t been too active in keeping up with anyone lately, she hated the thought of two of the people she had grown most comfortable around being hurt at all, let alone as severely as the crime scene seemed to imply. The blood splatter was already bad enough, but Haruka’s anxiety bolstered the thoughts of what could have gone badly to new levels.

Soon enough, the bus stopped, and she booked it towards the hospital’s front door. She didn’t bother waiting in line, running to one of the attendants that was sitting at the front desk with a “please speak to other attendant” sign in front of them. Once more, she whipped out her student I.D., slapping it down onto their desktop while she breathed heavily from her run up to the desk. ”I-I’m sorry, b-but do you know if a girl n-named Yukari and a boy named Donny are here? T-they’re my classmates, a-and my friends, and I-I heard they got hurt a-and got taken here and…” she trailed off, only a whimper of distress following, as tears welled up in her eyes.

Before she’d get a response a somewhat familiar face would arrive to the hospital. It was hard to miss her: it was Dulga. She didn’t even bother to stop and talk to a receptionist and just ran right upstairs in a big hurry. The receptionist seemed a bit shocked but got back to Haruka. “I don’t have anyone by those names on file. They may have just arrived or they might not be in this hospital.” The receptionist said calmly.

Haruka’s attention switched to Dulga for a moment. Seeing another Komei student here was reassuring in all the wrong ways. Something bad had happened, but at least she was in the right spot. As Dulga vanished up the staircase, Haruka’s tears started to overflow, and she looked back to the receptionist with an expression that read as desperation. But she believed what the receptionist had to say, so she nodded and bowed her head a little before taking her I.D. and starting up the stairs herself, failing to physically keep up with where the other girl was going, but coming upon the floor where emergency rooms were set up soon enough. She swiftly
walked in, I.D. in hand, and began searching for Yukari and Donny’s room by peeking through open doors as she strode past them.

Hosu’s hospital might’ve not been as big as some in the other major Tokyo wards, but it was still big enough that Haruka would have a hard time searching through all the rooms on the second floor alone before it got late. But as Haruka was looking around, she’d hear a scream coming from down the hall. It was girlish, and soon there was some loud sobbing. It sounded like Yukari.

The scream sent a chill of utter terror down Haruka’s spine. As fast as she could, she ran down the hall, following the sobbing to the room that it had come from. She nearly stumbled turning into the doorway, and once she was there, she called out to her friend. ”Y-Yukari?!” Haruka asked, her heart pounding and her thoughts racing.

@Ryonara

Yukari was in such pain that she didn't even noticed the people coming into the room. First was Monika. She would see Yukari tossing and turning in bed, one leg raised in a cast, wrapping her arms around the bed and biting her pillow in pain. She'd also see that in Yukari's tossing and turning she had removed an IV that was going through her arm; while the needle was still in her arm the tube had been pulled out and dripping the medicine keeping Yukari's pain at bay. She was also bleeding from her IV as well. "Ah... Aaaah! It hurts!" All Yukari could do was keep writhing in pain and groaning about it. Her senses were going haywire and she was feeling very cold despite how sweaty her body was getting.

When Haruka came in she'll see the same thing. But when Haruka called for Yukari, she paused for just a second to call out. "Ha-Haruka, help me please, it hurts so much!" There were bruises all over Yukari's body from the beating she received, as well as her left leg in a cast, which was starting to slip out as Yukari was using her powers to get out of it. That wasn't good however as her leg started bleeding from the wounds inflicted on her, which just made Yukari panic even more and caused blood to drip onto the bed. The heartbeat monitor Yukari was hooked up to was reading Yukari's heart beats faster and faster as she was panicking. She knew she had to calm down, but this pain was so intense she couldn't think of anything but how to make the pain stop. She thought if maybe if she could just hold onto something tight, it would all go away. Put pressure on everything until it turned purple and numb. But her powers wouldn't let that happen; no matter how she twisted or turned her body she'd always feel this pain. It was unbearable.

Adriane had gotten a call from the hospital, Yukari, who she took into her home so she could escape her past and go to school was apparently hurt in a battle. She was picking up Mia when she got the call and rushed over to the hospital as fast as she can. She also got a call from midge saying Manda was in the hospital for over exerting herself as well, and her husband Lance was still there after bringing her and another school girl in who got hurt in an attack. What the hell was happening today? Why are kids being targeted?

It took her a bit to get through traffic but she made it there, got to the front desk and got her room number, Looking at the map next to the front desk she suddenly puffed out of existence in a small cloud of black smoke and reappeared in Yukari’s room as she was yelling and thrashing about. Leaving Mia to make her way up the normal way.

Shocked for a moment to see her like this, never before seeing her this distressed. She narrowed her eyes as she moved to her side saying quite loudly in a motherly stern tone “YUKARI” loud enough to make sure she heard her over her screaming, at least to stop her from yelling and thrashing around for a second. She would use this opportunity to get close to her and put her hands on her face, turning her head to face her she placed her own forehead against Yukari’s.

Yuki dear, I need you calm down. Her voice was now much more calm and soothing, just as a mother would her child. Take a deep breath. That's it, breath and calm yourself. Can you do that for me hunny? The thrashing about is only making it worse...

She let her left hand fall from Yukari’s face and pointed to the other girl, who she didn’t realize was the same one from the gym. Snapping her fingers twice to get her attention. “Can you cap that needle for me please? she said calmly while Pointing to the girl, and then the needle’s head which was starting to pour out blood due to being under Yukari’s heart. She couldn't reach it from her angle.

She kissed Yukari’s forehead and pulled her into a close embrace.”What happened to you sweetheart? How did this happen...tell me everything.” At this moment she was getting slightly irritated that the nurses had not arrived yet. Glancing around she tried to find the call button but in the thrashing about, Yukari must have knocked it under her bed.

She glanced around and noticed the other girl who was standing there shocked. Haruka was her name, having just caught that end of her yelling when she popped in. Haruka was it? I need you to grab the deaf nurses down the hall and bring them here quickly please.

Roy began fidgeting wtih his bandaged finger as it was quite off putting to see Dulga capable of showing sympathy, he always took her for the quiet savage type. He simply shook his head as Dulga told them to be prepared, they most likely wouldn't attack anytime soon but even though, none of them were capable of taking them on, they only survived because they were ordered not to kill them. The boy let out a deep sigh before straightening himself out in the wheel chair.

"The five of us, Takeshi, Michiko, Kaida, Reina, and I were going out to pick up a few things, before then we decided to grab a bite of ramen. After being seated was when the attack began as a Semi smashed into the restuarant out of nowhere though it was most likely caused by the shadow clan as some kind of diversion, we fell right into there trap as we tried to escape through the back of the restuarant as it was the only way out. The back exit led into a shady allway layered with a thick black fog that chilled your lungs as you breathed it in. Thats when the first member appeared, a man who wore a wolf mask over his face, his quirk allowed him to make creatures from the shadows around him. Specifically wolves. While Takeshi was fighting with him we were dealing with his mutts.

Roy turned his head to the window, before rolling his chair forward a bit towards the bed. "We barely managed to fight off the guys lowly pawns off, if it wasn't for Riena unleashing her power and Aurelia arriving we would have been toast. Around then was when Kaida sustained critical damage. I'm not sure what happened after that point as things got destructive, so I took myself out of the fight to protect Kaida who was defensless...that was when another member appeared. He wasn't like the others in anyway, in fact the others shadow clan members were afraid of him it seemed. The guy simply...just took her away, like it was the easiest thing in the world, I tried to retaliate but he shut my attack down with a single hand which is how I ended up like this...everything after that was pretty hazy. I remember reinforcments coming."

Roy had an annoyed look plastered on his face as looked towards Dulga, "There was a lot of hidden messages, things I didn't understand. They said Kaida would now be under their protection...and also. That they wouldn't kill me out of respect for my father."

Just thinking about all that has happeend and the reasoning caused his head to hurt, "They're leagues above us Dulga, we only survived because they were ordered not to kill us. If they wanted to we could be dead whenever they so please." He clenched his fists just at the thought of being defensless. Even Donny and Yukari had suffered as well. Soon Mako entered the room to check up on all of them as well as neatly scoop Donny into place. She asked how everyone was doing but Roy simply sucked his teeth and turned his face the other way

@Lucius Cypher@Silver Carrot@Norschtalen@Heartfillia

"Fool. Just don't cause any more grief for me or the next time you'll be paying an arm and a leg." was how the girl replied to his statement. Considering her tone, he almost wasn't sure if she had intended to make a joke there, but if it wasn't she would've had to be really dim, which is something he didn't want to think of her as without cause. He smiled a bit, stifling the laughter that was trying to come out as a result of the contrast between her appearance and tone to the nature of the joke. It really was something.

"Alright, alright, I will not actively seek to cause you grief. Probably." if he'd said he wasn't without uncertainty, then he might be a liar.

As they approached the nurse's office, Toru briefly contemplated informing his escort that this trip was pretty meaningless. What would a school nurse even do? Put a band-aid on a missing limb? Wouldn't it be better to take him to a hospital? Then again, it was a hero academy, so probably the nurse might've had some kind of healing quirk, like his own mother. Not that that mattered, though. A missing limb wasn't anything serious to Toru, so the effort was wasted regardless.

It was probably best not to reveal this to her.

Thankfully, although somewhat disappointing as well, moments after they'd arrived Tarata suddenly left. Whatever it was the head nurse was speaking about presumably intrigued her, and so she left him with some instruction and bolted out the door.

Today seems like a rather busy day for people, judging by the sudden exits I've seen so far.

His observation and alone time with the nurse was quickly ended with the appearance of other individuals. Most notable of which, in his opinion, had to be the pink-haired girl who entered first, but apparently some people had been 'sparring' and had gotten injured. The girl happened to notice Toru and his lack of a limb. ”Oh no! What happened to you!? You’re missing your arm!” she exclaimed in the most straightforward way possible. It legitimately surprised him as he was expecting her to be like the others and not have a strong reaction, so it was briefly apparent on his face. He was also a bit confused as to why she was casually dismissing her own injuries as if they were nothing. Was she some kind of weirdo.

Wait a second...!

"U-uh, yeah, so it would seem." he would go so far as to say she'd managed to screw with him, intentionally or not, in the very way he wanted to mess with others. Toru wasn't actually too used to others getting him, so he had a hard time replying. It was pretty embarrassing, actually, and not being in control of the situation made him feel a bit nervous. "Anyways," he began, wishing to regain his composure, "I've got to hand it to you, I didn't think to downplay a serious injury was a specialty I shared with others. You and your friends can go on ahead, I'll be fine."

Still, he had to wonder. How violent was this school?

"...do people beat each other up in this school often, though, or is this some special circumstance?" he glanced at the black-haired catgirl? who'd remained quiet but was quite obviously one of the people who had supposedly sparred. His question, however, was more directed towards either the pink-haired girl, considering she was the more talkative of the people there or the other girl who had come with her. And as he did so, his arm suddenly grew back as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Reina made no expression when the man allowed Roy through, which itself gave her some pause. She had expected him to back down. The realization of the confidence she had had in herself in that moment felt strange.

As though reading her mind, Roy spoke to her. The girl's eyes widened as he admitted to looking up to her. Foreign feelings washed over her that she couldn't even begin to describe. Confusion, denial, even a bit of pride among others, all mixed together. She physically took an involuntary step back, keeping herself near the entrance to the room, but out of the way.

As quiet as ever, she watched the scene around her, the weight of everything preventing her from fully processing her surroundings. Her balance wavered a few times, but she managed to stay upright. She fought to stay upright. Roy... looked up to her. A day ago, she would have dismissed anyone else saying so as a liar. But after all that had happened, and coming so genuinely from Roy, she had no choice but to believe it despite her nature.

She had always done her best to hide her negativity behind a--admittedly slightly gloomy--expression. Showing weakness had never done anything for her, so the desire she had now--to hide all the pain, and all the emotion she was experiencing--wasn't too unusual. It was something she knew she could do. And with someone who looked up to her in the very same room, she'd make sure to hide it all even better than she ever had.

That was what heroes did, after all. If she wanted to be able to ever consider herself one, she had to act like it first.

Without realizing it, the Reina had begun wearing the nearly imperceptible smile of genuine happiness, that rarely appeared on her lips.

Her body wavered again, forcing her to lean her back against the wall. She glanced to Ms. Akane as the woman spoke, and then looked to Donny. After a moment, she opened her mouth, finding herself struggling more with speaking than she expected.

"Akane-sensei... I... I can help bring Yang-san to... the boy's room..." she said through heavy breaths.

While she wasn't exactly sure how to transport Donny as he was now, she wanted him to get help, and she wanted to see Takeshi... maybe that was why she had felt some amount of confidence in helping Roy enter this room. She had been relating to him, without fully realizing it.

The girl stepped forward away from the wall she was leaning on towards Ms. Akane and the puddle that was Donny.

Chuckling at the boy's joke, Mamoru just shook her shoulders energetically. "What can I say, I'm up to my elbows on pain killers!" Not true, Mamoru wasn't even given any anesthetic when they were fixing her arms. The current ointment was just meant to help the flesh heal, not dull the pain. Mamoru was just hiding the pain within herself. She whistled when the mysterious boy regrew his limp, which made Mamoru clap by slapping her one good hand against her shoulder. "Wowzers! Is that your quirk? Super healing? I wish I could do that. I'm stuck with these bandages for a few more days." As for his question about the violence in this school, Mamoru nodded eagerly. "Totally! Violence is inherent in the system! Why on my first day of class, I decapitated a student by crashing through a moving semitruck, dropped a couple tons of construction equipment on some kids I was fighting, and was ran over by that truck I crashed into after breaking my spine! Later that day as I was going to my next class I also got into a fight with ah... Thirty odd robots shooting at me with rubber bullets. Those hurt! Oh and I was thrown out of the second story window. Surprisingly not the worse thing that had happened to me that night. I stubbed my toe as I was getting out of the showers and that hurt like a bitch."

Mamoru began to wave her arms around even more erratically, looking a bit like a chicken as she kept talking. "In fact just a few days ago when I got these injuries, I got shot three times and slingshot about a hundred yards between buildings! Then I got beaten around with a metal stick, shot a few more times, and then had part of a roof fall on my head. I think? Anyways after that I punched a black hole. Hence why my arms are so beat up right now." After regaling the boy with her tall tale, she skipped off to Nurse Kiwi to get her attention. "Nurse Kiwi! My friends need your attention please. They're still a bit sore from their fight. Also I think I'm bleeding from my wounds." Mamoru was now actively pressing on the wounds she had reopened due to her insistent arm movements.

"Ugh! Th-th-that's c-c-c-cold sensei!" Though sure enough, Donny's form started to retract into a slightly more manageable lump as oppose to a giant puddle on the floor. Though Donny was still delirious from his pain and the medicine that had been unwittingly pumped into him to help deal with that pain, he had a vague idea that maybe he should go, but wasn't sure where he was suppose to be. Still he knew he had to get moving. Somewhere. "I-I-I'll just b-b-b-b-be going n-now..." Mustering what strength he can to form limbs, he created two large hands, using his bones to give them structure while wrapping his black mass around them to provide padding. Though he struggles he stand once he gets moving he's able to keep going on his own, at least until he needs to stop and take a breather. "Gotta go... Somewhere..." Donny doesn't even get out of the room before he stops against the door frame panting heavily. He was going to need some help.

As Hibiki was drinking from a water fountain she turned to look at Hitomi. Her eyes were locked into a glare, though that wasn't unusual for her. She shook her head at the girl's question. "No. I was only here for this challenge and for a favor. Tori and his gang will have to win the next two challenges without me." As Hibiki turned to leave she left with some cryptic but judgemental words for Hitomi. "And don't think for a second that this Komei Collective thing is suppose to help anyone but those 1B stooges. You're either very ignorant or on their side if you haven't heard about the sort of power play they've been doing throughout the school. Tori's concerns about this collective isn't wrong, and by doing these challenges he's played right into their game. A game you're helping Tori lose." Hibiki didn't bother to stick around and elaborate as she left. Asahi gave Hitomi a quick text that they were moving onto the next challenge in a class room, giving her the location of the class so she can join up.

Meanwhile back at the field Asahi rallied his people back together. "Alright everyone! Hitomi-chan won us the first challenge, but we still got two more to go! If we can win the second one we're a shoe in, but let's not get cocky. I suspect that Tori and his gang might have something underhanded in mind, so stay on your toes. The next challenge is going to be Karaoke in the 1B homeroom. We've already got equipment set up there. Tomoe-chan," Asahi looked to the sleepy looking Pinkette. He smiled and extended his hand towards her. "Hitomi-chan seems to put a lot of trust in you, so I'll trust you too! If you win I promise to give you something nice. You like pillows?" As he chatted with Tomoe, the group would be on the move. Asahi texted Hitomi their location as they were en route.

Dulga listened quietly, not even showing an inch of emotion when Donny mentioned him. "Kensai is here. I knew it. I fucking knew it." This was worse than she thought. There wasn't just people after them; it was like the ghosts of their past was coming back to haunt them. This nightmare wasn't going to end until they were all dead or worse. But this wasn't a dream and they weren't that powerless. They might not be strong now, but next time this happens they will be. Dulga will make sure of that. First she looked down to Donny and thought about Yukari. Dulga had fought alongside Yukari in the previous hero class battle. She seemed weak to her, but she had a lot of guts to go up against Kensai. Dulga would make it a point to see her soon and pay her respects. Then Dulga looked to Ken. His story gave Dulga a lot of questions to ask, but also answered a few. In fact just about everything she had suspected was more or less correct. Takeshi and his sister was from the Shadow Clan, if his quirk and the quirk of those who attacked them were any indication. All shadow based. Roy's father also had some hand in his survival, and while it might be too soon to make this assumption, she assumed that Roy's father may be in league with the Shadow Clan. She's never heard of a villain who legitimately respects a hero after all. At least not one who's alive. And of course Kaida; they were after her too. Why, Dulga didn't know. She could guess. But she knows that Kaida is a target for capture.

Finally Roy warned that these villains were leagues above them. Dulga shook her head and stood up. "You're right. But not for reasons you think. This Shadow Clan, Kensai, and any other villain who might be involved, they're exactly what we're suppose to be facing as villains. So yeah they're much stronger than us. Because we're weaker than your average hero." Walking over to Kaida's side, Dulga unclasped her cloak and draped it over Kaida. It would warm her better than the thin hospital blankets given to her. Dulga moved some hair out of Kaida's face and caressed her cheek. She felt sorry that Kaida had to go through all of this, and Dulga wasn't going to stand idly by and let it happen again. None of this was going to happen again if Dulga has any say in it. "Run or hide they will find us. So heal up and get stronger. And I don't just mean working on your body and quirk." Dulga tapped the side of her head. "This isn't a friendly spar. There won't be any training. If you can't match convictions with a villain you will die. Plus... There's more than just your life on the line now. They're after Takeshi's life, his sister too. Someone intends to take Kaida away from us. Fight like everyone's life depends on it."

Dulga turns away from Kaida and Roy, walking past Mako, Reina, and Donny. "In case I haven't made it obvious enough... It's kill or be killed. Your choice." Dulga knew those words were going to shock some of them. They're going to question her. Very likely they'll try and stop her. But she wasn't going to let them. Time was running out much faster than Dulga had anticipated and now was not the time for fun and games. There was no way Dulga knows if or when these people will strike again, and they certainly weren't going to do it when they're all ready. So Dulga had to go. She needed to get ready for when the villains after Kaida, after Takeshi, and possibly after everyone else, comes baring down onto all of them. It was stressful but Dulga had been preparing for this moment ever since her mother died. It was time to put it all into action.

Jett studied Haruka’s features and noticed her lack of color and her tired eyes. He let out a sigh as he closed his eyes. Haruka was in so much pain mentally it was clearly showing. He didn’t say anything as he just waited. The cocky mischievous girl he grew up with wasn’t really standing in front of him. She just looked...defeated.

When she asked him what he would of done, Honestly he didn’t know what he could have done at first, but when he was about to say, she answered for him, and she got part of it right...he would have ran to her her and did anything he could have. But when she added the part ‘even when it was none of his business. He felt a pang of hurt in his chest, his head pulling back in shock really.

He didn’t know what to say really, he stood there dumbfounded that she thought that this wasn’t his business. She was his best friend! Of course he would want to know, Screw training and becoming a hero, His friends and family were important. His hands clenched into fists, he tried to find the words to tell her, but again she started to speak before he could even get the words compiled. As she then came out with the real reason. He shook his head and closed his eyes when her voice was about to crack. He always had a hard time with girls crying, but seeing Haruka on the verge was painful for him.

He then said softly, Baka... As she would look at him she could see a sad smile on his face ”If we are going to be honest, yeah I am sorry for the pain you’ve been through these last few months. But that's because I care about you. I’m sorry that's how it is, but I wouldn’t always be sorry for you, because I know you and you will get over this. When life gave you lemons, you made spaghetti.” He said with a little dorky grin.

He cocked his head to the side, Also what good have you done? Well you are my best friend. That's number one in my book. You helped me get control over my quirk and pushed me to do better.

He sighed and placed both of his hands on her shoulders. ”It’s unfortunate that you lost your leg. But this isn’t the end of your story Haruka, you can still can do good. When you get used to it, I know you’re going to turn this around into a positive. I don’t know how, that’s for you to figure out. But I want you to know that no matter what, I’m going to be there and support you in whatever you decide to do. Alright?
Suddenly he teleported again this time appearing just inches in front of her having been a few feet away before. Surely this would have caused her fall backwards at the sudden change in distance, But Jett was quick enough to managed to grab her waist before she actually fell and pulled her back and into his arms as he hugged her. ”S-sorry about that.” He said as he turned red in the face.

Retha continued to follow Spark through the hallways keeping her preferred distance away from him to avoid being directly seen yet still close enough to overhear his private conversations. One such conversation leads her to confront him directly when he turned the corner and seemingly ignored Ms. Mako only to be stopped by the former villain and initiated casual conversation. The two moved slightly closer to one another seemingly in a trance, lost in the memory of what was, something she knew all too well due to her own past dealings with the man she loved. Incidentally becoming lost in her own memories caused her to zone out of listening in on the Mako and Spark’s conversation. Only snapping out of it when Mako called the man Jean-Luc indicating that Sparks wasn’t a real government name, but really go her attention was when she asked him why he was here to which he admitted seeing Kaida on the television made rush over here as well as the fact he’s known her since she was very young something her own mother didn’t get the privilege to partake in. Grinding her teeth and grinding them down in anger, it didn’t take much to understand he knew Draco personally enough to know about Kaida and by extension herself. Once they were finished and walked a good distance away before she was pulled him away from the sky knights and Acion to have a 'word with the doctor about the student's health'

“Impersonating a doctor, collaborating with and threatening an obvious villain as well as an organization, and a confession that you know that the shadow clan is directly involved and knowing their motive refused to communicate these facts with the authorities” She explained stepping forward back held straight and chest poked out

“The best part about this suit is that it records audio/visual now I could forgive literally everything I’ve scooped out in the past hour if you tell me what exactly you know about my daughter” she growled looking the man dead in his soul.

Momo’s attention was brought back to this zone when she was instructed to cap off the needle something she achieved with relative ease although her hand was still being kept damp with UPW. Returning to her former position next to Adriane who was tending to the in distress student waiting for further orders being that she instructed the other girl to get a nurse.

@Aerandir@Heartfillia

After the cat gathering event had ended Hitomi was buried under a layer of cats giving away that she was the clear winner. Tomoe cheered for Hitomi as came up closer to Hitomi. Hitomi was softly pushing the cats off of her as Tomoe approached. Tomoe still kept her distance from the cats as she was scared to go haywire with her allergy again. Hitomi looked like a mess, her hair was 10 different ways as her hands and legs had been covered with small scratching marks. Tomoe gave a look of awkwardness as she tried cheering Hitomi up with another cheer.



Shortly after Hitomi had brushed off all the cats Hitomi and Asahi both asked her if she actually could sing. Tomoe shot up in surprise, she had been caught off guard by the sudden question. Did it seem like she couldn't sing? Were they expecting the most wonderous singing voice out of her!? Tomoe was getting a little nervous for the next challenge.



Tomoe glanced away a little as she was fiddling with her fingers. She never let others hear her singing before apart from Mamoru she actually didn't really know what was defined as good. Hitomi chan had already taken the leg again and ran after the girl she had competed with. It looked like she was somewhat hurted by the loss.

Asahi started his speech while Hitomo left. They already had their stuff ready in a room so that they could do karaoke, when he was almost done he faced Tomoe. Tomoe only shortly nodded in confirmation. She didn't know what to expect of her opponent but she surely was nervous.

Asahi somewhat calmed her down as he let her know that hitomi and him trusted her to win this. And if she did there was something nice in for her. Tomoe nodded.

Of course he knew they weren't supposed to be on par with such villains, its one thing to see them overwhelm him and his comrades and another to see them overwhelm the pros. "Because we're weaker than your average hero." Weaker, weak. He was beginning to really hate that word, why exactly? Because it has pretty much defined his journey towards becoming a pro. Roy sat idly watching Dulga place her jacket over Kaida, letting her words just sink in a bit. The idea of having to possibly kill a villain has crossed his mind before but he didn't think he would need to give it more thought so soon. Was it really the right thing to do? Was it something that he could actually pull off, maybe under extreme conditions.

The boy rolled his chair slowly towards Kaidas bed with a gloomy expression, "To your question earlier Sensei, we are all fine. Our injuries will heal soon enough and without fail."

Life is too precious to just wasteaway killing people, I don't know if I could kill anyone, not as the person who I am right now. Taking another persons life is extremely selfish, it was something Roy couldn't do right now. He knew Dulga wasn't the nicest person but it seems like there was more to her, she planned on taking their lives if the opportunity appeared and apparently without any hesitation. As badly as Roy wanted to protect everyone like Dulga does, he didn't plan on falling prey to the pressure she was trying to put on himself. If he had the choice, he wasn't going to kill anyone, in order to do that he would have to get a whole lot more powerful to be on par with those guys.

Before Dulga would leave, Roy just had to put in his 2 cents."I understand what you mean, yet are you really asking for us to try and kill these guys? I want to be a hero not a viglante, taking someone elses life isn't the first thought to comes to mind for me though. Regardless of the situation, if I don't need to take my enemies life then i'll refrain from doing so, in fact i'd rather try to understand their reasoning before I make such a decisive decision because once you kill someone there is no reset button. If I make that choice it will have to be the only choice I have left."

Roy coulnd't help but feel a darkness looming from Dulga, it somewhat frightened him yet also sparked curiosity. What could possibly have sparked her reasoning behind wishing to take another persons life, even at such a young age. They were only freshmans in highschool after all. Yet on top of that fear and curiosity, he felt annoyed by the words she spoke, it was as if she wanted him to think like her. To conform to her own thinking as if it was correct.

Roy rolled his wheelchair over to the chair that Dulga was once sitting in before, the boy then clasped his hands together tightly before spreading them apart. Inbetween his arms a large rod had been extending from his palm, on the right end there was a smooth hook which put the finish on what was supposed to be a cane. He placed it on the ground before pushing his body up and out of the wheel chair, using the cane as support. He then carefully plopped himself into the seat before letting out a deep sigh. Roy wasn't going to allow Dulga to lead her friends down such a dark path, bearing the sin of manslaughter at such a young age will only lead to misery.

Sparks nodded as Aurellia explained that it was another group that that helped save the young former shadowclan member. That he was still undertreatment. Personally he wanted to meet this lad who was brave enough...or foolish… to go against his families way of life. He could be a major asset later on.

He glanced at the others who mentioned the mental scars. They were pups..of course there were going to be scars...honestly anyone could have been scared from seeing that. Having seen the brutality the shadowclan could dish out before. They were not a group to be dealt lightly with. ”Of course, all of them including you lad should talk about it with someone soon. That is not something you keep bottled up inside. He said looking right at Acion. He knew first hand on bottling things up.

Sparks weren’t the only one looking at Acion, but all three of the pro heroes present there. A pro hero must always be ready for the mental impact of having to constantly face danger. Unspoken rule. The only one who might not have grasp it was him.

Having all the adults present looking at him, and the gaze, even though not judging, could really appeared to be judging, could be a little daunting. He looked away slightly, but then gathered all possible strength and courage he had and took to reply to him.

”I’ll keep that in mind, sir.” He turned looking at his older sister, wordlessly conveying the hidden message.

He nodded in approval to Acion’s response, then looked to Aurellia and bowed his head. “Excuse me, how terribly rude of me, My name is Jean-Luc Sparks. It is a honor to meet a real Angel, the rumors of your beauty do you no justice.” He took her hand gently into his and bent down and kissed it, when he did she could feel a slight tingling of what seemed to be electricity from her lips. Nothing to leave a mark or hurt at all, but pleasurable.

”Oh…” She was really wasn’t expecting such a greetings. And that gentle feeling on her lips. What?

Everybody around her could see a slight hue of pink on her face, one was trying to hide his slight irritation, but she quickly regathered her composure. ”Thank you very much for your compliment Mr Jean-Luc Sparks.”

He then glanced to the black hair. Allowing Aurellia to have her hand back “As well as the woman with a fighting spirit of a Dragon…” He said with a mischievous smile. Such strong and beautiful eyes as well. Kissing her hand with the same effect.

For the dragon-girl, she was more prepared, and somewhat less of a romanticist type. But still she replied to his politeness. ”Thank you sir.”

He glanced at the two men and while he knew of Albert, he knew nothing of the boy. “It's a pleasure to meet you both as well.” He said with a smile and slight nod.

They both returned the nod with respect, despite his earlier attempt. Was just politeness, that’s all, they dismissed.

He looked to Mako when she explained what she needed to do and wanting to meet up afterward. He smiled hearing the flirtation in her voice loud and clear, nodding to her as he agreed to meet her in the lobby. He watched her leave and cocked his head to the side as she hurried to help the blob student. Though his eyes wasn’t on the student… He snapped out of it when he noticed Retha walking right towards him. He straightened himself and looked back to Aurelia and the others when she explained she needed to ask him some medical things.

A slightly confused look on his face. Wait, she thought he was a doctor? Well he ‘played’ doctor before, but never really went to school for it. He bowed his head in respect to the two women in front of him, Aurellia and Dragonov. “If you ladies will please excuse me. I will be right back. “ He said with a wink. Before being half dragged away.

”Wait, so he’s a doctor?” Dragunov asked confusedly, as if she couldn’t believe a man dressing like that being a doctor. Just look at the other doctors. He doesn’t look the same.

”I don’t know but our ‘mother’ doesn’t sound like she is treating him so.” Aurelia replied, noticing the differing tone from Retha just as she approached Sparks. ”But anyway. The students must have awakened. Would you like to come in there, young brother?”

”Of course.” He replied as they all moved apart to let him and his giant wings through. ”Wait, you aren’t coming?”

”Unless necessary.” She shrugged her shoulder. Professional heroes are like the representative of the justice system, aside from the police. And cases of re-victimization due to them aren’t that rare, so she should keep her distance for now, unless they want to meet her. Hopefully later when they are better, she, or maybe her team could address them better.

Acion shrugged as he came to the door, only to be met by Dulga as she left in a hurry, her coat hugging her body. He quickly stepped to the side not to get in her way. Damn that girl is always in a hurry.

After Dulga left, the door was still creaking open as Acion held onto it. But before entering, it took him a few seconds to get himself calmed. He was not sure how his friends would see him as he ran away in the middle of combat like that. Although his intent was not at all cowardice, not all people see things his way.

”Everyone. Please tell me you’re alright.”

When they came to a stop and far enough to have a private conversation. She instantly dropped the act. He stood there as she accused him of different things, and all he could think was…really?’ his eyebrow raised as Retha tried to threaten him. His arms folded across his chest as she casually listened to her. Looking right back into her fiery emotion filled eyes. The woman clearly never played poker in her life. Throwing all her cards out on the table like she had an unbeatable hand.

He cleared his throat and said calmly, as his brilliant Gold eyes studied her suit with great detail. I never said i was a doctor ma’am. You just assumed that I was, and honestly i didn’t even think you thought that till you accused me. He noted the best location for a body cam and pointed his finger casually so his palm was up, as if using his hand to prove a point. Suddenly a little Zap and the smell of Ozone filled the air, as a tiny arc was directed at her camera and mic frying the circuits of that system and its core. But leaving everything else intact. Wouldn’t do to have her go volcanic in the hospital.

His bored expression turned into an amused grin. “Thanks for telling me.” His whole body seemed to relax in front of her as he leaned his back against the wall. “Next time you try to follow someone, don’t use such a powerful perfume. Some people have a nose for it. He said while tapping his nose with his right forefinger. ” I do appreciate the fine choice though. I always liked the smell of Sunflowers.”

He then raised that same finger up to start with bullet point one. ”First off, I doubt your microphone was strong enough to hear my conversation from that distance, let alone on top of a windy roof. Your camera is useless after the loss of that. Obvious Villain?’ The guy literally walked right by you and you did nothing. So I wouldn’t call him Obvious… and clearly if you couldn’t hear our conversation again your mic wouldn’t have picked it up. There is no collaboration between me and him. Threatening isn’t a crime. “ he said, his eyes never leaving hers.” I also haven’t had a chance to even talk with the authorities as Kaida was my priority, never had I said I refuse to reveal it. Though I’m sure that pretty girl with the wings could piece it together having fought them. So my input isn’t urgant.

He paused, looking at her puffed up expression which only made him smile more. “But a Pro hero resorting to Blackmail...is very disappointing. Though I guess this is the reason why they leave the police work to police and ’Heros’ to capture them. “

Now... He said pushing himself off the wall using his back. Allowing his hands to fall and slapp against his thighs. Why would I tell you more about Kaida again? When you clearly are not in control of your emotions. You could do more harm to her emotionally.”

"Hey, wait!" Hitomi called out to Hibiki, but she was already gone. Her words were bringing about feelings of concern and worry in Hitomi, though nit full distrust, not yet. She had heard about a substantial portion of the 1B class acting like some kind of clique, but surely this Komei collective, and idea full pf promise and possibilities, wasn't just a scheme for that clique to take power...Hitomi didn't know how well she'd cope to getting used like that. She'd rarely been angry before, always trying to see things on the bright side, and letting metal give vent to her emotions in private. This was because, when she was a child, if she ever got angry...

Hitomi reached up to touch her rock-hard sheep horns, and sighed. It was no use regretting things you did when you were four years old, even if that thing was putting a bully in the hospital. That was probably when she vowed to be nice and help people; when she was sitting in that waiting room, the fellow four year old's parents, faces red from crying, looking at you as if you were the cruelest, nastiest monster to ever grace the planet.

Hitomi's phone went off. It was time for the next event, which was to take place in the 1B classroom; Karaoke. Hitomi had never heard Tomoe sing, but she imagined Tomoe would be a good singer. Hitomi was a rather poor singer. She would know, as she'd dreamed of singing metal a few years ago, and tried recording herself. The results...weren't good.

As Hitomi was already in the school building when she received the text, she actually reached the 1B classroom first, and entered. Her ears drooped when she saw, standing in the middle of the room, their opponents. They had shoulder length silver hair, bright blue eyes, and were wearing a green and white dress, a hairband, and a very sweet smile. Hitomi only knew of Seiko by reputation, as the 'Karaoke Queen' or 'The Idol of Class 1-B', or during exercises, as 'Wireframe'.

He was also a crossdresser.

Mako raised her eyebrow at the cold reception from Roy, but before she had time to adress this, Dulga started to talk. Mako saved this information for later. Roy was upset with her about something? Was it the Villain Psychology class incident? Was it that she was a villain?She'd have to find out. In the meantime, she listened to Dulga, and grew increasingly concerned at her speech. When Dulga left, but while she was still in earshot, Mako cleared her throat and looked around. "Alternatively, you could all keep yourselves safe, let the professionals do the fighting, and finish your education. By then you'd actually be qualified to take villains on and wouldn't be recklessly and needlessly risking your lives. Also, proper Superheroes don't kill people. Ever. No exceptions. But that's your choice, if you'd rather become a vigilante, or a police officer."

She sighed, watching Donny try to leave. "Thank you, Reina. Are you able to use your quirk to help? I can understand if you can't but it would make things easier."

@pkken@Riegal@Lucius Cypher@Norschtalen

By now her hands had been carefully warpped up in bandages to cover up the skin that was shred during her little... exercise. Watching her hands that were now hidden behind the white cloth, Ruby remembered seeing drawings online of people who think that these kind of bandages that would cover people's hands look aesthetically pleasing or maybe even cool. Though Ruby was used to have some similar form of black cloth above her wrists up to her elbow, since she would use that in combination with her quirk in many useful ways and not even all of them combat-related as it just served as a multitool for her, having these bandages on her hands was new for her. In any case however, Ruby was thankful for the oppertunity to have her wounds treated and attended to. Once she was done, the catgirl bowed forward to Kiwi; She always valued respect and manners. "Thank you very much for treating my wounds"

By now, Ruby's physical and social energy was basically drained. Someone who wasn't used to social interaction too much would only end up being uncomfortable meeting one new person after the other. After all, she had already met Persia today and at this point the attention had shifted to someone with a peculiar quirk, but sadly not enough to keep the catgirl there. She just wanted to lay down in her bed and read her books. On her own. Maybe listen to music? She could drink some tea too! The more the neko thought about it, the more it became clear that she wanted to head to her room. Besides, she also felt physically exhausted too of course. While she was pretty good at pretending to not be completely exhausted, there was no way she would do any more workout today.
Ruby headed towards the door and spoke to Persia and Mamoru. "Thank you very much for accompanying me to the Nurse's Office. I'll go to my room now though, I could use some rest. I'll see you guys around." Despite talking in her common neutral voice, it shouldn't seem unfriendly towards Mamoru or Persia, who were somewhat used to Ruby's monotonous voice by now. To Toru it might have seemed a bit off, but Ruby made sure to nod to him in order to say goodbye to him too. She was sure they'd meet again eventually, he seemed to be their age.
And with that, Ruby left the room.

At the talking of the others in the room, Kaida squirmed in her bed, feeling slightly more comfrotated when a heavy cloak was put on her. Slowly her eyes opened up to Mako speaking up to Dulga as she walked away. She groaned as woke up but she didn’t say anything. She was in a blur really, not understanding where she was.. She smelt dulga though… but didn’t see her. That is till she saw the green cloak over her shoulder.

She finally re-adjusted her eyes to see Riena talking to Ms. Mako who was helping a blob...or was that donny? She also Michiko laying down and Roy having just moved himself into a chair next to her bed. She sighed in relief seeing them all alright.

She sniffed again and smelt something...old. She couldn’t place it. She groaned in confusion as she tried to move, wincing in pain as she moved her arms and pushed against the bed. Her burns acting up again. Falling back onto her side as she held her hands up. Against her chest.

Roy had decided to take a slight rest after plopping down in the chair, the boy closed his eyes for a bit but shortly after he could hear rustling from the bed. He opened one eye to peek at what was going on though seeing Kaida awake quickly made him open both eyes. It seems as though she was trying to get out of bed despite still being far too injured to move.

It seems as though the wounds on her hands were still far too injured to use, just watching her writhe in pain hurt him a bit.

“Your burns are really bad, you should just rest and let your injuries heal”

Kaida looked at him with narrowed eyes.
“Says the one who had to use a light cane to move himself.” She said a bit snippy.

Roy was taken back by her feistiness a bit, his eyes growing a bit wide but soon a smile fell on his face as he found it really cute. He decided to play her game

“At least I can actually move around unlike you, ever heard of Walk it off?” He folded his arms after as he poked the bear.

She huffed, as he tried to be smart with her.
“My legs are fine Baka. I don’t think Limping or rolling around in a wheelchair counts as ‘walking it off’” She added. While Shifting the blankets and cloak up to her nose with her shoulder.

“Wow that’s pretty cold Kaida” he said smirking as he placed a hand on his heart acting as if he was hurt, he watched as she retreated under the blanket and cloak. “If your gonna take my advice and go to sleep, don’t make baby noises this time.”

Her eyes shot open as she looked at Roy, She was glad her covers are up to her nose. Her cheeks had reddened as she asked. “W-what?” Muffled under the blanket.

He smiled when he knew he had gained control of the situation, “When I woke up I came over here to come check on you and make sure you were all right but you were sleeping, while you were doing so you’d occasionally whine.” Roy wanted to mimic the noises she made badly but decided to spare her.

She calmed down. Whining was one thing, she was in pain. That's not really embarrassing. She thought he meant something else. She glanced around the room and then focused on the chair Roy was sitting in. There was a black suit coat draped over the back of it. She thought it odd as she didn’t know any man who wore one...at least in the same country as her.
”Whose is that? she asked as she motioned with her eyes to the coat behind roy

Roy turned around seeing the jacket on the in which kaida had been pointing towards. “I think that belongs to some guy named sparks...do you know him? You were mumbling his name while you slept, almost as if you were asking for him.” He was pretty curious as to who this guy was.

Her face reddened again. She said Sparks? And clearly this was the baby noises he was referring to, just trying to throw it back into the conversation. She turned away from Roy, her back to him. She felt pain in her chest as the name brought up Memories.
Not funny Roy. If you don’t know dont try and tease me at the same time.”

Roy scratched the side of his head, “That’s the only person I could think of, Dulgas coat is on top of you, and there wasn’t anyone who entered this room with a cloak on when I was here.Sparks seemed like he could be the owner of this coat, it even compliments his outfit.” He placed his hand on her shoulder, “is something the matter?”

Kaida listened to roy and pulled her shoulder away when he touched her. He was still going with that story? Though he didn’t have a joking tone in his voice. She then rolled back over and gave him a really serious look. “He really called himself Mr. Sparks? she asked. As if daring him to say yes.

Roy’s heart started beating a bit quicker, he didn’t know much about Sparks at all and the way Kaida was reacting as well as being in this hospital only made him feel even more anxious. “Yea, Sparks...I even got into a small argument with him because he wouldn’t let me into this room, that’s how I found out he was called sparks...is he someone we should watch out for?” He was a bit cautious now when he spoke.

She narrowed her eyes at him, ”Mr. Sparks was my teddy bear I had when I was younger. You wanna stop using my ‘embarrassing moment' against me and tell me who it really is.

“Teddy bear??” Roy sat in his seat a bit anxious after finding out the truth behind the names Sparks. If that's not even his nickname then who the hell could that guy have possibly been? “I’m telling you as much as I know, but after hearing your side...I am pretty concerned to why this guy came using the name of your teddy bear as a cover up, don’t you think that's pretty weird?.”

"Wowzers! Is that your quirk? Super healing? I wish I could do that. I'm stuck with these bandages for a few more days."

Toru rotated his arm around, almost as if he was getting used to it. "Regrowing" limbs felt weird in comparison to reattaching them, even if there was no difference between the two (other than if his old limb was damaged in some way). He simply was not allowed to go retrieve his old limb because that was a landmine waiting to be discovered by some unsuspecting victim. Intentionally causing a bit of trouble may end up putting him in sight of the teachers and staff, but he couldn't help himself. So, his old arm was probably still where he left it when he 'detached' it from his person earlier, and odds are SOMEONE would eventually find it. He hoped, so dearly, that it would be a damned janitor who left him locked up forever, but that was being idealistic, which Toru wasn't. Anyways, I digress.

"I guess you aren't wrong in that assessment, but I feel just 'super healing' is not giving it enough credit." he brought his new index finger up to his mouth. "Hmm, meh, now I'm just making it sound more complicated than it is. Yeah, super healing works." Ayanokoji's quirk had already gotten a name and it's easy to say... if he wanted to. Healing a limb was surprising to a lot of people, but he could do so much more and the name of his quirk kinda gave it away. If she ended up being a classmate of his, then he'd certainly desire a wonderful reaction from her later on. One that didn't backfire on him, of course.

The zombie student remained silent as she went on to 'answer' his question about violence in the school setting.

"Totally! Violence is inherent in the system! Why on my first day of class, I decapitated a student by crashing through a moving semitruck, dropped a couple tons of construction equipment on some kids I was fighting, and was ran over by that truck I crashed into after breaking my spine! Later that day as I was going to my next class I also got into a fight with ah... Thirty odd robots shooting at me with rubber bullets. Those hurt! Oh and I was thrown out of the second story window. Surprisingly not the worse thing that had happened to me that night. I stubbed my toe as I was getting out of the showers and that hurt like a bitch."

Something nobody knew about Toru was that his deductive skills were of a quality that even the most renowned detectives would envy. Much like a lanky, sleep-deprived detective in a manga about a killer notebook, Ayanokoji was able to make deductions that the average person could never come up with. One such deduction was that this girl was perhaps not telling him the truth about her first day on campus, which was something he was able to reach by utilizing key yet missable clues in her dialogue. And while most of this stuff was very believable and would not cause a person to bat an eye, she betrayed her untruths by leaving in something so obnoxious and blatantly untrue that he could only imagine she'd been victim to an untimely lapse in judgment. Perhaps her brain hiccuped?

Yeah, there's absolutely no way she just casually stubbed her toe and is here today. I hope she wasn't expecting me to believe THAT.

"That's all very interesting." he nodded. "I'll have to keep my eyes open. I am not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but I imagine black holes and low surfaces could be trouble. Your warning is appreciated, miss."

As the pink-haired megane skipped towards the busty nurse, the cat-eared girl who'd arrived with her had decided to depart. Were Toru dirty weeaboo trash, he'd probably jump on the chance to interact with such a person. However, Toru was technically Japanese and thusly was incapable of being a 'weeaboo'. He was an otaku or a NEET. Formerly, rather. You can't be a NEET while you are in school, a bit of information for those ignorant on the subject.

Ignoring yet more digression, Toru likewise nodded to the person. She didn't seem to fond of social outings, but considering his experience with the young lady was the few minutes she'd been in the nurse's office with him, that could always be an exception. Either way, Toru had no reason to stop her from leaving and awaited his turn to meet with the nurse.

I could probably just ask someone else what I need to know, but the huge arm-lady told me to ask her and I don't want to upset her.

...yet.
