There was a slight twitch underneath Shiki's beanie, upon detecting a certain someone shuffling closer to his tree. He was still half asleep after opening and shifting his eyes, only to see Elina sitting there next to him, all huddled up to herself. It took him a moment to register who she was. That's right, she is the torch head who burned off her clothes during the demonstration, he recalled. Although, he was more concerned about the tree they were sitting under.
βOi, you better not start a forest fire with that quirk of yours. I don't feel like getting burned alive today...β He quietly joked.
With that said, he was rather cautious of Elina. Unsure how she would react to his comment. However, he did find her quirk extremely useful. After all, it did have a lot of...firepower.
The sound of the helicopter approaching caught Shiki's attention. He unplugged his tail from the ground and looked up into the sky. So, this is what Guodo-Sensei meant earlier about it becoming 'windy'. At least, it wasn't some kind of weather changing device or god forbid a quirk with equivalent power.
Shiki held onto his beanie to prevent it from flying off, up until the helicopter departed. His eyes were fixated on the unfamiliar teacher/nurse, Uranishi Yataro. For some odd reason, Shiki had a feeling...he is going to become a frequent visitor for Nurse-Sensei. Back to the matter at hand, he listened in to what Nurse-Sensei had to say and followed his instructions.
A search and rescue mission, huh? It reminded him of the entrance exam where they had to collect the dummies, minus the threat of villains and a Tanifuji. He was curious to what hazards this cursed forest had to offer.
He adjusted his glasses by pushing them up the bridge of his nose with two fingers, like a majestic and calculative villain. This is the type of activity where his quirk gets to shine the most. For once, he felt confident in his abilities. His tail was swaying behind him in anticipation, unable to help himself. Turning his attention back to Elina, he decided to ask if she would like to team up, believing her quirk could be of use to Team Pixel.
βHey, Yukira Elina, was it? Do you want to team up with me and Datari-Kun? Assuming, he hasn't already found a team...β He offered, his eyes wandering for Shun, curious if he was already collecting the ribbons. Regardless, he tried to get his attention by gesturing a wave with his tail.
Shiki interacts with Elina and jokingly tells her not to burn down the forest. Asks if she wanted to team up and tries to get Shun's attention. Preparation in the works.
Shiki reluctantly followed his classmates as they were being escorted by Guodo-Sensei. Ugh, they were going outside, to wait again? Whatever, he didn't complain. At least it allowed him a chance to map out the area with his quirk. The USB tailed boy stayed in the back of the group and established a connection with his phone, beginning to organize his recent notes, which only took a couple seconds.
Upon arriving to The Field, an exhausted Shiki shuffled towards one of the trees surrounding the open area. He was already sleep deprived, the tiresome climb just sucked the last bit of energy he had left in him. Overhearing Datari's warning did keep him on high alert. God forbid he suffers another Tanifuji surprise encounter. Yet, he really wanted to rest his eyes for a bit. Surely, the wind couldn't be that strong, or so he thought.
He sat down underneath the tree and leaned back against the base. At this point, he disconnected the tail from his phone and plugged it into the ground next to him. Whatever surprises the circle, or The Field had to offer, Shiki would most likely be the first to know. He closed his eyes to rest at last, but would remain vigilant of his surroundings in this state. The only student who could really surprise him, he assumed at least, was none other than Shun.
Shiki paid close attention to the grass patches, footprints, and any other abnormalities around his location. His rest will be disturbed by anything that decides to approach him.
Shiki stayed in the back of the group, going through his phone. Decides to take a breather under a nearby tree, with his tail plugged into the ground to alert him of anyone approaching his location.
