Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

Likely my last post until the GM update then. I was just going to fade-to-black they walk to the arena floor, but I love chaos and couldn't miss the chance to egg on this stalker. It's getting late here so apologizes for grammar mistakes

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

Hikari Tahada

“Ouch!” Hikari said as he jokingly rubbed the spot she punched. He noticed the smaller girl trying her best to match his pace, so he purposely slowed his stride. They walked on towards the gates, and he took in her words as they corresponded with the scene ahead of them. That woman, leaving another man to sulk and fantasize. Hikari knew women who played her tricks back home, they were all too common. Women that used their beauty to lure men into set-ups, Vander would use them from time to time. They would sweet-talk whoever owed them money, drop their guard, and Hikari would come in to handle the rest. “I think she’s smarter than she lets on. At the very least, selective.” The image of Camilla's glare flashed in his mind, his only lead that she had more going for herself than beauty, but who would know that besides him? Hikari shrugged. “Or I could be completely wrong and she missed a perfectly good opportunity.”

As focused as he was to be moving forward, he almost didn’t register what Kohra had said. He took about two steps too many before stopping and turning back to Kohra with her hand extended. “Oh, sorry… I’m Hikari. It’s an odd name ‘round here, I know...” He took her hand in his and shook gingerly. In this position Hikari realized this entire time he hadn’t actually looked at the girl. Her hair would have blended in perfectly with a heavy winter’s snow, minus the dirt which added a sort of charm. Hikari was the last person to judge someone’s hair. Her perforate green eyes struck him, and for a moment he found himself lost in her gaze. The shuffling of the crowd is what brought Hikari back to reality, the reality being that he was staring at this girl for entirely too long without saying a word or having a clear reason as to why. He cleared his throat and looked back to their destination, seemingly no care in the world as to what had the crowd unnerved. “Anyway, our good spot…”

Without letting go of Kohra’s hand Hikari proceeded forward and pushed through the amassing crowd of people attempting to enter the arena. He created an easy path to the arena floor, and as soon as they were in the middle Hikari withdrew his hand instantly and shoved them back into his pockets. He stared up at the area where the captains would sit, both to avoid Kohra and ponder what was next. ‘I know I’m not the most talented or trained here, but I have something in me. I know at least one of them will see that. I just need one hand.’

tl;dr

Mr. I analyze everything can't analyze a stalker and probably pisses her off more. Proceeds to the arena floor alongside Kohra @Databug)

What Are You Listening To?

@Xaltwind yeah that's about accurate with Hikari, he's definitely looking to be in the most relaxed environment possible. But like you said, anything can change in that amount of time.

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

I would like to see that too.

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

@Xaltwind amuse us as well. tell us where and why bonus points if you write it out as your character

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

@Zeroth lol sure none whatsoever... I would say so. I imagine him looking at the moon/stars every night to help himself fall asleep.

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

@Xaltwind Her glare for him is what her tiddims is for the average male with that being said I don't think these two will get along one bit and I'm here for it have a goodnight!

Hikari Tahada

Hikari actually let out a genuine laugh at the ox comparison. It helped loosen his grip, allowing the noble to slip away. Hikari just reached down and rubbed the area he was pinched without paying the guy any mind. He expected a punch, at the very least, from how these guys were talking. If a single pinch was what all three of them could muster together, maybe it wasn’t serious and it was a waste of time coming over here. He was hoping to learn something. It wasn’t until he caught the glance from the woman that had everyone’s attention, that his mind changed. It was quick, almost too quick and if he wasn’t trained to watch people, he probably wouldn’t have noticed. His photographic memory made him aware of what couldn’t have been noticed otherwise or without a longer stare. It was something dark behind her eyes, something she knew well how to hide and show, it was clear. Hikari knew well not just anyone could learn something like that. Now he was interested, and she was the first person on his radar so far. He would keep an eye on her, and play it off as gawking if questioned. He just gave a playful shrug in return. His attention would return to the red-haired boy who he almost forgot was there, the entire reason he walked over. Hikari offers no response besides a respectful nod. He need not explain his true intentions of wanting to observe what everyone had to offer, he was more than happy to have everyone thinking he was just a brute itching for a fight. Although, he had nothing but respect for a man that wanted to fight his own battles and stayed level-headed. Maybe he would be watched closely, too.

Once everyone walked off, and the woman rejected the noble, Hikari stood for a moment before letting out another small laugh. “Well, back to where I started.” He looked over at the girl that got pushed, Kohra. “You doin’ okay little one? We should probably keep heading forward, see if we can get a good spot where the captains have a good eye on us.” He nudged his head forward and with his hands stuffed in his pockets, began walking waiting for the exams to begin. Today was the day.

tl;dr

Hikari is simply being observant of the resolving situation and offers to walk further inside with @Databug Kohra.

@Remram I believe in Ludo in the long run

I definitely want to see how Camilla reacts to that too. This is hilarious so far.

Edit:

I didn't actually expect Hikari to affect Elyssa in that way. I'm rooting for her.
