At first Koken had every interest for where this fight was going to go, but the one thing that makes her lose that interest is a fight lacking action. In other words, a fight with too much talking. Annoyed with that, she pretty much spaced out for the majority of the battle. She would pay a little attention to where there actually was action just for the sake of observing, but her mind would tune out here and there. It would have been easier if the start of the match had a better attention getter; well, if heard right there was probably a little backstory. But most of it was just filled with...egotism. And that was when the interest flew away.

Koken's attention briefly returned to the fight just as it ended, with Hisoka forfeiting. '...Well that's the end of that match then!' Koken thought to herself in a rather cheery-like tone. In all honesty Koken was slightly surprised on Hisoka's forfeit. Only slightly, though. Strategically, it's probably a smart move. Actually, it's a smart move anywhere depending on the situation. It's probably what Koken should have expected, but Hisoka's arrogance blocked that perhaps. Before Koken knew it the arena became covered in ice, some ice flowers around as decorations as well. Probably Kireina's work, for whatever mood she was in. Koken simply blinked at the scenery, as if somewhat unamused. That's honestly not the case however. "...Wow. Nice." Koken managed to say in a half-monotone and half-sarcastic voice before the arena was put back to normal. Only half-sarcastic because it did look a little nice. That and Koken enjoyed feeling a chill every now and then; she might just be realizing this.

Koken's interest started to pique again when Sakura had mentioned there was going to be another fight later that day. The opponent, Saitama, versus to be revealed. Koken couldn't help but at least let a small smirk find its way to her face. Appalling how they're making new students fight when they literally just got there, yes, but-- actually, Koken shouldn't get too excited yet before thinking too much into it. And she knew that. So Koken saved the thinking for later. Meanwhile, everyone was to go to their houses. Looking to Djura who had asked her about her opinon of the method of transport, it took Koken no more than a few short seconds to come up with an answer. "I've no preference," Koken took the hand that Djura held out before standing up. Quite the gentleman, he was. Koken stretched out her arms from where she stood, "Bus, on foot, whatever suits you best."

"I'm not sure actually," Zircon responded to Spinel while slightly scratching her face briefly. "If they have, then it wasn't in here. I don't think we've gotten anyone else's vote on it, either, yet." Now that it was brought back up, Zircon started to wonder about the status of the truce that is possible to happen herself. But it seems at this rate, some waiting would have to be done. And when you're mixing Zircon with waiting...well actually, that usually depends. "And I'm Zircon," Zircon introduced herself to Carnelian after hearing some name exchanging. The new gem had gotten to greeting before Zircon could mention her to Spinel as a part of the filling her in, which proved convenient. "Pleased to meet you," Zircon gave off a small friendly smile.

Hey all, just got a post up. Turned out my brain was being (way) too slow last night and the majority of today for whatever reason so just wanted to say sorry it took me longer than anticipated.

Zircon shortly scratched the back of her head again slowly when hearing Amber's question towards anybody in general really. It wasn't for that long though as Aquamarine returned, followed by the question of Melanite rather quickly. Perhaps that was Amber's cue; anyone could have seen this question coming from Aquamarine sooner or later, Zircon could only imagine that it may or may not be hard for Amber to have to tell what happened a second time. With hands properly behind her back Zircon watched the interactions exchanged between Amber and Aquamarine as suspense slightly rose for her. After officially hearing from the expert that Melanite was alright Zircon softly breathed out in relief. It felt easing to be completely sure on Melanite's condition. After that was settled Zircon's attention was caught once more when Aquamarine addressed to everyone in the room to introduce a new gem, namely, Carnelian. Zircon gave a small wave at an appropriate chance, "..Hi," Zircon found that a greeting towards the new one would be suitable, short or not. Zircon's attention soon turned to multiple things, mostly taking notice of Aquamarine stating she needed alone time and then Emerald's question to her. Concern slightly increased; did Aquamarine run into more tensions perhaps? There was really nothing to do about it now except respect the alone time Aquamarine wanted. This day literally could not get any more...bumpy.

Zircon turned to Spinel, about to briefly fill her in as she asked. "People are either out and about or in their rooms...or here..." In all honesty Zircon wasn't exactly sure when at what point Spinel went off to her room, so for all Zircon knows she might be just saying things she already knows but it wouldn't hurt to inform just in case. Zircon took a couple steps forward, quietly and lightly clearing her throat looking slightly to the side, "Melanite got uh... 'poofed'...caught under some rocks or something..she's alright though. Amber got her," Zircon believed that was the only 'big thing' that has happened this day. At least the latest thing she knows of.

@Kronshi Was actually just about to update on that, even though I should've earlier. I actually was writing a post about a day or two ago but within that span I lost it twice, so that became a bit frustrating on my side with all of that lost. As for the short absence following that just some dramatic distractions if you know what I mean. I'm gonna have a post up by later tonight and hopefully no later than that, and sorry for my untimely delay.

Koken brought her hat over her head, not to put it on but to tip it off as a fancy gesture in return. She soon caught herself examining Djura's physical traits and blinked. It was when Djura quickly moved his gaze away when Koken realized he was doing the same thing towards her. Either coincidence or they just think alike. Koken leaned back in her seat, waiting for the next big thing to happen. And maybe, she might have taken a nap.

The climax of the day approached before Koken knew it as they arrive at the Academy. Upon disembarking the bus they were greeted by two other people, most likely veterans or at least upperclassmen of the school. Somewhere along the way, it practically took no time to say that there was already going to be some kind of match. Straight to the action, just the way Koken likes it. But the part where the boat tips is where it will be Hisoka, big surprise, facing off with the number one student in the whole academy. Koken's thought: '...Where the hell is the logic in this?'

On the way walking and following Saitama to the watching area, Koken slowed down her pace to where she would wind up walking next to Djura. An earlier glance she had taken made her realize that he was possibly looking for her. Koken had planned to say something to Djura, but her own thoughts on the upcoming fight distract her and so her mouth doesn't open to say anything. Koken heard Sakura Matsuoka, the supposedly very best, state earlier that whoever fought her has either died or quit the school. So why is Hisoka, fresh out of the airport, about to fight this chick? Koken is pretty sure the over-confidence of his might be making it a bit worse. What's the headmaster expecting to come out of this? The only logic that could come in is that if Matsuoka was going easy, but she talks a big game unless she's bluffing. Koken exhales slowly and quietly. 'This is one hardcore school, that's for sure. Although...'

'Not like there's any complaints.'

It could be that Koken is thinking too much on it too soon, but oh well. Whatever happens, happens. Something or another will happen, either way. Besides, this might even be an excellent time to observe at least some other people to what she could be up against in the future. She should at least spectate a little, depending. We'll see.

Koken's head perks up like a dog when seeing the display of housemates in bright lights. The way people were paired up slightly surprised Koken; she assumed it would be more of a 'girls with girls' and 'boys with boys' kind of set up, but it was quite the other way around. The set up method seemed to be more unique, of course. Probably by element. We'll see. Koken spots her name, and then the name she was paired with. A few slow seconds later she heard the voice right in front of her say something like 'who the hell is Koken.' Well that clears that scavenger hunt. Koken tugs down on her earphones to yank them out of her ears before leaning forward and resting her arm on the seat in front of her before making two quick tongue clicks to get his attention, along with making a small salute with two fingers and a small grin that didn't last no longer a second. She removed her 'traveling cap' from her head and held it by the visor against her chest, "Koken Irie, your's truly. I'm guessing you're..." Koken glanced back to the display of names real quick before looking back, "Djura? I'm assuming?" Koken's tone was partly monotone, not entirely though. She awkwardly looked side to side with her eyes, for whatever reason, "...Hi." Koken tried to recall Djura's element, which was most likely announced by Hisoka as he did with mostly everyone else. If she remembered correctly, Djura had Void. She'll find out if she's right soon enough. Quite the interesting kind of element, though.

Koken remained sitting on her suitcase, putting her earphones in just before she felt a chill which made her straighten her back immediately. Another aura pressure. "A-A-AWWW SON OF A BI-- oooo this feels pretty nice actually," Koken expressed loudly, going from irritated to comfortable just like that. Koken got cozy in her seat; the chill made a nice cool down from the earlier heated aura pressure, so it was actually kind of convenient. Koken glanced at Kireina, figuring it had to be from her thanks to Hisoka listing it all off earlier. Koken would have actually never figured someone else would release their aura pressure, and it actually even tempted Koken to do so herself even more. But in the back of her mind her subconscious kept telling her to not to, to save it for later. It seemed more right that way, per say.

Koken stuffed the last of that chocolate bar into her mouth just before standing up; it was finally time to take off. Finally. It wasn't expressed, but Koken was eager by the second. It had just been waiting, then waiting, then more waiting, and now more waiting was about to happen but that's not the point. They were getting closer and closer to the big climax, and it was about time. Koken followed the group to the bus; on the way she listened in on the conversation between Hisoka and Ms. Shiba as the topic intrigued her. She had her earphones on, but the earphones weren't plugged into anything as they were just sitting in her hoodie pockets. She kinda forgot to plug it into something. Somehow. Who knows. Aside from that, the fact that a roommate was going to be chosen for everyone had just been learnt. ...Eh. Koken honestly doesn't have a preference on who she lives with. Just as long as they were tolerable. Well, that is if she knocks on wood first. But now her mind was on a curious set of who her housemate would or could be while slowly and naturally glancing around at the people.

In response to Hisoka's spoilers Koken slowly looked down at herself, specifically at her apparel. She was practically wearing all black, maybe with small accents. Except for her jeans, those were just a really dark blue. She then slowly looked back up, "Well duuuuuuuuuh!" Koken said aloud while gesturing with her hands to herself, specifically her apparel again. Her tone sounded mostly in the friendly zone, but had sarcasm in it of course. Because you know, darkness, the color black, similar things eh? And obviously it was Koken's favorite color so makes you wonder who would have guessed. Well, the fire elemental guy did. 'SHOOOWWWW OOOOOOOFF,' Koken thought to herself in a bit of an internal frustration. It's a real neat trick that he can just do that and all, but did he really have to spoil the surprise? Koken thought it would have been fun finding out eventually, but not right away. Alas however, it was done. Eh. Koken supposed it was time to move on. After taking a notice of a couple more arrivals and with nothing else to do or respond to, Koken takes a chocolate bar from her hoodie pocket and starts munching on it a bit while also taking some earphones out.
