Disciplinary Committee Meeting Room

I doubt this place is bugged, but in the future we definitely should. Anushka thought into the room, just to test it out. "If we're gonna be infiltrating the trade from the inside we'd want to get around anyone with a wire on them." If she was gonna be taking the trade she'd want a wire. She was still working on another thing, that perhaps she could control information or mess with people by excluding people from conversation, but that idea was still half-formed. Besides, why would you bother with all that sneakery when you could just smash your way through the problem?

Muyomi Gate Academy, Disciplinary Committee Meeting Room

"Thank you," Anatole smiled at the tea finished mixing. The crackers were nice since she was a little hungry. The girl ate diligently while leaving no crumbs. She gave off the impression that she was scolded one too many times for making a mess while eating. "Communication is as important as those in the field," her eyes focused on Jessica. It was a stare that looked more like she was looking past the person and straight into the soul. Dissecting every little thing that made her tick. Of course, that was only for a brief moment. After the scrutinizing gaze passed, she closed her eyes.

So this is our power? I have to say I'm jealous, Anatole took a sip of her tea. Not of the headaches, mind you.

Anatole finished with her test of Link Connect mostly because she didn't want to be a burden on Jessica. At the same time, if people were jumping in on their conversation which was supposed to be a secret then there were going to be issues. What was she going to do here? Her eyes drifted to Maria who seated herself a bit further away from everyone else. That got little more than a quirk of the brow for the short instance that Anatole opened her eyes. Infiltration seems like a good idea on paper, but it would take time to execute. After offering her opinion on Anusha's thoughts while still worrying a bit about Tomoyomi.

Archery Range

Raphael didn't fight against Mikael correcting his posture. He simply nodded while loading another bolt. Raphael fired again, only to... maybe have gotten a little closer to the mark? Hard to tell since he completely missed. "Maybe I should just stick to swordplay," he let out a hearty laugh while taking a few more shots (that ended up missing). Eventually he managed to nail on right in the center of the target. Apparently for him it was either ridiculous failure or absurd success. "Story of my life, I suppose," he stretched his arms up into the air. "Thanks for the help, Mikael. I've discovered that longbows are the only bows for me."

Parking Lot > Entrance Hall of Muyomi Gate Academy

Thank god, Katou managed to get inside. Okay, now all she had to do was—

Crack.

Another shot rang out.

"Ghk-" Sayo strained. She watched her sister enter the main hall of the building. That was good. Maybe she could just keep going to hide behind one of the pillars or get further into the school. Hopefully Katou could run toward the Disciplinary Committee. There were a bunch of hardasses there that wouldn't be afraid to take on a fool with a gun. "Aaaah," she opened her mouth to breathe. Of course, it was hard. Where did the bullet hit her? She didn't know.

All she could feel was an intense heat in her abdomen. That was it? That's where she was shot?

Oh well, she thought to herself. Not much left for her in the living world besides Katou. The spacey kid sister that ended up broken all those months ago. Her life became a struggle to support herself and... "Yeah, Sis, I'm red like a tomato. Leaking like one too," she coughed as she tried to get up. Somehow she managed to throw herself into a hunched over limp. That's when she started feeling around her waist for her own gun.

Katou couldn't control whatever her power was. The best bet of getting out of this alive was to kill the man before he killed them. Of course, if luck was on their side, someone would come to save them.

Reina's Point of View, Muyomi/Model-Building Club Room > Parking Lot

"A gun shot," I grab my phone. Call the police. I dial immediately. I fumble over words while throwing myself out the window. I don't care what's going on, if someone's going to die, I—... we've got to do something to stop it. "Yeah, I know, shooting, Muyomi Gate Academy, get here!" I was fast. I had to alert the authorities while heading to the scene. Do I have any power? No. Will this be dangerous? Yeah, but not like I matter. My career is browsing the internet and laughing at stupid people. No one would give a shit if I end up shot.

I caught up to Adam and Darian easily enough. I'm out of shape, but not that out of shape.

There were a few cars around. One had a door open. Going to guess that's where the asshole came from. "There!" I point toward the front gate of the school. A man garbed in a coat, a headband, and some shoddy pants was waving around a gun. We could make it there if we just sprint.

Parking Lot

Mireille finally caught up with the rest "Wait *huff* no fair *huff* longer legs *huff* You- eek!" she came to a stop. "G-gun!" Goddammit, you knew what was going on, where do you think a shot comes from? "I-I don't think I'm up for that Prez." Though... maybe, just maybe... she concentrated again. This was no time to be picky about mana-usage. From the asphalt of the parking lot, rose two knights, also made from asphalt. From under their helmets two red glowing eyes could be seen. "L-Lets just let them take the hits."

Adam's eyes narrowed into a glare, focused on the gun in the man's hand.

"I will handle the gun." He said, and fired several bubbles at the man, directing World Eater towards the firearm itself.

"I've got time free." Anushka offered. "It'd be a fun project, you know? And it would save you guys's time from having to stick on me as oversight all the time." And it would let her do whatever she damn well pleased with the drug trade. If she could turn a profit, she would. Problem though: Sangue Benedetto showed no signs of withdrawal from their briefing. No way to get return customers built into the drug.

Parking Lot

Darian came to a halt against the asphalt knights. The gunman was still a good few metres away. A problem for her, but certainly not for the Orchestra.

She willed the energy within her to transform, to become a tiny spark that fizzled and grew within her clenched fist. Bubbles filled the air; if she didn't know about Adam's power, she would've thought it was ridiculous.

Actually, there was still something kind of funny about it. She chuckled, voice high and hoarse from adrenaline. Good. She channelled that giddiness into her fist too. The air around her become charged, thick with ozone and static. Best not stay here, she thought, inching forward and away from the other kids, don't want any run-off causing collateral.

"Might wanna cover your ears!" she yelled to her fellow students.

With that she thrust her palm out and there was a deafening crack, loud as the gunshot, followed by a rumble that rolled over the whole school building. From her hand came a hot-white light that lanced towards the gunman. A jagged bolt or two branched off and slammed into nearby cars, filling the lot with the sound of crackling electricity.

"EEP!" Even with her hands on her ears Mireille flinched as Darian fired her light-bolt sheesh, remember me never to mess with her "Attack!" She ordered the golems, upon hearing the knights began to charge past Darian and directly to the gunner, swords raised.

Muyomi Gate Academy, Disciplinary Committee Meeting Room

There was silence from Naoki for a few moments. He was considering whether or not to enter the mental connection.

After some time, he decided he might as well. He closed his eyes and searched for the neural web that had formed.

The first thing everyone who was already in it and paying attention would hear was static. A faint sort of static accompanied by a low droning hum. That, and numerous whispers all talking in a homogeneous monotone in the depths of their subconscious.

"-ubroutinefourhundredtwentyfivetaskedwithinitiatingandmaintainingschedulingcohesioninitiatedandrunningsmoothlysubroutingfourhundredtwentysixtaskedwithruminatingandmemorizingcorerulesandintegratingthemintocentralproces-"

After some more of this, the whispers died down as Naoki spoke into the mental connection.

"Ms. Bradbury, no sleeping during school hours unless you have some kind of medical issue. This will be all for now."

When he disconnected himself, the static, hum, and whispers that had heralded his entrance faded away.

Her eyes momentarily blinked when Jessica felt the gaze but she mentally shrugged it off. Yep, this is my power, pretty cool, huh? I could also extend it to upstairs or to the next two rooms to the right of us but let's not disturb anyone.

Anatole withdrew, and Jessica wondered if she should turn if off or let them keep trying it out. Then Naoki brought in the static and whispers which was . . . new. It was something that definitely had never gone through her before. Then he just spoke and left. That was . . . weird, maybe I shou-, Her thought was interrupted by Victoriana. Oh right, Link Connect's still on, I'll do it later. Jessica thought.

She responded to Victoriana, It's okay, Victoriana, now that Anatole's tested it out, I'm going to turn Link Connect off.

She directed a thought at everyone else chatting, Now that Anatole's tested it out, all of you out! Cutting off the flow of thoughts that went through her, Jessica shook her head, stood up and stretched her legs and arms.

"That went great! But now I'm starving, so is it okay if I go get a sandwich, Captain?" She asked, stretching her arms from left to right.

Jake looked over at Maria as well; "Yeah if their is nothing else you need from us for now; can I go as well? I kinda want to get something to eat." He asked politely bowing slightly as he stood up from his seat. Still thinking about the Link connect that was just done.

Parking Lot

The electricity burned the air. It passed through straight toward the pursuing gunman. "You bi—" he called again with his gun stilled raised. Bit too soon. The bubbles from World Eater zeroed in on the gun, scooping it up to devour it as fast as the power could manage. Second was the powerful storm let loose by Darian's Orchestra. "Aaa—!" the criminal yelped as the lightning coursed through his body. The thunderous crack that came before didn't help matters either. "T-tch," he found himself slumped over. There was a burn through the jacket he was wearing.

"Esper, huh?" he chuckled to himself as he got up. "Wanted that purse, but beating the shit out of you guys will do!" the man clicked his tongue. Crimson dripped from his mouth and down his chin. His body blasted with a faint light as his body blurred. He closed the distance between himself and the charging golems in under a second. He twisted his body down, performing a front flip with his leg making a clean arc in the air. The air broke with the movement. If it hit one of the golems, they could probably tank the hit well enough.


Muyomi Gate Academy, Disciplinay Committee Room

Anatole finished off some more tea and crackers while giving Anusha another look. Oh well, what was fun for someone else wouldn't be fun for another. Though with all this, it seemed that the meeting was coming to a close faster than she thought. Was good, though, since the things that needed discussing were already talked about.

"I'm free, at least for now," Anatole looked at Mary. "What is it that you want to discuss?"


Reina's Point of View, Parking Lot

I hands over my ears since I had an idea of what Darian was going to — ouuuch, yeah, even preparing for it wasn't enough. My head is rattling. My arms and legs are a bit numb. All in all, everything looks good. I shake my head while looking over at the golem girl. "Yeah, that takes it. I am jealous," I sigh while looking on at the fight. Nothing I can do to help Darian or Adam since I'm not able to fight like they can. And this little girl here has these massive stone giants to protect her. Means I'm—

"Wait," there's a woman inside the entrance hall down. I see red. That's definitely blood. "Shit, I have to..." there's a fight going on here. Between that crazy fast asshole and Darian. Will I be able to make it? ... Ggghhh.

"Oh few things, come walk with me." Maria got up and started for the door before turning to the other members. "Naoki, Vicky, I'm entrusting the samples to you two. Make sure no one gets their hands on them." She went out the door and started to walk down the hall while making a gesture for Anatole to follow her.

Anatole slid a glance toward Naoki and Victoriana as she got up from the chair. There was a little bit of apprehension about letting them handle it, but she had to show she trusted them. A nod later, she walked toward Maria who was already at the door. The obvious thing to do was to wait for Maria to speak before her. She did the courteous thing and waited with a hand on her hip.

>Follow Mireille under the car. Safer than standing around. And use that phone to call an ambulance while you're at it.

Parking Lot

A speedster, eh? If Darian got hit with one of his accelerated blows then she'd be looking at broken bones at the least. Pretty fortunate for her, then, that she had a way to counteract that. And she could thank his dumb ass for attacking the golems first and giving her enough time to set it up.

She focused on her energy again. Instead of gathering it in one place, she instead brought it all slowly to the surface. An audible hum and crackle filled the air as sparks danced across her skin, bathing her in flickering white light. He tried getting close to her now and he'd be in for quite the shock.

Heh. That pun was almost bad enough to share, but she didn't want to ruin the surprise. Problem was, she couldn't protect the others in the same way. Adam she wasn't too worried about, but Reina and Mireille...

"Real fuckin' macho of you, tryna beat up kids half your age! And failing at that!" Darian's voice, filled with goading, carried across the lot well. She was already charging up a new attack as she spoke. "Was jackin' off just not doing it for ya? Come over here and I'll show you how a real beatdown works!"

The first golem took the hit with his shield, said shield did get quite the crack from that but other than that it seemed to have no real effect. While this took place Mireille still hid under the car. She heard the big clang from the hit, causing her to crawl even deeper under the car.

Looking between Mireille, Reina and Darian, Adam decided not to jump into the fight yet and instead moved closer to where the club president was. "Go help them. I will...intercept if he comes after you." He said, watching the fight carefully.

Ryou had really gotten into the telepathy thing. He wondered if that Naoki guy would try it? As Ryou listened, he watched the redhead close his eyes. Ryou had known Naoki was a robot the whole time, of course.

"Jake and I were gonna go get burgers. You can come with." Ryou said. He wanted to learn more about her power. That, and she was hella fine. He faced Naoki.

"Hey, Naokinator, you coming?" Ryou asked.
