As Shizuka sat there, she continued to listen to her sound file, trying her best to pick up other people's conversations with her ability.  She remembered in middle school, accidentally blurting out things she had only heard from private conversations that others had, which caused a lot of people to shun her for her natural eavesdropping tendencies and calling her a stalker.  She noticed at the front of the room, one of the student council VP's was performing an intricate wind trick with paper.  it was impressive, but seeing higher level espers showing off only reminded her of her level 2 inferiority.  [i]"But that's why I'm going to perfect level Upper!"[/i] she reminded herself, and listened more intently to the audio file, trying to pick up on how it was subtly affecting her brain.

There were a few times she had tried to show off her powers in the past.  The first time, she shattered all the windows in class as well as the teacher's glasses.  [i]"We speak not of that incident."[/i] The other time, she started to emit music, but then people started calling her 'BGM' or 'Radiohead', haha.

When another JUDGMENT member walked by, she glanced up at him and immediately averted her gaze.  She remembered seeing him on stage and thinking that he looked like a prince with his long black hair.  She sighed to herself, telling herself that she shouldn't get her hopes up.

Still, there were a few normal looking sorts, like the bespeckled girl seated next to him. Wataru took his place and set about withdrawing what books and stationary he might need, finding to his mild disappointment and private relief that no teacher had shown up yet. In the silence he decided that making friends would be a good start if he was to stay sane. [b]'Good morning.',[/b] he said to the girl, flashing a friendly smile. [b]'I was worried that I might end up seated in the middle of a group of strangers and I'm no good with that.'[/b] Brushing a stray lock of hair out of his eyes, Wataru extended a hand in greeting. [b]'Satou Wataru, esper and I guess now a member of the Student Council. Joy. Nice to meet you?'[/b]

Shizuka stared up at Wataru with a befuddled intensity that one might misinterpret as killing intent.  She quickly caught herself and clumsily pulled out her earphones so that he wouldn't think that she was going to continue to ignore him.  "G-good morning..." Shizuka prayed she wasn't blushing, "O-Otonashi Shizuka...esper...level...2..."  She accidentally included her level in her introduction.  Considering the stringent application process, she was sure Wataru was a significantly higher level, and awaited the condescending remarks and ridicule.
