[B]Prof. Namashiya Kotori[/b] -- [i]Peculiar Peculiarity[/i]

The moment she placed the piece of chalk back upon its sill, there was a change in the air. It was slight, barely noticable for most. Even her most advanced students lacked the ability to do so. Yet this change never got past her senses.

A charge of thinly veiled electricity whisked through the air, making her hair stand on end for a split moment. It was a singular burst of a charge, and she could [i]feel[/i] through the excited reverberation of electrons as it moved past.

What was more peculiar was that the collider hadn't been used in nearly a month! So there was zero chance that residual static from the electromagnets that lined the tunnel could be releasing potential energy of any sort. There had to be a source, so as her students focused and went about their work, the Songbird closed her eyes and focused. 

The burst was quick, fast, and done with a degree of control. The way it traveled meant that she would search in the opposite direction. Bringing down the sonar-like burst into a singular point. It didnt take too long to find it as she felt the path the charge had traveled, until she found the source. She opened her eyes to the voice of none other than Aiden Cross, simultaneously as she found him to be the point of origin.

Briefly, her eyes narrowed. This man being the source meant only three things: first, Aiden Cross was easily deduced to be an Esper. Second, he was commendably proficient in Electrokinesis at the least. At the most was unknown. Third, he now couldn't be trusted; after all, it would be an easy task to get an Electrokinetic to cause the elevator to malfunction. 

Above all things, she had to consider the safety of her students first. Speaking of which, much of their activity had stopped in awe of the movie star who had [i]"accidentally"[/i] stumbled into their midst. So both conditions would not do, he was here suspiciously, and their studies were not being progressed.

Ironically to her, the latter of those two troubles was far more important. Yet she needed to act convinced of his little ploy, as to not endanger her students. Aiden Cross was now an uncertainty.

[B]"Class dismissed, use the northern alternate elevator across the hallway since the main elevator is malfunctioning, and return to your dorms for self study. I will know if you slack off, be off now."[/b] A collective sigh of disappointment throughout the handful of students expressed their discontent. However, they did comply to their instructions. After all, one disobeyance meant expulsion from the course, and the last thing anyone would want was to be removed from the most advanced ENMA Physics course. 

Once they scurried away and out of earshot, Kotori's eyes affixed attentively back to Aiden once more. While others may have acted suspicious of the man and his actions, the Songbird actually greeted him with a truly beautiful and genuine smile.

[B]"We meet once again, Mr. Cross."[/b] She began cordially. [B]"You've accidentally stumbled across ENMA Academy's Hadron Collider. We teach our most advanced physics doctrine down here because, well, this has brought us to the very edge of current understanding of how the universe works. Only the most advanced class, the one which must be completed for our doctoral program, is completed here. Students who graduate from it go on to be cutting edge researchers in each of their fields, oft for the benefit of humanity."[/B]

Folding her hands neatly behind her back, she looked back to him with an inflection of humor from her lips. [B]"Though, I must admit, you're a terrible liar. I can [i]feel[/i] your heart skip a beat. The firing of synapses in the human brain when telling a lie is identical across over ninety-five percent of our species to boot."[/b]

[B]"So, as an incognito Electrokinetic who 'accidentally' managed to stalk me and follow me into the deepest depths of ENMA, what are you actually after, hm? I doubt that it's to ask me out for a cup of coffee."[/B] She quipped to him with a light laugh, lofting a curious brow towards the man. 

[B]"I would be humbled, if you offered me the truth this time however. You're a wonderful actor from what I've heard, Mr. Cross. You're good, but not [i]completely disable all biological reflexes good[/i].[/b] She requested in finality with a cheerful smile all the same. Hoping to get an honest word from the man, all while doubting the possibility of it.
