Shinichi was panicking. He took one hit and got cocky, and now he was going to be stabbed again. Except this time he was going to be stabbed with a sword, not a dinky pocket knife. The knowledge that he would probably be fine in the long run didn't help. Being stabbed hurt. It hurt a lot. Shinich put his hands up in the air.

"Hey man, maybe I was a bit hasty. Why don't we go back to the other sword?"

Then, hoping he had put the other boy off guard, Shinichi tried stepping to the side, and aimed a kick at the back of his legs. If he could just knock him down, the fight would be over!

How did she know he was in here? Oh well.

"You might as well come in, the door's open."

Shin turned back to his notebook. Having the Institute's barebones notes on the new students was one thing, but seeing them in action was another entirely. While there was of course the usual Augmenters hitting each other and Architects throwing things at each other, there were also some more interesting abilities at play. A girl controlling electricity, with the control to create a field at range. A boy who could shoot some form of beam attack. And a girl who said she could enhance the abilities of others.  This was looking to be a promising crop.
