Indeed, as if by sheer luck the lawn Sasha was leaping on to happened to belong to a certain someone. Sasha was in the Residential District, where the Dojo was located coincidentally, but it wasn't that lawn she leaped into. About twenty seconds after she leaped onto someone's back yard the sliding glass door that lead inside of the house whose yard that she intruded opened, and standing there was a familiar, if somewhat irked, sight. It was Ren, whose white hair looked a bit messy and he was wearing just a basic grey short sleeve shirt, another black, long sleeve shirt beneath that, and a pair of simple blue jeans. "You know... usually when you come over to someone's house you knock on the door or even call, or in our case send a PM. Is there some reason why you suddenly decided to jump into my back yard?" --- In the meantime, Silas first went to the Business District where there was a very good jewelry store to buy a nice, simple ring, which set him back about 50,000 Yen, but Silas still had around over 100,000 Yen left from the money he earned the night before, which was still a very good amount. After that he was biking around, trying to boost his own stamina for just simple exercise. --- Silas Exercise: 4 (Critical) --- Silas got a very good workout from his bike ride having to go to the Residential District for this since there was no way to be able to do this kind of intense exercise on a bike in the crowded streets of the Business District, during the morning, pushing his stamina past the limits, going a bit beyond. When it was over, it being about a small bit before the afternoon now. When it was over, Silas a good bit tired now, but not completely worn out, a window appeared before him, stating the following. [hider=Window] Pushing your stamina and endurance past the limits has increased your own endurance and stamina. +1 VIT. [/hider] Silas still also had a level up to apply, so getting a free VIT Point on top of that was always really nice. If Silas had his Minimap out he would notice two green dots, signifying those on his friends list, not too far from his current position. Suddenly though the area seemed to change, a familiar feeling of a Pseudospace washing over the area, eliminating all sounds from people or cars that were unrelated. Now on the minimaps of all of them, not too far away from all three of them, there were now two red dots. [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140511191933/the-gamer/images/f/fa/Rigul2.png]Two figures were standing there[/url]. One seemed to be a much shorter man in some dark looking robes holding a staff with a skull on the end. They seemed to be standing a bit down the road from Silas, just about twenty yards away. "Well well, going for a bike ride aren't we? Seems a bit too early for that, don't ya think?" The much shorter, robed figure spoke now, a smirk upon his face, the other man holding a large hammer over his shoulder. "How about you come take a ride with us instead of on that bike? Wouldn't want ya to get hurt after all." He seemed to be pointing his staff towards Silas now. Over the heads of both of them were red text. The shorter man had Manabe Tooru, Lv 18 over his head with Mage above that. The much larger man had Satou Tooru Lv 20 over his head and Fighter above that text. Red text and dots, from their experience with monsters and even that one time with Sumi indicated that someone was hostile towards them. Perhaps these were the 'Hunters' that Genji mentioned, both of them having some pretty evil smirks upon their faces as they looked at Silas, the bigger one beginning to approach slowly now, hammer at the ready. Luckily, Ren and Sasha were still in Ren's backyard. Unfortunately Ren, who tried to open the door, couldn't. Apparently buildings were unable to be entered when inside of a Pseudospace. Fortunately though the two hunters were completely unable to see Ren and Sasha, as Silas, but Silas could see the two green dots on his minmap that were a small bit away from him as Silas was about ten yards down the road from Ren's house in his current position. "This isn't good... we need to think of something quickly before the enemies attack Silas or find us here..." Ren spoke quietly to Sasha, taking out his survival knife. If Sasha looked at Ren's hand, or just happened to glance at it, his hand had bandages wrapped around it, as if the bandages were concealing something. --- In the meantime, during Lucian's class, as he would have been able to make it there without incident, no one being able to see the strange markings on his arms, probably because normal people couldn't see things like that or something. Class would be going normal until suddenly everything in the room just stopped. People stopped moving, the teacher stopped speaking. It was as if everything just froze, all except for Lucian. Suddenly though Lucian would be able to tell that someone was behind him, or something. No matter where he turned to look the... presence or person, as it was hard to tell, although if he had his minimap out it would be a white dot right behind him always, spoke quietly to him in a calm, mysterious tone. It said the following. "Relax and sit down, I am not here to hurt you... but to give warning. You and your friends are in a bit of a bind... even now they are in trouble. I suggest that you grow stronger... and before the end of this week... head to Gekkoukan High at midnight..." After that the presence or person, as Lucian would never be able to see it, would vanish, but not before saying "Return to what you were doing before... lest you be out of place when time resumes and break the Interference Law..." About ten seconds after the presence left things would begin to move once again, his class seeming to resume and carry on now as normal. After the presence vanished though, two new windows did appear for Lucian. [hider=Window] The Quest, 'The Plot at Gekkoukan' has been created.
