Akira Kurasawa Team 9 Akira narrowed his eyes and looked to Chinatsu, he had hoped that after leaving the academy he'd leave behind the bullying and ridicule but it seemed it was simply the way of things. He watched the way her tone shifted, how her entire personality changed in an instant as she handed an apple to the other team member who likely had similar views but hadn't had the time to express them only to snap back as her attention turned back onto him. The threats went in one ear and out of the other, no point dwelling on them, the only acknowledgement he gave was a simple shrug and the blinking of his eyes. The girl muttered something else but Akira didn't hear it, he looked to Hiroshi. Why he was being reprimanded for his silence was a mystery to him, lowering his head slightly Akira sighed quietly. "My apologies Sensei, Hirudora, I didn't have anything useful to contribute and I don't think idle chatter is something you'd want to hear." He was tempted to add something along the lines of 'Neither are death threats' but decided against it, no sense in starting an argument right before an important mission. His Sensei's words also shed light on why Chinatsu was acting so superior, the team had already performed one previous mission, that made Akira smile inside, she was really quite petty to hold a single mission in such high regard. Raising his head to follow the team leader he looked to Sayuri and gave a faint smile, so far she hadn't made any comments leading him to hope that she was at least indifferent about him which meant he'd be able to make a good impression. Then he looked to Chinatsu, keeping the smile up, there was a slim chance she was just in a bad mood and that treating them correctly and showing each of them he was useful would improve their current relationship. His gaze shifted forwards to the open door and he gave a swift nod to Sayuri's statement. "Right!"
