As Kristopher walked into class, he noticed a student setting down their feet from their desk, and rolled his eyes. One student may hate school just as much as the next, but it didn't mean they had to openly disrespect it. His name's Angelo, Kris thought, is it? All Kris knew was that he didn't talk much and gave the cold shoulder to everyone but teachers, plus roll call was now done through Neuro Linkers instead of by voice, so most students were rather forgettable.

But settling down in his seat, Kris smirked as he did remember someone important had her seat right behind him: Liliana "Lily" King. An 18 year old junior, flunked (hopefully, he mused) a grade in elementary, introverted to the point of mute, yet answered teachers' questions with judgement & logic, and has shown a soft side around animals, specifically her puppy she walks every so often. Flunkies were nothing new to San Francisco's "shithole", the rude student earlier being no exception, but what made her special was the secret she kept and he presumably uncovered: as prime suspect for the recent creation of Dual Avatar "Green Deer". Ever since the Avatar first appeared in the school network, Kris had been tracking it down, even spectating its first Duel (admittedly impressive) from the shadows. And by taking voice samples from the fight, it was nothing short of coincidence and luck that they matched the girl who happened to sit behind him in class. However, the appearance of a Duel Avatar within school meant her Guardian mostly likely was another student, and thus constantly watching her back, so Kris could make no move until he identified the pair.

He sighed. Not that he wanted to be creepy and stalk her, though no one outside of clubs bothered to notice him these days; he made sure of that a long time ago when he first enrolled in middle school here. Still, the thought of getting so close to another person...Kris dropped his smirk as Lily promptly walked in and took her seat, then the second bell rung.
