Shinrei saw a girl at the entrance and could sense that she was about to do something. It would be hard for him to do anything with this crazy girl named Hayate who just grabbed his hand grabbing on tight not letting go. He sensed that she was lonely when she touched his hand though he wasn't sure what the reason was or how she ended up this way. It was common for lonely people especially those who feared solitude greatly to grab onto people and drag them around even if the person was doing against their will. Right when they got closed to the girl she put her foot out and tripped Hayate and Shinrei, but Shinrei managed to use his hands for stabilization which pushed him into a somersault. He thought to himself as he was about to come out of somersault to catch Hayate from falling on the ground in his arms. [i]Hah, I didn't actually think all that training with that handgun and those maneuvers would ever come in handy. Good thing when I was a kid my dream was to become a detective before it was a duelist.[/i] The silver haired man caught Hayate with both hands sweeping her toward his torso as he lifted himself up from his knelt down position with her still in his arms.

He had remembered very clearly when they came toward the entrance that there was a blue haired girl with a very mysterious appearance to her. She said right after he managed to fully recover from being tripped managing to avoid falling down on his face that she said [i]'What's the hurry, anyway?'[/i] Judging by the way she used those words it was probably Shinrei's fault that Hayate ended up in that predicament anyway. He turned toward Ethel for a second with a serious yet very frigid look crystallized inside his eyes, [b]"You know, I may be as cold as the arctic night, but I'm certainly not as dirty as a harlot. Judging by the way you're looking at me, I assume one of two things. One, you want to test my mettle because unlike the other students I didn't take place in a placement duel and ended up in Light. Two, you want to know who I am. There is a reason I am in Light, but I am not going to inform you why. You do not need to know who I am or why I am here. I suspect the first reason, but you can correct me if I'm wrong. Not that I care what you think of me or how you visualize me. I care only about my morals. Everyone else that isn't important to my resolve is commonplace."[/b]

After Shinrei finished his speech toward Ethel not really care how she took his words, because her opinion wouldn't change his position on the two matters, he turned his attention back on Hayate.[b] "Are you all right?"[/b] He said in a more friendly tone though his face and eyes remained cold but the tone was quite normal for any form of human being. He would not forget what Ethel just did. Not that it was any of his business, but anyone who dare throw his problems onto someone else needed to be dealt with. He would leave that for another time. He wasn't about to get serious for someone he didn't really even know the skill level of. He had remembered she lost her duel yet ended up in Light. [i]What a twist of fate?[/i] He thought to himself as he went toward one of the walls to lean against it. He wanted to see what this girl wanted with him even though he didn't really care. Best find out to prevent another instance like that pest named Leander who wouldn't leave him alone. He had remembered earlier he lost his duel in such a pathetic method.[i] Hah, how did that kid end up in Light anyway? Anyone that loses to Wind has no business with me. I can't let someone like him plague what skill I still possess. Not like any of these people are worth unveiling any of it on.[/i]

He turned his attention toward Ethel once again as he saw Hayate was just fine. Even though he didn't show it by his expression he did feel bad that Hayate was tripped because of him though he wasn't entirely for sure. He was just under the assumption that this girl wanted to challenge him. She would probably would bother him nonstop if he didn't acknowledge her. [i]Typical to think that most people end up the same in the end? What a pitiful way of putting it too.[/i] [b]"All right, girl."[/b] He said as he focused all his attention on her. His eyes began to freeze even more as you could feel the chill of his eyes pierce your mind. [b]"I will ask, what is it you want from me? It's obvious that she wasn't your target."[/b] He paused for a moment as he turned his eyes for a second toward Hayate before he would once again place them on Ethel's sights once again. [b]"The real tragedy is she was an unfortunate casualty of my own madness I couldn't prevent. But let's just get straight to the point and drop the theatrics. I am not fooled by an outright lie so I will remain here until you give me your answer."[/b]
