	Nate nodded his head at Nishka's explanation. This was obviously [i]not[/i] a test of skill, and in all probability the situation would have probably escalated had he not stepped into the room at that time. He was tempted to pursue the line of questioning but decided against it for now; situation had [i]just[/i] cooled off, asking too many questions might heat things up again.

	At the very least, one person was worried about something other than getting into a brawl. Turning to Takumi, he gave a polite nod in greeting. [color=8dc73f]"If he was anywhere near where I was, chances are he got stuck in traffic. There's been a terrorist bombing nearby, and the damages plus investigation have slown down traffic as a result."[/color]

	That was the most likely explanation. While the regular teachers had among them faculty who were irresponsible to skim out on classes, every Arms Master instructor here had a military background of some sort, meaning that at the very least, lack of discipline would not be a problem.

	[color=8dc73f]"In any case,"[/color] he said, turning to the class, [color=8dc73f]"we should probably wait for awhile. If he doesn't arrive after ten minutes, I'll go make a report to the Grade Leader and see if we can get a substitute, though in that case it's most likely we'll be having a free period."[/color]

	At that, several students grinned excitedly - a few even cheered - and hoped that the teacher didn't show up. While waiting for the teacher, several students left their desks and began mingling with each other. Some stopped by Takumi and Winston, asking them questions about their Noble Arms.
