Shoko fidgeted with her ear as she let another student enter through the school gates before her, with an apologetic smile. She had shown up a half hour early, to make certain she wouldn't be late; at the rate she was going though, it looked like that effort would have been in vain. Worry gripped her -- the absolute last thing she wanted was to make a bad first impression her, both to her peers and the faculty of Komei.

After most of the students had gotten through the gates, and the panic caused by the choke point was mostly passed, she managed to slip in. Her peers were already dispersing, going to entrances to the left and right of the main one, as it was blocked by some rather tough looking people. Shoko nervously nodded politely to them, before glancing around, deciding to follow the crowd going to the right.

The girl's brow furrowed even further upon entering the hallway that was straight out of a horror film.

Was... was this how renowned hero schools operated? Sure, she didn't really have anything to directly compare to, but... this was more than a little strange.

Shoko eyed the lady who she could guess as the school nurse, feeling a chill run down her spine. There was something off about her, too -- somehow, despite her looks, she fit right in with the hallway, just as the comically large syringe in her hands seemed perfectly natural with her. 

Shoko watched as some of her peers stepped forward, apparently offering to have their blood taken by the nurse. 

Did the nurse really want to do that right [i]now[/i]? They had class in only a few minutes!

The girl paused, glancing between the other students and listening to them as the spoke with each other and to the nurse. Was this some kind of test? Maybe -- once again, Shoko had no idea how prestigious hero academies ran.

Before her thoughts ran too far ahead of her, she was brought to attention by a tall, black-haired girl's voice, seemingly trying to take charge of the situation to allow the rest of the students to make it to class on time. Shoko took a moment to find her voice, and finally spoke up.

[color=ed1c24]"I... I think she wants us [i]all[/i] to do a blood test,"[/color] she said, glancing between the tall girl, the nurse, and the oversized needle. [color=ed1c24]"Which would make us all late..."[/color] she added, mainly mumbling worriedly to herself.
