A single bench occupied by a single person, complete serenity and quietness surrounded her. It was so very boring; Nori had been waiting all night. The last piece of a sandwich was still plastered to the cheek of her face, desperately seeking a stomach to fill. It would never serve its purpose, as Nori wiped her gill with the soft back of her hand, letting the crumb surf the wind away. As she put her hand in front of her and observed a wristwatch, she noticed the clock indicators slowly moving, the waiting was killing her. With a big thump and sigh, Nori dropped her right shoulder on the bench, closing her eyes and trying to catch some sleep. The wind settled, and the sunrise brought with it a warm glow that carried her to sleep. [b]“tss, damn gutter-children, should find someplace else to sleep, ruining a perfectly fine neighborhood like that.”[/b] The words of a stranger rudely awoke her, but Nori was too excited to let some guy ruin her mood that easily. Upon looking at her wristwatch one more time though, her eyes lit up. It felt as if butterflies filled her belly, and her smile would never go, yet with that smile came two dedicated eyes that were facing in the direction of the agency; it was time. Putting one foot in front of the other, she had started to move towards it, with every step more intense than the last, until she was running at her top speed. Although her eyes were firmly locked in one direction, Nori had started to notice more people along the same path and slowly but surely, a crowd could be heard louder and louder. Her sprint was put to a halt when she realized that these people were looking for her. Of course it wasn’t just her; it was every person that received the invitation from Miss Tumble that was being targeted. She was well aware of the popularity of this event, yet in all her excitement she forgot to prepare herself for it. Slow breaths filled her lungs as Nori tried to calm down and think of a strategy to deal with the press, ignoring them would give the other students a chance to shine, but being in the spotlight too much would limit her freedom. When dealing with these crowds, it was important to stay level-headed and not let yourself get carried away. And upon reaching the crowd, her plan was satisfactory for her. Before making her known, she first opted to check out the rest of the competition, and it was a good way to prepare her for them too, seeing as how they could be hardcore villains for all Tumble cares. By focusing on the reporters and which way they were screaming, she could easily find most of the fellow students and some did indeed impress her. Most handled the press with ease, answering a few questions before reaching the building. One guy really seemed to dig the attention; if his ego wasn’t as inflated as an oversized balloon, he might be a good guy. Another looked like a stereotypical villain with a crazy attitude and a scarred for life story, but most looked decent enough. This class was already shaping up to be quite interesting, but now it was Nori’s turn to shine. Her chin held up, a straight back, hair waving in the wind after placing one hand on her neck and throwing her hair tail over her shoulder, she took a step forward; she was going to give that ego a run for his money. Her mind was focused on one thing, getting the crowd to love her; her eyes looked zealous, like a top athlete about to score the winning point. [b]“Nori Azami! Miss Azami!? How does it feel to be part of Tumble’s new pet project!? Why were you chosen over many more qualified individuals! Do you have a criminal record!? What do your parents think of this!?”[/b] some of the reporters noticed the heterochromatic eyes and hair and immediately bombarded Nori with questions. For a fraction of a second Nori seemed shocked, but it instantly turned into a ribald smile as Nori replied. [SUB][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkZ9jbw5kCc]BGM[/url][/SUB] [color=f49ac2]“Your questions don’t interest me, now please move aside.”[/color] Of course no reporters complied, and they continued their barrage as Nori resumed walking forward, right into them. She pulled up her sleeves and held her arms in front of her. And when the journalist in front of Nori was about to stop her, a sudden gust of air pushed the reporter aside, and Nori continued to walk towards the building. Every attempt at communication got countered by the wind as Nori gracefully paraded towards the agency building, pushing aside everyone who didn’t move out of the way with her quirk. This might have been a rude and bold move for her, and she might not even have liked to do it, but right now, she did not need to impress the newspapers, the real crowd was her class, which was undoubtedly filled with problematic people and villains. And right now, she showed that she did not take shit from nobody; she was not timid and definitely not afraid.
