[color=00a99d]"Not so much that I'll bother you or myself, but rather our next door neighbors might just kick us out."[/color] Yuki said with a light laugh. She then shook her head ever so slightly. [color=00a99d]"It's not so much as me fearing debt but more of me wanting to take responsibility for my actions when I'm older."[/color] She gave her new friend a rather bashful grin. Again, she couldn't really live life relying on others. While that would be ideal and his parents were always willing to impart money to her, she figured that if she can't live alone now; then she wouldn't be able to live a very successful life. The last thing she wanted was getting into poverty because she lacked skills to survive in the real world.

[color=00a99d]"Much better places, there are. But working for the force has always been my dream."[/color] She said, an earnest smile now replacing her grin. Yuki looked forward once more as she began to talk, [color=00a99d]"We've always been taught that we should do everything to protect our people. That's exactly what I'll do once I'm older. Joining the JSDF would allow me to busy myself with just that - protecting the people by defeating demons."[/color] She scratched her cheek as she began to think about it. True, it wasn't the only use for her and there were tons of magical girls around so they wouldn't really appreciate her as much as other jobs would, but there was really nothing else she could find herself happy in. Military had been her life ever since she was a child and her mind has already been made up. She may have had fleeting fantasies on other jobs but they never lasted as long as her love for the military. Perhaps she was being selfish in a sense that she wasn't completely focused on only protecting the people, but also because she wanted to fight.

When she felt Melissa's hand squeeze her arm, she willed herself to not shock her again. She was about to lecture her again, seeing as she gave off her rules just earlier, but then she seemed to show concern about her condition. [color=00a99d]"Don't worry, I'm good."[/color] She reassured the other girl. The blonde wouldn't have survived three years in this school if she couldn't handle the crowds. Admittedly, her first year was when she kept her distance. With her limited control over her power, she ended up shocking nearly everyone in her year and then some. It's part of the reason why most of her classmates were already used to her minor shocks and just feel like they were grounded before shrugging it off, saying - "Ah, got too close again." - or something along those lines. She has improved since then. At least, she believed she did.

The orientation soon started and the headmistress addressed the thing that has been occupying their minds ever since they saw him - that there was a guy among their midst. Whispers broke out around her and she couldn't help but feel at awe herself. She explicitly stated that they needed to treat Nero as any other person in this school. Yuki could at least manage that, seeing as she doesn't have much to go on besides the fact that he was male, and that sure didn't bother her as much as it should. Knowing that his presence here was intentional and that the headmistress knows, then that meant he was safe to be around. Yuki had an unbelievable amount of trust in her. Her loud voice broke through the whispers, [color=00a99d]"You got it boss!"[/color] She shouted with a grin on her face. [color=00a99d]"Just don't expect us to - er - bathe with him when the public bath is open. Now that's just [i]too[/i] personal eh?"[/color] Her joke, made in all good intentions, seemed to break off some tension with other students.

She seemed to try and catch Nero's gaze at this point and once their eyes made contact, she gave her a welcoming grin. His entire aura exudes that of something dangerous, the same one she feels when she's cornered. He was off-putting, but if the headmistress wanted him to feel at home - then feel at home she would make him feel! The list of interesting people in this school just seems to lengthen every single year - though she should have expected as much. Yuki then stood up to follow and then noticed that one of the first years approached Melissa to ask about the school. Imagining that Melissa could answer the questions, she gestured that she would go on ahead before squeezing through to get to the headmistress. 

[color=00a99d]"First day and you're already full of surprises Headmistress."[/color] Yuki teased, settling in her place only a few spaces away from the headmistress herself which meant that she was already at the head of the group of girls. [color=00a99d]"Thanks for making my last year pretty interesting with the addition of a boy."[/color]
