[color=B7618D][i]What the heck? Why is everyone bein’ so hostile and junk?[/i][/color]

Shiori’s eyes widened as one of her classmates made what to her sounded like a declaration of [i]war[/i]. 

The student in question, Noboru Nobounaga, definitely seemed high strung and she had half of a mind to kick him off his soapbox. Not because he wasn’t better than she was or that she felt annoyed by his attitude but more that if he didn’t shut up he was going to get all of them in trouble with their new teacher! Given the impression she got from Ishin Academy that wasn’t a situation Shiroi really wanted to be in; especially considering their instructor was the legendary heroine, Knightmare! Shiori moved to speak and tell the hot-tempered boy to calm the heck down, but before she could utter a word her newfound friend with bright blue hair spoke [i]first[/i] and probably not in a way that was going to defuse the situation. 

The black-haired girl could see the redness in Noboru’s face as he was about to give them all a piece of his mind as people not only [i]challenged[/i] him but then decided to [i]ignore[/i] him for someone who sat at the back of the class. But before he could scream more at the class the sound of a thin and youthful voice cut everyone off at the same time. Shiori’s eyes darted towards the doorway in anxiety.

[color=B7618D][i]What in tarnation? [/i][/color]

For Shiroi, she was quite surprised [i]where[/i] the voice came from as what appeared to be the shortest girl she had ever seen (at least by secondary school standards). Her expression looked harsher and meaner than Noboru’s by any means. Was she another student? Shiori thought for a quick second before realizing that all the desks had been filled. It only left one conclusion—this was Knightmare out of costume. 

[color=7786A8]“And you! Moron number one! Get off that desk now unless you want to go home to daddy and say you got expelled for being a halfwit!”[/color] 

The small ‘girl’ groaned in annoyance as she walked into the classroom. 

Shiori quietly mused her thoughts to herself. Knightmare was obviously as loud and boisterous as what Shiori remembered seeing on the newsreel, but her voice without the sense of her armor was so much thinner and mousy. Sure they were [i]yelling[/i] at her classmates, but she never imagined Knightmare was actually so… small in reality. Her armor definitely did not give that impression. She imagined some of her classmates were equally as dumbfounded.

[color=7786A8]“What? What’re all of you looking at? Never seen a teacher before or some crap? Did you think you were going to be instructor free?”[/color]
