  The big lug had to admit he was loving the little group that was already forming around him, if these were going to be the people he spent sitting next to for the rest of the year Al was more than alright with that. They all were seemed more than friendly enough and didn't look like the type that would want to cause any real trouble. Al couldn't help but have a rather big goofy grin on his face as he mentally patted himself on the back for managing to make friends on the first day of school, and before classes even started no less. He was quickly pulled out of his little personal internal celebration when the girl that sat in front of him started to continue on her conversation, with what seemed to be much more comfort given she was now speaking in her own tongue. Al smiled as she introduced herself, prompting him to offer her one of his meaty palms to her to shake. [color=f49ac2][b]"It is great to meet you Noah. My name is Alekos Maximos Asclepius, but everyone calls me Al." [/b][/color] He said is his usual warm tone.

  As the greeting finished Al's attention was quickly pulled back to the glasses wearing young man who introduced himself as Rikuo. Al couldn't help but agree with Rikuo, offering him a chuckle and a nod as he recalled his own personal encounters with teachers that were less than thrilled with him showing up late for their classes. [color=f49ac2][b]"I see what you mean and this is not the place that you want to have a teacher gunning for you."[/b][/color] Al said, though it seemed that he was more saying it to remind himself.

  Al found himself looking back over to the pink haired fellow, who revealed himself to be Zentato. His usual warm expression faltered slightly as Zentato reinforced that being late was less than acceptable to show up late. He mentally kicked himself a few times as he nodded in agreement. [color=f49ac2][b]"You are right Zentato... But you have it on my word that from this day forward that I will never be late for class again!"[/b][/color] Al said, a fiery determination filling both his words and his eyes. He offered Zentato a confident grin, though Al had just met the boy he couldn't help but want to make up for disappointing Zentato.

  As the conversations went on the topic of when both Noah and himself arrived to Japan came up, though it should of been expected seeing as they seemed to be some of the few foreigners in the group. [color=f49ac2][b]"Oh I was born and proudly raised here in Japan."[/b][/color] Al said with a smile, switching back to speaking Japanese. [color=f49ac2][b]"I just picked up English living in the foster-home, a lot of foreigners get caught up in the system."[/b][/color] It was then that Al realized that there was kind of a language barrier in the group, one that strangely enough he could help break through. [color=f49ac2][b]"Oh uh actually if you guys want I can help interpret for you guys, you know if the need comes up."[/b][/color]
