[h3]Andou Reimu[/h3] Reimu walked off the bus with Yuu closely behind him. They had arrived in front of the academy and there were plenty of other newcomers by the looks of it, with a couple of students dressed in brighter clothes. He had to do well here, both in studies and improving his abilities. Not only that but he had to look out for Yuu to make sure she didn't get herself into trouble. She had been applied as a student herself, despite lacking any power of her own apart from things he could bestow upon her. She were also going to share dorm room with him. There had been some discussions about it and was ultimately ruled to be the best option as Yuu was connected to him. [b][color=fff200]"Let's go Yuu. Try to not fall behind allright? We'd have to try stay out of trouble until we have gotten a proper layout of the place and the people in it." [/color][/b] Reimu looked around to the shorter Yuu who were dressed nicely in her schooluniform. [b][color=f6989d]"Yes, Reimu-sama."[/color][/b] Yuu replied in a soft, gentle and obedient way while providing a soft bow. Reimu softly sighed. He had told her she didn't need to address to him in such a way but appearantly it had not gone through completely. [i][color=fff200]Is she really partly me? The power can be a frightening thing. I should probably keep my abilities secret for as long as I can to avoid unsavory glances and challenges. Then again. Am I not here because it would provide me with just that? I won't fail. I definitely will not fail. I will climb my way to the top and then when my mastery over the power has gotten stronger, then it is time to get to work. We who have the sublime power. We who can change this world. I will change it and restore this world to how it should be. For certain. [/color][/i] [b][color=f6989d]"Reimu-sama."[/color][/b] Yuu's voice interupted his thoughts. [b][color=fff200]"Hm? Yes what is it Yuu?" [/color][/b]He asked whereof Yuu just pointed ahead at a girl with a tail and looked awestruck. [b][color=fff200]"The girl with the tail? What about her?" [/color][/b]Reimu looked ahead to inspect some of the students ahead as they've made their way closer. [b][color=f6989d]"I like it." [/color][/b]Yuu replied lowering her head with a faint red blush on her cheeks as she held on to the apple Reimu had gotten for her on the way. Reimu pondered on it. He could possibly work to give her a tail if she liked it that much, though for now there were more pressing matters. Both of them made their way further inside. Reimu would try to move in the outskirts of the gatherings to try avoid bumping into someone which could spark a fight. [h3]Gilbert Dawning[/h3] Gilbert had no time to waste on welcoming or beating up newcomers. He had been one himself not so long ago, or at least that's what he felt. All that really mattered to him now was beating the living hells out of the punching bag in the gym. Jabbing and kicking at it and every now and then taking some water to drink. He made some swift jabs and then grabbed the punching bag and slammed his knee into it three times. He had to be physically fit as good as he could. He never were much for actual studies, that or he never felt like there was much need for them. His powers of nullification were useful though. In some sense he was at the same level as both regular people who lacked powers, and on the other hand on a good footing to fight those who possessed the power. It left him not feeling jealousy, envy or hatred to the gifted. But rather made him content being able to just be himself without becoming arrogant or constantly lusting for more power no matter the cost. Despite all this. He couldn't help but feel troubled. Last year some newcomers had thought about fighting him but after advice or rumors decided against it. He wondered if the same would happen again or if this new batch would yield some who would try to fight him. The S ranked people had so far left him be. Likely because he nullified their power, a thing most tended to rely on. Himself included ofcourse. And at that he would be a lackluster. A bother and not really worth fighting either since if someone S ranked would lose he or she would fall in rank no doubt or feel ashamed. Gil understood it clearly though. In a sense his power was cheap. [b][color=00a99d]"Haah!"[/color][/b] Gilbert gave the punching bag a well placed uppercut followed by three quick jabs. He had arrived early and now would be a good time to head off to the showers. He waited for a moment, sounded like someone was approaching.
