[b]Interacting with:[/b]Alekos [@Saarebas] Noah [@AdmrlStalfos19] Zentaro [@Bornlucky] Isamu [@Demon Shinobi][/color][/center][hr]Rikuo continued listening with his arms crossed. So, pink-haired guy was named Zentaro, good to now. Hm... he looked to be the serious type so he'll wait a bit before calling him something shorter... like Zen! Yeah! That would be perfect. That is, if the guy would actually allow him to call him by a nickname. It looked like he was a bit competitive, or if not, he strayed away from normal social cues. It was mostly because how he treated the introductory phase of their relationship as some sort of competition where they all won. Nevertheless, Rikuo nodded. [b][color=a0410d]"Yep, guess we all won. Pretty hard to have a winner when it's introductions y'know?"[/color][/b] He pointed out with a shrug. 

He then looked at Noah, who seemed pleased with the compliment Zentaro gave to her. [b][color=a0410d]"So you have a translator and everything huh?"[/color][/b] Rikuo observed as he saw Noah peek downwards, towards her phone he would assume. [b][color=a0410d]"That's... actually pretty cool."[/color][/b] He then paused for a few moments. [b][color=a0410d]"If you'd like, I could copy down notes for you, have Al translate them and hand them to you. Y'know, if you're having trouble with keeping up."[/color][/b] He offered. Rikuo did everything quickly after all, jotting down notes was easy for him to do, writing two was a challenge but something he did quite often just so he wouldn't fall out of focus form the class. One of his best friends, a sickly one, appreciated the arrival of notes whenever he was out for the day. Helping others and helping himself at the same time was always a win-win situation for him and it made him feel good.

Rikuo then looked back and forth between Noah and Alekos. [b][color=a0410d]"You two were born in Japan? Huh..."[/color][/b] He was used to the story that foreigners moved from their home country to Japan, but rarely being born here already. Oh well, first time for everything he guessed. He looked at Noah, [b][color=a0410d]"Shame you didn't get to learn much Japanese though. Was your old school an international school then?"[/color][/b] He questioned, curious as to why she never needed to learn conversational Japanese at the very least. It would be cool though, to hear stories about international schools. They speak in English there, he heard, or at least very little Japanese. Though, they were only rumors. Maybe it was different and Noah was just homeschooled or something.

[b][color=a0410d]"It'll be a big help Al!"[/color][/b] He exclaimed with a thumbs up as he grinned at the big guy. They needed to overcome that nasty language barrier. Maybe he should take out those English textbooks from before and then some so he could learn more. If Noah can't learn Japanese quickly, then he'll just learn English. That way, they could converse with ease! Though, he doubted he could just learn English [i]that[/i] quick, but it would help... he guessed. [b][color=a0410d]"I guess the thing that would really be bad is the lectures."[/color][/b] 

The doors slid open once more and then someone... tumbled in and rolled towards a nearby desk, hitting it and letting out a groan of pain. He then let out a meek greeting to all of them. Rikuo stood up from his seat and then weaved through the seats as he headed towards the guy and then helping him up. [b][color=a0410d]"Up you go man."[/color][/b] The guy was pretty fat and relatively smaller than anyone he's seen from the class - even smaller than Yoshiba! Hell, he was pretty sure that he was a whole foot taller than the guy. But still, he was here and that meant he was in thie class. [b][color=a0410d]"Alrighty then, you good? Just grab a seat anywhere, Teach over there doesn't really mind where we sit."[/color][/b] Now that he thought about it, he didn't see this guy in the ceremony. He must have been up front or something. [b][color=a0410d]"Rikuo Watanamiya by the way, pleasure to meet 'ya."[/color][/b] He said with a grin and a nod before backing up a little bit to give the guy some leeway. He stayed for a moment just to see if he needed anything else before he would go back to his seat.
