[color=2E8B57]“Hmmmm…”[/color] Akio hummed noncommittedly. He had already decided he would [i]not[/i] tell his parents. They would worry overly much. And might not believe him. [color=2E8B57][i]I’ll have to think up of something good about what a ‘Hunter’s Club’ in a school might do…Something to do with temples, maybe exploring them, or some such. Could be believable enough I suppose. I hope.[/i][/color] He frowned lightly in distaste when their club president let them know about the group activity they were to have in a park, however. They didn’t even know each other properly! And they were expected to work together to catch something? And a harmless something? [color=2E8B57][i]It better not be an intangible spirit.[/i][/color] Akio grimaced – he could imagine easily enough how this disturbingly sports-like event might progress. Maybe he could just test his powers on whatever it was they were supposed to catch from the side-lines.

He loitered around in the classroom, waiting for the most eager ones to leave. He couldn’t help gaping in surprise when the blond delinquent boy jumped out of the window. [i]Jumped out of the window![/i] AKio shook his head in disbelief, thinking to himself that this was the kind of thing he’d have to get used to soon. The supernatural not only existed but was now part of his life. He then turned to stare at a most excitable pair, Aiden and a cheerful girl Akio had pegged as an airhead. Akio had an inkling he should at least try to get along with everyone, but people like that…they were just- too much. Too loud, too intrusive, [i]too friendly[/i]. As the kind of person who warmed up to others very slowly, the people who were so overtly sociable were the ones that, in his experience, were better avoided, at least in the beginning, while they searched for like-minded individuals to flock to and group up with. And after they had their own little popular clique, Akio could have his peace. Though how this would work inside of a club, where group activity and co-operation was expected, he couldn’t quite imagine. On that note, why [i]had[/i] the club president said he would only watch? Did- did he need to do that to know how to lead them better? Or would he just take on the role of an examiner, assessing how they dealt with novel situations?
 
Akio sighed, and after gathering his belongings, quietly exited the club-room, avoiding being caught up by anyone seeking easy companionship. He was curious to see that the boy who had seemed just as solitary as himself, if not more, ran after the rambunctious pair. However, he did not change his mind on joining the group and went his own way instead. On the way to the Yume park, Akio made a short stop at a convenience store. He bought something small and cheap to snack on, a bottle of cool water, and a bundle of rope. The rope was the kind used for tying up tomatoes as they grew, to support them. While wandering the store, he figured he may as well buy something that [i]might[/i] help in their task, and rope was the simple, affordable choice. After that, he ambled towards the Yume park, much less tense now that there was no pressure to socialize with anyone. And though there were plenty of people around, it wasn’t nearly as bad as being on any public transport in the rush hour would be. He enjoyed his walk to the park and happily strolled on the paved paths among the artfully arranged greenery. Akio eventually settled himself on a bench, in a shade, and wolfed down his snack, then sipped on the water slowly. Though he had had that delicious brownie earlier, it had only hungered him. The small pastry and the water he had bought, however, worked to energize him. Hopefully this chasing-something wasn’t an extreme enough activity to cause him to vomit. That would be- more than awkward.

Akio felt rather pleasant right now, and for a few minutes just observed the surroundings. He looked at how many other people there were, or if he could see any of his classmates around already. He then took out the bundle of rope he had purchased and searched for scissors in his pen case. Akio cut the rope free, then cut a short piece off of the bundle. With that done, he stored everything but the short cut-off rope piece in his bag. He had decided to play some cat’s cradle on his own to pass the time. The rope wasn’t nearly stretchy enough, not to mention he would have to tie the two loose ends together. As he was making a knot, though, an idea struck him. Akio untied the partial knot and concentrated on holding the two ends together just with his new telekinesis powers. It took a very intense focus to do what he wanted, especially once he began looping the rope around his fingers, trying to manipulate the thing into different shapes without letting the construction fall apart. It was challenging, and Akio became completely absorbed in his self-given task, without even noticing his preoccupation.
