As he started up the stairs to the bus, Shun was greeted with Mari's quick warning and paused in his tracks. He snapped his gaze to the "villain". The guy was huge, and he was already poised to choke the life out of some poor dummy. Would it count against them if a hostage died? Technically the proctor had specified that the treatment of the dummies was unimportant; did that include letting a villain snap their neck like a twig? Erring on the side of caution, Shun would only have one chance to hit before the villain harmed the hostage, and the guy looked way too sturdy for a single blow to take him out, even with the element of surprise on Shun's side. He was likely a pro hero too, so his durability shouldn't be underestimated. Mari seemed to have a plan for that. He hoped, at least. Just caving into the villain's demands out of fear wasn't very heroic.

[color=2EFEC8]"Kinda pathetic for a big guy like you to be cowering behind some innocent people,"[/color] he grumbled, leveling an indignant glare at the man as he backed out of the bus obediantly with Mari, pretend-child still cradled protectively in his arms, [color=2EFEC8]"Especially against a woman and a guy my size. I bet that bulk is all fat."[/color] He stuck his tongue out childishly for effect. Did he expect his taunting to work? Not really. But he was definitely more than a little annoyed that he'd cut his hands up and couldn't even redeem his points because some fashion disaster who buys his suits two sizes too small was guarding the dropoff point, and he thought he was allowed to vent a little. Wow, heroism really does bring out the worst in people. 

He paced outside the bus while Mari put on her horribly out-of-character and not at all convincing act, pretending [i](not really pretending)[/i] to huff angrily at the situation they'd been locked into. Unless someone with a quick incapacitating quirk walked by soon, they had no choice but to wait for the villain to come out on his own if [i]anyone[/i] wanted to score any more points. He slumped the dummy in a sitting position against the side of the bus, calling out a [color=2EFEC8]"Watch this for me, will you?"[/color] to Mari as he made a motion to casually vacate the area, ducking behind the nearest pile of rubble to stay out of sight of the bus windows and wait for the villain's departure.
