The school day couldn’t have gone faster even if Touka wanted it to. But at least there was some interest laced in what was to come. Be it by chance or choice, there was a new scent wafting in the class room, one that would very definitely catch the attention of every Dark Magical Girl in the room. Touka cast a sideways glance at the front of the class where Yui was being introduced. To think one of their enemies would be so bold as to waltz in, no, the [i]nerve[/i] of her to do so…

But at least she knew she was outnumbered. Touka almost felt like grinning to think the other girl was but a guppy trapped in a pond of sharks. As soon as Yui sat down, Touka placed her eyes on the back of her head, watching her movements like a predator. Yet she wouldn’t strike; in fact, she doubted Yui even felt her right now. All the same, Touka only shifted her sight when the final bell for Miso City High rang and class would officially begin. Reluctantly, she moved her eyes up to pay attention to the class at hand.

[color=magenta]“Good morning children! It’s so nice to see you again,”[/color] came the words of [url=https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2307264]Miss Tamashi[/url]. Their home-room teacher seemed spunkier than usual and frankly, it was annoying Touka. Everyone had their break cut short, including the staff. There was no need to flaunt any sort of positivity. Still, the teacher was all smiles, brightening up the mood with her demeanor. [color=magenta]“As we all know, we have a new student joining us for the remainder of the school year. Let’s all do our best to give Murata-Chan a warm welcome!”[/color]

Miss Tamashi ended that off with a bend of her hip and her fingers curled in the victory pose over her eye. It earned a couple of snickers from some of the students while Touka mentally groaned. Adults trying to act cool was the worst thing ever and it only made her want to slam Yui’s head into a desk for inadvertently causing this commotion. 

[color=magenta]“Right then, I know we’re all looking forward to the New Year tonight so let’s begin our last day of this one with some fun! Why don’t we go around the class and tell everyone what we did over the Winter Break,”[/color] Miss Tamashi said. Finger outstretched, she counted off each student to make sure everyone was actually in attendance before setting her sights on three girls. [color=magenta]“Murota-Chan, Murata-Chan, Harasawa-Chan, why don’t you three decide who gets to go first among you?”[/color]

Touka cast her eyes right back to the window, only to blink as she saw a Mascot staring right back at her. Perched on a nearby tree, its televised head flickered what looked like a thumbs-up emoticon on its screen. As if [i]that[/i] was supposed to be some form of encouragement. Yet it did accomplish one task. It distracted Touka from one of the other [url= https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2544404]students[/url] watching her from their seat.
