[color=00a99d]“Heh. I’ll admit he gave me a jump, b-but I don’t think he’s all that bad. I think he’s just as excited as I am, and he just has a different way of showing it than I do. I’m-- I’m sure we’ll get along eventually.”[/color]

Well... Hiroki must've had a different way of [i]showing[/i] it, alright. Still, judging by what he was saying, Ito Kenji seemed to have taken the aggression that was forced upon him like a champ. Either that, he was simply being modest... for Hiroki's sake, funnily enough. [u]Regardless, it was good to hear that Kenji came out the other end in one piece. He even expressed in looking forward to attending the academy.[/u]

[color=ec478c]"That's great, I look forward to have you here too!"[/color] Tanifuji exclaimed, letting her excitement known, [color=ec478c]"Oh, and if Sakimoto-kun happens to give you any more trouble, don't be afraid to let young Tanifuji-senpai here or any of the other teachers know. [i]We'll[/i] set him straight; even if we have to..."[/color]

[color=lightblue]"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! SHE CAME BACK TO FINISH THE JOB!"[/color]

Tanifuji recognized that voice all to well, and as she whipped around back to the other students, it wasn't hard to put a face to the name. That beanie. Those glasses. That strange tail with an end that seemed to resemble a USB port. Tanifuji's smile had vanished completely.

[color=ec478c]"Hold on; this isn't the exam any more, Tetsumi-kun!"[/color] Tanifuji called out in desperation, [color=ec478c]"I'm really a nice girl deep down, I [i]promise[/i]!"[/color]

But it was too late. [u]Tanifuji could only watch as Tetsumi Shiki charged the opposing direction with reckless abandon, weaving his way passed the other students and even looking to head straight into a girl with a ponytail that happened to be late in arrival.[/u] Tanifuji's thoughts drifted back to the day of the exam. She was supposed to have caught Shiki after she kicked him over to that other zone but, despite her best efforts, she wasn't fast enough to catch up to him, leaving him to crash into that mailbox and be put out of commission. True, failing to keep an eye on how strong her Quirk had gotten didn't help, but the [i]real[/i] kicker was the idea of Tanifuji playing the part of a deranged psychopath for the exams. It was supposed to be a fun role to take up; she had no idea that it could scar anyone so badly...

She'd have to apologize to Shiki for leading him to think she was a sadist, but for now, [u]she tried to re-establish the smile she had earlier as she returned her attention to Kenji.[/u] She didn't want him to think that something went so wrong that she couldn't fix it.

[color=ec478c]"Go on inside,"[/color] she instructed in a soft tone.
