[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/GHGRFIY.png[/img][/center][hr] Umi had been talking to Hiroki, Kaito and Mari for quite some time now, almost to the point where any normal teacher would’ve started whatever course they were assigned to teach by now. And yet as far as education side of things, nothing was happening. Surely Umi wasn’t expected to just talk all day, was she? She wondered… She approached Goudo, but before she could [i]actually[/i] ask what the current situation was, [u]she could hear a very distinct sound coming from the air that had peaked her interest.[/u] She looked over to the right, and was quick to identify the source. [color=04ece9]"Hey, l-look at the sk-[i]sky[/i]!"[/color] exclaimed Umi, directing everyone’s attention to where she was pointing.[hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/YQjloNj.png[/img][/center][hr] It was a helicopter, and the grass swayed under everyone’s feet as it drew closer and closer. [u]It slowed as it approached the center of the concrete area, coming to a halt when it was right on top of it, but had not sacrificed any significant altitude to do so.[/u] A man could be seen rappelling down the left side of the helicopter. He normally stood at 173cm (5’ 8”); well within the statistics of the average Japanese male. His heterochromatic eyes, one aqua and one violet, surveyed the students momentarily, before he looked back up at the helicopter’s pilot and gave her a thumbs up, signifying that he landed safely. With a nod of acknowledgement from its pilot, the helicopter dispersed, heading in the direction in whence it came. Unless there were any special guests that the students weren’t made aware of, there would only be one reason why the man could possibly be here within the grounds of Jigokuraku Academy. Chances were, [i]this[/i] was the teacher that was absent from the assembly, despite seemingly having dressed for the occasion. He casually dusted himself off, before addressing the students. [color=0072bc]"My greetings to you all,"[/color] the teacher said with a smile on his face, [color=0072bc]"My name is Uranishi Yataro, although you should refer to me as Uranishi-sensei. I’m here to teach you all about rescue operations and how to successfully conduct them. I’ll also be your science teacher, as well as the designated school nurse."[/color] The fact that he was able to put the word “school” and the word “nurse” together, in that exact manner as he described, without pause and especially while still maintaining a straight face, would indicate that, surprisingly enough, one would find that Uranishi was OK with having that role assigned to him. Then again, there wasn’t another person alive that would be more fitting to fill the role of Jigokuraku Academy’s school nurse. After all, Uranishi was a famous and renowned surgeon back in the day, as well as a competent medical examiner and a respected forensic scientist. There was much more he had to say, so he continued. [color=0072bc]"I’d have liked to tell you a little more about myself, but unfortunately we’ve past the point of time in which I’d have the luxury,"[/color] he stated, [color=0072bc]"The reason I was unable to attend today’s assembly was because I had to transport a highly fragile item of equipment into my laboratory here; hence the helicopter that was responsible for my arrival. As you may imagine, helicopters have quite the difficulty to procure, especially with [i]ours[/i] of school budgets."[/color] With that out of the way, it was time to begin. [color=0072bc]"Now then, assuming Goudo-sensei obeyed the instructions of the recent text message I sent him, inside this very forest will lie several dummies that will represent a lost family of civilians. Your task will be to track where they might have gone and locate their exact position in the trees,"[/color] Uranishi reached into his suit pocket and grabbed enough ribbons for all the students to have one each, all in different colors, before continuing his relay of today’s lesson, [color=0072bc]"For the purposes of this task, you’ll all form groups of three and collect a trio of ribbons from my person. These ribbons should help us determine who exactly has yet to return. I do have a spare ribbon of each color in the event that any of you would be left ungrouped. In any case, it would pay to take care within this forest. There may be hidden dangers lurking within..."[/color] Of course, some of the students would decide not to read too far into that last statement, despite how ominous Uranishi made it sound. In truth, however, this would be the perfect hint that Sakkaku’s quirk come into play for the rescue mission. No doubt she’d be in position by now, so [u]all that would be left was for the students to group up make their own preparations.[/u] [color=0072bc]"If any of you have any questions, now would be the time to express them; although I’d ask that you briefly beforehand so I know who you are,"[/color] Uranishi suggested.

The marked landing zone was the target, giving ample area for the man who had just rappelled from the side, Uranishi Yataro -- as he would soon introduce himself as --, a safe descent to earth once more. He was straightforward and to-the-point, a quality Yomodachi both admired and respected. Also... kinda cute. Back on track, Uranishi went into detail about the class' current task: a rescue mission for dummies. [u]Something told her that these dummies were going to be used [i]a lot[/i] throughout the coming year.[/u] Looking around, The Field was fairly large, flanked by the natural forest upon which the school had been built on, but the multiple paths shooting off into different directions made the monochrome emitter a bit confused. She'd heard much about Jigokuraku's many shrines, of course, as it was a source of tourism for Kirisama, but given the details and task given to them, it was hard to tell whether the deeper paths would be used. Given that Uranishi was open to questioning, Checkers took it upon herself to ask the first. [color=000000]"Uranishi-sensei,"[/color] began the girl in a clear tone-of-voice, [color=000000]"My name is Yomodachi. If I may, please refer to me by my given name: Azukina."[/color] Her bow carries formality which had yet to be seen till now, somewhat telling of her roots, given her father's traditional personality. Upon raising her gaze to meet him, she questions: [color=000000]"Given The Field is connected to the many shrines of this area, is it safe to assume we can travel down the paths that lead to said shrines for this particular task? Or will we be limiting our search area to this forest?"[/color] Perhaps it was a little simplistic to ask, but making sure nobody went off and got in trouble down a route they shouldn't have felt important enough to know. Personally, she would have had the groups go down the side paths first, then close in towards The Field itself, but admittedly rescue wasn't her forte. Thankfully for her, the teacher Jigokuraku got their hands on would be more than suitable in regards to rescue training. The answer she’d receive was reassuring... [color=0072bc]"Certainly,"[/color] Uranishi answered, [color=0072bc]"There’s no shame in using the paths to the shrines to ensure one doesn’t get lost, although as you maybe aware, you’ll have to diverge from them eventually in order to reach the target zone."[/color] Uranishi would likely take a few more questions before the task was set to begin.
