However, once they had noticed the shy guy, both Izumo and Jason stopped in their tracks as the unknown boy seemed to take on a rather defensive and agressive posture. While they couldn't really expect what was about to happen, Izumo decided that she felt really bad for what had happened because of her popularity, so she wanted to apologize to him as awkward as he was. The girl reached out a hand toward him and was about to say something when- [color=0054a6]"Hey there! Sorry about what ha-"[/color] Then he started transforming and barking. Izumo was frightened by the sudden and drastic change of tone. So much so that she let out a small squeeling noise and pulled her arm back! [color=0054a6]"E-Ehh!"[/color] Naturally, as it was common with Jason, he immediately stepped forward and in front of Izumo, raising his arms protectively. They had encountered so many crazy fans already together that Jason was used to having to protect Izu. Not that she couldn't fight for herself but he felt obligated to care for his year-long best friend. With an intense expression, one that was showing that he was not willing to back down at all, Jason stared at the much more intimidating than before Marius, before he decided to run away, making sure they understood that he wanted to be left alone. Once he was gone, both Jason and Izu let out a sigh of relief which was followed by a few seconds of silence. This encounter was enough to get both of their hearts racing, Marius surely made an impression on them. [color=0054a6]"T-That was something..."[/color] Izumo eventually said to break the silence. [color=00aeef]"It sure was." [/Color] Jason added. Only a moment later he suddenly gave Izu a smug grin. [color=00aeef]"I have seen a lot of somethings and boy let me tell you, this sure was one of them."[/color] Izu replied by looking him dead in the eyes with a neutral expression. [color=0054a6]"Quite meme-ing, we have to find the"[/color] Though once Izu had turned around she couldn't help but smile. Even in these situations, Jason always knew how to cheer her up. [color=00aeef]"Whatever you say Ma'am."[/color] Afterwards, both went on their search to the starting point of the exercise. They didn't follow the tracks left behind by Marius since his warning was quite clear and another confrontation would be less than favorable, he had made that much clear. Luckily for them, the rest of the search was relatively uneventful It took them about 15 more minutes until they had arrived at a larger plaza where dozens of students were already waiting. They both agreed that this must be the place... now to wait until the exercise begins. Until it would start, both just idled and chatted about the upcoming task ahead and their different strategies. They rehearsed some fighting techniques of one another and helped each other out in analyzing weaknesses and the like. One could say that both got really invested into this whole hero ideal, and Jason really seemed to brighten up in this conversation.
