Shirou flinched away as Makoto started shouting at him. He knew he really [i]should[/i] trust that she wasn't going to start anything, but... Well, he still wasn't so sure... Of course, if he wanted to pass, he should probably also avoid antagonizing her if possiblein the interests of not being beaten up himself.

[color=D3E97D]"O-ok, ok, I'm sorry for doubting you!"[/color] He said, holding up his hands and trying to keep the nervousness out of his smile, although he had little doubt the efforts were proving futile. [color=D3E97D]"You have incredible s-self restraint and I'm sure you'll be able t-t-to remain in c-control!"[/color]

Thankfully, Yasu managed to distract her from continuing further with an unexpectedly heartfelt speech about how much their time together as a team meant to him. Also equally important, he agreed with Shirou's statement, which only added to the appreciation. Even if the praise left him a little embarrassed.

Before he could say anything though, he heard a voice that he had long since learnt not to expect anything good from. He reluctantly turned to see one of his main tormentors, one who had been targeting him since even before they started in the academy.

Mochi Genji. The two had met through his best and only friend outside his team, Kurimi, who just so happened to be the boys cousin, and ever since that day he'd looked down on Shirou. At this point, he generally knew exactly what to expect as soon as he heard Genji's voice. However, that wasn't what had him worried. In fact, he could say with pride that he was quite used to the bullying by now, and had learned to deal with it.

No, what [i]did[/i] irritate him somewhat was the gaudy wakizashi he was flaunting around, all while insulting the quality of his family's own weapons. Except even a student blacksmith like him could see that the weapon was in no way suited for combat. Probably not even [i]made[/i] for combat, when he thought about it. It looked like more of a decorative piece. The knowledge brought a frown to his face. Whoever sold the blade to Genji's parents should've made sure they were aware of that fact if they had any pride in their craft. To not do so could get the genin killed!

Before he could try to warn Genji of the danger the weapon could put him in however, the boy went ahead and decided to do it himself by jumping straight from insulting him and Yasu to something even [i]Shirou[/i] understood was a poor excuse for flirting.

[color=D3E97D][i]I should stop this before Makoto-san kil-[/i][/color]

And then Makoto obliterated him, leaving Shirou to simply stare for a moment, mouth still half open to try and tell Genji to stop for his own safety.

Eventually, all he could do was bring the outstretched hand up over his face and sigh.

[color=D3E97D]"Makoto-san..."[/color] He said, and even [i]he[/i] was surprised by the frustration he heard in his voice. [color=D3E97D]"I-... Why?.. Why-why-why, [i]why[/i], we [i]j-just...[/i] just talked about this. I know Genji was being really rude, but what if th-this gets us disqualified?"[/color]

Also Genji's well being. He should probably be kind of worried about that too. He was a Mochi though, so he'd probably be fine.

[color=D3E97D]"I... I hope we don't get kicked out already..."[/color] He said, before glancing back to his teammates again. [color=D3E97D]"But maybe Yokoni-sensei might be able to talk anyone who wants us out to into letting us stay in. I'm sure she and the other Jonin-sensei's are watching us all in here, after all."[/color]
