Well, Yasuhide was definitely the first to make the comparison without making some kind of pun, so that much Asuka appreciated. That said, once the word 'doctor' left his mouth, Asuka had to hold back a groan of indigence. Why must the universe insist on steering her in a direction she so utterly despised? Clearing her throat, she offered a polite laugh to his words, pursing her lips as her fingers drummed her knees. 

Fortunately, she was saved from having to give a response as the Dean commanded silence from the entire room. It was kinda impressive, but she had to admit that feeling dwindled the more the speech went on. Weren't these things supposed to be more awe-inspiring? Maybe he was trying to wheedle out the cowards, but Asuka didn't exactly feel intimidated by it. Survival of the fittest was probably what he was trying to get at, but that also didn't really seem very heroic. Oh well, she wasn't in a position of authority so she didn't care. All she wanted to do was graduate, get popular, and rake in the adoration she deserved.

Once the speech ended, everyone moved around them--other students who already knew where to go, the difference between them and the newcomers obvious at everyone who stayed in place. Asuka suppressed her sigh, her right hand tossing her hair over her shoulder as she flashed a smile at Yasuhide. [color=ffdb9a]"Well, that was enlightening,"[/color] She joked, pausing as she noticed an odd tension in his expression. What, he could pelt someone and laugh it off but get intimidated by a speech from an old guy trying way too hard to spook the freshman? She waited a few seconds for a response, finding none. Maybe he was lost in thought.

Asuka placed her hand on his shoulder as she tried to get his attention. [color=ffdb9a]"Yasuhide-san? Is everything okay?"[/color] She asked him gently.
