Golden week passed by for Edward far too fast. After his horrifying encounter with Rodrick he mostly found himself staying inside with Ramyu and working on his spellcraft. He bumped up that sort of thing in importance, knowing there was someone out there insane enough to try and kill him in broad daylight. The first incantation he would learn, then, would be something useful for self-defense. He pushed himself hard, and ended up nailing down the basics of Arcture Academics' Elemental Blast, though all he had so far was the Light element version. Ramyu did so too, but admittedly she only did so to pass her and Ed's class, and would promptly be forgetting it after. Edward had treated her to a nice lunch at a cafe after all of their studying was done, but it certainly took some convincing-- he even forced Ramyu to bring one of her more concealable blades.

Luckily, the week did indeed pass without incident despite Edward's fears. Unfortunately, afterwards he could no longer hide in his room, and would have to rejoin society to attend his classes once the ninth hit. He and Ramyu would have to be apart for at least some of those classes, so he took two precautions assuming fate wouldn't keep Rodrick from seeing Edward forever. Firstly, he began keeping a small novelty switchblade/comb he had gotten for his birthday on his person as a form of insurance. Secondly, he made sure to report what had went down between the two of them first thing in the morning to Ed's homeroom teacher, Utsumi. The young teacher assured Edward action would be taken, though Ed had a feeling it wouldn't be a substantial prison sentence or restraining order like he hoped. Either way, it was [i]something[/i], and left Ed feeling more prepared than before about his inevitable encounter with Rodrick one day.

He was not prepared for that day being [i]today[/i] however. The last class of the day was something Ed was a bit interested in, Shinto style exorcism of Yokai and Demons. He took notes eagerly and excitedly, hoping to make a few protection talismans for himself and coat the inside of his jacket with them or something else he often wore. Once the bell rang and he began packing all of his stuff up, though, Lorelai, who admittedly he had completely forgotten about much to his dismay, called to him... as well as Rodrick and Helena. Rodrick was glaring at Ed something fierce, it seemed. In fact it seemed Rodrick had been doing so for a significant portion of the class without Ed's knowledge, just a few rows behind him.

[color=00aeef]"Uh-hum... s-sure, Lorelai..."[/color] Edward mentioned, slyly positioning himself behind her, and moving his hand to the pocket where he kept his knife. [color=00aeef]"Hey, Rod. You uh... you're not gonna try and kill me again right buddy? Since I'm just lucky and really not in any way special or powerful or magic or anything. Also Ramyu would totally kill you back for me, she mentioned hating your guts, hehe... Anyways! Talismans, right, let's all go work on them, right team?" [/color]
