Cortez's face puffed up again.

"Yush, yush," she said, still trying to stick behind David, but straightened up when he stood next to her. "This landlubber needs some manners. He's a [i]mean-lookin'[/i] landlubber. Bully."

Ryuu would have planted his face into a hand had it not been for him focusing on Adenine. Oh, if only the dunce in front of her would just say something! For some reason, the otaku was feeling tad bit annoyed by the way they were looking at each other, but he decided otherwise. If he was a troubled man, then technically, Ryuu was on the same boat with him.

The otaku sighed before barely walking over to the student he never met before. Actually, now that he thought about it, he did see him at the cafeteria, but only for a while. Still exhausted from the hectic events, the student wearing broken sunglasses said to the dark-haired student with a hand raised for a shake,

"Name's Ryuu. You?"

[i]Wow, I actually managed to sound decent in that part...[/i]

...

[i]...But I better get going to the infirmary soon. And I swear, if the doctor's crazy as well, I'm gonna go nuts.[/i]

Cortez, on the other hand, slowly began to inch behind David. Even though he was a friend of this "Ryuu," the pirate captain of the Screaming Pearl felt that it was safe to take cover behind him. She felt pretty safe, like she was hiding behind one of he crew mates.

"Are you hurt, mate?" Cortez asked, hoping that this student was not hurt. After all, he seemed like a good person. At this point, her confident voice had slowly begun to surface.

Meanwhile, Terotrax wondered why he was standing at the back gate of the school.
