The instructor leaned back and watched as the game of "tag" went on. As if it could be called a game anymore, since it was shaping up to be a miniature battle at this point. He hadn't stopped it so far since, well, everyone was following the rules, surprisingly enough. Not one had used their Noble Arm and no one had thrown a punch yet, which was good, all things considering. Even better was the fact that he could see signs of intelligence in a few of the students movements. Actions that had been planned out in the spur of the moment, actual teamwork, and of course, the wonderful abuse of loopholes. Not bad, not bad at all.
Over with Pablo and Luis, as the two of them rushed the pair of twins, they suddenly found that they were barricaded by a group of six people. The two twins flinched away from Luis, thoroughly intimidated but not backing down, safe behind the wall of meat. All six people who were barring Pablo and Luis from touching the twins were, surprisingly, taggers, however they made no movement to even touch the twins behind them.
The reason for this strange behavior was soon made evident.
One of the twins approached Luis and stopped at a safe distance, where she could still be heard, but would where she would be untouchable.
"Hey, big brother, we don't really feel like running too much, and we don' want to have to face penalties either, so if you could, like, just not tag us, we'd be happy to treat you to lunch later!" she stated in a high, chirpy, voice, while at the same time flicking a wallet open, revealing bills upon bills of cash.
Meanwhile, King and Gloria were giving the instructor a headache. Loophole abuse was one thing, but the fact that King just pulled out a knife . . . well, this would end badly if he didn't step in soon. As King swung his knife around, the instructor could see several students back away in fear, unsure if the knife was real or not, but unwilling to take the chance that it was. Finally, he had to draw the line when a near miss caused a single student to flex tensely in reaction. The tense was familiar to him, and just as the hilt of a dagger poked out of the students hands, he stood up and blew his whistle.
"San Dao! Gloria! Timeout for a moment! The rest of you, continue!" he said, calling them over. Sighing, he waited for them to approach before pinching his nose in frustration. "Okay, now I know I said no Noble Arms, but that doesn't mean you get to pull out a weapon either, disregarding the schools rules, what did you think would happen if I had allowed you to continue using it?"
Before they could answer, he answered for them. "I'll tell you what it means, it means someone is going to bring out their Noble Arm and it's going to turn into a complete clusterfu- er, mess. The point of this warm-up is to get you to be able to move away from dangerous spots without relying on tools, because you won't always have them. Now, you hand over the knife and can I trust you to do this properly? And seriously, you've got Gloria on your team and you still need you still need to use a knife as a crutch? I'd call it unfair, but life isn't really fair anyway."
Back on the quadrangle, people were starting to get frustrated with Takumi, and he'd attracted a small mob of people that were determined to catch him. There were about ten of them, a mix of upper and lower years, and had been trying to push him into a corner before surrounding him. One of them in particular was getting closer and closer to tagging Takumi.
Jessalyn and Grey were approached by a single man, dressed in the teachers uniform. Frowning, he walked up to them. "Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but are you new students here? If so, I need to inform you that classes have already begun, but we'll be ending early today. If you want, the rest of the day is free, though I suggest you return home quickly, but if you wish to, you may attending whatever classes are remaining."
