Kaida Baeumont Jett Haven Kasuke Mina Roy Kusayanagi
Kaida nodded,
"Thank you Kasuke. she said simply as she started to follow Kasuke to class. She did note that she didn't smile, was she just being polite? She glanced at Jett who was following as well, did she interrupt something? Is that why Kasuke had a tone earlier? She pushed that thought away as she walked next to Kasuke. Putting her hands behind her back as she glanced back at Jett and smiled. The boy was handsome, and was charming with his words. She looked forward as she blushed a little some more thinking on what he said, a little hop in her step. He could be very well just being nice to her. But still it made her day.
She glanced over at Mina and said,
"So which class are you both in? Hero? General studies? I happen to be in A-1 Hero course...I was held up this morning with an issue...So I missed the first half of school." She said. She already knew as Roy told her, but she wanted to hear it from them as well. She stopped bouncing as much as her sword was slapping her thigh a bit much. She touched the crossguard with her elbow to stop it from swinging as much, Her eyes still on Mina, while glancing at Jett every minute or so.
”We’re both in the Hero course too. A-1. So that’s good news,” Mina answered with just a hint of sarcasm. The glances at Jett weren’t going unnoticed, nor did the sword, which Mina beckoned to.
”I didn’t know they allowed weapons here.”Kaida smiled missing the sarcasm: she looked at Mina and said “That's Great! It seems it's my lucky day.” The fact that Jett was her classmate. “I've run into half the class already! Must be destiny. “ she looked at her sword and suddenly realist Mina could be right. “Oh I want stopped by security when I came in I figured it was ok. “ she turned red at the thought she might be breaking a major rule. “ I guess I have to ask the next teacher and find out “
Jett while he was speaking with Kaida, had noticed Kasuke acting out when he was busy speaking to Kaida out of the corner of his eye. He had a slight smile on his face as he thought it was cute and funny. He literally had spoken to Kaida for only thirty seconds or so, and yet she acted like it was hours. Once Kasuke answered Kaida she quickly move on without even looking at him. He cocked his head to the side. Slightly confused at what just happened. He followed as well, glancing at Kaida as she looked back at him. He smiled at her and moved to the other side of Kasuke so she was in the middle.
Kaida mentioned she was in A-1 which was surprising with how many new faces had shown up after the fact. But it was a good addition. The room could always use more pretty girls. He didn't want to say anything because her question was directed to Kasuke. So he just looked forward and waited for her to answer.
Roy had been thinking about how much of a presence the principal had in the cafeteria, the man wasn’t even using a quarter of his power but rendered the students almost useless. Roy was still shaking a bit but was smiling at the same time, he wanted to be that powerful one day. The boy ran up a flight of stairs as he read the room number for Culinary, it wasn’t too too far from the cafeteria. He walked past a large window that gave a view of the back of the Academy, you could see the boarding house as well as a large open field. It was relieving to go from being couped up to in a hospital to so much freedom and practicing his dream. He turned the corner and closed his eyes as he took in a deep breath soaking in the moment and the sun, he was about to reach 50% energy.
That should be enough for now Roy put his cloak back on, it was a specially made one that wasn’t just any regular piece of cloth. It blocks out light completely, effectively preventing Roy from overcharging.
Roy turned a corner and saw some familiar people, well at least the back of them. It was Jett, Mina, and Kaida. They were all walking together in the same direction that Roy was heading, maybe they had Culinary as well. Roy called out to Jett,
“Mr. Hotshot” He said waving a hand in the air. The boy began picking up his pace to get closer to the group as they were some ways down the corridor. “Do you all have Culinary as well?” he said as he got closer to the group having a small hopeful grin.
Mina noticed Roy, and nodded. There was some underlying current of respect between the two. Mina let Jett do the talking, though, and she wasn’t in the mood.
Jett raised his eyebrow at someone calling out mr. Hotshot. He glanced back to see no one but Roy waving his hand at him. He wondered why he called him that. But he simply nodded at Roys question.
“Yes we are all in it.” He said in a soft tone. He was surprised that Roy would be taking this course. He had a few reasons himself, the one he told Kasuke about, the other was because the class would have most likely more girls in it. And when a girl saw you knew how to cook. It opened so many doors. Perhaps Roy knew this as well.
He glanced at Kasuke, wondering if he should say anything to her. Unsure of still of what had happened and if she was really mad at him. He decided it was best to just wait for a better opportunity. However at this exact moment he heard his phone beep. Pulling it out he quickly checked and had a big smile come on his face. If Kasuke was able to see She would have seen a picture of him and Lady Obsidian posing together. He saved the picture and quickly looked up 'the idiot General' under his contacts and sent a message with that picture attached.
Look who I was finally able to meet! by the way, where are you?! . He sent the message and slipped the phone back into his back pocket
Kaida had frowned when Jett walked to the other side of Mina, She was hoping to walk next to him, as he had a warmer body. Not like Roy’s but still. After Mina would give her answer, Kaida would hear Roy calling out someone. Realizing they were the only ones in the hall at that moment, she figured out that he was speaking to Jett. As he answered she cocked her head to the left and wondered. If he was called a Hotshot… was he one of the more popular guys at school? Was he already that Impressive in his skills to receive that nickname? He did seem like he would be that type of guy. Strong, confident and handsome. Not that she really knew, she only heard about this stuff.
She looked at Roy.
“You are taking it as well?”Roy was a little relieved that he had interesting people in his next class, he pulled his cloak around him a bit tighter so he could contain the heat a little bit. Jett didn’t seem to react much to the boys nicknaming at all, he probably wouldn’t even mind getting called that from now on. He then turned to Kaida as she ask if Roy was in it as well.
“Yeah. It's sort of something I always wanted to take but never exactly got a chance to because of personal reasons” He didn’t have a problem explaining to the group the reason behind it but he’d rather not bring the mood down for everybody.
“I'm not particularly a pro though I am not a bad at it either” he said scratching the side of his head. He used to help his mother make dinner all the time before the hospital visits began, it was like their little time of peace as well as escape from the problems they had, Roy gripped his cloak tighter at the thought.
“But on a better note, It's good to know you didn’t make any violent actions in the cafeteria. Mr.Hisakawa came in and made a..’statement’.” There was emphasis on statement,
“Moral of the story, I wouldn’t get on his bad side” The boy said as he joined caught up to the rest of the group.
He noticed that Mina didn't look like she was in the best of moods, her body language gave off that sorta Aura.
“Why the long face, Kasuke?” Roy asked the girl, though he was unsure if he would get the response he wanted.
Jett glanced at Kasuke as as Roy asked this. He hoped she would open up as he wasn't a mind reader. But he doubted he would get some useful information out of her like that. Girls tended to say things were ‘FINE’ and expected someone to understand what they meant. He figured it must be the French thing. But he might be way off base.
Looking Kasuke directly in the eyes. “Perhaps it was because I spoke to Kaida in French, if it was I am sorry I left your out. It was Rude of me. I just got excited to speak in French.”
”That’s part of it,” Mina answered, sighing and looking a little less annoyed at the world, softening a little.
”Thanks for apologizing, Jett. And Roy, don’t worry about it. I won’t give you the always-worrying ‘nothing’s wrong’, but I’ll be fine. Thanks for the concern.”Mina didn’t feel she had the energy to stay mad at Jett. In fact, when she stopped trying to be, she discovered that she wasn’t in the slightest, which begged the question; why was she trying to be? Even she didn’t know. She just knew that it had something to do with Kaida. But even looking at it logically, all she’d done wrong is ‘Um’ed and ‘Ahh’ed, and got Jett’s attention. He hadn’t wronged Mina. She hadn’t slighted her. There was just something about Kaida that rubbed Mina up the wrong way. She’d have to ignore it. She was a member of the Kasuke family and she would conduct herself as such.
When Jett asked was it because he was talking to Kaida in French Roy raised an eyebrow. It turned into a cheeky smile when Mina said part of that was the reason. For being left out he got a reaction out of Mina, someone who liked being on her own most of the time, Roy tried to hide his smile.
“I don't speak French either but I do know Italian fluently” he turned to Mina. “Are you perhaps mixed with anything else other than Japanese?” He asked tilting his head.
Mina thought for a second.[color=ffff99]”Anything other than Japanese? Well, I can speak high school English, but there hasn’t been a great need for me to be multilingual in the past.” having just said this, she got an idea, and turned to Jett.
”Could you teach me French? Or your grandfather. But he taught my mom.” She ended the request right there, as if teaching her mom made sense as a valid and logical reason to not want to learn from him, but from her outburst at Dulga, it was clear she had some kind of mom issue.
Jett nodded, surprised that he actually got part of the reason right. But he was glad that he could visibly tell that Kasuke was a bit calmer now. One hole dug out of pretty quickly. Lucky him. “ Of course, Kasuke, I don't want to accidentally insult you by the things I do. If I do please I want you to tell me..” he smiled before he looked to Roy as he explained that he could speak Italian. He didn't see the Italian in him, but what did he know.
Kasuke then explained she knew high school English. All he knew was some swear words. A thing a Frenchman must know. He actually had the thought of offering to teach her some french if she wanted.
She suddenly turned to him and asked for that very thing! He had a soft smile and bowed his head a good deal. “I would be honored to teach you some French Kasuke. I was actually about to offer, as well. “ If it meant some alone time with Kasuke he gladly would teach her every word in the dictionary. It sounded she would rather it be him as well. Which only made him smile more. He was also appreciative that she didn't mention him as the Frenchman. Just as his Grandfather. He was sure that she felt the same way about her mother, he was sure she was a pro hero, obviously as his grandfather taught her, but he didn't know or ask which one she was.
The blonde boy tilted his head towards the ground slightly as he listened in on the two. Trying his best not to ruin the moment, it was funny to the boy because he didn't expect things to take this route. He was eager to see Mina's response to Jett, it was engaging to watch from a back seat. Understanding and observing others was something the boy has done for years. That and a lot of Tv can help with guessing why one would react a certain way, Roy had a good guess why.
Kaida watched as the Jett apologize for leaving Kasuke out of the conversation, she was quiet as they spoke a bit surprised really. She was one to always apologize, but in all honesty, Jett had no reason to apologize. They spoke for less than a minute in French and SHE was MAD? She blinked a few times, she could tell she was from a rich home like her, but she seemed to be a bit on the spoiled side. She didn't know why Jett a sweet man like him would tolerate her. It only goes to show how good of a guy he really was.
Then Roy went on to say that he spoke fluent Italian. Which was interesting to say the least. If he had said Greek he would had gained her full attention. As Greece was where her mother was from.
Mina then decided to ask Jett to teach her French. As much as she loved the thought of people wanting to learn her language. She felt that perhaps there was an ulterior motive to her asking Jett. She frowned a bit, she may not have hit on many boys… any actually. Nor has anyone really flirted with her, but this was a clear what Mina was trying to do. A simple request to take up his spare time for herself. She was going to ask Jett for some lessons in Japanese, as she could actually use some. She still had much to learn. But Mina… she did it cause Jett could and didn't want to be left out.
She sighed and looked at Roy, who was just standing there waiting for an answer from Mina, she didn't want to interrupt, despite not liking where this was going.
Mina was actually surprised that Jett was about to suggest he teach her French. Then it occurred to her that me might have been lying to impress her, and it struck her as odd that she immediately believed him. Her, with her healthy scepticism of people. There was no ulterior motive in her request, which was oddly pure for her. She actually simply wished not to be left out of conversations between Jett and Kaida. She was a pretty girl and Jett was the kind of boy who needed protecting from himself wherever pretty girls were involved. Why was this her job? Well, it had to be someone’s.
After such a large pause, Mina almost felt embarrassed responding
”You were? Oh, well, thank you!” Great. Now she was almost ‘um’ing and ‘ahh’ing. What was wrong with her? And what was wrong with Kaida? She’d suddenly gone rather long in the face. It wasn’t because of something Mina did, was it? If it was her own icy and snappy attitude, why did it take her this long? No, there must be another reason.
Roy picked his head back looked forward before peeking out the corner of his eye at Kaida, who was now the one who looked down in the dumps. The two had been walking behind Jett and Mina, the blonde boy tilted his head before pushing his cloak back giving him more movement for his hands. He held his right hand out in front of Kaida, slowly constructing a miniature hospital room in the palm of his hand using his quirk, the cloaked boy dulled the lighting on the construct so that it was much less stressful on the eyes. Roy took his left hand and placed it over the constructed scenery, it played the part in giving definition to the short story about to be told.
Soon monitors as well as a life support system was molded, into the scene following a boy appearing in the hospital bed sleeping. the boy had short hair and lacked a mouth as well. On the life support monitor you could see his heart rate gradually slowing down. Soon two more characters came through a door on the north side of the hospital room, one in a lab coat who small eyes another with long hair and a slightly curvy body symbolizing that she was a women.
Their heads were moving side to side representing them talking to each other as the young boy slept. Soon the doctor left the room and the mother walked over to the boy who was asleep, you could see tears coming out of her eyes as they fell on top of the boy before disappearing into the rest of the scene. Roy then swirled his left hand over the construct, a yellow wind came and blew the scene away before moving onto showing a calendar flipping through years starting from 2014 to 2017. A boy with shaggy hair was being shown with a cloak who was meant to represent Roy himself, there was also many other characters there too with their defining features. Ezra being taller than the others, Acion and his wings, Donny looking much more rounder than the rest and their teacher being representing by a tie and glasses. The girls were represented with their long hair.
He showed the battle when Roy and Ezra faced off against Lysander and they escaped the crumbling and how Ezra knocked Lysander out with a punch to the back of the head. Roy began smiling when construct Roy flung his hands into the air at what construct Ezra did. He face then got slightly red with embarrassment as he showed when he was fighting with Mina, construct Mina was much shorter and had pig tails.
He showed how she blinded him by making her characters radiances as well as construct Roy covering his eyes. Soon it came to the part where Mina kicked Roy in the head though he made it look much more dramatic, giving a good representation of what it felt like. Construct Mina took a running head start before leaping into the air with a flying kick right into the side of construct Roys head sending him flying a few yards back into the ground before laying on the ground and waving a flag saying he surrendered.
Roy swirled his hand over the construct making a new scene of Construct Roy looking at the ground all alone before, soon one one by one all the characters becoming popping behind the boy, representing the friends he has made. It then came to the part where it was lunch time and he was walking with Ezra and they bumped into a girl symbolizing Kaida by her much longer hair and good posture. It showed everything that had happened from lunch leading up, Roy changed the scene one last time showing construct Kaida sitting on a park bench alone looking sad. Construct Roy came walking along, slowing down as he almost walked past her befores stopping and walking up to the girl with his hands behind his back before pulling a Rose out from it and handing it to the girl. The construct going up in a small flash and dissipating, the small particles glittered brightly around the two before Roy held out a extremely defined Rose construct in front of Kaida. He was careful not to use too much energy and burn her though, it felt like holding a freshly made cookie. The rose would hold its form for a couple of minutes before dissipating completely.
“You have beautiful smile. So please smile more.” He said softly as his sea green eyes met hers, Roy had a smile on his face as he spoke and held out the rose for her.
Kaida was pulled out of her thoughts by Roy trying to show her something. She was confused at first, wondering what and why he was doing this. She was going to ask, but decided against it when she realized that the boy in the hospital room was him. It seemed kinda odd he would share that part of his life story with her randomly. Though while paying attention to Roy, she did see how so slightly Mina was flustered by Jett admitting he was going to offer to teach it to her.
It was almost night and day how she acted with Jett and how she acted with her, and a little with Roy. It was clear Jett meant a little more to the girl, Even though she tried to hide it, and hid it well. In the short time she spent with them.
Roy’s little show continued, she saw partly what happened earlier that day, though she did not understand much of the context she did recognize a few people. So she knew it was today. She could not help but giggle when he showed the part of him being kicked in the head from Mina, clear from the pigtails, but she giggled at the part where he raised the ‘white flag’.
it came to the part when he met her with Ezra. Though he did show the part of her falling, and she did not like reliving that memory a bit. But it was interesting to see how Roy did do it stop her from getting dirty. Then it came to a scene where it showed her Sad on a park bench. She was confused now. This didn’t happen… she watched as the little Roy stopped and pulled a flower from behind him and gave it to her. Her cheeks had a slight hint of rose on them when she saw this. Still confused. It all disappeared in a flash and it seemed as if the stars themselves were falling around the both of them. She was distracted for a second, only to realize he was now holding rose in his hands that was so detailed it looked real.
Her eyes wide as she didn’t know why he was doing this, she pulled back a little as she was unfamiliar with the situation, but she did reach out when he offered the rose and took it in her hand without hesitation of the heat she felt coming off of it. For any normal girl they would have gotten slightly burned from the heat, not enough to actually leave a first degree burn. But enough to smart. She took it though and it clearly showed that the heat did not even bother her.
She looked back to Roy after holding the rose close to her face to feel the warmth as he then finally said something. Which caused her to turn even more red. Not as much as she did when Jett called her a beautiful angel, but still bright cherry red. She did smile at it though. She was so lucky to find such nice people...for the most part. But being called beautiful and having a beautiful smile in a ten minute span from those she just really met was amazing. She didn’t know what to say.
“T-thank you Roy.” Was all she could muster before looking away shyly. She held the rose close to her and gently in her palm completely covered the petals, as they gave off the most heat. Her mind was now filled with thoughts of the two boys and their kind words. How was she to deal with this?
Jett had a soft smile as noticed the long pause and the change in the way she spoke when she said Thank you. She seemed just slightly flustered after taking a moment to reply. Wait was that the first time she said thank you to him? He liked it, alot. Sure it was just for teaching her French, but it was still something. “You're welcome.Thank you for asking. It means a lot.” He said with a big smile.
It did mean a lot actually, the fact she asked him to teach her, when she was a strong independent lady showed that she trusted him enough to take on that personal role. Where he was sure she could get any real teacher she wanted and had a teaching degree. Was it because he trusted her enough with his medical issues to have her there when Nurse Explained his problem. Not something one would just let a girl they liked listen in, or anyone for that matter. The fact also that she tried to give him a smile after the news, as he remembered thinking back to that moment. There was a much softer side to her that he wanted to find. As much as he loved her strong side.
He was so caught up in his thoughts and while walking he missed what Roy was doing behind them, only to catch the rose he created and handed to Kaida. To be expected with such a beautiful girl like her. He did find it odd that he didn't suddenly feel the need to try and one up a slick move as soon as possible.
He shook his head smiled as they came to the door where Culinary Arts was. He stepped ahead of Kasuke and opened the door for her and Kaida. He watched them walk through and quickly followed in with a smooth motion moving ahead of Roy, but still keeping the door open for him to walk in.
There were tables with four stools on one side, he quickly passed the girls again to get an open table and pulled out two of the stools, strategically with one in between them for two reasons. One, they seemed to not quite get along. Two, so he could sit between them!
Roy watched as her face got red, he was genuinely happy that he had snapped Kaida out of her gloom. She took the rose and held it really close, Roy’s eyes widened at this. It seemed like she was not bothered at all by the heat that Roy generates, his face grew slightly red.Not many people really could handle the heat from his constructs or his body though this girl from france handled it with no problem, this made the boy's curiosity peak of exactly who she was.
Kaida thanked the boy before turning her head away, her face even redder than before. She couldn’t even look back at the boy in the moment because of how she was blushing. “Your welcome” he said back softly before turning his head as they reached the culinary room. Jett opened the door for Mina and Kaida before walking in front of Roy and holding the door open, Roy didn’t understand why he was doing this until the got into the classroom and Jett fixed the seats so he could sit in between them. Roy just smiled and rolled his eyes before taking off his cloak and folding it before placing it on a rack in the back of the classroom.
As he walked back to the table he rolled up his sleeves as he prepared for what was to happen in the culinary class. The tattoos on his arms visible for all to see, as he walked back to group at the table, he took the last seat on the left of the table next to Kaida. A smile still on his face as he inwardly laughed to himself on how Jett placed himself in between the two. Roy had a front row to seat to spectate, as long as he didn’t upset either girl he had no problem with the seating arrangement.
