Turning his back to the gate, Sarge was met by two late students. “You guys are extremely late, it’s lunch right now. I hope you guys have slips to explain why you're late or there will be punishment by the school.” He said folding his arms as he towered the tardy students.
Roy began packing up his things after hearing the bell ring for lunch, he was pretty hungry after the long first day he was having. A nice lunch would put him in a better mood, he gathered his belongings and placed them in his backpack before making his way over to Ezra's desk.
“You tryna grab some lunch with me Big E?” He asked slinging his cloak over his shoulder with a smirk.
Kaida looked up at the big man… she gulped as he looked like a man who didn’t joke around much. She frowned and said in a tiny voice.
“I’m so sorry! We got caught up in something in town.” She offered the slip the officer gave her to the security guard.
“We would have been here earlier but the police held us for statements…”She gripped her left arm with her right hand and squeezed. She hoped it would be enough.
Sarge took the slip and began looking over it, “Alright come with me” he said as he escorted them into the main lobby of Komei Academy. The inside was just as nice as the outside, students had been coming from a staircase on the other end of the lobby before taking a left towards the Cafeteria. “Well i’m sure you guys probably haven’t had lunch yet, try not to be late again” he said before nodding his head towards the lunchroom. “Enjoy” He said before yelling at some students who seemed to be pushing.
Kaida sighed in relief as she followed Sarge back to the main lobby. She looked around in amazement at this school. A spark of excitement started up inside her. She was actually going to begin her first day of REAL school! She looked up to the man and nodded
“Thank you so much.” she said sweetly.
“I promise it won’t happen again!” After nodding at the ‘enjoy’, she slowly walked towards the cafeteria….she could hear a bunch of kids talking with each other and she stopped just outside the door. She could do this… she could make friends… but what if she sat at the wrong table? Or talked to the wrong person...Groaning inwardly she held her hands to her chest, trying to work up the courage to walk in.
Ezra looked down at his desk. Boy did he hate ordinary lessons, and this definitely wasn’t an exception to the rule. He was quite annoyed at the fact that he had to still participate in normal lessons despite being at a hero school. He knew it was important in case anything went sour, but he never had the motivation to succeed academically. He found himself dozing to sleep half of the time in lessons, though he did admit that the teaching here was certainly not bad. He had been more engaged than he normally had.
It was not to his surprise when Roy had came to his desk later to ask if he wanted to go get some lunch. He of course, had come up with another nickname for him. Why did these people refuse to use his birth name, he could not fathom, but he swore that the next nickname that he got from someone, he was going to refer to them as a cunt, in some shape or form. That’d show them. He grinned to himself as he looked toward Roy.
“Aight, I heard they got some good ass food here. I’m starvin’.” he spoke as he slung his bag over his shoulder and got up, ready to follow Roy.
Roy tilted his head in confusement when he saw Ezra grinning after asking him if he wanted to get something to eat. Maybe he was started to warm up to his nickname, or he really wanted to eat. He started walking out of the classroom with Ezra following.
“I’ve heard the same thing, anything sounds good to me since. I’m pretty used to hospital food” He said chuckling. The two made their way down the main staircase and into the lobby before make their way into the cafeteria, Roy looked all around taking in the view.
“This beats the hospital mess hall by a long shot” He said before stopping in place as the food hit his nose, he gulped as his mouth began to water.
“What is this beautiful smell?” He said as the intoxication of freshly made food permeated his nose, he felt as if he was thrown into a dream as the world played in slow motion around him. He reached into the pocket of his slacks and grabbed his wallet, opening to check how much money he has before turning to Ezra.
“If don’t end up as big as Donny with the way we’re eating, I am gonna be ashamed of myself” he said gathering all the money he has.
Ezra cackled at the comment Roy made. He enjoyed good banter and roasts, regardless of whether there was a victim. He did feel a bit bad, but his laughter overwhelmed that. His hunger quickly stopped this however, as he smelled the food. He knew immediately what was required of him, as he seemed to lose all regard for logic or budgeting. He wanted meat. A lot of meat. He began to walk to the counter, sighted on his goal, so focused however that he did not notice what was in front of him, and he ended up bumping into a girl, much much shorter than him. Quickly snapping back to his senses, he put his hand out to the girl.
“I’m sorry, are ya ok? I didn’t see ya.” he spoke, regretting his foolish actions. He just hoped that the girl that he had knocked down wouldn’t take it badly, given as it was an accident and all.
Kaida finally had gotten the courage to move forward when suddenly it felt like a truck hit her from behind. She let out a tiny yelp as she was knocked over. She did manage to put out her arms and stop herself from hitting her face on the floor. She groaned as she now sat on her side, her legs together and looked at her wrist that were hurt during the fall. Not much, just annoying.
Great her first five minutes in school and she was knocked over in the middle of the lunch room. She could feel dozens of eyes on her as she looked down and her cheeks turned red. This was horrible. She then heard someone speaking to her and looked up...way up and saw a very tall and handsome boy holding out his hand to her. She didn’t know what to say at the moment as her gold eyes looked up to his. She looked at his hand, then back at his face, as if unsure what he said. As it did take a second for her to translate it in her head.
“Oh…” she flushed,
“I-I…” Her accent heavy.
“Yes.. I’m fine. I’m sorry, I was...in the way.” Feeling extremely embarrassed at the moment. She hesitantly reached her own hand took his. While she did this she looked over to see a blonde boy looking down at her as well. He was much different from everyone else… he was hot...temperature wise that is. He was at least 20 degrees hotter than anyone else in the room. How was he even standing? Most people would be dead at that temperature.
Roy turned back to ask Ezra what he was gonna get first before seeing him knock down a girl, his eyes widened as her arm hit floor to break her fall. He quickly moved through the students before making his way back to Ezra who was sticking his hand out, the blonde boy knew accidents happened, usually in a situation like people would think Ezra was picking on students smaller than he was.
He got closer to the girl, putting his wallet away in his pocket. As he got closer the heat he was giving off became more radiant.
“Are you okay? Seemed like a pretty hard fall” And it was, Ezra wasn’t no ordinary kid. He towered over the both of them, he leaned over towards Ezra.
“I know this was an accident but you should at least offer the poor girl you knocked over some food” he said, it was the least he can do.
Ezra pulled the girl up when she had grasped his hand. Her hands were soft, yet they felt weird to the touch, at least to him. Not like anybody else’s hands that he had ever held. He made sure she was steady before letting go so that she would not fall over once more, before nodding his head at Roy’s suggestion. He did feel bad about it, especially considering that the girl was cute. Her accent didn’t help Ezra change his mind in this regard.
“I know it sounds kinda stupid, but do ya wanna eat with us? I’ll get ya lunch on me, whatever ya want.” he spoke, with a smile as he scratched the back of his head and blushed a little bit. He did feel pretty stupid that his hunger had clouded his judgement and made him bulldoze this poor little girl, but he was hungry, and a man had to get his food.
Once she had got to her feet and he let go of her hands, she patted her sides down of imaginary dust. She gave a small smile, as to show she was ok, but then looked at the blonde boy. Who had asked if she was alright.
“Oui!...I mean yes, excuse me. It was a short distance to fall.” She said, a little red in the face at her first attempt at a joke. The boy then told the taller one he should by her food. Her eyes wide as she raised her hands in protest.
But before she could the tall boy then asked if she wanted to eat with them and went along with the idea to pay for her. That was nice of the both of them to offer so much. He even blushed as he offered it. It was cute, such a big man blushing at asking a simple question.
She smiled sweetly and closed her eyes.
“No no.. I couldn’t…”She had to think of the word.
“...Possibly let you do th at for me… I mean I was the one who was in the way.” She placed her hands in front of her, gripping her own wrists. She managed to...well get pushed over by some of the nicest boys she met in Japan. Perhaps luck was on her side.
“I would love to sit with both of you though…” she added with a blush of her own and a sweet smile.
Roy smiled as Ezra listened to what he had to say, he was also happy to hear that the girl would accept his offer to eat with them.
“Now that you plan on having lunch with us I think we should get to know a little more about each other. My name is Roy Kusayanagi and this is Ezra Jasekade. We are both in the hero course Class 1-A” He said as stuck his hand out before taking a glance at Ezra who’s face was red. The mighty Ezra, taken down by a small girl.
Roy grinned as took a long blink before turning back to the girl,
“It is a pleasure to meet you” He said as he held out his hand, as his sea green eyes met her golden yellow eyes.
Ezra quickly stopped blushing as he remembered the company that he was in, and he realized that they had better get lunch quickly, before the queues had built up even more than they had already. He figured that the best way for him to do this was by using his body to push through, as he had on his way into the school. This was his best way to proceed, at least in his eyes. It was kinda hypocritical given as he just knocked a girl over, but he was fucking starving and could probably eat an entire horse at this stage.
Sticking his arms out and pushing through, though being careful not to completely bulldoze anybody, he went through until he had reached the front of the queue. It was at this stage that he didn’t remember what the girl wanted.
“What do ya want? I’ll buy it for the both of ya, but ya still have to pay up Roy, I ain’t knock you over” he shouted over the crowd, hoping that they would be able to tell him.
Kaida took Roy's hand with a soft grip and smiled at him
“It's a pleasure to meet you as well Roy!” As she felt his hand she could feel the heat coming off of it and it felt amazing to her. So warm and welcoming. She resisted an urge to wrap her arms around him and cuddle him like a teddy bear. He had nice eyes to boot. She looked to Ezra to say hello to him but he suddenly trudged off towards the line. Her hands shot up to her mouth as he started pushing his way towards the front of the line. When he called back to her and Roy she reddened even more.
Now the other students were looking at them. She felt so embarrassed that he did that, maybe they thought she forced him to do it! She wanted to roll up in a ball and die. But he was forceful enough that she quickly said
“I don't know!? Whatever you think is good!?” She didn't see any thing that she really recognized, but she also wanted to get him out of the line quickly so the other students didn't have to wait on her.
Roy frowned when he said he had to pay, after all the things he put him through today he couldn’t at least treat him. Roy cupped his hands together to project his voice louder,
“ Get me some of that beef with rice on the side!” He shouted loudly. Hopefully he was able to hear it, he didn’t have a voice like Kenichi but it should do in the situation. He turned back to the girl,
“We should probably get a table, wanna eat inside or outside.” He said as a student bumped into him, making him drop his cloak.
He tried picking it up before another person bumped into him as well which began angering the boy.
“I hope you don’t mind, it might get a little hot around here” he said his eyes began glowing yellow as he released some solar energy he had stored. The students around him began feeling a wave of heat as the took a step back,
“Lets use this chance to get out of the way” He said as he began slicing through the crowd with his veil of heat making his way towards the lunch tables inside.
Ezra had managed to hear them both clearly enough, his hearing was very good selectively, but what bothered him was that both of them were so fucking vague he had no idea what to get. He figured for Roy, he’d just get the roast beef dinner, but he was stumped for the girl. He figured she needed something nice. His favorite was pulled pork burgers, so he figured she’d like that. It was the nicest thing he could think of, so he figured that he’d just order it for her. Hey, if she didn’t like it, he could have it. He licked his lips as he ordered for himself however. He ended up ordering an entire chicken, 2 steaks and 2 sets of ribs. He was famished, and boy did he love his protein.
Somehow managing to keep the plates from falling, he ended up walking toward where his two accomplices were seated. They had found accommodation inside of the building, and he saw no issue with this, given Roy’s quirk. As he walked over, he placed the plates in front of those who had ordered them, before finally taking a seat himself.
“Sorry about that, I shoulda asked ya orders first. You can pay me after we ate Roy, ya yellow prick.” he spoke with a grin, before promptly realising that they had new company. He wasn’t particularly embarrassed, it was just his dialect slipping out, and it happened quite a lot, to the point where he stopped caring what other people particularly thought about the way that he spoke.
She looked to Roy and said
“Inside is fine with me.” She watched as students bumped into Roy, and continued to bump into him as he tried to pick up his cloak. Before she could even try and help him he then said it was about to get hot. Smiling, “I can take the heat.” She said as he started to emit more heat. Inside she sighed in relief at feeling the warm waves reached her. She nodded when he started to lead the way, she got as close as she could to him without being awkward about it.
As she walked she noticed another blonde boy dancing in the line. She giggled at the sight as he seemed to be in his own little world. She could not dance and she could never. EVER. Dance in the middle of a cafeteria full of her peers. She wished she could have his confidence, as well as the confidence as Roy and Ezra. They made it to their table and she sat next to Roy and his heat. But she watched as the other boy almost ran into someone but caught himself rather gracefully. Almost getting in a fight.
She looked to Roy and leaned close even though no one was around, she used it as a reason to stay near the heat and asked.
“Do you know who that is? The one who is dancing like a fool?” She didn't point, it was rude to point. The reason she also took notice was because he didn't look like a native. He looked very European.
It was about this time Ezra came with the food and she looked down at what she got. Her head cocked to the side. She never seen anything like this before. Where was the silverware? She looked up to Ezra as she called Roy a yellow prick. She was confused, she thought they were friends? Japan was a strange place.
She smiled At Ezra and said
“Thank you so much you really didn't have to do this. I'll pay you back for sure next time.” She looked at her plate and asked.
“What is this called? And am I supposed to eat it with my hands?” She asked, very aware she was sheltered and her face was red.
Roy smirked as she asked who the boy was,
“Oh that’s Jett, he is in the hero course class with Ezra and me.” He said. Once they made it outside, Roy stopped releasing solar energy. He took a deep breath before finding a seat, “We can sit here”. The blonde boy took his seat right before Ezra approached the two with a large amount of plates. He called roy a yellow prick before handing him his food,
“Well if I have to pay you back you never specified when” He said as he took apart some chopsticks before bowing his head and giving grace for the food. He took a bite out of the beef and began taking in the food full of flavor, he closed his eyes and drifted off into his own little world.
But was pulled out of it when the girl asked what the food he brought her was called, Roy opened his eyes looked at it before.asking the same question. “What is that food called Ezra, I’ve never seen anything like it” He said just as confused as the girl, it had two buns so was it some type of sandwich.
“I think it's a sandwich” he said before taking a mouthful of rice.
Ezra was incredibly shocked to hear the girl state that she had no idea what the pulled pork burger was, nor did she know how to eat it. Were people that went this school really this rich and poncy? He couldn’t exactly believe it, but it seemed that everybody that he met was just incredibly rich in some shape or form, which made him question why exactly he bought this chick the food.
His surprise turned to shock when even Roy had no idea what the food was, stating that he believed it to be a sandwich ‘Well fucking done sherlock’ he said inside his head as he shook it in disbelief. Pulled pork wasn’t exactly some street meal, he figured it was fairly generic as a barbecue staple, but perhaps the people that he were dealing with only ate premier steaks and wines or something.
“It’s a burger with pulled pork. Eat it with your hands. Careful you don’t get messy.” he spoke as he began to tear into his own food. He was devouring the chicken, nearly eating half of it in no time at all.
She felt even more embarrassed when she noticed Ezra’s surprise at her and Roy’s lack of knowledge of these burgers. She always had a chief on hand that made her whatever she wanted. She didn’t even really even think about food from other countries… and despite eating whatever she wanted she just really ate whatever he made, which was mainly French cuisine. She watched as the two ate and she unfolded a napkin and placed it on her lap.
She tenderly picked up the pulled pork and as some of it already plopped out on her plate, she made sure to keep it level and took a tiny bite. It certainly wasn’t like anything she ate before, or as messy. But her eyes lit up at the taste. It was really good for being something that looked slopped together. She took another slightly bigger bite and placed the burger down. Taking another napkin and wiping her fingers. She could do without the mess that was for sure, she would blow through a whole package of napkins before she finished this.
She then realized she never even gave her name.
“OH I am so sorry, I never introduced myself…” Looking to both of them and straightened her shoulders.
“Je m'appelle Kaida Beaumont…”Dang it… she did it again.[color=92278f] “Excuse me… i still easily slip back into my native language still.” She said bowing her head slightly. Then she realized.
“Oh wait...you said A-1 Hero course? I’m in A-1! What a coincidence! “ Her smile brightened as she realized that her two new acquaintances were also her classmates. They certainly were entertaining enough, That would mean that Jett was one of her classmates as well. She glanced over towards where he had sat down. He was speaking with a blond girl and a bigger dark haired boy.
If three of her students were this eccentric, she wondered about the rest of her class and how they would be. Maybe she wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb after all? She smiled as she looked to Ezra.
“This is delicious by the way! I'm glad you picked this one…Thank you. “ See he was right, it was a sandwich. He looked at Ezra who was shaking his head in disbelief before giving a dopey smile with a mouthful of rice. It seemed stacked full of meat in the sandwich, one false move and it would fall apart. The blonde boy kept on enjoying his beef and rice before snapping his head as the girl began remembering that she forgot the introduce herself. Though it wasn’t in japanese, it was in french. “You must be European then Kaida if you don’t mind me calling you by your first name, you certainly look like one. I am japanese and italian” he said using the chopsticks to point at his blonde hair and sea green eyes. His face lit up when he found out the girl was to be in class 1-A with the two.
“That’s awesome, if you like us then you will like a lot of the people in class 1-A” he said before looking over to Jett, Donny, and Mina who were sitting together. “Well some of them may take a little too warm up to but everyone means good in their own sort of way” He then began eating a little slower as he thought to himself. “Wait...if you are in Class 1-A why weren’t you in class today? What happened..if you don’t mind telling me that is” He said as he ate the last piece of beef on his plate.
Kaida nodded.
“Yes, I’m French, and part Greek. You can call me Kaida that’s fine.” she said sweetly. She looked at his hair and eyes when he pointed to them. Then when he continued about how some of the students may take a little to warm up, she cocked her head to the side.
“Oh?” Following his gaze towards Jett, the blonde and dark haired boy.
“What do you mean by that?” She genuinely wondered. But when he asked why she wasn’t in class. She scrunched her shoulders up and looked away. After pushing a loose strand of her white hair back over her ear, she thought of how to word it.
She felt silly worrying about saying she fought some villain that was threatening some kids. Especially that’s why she was here in the first place was to learn how to do it. It would also sound like she was bragging.
“Um… I was helping some kids out of a bad situation…” she said, being extremely vague,
“Along with…” She perked up as she realized that Luelle wasn’t near her anymore. She got swept up in the moment of getting knocked over, and making these new friends. She felt bad… hopefully she would run into her again.
“Someone else. “ She finished before looking back to him.
“Sadly it made me miss the first half of school because of it. I’m just glad they didn’t turn me away at the door. I was really looking forward to today.” She looked around the room and noticed a boy and girl speaking. The boy had six wings while the girl just had two. But six wings was insane! She never saw anything like it. It looked like he was trying on some Armor the girl had given him, she looked slightly older. Was she related to him? Their features did look similar. But he had white hair like she did...which was rare in her opinion.
She continued to look around and looked outside to see another person in a tree. Wow it was a woman and she was TALL. She could tell even though she was sitting down, her long legs hanging down proved it as well. She couldn’t tell much more cause she was mostly covered by the leaves. But that was an interesting place to eat some lunch.
She explained the reason why she was late, she left it at just helping kids out a bad situation. He smiled,
“At least it was a good reason” Roy left it at that. If she wanted to go more into detail she would have, some people just weren’t as open.
“It is a shame you missed the battle simulation, since you're in the hero course you must have some great ability that got you in to Komei” at this point Roy was full from the food and really wanted to take a nap right about now.
“By some time to warming up they have may seem reserved at first, but that’s their little defense. One they get to know you a little they will open up a bit. Probably a small handful of us are really open to strangers, including me and Jett. You will know who the rest are later on. The blonde girl over there is Mina, the boy with black hair is donny.” He said as he saw Donny with more food than Ezra. That boy could eat.
He then saw that she was looking over at the winged boy,
“That's Acion over there and..” he didn’t seem to notice who the girl was next to him. She was quite the eye cand.., Roys face went blank when he looked back at the two seeing they looked completely similar. The same hair color, wings, face. Roy felt sick all of a sudden, it was almost like looking at a Acion if he was a girl.
“I don’t know who that is, I don’t think she even goes here considering she doesn't even have a uniform” He said looking back towards the pretty girl next to him. He felt a little bit better, he then noticed the super tall girl from earlier in a tree.
“That girl I also don’t know, though she is in our class, she also came in late” He said before realizing that Ezra got all this food but no drinks.
“Ezra you big oaf, you didn’t get any drinks!”@Heartfillia@Artymis
