Looks like Mike is skipping out on character interaction day. Oh well.
Other than mike making friends during lunch, the rest of the day went uneventful. Ren remained as antisocial and quiet as ever during the entire day, and soon after the day ended Mike could go home since there was no Kendo practice today. Although he could still go meet with Keiichi since the Kendo Team Captain did say that Mike could come meet with him when there wasn't practice for personal instruction.

Ren, on the other hand, grabbed his stuff right after class and pretty much was prepared to go home. He figured if the Enforcers had anything, they would contact them and Ren wasn't interested in talking to anyone at school. He tried his best not to stand out and went every day quietly.
Class would also go by for Lucian. If Lucian chose to, he could attempt the Ritual of Elemental Healing on just his Air Elemental, since he lacked Lightning and Earth essence for reviving the other two elementals with, or he could just go do something else since that ritual took a bit of time to set up and perform. If he went to play with nature, the abandoned park where they met Ren before or the pier would be good options since not too many people went to either of those.
Just ask me if he would know a certain something, and ill tell you.
Waiting on Val and Bio, but I guess I can just advance Mike and Lucian's day.

Also Ominal, Lucian with his knowledge of summoned elementals granted to him from the Talent would know that they come back 24 hours after they were destroyed, so around midnight (maybe 12:30 ish) is when they should come back.
Mike would have to be really subtle about using 'Observe' in class, since it was a voice activated Skill and it wasn't exactly something you could whisper inaudibly. So he would not be able to use it as quickly. Luckily most people were involved in their own conversations. Unfortunately Mike's observe spree would end a bit early, as the teacher walked into the room to start class. After the greeting and roll call, which Mike would have had to remain quiet for, class and the school day itself would start. Their next break would be lunch, and if Mike checked, the Skill had barely gained any XP at all from those usages of it on all of the students, mainly because he had used it on them before the first day he was here, and the only XP he did get was probably from whatever new information that appeared, which wasn't all that much.

Ren, even during class, didn't take notes. He just kept reading that same book the entire time. Even during lunch, as people went to eat with their friends or talk, Ren just did nothing except read and eat from his own bento in solitude. A few students, who were interested in the new kid and wanted to be friends, would ask Mike if he wanted to eat lunch with them as Mike was friendly and sociable enough to actually get such offers. Mike could either try to make new friends with these three random students, or do something else with his lunch period, which wasn't that long for anything big, but for just visiting or conversations it would do well enough.

After all, despite having this power, it was important to try and live normal lives as students as well, something which Keiichi had stressed was very important several times, and was one of the main reasons why he wanted Ren to go to school instead of skip.
And with that, we have moved on to the next day. This will mainly be a day of character development/interaction where all of the Gamers will have to decide on their next course of action and perhaps get to interact more with NPC characters and the world around them as well.
Sasha would jog back home, hoping to train the Foot Technique a bit on her way home, since it was a rather useful Skill. A little bit of XP was gained in it, but not really a whole lot since it was just a light jog. Still, some was better than none, that was for certain.

Mike, on the other hand, decided to do a much more exhausting training on the way home. While ID Create and Escape used no MP, they still were quite exhausting if used again and again.
Stamina: 29 - 20 VIT = 9
Still, he was able to get some alright XP in both Skill for his short walk home, enough to get 1 level in ID Escape by around the time he got to his house, managing to sustain his actions through the exhaustion of this process of repeatedly using these skills. By the time he got home though he would be a bit tired to do much else, unless he really wanted to, but whether or not he could was definitely leaning towards the 'not', especially since Leveling Up didn't heal fatigue, and Mike had been through alot tonight, especially with his body being permanently damaged. That wasn't exactly something that didn't make one tired.

Ren did no training on the way home, just deciding to walk home normally. Well, normally for Ren being with his PFP in hand as he often played games when going from place to place. Instead of reading that book he got, he decided that he could do that during class at school, since Ren felt like he had skipped long enough. Last thing he needed was his uncle getting mad at him. Even if the man was barely home, Ren didn't need him sniffing around his personal life if it was discovered that he was skipping school and hanging out with a bunch of college kids, as Ren figured that all of them were in college except for Mike, and thus a good four or five years older than her.
The day would soon come to a close, or it already did about two hours ago. Since school started early, Ren only got a few hours of sleep, but felt fully energized anyway thanks to the Gamer Power. It truly was nice, but he felt like he would have been better rested with more sleep, as would the other Gamers if they only slept a few hours. "It sure is finicky about what it wants to restore..." Ren gave a small yawn as he got out of bed and got ready for school, making sure to put that Black Arts book into his school bag instead of his inventory. Last thing he needed was Gaia offing him because he pulled a book out of thin air.

When Mike would arrive at class, he would see a seat that had been empty for the past week was filled up, the seat in the back, closest to the window had Ren sitting in it, reading a book with no title on its cover. There was idle conversation from other students that was going on, a few people giving Mike either a nod, wave, or a hello when he entered. Ren seemed to not have any regards for his surroundings at all as he just sat there and read, and Mike could either go up to him, or just go to his own seat as there was just a few minutes before class would start.
If he fights tougher monsters he'll get more XP cause he's lower level.
With this, unless anyone else has anymore character interaction or discussion to go through (like Silas' and Sasha's conversation there about their attacking Taichi) or wants to ask the Enforcers any questions, this dungeon is over and we can move on.
Ren sighed heavily, and Keiichi somewhat agreed with Lucian. As much as he wanted to convince Ren to go to school and that it wasn't bad, this was neither the time nor the place for such things, and Ren was glad that the lecturing seemed to stop, until Mike gave some sob story. Well, it was hard to make any comeback to that, so Ren didn't. Instead, he turned his attention to Henry, who spoke up to answer Lucian's question and put the whole school squabble to an end since they had things to do here, and Keiichi decided to let it be put to an end instead of dragging it out. There would be plenty of time to discuss it later.

"Hmm... they seem to know about the fact that you have voice activated Skills and can grow stronger from fighting monsters and gaining XP. They also seem to know about your bodies and how they can't be injured, what else..." Henry looked over the file. "Ah yes. They know that all of your abilities use Mana, regardless of what they are. Its from this that they also know that Gaia is personally involved with your Ability, which is probably a reason why they would have been eager to get their hands on you. They also figure that four people getting the ability the same day, after it had already been in someone else for a month, is no mere coincidence, and neither is your close location to one another, that being this city". Henry closed his eyes, shaking his head a little and giving a small sigh.

"They certainly did their homework. Probably paid alot of money for this info as well, the real question is what they wanted to do with it... probably research most likely..." Henry closed the file now. "Anyway, you all should get home. We'll call you if we find out anything else or you can call us if you have any questions, but its late. We're going to seal this place off and investigate more thoroughly tomorrow. So if there's anything else you want to take care of here, finish it now, but after that you all need to go home".

So unless there would be anything that the Gamers still wanted to do or discuss, it would indeed be time to leave.

Ren was sort of ignoring Mike now, and would ignore him if he tried to talk to him again, so the only way Mike would be able to get in another word to Ren is if he actively stopped Ren, cause Ren looked like he was done discussing this crap about school. It was late, he was tired, and so was everyone else.

So it would be time to go home and go to bed, since after all of that rough fighting, they would all need their rest.
