The match began and ended quickly. Das was peeved he didn't get to see more of the two girl's abilities, but he knew better then to even show he disagreed with the headmistress. He marked down some information in his little black book and waited for the next pair to take the stage.

Before the match began he caught Aya's attention and sent her a wink. She could take it however she wanted, it was just him playing with her anyhow. There was no way his fun would end just because her match did.

Aya walked by Das spilling some water so it looked like he peed his pants. While Ebony headed out of the auditorium before the end of class.

Das looked down at his pants, now nice and cleaverly wet. "Oh, that's nice. Really mature, too!"

He pulled off his hoodie and wrapped it around his waist, hiding the "spill". 'Note to self: do not hit on Aya. I think she hates guys.' There was no other explanation, he was pretty hot and had brains. Plus he was tough as nails. why would she go for him, kidding around or not?

Aya sat, storming her mind. She tried to play out her next moves, she wanted to see if she could have beat her. She had to know, this opponent was skilled enough to catch her eye. She had to have a real fight with her.

Das watched and took notes on every student that went through the screening matches. Before long he'd memorized every face and name and ability in the auditorium. The new group of students looked promising, but no one stood out in peticular. The exhibition matches soon gave way to the back up brawls left over from last year. he watched as old faces showed over improved and altered powers. My, how people had grown in two short months.

Gleefully, he took note, both mental and written, on each change and new adaptation. He did so enjoy these first few days the most. It was in that short week or so that you aquired the most in depth and greatest amount of knowledge about your classmates. And it wasn't only him that valued the information. He could make a quick buck whenever the need arose by selling his information to needy and desperate school mates. Whether the facts he sold them were indeed facts or something else entirely depended on who it was asking, if he could take them or not, and his mood at that particular moment in time. And, while he was known to sell the off-handed lie, he always had customers lined up to beg him for the juciest inside tips.

Lalie ran as fast as she could back to class. She'd just finished changing and didn't want to miss too much, lest she be a burden on Carmina by asking her to catch her up more than need be.

Aya made it into the hallway, but there was no sign of Ebony. She knew she would run into her again, but she was very impatient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carmina was already day dreaming in her espionage class. She wasn't interested in spying. She was an assassin or body guard.

Lalie slid into her class room and instantly spotted Carmina. She covered the class, teacher and all, in a forgiving mood and apologized before taking her seat quickly. She greeted her friend with a whispered and cheery, "Sorry I'm late."

-------------

Clo was on her way to the Espionage class, her friend, Max Koma, was the teacher and he'd wanted someone to come by and help with a demonstration on how to silently subdue a guard. She wasn't found of the idea of being used as a human meat puppet, but to have Max's hands all over her was something she just could not pass up.

There was another plus to going there this period, too. One of the Lady's girls would be in there. And she wanted a peek at the child that had an Assassin impressed for whatever reason.

Carmina blinked a couple times as if she just had a brilliant thought. She looked over at Lalie, "What do you mean late, weren't you here the whole time."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony powered past Clo, she was in a hurry to get to her class. She had to miss the beginning class because of the stupid fights. Most students stayed there for as long as they could, not Ebony, she loved academics.

Lalie blinked at her. "What? But, I just got here... I went to change cloths... Don't you remember?" She felt a light panic rising in her chest. Carmina was acting strange.

~~~~~~~~~~

Clo stared after the dark girl. "Hey, miss thing!" she called. Who did this little girl think she was? "Hold it right there!"

"Oh yea, ....oh well,back to sleep" She leaned her head back and put her feet up on the desk in front of her." She was good at dismissing Lalie

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She stopped and turn around, attitude splattered all over her face. "What lady, I'm missing precious class time, I'm coming from the arena so I don't need a hall pass." She turned and began to rush away once more.

Lalie just shook her head lightly. she must have been still half asleep. Worrying over nothing. What a dork she was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Clo reached out and grabbed the girl's collar. "And now you'll be missing more. To the office with you, Miss Attitude!"

Poke-chan wrote:Papi raised an eyebrow at her current opponent. Did this loser just hit on her? "Papi," she answered. "But beautiful will do."

She stepped forward and into the spar area. "Let's go, skinny."

Steve sat patiently waiting for his opponent to throw the first punch. He was defending so he assumed it would be an illegal move. He looked into his opponent's eyes and waited.

Ebony executed a perfect reversal, her specialty. She then dipped out and ran full speed forward, "What's with these crazy teachers today.
