New Frontier Academy - 4/11

Ciniel let go of his collar and then backed away from him a bit. She stared him down in silence for a few seconds. Suddenly, she spoke up. "What the hell possesses you to continuously believe I have rabbit ears?" she questioned, her tone harsh. "It was cute at first, but now it's just getting annoying. Really! It's only been three encounters with you, and you're annoying the living hell out of me. There is NOTHING there! Stop being delusional, moron!" she barked. "No more. Got me?" she asked, still glaring at him.

Rein sighed, "You really don't understand do you?" he questioned, "Originally it was a joke-- due to how fast you were running when you rammed into me," he paused, "However, further evidence throughout the day has shown that you are rather-- sensitive to my jesting. Which is enough proof for me, to know that something is amiss."

He pointed at the lump on her head, "Perhaps it was an overused joke at first-- but now I am genuinely curious." he explained, "Plus, that lump under your hoodie has been wobbling in an awkward manner-- as if it were 'attached' to you."

"But...if you aren't hiding such a thing," he pulled up his sleeve revealing a compact gauntlet, lightly flicking his wrist, he materialized a small energy blade, "Perhaps I could cut off to take as a souvenir...? Just as a reminder of the fun I had-- after all, you said it yourself-- they don't exist." he stated, dispelling the energy blade.

Ciniel took a few steps back, a genuine look of terror in her eyes. This kids a psycho! W-wait, he's not psychotic... he's just trying to psyche me out. He wouldn't legitimately pull a stunt like this. He wants a name for himself, but I doubt he wants to be known as Reinahld Tyson... or something. She took a step forward, her look of terror turning into a look of determination. You're not going to beat me, kiddo.

"I'd make a comment about how only someone who went through life unloved would threaten to savagely slice off an appendage that may or may not exist... but that'd be just cruel." Ciniel retorted. "Now then, would you like me to perhaps lodge a few arrows into your spine? You do seem quite spineless, so I truely doubt you'd mind."

"I'd make a comment about how only someone who went through life unloved would threaten to savagely slice off an appendage that may or may not exist... but that'd be just cruel." Ciniel retorted. "Now then, would you like me to perhaps lodge a few arrows into your spine? You do seem quite spineless, so I truly doubt you'd mind."

His eyes widened, "W-well... u-unloved? You.. you've got it wrong-- I well..." he paused, Compose yourself, dammit! This is now time for you to be freaking out over such banter, it doesn't concern you anymore!

He calmed himself down quickly, and shrugged, "Spineless? Brute? Unloved... and relating me to a savage?" he questioned, "I feel that we both find enjoyment in flinging insults at each other-- so I'll let you in on a secret."

He took a deep breath, "You're right, I was unloved, I felt abandoned-- alone, and I care little for others-- I am only interested in you because you're the only person here who seems even remotely interesting. The 'non-existent' ears, make the intrigue surrounding you-- almost irresistible." his eyes widened as the words left his mouth.

That... was the dumbest choice of words I have ever let escape the confines of my mouth. The hell am I thinking!? I have to redeem this-- FAST.

"Uh... well, wait, perhaps I could have worded that beter-- the ears, that don't exist-- would make you all the more interesting. Is that a better way of saying it? I think so-- perhaps not." he sighed.

Ciniel was taken aback by his choice of words, and even blushed slightly at what he said. Ir-irresistible!? Who the hell does he think he is!? Ugh, but it just figures my insult had to be a soft spot... he better not be expecting an apology. Now I can't use that one too often, can I? I don't want to break the guy. It'd be too easy!

"...Nice save, brute." she said, finally speaking up. "As much as my supposed ears interest you, you're the last person I would give a glimpse, even if they did exist." she stated in a rather matter of fact tone. "Oh, and that whole thing about being alone, and abandoned. Save the sob story for some other time." she said, rather coldly. Yes, yes. You're an outcast, and were disliked. Big whoop. You act like it's rare for that to happen.

You act like it's rare for that to happen.

"Hmm, I suppose that will do." Rein backed off quickly, "Also, it's not a sob story-- you said that the ears bug you, and I said that your insults were bugging me-- fair trade of information, is it not?" he questioned.

"I can stop pestering you about your ears, and you'll stop calling me such names. As I am neither a brute, savage, or a heartless bastard-- though there may be some truth in the latter-- It's not what I would prefer to be called. As such-- I will no longer refer to you as 'rabbit'."

"I would much prefer if you call me by my name, or Rein-- either works for me." he explained.

"Hmm, I suppose that will do." Rein backed off quickly, "Also, it's not a sob story-- you said that the ears bug you, and I said that your insults were bugging me-- fair trade of information, is it not?" he questioned.

"I would much prefer if you call me by my name, or Rein-- either works for me." he explained.

...starting to feel bad... why? Why should I? Ugh. Whatever... "...I have a better idea. I won't tease you about your questionable past nearly as often, rarely at best, and instead of offering you an apology, go ahead and keep on about the ears thing." she offered. "But, don't you dare try exposing your little theory in public. Got me?" she questioned. ...what the hell am I doing? Whatever, I don't mind the nickname so much, as I mind him trying to catch the attention of anyone in the general area and point them out. "...oh, but I can't promise I won't get mad, obviously." she added.

"Fair enough-- after all, around others they'd just assume I am referring to your speed. Which I can explain because of the run-in we had earlier the morning." he explained. Upon hearing the last bit, he smirked, "Of course, that's only natural-- I wouldn't expect anything less." he stated happily.

"Ah.. and about the hand blade, think you could just-- forget about that? It was a joke, I meant nothing with it-- but...I assume you already knew that."

"...sure, I suppose. I figured as much anyway." Ciniel replied. "Anyway, now that that's settled... perhaps it'd be best if we get back to class, bru-- ...erm, Reinahld." she suggested, motioning at the door. "You're already late, and I have yet to see this so-called skill that you're so proud of. Don't think that you're off the hook in terms of skill just because you can summon a fancy blade. You told me to forget about it, so it doesn't count." she teased, crossing her arms.

Definitely going to need to up my game next time the insults go flying. I just lost use of some of the better ones... Ah well, I've got time. He's being tolerable right now. ...I should reposition my ears before getting back to class. I don't want them to start showing if we have another exercise.

[PringlesXD]

Half an hour? I wonder if I should invite anyone to eat something with me... maybe not. I doubt they'd want to come. "I'm terribly sorry, but I must excuse myself. Don't be late to class, everyone." she said, turning to Edward, "Take care of them, okay? And-- n-nevermind." she refused to say what was on her mind. Without any more business there, Jessica quickly took her leave, proceeding to the Cafeteria.

On the way to her destination, Jess came across two girls, who were chatting without worries. As she was making her way through them, the young ladies started whispering about something. However, she managed to understand a small piece of what they said. Look at her. She's so full of herself. What a bitch.

Those words hit her like a shovel. Unworried about the consequences, Jess turned around and spoke.
"I'm full of myself? Well-- sorry for being a hard worker. I find it much more productive to focus my time doing something meaningful, rather than talking about others all day. To tell the truth, it's pathetic. You girls say those things about me only because you envy me. If you stopped being such lazy cows, people would start to know you girls. Now then-- I must take my leave. I already wasted too much time talking to trash such as yourselves." not bothering to hear their answer, Jess continued walking.

Her mind was on fire. She did it again-- offending other people as a defense mechanism. Without even realizing it, Jessica had taken a detour to the garden, which was deserted at the moment. Not able to hold it back, she let tears roll down her face.

[vampko]

Roland let out another laugh, "Well, for your hard efforts, I was able to get a good idea of your guy's abilities" he smirked, as he continued, "All of you are free to take a break, I'll be expecting you back at class within the next half hour" he patted Emma's shoulder,as he said, "Please patch up the little android here". He then walked away, as he turned to the door, and left the room. A Door had opened near where the students rested.

"Rest....sounds good..." Nenechan was nearing her limit. Stupid papa designing me with as little robotics as possible! It's nice being able to feel things and stuff, but pain's not fun...

Half an hour? I wonder if I should invite anyone to eat something with me... maybe not. I doubt they'd want to come. "I'm terribly sorry, but I must excuse myself. Don't be late to class, everyone." she said, turning to Edward, "Take care of them, okay? And-- n-nevermind." she refused to say what was on her mind. Without any more business there, Jessica quickly took her leave, proceeding to the Cafeteria.

She's probably going to get some food. I should probably get going soon enough as well. "Maybe after eating it won't hurt as much? I really need to get bandaged though..." She turned towards the others, "anyone know where I can find a first aid kit?" Then her eyes lit up, "There's an infirmary right!" She questioned Edward excitedly.

Edward looked, as Roland left, and gave a slight bow in respect, and turned his attention back at the recruits. Rune decided it might have been the time to move, as he walked, and glanced towards Tsunade, and approaching her, as he asked, "How are you doing?"

"Systems are at full capacity. Is there a point to your question?" She questioned Rune, a slight expression almost visible on her.

[Ubiquitor]

"Rest....sounds good..." Nenechan was nearing her limit.

"Hmm? Yeah, it doesn't seem as if there was any vital damage done to either of you..."

Looking at her mud-caked hands, Emma continued, "and these aren't the best conditions for repair work. So I'm going to go clean up before class resumes. If either of you feel that you need some tuning up or something later on, perhaps we can visit the Technician wing together. Ooh, actually that would be pretty cool! Anyway, see ya in thirty. Let's go, Aureolin!"

Emma and Aureolin waved goodbye and headed off.

She turned towards the others, "anyone know where I can find a first aid kit?" Then her eyes lit up, "There's an infirmary right!" She questioned Edward excitedly.

Edward turned to the girl, as he said "Hm? Of course there is, there's one within the passageway for students that get injured during the training courses" he looked at her curiously, "But wouldn't the mechanic ward suit your needs better?"

"Systems are at full capacity. Is there a point to your question?" She questioned Rune, a slight expression almost visible on her.

Rune was a bit taken back , "Ah, No..." he rubbed the back of his neck, "i was just worried, with the memory loss you suffered," Because of me... he thought

Edward turned to the girl, as he said "Hm? Of course there is, there's one within the passageway for students that get injured during the training courses" he looked at her curiously, "But wouldn't the mechanic ward suit your needs better?"

"I'll go there later, thanks!" Nenechan began hurrying to make her way to the infirmary.

Rune was a bit taken back , "Ah, No..." he rubbed the back of his neck, "i was just worried, with the memory loss you suffered," Because of me... he thought

"That does not affect combat capabilities." Tsunade stated.

[Rydux]

"I'll go there later, thanks!" Nenechan began hurrying to make her way to the infirmary.

Edward looked as she left, and said to himself, "I guess not" he then turned to leave, a he went to the cafeteria, and caught the spatz Jessica had with a group of girls, as he sighed, and looked at Jessica as he left. He continued getting his food, as he muttered, "You're only making worse onto yourself"

"That does not affect combat capabilities." Tsunade stated.

"I...Guess not, but doesn't it bother you that you have little recollection of your background?" he asked, "And there's your master issue..."

[JerichoDeath]

Meera followed after her, looking around to make sure they were alone. "So, what's up with the rings? Let's take a look at those results before class starts up again."

Sierra shifted her Wings to open the little scanning compartment. It was doubtful she would need it again, being one of the Wing's more nebulous functions.
The Device Wings themselves had two primary functions: Hover Mode (active), and Majin Cloak (Passive). Earlier, the Hover Mode had overloaded due to Sierra using the Jet Propulsion twice in a row. Apparently, Majin Cloak took too much of a toll on the hardware for extended use in battles. Good to know.

Sierra looked at the readout on the little screen.
"It didn't find anything besides the functions to deceive electronic detection equipment... still, I wouldn't trust it anyway. I'm going to have the Device Wings copy the Detection Blocker code from the ring so I won't have to wear it.
Meera, I'm worried about you wearing one of these. Will you let me make something that uses the same function to hide you from Majin Detection Equipment?"
