With the hopes of not having ANY ninjas around, for some reason Irelia got anxious as she step foot on the Institute's grounds; learning that the ninjas are pursuing her to join their group made her feel.. unsafe.

Honestly, she could spare some time knowing information from the ninjas' friend, Syndra. But that alone is not supposedly to be done easily as that person has this cold shoulder to her that she doesn't know why. Perhaps she really don't like her, or maybe she is not capable of that girl's liking.

She finally sits on her seat at the back, yet that feeling of being constrained came back, white hair is in front of her that is tied perfectly in ponytail.

However..

"Sup."

"Eek!" She squeaked as the ninja who wears a facemask, that facemask is not the surgical one that he used before, jumps at her sight. "W-What do you want..?"

"Just wanting to see if you're comfortable on that seat." Zed asserted, chuckling at the girl's lame, cheeky reaction. He glances at the mage who is reading something. "What's that? BL?"

Irelia gasps on what she have heard.

"Is that question is supposedly for YOU after I had seen you reading your Ninja Love novel at the alley." Syndra retorted, squinting at the ninja who coughed nervously.

"Stalker! I knew you are a PERVERT!" Zed pointed at the mage's face.

"Pervert!" Far away from the seats is Kayn who responded from Zed's argument to support it.

Instead of having a heated argument from the mage, what he got is a painful stomp from the mage's foot. Seeing it makes Irelia deduce that this Syndra person has a quick temper from annoyance, slipping the fact it's not a good idea to seek information from her.

"Tch! Shut up. I am reading." Syndra went back reading and drives Zed away.

"Tsk! Whatever." Zed rolled his eyes. And so it went directly on Xan's blue ones. By the look of his face, he has something in mind. "So Zan."

"It's.. Sān. Irelia corrected of her name's pronunciation.

"Yeah? Sun?" Zed called her name again but it's still wrong. Sighing that her use to correct names is not working.

"Uh.. What is it?" Irelia just leaves it alone and went to the point. She said that in a straight face that made Zed feel rewarded, he shoved a piece of paper at Irelia's desk and went back to his seat. Weird. She takes the paper and what she have seen is a short paragraph and a sloppy drawing of a silhouette and dark clouds with shadows in crayons.

Need freedom? Tired of being bossed around? FUCK everything and JOIN THE SHADOWS! ❤️

Irelia feels a breeze from her back, that slogan of their group is giving her a massive amount of cringe. But she could spare telling what kind of.. activities do this Shadow club do. So is her plan after this class, or maybe after school is to extract information about the said club.

9:30 A.M.

Gym

The dressing room is crowded with students that are ready to take the P.E. class. The windows are high that the curtain can be a shield for every privacy that takes place inside the room, lockers are placed in a row accordingly to the names of the students; each students has their own lockers that all of their equipment, clothes and even miscellaneous things are placed inside. Since Irelia is a transfer, her locker is located at the far side of the room, unfortunately, her chance of having solitude is not much intriguing as a sight of the white haired girl with violet, glowing eyes is just right next to it.

She feel so..open. If she could ONLY catch the mage's violet glance, she would definitely flip out with anxiety.

She is just a student. Nothing else. She hasn't done anything wrong that will anger the mage. Maybe because the mage really don't like her at all. Oh well. Irelia shakes it off and focuses on switching her gym clothing.

She started unbuttoning her blouse, slowly. Her heart beats that she could feel embarrassment, especially when the stoic yet annoyed mage is right next to her. Good thing Syndra is almost finish wearing her gym clothing. The mage looks like an athlete because of that ponytail, the sight of a fitted clothing falls her peripheral vision. Only to know she caught her staring, Irelia blushed and went back switching her clothes in haste. The mage huffed and turns around, leaving the room while afloat.

"Goodness.." She thought with her gaze catching a little bit of the mage's back. "She's making me feel nervous. I have this feeling she could spat at me in any second.."

Shaking her head to remove her doubts and staying positive, she returns back switching her clothes. Hurriedly, before she would be left out inside the dressing room as the time for gym class is about to start.

At the Fields

"Line up, everyone! We will start the drill." The P.E professor said; somewhat a coach in terms of profession. He clapped his hands that grabs the attention of the students. Each student falls in line accordingly to their height. Irelia falls in line and finds her spot that could specify her height among the students. Before she could position herself accordingly to her height, someone passed by, knocking her shoulders which is done accidentally or was in purpose. She lifted her eyes and glared at whoever did such thing.

Just right straight to her pupils, a sight of a girl having a green facemask went behind her then returning a glare from her dull red eyes. Her uniform fits her very well which it made Irelia conclude that this girl might be athletic, green ornaments and a hairclip were seen also on that girl. Wondering if this girl could be a member of that Shadow group that her classmate Zed encouraging her to join because of the presence of the facemask, or maybe.. she is a ninja? Just like them.

"What." The girl said in a uninteresting tone.

"Nothing." Irelia replied, returning back her gaze ahead to focus on what activity would this P.E. class throws at her. The professor looks uncertain on the line arrangement since the students has their own variety of sizes and shape, especially on the first line where small creatures; Yordles were.

"Alright. We will start our program. Today's activity is this.." The professor revealed the tool for the activity. A ball. That's that. But the students roared in excitement. She heard some students screamed especially..her.

"Ha! FINALLY.. I can't wait to CRUSH peasents!" Syndra laughed in sinister. She glared at the ninjas at the boy's line who were shivering and in disbelief.

"Pfft..Pea-sents?" Irelia heard a chuckle from her behind, the girl snorted behind her green mask. Wondering, Irelia ask her why. "That girl likes Dodgeball so yeah. I can't wait to see everyone get squashed by her skills."

"Dodgeball? I haven't heard that.." Irelia inquired further. Great. She is oblivious on activities of this school.

She can see herself get battered with insults and disgraceful remarks from her ignorance.

"Woah. You don't know Dodgeball? You sure you don't have any sources to live in." The girl somewhat made a statement; probably an insult on how she said that but that fall on to pity. Great.

"I am just new. So it's obvious." Irelia retorted, a little offended at some point.

"Oh." The girl might be snickering behind her mask. She noticed Irelia's attitude behind her ignorance which it kind of made her interested. "Well, that makes you an 'EZ' opponent then."

Wait. EZ? What? Irelia raised her brow, formulating the idea of that term to her memory. "Oh great. Now she looks down on me." She thought as she concluded that that term means easy. Well, of course she shouldn't be showing weakness now.

"As what I've told you guys last time, we will be having matches that are lined up in random. And I will be judging your reflexes, power, skill and accuracy by beating your opponent in ways under the rules of Dodgeball. In case of injury, we will stop the match. Understood?" The professor explained thoroughly. The students shouted yes as the approval.

Now the professor is declaring names for the match, Irelia got nervous on how will it turns out.

"Okay. Next group in match A is.. Syndra vs Soraka." Gasps can be heard after the professor declared names. Perhaps.. they fall in a deep disbelief as they heard who will be in match. At the line, a student is cowering in..fear. She has white hair but her tone is in a shade of light purple, elf-like ears and one of her notorious asset is that horn sticking at the middle of her forehead.

"S-Soraka.." A creature.. well, maybe? Her features resemble as a siren; in a way of an aquatic sea-creature does, probably seen as a mermaid. Under the race called Vastaya because of the anthropomorphic figure. Nami is her name, speaks for the purple girl. She can feel anxiety on Soraka because of the match pairing, she will be against the best person of this activity of all places. "I-I.. Don't worry! I will let you have the tides.."

"A-Ah.. Thank you.." Soraka stammered, quickly enough she prayed to bring her luck.

"If you can't do it. We will notify our professor.." The yordle named Lulu got worried, behind her is a small fairy named Pix who also nodded in approval.

"Geez.. why on earth does professor paired you up to Ms. Dodgeball." Tristana, also a yordle pouted, almost irritated because on how it turns out to be that Soraka will be fighting against Syndra. "Good thing I'll be fighting against Lulu. Hehe."

"Hmph. We'll see.. Don't go bawling at me in the end." Lulu huffed, continuing to bring up confidence for her match against her friend.

The professor grabs their attention and declares the last batch. Of course, it has to be Irelia's. "Last match.. Xan vs.." Irelia gulped that her name is being recognized, she can feel her heart is about to explode with the tension given. Who could it be?

"Akali." The professor ended, closing his notebook and proceeds to the field.

"Great." The girl behind her said, sighing a little. "Seems my assumptions were true."

"You are Akali?" Irelia said, turning around and facing the green ninja. "I can't believe it."

"Yeah. I can't believe it either that you'll be my opponent of all places." Akali rolled her eyes, shutting them by seconds. For some reason, there is a hidden sarcasm behind it. "For someone who doesn't know Dodgeball, you better be."

Irelia notices that she is being underestimated for no reason. Maybe because she is new that this will be her first time playing Dodgeball. Perhaps, this Akali is very straightforward that somehow falling to coldness, why it has to be negative? Maybe.. because she is just a transfer that no one expects it to happen that she has no friends to begin with. Literally, she is being hated as soon she stood on the institute grounds by that mage, being spied and pursued by ninjas who wanted her to join in a Shadow group, plus this? Life has been.. melodramatic.

"Okay everyone! Start the games!" The professor clapped and made his way to the bench to observe. Each student prepares for what will be the results of the Dodgeball. Students are having fun dodging and throwing soft balls at their opponents' faces. Well especially Syndra..

"Ha!" She flings the ball straight at Soraka, who immediately crouched and covered herself, resembles point deduction.

"GAME! Syndra!" The referee shouted.

"Easy." Syndra flips her hair, went cocky out of the sudden.

Soraka's friends scuttled and checks up on her to see if she is okay. Good thing Soraka has no injuries whatsoever. A sigh of relief just happen on them that made them feel better.

"Oh wow wow. Looks like someone wins." Zed dribbles the ball and commented, he might have heard that Syndra won the match.

"Oh wow wow. Looks like someone loses on a yordle." Syndra faked a sympathy, almost burning half of Zed's pride.

"He is small and quick so it's plausible!" It is obvious that Zed got humiliated and embarrassed.

"Hm? Is that a reason? You are a ninja so you should know what to do." Syndra crosses her arms, making a small support on to her statements regarding on Zed's loss. "Perhaps YOU are distracted..by that." The mage pointed at the direction where Shen who is literally dodging countless balls while his sweat is splashing on his skin.

"Hmm.. why look at that. Some juicy meat jerkey is dodging.. Balls." Syndra snickered, well she teased.

"PERV-" Zed got hit by a ball instead.

"Ah!" A girl running towards him. It was her.

"Oh." Syndra ran her eyes on the girl having a ponytail and a fitted pants, almost surfacing the perfect womanly muscle features of those thighs.

"What!? Oh it's Zan." Zed rubbed his head to ease the pain.

"Sorry. I missed hitting my opponent." Irelia apologized, taking the ball with her and scuttled off.

"You are wasting time with me! Why don't you hurry up?" Akali shouted, almost making Irelia irritated due to her cockiness.

Completely distracted, Syndra didn't know that Zed is nudging her. "What? Something's on Zan?"

"None of your biz." Syndra turns around and covers her mouth. Never knew she was distracted by that, of all places why would she? Given the fact that attire is one of her best features when it comes on costumes. Thighs. Interesting.. She made a thought seeing magical girl costumes showing thighs fully, for once of her life she IS distracted by that. She could spare making rounds of seeing and observing that girl's thighs for awhile, FOR research.. purposes.

Zed shakes his head that he might've noticed Syndra's sudden avoidance. "I KNEW IT! You are scheming on something to Zan! I can feel it." But that made him shut after the mage surged forward and covers his mouth, raising three balls above which is pointing on to Zed's face. A death treatment. Perfect.

"If you SHUT yourself for awhile.." Syndra's eyes went full purple, smirking devilishly while she threats the ninja.

"Ok FINE. Can you just chill?!" Zed immediately defended himself. "I just came from the loss on my games yet YOU are pushing me to the edge!"

"JUST ADMIT THAT YOU ARE SCARED!"

"Why would I get scared?"

"For a crappy Edge Lord like you, a pathetic idiot who LOST on a FUCKING Yordle!" Syndra laughed mockingly. "WEAK!"

Hearing a countless swearing at the side of the field, Irelia got somewhat distracted by the curiosity on what's going on. She didn't noticed that the match is still ongoing that a swift ball landed on her face. Her rear landed first on the ground, groaning in pain that she might've break something on her.

Akali strutted on her side and looks down, shaking her head in disbelief. "Rear planted. Hard. It seems you did your part to be oblivious on Dodgeball. Good, good." Instead of helping Irelia up, Akali crouches and stares deep at those bluish pupils. A little idea which it could settle on mockery, playing with an insult that could make things interesting.

"Is that how ninjas treat people who aren't superior than them?" Irelia spats.

"Looks like you've made your own research." Akali added. Leaning further to see the girl's face.

"Research for knowing how ninjas are identified with that facemask? I've seen few ones."

Akali heard that well from that information which it brought her knowing that she must be indicating those ninjas. Sighing from that, she stood up. How come she made her reminded them? She is not angry but she feels so irritated upon hearing them, surely she probably disgusted rather on dealing with it though their presence is here at the very most of this field since they are having their class.

But that alone wants her to know more, maybe to find out how Irelia knows that. However..

"Oy!" A male voice boomed on the opposite direction, he called someone that pulls a trigger point on her kin. "She's down! She's down!"

Irelia got tensed on what's happening, and she is replied by a smoke coming from her side. Someone just made a gray smoke that obscured her vision. She coughs and stood up, until someone sweeps the smoke away.

In front of her has a purple glare, tall and menacing, she got tensed who is this person. The smoke made it look mysterious and creepy at the same time that it made her hostile. She is about to run until a hand stopped her, the smoke bellowed and receded, one thing settled her eyes is that person that made her anxious.

"And where do you think you're going?" The mage said, almost stopping her tracks to leave. "Does this disgusting smoke made you bow down in fear? Pathetic."

"Oy! Stop hurting Sam's feelings! Why would a Magical Girl wannabe tries to be so damn cold?" Kayn mocked like he imitated a voice of a little girl. Until that move made him turned him queasy that Syndra throws a ball directly on his crotch. "SON OF A-"

"My name is not.. Sam." Irelia squinted, correcting Kayn's calling.

"Why not? Your name sounds like it." Zed shows up nowhere, with a ball again on hand. "After all! You are under the Shadow Club's care! We found you got hit on a ball so we rescued you."

"Excusez' moi. I rescued HER." Syndra emphasized 'I' as a prominent role of this one. Though, that French word is more emphasized. "And DON'T shove your ass that your Shadow Club is doing such care on this."

"Wow, you speak French?" Irelia got interested.

"It's part of the curriculum and I got good grades on the class." Syndra went confident from the topic. "But that doesn't fall under my type so yeah."

"Yeah whatevs.. But I excel on Japanese." Zed nodded, doing such that he might've preparing to equip confidence in case Irelia would also got an interest.

"Who fucking CARES? You two are weebs to begin with." Syndra spats coldly, until she thought she is wasting time. "Come. We're going to see the nurse."

She drags Irelia along the way to reach the building, never knew she is now noticed by that person who stood on her anxiety. Wondering why is the mage treats her like this out of nowhere, yet Syndra stopped on the way. With her eyes glowing again, she turns around and glares at her side.

"What? We are JUST-" Zed and Kayn is following them in silent. The ninjas turned into a solid tree in other words, petrified.

"SHOO!" Syndra sweeps a magical purple wind and drives the ninjas away. The injured girl has know idea how to respond after the ordeal, she could speak on behalf on what's going on and so why those ninjas are following her. They reached the building in peace that Irelia got tensed again, the mage is quiet all the time and untouchable..

As soon they were about to reach the clinic, Syndra opened the door and drags her inside. The clinic smells alcohol from the medical equipments here, all are in white except on the partitions that separates beds which is in navy blue, it brings privacy on patients as well, though it really looks dreary upon seeing it. The nurse is sleeping that Syndra got ticked off.

"Um.." Irelia started, but she was silenced by a finger. The mage drags her towards the bed and made her sit. She went off and get some medical supplies without waking the nurse, things make a small noise while she takes the kit that brought Syndra tensed. And that made her think otherwise, she used magic to get the kit and prepared a small clear, purple sphere and envelops it around the nurse's head. She hovered and went on the girl's side.

"What did you do?" Irelia whispered.

"I made a sphere to obscure her head to minimize the sounds she may hear." Syndra opened the kit and explained. "Did that troubled you?"

"Maybe. It looks dangerous." Irelia replied, just answering the mage's worries.

"I am always dangerous." Syndra snickered. "See how those weeb lords acted like a girl when they see me."

"Well yes." Irelia ended her part, though it really fall into silence that she could feel awkward. Starting from the beginning, the mage was cold until yesterday. Yet this time things turned unexpectedly that she could think of finding the answer.

Yet..

-drip-

Something red just went coloring her bed, a single drop just made the sheets having a small dot of fluid that made Irelia wondered. She lifted her hand and tries to locate where, until a hand stopped her and forces to stay put. Syndra puts a cotton on the left nostril of the girl that puts the rushing of blood to spill out.

"Thank you.." Irelia said, not directly looking at the mage's face which it could lead into blushing.

"You made a fall on today's activity, do you feel anything?" The mage said, her face is just the same without showing anything rather than a usual poker face. Still.. she couldn't resist looking at her thighs.

"Ah. I am alright. Thank you." The girl squirmed a little.

"I see. Then everything is okay now." Syndra is about to stand up but..

The nurse groaned and stretched, the sphere is still on her head that it may lead into suspicion. Immediately, Syndra pops the magic and closes the blinds of the partition. She pushed the girl on the bed, though it made a series of rustling that brings noise.

"Damn it. She is awaken. Don't. Move." The mage ordered, a glare happened to land on her bluish eyes, Irelia can't help but to stare at it. Still, the mage is really up too close on her that made her heart skip a beat. Though the mage just went on the Dodgeball activity, it really looks like she didn't broke any sweat.

"She's too close.." Irelia thought inside her mind. "And.. she smells nothing but normal, without any smell of sweat."

Looking down, the mage noticed that Irelia is getting worked up. Seeing it made her think of something intriguing. "What are you thinking?"

Irelia heard the mage well, got tensed up with a helpless state. "Nothing."

"Really?" The mage whispered. "I can see how you are tensed up right now."

"S-So what if I did..?" Irelia remarked.

"For sure you are uncomfortable. Well thank for the nurse who woke up by just now." Syndra elevated a little. Inch by inch, she may give those.. thighs a small touch, but it looks impossible. "After all.. it's getting cramped here."

"Yeah." Irelia said flatly. Also with her avoidance on contacting on the mage's eyes.

Syndra has this opportunity to slip her hand, well though a finger is enough to do so by touching those tight pants of the girl. Well.. yes admitting she may be a little perverted but that alone has this point of resistance. Of course this is just for her research purposes!

Almost there..

A hand is about to slide across the sheets..

Towards the edge of those pants..

Almost.. There!

"Can we just.. Apologize that we waltzed in without her consent?" Irelia suggested, though it was really a passive approach.

"Oh? Hm.. maybe. Might as well. Hm?" Syndra sighed and smiled a little, was it? That smile is just to conceal her disappointment. "Tch! I almost had it!"

Frankly, Irelia is the one who opened up on the nurse and apologized. The nurse is half blindingly inattentive due to weariness. Good thing that happened. And so they left the clinic without any hindrance. For sure that event may be quick for Irelia because the nurse is blank as someone did a staying up challenge.

Irelia went grateful to the mage's kindness. She bows as a respect in traditional way which made Syndra snicker.

"Hmph. No big deal." The mage smirked, though it may be forced to her.

"I..I didn't know you are a good person." Irelia added again. "And I am sorry that I am rude on that day."

"Oh that? No big deal." Again Syndra absent-mindedly replied, only her to feel the disappointment rises upon her.

"R-Really? Well I should make up to compensate how I acted that day." Irelia stuttered, for sure her face warmed up a little.

"Don't mind at all girl." Syndra shoves the thought about compensation. Oh wait. Compensation? She is about to lean in to Xan's ear to speak up her.. desire. "Compensate me with your-"

"Oy! Gurls!" Kayn suddenly pops up on the wall that made Irelia shriek.

"Whaddup Garls." Zed slurs like an idiot, he came from the wall as well with Kayn.

"For God's SAKE!" Syndra got annoyed. "I ALMOST HAD IT!"

NOTE:

Well well well.. It looks like something just made our mage desires for.. thighs. Mmm.

EXCEPT for Zed and Kayn's antics that ruins EVERY moment! Ugh!

Anyway guys! I am sorry! Lot's of school works! I don't have any much time to continue, but that is not the indication that I discontinue my stories! I will do my best to get time to write!

Next chapter would be the start of the real deal. We will see! And oh yes! Some parts of this chapter made me think of something, which it means I may think of making a short story about our beloved Rogue Ninja Akali! I will see it for myself.
