This is a challenge from JackFrost14 in the KHR challenges forum.
Silence reigned the whole lobby of the museum as Uni said her last statement with a smile. Looking at everyone's excited expression, sans Tsuna who was more detached and complicated than anything else, she went to ring a nearby bell in the counter.
Ring!
Tsuna's intuition spiked up even before he caught glimpse of a familiar hooded, violet-haired teenage male enter the room from one of the seven doors. The hooded male was quiet and mysterious as he walked towards Uni with small, casual steps. A lot of comments were without a doubt heard.
Ring!
Before Tsuna can even react any more, the bell ringed once again and this time, another person came out of one of the seven rooms. This time, the person was a teenage male scientist with his green hair and glasses, wearing a lab coat and looking as if he wanted to just get away from here. At the moment, Tsuna gaped.
Ring!
Tsuna almost closed his eyes at the sheer bad luck that he was getting in the moment. As the bell rang once again, another person went out of the doors. It was a Chinese teenage male that without a doubt made the females in the room, aside from Uni, swoon. He gave a small, gentle smile as he took his place beside the scientist.
Ring!
This time, Tsuna was wishing with all his might that he can have a glimmer of good luck for his heart's sake. A roar of a motorbike was heard and entering the lobby, a helmet-wearing teenage male arrived. He took off his helmet as he went to a stop and stared at everyone.
Ring!
Tsuna was almost crying inside but he knew deep within his heart who the next one would be. Not failing him, the next person was a blond teenage male who gave a cheeky smile as he adjusted his military uniform and rifle.
Ring!
By this time, Tsuna was in a really, really anxious state. There could only be two options on who the next one would be but both are still devils. He just wished as he waited with bated breath that this one would be the lesser devil of the two.
The steps filled the entire place and as soon as Tsuna recognized the person, he gave a deep sigh. It was Lal Mirch, in her young adult glory. She looked at each of the students with a sharp look in her eyes before she took her place beside the blond.
There was silence before everything came back to Tsuna. Each and every Arcobaleno, aside from Lal Mirch who immediately went back to her adult form, were teenagers. Aside from Uni who was growing up at a normal rate, the other Arcobaleno grew up at a faster rate, though at the moment they were still teenagers. It was speculated that starting right now, they would return to growing up back into normal rate. Honestly, it was all so confusing.
Another ring shook the thoughts away from Tsuna's mind and Uni showered each of the people in the lobby with her radiant smile as she said, "Well then, let me introduce my co-curators here in this museum."
There were murmurs and cheers and evidently, Lal Mirch was twitching at the students.
"First up is the hooded male, ne, Viper-san, please take it off for the moment for the introductions." Uni said with a tiny pleading look as she gazed at the Mist Arcobaleno. There was a pause and she added, "And please, introduce yourself while you're at it."
"Mu, how troublesome." Mammon said as he walked forward to the curious crowd before he took of his hood, letting his boyish, attractive teenage face capture the hearts of the young girls who immediately swooned at the sight. Glazing his violet eyes on them boredly, he said, "My name is Mammon, only Uni and a select few can call me Viper. To whoever will be in my group, remember to be behave at all times or I'll fine you a million yen each."
Without taking notice of the students'surprised reactions, he went back to where he was situated and nodded at Uni.
Uni gave him a grateful smile before she motioned for the second person, another teenager who looked like some mad scientist. Looking at him, she said, "This scientist is Verde-san. Please introduce yourself, Verde-san."
"The Sky Arcobaleno... Tch." Mumbling to himself, he walked forward to sate Uni's demand. Clearing his throat he pointed at the students as he said in a loud voice, "Verde. Anyone who tries to do anything that isn't necessary will be my next laboratory experiment, keep that in mind."
A girl was about to ask what kind of experiment exactly but Verde answered before she can even ask, "I'll test how much voltage an ordinary human will be able to handle, that being said, my research assistant slash laboratory experiment will be placed in an electronic chair until-"
"That's enough introductions, then." Uni said midway with a sharp smile. The students, for their parts, were without any doubt, utterly shocked and terrified. Shaking her head with exasperation, Uni looked at the next in line and introduced once again, "The next one is Fon-san."
"Yes," Fon's voice was gentle as he agreed and made his way to the place where the introductions where being held. As most females swooned at his every step, he stopped and bowed as he introduced himself, "My name is Fon, let's all have a good time."
There were squeals from every female student and while Tsuna gaped, mentally, of course, Skull gave a small smirk, "Fon-senpai is doing it again."
Looking at the girls with a gentle expression and as if they hadn't just fell all over for him, he gave Uni a small smile and said, "I'm done." He then proceeded to where his place was, trying his best to politely avoid a female student who went after him.
"I'm next, right Uni?" The blond said before the girl can even tell him to introduce himself. He walked up to the place with casual paces and he smirked at everyone in sight. Looking at each of them with his bright, blue eyes, amusedly at the swooning little girls, he gave a small nod at Uni and then started, "The name's Colonello, kora."
He paused as he said his all so familiar catchphrase before he smirked again and continued, "Anyone who'll be with me shouldn't be weak, that's all, kora."
Everyone stared at him bug-eyed but he simply shrugged it off as he went back into his place, casually nodding at Lal Mirch as he went back to where he was. The said girl blushed a bit, her cheeks becoming tinted with pink before she simply turned her attention elsewhere.
"Well then," a low, masculine voice emanated from the helmet-wearing teenage male who had the guts to enter the lobby with a motorcycle. He paused dramatically before he took off his helmet and grinned widely, "It's Skull-sama's tur-"
"Shut up and just do it normally, servant." Colonello said in annoyance as he turned the direction of his rifle right at Skull. Lal Mirch was also glaring at Skull with irritation, her guns placed in her hand, ready for any shots. There was silence and Fon sighed before he simply let his narrow eyes fall on the youngest among them and said, "Just continue on then, Skull-kun."
"Heh," Skull somehow grinned proudly and nodded to himself, "Atleast Fon-sempai and Uni are nice, correction, are the only ones who are nice."
There was cold tension in the air and there were evident lightning that crackled near Verde. Mammon only looked at him with semi-glowing eyes and asked, "Mu?"
Uni sighed and sent other looks of appeasement before she told Skull, "Please go on, Skull-san. We don't want to run out of time."
At this, Skull nodded his head and then went back to where he was saying. He cleared his throat, "Call me Skull-sama. Anyone who wants to be in my group... Should not fear death."
The students gave surprised and terrified expressions but majority of the Arcobaleno in the sidelines only rolled their eyes but decided not to speak or comment about it, lest they take up too much time and anger Uni. Hell hath no wrath than the Sky Arcobaleno angered, after all.
"Hahaha," Uni only gave a small laugh at that as she gestured at Lal Mirch and said, "Lastly, we have Lal Mirch."
"Each of you!" Lal Mirch immediately shouted as soon as she took up her place. She gave each of them, even the Saint of the Sky, a narrow gaze and said, "Anyone who tries to misbehave and shows improper conduct will be punished."
Silence reigned once again. This time even longer than the previous ones. However, this was cut off when Colonello decided to snort at that. Lal Mirch glared at him but before any fights can start, Tsuna immediately asked, "So, Uni, how is the trip going to happen?"
"Ah," Uni nodded at Tsuna and took out a small tablet from somewhere, probably Arcobaleno powers. She scanned it for some time before she said, "There are seven doors here, as well as seven curators. The class would be divided into groups of seven with a curator each. Every group will enter a different door, we won't be going through every door because it would take up too much time."
"I see," Tsuna said with subconscious boss mode on. He looked at Uni and asked, "So how are we going to divide up the class?"
Uni gave her a smile, "Oh, you'll be the one to divide the class for us, Sawada-san."
Tsuna immediately felt the intensity of the stares from all seven of the Arcobaleno.
Oh Giotto.
Omake
"This is boring!" Skull immediately whined as soon as he heard the task at hand.
Colonello, for his part, simply sat and took over the couch and threw a pillow at Skull's head as he said, "Stop whining, servant."
As Skull let out a small cry, everyone else simply ignored him. Mammon looked at Uni from his hood and asked, "We are going to be payed for this, right, Uni?"
"I'm not really sure about that," Uni said with a small frown before she looked at the illusionist's direction and said, "But I'll negotiate with Uncle, after all, this almost seems like a mission."
"Oh but dear Uni," Fon sipped on his hot Chinese tea and he added, "this is a mission."
"Ah."
Before any more conversations can be heard, a loud crash was heard and Lal Mirch arrived in the secret room, kicking the door wide open.
Next to her was Verde who mumbled, "This is troublesome."
