"So, about those kids you took in. Keep your eyes on them for me while I'm away, I will be doing further research on them in the meantime," An ominous voice spoke.
"Why does it have to be me?" The man asked tiredly.
"Because they trust you the most, believe me. You're their homeroom teacher, you should've expected this. I see it in their eyes that they're hiding something," The voice explained.
"Fine, I'll take the bait Terra. I'll do it…" The man muttered.
"Thank you, Shouta," Terra said before leaving the room.
"What have I gotten myself into? Whatever…" The man, now known as Shouta, mumbled to himself.
"Awwww! No fair! I was totally gonna win, you were cheating!" Austin yelled.
"I played fair and square! You're just jealous cause I won!" Alyssa screeched.
"My ears! Can y'all stop?!" Max shouted.
"No!" The two did in unison.
"What did you say to me you little bitch?" Max frowned, more than usual.
"Can you guys just stop?" Caleb questioned.
"Nah, it's fun to watch them be like this. Don't underestimate them when it comes to this. They don't stop until they want to…" Cai explained.
"Fine, fine. I'll leave them alone. But like, can't we go somewhere else?" Caleb asked.
"Sure, why not. I think the most available place is the side of the building. We can start doing things for the sports festival, too. Without hurting each other, of course," Cai said.
The two then opened the door and walked over to the side of the building. What are Ethan and David up to?
"You and your rhymes are so sloppy. You can't come here, so get off right off me. C'mon and stop your blatant mockery. If you had a keyblade, it'd be called 'josh swampy'!" David spat, looking smug.
"I want to love being alive. Loving it, living it, going around people gunning it. I just want to say no to people who feel like this. To people who feel worthless. Stand up, be proud. Scream it, shout it, say it loud. If I could give one word of advice, it would be 'everyone is as cool as ice'," Ethan finished.
Just right around there, the two showed up.
"Guys! That was sooo cool!" Caleb exclaimed.
"Yeah, what he said. Guys, do you want to join us in our preparations?" Cai questioned.
"Prep for what?" Ethan and David asked, looking puzzled.
"For the sports festival, of course!" Cai yelled.
"I mean. Sure, why not," David spoke.
"But, like. What specifically are we preparing, though?" Ethan asked.
"Uhhh, teamwork. Mostly quirks, but teamwork. Gotta prepare for the cavalry battle, am I right?" Caleb tried.
"Eh, let's do it then" Ethan muttered.
The four boys strolled further to the area they would practice in, until they were there.
"So, who's going first?" Caleb asked.
"Not me!" Cai and David shouted in unison.
"Well, you two are up!" Caleb exclaimed.
The two readied their fighting stances and...they stared at each other for a minute.
"Mcfricking go!" Ethan yelled.
David took the initiative and punched Cai in the arm, making it go pale. Cai chanced it and tried to control something, anything that could help him in this. David started to freeze and have erratic movements.
"What the hell did you do?!" David screeched.
"I don't know, I was just thinking about something to manipulate!"
"And you thought of doing it to me?!"
"I didn't want to manipulate you! I guess I'm manipulating your blood? Ugh," Cai said.
Cai released David and took a sharp object. He cut part of his palm, making the liquid seep out of it.
"What are you going to do?!" David yelled.
"I'm gonna do the best I can," Cai whispered.
The liquid went out and became sharp spikes. Cai threw the objects at David, making him quickly dodge. One of the spikes came from behind and latched onto David's leg. He tripped over. David sparkled his hands and lassoed Cai's torso.
"How the fuck?!" Cai shouted.
"Haha! I've been rejected by humanity, Cai!"
"W-What?"
"That was a reference, but nevermind! I've got you in my grasp!" David retorted.
Cai tried to wriggle out, with no evail.
'Hmmm,' Cai thought.
"Let's join in!" Caleb screeched as he flew into the battle and cut the lasso.
Ethan disappeared and reappeared into the battle behind Cai. He covered his mouth and did something unknown.
"Guys! I can't see!" Cai exclaimed.
"Are your eyes closed?!" Caleb yelled.
"Nope!" Cai responded.
Cai looked around, only to see darkness. His now milky white eyes looked anxious.
'I have an idea!' He thought.
His spikes went back into a blob of dark red before forming into a staff. He listened in and tried to find an opponent. He ended up stumbling around, actually falling on the last try to walk.
"Guys! Guys! Stop! Ethan, what the hell did you do to Cai?!" Caleb yelled.
"All I did was use my ability and it turned out like this. I guess I took one of his senses away," Ethan explained.
"Well, put it back!" Caleb exclaimed.
"Fine…" Ethan mumbled.
Cai started to blink as his vision slowly went back to it's shitty glory.
"Now, let's get back to the lounge. The others are waiting," Cai said as he got up.
"Caleb, can you help me? I kind of still can't see…" Cai asked.
"Oh, sure!" Caleb responded.
The two held hands as Caleb guided Cai and himself back to the dorms. The next day sure will be the most interesting yet.
