Chapter 50: Awakening

"…" Kazo and his other gang members commented staring in semi-shock. Shinji stepped over the downed upperclassman and walked to where the leader was holding the First Child. All were trying to process what just happened. They wondered how the younger male student was able to do that without much effort.

'Go get'em faker!' Shonji shouted out loud.

'…' Rana said with a deadpan expression looking at the blue-eyed voice. Turning her attention to the back of the male pilot, she clasped her hands together and waited anxiously.

"…" Asuka said with her jaw hanging and eyes widen.

"…he's fucked…" Toji and Kensuke muttered in fright for the male Eva pilot.

'This feels like what happened before,' Hikari thought to herself feeling like seeing a déjà vu moment. She silently prayed.

"…Ikari…" Ayanami breathed looking at him with surprised eyes. Something about how this situation was turning out reminded her of something similar.

"H-Hey! What the hell y'all starin' for!" Kazo stated looking at the others getting them out of their stupor. He pointed his finger in the male Eva pilot's direction.

"Get him!" he ordered. Turning his head forward, he saw that Shinji was in front of his finger. Before anyone moved, the Third Child grabbed the leader's pointer finger with his left hand. Closing his fingers around it with his thumb pushing on the tip, he swiftly pushed Kazo's finger back. Rei flinched from hearing the digit snap loudly.

"GAH!" the leader yelped. Letting go of Ayanami's shoulders, he dropped to his knees on the ground. His gang members again stared at what was happening in shock.

"…" Rei said seeing the Third Child look at her with a stoic expression in front of her.

"Greetings Miss Ayanami," Shinji said with a blink. "Excuse me."

Just when Kazo looked up with anger holding his broken finger, the male pilot threw a left frontal kick in his face hard. Everyone watching saw him go down and scream in pain about his nose as it started bleeding. The male pilot blinked then turned around walking to the center of the group.

"Holy shit!" Toji and Kensuke said continuing to watch the brawl.

'Go Ikari!' Hikari and Rana thought.

"…" Asuka and Rei said blinking watching what was happening.

"You piece of shit!" an upperclassmen shouted.

Coming from Shinji's left, he winded up a right punch and charged at him. Another one on the other side of him started doing the same thing. Turning to one charging him first, he waited. Dodging the punch to his left, the Third Child shoved a right palm strike into the upperclassman's Adam's apple. Turning around as the gang member choked and fell to his knees, Shinji took a fast side lunge to the right.

Avoiding the right punch, he brought his arms up in a boxer pose. Using the movement of getting into an offensive stance, he pushed hard off his right leg. Unleashing a vicious right hook to the gang member's jaw, everyone saw a knockout as the upperclassman fall to the ground out cold. The male pilot moved to be in front of Ayanami and turned to the remaining two gang members. They saw their member with the throat hit struggling to get up. The dark magenta eye male student blinked then slowly moved only his eyes at the one holding his neck. The Third Child's eye movement looked eerily.

"You are dead junior!" one upperclassman shouted and rushed forward.

Coming up quickly, Shinji slowly moved his eyes at the charging upperclassman. Feeling the evil voice bite his teeth down, it gave a gnawing fest sensation all over his body. The male pilot felt goosebumps rile up and down his body making him feel more focused. Shinji shifted to an aggressive stance quickly. Taking a small lunging side step forward, he unleashed a fierce lunging right side kick into the gang member's chest. Falling hard backwards to the ground, the upperclassman felt his world become hazy as he ached all over. He could have sworn his heart skipped a beat from the impact.

"Got you now dickhead!" the remaining one said about to spear him. He saw the male pilot stomp his right foot down while winding up his left hand back quickly. Just about to collide, Shinji torques his body and swung a downward punch. The fist impacted on the upperclassman's right temple hard. Falling to the ground and sliding to the male pilot's right, he was out cold. The six members of the gang were either out cold, in immense pain, or barely conscious.

'Yeah! Eat dirt, punks!' Shonj shouted with fist pumps.

'…' Rana said staring at Shinji. The growing interest now manifested to something greater. It made her feel wants, desires, and needs to be closer to him than before. Thinking what would be closer, physical contact and more came to mind. Instead of feeling embarrassed and shy, she felt tension inside of her.

"…he…" Asuka started to say continuing to stare with her jaw hanging.

"He cleaned them out," Toji and Kensuke stated with their jaws hanging.

'Oh my god! It is like what happened back then!' Hiraki thought smiling in excitement. What transpired reminded her feeling and sensation from being saved and rescued.

"…" Rei said watching the male pilot turn around.

His expression was the same as he walked to be in front of her. This turned out to be similar to when Shinji saved her in her room. It was from the time that the old man wanted to "play with her" when she was bare. During the aftermath of that past event, a sensation went through her. She didn't know what it was or what it meant then. Now, she could identify the sensations and a growing desire inside of herself and mind.

"Miss Ayanami, have you been harmed?" Shinji asked with a slow blink.

"…no…" she said trying to control the surge of the desire.

However, she took a step closer to him. A flashback of the activation accident of Eva-00 came to her. It was when the Commander came to her asking if she was okay. Being reminded of that memory, Ayanami thought it was the same as what happened now. Blinking, she looked at the male pilot's face carefully. Instead of the relieved look that the Commander gave when finding she was safe, the Third Child remained emotionless.

"That is good to hear," he said.

Feeling her insides tighten a little, only his eyes slowly moved to the right. Everyone saw a gang member slowly get up near the two. It was the one that got the palm strike in the throat. The Third Child turned to him and backhand fisted his face with his right hand. The upperclassman flopped to the ground and coughed harshly. His face looked in agony.

'…hEeHeEhEeHeE…p-l-e-a-ssssss-i-n-g!' the evil voice whispered with sadistic pleasure.

'Thank you sir,' Shinji said blinking feeling it fade away from his mind. Turning back to the First Child, she continued to look at him with a softer expression instead of her usual stoic.

"If you will excuse Miss Ayanami," he said with a small bow. Straightening back up, he turned toward where the Class Rep was behind a tree with Toji and Kensuke. He started walking toward her.

"…?" Rei said seeing him walk away.

Looking at where he was going, Toji, Kensuke, and Hikari were peering at them from behind a tree. Seeing her and him heading toward her direction, it felt like what happened in the classroom when lunch started. What she felt from then festered again; however his expression, the sight of his back, and him walking away made the emotion feel harsher. It made it harder to stop the sensations and desire from taking control. The emotion made her grip her skirt with both hands and her face to grimace a little. She took a step toward him.

'DO NOT GO TO HIM!' her second self stated loudly in her mind.

'…no…' she said in her mind taking more steps forward.

'HE WILL ONLY HURT YOU!'

'…Ikari…' she thought walking briskly filled with anxiety.

'STOP YOU STUPID CHILD!'

'…please…' Ayanami thought jogging at him with her arms reached out to him.

Closing the gap, she embraced him quickly from behind. The impact caused him to take a hop forward before stopping. Her left arm crossed his stomach while her right arm hugged upward across his chest. Resting her mouth on the area between left shoulder and neck, she closed her eyes. Pressing herself against his back, Rei felt her face warm a little. A feeling of relief washed over her as she breathed in his scent.

'Got to hurry!' Rana said sprinting from her spot faster than Shonj did. Not caring if the other voice shouted at her, she merged into his body to guard his facial expression, mind, and body movement. Shonji merged shortly after. Unable to take over his mind and movements, he took over his senses.

"…!?" everyone said staring in shock at what the "Ice Queen" just did.

"…" Shinji said feeling both Rana and Shonj merge into him.

Feeling the trembling from his limbs stop, he blinked and looked forward. He saw the expressions on the three students behind the tree look at him with surprise. Kensuke was still rolling with his camera. Both male students heard a soft sigh next to them and blinked out of their stupor. Turning to the Class Rep, they recoiled seeing her have a dreamy look on her face. Standing up, she walked toward the "rescue" scene.

'Hiraki!' Asuka thought seeing the Class Rep walk from behind the tree. She snapped out of her stupor seeing her friend fine and well. Immediately walking toward her, she did not care about what the First Child was doing to the male pilot.

"Greetings again Miss Horaki," the Third Child said bowing his head a little.

"Ikari. That was amazing!" Horaki said smiling at him with her arms curled up still feeling the rush.

"Thank you Miss Horaki," he said with a blink. Slowly moving his eyes left, he heard someone briskly walking toward them.

"Hikari!" Asuka said relieved and embraced the Class Rep. It threw her off guard.

"Asuka?!"

"Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?" the redhead said pulling back and look at her with a stern concerned face.

"What?" Hikari looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"

"Where did this idiot take you?" Asuka continued.

"Gosh Asuka," the Class Rep said taking a step back for space. She pointed in a direction. Everyone turned around and saw the corner of a building that had an overhead.

"Ikari and I were just eating lunch there and chatting about stuff. He didn't do anything," she said. Ayanami heard what freckled student said and felt the emotion push a little more inside her.

"…uh…" Kensuke said looking back at Shinji and Rei. He leaned his head back a little while pulling at Toji's jersey. "…Toji?"

"Yeah?" the jock said looking at him then followed his line of sight. His eyebrows went up and leaned his back as well.

"…" Asuka said frowning a little. Reluctantly, she looked back at the other two pilots. She recoiled a little with a surprised face.

"By the way Ayanami," Hikari said turning back toward the female Eva pilot. "Are you alri-!?"

"…?" Shinji said seeing that the others were looking at them with a wave of tension.

Strangely, Rei embraced him firmer while pushing herself more into his back. Her hands gripped his shirt in a way to restrict his movements. Despite that, his tremors didn't occur though Shonj was enjoying the contact greatly. What he didn't see was that she was glaring at all of them. The sunlight angle caused her crimson eyes to deepen the pigmentation to give it a bolder and scary impression.

"Miss Horaki," Shinji said calmly with a stoic face. "Was the process of saving Miss Ayanami adequate?"

"Saving?" Toji, Kensuke, and Asuka said out loud blinking.

'…saving?' Rei said blinking and lifting her head a little. Everyone seemed less on edge from her moving a little. It changed her expression to a curious look.

"Y-Yeah…I think so. But, I think you will be in trouble anyways," Hikari said rubbing her arms trying to get rid of the goosebumps that formed.

"What do you mean?" Toji asked as he and Kensuke stepped closer to them. "Both of you saw what was going to happen?"

"Yeah. Me and Ikari saw Rei head towards Kazo and his gang. I kind of panicked a little and told him to go save Ayanami. He bolted here while I tried to catch up."

"…" Rei said feeling her heartbeat increase from hearing what the Class Rep said. Letting go of him, she moved to be directly behind him. Placing her hands on his back, she placed her head down on his upper back.

'…he…came for me…' she thought feeling her cheeks redden a little. 'The Commander…did something similar…yet…this doesn't feel the same.'

"Hey! What happened here!?"

The group turned to see a school official that shouted in surprise. He was looking at the upperclassmen down and beaten up on the ground. A couple more staffers came as well. One immediately went to go call for an ambulance.

Turning to the group of students nearby, he started heading toward them. Shinji excused himself and gently moved away from Rei. He turned toward the staffer and walked toward him. Everyone turned to see that a small crowd of students had built up near the building corner. They were all whispering and looking at the male pilot. Hikari saw a slight movement to her left and looked at Ayanami. Rei went back to her normal expression then turned around to follow him.

'…I've seen that look in my manga!' the Class Rep thought with a surprise. Toji and Kensuke followed afterwards as Shinji stopped and bowed a little to the official. Hikari walked forward to catch up with the group that was forming in front of the school staffer.

"…" Asuka said looking at how the group centered a little around the Third Child.

Seeing that, it made her jealous of him for getting that attention. Not only that, but he would probably be rumored with a nickname for knocking out the infamous gang of the school. Staring at the back of his head, she felt her fingers grip her skirt. As she walked toward the group to add her witness testimonial, she bit the inside of her lip. A feeling inside of her rised a bit.

'…if…if he could stop being a psycho…' she thought joining the group as they were explaining what happened.

As more school staffers came and ushered the crowd of students to disperse, the one talking to the group of students involved sighed. Tell the others that they maybe called for witness testimony, the official escorted Shinji to administration. Along the way, the male pilot made a suggestion. After thinking about it, the official stated that probably would save someone a trip. They went somewhere else first before heading toward the administration building.

Lunchtime ended and all the students walked back to class. Kensuke and Toji got to the classroom first so they could watch the video recording again. Rei walked back to her seat and sat down. She stared out the window reflecting on what had happened, how she felt, what she did, and how she would proceed forward. Hearing two familiar voices, Ayanami glanced over to see Asuka and Hikari talking with each other.

"…" Rei said seeing that the Class Rep was holding onto Shinji's lunchbox. Watching her move to his desk, his backpack was not there. Seeing her walk back to her seat, she placed the bento box in her bag. Blinking, Ayanami turned back to the window. With one hand under her chin holding her head up, the other closed into a fist.

At NERV HQ, Misato was busy doing paperwork. For the past week or two, the amount seemed never ending. However, something recently happened that made it more along with other things to take care of. Sighing out loud and leaning back in her office chair, she stared at the ceiling.

'When will it end,' she thought then heard her cell phone ring. Pulling it out, she hit the talk button.

"Hello. Katsuragi speaking."

[Afternoon Miss Katsuragi. This is the Principal of Tokyo-3 Municipal High School. How are you today?]

"I'm fine," Misato said sitting up feeling a little more focused. "What can I do for you today?"

[I have called to inform you that Ikari was involved in a fight with students today.]

'…oh no…' she thought feeling her eyes go wide. 'No, no, no, no.'

"A fight?" she continued gulping and fearing what possible could have happened.

[Yes. He got in a brawl with upperclassmen.]

"I-I see…is he alright?"

[Yes. Ikari is relatively unharmed] the principal said over the phone though didn't sound impressed or disappointed.

'…oh please…' Misato said closing her eyes and getting out her necklace. She held onto the cross.

'Please, please, please don't say what I think.'

"…how…how are the upperclassmen?" she asked dreading as she heard the person grab what sounded like papers.

[The upperclassmen involved had to be escorted to the hospital for their injuries. One has a broken jaw…another has a dislocated shoulder…another with an injured chest…another with an injured throat…another with a black eye…and the last one has a broken finger and nose] the school leader stated making Misato sigh in relief to herself.

'Thank god no one died…but defeating six upperclassmen…that sounds like a possible gang,' Misato thought.

"I see. I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know why the fight happened?"

[I do. The upperclassmen are part of a delinquent group that has caused trouble in our school in previous years. Student Ayanami was unfortunately caught by the lead delinquent; however, student Ikari prevented them from sexually assaulting her.]

"Oh my," Misato said blinking in surprise. "Is she okay?"

[Student Ayanami stated that she was fine when school staffers checked with her. She wasn't assaulted, but had unwanted advances from the lead delinquent of the group.]

"I feel relieved to hear that. You make it sound like you were there watching it."

[Fortunately, a student was recording the whole event from the beginning to the end.]

'Definitely Shinji's friend with glasses…I'll have to invite his friends over to get the scoop,' Misato said feeling less dread and calmer.

"I see. That definitely helps clear up things."

[Yes it does. Despite student Ikari's good deed, he violated school policy and injured fellow students. In talking with him, he said he understands and accepts responsibility. Therefore, he will be suspended from school for three weeks.]

"What?!" Misato exclaimed standing up surprised and agitated. "Three weeks?! That's his reward for saving his female classmate from being possibly gang raped by six upperclassmen?! Are you for real!?"

[That…is what the school has decided] the principal said but was a little quieter.

"…" the lavender hair said forming a tight fist in her free hand instead of lashing out. Despite thinking about how messed up it was, she knew that it would be the same result if employees were fighting. It didn't matter if the altercation was for a good or stupid reason, rules and policies are enforced to keep people from going that route. She composed herself to be more professional.

"I understand," Misato said in a neutral tone. "Do you need me to go there to sign papers or something?"

[Normally we would ask parents or guardians to come pick up their student. However, he doesn't live with you if I understand correctly] the principal stated calmly.

"That's correct. He lives by himself."

[…I'm sorry…you said he lives by himself?]

"Yes."

[He doesn't live with his father?] school official stated confused.

"That's correct."

[…I see…] the principal said then heard muffling in the background. […given the nature of the circumstances, I will allow student Ikari to go home by himself. If, that is alright with you Miss Katsuragi]

"…" Misato said opening her mouth then stopped. Closing her mouth, she thought about telling the Commander. However, he was somewhere else in the world. She sighed through her nose.

"Yes. That is fine."

[Okay. Thank you for your time and understanding Miss Katsuragi.]

"Sure. Thanks for calling. Bye," she said and hanged up. Closing her cell phone and gently flopping it on her desk, she sat back down in her chair. Leaning back again, she rubbed her face and groaned.

"I can't believe it. School rules are stupid," she said leaning forward and putting her head on her desk. She started lifting her head up a little to gently hit the desk with her forehead.

'This "Info-Gave" operation hasn't been doing anyone any good…if anything, it is pushing Shinji further and further away from everyone. What relationships that were formed with him are burning away. Asuka won't talk with him anymore or anywhere…Ritsuko is scared of him…the bridge crew avoid him…the police guys have been busy...hell, I'm scared of him,' she thought continuing to head butt her desk softly.

'Rei seems to be the one that tries. That is some devotion to the Commander to follow his orders. However, she hasn't talked to him recently either…and now, he saves her from being taken advantage or more…by their seniors at school…I so want to see that video,' Misato thought lifting her head up.

"Argh! Why are things so difficult!?" she exasperated scratching her head. Looking up at the time, she marked when she would need to leave to go see her two wards.

During the last break before the final period, the teacher was informed of the circumstances regarding Ikari. Surprised at first, he calmed down. Going toward the Class Rep, he told her of the news and to make homework packages. He saw her look disappointed and told her that it could have been worse. Nodding, the last period started.

"Stand up. Bow. Dismissed," Hiraki voiced loud enough for everyone to hear after the bell sounded. As students began walking out of the classroom, she started gathering herself thinking about what the teacher told her. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear Asuka.

"Heellllooo Hikari," Asuka said with her hands on her hips.

"Wha?" the Class Rep said then looked neutral at her. "What's up?"

"Why are you moody all the sudden?"

"…Its about Ikari…" she started not noticing three people were close enough to hear her. "…his suspended for three weeks."

"…!?" Asuka said with surprise.

"What?" Kensuke said shocked.

"Three freakin' weeks!? You gotta be shitting me!?" Toji said instantly irritated.

"…!?" Rei said stopping and looking at the Class Rep with surprise.

"Despite what he did, he broke school rules and policies. Not only did he fight, but he severely injured the upperclassmen. School admin stated the due to the circumstances and that this was Ikari's first offense, suspension was their punishment instead of something more."

"How do you like that?" Toji said crossing his arms over his chest. "Saves a girl from Kazo's gang and gets rewarded like this."

"Yeah," Kensuke said adjusting his glasses. "But anyone who gets into a fight gets punished if punches are thrown."

"…" Toji frowned remembering when he got suspended in the past.

"…" Asuka kept a neutral face preventing herself from reacting similar. She felt sour at the judgment.

"…" Rei said looking down at the ground. Immediately turning toward the classroom door, she left lost in her thoughts.

'…fighting is a violation of school policies and rules…resulting in suspension…they are established to keep order and keep everyone safe,' she thought going down the steps.

'…it is school law…but,' she thought putting a hand on her chest reaching the bottom steps and walking forward. '…it makes my chest tense…and I feel irritated…why?'

'It isn't because Ikari's judgment is not sound…no, he violated the rules…yet…the punishment seems unfair…I don't understand,' she thought continuing forward not noticing a familiar individual that was leaning against the school gate.

"Hi Rei!" Misato stated seeing her look up a little startled. "Are you okay?"

"…yes Captain," Rei said after composing herself. "How are you?"

"I'm good," she said getting in front of her and looking around the female pilot. "I'm glad to see you are okay. I heard about what happened when the school called."

"…" Ayanami said blinking. "I see."

"Misato?" Asuka said as she and Hikari were walking toward them. "What are you doing here?"

"Hi Asuka! I was able to get off work earlier and thought of picking you girls up."

"…you didn't skip work did you?" the Second Child said with a smirk.

"Mmmmmm," Misato said giving a tight smile. "Why no, of course not!"

"Miss Misato!" Toji said smiling from a distance as he and Kensuke jogged over to the group around the lavender woman.

"Hey guys!" she said smiling at them and saw the person she wanted to talk to. "How's it going?"

"Good good. You missed an awesome brawl starrin' Shin-man."

"I heard from the school. I also heard that a student recorded the whole thing too," Misato said smiling at them.

"Yeah! I was able to get all on my cam," Kensuke stated a little excited. Both stooges saw Misato bend forward a little and placed her hands on her thighs.

"Really? Can I take a look-see at it?" she said flashing her male-killer smile and giving a playful wink.

"…" Toji said staring and automatically grabbed his friend's bag to hold it at stomach level between them.

"…" Aida said unzipping his bag and reaching in to grab his video recorder.

"Sure!" both said as the bespectacled student opened the viewing screen and turned it around. Misato saw it was at a place where the fighting seemed to begin.

"Thanks guys!" she said grabbing the cam recorder. Feeling a slight breeze, Misato moved strains of hair over her shoulder as the rest of her hair seemed to swish to her right. A dreamy look came over the stooges as they stared at the lavender beauty seemingly modeling in front of them.

'…boys…' both Asuka and Hikari thought looking at both of them with deadpan faces.

"…?" Rei said tilting her head a little at everyone's behavior. The teenagers heard the vocal sounds of the video and watched Misato's face. When it came to the start of the fight, her behavior surprised them.

"Gah! Brutal!" she said with vigor seeing Shinji stomp the first upperclassman's shoulder. Seeing the Third Child move toward the where the leader held Rei, Kazo pointed and made an order. That's when Shinji grabbed his finger...

"Eeeeee!" she said grimacing seeing the leader go down on his knees. That's when things changed to a beat down.

"Oh yeah!" Misato said enthralled giving a fist pump after seeing the leader get a foot in the face. "Right in your face!"

"Ooooo!" she said reaching at her neck then saw the wind up for the next upperclassman. The teens saw her shake her fist in the other hand.

"Knock him out! Knock him-awwwweee nice!" Misato said with an engrossed face at the screen.

"…?" both Asuka and Hikari blinked at her still in surprise. They looked over at the two stooges and saw they still had the dreamy look on their face.

"Oooh ho ho ho. Daaammmnnn," Misato said holding her chest watching the one that got side kicked in the chest drop backwards hard.

"Oh no look out!" she said a little worried then saw what happened when the last member tried to spear. "Ha! Lights out sucka!"

'…oh my…' Misato thought smiling a little seeing Shinji turned to face Rei. '…this looks so cliché…but it's those two…THIS IS TEASING MATERIAL!'

"…" she said seeing one of the upperclassmen struggling to get up. She saw the Third Child turn to him and back fisted him.

"Gah! Right in the kisser!" Misato said putting her hand on her cheek.

"Kensuke," Toji whispered.

"Yes my friend," Kensuke whispered back.

"I have found my ideal woman."

"Mmm-hmm."

'…no way…' Misato thought seeing Shinji walk toward the camera. But it was the expression on Rei's face and her slowly walking forward.

'Go!...Go!...Go!' she thought cheering at the sight of the First Child going into a jog before embracing him from behind. Seeing how the female pilot wrapped her arms around him and placed her head on his shoulder was a nail in the coffin. Taking a quick glance at Ayanami, she was looking at the ground and had a little red on her cheeks.

'What Ritsuko was wondering about her was true,' Misato thought smiling brightly feeling better.

"Thanks guys. That was awesome!" she said smiling at them. She handed back the cam recorder which Aida got out of his stupor. Retrieving it and holding onto to it, he noticed something on her jacket. He immediately bowed to her.

"Congratulations on your promotion Major!"

"…!?" everyone said blinking and looking at Misato.

"Oh," she said looking at the pendant on her jacket collar. "Guess you would notice."

"You got promoted?" Asuka asked. "When?"

"Just when the Commander left for his trip."

"Congratulations," Hikari said.

"Thanks," Misato said with a small smile scratching her head. "Anyway, let's go home girls."

"Alright. See you tomorrow," Asuka said waving at the Class Rep before turning around following the Major. Rei turned around as well and began to walk behind them.

"Ayanami," Hikari said walking forward. The First Child stopped and turned around.

"Yes?" she said with an impassive expression. She watched as the Class Rep reached into her bag and got out Shinji's lunchbox.

"Could you deliver this Ikari? You'll probably meet up with him at work sooner than I can give it to him," Hikari said extending it to Ayanami.

"…?" Rei said looking at the bento box and blinking. Slowly reaching out, she grasped it and pulled it to herself. Feeling a sense of relief, she looked up feeling her face less tense.

"Yes…I can," the female Eva pilot said looking back at the Class Rep. Suddenly, the Angel alarm started blaring everywhere.

"Hurry up Rei!" Misato called causing the First Child to turn then stopped. She looked back at her.

"…bye Horaki," the blue-haired teen said quietly before turning and quickly heading toward the Major's car.

"…?!" the three remaining students said surprised. They snapped out of it and started heading to a nearby shelter. Heading toward the place, Toji stated about something. Kensuke brightened and nodded his head. Hikari heard her name and looked at them while they were jogging. After they explained their idea and pleading with her, the Class Rep was reluctant at first then agreed.
