The locker door flew away from its hinges, taking Russel with it. Chad emerged from the locker with fire in his eyes so intense that it stained his eyes red. His semblance revealed itself: his rage causing his inner demons to possess his body – carnivore, as he dubbed it. Jason sheathed Cobra's Fang and also walked slowly forward, fists at the ready.

Seeing what he was reading, Blake informed him that students weren't supposed to take books from the library, but that he was more than welcome to borrow her copy. As the minutes passed, they both noticed how they slowly got closer and closer to one another, and the distinct electricity between them. Shadow remembered Lucy from years ago and did not want to fail Blake as he once failed Lucy. Yet he felt himself leaning closer and closer...
