If you look here at example A…"

In the back of class, Aru leaned left, towards a student wearing a bag over her head. "This new Sensei looks really out of it. What do you think happened to him?" pointing to Xavier, specifically his arm cast and bandage on his cheek. Dark circles from lack of sleep gave him an ill appearance and he often slurred his words in his speeches.

The bagged student shrugged and Aru leaned right, towards her terrorist companion. "Mutsuki, did you hear any rumors about what happened to Sensei?"

She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "I don't fuckin' know."

"Aru!"

"Ah!" Aru stood up and bowed repeatedly. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Xavier just stared at her lazily and turned back toward the chalkboard. "Don't talk while I'm teaching," he said bluntly.

"Ughh…" She melted back into her seat knowing today was going to be long and harsh.

As long as she was arm in arm with the bagged girl she had nothing to fear. Walking gleefully down the hall. She was fearsome and notorious for being a Trinity transfer to Gehenna and the only one to do so. Full of hope and convictions despite being the sole survivor in the battle against Arius Squad. Her speech that sung to them and averted a conflict without violence. She wore a black version of the Tea Party's uniform and two belts around the double buttons on the high waist skirt. Feathers layered the sides of the skirt to mimic Nagisa's wings, and instead of the capelet covering her shoulders, she wore a long white coat. Saori's coat if the rumors Aru heard were correct.

"Sorry for embarrassing you like that, Faust." Aru whined to the girl she followed.

"Nothing I haven't gotten used to before." Faust reassured. "I feel more embarrassed for our teacher. He looked like a wreck—"

"Hey you!"

Faceless grunt one without two got in their way. Gehenna's bullies were no joke when it came to their bullying. Immediately she pulled a knife on them. "I bet you think you're so cool. Do you think you're better than us because you're covering that ugly face of yours?"

"..." Faust didn't flinch while Aru hid behind her trembling.

"Answer me trinistupid! Oooh I'm so sick of you pretend angels after everything you've done. Do something more!" The student pushed Faust over and over towards the wall. She paused again waiting for a reaction from Faust but nothing.

"That's my friend you're hurting!"

"Shut up!" The student barked. "She's a Trinity spy I'm sure of it! What do you have to say to that, Faust? Maybe this will make you speak." She ran the knife on the front of her uniform cutting open a front slit where her cleavage could be seen by all. Under the bag her face twisted in disgust at being defiled this way.

Thankfully she wouldn't have to send another uniform to be tailored. Mutsuki stepped in, grabbing the student's arm tightly and a crack sound from the wrist. "Didn't I tell you not to mess with my club?"

"Eee! I'm s-sorry! Sorry!"

"That's right punk, scram!" Mutsuki kicked her rear as she ran.

Aru hugged her small friend who had always had their backs when they were put in between a rock and a hard place. Like a tsundere Mutsuki would nudge her off, playfully that is. "Save the huggy wuggies for when we're in private. I told you Gehenna doesn't roll like that." She turned to Faust. "And you. When are you going to get rid of the stupid bag gimmick?"

Faust coolly put her hand in her coat pocket. "When I succeeded in bringing understanding and unity. I can't show my face to Nagisa-san until all this pain and suffering comes to an end."

Mutsuki sighed and shook her head. "And what if it can't be done?"

"I'm a bit stubborn. I'm not going to give up because I don't want to." Faust smiled under her bag. "Nagisa-san is ordinary and scared so I have to be weird and special and a bunch of other things she can't."

"Hm…" Mutsuki smirked. "As long as you don't lose sight of it, I'll follow you. And keep your promise to save Haruka or else I'll kill you."

"Alright! Problem Solvers 68, let's return to HQ!"


"Please join the sabotage club. Please join the sabotage club." Xavier unenthusiastically waved cheaply made fliers around on Gehenna's campus. Joined by Mine, he tried recruiting more capable members to join his mission. At least one would be good enough to replace Serina's spot.

Xavier groaned and dropped his arms. "Agh… I'm really sorry, Mine."

"You said that five times today. And I forgive you every time." It was hard to tell if she was calm or secretly angry under her cool exterior. A nurse always had to be in control of their emotions no matter the circumstance. She was a damn good nurse too but Xavier didn't get to witness her miracles, passing out alongside Serina in bed. It'd be another day until his arm fully recovered which was a testament to her skill. It was already starting to feel better already.

"Stand up straight. Don't leave your arms weighted like that, you'll strain them."

She took the effort of personally training Xavier's physicality so he could be more prepared in battles and if he needed to defend himself. A personal trainer. Xavier couldn't complain since Arona was right calling him wimpy and frail bodied.

He stood up straight. "Hey Mine. What name sounds better to you, Sariel or Raquel?"

Mine raised an eyebrow. "What's the occasion? A name for a pet?"

"Well… You could say that."

Mine stroked her chin. "Both names sound beautiful to me. It's difficult to choose." she paused briefly. "I suppose… Sariel sounds better to the ear."

"Alright. Thanks, Mine." Xavier managed to smile.

"Hey, excuse me."

Two students; one wearing a gas mask with white hair in fluffy twintails and another with tall fox ears and a wagging tail. Xavier almost had a hard time discerning Azusa as the mask and different uniform gave a dramatically different appearance. Izuna looked the same as ever thankfully.

"Are you advertising a club here? May I ask what kind of club it is." She asked.

"Xavier showed the flier. "It's the sabotage club. We aim to solve phenomena in the world."

"Sabotage? Ohh that sounds so awesome it's like being a ninja but with explosions and stuff." Izuna's loud voice made Azusa flinch.

"What the?! I didn't even hear her footsteps behind me?!"

"It is, you should join. We're desperate for members and there's hundreds of new problems popping up every day."

Azusa cleared her throat. "What kind of problems specifically do you solve?"

Xavier furrowed his brow. "World threatening ones. The Eden treaty was just the beginning of it all. I have to stop something from occurring or else…"

Azusa nodded slowly. "I see. I am already in a club, however I can recommend people to you."

"The club's schedule won't interfere with your own. Think of it as a part time job. Most of our work is investigatory so you won't be called upon until we get a clue and a hit." Mine explained it better than he could. Izuna insisted Azusa join along and she ended up being the deciding factor for her recruitment. Xavier returned to his office happy he didn't return empty handed this time.

Schale office.
Izuna remarked how she loved exploring the scenery and wanted to visit inside but was never invited to. It raised eyebrows but Xavier wouldn't think further about it. He dropped himself in his chair and scooted over to another chair to pull over for Azusa.

She carried a princess-like demeanor, brushing down her skirt before sitting. She took her gas mask off to show her pearly white skin and smooth face. Her lavender eyes sparkled so pretty. What was her deal looking so cute?

Xavier leaned forward. "I wanna ask you again. Are you sure you want to join? You'll likely get hurt in battle and by the truth we find out."

Azusa nodded repeatedly. "Yes I'm prepared."

Izuna added. "So am I! I heard stuff like the rumors about Rio preparing for something big!"

Of course a ninja like her would have a hint of what was going on. And so he elaborated on that rumor. Not exactly knowing Rio Sensei's full plan but knowing that him getting Alice and her massive cannon wasn't good. He likely was planning to destroy something, the question was what was that something.

Xavier also wanted a rematch and fast. All he could think about was heading directly to Millennium tower right after recruiting two new students. Not like that was going to help him any if they weren't prepared to fight Noa or the other students in that school.

"You aren't thinking sabotage."

"Huh?" Rin had said the same thing and he took it as an insult at face value.

Izuna's ears rose. "You can't sabotage anything going head first into danger. You gotta be like a ninja and strike at vital points before going all out." She made karate chop motions during her explanation.

"I have to agree. You are being too rash with your decisions." Mine interjected with her personal thoughts and Xavier felt the same. He had to remember that Seminar wasn't his only opposition. Vertias and C&C were on Rio's side as well. Students well versed with a plethora of abilities while all Xavier had were nurses. Extremely useful nurses but not something that could beat expert hacking or maids. Izuna and Azusa alone wouldn't be able to take on all of C&C as well.

However, Azusa knew a couple of terrorist friends, students perfect for hit and run jobs. Students that could y'know, sabotage Vertias' tech so they could sneak in undetected, or mail a bomb to C&C. She raised her hand. "Do you mind if I make a call?"

"Um. Nya-hello..?" Azusa said meekly.

Mutsuki felt part of her die inside and mouthed 'oh shit' then scrambled across the room dragging the desk phone with. Tossing the phone in Faust's hands she stammered. "I-it's kazoosa!"

Faust gasped then put the phone to her ear dragging the desk phone even further in their hidden HQ, knocking over decorations set on the table between the couch and office desk. "Azusa!"

"Yes it's me! But this is important. I need the Problem Solver's help."

"Yes, Tell me everything, Azusa. We'll help you with anything!"
