Fire Safety Drill! Not Thinking Isn't All That Safe!

Lotus sat next to Saiki in class.

"You know what Saiki I'm a little sad."

"Sad? About what?"

"I'm sad to see your buzzcut go. It was so short-lived."

Saiki gave Lotus a mini glare, and said girl just silently snickered to herself.

"Alright everyone listen up!" Hairo called out getting everyone's attention. "Today we're doing a safety drill!"

"Safety drill? Okay."

"Huh? Hairo's voice sounds so official, calm, and measured. I'm surprised."

Nendou scoffed. "I don't need a drill I'll be fine."

"Nendou, you need to take this seriously. Imagine this rooms on fire. White hot flames are everywhere. The smoke makes it impossible to see, let alone breathe." Hairo slammed his hands on Nendou's desk leaning in close to the boy. "So what then! Do you got an escape plan!? How will you know what decisions to make if you don't participate in this drill? Preparation is the key to survival!"

"Ah, there's the normal Hairo."

"He's as hot and smothering as a fire."

"Oh, good one Saiki. You know I really should start writing down the stuff you say."

Hairo stood up from Nendou's desk walking back over to the front of the classroom.

"So when the alarm goes off follow my lead, and we'll evacuate to the courtyard." Hairo picked up some chalk and started writing on the board. "Here's an easy way to remember the correct procedure for any emergency." He wrote the letters "SOS" on the board.

"What's SOS?" Nendou questioned

"Huh? This is something different. With the other schools I went to their motto for fires were duck, cover, and roll. So now I'm wondering what does SOS stand for?"

"If I remember correctly from grade school it means slow, orderly, and silence."

"Ah, makes sense."

"Oh, I know what it means!" Nendou exclaimed. "Save Our Selves. S.O.S."

"That's terrible."

"Yeah, that's the plan but it doesn't mean that," Hairo said

"Well how about, Someone! Over here! Save me!" Nendou shouted

"You're on your own pal."

Kaidou started chuckling at his desk. "Each of your guesses is dumber than the last one."

"Alright, do you know what it means smart guy?" Nendou said

"Of course I do. Obviously, it stands for Scorching Oblivion Smackdown!" Kaidou stated

The classroom grew silent everyone staring at Kaidou.

"Hah, I was just joking, it means Slow, Orderly, and Silent. Right," Kaidou said

"Whoa, that was actually pretty funny. Score one for Kaidou."

"Yeah, you got it. Now everyone just remember those simple rules, and we'll ace this drill." Hairo said

Just as he finished speaking the fire alarm started blaring.

"The first-floor science lab is on fire. Please evacuate." The PA system announced

"This is important. We should pay attention." Saiki cut his eyes to Nendou who was standing up not paying attention to Hairo.

"Stay calm everyone." Hairo held up an orange safety hood. "Open your bag and get your safety hood. After that stand in line by student number."

Lotus grabbed her hood examining it. "Neat. They didn't have anything like this in my old schools."

Several other students, mainly the male ones, seemed to be struggling with their safety hood. That's due to the fact that they didn't have theirs.

"Oh crap, I'm pretty sure I left my hood at home." One guy mumbled

That didn't go unheard, especially not by Hairo.

The fiery redhead, who had been wiping off the chalkboard, threw the eraser he was using in the air running over to the guy.

"Seriously?! If this was an actual fire obviously you'd be smoldering ashes!" Hairo shouted

"Don't be dramatic."

Teruhashi stood up from her locker, "Oh no I can't seem to find my safety hood."

"Oh come on! Not you too!" Hairo shouted

Teruhashi didn't have anything to worry about though. Within a matter of seconds, she was swarmed by several guys offering her their hoods. One even jumped over a desk to get to the girl.

"But if I take all of yours you'll die," Teruhashi said

"She's right! This is not a safe plan," Hairo said

The male students got smug confident looks on their faces.

"Sacrifice-"

"Ourselves to-"

"Save her!"

"Oh….okay," Hairo said sweat-dropping.

"~Saying nary a word. They'd Offer me theirs. They're my love Slaves….Tee-hee,~" Teruhashi thought

This time Lotus sweatdropped, "This class is ridiculous."

"You said it."

Everyone finally filed out of the room getting in line.

"Okay let's move out," Hairo announced

"Hold on I forgot my phone." Takahashi tried to get out of line.

"Stop there! Out of line is too dangerous! Stay in place!" Hairo said

"Everyone's trying way too hard to do SOS abbreviations now. It's all I'm hearing."

Lotus wasn't really paying any attention instead her focus was on Saiki, or rather his safety hood. His antenna were sticking out of the hood like they were an accessory apart of the hood itself.

"How in world did he do that?" Lotus pondered

"Stop it guys! Obviously, a fire drill isn't the time for Stupid arguments." Kaidou said

Hairo led his classmates through the hallways and downstairs.

"Okay, guys were almost there just-AAAAHHHHH!" Hairo shouted as he pointed forward. "Stop! Our path leading out! Shudders before us!"

The hallways had been blocked off by some metal shutters.

"Oh come on!"

"Seriously!"

"If this were real we'd be dead!"

Everyone starts complaining about their blocked exit. Nendou was just looking rather bored while Kaidou was having a mini panic attack.

"I guess someone locked it by mistake," Teruhashi voiced

"No, this route has been closed for good reason."

"Hey, isn't the science room on the other side of this shudder?"

"Yeah, in this drill the lab is on fire."

"Oh, I get it! If this were a real emergency we wouldn't be able to get through the hallways due to the fire in the science room."

"In other words, they're testing to see how well we paid attention and if we'd make the safer choice of using the back stairs."

"Which of course we didn't."

"Stay calm. Obviously. There's a Solution for this. Yes that's it I understand why they locked us in," Hairo said

"Well better late than never."

"They're testing our physical strength. Yeah, that's the only explanation! We don't have to send out an SOS when we can save ourselves. Which means in order to get out we have to break down that shutter!" Hairo declared

"Well Saiki, I guess in this case it's never."

"Alright!" Hairo held up a fire extinguisher. "Let's break it down, boys!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

All the boys followed Hairo's example picking up random objects attacking the shutter. The only male who didn't participate was Saiki.

"In a real fire, they'd be the first to die."

Much to Lotus's surprise, the guys were able to pry open the shutter door and the class made their way out of the school through the front door. Waiting for the class was Coach Matsuzaki who promptly gathered all of the boys in the class who had participated in the deconstruction of the shutter door.

"So...you wrenched open a metal shutter and ran out the front door. I see….why would you animals break our new shutter!" Matsuzaki started yelling at the boys, who all had been forced into a kneeling position before the angry teacher.

"We literally installed that thing last week losers! So what are you going to do you, idiots!? Shutters are expensive to fix!"

"We're sorry!" A distressed boy cried

"I tried to warn them."

"No, you didn't." Lotus giggled

"Well not directly, but still….anyway this school doesn't need to bother with emergency drills. After all…."

Lotus watched Saiki's eyes flash blue, and he snapped his fingers.

"So long as I'm here, Ordeals such as fires, Simply will not happen."

"I wanna point out he did the SOS thing too, but dang he just looks so cool right now."

Saiki's cool moment was interrupted when Coach Matsuzaki's voice shouted out in the background, "As punishment, you're all getting buzzcuts!"

"Yes, it returns!" Lotus cheered, "Saiki this time let me get a picture."

"Never."
