[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[Yuma strides up in his red uniform, the color of which does obfuscate some of the gashes on his own arms. And just in time, too, to catch her muttering.]

Are you referring to the creature on the other side of the window?

[praiseful]

[ She glances over— and then way up at the guy who's over a foot taller than she is. ]

...Yeah. So you saw it, too, then.

[isdf]

[Hello.]

Yes, it was on the verge of breaching the classroom when we left. Did this just happen for you?

[praiseful]

[ She covers her mouth as she stops to think. Then, after a beat— ]

The windows shattered and then I was... wrapped up. It went dark after that.

[ Then she woke up here, along with many many others. ]

[isdf]

[And she still wound up here . . . He brings a fist to his chin in contemplation.]

The timing is too close. Could there be multiple creatures . . . ?

[praiseful]

Or it could be one thing that splits off into multiples. Either way, it's not going to be able to pull that again if I can help it.

[isdf]

What do you intend to do?

[praiseful]

[ what any shonen character would, ]

I'm going to work hard and train hard to get even stronger!

[isdf]

. . . I see. Then you must believe the gap between you and this creature is reasonably short.

[praiseful]

It doesn't matter what the gap is. Short or long, I'll close it. As long as I'm alive.

[isdf]

[Despite the topic, he smiles.]

In that case, I would be interested in accompanying you for the task.

[praiseful]

[ She quirks a brow. ]

Oh? I don't normally work with others, you know! And what is it that you think you can contribute?

[isdf]

Greater results can be achieved together. As a soldier, my strength isn't what it used to be, so I would like to work toward closing that gap myself.

[praiseful]

[ An honest-to-god soldier..? He does seem built like one. ]

If you think you can keep up with me, old man, then fine. I'll let you train with me!

[ does not know he is a 12yo ]

[isdf]

[He chuckles. All right, then.]

I look forward to training with you. Assuming there is presently no way out of these grounds, I will arrange for a time and place.
