A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.
Full Story Here.

Leon listened to her explanation before he decided to chime in.
"I was wondering why you hadn't moved up honestly."
She joined the pillars for a different reason than Leon, though his was partially because he believed strong people belonged in a position to help the weak. He had no real intentions of going after a title again ever since Edgar's school wide tournament knocked Saya from the running. Leon wanted to show her how strong he had become, but had come to terms with her vanishing.
"Aren't you helping the school? What you want to be doing?"
Leon was honestly curious as to why she said she didn't know what she was doing now. Seemed to Leon she had doubt, or had lost her way somehow. If so, she needed to refocus much more than on the now, but her goals.

Notes --- |
“Well… to be honest I never really paid much attention to the ranks. I just wanted to be a Pillar and that was all,” she shrugged her shoulders slightly, “Dunno if I could moved up even if I tried, anyway.”
Being thought of as the weakest Pillar had never seemed like such a bad thing either. Some people didn’t put much stock in her, or really any faith in her combat prowess at all. Which was fine… some people who’d come to challenge her seemed to have expected a lot less from her than what they actually got.
One thing she didn’t mention to Leon was the fact lately she’d considered forfeiting her position. She couldn’t stand the constant resentment and hypocrisy she saw daily thanks to it, and she no longer even had any faith her group had her back. She never saw Lex and Shugo anymore, and as far as she knew Macht couldn't stand her. In the long run, being a Pillar just wasn't what she thought it would be.
“I try,” she replied, “I mean a break up fights a lot… but guess what? I do it by beating the main instigators senseless. Doesn’t seem right does it? And I’ve been trying my best to fight back against threats like Riot and Orochi but…”
She paused a moment and pinched the bridge of her nose for a moment in frustration.
“Nothing—I do—fuck'n—works—” she seemed to be starting to bristle with anger at this point.
“I’ve tried to tell myself I don’t care—but I do care. I care so much I feel like I could bleed from the pain of it—”
The violet haired girl stopped herself short, realizing she was going off the deep end. She was not gonna fly into a fit in the middle of school. Nope. So she fell silent and glared at the ground for a moment as she regained her bearings.

Leon listened and as she spoke his smile would fade. She was succumbing to the hostility of the position. She didn't understand the actual reason for pillars.
"Vivi... There is so much more to it than what you have seen."
Leon hoped she would look at him, if not he would speak, but his face was full of concern.
"You are part of a system put in place that was created to be challenged, a focus for students who are violent, an outlet, a goal. Teachers are outnumbered and in constant danger, and the city is infested with gangs and other dangers. You are the shield between all that and the students. You protect the teachers, the students and the system. Sure your day to day is to break up fights and beat down the instigators who wish to continue beyond words. But your main job is to investigate and find the major players who would flip this school into chaos. You are the target that everyone sees. It is not an easy nor rewarding undertaking unless you can find the meaning for yourself."
Leon let that sit before he spoke once more, sighing and looking down for a moment.
"However, if you can't find meaning in that and you still want to help the school, have you considered the other factions?"

Vivi listened intently. Not to say she was a bad listener, she listened carefully to what most had to say to her, but she didn’t usually seem to be taking it to heart when she did so. This time though… she seemed to really be soaking up what he was saying. Of course, she was aware that she couldn’t just trust anyone she ran into but what he was saying… it made sense. It really did. Had she really not been getting this the whole time she’d been a Pillar?
“I can see the meaning in that. Definitely. It seems kind of fitting for me, actually. A way I could redeem myself,” she spoke somewhat slowly, but seemed to stop and think when he mentioned factions.
“Like gangs? Yeah, I’ve considered joining a group aside from the Pillars, but I’m not sure what’s right for me at the moment. I guess I’m the type who just does what’s right in my own eyes, so... if I joined a gang I’d probably really piss of their leader. Or just seem pretty useless. Not sure.”
Those were all true, but she also didn’t like feeling trapped. Having been in a gang only once before, she had felt completely and utterly trapped and was slow to consider ever joining another after that. Yeah, the Pillars were technically a gang but she didn’t really get the same vibe from it, and got to be mostly independent. The Head Master had never directly ordered her to do anything, and neither had any of the higher up Pillars, so for now she felt free. Or free as one could in a school like this…

Leon would listen as she gave her opinion on gangs, though Leon legitimately meant factions. However she wasn't far off base either. She was a good pillar, and hopefully Leon had helped adjust her mind set about what that meant. Though the part about redemption... That really felt like the same thing Leon wanted with this. However, Yun's death... Hollows parents murder... It seemed like the past was trying to recreate itself in some sick carnival of horror.
"Well if someone recruited you, without finding out how independent you were, it's on them."
Leon would comment trying to break out from his own thoughts now, before shifting on his feet and leaning back, looking up and taking a deep breath. His chest finally subsiding from the pulsing pain.
"I hope we can talk again like this sometime. Can I get your number?"
The blue hues would fall on Vivi once again as he reached into his vest to grab his phone.

“Well if someone recruited you, without finding out how independent you are, that’s on them.”
Vivi’s eye brows turned up for a brief moment. The guy was pretty cool… he seemed to speak from the heart, and the thing’s he said really made sense to her. He had a way of looking at things that made them seem very different. In a good way, so far.
“Yeah. But honestly, if I joined a group I’d probably need to look past myself and my own interests. …Maybe be selfless for once in my life.”
Vivi had an image she put forth. Part of that was coming across as extremely selfish, only looking out for her own needs in attempt to seem stronger… but she wasn’t very good at it. The very fact that she had such a passion for protecting the school and her friends was a contradiction in and of it’s self, but if anyone pointed that out, she’d only tell them she was doing it for herself. And… in a way she was.
“Yeah! It’s been a good talk,” she replied, “You kinda helped me see things in a new light. I needed that so… thanks.”
She’d proceed to recite her number to him so he could put it down in his phone, and if he did the same for her, she’d take her phone from her pocket to enter his.

Leon would raise an eye brow on her comment about being selfless... So far Leon had seen she was selfless... She put up a good front maybe, but she wasn't hiding it very well. Maybe it was just the oddity of the comfort level of the conversation, Leon entered the number wiping some of the blood from his chin as he would tell her his number.
"You've intrigued me, Vivi. One day we will have to fight for real, and the next time I promise to be a worthy opponent."
Leon would speak about the fight with a huge half grin, his eyes widening a bit. The thought of a true battle causing the warrior senses running through his blood to quicken his heart rate. Though he contained it well enough. He'd have to enter the cage today to work this off since Vivi wasn't in a fighting mood. Also the cage was a great alternative... before he would of snapped by now and attacked some class room somewhere just to fight. The Tyrant within, his own redemption. He wondered if Vivi was similar if only a little.
"If you have any problems with the Lightning Gang's activities talk to me about it."

The corner of Vivi’s mouth quirked upward and she raised her eye brows at him.
“Yeah, we’ll have to do that,” she nodded, “I’ll be ready next time though. You can show me what you’ve got.”
Man, the guy looked excited. He must’ve been mildly obsessed with fighting… or maybe not even mildly. He had attacked her out of nowhere, seemed to enjoy what little of a bout they had, and STILL seemed happy when he got punched several yards and had blood coming out of his mouth and nose. In essence… this guy was somethn’ else.
“And I will. Is your gang pretty big, by the way? If it is I might’ve ran into some of your members before with out even knowing it,” she chuckled, “I’ve heard murmuring about your group, though. Seems like it’s making an impact."

Leon would fold his arms at her comment about LG's size and the murmurs so far. Leon was proud at least so far. Coming back from being one of the biggest original gangs of 552, to a bunch of has beens. Now on the rise again and the most active gang in the school so far. They were making a splash, he wasn't sure if they were making an impact, but Leon had many plans.
"So far we are decently large. It's mostly due to the amount of students we've taken into protection over how many I would consider part of the actual gang."
Leon would look away towards the school.
"We are about bonds... Building them, relying on them, supporting them. But with how long we've been at war with RIOT... Since before your time even. They've killed a few of us, raped others... I don't recruit without warning people about it."

Vivi nodded as she listened to him speak.
“Sounds like a good group,” she smiled slightly, “I like what you guys stand for. Doesn’t seem like a waste of time like so many other gangs. Yours has meaning, huh?”
At the mention of Riot she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. That group… as well as Orochi had caused a lot of pain to the students here, and no doubt to people outside of the school as well. It seemed like Leon had personally known people who suffered at their hands, which she imagined would probably ignite an ever more fiery passion to end them.
At this point the only suffering they’d personally caused her came when she tried to fought them. She still remembered it so clearly. She was new to the school, only there a little while when they caused the massacre in the courtyard. She’d had the balls to run straight up to Mikey and try to fight him, despite having a sliver of the strength she had now. Of course, she’d gotten brutally injured. And then when Kaiser tried to attack the MV-Phoenix she’d gotten a nasty scar across her stomach. And now even more recently she’d been hospitalized by one of the Elite she’d never seen before. All this and yet, she still was willing to side with them to end Orochi. Because of Valo. Without him she probably wouldn’t have even considered it.
“I’m sorry to hear that,” she replied.
The girl didn’t show much, but Leon might’ve picked up on how her eyes seemed to take on a hint of sadness, and her voice was a tad softer.
“Those bastards have done some pretty nasty stuff to this school and it’s students. ‘Guess we can only fight our hardest to stop them. It seems kind of impossible, but that’s what’s so cool about some of the people I’ve met here. Even with scarily low odds of success, they still hope.”

Leon pondered for a while before replying this time. Noting the... Concern in her eyes? Maybe. It was accepted either way, Leon listened about her thoughts, kind of political, but he understood why. She didn't want to play a chord on that guitar.
"Well it wasn't a popular decision to join forces with RIOT even if temporarily to bring down Orochi..."
Leon admitted, though he knew without the support of every other faction fighting both groups would not work out. So they had to accept that choice and march with them, it was a fiery topic for LG. Worse now since they returned.
"Yeah, and that beautiful hope is fragile still."

“I don’t imagine it was,” she sighed, “But it seems necessary. I don’t think a bunch of delinquents can take them down on their own.”
She paused for a moment.
“Well, maybe I’m lack’n faith,” she said, “I mean… some of these delinquents can punch through walls, run quick as a speeding car, and even have super powers.”
She paused once again and scratched her head.
“But uh… so does Orochi. Dammit!”
The odds were really bad. They always were. It’d been months and she still couldn't see much of a light at the end of the tunnel, but she still chased it with all the strength she could muster. She had to.
“Faith is definitely fragile, but also powerful. We’ve gotta use it as best we can, yeah?”

She had good points as she spoke. The students here were getting stupid powerful, to the point of making a difference on a wide scale. To the point they could be viewed as a thread to public safety. Leon couldn't worry about that right now though, too much shit going on right now.
"Yeah."
Leon would nod shifting his weight to his right foot.
"Keep that faith Vivi."
Leon would turn and begin to walk away.
"I have a meeting to run so I gotta go."
Leon would take a few steps stop and turn to look at Vivi, a stern look on his face.
"Anything I do, is to restore the balance of the hierarchy."
A friendly warning as he left.

Of course Vivi would do her best to keep her faith. She’d been making a point of it the past few years. But life seemed to be deliberately throwing things in her path that made her doubt the stuff’s existence. Around twelve years old, she was sure it was some sort of crutch people had just invented to keep themselves going through the hard times, but it only helped them mentally. Never did anything in the long run. But… in recent years she tried to, well. Have a little more faith in faith.
The girl stood still as he turned to walk away, her violet hair moving listlessly in the slight breeze. He’d appeared quickly and now he was going just as fast. But it made sense, being a gang leader and all. She imagined he was a good one. His words stirred up inspiration, something excellent leaders needed to be able to do. They’d even stirred up a bit of inspiration with her, which was surprising. Motivational speeches and words of encouragement usually fell flat with her, like throwing riches into a restless ocean. They’d only sink. But now, even if it was only slight, her motivation to be a Pillar was somewhat rekindled.
Leon turned around with a dark look on his face, and this time his words set her on edge.
…Was that a threat? Vivi found herself slowly folding her arms and furrowing her brow.
“Duly noted...”
Yeah, he had his own goals, and things he’d do was for the sake of the hierarchy, but... if he crossed her one way or another or decided to go down the same path as Riot or Orochi with his gang, she wouldn’t take kindly to that.
“ ‘Later.”
With that, Vivi turned on her heels and headed her own way.
