Self-Defense Lessons[[Open]]

Luna was familiar with the pillars. Not personally, but she at least knew who they were (after all, it was impossible to not know after a month of being at this place). She scratched the back of her head in an unladylike manner as she walked into the school's own gymnasium- she didn't know what sort of reputation the first pillar really had so it was hard to estimate what sort of turn-up there would be.

Let's see... She would mumble to herself, taking the time to look around the entire hall. 5 other people here so far who look like they're taking part- oh no. Let's make that 6 so far. She continued as she spotted Wendy hiding under the bleachers. She was glad she knew a handful of people here. Mizu, Zoe, Wendy, and she was also vaguely familiar with the albino guy too. Not that they have had a personal conversation yet. Reminder not to eat biscuits in front of him, she quickly revised.

Luna would give a smile and nod in Shugo's direction before going to take a seat near where the violet haired girl was hiding. Hopefully being nearer someone that Wendy at least knew the name of would calm the girl down a bit.

Learning self-defense? I mean.. I don't really need it, buy I guess it'll give me something to do!

Xaier had caught sight of the paper posted on a bulleton board and decided to investigate, only to find out what it was. The emerald eyed sophomore had been doing his best to keep a regular training schedule going, but it was much harder with a broken leg than he originally thought. But this wasn't his first rodeo.

Eventually the final bell rang and the silver-haired boy had made his way to the gymnasium where this self-defense class was being taught. He was probably going to get all kinds of looks when he went he. He was pretty sure he was the only one stupid enough to go while his lower leg was wrapped in a cast.

A smile upon his face, Xaier would enter into the gym as confident as ever, each stop producing the dull clap of his crutches as he moved inside and found a place to settle himself down until the lessons kicked off.

[[OoC: I'll be acting as a GM for this thread, so make sure you guys post once between my posts. You don't have to post in any specific order. If you do in future rounds, I'll let you guys know.]]

Arose would smile as the students began to file in. One by one the roomw as getting full. He couldn't have been prouder of his students, Shugo for teaching them, and the others for wanting the opportunity to better themselves. His intuition told him... this could quite possibly have been the start of something different altogether.

As Mizu Reinzu entered, Shugo would stand up from the bleachers to meet him on his way in. The Pillar would hold his hand out and introduce himself whether or not the other boy would take his hand.

"Yeah. I'm Shugo Yuy. Thanks for coming in."

Shugo waited a moment for the boy to introduce himself before noticing Kyou walk in, "Excuse me."

Shugo walked over to the young boy and held his hand out. He knew Kyou Kobayashi, roughly. The awkward moment when he thought Kyou was asking him out but was really just asking him something else that they never really got around to. Shugo knew one thing, the boy had guts. He had been one of the ones to have fallen fighting the Aegis and the Banshee.

"Hey Kyou. Glad you could make it."

Shugo would once more excuse himself after giving Kyou a moment to speak when he noticed someone else walk in. Upon further inspection as he approached her... He realized it was Zoe. The boy had mixed feelings about this. Walking towards her, visibly one would be able to tell that he was slightly irritated. The boy scratched the back of his head and sighed. He rationalized it in his head. Sarah had apparently done quite the number on Zoe. She was probably scared... unsure of herself. The Pillar knew what that felt like. And it wasn't a good feeling. Zoe was more than welcome here.

"Hey. How are you doing after all of that?"

There was legitimate concern in his voice. Shugo found it hard to actually stay angry at people. Zoe wasn't a fighter, and seeing her here meant that she was worried. After giving her a chance to speak, Shugo would talk once more.

"You're... Welcome to stay. So long as you swear you won't use anything I teach you to hurt people. Only protect yourself. I like you Zoe, but if you use what I teach you to help RIOT... I'll have to take you down with the rest of them."

The boy wasn't attempting to make his words sound like a threat, but he didn't quite realize the weight his words carried as the First Pillar. News had traveled around the school at this point, that Shugo had relentlessly traveled through each and every conflict site during the FEAR events, stopping even his own brother. Zoe had also seen him defeat Kaiser once before with his friends... and then come very close by himself until Macht's intervention. She knew just what he was capable of, and the lengths that he would go to protect his school and the city.

Before going any further. He heard a loud shout for food. Turning around, Shugo saw the blonde haired kid that had helped him during the events with the Wraith. He'd turn back to Zoe for a moment.

"Give me one second. I'll be back."

Shugo stepped over to Kai Young-Jae Kim. He'd hold his hand out.

"Sorry I forgot. I owe you some McDonalds don't I?"

The pillar joked lightly to the boy. He'd excuse himself once more as he saw someone else enter into the room. Shugo would make his way towards Aldritch Hexell before holding his hand out in greeting.

"Hey. I'm Shugo Yuy, the organizer of this training session. It's good to meet you."

After Hexell introduced himself, Shugo would excuse himself once more. He'd make his way towards Luna Narcissus before holding his hand out to her.

"Hey, it looked like you guessed it from your wave, but I'm Shugo Yuy, the First Pillar. It's good to have you here."

The boy would allow the younger girl a few moments to introduce herself before excusing himself. Shugo would walk to meet Felix Booker. The boy would hold his hand out once more like he had with the others.

"Hey, I'm Shugo Yuy, the First Pillar. I'm glad you could make it in for the lessons."

Shugo gave a few moments for Felix to introduce himself like the others before excusing himself. When he was turning around to greet the others, he almost bumped right into Nanami.

"Oh sorry about that. It's good to see you again, Nanami. You uh... You changed your hair color right? It looks good."

The boy would smile towards her and speak for a moment before excusing himself. Shugo walked to @kamina. The girl in the lunchroom who had actually sparked this idea.

"Hey there. Hope you don't mind I took your idea. You were right though. This school does need someone to teach the students how to protect themselves. Thanks for showing me that."

Shugo would hold his hand out to Kamina as a show of a formal thank you. After allowing her to respond, Shugo would excuse himself to greet the others.

"You were... Xaier right? Dude, I haven't seen you since Drama Class. How've you been?"

Shugo recalled the time Xaier McCaine and himself had accidentally disrupted the Photography Club... and then hotboxed the back stage of the Drama Class... Oh simpler times. The blue haired boy would hold his hand out to his old acquaintance, glad that he was here. After listening to Xaier's piece, Shugo would excuse himself to continue greeting people. He turned around to notice a familiar face walking towards him.

"Jeez... I figured you'd know by now that I'm not the party type."

The boy would give a smile towards Siobhan Arden. The boy spoke in a soft but confident tone, jesting with Siobhan. They had their differences in the past, but Shugo never really saw her as an enemy.

"Nah. This is a self def-"

Before he could continue, the blue haired boy finally noticed some quiet sobbing coming from under the bleachers. "I'm sorry Siobhan. Give me a second." Shugo would promptly step away from the girl and make his way under the bleachers staying a few feet away from ᎳᎬᏁᎠᎥᎶᎾ.

"Hey there. Are you okay?"
