Ch. 6 - Duty

The sun continued to rise as Hiro approached the school once again with Mayumi- separating from her almost instantly as she gave a nod, smile, and small wave. Over the past month, it has been noted that Hiro was becoming more and more independent; as to which on the contrary he'd normally be attached to Mayumi in a similar fashion to Tatsuya and Miyuki. Moving along he made his way to the disciplinary committee room, opening the door to be greeted with most members already there- "Just for me?", his young spirit chirped jokingly as it gained a small chuckle from Mari and some of the committee members.

"Sit, Hiro." her voice radiated through the room as he followed the direction, sitting down in a chair as she began to inform them. "Today is a festival day.. most people tend to snatch the freshmen for clubs, and it sometimes can get- not very friendly as so to speak." this gained the recognition of all members within the room. Mari began to explain, "Due to this you will have patrol areas that intersect with each other." which she slid some papers out. The papers showed their patrol paths and who exactly they'd cross with more or less, Hiro just happened to have Tatsuya as his area buddy. As she stood up, her hand slapped lightly down onto the table they were all at, with everyone following and standing. Tense eyes were seen between Tatsuya and someone that Hiro had once.. disarmed- "Of course this little shit.." flew through Hiro's mind as he saw the eyes dart to himself.

As soon as they exited, Tatsuya and himself headed to their zones. It wasn't too long after that the two heard shouting. Hiro was on the opposite end to the taller Shiba twin and almost as if they already knew each other in both action and emotions- they acted. The shorter young man ran in with his hands crystallizing as he began pushing them off of the young red head that was being grabbed by multiple people to join their club. Tatsuya with his amazing speed darted in and snatched Erika, who was the person identified, from the crowd with Hiro soon enough jumping backwards out of the crowd. Odd enough, he had to have jumped about 4 feet into the air- with his legs now having crystallization on them. It began to crack as the crystallization shattered off both his hands and legs.

With a scowling look, he placed a hand on his leg. "You're getting eager to take over.. aren't you?" He thought to himself as he sighed and got up, resuming the patrol. His unbuttoned jacket flowed as he began to move more. Just the simplicity of knowledge that his presence existed was enough to suppress that entire area- not just his actions though, it was mainly because of his supposed "sister", Mayumi. Another scream was heard as he saw two young women riding around on skateboards, with another young woman in their arms and Mari pursuing them. The sigh from earlier returned as he sprinted at full speed, with his legs once again crystallizing however- this time suppressed by Hiro. His fingers quickly raised as a small blotch came out of the ground, knocking them off of their boards as it quickly retreated down. Mari looked over to Hiro as she gave an approving nod, with the young man nodding back to her.

"Owww!" One of the females complained, "Did you have to trip us that hard?" as to which Mari walked over and smiled, "You know just as well as I do that we can't have you doing this". Honoka, a girl that was seen from that first day, was being helped up by Hiro as he then switched his attention to the pair of girls that were on the boards. "Are you injured? I'm sorry for doing that. You had to be stopped somehow." he remarked as the two both shook their heads and gave a slight blush to his behavior and of course, outward appearance. Mayumi was the one who taught him how to act so proper to a woman.. as she really did think of him as her brother.

Hiro continued the patrol route, going into a building that was used for Kendo. Tatsuya had also headed there with the red-haired girl after; she tended to be annoying in his own opinion. A confrontation was about to begin with Hiro looking up to Tatsuya, they were nearly in sync with their mindsets. "There's still more than an hour before Kenjutsu club is up, Kirihara!" a young brown haired girl proclaimed as they stared into each other's eyes. The back and forth continued as Mibu and Kirihara both collided swords, with the rubber tips of the wooden kendo swords poking each other- a draw. "If that was a real sword.. you would be fatally wounded." Mibu started as she began to explain, "As for me- you stopped short of the bone. Accept your defeat like a good loser."; the tone began to slowly change as a smirk appeared across the face of Kirihara.
