"Hm... Interesting... This girl and by the looks of it, her best friend, have been accepted into U.A..." an ominous, almost mechanical voice echoed through the darkness that surrounded a large, flickering screen. A black silhouette moved in the shadows and watched through another pair of eyes on the screen as if they were watching a live recording of someone's daily life; someone, who was walking down the hall, passed many U.A. students and carried a lunch tray. "This will be a great opportunity for me to start... She'll become far more useful than she realizes..." Their deep, eerie words mumbled to themselves and proved that they were male due to the figure of their silhouette.


Soon, in side-view, his lips curled into an open smirk and were shown clearly once the screen's light flashed across his face.


~~~With the redhead~~~


Embarrassed, Uviel couldn't believe that Haru was about to tell them about her social issue...or so she thought; the girl hadn't realized that once she left they were told about her shyness. The look on her best friend's face told her how much fun she was having, talking with the other students and she sort of envied her in a way.


Many students who wandered the hall, passed by and stared at her with confused, knitted brows. It was lunchtime and she was heading to the rooftop after getting her food, thoughts of homeroom swarmed her mind as she sauntered down the hall. "Why... How could she possibly forget that I was shy...? Was she just caught up in the moment? Or, was it on purpose to try and get people to talk to me...? She knows I'm only good at talking over the phone or text. I swear, sometimes it makes me wonder if she really does do it on purpose," the girl's mumbled and muffled words behind her mask, fell upon deaf ears as students passed her.


"Uvieeel!" Haru yelled from across the hall behind her and waved her hand, making her best friend turn to see her.


A sweatdrop fell down the girl's head at the sight and groaned. Why she couldn't just run up to her and get her attention that way, was beyond her. Watching her sprint and skillfully swerve to avoid other students, eventually, the brunette caught up.


"Hey! Wanna eat lunch with me? We could go on the rooftop if you want, away from everyone else," the snake girl questioned and grinned brightly, allowing a few giggles to escape. There in her hand was a lunchbox with countless...hard-boiled eggs, she saw them once the lid opened for the girl to see.


"Sure, I guess," that was the cybernetic girl's simple answer until someone's voice behind the brunette exclaimed. Her blue hues widened at the sight of a few students from their homeroom catching up to Haru, so the girl comedically tried to walk away as fast as possible; a chibi, all pudgy with devastated and round, white eyes with her mouth hidden behind that mask.


"Hey, guys!" With an energetic wave of her hand and closed eyes, her other hand reached behind her. It stretched hysterically and dramatically across the hall after Uviel, who was about to turn a corner. As if it was made from a rubber band, her arm snapped back to her side with a chibi Uviel in her grasp.


A single narrowed eye was what the redhead had in her chibi-form, as she hung in the air in her best friend's grasp and kept a tight hold on her tray. It was Kirishima, along with a kid with dirty blonde hair and Mezo, who simply gave them a friendly wave.
