" The Beginning " (2)

Back at the school, following the departure of Yua and Hiro, With only one remaining in an old dojo area which is inside the school. In this room, a single female student was training in martial arts. Her black hair moved in unison with her fist, as she carried out every motion, controlling her breathing and the quiet environment soothing her. She heard nothing as if to block out the noise until she detected footsteps looming, startling Yasu. She stopped what she was doing once she heard the steps, she went out the door to look for them, speculating about who they may be.

Following the sound, it starts to get fainter getting farther away. Yasu was puzzled as to why someone would be out at this particular time and found it a little unsettling. So she stopped tracking thinking perhaps they were gone yusa exhaled in relief that it was all nothing and that she was only hearing things. After finishing her rounds and closing the dojo for the night, Yasu walks alone and hears people conversing as she gets closer to the school gate. "please give it back to me it's mine!" the frantic words of a female, "Oh yeah like I would give it to you!" When Yusa heard the guy's menacing tone, she automatically ran to find the girl out of concern for her.

It was a female student with blue hair, and as the night light came on, she saw a man in a black hoodie. "am going to steal this it looks like in good condition and expensive too it's worth the price haha!" They cling something to the girl, seeing through the wicked chuckle. "No, no! Please return it. I swear that I wouldn't say to anyone that I saw you! " Her unease causes her to become anxious as if the object they were holding held important meaning to her. Yasu notices two things immediately in front of her a female student recognizing her uniform, and a thief carrying a camera with a shoulder strap, stating "Yeah sure you won't but I'm still keeping this camera anyway so bye-bye!" The student tries to stop the thief from going only he turns his back on her. " Can you stop? You're starting to irritate me! " they said, growing angr with her attempts.

He pushes her hard to the ground, causing her to cry out as she falls and sees tears welling. Her eyebrows furrow as she prepares herself to lose it. When Yusa rushes forward, going straight for the thief as they are slow to react Yusa easily arms them. "Give the camera back or else," Yusa warns him her eye color darkens. He gulps and scaredly surrenders, handing the camera back to her before turning it. As her fury subsides, she returns to her friend and asks, "Saiko, are you okay? Are you hurt? did they do anything to you? Saiko smiles at Yusa to reassure her Yusa notices that the saiko dry tears have not gone, which upsets her. "It's okay, I got your camera back. The thief got what they deserved," Yusa smiling at Saiko. They cleaned themselves up, knowing it was best for the two of them to walk together until they were at their homes. "Hey Saiko, I got a question. Why did you stay in the school at that time? You know it's dangerous right?" Yusa asked, wanting to know what happened to her.

Saiko's expression changed like she was upset by the question. "At first, I was there at the school gate I just wanted to check on my pictures before I went home so I was looking through the pictures in my camera that I took this morning as I didn't notice then out of nowhere they appeared, and just took my camera from me," Saiko said, feeling agitated. "Don't worry Saiko, at least in the end, I return it to you," Yusa says as she turns to face Saiko. "Thank you so much, Yusa, you always got my back, I appreciate that," Saiko replies kindly as she faces Yusa.

She replies, "Yeah I always got your back when you need it Saiko." Eventually, they reach their houses and bid each other farewell. And for the other destined ones, it marks the end of the day. Others will be shown on the day of the Astra event, and it will be the most entertaining show they have yet to anticipate. It will be a day they will never forget.
