chapter 52 - the ache in her teeth

The blood that Komi was looking at was a red colour. It dripped like water, but like the saying goes, it's meant to be thicker. 
The blood itself was coming from Komi though, dripping from her mouth. Putting her hands up to her lips, she found nothing split on her lips. And slowly as she felt the inside of her mouth with her teeth, she found the feeling of two teeth gone.

For a moment, Komi froze, her tongue stuck on the spot where her teeth were once presence. She jammed her fingers inside and easily found the spot where her finger dipped down where her tooth should be -where both of them should be.
They were just gone, literally just gone.

Komi glanced all around, but her eyes found nothing of her teeth. She could've lost them when she was fighting that girl, but surely she would've known if her teeth fell out, right? She wasn't that blind in the fight with a white hot searing rage? She would've known that her teeth had fallen out...but where else would they have?

Was that was the cold feeling in Komi's neck was, the teeth going to fall out and that blonde girl being the cause of it...maybe, but there was something wrong with that girl. She had a means of attack without trying to earn points -which was the entire point of why this round was happening -to earn point, so it made no sense.
Clearly whatever they're teaching at Shiketsu High is vastly different from UA...

Komi looked up, glancing around the room once more. It was still empty, but now it actually felt empty...maybe Komi didn't like empty spaces after all.
There was a bathroom sign that caught her eye, and Komi went towards it, hoping to find a way to fix herself.

And while Komi was in the bathroom, trying to piece together the pieces of the puzzle and why there looked to be remains of her teeth still in her gums, there was another that passed and had now entered the waiting building.
Inasa Yoarashi.

He heard from the loud speakers placed all over the building that he was second, but as he looked around, there didn't seem to be anyone else around. There was some food and water that had his name all over it, so he trotted over and helped himself to the many fruits and gallons of water there was.
About 7 or 8 minutes into his fast, he heard the running noise of a tap and a hand-dryer going off in one of the bathrooms, as it caught his attention, he turned his head to the only bathroom sign in the whole room and waited for the person who came first to walk on out.

There was the cheery smile he had on his face as he waited, but when a very familiar noirette walked out with the same neutral expression on her face like last time they met, his smile almost faulted. However, like just about every in Japan, he knew of the story about Kuyami Shizuki-Todoroki.

"Shizuki-Todoroki!" His cheerful demeanor almost frightened Komi as she didn't expect to hear a yell in the room that when she last checked, was empty. However, she turned and faced the boy greeting her. "I see that you've placed first."

Komi almost shat herself because someone that she has never spoken to was now speaking to her and said something that she wasn't sure how to answer. Small talk was not her strong suit.
"Thank you."
Komi spoke quietly, almost afraid of that if she opened her mouth too much, he'd see the missing parts of her teeth.

Thankfully, his smile got a little wider. Inasa saw that it was probably just a Todoroki thing to be rude to other, and this girl wasn't a true Todoroki, she was just adopted. And he was probably one of the first people to very truly feel sorry for her on that matter. He met Endeavour, and he met the son. Now that Inasa has met Komi, he sees that the traits didn't rub off and he was sorry she had to live with people like that.

"My name is Inasa, we met at the Recommendation Exam earlier this year." He announced, introducing himself with a bow.

"Yes, I remember you. You had a wind quirk." Komi responded with a bow as well.
