Two faces kissed the practice mat and hands with violet nail polish held them there.

"You boys shouldn't be so rough with each other, especially you Mr. Grymm, you shouldn't be so aggressive towards your bestfriend ."

They were surprised, not by their sudden meeting with the dirty mat but, with the person the voiced belonged to. It struck them and they immediately knew who it was.

"Speak up boys!"

"Uhhmmm...!!!" both of them moaned.

She quickly released her hands from their heads and they pulled their heads up. They looked like drowning men who were excited to breathe air again. They coughed, just like anyone with proper reflexes would, and finally spoke after catching their breath.

"Ms. Scarlet!?" they said in complete unison.

"What is it?" she answered , annoyed at the loudness of their voice.

"W-where did you... W-why did you..." Red was confused.

"Where did I come from and why did I dunk your heads in the ground?"

Blake and Red just nodded in unison but still in shock.

"Well I came from my office, then I went here for my after-classes stroll and then I saw you guys fighting." She continued, "then as a faculty of the school I felt the responsibility for stopping you, so I came running and used my secret ninja technique I learned in my acrobatics class to jump and land on my arms. Of course, I used your heads to soften the landing ."

"Uuhh..."

"Well you two should head home, I will not speak of this incident to anyone."

"Yes Ms. Scarlet"

"And promise me it won't happen ever again" she used an authoritative yet persuading voice.

"We promise Ms. Scarlet."

"Good, now leave!"

The two boys ran out of the gym like little children running from a scary zombie clown.

They walked home; bags slung over their shoulder, feet almost being dragged along the concrete sidewalk and faces puzzled. It's been 15 minutes yet silence wasn't broken . Blake parted ways with his friend, they looked at each other for a few seconds and Red went on his way home.

Blake did his daily routine; greet his sister warmly, cook their dinner, go to bed. But something was bothering Blake, and he knows that his sister notices it too. Yet Amii did not bother to ask Blake until he told her what happened. Maybe it's because she feels that it was something that wasn't meant to be shared even between them.

7am, Akumano Academy Room 103

"Alright class, settle down and listen. I have an announcement to make. Next week is the start of the annual Akumano Sports Fest. You are all encouraged to join any sports event you want even if you are not part of the school varsity teams. The schedule for next week's events will be posted in the gym on Friday. And for everyone who isn't participating, you will be cheering those who participate and there will be no classes." Professor Rainsworth explained briefly and continued their lessons. After discussing the history of Human Propagation and Survival, he left.

"It looks like our student body President has gone back from the conference." Red said to Blake as he sat at the table facing Blake.

"Really? I didn't need to know." Blake gave a cold reply.
