Komori, Rumi
Heading to Dew Dover Academy; Dokoka, Japan
" Honestly, I would be a bit upset; but I'm more intrigued to learn who actually gave you my number."
Each step was punctuated with the distinctive click of heels against concrete as she moved. Perfect steps, one right in front of the other. Perfect posture. Only enough hairs out of place to perfectly paint her lax persona.
" Mhm," Her face was distinctive; sharp and handsome with a straight nose, sharp smile, and dead eyes that narrowed in annoyance. Distinctive enough that the occasional onlooker would stop and stare as the previously missing, ex-number three hero in Japan passed them by with clicking heels and a strangely business casual outfit.
" Cute," her tone was certainly chipper, though the strain in her smile indicated she did not think whatever the person on the other end of the phone had said was actually endearing by any means.
With the finality of a shovel patting down the last mound of freshly turned grave soil, Komori ended the call; before dropping her phone into the stone sidewalk and cracking it with her heel.

Lan
Dew Dover Academy; Dodoka, Japan
Despite the momentous occasion, the beginnings of a frown tugged at his lips.
Nothing unusual to be honest. Honestly, any form of smile would have been completely alien to the boy's face at this point; but the teacher being fifteen minuets late to the first class of the school year was certainly no help. As each second ticked on into another minuet, Lan's mounting distaste for the woman had reached its " deserving of a long-winded-lecture" peak.
The default frown of annoyance had since stretched into a scowl. Small arms crossed as he sat on the desk he had picked for himself ( that's right , on the desk; like a dickhead. Because that's all the respect a teacher that kept their class waiting a whole 15 minuets deserved! ), and if his foot could reach the floor; he certainly would have been tapping it judgmentally.
Just about every seat in the classroom had filled out already; some rather interesting looking students, others remarkably plain- at least one that honestly did not look old enough to be taking a college course ( but really, who was Lan to judge when it came to that affliction in particular ).
And still no teacher.
" Okay, fuck this." He muttered the exclamation to himself, the combination of Japanese with a single perfectly pronounced English swear honestly a bit strange to hear. With a dignified huff he stood, a little disappointed that his act of defiance in sitting on the desk would go unnoticed; but lacking the patients to continue waiting.
With heavy steps ( that gave an impression of weighted boots, considering how light the boy looked in all other aspects ) Lan stalked towards the front door of the classroom and flung it open.
On the other side stood the teacher. Tall, and smiling brightly- every sharp tooth in her mouth showing through the grin before she spoke.
" Aw, am I late? My bad."
With practiced grace the woman stepped past the scrawny student blocking her path; and into the room. Lan very much would have opened his mouth to berate her for the conduct, but before he had the chance she placed a hand on his head and turned him around to face the seats.
" Go sit down silly, you're holding class up," Rumi smiled at her own little joke, as Lan felt his hears burn with frustration.
