The Fall of The House of Syne (Plot)

The sun bled red over the distant horizon. Slowly descending further and further beneath the surface in it's death throes. If one stared at the sun hard enough they could see a small black spot slowly growing larger. With the flapping of massive wings the Faunus known as Azrael approached Syne on his massive mount. The school was still quite a distance away so the faunus had time to think. It had been some time since Xero did his silly rampage through Syne and got his moronic carcass obliterated. The students did remarkably well against Azrael's ex-partner. When he thought about it, honestly, Azrael was kind of glad that Xero was gone. The two got along as well as, well, fire and water. What with Xero's borderline psychopathic tendencies. The only reason Azrael put up with Xero was for someone else's sake. Someone, who was bothered by Xero's untimely passing. Azrael had spent the past day trying to console her, but ultimately, the time had come for him to go on his mission.

Azrael's mount alighted a sizable distance away from the academy. Certainly far enough away where it wouldn't be detected, but close enough that Azrael could summon it and the others if needed. Azrael dismounted the beast and stroked it's feathers lovingly before sliding a large bag off of it's back. With that the Faunus set off towards the academy on foot. He wished to finish his mission with as little bloodshed as possible. Ideally there would be no bloodshed at all. But just in case, he had to set up a contingency plan.

Azrael walked around the exterior of the classroom building, stopping every dozen meters or so to pull a painting from the bag and hang it on one of the exterior walls. The paintings were those of a chibi Faunus and Beowulf shaking hands and had in red lettering over it "EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL SPECIES!" Each painting was signed in the corner by "Dusty". Azrael smiled as he hung the last painting and then walked into the classroom building.

The silver haired Faunus looked like he didn't have a care in the world as he strolled down the hallways of the classroom building. Hearing the din of school life around him, he smiled lazily, his tail swishing back and forth as he walked. Underneath that lazy expression though, Azrael was cautiously scanning his environment. Looking out for any threats, and most importantly, looking for the headmaster's office.

Strolling through the hallways on his own, almost as always, Gawain began recovering from his head injury; he gently and softly rubbed the recovering area, covered by his white bandaged headband. That boy was indeed a strong opponent, a powerful one at that, but their spar together reinforced the fact that he had to be strong and never yield to any opponent until he fell on the ground himself. Standing by the side of the hallway, looking down at his clenched right fist, Gawain reminded himself of that idea for every battle ahead. He had goals he had to complete; he had friends to fight for; he had ideals to fight for, and he couldn't just give up on those things after he made it this far into his first year. With a dedicated nod, Gawain removed himself of anymore tension through one exhale before continuing on his day. It was a Friday, so his general hopes for the rest of the day was that he'd be able to improve on his piano technique.

With a calm expression, tugging along his beige satchel over his left shoulder as he was dressed in his white coat, his blue elbow-length-sleeved shirt, his white slacks, and white dress shoes, Gawain expected nothing out of the ordinary that day; however, with a Faunus strolling around who looked almost as if he was out of place. Gawain's suspicion was caused through mostly the appearance, not having seen such clothing before, but he wasn't just about to walk up to him and ask what he was doing and if he was new. Gawain decided to just stay on his own and watch for a little while, wondering if it was someone who needed help like himself on the first day.

Drawing himself to a wall that had no other occupant, Gawain, with a definite intrigue, watched the Faunus as he seemed to move with a relaxed manner, although he made no attempt to communicate with anyone in the school. Could it just be someone I don't know? Gawain tried to be logical about the situation, but there was something about that Faunus that Gawain wondered about. The Faunus could've also been a loner, just like Gawain, but, with a shy personality himself, Gawain stayed at his spot, only to wonder what that Faunus was doing.

Ishi had just awoken... yet again, in his classroom. He shook his head, at least this time he had fallen asleep in his chair. Getting his bearings together, he went into his desk drawer, and brought out a pill he liked to call a wake-up pill. It cleared his head and allowed him to think properly. It was going to be a long day, he just had that feeling. He then looked under his desk, and grabbed 'his' blade, which wasn't his but it's what he used. He went to the closet that was always in his room, and went behind the chemicals where there was a book-shelf. He looked through them, and took out a book on human nature vs that of Grimm written by an author named Deion Antony.

I'd dare suggest, when those of which my collages don't, that between us two there is not that much different. The main difference lies in the fact that, theoretically, the grimm do use more instinct then us, and we use more intelligence, but that's beyond the fact I'm trying to say. I'm trying to disprove the giant so-called barrier between the two. He took this book out into the classroom, and read it a bit more. His interest was piqued. He got to page 10, and folded the edge of the page, and closed the book. It wasn't a very large book*, so he shoved it in his suit pockets.

He'd love to read more about this, but it wasn't the time to do that, nor was it the best place to do that. He was ready.. almost. He then fastened his sword to his hip through a belt loop, and has a broad smile. He then walked out to see what the day is like.

What he saw when he got out there is a student he had seen around, and a new face. He rubbed his chin before going forward to confront the person.

"Hello! Welcome to Syne academy, I haven't seen you around before... and I usually don't forget faces." It was hard to go against nature when that's what you did for like 10 years... or was it 5? He can never remember exactly. "The names Ishi Omo, I'm the anatomy teacher here. What's your name?" He then looked at the paintings, and then at the book in his suit pocket. He smirked at the idea.

The painting was adorable though. Honest to god it was, and if wasn't a teacher, he might even try to buy one.

Lloyd was wandering in the school as usual. He was going along in some hallways, roaming and looking around as he still haven't visited all the school yet. He looked over his notebook, more specifically at Gae Bulg's blueprint, while walking. Even though he had just upgraded it, he was already thinking about the next step. He had to find a way to combine his lance to the machine gun idea he had, but he had to also convert more of the weapon to house the future new form.

Lloyd raised his nose out of his notes as something caught his attention by the window. A giant flying.....thing... that has landed in the forest near the school. Lloyd never saw something like that before. He decided to go take a look. As he went down the stairs and made his way outside, the "thing" wasn't in sight anymore. He tried to look for it from afar, without success. He saw a young boy, a faunus as it seems placing a painting before going inside the school.

The painting was intriguing him as it made him think about the beowulf he had fought a while back and the fact that it looked like it had feelings, hate to be exact. Could the mindless beast we were taught to kill could have feeling as well? Be more sociable than we think? Maybe, that's one thing he would ask the boy, but first, Lloyd wondered if the boy saw the same "thing" than him so he went after him to ask that as his priority. That "thing" could be a species of Grimm that was still unknown to him, or even to anyone, a species he didn't researched yet...

As he followed the young faunus, he saw that a teacher was already talking to him. He also saw another guy who seemed to have suffered from a recent injury. Although the fact about the guy's health was lingering in Lloyd's mind, he had to talk about the "thing" to the faunus. He approached the two who were talking after they were done responding to one another. "Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt. I think I saw you coming through the school just now, did you happen to see a flying "thing" on your way here? Oh and pardon me, the name's Lloyd." He bowed slowly to the two man to apologize of his sudden apparition.

As Azrael scanned his surroundings while walking it seemed like he was noticed. The silver haired Faunus sighed mentally. It seemed like he wasn't going to be able to blend in with the crowd. Figures. Time to come up with a backup plan. Not losing stride Azrael made quick observations about his situation. There was a golden haired human who was watching Azrael from one of the walls. The man was almost regal in appearance, even underneath the bandages that wrapped around his head. Azrael let out a chuckle.

"That one could be quite the ladykiller." The man on the wall didn't seem to be immediately threatening, but that didn't mean that the Faunus shouldn't be wary of him. Onto the next person.

Azrael's attention shifted to an approaching figure. It was a middle aged man dressed in a lab coat and certainly coming to speak with Azrael. The silver haired Faunus gave a friendly smile as the man greeted him, stating that he didn't forget faces, and introduced himself as the Anatomy Teacher Ishi Omo. Azrael made a mental note about his teacher status as he responded.

"Hello Mr. Omo. You are correct, I am a new student here. My name is Jin Tezuki. Nice to meet you." Azrael introduced himself with a false alias without even twitching. Maintaining his calm and laid back demeanor. After all, going by a false identity was as natural to Azrael as breathing, he had been doing it for so long. Even his identity as "Azrael" was false. Some days the Faunus found it hard to remember his real name. Thus he started his backup plan of posing as a student. He continued with his facade.

"Actually Mr. Omo, I could use some help." Azrael said as he scratched the back of his head and let out an embarrassed chuckle. "I am looking for the headmaster's office. You wouldn't happen to know where it is would you?"

Just then another presence intruded itself in on Azrael's game. It was a white haired student who started asking him about seeing something flying nearby. Azrael cursed mentally. The student then introduced himself as Lloyd as he bowed in apology. Azrael chuckled and responded to Lloyd.

"No need to apologize. I'm Jin, and yeah, I did see something weird in the sky. But the sun was in my eyes while I was looking at it so I thought it was trick of my imagination."

Azrael's ears twitched as he heard the door to outside opening. Could it be another disruption to his plans. So far this was starting to stray from the simple in-and-out plan that Azrael had planned. Hopefully, for everyone's sake, he wouldn't have to go to Plan B. But hey, that could be fun in it's own right. Albeit a lot riskier.

Nilo was wandering the halls still trying to map out the large academy. She then began to think Yeah this place is huge I am so going to get lost a lot. While Nilo was walking she saw someone that looked familiar it was a boy with two toned hair that went by the name Lloyd and Nilo had meet him in a survival class. Nilo's first instinct was to run to him since he was the only acquaintance Nilo had seen Wen Nilo got to him she said "Hey Lloyd! What's up?" Then Nilo noticed the silvered haired faunus that was talking to Lloyd and she said "Sorry am I interrupting a conversation?" Nilo then began to think I have never seen this guy before.. He must be new.. That means that maybe Lloyd is his first friend at Syne.. Maybe I should try to be friends with him too!

Attention, since this is the current plot thread and that we don't want this one to take as long as the last, each person as 24 hours to post before others can skipped them. It's all in order to keep the plot fluid, so please be quick, but don't rush, we still want quality posts.

This 24h rule only applies to plot, regular threads may continue on the 3 days rule.

Since this is new, the rule starts from this post and onward, so 24h from now, if Gawain hasn't posted, Ishi would be up.

And don't forget: Have fun ^^

Despite his attempt at being a simple bystander who was curious about someone who he never seen before, Gawain was noticed by not just the man he wanted to learn more about, but also another, one that begun talking to the silver-haired Faunus. The boy who noticed him looked fine though, and seemed like he would've been a nice person to talk to if Gawain was ever given the chance to; however, he continued to watch from afar, only he advanced a bit closer to everyone, close enough to listen into their conversation and enter in when he sought fit. Rubbing his bandaged forehead, Gawain's eyes stayed focused on the massing group: the interesting teacher, the silver-haired boy, a Faunus acquainted with the boy, and the silver-haired Faunus. Gawain knew that at any point he could've just walked up and said hi, but right then, he just didn't have the guts to do so.

However, as Gawain continued to wait in his spot, eavesdropping on the conversation of the four, the boy also noticed a sudden massing of students through one of the windows outside. They were staring at something, posted on a wall most likely, but Gawain couldn't see what it was. It wasn't like Syne to have graffiti of some sort, but Gawain didn't know what else to say to the situation. It's not like he was just going to walk away at that point to find out what when he was already focused so intently on the new student. So, as a commitment to the case, Gawain leaned against his wall, a hand up by his recovering wound, the other down by his side, and he waited and watched, simple as that.

He saw the two new people enter the conversation. One was a boy that looked quite interesting; the boys name turned out to be Lloyd, and then there was another girl who came up who seemed to know Lloyd. He then turned his head back, to see the Fanus' ears twitch. His eyebrows furled as he tried to figure out if that was just a small twitch he had, or if he was trying to cover for something. Due to his past, he had seen such twitches, so he became suspicious of Jin, although it was mainly being weary, it was also the way he worded the words. It made him think that either this boy was socially aqward or lying, but something about that socially aqward was not fitting. It was not something that couldn't seemingly be possible. There was something so obviously wrong. He'd have to attempt to get Jin away.

He unfurled his eyebrow, [color=green] "Something was in your eye? There was 2 of you that seen it, but I saw nothing of the sort when I came outside. Do explain to me what you saw; so I can dictate if It needs to be worried about. If nothing needs to be worried about, we shall not tell it to the headmaster and keep it our little secret."[color] He said that without any telling of his suspicion.

Lloyd smiled and nodded as Jin introduced himself as well when he said that he too saw the same "thing" that he saw earlier. He was though disappointed when he said that the sun was blinding him. He didn't believed that it was an hallucination, or just the fruit of his imagination. If Lloyd saw it too, there must have been something in the sky at that moment. The teacher, that Lloyd hasn't met yet seemed to think the same. "It's nice to meet you Jin, and you too Professor, I don't think we have met yet." He bowed his head slightly as a salutation to the teacher as the man inquire on what he had seen. It looked like he wished to know if that "thing" could be a potential threat the the school. "Hmmm, I'm not sure. It was quite big with impressive wings. I only got a glimpse of it as it has landed in the woods nearby. It could have been a Nevermore, but I have a feeling it wasn't. I also could be totally wrong, who knows... Did what you saw was similar Jin?" He looked at the boy, awaiting an answer.

Lloyd then turned around as he heard his name. It was Nilo, a girl that was in the same survival class. It would have been shameful to forget her as she had drawn a lot of attention with her "friend" Ryan. He smile and bowed to her as she approached. "Why hello there Miss Nilo, I hope you are quite well. How are you and Ryan doing? I hope things aren't tense between the two of you after what happened in class. It would be a shame, don't you agree?" Lloyd didn't meant to be rude with his sudden inquire about Nilo's and Ryan's current...relationship...He was just a little curious.

He continued to talk."Don't worry, you are not interrupting. We were doing some small talk. Jin, here, is new to Syne. I was about to ask him if he would like a small tour of the school and the surroundings. Maybe you could join us, I mean if Jin is interested of course..." Lloyd did want to offer a small visit of the school to a new student, but that wasn't all he wanted from the situation, he wanted to know more about the painting he saw, about what Jin thought about it.

Mr. Omo caught on to the conversation about the thing in the sky and pressed at it hard. Sure he tried to hide it under friendliness. But there was something about the way he looked at Azrael made warning sirens scream in his mind. The teacher asked both Azrael and Lloyd for more details about what they saw in the sky. To which Lloyd happily complied. Stating that it had wings and was really large. Theorizing it to be a Nevermore. Azrael gasped and made an expression of shock as he leaned backwards away from Lloyd. Raising his arms in a warding off position in order to more accurately express the body language of shock.

"Really?! A Nevermore so close to the school?! I thought that the school had defenses for that sort of thing?" Azrael stated as he continued to keep up his ruse. "I mean, all I saw was a shadow on the sun, but then it quickly disappeared."

Another person showed up, it looked like there was a Faunus girl who knew Lloyd. Azrael let out a mental sigh of relief as she distracted him. Now if only the silver haired faunus could find a way to slip away. His hopes were dashed when Lloyd returned his attention to "Jin". Mentioning that he wanted to show "Jin" around the school. Azrael was about to respond when he felt a pressure at his back and was pushed out of the group. The silver haired faunus visibly tensed up in surprise as she caught him off guard. He didn't know whether to draw his weapon or not and make a break for it. He should analyze his situation first. Azrael turned his head to look at who was pushing him and with what before he would decide how to react. He saw a pair of black cat ears on top of a golden head. So it was a faunus, fair enough. She wasn't pressing a weapon in his back so he could relax. She seemed to be helping him get away from the others. Azrael relaxed as the girl pushing him seemed to be quite hostile towards the people surrounding them. Azrael quietly chuckled at her words and let her push him down the hallway.

"Well isn't she a cute one. So honest." Azrael whispered to himself.

Once the girl stopped pushing Azrael she spoke to him directly. Stating that he seemed crowded. Azrael laughed and turned to face the girl. Giving her a genuine smile, the first one he's given all day, as he did. She did help him after all.

"Yeah, it was pretty rough. Thanks for saving me there." Azrael said with relief.

He looked over the girl in front of him quickly. She was young, cute too, Azrael doesn't have a hard time thinking she would be cute enough to practically be a plush. Still, she was young, so it wasn't likely she was a teacher, but that wasn't out of the realm of possibility. From her behavior it is reasonable to assume she holds some animosity towards Humans. Useful. If this were any other situation Azrael may have tried to recruit the girl to their cause. But he didn't have time for that right now. He had to maintain his cover. Azrael smiled and bowed to her.

"Thank you for the save miss. My name is Jin, Jin Tezuki." Azrael stood back up and gave a sheepish smile. "I was kinda ambushed while I was looking for the Headmaster's Office. Actually, I'm kinda lost. I don't actually know where it is." He finished with an embarrassed chuckle.

Maybe the girl would help him, maybe not. Either way, he needed to go, and soon.

Nilo heard her classmate ask her a question about weather or not things were tense with her and Ryan to which she replied with "Nah things aren't as tense as you would think it we are completely fine... Showing a new student around Syne? Sure it sounds like fun." After that Nilo was pushed to the ground by someone who seemed to be trying to get through the little group that was there. Nilo got up to see some cat faunus with blonde hair that wasn't there before Nilo assumed it was the girl that pushed her and her assumption was only proven with what the faunus said. Nilo then began to think out loud "What is that girl's problem?! Was she not taught basic manners as a child! Just who does she think she is?!" Nilo then flapped her wings twice in order to shake out any dirt that they might of picked up as she mumbled to herself "Its not like we were hurting him right? There was no need to be so rude! Shoving us out of the way like that she could of atleast said excuse me like a normal person.

He saw a student get pushed and then the new kid, Jin, at least that was his supposed name. He never trusted names. Too risky. He went by a fake name for 10 years himself. Isane. It was something he didn't like to remember, but kept it there in his head just in case things like this happened.

He had paid attention to where the two went with one eye, and then said to Nilo, "Are you okay?" He had been pushed a bit, sure, but nothing to warrent any reaction. He then turned and walked in the direction of the two, he turned back to Lloyd and the other students, "I'll go deal with this."

As he reached a few more steps forward, he said, in the kindest voice possible, "Jin? You needed help? And are you okay?

Also, we meant no harm when we were talking, in fact, that is all we were doing, I was just about to show Jin here to the headmasters office."

He was still slightly suspicious of Jin, but that was no matter. He'd talk to him privately later if he got the chance. He was also interested in the species equality, and he knew that involved Anatomy as well. He could make breakthroughs, but that was for later.

As Jin looked, overly surprised, about the possible threat of a possible Nevermore around, Lloyd began to wonder. Syne was currently known for an increase in Grimm activity and seeing a shadow in the sky like both him and Jin did, what else could is has been if it wasn't a Nevermore? But Lloyd didn't know how to see Jin's reaction, it could be simply because he was new and that he didn't have the latest info about the Grimm attacks. But still, it felt quite weird... "The school does have a security team, so I must admit that I'm surprised as well..."

Lloyd then smiled as Nilo said that everything was fine between her and Ryan, although he had a feeling that Ryan would say otherwise. Then, they were shove aside and Nilo even fell as a rude faunus girl came by and literally forced her way through like a bulldozer in order to "save" Jin from them. Lloyd helped Nilo to get up and then looked at her as she was quite pissed about the girl. He then looked at that other faunus. Lloyd then whispered "That attitude, could she actually know...?" Lloyd had a feeling this girl might know who he is, or was she like that in general? Lloyd had no clue, but he wished for the first one, better being the only one to be hated than everyone...

When the professor said that he would take care of things, Lloyd nodded as it could be a better idea if he wasn't there for now. He would find another time to ask Jin about that painting. So he looked at Nilo wondering if she had plans for now. "Say, Miss Nilo, what about a stroll in the courtyard to have some small talk while the professor takes care of Jin?" Lloyd was wondering something about Nilo. Did she knew who he was, if so, how does she even talks to him? If she was clueless about his identity, he wanted to be honest to her. She was kind, so it was the least he could do. If she was to hate him afterward, at least he would avoid the chance for her to maybe feeling betrayed by a friend later along the line.

Azrael giggled at the girl's behavior as she introduced herself as "Liona Mimiko! Champion of Justice!" with an adorable salute. Listening to her introduction Azrael felt happy that he had found a kindred spirit. Azrael originally was a member of the White Fang after all. But that was a lifetime ago. At some point in time Azrael will have to try to recruit this girl. She could be a great addition to the team. Or at least extremely enthusiastic, and Azrael liked enthusiasm.

Liona was about to tell Azrael the status of the headmaster when Mr. Omo arrived and cut in on the conversation. Asking if the silver haired faunus was okay. Well... that was a relative term. Technically Azrael was running out of time, and it sounds like he has to switch to "Plan B" from what Liona was about to tell him. "Plan B" certainly wasn't as clean as Azrael would like, and it involves a LOT more risk. But he can't return to her unless he has done his job. So like a dutiful "terrorist", Azrael has a job to do. He can do what is necessary to minimize the casualties at least. He can do at least that much for these students. But there certainly was going to be blood. What a distasteful thought, but it is for the greater good.

Of course, Azrael didn't say this at all, instead smiling to the teacher and nodding.

"I'm fine Mr. Omo, thank you for your concern for me. I was just having a chat with Miss Liona as well."

Mr. Omo offered to take "Jin" to the headmaster's office, and Liona seemed to be uncomfortable, or irritated in his presence. The girl certainly wasn't lying about her dislike of Humans. Azrael didn't really dislike Humanity, he just hates mistreatment, abuse, and the blatant racism against his people. Liona responded that the Headmaster, Ms. Lilac, was busy in a confrence. Well this doesn't bode well.
"Plan B" will have to go in effect then. Azrael started to compartmentalize, getting mentally ready to kill if need be. It turns out he does have to be a "terrorist" today.

Azrael sighed and leaned against one of the open windowsills in the hallway, his tail swishing back and forth, lightly patting the wall on each swish.

"Aww man, that's really lame. I wanted to have a chat with her about the school too..."

Time was running short, it was time to get to work. Azrael feigned a confused expression and squinted at something outside the window. One of the "Paintings" he placed outside was right next to this window. Convenient. Azrael closed his eyes as the breeze drifted through the window and washed over him. He focused on his Aura, his body starting to glow slightly blue. He had just devised a plan.

Azrael gasped and his eyes shot open, the sliver haired faunus stumbled backwards from the window and fell. Eyes wide open and pointing outside the window.

"B-b-b-b-b-BOMB!" Azrael yelled out suddenly.

Azrael continued to sputter and spun to Liona and the teacher.

"We have to evacuate the building RIGHT NOW! Someone has strapped a bunch of Dust Bombs to the building and they are going to explode soon! I don't have time to explain but my semblance detects Dust!"

That was a blatant lie of course, Azrael has no such semblance, he was just feigning one by flashing his Aura. In fact, he was the one to place the bombs in the first place anyways. Each painting strapped to the outside of the building was a "Dusty Special". A bomb specifically designed to incinerate buildings. They were set to blow in a few minutes, plenty of time to have a "Conversation" with the headmaster. Now he had to use the time to evacuate the building and escape in the confusion.

"I'm going to make sure that the people upstairs get to safety!"

With that announcement Azrael turned and started running towards the stairs, not looking back to see if someone was following him but certainly listening for approaching footsteps should someone decide to be difficult and follow the silver haired Faunus.

Nilo heard the boy with two toned hair ask if she wanted to go to the courtyard and talk and Nilo said "Sure!" Nilo was about to walk out to the courtyard when she heard someone shouting about a bomb which made her stop and think A bomb?! In Syne?... Come on this has to be a prank right? Would Syne really allow bombs in the school? How would they of gotten here so undetected? Yeah this has to be a prank.. Right? Nilo then looked at the boy with two toned hair and said "This is just a joke right Lloyd? I mean a bomb in the school? There is no way that it is real right?... Regardless I think we should still get out otherwise we might be the ones to blame for this prank right? and we don't want to get in trouble for something we didn't do right?" Nilo then began walking out of the building again.

For a long time, and indefinitely, an everlasting time, a rather length, indecisive time, a prolonged, silent, unnoticed time, a long-lasting, undeniable, excruciatingly drawn-out, vigilant time, a prolonged, hawk-eyed, undeniably and indefinitely mute, forgone, foreshadowing, final time, Gawain waited and watched, simply not doing anything else as he watched the entire group of people crowd around one another, having their little, interesting conversations. Professor Orno seemed to have some control of the situation with Jin; Lloyd seemed calm about the situation, accepting the new boy as one of their own; Nilo was a rather extravagant type, outright stating her complaints; there was the Faunus girl that passed by and incredulously pulled Jin from the conversation; and the star of the show, Jin, was special in some way. He had fairly good social skills, and he seemed like he had a good grasp of the situation whenever a new person entered in, even when the bombing started.

Having made his way closer to Jin and the group of friends to get in ear range of their conversations, Gawain was indeed surprised when the shout of the appearance of bombs came along. He himself made his way to the windows to try and see something, and, clearly, the one thing that stood out from the everyday life at the academy was the horde of propaganda posters. Quickly making the connection that what Jin noticed were bombs, and the only thing new outside were posters, Gawain understood that the posters were bombs, although, having not gotten a proper look at what one of the wallpapers said, Gawain couldn't ascertain a purpose. Nevertheless, as a student who cared for the majority of others, when the demand for them to run, Gawain refused and instead decided to follow Jin, taking the matter into his own hands as well, wanting to help in any way he could.

Following Jin in a rushed manner, however slower than his max speed due to his head injury, Gawain quickly made a description on a page of his notepad, stating, "There are bombs dressed as posters that are strapped outside of the building! Please get out now!" He hoped that, whoever knew him as the kind of person he was, he wasn't joking. He showed it off to whoever he passed by, hoping that they got the message as he continued onward, following Jin as best he could. Gawain just hoped that by the end of that day, they'd both be alive and safe, maybe...

For a bomb to get past security at the air-port must mean one thing, dust bombs. As Ishi thought this, he felt his instincts kick in; He looked at the fanus girl who was standing with the boy whose name was supposedly Jin.
“I know you hate me; but please follow Jin with all your speed.” He did not know how fast she was, he didn’t even know her name. He had heard a snippit of it, but it wasn’t the issue. He could deal with inter-species relations later. He looked behind the bombs and saw just a bit of rigging holding them there, and he ran out to lloyd and the leaving Nilo.

“Hurry and gather any students you can and get away from here. I will try to deal with those bombs. I don’t know if this is a threat or if it’s real; but as a teacher, I can not, and will not, allow this to harm any of you.”

He said it calmly, he saw the boys message, and said, “Go put out a message, you have the best handwriting.”

He then went and studied the paintings.

He didn't even made it out of the building alongside Nilo, that Lloyd turned around at the mere mention of bombs inside the academy. He looked at the girl next to him that was asking and hoping that all of this was a really bad joke. ''I don't know Nilo, but I think it's better not try our luck if it's not one...'' He then looked at the building. Some classes were on, so unawared students were in danger. At that moment, Professor Omo came and asked both him and Nilo to get the students out of the building while he took care of the bombs He also saw the blond guy that was in the hallway make a run for the stairs. Lloyd nodded before looking at a brief moment at what the teacher was holding. It was the paiting, or at least one of those he had looked earlier. ''Alright Sir, I'll help evacuating. Nilo, we should split in order to cover the building faster. I'll go imediately for the top floor and make students exit by the windows with the help of those who can make the jump. Assuming the blong guy went to alert the others as well, is you go by a window in the middle floors, we should be able to evacuate everyone quickly enough.''

With that said, Lloyd rushed outside and used his semblance twise to launch himself throught a window on the top floor and started to shout, but with a calm tone. ''Everyone, get the hell out of the school. There were bombs found across the building. This is not a test, this is not a joke, now everyone get out.'' He relayed instructions to everyone in order to quicken the pace of the evac, saying to tell all unawared students to get out as quick as possible and staying far from the building.

As Lloyd was evacuating, something came to mind, about those paintings. He never had seen them before, not even yesterday, which meant that they were placed today. He then thought about Jin, who just came in... ''Wait, could it be...'' His thoughts were stopped when he arrived midfloor, he should met up with either Nilo or the blond guy, even both...

Azrael was dashing towards the stairs when suddenly a gust of wind slowed his steps and a hand latched onto his own, pulling the silver haired faunus backwards. Azrael cursed mentally as Little Miss Liona called them all idiots and started pulling Azrael towards the exit. Options flashed quickly through Azrael's mind. The bombs were going to go off soon. It was likely that someone saw Azrael hanging the paintings on the outside of the building, they would have questions. And Azrael needed to be out soon. Should he fight his way out? Azrael debated the question as he was pulled out the door, feigning a weak struggle against the girl as the fire alarm went off.

"BUT I GOTTA SAVE THE PEOPLE IN THERE! I CAN'T FAIL AGAIN!"

With his words of protest Azrael was pulled out of the Classroom Building into the courtyard. Moments later a loud thud rang out throughout the area, followed by one explosion, and another, and more after that. Each and every painting the terrorist placed outside the building exploded. Smashing the walls with the force of the explosion and turning the interior of the building into a raging inferno, soon to collapse into rubble. Anyone still inside the building at this point would be suffering some serious injuries.

Azraels heart ached at the horrors he had just wrought, but only for a moment as he sealed it away inside himself once again. These things were necessary for the greater good. The only sounds in the area was the burning of the classroom building, and the screaming... there were still students inside the building... and they were burning.... Azrael would take a sword or be shot any day.... fire will ruin someone for life... He couldn't think of things like this right now, he should have escaped by now. The faunus had to leave, before the suspicious eyes turned his way.

Azrael's attempted to free his hand from Liona's grasp as he fell to his knees in front of the Classroom Building as it started to collapse. Tears streaming from his face. Fully diving into the persona he forged for this situation.

"No.... no this can't be happening.... not again.... I can't...... I can't..... I can't watch this again!"

With that Azrael turned and ran away from the building crying. This is his last chance to escape without having to spill more blood. His heart screamed that no one follow him. But he listened for following footsteps. So his heart heavy with the weight of what he had done. Azrael dashed away from the building towards the nearby woods.

There was still work to be done, there was still a message to broadcast, and Azrael needed to secure the method of delivering that message.

(Anyone still inside the building by this point has one post to escape the explosion. Be very careful on how you escape, do it wrong and you will still be caught in the explosion. Good luck~ -Eli)

Nilo heard an explosion in the distance and then another one then another one Nilo knew this wasn't a prank anymore. She also knew that she couldn't just leave like everyone else she was also asked to help people evacuate. Nilo knew exactly what she had to do and she hoped that she could get as many people out of the building as possible even though she felt like she could only carry one at a time she would at least try to carry two. Nilo's wings then began to glow a dark blue as she activated her semblance and began flying down the hall grabbing the wrists of random students and flying them out of the building then flying back in to get more students. Nilo's only thought while doing this was I hope the others are doing okay and that they haven't been caught in an explosion. Nilo heard the explosions getting closer with every person that she brought out and knew that she didn't have much time left to get as many students out as she could. While going into the school for about the fifth time Nilo saw that the fire was spreading rather quickly and she would not be able to fly in those conditions so she went to the rest of the students who have evacuated into the courtyard. Nilo then looked back at the burning academy hoping that majority of the students were able to get out.
