Walking down towards the front Sky heard a whistle coming from Wesley as she rolled her eyes and turned to face the entire class brushing a strand of blonde hair back from her face "So my name is Sky Tensai leader of Team SALT" "Wooo yeah baby!" this time it was Dano as the Professor glared at them silencing their entire squad as she simply shook her head. "So my semblance is actually another manipulation of weather like Mitch's and helps me battle with my weapon. She held up two circular chakrams which were coloured bright yellow with streaks of pink through them while the edges were wicked sharp despite looking blunt.
Tossing them through the air her eyes began to glow a bright white colour as a sudden gust of wind flowed into the classroom and as she directed her fingers the chakrams would ride the stream of wind using them to fly around the room as they came racing back towards her while she caught them mid air.
"Oh my marvellous we have two elemental manipulators in this class indeed truly amazing are there any others around?" "Say Ania I've seen you manipulate ice perhaps you could show that off?" Tom whispered as Ania glared at him which he somehow learnt that meant keep quiet and butt out as he turned back to the front of the classroom to find Sky staring up at him smiling like she expected some kind of response. Tom did the only thing he recalled Alan teaching him and gave her a thumbs up grinning as he swore he saw her face go a shade of pink as Mitch leaned across and nudged him "Hey buddy seems you made her embarrassed by doing that I think she has a thing for you".
"Ah I've learned what this thing for means so she likes me then more than a friend?" "I'd say so buddy but let's ask your female teacher" Mitch turned to Ania who looked at both of them "Umm duh I don't think it could be anymore obvious question is how do you feel about her" "Well I like her as a friend but I don't know about love wise how does one tell when you're in love?" "I dunno butterflies in your stomach, getting excited seeing them and being happy in their presence stuff like that" Mitch said as Ania stared at him eyes wide open "What?" "I didn't think you'd know anything about love" "Heh well I guess I do" with that the bell rang for the end of class as he immediately leapt up and walked out not saying another word.
"Hmmm I'll have to sit and dwell on this feeling of love and get back to you, I suppose that is my homework for the night then" "Errr yeah sure that's your homework figure out what love is and if you have any romantic feelings for Sky" Ania then grabbed Alan and walked out as Sky came racing up to Tom "So, so what did you think of my semblance?" "I thought it was pretty amazing and combines well with your weapon to create a pretty useful ability to fight with". Sky let out a squeal as she hugged Tom who simply stood there confused wondering what to do as he awkwardly patted her back while Sky stepped back turning red again "S..sorry about that" "Oh no it's fine I've just never been hugged by a female before".
The two of them walked off towards a park bench to sit and chat before the next class began as Tom remembered what Ania told him about getting to know a female and decided if he did that perhaps he would find if he had these 'feelings' for Sky like she had towards him.
As they stepped out Mitch watched them walk away while he leant against the wall his flask in his hand as he took a swig "Heh young love blossoming how sweet" "Do I sense sarcasm in your voice?" Ania spoke from behind as he spun around eyes flaring as she stepped back shocked by his reaction "What do you want!" he snapped "Sorry I didn't mean to annoy you?" "It's fine I just need some time alone" with that he walked off as Alan came racing over "Hold up Mitch wait for me" "Leave him be" Ania held her hand out as Alan stopped "Ah I guess he needs some time to himself" "He's probably gotten used to secluding himself when things happen so we should respect that or he'll pull further away from us" Ania mentioned before turning back around "Come on let's grab a bite to eat before combat class".
Tom and Sky found a bench as they both sat down looking out over the gardens of the academy while Sky nervously fidgeted with her hands. "S…so Tom what does your family do for a living?" "Well they run a successful dust company but I was trained to become a hunter instead of taking over the family business since we needed someone to defend the caravans from Grimm attacks" "Ohhhh I've heard that your armour has dust embedded into it is that because of them" "Yeah they mastered the ability to infuse dust so practically all my armour and weapons have dust abilities".
"Wow that's a far more interesting family lifestyle than me" Sky mentioned as Tom was curious to hear what her family did "So what does your family do then?" "Oh mine well nothing overly important both of my parents are well teachers at the signal academy so I was practically prepared to go there from the time my siblings and I were born" "Wow really your parents were teachers there can't recall if I had any of them" "You probably did but considering you never knew my last name you wouldn't remember".
"Are your siblings still attending there?" "I'm the oldest then it's my brother who is 15 and my youngest sister is 13 and they're following in my footsteps as well". Tom could relate to having parents expecting the best from their kid as his parents pushed him to the very limits when he was training and studying "Don't worry I know what it's like to have parents who expect the very best from you mine pushed me to be the best as well".
Sky leaned back against the bench and sighed "It's tough isn't it" "Sometimes it can be but then I remember if I do well I'll be making my parents proud so that strives to make me continue going" "Huh I guess I never thought of it that way" Sky smiled as suddenly Tom felt his heart skip a beat as he looked down "Huh what was that I've never felt that before…." Suddenly he thought something might be wrong with him as he jumped up and nearly stumbled over "Ermm I forgot something at the dorm for combat class so I'll umm see you" with that he ran off leaving Sky wondering what happened as Tom never lost his composure like that before.
