After much more thought into the night, Laura devised a hypothesis.
(A secret relationship, Clara Steelford's involvement with Shin Morima, going places alone, the strongest students...)
Laura turned her head to the side where her alarm clock was.
7.20 am.
(!!!!)
Seeing the time on her clock, Laura quickly got out of bed, threw off her nightgown, and dashed towards the bathroom.

"Thank you my lady", Shin bowed to the girl who intervened.
"You're welcome", she lowered her wand and took a step inside the classroom filled with students surprised at the situation one after another.
(It would be better if there were less people here)
She came within talking distance and took a good look at Rank 1 of the first years of Atlisian Academy.
"My name is Laura Bernard, nice to meet you Shin Morima" she introduced herself.
"Likewise, Lady Bernard" he smiled.
After that meeting, Laura managed to get herself to join Shin's group during lunch, and have a conversation with each member of that table while enjoying her meal.
"So, how was it?"
"He is unexpectedly casual for someone with the highest rank in our year" replied Laura, sitting at a cafe with a dim yellow glow.
"Well, he is not from a well-renowned household after all"
"But he is undoubtedly powerful"
(And a pervert) she didn't voice that last part herself as it is a personal problem for her, and likely all women kind out there.
Throughout their conversation and walk, Shin would eye every woman around them including the ones near him with subtle glances that are hard to decipher, but for Laura who is trained to notice the changes in a person's eyes, she can tell where he is looking when he turns towards her and the others.
She is aware that she has certain 'parts' that many desires, both men and women alike which always made her feel uncomfortable when lust or envy are directed towards her from time to time.
(But seeing as how he eyes every woman around, and the way Ms. Steelford is making sure that he stops goggling at them)
Shin Morima, is under the control of Clara Steelford.

"Amazing, Ms. Bernard certainly knows how to tell the true nature of a person in such a short period of time" said the student who approached her.
Laura managed to find the female student who had contacted her previously in order to get her contact information while doing her investigation, at first the conversation was formal and short but after some time, the girl began talking more casually with her.
It was also around that time that the girl introduced her to some of her colleagues.
"I simply met up with him and judged him based on how he acted with me and those around him. To think that he would be under the control of Ms.Steelford is outrageous if I haven't seen it for myself"
"Then does that mean, you will help us?"
"Yes, I would like to help you and your group to rescue Shin Morima from Clara Steelford"
"Great, then let's meet the rest of them"

(Huh?), opening her eyes a few seconds after the crash, Laura found herself standing where she was with her outstretched hand with a wand, but the person in front of her had disappeared.
"?" she then turned around to look at the classroom which had quieted down as the students turned to look in one particular direction altogether.
Slowly she turns to where they are looking at, the scene slowly enters her field of vision.
Shin Morima is laying next to a creator on a wall.
(How is this possible?) she couldn't believe the sight, the strongest student of the first years was thrown off balance and thrown against the wall?!
".....", Shin who seems to be in shock gets up slowly and looks around him, the room, the students, and Laura.
"Everyone stop what you are doing" a voice interrupted the silent atmosphere causing them to turn towards the source of the voice.
Panting the person straightened himself and walk into the room with an air of authority, this makes everyone hesitant to stop him from entering the battlefield, then other people began filing into the room following him all dressed in a similar fashion.
Dark overcoat that is designed to reach the waist hangs around the shoulder, held together with a rope of grey color.
(The disciplinary group?) Shin realized on the spot of the group after his head is cleared from the headache.
"Anyone who chooses to ignore this will face punishment, so put down your weapons and distance themselves from each other immediately", the leader of the group who doesn't seem as intimidating as the one declaring in the first place is now issuing orders to the students in the room.
".....", some students look at each other confused and not sure what to do at the sudden interruption and turn of their previous situation.
Shin watched as the leader of the group began looking around worriedly at the students around him choosing to ignore his command and began glaring at each other.
Then something sounded across the room, a student can be seen falling onto the ground, weapon clanging onto the fall after being thrown across the room.
"Drop it!" the disciplinary member shouted at a random student nearby, causing him to immediately drop it upon seeing what will happen to him, the next victim.
Soon, a chorus of weapons clanging against the ground began.
