"Yours? He just complained about how restrictive a sport can be!" Came another girl dressed in shorts and a tank top. "In the MMA club you can fight much more freely!"
Didn't take long for a brawl to essuie, the sports clubs fighting each other for the two best athletes of the school as far as they could see.
Issei fixed his glasses and offered Shirou his bag back. "I suggest that we leave." Shirou nods and turns to Setsuna.
"Yeah, I don't think I'm joining any of those clubs." The fist fights were growing in intensity and to Fujimura's credit she was trying to stop it… only to join in on the brawl.
"You aren't?" At Setsuna's question Shirou nods prompting her to place a hand on her chin. "Then I suppose I won't either. None of these people presented me with a challenge and it would be pointless."
'Ah, the same problem I have.' After thinking that Shirou asked her. "Don't you have anything you enjoy doing?"
"Never had the chance to find that much in my life. I spend most of the time training with my twin sister… Usually we did what she wanted but now I am in another town and we are separated for the first time in my life." Her eyes looked to the horizon, reminiscing old times.
"Why is that?" Issei wondered. "Even I, living in a temple, am allowed to find my own path."
With that Setsuna looked at Issei's uniform, seeing no pin, she answered. "My sister will inherit our family business… as a spare I also was taught a lot."
"That is…" issei had no comment but Setsuna looked at Shirou with a raised eyebrow and then pointed at the pin. He figured she wanted to talk more openly.
"Issei, why don't you go and look for the student council?" Shirou didn't want to be rude.
"Yes, maybe we should find them or another teacher to help deal with that mess." None wanted anyone to get hurt but in the way that was escalating it was bound to happen.
"Good idea." Setsuna interject. "Go to the school and try to find someone there. I am almost sure I know where one of the teachers is." While both Shirou and Issei wanted to say there was already one on the premises, Taiga was already too deep to be trusted on being the voice of reason.
"Then we all should go there." Issei affirmed.
"While that may be for the best they may not be there anymore and we can't waste time. I will have Shirou-san with me for help while you go for the guaranteed route." A small lie all things considered.
Shirou could see that Issei didn't want to leave a friend but it would be for the best in this instance, especially if it would help deal with the brawl. "Go Issei. You want to join the council then you need to show initiative. Staying here and controlling a mob won't do that."
"Alright. But find a club to join! You hear me?" With that he went back to the school and Shirou looked at the mess that was getting even bigger. For what he could see one of the tents around was knocked down and the students there joined.
"Anything we can do about that?" The woman shakes her head.
"I have no skill for hypnosis. You?" His silence was telling. "Then let us go and find someone responsible for this place."
"To be honest I doubt a teacher is going to be able to control this." Setsuna looks at him with a raised eyebrow.
"We are going to look for one of the devils who rule this place. They will be able to help or at least send someone to deal with it." Then she starts to walk, expecting Shirou to follow.
At the mention of 'devil' some possibilities jumped in Shirou's head and he checked his cellphone, no calls so far, not even a message. He was supposed to meet with Rias but no news so far… is she expecting him to find her.
"How do you know where we can find a," Shirou looks around to check if no one would hear him, "devil?"
"I can smell mana." Now Shirou was interested.
"I can do that too but there is too much around." Setsuna stopped and looked at him, giving him a real analytic look. After a few seconds Shirou couldn't help but ask. "What?"
Turning her head she sighs. "You are human right?" After the nod she says. "I can't smell mana on you, only steel… how does a human end up using smell as their detection sense?"
"It was just a thing I picked up." Shioru didn't remember why he started using his nose to detect mana fluctuations but here he was.
"There are a lot of devil presences in the school," Setsuna is walking again and Shirou follows, "we are going to the one that is most distant and is easier to locate. Either they will be able to resolve the problem or take us to someone who really can."
"Why the most distant one?"
"Because there are too many smells to properly find one in the school." He couldn't disagree with that logic, she may be able to find those 'smells' better than him but a packed place is going to be harder and can be potentially overwhelming.
"Didn't you bring a backpack?" Part of Shirou wanted to be told that too, but at least he had his lunch.
"I was told that for the first day there would be no classes. Didn't see the point." Part of Shirou wanted to be told that too, but at least he had his lunch.
Both of them started to move to the woods, there was a small forest inside the school and Shirou felt nostalgic for a moment.
'Didn't know other schools had those. But this one is bigger.' He decides to say. "I have the number of a devil on my phone. If we don't find anyone willing to help I can call her."
