2:25 PM, Akizo Tonamiya. Japanese class has started, this is the one class I am not good at, I just don't have the energy to write all of this. I always wish for a ring during this class but it never seems to happen until I'm sleeping or on my way to school, "What a bummer". I can't help but notice how my right arm seems to be under more and more strain every day, I would assume this is because of my antidote, the thing only works for 12 hours and then it will stop working, I just don't have the resources to make a permanent one yet, I'm only in high school after all. The next morning I woke up on the floor, my bed was a mess and my legs were asleep. To make things worse, my antidote had worn off again.
1 week later, 4:17 PM. My right arm has stabilized at a usable level, it's slow and not exactly amazing but it works, I am requested to work with a partner for 3 months for my recovery, and a ranger has requested to work with me already. What a lucky break. I also heard that outbreaks across Osaka are going to rise from 2-3 p-day to 3 p-day, it's nothing crazy but it will put a few more of us out there, I may even get one during Japanese class *smile*. My physics teacher was still rambling on about the Studies of Bridge building, "You are going to have to team up with another student to work on your presentations. But, the teams are going to be random". Most people hate it when teachers do that but for me, it's no problem because nobody would ever want to team up with me if they had the chance to choose so anyway, maybe the teacher pitied me and thus decided we were going to have fixed groups. (Not much later) Here we are, my partner is the low-mark blond girl, Inisha. It's not that I dislike her, but my bridge is going to be held back by her, oh well it's not like I can't teach her plus, there are a few questions I wanted to ask her anyway, so I guess it's a win. "Hey, Akizo, I wanted to ask you a question" Wait what? "I was wondering if you are that Rank 3 #2 Akizo guy". "Yes, I am, w-wait, how do you know that?" Then it dawned on me... She must be that girl I worked with, Inisha with the enhancement ability I started to feel stupid. "I recognized your name and you also looked like a student here when I saw you fight the wolf in class" Ah, that makes sense, "I was actually going to ask you a question as well, it was about how you managed to hurt the wolf and why I felt really powerful that day, but now I have my answer". "Also" Inisha added, "I was actually the one who requested for us to be partnered rangers, I want to know more about you". So it was her, huh, I wouldn't have guessed. "I get that but do you know how handicapped I am with this arm?"; "Yeah, of course, I do, like I said, I was the one who requested to help you while you were recovering". "Well then, we'll meet after we defeat the next beast and I'll tutor you on bridges, sound good?" *quickly* "Yeah~".
8:42 PM. "So this is where you live huh, it's a pretty nice apartment" "I wouldn't say it's nice but I guess you could say it is good, Oh yeah, and, my little sister is here too, she visits every Friday and stays until Monday. Our parents are pretty busy and before I moved we were pretty close, she likes to come to visit as much as she can, and it also puts a load off of our parents".
8:44 PM, Inisha Iroha. As we step into the apartment, I notice three things. one, It is suuupeeer tidy. two, it smells amazing here. Three, his little sister is sooo cute, she looks only about 10, I wonder what she does all day. "Hey Tona, is she your girlfriend?"... *Flustered* "Why would you assume the first person I bring has to be my girlfriend, you should know I have no friends Suma". "That is true, I guess you're right, but then why did you bring a girl here?" "She just so happens to be my study partner and temporary ranger partner for the time being". Girlfriend? Interesting deduction from a 10-year-old, we only just met pretty much, I don't even know his hobbies. His sister seems cute but I guess she also has a jumpy personality too, "Hello whittle Suma, how is your day going" I cheerfully said. *Serious* "Don't give Tona a hard time, he may look calm, cool, and collected but he can and will break character when he is pushed to his short limit, it's not his fault either, there are just a few things that should be left forgotten". Wow, where did she get this serious side from, the hierarchy of this home might not be what I thought it was, but now I feel stupid for treating her like a little child. "Ok, you can call me Inisha, I am here to study with Akizo tonight, I hope you don't mind me staying over for a few hours?". "No problem Ina" Ina? That's fine I guess. We studied, I mean, he taught me for hours, Suma would come by every now and then to see what we were doing, she seemed pretty interested in bridges, maybe I could tutor her one day. I also learned more about Akizo, he was a simple guy, he never over-complicated things and would wait for me to fully grasp something before trying to teach me another thing. It must have been 2 AM by the time I finally learned the last of the material. Suma had fallen asleep at the door, "I'm going to put Suma to bed, you can do whatever while you wait". "Oki~" Am I starting to feel comfortable around here? I guess I am, I even started to feel like sleeping right here on the floor. But I don't think Akizo would like that, Just as I was reconsidering it, Akizo walked in "Do you want me to bring you back? I'm not very tired right now". "Sure, that sounds nice" What am I thinking, I can get back on my own. As we were halfway there I realized that he only lived 3 minutes walking distance away... How convenient. "Alright, this is it, see you at physics". "Ok," what a simple answer from such a complicated guy. Well, I'll have more time while building the bridge to converse. It was sure a fun night, I'll be looking forward to the next and maybe even more to come.
