Sayuri found herself standing up together with everyone, shouting, 'Protect Kyle' along with everyone else. Inside, however, she was grimacing and wincing but she had to blend in.
<Protect Kyle my foot> she thought to herself <I'll certainly protect him. From my punches and kicks!!>
She started thinking of his pained face should she actually kick him and that made her smile. To everyone else, she appeared to be enthusiastically joining in and they banded together as one.
After Assembly, the first-year students were ushered to their classrooms by the Prefects. As for Sayuri, who was amongst the second years yet, was new, she did not know where to go. She did have a map and she knew where Sage Class was, but she was unsure whether she was meant to go there now or was she expected to join the second years first?
