Staring contest with thugs 2/2

It was a moment of contest of stares: (Imagine a short flash moment where the screen in divided on vertical strips, each one focused on the face of the five characters down on the field.) Where: Amelia eyes got this (Wait. What??!) expression. Kiara's eyes pupils vent pear like tinny in (Oh shit!!) expression. Calliope eye expression was telling: (I know that you don't rapping, Kusatori!) On contrast eye expression on Beelzebub and Gura says that: (This will be fun.)

.

In addition, there was an uproar in the surrounding audience when someone shouted: "This is what we were waiting for!!" Then mostly (girls?) from all corners around the road, leave they spots under the trees and approached the site of event, so close that they make an encirclement. One of the students steps onto the battle ring circle putting down a massive tape recorder whit a duo of speakers on side. They even had this cardboard box from shoes filled whit a cases from magnetic tapes containing music from various interprets. But from the first glance it was clear that those are all remakes without a lyrics.

.

.

Meanwhile the pink girl received a leather jacket and a (rapper?) cap to put them on. Binding her long hairs onto a ponytail she finished her transformation onto a rebellious rapper. No one noticed from where she put out the pitch black sun glasses. The final touch was grabbing the microphone in a cool pose of a duel challenger. She was like a different person, when the music starts to play and she rap onto it something about takings a life. Calliopes entry was spectacular; that it pushed the standards to entry this rap battle quite high. And crowd loved it. Whats more, she ended the rap in a cool pose of pro rapper.

It was nearly time for the transfer students to take theirs turn. But Watson don't seemed to be somehow interested to participate. Then her detective part noticed that the white-haired girl under her armpit is suspiciously calm. No, she was enjoying the performance and the shark tail was lightly swinging to sides even if the main body stay still. When the blonde glanced at the red haired she got the same conclusion. But when Amelia looked at Takanashi, she frowned. That girl was on panic mode, stunned whit sweating face, don't knowing what to do. Then as she look around on the other students who had genuine fun; it really dint seemed at that point like a school for delinquents. The eye-catching uniforms, and display of so many eye catching (fashion accessories?), on those characters feels like a carnival heaven for weebs. Or is a (rich school?) and they have a monster holidays week. So, those students were capable to take the costumes on another level. For some reason her eyebrow twitched in annoyance and she decided that she will participate anyway.

.

At step one, Watson put Gawr down to let that girl stands on her own legs. Then whit a straight face walked toward Mori and that music device. She give that music tapes collection only a short glance until she in a dry voice ask the DJ-girl if they have something dry and monotonous. And guess (What?), that DJ-girl nodded.

So~o, as the music starts to play, the blonde faced the rapper without shoving a single emotions. Seconds were passing and it was not just a dry music, but Watson expression, body language, and even emotions were dry, as she just stared at Mori. Then she raised that microphone toward her face finally doing something. 

It was not a singing or raping, but a reciting a heavy text into the rhythm, like a thong twister. It was all about fox in socks. 

After she finished her entry she just stretch her hand that hold the microphone toward the rapper and opened her palm. The stick fall onto the pavement making an unpleasant echo noise. Then the Blonde turns on her hell, shoving the challenger her back and without making a single word, gesture or emotion, she went back.

It was like delivering a cultural shock to everybody who expected a (normal rap?).

.

As Watson returns to the trio Gawr smirked. "Nice pop rap. That was a bold move to drop an old timers bomb. I like it." 

Without thinking the blonde bark back in a surprise. "That's a thing?!"

Pleased by that shocked outburst even Hakos give the taller girl a praise. "Yeah, you roll that duel so well that you are practically in. Now, that stranded status of yours, is no longer an obstacle." The red-haired girl grinned at the Watson, because that blonde girl had an expression of someone who secretly tried to fail on purpose by blowing up her own performance. But she actually nailed it as a success. "That yours last minute effort to back out from enrolling, exploded spectacularly. If you really thought that you can betray yourself and not making it obvious, then I recommending to observe yours audience."

As Watson glance at the girls around, her detective eyes noticed that nearly all of them had a calm but serious discussion valuating and analyzing the blonde performance from professional standpoint as if it was some kind of audition. There was no serious presence of bad opinion against the song, her manner, or something; that will lead to opinion where the students will demand her to leave the academy ground.

Or all this conspiracy theory was just a misunderstanding, a cultural shock on Watson side.

.

Then the Rat effortlessly got out from Takanashi hug, prompted the taller girl to put down that travel bag from her back, because next it was her turns. One can speculate how it was even possible for those duo of taller girls to sheep carrying the two smaller girls without them got a sore arms. And how they don't collapsed during the chase from all that additional weight. But don't mind that, because Hakos was already crafting a plan. She show her sinful smirk as she was observing Phoenix body from every angle, whit the eye of fashion professional. "Then, what we shall do, to reignite the flame of courage on this friend of us?"

Even Shark joined her staring at orange girl whit a thumb and point fingers under her chin. "God luck whit that. Calli is furious to the point that the blood rage aura is physical. Its almost feel like she is ready for some raw baking lesson, utilizing an open fire. I wonder if the tasty chicken smell will fill the entire courtyard."

Those comments were enough to put the girl in question on different thought track. "Well,-- that will be a novelty from her side."

Even Watson as she was observing the interaction from close, admitted that those trio of girls and probably the entire school body itself, are something else that she firstly assumed.

.

But Hakos throw her hands to the side in (I don't care.) gesture grinning wildly. "Nah, Calli now probably putting everything into intimidation. She probably trying to push this chick into her submission. To prevent her to discover an alternative route to bypass that sheriff's impenetrable road blocker. But these chicken like legs of yours will putt you onto a harsh spot if this was a running track. To bad that simple chicken dance don't marking highly. At last that butt is outstanding. Jealousy…" In teasing manner, Bae slapped Kiara on her ass cheek.

Gawr was like a true wing-men catching her teammate pace. "Ye~ah. I can tell that the butt is one of her strong race survival points in this social jungle." And like the red-haired, she to slapped that girl butt.

Phoenix dint mind this (violation?) of her back cheeks as it brought a needed realization that finally extinguished Takanashi panic. "Oh yeah, I can bet on my prided butt." What more, it fire up the chicken to make a theatrical entry. Like scratching the match to ignite the flame on the tinny wooden stick, the flame aura enveloped the orange haired girl like a torch. Whit the glow of determination in her eyes she shout on the opposite corner. "Calli!! You thinking you can freeze (me!!) by spooky atmosphere?! I am not afraid of cold rap! Because!… I am a professional twerker! [Butt shaking dancer.] And I will blast through this obstacle in ours eternal love whit burning passion in my heart!!" 

Regardless to the fact that the audience boom up in thrill of enthusiasm like on urban concert hall; the pink haired girl dint moved a muscle as if she was to cool to react. Or she already turned into a stone from a shock.

Watson overheard the short duo making comments in half-voice that they actually don't believed that the girl will take them seriously.

.

As Takanashi approached the center of the (ring), someone can state that he saw on one side of the arena a blazing inferno and on other an ice cold blizzard.

Even if Mori tried to stop her opponent, the Phoenix was like in her element, and just turned the entire (front courtyard?) into her concert stage, by choosing sparkly music and twerk dance. She literally sing about sparking up a life. Like a campfire on camping in a cold night weather, she become instantly popular.

.

Just from the applause of audience when she finished her performance, anyone can assume that she passed the duel challenge.

But… Mori already decided to not let Kiara enroll onto the school. "Fridge this shit! Its time to do this, the old school stile." As she snaps her fingers, someone from the audience circle step in and had over to her a (death scythe?). Reaper was deadly serious. Her her red eyes pupils had a red glow, she emitted a grim aura, and she slowly, sisterly walked toward Phoenix. "I doing this for you own good, Takanashi! We will meet again. But on another time."

The Orange girl was ready to counter react to the fight challenge reaching for her bag. But then, she noticed that someone whit a strong aura of presence entered that combat ring.

A tall blue-haired lady that is to perfectly cool for her own good [Kronii Ouro, Warden of Timeless chambers], put down her foot behind Mori. (The loud knock of her shoe onto the pavement, echoed through the ring like a water drop hitting a pool of water in a silent underground cavern.) She was ready to place her hand on the pink-haired girl shoulder, if it was needed. "Its sounds like somebody here is loosing to a transfer student."

A green-haired girl whit a big sister persona from yours happy dreams [Fauna Ceres, Keeper of Nature park], approached Mori from behind the other shoulder and she to, put her foot down. "Or you sulking from fact, that they don't accepted yours whims? Sweeping aside your own challenge by theirs own style?"

Next was a big exotic girl carrying on her chest a to big woman pride. That pair of her shall be considered as world class, hinting that this big girl must have a big appetite. [Sana Tsukumo, speaker of Space Program] "This explain why the auditorium was nearly empty. All of them vent onto life action outside."

The last one was brow haired adventurer. [Mumei Nanashi, guardian of civilization (something, something) or guardian of (romantic secrets)] "The council is here. Bite it or flee."

.

The reaper was ready to bark at them to (Stay away!!), but she unhappily clicked her tongue when she noticed that this students from the council had they hands already placed on theirs (thematic weapons). They arrived here already prepared to fight.

Mori tried to swallow this setback and withdraw from the scene, but she dint make a single step, because Hakos stood in front of her. And she was grinning victoriously. "Girl, you lost! Now is time for you to pay for you actions." Of course the tall girl tried to freeze Rat whit a delinquent level state: (Are you picking a fight with me, punk?!) But the short girl dint backed as she shout. "Its forbidden to hunt on school perimeter."

.

But this time, the rapper bark back. "Bullshit!! She is not a student. Not if I can say something to this! So don't even try to smooth talk any (BS) to me!"

To confront that statement, Nanashi just raised her hand with a paper as an evidence. "Bad news. We found the report. She was scouted."

.

The moment Mori read the name of who dared to do that despicable feat, she imagined a picture of certain half-angel half-devil girl who travel a lot. She saw how she whispering (a seductive hope) onto ears of promised talents. They don't even needed to know about theirs musical affinity, for her to saw the potential. Like planting a seeds of curse called a destiny. But as angelic that one is, she is also a diabolical one with a clear presence of side agenda to troll. So Calliope hissed and scream with anger. "Iry~~~ys!!" She quickly redirect her wrath on the red haired person in front of her, denying the idea of Takanashi to enroll. "No!! Listen to me!! No mater what IRyS (BS) to you; Kusatory [Shity bird], is a bad news to this academy. Do you understand how much chaos it will bring?!"

The red-haired girl rolled around her eyes. "Do you not realizing that you calling her by a nicknames? Second, the questions issuing any possible chaos was throw out window by director herself when she wrapped my name on it. Overreaction loosed at that point its importance." Then it was her who put down her feet as she raised a warning finger towards the rapper. "Do you really think that you can just mess with their road, to not found the academy and call it a day? Just who do you think is the chaos harbinger at this incident?" The pink haired girl leaned back having expression of someone who got caught doing mischief. And Hakos continued to school her. "I don't judging your intentions. I judging the slacked off plan. Just how many favors you spend on this failed attempt? That's a bad point for you for sloppy planing. Even if I am an observer I must speak up. Its a time for you to take the responsibility. I think that the Myth dormitory finally founds its occupants."

.

On spot Mori got cold serious, glaring down at the girl in cold anger. "So that's was you agenda? To make us a team?" She give herself a second as her fist clenched to much tight cried. Then she exhaled out a small cloud of frozen breath. "God luck next time smooth talker. I only wanted to challenge Kusatori, but you make this a team fight. So guess (What?). The match is over and two from your team dint even participate. Its your lose and my victory."

This comment make Crony to react, looking unsatisfied. "Oh shut. Its all over already? Did we miss the entire show? I really thought that we make it on time."

Fauna spoke up with a point finger on her chin. "I don't think so. We just arrived here as a support in case of an unannounced raid."

Even Sana tilled her head on side in a cute way. "Did anybody stop anything? I wanted to see the match. So if the dispute is not solved yet… Hm…"

.

The pink haired girl glance over her shoulder, giving them all (I see what are you doing there!) glare. She was going to bark a punch line, something about entry as duet at red-haired and white-haired… But the two in question already saw through her as they as one barked at her that she digging her own grave.

Whats more Gawr already picked up a tape and uttered to her partner in this challenge a single word in question that must means a name of sing on witch the other node. Mori tried to appeal at the shark but, the girl with a tail grinned. "Sorry buddy, you knew well that its not in my nature to losing a fight."

So those two join the challenge and turns the supposed rap battle into a concert by dancing as duo, singing about courage to have a sweet appetite.

It was so success in audience that the rapper rise her head toward the sky and cry-shout onto heavens. "Why me!??"

.

In a moment when Takanashi realized they won, she grabbed Watson who was stiffly standing there as if in shock and start to shake her in (We got in! We won!) gesture; the brown haired girl from the council approached them. "Hi, I Mumei…" She clearly focused her (owl stare?) onto the blonde as if she was trying to see into her. "We dint found anything about you. Yet…" She was suspiciously blunt using the same tone. "Checking the archive just for a single application is doom like dumb. Going down there and hopping to found anything is a to much a hustle. So we let you stay as an exchange student. For now... We put you as somebody roommate so you will stay under the officials radars line of sight. That shall solve a lot of future problems. But remember: Its nothing strange about straying, if you are true to who you are... Don't get eaten..." That last one dint sound like a warning or threatening, but the next line had that feeling: "And don't tell Crony! Never!..."

Watson with cold sweating face involuntarily make a step back. That stare and speech nearly forced her to swallow on empty. "Why are you all acting so benevolently? Like I am some kind of protagonist?"

.

That girl tilted her head to the side so much that it looked impossible for a normal human. "What the heck are you talking about?" Nanashi quickly restored her head as if nothing happened. "First of all, when bureaucracy is exchanged by condition of pursuing a talent, a lots of breaks on academic development of the individuals are removed as long as results are made. And second; I give an opportunity of doubt, because you can still be in shock. So listen closely!" She turn toward the short duo who still celebrate they victory and she snaps her fingers. 

Hakos rat ears twitched as the girl grinned while she turn her head in they direction. "So you really don't know? You are such a treat." In mere second she put herself into a role of public speaker grabbing everyone attention. "Listen everybody!! Its time!" With an elegance of street performer or announcer in circus, (only the cylinder hat was missing), she pointed at the two transfer students, as if it was a theatrical entry. "Kiara Takanashi… Amelia Watson… Welcome!!... To the Harp Academy!… A place where everyone is... a diva level protagonist."

It was a punch line call, where everyone around make theirs (trademark) protagonist like pose that emphatic they persona.

The blonde girl whit a worried expression look around and then got freaked up when even Takanashi instantly make the same pose, staring at her whit her gloving eyes. Then, under the pressure of everybody stares, she gives up making a sigh. "Oh shut!" Then for the first time she was around the crazy phoenix, she make a good smile joining the rest in her own (trademark) protagonist like pose.
