Career Aptitude

Akali stands next to Tiyo in front of a green house with plants and 3 other assistants in the room.

"Some of you might not know you're a natural at farming or even have a passion for it probably because you haven't tried it yet.

"I'll start with this plant I'm sure you guys already know this is a rose, cool right? Or probably a bore, who knows? We'll give you guys a few seconds to look around the room and show you how it works around here.

"If you don't like nature don't force yourself too we still have many other departments to visit I'll keep my speeches short and give you more time to get acquainted with all the different programs that we have."

The group is split into trio's working on a plant one by one Setsuno can already tell who's interested and who's not.

He walks over to Rou's group who show no interest at all, "Ladies, this isn't to your liking?"

Rou shakes her head, "I'm not the hands-on type."

Setsuno nods asking the others what they like doing, "It's okay to not be the handsy kind if this isn't for you we'll find what is, but please give it a try have a little fun this isn't a torture chamber roll with it."

Tiyo looks at the plant and flicks it, "I've never seen a rose plant so bouncy, what's that all about?"

Setsuno smirks, "Sharp eyes definitely don't belong in here. These plants are made from a special type of soil found in Musha Cay it's really amazing what it does for plants."

Tiyo looks around, "So, this greenhouse isn't for the plants it's for the soil."

Setsuno nods giving him a blue card, "Head west and ask for Detective Shaung I think you'll have more fun that side."

Akali groans and turns to Setsuno, "I'm not really good at anything and I don't know what I like, but I know what I don't like, where do I fit in?" Akali looks around hoping for an answer.

"From your choice of words you sound like you don't mind working in a group with others and you seem to want to work in a group. To fit in.

"Have you tried going with the flow and just following your friends?

"It's okay to do that you're happiest when you're with your friends so follow them. Learn from them to learn more about yourself I can guarantee that by the end of the school year you'll know what you want.

"You're allowed to change your mind so take your time and take as many chances I'll help you figure it out."

Setsuno's comforting smile alleviates the pressure she felt to pick a career by the end of the day she looks around before turning back to her plant now there's only two of them since Tiyo was moved away.

Setsuno is thinning the heard talking to them one by one seeing the way they react to the plants and the things they say about it, "Anyone who thinks this is not for them follow me, anyone interested stay."

Setsuno moves on to the hospitality section there's a small make shift restaurant as well as back room with a salon and Spa, "In here you'll be serving the group of people about to walk in here sort yourselves out on how you'd make money out of this. I'll be back in an hour."

Medley sits in front of the nail studio, "This is the only thing I'm good at so I'll stick to my guns."

Rou follows suit volunteering to be a massage therapist, "My ability is called Soothe so I'm pretty sure it's best for that."

Akali scratches the back of her head, "I have no idea where I fit in here."

"Those who don't know what to do will be Waitresses this side. Those with experience with hair or think they know something about it stay this side we'll take three hair dressers and maybe two barbers.

"We need chefs in the kitchen and we need to decide what kind of food we'll be selling any volunteers?" Dasai stands in front of the group with a note pad and a pen.

He lists four waiters depending on the size of the shop and the amount of room available, 3 chefs volunteer and 2 counter workers. "I hate to say it but we need a clean up crew too, anybody good with maintenance?"

"I come from a family of mechanics and I help out with the administration I don't know what you mean by maintenance, but when it comes to paper work I'm all set."

Dasai puts him aside, "One thing at a time, maintenance includes clean up and repairing any damaged things around, point one the air conditioner is either off or not working, the ventilation system is either clogged or all of you people smell like horse crap.

"We weren't told what time the place opens so Admin you go to the kitchen and take someone with an ability that can come up with a quick menu for us and make one, don't half ass it, we serve the best of the best even on a half baked business."

A Blue haired female raises her hand, "I like fashion so I'll join the cleaning crew so we can decorate the place nicely with Yukari's ability after she's done with the Menu.

"Waiters should also fall under clean up because they are the ones who work here they'll know how to arrange the tables so there's freedom of movement and enough space between customers.

"They will also be the ones who know who spilled what, when, and why?"

Dasai nods leaving the restaurant and taking the rest of the students to the salon. "If you guys can't find something to do consider yourselves unemployed there's a lot of work that needs to be done and you still haven't decided on what you want, what do we do with you?"

The four students left look around the place, "We're the maintenance crew everyone knows what to do."

Dasai writes them down on the list. "Everyone has a position let's make magic happen that's the motto of out shop, and can someone do something about having the salon so close to the restaurant peoples hair will fly into the food not to mention the hair dryer and it's noise pollution.

"Admin you're not just behind the desk sweetheart you need to know that we have enough shampoo and hair products, what if these things have a sell by date and we need new products so admin and maintenance figure out how you solve that.

"Chefs! Are all the ingredients here?"

"There's nothing. No food, no make up, no hair products, and tools. We've got nothing."

Dasai checks the time and empties his pocket, "Alright, I'll handle the finances let's take what we have and hurry to the shops each department make a list of all the items you'll need.

"We'll buy enough for three customers the money we make from that will cover the costs for the next and we'll use profits for the tools to fix up the air conditioning.

"For now can we find people who will be errand boys as well as people to divide these two places and people to make a false air conditioner until it's fixed."

Akali holds up Izumi's car keys, "I'm good at pick pocketing and he still has a full tank, I'll drive."

Dasai smirks, "I'm impressed Neon well done, put it back with a full tank though we have to make it look like it never left."

She nods smiling getting in the car with Dasai and two others driving to a pawn shop buying used hair dryers and extension cords before stopping by the bulk buy shop stocking up on anything they can find at an affordable price.

"We could use those relaxers instead of those." Akali shows Dasai the cheaper ones over the more expansive ones.

Dasai shakes his head, "If we use these we'll attract customers with money and we can overcharge and they won't question it. We use these expansive products to attract expansive customers and we'll have enough money to split amongst ourselves at the end of the day.

"Do keep in mind that before we split the cash we'll have to repay the people who contributed towards starting up the business their money first meaning if we don't make profits no one is getting any money."

Akali nods, "I know a guy who'll bring us customers seconds after opening time add those products to accommodate those who won't be able to afford your high price and don't put so much faith in a bunch of armatures we might disappoint customers."

Dasai rolls his eyes, "Last resort Kansaki uses his charm ability to cool off any unsatisfied customers, we're making a profit no matter what."

Kai is in the engineering section helping out with putting apart a so-called stolen car for parts.

"Kai, I know you're busy, but could you tweet about our Salon and restaurant and invite people? I'll text you the menu and the types of styles we offer."

Kai nods taking Rou's number tweeting about the restaurant after she sends him a text and picture about the salon and spa.

Rou snatches his phone adding more tweets and reviews before giving it back. "Thank you." She pecks his lips leaving him confused and dumb struck.

Setsuno comes back from his lunch break and finds the place packed.

They were smart and used Nezukou's illusion ability to make the place look completely different changing themes every so often since her illusions disappear after a certain time .

The Theme is that they make magic happen so they have a fiction themed décor all around blinding guests from the fake fan they are using.

Dasai keeps writing down costs talking to Akali every so often.

Ava adds a new item on the Menu moving from nail dressing to the kitchen to handle deserts. "With the waffle maker I'll make magic happen for sure."

3 hours after opening people are still coming in but Setsuno announces it's closing time putting the closed sign outside their shops.

"With this you guys will have to continue next week do keep in mind you'll be coming here once a week. The money you made was yours so we won't even ask how much you made. Talk it out and I'll see you after an hour by the bus."

An hour later the group is standing outside ready to leave.

"I know we made a loss you guys, but fact is we now know how to work this shit out and turn things around we were caught of guard and thrown for a loop we have a week to get our shit together so I suggest doing some job shadowing and next week we'll be prepared.

"I doubt they'll give us all day like today so let's set an opening and closing time and we'll rock this city next week, what do you say?"

Dasai groans not happy with the numbers while Kansaki gets everyone psyched for next week.

"Cheer up minister of finance we'll do better next time and admit it you had fun."

"This would be even more fun if we made a profit, we made a loss."

Akali chuckles, "You still had fun, admit it."

Dasai sighs, "Fine, yeah I did. We got the best reviews from the massage therapy and the make up so I think we should give Rou, Medley, Ethan and the behind the scenes team a round of applause you guys were the real MVPs of the day."

Izumi gives a big round of applause and smiles. "I wish I could've seen it all congratulations I think you've found your passions, but there's still more to explore have a safe trip back and I hope you enjoyed the first day of your Third year."

Tiyo nods. "I had a lot of fun I was sure I'd regret enrolling to this school am I glad I was proven wrong."

Kai smiles, "It was tough, but I finally learned how to hijack a car."

Everyone turns to Kai and he laughs. "Now that I think of it, we learned all the ways we could cheat using our abilities here, but it was still fun."

Izumi slow claps, "You're still in deep shit for stealing my car."

Akali puts up her hands, "You have your keys on you don't start getting cheeky with us, can we get on the bus already I'm exhausted."

Saito and Rex yawn.

"Where were you two?" Tiyo asks and Rex looks away.

"We don't want to talk about it."

Setsuno walks out to say goodbye to the group eating one of the beef burgers they made he was the last customer of the day, "This is really good, if you can do a delivery service you'd make money out of the doctors here especially since you open during their lunch time."

Akali smiles at Setsuno, "He's a really cool guy I can see why you guys like him so much we barely talked since he came back because he jumped straight into work, but in the few moments we talked today he made an impression."

"Eyes off anyone but me No Chest or I'm ringing his neck."

Akali elbows Kai and he pecks her cheek.

"I told you before and I'll say it again I don't mind your chest, seriously quit being so worried about it."

Akali looks away waiting to get on the bus. "You're still not my type." She comments half way back to school since Kai chose to sit next to her on the bus.

"I am, you just don't know it yet."

The bus arrives at the campus and the fatigue starts to settle in on everyone Rex and Saito fell asleep the whole way making others curious all the more about what they were doing today.

Kai takes Akali's hand before she wonders off after getting off the bus.

"Kai I don't like you like that."

He smiles pecking her cheek, "Fine, but don't forget that you rejected me in the near future." He walks back to his room with Rex who's too exhausted to judge Kai right now. "What the hell were you doing?"

Rex shakes his head, "Not happening buddy it's my secret."

Ken walks into the hospital with Tori and Xavier to find Roku who put Yuno to sleep checking on the twins. "What's wrong? Is she okay? Are they?" Ken asks with a worried tone of voice.

"Everything is okay this was his idea he wants to monitor their growth, eventually my father will come for them he will sense them again and it's inevitable we want to estimate how long till that happens."

Ken lifts Yuno's shirt, "No one knows her body more than her, what do we do when she notices this small bump? She's thinking of going back to the gym."

Izumi looks closely, "I didn't notice until you brought it up, that's the least of our worries we forgot to account for the heartbeat, how long do we have until then?"

Roku swings the pocket watch back and forth, "The next time it moves again it's guaranteed to be there."

Xavier and Tori observes as the three men plot and plan.

Tori is in the habit of imitating what he sees and hears he stands with his hands in his pockets like Ken his innocent eyes observing his every move.

Ken turns his attention to the boys Xavier looks sleepy and Tori just woke up. "You boys ready to go? Your mother is about to wake up." Tori nods.

A knock on the door confuses Roku so he slowly opens the door while Izumi wakes Yuno.

Roku closes the door when he doesn't see anyone there missing the symbol drawn on the door. "False alarm, Momma Bear up yet?"

Yuno yawns lying on the bed, "Can I sleep two more minutes?"

Ken picks her up. "You can sleep all you want when we get home."

Roku is the last to leave the room stopping in his tracks when he sees the symbol on the door. "That stupid old man, if it wasn't for him they wouldn't be coming after me so soon."

Ken stops in his tracks, "Not your crazy family again Roku we barely survived the last time."

Roku turns to Yuno and links himself to her, "Be careful and have someone to watch the boys at all times they will take me back by any means necessary messing with Yuno is out of the question, but consider everything else fair game."

Izumi sighs, "I'll focus on The Elites the new program I have them on seems to be alleviating their spirits again an upset will not be revoked so soon." Izumi says talking about Kai and group.

Roku agrees incinerating the door. "We keep them out of this no matter what. I'm sure I can talk my way out of this."

Ken cackles, "Yeah right! We're royally screwed and Ake will not be thrilled about this."

"I don't care, relax for once you weirdos." Izumi walks away leaving everyone else behind.

Yuno is still confused about what's going on it's almost like they forgot about her, "You're all weirdos, can we go now?"

Ken smiles nodding taking her hand as they leave, "You look great by the way."

Yuno smiles, "Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself Ken."

"I look better!" Xavier comments in a sing song tone walking ahead with Tori running behind him.

"Stop running." Tori yells stopping in his tracks. Xavier waits for Tori to catch up walking next to him stopping in front of the car.

"Home sweet home."

"We're not home yet Tori."

"I know, oi!"

Yuno sighs, "They hang around Rex too much it's not good for they're mental health."

"Oh yeah? too bad we can't do anything about it. let's just get home unless you're not tired anymore."

Yuno yawns, "I'm not tired I'm exhausted. hurry back."

"As you wish."
