</div></div><br/>Once everyone was ready, Akena slipped on her sneakers and began walking out, before glancing in the mirror. It still didn't feel right. She untucked the blouse from the skirt, it reaching below her hips easily. Much better. it was casual, but loose-fitting enough and Akena could feel comfortable in it. Asking for a larger size had been a good move. The person who had designed the uniform to be somewhat close-fitting should be....she glanced at her teammates, noting how they looked. Well, actually, maybe they had the right idea. She tucked her hands in her jacket pockets and walked out with the team. Akena was not one to be embarrassed by such thoughts, which would come in handy if she was going to be seeing these people naked or close to it fairly often. Not that she'd try and produce such situations, but if they just happened... She brushed aside her thoughts as she addressed the matter at hand.<br/><br/>"Well, we're supposed to use the lockers, but I didn't feel safe putting my weapon there. It's...more than just a weapon to me, after all." Mentioning it was a family heirloom or some unique (as far as she knew) artifact would just raise more questions. "So I should reprimand all of you or something, but that'd be a tad hypocritical of me. And honestly, I'm not going to spend energy reinforcing that rule unless it becomes necessary, or anyone proves they can't handle the leniency. Thanks for looking out for us anyway, Karmyne, it's good to know someone's got things straight. Just grab it before you get into the class. We'll save a seat for you."<br/><br/>Akena gave a strange glance at Nekro as he walked off. What was the arm gesture about? Probably just friendly. Nekro was living up to her earlier assumptions of being easy going, much like how Karmyne was living up to her expectations of being a tad uptight. But not in a bad way - and not in a way that seemed inflexible, either. Hopefully some self-esteem boosts here and there would help her realize her potential better and relax. She glanced over at Robin and Shiro as they walked with her. Today's class would likely give them all a good idea of their team dynamic in combat. Ideally, everyone would be confident enough to show what they could do. But some of them were a secretive lot, and there was always the idea that they'd hold back or even somehow lie about their abilities. Akena hoped they wouldn't, but if they did, there wasn't much she could do about it.<br/><br/>Akena haded in the direction of the Arena, glancing at her scroll which now displayed a map of the route from the Dorms. The walkways and paths were filled with students, hurriedly going to classes, some running with their breakfast still in their mouths. Akena had decided to go with a few pieces of fruit, as overfilling before being active was just a bad move, and her metabolism was rather glacial anyway. "Let's see, looks like we're almost there. What do all of you expect from this one? Just some basic drills, maybe a few teamwork exercises? Then again, if the entrance exam is anything to go by, they might just throw us to the<i>wolves</i>again. Eh?" She chuckled to herself. obviously quite amused at her joke.
