"Yes," Ren yawned, "I'll be staying until you sleep, then I'll see you tomorrow." Hopefully she would not take long to sleep, because he too, had school the next day. He was slightly tired, but he guessed that staying up for another hour would not mean much.<br/><br/>The next day, the alarm clock managed to wake him up, much to his surprise. Guessing that he would not have to do any for of exercise or activity for the briefing, he wore a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and a black jacket to ward off the cold. So far, the only few people he managed to convince to go to the arena ESP briefing; they were Sawa and Jasper. Sawa decided to come along as the only events she was involved in was at the water point for marathons as it has no need for communicating verbally and felt somewhat left out.<br/><br/>"Don't you think this might be a fiasco? Also, no doubt there will be some checking to make sure the UN has nothing to say, especially after the Blood Warp thing." Jasper said.<br/><br/>"If we don't go, we won't find out." Ren informed, "Also, we have no work for today so why so grumpy?" He wanted to laugh, but Jasper was always complaining whenever he was uncertain if things would benefit him.<br/><br/>Jasper did not have the chance to pronounce his reasons as they turned into a crowded corridor and what he wanted to say was forgotten as they made their way out of the main building to the dorms. Ren made his way to Stella's room where he guessed she would be as she probably wanted to change out of her uniform. He rang the doorbell and waited for her to answer it.<br/><br/>"Hey," Ren greeted, "You ready to go? Jasper and Sawa are coming along, just in case we need to form teams prior to going in."<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>"So... you're insulting mine in hope that I favor your plan, is that right?" Isana asked. She did not feel annoyed or such but then people had always thought her rude when she started speaking in this manner. "The Headhunter competition has been going on for years already, and this Arena ESP has none behind it." She shook her head as though disappointed.<br/><br/>"Anyway, since there is no limit on the number of competitions one can join, I'll join, as a reserve. But if the schedules clash, I will take the Headhunter competition over the Arena ESP, no exceptions, not even for the finals." She allowed a smile to lift her features slightly, "So, a team. What is the maximum amount of team members allowed?"<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Shirazumi nodded at both of them in greeting, "We have to participate as a school, we can't pick up guys from other schools to join us. As for a team, I have not heard of the number of members yet, but sure, we could form a team and see who else joins us."<br/><br/>He looked at the building and turned back to them, "I managed to get a glimpse while I was closer just now, It looked pretty amazing and luckily for us, the staff there are very efficient. Which means we get to use the CortexWave faster. A lot of security before we can get in though, metal detectors and such, but it will be worth it."
