<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/UCzEVzD.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Maya<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 12 (8:00AM)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Remedial Class<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Masahiro, Open<br/><hr/>Maya wasn’t entirely sure what sort of response she’d been anticipating when she’d inquired about Masahiro, but she certainly hadn’t been expecting the confession that had come next. Turning her head and tilting her head inquisitively for the first time, she gave Masahiro a moment or two to add on that he was only kidding… but when no such response came, she supposed things made a lot more sense now. She’d briefly contemplated the possibility of Michael and Masahiro having some sort of educational rivalry… but neither really seemed to be the intellectual type. And the chances of Masahiro trying to impress the ladies with his booksmarts was even less likely. She supposed it was possible that Masahiro had done a deal with the school like Maya had in regards to swim team… but Masahiro didn’t strike her as a negotiator either.<br/><br/>“Big brother Hiro-chan?… why does that sound more intimidating than cute?“ Maya joked, conjuring up an image of Masahiro being followed by a trail of smaller Masahiro’s, each getting smaller with each descent like a lineup of matryoshka dolls. For a second it seemed as if the same imagery had conjured itself up in the minds of the water pokemon on standby… but she supposed their anxiety wasn’t anything new. For some reason almost each and every one of them seemed nervously terrified every time Masahiro so much as sneezed.<br/><br/>“Do you honestly think I haven’t tried that already? I’ve tried to argue my way out of this class a bajillion times, but they gave me the same nonsense they fed you about it being the foundations for success and all“ she complained, figuring that if there was a golden answer waiting to be found, it wouldn’t be coming from Masahiro if that was the best he could come up with.  “I mean no offense or anything, but you’re the only familiar face I know in here, and you’re not exactly fun to be around when you’re being so… studious.“ She supposed it wasn’t fair to rile against Masahiro if he had his own objectives to accomplish, but regardless of whether she respected his brotherly ambitions or not… it didn’t really change the fact that Remedial classes were the most boring classes one could take at the school.<br/><br/>“Isn’t there some law against detaining innocent people against their will? How come that doesn’t apply here…“ she mused out aloud, casting a glance over towards the teacher to see if she could make some sort of valid argument out of the class. She wasn't really expecting an answer from Masahiro on the topic though since he didn't really seem to be the law-abiding type... in fact if he knew anything about the law she presumed it came from being on the wrong side of it... not that Maya could say anything regarding that.
