Who does that teacher think he is!?

I, after finishing the bulk of my homework, stroll through the streets of the town surrounding Yamaku in order to vent. {The things that dickhead teacher said to me and Satoshi where criminal! He thinks he can prance around Yamaku like he owns the place, gunning for the whole "bad boy" appeal. And to think that he's related to Setsuna... Come to think of it, the two could be confused for the same person. I have an eery feeling about those two. It's a similar feeling when I'm fighting a vampire, or worse...} I pull my hood over my face and jog back to my dorm room.

Walking in circles. It's what I do some times.

When there's nothing better to do, the only sensible answer to me is to do something.

So I do it. In most cases it's walking in circles.

This case in particular I am walking around my dorm building. It's much larger of a route than the normal few feet in diameter but it's still walking in circles.

I don't even know why it's circles when I could-hey look, there's Cook.

"Hey Cook!"

He seems kind of agitated towards something.

Satoshi! How are you, my man!?

Forget you, circle!

"Bored, bredduh."

I walk from my rut over next to him. Walking along side him.

"What about you? What are you doing around here?"

I can't stop thinking about that guy that caught us in the gym the other day. Is it just me, or does something seem... Peculiar about that man?

The memories reform around my conciousness.

"He may have acted like Setsuna...but he was definitely different."

"The matter is not worth going out of way to look into but it is definitely worth keeping an eye out...He seemed...off."

He may have us decapitated if we're not careful.

My keen imagination takes hold.

"Haha, you had a lance. I don't think anyone could of taken you on with that."

I think for a moment.

" Hey, how did you end up buying something like that, anyway?

Well, my mother gave it to me as a parting gift. Before dropping me off, literally on the front steps of Yamaku, she felt so guilty for not taking me along with her to Europe that she left me with a lance of all things. Unfortunately, I'll have to find an even more secluded spot to practice with it. Anyway, have you seen Asterisk or Takahashi around lately?

"Damn, I wish my ma was accustomed to my weapon usage enough to buy me a pole arm!"

I laugh a little.

"I think I'm going to go in the forest. Perhaps set up a target of some sort in there. I've never made one before but I think I can manage making one."

The side of me that loves working with my hands and ingenuity is very excited for that moment.

"And no, not really. They've been off doing their own thing, I assume."

Man, the four of us need to plan an excursion of some kind.
