Section 2, Combat Cyborg
[X] You don't know what you want.
You wake up some time later, curled up on the roof. You cough and choke a little, rubbing your temples as you look down upon the campus, already beginning their daily routine. The last few hours seem to blur and twist as you shakily stand up and stretch, your head pounding as you try and shake these unbidden thoughts away. You don't need to think about this now.
After all, it is a school day. You could be late at this rate. You have to shower and get dressed, and run to class.
===
You are going to be late. Late late late. You haven't been late to class before. You've never been late, period. You usually planned out everything so that you had some time to spare, to adjust and to adapt as needed. Whether that meant sabotaging all three reactors aboard a Corpus ship to create severe enough power grid fluctuations over the next few hours to sneak past the malfunctioning security apparatus, or simply arriving to class early to review the day's materials ahead of time, you had always taken care in planning your moves ahead.
You leap from rooftop to rooftop, avoiding the bustling morning crowds as they make their way into the centre of the campus, a piece of buttered toast from that café stuck in your mouth as you wall run across one of the facades. Every single place you put your feet is calculated ahead of time. You have taken this route many times in your head and many times in person to determine the most efficient paths and steps needed. Even so, you've never gone this fast. It is really pushing your luck. You land around the corner of the main entrance, quickly striding in, knocking your heels against one another as you lean on your indoor shoe locker before changing.
Many of the students have already made their way to their classes, their morning rituals and chatter moving into their homerooms. You quicken your pace into a small jog, only slowing down as you pass the staff offices, resisting the urge to quickly prowl and sneak past it. You stumble into 2-A, bidding the class president and Naba-san a good morning in-between bites of your toast, trying to shuffle towards your desk in the back as quickly as you can, sliding into your seat.
You look up and realise that Zazie Rainyday is silently watching as you unpack.
Had a bad night, Tenno-chan? she seems to ask, her head tilting.
"I couldn't sleep last night, Zazie," you admit, pulling out your History textbook, putting the remains of the crust on the book, "I was thinking a little about… home and things."
Rainyday nods solemnly, offering you her sympathies. She reaches out to you and pats you on the hand.
Home is always in your heart, she smiles, placing her other hand on her chest. You're a little touched. She wasn't usually this talkative.
"Thank you, Zazie. That's very nice of you."
The door to the class slides open, and Nodoka calls for everyone to stand for Takahata-sensei as he makes his way to the front.
"Good morning class. How is everyone today?"
After hearing a general agreement, he nods,
"Hmm that's good. Just a friendly reminder everyone, there's rules against running in the hallways for reasons. You know who you are," he announces, looking vaguely in your direction. Drat. "Moving on, I hope everyone's taking their revision seriously; it's getting very close to exam season, and I want to see us going up in the class rankings a little this term…"
The class groans. Your homeroom teacher continues to pass out announcements and today's briefings, before passing the reins to your maths teacher.
It's another normal day at Mahora Junior High.
You hesitate a little as you open up your exercise book, before turning to page 78 in your textbook and looking at the examples given.

"Hey hey, Ivara?" Fuka asks as she places her chair down, "Did you hear?"
Her twin continues, "Did you hear? We might be getting a new teacher soon?"
"A new teacher?" you mumble, receiving a packet drink from Kaede as she takes a seat,
"Yeah. A trainee teacher," she confirms, taking out small lunchbox, "Sometime next week, or that's what Kazumi says. She's not usually wrong."
You weren't sure if this was a common occurrence, but given the familiarity that the girls had with their teachers at the school, it made a fair bit of sense for them to be a little excited about them.
"I hope he's a good teacher," you say, taking a long drag from the drink box. There were many teachers at the school, with their own teaching styles and expertise. You much preferred the way Takahata conducted his classes. Very straightforward, you could follow them very well.
"Do you think he'll be like Takahata-sensei?" you ask, watching as Kaede drums her fingers across the desk, moving a pencil across it,
"Ehhh? Ivara? Do you like older men too?" Fuka smirks, covering her mouth, "Asuna's already taken that role, ne?"
What? You don't understand. What does Takahata's age have to do with anything? He's just very reliable, and a good leader whom you could respect. His style of teaching was very efficient. You don't really have patience for people who ramble on and on. There was a plan and a timetable for a reason.
Fuka pokes you in the hand, "Hey Ivara, you're not denying it?"
"I just want good teachers," you deny, bopping her on the head as she exaggerates her pain, "I think Takahata-sensei's style of teaching is quite efficient."
"Mmm. Takahata-sensei is really good," Fumika says, taking another bite of rice, "It'd be nice if it was a woman for a change though…"
The four of you continue having your lunch.
You worry a little about the new teacher and what they will be like.

There will be a time skip and one last random event before we move on. I'm going to try out the ranked voting system, so go ahead and score these from 1 to 3, and I'll see if I can get this to work out.

[3] Taking a Breather with the Girls
Konoka was rather curious about her new classmate.
It wasn't really a surprise seeing as how she and Setsuna had found her. And escorted her to her grandfather's office.
Then the next day the girl shows up in her class. Suspicious~
Konoka was still rather curious, especially with the addition of the Phantom Thief rumors which she just found funny, having a good idea of who it was.
So Konoka observed her for the next few days and became a bit... worried. Tenno-san was very good at spontaneously vanishing and was actually fairly hard to notice and keep your attention on in general, luckily Konoka had had practice with spotting Setsuna shadowing her. Oh Setsu... *Sigh*
What made Konoka worried about her new classmate was how she just... watched. Like she was very-silently baffled by everything around her. So, yes, Konoka was a bit worried for her classmate who felt rather much like a hole in the world sometimes.
Some of her worry was alleviated when Nagase-san somehow inserted herself right into Tenno-san's comfort zone without any discomfort from the latter.
Not completely though as Tenno-san still looked like she thought she could make the world go away and leave her alone if she hid hard enough and sometimes still just sat there and watched with dull, blank eyes.
And Setsuna was often agitated as well now because Konoka was worried and Tenno-san kept vanishing anytime Konoka tried to approach her and-
"Is something the matter Konoka-san?"
Ah, the class rep. Konoka turned her head to meet Yukihiro-san's eyes and smiled. Yukihiro immediately froze with wide eyes and made a near audible gulp. "Ah, no. Everything's fine, just a little something on my mind. No need to worry, but thank you for asking."
"A-ah, that's good," and then Yukihiro fled.
Konoka tilted her head, did she do something wrong? Eyes still following Yukihiro-san she heard Asuna say, "See, told you. Shouldn't bother her when she gets in a mood." Konoka felt her eyebrow twitch, she was not in a "mood."
And then Konoka felt er Setsuna senses tingle~
"That was kind of cool. Any idea what that was about?" Kaede? When did she move?
"... She's worried about Tenno-san."
She could hear Kaede looking over at Tenno-san's assigned seat. Her already empty seat. "Ah. Yeah, that can be a little difficult."
Right. Enough was enough. Sliding from her seat and standing in one smooth motion Konoka knew she drew some of her classmates eyes. Including Kaede. Who Konoka was staring right at.
And while Kaede looked a little nervous now (her smile was a touch too wide), she didn't try to run. Good.
And since they had already been talking about it, Konoka decided to cut right to the heart of the matter, "Do you know where I could find Tenno-san, Nagase-san?"
Kaede grinned at her and rolled her shoulders in a shrug, "Sorry Oujo-sama, but Tenno-san can be a bit hard to keep track of even for me. She visits the archery club regularly, or is planning to. I think. Not sure when exactly though yet." Other than the "Oujo-sama" jab (which had made her eyebrow twitch, Setsuna to look like she swallowed something sour, and Nagase-san's grin to widen in amusement) she was being surprisingly helpful.
Konoka felt some tension fall out of her shoulders, at least Kaede is trying to be helpful. "Could you get her to come to the Library Exploration Club maybe?"
Kaede shrugged again, "I'll give it a shot if you want. What do I get if I succeed my lady?"
That last part had been in an over the top joking kind of manner, but... "Please do. And I might be looking for another retainer, you never know." She had said it in such a breezy, airy tone that it would be taken by a joke by anyone.
Konoka was putting an odd amount of thought to it though. She'd been raised on legends and myths. On the history of her clan. She had a Samurai bodyguard already, even if no one would tell her what is wrong or why Setsuna pulled away like she did and it hur- ... She knew grandfather and father were hiding something from her. Something large. And all too often did those stories have someone dying or getting hurt because of ignorance or arrogance.
She didn't know where to start with learning about what no one was even letting a hint of reach her ears, but she could cover it from another angle. She didn't have a ninja bodyguard. And she had her suspicions about both Nagase-san and Tenno-san. Especially Tenno-san. And ninja were supposed to be good at noticing things others don't, so maybe...
Konoka sighed and pushed the toughts away. No, not yet at least. She was a student who was worried about her classmate. And that was all she wanted to be right now. Maybe if she had to go back to Kyoto or something else cropped up where she needed to be the noble instead of the student, but until then... Until then, she was just worried about her classmate.
---
1.) Even Konoka's patience has it's limits. As Yukihiro saw first hand and Kaede decided nont to push her because of it. This also led to her going a bit Oujo-sama on everyone. Including herself. Which she felt a bit ashamed of at the end, because it was meant to just be one classmate worrying about another when she seemed to be one of very few that even noticed Ivara was there.
2.) I remember reading it in some fanfic, and didn't see it on the Wiki, but is Konoka a Goddess-decedent? I had a bit of a idea for an omake from Ivara's perspective based on Konoka feeling... different from everyone else because of it.
3.) I designed this to be kind of ambiguous in terms of when it takes place beyond "Early" on purpose. The twins and Zazie, from this last update, might under-cut part of it, but... *Shrug* Oh well.
