Covering his ears along with all the other unprepared students he tried to keep his focus on the two agitated students, 'What an annoying Alice...' thought Sono as he regained his hearing slowly. Looking over at Sakura he frowned, his shadows retracting back to normal position. Something broke his control on the two, and it wasn't the airhead that just wondered in.
Aoi watched in amazement, as the situation suddenly went from a peaceful lunch time to a commotion. She had no idea why Sakura, nor Shouta fought with each other like that. It's not like they were already in disagreement and were arguing. So it felt rather suspicious. Her food was finished, but she didn't dare leave or stood up, as cold sweat ran down her face; she felt that it was dangerous, or rather, there was a strange vibe from the already-confused pair. Then she witnessed Ichigo doing suddenly moving Shouta's face towards the ceiling forcibly and delicately... despite the unfolding event - she couldn't hear anything - her ears went deaf.
"Just when did she get here from her table!" she asked to no one in particular, astonished. She looked back to Ichigo's table, the classmate who came with was still in her seat at the table over there. But Ichigo somehow soundlessly ran over to this table? Strange, she thought. She then looked arounded, seemed like she wasn't the only one with a pair of deaf ears right now.
Ichigo realized how everyone were starting to make a fuss due to the situation, and looked around, then closed her eyes for a moment, "Hmhmhmhm~!! Hmhmhmhm~!! Lalalalalalalala~!!" a smoothing voice resounded across the cafeteria hall, a cleansing wave of sound could be felt by the students, Aoi swore that she could somehow hear Ichigo's voice despite the fact that any other sounds couldn't be heard. The Vocal Enchantment was in work while Ichigo hummed energetically - spreading her arms out in the air - as soon as she noticed how the Alice's noise may have effected others' ears... after realizing that she couldn't hear anything for a moment, "Mnm... with that, others should be able to regain the ability to hear properly," Ichigo mumbled to herself, then smiled after feeling that it was a good deed done.
Always right when we need you, right? thought Sono as he continued to enjoy his meal.
The melody also cooled Shouta's rage. He opened his fists and the tension drained from his body. He fell back into his seat, already exhausted from using his Alice. Especially since something was holding him back, he put all of his energy into that yell. Shouta panted heavily for a few moments before regaining his composure, and turned his head to look at Ichigo. Is that her Alice? It's nowhere near 'fearsome'... She helped everyone, and I hurt everyone... He let out a sigh. Nothing's changed, has it... Anyways, what in the hell caused me to lose control of my body during that time? Is it someone's Alice? If it is, I'm gonna beat the shit out of them!
Sakura could feel herself relaxing after hearing the soothing voice of Ichigo. Her thoughts of kicking Shouta were already gone. She then begun to wonder why or how the situation led up to her slapping Shouta in the first place, or him splashing the water on her, from his glass, it seemed like even he himself was quite surprised. Sakura then went up to Shouta, "Excuse me..." Sakura said nervously.
Shouta was pulled out of his thoughts after hearing Sakura's voice. "Oh, Hiiragi-san. Uh... sorry... sorry for earlier, I don't know what came over me." He apologized for his actions, despite having no control over them.
"Well you better be sorry, idiot! You didn't even let me explain the situation, then you had to just throw water all over me, idiot!! Sakura couldn't believe what she just blurted out, those were not the words she wanted to say, but they flew right out her lips like always; she couldn't be honest.
"W-what!? You slapped me first! And that wasn't on purpose, something was controlling me; I don't know what, though." His voice trailed off toward the end as he realized, again: She has every right to be as mad as I am. I shouldn't be angry at her for this, either...
Damn this girl, we're her teammates here. What's she doing making it worse for us?! Amelia shouted in her mind, slightly frowned for a split second, but quickly tried to regain her composure, "Oh my, what's going on with you two!" Amelia asked - standing up - pretending to not know the situation one single bit. This is when she could feel attention being drawn towards herself. Whenever she is seen by the majority, people starts to talk about her, she sighed, and sat down again to avoid the masses of students, "I don't know!" Ichigo cheerfully answered, then made a wide smile, "But it's alright now!"
But what's going on though... Kage-san's Shadow Marionette Alice shouldn't have gone out of control like that. Unless it's this girl... it's a possibility. she thought, That cuts it then. Hiiragi-san's Alice is a genuine Nullification Alice. It's up to the teachers to take their time realizing it though. But then, it isn't something he'd want, right? Amelia, pleased, That concludes the investigation on at least one person. Fushiki-san's one is a mystery. I couldn't tell how strong the force of his screeching was even though the noise affected everyone here, and that Kiriya-san's Alice hasn't even been used. Maybe I should just ask for that.
"For causing a ruckus in the cafeteria on the lunch break and breaking peace in the pubic like this. Your punishment is.... hmmm," putting a finger under her chin, Ichigo took a moment to think, "You're not allowed to talk or make a noise! Unless it's to talk with a teacher, talking is henceforth forbidden till the end of the classes! Take your time to think and repent for the deed of misusing your Alice!" or so she said, despite taking a guess of what actually happened. She then looked towards Hiiragi Sakura, "Mnm... " she smiled with slight embarrassment, "Well, you're still having a trial enrollment. So I won't be punishing you. I don't know why you'd slap Fushiki-san, but please make a proper apology to him. One with a sincere, deep bow!"
Sono chuckled inwardly as he finished his meal. He didn't believe that Ichigo didn't notice he was involved somehow. Yet she still punished the new student. Having finished his meal he took the napkin from his lap and dabbed it on his mouth to get any sauce left on his lips. Getting up from the table he took his leave of the lunchroom. He got one of not two of the neew stundets out of the way. He figured his client would be satisfied.
"...Really...? That's... ugh..." Shouta groaned. He didn't expect to be in trouble this soon in yet another school. Sighing, he thought Yep... such is my life. At least this punishment isn't really one. It's not like I have many people to talk to here anyways...
Wow! This is rare, Ichigo is actually acting like the so-called principal student, and is talking down to them. Punishment, huh? Isn't that a little too much, Ichigo? Aoi wondered, asking Ichigo internally, who couldn't hear her, But but but! Ichigo - the idol - acting like a good and strict student is kinda cool! It's a new side of her that I'm seeing for the first time! It's too bad I don't have a camera with me, this is such a good shutter chance too! she cried to herself, as this was a good yet bad a situation for her.
Sakura panicked for a bit, she knew she had to apologize properly, but she also knew that she'd normally always utter things she didn't meant to. She knew that she has to try to apologize properly as she has no intention of leaving a bad impression of herself, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to slap you, I'm not sure what came over me then," Sakura said as she gave a proper, deep bow.
Shouta nodded his head and waved his hand, as if to say "It's fine, don't worry about it."
"Hoshimiya-san, I hope you don't have any qualms in me adding one more tiny bit here: Hiiragi-san, no more calling anyone an idiot in an outburst," Amelia added, Ichigo nodded, "I can't say anything to that, since it is rude. Anyway, I gotta run now," Ichigo then faced the other students, all taking leisure in their seats, "Class will soon begin, you guys should make way for your respective classes soon, too."
"I'll try my best," Sakura said, not sure how well she'd be able to restrain herself. "By the way, if I may ask, where's the toilet? I think I want to go wash up a bit before class starts"
Amelia looked back at her table, I guess I had my fair share of food already, she thought, then answered, "I'll show you. Since it came to this, might as well show the three of you where they are. Follow me."
An uncomfortable feeling from the pit of Shouta's stomach started to take its toll on him. He needed to use the restroom fairly urgently. It's probably a good idea to follow her... That curry went through me quickly!
