Kenu is still wandering the halls looking for the first class.
Kenu: Jeez, why’d he have to send me to a random spot. I don't see any class numbers, are they not labeled?!? Oh there's…. Class 1-6 damn it. Doesn't seem like the teacher is here yet. I wish I had a map of this place. Hm?
Kenu notices Taison running from another hallway to his right.
Kenu: Hey! Teach!
Taison quickly turns his head to see Kenu wandering the halls.
Taison: Huh? Kid? What ya doin wandering the halls? Lost?
Kenu adverts his eyes and nervously scratches his head.
Kenu: Hehe… Yea… -he answers hesitantly-
Taison: *Sigh* Alright sit tight I'll help ya when I get back! -he responds with haste-
Kenu: Huh? Wait!
Taison dashes off to meet up with Kobe.
Kenu: *Sigh* I guess I’ll wait here then.
Kenu sits down against the lockers. Two girls walk from the opposite hall that he sat at. One girl had long dark green hair wearing a light pink loose shirt with jeans. The other one had light pink hair with two big pigtails in a bomber style jacket and white fitted undershirt and jean shorts.
Kenu: I wonder who they are. -he thinks with curiosity-
???: *Sigh* This is really one of those times I wish you had a phone.
???: Yea that's fair, buttttt~...
The green haired girl tilted her head and averts her eyes towards the pink haired girl in a teasing manner.
???2: …You’reee~ the one who decided to sleep in big sis. -she remarks-
???: Hmph! You got me there. -she replies with a pout-
Kenu: Hey, You guys lost too? -he asks with a curious expression-
As Kenu was talking to the girls one thing that stood out to him was how unique the pink haired girl's eyes appeared, having light pink irises with flower-like light blue pupils containing pink indentions.
???: Oh, yea we got yelled at earlier for not being in class, but we didn't know where to go so we ran -smiles-
Kenu: Should've just asked for help… Well you can wait here with me. A teacher's going to help me when he gets back.
???: Ok~ -smile-

Taison makes it to the back of the Institute seeing Claire first standing there with her arms crossed. She notices him approaching. He places a toothpick in his mouth.
Claire: Finally, what took you?
Kobe: That’s not important at the moment. Let’s get to the body.
Tessa: I’ve already scanned the area and I've found it. Something’s off about it tho…
Tessa has her hand held up with a trail of her yellow energy leading from her palm to somewhere at the end of the bleachers.
Kobe: Alright, lead the way.
Claire: Someone has a real big pair to kill someone on a Intistute.
Taison: Yea, the only ones to ever pull anything like this in this Union are those psychotic bastards. Hmmm...what are their names again???
Claire: Liberators, Genius, out of all people I’d think you’d remember them considering-
Taison is slightly annoyed at what she was going to say.
Taison: Hey… don't start with me Claire. I’m more of a person that remembers faces, not names.
Tessa: …It should be… right here.
They are led to the wall of the school. Kobe opens a portal through the thick wall leading to the other side. A body is there and it seems to have had all of its skin ripped away revealing all of the muscles and ligaments. The muscle takes on a deeper red and seems to have crystalized and cracked in a few areas.
Claire: It was this close, and you didn’t notice it when you healed all of the students?
Tessa: No… but I definitely should’ve noticed. There's not much I can’t sense. -she thought to herself, perplexed-
Taison: Seems like they’re going big. I don't remember them leaving bodies around, and in this condition…
Kobe: Yea… there’s no distincti-!
The red body begins to rapidly break down. Cracks formed on the body and brackish particles began to dissipate into the air. Chunks of the body fall onto the grass.
Kobe: Claire.
Claire: Yeah.
Claire snaps her fingers and freezes the body to prevent further breakdown. Claire is then shocked to see the body continue to break down. Tessa then attempts to aid keep it from breaking down any further. Her assistance seemed to have worked since the body's decay appeared to be halted.
Taison: Well damn, I see why they’re so bold as to leave a body here.
Kobe isolates a space of the body and holds it in a space of its own, keeping Tessa and Claire’s energy in that space to preserve the sample.
Kobe: You can stop holding it.
Tessa: *Phew* Thanks, I didn't wanna hold that allll day. -she replies in relief-
Kobe: Why are you complaining? It’s easy for you. Stop being lazy, woman.
Tessa: I'm going to shave your head!
Kobe: This really shouldn't be our problem, but I'll be nice and hold on to it until the Inju gets here. -he states casually-
He nonchalantly walks back towards the front Institute as if he was unbothered. Taison slowly turns as Kobe walks past him and is visually aggravated by the comment he made. Veins gather on his forehead and he grits his teeth causing his toothpick to break.
Taison: Oi! what’s that suppos- *THUD*
Claire knocks Taison on the top of his head, interrupting his sentence.
Taison: What the hell was that for Claire?!? -he asks angrily-
Claire: You should understand him, Taison. Looking at that body, how old do you think it was?
Taison: What? It looked like it was a teen...ager… Wait… You’re saying that was one of our students?!?
Claire: Should have deducted that much anyway tho.
Tessa: Knowing him… -she adds with a saddened expression-
Claire: Yea… he’s extremely pissed off.
Kobe’s expression remains more or less the same, but his purple white colored Ulos on the other hand, while only barely visibly emitted, gives off a quiver signifying a struggle of containing the rage he’s feeling.
