Punishment

[chessa]

"Well then, at least you don't have to worry about me fulfilling that threat, now do you? Unfortunately, I'm not satisfied with just your part in the whole scheme of things." She smiled then. She then turned to the other two and raised her eyebrow, with the same smile. It was the one thing to keep her from getting further agitated at the load she was carrying and stress she was under with her father's ailments.

As for the other two, she wasn't going to sit around and listen to them chit chat, "Boys, did you not hear me? I wish to know what occured." She dropped her stuff then, issuing a loud bang to resonate in the hall way while she unclipped the walkie talkie from her side and adjusted the channel for a moment prior to bringing it closer to her lips. After speaking with a janitor about the mess in the hall way, she clipped it back to the side of her gray pencil skirt and very carefully maneuvered her way to pick up the multitude of lab noteworks from her class, the text books and manilla folders and stand back up. She flicked her head to get a few strands of brown hair out of her face before looking back to the other two.

"So, please, inform me."

[Aureus]

Stein Archist... Aureus repeated mentally, storing the name away for later use. Turned out he was another transfer, and a college freshmen at that. His comment about having a reputation piqued the Pillar's curiosity, but he decided it would be better not to ask. Not right away at least. He would have to do some digging around in the records later on.

"Well Stein, it's nice to meet you. And the deal with this school is nothing new. Kids come in, they learn, some ditch, some cause trouble, some need help, protection, etc and that's where I come in. I beat down trouble makers and help those who need it, and I'm the Varsity Captain but you probably already knew all that. Though I suppose it's important to note that who is labeled as a trouble maker is up to me. I'm not a dog of the administration. I think I have a better sense of justice than they do anyway," The Pillar said indifferently, not coming off smug or self righteous. He just did what made the most, logical sense. Aureus would have continued, but the Chemistry teacher interrupted once more, this time dropping her books and calling the janitor to clean up the trail of blood.

"Ah, sorry Miss G. It's pretty simple," He said, turning to his teacher. "Stein here found a few boys mistreating a young girl and put them in their place, albeit he went a little further than I would have. No biggie. Though you should keep an eye on those bastards from now on," He finished, shooting a look at the student on Jyo's back. Aureus hated guys like that. There was nothing lower than picking on a small girl with your friends. Disgusting...

[Stein Archist]

"Heh, I suppose that makes sense."

Stein smirked slightly as he replied to the boys comments. He could feel his breathe and heart rate calming down from the pills he took. Stein allowed his eyes to wander down to the other boys he had exterminated. Perhaps he was right about going too far, but now these boys would share a common fear for him, and no longer dare to harm anyone, at least at this school. That small difference alone would be enough for Stein to satisfy himself. At least until a new incident came up. For now the only thing that was slightly unbalanced was the bitching teacher. However she seemed to not be much of a threat. Stein would simply not pay attention to her or anything she said. It was safer that way. He didn't need a scorned woman attempting to show how authoritative she was by more bitching. Stein had no need for, nor took any pleasure in that kind of headache.

"Well then, what say we leave here before she gets a chemical imbalance and explodes?" Stein said. He was quite enough, and spoke under the speech of others, so that she would not hear. Even if she did however, she probably couldn't do much in retort.

"I'm in the mood for a good conversation. This place got roof access?"

[chessa]

"I'll keep a note of it, Aureus, when I'm actually around them. At any rate, thank you for your fabulous rendition of the story, but as a chemist, I am inclined to know what caused an explosion. In other words, Mr. Archist, that does not exclude you from informing me as to what happened, and the explosion being the ruckus." She looked to Stein, and if it weren't for the stack of books within her arms, she would have folded them over her chest as she awaited an answer. Her smile had diminished, but she wasn't about to start screaming, nor 'bitching.' Was it that hard to just squeeze a little information out of the one student who did so?

"So please, enlighten me. I promise I won't annoy you for that much longer if you just inform me. Surely a college freshman would know that the best way to satisfy a woman is to just entertain them for just a few moments when all they wish is a simple favor?" It was clear she was getting annoyed at the lack of answer from Stein, who she clearly noticed him ignoring her request, due to the amount of sarcasm she was beginning to play upon.

[Stein Archist]

Stein turned to the teacher with a treacherous smile on his face. His eyes were relaxes and slightly squinted, but his face was tensed into near laughter. The words she used were in such a perfect rendition of sarcasm that he caught the humor immediately, without having enough time to take it all in piece by piece. He let a small chuckle get through his fang-like teach and reach the teacher before he took a moment to pause. He had to think on how he would word his story so that he did not sound like a child inspired to do good, but instead someone who simply did right for the sake of doing right. Biblical talk always ran thick in his tongue, and when talking to people he often had to suppress it in order to keep himself looking relatively sane.

"Excuse me for saying, but I know much better ways to please a women than small-time entertainment." Stein dared to say it, finding the teacher's undertone sarcasm to be a big hint that she wasn't the kind of up-tight teacher that would scream at that.

"However, I will explain what happened from my personal point of view. As I was proceeding to my locker I heard shouts, this included, 'Your boyfriends a piece of shit', 'Why would you date that nerd', and many things similar to this theme. I turned the corner to see these boys, and a few others who got the courage to run, shoving, and one even punching a small girl with brown hair. These boys were the source of the shouting, which I confirmed when one of them repeated the 'piece of shit' comment. I then charged in to prevent further harm for the girl, striking the first man hard. I wanted to be sure that those who did not run would get fear in a different way, while exercising the common punishment in this high school system."

Stein ended this recall by adjusting his pants slightly since he had not got a chance to before. Once they were realigned he let his hands rest in his pockets once again.

"Whether it seems like it was too much or not, I was definitely holding back on these kids."
