I sat in the courtyard, waiting for a challenger. I had put out that i was looking for people to fill my positions. I didn't specify how many i needed. I just said come if you are brave. I looked around and sighed. Just to my left was where i had hurt that blue haired boy. I wouldn't do it again, not to my own people. Never to my own. I was here to protect. Not to hurt them.
A boy came at me, yelling that he would take my place before he worked for me. I jetted my foot out and tripped him, his teeth hit the seat next to me and he fell unconscious.
"That's not what i need."
I said to him, knowing he couldn't hear me. I grabbed the wooden sword to my left, swinging it around i concentrated on the wooden markings. It spelled something, but i didn't read Japanese yet, i only spoke it. I wondered if i could give something to the people that joined, like this sword... or a jacket. I smiled as i imagined a motorcycle gang. All of us in full leathers. I shook my head out of my odd fantasy and looked around the courtyard.

It was amazing how Velia could do that. Read while completely staying on course to her desired destination that is. She had remembered reading a flyer that asked for brave souls to come to the courtyard. It sounded so much like a fairy tale Algernon had read that she just had to show at the meeting location, even if it was just to watch other volunteers do their thing.
She continued. Walking, reading, walking, reading, walking, still reading-STOP...now walking around a pole while reading. And finally, Velia was there. The sight she was presented with after closing her book was a knocked out boy and a girl holding a wooden sword. Velia blinked a few; now pondering as to what could have happened mere moments ago. She looked to the boy, then the girl, then cycled through again. However, she did not question things, rather, she moved onto asking another question.
"Excuse me, but is this the meeting location the flyer specified?" She asked so in a calm yet friendly manner as she pulled out and unrolled a flyer she took(for the better or for the worse) from one of the school walls. Velia took a moment to scan over the girl. She was pretty. Or at least, she assumed the men must think so. At this time, Algernon wondered if she was popular around here.

My eyes fell on a girl standing at the edge of the courtyard. Her eyes shifted from the boy to me a few times before resting on me. I smiled and half waved.
"Yup, this is it. See all the people you have to wait behind!"
I waved my arms wildly around me gesturing to the empty courtyard. There was no one else there. Just me, the boy and her.
"You wanna join the SHCP, huh?"

"SHCP..." It took a second for Velia to remember what the SHCP was, but when she did, it was hard to restrain herself from going on about all the people she's surveyed over the organization. Let's just say results were great. There were, however, a couple setbacks for Algernon. One, she just came to this school for the first time yesterday, and at most highschools she's attended, new students aren't exactly taken well. Second, Velia doesn't have much physical strength to back herself up, so restraining students might be hard.
Excuses aside, if this girl will really let Velia in, then Algernon won't hesitate. "If I were to say yes, would I be tested? If so, I would like to add that I'm not very physically strong, but my computer skills are good." Velia wasn't sure why she added in that last part, as it probably won't do her any good.

I grimaced as she told me she wasn't very strong. That wouldn't do. She needed to be able to defend herself if she were to join. Sure I had no qualms about her joining, however, I still had to be sure she could defend herself. I was about to answer her before she added the line that made me smile. She was good with computers, eh? Good. I did need that.
"To answer your question, yes. You would be tested, but not in the way you think." I gestured to the boy on the ground next to me. "He thought he could take my place. I did not hurt him in any way. I tripped him and he knocked himself out. See, you don't have to be strong in order to fight. You don't have to know how to hit people to stop them. All you need to know how to do, is to take care of yourself. I can't always watch your back. If you can't watch your own, I'd have to say no."
I paused and let that sink in. Standing up, I'd make my way towards her and lazily swung the sword around. I wasn't aiming for anything, I was just swinging to swing. Once in front of her, I'd hand her the sword. If she took it, I'd take a half step back and let her hold it, swing it, throw it, hit me with it, whatever she wanted to do with it.
"What can you do?"

The girl grimaced when Velia mentioned her lack in physical strength, but the computer skills were a plus. Mentioning them were good after all. That aside, Velia wasn't sure what type of test it would be if not a violent one. The lady gave an intriguing speech about taking care of oneself before handing Algernon the wooden sword. It seemed the girl wanted to see what Velia could do when armed. "What can you do?" the girl said
She held the sword firm; a serious look on her face. Velia then held it up in the light...-and took out her cell phone to take a picture of the sword and it's Japanese Writing. She was very interested in translating the writing, but in order to do so, she would need a picture for her laptop of the transcript.
"In the scenario that I would be required to defend myself, it would only be if the opposing delinquent would be the first to move, so please." Velia handed the wooden sword back to Steve. This wouldn't increase her own odds of victory in the least, but she preferred the pacifist route.

My face remained vacant as I listened to her speak. She was already hired, but I needed to teach her a lesson. Letting the other person strike first was an easy way to get hurt. As her wrist was still out to hand me the sword, I would take the sword with one hand and grab the back of her wrist with the other. Twisting the sword around, I would lightly tap her midsection, careful not to hurt her, and bend her wrist slightly forward towards the inside of her forearm. Bringing my knee up sharply, I'd stop right before contact and bring my eyes back to hers.
"That is why you need to make the first strike. You can't afford to let the students here have the first hit. Some aren't all that strong, but others," I'd pause and take a breath thinking about Emily. "Others are more dangerous."
I'd let her go and take a step back. I made my point, there was no use going on father and driving it in to her head. Hopefully she got it.
"I'd hope that the only reason why you would be stepping in in the first place, is that the student already deserves it, so there would really be no reason to let them make the first hit."

Velia continued to smile as she was restrained, and let go shortly after. She was smiling, because if this were a real situation, Algernon wouldn't have given the firebrand a weapon, nor would she have gotten close in the first place. Fact of the matter, a good defense is the greatest offense for some. If Velia were to have made the first attack, she would have easily been parried or knocked down like the blue haired boy some distance away.
"I see. I'll be sure to make a note of that." she replied obediently. Algernon came to the conclusion that the girl in front of her was an awfully rash sort of person. Her determination is good, but something isn't right about attacking students for skipping class or throwing food across the lunch room. Of course, these examples are highly exaggerated, and physical measures wouldn't be taken for such innocent acts, but it proves a basic point.
Velia would normally state her opinion, but she didn't want to disrespect a superior. Instead, introductions called. "By the way, i forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mooi Algernon. Oh..but most just call me..."Moo" or "Moomoo". May I ask your name as well?"

She kept smiling. That was a good sign. I was happy to see that she didn't take my actions as actual attacks. She seemed to grasp the concepts I was trying to get across, but really, she would have to find out herself. Only time could tell if she would be able to protect herself. Mooi Algernon. Nice.
"Alright, I'll call you whatever you want to be called. My name is Stevie-Rae Wilson. Most people just call me Stevie."
I'd offer my hand to shake hers before dropping it and grinning at her.
"You got the job by the way. I was just trying to prove a point. I'll try not to put you in harms way though. Welcome to the team."
If I had a pecking order, she would not be in the lead, that was for sure. Then again, I did have certain roles I needed to be filled. She perfectly fit the role of Communications Officer.

Stevie? What an adorable name. This reminded Moomoo of a certain man named Steve Debean. Stevie it is then. Although it would probably be wise to call Steve by her appropriate name since, well, she's the boss. It would also be more formal anyway. Stevie offered her hand to shake which Velia happily accepted. On another note, everything that's been said gave the impression that Stevie(although a bit rash),is definitely someone to be trusted. Mooi hoped the thought would be returned at some point.
This was quite a lucky day for Velia, as it's only her second day on campus and she's now included in one of the school's most important groups. "It's an honor to be a part of your organization, but may I ask what I will be doing? I'm very curious." Would Velia's registration become active immediately, or would this have a training course of some sort. If so, Stevie would probably be the training officer, considering it doesn't seem that anyone else is here, yet.

I smiled as she shook my hand. I still didn't know what to call her. Then she asked what she was to be doing. Well, that I had just given thought on. I suppose it would be wise to include her on the thought.
"Well, I was actually just thinking about that. I figure, we might be able to have you occasionally help in the filed, but for the most part, you'll be the Communications Officer. That is, unless you feel that you would like to be in the field more? I don't have any problems with it. So long as you can fight and protect yourself that is."
I was leaving the final decision to her. It was her job after all. I wasn't really the controlling type. I didn't like people who sought to control everything.

Off the field? Okay then. Velia enjoyed the inside more anyway, so that sat fine with her. Stevie then went on to mention Algernon's role in it all, to which Velia replied with a couple curious blinks. "Communications Officer? Would it be air-headed of me to ask what an individual of that title does?" Velia could figure either she would be the liaison between the rest of the group members, or she would be monitoring student's search history on student devices(Just to make sure there aren't any X rated ingredients being conjured). It could also be possible that Algernon would be assigned a camera station to watch the halls in the school in case a fight were to break otu.
No matter what the role was like, Velia was sure she was up for the responsibility. "In regards to being on the field, I'm content with staying on the side lines. I would probably just be a hindrance to the group otherwise."

I smiled again.
"Not at all. It's a relatively new role to the school. You will mainly be on the computer in the SHCP office. Occasionally you will need to accompany the unit to activities on campus though. You'll take care of Emails, security cameras, ordering online items, and the like. You ever played Saints Row? You remember Kinzie? Yeah."
Seemed she didn't wanna fight, at least not just yet anyway. I was good with that. No sense in getting her hurt.

As Stevie named off the responsibilities, Velia brushed away any worries she might have had over the job. This would be simple. In regards to participating in events, that's a given with most school clubs. Lastly, stevie mentioned Kinzie from saints row. That gave Moomoo a much brighter picture of what she would be doing, although she would prefer to put on that she's oblivious to the reference. To Algernon, video games were irresponsible pass-times. Irresponsible pass-times she enjoys very much. But with this said, she'll happily get on to others found doing these fun activities.
"I'm sorry to disappoint, but I don't play games very often. Those who do easily lose track of time." Well, now that Velia's hired, she can't help but wonder what she needs to do right now. It's not an exaggeration to say Moomoo forgot what she set out to do today in the first place...

I dragged a hand over my face and smiled at the girl.
"It just means you need to be able to hack anything. Tell ya what, google it tonight. 'Kinzie Kenzington.' It should pop up easily. That or 'Saints Row Kinzie.'"
I smiled down at her. I needed to get her a weapon of some kind if I was to employ her in the SHCP. If she was to fight, I needed to trust she could handle her own.
