SCHOOL TRIP - Mini-games

How exactly did this get approved by Emi's parents? How did this get approved by the parents of other students? Why are all these people here, this was meant to be the setting to Emi and Kyoko's training, how exactly will that work out of there are dozens of other students here. On top of that Emi has found a new hatred, being stuck on a bus with hyperactive teenagers for hours. It was bad enough her sister was excited for all the wrong reasons but now there were other kids encouraging this behavior.

Under any other circumstance Emi would be excited for time off from school but after thinking about training and developing her powers that has become a driving point to her as a person and she was to get on with it. Alas, that will be taking a back seat to the springs, maybe Emi can find some enjoyment with just relaxing.

When she stepped off the bus, watching as other students went inside to find their designated rooms she took her eyes off her sister for one moment, and the next she was gone. "I feel like I should have expected this..." She gave a heavy sigh.

Emi knew she needed to at least find Seran to set up some sort of plan later on, even if training didn't start immediately she couldn't let it be a backburner, they weren't going to be there for long. Emi entered the springs to go find Seran, letting Kyoko enjoy herself for just a moment.

Seran’s fingers drummed endlessly on the edge of the control panel, parallel to which he sat; seat back, feet up. His eyes stared unblinking at the multitude of screens raised up before him, showing the numerous cameras situated throughout the public areas of the spa. When he had first gotten the call about the school trip from karakura town wanting to book a large portion of the spa he had been slightly aggravated; but the possibility of more individuals besides Kyoko and Emi to study was not one to pass up. Plus it wasn’t as though they were lacking in space. Even leaving out the living spaces for Seran’s associates in the non-public part of the estate, the spa was massive, easily accommodating the students, teachers, and chaperones with room to spare.

Seran pointed at one of the screens, on which on young man with light colored haired. Seran flicked his finger and the camera image froze, cropped, and flew to another screen, where it was the fourth listing down. It seemed his judgement had been correct, as already two additional humans with spiritual qualities had been located besides the sisters. Seran recognized one of them as Liam, one of the individuals that had been sucked into the Dangai with him during the events of what he now referred to as the “Dangai Upheaval”. They had been separated before becoming fully acquainted then, and the mod soul wondered what had happened to him since. Quincy were quite rare these days after all, perhaps just as rare as members of his own kind.

“Seran, The Sisters Have Been Located And Assigned Rooms Along With The Others. Shall I Send For Them To Be Brought To You.”

“No, let them enjoy themselves for now. It’s barely into the afternoon, and I’d much rather deal with them once they’ve relaxed; I may even wait until after everyone else has gone to sleep.”

“Time Of Subjects' Stay Already Counting Down. One Weekend Is Minimal For Planned Training Noted In Your Files.”

“It’s only friday. That leaves two additional days not counting the time left in this one. And if time ends up being a factor, I’ll have someone back in the city get their school to close and extend their stay. Or I’ll call Theo and have him cause in earthquake to shut down the roads leading up here and keep them that way. No human nonsense is going to get in the way all the way out here.”

“Confirmed. Constructing Addition Fallback Plans In Case Of Time Over-Expenditure.”

Seran grunted in annoyance at the system’s unintentional sarcasm, returning his attention to screens. Kyoko had just exited her room, now clothed in bathing suit. She wandered around until she found one of the attendants who pointed her in the direction of main hot springs. All the natural pools here were mixed, the perfect social environment to find out if Kyoko or her sister knew about the powers of any of the others in the group.

Seran didn’t turn around as Hikari entered. The majority of the students had made their way into the designated hot spring, save a few specimens who remained cooped up in their rooms. He remained almost oblivious to his daughter’s questions, giving zero physical indication that he had heard her. It wasn’t out of rudeness or neglect of course, he simply knew she would wait patiently until he answered; whether it took a minute or an hour. It had almost become a game between the two of them, especially when Seran had his mind focused on some specific project.

The actual persons of interest were all accounted for on his screen, there may have been a few more hidden within the ranks of the students but Monitor would pick them up and add them to the list as it became important. With nothing more to do for the time being, he finally addressed Hikari.

“Only one of them is unique enough to hold my interest. The rest are just extra fish in the net.”

The rhythmic drumming of Seran’s fingers stopped for a moment as he noted the one person on the list not currently enjoying the hot water with the students. One of the younger chaperones, who had found his way to the bar in the dining area. He frowned slightly, having planned to go to the hot springs in order to make good on a promise he had made.

“Maybe I do have a job for you.”

He stood, turning to face the younger mod soul. He looked her over quickly.

“That won’t do.”

He gestured lazily with a finger, and the normal clothing he had made for her rippled; the black iron that made up its entirety changed at his direction. A moment she stood garbed in a light blue, two piece swimsuit, with her long hair tied up in pony tail. Seran nodded, pleased with his work, then reached into his coat and pulled out a silver rectangular tube. He paused for a moment, realizing there was nowhere on her person to carry the object. He frowned, but it hardly mattered, only its intended recipient would know what the object was. He pointed out Liam on the screen, now sitting alone in the water.

“Take this and give it to him. Tell him his usefulness in the Dangai isn’t forgotten, and that I send my regards.”

He handed the Seele Schneider over to her, then turned to leave.

“I’m going to get a drink.”

Three locked doors, and numerous bowing employees later, Seran arrived at the bar. With one quick look, the bartender finished cleaning out a glass and walked out from behind the counter. The place was mainly empty, just a few of the chaperones looking quite relaxed after finding out the spa staff were more than capable and equipped to deal with the students. Seran made his way behind the bar and over to the young man he had noted back in the surveillance room. He picked up the bottle the bartender had left to indicate the young man’s drink and put it out over his glass.

“Reload? All expense paid includes the drinks after all.”

It was a moment or two before Seran answered her, during which time she waited patiently for his reply. She simply followed his lead and watched as the guests at the spa frolicked around with each other. They seemed a lively bunch for the most part. She mainly kept her eyes on the ones who's faces matched the files located on the other monitor, curious as to why Seran was interested in them.

Soon enough though he spoke up and drew her attention back to him as he answered her. Only one of them had truly drawn his interest, she was curious to find out which it was. Her train of thought broke as Seran stood to his feet and turned to face her. He looked her over before disapproving her current attire, a simple white dress, which hugged quite tightly to her curvaceous body. With a wave of his fingers it quickly morphed into a light blue two piece bikini. She looked down at herself then back up at Seran, not much of a care showing in her eyes about the wardrobe change. It didn't really matter to her one way or the other. It was clear at this point that he did have some task for her to carry out.

He handed her a silver rectangular device and told her to deliver to one of the people in the water. She glanced at whom he was speaking, the one called Liam. Now that she looked closer, she had run into him shortly on one of her many nightly jaunts throughout Karakura. He had a girl beside him, well he did she wasn't there currently it seemed she'd moved on to communicate with a few others. She took the object from Seran and nodded, "Understoon, he shall receive his gift." She only assumed that it was a gift, she didn't know the real reason behind Liam receiving this object from Seran.

Shortly after her father claimed he was going to go and get himself a drink and left, Hikari following closely behind. Though she did make sure to exit into the main area of the spa a minute or two after he did. She wasn't sure if he wanted people knowing about her relationship with him yet or not. Not that it mattered she guessed as she watched him at the bar out of the corner of her eye, she made her way over to the water, device in hand. She slipped into the water beside Liam to his right, a sigh of relief escaping her lips as the warmth spread throughout her body.

She looked over at him and smiled before she turned her head back to the ceiling and she closed her eyes. The device in her right hand was now against the small of her back, she gave it a light nudge pushing it across just enough for it to hit Liam lightly. "Your usefulness in the Dangai hasn't been forgotten." She said this quietly, only enough so he could hear just before slumping slightly to the left so that her head would rest on his shoulder should he not move, "Seran sends his regards."

Should he have remained still she would place a small kiss on his cheek before smiling and making her way further into the water, leaving Liam with well, more gifts than he was to receive in the first place she supposed.

The approaching wasn't noticed until it was placed against her skin and the following force moved her head. Well this one wasn't social, or perhaps she'd been too forward. Either way it mattered not as she took the hint and went with the flow of his push allowing her body to fall into the water. She was done with this one, he seemed to be no fun, though the level of reiatsu he was exuding seemed to be far above her as well, from what little she could sense anyways. Playing with someone like that, that didn't want to be played with could only end in one way.

She ducked under the water and started to swim away, she'd planned on giving him a teasing kiss, but Liam seemed anything but a shy little boy. If anything, she seemed to have fouled his mood quite a bit. She wondered if something had gone amiss between him and her father, and if so, why send him a gift. Not that it mattered to her in  the end anyways. She stood to her feet in the water and noticed she was much closer to another group. The same group Seran had his eyes on.

She smiled, a somewhat mischievous look in her eyes as she slowly made her way over to them, "Hey, nice to meet you. You all seem to be having a good time," she said, waving as she approached them. She'd like to see just exactly what it was about all these people that Seran was so interested in. At least when it came to Liam, she knew it wasn't his people skills.
