Sehki sucked his teeth. "Just watch every hazing done to me for that," debating whether or not to go all out: eleven vs one was suicide even for him. "My friends are being hurt, we can talk later."

Mako raised a finger. "A unit is only as strong as their leader," noticing the clothed Goat recording, asking why.

"It's Rubin Yangren, and mala suerte to you," summoning a clone via Leo Minor StellArts to kick him, briefly combing his hair. "Now, we're going to do our own investigation on you."

"Shouldn't we do something to stop them though," Vena asked.

"No way," said Bao Zhe, slicing off meat with an axe, letting the other half bounce off his stout body to Hyuga. "Power is all you need in this world. They should be able to handle themselves."

Meng Basia caught it to Hyuga's frustration, with a calm, reserved shaved beard and goggles. "Seeking only power is a death sentence. But you can't even rely on your own friends? No wonder they lost to Lumin."

Sehki sucked his teeth. "I see where your brother gets his temper from."

"You don't know the half of it."

Mako commanded Dango Azuki to feast off Sehki and gather his data. The young woman with purple hair protruded a snake targeted at his legs. Fearing something similar to Gorgon, he spotted meat from their dropped plates, picked it up with his mouth, and offered it to the snake.

It pivoted, consuming it, and slid on his face, rubbing his cheek. He giggled.

"Awnh, you remind me of an old friend from when I was younger. Dango, was it? You've got a good partner. Just don't forget to feed him, unlike some people I know," sending it back to her.

"Wait, do you know my co," cut off by Tenshia Tao sculpting a javelin blade pointed at him.

"Why did you fight Xia that night in the forest? Did you set her up?"

"I was trying to leave. She wanted a rematch, so I gave it to her. I didn't know she talked to Cluster. That's why I got the guys to go rescue her. Are you her rival in those battle tournaments?"

"Rival? Well," failing to hide her embarrassment and her stern nature, dropping her phoenix helmet to reveal two orange buns on her head with short fringe bangs.

Holy crap she's cute.

"I mean her and I haven't interacted enough but I'd," slapping her face, "you're the reason I can't challenge her?"

Does she have a - she does!

"I support you. When she gets out, show her everything you've got!"

"D-don't talk like you know her!"

Arian snickered, laughing. "Trying to flirt with another girl," wacking him in the face. "Wow, you sounded so cute defending your pet bitch to the world!

Calypsa? He grimaced. "Why, I'm looking right at her."

She turned back, confused, and he spat at her eye once she turned back.

"Once she gets out, I can't wait to chain you both up for some payback. Then who knows what'll I'll make the other heirs stupid enough to help you do?"

"Keep your yaoi fanfiction to yourself."

"Fanfiction?" Vital raised an eyebrow. "How'd you know she writes on Story Bearer?"

"She does? Is it good? Do people like it?"

He shook his head.

"Hey!"

Mako glared at all of them.
"It seems most of you always have distractions that need to be eliminated."

Sehki already looked down at all of their shadows collected together, and hearing his friends in need of aid, there was only one possible mythological event he could cause to prevent the damage as Cassie's attack was about to spread towards the whole cafeteria.

With one rip from the ground, his wave rose all the plates that dropped before, sending the food splashing down on the members of the Rising Twelve, distracting Arian long enough for him to dive into the darkness and kick an orange at her face with two deadly words of power to unleash.

"Food fight!"

He formed a platform at the last second to evade Arian's counter throw, as the orange smacked Cassie in the face, who he pointed to. While she shifted focus to attack them, his fireball struck the fruit, exploding the juices on Pryalis and doused his flames about to light Lorena up.

She spat out her own water spell rapidly to bring him to his knees as the other students started throwing food all around at one another. Hunger, Easel jumped to consume as much food as possible, allowing Delphine, Kayla, and Nyla time to try and restrain her.

Fari attempted to get to Cree but Candy activated her Callisto's Dre. Fari snatched lettuce and swallowed it, tanking her slash at full force and cracking her ice armor with several punches. Cree kicked his way in between them, constantly hitting her fists back.

Bao and Paleun Jwi ran after Sehki when Lorena lept of Pyralis. The former crashed in him, but the greasy haired young adult with a short stature shrinked on her arms as she ran, prompt Sehki to coat her in darkness to smack him off.

"That's a StellArt?"

"Microscopium. Change in mass affects impact. I'll hold them off, stop the Malora one!" She chucked him into the sky where Cassie was chasing Arian.

Hyuga's magnetic wave allowed Meng's ignition, Rubin's clones, Dango's snakes, Tenshia's weapons and skeleton to shield Mako while Vena and Vital tried to shoot her down via his orders:

Beat them before Sehki's group.

Noticing the twins' attempts, he jumped into their attacks to blast him towards Arian about to fire another Malora's Cast: flinging a plate, halting the attack fast enough to cover her into a dark sphere, kicking her towards the ground before her fists could crack it open.

As he descended, Damien approached Vena and Vital, about to embrace him when Mako brutality kicked the dog into the air.

"Worthless distraction."

Sehki exploded.
