PE Teacher Amaris Alucard
Interactions: Nyx
Amaris stood in front of her mirror, the slender woman with long dark hair had blank looks in her eyes. She looked defeated already. She was staring at her naked upper chest. Dark black web-like scars raged out from the middle of her abdominal region like a black sun, and stretched across her form like a mesh-work of decay, all originating from her womb. Which itself was a blackened blot without a single spot of normal skin-tone. She sighed, and pulled on her shirt. With darkened, colorless eyes, she observed the black streaks descending her arm. A moment later she tugged her long sleeve down.
She stepped out of her bathroom to meet another woman who had become a friend recently. The school nurse.
"I know you said to not overexert myselfh, but I thhink thiss will be good for me." She sat down next to Nyx, looking at her. She raised her arm and flexed, grimacing slightly.
"I need to work on myselfh jusst like the students. My performancce hassn't been as good as it wass in the passt. Thiss will help me get better at quirk control again. Jusst like the students." Despite her more monotone voice, there was a clear tone of hopefulness.
"Thhanks for looking after me today, but I need to get to classs."
Nyx smiled to Amaris,
"I will be joining you, remember." she stated as she took a deep breath,
"Just don't overdo it. I am there to help you and to make sure that each student is able to get the attention they need when they need it, immediately." she had been thinking on this all day. After she did her inventory, got her list approved. She had assigned everyone their duties and started to make sure that she was ready when the time came for her to do her part in the next stage of learning.
Of course, that included taking the time to check on Amaris, which was the reason that she had come to her office to make sure she was okay.
"Plus, there is no way that you would be able to complete this task in your state if you weren't so stubborn, I will make sure that this still helps you in the long run, should we go?" she asked motioning for Amaris to leave the room, not that she minded the time in the office, but Ota would be done with his part.
Nyx had not had much time with Ota, to get to know him. In the time that they had both been in the school, Ota was not someone that needed her to heal him until things got really bad, which happened once a year and even then, she was alone. She had no time to heal him and chit-chat. She did have his profile memorized, as she had with every student and facility, in order to make sure that she didn't use her chi on them, doing more bad than good. There was a lot more to her quirk than anyone knew, and it took a lot from her to use it than most. Agami was familiar with the task of staying alive that Nyx faced with her quirk, but it was only because she had seen the worse of Nyx's quirk. Much like all quirks, there was always a way to make it unstoppable, but that was something that was best held back when you are on your last toe.
For now, Nyx expected Ota to be like his profile, which meant that he had done his part, added his student information, and let everyone know about the new student. Nyx herself had started to make a plan to watch what Haya could do, before talking to Agami about maybe taking some time of Haya's to teach her to use her sound for healing. It was something she was looking forward to, being able to take on students of her own, not just with Amaris but alone. It was also something she was concerned with, But she was sure that she could get Katsumi, Kuroi, and Agi to join Haya in the private matter of teaching some healing. It would be more work, but with Agami's approval, she thought that it would be a good addition to their P.E. lesson and to their team. She had a list of students' quirks that were able to be of some use in healing but these four were in this class.
A small smile appeared on the Alucard's lips.
"Thhank you again, and I won't. Yess. Let uss go." She stated, standing up, and tugging on and smoothing out her uniform.

Interactions: Vitalis, and class
She always thought it was a bit ironic that she was the physical education teacher, considering she needed physical therapy. But maybe that was the reason she was assigned this class. Speaking in her usual monotone, she introduced herself.
"My name iss Amariss Alucard." She preferred to hear her name over the 'Alucard' part, but that wasn't typically how students addressed their teacher, so she was prepared to hear a lot of 'Ms. Alucards' and 'Alucard-senseis'.
"Today, you all will be in a team of two. The goal of today's training iss to observe your teamwork and your abilitiess of subterfuge. Thiss iss a stealthh operashun, where you will attempt to procure the enemy'ss intel. As for your pairing, one will infiltrate the enemy'ss basse, and the othher will be on comms for you in a van outsiide. They will have accesss to the bases's security cameras. They will be your guide. It iss your job to reachh and grab the intel before being 'captured' by the enemy. -By me. I will play that part. Eachh team will be after a different piecce of info. Eachh layout will change allowing the groupss to be creativve; honesstly thiss iss more about learning to communicate and handle your partner'ss stresss levelss equally. Sso keep that in mind."
"Mom..? Mommy?"
Came a small, teensy voice out of nowhere. Really breaking up the monotone speak of the teacher before the class. Surprised by the sudden interruption, Amaris's attention was stolen away.
A small black-and-white haired girl stepped out from behind the taller students. There was a concerned look on her face, as she peered at the woman in front of them. As if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Amaris had read the dossiers of her students, and knew her daughter was in this class. -In her class. It had been a shock to the woman. But she had also equally felt excitement, and pride. She had been so eager for this class! Eager to see her daughter! She had wanted to run straight to her daughter the very first day. Still, she had exercised restraint. Restraint to meet her this day.
Now all Amaris could do was stare at her daughter. Unable to speak. Unable to move. Unable to do anything. This was the first time seeing her daughter in all of her life (except for pictures). Amaris swallowed.
For Vitalis, she had no idea her mother was out of the hospital. She had assumed her mother would never recover. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever thought she would not only meet her mother, but get to speak to her! Get to see her up and about! Get to hear her voice! In fact, the only reason she knew the woman before her was her mother, was the fact she had introduced herself by name.
Suddenly, Vitalis raced forward. The short girl latched around her mother's waist.
"Mom!!!" she cried out, bawling her eyes out.
"Mom! Mom! Mom!!!" She repeated, unable to really voice anything she was thinking or feeling.
For Amaris, this was technically embarrassing. Highly unprofessional...
She couldn't help but be overcome with emotion, too. Breaking the tight hold, she sunk down and suddenly wrapped her arms around her daughter, who latched right back to her. Tears fell out of her otherwise lifeless eyes. Mother and daughter were locked in an embrace.
"My darling girl... I'm ssorry. I'm sso ssorry! I shhould've been there for you! I'm ssorry for taking sso long!!"
Vitalis couldn't believe her mother was up and about. But whatever her mother was apologizing for just sounded like utter nonsense. She was overjoyed to finally see her mother recovered! To see her on her feet and talking! To Vitalis, it was a miracle!
"Nnoo.. It'ss okay..! Mom! I misssed you!! I'm jusst happy you're awake! I'm jusst sso happy!!" Vitalis cried out, now wetting her shoulder instead of her waist with her endless tears.
The girl squeezing her was causing her some discomfort. Even pain, but all she focused on was how happy she was. The physical pain was inconsequential. Amaris's heart swelled.
"Yess. You're right. I misssed you, too, my beautiful daughter."
"I'm ssorry, mom! I'm ssorry! I shhouldn'tve been born! I didn't mean to hurt you!!"
Amaris frowned. She pulled back, then brought her hand down, placing it on her head.
"No. Don't ever ssay that. You have nothhing to apologizze for! I am sso happy I brought you into thiss world! What happened wass worthh it. Worthh you, my baby girl." Amaris countered, placing her hands on both of Vitalis's cheeks, holding her face in her hands.
Using her thumbs, she rubbed her daughter's cheeks free of tears. Then seemed to remember where they were. She stood back up.
"Daughter. Vitaliss, did you hear what I ssaid about the tassk today?" Her daughter nodded.
"Good. Now return to the otherss. I sstill have a classs to teachh. But you and I will talk again later. Okay?"
Vitalis sniffled, staring up at her mother with glittering eyes. She nodded.
A small smile appeared on Amaris's lips.
"Good. Now, go."
Vitalis nodded and skittered back to the others, hiding behind them in embarrassment.
Amaris cleared her throat, glancing across the class.
"Okay. Back to what I wass ssaying..." Despite the joy she was feeling, the teacher was also feeling embarrassment. To think this was her introduction to the class!
"Alright, pairs have already been decided. Join your teammate when you're name iss called. Okay." She cleared her throat again, and looked down at the list. Her eyes narrowed, recognizing another name. Another from her family. However, being professional, the woman continued.
"Vigidriss will be guiding Ichhika. Aika will be guiding Amon. Kaizzen will be guiding Mitssuo. Agi will be guiding... Vitaliss." She peered up at her daughter, then back down to the list.
"Goto will be guiding Hideki. Issa will be guiding Katssumi. Amano will be guiding Yori. Iniji will be guiding Haya. And lastly, Kuroi will be guiding Mari."
She held the list under her arms as she folded them.
"Alright, join your partner. Oh, and letss ssay, you're only "caught" if you are tagged four timess."
Amaris gave them a minute to find their partner. Then she clapped.
"Okay, now that you're withh your partner, letss head to the siight. Follow me." With a glance at her daughter standing beside the dark-haired boy, she turned and lead the class away.
