Having arrived back from the Spa trip, Mari wastes no time beating on the door of the teacher lounge and trying to get answers out of Ota, most of which he gave a round about answer for or seemingly ignored. Not satisfied with this, Mari marches her way into the depths of the administrative zones of the school and directly enters the Principal's Office. The door was open and she was not about to be turned away.
"Ah morning Mrs. Nakao what can I do for you," Principal Amagi asked, raising an eyebrow at the feline with a mission coming in like it was life or death. She sat down after placing some files up offering Mari a seat in front of her as she adjusted in her chair.
Taking the offered seat, Mari stares at the other, her tail curling around her waist.
"Principal Amagi, I'm here in regards to my status as present Field Leader of Class 07. Of note I wish to have answers. Should I be responsible for the life and deaths of my comrades, then I would like to know who Irokei Iniji is. He was never once in Hero School minus his failed attempt and neither was he trained by any pro. I am also aware of ANVIL having something to do with this. Instructor Ota will not give me a straight answer, and Iniji is very much unable to keep his answers straight. He is a rather terrible liar."
"Hm I see. How bold of you to assume you hold such authority to demand things of me," Principal Amagi responded, having a blank face showing no reaction to what Mari had brought to the table. In fact it was almost positive that Mari was about to see herself out via Laser trip. She was however greeted with a smirk giving Mari respect for her approach.
"No doubt hard to hold up a house of lies," Amagi responded, pushing a button on her desk that shut the doors aggressively as Amagi placed a gag paper.
"If you want to know you have to sign this. It states you under any thing said past this point you are not allowed to repeat as required by ANVIL, and the Dietary office," she expressed waiting to see how the little kitten would respond to that.
"Ah, so he is more than what it seems.. But for ANVIL to recommend him, hmm.."
Looking at the paper, Mari signs it without much thought. Or rather she voiced those thoughts. "The fact such a paper is needed allows me to assume the worst and I never had any intention of sharing what I learned with the others. They can learn on their own. I need to know what I am dealing with to make better use of him, or at least steer him away from what he was used as. Given he tried to chop the arm off of the pro we fought when asked to "take care of them" tells me much."
"He's going through a specialized rehabilitation program. I am not allowed to go fully into detail, but basically he was molded, and turned into a child assassin by a prior threat that ANVILS been hunting for quite a long time. You remember the big bad number 1 villain Penumbra who was taken down about three years ago," she asked simply to make sure Mari had a full understanding of what was about to be explained.
She had expected some form of criminal history, but a Child Assassin was a bit much, though she was starting to recall a boy that failed the UA selection test. "And what is the risk that his former Employers will come for him? Though yes, it was never made quite clear what happened to Penumbra.. I however always found the official story to be too.. Convenient."
"It's possible that there could be two scenarios: either they try to reclaim him, or they set out to kill him as a traitor. The nature of his group is hard to decipher in full; they are a religious faction type. Apparently past that we know very little, but what he was made aware of was that they were a part of Penumbra financial sector. Past that he didn't know any actual names as they used codes. Knew nothing of their plans, or operation he was simply given purpose, and a target. The people he took from life however were less than desirable," Amagi explained leaning forward with a sigh as she tilted her face to the cat.
"ANVIL caught him extremely easily as he turned himself in once his conscience caught up with him. At first he was considered a nut case, but when he started to give what small details he had it became clear he was telling the full truth," she said, pulling out Iniji's folder placing it in front of Mari.
"I was there on the hero's end when all that went down, and let me tell you one day when you, and your team are ready to hear it I'll tell you what went down really, and why I hold heartedly think Suppression's tactics will be very much necessary. As for Iniji, Anvil believes he deserves a chance as he still has his soul, just many bad decisions lined up to swallow him whole for a bit. But like a hero sometimes you have to hit the dark below to truly crawl into the light," she expressed a bit of poetic nonsense but with a clear meaning to it.
"I don't know about that." She says after a while, taking in the information, bit by bit. "Has his soul, is a rather, should I say...abstract thing for the state to focus on. If I had to guess, The General Inspector was feeling a bit sorry for him, you are looking to score points for your program and knowing the Oni's mother, she is using him as bait. Part of why Captain Ota is here.. The other part of him being here, I'm sure you have some idea."
Running a hand under her chin, she continues. "Which is also why you all chose me for the position I am in. Most of my classmates would have reacted poorly to this or not understand the nuances of politics.. A question being if they will keep me here.."
Laying the folder back on the table after a quick look she sighs. "I personally find it..reprehensible that he is here, he is a man that learned to run before he could walk and now we must teach him to walk.. His issues will likely never go away.. His story needs a lot more work, one day all the rest or some of them may put this all together on their own, more so if ANVIL's bait gets a bite..."
It was then that she exhaled heavily; "..however, this group is a clear threat to Japan and I can see the necessity of this evil. I may wonder what the ministers and you all were thinking, to agree to this, but I chose to put my faith in the nation and in keeping it as the Japan I know, if not with some improvements… Order is more important than Justice, all I can do is aid the efforts in directing him..or at least to turn my head and try to correct his errors in communication.. For as long as I have this duty at least."
Mari has shown the nasteir aspects of her personality, or maybe they were also a necessary evil. "That is why you picked me, isn't it? This is one..interesting class you put together, him aside."
"No, my program was already good to go before Iniji came along. Anvil asked me in favor of this. I was actually going to reject it until Ota brought me to a statement hearing from Iniji. When you work this line of work for a lifetime like me you can tell when someones faking or lying at a certain point. And the demons that haunt that boy, and the regret is very real if you ever get him to open up, ask him yourself," Agami surprisingly countered part of Mari's intuition.
"And yes Anvils higher up are using him as bait, but Ota his actual guardian is not," she explained taking the file back as she chuckled at Maris' question to if this is why she was chosen.
"You are indeed a unique bunch from all different walks of life. Children of numerous powerful backgrounds, and more estranged ones as well. A unique blend compared to every other class. Wonder what will come out of it," Amagi answered ominously as she tapped her fingers against her desk.
"You indeed are a ruthless mind ergo yes it was indeed part of your assessment into this group by my decision. Though with that said I have faith in you all to protect each other, anything else miss Nakao," she asked bluntly.
"Hmm.. Now here you are making me seem like a Villain. I may talk to him however when I see he has a need for it." Thinking about the rest of this she shrugs. "Instructor Ota is a rather good man I think. However I have no further questions.. I have no intentions on letting any of us die if I can help it.. Still this was more than I was expecting. Maybe I will give him help in making up a better lie.. Though should I.." Asking that of herself rather than the principle, she gives a bow. "Maybe the next time I wander up here it will be to bring you a nice hot cup of tea and some biscuits, it would not do if I came up here only when there was trouble. Good day Madam Principle."
"A good day to you as well, Miss Nakoa green tea is preferred," Agami chuckled as she sighed. This class was indeed in for a rough road.

After the spa day, and quite a bit of lecturing over damaged property to which potentially placed Isa, Agi, Vitalis, Amon and Kaizen on a watch list for future use the days at Suppression started to move fast with the class adapting the training regiments, and opening up to newer skills necessary on the field like medical aid, stealth tactics, special equipment usage, and many other strategies.
Before long it had been two months since the school year started. Everything was leading up to what the third month was all about live usage on the field. The students would be broken up into groups patrolling around the Tohoku region. Lately the hero presence had been a bit lacking as things had settled pretty well which made it a good spot for the students to run into legit scenarios other heroes wouldn't interfere in.
Principal Amagi stressed the importance of caution as though they were already carrying their hero licenses that they shouldn't take on more than they could chew. If things were to go south they were immediately to let Ota know.
"Good Morning Class." Ota says as he walks around the field, in place of the classroom there were a couple vans waiting for the group and a roll out screen was displayed. "Today Class 07 shall be patrolling the South Eastern District, in principle not too much is here other than a few chemical factories, storage and there is a residential and shopping district. Today you all will be patrolling this sector in place of some pro's. In the future other districts might be used. This will be the only Briefing I'll be giving unless there is a need. For now I turn everything over to Kalico Kid." He says, taking a few steps away from the screen, where Mari would be quick to take up position.
"Okay everyone, for today's patrol teams look up at the screen and use your ears.
Group One shall be Ion Storm, Voltess, Corvus and Apex Bugster
Group Two shall be I Kalico Kid, Vigridis, Ai-Sharp, Oni Meetsu and Chameleo
Group Three shall be Diva Vu, Skycolor, Bittersweet, Jabberwock and Jetstream
And finally Group Four shall be Hollow, Miasma, Hotshot and Lifeblood.
The screen then read the following;
Agi, Kaizen, Yori, and Katsumi
Mari, Vigridis, Mituo, Isa and Aika
Amano, Goto, Ichika, Amon, and Iniji
Haya, Vitalis, Kuroi, and Hideki.
"Leaders shall be, Ion Storm with Apex Bugster as his second in group one..
Group two, it is I, with Oni Meetsu as my second.
Group three shall be Diva Vu as leader and Bittersweet as second.
And lastly Group four shall be led by Hollow with Hotshot as second.
Nominally our teams shall operate in a fully grouping, but events may make it necessary to split the team, if this is done make sure the 2nd group is ran by your second in command or by one you have chosen.
For communications, I will be bringing my communications gear and we have our short ranged communicators as well as cell phones. I ask that you report when you are facing a situation if it is of note, such as a criminal incident. Should you wish to divy up your teams or carry out a roving patrol, that is also on you but do not go too far.
We shall play this by our regulations and I hope without serious harm. If I do not respond to your communications of importance, give my ten minutes at most. If I have not responded by then, assume my team is engaged with some manner of business. Also do not leave your subdistricts from patrol unless called for. If we rush without a plan to another's aid then those districts will be left without support."
With that she pauses. "Any questions?"
