The ball is passed again to the last boy to enter the classroom before. He looks tired and fails to catch it, then casually moves over to pick it up, yawning on his way back. His voice is flat and he clearly does not look happy to be here. His hair appears to be a mess, his eyes appear to show signs of sleep deprivation, his his is sleek and black down to his cheeks with bangs going across his eyes. "Kayo Nishioka, I like gaming and uh, sleep, so can I go now?"
Jun and Shugo stifle laughs at Kayo who either doesn't seem to notice or care as he passes the ball on to Sayuri, who closes her eyes indignantly and snaps at the class. "Pfft, Sayuri Taketa, and I don't like this game, it's stupid", before immediately handing it to Yuki.
"Ahhh, I'm Yuki, Yuki Mochizuki and and I like Sayuri!" Sayuri turns abruptly, a flustered look appeared on her face as she began blushing profusely, "MORON! Why did you have to say it like that?!" A moment passes as the class snickers and as Yuki's face freezes "Ehh?"... Her face slowly twists into one of horror! "NOT LIKE THAAAAT!" The class laughs louder and Sayuri takes the ball from her and hurls it straight at the girl who entered with Shugo before.
She catches the ball with a flourish and a smile, striking a pose for the whole class to see. She shouts everything as if she's an announcer for a TV show. "HEYA CLASS, I'M HIKARU SADA, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU ALL."
Shugo looks down at the ground in anger, "We know you already, drop the fucking ac-"
She interrupts him with a smile and a change of pose, "MY FAVOURITE THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS FRIENDSHIP, BUT I ALSO LIKE SINGING, DANCING AND MUSIC." A third pose, holding the dodge ball as if her hands are clasped in prayer, she continues. "IT'S MY HOPE TO SOMEDAY UNITE THE WORLD THROUGH SINGING AN-"
She continues to talk more, much to the irritation of the other students and her skills in avoiding leaving any space in her sentences for interruption are the most advanced I've seen. That is until Jun grips and pulls at the air in anger and the ball flies out of her hands and into his. "ENOUGH ALREADY." He then passed it to Miki and began to massage his forehead. An impressed Shugo held out his fist in approval and Jun paused a moment looking at it, before bumping it against one of his own.
I saw it, but I couldn't believe it. It really did look as if these kids were developing powers of some kind. Miki just stared at Jun, a little terrified. Fixated on him, she began to speak slowly. "I'm Miki and I like my pet Ca." She flinched and dropped the ball, suddenly looking down at the ground. The other students immediately froze as did I. In that moment, I could feel a terrifying chill run down my spine as all hell was about to break loose.
