That Shikamaru sure knew how to wound with his tongue. Akira was a firm believer of what he just said, and the alleged truth of it was perhaps why it almost served to pierce through her calm demeanor. It wasn't just the words, but especially the fact that they were coming from a kid in Magnolia, the land of Fairy Tail, they felt a lot bigger in magnitude. Clearly, they chaffed her far more that Tsuru, who remained quite impassive and indifferent. Her fists clenched again and her breathing got deeper, it took a fair bit of self control to not lash out at the student, but he'd just made an enemy out of her. She slunk behind him slowly... 'Considering you need evening classes, I doubt even Rune Knights would take you...' she muttered savagely and softly as she leaned against the wall directly behind the boy.
She kept an eye out for the sleeping children, now with a bag full of all the paper from the cupcakes Tsuru had consumed, unwilling to litter, the healer had carefully collected them in search of a dustbin... Now they proved to be good ammunition. While she practiced aiming, her partner distributed goodies among the kids... she smacked her forehead with her palm. If she cared enough, she would have protested, but she wasn't really bothered about how much the students retained. Her partner took a seat next to that Shikamaru boy, who had the most number of crumpled papers next to him, ever since Akira took a special liking to him, or dislike rather. The Shimada even threw a couple even when he wasn't asleep... The teacher seemed to turn a blind eye to their little feud.
As the class drew to a close two sleepy heads decorated the back bench and Akira just sighed. The teacher walked up to her and smiled, as she prodded the student gently. 'Class is over, get outta here.' the woman said, almost fondly, despite everything. 'His heart is in the right place... I have another favor to ask you, could you please teach the kids tomorrow? I never skip classes but I really have to be somewhere, I will pay you double of this...[/color]' she said holding out a sizable pouch of money '... which is for today... They kids are better in the day too...' Akira heaved another long sigh before nodding, narrowing her eyes towards Tsuru she accepted, the lady's request. 'Since my partner is so well rested, I'm sure he could turn up and handle the bunch tomorrow and I'll keep an eye out...' the dark-dweller offered, before grabbing Tsuru by the ear and tugging him out. 'Oi we're done here... off we go.'
