Recruiting. (Justin then Open)

"Heh.... You almost remind me of him..." Matrim shook his head, "Nevermind that. Justin, I brought you here to ask you something."

Yes... this kid would be a great fit to the team, and to my plan. Just have to convince him that he'd also be getting some good out of this. After all, he will get protected from all of us.

"Call it a gang, call it by it's formal name, but I'm a part of the St. Paragon's Enforcement Squad. Group of really good strong kids with control over their Qi's. We're mostly about protecting our own, keeping order in the school, and being the overall student authority. If you become a member, I can guarantee your safety. Not saying you can't hold your own, but it's always nice to have friends, right?"

Matrim then went on, "The leader is the son of the late Kane Hikari. His name is Alex, has a powerful Qi ability, has a good head on his shoulder and he leads the whole thing. He's beaten me in a fight and that's saying a lot. So what do you say? I know theres more to the whole convincing people part of this group, but I seem to have misplaced our brochures."

The joke was one he came up with on the spot, and he gave himself kudos for coming up with it.

Justin listened to Matrim and then another kid… one Kane spoke of …walked up… but he couldn’t remember the kids name. but then he introduced himself. Justin smiled and held out his left hand saying “The name’s Justin, substitute shop teacher… or at least I was… oh well, I guess I need to prove I am useful to this little gang if I am to join?” he had skipped all formalities of thinking and all of that and merely went with the fact that these people would probably protect him.

He then walked over, not waiting to hear a response, to the center of the courtyard where no one was standing anymore and he knelt down and touched his hands softly to the earth below. Referencing his position to the map in front of him he smiled and let his Qi flow. Knowing there would rather quickly be a consequence he moved fast and brought the nearest turret to life. The barrels spun round and round as it rose out of the ground and prepared to fire in the ground in front of him, it unloaded rounds rapidly into the ground moving quickly across to spell out his name in the ground(rather inaccurately) afterwards he quickly put the turret away and stood up with a smile on his face, hoping to end everything before he got hit.

“The name’s Justin, substitute shop teacher… or at least I was… oh well, I guess I need to prove I am useful to this little gang if I am to join?” Alex nodded at the guy to acknowledge he heard him, it appeared Justin had skipped all formalities and gone straight to the point. " Yes, you will." Alex asnswred, though right after he had said this, he did not expect to see Justin prove himself right at this moment.

He watched as Justin moved over to the center of the courtyard and placed his hands on the ground. At that moment, Alex's eyes flashed, did this guy know where the turret was located!? The answer was yes, as the turret appeared from the ground and began shooting the rounds in it, spelling out a name, rather inaccurately actually.

Alex, all the while this took place, his eyes calmed down and he now looked calm and cool, as if this was a daily occurance. Inside his head however, he was thinking either Justin knew where the turrets were located via his MAC, or he was hiding more than he was letting on. Matrim however, looked like he had seen a ghost. "Uhh.... did that really just happen? Those were rubber bullets right.... please tell me those were rubber bullets....." " Sorry, but no, those weren't rubber bullets, only the Gym teacher uses rubber bullets." Alex replied calmly, his arms folded.

After calming down, Matrim spoke again, this time to Justin. "Justin..... that was.... interesting to say the least....So.... I'm sold. What do you think?" Alex turned to face Matrim, and then turned his attention to Justin. " Welcome to our gang Justin." He dug into his bag and pulled out a bandanna with the gang's emblem on it. " This is proof that you're in our gang, among our ranks, no one will cross you, although if it's a teacher, I can't guarantee they won't hurt you, but other students will think twice before crossing you." he said, holding out the bandanna for Justin to take.
