There's eldritch wind and light, and the gym teacher slumps over.

"Okay, he won't die immediately but we should probably get him to a hospital or something."

"I'll take care of that. You should get back to the cafeteria to enjoy what's left of lunch. After class, I believe you and I should start working on a training schedule," she adds that last bit to Eva.

She nods. "I think so too."

...well, back to the cafeteria, then, he supposes. He pokes the red skin on his face and winces a bit.

And he kinda wants to hold Theo's hand. So he'll do that.

That he will.

Theo winces a bit in sympathy when Sadde pokes at his face.

"What about this thing?" asks Eva, holding up the iron blade.

"I'll take care of it as well," says Norma, taking it.

Nod. "I will see you after class, then."

And off she goes too.

And that afternoon, Norma's waiting for her in the library.

"Hi!" says Eva, coming in.

"Hello, dearie."

Sadde pokes his head (face still red) inside. "Oh, good, you're here," he says, and walks in.

With at least one friend!

Theo is also here!

"Uh, hey."

"Not to be too blunt, but why are you three here?"

"I wanna learn how to fight evil things and check out the cool new books."

"I'm just here for the books."

Theo shrugs. "Moral support?"

"Very well, then." She looks at Eva. "Do you have any martial training?"

"No," she says. "I was thinking of getting some but– never did."

"Mmm. We will probably need to find a place to put practice dummies for you to hit."

"Yeah."

"I'd suggest my place but it's tiny. The graveyard, maybe?"

"My house is a possibility as well."
