After cleaning up the classroom and laying out worksheets for the next day on their desks, he made his way to the courtyard to read and keep an eye on the hallways. The staff member had asked him earlier to help him and the other staff to make sure students were in their dorms before curfew.

He didn't think there were going to be any issues, since most students knew better. He flipped through the book, chewing his bookmark idly as he did so before he heard footsteps rushing towards him and he looked up seeing a group of students charging at him.

"∴𝙹ᔑ⍑ ∴𝙹ᔑ⍑ ∴𝙹ᔑ⍑. ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ 'ᓭ ⊣𝙹╎リ⊣ 𝙹リ?" He asked quickly, closing his book and getting to his feet.

"∴ᒷ リᒷᒷ↸ ⍑ᒷꖎ!¡. ᓭ𝙹ᒲᒷ 𝙹⎓ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ !¡∷𝙹⎓ᒷᓭᓭ𝙹∷ᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ ᔑ∷⊣⚍╎リ⊣ ᔑリ↸ ∴ᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎リꖌ ╎ℸ ̣ 'ꖎꖎ ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ⍊╎𝙹ꖎᒷリℸ ̣. ∴ᒷ ↸𝙹リ'ℸ ̣ ꖌリ𝙹∴ ᔑʖ𝙹⚍ℸ ̣ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣." One said, bending over placing their hands on their knees panting.

Arguing? What on earth is going on...? He thought. "ꖎᒷᔑ↸ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ∴ᔑ||." He said quickly. The students nodded and quickly did as told, explaining what they could. Xelqua listened carefully, thinking of reasons. Soon enough they got to three professors arguing near some of the student's dormitories.

He could see some students poking their heads out of their rooms confused or concerned. He thanked the other students before asking them to return to their rooms and stepped up to the arguing three. "!¡∷𝙹⎓ᒷᓭᓭ𝙹∷ᓭ. ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ╎ᓭ ⊣𝙹╎リ⊣ 𝙹リ?! ∴⍑|| ᔑ∷ᒷ ||𝙹⚍ ℸ ̣ ⍑∷ᒷᒷ ᔑ∷⊣⚍╎リ⊣ ᔑℸ ̣ ᓵ⚍∷⎓ᒷ∴ ╎リ ⎓∷𝙹リℸ ̣ 𝙹⎓ ↸𝙹∷ᒲᓭ?!" He asked sharply, crossing his arms.

The professors all turned to him and their heated conversation faltered momentarily. All three spoke at once, trying to explain their side of things. From what Xelqua could make out, it was over some stupid reason including their students and exams. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose before looking at them.

Xelqua narrowed his eyes, stepping forward once more.

The professors fell silent looking at him, suddenly unable to argue. The look in his eyes was unsettling. Soon one got the courage to go against him, "ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ╎ᓭ リ𝙹リᒷ 𝙹⎓ ||𝙹⚍∷ ᓵ𝙹リᓵᒷ∷リ."

Xelqua squinted his eyes and got repressively close to them and they gulped looking up at him. They went to open their mouth before Xelqua put a hand firmly on their shoulder. "ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ᓵ𝙹リ⍊ᒷ∷ᓭᔑℸ ̣ ╎𝙹リ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ᓵᒷᔑᓭᒷ ᔑリ↸ ||𝙹⚍ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ∷ᒷℸ ̣ ⚍∷リ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ||𝙹⚍∷ ∷𝙹𝙹ᒲᓭ." He slowly spoke, a frown which turned into a scowl spread on his face.
