The irony of telling people to calm down is something that is beyond my comprehension. The more you told someone to calm down, the more they'll panic. And panicking in an uncertain situation will cause an unwanted commotion. The ability to stay levelheaded in this kind of situation can only be achieved by those who possess a collective nature and by far, 99% of the students in Yūei doesn't know the meaning of staying calm.

When the alarm went off, and was followed by an announcement that there had been a level three security breached and that all students should evacuate, everyone stood and ran towards the door out of the cafeteria. Todoroki and I were stuck in between the swarm of students who are rushing out the corridor. Somewhere on the far side of the hallway, I saw the familiar redhead and blonde haired students whom I believe are my classmates yelling through the noise and trying to calm everyone until they were swept by the sea of students. Even I am having a hard time breathing through the small space of crowded students.

"Are you okay?" Todoroki asked. I tilted my head and look at him to see that he's already looking at me, his brows ceased in a somewhat worried expression though it's hard to tell because he rarely show any sort of emotion.

"Yeah, I'm fi–" someone accidentally elbowed me, the force pushed me and my back landed on the glass window. But what took me by surprise was when Todoroki went with all the trouble to place his arms beside me in an act of protection. With him standing in such close proximity, I felt the warmth again. It didn't bother me to say the least, in fact I liked it. I rarely feel this kind of warmth that I'm thankful I get to feel it once in a while.
