Never in Nora's life has she ever sat down so quickly, but at least it's for a good reason.
The classroom door opened to Ms.Dellis sporting a million dollar smile with Maria nowhere to be found.
"I regret to inform you that your classmate Maria won't be joining us for this class, due to her getting a serious rash. But she will be back soon!"
She slowly walked to her desk before sitting on top of it with crossed legs.
A couple students closed their eyes and mumbled under their breath, probably praying for her.
"Trust that when she does get back, you'll will be the ones to help her catch up on the classwork." She leaned towards the rows of students and smiled devilishly before whispering
"We've got a lot planned for y'all today after all!"
She scanned the expressions of her students before standing up with a satisfied smile.
"Get in line, NOW."
Some of the students in the back that were still hugging from trying to get back in class on time silently criedbin their hearts, one of those people being Liger.

The classs arrived back inside the gymnasium that they now knew like the back of their hands.
But this time there were four geared up men beside two machines with ladders that looked like pill capsules. They had one glass window on the front of both where you could see a clear liquid.
The whining in the back of the lines quietted down, some kids looked excited,some confused,while some people went dead silent.
Ms.Dellis then slowly walked near the two capsules and spread her arms out in excitement.
"It's time for progress reports!"
Tori and Nora looked at each other and almost burst into tears.
"We won't be going in alphabetical order, so don't you mutts move even an inch. We will just go in the order of our lines,"
She turned to the boy who was first and gestured him over with a finger.
The boy looked confused but still came over albeit a little slowly, which was quickly fixed by Ms.Dellis reaching for the whip around her waist.
One of the guards grabbed him by the arm and pinned him to the floor before handcuffing his wrists and ankles.
"What the hell!?" A certain blonde girl exclaimed
"Is he going to jail?" A boy whispered to his friend
One crack if Ms.Dellis's whip was enough to kill the chatter.
"Your classmate isn't in any trouble, this is just for his safety."
Another guard grabbed the girl who was second in line before cuffing her as well and tossing her over their shoulder.
"This stuff will help us gauge your current physical strength, and how you've been progressing regarding your abilities."
She lazily spoke towards the children while caressing her whip.
The guards wasted no time hooking up a mask to the kids faces before the guards brought them towards the capsules.
"The down side to this method is.." she paused before looking at the capsules behind her and the guards holding the kids above the liquid by their uniforms.
"It's incredibly itchy." She looked at the liquid and frowned.
'ugh, just looking at this stuff is making me wanna claw my skin off.:
Without another word the guards dropped the students in with their uniforms before they backed off of the ladder to where Ms.Dellis was.
The two trembled in the water before muffled screams escaped the chamber of liquid.
Ms.Dellis came closer to the glass, almost putting her cheeks against it when she looked at them with intrigue.
The girl wiggled against the chamber and even tried using her mouth and feet to itch her body.
While the boy just tried his best to reach the top to get out.
One of the guards came to Ms.Dellis's side to whisper something.
And she smiled. She smiled so bright, it was like the first time they met Ms.Dellis before she went bat shit crazy.
Nora looked like she ate something rancid looking at those dreaded machines, because they did a LOT more than just gauge your innate strength.
It was more like getting everything tested at a doctor's visit, they figure out everything about your body. HECK! You couldn't even hide whether or not you have foot fungus in that stupid thing!
'shouldn't this kind of machine be reserved for juniors or seniors? I didn't even have enough time to help Tori hide her own abilities either...'
It goes in through your pores and feels like a tickle at first before it itches so bad it burns. Almost Like your getting bit by a thousand fire ants, but much worse.
A hand pulling at her shirt stopped her train if though as she turned to see a very sweaty and nervous Tori looking like her hamster died again.
(Probably a bad time to think about that, huh?)
She whispered slowly and carefully making sure that nobody could hear her.
"Nora, what do we do. .?"
Nora answered back quickly while keeping her eyes on the squirming and twisting students in the capsules.
"I don't know, I don't think we can pretend to be injured since Maria already successfully took it despite her beat down by Ms.Dellis." She bit her lip anxiously.
Tori looked at her surprised
"How do you know that??"
Nora pointed at the board near the guards labelled "results" with only one name, Maria with a 11 next to her name.
"... Am I stupid?"
"No, you're just blind as a bat." Nora huffed clearly not in the mood to joke around as she inspected the room again and again.
Even though she knew there was nothing that could help her predicament.
Tori lit up with hope and said
"Maybe we could something clear to protect our bodies? Like, maybe, ghoulish skin?"
"..." Nora thought about it for a minute or so before she huffed again.
"You think I just carry ghoulish skin on me? I only carry snacks on me most of the time because I'm scared of getting caught, OR being in more trouble than I already am!"
Tori whispered back apologeticly
"I'm sorry! You always have a bunch of stuff on you, so I assumed!"
'We're so screwed..'
