Close your eyes, and imagine a world where all military advancement has come to a halt. Guns don't fire, planes don't fly, and man has never reached the moon. In this world, there exists a rather prestigious school known as Far Reach Academy, located near Britain in the this alternate present-day. Crafted by a union of the world's nations, Far Reach seeks to train the next level of soldier, be they a warrior destined for the front lines or a tactician making the calls from their chosen place. In this world, where will you stand? Will you strive to be a force for good in the world? Or will you become just another warrior, doing as you are told?
I welcome you. To FAR REACH ACADEMY!

[attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] As far as Marcus could tell he was in the clear though just to be careful he barricaded the door to the rooftop just in case that teacher was still after him "Man that lady was Craaaazy!"he said to himself with a small whistle before taking a bite out of his sandwich. After a few moments of idly chewing while watching his fellow students mill about during their lunch break whilst dangling his legs over the edge of the building his thoughts turned to why that teacher was so damn mad at him. The only thing he could think of was that he hadn't shown up to a single class yet despite the first one he was due to attend being 3 days ago and that is despite the fact he had been in the school all day today. After finishing his meal he hopped up on to the railing standing there balancing just inviting the first strong gust to blow him off and it was at that moment he heard a loud banging at the door to the roof "Aw shit!" Marcus muttered to himself before appraising his escape options and finding them sorely lacking as there where not too many other rooftops he could jump to from here though... there where some bushes. After a moment of thought about how he was going to land he said "well fuck it!" with a wide grin on his face and that mischievous glint in his eye that he get's before doing something stupid then jumped down making sure to get as sideways as possible to maximize his surface area and it was only after a couple moments of falling he saw the blond haired girl (at least he guessed girl kinda hard to tell while falling) just by the bush, though with any luck he would just barely miss her.[break][break]
The blonde girl in question was none other then the demon in human skin herself: Haruki Hyde. To tell the truth, she had very little reason to be out where she was other then her own mental health. The amount of inane complaining she'd been forced to endure within the last twelve hours was just about enough to make her head burst, so she'd desired somewhere quiet. Truth be told she should have been in her AP Aikido class, but she knew essentially the entire art as it was, so she'd decided she'd get some fresh air.
And maybe go over the basics of what she'd begun learning of Bojutsu. Thankfully her uncle had been available to begin teaching her what he knew, although they'd only been able to practice over the weekends. However, that was a bit irrelevant at this point, as a form had just dropped out of the air behind her. Now, to say it hadn't startled Haruki a bit was a vast assumption. She'd jumped, but she didn't exactly shoot three feet into the air. She'd merely tensed up a slight bit at the noise, though it looked like the boy had landed into the bush behind her. Part of her dearly hoped he hadn't seen her startle, though she quickly realize it wouldn't matter if the fall had killed him.
She sighed, she didn't really care about being nice to people, but if he died then she'd probably end up responsible, and she preferred for that not to be the case. As a result, she turned herself around after a moment and approached the bush slowly, trying her best to appear as innocent as she could. "Hey... are you alright?" she asked, taking a bit of care to sound like the adorable girl she appeared as. It wasn't too hard, all things considered, though if he did turn out fine she'd probably drop the act as easily as she'd put it on.
Because as stated before, she merely didn't want his death pinned on her. In fact, that was the last thing she wanted. She still had to become a Royal, after all. Admittedly she could still probably outwit whatever enforcement attempted to pin her to this kid's death, but in forethought that was seeming to be more of a pain in her ass then she felt like dealing with.
If he was dead she'd just simply walk away calmly. She didn't do anything, so what would she have to worry about. It was his fault for falling off of the roof of the Academy. Granted, he probably had his reasons, but Haruki couldn't be bothered to clue into the plans of some random stranger. Not yet, at least.

[attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] Marcus Hopped out of the bush in a dramatic fashion causing leaves to fly everywhere as he exited and landed with a small "Oooph". Marcus took a moment to eye her up and down as if appraising her "Hmm relaxed posture, cutesy tone, cute face... as far as i can tell no sense of alarm whatsoever" he thought to himself before breaking out into one of his usual grin "Ha I'm a-okay" at this remark he did a couple stretches "Believe it or not that would not be my first time fleeing a rooftop via bush" after a couple of moment he extended out his hand "By the way I'm Marcus possibly a classmate of yours, I wouldn't really know yet".[break][break]
Haruki sensed a chance. This male seemed rather friendly at the very least, given how he'd openly admitted to having done such a thing many times before. Not only that, but he'd given her his name without a second thought.
Perhaps I could utilize him, Haruki thought to herself as Marcus asked for her name.
"A-A-Ano... H-Haruki Hyde," she responded, using a few of her own tricks to turn her face red as she stuttered, keeping her cute act up a little longer. She was actually enjoying it for once, though she had to make sure she didn't get too comfortable with it lest she actually become as cutesy as she was pretending to be. He'd mentioned they were possibly classmates, something that actually caused Haru to give a bit of pause. If he was a classmate, she certainly didn't remember seeing him before then. Perhaps they'd only one class together, or maybe she'd just never paid enough attention to care about his presence. Judging by his entrance he seemed to be a rather interesting individual, spastic perhaps. She looked up at the roof above them for a moment before turning her gaze back to Marcus.
"What were you doing way up there?" she asked politely. It was almost out of her nature to do such a thing, but she desired mroe information, and was certain that being her usual self would only harm that goal. It was best that she keep this up for the time being, at least until she was satisfied with the results she had obtained, or until this man went on his way. Additionally, if he had heard of the nasty things people tended to spew about her, she could always play it off as them bullying her. If that didn't work, well. She had ways to compensate for that.

[attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] Marcus paused for a moment and examined Haruki rather blatantly for a couple seconds "Hmmmm she seems... interesting" he thought to him self, the look in his eyes sharpening from his usual friendly intensity to one that seemed almost piercing and the corners of his mouth turning up into an almost malicious grin "I'll have to stick around for a bit". With that thought the unusual expression on his face that only lasted for but a moment disappeared and was replaced by his typical yet still overwhelming casual demeanor "You sure think a lot. Anyway I seemed to have pissed off a rather disciplinary focused professor by not showing up to any classes but still rolling around to check out the campus" Marcus said as if there wasn't anything unusual about his behavior whatsoever "But I mean come on I've never actually managed to catch a ship to Britain before so I had to go see the sights" after he said this a wide grin broke out on Marcus' face. "Oh and by the way my last name is Walker, figured I should give you mine since you gave me yours"[break][break]
