xxx ___═════════════_│║█│██║██║│ * ___════════════════════════════════════════════════xxxAnemone's hands raised to cover her mouth in horror as the ball hit Juno in the chest. She had expected him to at least catch it; instead it just bounced off him with a thump. Her hands dropped to her side and she was about to blurt out an apology- but was interrupted by Sharp Shooter's loud cheer.xxx"E-eh?!" Anemone stammered, taken aback as Juno jogged up to her. She stared blankly at his raised hand, before half heartedly smacking her palm against his; high fives weren't exactly something she was used to giving people. "T-thank you..." Anemone twisted her hands together sheepishly before grabbing another ball from the bucket beside her at Juno's command.xxxHer focus on Juno's arms faltered briefly upon being addressed as Galileo- it still felt alien to her. Not to mention slightly embarassing. Shaking her head in an attempt to focus, Anemone buried herself with thoughts of hitting her mark. A dozen balls later, five missed Juno's arms. The others though, all bounced off various parts of the makeshift X. Anemone glanced down at the bucket beside her, realizing it was empty. "There's no more balls left," Anemone called out to Juno, twisting her hair nervously. "What should I do now?"═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx

Juno was excited at Anemone's improvement. And when she'd finished throwing all the balls in the bucket, the only thing Juno could say was "Oh, that's all?" He could've sworn he'd thought there were more balls in there. Regardless, he came to the realization that not everyone loved training as much as he did and he figured it was probably best to give the girl a break.
"Well, I hope your arm isn't sore tomorrow." He laughed walking down to her and picking up stray balls here and there and tossing them without a problem back into the bucket. "Good thing it wasn't basketballs, eh?" He smiled at her now standing directly in front of her. "You did a really good job. I don't know what your schedule is like, but if you practice everyday like that you'll become a pro. After mastering stable targets, the next step of course is moving targets. But I'm sure that can wait."
He picked up the bucket. "Do you mind helping me collect the rest of the balls and putting them away? We'll skip out on the rest of class for today." He said with a childish grin which hinted that he had something in mind, obviously.

xxx ___═════════════_│║█│██║██║│ * ___════════════════════════════════════════════════xxxAnemone glanced down at the empty bucket, shrugging lightly. "I'm sure my arm will be fine." she noted, rubbing it absent mindedly. She may have been fragile and weak- but the one thing she did have was endurance. Anemone had dance to thank for that. As Juno mentioned basketballs, she had to agree that it probably was better that they stuck with the smaller handballs. At least she somewhat knew how to throw a small object- but a basketball? The thought made a smile flicker on the girl's face before she ducked down to pick up another stray ball. xxx"You did a really good job. I don't know what your schedule is like, but if you practice everyday like that you'll become a pro. After mastering stable targets, the next step of course is moving targets. But I'm sure that can wait." xxx"T-thank you!" Anemone's eyes stayed focused on the ball in her hands, too flustered to look at Juno. "I-I'll keep up with practice, I promise." And she would- the one thing Anemone prided herself on was her studious nature. xxx"Do you mind helping me collect the rest of the balls and putting them away? We'll skip out on the rest of class for today." xxxAnemone rolled the ball in her hands off into the bucket, glancing up at her teacher. "Y-yes, I don't mind." Something about his smile made her feel uneasy- but it was probably nothing. Shuffling around the gym, Anemone collected the rest of the balls scattered around the room. One by one, the balls trembled into the air to be plucked and put back into the bucket by Galileo, saving herself the head rush of bending over and straightening back up repeatedly. "N-now what?" She asked softly, not quite sure if she really wanted to know what was next in Juno's agenda. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx

Juno was glad to hear that she was going to practice. Though he still wondered as to how often she really would practice. Some kids were lazy, not that he was trying to imply that she was lazy cause she didn't look like it. Though she definitely looked more of the academic kind of kid.
Once all the balls were finally gathered, Juno strolled up to the gym closet and slid the bucket inside. Kicking the door closed while turning about to face his student.
"N-now what?"
Juno tapped a finger on his chin thoughtfully staring up at the ceiling, though not that anyone could tell since he had shades on. "I don't know about you, but I'm a little hungry. Want to grab some snackage?"
Either way, with or without her, Juno began walking in the direction of the cafeteria where he would snag some sort of healthy thing since that's all there was at the academy: healthy food. Not that he minded, it was better for training if you ate healthy anyway. He was used to it by now.
Even though he was hungry, he still had bounds and bounds of energy from doing nothing but really standing there. He was sure to go off and train once he grabbed some fruit. He was free most of the afternoon since most kids weren't taking his class. So. More time to train, and that didn't bother him whatsoever.

xxx ___═════════════_│║█│██║██║│ * ___════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx"I don't know about you, but I'm a little hungry. Want to grab some snackage?" xxxWhat was with people always wanting to eat here? Nevertheless, Anemone nodded in agreeance before scurrying behind Juno in an attempt to keep pace with him. The period wasn't over- she wasn't sure if she was allowed to leave her teacher yet, despite his laid back attitude. Either way she hadn't really figured out where the cafeteria was to begin with, so it wasn't like Anemone was opposed to taking a break for snacks. xxx"S-so," Anemone struggled to make conversation- the silence was even more awkward than her pathetic attempts at conversation. "Y-you're a teacher, so you're an actual super hero, right?" Anemone's eyes were focused on the ground before her. "What's that like?" ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx

Juno was totally fine with silence. He wasn't one much for talking unless there was a need for it or he had something to say. And though Anemone was struggling with it, he paid no mind to the awkward silence as they walked to the cafeteria which wasn't far off.
--so you're an actual super hero, right? What's that like?"
Juno's insides went slightly stiff at the question and mention of being a 'super hero' and what it was like. With his right hand, he rubbed his left shoulder. The reminder of his mistakes.
But he smiled at Galileo, putting his hands in his pockets and turning to the girl whose eyes were on the ground. "It's pretty exhilarating. Though probably not so super yet. I've still got a long way to go."
"Ah, here we are." It was around 3PM, so there were few people in the cafeteria at the time. Juno strolled along down the lunch line and snatched up a ripe looking peach and immediately bit into it. "Do you like the Academy so far, Galileo?" He asked cheerfully.

xxx ___═════════════_│║█│██║██║│ * ___════════════════════════════════════════════════xxxAnemone glanced up at Juno as he responded to her, quickly looking back down as their eyes met. Something seemed to be humbling Juno; or was the Academy just that strapped for teachers? Anemone doubted that they would employ sub par heros- but she really had no idea one way or another. xxx"Ah, here we are." xxxAnemone snapped to attention, looking around at the cafeteria. At least she knew where it was now! Trailing behind Juno as usual, Anemone selected a pale yellow pear and tucked it neatly in a napkin. xxx"D o you like the Academy so far, Galileo?" xxxJuno's question seemed to take the girl off guard. "O-oh, well, I don't know really..." Anemone trailed off, spinning the pear in her hands. "I-it's not that it isn't nice, it is, I guess I'm just not very good with new places." Her eyes remained focused on her pear as she maticulously rubbed every spot of it clean. "And I keep getting lost," she added with a small laugh. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx

Juno watched the girl and her pear. Perhaps a little too into cleaning it. Sure, Juno liked clean. But this was bordering on OCD. He took another bite from his peach, smiling.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Unless you don't want to." He smirked. "And getting lost is some good fun."
He leaned down to look at her more face to face. "You know, they wash the fruit before they put it out." He said with a smile and another bite from his peach.
Juno was definitely one to be interested in other people, though he felt it was probably inappropriate for a teacher to be asking a student about his or her past and other things of the like. It was best for him to not be too nosy.
"Anyway. I guess you're free to go." He said with a shrug. "Class dismissed." He said in mock-serious tone, figuring that she wasn't the type to skip out on class and this would probably put her a little more at ease. Hopefully. Juno finished up the last of his peach and tossed the pit into the trash not too far away. "I'll see you when I see you then Galileo." His dashing smile on his face while he saluted to her walking backwards towards the opposite exit they'd come in through.

xxx ___═════════════_│║█│██║██║│ * ___════════════════════════════════════════════════xxxAnemone weakly nodded in uderstanding at Juno's words, taking a small bite out of her pear. 'Unless she didn't want to'? Was it that obvious she was uncomfortable? Probably. She certainly didn't agree that getting lost was fun; but she kept silent. It took her a bit by surprise as Juno leaned down closer to her height- her body immediately froze up and she felt her face start to feel a little too warm. It didn't help that she hadn't seen his eyes all day thanks to his sunglasses, either. Something about not being able to see someone's whole face was offputting to the girl. xxx"You know, they wash the fruit before they put it out." xxx"O-oh, yes, s-sorry." Anemone stammered, suddenly feeling extremely self concious and scrutinized. She seemed to lighten up after hearing that class was dismissed, probably to Juno's relief. ""Yes, I'll s-see you around, Mister Sharp Shooter." Anemone stiffly waved at her new teacher. As her new mentor dissappeared behind the cafeteria door, Anemone couldn't shake the nagging feeling in the back of her mind that she was going to be seeing much more of this Sharp Shooter character. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════xxx
