Chloe tried to concentrate on Yachiyo's words as the worst of the effects began to fade slightly. At the very least she was able to stand straight again. What the teacher was telling them sounded like some plot right out of a contrived movie. Another world, invading their own? A chosen few who could stop them? She didn't know what bad script this woman was reading from, but she had the wrong actor. It was the next part that gave the German pause.

The reason why they were brought here. A slow anger began to build up in the tall girl's stomach. The reason they were here... she knew there was a catch. It wasn't because she excelled at something for the first time in her life. It wasn't because anyone wanted her around. It wasn't even because she had a choice. She was here to be used, nothing more. The glance that Yachiyo gave her, while only discernible as reverse-positive, only stood to prove her point.

The usually calm German's jaw clenched just as tightly as her fists, her cool blue gaze flashing with anger before she tried to reel herself back in. Calm down. Don't lose your temper. Don't give them a reason to hate you more than they already do, she told herself. One of her fists clenched and unclenched, trying to distract herself from the rising fury in her chest.
