Aware of Susugihara's caution, Yua suddenly felt more nervous, moving to step behind him fully but without blocking her view of the girl. Her hardened expression seemed to soften at the mention of them all being students--folding her arms, she sighed, gently shaking her head.
"Sorry," she murmured. "I haven't found anything yet. The cameras are bothersome, though."
Cameras... Yua's gaze drifted to a camera mounted on a nearby wall. There'd been one in the recreation room and the hallway outside there, as well, but Yua had just brushed it off as some kind of security measure. Then again, what were the chances someone was actually watching them this very moment?
She shuddered, not liking the odds. Hopefully whoever manned the cameras was a friendly person and was on their way over to clear up the entire situation. In the meantime, Yua figured it wouldn't hurt to ask more about this newcomer, seeing as she didn't seem very intent on explaining things about herself. "Are you, um...are you also a student?"
The girl seemed oddly hesitant to respond. "Shimizu Hekima, Ultimate Acrobat. You're...?"
"Ikeda Yua, but you can call me Yua," Yua responded. "Ultimate Tutor."
Shimizu nodded, then looked at the others, reciting their names aloud. "Nagisa, Susugihara, Yua..." Her head tilted slightly when her gaze fell upon Tomomi; she apparently decided to leave the matter for the moment. She ran a gloved hand over her arm, looking back to Nagisa instead. She offered a small smile. "Thank you. They aren't the most ideal for the situation, but they're what I was wearing before this happened, so...I suppose I'm stuck with them now."
Yua noticed Shimizu's eyes flickered back to the camera, briefly.

Minato smiled at Futami, her exuberance more than welcome. "Yamada Minato, Ultimate Charity Fundraiser. Nice to meet you, Futami. As for the rest of us..."
He glanced back at Hayashi and Saito, the first of which seemed shy and the second of which probably expected Minato to do all of the talking for him. Resolving to introduce them himself, he first gestured to Saito, "this is Saito Takuya--did I get that right?--the Ultimate Masseur, I believe. And over here is..."
"Hayashi Sachiko," Hayashi filled in for him, smiling. "Ultimate, um, Lucky Student. I guess this place is pretty huge, huh?"
Minato nodded. "Yeah. Any buildings catch your eye, Futami? We haven't seen anyone else around except each other and now you, and...we're actually still wondering where we all are. If we're not too slow for you, would you like to tag along and check the buildings with us?"
"I'd offer to try and keep up with you, but you'd probably just outrun me," Hayashi chuckled.
Minato was inclined to agree. He'd never been much of a runner, much less into sports at all. Well--runner in terms of running events, he supposed he was good at, but anything athletic wasn't really his strong suit. He could kick a ball, but that was about it.
