I might need to take a day off to decompress and go scream into the void.

I just got attacked and either I was going to be kidnapped or killed or... let's not discuss the third option.

But I got accosted by two masked men, one of which sounded a lot like one of the guys on the truck witht the megaphone tthat regularrrly has been harassing thhe school lately.

It turns out even rudimennntary Aikiido and lunchtime boxinnnng I've been doingggg since II met Noriko has been a huge help, and they ran away the moment flipped annd tosssed one of them.

Sorry for my spelling I'm trying to not have a nervous breakdown.

Sorry to hear that. I'm Garrett Logan, one of the newer professors at the academy. I offer self-defense classes if that's something you would be interested in. I've been worrying about some of the girls from the academy getting attacked so I started offering them.

[danse_etoile]

I'm already taking Aikido classes and self practicing boxing.

Which academy, though.

Duel Academy Elementary & Middle School in Domino
Duel Academy Main Branch on Duel Academy Island
Duel College in Domino

[daschillyone]

Sorry, used to just dealing with students. Main campus on the island.

[danse_etoile]

I live and teach in Domino, so unless you can teach on video, it's not the best situation, despite the kind offer.

[daschillyone]

I can make the commute, if you want the help. I've got some... magical assistance.

[danse_etoile]

If it's not a huge issue, sure.

But don't drive yourself nuts on the issue, Professor.

[daschillyone]

What'll drive me nuts is assholes who are attacking people. Having more hands who can stand up to them is good in my book.

[danse_etoile]

Yes.

It was one thing when they're just being a nuisance with megaphones and plackards.

[i_like_red]

What the---!

Oh geez. Okay.
Where are you? I'll finish up as soon as I can and I'll come and meet up with you.

[danse_etoile]

The Koban (Police Box) that I usually pass between Sakana and Duel Academy.

I reported the attack to the Sector Security officer there, and they said they'd look into it, but without like evidence, it might be hard to follow up on.

But I'm at the Koban. I have a coffee and a blanket over my legs and they said I can wait there...

[i_like_red]

Alright. I know which Koban you mean.

Just wait there and I'll be there on my D-Wheel soon.

[danse_etoile]

Alright. I'll be waiting.

[sketchthepast]

You were attacked!?

Are you okay?
Please, take off as much time as you need to recover.

[danse_etoile]

I'll need a day or two but I don't want a huge break, ma'am.

[sketchthepast]

Alright. It's no problem.
I'll make sure to find cover for classes and such.

Just concentrate on yourself for a few days.

[danse_etoile]

I will, ma'am. Thank you.

[becomeanwarrior]

Dammit. I knew those assholes weren't going to de-escalate.

Thanks for reporting it to Sector Security, Mrs. Yuuki. I know evidence is slim but I'm going to see what we can do on our end to crack down on this. I've already had thoughts in mind that I need to pass onto Hayate to make sure we keep people safe.

If there's anything you remember once you've had time to sit and call down that could be a useful lead, don't hesitate to call up Sector Security, or even my office directly. I take a pretty direct hand in things like this, and I don't want people harmed when I can do something about it.

[danse_etoile]

...

I've had a few moments.

One of them had a Rolex that my family uses. Not that I'm saying my family was involved, I'm saying he was likely in my family's financial bracket.

And he was wearing a brand of suit my father's long time friend and business partner wears. Again, not implying they're involved, financial bracket.

I'd say they were in their 30s or 40s based on what I could see of skin and builds.

[becomeanwarrior]

So high income bracket, 30s to 40s, expensive watch and suit.

This is extremely helpful, thank you. I'll pass it along to the investigation team and see if we can draw any conclusions between that and the protest footage from in front of the SAI building.

Did they say anything when attacking you that struck you as odd? Anything at all. If we can't draw a connection from physical features, we might be able to draw a connection from ideologies.

[danse_etoile]

... The main thing that stands out to me is

"Monster-Fucking Whore".

[becomeanwarrior]

Charming.

At least that gives them a solid connection to the hate groups accosting SAI. Though...

...Hrm.

Obviously I know Juudai's deal, but how public has your husband been with certain knowledge? I was under the impression certain parts of it were being kept a bit... under wraps, for obvious reasons.

[danse_etoile]

I think this is just

"Judai runs SAI, Judai helps monsters, I'm married to Judai".

It's the same shallow logic for the Imperial Family being Duel Monsters or whatever.

[becomeanwarrior]

Bah. You're probably right.

I'm jumping at shadows for a lead, is all, I want this handled just as much as anyone else does.

[thefrozenstorm]

T-- that's awful! Why would someone attempt to do anything like that...!?

I'm not going to force you to say anything, but if you have a moment, can you tell me where exactly this happened?

[danse_etoile]

Right Wingers.

My husband is the head of an NGO.

Ugh.

Like 2-3 blocks away from the school, on the path with the nice trees you'd take on the way to and from Sakana.

You've been there the one time we took a walk together.

[thefrozenstorm]

... I'm going to keep an eye out around there.

It sounds like you spooked them by retaliating, but I don't want to take chances of them getting any ideas with others walking down that area.

[danse_etoile]

... Especially for any students who are extremely presenting, of which I can think of one especially.

... I'm also pretty sure one of my attackers is a rich 'failson' or 'nepobaby', whichever term you prefer.

[thefrozenstorm]

Wonderful.

I'm going to go down that way for a while, after work. I know some students do use that route, and if they start endangering any of them, I want to be there to respond to the problem immediately.

[danse_etoile]

Once I'm done taking a few mental health days, would you be opposed if I joined you?

[thefrozenstorm]

I'm not opposed, just... make absolutely sure you want to do that.

[danse_etoile]

I'm generally unsure what I want, but I feel like I should do something about this.

I feel like I'm on a cross roads and unsure what to do, to be honest.

I'm mostly mad about this attack more than traumatized?

[thefrozenstorm]

Better to be angry, in my book, anyway.

But yes, you're more than welcome to come with me.

[danse_etoile]

It'd also do a wonder on my nerves.

They'll likely avoid doing anything stupid if there's two of us.

... I hope.
