"Gah! I'll be *pant* late on the *pant* first day! I hate being so *pant* stereotypical!"Sprinting like he's being chased by the Cerberus, Aegis cursed his endeavour. He really should have accepted the alarm clock he was offered the previous day. Atleast he remembered to remove his gauntlet before running off towards the school building, he was already standing out enough, considering that he was clad in blue and had cyan hair and eyes, wearing armour would just make him too strange a student.
Running with all his might, the knight was like a blue lightning, flying through the streets, though to him it seemed as if he was crawling. Truth be told, he was really anxious. He generally was really bad at dealing with places full of people, especially if they were all strangers, so his running just seemed like it wasn't nearly fast enough and that he would be late if he didn't put all his effort into it. The only real problem was that he was already running with the speed close to that of an olympic sprinter, any faster than that would probably result in a heart attack.
"'Scuse me!" - was all he managed to say while making a quick sidestep, barely avoiding a collision with an elderly woman as she was slowly walking. That was the fourth time he miraculously avoided running into someone, he knew that he had to be more careful if he wanted to avoid having casulaties but he was having a hard time focusing on the road infront of him, his mind busy with the thought of him having to avoid being late at all costs.
Taking the last turn left, Aegis could see the school at the end of the road. He was going to use the rear gate, since it was closer to him than the main one. Rushing through it, he kept his zealous charge up, running next to one of the building's walls. As he ran alongside it, he couldn't help but notice the many columbs that were close to it. If he wasn't in such a hurry he would have also noticed, that what he was running next to were only the first few metres of the wall. The rest of it was actually outdented, the concrete columbs acting as support for it, resulting in a narrow tunnel-like area right next to the base of the walls.
The knight was approaching it's other end. Once he got there he just had to take a right turn and continue to follow the wall until he reached the entrance. Noticing that there were still students around, a spark of hope lit in the knight's eyes. He might still not be late!
But Aegis' mind was quickly returned to the reality when he saw that as soon as he made the sharp right turn the figures of three students were right infront of him. Acting purely on instinct, he made a semi-turn to his right while leaning backwards, thus managing to change the direction of his movement and shift it to the left, narrowly avoiding to run into the student. His luck ran out, however, since as a result of the sudden change of his trajectory, he ran into a concrete support columb, instantly stopping in his tracks. Staggering a couple of steps back from the powerful collision he had experienced, Aegis fell to the ground in a semiconscious state, grunting in the process.
