As questions and very other actions taken in mind notes are been taken, something about the whole thing and spectrum of the group that bursted and got busted as well keeps plundering Rose’s mind as she might have the question how a student. Or rather say, how a dragon with such stats might survive under his own in the place he comes from. There was something it was not supposed to happen…she cannot but hold her head a while as she cannot on luck since that card showed a very low percentage in that quality.
“May I ask…” she started as look again the card on the desk “…but could the dragon has a protege that keep him from been damaged or be there?” The floating sentient flower may ask since it was a possibility there was someone else who might respond at their questions, intrigues and doubts about the whole place they are discussing.
”Don’t you think that protege might be involved in all this?” Frank, who might see many things in various spectrums, might ask like these protege would be so handsome in keep him alive. “Like some kind of chess board”
“Are you implying something?” Doofenshmirtz asked as he didn’t meant to interrupt but couldn’t but ask.
“No…I am ignorant if he is in neutral position, he is a legit protege or a mastermind in the whole thing we had seen. However, I had covered enough journalism in my past career I cannot but question if this one who take care of the student we have right now inside The academy, is legitimately protecting him or just a fifth much dangerous member of the group that busted in?” Frank sighed as he didn’t wanted to make suspicious targets just because fear momentum. As he said, he is ignorant of the companion Letty might be behind him back in that strange world. But Rose made the point in know if he or she (whatever the gender of the protege is, due ignorance) is willing to collaborate with the, at least.
“Do you know his/her name? At least?” Doofenshmirtz asked to Rose who shakes slow her blossom head.
“I am not sure. I didn’t met him in person, just heard it from Kronk” Rose apologized soft and trying to not be harsh. “Did we know this protege or possible friend of the dragon? Is he/she in town while we speaking?”
In some corner, near the apartments near the academy, Dearie was talking with some citizens about possible expansions in their house within three city. As he was planning to have a small conversation with the owner of the terrains and empty places where the local animals and feral creatures can live without be threatened. As start to see the blueprints with small garden gnomes over his shoulders…

Everyone brought up good questions and points. Sure, Letty would be safe within the school building, but what was stopping something in town on the off chance that group somehow got out of jail? The police could only do so much. Plus, the person Letty mentioned...it sounded like Dearie wouldn't be on the Swordsman's side, but Rose had every right to be concerned. They didn't know anything about this person, and needed to keep in mind any possibles for now.
"With protecting him outside the school, maybe a protective charm or a familiar of some type could help?" Cybersix suggested.
Sure, there was a good chance Letty would make fast friends here with some students. However, there was no way the teachers would put them in harm ways like that.
"A protective charm may be the best for now." Kuro commented. "From what I was told, Letty can be easily scared and nervous."
The idea of giving him a pet right off the bat...yeah, it may not be a good idea. Not because Kuro felt Letty would be a bad owner, far from it. But he knew the first few weeks could be stressful for both the owner and familiar, based on how they hit it off. There was also figuring out which specials of animal or magical creature would be a good fit, making sure Letty had the supplies needed to take care of the familiar...right now, the less stress they could put on him, the better.
"The person was called Dearie from what Akemi told me." Isabelle answered. "From what I can understand, there's a pretty good chance he is in town. However, we don't know what he looks like."
"...Does she know if Letty mentioned any powers Dearie has?" Ragna asked. "If he can't shape shift into an animal or Pokémon, it may be easy to find him. Almost everyone knows each other here."
If Dearie had shape shifting powers and used them to turn into an animal, Ragna couldn't blame him. To most people, a new place could be scary, big time when you didn't know if it was one of the safer places in the world, or one of the more dangerous ones. It was pretty common for his old teammates to use their shape shifting powers to go ahead in the dangerous locations or ones they were unsure of as a means to get more information.

Mirajane nodded in agreement. "A charm would be best for now. Likely a bracelet or necklace, just so he can have it on him at all times, and it wouldn't look out of place." She suggested. A fair amount of people, even here in Lunaville, where despite all the chaos, it was very much safe for pretty much anyone who came along, still wore protective charms now and then.
You couldn't take chances with magic, or even just some people in general, even though everyone pretty much could tell you each other's life story if you asked. It was outsiders and outside of Lunaville that tended to worry people, because they knew other people and places weren't so open or tolerant towards certain things like they were.
Not to mention, giving that Akemi had described Letty as both skittish and easy to frighten, giving him a pet he likely wouldn't want would be just adding to his stressful situation. Perhaps later down the line, if Letty himself felt up to it, he could get a pet, but for now...it just wasn't an option.
The shapeshifter nodded in response to Ragna's point. "Right, we all pretty much know each other well, and everyone tends to keep an eye out when things like this happen for anything suspicious." She added, mentally going over the people she was close with in town that she could call and see if they had seen anyone fitting this Dearie person had, if Akemi did know what he looked like.
Shiro frowned, "Thought, given all the commotion the town likely had with the call to the police, he might be lying low just to see how things play out, especially if he hears about what happened and recognizes the faces of the group."
Which was probably more likely then they actually thought it would be, considering it seems he was with Letty for some time.
Shiro knew if he and Keith had been in the same situation, he would evaluated what was happening, and depending on the risk, would have pulled Keith out of the school and town as quickly as he could.
Depending on the bond this Dearie had with Letty, he might be planning the same thing.

Elsa felt a bit more relieved hearing how everyone agreed on giving Letty a charm. It put her at ease feeling better knowing the student will have some sort of protection when outside the school in case that group was for some reason released from jail. She honestly couldn’t understand why anyone would let someone who attacked the school full of children out of jail. It made no sense, then again she never got arrested for accidentally freezing her hometown… so she can only hope this person will be sterner with the charges.
‘Maybe I should suggest a restraining order for us to put of the group. Just as extra protect.’ Elsa thought to herself. Nodding at her thought, and turns back hearing Kuro mentioning how Letty can easily be frightened and it just made her heart melt more for this poor kid. As she understood what it’s like to be a nervous kid when she was younger, she was something of a nervous chile herself growing up. A part of her wished she wished she could just go to the station a freeze those idiots that attacks the school. Though she knew better than that.
She and Ivy look back seeing the others are talking about someone named Dearie. Unfortunately, the two are so new to the town that they could tell who’s been in the town forever and who is just visiting. They both get pretty useless for searching the town for this person. If they needed to search for this person...
Ivy listens as she felt glad to see they were planning on making a charm for the student. She smiles a little at that thought. She even gets glad you hear that the town seems to keep an eye on itself when trouble seems to come.
“Well, that's good known. Maybe there's someone in town who we can just pay to send these morons a message to leave this and all students alone.” Ivy was half heartily joking, half-serious but her tone of voice was hard to tell if she was being serious or not.
Ivy was genuinely glad to know that a proper plan was going though. And that she and everyone was equally taking this whole situation seriously. The last thing she wants is someone to not take this situation at all serious. It would be extremely frustrating for her if there was that kind of teacher here. She taking a calming breath a relaxes as they continue to form this plan.
"So should we also plan a night patrol incase they decide to come and attack the school again?" Elsa brought up as she wanted to try and cover all their bases, as they never know what could happen after hours. She had a feeling there were some chances there might be activity happening at night.

Frank was not sure if the has the option to abandon his spot in the academy to search or find some about this Dearie one who was keeping an eye of Letty before be within Lunaville, however, the priority in protect the school was still the main A option. Nevertheless, his eager idea to find the person still present yet there was a little flaw about find someone with that name... It could be anything or anybody. From a feral monster, to a sentient creature to a human or another magical race that happens to be around the corner. It was going o be challenging trying to find this strange one with that peculiar name. He looked on Yuu who was keeping an eye of the group inside. Like he might has a word to say about his expertise or anything that might help with the situation they were discussing so far.
"Perhaps we can use something less dangerous but too keep the message clear to those who trespass with evil or bad intentions inside the grounds" Yuu made his point "It is obvious we have some young students around who might activate or trigger them by accident or purposefully" Knowing there are some students, like Mirajane's son, who are very stubborn or too naive, or too stupid, to avoid dangers around. "However, Kuro cannot handle the night patrol?"
"Perhaps we need some security besides Kuro to deal with the possible intruders and their schemes to get inside" Frank said, clearing his ideas to search for the mysterious protege who might help them understand the world Letty came from "However, there are some teachers and staff members who might not be qualified to keep an eye all the night and protect the whole school perimeter"
"How about if I build something to keep away the intruders?" Doofenshmirtz hark with a smile "I gonna call it the Intrudernator"
"Better not" Yuu sweatdropped as that idea might not be the thing Isabelle was asking for.

Isabelle knew Shiro and Ragna were right. Based on how Dearie was like, it could be tricky to locate him. The mention of night patrol increase was brought up, no surprise there. Kuro may have the title of the school's guardian, but it wasn't like he could be everywhere at once. This may be one time Kuro needed help on guarding the school, at least until they knew if anyone else was coming.
Isabelle sweat dropped when Doofenshmirtz mentioned the 'Intrudernator'. She knew he meant well, he really did, but his machines...well, they seem to always have a habit of exploring. Rather it was because of those buttons he put on them or just bad luck. Which normally meant a visit from Perry.
"Eh, I don't think the 'Intrudernator' would work this time." Isabelle spoke in a calm tone. She took a small breath. "However...having people help Kuro out may be a good idea."
"...I agree." Kuro nodded.
Ragna raised an eyebrow.
"You're agreeing to this? Did you get drunk again?"
It was hard to tell if Ragna was trying to cheer up the cat demon with small teasing for some, but Kuro meant Ragna didn't mean any harm by the comment. Kuro merely shook his head at the drunk question.
"I can't be everywhere at once. Frank does have a point with the other teachers, though: Not everyone here has combine skills, or may not be able to handle the long hours on top of their normal duties." Kuro said. "If you guys become too tired from patrol, it could put yourselves in danger. Fran's Shadows were a great help back there, but..."
He didn't like the idea of bringing a student into this. It felt far too risky. Granted, the shadows could act on their own from what Kuro could tell, but what if it led to a target being printed on Fran's back? The poor girl had already dealt with more than anyone should have to deal with before she came here.
"Maybe we can see if Tadashi and Syndrome could build something?" Cybersix asked. "Perhaps robots designed to look like cute animals or Pokémon, so students wouldn't worry about them, but are designed to have weapons within their bodies in case of an attack...?" She looked at Rose and Ivy. "Or would you two be able to have any plants help us out?"
Cybersix was still learning her newer co workers powers and how they worked. She knew some details like how Ragna couldn't control shadows like Fran, and how Alastor's and Kuro's powers were different despite both were demons. However, when it came to Rose's and Ivy's powers...she wasn't sure how familiar or difference they were.

Mirajane sweatdropped upon hearing Doofenshmirtz mention using one an invention of his. Sweet Hades, she knew the man meant well and did his best to help out...but those machines of his were just disaster magnets. They always ended up exploding.
But, she had to agree on Kuro's points. As much as she would love to help with the night patrols, it wouldn't do her for to be sleep-deprived, especially considering how she had to handle several teenager's who could transform into either small, adorable creatures or man-eating beasts...which reminded her, she had to set up a schedule with Atsushi again for this year, just so they could keep working on his transformations.
But Cybersix raised a few good points. If either pair could make something that could patrol alongside Kuro, that would be wonderful, but in the off chance they couldn't...
"If neither of those ideas work, we could always hire the security guards from 'Like A Dragon." The shapeshifter suggested. All the workers at the security business took their job seriously, and took any threat towards the town or school personally.
She knew that the boss, Kiryu, was a honorable man who was a father himself, so he would immediately understand her worries and concerns if she had to explain the situation. Not to mention, he would be furious as well.
Shiro nodded in agreement. "Mirajane's plan doesn't sound too bad, if either the robots or plants don't work out. Or, even if they do work, some extra security couldn't hurt. Considering just how many students there, and how many of them have families high up in society..."
Especially considering there were definitely one or two royals at the academy currently. Shiro didn't want to find out what would happen if their families caught wind of this incident.

Ivy listens and sees that making the staff do a night patrol wouldn’t be the best option. Many of them do have early classes and it would be risking a potentially tired teacher into fighting a most likely well-rested intruder. It would mainly end badly for the staff.
She doesn’t know much about Doofenshmirtz but sees how some of the staff were reacting negatively to the idea of him making something. That was probably also a bad idea too. ‘Dang this is getting harder than I thought to figure out how to protect the school without harming the students,’ There she felt like she couldn’t do anything but think of plants that would be useful in defending the school.
Ivy then felt her eyes widen in excitement a bit when Cybersix asked her if she or Rose know of any plants. And she nods wanting to keep her cool on the list of plants she knows that could be great in defending the school so long as the students don’t go near them.
“Yeah. I can get a list of Plants that would be great in protecting the school.” Ivy starts telling them but pauses seeing that the list she was already compiling in her head might not be the safest around students. “But there’s also a chance that they could be harmful towards students. But I can make sure that won’t happen by planting them in specific areas.”
Ivy felt she was getting better at talking to people as long as it was on a subject she was extremely interested in. She normally isn’t the best with talking to people but seeing the school she works for is being attacked and a student was the target piqued her interest. So yeah she already ready to plant slightly dangerous plants to attack intruders.
Elsa watches and listens looks to Mirajane as hiring security might be the safest option for everyone. Especially hearing the list Ivy has might be slightly dangerous towards the students. “I also agree with Mirajane. Hiring security would be the safest when looking at the full scale of it.”
She now generally couldn’t see the pros in staff doing night patrol when also having to teach and grade assignments. Although she doesn’t know who the Like a dragon security team is. She can trust that if her fellow staff member thinks there a good group she will trust her. She wonders though she knows now that this school has a tendency for troublemakers like any school she he does wonder if the security would accidentally attack any student sneaking in after hours.
"Though... We should make sure that any student caught sneaking out or in isn't well.. Accidentally harmed if caught by the security team." Elsa bringing up that idea as the last thing she wants is for some random student to get caught in the cross fires of all this.

Frank was okay with the idea in contract security from ‘Like a Dragon’ offices as he expected they might do something at respect for future problems that might happen around the academy as stop possible threats that might find their way in. The swordsman’s group was stupid enough to be inside just to pick a fight with a transferred student that arrived yesterday morning. Seems it will be not the end of their crusade before or they end in return fruitless about their mission or defeat the dragon that were hunting since ever….yet, seems they will need some information about how they might be stopped for good measures. Even if it’s a small thing to do.
”I can do something with the plants with Ivy” Rose mentioned as she summons a small daisy that coils around her arm like a snake might do. “Nevertheless, these can be triggered by anyone, and I second the worries of Elsa. The students, mostly those who prefer to do trouble than coherence movements might do that…” looking slight to Mirajane. Knowing she has trouble with Natsu, even if he is her children. It’s obvious that little boy shall end in terrible trouble if the alarm plants do their movement.
”We should start thinking in ways to control those troublemakers before they end summoning something out of their reach. Or be away in some place that wasn’t good to be explored…sure they learn by mistakes, but giving the circumstances they were, it is hard to say they really learn a thing” Yuu sighed as he scratches back his ears.
“And still looking for that fellow friend Letty has. It would be a miracle he appears on sudden…” Frank laughed by the possibility that man would just make his way to the academy for a talk.
At the gates, a young silver haired elf wearing clothes as a kind of sage with a small bird were looking around… ”Seems here is here your father is studying… I wonder if they can let us pass to talk about their stuff. Just want to make sure he was okay after by absence here” he stayed outside the gates as petting the little bird who chirps calmly.

Right: There was making sure the students couldn't get hurt in the crossfire. The list of plants helped: They could always be placed in areas students should know better than to go too.
"If you two know any plants that can keep a person trapped without doing harm, that could work." Isabelle spoke. "We could keep them in the locations students aren't allowed in and staff members rarely visit. Maybe see if there's a charm we can use to let the plants know we're friends? While, with the 'Like a Dragon' group, we can give them names and photos of the students. However, if it's too dark, it may be hard for them to tell..."
"Maybe check with James to see if any magical creatures were suddenly placed in the shelter?" Ragna asked. He then shook his head, quietly cursing himself for the idea. "Wait, never mind. That'll be too dangerous for the animal." It wasn't like the animals he knew from his days of an adventurer. Most of the animals in the shelter wouldn't be trained to know for to fight like them or Kuro. "Or see if those Pokémon Akemi have could help?"
"That still runs into the 'too dark to tell' problem." Isabelle pointed out in concern with a small sigh. She hated to admit it, but there may not be a 100% perfect plan. Sure, with returning students, the Pokémon would know their scent, but that wouldn't be the case with newer ones. "We may need to just hope for the best with the 'Like a Dragon' members and Akemi's Pokémon. I hope the students won't try to sneak out, but-"
Suddenly, Kuro's ears perked up. He turned and looked towards the window, something Isabelle quickly noticed.
"Kuro?" Isabelle asked in concern.
"Someone's at the gate." Kuro spoke, not keeping his eyes out the window.
Isabelle froze. So soon?! From the demon cat's reaction, it was clear it wasn't someone they knew. Part of her hoped it was Letty's friend, but would luck really be on their side for that?

Mirajane shifted her weight, thinking all the options over. There honestly wasn't any perfect or clear-cut solution to this...and she hated it. It reminded Mirajane of the paranoia she had while she was traveling with her siblings, terrified the people from their hometown would hunt them down because of her powers and quickly rushing poor Lisanna and Elfman through different towns and cities, just so she could keep them safe.
They never stayed in one place for too long, and were always on the road, stopping only in cheap motels if they needed to.
Meeting Yamraiha was a blessing she was truly grateful for, considering just how much it changed their lives...but Mirajane knew she still had some of that paranoia as a trauma response. Curses, she was really hoping to avoid having to go see Takuto because of all this, but it looks like the shapeshifter didn't have a choice.
Shiro sighed, thinking along the same lines as Mirajane. It wasn't easy, and none of the options were perfect, but they had to work with what they had. Most of the students would stay on school grounds, but he knows there's a few who won't listen, and he hopes and prays that Keith wasn't one of them, even though he knows better.
If Keith could fight off all the threats to his and Shiro's safety, he would. ...Course, that only added to Shiro's stress levels, so he really hoped Keith wouldn't try. Things were going to be hard enough as it is with this current mess.
The two froze upon hearing there was a guest, glancing at each other in shock. Kuro clearly didn't know them, so it wasn't anyone from town or Akemi and John returning. Though...could this be Letty's friend that was mentioned? Was it really all that simple, or was this another member of the group that attacked, taking the opportunity to try again?
"Should we have someone go and see who it is?" Shiro asked, starting to stepping up away from the wall. He wasn't sure if Akemi and John would be able to get back in time for them to be able to escort this new 'guest', and obviously, no one wanted them to wander around if they had bad intentions.

Ivy nods knowing she’ll have to talk to rose later to make a list of plants knowing she can’t know all plants in the world. Oh, she can already imagine the plants being so helpful it made her excited.
Then she sees they still had an issue and she thought for a moment. She starts to that what would be the best solution to the whole too dark thing. She looks over to the scientist sub teacher and a thought clicked in her mind to install motion sensor lights in the school hallways and outside on campus street lamps. That way if a student sneaks out or an intruder sneaks in. The ‘Like a Dragon’ group would be able to follow the light sources and see better.
She was about to bring up the thought when she pauses seeing how Kuro seems very tense all of a sudden. Ivy felt her joy coming up with plants vanish hearing Kuro utter those words.
‘What?! No, no, no, this can't be. The police wouldn't let those idiots go already. Along with them trying to attack again in broad daylight... Right?’ Ivy thought to herself. Trying to think of reasons for some unknown person for being outside the school. Maybe it was the police or a concerns parent, or hell a kid from the elementary school near by. Ivy trying to think of any other reason for there to be someone at the school.
“Um... Do we not have camera on the front gate to see?” Ivy asked as she didn't want to risk someone potential getting hurt if whoever was outside wasn't a friendly guest.
Elsa felt like there wasn't much they could do on the too dark to see situation unless the ‘Like a Dragon’ group had flashlights on them. She then looks over to Ragna suggesting the shelter owner if they knew anything on what they could do. That honest didn't seem like a great idea. Then her thoughts her pulled out felt her finger tips frost over. Hearing Kuro state there was someone outside the school campus gate’s. It made her nervous and she was only hoping her nerves weren't dropping the room’s temperature.
Elsa just couldn't believe this was happening, she really hoped this was someone from either the police station or the friend they mention that the targeted student has. If it was someone they could trust it didn't frighten her. She then hears Shiro asked who should go see and over heard Ivy suggest if there are camera’s at the entrance.
“Yeah are there? It be less risky to send someone if it isn't someone well... Trustworthy.” Elsa added to Ivy’s question about the safety of her fellow staff members. Even though she has a fair idea to there all skilled in there on ways. She just couldn't bring herself to take that chance, if the swordsman group planned to attack and harm the student again. Who's to stop them from harming the faculty that a protecting said student?
‘Its probably nothing but it's honestly for the best if we can try and not send anyone down risking there safety if we can find out from a safer distance.’ Elsa thought to herself as she always puts others before herself as she just wants to make sure they're safe. But if there isn't a way to check from the safety I the office then she will gladly go down. As she could quickly freeze the person’s feet to the ground if they choose to be a threat to her.

Frank was thinking in a way to give something he with Yuu and Rivet can give that might help around the problem that they were presenting in those moments. Without doing they might need some of the stuff ‘Like a Dragon’ had to offer and even more. Even if there is a stuff to give some support. Thinking there are stuff to offer that might work as well.
Yet the notice of someone outside the gates took many by surprise, it was obvious there is someone else that is trying to get inside, if the foursome that entered weren’t enough someone else had already appeared to do it.
”Damn, should we use someone guard for this?” Frank tried to not do a scandal, that is not his style. He remained calmed even if the notice of someone around was not the perfect time…neither the perfect moment to do a joke.
”I can see who might be” Yuu said as he was taking the initiative to make his way towards the door. Yet stopped by Frank. “But sir, if we don’t do something…”
”In grave circumstances I would le you go, however, we are taking this with responsibility…we don’t want to alter all the staff in this building…and by knowing one had done damage to two members of our staff…” he said.
“Then, are we going to stay here cross handed by do nothing?” Doofenshmirtz asked a bit nervous as the other member or new one might be waiting a signal or something.
Outside the gates still…
”Seems there is no one home. I wonder if they are taking some vacations. If that’s so, It was going to be very irresponsible from the ones in charge for those students or staff members who were left behind…however, by looking the structure it might need some help from all the corners…” Dearie quoted as he picked some blueprints from his bag nearby to him, giving him a similar building schematics “…seems the place is kinda perfect for Letty… it has enough space, perhaps no traps around to give at the host protection…sure Letty hadn’t screamed for help or anything like it, so he might be in good hands or he found a place that might be perfect for him…but it might need some help for reparations…or perhaps this academy is a pocket dimensional structure…”
”Chirp Chirp” Pip jumped off the bag of ice to land next the gate and peck it.
”I wonder if they use granite for the structure. It’s heavy but might keep the structure all the time up, did they used sturdy beams of elven wood or they had done it with the steel bars I had been hearing all the time? Intriguing. And this thing called plasticity…” and he stayed off the gates with a workbench where he put the blueprints. As drink some coffee.
