Karrin had been dragged into enough of the fights in and off campus to know that peaceful relations wasn't going to be an option any time soon. She tried not to let it occupy her thoughts too much. After all, weren't the teachers supposed to handle this kind of thing? While she tried to tell herself that it was hard to do since, as previously mentioned, she'd already dragged herself into several fights on and off campus against those who would threaten the students of the school.

She knew one thing, she wasn't going to stand for it. This place was supposed to be a safe haven and while 9 times out of 10 it was, that supposedly "one time" out of 10 was occurring with more and more frequency. She didn't like it.

Karrin looked up from the book she'd been reading at the guy who had just spoke to her, "What's up?"

Where others relied on combative powers, Karrin relied more on skill. Ulquiorra could respect that, and he felt she'd be a good addition to the club if she elected to join.

"I'm starting a new club called Tactical Combat club," he began, hands in his pockets. "It's open to students with either combative powers and/or combat training, and its purpose is to prepare the members for unorthodox scenarios and to encourage the use of tactics."

Karrin knew she wasn't a threat power wise. Her powers were pretty passive, considering all she could do was sense danger and has a minor self-healing ability. However, that was probably why she worked so hard to stay fit in terms of martial arts and her constant work with fire arms.

It didn't surprise her that a club like that was being formed. Karrin looked pensive for a moment. "How official is this club going to be? I can't see it being supported very well by the staff." She kept her face neutral, it was likely she would agree, but she wanted to know upfront how "underground" this club was going to be before getting involved.

"Ms. Tsunade signed staff consent for the club before, and Ms. Lisa Lisa, the Combat instructor had agreed to help with the club a little. It's not going to be advertised through any other means than student to student word of mouth, but in the event that the club is discovered, there has been a small amount of staff support for it. I'll be asking Ms. Lisa Lisa to sign on as the staff sponsor when I get the chance."

Considering that Tsunade had taken her mentor group hunting for bears and gotten away with it on numerous occasions, he felt that as long as there was at least a small amount of staff support, and it was clear that they weren't training to be vigilantes, it should be reasonably possible to maintain the club.

"If you know anyone who might be well suited to the club and who'd know well enough to not talk about it openly, you're welcome to extend an invitation."

Karrin nodded, she knew some of the staff would probably be behind it, still she imagined it was a small number at best. When he mentioned she could invite people, Karrin immediately thought of Xion. The girl definitely had combat skill and would probably be good for the club. Plus, she was a quiet one so Karrin couldn't imagine her talking.

"All right. I think I am interested in this club. When are we going to be meeting?"

"The first meeting will be after classes next Thursday," replied Ulquiorra. "I was going to start with a paintball game just to test people's sense of tactical strategy without risk of anyone getting more than a few small bruises. I know someone who's running an indoor paintball place called Defcon Paintball in town."

"Guns. I'm good with those." Karrin nodded, she thought it was a good idea as a first meeting. She figured more of the club would be combat power oriented so she hoped her own skill and emphasis on the strategy part would come in handy. Needless to say, Karrin wasn't going to back down from a challenge just because she didn't have combat related powers.
