Description
The morning was misty as the promise of a storm looked to be rolling in. The air was warm and a soft breeze swayed along the grass and tree leaves. The three boys ended up meeting in the kitchen all ready and dressed for class. Shizui was beaming, raring and ready to go while dusty and dark had gloomy shadows under their eyes mumbling to themselves as they got breakfast. Olivia pulled on Shizui’s uniform to get his attention. “Oh good morning Olivia.” Shizui smiled down to see her holding up a plate with crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and two slices of toast with a shy smile. “I saved you a plate.” Shizui’s mouth waters as he takes them plate in a hurry. “Thank you so much!” His eyes full of joy he sits down at the table stuffing his face. Oliva lets out a giggle as she turns to the other two boys. “There is a plate for you guys as well I will go grab it.” She walks back into the kitchen in a slight hurry. “What happened to your face..” Dark said glaring at Dusty from across the tale. Dusty looks at him confused but then felt his cheek. “Nothing I just slept wrong..” He said his voice tried and quite due to being hoarse from the open window all night. Dark studied him before continuing. “How can you get bruises on your cheek from sleeping wrong? What happened exactly last night. There's no way you would get that type of bruising from just sleeping wrong. Honestly you would not get that shape and color either from even falling out of bed unless you hit a table face first. Quite the excuses and tell fess up alr-” “Yap yap yap! Damn, what are you a talk show host with all these damn questions? why are you so worried it's none of your damn business.” Dusty said losing his patients. Dark gritted his teeth. “Because I have a feeling this won’t only affect you but others, cause that's the kinda person you are.” Shizui eats quietly trying not act like he is not there but answering in the argument in his head. “So I won’t ask again.” Darks voice grows low and hostile. “What. happened. Last. Night.” Dusty rolled his eyes irritatedly pushing himself out of the chair to a stand. “If you really need to know, Someone came into my room last night. They were standing over my while I slept so i had pinned them down to try and ask who and why there were there for.” Dusty said glaring at dark who was slightly lost for words at first. “Day one and you are already in a bad position.” He said trying to remain calm and looking for the right words. “Did you get any information as to who it was and why?” but dusty just shook his head no. Taking a deep breath dark sighs. “ Well try not to do anything that would…. I don’t know… Make it worse? Can you handle that?” Dusty just brushed it off heading out of the room. “Maybe people should just let me sleep.” Dark sighs again annoyed. “Are you even gonna pretend you heard what I said. You know what never mind let's see how this goes for you dusty.” Dark said crossing his arms. “You are to stupid to actually listen to good advice.” Dusty stopped short of the door glaring at the wall thinking of something to say. “Are you trying to pick a fight?” He said his voice low, but dark brushed it off. “If that’s what it takes for you to take things serious then I guess so.” Dark challenged back. There was a long silence before dusty’s attitude changed. He looked back at dark and grinned. “Well plot twist this mark on my cheek was from a pissed off female who didn’t like showing her panties.” He laughed before walking out of the taking back silent room of open mouths. Shizui looks at dark who still stood stunned. “ I guess that would explain his cheek..” Shizui said taking the last bite of his toast. Olivia had walked in halfway into the conversation standing quietly by the door with the two plates. After coming back to reality she walked to the table like she didn’t hear a thing setting the plate for dark down. “There you go.” She said awkwardly before almost running out with the other plate of food that was for dusty. Dark slowly sat down in his chair, his face in deep thoughts as he takes slow and steady bites of his food. After a few minutes of silence dark slammed his hands on the table slightly startling Shiuzi. “That great thinking he is so much better than everyone else. Well.. We will see about that.” He storms out of the room leaving the slight taken back Shizui. “What a morning…” He says picking up his plate to take the the kitchen where Olivia and him washed the dishes chatting about how school is. After the school bell chimed all three boys found themselves in. With dusty closest to the window and dark trapping Shizui between Dark’s cross glare. The final bells rings as Mr. Gihei walks into the class clearing his throat. Students sit and face him as he writes on the board using his sand to slide the chalk across as he thought the words in his head. “We will be voting for a class rep today are there any nominations I would need to consider?” The room of students chatter slightly around each other before two twin rabbit magi’s stand up. “I nominate Yin.” “And I nominate Yang as co-reps.” The sisters slightly smile talking in tune with each other. Mr. Gihei nods slightly acknowledging there nomination. “Any others?” The room was silent before a tall monkey magi with a air emblem. “I nominate Temptress.” He said in a bold voice but there was a slight hesitation/nervousness behind it. Students look back and forth between each other whispering softly. “Really..” “Wow..He has guts to call her out like that..” “I wonder if he was wanting to die..” The whispers make him nervous as the monkey sits down quickly. Mr. Gihei clears his throat before nodding a tad nervous himself. Alright well then we have three let's see here..” He looks down at a paper he is holding. “Based on the magi test scores I will be nominating the best in the class..and that is.. Hm.. Dark Isobe. Now!” He says moving things along before there was a commotion. “Let’s have all nominated students please come stand in front of the class.” Dusty looks over to dark with a slight glare thinking to himself how the hell did that asshole get a better score than everyone.. The twin rabbits stand to the left of the teacher followed by dark. Dusty’s view suddenly got blocked as a all black uniform, bright purple curly hair, hedgehog eared and tailed with alabaster white skinned female stand up to walk to the front of the class. Dusty almost had to hold his breath as he felt her aura sucked the strength from his body as she walked away from his space the air lightened. Who in the world is that.. Dusty thought to himself using all his will power to remain calm. The girl walked to the front of the class her purple eyes staring dead straight at dark. Dark looked down a bit uncomfortable avoiding her gaze. She stands next to him her eyes locked on dark as the teacher tries to clear his throat. “N..noow. We have the twins Yin And Yang lain, Dark Isbole, and Temptress..” He pauses awkwardly before continuing. “Raise a hand for Yin and Yang.” Students chatted to themselves as hands raised, Dusty raised his hand thinking best option I guess out of all. “Alright good..” The teacher writes down the number of hands before moving on. “Dark?” He said as only one hand rose. Little Shizui didn’t care he was the only one at first before two others students rose there hand. “Alright good, good.. Temptress” A few hands raise as the classroom remained slightly on edge. “Alright that settles it then.. Yin And Yang you too will be Co-reps.” They smiled thanking him in unison before sitting back down in the desks. Dark went back to his seat feeling her eyes still bore into the back of his head as they class settled down. “Alright well. Seeing as that has been covered let's get right into the rules of the school and I will be having Yin and Yang pass out your class schedules as well. Now the rules here are pretty simple. One we do not allow fighting unless there is a time, place, teacher or upperclassmen and a safety guideline in place. Also when there is a sparring match or just a match to see who has the bigger balls.. You will not be permitted to use any Magic, spells or tools to cause or inflict injuries that will kill or could bring death. Rule two. When you are at school you will be asked to be in uniform and to respect the elders and upperclassmen authority. If there are any problems and the classmates above you can’t help you may speak to any of the teachers as well. Rule three. All classes must be passed with a test score of 85 or higher in order to continue to move up a grade. You won’t be dismissed on your first failing grade but after three you will be asked to leave the school. Dusty moved in his chair slightly at the thought of this. “As for everything else use your brain people and don’t get into trouble..” The bell chimes as he hands the twins a stack each. “Now grab your schedule from the twins before you go to your next class. Dismissed.” The students form a line between the two girls grabbing their schedules as they walk out as shizui comes to the front the twins look at him with glares. “Take it and move on.” Yang said her tiny nose twitching in disgust and he reaches to grab it. “Oopsies..” She drops it on the floor making him pick it up. He just ignores them and continues on his way with a an irritated dark who snatched his out of Yin’s hand glared a cold glare. Dusty looks at the twins and smiles. “Oh goodie Bitch one and bitch one and a half why did I have a feeling you two were too innocent looking.” Yang laughed. “Oh look yang the one who sits in the back cause he does not wanna be talked to is making communication with us.” Yang giggles. “I don’t think he can really understand us I beat he was practicing how to say that all day.” “Buzz off.” They say together there expression changing to a dark, psychotic state. “Maggots don’t belong here anyway..” Yang scoffed before they twins wrapped there arms around each other and walked away laughing. Dusty bit his lip in frustration shrugging it off quickly as he walked passed Shizui and dark who were looking at their schedule. “He can’t be all that bad..” Shizui said randomly after dusty had walked by. Dark looked at him curiously. “Why do you say that?” Shizui just shrugged and smiled well because that’s simple. If he was he would not have defended me.” Dark looked at him with a thoughtful expression. “In his own way..” Shizui added as he and dark walked to there next classes. Dark arrived in a large open arena like space where there were multiple thick glass cubes feeling up most of the space. He saw dusty standing by one watching as two mages Sparring using water magic. A small older lady walks over to where the freshmen have gathered with two older looking students. “Good morning fresh meat who is ready to get there butts kicked?” She smiles a innocent old lady smile at the highly confused group. “In this section of sparring cubes you will be up against animated training with all types of levels and lessons.” She walks swiftly to another section in the room her little legs moving faster than one would expect. “And in this section you will be fighting each other. One v one where I will judge on your speed to finish the battle and motion, skill and class on the performance you put on.” She looks back at the group with a wicked smile. “As long as you entertain me I don’t have to fail you.” He smile lightens again. “Good now that that was taken care of let's get started with some light simulations shale we?” Dark and dusty looked to each other. “Let’s see if your grades match you fighting yea?” Dusty challenged dark with a mocking tone. “Oh I won’t disappoint…” Dark responded back stepping up to the cube first. “Lets see.. Ah Dark Isobe huh?..” She pulls the paper closer to her face to read the small writing. “Best in the class and an outsider this oughta be interesting. Alright Fresh Meat. Grab your weapon of choice and we will go from there.” As dark stepped into the cube the floor lite up. He walked over to a rack of mech magic readers shaped into weapons. He passed over the bows, axes and went straight for a katana. “Alright..” The speaker in the cube turned on as Dark faced the inside of the cube walking into the center. “Interesting choice but not a surprise for a shinobi.” She laughed as dark ears twitched in surprise of her knowledge of him. “Now, I will be setting the level to 2 you seem like you don’t need to be at the bottom fresh meat so show me you won’t disappoint. The object of this simulation is to retrieve the flower that will blossom in a random part of the room. The longer you take to get it the less likely you will secede for the flower will wilt in time and re-spawn somewhere else.” The lights in the cube glow into a green hue as a countdown begins. “Five...Four…” Dark stands at the ready his blade in Suwari Migi Gedan no Kamae stance. “Three… two… one.. Go” The room flashes red as lights dance around him a simulated guy comes from behind him with a spear as a archer takes aim on a pillar. Dark waits till the archer released the arrow, swiftly dark jumps above the range letting the arrow stick into the simulated guy behind him. He jumps to the pillar across for the archer running across slashing with his katana to protect against an arrow using his hand it erupts into a bright flame punching to the simulated archers stomach as the light crumbles away. Spinning to his left he blocks using his katana to an oncoming axe pushing the person back with a kick before slicing his head off as he falls away. Crouched he scans the cube for the flower as the floor turned into a deserted temple view with many flowers and greener. Seeing a white flower atop a rubble alter. He dashes for it at amazing speeds. Three Archers appear above his line of sight firing flaming arrows. He e block them slicing two in half and knocking on back causing him to lose a straight shot to the flower as a pillar rises under his feet. Scanning the scene he sees the flower again jumping to a closer pillar. The archers release another round as he tries to get closer. He quickly decides to let the flower go and heads for the archers head on. A large simulated man with a shield and club appear in his path. The club hit the ground as quickly as he appeared causing dark to back-flip in the nick of time. “I think I need to take a more hand to hand approach on this one.” Sheathing his katana he strapped it to his back, his fists engiting into flames with a hint of an electric flow so light it was very noticeable . “Hm.. The teacher watches him change his magic with interest.” The simulated man twitched slightly before the club and shield vanished. The build of the man changed to a muscle taijutsu type with wrapped wrists. The simulator used water magic to form a thin ring around each of the man's wrists and waist. Dark waited as his energy built up. The man lunges at him with a left side punch. Blocking swiftly with his left arm he landed a strong right uppercut as the man landed his weight causing him to land straight into the powerful blow. Twist back the simulated man got up on his feet at the ready. Dark didn’t wait this time he lunged with a powerful kick to the chest as the simulator used both arms to block. Pushing off her roundhoused kicked towards the head landing a blow to send the man into a tree. “Dragons roar!” Dark blasted a long distance fire burning the tree and everything surround a 10 foot distance. Backflipped away dark nearly dodged water blades with a small cut on his cheek. The simulated man stood covered in burns as the water rings work into his skin to heal the worse. With a blink of an eye the simulator appeared behind him landing a vital hit to his spin sending dark flying. Dark used his hands to turn his body back to the simulated man grabbing his left shoulder, causing him to spin around where he slammed him to the ground. Water erupted from underneath the simulated guy causing an acid burn feel across Dark’s body. With a grunt he encases himself in fire to super heat the water before anymore hits his skin skidding back. As the guy starts to stand up Dark uses the time he hesitates to close the gap with a lunge. Slamming a square fire punch to his cheek he grabs the man's arm twisting it behind his back with a jab to his side. Holding his position behind him he kicks the guy launching himself at the flower that was wilting quickly. “Shit..” He thinks I am cutting this close. With a swift slice of his katana he is able to pull out and lightly, precisely, quickly cut the stem. Landing on his hands he spins his body to block the arrows of the remaining archers with flames rippiling from his blade tips, all while placing the flower lightly in between his lips. Backflipping into some cover her breaths slightly before looking to the flower he was holding. His eyes widen looking at a flower he had no intention on cutting. The flower he was going for was still sitting at the center of the rock pile. “Did I really miscalculate.... His eyes searched the small dainty white lily. Sparkling scales shinned within the center. Standing up he held the flower out a bit more before it slowly disappeared into thin air. He studied the plant to the very end until he could no longer visualize the flower at the seeing the cube went back to its transparent state he headed to the main door. There were a few students in aw and a few clapping. He rubbed the back of his head nervously thanking them. “That was indeed interesting.. “ He looked over to see the old lady watching him carefully. “I honestly didn’t think you could do it but you did..” Her eyes look him over before slowly turning to Dusty who had moved closer to watch. “Interesting indeed.. “ “Hey what was his time?” A student called out to the teacher. “8 Minutes and 45 Seconds.. “ She smiled as there were gasps across the students. “No way!.. “ “That’s a crazy time..” “When my brother was in school he said that even at level 2 for your skill set you should never do anything so thoroughly in under 10. The fastest time ever in the history of the tests was by a student back in the guardian days..” Dark and dusty’s ears perked instantly listening closely. “The was over 200 years ago!” “Yea I think I remember reading in the history book..oh it was.. Um.. “ “6 minutes and 22 seconds right?” The students continued to gossip with each other voice rising. “Right! That's what it was I missed that question on the test..” Dark’s could not hold his curiosity any longer, but as he opened his mouth Dusty beat him to the punch. “What's the guardian days..” All the students stop to stare at him as dark shuts his mouth backing up in his head thinking oh shit.. The silence remains till Yin the bunny twin with all black fur and a white patch around her right eye. “I guess we should not assume you outsiders know our history for not being pillaged enough to our books..” She pauses waiting for the snickers to die down. “Long time ago this forest and mage community looked mostly like it did back then, but instead of having five there were six branch families, branching into six talents, but see the sixth talent was rare. The talent that not only included every other talent but the life magic.” She sighed. “In lamer terms the magic that created the others. Since life in it-” “Yea no shit sherlock, get to the point.” Dark spat losing patients quickly. “See fresh meat the guardians of the life tree were the only ones to have the life talent but 200 years ago after a battle between the the Spirit which was the family most likely to be born the guardians personal bodyguards do to keeping the balance of the talents death and life the guardian was said to have died locking the Great Magi Tree within time and space.” The teacher added in. “But thanks to the last guardians great mercy she left enough magic life left in the trees of each branch that were still live here and have magic to this day. “ The old lady shrugs her shoulders as if she really didn’t give a damn about any of it. “It’s only written on paper though so who knows really. All the elders that survived the great massacre have died long ago. Alright that's enough for this section let's go down to the sparring cubes.. “ She walks away with the small group of students. “Are there books in the library?” Dusty dared to ask the rabbit as he got the response he knew he would. “Of course feel free to act like you can read and learn something savage.” She laughs as the rest of the kids walk off. “Oh you know her comebacks get worse the harder she tries..” Dark said stretching. “Actually I can agree on that..” Dusty said with a deep laugh. “Planning on reading up you seemed curious.” Dark asked dusty as they followed a bit behind the group. “Yea I might actually..why? Why do you care?” He looks Dark over who avoided answering easily. “I am gonna go stretch that crazy old hag might want us to fight each other next.” He slightly jokes with a serious set in his tone. Dusty watches Dark walk over to the bench to start stretching. Damn.. Dusty thinks to himself. I have to admit he is far more experienced and skilled in hand to hand by far. At least that is a plus for watching him fight first I can take that knowledge if we do spar. Meanwhile with Shizui he stood at the edge of a huge pool his body jittering with excitement. “Oh god I love free periods..” Jumping into the pool with a large cannon ball he let out a battle cry of delight. “Whooop!” The splash rippled across the surface causing to disrupt the other students in the pool. After his craziness in the water with splashing and water dragons all the other classmates had left. “Well… Now that I am alone I guess I could work on my control.” Meditating to the water's surface he focuses on storing his magic. “Clear your mind..” He told himself out loud as he focused on a ball of water in front of him. The ball was sloppy, dropped and moved around in all directions. “Damn it..” His mind filled with the conversation his friends had just this morning. “This idiot’s I wish they at least tried to like each other..” He said with a sigh before trying to focus again. “Alright come on now more distractions..” A giggle peaked his interest as his ears twitched madly to the sound. He desperately help onto the ball of water trying to control his magic flow but for some reason the sound of the giggle sparked his magic quickly. “You have become quite the lack of concentration type yea?” A playful voice rang in his ears as his ball lost all form in a cloud of rain. Opening his eyes irritated he looks around him, but for some reason could not see anyone. “Who’s… there? “ Confused, he stands up trying to find where this person was hiding.

The longer you take to get it the less likely you will secede for the flower will wilt in time and re-spawn somewhere else.” The lights in the cube glow into a green hue as a countdown begins. “Five...Four…” Dark stands at the ready his blade in Suwari Migi Gedan no Kamae stance. “Three… two… one.. Go” The room flashes red as lights dance around him a simulated guy comes from behind him with a spear as a archer takes aim on a pillar. Dark waits till the archer released the arrow, swiftly dark jumps above the range letting the arrow stick into the simulated guy behind him. He jumps to the pillar across for the archer running across slashing with his katana to protect against an arrow using his hand it erupts into a bright flame punching to the simulated archers stomach as the light crumbles away. Spinning to his left he blocks using his katana to an oncoming axe pushing the person back with a kick before slicing his head off as he falls away. Crouched he scans the cube for the flower as the floor turned into a deserted temple view with many flowers and greener. Seeing a white flower atop a rubble alter. He dashes for it at amazing speeds. Three Archers appear above his line of sight firing flaming arrows. He e block them slicing two in half and knocking on back causing him to lose a straight shot to the flower as a pillar rises under his feet. Scanning the scene he sees the flower again jumping to a closer pillar. The archers release another round as he tries to get closer. He quickly decides to let the flower go and heads for the archers head on. A large simulated man with a shield and club appear in his path. The club hit the ground as quickly as he appeared causing dark to back-flip in the nick of time. “I think I need to take a more hand to hand approach on this one.” Sheathing his katana he strapped it to his back, his fists engiting into flames with a hint of an electric flow so light it was very noticeable . “Hm.. The teacher watches him change his magic with interest.” The simulated man twitched slightly before the club and shield vanished. The build of the man changed to a muscle taijutsu type with wrapped wrists. The simulator used water magic to form a thin ring around each of the man's wrists and waist. Dark waited as his energy built up. The man lunges at him with a left side punch. Blocking swiftly with his left arm he landed a strong right uppercut as the man landed his weight causing him to land straight into the powerful blow. Twist back the simulated man got up on his feet at the ready. Dark didn’t wait this time he lunged with a powerful kick to the chest as the simulator used both arms to block. Pushing off her roundhoused kicked towards the head landing a blow to send the man into a tree. “Dragons roar!” Dark blasted a long distance fire burning the tree and everything surround a 10 foot distance. Backflipped away dark nearly dodged water blades with a small cut on his cheek. The simulated man stood covered in burns as the water rings work into his skin to heal the worse. With a blink of an eye the simulator appeared behind him landing a vital hit to his spin sending dark flying. Dark used his hands to turn his body back to the simulated man grabbing his left shoulder, causing him to spin around where he slammed him to the ground. Water erupted from underneath the simulated guy causing an acid burn feel across Dark’s body. With a grunt he encases himself in fire to super heat the water before anymore hits his skin skidding back. As the guy starts to stand up Dark uses the time he hesitates to close the gap with a lunge. Slamming a square fire punch to his cheek he grabs the man's arm twisting it behind his back with a jab to his side. Holding his position behind him he kicks the guy launching himself at the flower that was wilting quickly. “Shit..” He thinks I am cutting this close. With a swift slice of his katana he is able to pull out and lightly, precisely, quickly cut the stem. Landing on his hands he spins his body to block the arrows of the remaining archers with flames rippiling from his blade tips, all while placing the flower lightly in between his lips. Backflipping into some cover her breaths slightly before looking to the flower he was holding. His eyes widen looking at a flower he had no intention on cutting. The flower he was going for was still sitting at the center of the rock pile. “Did I really miscalculate.... His eyes searched the small dainty white lily. Sparkling scales shinned within the center. Standing up he held the flower out a bit more before it slowly disappeared into thin air. He studied the plant to the very end until he could no longer visualize the flower at the seeing the cube went back to its transparent state he headed to the main door. There were a few students in aw and a few clapping. He rubbed the back of his head nervously thanking them. “That was indeed interesting.. “ He looked over to see the old lady watching him carefully. “I honestly didn’t think you could do it but you did..” Her eyes look him over before slowly turning to Dusty who had moved closer to watch. “Interesting indeed.. “ “Hey what was his time?” A student called out to the teacher. “8 Minutes and 45 Seconds.. “ She smiled as there were gasps across the students. “No way!.. “ “That’s a crazy time..” “When my brother was in school he said that even at level 2 for your skill set you should never do anything so thoroughly in under 10. The fastest time ever in the history of the tests was by a student back in the guardian days..” Dark and dusty’s ears perked instantly listening closely. “The was over 200 years ago!” “Yea I think I remember reading in the history book..oh it was.. Um.. “ “6 minutes and 22 seconds right?” The students continued to gossip with each other voice rising. “Right! That's what it was I missed that question on the test..” Dark’s could not hold his curiosity any longer, but as he opened his mouth Dusty beat him to the punch. “What's the guardian days..” All the students stop to stare at him as dark shuts his mouth backing up in his head thinking oh shit.. The silence remains till Yin the bunny twin with all black fur and a white patch around her right eye. “I guess we should not assume you outsiders know our history for not being pillaged enough to our books..” She pauses waiting for the snickers to die down. “Long time ago this forest and mage community looked mostly like it did back then, but instead of having five there were six branch families, branching into six talents, but see the sixth talent was rare. The talent that not only included every other talent but the life magic.” She sighed. “In lamer terms the magic that created the others. Since life in it-” “Yea no shit sherlock, get to the point.” Dark spat losing patients quickly. “See fresh meat the guardians of the life tree were the only ones to have the life talent but 200 years ago after a battle between the the Spirit which was the family most likely to be born the guardians personal bodyguards do to keeping the balance of the talents death and life the guardian was said to have died locking the Great Magi Tree within time and space.” The teacher added in. “But thanks to the last guardians great mercy she left enough magic life left in the trees of each branch that were still live here and have magic to this day. “ The old lady shrugs her shoulders as if she really didn’t give a damn about any of it. “It’s only written on paper though so who knows really. All the elders that survived the great massacre have died long ago. Alright that's enough for this section let's go down to the sparring cubes.. “ She walks away with the small group of students. “Are there books in the library?” Dusty dared to ask the rabbit as he got the response he knew he would. “Of course feel free to act like you can read and learn something savage.” She laughs as the rest of the kids walk off. “Oh you know her comebacks get worse the harder she tries..” Dark said stretching. “Actually I can agree on that..” Dusty said with a deep laugh. “Planning on reading up you seemed curious.” Dark asked dusty as they followed a bit behind the group. “Yea I might actually..why? Why do you care?” He looks Dark over who avoided answering easily. “I am gonna go stretch that crazy old hag might want us to fight each other next.” He slightly jokes with a serious set in his tone. Dusty watches Dark walk over to the bench to start stretching. Damn.. Dusty thinks to himself. I have to admit he is far more experienced and skilled in hand to hand by far. At least that is a plus for watching him fight first I can take that knowledge if we do spar. Meanwhile with Shizui he stood at the edge of a huge pool his body jittering with excitement. “Oh god I love free periods..” Jumping into the pool with a large cannon ball he let out a battle cry of delight. “Whooop!” The splash rippled across the surface causing to disrupt the other students in the pool. After his craziness in the water with splashing and water dragons all the other classmates had left. “Well… Now that I am alone I guess I could work on my control.” Meditating to the water's surface he focuses on storing his magic. “Clear your mind..” He told himself out loud as he focused on a ball of water in front of him. The ball was sloppy, dropped and moved around in all directions. “Damn it..” His mind filled with the conversation his friends had just this morning. “This idiot’s I wish they at least tried to like each other..” He said with a sigh before trying to focus again. “Alright come on now more distractions..” A giggle peaked his interest as his ears twitched madly to the sound. He desperately help onto the ball of water trying to control his magic flow but for some reason the sound of the giggle sparked his magic quickly. “You have become quite the lack of concentration type yea?” A playful voice rang in his ears as his ball lost all form in a cloud of rain. Opening his eyes irritated he looks around him, but for some reason could not see anyone. “Who’s… there? “ Confused, he stands up trying to find where this person was hiding.
