Chapter 5 - His name was Kinu

Tuesday

"Takeshi! Hurry up before you're late for school!" His aunt yells up the stairs.

"I'm behind you ma'am," Takeshi and Maiman stood behind Arhiyan at the bottom of the stairs, already ready to go to school.

"Good lord on high you scared me half to death!" She gasps out of surprise and turns to face them.

"We came to tell you that we're going to head to school ma'am," he gives her a small smile in response.

"Well hurry up and get 'fore you late," she shoos him out of the house and he heads to school after giving her a smile.

"Now class, I would like you to meet Takeshi Ryuu. He's new," a tall man in a black trench coat and black pants stood at the head of the medium sized classroom with messy black hair half covering his dark brown eyes. Takeshi notices that he's much younger than Mr.Himu as he steps into his new class with Maiman at his side, carefully glancing around the room at all of the students. The whole class stays quiet as they stare at him.

"I'm Mr.Norio. Go ahead and sit wherever you like," the teacher motions to the desks filled with students.

"Thank you sir," as soon as Takeshi speaks, a few students start quietly talking. He ignores them and sits down as Mr.Norio starts class.

"Now, training. You all, most of you, learned all of the text book stuff between level one and five. Well. You're at level six now. This is where you train and learn new tactics. Since we have a new student, I think I'll have him be the example," they all stood outside in one of the training yards.

"Mister Ryuu, would you step up here and leave your wolf there," Mr.Norio looks at Takeshi and Maiman. Takeshi looks down at Maiman who sits calmly then walks up in front of his teacher.

"I will be showing the class your skills so we can find a ranking for you, Carne Morta," Mr.Norio sighs and looks Takeshi in the eyes.

"He already has a nickname," one of the students laughs.

"First day too," another one laughs.

"It means 'dead meat' no less!" A student with long grey hair laughs along.

"Let's get started," Mr.Norio takes a step towards Takeshi and quickly throws a kick at him. Takeshi catches it and flips him backwards. He does a flip but kicks Takeshi in the chin during the flip. Takeshi stumbles back a little but catches a punch that Mr.Norio throws at him. This goes on for over ten minutes.

"If we continue, the others won't be able to train any," Mr.Norio stops and stands up straight.

"So you're calling quits?" Takeshi can't help but laugh a little. Mr.Norio rushes at him and as Takeshi goes to flip him, his teacher flips him instead, slamming him into the grass with a loud thud.

"No, I think you're the one on the ground," Mr.Norio looks down at Takeshi who's smirking at him.

"Sure looks like it," Takeshi stands up and laughs, walking back over to Maiman.

"I'm so hungry. Mr.Norio sure likes to wear people out huh?" Takeshi laughs while filling Maiman's plate with a raw steak. She begins to eat as he pulls put a sandwich and starts to eat.

"Growing boys sure need their nutrition Mr.Ryuu," Takeshi looks up to find the headmistress and Mr.Himu standing over him.

"Oh. Nice to see you ma'am," Takeshi smiles at her.

"We just came to inform you that the Clone," she starts to say.

"Kinu," he interrupts.

"Kinu… Is being taken to one of the cloud facilities to be interrogated for his reason in entering this school. If he does not talk to any of us after a while, would you be able to come assist us in the interrogation?" The headmistress looks a little uncomfortable asking Takeshi this as a few gasps and mummers erupt from the other tables.

"Yes ma'am. I'm able to do anything that is needed and expected of me. Again, if it is to help the school, then I am up to doing anything," Takeshi smiles at the headmistress.

"Good, well, have a good lunch. I hope your assistance will not be needed," her and Mr.Himu turn and walk off. He watches them go and starts to eat again as the tables around him quietly erupt in conversations and confusion.

"You're the guy who found the Clone aren't you?" Some random student calls from another table.

"His name was Kinu. And to answer your question. Yes. I am," Takeshi answers while pulling a book out of his bag and opening it to read. The tables around him get louder in conversations and more confusion.

"So, you're the guy who went from level one to level six in a day?" Another student calls out and Takeshi nods yes in response.

"And you're new here?" Some other random student yells out.

"Yes. I'm new here. I went from level one to level six in one day. I found the Clone. I took down the Clone and reported it. Now, if you don't mind, I'm trying to read," Takeshi sighs in annoyance as the tables get louder. "Let's go Maiman," he stands up after putting his stuff back in his bag and starts to leave the lunch courtyard. Almost every student at every table watches him leave the lunch room quietly.
