We where walking towards the hidden stone academy. As to why we going there? Is a question I want to ask myself. We suppose to get a tour of the academy first before we where allowed to what we wanted. I walked besides azertha and liam as we where closing in on he acdemy.
It didn't look that much different from our academy. It was made out of clay and stone which made it look different. But didn't forget to mention that it is huge like five times bigger than the konoha acdemy. There where two buildings which where for different grades.
One I beleve is for high level jutsu learning and the other is for the lower grades to learn the basics. Himeko sensei was lead by a sand shinobi who was explain the details as we where walking towards the entrance.
" these buildings where designed to separated students who are learning high level of jutsus from the ones who are just starting out. Also each building inside house is own separated areas. For example One is for medical nin, and another Is genjutsu or if you want to just want to study taijutsu there's a separate classes for that." Explained the sand shinobi.
We where about to enter but himeko sensei stop us and said " currently there are students learning, don't make any fuss, any loud noises. Don't forget we are guests here"
The whole class nodded. We approached the biggest building which was where the high level students attended. This building stood out as it was tall and unique. It was was amazing to look at, the building was made by the hands of a true master.
The building was none like konoha buildings it looked as if it was from different worlds, on the to of the entrance there was a hidden sand logo to reprsent that this was a sand academy. We entered through the entrance and what came into view was a women. Not any kind of women she had black glasses and a strict face with lavender hai . She wore heels so High that she matched himeko sensei's height.
The sand shinobi shook the womens hand in respect and than turned to us and said" this is the head mistress Rabenda scharf. She is the women who changed this academy to what it is now, for the past decade that she has been the head mistress the potential and talent have risen."
Rabenda held her high up as she was praised but her face remained the same. She walked past the sand shinobi towards us the class. She went up down analysing us, she didn't make any facial expressions but as she neared azerth I saw a hint of eyebrows rising a sign of curiosity and not just him it was helena, liam and allison also.
But as she walked by me her face was cold. Through her glasses I saw her eyes, eyes that I'm to familiarised with. I'm being looked down upon, no those eyes is the same as those two boys and the pink haired girl, she thinks I'm trash.
She walked away from me as I didn't exist. She then proceeded to walk back towards himeko sensei.
" I would like the five participants for the academy tournament to come with me" asked Rabenda like she was demanding rather than asking.
Himeko sensei didn't say anything but nodded to her request. " azerth,Allison, liam, Helena and loket. I want you guys to come here" asked himeko sensei.
We all stepped out the line, I watched as she scanned the others in approved and understanding but as her eyes landed on me her dace for the first time moved into a frown.
" I think he asked for the five participants for the tournament. Not you" said Rabenda as she walked infront of me.
"I know that's why I stepped up" said loket annoyed.
Rabends turned towards himeko if this was true. Himeko nodded his head telling rabenda that I am one of the five participants. She turned her head back towards me and again her eyes reflected superiority, her eyes where cold as if I was nothing more than trash.
" I think there would of been better choices, but it dosent matter your other students are gifted and beyond talented I'm sure that you have picked him for some petty reasons" said rabenda in arrogance.
My face twitched but I didn't let my anger get the better of me. She walked away from like i was trash on the side walk.
" you five come with me" said rabenda.
We all looked towards himeko confused and not knowing what to do.
" it's okay guys, your safe" said himeko to ease our worries.
We followed rabenda through the hall. Her heels where loud and dominant we saw students running back to there classes or just avoiding eye contact with her.
I was confused as to where we where I looked at a sign at the top with writing 'medical students area'. So this was where the medical students learn. We where lead up on huge stairs leading us onto the taijutsu area. We walked past ninjutsu,genjtsu. Kenjutsu and many other more areas but we stopped on front a huge douple doors.
There was a sign with the writing" advanced area" rabenda opened the doors revealing a massive classroom or should I call it a hall. There was three rows of seats and in the middle was a massive area which was properly used for practising techniques.
There where five students sitting across from eachother doing there own thing.
"This is the classroom I teach, only the most talented and most gifted are allowed to be in this room" said rabenda.
The others looked our the massive classroom in awe. I was to focused on the five older students that where sitting on roes of seats. They get seats of rows to themselves, that's incredibley stupid.
I stared at the boy with steamed red hair eating a apple with his sharp teeth. I moved my eyes towards boy at the bottom with brown sandy hair, he wore glasses and was deep into his book.
I moved my eyes to the other side of the seats. I stared at the boy with golden haired boy who was at the top of the row, he was sharping his long katan.
I moved my eyes in the middle of the row a where a girl was looking working on her white with blue stands of hair. Her eyes where ocean blue while her body was fully matured into a women. I shook my head to stop myself getting distracted.
At the bottom row there was a girl with green Ambient hair and with sandy strands.She wasn't focusing on nothing. She looked like she was sitting in one place like lifeless doll.
The boy with red hair watched us with interested. I felt his blood lust from here, he's going to do something. I watched his body steam as he got up from his seat in a flash I saw him vanish leaving steam behind. I saw him run past me with steam coiling past me making me feel the intense heat.
My eyes narrowed at him as he appeared next to azerth with a kunai to his throat. Liam,Allison and Helena where suprised by the sudden attack but they saw azerth's kunai aimed behind the red haired boy which was a millimeter away from cutting him.
"Hooh hooh your not half bad. To be able to react in time while I'm using my steam to enhance my speed. I'm impressed, the things about you aren't a lie" said the red haired boy with a raspy voice and smiling widely with His sharp teeth showing itself.
" If my instincts didn't kick in I wouldn't even be able to react." Said azerth while retrieving his kunai backing I'm his ninja pouch while the red boy did the same.
" what?! Whats?! Going on. Is it something fun" the white haired girl appeared out nowhere behind Allison. How the hell did she gey passed me without me detecting her.
Allison jumped forward in suprise. This was the first time in her life that anyone got behind her or get passed her sensory. Her face was a mixed of confused and warryness.
" don't make such a face I just wanted to suprise you a bit girll." Said the silver haired girl in a playful tone.
"As you have met already met these two i will introduced the otheres" Sabrenda said with a hint of proudness as she introduced her students.
Sabrinda turned around towards the rows of seats and said" all three of you I would like if you come and see the students who will be fighting against you" said sabrina nicely which shocked me a bit because she looks to be the type to be demanding then asking.
The other three made the walk down slowly. we all lined up side by side and stared at eachother like we where long lost enemies. I stared in front of me as the boy with the glasses had his nose stuck to his book. By the looks of it he had a medical ninjutsu book.
" students I would like you to introduced eachother, you might be fighting but you are not enemies. To start i think my students should start first, hephas you start first." said sabrina with a strict voice.
That is a lie every one knows that this all a way to show which village has more talented students. This is a way for one village to show the other village there might.
The boy with glasses shut his book and for the first time notice me infront of him. " my name is Hephas Hon and iam tweleve years old" said the boy half-assed andlazily. When he finshed introducing himself he went back to his book.
The white haired girl next to him was next. She was infront of helena but she hasn't even looked at Helena once she was staring at her hair. I saw Helena's face twitch in irrataion.
" oh is it my turn my badd, my name is lila apate and iam tweleve years oldd" said the lila in a playful tone.
The red haired boy next to her spoke next. He was infront of liam smiling with his shark like teeth, it felt like he was mocking liam in someway as if he wasn't acknowledging him.
" my name is Cetus cardinal and iam twelve years old." Said cetus with a raspy voice while ignoring liam and staring at azerth with a wide smile.
Right next to him was the golden haired boy. He had his katan in his scabbard which was strapped to his waist. He stood in front of azerth while staring at allison. I couldn't see or notice anything from him he didn't show any interest or anything towards allison. Maybe she's good at hiding his emotions.
" my name is Oedi nebu and iam tweleve years old" said Oedi with a low voice and with a nonchalant manner.
I stared at the emotionalless girl. She was tall even taller that azerth, ahe had a pale skin and Her brown eyes which were nonresponsive.
" my name is Pakura and I am twelve years old" said pakura emotionallessly. She spoke like a robot, clear but soulless. Allison who was infront of her was confused and worried as to what is wrong with the girl.
" now that my students have introduced themselves I think it's appropriate for you to do the same. How about you start first" said sabrina with demanding voice.
She pointed at me but I felt like i couldn't refuse her. I stared at the at the boy named hephas,What a weird name. His concentration was on his book not even given me any respect to listen to my name.
" my name is loket and I am ten years old." Said loket straightly.
"I was told that we would be fighting students who would be younger. But as I see now the only one who is close to matching my power is that boy azerth. The others are all fodders" said the cetrus with a raspy voice. His words made the others angry and annoyed.
" hey what gives you the right to-" before liam could argue sabrina stopped him.
" that'd enough! I will not tolerate ant arguements" screamed sabrina strictly.
What bullshit this women is spouting. She could of stopped cetrus from angering and annoying us. But she allowed him to speak and she didn't do anything about it. I stared at sabrina, i could see how proud she is of her students.
"Now continue to the next person" said sabrina un a demanding voice.
" my name is helena uchia and i am also ten years old" said Helena a bit annoyed.
" my name is liam sarutobi and I'm ten years old also" said liam in anger.
" my name is azerth fuma and iam ten years old" said azerh calm and collective.
"My name is allison yamanaka and I'm ten years old" said allison with a hint of uneasy.
"Now that we all know our names we are not enemies anymore. I was confused at first as to why you older students from your academy wasn't participating but now I see. You all have plenty of talent except...." said sabrina with a strict voice but she looked at me as she finshed her sentence.
Helena and the others furrowed their eye brows. Helena clenched her fist as she felt angry as did all the others including azerth who was the calm and collective one.
" what gives you the right to say that. You don't know nothing about loket" Screamed liam in anger.
" do not scream at me I am your superior you will show me some respect." Said sabrina strictly
Liam backed down as he couldn't disrespect the head mistress.
" it is admiral that you will stand up for your friend but the truths is he has no talent at all. I've seen his type alot, he's ordinary there's nothing special about him nearly all of my students have kekkei genkai. They will all be remarkable ninjas when they will grow up and you guys included. But him he's like all the others... trash" said sabrina with superiority tone. Her world view of children and people of flawed.
She is what's wrong with this world. She breeds hatred. From the start this women has been judging and analysing us. In her mind she has labeled everyone else as trash except if you have peaked her interested.
I watched the sand students look at me as I was a trash. I didn't given in to her provocation as that would be playing into her games. I stared at Helena clenching her fist in anger I could see that she was about to explode.
" what gives you the right to say that! You don't know nothing about loket and you judge and already brand him a 'trash'. I've had-" before helena could cause destruction I put my hand infront of her stopping her.
" it's okay. They can judge me all they want I don't mind" said loket calmly.
"Oooh a cool boy are you. I like making trash like suffer" said cetrus with a raspy voice.
"What did you say?! Screw the tournament I will beat your ass right now" said liam in anger as he stepped right infront of cetrus face.
" now we can agree on that" said cetrus in a raspy voice.
The air around the classroom changed making it more tense and unease. Everyone held their weapons ready to pounce. I watched as sabrina's eyes which where delighted of what has transpired. She was going to allow us to fight without doing anything about it.
As there tension grew every body was prepared to charge at eachother. The double doors opened allowing the tense in the room to leave.
" what's going on here?" Asked himeko sensei confused as to what is happening here.
" it's nothing we are all nearly introducing ourselves to eachother" said sabrina going back to her usual self.
Himeko looked at all of us and knew something was going on. " if you have finshed, I would like my students to come back. As the tour has finshed" said himeko sensei.
" well it looks like the fun is over, I hope you enjoyed yourselves. We will see you on the day of the tournament." Said sabrina with a strict tone.
Before I could walk away sabrina held my shoulder tightly stopping me in my tracks. She came closer to my ears a whispered" I will give a chance to come to the tournament if you compley my students won't end your career as a student".
What nonsense. I gripped her hand and pushed her hand away. " i am alright. As you have kindly offered me a advise I will give you one also. Forfeit your students from participating or ill do worser than end there careers.. that's a promise." Said loket coldly.
Before sabrina could say anything loket walked away. Sabrina felt humiliated and angry.
" it was great meeting y'all" said lila in a playful tone.
We left the room leaving sabrina and her students alone.
" I want you guys to cripple that boy" said sabrina as her facade fell behind her mask revealed a angry face her eyes visibly turned into fury.
" but they looked soo cute"said lila.
" what about the others" said cetrus in a raspy voice.
" do whatever you want" said sabrina.
As we left the classroom allison sighed inrelief.
" are you alright?" Asked liam.
" from the start that was intense. I'm glad we are leaving the academy now" said allison in relief.
" yes that women is diabolical the way she treated loket was wrong. But now we can all go and explore the village" said Helena.
Helena was right about that women. But it remained me that we are in enemy territory even if we made a packet it still dosent dissappear the long years of wars. I will have to be careful from now on.
To be continued
