Tien was standing next Master Uchida. "Good day Master Uchida, I trust I'm not interrupting anything important." Tien said obliviously.
Ren smiled. "Master Tien... they are in the middle of a lesson." Ren said looking around at Uchida's students.
Tien looked around at the students. "They look like patient kids, I'm sure they don't mind me interrupting."
[Well, since I pretty much got my bearings, i'll post..]
*Raiko stepped forward* Uchida Sensai, sorry for the interruption..My name is Raiko Zyacki..Please don't get it wrong again..please..*He stepped back into the line. Everyone stared at him, some in shock. No one talked to a Sensai that way at first appearance. He simply grinned. It was his job*

She looked down, closing her eyes. Should she let him know now? This game was getting quite funny. His obliviousness was not insulting, but something like...charming. She let out a soft chuckle to herself and stopped at the training grounds. There was one male there, waiting. The one she had inspected the night before, along with another female. Both seemed to carry a sense of nervous anticipation. There were a few others already waiting as well. She looked at Yuki and then the other." You are...Riyuzaki, no? Both of you, go wait over there with the others. I, Sensei Saiya Uchida" She paused and sent a signinficantly stern look at Yuki. " Will give you your instructions momentarily. Please be patient. Do not cause agitations in the peace among the others."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chou rose from her kneeling position o the ground as the sensei came into view.
" Uchida sensei..." She whispered. " Is a woman?"
A smile spread across her face. True her blind eyes could not see her approaching, But the vibrations of her footsteps, more gentle, casual then a mans gave her away. Her lowered voice in the distance was also a dead give away. Chou followed her with sightless yet attentitive eyes as she walked to the opposite side of the circular enclosure. Bamboo encased them all. The sensei stopped suddenly, turning quickly to face them. She opened her mouth and began to speak." Pupils, before i send you on your first task i believe introductions will be in order. My name , for you to call, will be Uchida sensei. I am the dragon master at this school. I specialize in stealth and combat meelee weapons. If you fight with throwing weapons, that is why you are here. If you weild a katana or multiple katanas, that is why your here. If you have priorly had ninja training, that is why your here. Anything other? Then you have a hell of a strong will. Know that at this moment you set foot on a journey that will end only with your life. You will have to enter this with your mind body and soul. If you make it through you will have the speed of a cheetah, the grace of an eagle, the strength of an ox." She paused defiantly. " The mind, of a Dragon."
For a moment her expression turned grave, dark. It was probably surprising to everyone when she smiled and closed her eyes.
" Now, id like you all to introduce yourself, tell me your age, and where your from "
Chou noticed that her voice wavered slightly. There was something wrong...she was hiding something.
-------------------------------------------------------------------Saiya blinked and opened her eyes, waiting for a response. The smile on her face was one of expectancy. She noted the blind girl. No one else had wanted to take her on, her personality matched the sheep masters, but he was a bit nervous of failure.
Pathetic.
She looked onto her new students and counted all that were here now, of course she already knew their names, this was simply their first test. Right now poisonous methane was leaking into the air around them. If they didnt notice they would be unconcious only moments after each profile was given. The first of the 6 went. A male, stating his name was Miroho and he was from okinawa. Next in their little line was YUki. This should be interesting.....Or maybe he would be the one to notice. Suddenly she stopped. The blind one had narrowed her eyes. She knew what was happening. Saiya cursed herself for letting the fact that her other scenses were hightened slip her mind. This should be a cinch for her.
Yuki froze, A SENSEI? I WAS CHECKING OUT A SENSEI?!?!?! He smacked himself in the forehead, and turned red. "What the hell was I thinking..." He said quietly to himself. He hid his face behind his sword and stared at the ground in embarrasment and kicked the dirt. Nice way to make an introduction to your sensei... He looked over at Ryusaki... at least he hadn't done anything this stupid. He then un-hid his face... "I-I-I-'m Yuki T-T-Tazuma... I'm f-from O-Osaka... Uchida... err Uchida-sensei." Now he had done it, suddenly, he felt a pressure in the air, Funny, this isn't the same air... Suddenly he coughed... Is it poison?!?! He looked up at Uchida-sensei, what was going on? A test? Or a murder? Either way, he had to stop her... once again, he embarrased himself. He dropped his bag on the ground and unsheathed his blade, "You won't kill me!" He shouted at her, his sword raised.

*Raiko went and finished what he was going to say* I am 22 years, and I come from Osaka aswell. And, just a word to everyone..You do NOT wanna make me angry..That is all. *Then he unsheathed all of his katana's, putting one in his mouth. His next plan was either leave the dojo to save his life, or attack the sensei and knock her off guard. He chose the second choice and stealthily moved through the methane gas, arriving behind her and aiming his two katana's downward, holding his breath to keep himself concious*

She opened her eyes, meeting his. She would like to hear his ' so reasonable' answer. It should be interesting to see his reaction to her punishment. She smiled slightly.

[/B]
She chuckled softly, trying to calm herself. Finally he realised her position in his life. She tossed her hair, pulling her face cover higher over her mouth, so just her eyes showed below her flowing black bangs.
" A pleasure, Yuki. Its very nice to meet you. "
She was grinning beneath her mask. The fearful look in his no longer calm eye entertained her attention. She watched as he drew his sword. A quick drawer. Good.
Slowly she approached him.
" Tell me, Yuki, What is the problem? Do not jump to conclusions, my student, but keep a calm mind. That is how you will pass my first test. Her voice was but a whisper in his ear. Look at your surroundings, everyone. Note who will panick, and who will help you. Realize your traitors, those who will run in fear, leave your side. Also note the keen ones beside you. "
She gave a nod to Chou, who was standing, her blind eyes widened as she wondered how to speak up.
" She obviously notices, but will she say anything? Oh. " she paused. " By the way, im not going to help. Your first lesson is to find what and where. You already know why. " Again she stopped. " And realize your teamates" She said in a sing song voice. " Im the enemy right now. " She added with a smirk.

With all this being said, she turned annoyedly to master Tien.
" May i help you? "
She asked, her eyes closed and head turned slightly.
*Raiko let go of the katana in his other hand took the one from his mouth into his hand. He landed down and accidentally breathed in the methane gas. He knew in a matter of seconds he would fall unconscious and fail. He wasn't going down without a fight. Though his vision was getting blurry and he swayed back and forth. His legs shook from the weight of his body. Then he dropped the katana and fell to the floor unconscious. He had failed the first test.*
Raiden looked awoke to the sound of more students scrambling. Quickly realizing his error in forgetting, let alone waking up late, he bouned out of his bed and into some clothes. However his image was untouched by this sudden rush of movement. All things he did, he did with a pulse; his pulse. When he walked out, he was calm and graceful; indifferent.
He exited the student dormatories, and into the main court-yard where each student awaited selection. I haven't looked toward a teacher. Come on Raiden, focus! Not even two weeks here, and your about to get sent home. He calmly made his way to the ranks of students, Just keep your eyes open. I'm sure not all the teachers are taken. He stood there, like a ghost's shadow. Still, quiet, unflinching, but vigilant and anxious.

She grabbed the male under his arms and lept up, landing hard on top of the thick bamboo. From there she could see the 3 methane boxes located around the huge encasment of bamboo around the ring. they would each need to be deactivated by slicing a wire, and then they would stop leaking. Landing outside she set the male to rest. She pulled her small poiuch of herbalized water out and lifted it to his lips.
A smile crossed her thin face.
" Yuo have failed your first test..but.. you were the only one to have actually taken in a significant amount of the gas. And let alone notice. Only 3 of you, i believe sensed it immediately. I pride you for taking action. You are not thorugh. "
She looked again at his unconcious face, and rose up, letting out a shrill whistle. 2 wolves came into view.
" Watch him. "
She siad to one, wlaking away with the other trailing her. She lept up again, watching her students prgresion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chou lifted a hand to her mouth as she heard the man fall. She opened her motuh but no words came out.
" Hn. "
She turned, blindly focusing on another who had realized the damage being down. She lifted her razor thin chain and began to swing it. Concentrating she heard the soft buzz of a mechanical box releasing the deadly gas into the air. She slid her sweater over her mouth and ran towards it, stoppngin front of it she let her chain slide through the wire, precisely enough to miss the actual canister it self. A dizzy wave swept through her and she stumbled to the left slightly.
*Raiko slowly woke and put a hand to his forehead.* Ow..my head..what happened..*He then saw himself staring into the eyes of a growling wolf. He remembered the words his old master taught him* "You can never be afraid of fear itself." *He stared at the wolf and didn't move. After it returned to it's laying position, he thought about what would happen next. He knew he failed the first test, but he barely heard Uchida Sensei say to him "You are not through".
Raiden had realized that he was waiting in vain. Most of the students where praying for failure in the other students already accepted. Once he grew tired of waiting, he made his way back to his dorm. He was distracted by the glimmering reflection of the little river that cut across the garden. He could never explain it, but the garden brought peace and tranquility for him. Since he was waiting, he decided he would wait in meditation.
When he reached his spot amongst the flowers, he lowered his head and thought. He knew most if not all the teachers, and most if not all their teachings. However he was still indecisive. It's not that I can't choose, he thought, but rather they wouldn't understand. And if I told them, they would allow me to use it as an excuse. And excuses are weakness. He continued to meditate allowing the frustration to flow out of his body. Perhaps a solitary training. Until you become strong enough to endure the training the teachers have reserved for you.
You think they'd let me stay for my own well being? I doubt it. No, if the teacher, given the amble time to notice, will see me for what I am. They surely will send me home.
All the more to train hard. Surly no teacher will see through you. You are a man of iron; an expressionless being. They will see an ambicious man and nothing more. He ceased to argue with himself. I feel filthy deciving them like this. It's not what I came here to do.
You are not deciving them, you are assisting them. If in fact you can't even last through your own training, than what makes you think you can last theirs?
I don't know...
Think of it this way: Your better knowing what your capable of, than leaving here with your tail between your legs. He stopped and agreed. It would certainly be better than going back to the monastary. Than it's final. I will train here as long as possible. I will present an improved and well stamina self to the sensei. If they accept, than it will be far better than if I were to accept now. If they reject, than at least I tried.
With that final overlook of his grand scheme he set out behing the tree and moved into more ardurous and extensive exercises. It was not easy, but nothing for him ever was....

{ Maleficus needs students, but you can be mine if youd like 😊 }With all this being said, she turned annoyedly to master Tien.
" May i help you? "
She asked, her eyes closed and head turned slightly.
Tien smiled. "I just wanted to check up on a friend. I can see your students are trying to give you a hard time though... perhaps I should comeback after the lesson." Tien said before he turned to talk to Ren. "Take a good look at what she is doing to these students." Tien told him.
Ren almost wanted to look away. "This is awful... they might die." Ren said, wanting to go and help them.
Tien sighed. "You are naive. She won't let them die, she will stop them from training though. They will be fine... I think." Tien said jokingly, knowing he would get a humerus reaction from Ren. "She might seem tough on them, but it will make them stronger... but, just so you know, I plan to be much tougher on you and the rest of my students."
Ren swallowed back the butterflies in his stomach and watched Uchida's students.
Raiden moved from physical strenuous activities, to stamina improving exercises. He was sweating profusely, and had removed his outer garments quite some time ago. He was holding himself upside down with only one hand while balancing on a rock. The other hand he maintained parallel to the horizon. His body began to bow, but he quickly corrected it, and it was straight once more. FOCUS, RAIDEN!. He kept pushing himself. The day for other was just ending, but he was just beginning.
The sun had already begun to descend and the candy orange skies spread across the heavens as though someone spilled a bucket of paint across the sky. Raiden had decided to rest under the tree, drinking from the nearby river. He was steading his breath. His body was covered in bruises and cuts from just today, and he was very hungry. I will eat only after I am done. But until then. He proceeded unto his next session and whipped out his numb-chucks. He began with short combos of movements. As he moved towards more complex movements, he found himself hesitant after the first four failures. NO, FOCUS! Regardless of the pain, he would become better. Perhaps not now, perhaps not soon, but it was his absolute.
Yuki watched as Uchida walked off, frozen in place after what she had said to him. He let his sword fall to his hip. His brain was beginning to kick in. "Look at your surroundings, everyone. Note who will panick, and who will help you. Realize your traitors, those who will run in fear, leave your side. Also note the keen ones beside you. " Those words, that do have meaning. He turned towards Ryuzaki and the rest of them. He stared at them, trying to find their weakness and their strengths. There was a blind girl who could not talk, her weakness, but perhaps she was smart... could she hear? What's she doing?!?! He thought as she saw Chou attempt to block the gas. "Stop that! That's not going to help!" He yelled to her. He turned to Ryuzaki, "We're going to need to work together on this one, okay everyone?" The last two words he said louder. Okay, there are valves leaking the gas into the air, perhaps if we can find a way to shut those down... He felt lightheaded, breathing was becoming much more difficult... he couldn't stop now, he needed to help. Come on Yuki pull it together. He felt a thick substance build up in the back of his throat, and a thin stream of vomit fell out of his mouth. His lungs had grown extremely heavy, Dammit, come on! He gritted his teeth and began to fight the gas that had all ready entered his body. What if I could steal a mask... He mustered up all his breath he could find and yelled to Uchida-sensei, "Oi! Uchida," "Forgetting" to add her sensei title. He pointed at her mask and the two people next to her masks, "I'll be getting those." He left his sword on the ground and ran towards them, his lungs felt like concrete and the substance was getting thicker. Damn... I can't... breathe right. He thought still running towards Uchida-sensei, Tien-sensei and Ren.
Originally posted by Spawn_MasterThe large grey wolf lowered his massive head to inspect the man lying beneath him. His growl faded to a subtle whine of curiosity. The wolf cocked his head and then lowered it once more to tke a deep whiff of his master's new play thing. He wished to play with it too, but his training told him otherwise. He bowed down for a moment, playfully baring his teeth before catching a sharp glare from Saiya, at which point he heaved a sigh and sat on his haunches nervously.

When Saiya saw this she sighed. Those wolves, so long ago, were supposed to have been put to death. She remembered clearly the day they wandered into the academy....thenthere were four of them. She had named each one, as they had come to her door begging for food. Not only had they done that, but attacked 5 students, two of which meeting their grim fates. She had only been able to save two, the two who she had trained to keep calm, intelligent, patient. Kuro and Haku.
Well well, what a bad time to dwell over the past.
She then turned to her students.
" I shuold deffinatley get in there."
She said, yawning before leaping forth into the ring.

She looked at Tien's younger apprentice and nodded once in correlation with his words. She smiled slightly beneath her mask. This was true. She would never let a student die on her. Not scince...She looked down, her eyes shaded.
Not now. Not now.
