Rhaim took in everything that the Academy teacher said with much difficulty. The teen had not even seen what the man was capable of, but knew that the class he instructed respected and feared him immensely. For such a shinobi to be speaking so highly of him made him a bit uncomfortable. However his face held the same passive indifference that it often did. Hands in his pockets he followed the speaking Yuzuki back towards the building.
The information that students had gone missing struck him as very odd. That was not the kind of information to be given freely to someone who still owned the headband of another village. The Nara understood the gravity of such a comment above everything else that had been said. Once Yuzuki was finished the Genin nodded, "Yes, Sir. However I do have a couple of requests. First I think it would be best to be issued a Sound headband so that people don't get suspicious of me. Second please do not address me as your equal. Even if skill is matched, our rank and experience is not. You are still my superior, Sir."

 Yuzuki gave the smallest of smiles. "Heh, I can guess what you must be thinking...but it's because your an outsider thus far that I'm counting on you to be objective." he reached into his coat, and removed a pristine Oto Headband, the musical note on it's face looking freshly cast. "Here...whether you take my request or not. Welcome to the village. You've earned the right." he then went on. "The one's behind the Kidnappings are old Otogakure rebels. It's been all but confirmed. Seeing as the Director believes you to to be a man who can be trusted, and I've seen no reason to doubt this..." he gave a slight nod. "There is a possibility that you may have to face the villages most wanted criminals... Alias, the Nightmare of Oto, and The Requiem." he again withdrew something from his coat. "So now I think about it...you might need this too." It was an Oto issued Bingo book. One of the many made since the reclamation.
"I never met them face to face, but the the Nightmare killed the man who taught me, a Knight..." he then thought to translate "A Jounin, and made it look easy." he said this without hatred or emotion, but there was a hint of something his eye. "It was war, so I can't say anything for his methods, but it's a safe bet at least that if you run into him or his partner, you won't stand a chance."
"The two Chuunin being assigned to this have a reputation for being...unorthodox. I doubt they would run given the chance. On the scare odds that these rebels are working with the Requiem and the Nightmare, most in the Hidden Sound would try to negotiate with their former heroes, or feel some manner of kinship with the rebels... and at worse, from my own clan foolishly think they could actually fight them."
He shook his head. "You've clearly got both feet on the ground. A rare and valuable trait as a shinobi in itself. And you don't have any reason to feel a connection, or hatred, for the fallen heroes of Oto. I'm asking you not only because I think you're skilled enough to get the kids back, but also because objectively speaking you have enough sense to know when a battle goes beyond you. If you see either of the Ninja listed prominently in this book, abort." he seemed somewhat aggravated. "My students are important...but it won't help them if you die needlessly." he again seemed to calm into his stoic regard.
"Still, despite the fact that I'm not really selling the mission." he said with a slight hint of a smirk. "What would you say...?" he then let the smirk widen, "As for me being your superior, you're technically correct. But I'm not one to walk taller than any man who's proven himself. So you'll have to put up with it."

Rhaim kept the passive look on his face through the entire description of the mission. When offered both the headband and Bingo Book he took them in a single hand. As Yzuzki continued the teen tucked the book under his arm and tied the headband around his forehead with the musical note centered over his left eye. Once that was done he flipped open the book to find the two people that the man before him was speaking of. When conversation drifted back to the Nara as a shinobi he slipped the book into his pack. At the end of it all Rhaim gave Yuzuki the closest thing to a smile, a shrug, "Yes, Sir. I'll put up with it, Sir."
Pleasantries aside his hands ended up in his pockets once again, "I would be honored to help on the mission. And I'll do my best to bring everyone back. If there is nothing else I should probably report back to where I was originally brought in. Something tells me that's where the Chuuin will be waiting for me."
[Exit to Secret Police... provided Yuzuki is done.]

((Yep.))
Yuzuki nodded. "That's right. I sent word to the Director that you might be showing up. Good luck." he nodded, heading back inside the academy. "Oh," he peaked his head back out the door. "And those two...they're..." he seemed to think for a moment on how to phrase it. "Don't let them touch you. They don't mean any harm, but they tend to be rather thoughtless sometimes. If you haven't heard of the Soma clan, they have the unique ability to...go inside other people's bodies. They might give you a bit of trouble, but they'll get the job done if they can. and don't go and let them distract you with their..." he rolled his eyes. "Well, nevermind. You'll get the idea. Good luck."

 LV. 1 Experience: 0/100 Hp: 11 Cp: 12 MHp: 11 Rolant Estoqueur sighed as he walked up to the Academy building."What a despicable looking place" Rolant mused as he pulled his gloves tighter unto his forearms."Whelp, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step..or something like that." Rolant whispered out lightly sliding his pointer finger and thumb across the brim of his crimson chapeau. As Rolant walked past the entry way and into the reception area of the academy he loooked around seeming lost as he stood perplexed the receptionist nearby noticed the dapper looking young man and began to question him."young man, could i help you?" the receptionist asked seemingly perplexed as the boy lightly flinched at her sudden question. "Um, Yes mam" Rolant paused lightly tipping his chapeau to the receptionist "If i could inquire as how to join your fair academy." Rolant questioned as the receptionist kindly smiled at the odd boy."Sure, If you would kindly wait in the waiting area over there i will make the proper calls and someone will be with you shortly." The receptionist smiled kindly as she quickly dialed a number and began speaking to someone on the other end. Rolant blinked away the woman's instructions as he made a slight bowing motion towards the nice woman and made his way towards the waiting room to await whomever was supposed to greet him.

Yuzuki gave a gruff "humph" as he saw the rather measily excuse for a candidate before the receptionist, looking "bright eyed and bushy tailed" about joining the academy and learning to be a shinobi...what exactly did parents think this place was now? Child day care? Did they thin he was a baby sitter?! There was no way he could take on another student now unless....
Suddenly a broad smirk passed over his face. Oh...oh this might be a better opportunity than he thought. He might be able to get this kid to take his advanced training course. He fell more neutral. Assuming the kid survived, he might be able to actually join his other students that were sleighted for immediate promotion upon their return to the village... assuming he survived. He gave a small content smile on his face, an almost comical sadistic gleam in his eye as he wallked up to the boy from around the corner, his hands in his pockets, as he looked the boy up and down. He called the boy's attention. "So...you want to be a Ninja...is that right...?" he snapped his fingers in the receptionist's direction. "Mai, get me form 1029283."
The receptionist seem to adapt a terrified expression on her face for a moment, looking almost like she might try and warn the boy, only for an admittedly calm even look from the academies instructor to halt her at once. "Is there a problem...?"
"N-no!" the woman rebutted, immediately shuffling about the file cabinets behind her until she pulled out the proper bright red form. "H-here it is...sir." she laughed awkwardly.
Yuzuki gave a nod, looking rather laid back about the matter as he took the form and held it out the boy. "Here. Fill this out. It's just basic information. Also be sure to sign your name at the bottom. That's important." The receptionist seemed to want to shout at the boy.
'NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! You'll die for sure!!' But the overly enthusastic training methods of Yuzuki were only overlapped by his annoyance with anyone who interfered with his teaching methods with his students...so she stayed her tongue.

LV. 1 Experience: 0/100 Hp: 11 Cp: 12 MHp: 11 Rolant seemed to grimace as he noticed the receptionists sudden facial changes "Whats her problem" Rolant thought as he traced the brim of his Chapeau once more."Sure" Rolant paused as he read the first few lines of the application "Blood type? Nearest kin!? Living will!?! What am i signing up for exactly!?" Rolant stuttered out in an unsettled tone as he checked a few boxes in the usual Estoqueur manner,never really meaning what they seemed to mean. Rolant hesitated as he reached the bottom line where he would sign his name "Hrm...." Rolant mused out as he scribbled his name carelessly at the bottom of the document and handed the application back to the instructor.

Yuzuki gave slight smirk, his eyes suddenly giving a triumphant gleam. "Good. Welcome to the program kid." he gave the distinct impression that evil laughter should have been reverberating around him. "Now then." he folded up the paper like it was something precious and slipped it into his pocket. "If you'd follow me." he began leading the boy down the hall. "Normally I'd have you join your fellow students...but in this case..." he adapted a slight leer as they stopped in front of a rather ominous door marked. "Yuzuki's super special awesome happy funtime room of candy and ice cream." he frowned as he took the sticky note off the door, crumpling it up as he complained. "Hn...Shiho..." he then opened the rather ominous looking door. "Well, after you." he once more adapted his sadistic gleam in his eye. "This is...an advanced training course...to get you caught up with the other students... I'm sure you'll find it...fulfilling."((Picture dramatic anime comedy lightning every time he leers. xd What sort've things are you looking to train?))

LV. 1 Experience: 0/100 Hp: 11 Cp: 12 MHp: 11 Rolant grimaced as the mans theatrics unerved him a bit as he thought "What did i just get myself into?" Rolant walked behind his new instructor and as he made some nonsense tyrade about an "advanced course" Rolant pulled his gloves tighter on his forearms and lightly traced the brim of his Chapeau "Enough with this nonsense talking" Rolant paused "If im going to possibly die from this lets get it over with!"Rolant mused feining bravery in the usual Estoqueur fashion. ((The first few things i'll need to train are INT,Chakra control,Genjutsu,and WIS))

Within the room, there didn't seem to be any light sources, Yuzuki shutting the door as soon as they entered, causing the lights to turn on...as though they had been set that way to avoid people seeing what the room contained and trying to escape. Yuzuki's leer was back in full as he suddenly loomed over the boy. "Welcome to the Oto Academy's advanced Genin training program. If you're still alive by the end of it, you'll make Genin...guaranteed."
The room was filled with horrible looking contraptions, several of which contained drills, pendulum blades, and a pool over in the corner seemed to contain....sharks. it was rumored around town that the Chakra Sensing sharks used during the Chuunin exams had been bought off Yuzuki...but this was just hearsay.... he'd never sell his chakra sensing sharks to those softies over in Kiri.
"Now then..." another gleam in his eye. "Let's start you out on something easy, just to break you into things..." How the boy suddenly found himself strapped into a rather malefic device with a drill inches from his face was a mystery. "Now then!" he said over the spinning hiss of the drill. "Read this book out loud and fill out the quiz at the back...for every question you get and wrong and if it takes you over ten minutes..." the machine seemed to pull out several more drills. "Well...I'll let you connect the dots."+4 to roll for yuzuki's assistance Training: OH GOD WHY!?! Yuzuki's idea of book work and the drill of DOOM!! gonk INT Training: DC: Fourteen above current Int mod Penalty: take more than 15 rolls, or get a fail, and -1 hp (Resting posts permitted when 1 hp remaining)

Rolant panicked as he somehow became strapped into some device. The smell of panic and fear from the previous victim,as well as some pungent scent of blood distracted the boy just enough for him to not beale to read the question the book was asking.Rolant gulped as he read the question quickly. "If a train A is speeding towards a train B....where do the two speeding trains meet?" "Um....42" Rolant stated hesitantly,that HAD to be the answer!"What?" The machine seemed to question as it pricked the young estoqueur" "OUCH!" The boy yelped as the drill bored a small nick into his skin

Rolant squirmed as warm blood trickled from the small nick in his finger."Now boy, answer me this, What are the four jutsu required by the Genin Exam that all academy students must learn?" Rolant instantly smirked as the machine finished its question"Bunshin,Kawarimi, Nawanuke, and Kakuremino no jutsu." Rolant grimaced a bit as he expected the machine to nick him anyway as some dirty trick but relaxed as the machine hummed slightly untightening his restraints a little."Correct" The machine buzzed as it flipped to another question

Rolant shouted as the machine buzzed and whirred."How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" " Whu-" Rolant let out as the drill buzzed and nicked him a little bit worse in the same area"Wrong" The machine monotonely buzzed out as it retracted its drill.

Rolant nurtured his wound a bit as he gave the machine a cross stare as it beeped and buzzed again ready to give another question. "If the left side of a kunai is longer than a regulation table spoon how many fuma shuriken would it take to screw in a malfunctioning explosive device?" Th machine whirred out as it awaited an answer. "I dont even what i-OUCH" Rolant cried out as the machines drill nicked him a little to the left of the previous drill mark.

Rolant immediately didnt even answer the absurd question the machine spat out in a haste. Rolant grimaced as the machine scraped a different area. "If you keep this up you will never get out of this machine" The machine cackled a bit ominously as it prepared to continue on with the questioning "Soon you will HAVE to get another one right" The machine poked fun at the boy as it clicked to the next question.
