Welcome to Gaia! ::

Conan felt a shiver go down his spine as he watched Rhaim but ignored it. He had failed once but Conan didn’t really say anything about it. Instead when Rhaim became Moku again Conan clapped his hands together and said. “ good job Rhaim-kun you’ve almost got it.” Conan had noticed that Rhaim wasn’t a very talkative person. Wondering why Conan just came out and said “ say Rhaim-kun why don’t you talk very often? Are you shy is that it?” Conan was never one for discreteness. He had always said what was on his mind as he showed when he got into a fight with the rock from his training.

Reza smiled to himself at his accomplishment and decided that he might take a break and talk to some of the others but before that he wanted to lie down in the soft grass for a few minutes. He didn’t even bother sitting he just flopped backwards on the ground and stared up at the sky. The grass in the meadow rose up on either side of him, blocking the other students from view. He could feel the soft ground beneath his body, This is good ground for farming, the thought flashed unbidden through his mind. He shrugged it off and watched the fluffy white clouds drift lazily across the morning sky. He deeply inhaled the cool, crisp morning air and let his eyes slid close for a moment.

Despite the way Reza looked on the outside, inside he was a swirl of emotion that conflicted with each sending him on an emotional roller coaster. He was happy that he was in the city and enrolled in the Ninja Academy, but also sad that he had to leave his family behind. He was relaxed because so far no one seemed to have noticed, besides the boy with the cut, or wanted to cause any problems. At the same time he was also tense, afraid that he might do something that would offend someone or alienate himself from the rest of the students. In the end he steeled himself and decided that now was not the time to think about all this stuff and resolved to do some mindless repetitive task later to help him relax.

With a great sigh Reza pulled himself to him feet and picked up the scroll that the Sensei had handed him. He opened the scroll and look at the next activity he was supposed to perform. As he read the instructions his became furrowed with worry, It says that I’m supposed to practice with ranged weapons on dummies, but where are the dummies and the weapons. He picked his head up and looked around the meadow until he spotted the dummies over by the boy he had talked to earlier. Well that's one thing down now where are the weapons. Despite his efforts he did not see the weapons out in plain sight and decided that it was time to ask someone where the weapons where. He noticed that two ninja were talking to each other close by. After taking a moment to let the knot in his stomach untwist itself he approached them.

“Excuse me,” he said to Conan in a slightly meek voice, “I’m a new student and I was wondering if you could perhaps tell me where the weapons are that we should use for target practice.”

He then valiantly tried to smile at the two ninja but due to the nervousness in his stomach it came out light a morbid grimace

Conan was still watching Rhaim when another student came out and asked Conan where the weapons for the dummy’s were. The boy looked like he was pretty nervous so Conan just smiled at him and said “ oh we get them from sensei.” Conan said as he pointed over at Moku and the others. Before putting his hand out towards the new boy “My name is Conan Senju , I haven’t met you before. Actually I don’t seam to see any of the people I usually have class with. “ Conan kept his one hand out and moved the other behind his head as he laughed. “ so your going to do the target practice? I already did that. Now I just need someone to pair up with for the last few things in the curriculum.” Conan smiled at the nervous looking boy in hopes to make him feel better.

As the sun continued to rise up in the sky Tenma felt the warmth begin to blanket the clearing. It was a lovely day, one that Tenma usually would have spent working in her grandmothers garden, not playing pin cusion with a wooden dummy. Taking in a deep breath of the warming and crisp air Tenma cleared her head of memories in order to make another attempt at her target.

Pulling out her next senbon Tenma took a moment to familiarize herself with the feel. It was thin, but it also felt sturdy and strong. The metal was still cool from being in the protective shade of Tenma's holster. With a nod of her head Tenma brought the senbon bacl to her ear in the same fashion she had used before. With her whipping action she brought the senbon forward to send it at the wooden target, but something felt different. The weapon fell short of striking the dummy and stuck itself in the ground. Tenma looked to check her posture when she noticed that she hadn't brought her wrist through. She roughly shook her arm out, reminding herself that she was only human and that mistakes were a part of life.

Finally Rhaim had held the Henge no Jutsu as Moku for two solid minutes and thus released the technique for a much needed breather as himself. Though using the technique wasn't too hard in and of itself, keeping himself from getting too distracted by all of those around him was definately quite the feat in his mind. So the young Nara stretched briefly as he considered who he would try to imitate for his last go. His glance fell upon the small girl currently throwing senbons and he smirked inwardly. He hadn't even considered how much more difficult trying to take on a girls form would be. The more he thought of it the more of a challenge it seemed and therefore the more that he felt the need to do it. So with his mind set on transforming into her figure he brought his hands to the center of his chest, formed the seals, and released his chakra.

With one minute down, the boy had only to maintain the form of the small girl for another minute to be completed with his Henge no Jutsu training. He wasn't worried so much about whether or not he was able to hold the technique as he was about what Conan would say when he had finally finished. Though he hadn't out right said it, Rhaim was sure that the only reason he had come to rest near him was to use him for some of his own training. Not that the Nara had anything against helping people with their training, it was just that he didn't know why he had been chosen as the subject for such events. This uncertainty would no doubt bother him for some time. Rhaim shook his head and cleared his mind of the other people floating about in there. He needed to conentrate on his task and that's just what he would make sure that he did.

Reza smiled at the boy, “Thank you.” He turned away from the boy and his partner to approach the instructor. He gave the meadow a cursory look trying to locate the man who had handed him the scroll earlier. Eventually he noticed him standing over talking to one of the other students. He walked over hesitantly at first but then gained in confidence. He bowed to Shiru, “Sensei I have finished the handsign lesson and am ready to move on to the target practice.” He waited patiently for the man to respond to him.
