The Program
The New Oto academy is a place far more focused and strict than it's predecessor, the Otobe's focus on strength and perfection no more obvious anywhere else in the village. They push the students to excel, while also attempting to drill in the Otobe's teaching from a young age, leaving no room for those who resist said teachings. The Otobe Clan themselves are taught in special classes, though do not make the mistake of thinking they are afforded special treatment.
The Otobe may have their problems, but they are even harder on themselves then they are on others, pushing their own students even more harshly then the rest. On occasion the separate classes train in exercises together, a student from the Otobe class always put as the leader of the three person squad consisting to two students from the other classes. This is to prepare them for the future, for it has become accustomed that almost all teams will be assigned as such. Two regular students, with an Otobe to lead the pair and keep them in line.
The Teacher's here are often members of the secret police, and children who fall behind in the curriculum are not handled lightly...
All in all the cold grey hallways and classrooms of the building are not a very cheery learning enviroment, but the shinobi who emerge from these halls are all the harder because of it, ready to fight and serve their village to the best of their ability.

 Urza found her way to what appeared to be the academic building for this village. Everything about it seemed dreary and gloomy. The sound of steel against the the floor seemed to bounce off every wall in a haunting cacophony of sounds. Could this really be the school? Urza thought to herself as she passed door after door. She arrived at what appeared to her to be the fist year classroom. Opening the door she saw that even the learning environmental status was as depressing as the hallways. The gloominess of the situation was only intensified by that fact that she had absolutely no idea what to expect from the day. In the back of her mind however Urza knew that its was going to be hard. Harder than anything she had ever faced before hand. This wasn't going to be simply doing push-ups and running. So as Urza took her seat she crossed her arms across her chest, praying to The God of Earth to help her keep her strength through out the day.

 Alucard Loung Witsun
Hp: 8, Cp: 2, MHp: 11 As Alucard made his way from the building of the kage, he had kept smiling as he was glad to find a new piece of heaven. Smiling a lot, Alucard smile went away quickly, as he had seen the look of the school. Checking the map about 20 times he spoke in his own native tongue, "this the place?" he asked allowed to himself, as his, language was obviously foreign but he didnt have a care if it was or wasn't. Speaking in the same language, "well might as well go in," saying as Alucard slowly opened the door, the creaking of the echoed in the hallways. He was entering the building a few minutes after Urza had went into the building. Not knowing anyone else was in the building he seemed a bit glum as he hoped he didn't miss his first class. As he hoped he didnt miss the class thoughts ran through his mind as he thought the building was better than what he used to live in. Alucard also thought of things had happened to him as he walked slowly into a hallway.

The classroom prepared for the new arrivals was a chamber that looked more like a room prepped for a milatary briefing then a classroom, though it did appear as though effort had been put forth into making the desks comfortable. The chalk board along the far wall was blank save the words "Sit down and wait" and the few students that had arrived thus far had heeded said instruction with slight trepidation. The Otobe, as driven as they were to do their duty, were not known for doing things half way, and becoming a warrior was one of the things they took the most seriously. There was no telling what sort of people they might get to TEACH at this academy, let alone what trials they would put the through. The silence was tense...save the rather boastful words coming from the back of the room.  "HAH! These guys have no idea who they're about to have to teach! A top kinda guy like me will be in an out of this academy in a day!! I'll breeze through this program like nobodies business! I'll probably be able to teach this teacher a thing our two! AHAHAHAHA!!" A boy was standing on top of his desk declaring, rather heatedly, to the people around him, who looked skeptical if nothing else, at his rather boastful words.  Another boy, sitting next to the rather... energetic, student, looked as though he might want someone to throw a Kunai at him just to end his torment. He groaned. "Urgh...really...? Why'd I have to get sat next to the enthusiastic guy...? This is just my luck... why can't I ever get sat next to the pretty girls instead...? Ahhh, it's offical, I must have angered a spirit when I was younger...or...maybe I was born under an unlucky star...yeah, that's gotta be it!" the boy razzled his own hair as though everything in his life had repeated disappointed him on at least some mild level.  "Um..." a rather mellow, practically blank faced girl sitting next to the bored looking young man started to say something, interupt his external monologue and inform him that SHE was a girl, but she seemed to think better on the matter, instead giving a slight shrug to herself and turning her attention back to the loud spectacle that was the boy still declaring his superiority. She wondered if maybe he'd had too much coffee before coming to class or something...even she, who had a good reason to be here, wasn't really THAT motivated...then again, she WAS a Maboroshi, and they didn't tend to get very motivated about much of anything. Her almost in born mellow attitude turned back her attention to the front of the room, awaiting any new students that looked to be still arriving...

Alucard Loung Witsun
Hp: 8, Cp: 2, MHp: 11 Placing things away slowly he smiled again as he had heard someone yelling, as he was slowly walking down a hallway. Turning around slowly he walked slowly towards the room that the voice had come from. As he had gotten lost again. Walking into the room slowly, he seemed collected, but a bit dirty from his travels. After entering the room he had walked slowly over to a seat. The only thoughts going through Alucard's mind was, 'hope i am not late and what is going on with the screaming,' he thought as he had sat alone at a empty desk near the front. Even though he was very tall for his age and seemed older in looks, he still acted like a kid to some degree of level because of his background had changed him a lot.

 So these would be her fellow students huh? Urza kept a stern face she noted each one in her mind. The loud one would be easy to recognized at any given moment, and Urza was surprised that she hadn't heard him coming a mile away. Another boy, whom looked about as excited to be next to the loud mouthed one as he would to have stepped into a bath full of cockroaches. A girl, who seemed about as enthusiastic as watching paint dry. It was odd how personality transcended boarders, as Urza was sure if she had attend class in her homeland she would have been met with the same array of way word students. Still... Urza had no desire to draw attention to herself, exponentially more so not to this crowd. Another student arrived in the classroom, he looked about as comfortable to be there as she did.❦━━━━━━━━━❧

 "Hey idiot," pleaded another of the students. "Would you mind toning it down? Who the heck do you think you are?" This was the wrong question to ask. "HA! You don't know who I am? What, been living under a rock or something?! A big guy like me is known and feared in every dirty nook and cranny of the Hidden sound!" "Oh," said the rather blase' looking boy "So you got the job as a janitor after all then." Laughter echoed through some of the other students as the loud boy seemed immediately offended. "HA! You think you're a pretty tough guy huh! I'll show you tough! Hear my name and tremble! For I am the mighty and invincible Yokijo!!!!" The rather annoyed boy gave a rather sarcastic round of soft unenthusiastic clapping. "Wow. Amazing. Incredible. Look at me shake. Do you see this? Truly this is the face of terror." He looked more like he'd just rolled out of bed. "ARGH! And what's your name hot shot!!" "I only give out my name to pretty girls, sorry." the boy informed immediately ingoring the boy and looking off in another direction. "Wh-wha! HEY DOn"T IGNORE ME! I'll-"  "You'll what?" the voice that cut across the class room was in a slight undertone, but somehow it managed to bring almost immediately silence as the figure standing in the door way slowly enter the class room, his eyes narrowed and his expression looking rather unimpressed."Uh-..." Yokijo seemed to deflate slightly under the man's gaze. "I...uh..."
"Sit down...now." the iron in the man's tone seemed to bring the boy into his seat with the mere weight of his words, his eyes as hard as steel. The man slowly turned his gaze across the class room. "Hn...you, with the look like you got smacked with a stick when you were kid, can you read?""S-sir...?" "Can you read you brainless excuse for a pre-teen!" the man said with a firmer tone."U-uh...yes!"
"Yes what?!""Yes...sensei?"
"Well, well," the blonde man seemed to sink back into a more mild expression. "So at least you all seem to have some manners drilled into your heads... you will ALL address me as Sensei while in this class...am I understood?""Yes Sensei." came the rough reply from the students. The man nodded. "Now... back to my question..." he looked back to the boy who had answered. "If you can read..." he pointed to the board. "Then why didn't you fill in the member of your class who apparently couldn't?""H-hey! I can read!" Yokijo cut in, before immediately regretting it.
"I SEE." The man stated with a skeptical manner. "So is what your telling me is that you just chose to ignore an order, is that right?" his voice sounded...dangerous."W-wha? No...I mean..."
"Well which is it boy?!" the man urged with a tense glare."I..." the boy seemed to quail under the teacher's stare. "I...just didn't see it." he tried.
"OH!" The man said with a rather sarcastic shrug "I SEE, so you're just inattentive, not illiterate, well hallelujah, at least I know I won't have to bust out the ABC's." the boy flinched slightly, but the teacher continued, looking back to the boy who he'd been asking question of. "But that doesn't answer me...why didn't you inform you fellow student he was out of order?"The boy stuck up his nose. "Tcht...it wasn't my problem if he wanted to make a fool out of himself..."
"Wrong answer!" the man slammed his hand down on the desk, causing many in the class to jump slightly. "If another of your fellow shinobi is at a disadvantage it is ALWAYS your problem. If a member of this village is in danger, it's ALWAYS your problem. Don't give me that self important CRAP of a reply in MY classroom again or so help me I'll have you doing training drills until your face turns blue! Do I make myself perfectly clear!!?" he looked at the class in general. His eyes casting from one side of the room to the other, dead silence his confirmation. "I'm glad." he said with a calm demeanor once more. "Now," he leaned up against his desk. "Each of you stand and introduce yourself. And in case all of you are as brain dead as mister self important over here, it goes something like this." he gestured to himself. "Yuzuki Otobe. I'll be your teacher for your time here at the academy..." he pointed to the first student to his right. "Now, you next."((Introduce yourself wink ))

Alucard Loung Witsun
Hp: 8, Cp: 2, MHp: 11 Chuckling softly, before the teacher had come into the room, Alucard thought this bunch of people were interesting especially since he had not been around others his age much. Seeing the teacher come in, Alucard had straitened up and sat there silently as he watched the teacher straiten out the obnoxious, loud boy. 'Well things will be interestin,' he thought as he saw the teacher point to him. Standing slowly up, he gueatured to himself like the teacher had done after he stood up slowly. Standing taller than most, he spoke with his heavy accent, "I am Alucard Loung Witsun, I will be here next while of learning, hoping to pass" he said as he missed several words, when he spoke. It was obvious that he had not gotten all the words down, but it was clear he was ready to learn as his eyes had shown it. Alucard sat down slowly he kept his face calm, as he waited for the next person to address them self he was banking on the thought that people would not point and laugh at him, but as he thought of the teacher and how strict he was, he figured that the teacher would keep everyone calm.

Well well well... It seemed that the teachers matched the decorum. Urza smiled a bit to herself as the man scolded the boys, the loud on for not listening to orders, and the other for not being a team player. She was surprised when the rest of the class wasn't scolded for not helping eaith, what the teacher said struck a chord in Urza... She would be their shield. Urza stood as Alucard finished his introduction. It was clear he was also not from this part of the world, though while Urza stood out in looks, he stood out in speech. It certainly was a plethora of people gathered here today. Urza rested her hand over her heart and gave a slight bow in her head before speaking. "I am Urza Melinora," The young girl lowered her hand and raised her head before continuing, "I am here to learn to be your shield." Urza crossed her arms and bowed once more,"May God watch over us all" Urza's face, which had been stern and proud the entire time she had been talking, softened as she sat down, Well... At least I avoided making a fool of myself.❦━━━━━━━━━❧ Hp: 10/10 MHp: 9/9 Cp: 2/2 ❧━━━━━━━━━❦

Yuzuki gave nods at each introduction in turn, lifting a brow slightly as he got to Alucard. He lifted a brow ever so slightly, giving a small slanted grin at his statement that he'd like to pass. 'A west lander, then.' he slipped his hands into his pockets. 'Interesting...' it wasn't often that he'd seen a Westlander since he and his clan had left to return to here to the nations. His eyes were drawn just as quickly to the girl clad in armor.
She had, quite obviously, drawn the eyes of the others just as much as the boy with the strong accent, even more so as she stood up and began her own introduction. As soon as the words finished from the girl's mouth, "learn to be your shield" Yuzuki gave an actually bemused, impressed, and improving smile, all in one as he tilted his head up slightly in approval.
"Heh," he continued to give his rather slanted smile. "Well said Miss Melinora. There may be some among you here who aren't completely hopeless." the statement was said with a tone of chuckle underneath his steel voice, his positive appraisal clear. He turned to the next student up to bat, looking indifferent once more. "Alright, you next.""FINALLY!" Yokijo jumped to his feet as he raised a hand in the air as though declaring himself to the heavens. "I'm Yokijo Yojimbo! Remember it! Cause I'm going to be a big time ninja like no one's ever seen! All the rest of you guys should feel lucky to even be breathing my air! I'll be the top of this class no problem!!" The class seemed to slowly shift their gaze to the teacher, as though expecting him to lose his temper again, but on the contrary, the man was actually smirking.
"Heh," Yuzuki was lifting an eyebrow at the kid, his smirk almost approving. "I like your enthusiasm kid. Try not to do anything stupid and you and I might actually get along." a slightly menacing addendum seemed to accompany this compliment. "Why I'll just bet a "big guy" like you could handle...my advanced training." the word's advanced training, and the normally stoic man's apparent joy at speaking off it, sent chills down the students collective spines.Even Yokijo had enough sense to sit back down and give a slightly awkward laugh. "Eh...heh...well, I uh...don't wanna make all the rest of these guy's feel left out or anything...heh...heh..." he sweat slightly in his seat. Yuzuki seemed to lose his own enthusiasm at this statement, falling neutral again. "Too bad." he shifted his gaze to the next boy. "Alright then...you next."The rather aggravated looking boy slowly stood up, looking rather frazzled at having to bother. "Argh...I'm Mido Kato. Nice to meet you." he seemed to sweep his eyes about the room, actually looking cheered for the first time. "Especially you, and you...and you..." he seemed to be picking out the more attractive girl's in the bunch. "Aaaaand..." his eyes landed on Urza and he winked. "you. A girl in armor huh? That's pretty hot."
"Not as hot as your going to be if you bring hormones into my class room kid." Yuzuki stated flatly, his breath actually catching fire in a brief flicker, his ability with fire Ninjutsu making itself known."Uh...right...sorry teach." a chill ran down his spine as Yuzuki sent him a glare. "Uh...Sensei...sir, sama, lord, captian, sir." he sat back down looking dejected. "Tcht," he whispered loud enough for nearby people to hear. "Freaking heartless killjoy." Though Yuzuki was an Otobe, and undoubtedly had heard the boy, he seemed to actually enjoy being called "heartless", and the idea of being a "killjoy" seemed to brighten his day, bringing a content smirk to his face.
"Alright...last but, after the pathetic excuses I've seen hopefully not least..." he pointed to the rather mellow looking girl in the corner next to Mido."Hm?" the girl managed to look as though she hadn't been paying attention to the events that had taken place since the introduction started, looking around plain faced. "Introduce yourself, girl. You can zone out when you're dead." he seemed to gain a slightly comic sadistic gleam in his eye saying in an undertone "Which given my training methods might be soon, so don't worry about it." causing some in the class room to sweat.The girl didn't seem all that intimidated, slowly getting to her feet, clearly in no particular hurry, as she faced straight ahead. "Hm...My name is Kina...Kina Maboroshi." the name seemed to immediately draw every eye in the class room from the Otogakure natives, surprise clearly etched into their faces. "Maboroshi..." Yuzuki said with a slightly icy tone, recognition entering his face. "I see." The girl didn't seem to care too much about the reaction. "My reason for becoming a Ninja is so I can hunt down Xenon Maboroshi." this seemed to draw looks of shock from every single soul in the room outside the foreigners, Yuzuki himself included. "WHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!???" Yokijo stood up, pointing with a look of shock. "Holy crap! Now I know where I've heard that name! That guy's the Nightmare of Oto! The Genjutsu master of Team Four, right?! He's like, a super badass missing nin and stuff! he killed like, a thousand guys during the reclamation!" Yuzuki flinched slightly...he had been one of the one's assigned to sweep the village after the reclamation, and one of the first one's to come across the main streets. To think a kid could do something like that... the only survivor had been half gibbering mad... the Nightmare of Oto indeed... "It was actually more like 65..." Kina corrected with a shrug. " AWESOME!!" he seemed to have immediately raised this girl in his books to near the top...below himself naturally. "So, are you like, his little sister out for revenge or something!?" "Well...we're cousins, I guess..." Yokijo looked ecstatic "Are you gonna like, hunt him down with the power of vengance and crush him with awesome Jutsu!!" "Uh..." Kina looked rather mellowly taken aback. "No." "Oh! I got it! You're gonna bring him back and make him face EPIC justice!!" "Nope. Not that either." "OH OH! Then you're going to try and reform him to the way of light and make him rejoin the Hidden Sound!" Kina shook her head. "Nuh-uh." "Then what ARE you going to do?!?!" Yokijo looked ready to fall out of his seat with anticipation. Kina blinked. "I need to ask him something." The tension that had hung in the air turned to slight exasperation. "Y-you...wanna ask him something...?" "Yep." Kina confirmed sounding rather casual about the matter, as though they were discussing the weather. "That's...that's it!?" "That's it." the girl confirmed picking at a what appeared to be a bit of dirt ground into the top of her desk absently. Yokijo slumped in his seat looking disappointed.
Yuzuki however was silent for a few moments, saying nothing as he seemed to take this information in. "Hmmm..." he seemed to ponder over something for a moment. "Heh..." his face split into a slanted smirk again, his approval back on his face. "Well well, what a shock I actually like you brats...we might be able to make ninja out of some of you yet." he stood at attention. "Alright then, now that that's out of the way...can anyone here tell me..." he pointed at them all. "What does it mean to be a ninja!!?"
((This first question is just to break up my post time and give you some time to react and give some input. 3nodding I'll be off for a little bit but probably back in an hour or so.))

Alucard Loung Witsun
Hp: 8, Cp: 2, MHp: 11 Listening to the names, Alucard eyed Urza seeing the armor as he was interested about the armor. As he looked the armor up and down he was trying to think if he had seen a suit similar to it before because of the underground world he was forced to work in. As Alucard spaced off, he only came back to senses when the teacher snapped at Yakijo, or loud mouth as he was starting to think of him as. Shrugging softly, he didn't mind the idea of extra hard training. He figured it would put him that much closer to getting him going as a ninja. After thinking a bit, he had smiled softly after leaning back slowly, as his stomach had growled a bit loud in the class room as people were introducing themselves. Hearing Mido introduce himself, Alucard smiled as he was chuckling softly, as he didnt know what to expect from a class room, and to him this was the liveliest he had ever seen a place. Aside from the inside of bars, casino0's and various other paces that had underground networks. When the last person mention her name, Kina, he didnt know what to do, for he never heard of the last name obviously as Alucard was a foreigner and just arrived there that day. From meeting the kage, to hearing of something that was very famous, he started to repeat what was being said in his head, as he was trying to memorize things already, and to memorize the names of his classmates. Muttering as soft as he could in his own language, he was saying the names of each person he had heard that he figured were important, "Yuzuki sensei, Yokji Yojimbo, Mido Kato, Kina Maboroshi, and Urza Melinora," he went on repeating the names in a mumble, he smiled a lot as he was trying to find his new place in this small group of people. Hearing the Sensei ask what a ninja was, Alucard slowly raised his hand, as he had remembered some of what the kage said that morning.

Urza breathed a sigh of release as she heard a chuckle emanate from Yuzuki as he complemented her. It was good to know that she had made a good first impression. Hopefully she would be able to back up her words when push came to shove. She was almost shocked, almost, when Yokijo jumped into the air hooting and hollering. His arrogance was clear, but he was quickly put into place by Yuzuki. It seemed everyone feared the training that awaited them, and for every person that feared it, Urza’s felt 10 times more excited to get started. It was clear to Urza there was no upper hand to be had in this class. It was a rather nice feeling.
The next student seemed like just introducing himself was something that he did not want to do. That was until he looked around the class and started pointing out women that he found attractive. He ended with his eyes on Urza, and gave her a bit of a wink. Urza responded by staring him down with a straight face and unmoved features. Everyone had their outlets, Yokijo was bravado, for this Mido it seemed to be womanizing, Urza’s was faith. She wondered what would prove to be everyone’s downfall, and with that how would she be able to protect them. Once more Yuzuki shut down Mido’s shenanigans and continued the introductions.
The lazy girl was next. Kina was her name. And something about her last name got everyone all riled up. Yokijo was being his spastic self, asking the girl a million and a half questions. Urza didn’t understand the point. It sounded like a family matter so did it really matter what she was planning to do. What an odd way to live. Urza rested her hand in her head as the conversation went back and forth between the two students. Were these really the people she was going to put down her life to protect? No. Urza’s demeanor adjusted. It was not just these people. It was these people she would be fighting alongside, and she would put her life on the line for them, but it was the people of this village that she gave her life. To be the armor for the heart of the people, and who knows, perhaps she would grow to become fond of the wayward hearts.
Yukuzi asked the students what it meant to be a ninja. Urza didn't have the slightest idea. She knew what it meant to be a soldier, and she knew what it meant to be a Knight. She knew what the kage thought it meant to be a ninja... Perhaps it was all the same philosophy. Urza had stepped out on the right foot. Perhaps if she answered this correctly too it would secure in her own mind that one did not have to be a child of the east to compete in this world. She noticed the other westerner raise his hand and decided to do the same. After all, her answer was true to her, whether it was right or wrong was irrelevant in her eyes.

Many hands rose into the air, and even at this, Yuzuki seemed to have gotten the reaction that he wanted. "My...so many hands..." he folded his arms in front of him giving them a slightly meaningful expression. "Tell me...look around you...do you think that every single one of you has the same answer...?"
Many of the students seemed to look around for a moment, confusion on a few of the faces as they seemed to ponder what he could be referring to."No, of course not." Kina hadn't even bothered to raise her hand, her rather passive expression looking at their Sensei as though she saw through something the rest didn't. "What it means to be a Shinobi is subjective...there's no single answer..." Yuzuki gave a quirk of grin. "Hm...I suppose what they say about you Maboroshi's and your logic wired minds is true. Yes. That's right, Miss Maboroshi." he turned his gaze across each of them in turn as he began to pace slowly at the front of the room. "What it means to be a Ninja...what it means to be a Shinobi... each and every one of you probably has an answer. A belief in what it represents." he seemed to focus on those that had raised their hands. "Every one of you who raised your hands...whatever your answer is...remember it. Even if a time comes when your belief changes and you see it through different eyes, remember what you once thought it to be, here, now." he stood straight backed, looking instead over to the hidden Sound flag that adorned the wall, one of the few decorations the room had. "Because whether it's someone who never gives up..." he turned to Yokijo "Whether it's someone who is just trying to do their job and get through life..." his eyes passed over Mido "whether it's someone...who doesn't believe in Ninja at all..." his eyes fell to Kina. "Or maybe even someone like me..." he seemed to cast his eyes towards Urza "Who believes that a Shinobi is someone who is willing to give themselves entirely to protecting and serving their home and the innocent people that share it with them..." he turned his gaze towards Alucard "Maybe...maybe your not even sure yourself WHAT a ninja is...maybe you've only heard an idea of what it COULD be... and want to believe it's true." he fell stern faced, conviction in his eyes. "Remember it. Hold it in you. Because a person's definition of what it means to be a shinobi, the way they choose to fulfill the role, that is a person's Nindo... it is what you, regardless of what I teach you, will strive to shape yourself into should you become a shinobi...it is the path you will walk whether you are conscious of it or not." he once more scanned his gaze across them all.
"There are people in this world who will try to belittle you...they will try to tell you that because you're not an Otobe, or that because you are a member of the hidden sound, you're not as strong as they are..." he gestured a hand into the air. "But I'm going to tell you right now that's a bunch of crap. And I won't have any of my students buying into it. The only truth you need is in that raised hand of yours... and with my help you'll have the strength to show it to anyone and everyone who tries to push theirs down your throat." he pounded his own chest. "As a member of the Otobe clan, I know well the belief that in the passed many people saw us as Oto's answer to the Kohnoha's Uchiha...that we grew too proud for our own good and that was why we began to believe that we were chosen to protect and guide others..." he narrowed his eyes. "But there's one difference between my clan and the Uchiha... we don't just THINK we're the best...we try our damned hardest everyday to be worthy of that title! We give everything we have into our training and our pursuits...and let me tell you that even with all that we still can lose...we can still be beaten." he gestured to his students. "So whatever you may hear from the my fellow clan mate's who disagree with our Kage's methods, I can tell you that if you work hard, if you take whatever truth that drives you and hone within you, not only will be just as good as any Otobe in this village, you...will be someone I am proud to call a Ninja of this village."
Many of the students were silent now, hands lowering one by one.
"So..." Yuzuki said with what seemed to be his commonly used slanted smile. "That said... let's get started. I'm gonna drive you kids into the dirt...but I promise you that you'll be ninja's when I'm done with you...provided you don't give in." he seemed to pause for a moment. "Or die." he added, just to cover his bases, some of the conviction that had come alive in the students fading. "Now then... Just to kick things and give you kids a chance to get to know one another..." he began as though he was going to be giving them a chance to chat amongst themselves. "You will run ten times around the academy."
"Wh-what?! But this place is huge!"
"well then you'd better get started, don't worry, with all of you helping each other out it should be a breeze. Oh...and if you fall down you have to redo the lap. And before you ask... I WILL know." he gave a slightly sadistic gleam in his eyes again. "Well, off you go. I want you all back here shortly...take too long and I'll come collect you..." silence "you don't want that." Many of the students began scrambling for the door...First chance to bond! Students run for your lives!Choose between Con or Dex and train for ten successes, with all your class mate's doing it with you, you get a whopping +4 to you're roll! (one for each named NPC as well as the other PC.) (( confused Choose which ever one you want to build, running could work for either really. This is just a chance for you to get some easy training in and give a chance to talk with the other Class mates and PC. We'll do Hand signs when you're done.))

 Alucard Loung Witsun
Hp: 8, Cp: 2, MHp: 11 (13+dex+4 = 13+2+4=19 vs 12 succeed. 1/10) After slowly lowering his hand, he listened carefully as he tried to memorize things that went through his ears. His memorization was never the best, but it still was very good compared to some of the people that he has met before. As he looked at the sensei Alucard smiled as the running with people sounded better than what he used to do. 'This will be more interesting than running on my own,' he had thought to himself as he was smiling softly as he did not think the building was that big, that others seemed to make it sound like.Alucard also thought who to run next to as he had sat there after the sensei said for them all to run. After a few moments he had started to get up, and take off his tie slowly as he figured the other students would learn soon enough of his tattoo so he figured might as well later today. As he had taken his tie off he placed it on his chair. After taking off his tie off and he had folded it and set it down Alucard started to do the same thing with his coat. It seemed like he was planning on not letting his current clothes, except his pants and shoes, get dirtier than what they already were. He figured it would also alleviate stress for himself. Alucard made sure his coat and tie was nicely and neatly folded as if he was going to hand them to someone else to wear. After he had taken his coat off he picked his tie and coat up and placed it under his arms as he headed towards the door since they were all ordered to go outside. After Alucard could feel the sun on his face again, he had set his clothes in a pile on a bench that was outside the school. After doing so he did the same set up of undoing his shirt and folding it up very neatly and placing it on top of his other clothes before the others started to run. As his shirt came off a tattoo of his past had shown that was very large on his back. As he had begun running with some of the other students he had remained quiet and calm, as he didn't want to try and scare anyone, or get many looks. Knowing he was getting many looks his body seemed physically fit, with a lack of some strength in his upper body. Aside from the lack of strength he seemed fairly agile as he had started off running rather easily, and calmly with a few of the others that were a bit faster also. The reason behind removing the shirt and coat was that he figured it would only cause him problems while running.
