Open Training Day! : Welcome to The Normal Academy

[Midori Futotta]

Today was just another day in the Aurora Eruditio. Hadn't been much of a busy day compared to most days where he was forced into teaching, mostly because it cuts into his research time. Now it seemed like he'd have the whole day to research and enjoy himself with nothing else to do. Maru's Youkai LOUD, a purple footless cyclops with hair fashion to look like horns, used a feather duster to clean the top of a bookshelf that sat near her master's desk. Meanwhile, Maru himself was conducting his research by looking at a nudie fox girl magazine which had "Busty Kimono Wearing Escort" theme to it. It almost made sense that he'd be looking at something like that considering he was a fox demon, he definitely had the animal ears and the nine white tails that wagged behind him as he looked at his dirty magazine drooling.

"Heh. Heh. Heh! These models just keep looking better and better each time I look at a Foxy Nine-Tails magazine." the perverted fox man chuckled, eyes glued to his magazine as his purple Youkai dusted away seemingly ignoring Maru's remarks on his research. But this peace would soon be over when work drop kicks him in the face… Almost a few minutes of silence before Maru's second youkai Oof, a masked spirit who could easily be mistaken for a Youkai barge into Maru's office waving around it's arms like a lunatic screaming in a high pitched voice at the grinning headmaster. "Supreme Commander! Supreme Commander! Please look up, it's urgent!" said Oof which got the cyclops that was dusting to turn around and Maru to lower his magazine then give the small Youkai a mean look.

"Did our school mascot attempt to devour a child's liver again?" Maru asked, hoping that it was a life or death considering his research was just interrupted.

"There's a newly enrolled Academy Student who'd probably would like to meet the Headmaster to answer a few questions." said Oof, hoping that the idea of a new student would interest it's master ignoring the fact that the office door was open.

"Than send it away, tell it to go… train in the obstacle course or something." Maru shooed his Youkai away but it wasn't having any of that.

"B-but Supreme Commander! As Headmaster of this academy it is your duty to meet with new students to explain our teaching system as well as provide a list of available courses!" Oof was flabbergasted by the laziness of the fox. He really didn't think that he'll just sit around all day looking at porno while LOUD and itself was doing more work than he was!

"Than why don't YOU do it. What am I paying for, to tell me how I should do my job!" Maru shouted back, however upon mentioning payment the purple floating cyclops Maru was using for a made put her hands on her hips than gave the fox a glare. Feeling the glare on him, that's when Maru knew that he messed up… Royally...

"Speaking of payment, I don't remember getting anything for cleaning his office, getting you food, and your magazines you keep stashed away in your tails." LOUD said calmly, the Youkai looking a bit irritated. Eventually this spiralled into a screaming match between the Headmaster and his two Youkai companion's. A dark vapor like cloud of dark energy leaking out of the open office door as the screaming continued, seems pretty normal so far isn't it?

={:★:}= Yün streamed forward up the hallway quizzically, seeking the headmasters office of the Aurora Euroditio. His hopes were set high for his first day at the academy, his mind focused on accomplishing his first task as a initiate into the Shinobi Militia, with his excitement cycloning within his stomach, streaming through his conorary arteries, and blitzing eccentricity in the centre of his mind. Singularity, he hoped on being fulfilled and enlightened on the process for new found students, such as himself, in being enrolled into the academy. Alternatively, he hoped to know the classes he would be taking for his first semester at the Cloud's Shinobi Academy; Aurora Eruditio. Lastly, Yun's mind wanted to learn how to utilized the aforementioned abilities of a ninja which he knew of from his father and clan of the Storm. His first step towards the Academy was the high stride in being kinected with the source of the Heavenly Sage he'd hear his father, Arashiyama, speak in vivid tale when he was journeying with him as a child.

={:★:}= He trailed up the stairs, glancing downwards at a piece of parchment whic theh was given to him by the registry, inside of the pagoda like academy, near the entrance. 'Floor Two: Third Door', the note read, giving Yün the clue on where to be. As he trailed up the stairs into completion, he remember what the receptionist at the desk said'When you make to her office, knock lightly and await for someone to open, the door. There Headmaster Maru will be able to assist you to getting enrolled. I hope you enjoy your stay.' She had a bright smile and an irradiant glow of eeriness which Yün could feel as if there was purple tentacles streaming out from the bottom of her chair, lashing viserantly. In innocence, he could feel the receptionist deception in her smile, yet saught beyond her to find the room she enlightened him of.

={:★:}= As he made it up the stairs, he walked down the dark hallway, the lights reacted and glowed above whilst hearing a commotion of three loud individuals. Listening in, he tried to uncover the voice of them, so he may know who they were upon entering the Headmaster's office. One spoke in superiority of the other as a voice of an elegant male spoke up commanding it's subordinate about work without pay, the third complaining about the same thing. 'How harsh the Headmaster must be, ' thought Yün. 'I hope this will be less troublesome. Id like to be training my skills right away.' he progressed persistently. Maybe the head Master guides in the right direction...

={:★:}= Finally he made it to the door, where he stuffed the little parchement in his left pocket with his left hand, both hands being wrapped in gold medical bandages up until his forearms. He towore a white silk mask over his face, also being covered with golden medical bandages, up until the clavicle of his neck; a present he received from his father, Arashiyama. His darkened skin is covered in golden fishnets stranding below his neck towards the tips of his fingers and toes. Over the fishnets is a singlet shirt hanging below his waist towards the middle of his calves which is decaled akin the universe, tonalized in the radiance of ultramarine blue, violet and indigo, speckled with nebulas stars and galaxies. The embezzled white yukata is lined in the embroidery of silver and gold tasseaus, whirls of clouds upon the top towards the shoulders and chest, flashing goldenrod lightning bolts on top of streams of silvern winds raining towards the bottom of the ribcage, with washing ultramarine cerulean and azure blue waves tiding beneathe the waist line. A thick golden theaded and beaded golden sash in crystals, firmly holding the silken yukata, wrapped first with the right, before covering it's opposite layer with the left, fastening it's gentle fabric to his body. Around the sash, a large white, ultramarine violet, and golden rope, weaved securely circumferencing his waist, a bow drawn in frontier, the dual strands hanging loose beyond his knees, where the yukata stopped after his calves. Lastly, He also wore silver silken pants embossed with small jellyfish, under the Yukata, with high stranding white tabi over them, fasten to his calves.

={:★:}= Yün calmly fixed his silver hair, blitzing his hands over it frantically, spiking it it all directions, yet it appeared neat and styled. He took a deep breath and emptied his mind, raising his left hand and knocked on the door thrice gently, hoping to get the attention of the entities in the room to cease thier bickering. In silence, he awaited the the Headmaster, or two of his fellow comrades to open the door and let him in. Even with all of his excitement, he was able to contain what he was feeling to subside this epic moment of meeting with the Head master to choose his path and soon, his future ..

The arguing between the Headmaster and his two minions proceeded up until they heard something knocking on the door. Maru snapped his head towards the door, considering not answering as an option but since some Academy Student's are known to just barge in whenever they like Maru knew that it was unavoidable. Maru looked over at his Youkai whom he told to get rid of the student, using one of his nine tails to poke the demon on the stomach with each word. "This. Is. All. Your. Fault. Clown. Maru scream-yelled at Oof, raising pointing at the door as a gesture for his floating cyclops to open the door so he could get this thing over with. The cyclops moved towards the door, twisted the knob, than slowly opened the door releasing a vapor like energy of miasma along with the door being opened. Yün now was staring into the massive eye of one of Maru's Youkai servant blinked, giving the child a mischievous smile as it blocked the entrance refusing to let the child pass

"The Headmaster will see you now. Take off your shoes before you come in here. I just cleaned the place." commanded the demon, she did indeed like doing work but when someone just tramples over it that is what gets her mad. After the child fulfilled her request the door was open wide enough for the child to enter. Along with the other small Youkai that ran pass to collect some paperwork for the student to sign, the Headmaster was sitting at a black desk near the back of the office. Maru looked at the new student before him, his pornographic magazine set in front of him not even trying to hide it since… he's always seen with one around the academy anyway. His choice of clothing was more traditional and looked a lot more expensive than most shinobi would wear. He wore a splendid white kimono covered by a multi colored haori and a matching kimono shawl that hung from his shoulders. Though his clothing was similar to that of a Kabuki actor, his most notable traits was his eye mask that he keeps over his face at all times, nine tails laid lazily around the floor near his desk and his fox ears stood up to attention on the top of his head.

With a flick of his wrist, Maru made a paper fan appear in his hand to fan himself. "You must be the new guy, Yamamoto Maru, Maru for short, Mr. Normal but otherwise known as the Headmaster of Aurora Eruditio." he said, keeping the whole introduction brief. Maru snapped his paper fan shut then used it to point at an empty seat in front of him to offer the child a seat. "Here you can have a seat, also help yourself to some fruit I got from the ancient forest. They're pretty sweet, sweeter than any apple I tasted for sure if you ignore the laughter. You gotta name boy?" With that said, the cypolse brought a bowl of fruit that had faces of little babies. They looked at Yün then began to laugh as if he made the funniest joke ever, spitting their juices on him in the process. Whether he accepted or declined the fruit didn't matter. The smaller masked Youkai Oof handed Maru off a packet of paperwork in which the Headmaster took from his second servant to begin browsing through them. It was a lot.. A lot of work he needed to do to enroll just one student, looks like LOUD gots some more work to do. "There's a page in here I need you to sign before you start your ninja training, basically saying if anything happens to you we this Academy ain't responsible as well as getting your permission to learn through… non traditional means. I suppose you have some questions right?" he asked, not even bothering to take a glance up at him.

={:★:}= Upon the door opening, a cloud of smoke envelopes the hallway, obscuring Yün's vision. He could hear one of the familiar voices speak of removing his shoes so he immediately bowed, unlatching the small threaded hoops on the side of his high rise white tabi at the ankle, separating the padded shin guard. He quickly slipped out of his tabi by clenching his toes and lifting his heel, lifting his knee up, first the left then the right, dropping the back of the tabi to the floor, revealing very thin silver nylon footies socks which rounded just below his ankles. He then returned to his normal position, while slipping his shoes over his hands before the smoke cleared, in which he saw a small cycloptic Oni demon, watching him with one eye. Yün's ultramarine cerulean eyes opened wide and his iris minimalized, trying to refrain from bashing the monster in the face before letting him in. He calmly walked through the door, where he saw a fancy kimono wearing Kabuki actor siting on the desk, another daemon in the room tending to his needs. 'Well that uncovers the three voices., ' thought Yün. 'How disgusting must the Headmaster of the Academy be if he has a group of Oni doing his dirty work?' he asked in mind. 'Even as an Academy Student, I'll have to clean up this place and make the village of the Hidden Cloud a respectable village.'

={:★:}= The headmaster uncovered a paper fan, which he began fanning himself with before snapping it shut and pointing it at a chair in front of him and Yün. Yün saw it as an opportunity to rest after streaming up the stairs with rapidity, so he walked forwards removing the shoes from his hands, bowed down to place his tabi underneath the chair, returned standing to entered left and sat in the chair lightly, listening to the instruction of the Headmaster Yamamoto Maru. 'I wonder what kid of dragon is the Yamamoto Maru' Yün pondered. 'An interesting name, Indeed.' A bowl of fruit stratused by in which Yün ignored from the Oni. Even if they were sputtering up juices from thier beligerent laughter, he was used to the treatment by now. Happiness whereever he goes, laughter wherever he strolls, regardless, he knew he knew he was the one.

={:★:}= The Headmaster asked of his name, although he was more attuned to getting towards his journey. 'Can you explain what the stack of papers are and what they are for in detail?' Yün asked inquisitively. 'I have to know the stipulations before I am signing a contract with the Aurora Eruditio.' he said coyly. 'What is the history of this place, how did y become to be? How and why will they be training me to be a ninja of the academy, and most importantly, can I get a tour first instead of shoving papers at me and telling me to sign. Yün said proudly standing up for himself. He just didn't get the Headmaster's tactics of signing papers without explanation of the where he was at and why, other than false accountability of the students and learning through non traditional means. Such expression would entale the academy honestly didn't care about his learning as an academy Student or a civilian of their village. The same words made Yün think the Yamamoto was probably a daemon in disguise.

Though Yün ignored the cypolse offering fruit to him, the Youkai wasn't sure if this was a yes or a no thanks. It plucked one of the fruits out of the bowl then set it in front of him should he want it, then floated away to do something else until the old fox gave it another command. Maru looking through the packet of paperwork listened to the child, however instead of getting a name he got questions. Questions about the papers, the school, it's history, why he'd be training, even asked for a tour of the place before he signed anything. Maru scratched his head as he thought of a reply. "Damn, I expected a few questions but I didn't expect an interview. Maru complained, but he didn't know many children interested in the Academy's history much less be smart enough to not sign papers he didn't know anything about. "Alright, but I'll only say this once because some of what you're about to hear you aren't going to like. Now that I can assure you." he snickered, setting the packet down in front of him.

Maru flipped to a page that was most important to him, he turned the packet to the child then pointed at the page. "This page right here releases liability in any accident that happens from myself incase your parents wanna file a lawsuit if you like… die or something like that." Maru explained. "Also serves as a confirmation that you are a student as well as consent to some of the more non traditional learning methods if you happen to slip up. Of course, human experimentation is a bit dangerous but hey it's a free pass to gennin if you live. Though if you choose to for that to not be an option than if you fall short of mastering your gifts I'm gonna have to kick you out of here and ban you from using even the basic ninja techniques since us this Academy is kinda trying to control unregulated chakra use outside of the village yanno? That is until you do 10 E Rank missions in which that right will be given back and you'll be allowed to re-enroll." he chuckled, leaning back in his chair then rubbed his hands together. "Oh and you can forget about using justu anyway. The Anbu will enforce this so if you do use even so much as a transformation techniques you're off to the big house. That's the under prison if you didn't know."

He swiped the fruit that was sitting by the boy with his tail, allowing it to fall into his hand then Maru took a bite out of it. Quieting the laughter as he flipped the packet closed, speaking to the child while chewing. "The rest deals with basic info, who your parents are, where did you come from, shit like that with some program ads like our medical program and our Jr assassination class. Now about the history… he swallowed, then pointed at Yün. "The last headmaster before me was even worse because this place was like a death camp. Like… only 10% of their students actually survived. Heck being a Sensei here meant you had to see a lotta kids die, because 90% of them were either killed or killed themselves. Of course, that wasn't working out so I changed some of the rules… okay most of them to keep students from dying off. The deaths here now are pretty low. Mostly because I stopped the whole 'You be a shinobi or you die' rule cause don't think you'd fight for a village that'll allow that, would you?" he asked, waiting for the child to reply. He knew how angry his adoptive father was when hearing about another country and how they've been murdering children, plus a clan that he was funding is an entire group of Academy students. Maru couldn't save them all but it was better than how it was he could tell you that. "Let's just say.. I know first hand what a few angry Academy Student's can achieve. I know of a group in another country that almost toppled a government so I know we can't be killing them but I'll kick them out if I need to. Seems fair to me.

After the child got his bearings from the dark history this Academy had, Maru set the fruit down then clapped his hands. "So now that you know how screwed up this Academy was before us friendly demons got here let's go over why you are being trained Mkay!?" he snapped his fingers and his two demon helpers pushed a board in behind their Commander them they each got a piece of chalk then proceeded to scribble out diagrams and key words as Maru spoke. "As you know school is meant to prepare for ones challenges ahead and when you can manipulate chakra your problems will be a bit more… unique. So this Academy strives to teach you to use those gifts as well as to give you a doorway into your shinobi career. The majority of our lessons are lectures, physical training, and meditation so it's pretty normal for the most part and nothing you can't handle."

Maru figured that he explained enough so he flipped the packet back to the liability page then pointed at it, only this time with a bit more meaning. "Now you get your TOUR after you sign this page. Common now you don't want me walking around holding your hand and wearing a helmet now do you? I hope that's all?"

Spoiler: The Page

 

[Kuru Watashi]

We’d snuck our way to the door that had foiled me on my last expedition over. With this particular office vacant at the time, the door had been locked and sealed shut. Even with our makeshift bombs, me and that other senior Academy Student had no way of getting into this place. Now, however, there was supposedly a new Headmaster in place. And word ‘round these hallways was that he was meeting with a prospective student right now to get them to join.

It was the perfect time; there was no Assistant Headmaster and the only two people behind this unlocked door would be this newboy and the supposed old fart himself. A perfect chance for a strike mission, to show everyone in the academy who was still boss of this place.

I put my bicycle helmet on and latched it tightly in place. Giving a thumbs up to my partner-in-justice, I got ready to open the door. I was relying on him to pull off the distraction in any case, and trusted him enough that I figured he wasn’t going to make some dumb distraction that wouldn’t work.

Slowly counting down from three on my hand, I whipped open the door at one and ran in! With luck, the office would be setup like any other fatcat one. Desk at the back, owner of the office sitting furthest from the door and the guest would be seated closest to the door facing away from it. That was my target.

I balled my fist up as I ran in, getting ready to commence the hit on the target. Now to hope that Yuuto was having my back.

[ooc] testing out the first person thing

 

[Notamashi Yuuto]

A new headmaster... the thought was interesting; on the surface, incredibly boring - who cared about who the headmaster was? - but Yuuto was curious. What had happened to the old headmaster? Were they fired? Killed? Both? Who had been willing to step into their shoes? At least one of those questions would be answered by the end of the day.

Trailing behind his partner in crime, Yuuto quietly follows, adrenaline and anticipation humming in his veins. It had seemed like an eternity since the Notamashi boy had done anything like this, though it was arguably small in the grand scheme of things, and closer to home than most of his antics.

Yuuto gives a quizzical look towards Watashi putting on a bicycle helmet, before remembering that he was blind, and so wouldn't see it. About to speak aloud about how the helmet probably wouldn't do anything against a high ranking shinobi like the headmaster would presumably be, but the boy had already begun a silent countdown. Preparing himself, Yuuto's hands assumed a ready position, tensing as his anticipation bubbled and overflowed. Distraction, that's what his aim was. A well-planned genjutsu, something to scare the headmaster into submission...that should do the trick. Internally, a feeling of glee and approval that wasn't his own enters his mind.

One. Watashi burst forward, and Yuuto's hands were already moving, his chakra feeling for the headmaster whose face he had yet to process. The genjutsu completed just shortly before the boy had grasped who sat before him...

"Maru?" Yuuto cried in sheer disbelief. Too old to be a student, but that meant...
