Yet Another Class [Class / Open]

Takahashi Matsu · Jan 16, 2017

[col]Matsu walked into the school a few days after his last class with a few prospective students. Walking into his usual classroom he ushered out another teacher and students who were sitting around and learning. He grumbled when the teacher tried to argue with him. Eyeing the other teacher, Matsu narrowed his eyes and picked him up with one hand as he struggled and began to freak out. He tossed him out through the doorway and quickly the students followed. He sighed a bit and went to his closet, unlocking all the various locks and protections, before reaching in to get his chair. Carefully he set it behind the desk and kicked the other, worse chair out into the hallway. Afterward, he would lock the closet back up before going to sit in his chair. He was in his regular leathers and not his adventuring clothes. His body was still wrapped head to toe in various pieces of clothing, be it gloves and facial wraps. A hat sat gently upon his head. He would kick his feet up on top of the desk and remove a pencil from one of the drawers. This time his name would not be placed upon the chalkboard.

His chair was quite nice. It was made of some kind of redwood and seemed very fancy. Several students tried to steal it from time to time and most didn't end up getting to attend the academy anymore. His mind wandered as he closed his eyes and the students and teacher began to mill about. He did not know exactly what he wanted to do yet for today. He was quite terrible at it. Well, he was absolutely dreadful at it. But, for some reason, he kept having a handful of students keep coming back to him over and over again.

Arashi Hisame · Jan 16, 2017

Hoseki was ready for his first official class at the Academy, the structure of this academy was odd. Unlike other schools he was assigned to a single teacher in a single room for months, but rather the assignments were very fluid and seemed to change depending on which teachers were present that day. Nevertheless he was assigned a room and decided to take the class seriously.

The boy wore his normal blue long sleeve shirt with his white tee on top. His blue shorts were rather tattered but that was from his private studies. His silvery white hair was a mess, barely groomed at all. His crystal blue eyes were adorned with a feline esque eyeliner. This was his usual attire when it came to his ninja arts training.

Turning the corner the boy looked at a slip of paper he was given with the room number written down. As he did the ruckus in the hallway caught his attention, then a chair flew out of the room. A grin stretched on his face as he hoped this was his class. Looking at the paper one more time before matching it on the doorway Hoseki smiled and crumbled the paper into his pocket. This was it.

Turning into the class Hoseki realized he was the first student here. He looked at his sensei and he kinda resembled a savage mummy, regardless Hoseki played his hands together and bowed before taking his seat. He had studied under his grandfather for years and was accustomed to a certain ritual when it came to lessons of the ninja arts.

Kurai · Jan 17, 2017

Kurai's first class was something she didn't expect. Upon coming to the classroom she heard quite a bit of commotion causing her to back off a little while. Waiting in the corridor she watched as a teacher was effectively flung out of a classroom, grumbling to himself as he had to find another classroom to teach his students. It was not long before a chair followed suit which made Kurai have to jump out the way before entering the classroom.

Entering inside the classroom, Kurai looked around noticing that there were only 2 other people excluding herself. An academy student like herself, and the apparent teacher resting his feet upon the desk. Looking at the clock on the wall she realised that this class was about to start soon.

Walking to the her seat the red highlights of her black hair covered one of her icey blue eyes as she scanned for a place to sit. Opting for a seat to the right of the other student she looked at him for a moment before facing the front wondering what was going to be taught today.

Takahashi Matsu · Jan 22, 2017

[col][It was because other students deserve the chance to have a class taught. Your impatience is noted.]

Matsu watched as one student walked in then walked right out. Unfortunate. He made not of the face and general...whatever and waved his hand. The next time he taught, he would disallowed said student to attend were they to arrive until his following class. He hated when they refused to commit. Eyeing the other child, Matsu nodded and stood up. He would walk back to the closet with his chair in one hand before opening it and stashing the piece of furniture away. He would walk back to his desk and remove a few pieces of paper. He had various tests and identifiers as to what students may be looking for. Pulling out the one he wanted most, he stuffed the rest back into their drawers. He would move over to her desk and put it down with a pencil that he removed from a pocket. It was very simple. All it asked was for the students name, what food they liked most, what they liked least, to draw their favorite animal, and if they had any allergies.

He would nod and take a few steps back to his desk and lean against it, staring directly at her with his unnaturally red eyes. The sclera were black which seemed to be a trait that ran in parts of his family. He believed his cousin also had similar features. Sighing, he would wave his hand towards the door. "You are welcome to leave as well. However, note, as I am now teaching you alone, your training will become far more personal. Your...compatriot, be it by choice or not, however has decided for you that this class will be more difficult. I will be finding said student after class, however, and introducing them to what our cells look like." His face was hidden behind his mask, but if someone were astute enough they would notice that his face was far from a smile.

Kurai · Jan 23, 2017

Kurai's icey blue eyes just followed the boy who she situated herself near just leave the classroom. It in fact was quite a shock of what just happened, however the teacher didn't bundge, as if they didnt care whether the boy was in his class or not. His statement was something that didnt phase Kurai in the slightest. She needed to pass she needed to become a genin. It was the first step for her to find her mother again.

The sheet the teacher had given her was a fairly simple thing. Answering questions about herself; Name, Likes, Dislikes, Favourite animal, Allergies.

Filling out the sheet with the pencil the teacher had provided she had completed the sheet with the following answers.

Name: Kurai Tenshi
Likes: Taijutsu
Favourite food: Waffles
Dislikes: Isolation
Favourite Animal: Birds
Allergies: Failure

Upon finishing the sheet she returned both sheet and pencil back to the teacher. Her blue eyes looking at the teacher as she was walking towards him. Returning back to her seat she once again fixed her blue eyes upon the teacher, once more retuning to the sharp icey look she had one before.

Takahashi Matsu · Jan 23, 2017

[col]"I've never met someone allergic to failure. Is that similar to anaphylactic shock? That seems problematic. Good information though. That's my focus as well. I'm probably one of the better teachers for it, were I not such a terrible teacher..." Matsu's words somewhat rolled out of his mouth as he set the paper on his desk. Removing his keys he walked over to the door and closed it, locking it from the inside opposed to the outside. Interesting two way doors that couldn't be affected on one side if the other was locked down. It was part of why he liked this room as much as he did. "You don't follow instructions well, however. It told you to draw your favorite animal, not tell me what it was." Matsu sighed and drew his blade from its sheath. He looked at the child without any real care on his face. "I'm going to give you a 10 minute head start. You need to make it out of this room, to the Kazekage's home, then back again. All the while, you have to hope that I don't kill you." Matsu motioned with his free hand for the girl to begin as he looked up at the clock on the wall. 10 minutes from now, she would need to be elsewhere or she would be in grave danger as Matsu did not play around.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Everything will happen in this thread. Your next post should encompass what you do in those 10 minutes. There are windows on the wall opposite the door. Otherwise there is the now locked door, desks and seats, Matsu and his desk, and a closet.|

Kurai · Jan 28, 2017

Crazy. That was the first thing that came to the young girls mind when she watched him pull out a blade. She could only assume that it was because she didnt draw her favourite animal and simply stated what it was. Ten minutes was all she had before this man would come looking for her.

In a quick hurry Kurai jumped from her desk towards the open windows, leaping from them to the ground below making her way to the Kazekage's office. Thankfully the playground was not particularly fully giving her enough freedom to manoeuvre inbetween people doing their business.

The kazekage office was the tallest building in the underground village making it a easy place to locate however it was plastered right after a road that was notoriously famous for being extremely busy and guarded.

Whether or not Kurai made it she was determined not to die and the thrill of the hunt began to pump adrenaline through the course of her small body.

Just as she thought the street wound be jammed with people going about their daily lives, purchasing equipment for themselves, ninjas guarding shops to prevent shoplifters. This place was an excellent way to loose this man whilst he decided to play cat and mouse with her. She may of been the mouse, but she wasnt going to die easy.

Just like usual there was groups of kids running around the place, so her being there was not an odd sight, however she would need to attach herself to a group of them to let her have the freedom of movement without suspicion.

As the group neared the tower Kurai was getting a foreboding feeling that her teacher was right behind her. The closer she got the more she wanted to get to the tower. Eventually her impatience took over and she ran past the guards past the stands outside the kazekage building. Getting to the building she was looking around hoping that she had somehow been successful but she had this feeling that she was not.

Takahashi Matsu · Feb 1, 2017

[col]Matsu simply nodded as he tapped his foot upon the ground and the illusions shattered around him. Everything Kurai had believed that they accomplished, in fact, had not transpired. It was simply wishful thinking as Matsu wagged his finger in the air. His sword had not actually be drawn, but he was frowning with disapproval. The frown would go unnoticed due to his leather trappings, but it was there all the same. "Quite the imagination. Adorable, really. You should realize, even with wishful thinking, that it isn't so quick to get where you want to go. Especially for you, a child, with no real strength. It would take me that long, were I lucky." A wicked grin began to play upon his face as he sat back at his desk. His chair had never been put away and the door had never been locked.

He removed a few papers from his desk and sat them upon the top, removing a pen to begin writing. He scribbled some notes before lifting his gaze back to the student. "I too enjoy focusing on the physical arts. However, one must be aware of the world outside of them and the dangers it can bring. Like that Genjutsu that had you believe what you wanted to believe. You never left this room. You could have been trapped there forever were I malicious then you'd die of starvation as your mind thought you were home free. Are you aware of the dangers that the other arts bring to the table? Tell me of them." Matsu would wave his hand for the child to speak. He wished to hear what they knew and what they cared for of such things. This was, after all, a class in which one was to learn.

Kurai · Feb 12, 2017

The sudden realisation of being back into the classroom was something that took Kurai by surprise as well as slight annoyance. The child really believed that she had managed to complete the task of what she thought to be a maniacal man, who was would kill her if she did not manage to reach the kazekage tower in 10 minutes.

As he went back to his chair he proceeded to scribble something down stating he too enjoyed the physical arts of being a ninja, but he also knew that the other arts were extremely dangerous thus he asked Kurai if she even knew what they was. To be frank she didnt.

"I dont know."

Kurai was not amused in anyway at the stunt that was pulled, even more so than how confused she was, but that would not stop her from giving this man a piercing gaze.

ooc: sorry for the slooww reply had a some exams to deal with

Takahashi Matsu · Feb 23, 2017

[col]Matsu sighed as he sat where he was and waved his hand in the air. "I am sure you've actually read about it. You just experienced part of it. Tell me. For example, I come from a family line which are renowned for their artistry. My cousin is the...Steward. It feels better that way. Anyway, he crafts machines and metals while I perform art upon the body and through combat." Matsu would smile beneath his mask before lifting his hands up to remove what one would equate to a plague doctors mask. Beneath were another leather seal for mask that he removed and placed on the table. His head was completely bald, including his eyebrows, but it was covered in Runic Terran seals. He would wave his hand in her direction instead of waving it listlessly in the air. "I suggest you take your scorn elsewhere, child. I am the last one you wish to try that on. You are in no position to try and kill me. While that was a genjutsu to show you how feeble your efforts could be, I want you to understand that it was for your education. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't be trying to teach you right now."

Matsu would raise himself from his desk. He was far from the best when it came to projectiles, but the girl would suddenly find two knives lodged in her desk as if they had come from nowhere. The knives were quite different than standard kunai. These were intended to dig deep and rend as they were pulled out. Sport, if anything, and not practicality. "I suggest you begin educating me as to what you know. If you don't, then sadly, I will have to fail you. Too many failures and well..." Matsu would draw his thumb across his neck. To most this would signify death, but to him it simply meant another thing he had to do that really he didn't want to do. His goal was to be en educator not executioner. His spent his time, as a hobby, hunting. It was by no means something he wanted to do to a child if he could avoid it. All she had to do was talk. That would at least give him a baseline as to what he was working with and what it would mean in the long run.

Kurai · Mar 1, 2017

Tsk. Kurai took a deep breath and listened to what this man, her teacher had to say to her. While she dislikes what he did with the genjutsu, it showed that she was far from being able to be a competent ninja, let alone conpleting the think that mattered to her the most.

Kurai watched the man raise himself from the desk after removing his mask. He decided to instruct her once again what she knew about the ninja arts, or else he would have to fail her.

"Taijutsu. The physical art, this is where hand to hand combat takes place. There many taijutsu styles based off peoples strengths."

"Genjutsu." Kurai spat with slight distaste as she said this one. "The ninja art that takes advantage of peoples five senses that makes people believe illusions are reality."

"And finally ninjutsu, the most diverse ninja art that is comprised of 5 basic arts and multiple different natures that are comprised of the 2 or more of the 5 basic natures."

This was the limit to Kurai's knowledge about the ninja art and hoped this would be enough for her teacher to be satisfied with for now. She was hungry for more to learn more about the ninja world so she could be able to protect herself.

Takahashi Matsu · Mar 4, 2017

[col]"Better. You're expected to be a soldier. If you're asked a question by a superior, you answer it. You're a child now, but if you were an academy graduate I'd have taken one notch of a finger. I'd continue to do this until you lost your attitude." Matsu would pull his mask back up over his place and replace his plague doctor's mask. Her petulance was obnoxious at the very best of times. He would frown beneath his mask as he would turn to the white board behind him. Carefully he would create a series of diagrams. For Taijutsu, he would illustrate a variety of different techniques that included slashing, piercing, bludgeoning, unarmed, and so forth as well as some specialized taijutsu based on what he knew from some more...particular abilities. If she inquired, he would happily elaborate, but for now he refused. For Genjutsu he illustrated exactly what she described at it was also his weakest area of study. Finally, for Ninjutsu, Matsu would draw every single possible combination he knew to exist which was, well, all of them. Matsu was exceptionally well versed. He understood all the building blocks of all of them, but he simple didn't always have the ability to draw them forth.

"You can take you disgust outside, if you'd like. If you'd like to know more about various arts, ask. Otherwise your class will be done for today and you can go home. Either way you're likely to be done quite soon. I would highly recommend asking to learn. The only way you are going to grow, and subsequently survive, is to know as much as you possibly can. I don't spend most of my days down below so that children like you can throw tantrums." He was referring to her spitting in his classroom. It was likely that Matsu was the most senior teacher at this point and this classroom had been his by request.

Kurai · Mar 12, 2017

Kurai had taken a took a deep breath, and in doin so realised that he was right. The teacher infront of her was right. She was useless unable to do a thing, even with the help of someone she,d only hold them down and just hinder them.

"Im sorry."

Looking back at the the man Kurai could only apologise for her rudeness and to be frank did not want to be kicked out or even butchered bit by bit losing parts of her body due to her distaste in the recent events of the genjutsu. Nothing goes how you want it to, and to her it was just ninja life, and regardless she would have to get used to it.

Watching him draw diagrams on the board Kurai's attention was drawn ever so deeply. Learning more about the taijutsu styles, ninjutsu and even genjutsu. He was right in saying that every ninja needs to know about the different arts and she was no different.

Takahashi Matsu · Mar 16, 2017

[col]Matsu nodded and if he had a bit of a smile that could spread across his face then he would. "While I may be right, that is beside the point. The point is to educate, child. I am not here to make you feel bad, good, disappointed, or otherwise. I am here to cause you to learn. Sadly, I am also our academy's worst teacher and you are stuck with me currently. Now, which of these would you like to learn more about? While I do not have access to all of what are known as 'Advanced Elements,' I am versed in all forms of physical combat and have trained extensively with Genjutsu. However, I am educated in all forms of Ninjutsu as well, even if I am unable to perform all of them...currently. Pushing oneself can allow them to learn anything. However, this requires learning how to survive and grow."

After finishing his diagrams, he would turn back to the child and wait for her to decide which topic of conversation they wished to get into. He was more than happy to teach her about anything that was within his realm of knowledge. He was a wealth of knowledge given his position. He'd been a medic, an anbu, a special issue jounin, and generally just hunted on his own time. He had run the gambit in terms of what a ninja could be and so he was specifically trained. He was able to make sure that if a student wished to take a particular route and provide them the best aid possible. Unfortunately for his students, Matsu didn't truly care about what his students thought. He would teach them in whatever was be found best fit. So far, he had an exceptional graduation rate. However, students died. This was not uncommon with his classes.

He would watch her. She was beginning to understand that she was not in a place to leverage herself. Perhaps, by the end of the class, she would learn what her strengths were even when particularly outclassed. It was all about finding the way to the end and performing ones duty. Now, perhaps, would be her chance.
