[center][h2][color=mediumorchid]Reiji Saikumo[/color][/h2][/center] It had been a long time since Reiji found himself this thrilled. He even managed to arrive on time for class. His tardiness never hindered his performance as a student and the short back-and-forth with the sensei made the classroom experience a little more interesting. Today was different however. He'd outgrown the academy and was a genin now. The others who had also achieved the rank were all waiting to be assigned to a three-man squad led by a jonin. More advanced training, missions, and a high ranking shinobi for Reiji to challenge. Reiji would also get the chance to venture further out than the villages boundaries is search of answers. [b]"…and those are all of the squads. Please remain seated until the other Jōnin arrive."[/b] [color=mediumorchid]"Hm?"[/color] Reiji looked up, pulled out of his thougts by the realization that he hadn't been assigned to a team along with a few others. [color=mediumorchid][i]Did I miss something? Why are there so many of us left over?[/i][/color] He knew the adults weren't as near-sighted but he could understand if he was left out due to his classmates worries regarding the lion-maned genin. But a handful of them weren't called. Reiji stood from his seat, startling some of the others around him and drawing wary looks. [color=mediumorchid]"I think you missed a few...mind telling us why?"[/color] [b]"As for the remaining six students who's names weren't called out… you have been advised to move to Class 23 as soon as possible."[/b] [color=mediumorchid]"Why you..."[/color] The instructor left the room completely ignoring Reiji's question. Howver, lowering himself into his seat Reiji found himself smiling. [color=mediumorchid][i]At least it's interesting~[/i][/color] [hr] Ten or so minutes later Reiji waited in the designated room along with the others that weren't assigned to teams. It was relatively quiet except for the most rambunctious of their class, Seichi Hino. He made things lively so Reiji had no qualms with him. Still, Reiji's restlessness was becoming more and more evident. Finally, the door opened and a woman entered. She seemed incredibly cheery and even managed to out-grin Seichi as she introduced herself. Fuyuko Wakahisa. Reiji wasn't one to underestimate anyone and she was a prime case of why. [color=mediumorchid][i]She carries herself like some kind of idol...but her presence she commands betrays that."[/i][/color] This situation had just gotten much more exciting. [b]"Anyways… you guys must be wondering why you're here, right? You see, our wonderful Hokage has assigned all nine of you to a special squad that will be under my supervision for the first year or so. Of course, we will be doing normal missions like the rest of the three man squads, but here, you'll also be doing something a little bit different…" "So basically there's this organization that we gotta take down and blah, blah, blah, it's kinda complicated so I'll just keep the description pretty vague. Don't kill me yet, though. We still have introductions to get through!"[/b] All of them assigned to one squad? Organization? She had certainly got his attention. A group of this size gave Reiji plenty of rivals and the prospect of going after a potentially dangerous organization only made things sound more fun. Unfortunately, their sensei decided to skip the explanation and have them introduce themselves. Reiji's eye twitched, a little annoyed but otherwise intrigued. [color=mediumorchid]"My name is Reiji Saikumo. I like a good fight~"[/color] The sun shining through the window reflected the fire in his eyes as he spoke. [color=mediumorchid]"I dislike...I hate being left in the dark..."[/color] The fire vanished from his eyes and was replaced with something else. His tone became faintly solemn as he continued. [color=mediumorchid]"And my favorite season is winter. Now about that organization to mentioned...[/color]
