"Thanks." Arata said, taking a seat next to Aleksa. He turned his attention to Ms. Shiba who began talking about a special match for each of them, the first being between Sakura Matsuoka,  one of the academy's best students, and Hisoka. This perplexed him. [color=806517][i]Why would they pair novices to fight veterans? To prove they have much to learn? It doesn't make sense to me. [/i][/color]

Before Arata knew it, they had arrived. He felt slightly bad for not attempting to carry a conversation with anyone, but his thoughts remained on Hisoka's match. There was no reason to hold the match at all. Sadly, it seemed that Hisoka was stoked for the fight. Arata sighed, following Saitama to the stands. [color=806517]"Why one of the best students here? It still doesn't make sense."[/color] Arata quietly thought aloud, looking concerned, [color=806517]"One of the best versus a newbie. Hope he's alright."[/color]
