The old guy was really starting to piss Aiza off. He obviously thought that his age made him better than everyone else. But what gave him the right to tell everyone off like that? Not even a member of White Lotus yet, and she already had her first enemy. Aiza decided that she definitely hated the old guy, and anybody else who acted like him. He didn't know what he was talking about anyway, she had never gotten anyone killed before. In fact, she had gotten roughed up making sure people didn't get killed. Aiza puffed her chest up and was about to give the old guy what he deserved when the most amazing thing happened. Somebody actually stood up for her.

Aiza couldn't help but just stand there in shock as the Waterbending boy, Sorin, went over to the old guy. Sorin actually told the old guy off, calling him mean and high and mighty. It was a little weird, but touching, very touching. The Firebender couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face. That was probably the first time in her life somebody had stood up for her, and not just joined the side against her. Aiza decided right away that she liked Sorin and was really happy for him when he got accepted. Now it was her turn. But before any more matches could start, a siren started going off. Apparently their test would be on the battlefield.

Aiza ran to catch up with Sorin. "Hey uh, thanks for standing up for me. Nobody's ever done that before. My name is Aiza by the way." She said, not even adding anything crazy afterwards. A million stupid things popped into her head to say, but nothing seemed right. So for once in her life, she kept her thoughts to herself. Her heart was beating faster than normal, out of excitement, and maybe a little fear. Her first real battle. Sure she had fought before, but those were just skirmishes. Now was the time to test how Aiza-fu did against real, trained soldiers.
