Reiji gave a nod of acknowledgement as Asuka introduced herself and their other teammate, Taibushi. She seemed she was actively trying to be polite. Given the way the kunoichi held herself she wasn't too thrilled with his late arrival. He couldn't blame her when he'd been more than so.  [color=f49ac2]"It's a pleasure to meet you."[/color] Reiji smiled. [color=mediumorchid]"Likewise. And I promise, this isn't a habit of mine."[/color] Suddenly, more people started to show up. It seemed everyone else was as oblivious to this change of pace as he was, including Mao-sensei.

This was turning into a slightly dangerous situation. The more and more fellow shinobi that arrived the more and more rivals presented themselves. Reiji found himself looking forward to the coming days. One of the new arrivals seemed to be familiar with Asuka as well as some of the others to an extent. To be honest when he came to Konoha he didn't bother keeping track of the other students at the academy. He had a lot to keep his thoughts occupied to say the least. Asuka greeted him happily and with enthusiasm--a stark contrast to Reiji's reception--while he introduced himself. "And you as well Seichi-San, Reiji-San, I am happy to finally get the chance to engage in meaningful conversation with you. All of you probably know this already, especially after my good friend Asuka-San's greeting. My name is Toko Ling, the boy who couldn't manage even the simplest of jutsu." Reiji looked over Toko. The boy was small and hardly looked very powerful but considering his familiarity with Asuka he could guess they've trained together several times. After watching her, Toko would have to be quite agile to keep up with her speed. Not to mention... [color=mediumorchid]"Couldn't manage the simplest jutsu, huh? If that's the case then you must have some impressive skill to have made it through the academy~"[/color] A compliment tinged with Reiji's desire to see what kind of fight Toko could offer but a compliment nonetheless.

As the pattern followed through another new arrival appeared. This time a girl who entered with an abundance of energy and lack of personal space as she clung to the ever-frustrated looking Asuka. Reiji had to admit she was a breath of fresh air. The calm atmosphere was starting to make him restless. [color=A9A9A9]"Looks like you got yourself caught in your own harem, Asuka!"[/color] The brown haired girl seemed to be enjoying herself greatly as she teased Miss Koizumi. And really Reiji was too. In fact... [color=mediumorchid]"A harem? I wouldn't lend myself to such a thing, especially for a girl I've just met..."[/color] Placing his hands in his pockets Reiji turned away from the group, going along with the new girl's joke and playing the role of the cold and distant character type within the usual harem. [color=mediumorchid]"That's not to say I don't find her a little interesting."[/color] He said looking at Asuka from the corner of his eye and with a slight husk to his voice. Probably not the best idea considering he was probably already on the kunoichi's bad side by being late...Reiji just couldn't pass up a good teasing~
