[b]“Alright everyone. Settle down.”[/b] 

Immediately Rima quieted, although unable to refrain from sharing an occasional excited whisper with his neighbors throughout their speech. All followed the lines of who they hoped were teammates, who their potential sensei’s would be. Personally, he had no real preference to whom he was teamed up with but held some hope of possibly being with Keita, someone he had come to view in a brotherly-like fondness over the years.

[b]”Momo! Put that kunai away! You'll poke an eye out."[/b]

The sharp voice from their teacher, however, interrupted his thoughts and had the taller teen automatically straightening in his seat suddenly quiet as his head tilted curiously towards whom she scolded. Although he tried to remain indiscreet, his added height gave him leverage to gaze over the heads of shorter students and made hiding his interest a little more difficult.

Momo Sakurai. Although he didn’t know her beyond being a fellow classmate the teen was surprised their teacher even said anything about her twirling a kunai. In their practical test, she was probably the best in their year when it came to handling weapons and he smiled empathetically as she exasperatedly put the kunai away. [color=862d86][i]‘I would think the teachers would at least trust us not to lose them or accidentally hurt someone by now...right?’[/i][/color]

[b]”I will now assign you your three-man squads and the training grounds to where you will meet your Sensei.”[/b] 

The teacher having seemed to have regained her composure continued, calling names and their squads. Here the giant paid rapt attention, giving condolences and encouragements as some of his friend’s names started being called and felt twinge of disappointment as Keita was called into a team with Momo and Isami, another girl he didn’t know well. Unfortunately that was his own fault, he tended to gravitate to those with a more open and extroverted nature like himself. She seemed nice though and maybe he could get to know them better if Keita’s team worked out. Speaking of Keita, his attention turned towards the long-haired male as he got up to leave with his team and the white-haired teen gave an excited grin and wave of farewell, [color=862d86][b]”Good luck, Keita! You guys as well, have fun~”[/b][/color]

As the three left the room, Rima turned his attention back towards their Academy teacher. There were only a handful of students left, none that he knew overly well but it didn’t bother him much as he was open to making friends with anyone he’d be assigned with and it didn’t seem he had to wait long as the teen heard his name called.

[b]"Team Hideo! Rima Miyazaki and Kiyoko Mizushima. Meet at training ground 11.”[/b] There was a confused pause from both teacher and students.[b]”I guess you all's squad is a duo. Strange."[/b]

[color=862d86][i]'I’ve never heard of that happening before, maybe we’ll get a third person later?’[/i][/color] A bright grin stretched across his cheeks despite the abnormality because he finally made it, he was finally a Genin! His excitement was hard to contain as he hopped up from his chair, but he held himself together as he made to approach his new teammate.

Kiyoko was a bit different. Rima didn’t know her as well either but he found her focus in class admirable and wished he had the same attention span when it came to subjects outside of his interest, maybe his grades would have been better beyond his affinity for chakra control and prenatural strength. She had a prickly air that made him keep a respectful distance so far, but now that they were to be teammates it would be a good time to extend an olive branch of sorts to test the waters before meeting with their sensei. 

[color=862d86][b]“Hi, Kiyoko!”[/b][/color] Oops, maybe he should have gone with her last name in respect since he didn’t know her well but it was too late now. [color=862d86][b]”Would you like to walk to the training ground together?”[/b][/color] Another inward wince because obviously they would be heading to the same destination seeing as they were now teammates but he just wanted to make sure he wouldn’t be stabbed for trying to walk next to her on the way, she seemed the type.
