As for me..."[/color], the boy snapped the book shut as he stood up, looking over the view. The wind blew cold for a brief moment, in that seemingly tiny space of time it felt as if the air and sky chilled into a shady gray, before reality would return to the sunny and warm day they were having. [color=CDF3FF]"Hmmm... Let's just say my graduation had been long overdue. This is a nice town, and a nice school besides, but there are greater things I wish to pursue"[/color], though what he said was a fairly normal sentiment, a certain tone within his voice seethed with frustration, like what he looked upon was but a gilded prison. It can't help but be somewhat ominous. [color=CDF3FF]"I am sure you will be just fine though. I suppose I can rest assured another appreciates this view besides me"[/color], he said. Say what the young bird might, as soon as he looked away, and then back to the boy, he would be gone, in his place an arctic breeze for but a moment. A mysterious encounter to say the least. [center][h3]Seidoujima Island - Mountain River[/h3][/center] [@I-Am-X] [hr] Perhaps the best place with a good deal of space, and just a refreshing sight was the large river that went down the mountain, seemingly from a mysterious source at the top, which upon it was perched a giant tree. The mystery of this sight aside, this riverside area was quite spacious, lending a great deal of space to train with. Though she had troubles in class sometimes, being a rather abrasive individual, there was no way her teachers could say she wasn't hardworking. Soon though she would not be alone here, as emerging from the bushes was a familiar face. [color=6ecff6]"Oh, I thought I heard your voice, up here training?"[/color], it was Asta, she had some more outgoing clothes but from the looks of it, training wasn't on her mind like it was for Ultana. [color=6ecff6]"I came up here to look at edible herbs, I heard the townspeople talk of them. Who knows if one day I'll have nothing but the wilds of this land to contend with"[/color], a rather unique worry, but from the bag she was carrying she wasn't kidding. Those were all plants of sorts, and some mushrooms too. Alongside it was a book she was holding too, which seemed to have notes and pictures of edible plants.
