[/center][/cell][cell]Academy was very routine. Shinda had gotten used to it in all things following a certain pattern. He got up in the morning, made breakfast for himself and Shumatsu, packed lunch and walked to the Academy where he and Rei awkwardly greeted each other. Had classes, ate lunch together, and then sat near enough that people at least said they were friends. Today decided to be different, and having even known that it likely would be Shinda still was oddly not prepared for the assigned teams decorating the board. Their class was small, not really anyone of note in his opinion, and the names sorted them into what he assumed was an attempt at making balanced teams. Or maybe not he wasn't sure. What he was sure of was that Rei and him were going to continue to be some semblance of friends? Before he could really think more on that the door slammed open. Shumatsu stood in the door way in his odd hunched over way that he associated with him stumbling into the house past midnight after spending the evening who knows where. He loudly declared that he was picking Shinda up and the younger brother slowly blinked in response before standing and startling slightly at the fact his brother was their apparent sensei. Shinda scrambled after his brother after he made no attempt to wait for him, he knew better then to wait to long otherwise Shumatsu would fuck off to drink or something. Shinda awkwardly grabbed Rei's hand when he worried they were falling behind and checked to make sure the other teammate, Kamui Kaguya, was keeping up. They made their way to a training field, and then Shumatsu was introducing himself, and telling them to climb a cliff that was not the mostly friendly looking in appearance before sundown. Shumatsu left before Shinda could force out a question of comment on the situation. Rei approached the wall with some sort of positive comment and began climbing. Shinda nervously watched him start and glanced at Kamui.

Shinda shifted uncertain again looking around, he was hoping for some sort of dirrection but he didn't see any indication, Shumatsu wouldn't have bothered with that either. Rummaging around his bag, he pulled out a rope before tyeing it off on an arrow. Glancing at Kamui he shrugged before firing it up higher on the cliff. The rope dangled next to Rei, and didn't make it too far up but at least it would give them a stopping point. Tough he wondered how much weight it would even hold...maybe it would at least slow a fall.

[color=#e3242b]"We won't know much till we try? If we can get a good enough footing we can make stopping points as we go so we aren't rushing to the top, maybe figure out a way to catch on to something if we fall..."[/color] Shinda pulled himself up behind his team mate, he was going slow, partially because he was nervous about whatever Shumatsu was planning, if anything, and also partially because if he worse himself off halfways up a cliff it wouldn't be ideal. [color=#e3242b]"We should pace ourselves as best we can, it's after midday but we have a few hours before it starts getting dark so we should have plenty of..."[/color] The small pebbles and rocks and dirt falling over head was all the warning they got before a much larger boulder came toppling over well above them.[/cell][/row][/table][right][/right]
