Childishness and Arriving At School

Morning rolled around.

The time was 5:30am.

Secretary Kim woke up refreshed after a peaceful night's rest. By the time she'd showered and readied herself for the day, it was 5:50am. Nearly time for her to wake Taka up. The staff were busy, some preparing breakfast, some doing chores, some busying themselves with smaller less important tasks but busy none the less.

6am came quickly. Secretary Kim made her way toward Taka's bedroom. Having prepared herself, she opened the door only to find the room deserted, the bed already made and the curtains pulled back.

She began to panic having no idea where Taka might be, she went searching around the property but still found no signs of him, with no other option she had to ask the staff, who pointed her in the direction of the Chef.

The Chef was busy making breakfast. What surprised her most was the fact that nearly all the staff in the house were picked by Emily, the only exception was, Chef, who both Taka and Snow, in a joint effort had brought in. From what she'd observed, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the Chef, other than his excessively skilled way of wielding a knife.

Walking over to him, she coughed to make him aware she was there.

"Oh, Secretary Kim, welcome to my humble abode, what can I do for you?" The Chef spoke in an overly dramatic way.

"You wouldn't happen to know where I can find Taka, would you?" She asked politely.

"Oh, first name basis already? Damn the kid works fast." The Chef said with a wild grin. Secretary Kim tried her hardest not to blush at the comment.

"The kid wasn't in a great mood when he woke up earlier, so the Oldman took him to spar in the dojo. I think little Fenny went with them too." He said slicing through a slab of meat with ease.

"And where is the dojo?"

"Oh, right, you're new. I'll show you. One moment." He stabbed the knife into the work surface and washed his hands.

"Follow me." They walked down some stairs, which lead into a corridor. At the end, stood a titanium door with an eye and fingerprint scanner.

Chef turned to her, his face serious and his eyes cold as ice.

"I'll help you this once, but in the future, you'll have to ask the kid or the Oldman to register you on the scanner, alright?"

Secretary Kim nodded.

"Good, in you go then." The Chef's carefree smile returned once again as he bounced off back to the kitchen.

Stepping through the door, she was met with another corridor, leading into a large warehouse-sized room. From within, the sounds of metal clashing, dull thuds and bangs could be heard.

Making her way into the huge room, she found out what was causing the sounds.

Snow and Taka were going at it tooth and nail, neither giving the other time to rest or recover. Each punch exchanged for a punch, each kick exchanged for a kick. Blades sparking off each other at the sheer force being applied.

Watching the fighting unfold, terror gripped Mi-so's mind. She shut her eyes and quickly ran in between the brawlers to stop the fighting. If the two were lesser fighters, Mi-so would've been sliced cleanly in two but both Snow and Taka were already on a level far above grandmasters. Besides they weren't even seriously fighting.

Opening her eyes she found two people staring down at her.

"Well that was stupid Noona, you could've been seriously hurt there if we didn't stop in time." Taka spoke, irritation clear in his tone.

"But you were going to kill each other." She cried. Snow decided to speak up.

"Secretary Kim if we really wanted to kill each other, this dojo and the rest of the house would've been destroyed long ago. We were merely sparring so Taka could clear his head."

"That was a spar?" she asked incredulously. They both nodded.

Looking them over, she couldn't find an injury on either of them. Seeing this she became embarrassed.

"I'm sorry." Mi-so spoke while bowing deeply in apology.

"It's fine, we were almost done..." Taka smiled.

".....How did you get down here anyway?" He asked curiously.

"The Chef let me in."

Snow sighed, shaking his head.

"Only that idiot would allow someone in here without warning them first."

"Meh, it's fine. Let's go and eat breakfast, it should be done by now." Taka cheered.

Making their way toward the kitchen, Fen appeared out of nowhere and followed them.

-

Breakfast passed in chaos as Snow chased Chef around the kitchen for letting a civilian into the dojo. Snow asked Chef what he was thinking? Only for Chef to answer by childishly sticking out his tongue and making fart noises, which annoyed Snow just enough to make him want to kill him.

-

Time passed.

It was time for Taka to head to school. Saying his goodbyes to Snow and Fen. Taka headed off to school with Secretary Kim.

-

His car arrived at the main entrance to the school, drawing the attention of the students in the midst of their morning rush. Seeing an imported car wasn't rare in Korea but seeing a Rolls Royce anywhere was rare.

The door opened and out stepped Secretary Kim further drawing the attention of the students, especially the males of the population.

She was quickly greeted by the headteacher who informed her the car could be parked around the back of the school, where Taka could get out without being gawped at. By the time the car was packed, classes had already started, so Taka was free to wander around the school, all while Secretary Kim finished up the annoying paperwork, as Taka had phrased it.

Exploring the school, he soon discovered that his new high school was about twice the size of the one he'd attended in the past.

"This place is freakin' huge."

His exploring was interrupted when Secretary Kim called him back to the headteacher's office. Meeting Taka in person took the headteacher by surprise. Not only was he surprised by how handsome Taka was, what surprised him most was how well he spoke Korean in spite of him being a non-native. He heard that Taka was a genius, but this was insane. Taka spoke better Korean than most of the teachers in the school. What the teacher didn't know was that it was all because of a skill and not Taka's intelligence alone.

The meeting came to a swift end. Secretary Kim said her goodbyes to Taka and left. While the headteacher gave him a tour of the school, before leading him to his first class. The headteacher had already taken it upon himself to explain Taka's unique circumstance to his new teacher in the hopes that Taka's transition into the school would be easier.

The tour lasted about an hour, as the headteacher wanted to make sure Taka knew everything that was available to him in the school. Now with the tour finished, it was finally time for Taka to introduce himself to his new class.
