Chapter 2 the meeting

The teachers eventually got up and went back to the front of the class "well your quite impressive "

Lizzie eventually snapped to reality. She sighed and decided to get up and walk over to the girl in the kimono and extend her hand "hey that's pretty cool . Nice to see someone so strong. What's your name mine is Lizzie" she managed a warm smile. If she was good at anything it was looking nice and friendly.

The girl waited for a second and grabbed Lizzie's hand shaking it and then pulling herself up "thanks. The names shoru " she had a small smile . Despite her normally blank appearance even she couldn't resist the warm smile of such a cutie

The teachers cleared their throat "today was more of a test day. As for that, it is over and you shall all be placed in separate classes the top being with me. Don't be surprised if your class doesn't have many people. We won't be moving people up or down to make people feel better. This won't be a nice year for any of you and as for the top we expect you to be able to use your element before the end of the year . You are all dismissed ." Everyone leaves quickly. As quickly as they can completely out of breath that is.

Lizzie looks at Elizabeth and shuro "so you two wanna come to me to the tea place downtown ?" She asked kindly

Elizabeth smiled "sorry but my joints kinda hurt from such rapid movements and I just wanna sleep. I'm also not much of a tea person. Sorry."

Lizzie nods and looks at shuro "how about you?"

Shuro looked down regaining her cold expression "I'm busy" she dashed away before anyone could say anything

Elizabeth tilted her head shrugging before promptly leaving

Lizzie sighed before walking away she looked among the group of people leaving. Looks like everyone's test class already ends.

Lizzie sighed, As everyone split up to go home she walked down the quiet road. Only the noise of small gossip and babble. The seller trying to sell his many fruits. The bandit fleeing from a guard. The horse drawn carriages galloping down the road. It was peaceful, she smiled at the beauty. One thing she learned in life was just because she was strong and smart doesn't mean she can look down on things below her. Her parents weren't as talented as her and had quite a different upbringing and taught her that there is both ugly and beauty in every single being. Whether it be the rose petal that gracefully flows through the wind . The horse as it neighs . The pig as it rolls in the mud . Or the rat that is just trying to do what it can to eat. She finally came upon the tea place . It was a small shack with vines and roses on it . Lizzie stopped to appreciate the beauty before seeing something.

Tynaki stares into the sky "hmm" he thought silently about something . He was laying on the roof of the tea shop when suddenly a woman (Lizzie) yelled from infront of the shop "HEY YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST SITTING THERE" this startled tynaki causing him jump up trip and fall off face planting

Lizzie saw this giggling and holding back laughter, "Are you ok?" She said while laughing.

Tynaki got up and sighed "yeah I'm fine thanks lady. And also to answer your question I was sitting there thinking about what kind of tea you wanted "

Lizzie tilted her head somewhat confused

Tynaki sighed and explained somewhat embarrassed, "ok so maybe I feel really awkward when I keep someone waiting because I can't decide and I'm very not decisive" tynaki sighed

Lizzie smiled her signature warm smile and giggled "aww. Come on I'll pay for you . It wasn't nice of me to cause you to fall"

Tynaki sighed and politely declined "oh no it's fi-"

"Did I fucking ask" Lizzie replies somewhat playfully as she grabs tynaki and drags him into the store . She had no alterior motives but she really just wanted a friend and he seemed nice, And she was lonely, Oddly enough.

As they walked in and sat at a little bar, A pleasant looking girl with purple hair and blue eyes in a purple kimono approached them

"Hello my name is senashi what kind of tea would you two like" she asked

Tynaki stutters but Lizzie confidently says "a green tea for both of us please "

Senashi nods and starts making green tea for both of them

Tynaki sighs and looks around the shop . It had a few shelves with tea bags, sugar, some flowers on some tables and just some tables.

Tynaki sighed and stretched "the names tynaki, you?" He asked Lizzie

Lizzie smiles "that's a pleasant name . I'm Lizzie" she responds

"Mhm I saw you in the water element right? That's cool" tynaki states.

Lizzie nods somewhat surprised "oh your perceptive, oh and I saw you in lightning "

They go on and on as they drink their tea just given to them, Favorite food, Drink, Hobby, And then..

"So. What's your motivation" tynaki blatantly said

Lizzie tilted her head

Tynaki just goes on "I've never been strong and have been kinda unmotivated, And I was tormented for it by some peoplezEspacially one person, But that person served as my inspiration. I swore on my life That I'd surpass him, we gained a sort of rivalry that caused us to butt heads but I was always weaker. He's honestly almost my friend and my inspiration, So I made the promise that I'd surpass him before we entered, I saw him enter fire by the way."

Lizzie nodded "wow that's really fucking cool. For me I was always somewhat of a prodigy, Not by much but enough I started thinking, Imagine if got stronger, imagine how strong I could get. Granted I realized I wasn't that special today, But now I'm just more pumped to become strong." Lizzie smiled determined

Tynaki smiled back "well you better prepare to be my rival. Oh speaking of rivalry I heard there's a tournament in a few weeks out of the best of the best. I'll probably be in it and I have no doubt you will be too."

Eventually senashi asks "so do you two plan to pay anytime soon" she said passive aggressively

Lizzie smiles and nods reaching into her pocket "ok I seem to have run into a problem. I left my money home"

Tynaki sighs "fine but you owe me" he reached into his jacket pocket . Too realize his jacket is still at the dojo which is long passed closed.

Tynaki breaths in and puts a hand in lizzies shoulder "Lizzie. You see I went to lightning . BECAUSE I AM SPEED" he yells at he attempts to dash out the door only to met by senashi dashing infront of the door and uppercutting him with a closed japanese fan.

Senashi sighed "fine I'll let you get away with it if you work for here a equal amount of time it'd take to earn that money which really isn't much it'll only be a day"

They sighed in unison "fine" tynaki muttered

They didn't have anything major to worry about

At the moment...
