Training session

it's not like I'm an extrovert, but I feel downcast looking at how the brown haired guy is sitting confined at the very end of the room .

" It can't be helped , we need to proceed forward and present our salutations to him whatsoever ! " that's what my brain is telling to my other organs, but I'm too timid to talk to strangers let alone move and give my salutations.

However, before I knew it , I was walking towards the direction of the brown haired students. By the time I reached my destination, the words fled off my mind and left me ideal .

Realizing there's no way around, I forced the words from my mouth and presented my salutations in a civil manner .

" Good morrow my good sir ~" I don't even know what I just uttered cause that literally came out of nowhere.

bewildered by my odd slang, he raised his head upwards and the " what ? " type of expression was printed all over his face .

" u..I.. hi ... there " I averted my gaze and rubbed my head in embarrassment , for I had no idea what to do in this situation.

Refusing to give me a proper reply , he simply rolled his eyes and turned back to face his previous direction .

I won't take it to heart , but that was not very polite or polite at all .

" Everyone back to Your Rooms !!!! " The ear piercing deep shriek of Master Hisashi reminded as that he's still our master .

I returned back to my room as soon as I finished cleaning our lobby with the others. The only thing I love about this surreal world is my comfortable private room which has all the necessary and extra commodities for free .

But still , I wanna leave this place and go back to my home and my mom . hmm...I wonder how she's doing ?

Next day ..... 8:00 am

* yawn * ....

" is it morning yet ? "

" SHINZUKO!!!! Hurry up ! we're gonna be late for training!! " Yui's voice is coming from a distance telling me to hurry up for training, but Master Hisashi didn't clarify the exact time of training nor did he tell me to come today . perhaps I didn't hear hime very well , or so erased it from my memory.

All I know is that Hisahi will have no mercy on me if I arrived late . I must rush to the training area before it's too late .

15 minutes later...

" I'm ...h..here Hisa__. Master !! " I yelled with my breathless voice as I arrived at the training area , but the class had already started and I'm just an extra party who interrupted it .

Hisashi who had his eyebrows lowered and eyes contricted walked towards me to give me a piece of his mind .

" SMACK !!! "

I was unlawfully smacked on top of my head which felt like a heavy stone falling from a certain hieght landed on it .

I can hear the other Three chuckling behind me except the ignorant one who looked away in annoyance as I looked at him.

The training session started and everyone was doing so well , except for me ofcaurse, I can't even lift a leg !

" Shinzuko!! what are you doing standing at the corner and avoiding training?! " scolded Hisashi as he saw me standing in confusion.

" what I'm I supposed to do ? "

" take this and start practicing with Kanji " he threw a large heavy sword towards my direction and it almost landed on my foot if I hadn't avoided it in time .

I picked the sword from the ground and found Kanji standing right in front of me .

The sun which lightens up the day was shinning even brighter in this place . the angle in which it reaches the area was slightly slanted , thus reflected the coloured iris of kanji's kohaku amber eyes and it looked even brighter than usual . His shimmering eyes combined with his warm smile was pleasant to look at and melts the heart itself .

" I'm glad we're training together today "

" me too " I smiled back and my training session with Kanji begun .

I tried hard and worked my best , but I wasn't able to swing my sword as Kanji told me to .

" you can do it , just hold it tight , raise it upwards , one of your hands to support the base and the other to exert force " he kept giving me instructions and procedures to swing properly , but I'm still not doing well .

" hmm.... maybe it's the sword " I gave the sword to Kanji and told him it's the sword, and I was actually right .

" this sword is too heavy even for me , here take this " kanji handed me another sword which is lighter than before and more flexible to work with.

We continued training and learning different sword techniques and for my surprise , I was getting a hang of it .

" Great ! you're doing well , but you need to take a break before you get too exhausted " kanji suggested , but there's always someone like Hisashi who resents my peaceful break and time out .

It took me more than regular and additional training session to master a single sword techniques , but I'm glad I know something now.

It got dark unexpectedly quick and I started walking towards our cabin which was 2 miles further away from the training area.

The night sky which was free from cloud cover and enlightened by the full moon , revived my impression of home , back when everything was normal.

How ! just how did I ended up here !?

it's a question not even science could answer , if there is a science in this world .

I'm starting to get cold and twitchy for some reason , hmm... is it because I've been walking forever to get to our cabin or is it exhaustion from training earlier , maybe it's both .

" hey ! "

" AAAAAAA !! "

" what are you screamed for !! master told me to bring you back since you were walking like a sloth " it was the brown haired guy , holding an odd fly zapper in one of his hands .

" wh..what's that for ? ( is he gonna hit me with it !? ) "

" it's for the fire flies which buzz near this area " he replied after looking at my expression , as if I know what the heck fire flies are .

" fire ... flies ?? "

" Ya , those things are really dangerous. if you're one of the unlucky passages to get bitten by the flies , it's the end of the road for you , more precisely you'll DIE " a shiver run down my spine when he uttered those words so casually . I guess I should expect this kind of things from a surreal world .

Silence filled the atmosphere as we continued walking towards the cabin . The Cold night breeze fizzled my hair and my hands started shaking uncontrollably. I covered my mouth to stop my teeth from chattering , but I wasn't able to control my physiological response to the temperature.

" what's with you ? " brown hair looked downwards and spotted me quaking to death .

" n-n-nothing I'm f..f..fine " it was obvious from my crooked speech that I wasn't oka, however he simply turned around by agreeing with the fact that I'm okay.

" by the w-w - way , I haven't had the ch-chance to ask for your name " I tried to act as polite as possible .

" why do you wanna know " he replied with his pesky act , ARGH ! what a jerk !

" oh you know, since we share the same lounge...wouldn't it be better to call you by your name "

" mmhm .....it's Akio " he mumbled ,but I was able to hear his name clearly.

" great and I'm Shinzuko " I smiled ,but he irritatededly averted his gaze .this guy ! I can't endure him anymore !! he's just too infuriating.

I tried to talk to him and act nice all the way to the Cabin till we arrived , b....ut we were greeted with raged cold faces ( Hisahi to be precise ) .
