I squeeze his hand and he turns to smile at me before both of us turn to listen to the final opening ceremony speech that we will hear the head master say before we become adults.

Let see what this year brings now, shall we?

***********************************
Lexi's POV

I am currently in hell or purgatory as it seems I'm being tested today by three things.

If you're wondering what I'm on about, let me tell you.

Saki and I are on our way to uncle Shiba's stable as he invited us to watch the practise of the pro's. We were also going to complete our original mission of scouting out the different stables. We took the train as I didn't want to be sleepy and drive.

Uncle Shiba's stable is the last one, so since early this morning, I've had to listen to Saki go on and on about Uncle Shiba and the current wrestlers at his stable. I don't think she realised that I dozed off once or twice.

The second part of my hell was when we arrived at the stable and uncle Shiba decided to crush me to death by hugging in front of all the pro's. "Tigress, there you are my girl. I was getting worried if you would arrive here alright. You didn't get hurt? No one bothered you?" Uncle Shiba said whilst checking to make sure I wasn't hurt or anything.

This is embarrassing.

We only travelled on the train for a couple of hours, not riding a camel through the desert. I stood back and smiled to soothe his worries, "I'm fine uncle Shiba. There was no problems on the journey here. Now, let me formally introduce you to Saki-chan, Shido's sister and follow manager. I believe you briefly met at my birthday".

Saki bowed "It's a pleasure to see you again Master Shibakiyama. I look forward to the next two days".

"No problem at all Saki-chan. We look forward to your stay. Now let me introduce you to guys here", uncle Shiba said and faced the pros. I turned to look at them and saw them standing with jaws agape. I went up to the one standing closest to me and waved my hand in front of his eyes, "Heellooo. Anybody there?"

"Geh. Sorry what?" poor guy was startled. "Sorry about that, it's just that I've never seen the master so affectionate before. I'm Terahara Takuya" he smiled.

"Nice to meet you Tearhara-san. I'm Lexi, sumo club manager for Tottori Hakurou".

"Oh, we all know who you are Lexi-chan. The master doesn't stop talking about you" Terahara chuckled. Great, what the hell have been saying uncle Shiba. "Oh yeah, we also have someone else joining for training a bit later, a high schooler like yourself", Terahara sighed. "What's wrong with that?" I asked confused. "It's just that every time a high schooler tries our training; they boost at the beginning, then quit halfway through, complaining that the training was too hard". This must have happened time and time again if the pros are expecting the same reaction from the visitor later.

Clap-clap

"Enough of the gloom talk. Lexi-chan, you have your work out clothes like I told you to bring?" Oh yeah, almost forgot the third thing that was testing me today. Uncle Shiba asked me to bring some workout clothes. I have a really bad feeling about this.

"Yeaah? Quick question? Why?" I asked.

Uncle Shiba gave the biggest smile "Well since you're here, you might as well train? Cause you want to be stronger right?"
