Nine, that's when I started basic training. But I don't remember it being basic as far as for a class of three nine year olds. Besides that, the class was fun considering that's where I met the people I'm closest to as of right now.
There was me and two boys. One with natural curly-ish dark brown hair and an outgoing personality and one with jet black straight hair and no interest on talking to anyone who he didn't know already. Though I never learned their names because class was far too busy to be learning stuff like that. I mean we all had a separate sensei, and when class ended we were far too tired for socializing. Learning martial arts at a young age kicks ass.
As class went on, the curly haired boy was put up against me, and there was no doubt in my mind I was gonna win, I could tell by his hesitation, he was to nice to go full on with a girl. But I was wrong. All it took was one kick of mine to reach his palm, for me to be put on my ass so fast. He really didn't hold back when his sensei was watching him like a hawk.
I was just sitting there in a frozen state of 'what the f-' "My name is Christopher", he whispered while reaching his hand out for me to grab, "Please call me Chan tho because Christopher is a mouth-full". Accepting his hand and pulling myself up I responded with "My name is Jinsu". He smiled and went back to his place on the floor as did I.
After class instead of silence from us three walking back to our rooms Chan spoke up and said "I'm sorry for kicking your butt in class today, can we still be friends?" I looked at him not realizing he was talking to me, "me?" Is all that came out of my mouth. "Yeah". "Oh yeah sure, you would be my first tho, I know no one here but my personal sensei". I spoke with embarrassment. "Don't worry you're my first friend too, it's hard finding friends here when the only people your age are always busy or tired" the jet black haired kid snickered at that.
Chan turned towards him and asked his name out of curiosity, and sorta took the one chance he's remotely come close to talking to us as a chance to get to know him as well. "Minho". "I like that name" Chan said assuringly. "Me too" I said agreeing. "So does this mean we're all friends now" Chan asked, And to answer that yes we have been the closest of friends since that day even with switching to spy academy at 13 and then recruiting under the same agency one day around 19 we still have never drifted apart. Never.
Authors note
Hey this is the start of my first story, I mean I've wrote a lot of others but I've never really posted them because I started and never finished but I'm confident that if I post this one now then that will be a big enough motivator to keep on updating!! Tysm for reading and drop some name recommendations because I am struggling with a title for this book...
