#2 The Animatronics

     "Good night, everyone..." Michael greeted his students.

     Pairs of silver eyes stared at Michael in silence as he shone his flashlight at them.

     The moon shined through the windows in the classroom. Michael turned off the flashlight and put it in his trouser pocket.

     Michael blinked a few times, adjusting his vision in the dim room. After his eyes got used to the lighting in the room, he was finally able to see his students.

     Three animatronics sat next to each other in the front row, chatting at each other. They were Foxy the Pirate, Chica the Chicken, and Bonnie the Bunny.

     Freddy Fazbear, who was sitting right in the row behind them, also chatted with them. Golden Freddy sat next to him, just staring at the four of them.

     They are the Original Five.

     Next to their table was an animatronic that resembles a child, Balloon Boy. Sitting next to him was an animatronic that resembles a lean human wearing a mask, Puppet. They were looking at the ceiling. Balloon Boy seemed to be talking to whatever it was up there.

     Up there, hanging from a pipe in the ceiling, was a pink-white fox animatronic, Mangle. Her mouth moved as if she were talking to Balloon Boy, but from this distance Michael could only hear a sound like radio statics.

     Behind Freddy and Golden Freddy's table, there were three animatronics that look a lot like Chica, Bonnie, and Freddy. But the three looked more..."new".

     They were the Toy versions of the original Freddy, Chica, and Bonnie. The three animatronics were laughing at Balloon Boy, who was yelling at Mangle to get down.

     All of those animatronics came from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Even though it seemed like the Original Five came from a different year than the Toys.

     On the corner of the room, untouched by the Moon's light, Michael saw two pairs of white eyes shining in the darkness. That must be Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy. They also came from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and it took a lot of effort for Michael to even meet them and brought them to the Academy.

     In the back row, a pair of red eyes stared at Michael. He was Nightmare, his black body blending into the darkness of the room. Unlike the other animatronics, he came from the dream realm.

     Michael cleared his throat.

     "ahem. I'm here to congratulate you all for your graduation from the Academy. Now you are officially promoted as genins. Give yourselves a round of applause."

     Iron hands clapped together, creating a very loud noise. Along with unnecessary cheers, which really irritated Michael.

     "Alright, that's enough. As genins, you'll be formed into four-man cells—"

Michael's sentence was cut by the animatronics. They were talking to each other. They all wondered who they will team up with?

     "—with a jōnin as the leader of each group."

     The class became noisier. Luckily Michael had finished his sentence. Now he was busy searching for something in his pocket.

     Finally Michael found what he was searching for. A scroll.

     "Alright. I'll read the team list. For those whose names I mentioned, sit down with your teammates right away."

     The whole class's attention shifted to Michael as he began to read the scroll.

     "Team 1. Foxy the Pirate, Chica the Chicken, and Bonnie the Bunny."

     The three animatronics looked surprised. They didn't expect to be on the same team. They were happy to be together, but...

     "It seems like we won't be able to meet Freddy again..." Chica said sadly.

     "Ah, it's fine..." Freddy smiled.

     Bonnie rolled his eyes. "Calm down, Chica. Just because we're not on the same team doesn't mean we can't see him again."

     Foxy put his right hand on Freddy's shoulder. "Thanks for being a great comrade, Mate."

     Michael raised his head to see the trio. He pointed at an empty table. "Please sit over there."

     Foxy, Chica, and Bonnie went to the place Michael pointed at.

     "Next, Team 2. Toy Freddy, Toy Chica, and Toy Bonnie."

     The trio cheered. They went to the table Michael pointed for them.

     After those animatronics sat, Michael continued.

     "Team 3. Freddy, Golden Freddy, and Puppet."

     Freddy looked at Golden Freddy next to him. The yellow bear animatronic ignored him and his gaze was more focused on the animatronic on the other table.

     Freddy turned his head to see where Golden Freddy gazed at. On the table next to him, Puppet also gazed at Golden Freddy.

     Actually, it was hard to know where they were looking at. Because unlike other animatronics, both animatronics didn't have eyeballs. Their eye sockets were hollow, just pitch black.

     The three of them sat at their table. Freddy felt the tension between the two animatronics on either side of him.

     "Team 4. Balloon Boy, Mangle, and Nightmare."

     Balloon Boy and Mangle exchanged glances. They didn't really know Nightmare, and now they were on the same team as him?

     After Mangle, Balloon Boy, and Nightmare sat together, Michael rolled the scroll back.

     Now that they had become genins, Michael finally didn't need to teach them anymore, as it was now the responsibility of their respective jōnin leaders.

     Michael breathed a sigh of relief. He really needed some rest.
