A Seeker's Journey Of Transmigration

Chapter 22: School

Dandin looked through the board and tried to find others from Class A13, he saw a few names he didn't recognize scattered here and there. He also found Azariah's name. He was in Class S2.

He searched for over thirty minutes until he ran out of time. The bell rang and students all moved towards their respective buildings and classes.

Dandin, naturally, went to building A. It was a massive building, ornately decorated, and made of high-quality materials. He found the map of the building and located room 13. It was on the main level towards the west side. There were 20 rooms on the first and second floor.

"Forty total advanced classes," Dandin observed to himself. Of course, this building was reserved for the third year. Like Mujin and Matsuri had told him the school received a large number of students every third year. School only lasted for three years as well. At the end of three years the students would move into specializations, continue their academic education or if they were over 14 when they graduated be moved to the regular shinobi forces, Genin reserves or country militia.

With a quick step Dandin arrived in his classroom. There were already a dozen students in the room, including Miko!

She sat in a middle row near the window. Dandin immediately walked towards her and took the seat next to hers.

"Good morning Dandin," Miko greeted with a smile.

"Morning Miko, what a surprise we're in the same class."

"We're not the only ones, Taki and Takeshi Suiren are also in our class. You can read everyone's names on the roster."

Dandin nodded, "I'll be back then."

He walked to the front of the door and quickly scanned through the list. There were twenty students. The first thing he noticed was that the majority of them were from clans. The largest three clans, the Nagare Clan, Hono Clan, and Mizuhiki Clan, had a few students each. There were several students from minor clans like Dandin and Takeshi and lastly there were a few civilian children like Miko.

Dandin memorized everyone's names and walked back to his seat.

Soon enough, Taki and the rest of the students filed into class. Taki sat next to Dandin and the three settled in for the first lecture. They waved at Takeshi, who waved back at Miko but glared at Taki and Dandin. Taki scornfully remarked, "That arrogant guy still can't accept you're better than him." All the other kids were unfamiliar to them.

Over the last year Dandin's relationship with Takeshi had become cold. He'd been the star of the neighborhood until Dandin came along and Takeshi never forgave Dandin for that. He also had a crush on Miko, but she'd stopped playing with him when he began to mistreat Dandin. Thus, the wedge was formed.

The final warning bell rang, the clock turned to 8AM, and their teacher entered the room. He was a tall man with black hair and a long scar that started from his forehead, went past his left eye, and ended at his cheek. It gave him a fierce look which strongly contrasted with his warm smile.

"Hello class, I'm your teacher Mr. Masaru Fujimoto. We'll be together for the next three years so let's work hard to get along. Everyone, please introduce yourselves. We'll start in the front."

They followed Mr. Masaru's instructions, and each student took turns to introduce themselves, as they did, Dandin inspected each of them. His conclusion was that this was a strong class. Everyone had Chakra quality between Light Green and Dark Purple and a healthy amount of chakra, but that wasn't the full story. Their talents were the main thing Dandin looked at.

<Business Genius> <Advanced Luck Glow> <Perfect Memory> <Advanced Water Affinity> and many more strong talents appeared before his eyes. The list was long and filled Dandin with envy.
