Mao Fitzgerald's POV

I heard that we'll be fighting monsters outside Dojo! I'm so excited and pumped up! I told Mike and Jeremy about this, and they also seemed excited too. We headed to our respective rooms and changed into our fighting clothes. 

"So! You seemed awfully chipper this morning!" Jeremy started.

I giggled, "yep! No more awkward small talk or "getting to know you" stuff." I said as I put out my Sniper Scythe, "today I get to let my sweetheart do the talking!" I snuggled my weapon. "Well... remember Mao, you're not the only one going through initiation. If you want to grow up, you're going to have to meet new people and learn to work together." He stated. "Ugh, you sound like our dad." I groaned.

"Ok, first of all what does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And secondly, I don't need people to help me grow up, I drink coffee!" I said as I crossed my arms. 

"But what about when we form teams?"

"Uh, I don't know, I'll just be on your team or something..."

"Maybe... you should try being on someone else's team?" 

My eyes widened, I walk up to him. "My dearest Senpai Jeremy, are you implying that you do not wish to be on the same team as me?" I asked. "W-what?! No! Of course I do, I just thought... I don't know, maybe it would help you brake out of your shell!" Jeremy put his hands on his hips.

"What the?! I don't need to brake out of my shell, that's absolutely ridiculous!" I yelled. "Ok! Ok! No need to yell!" He said, I calmed down and sat on Jeremy's bed.

Jeremy Fitzgerald's POV

The professor lead us to a cliff that has spring pads attached to it, we stood on each other's pads and listen to the professor.

"For weeks you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the forest. Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today. These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Dojo, so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well. 

That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner... for the next 4 years." 

"See! I told you!" A girl with dark blue hair said to the guy next to her.

"After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path, or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene." The professor continued.

"You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one, and return to the top of the cliff. We will regard that item, and grade you appropriately." He finished. 

"Are there any questions?" He asked.

All of us shook our heads, "Good! Now get into your battle positions." He ordered.

We did what he said, "Also, you need to be using your OWN landing strategy." 

I heard cracking noises and I saw the first five trainees get launched into the air, then there's this guy who is.... purple all over, who is launched into the air. Next is Mike, Mao, and me. We were launched high up into the air heading to the forest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Birdy no!" I yelled as I bumped into a bird. I threw my yoyo and it went around a thick tree branch, I landed on the branched and hopped to other tree branches. I landed with a thud and ran.

"Gotta find Mao~ gotta find Mao~" I said in a singing voice.

"Mao!!" I called.

'Ugh this is bad this really bad!' I thought.

'What if I can't find her? What if someone finds her first?'

Then I started to picture my thoughts, 'there's always Mike.... he nice, he's playful... and I like him.'

'Ugh! Okay... who else do I know in Dojo? There's Mike, Mao, and....'

I skidded to a stop and saw someone standing, it's a boy. He turned around and he was surprised, we stared at each other. His mouth then tugged into a smile, he looks familiar though. He has jet black hair, red eyes, and his wearing a muffler... just like me. I then realized that it was my old friend, way back when we were 5 years old. 

"Scott?!" I said.

He chuckled, "the one and only." I ran up to him and hugged him tight, "I missed chu so much!" I said. He hugged back, "me too." We pulled back and smiled, I noticed his height, he grew taller than me. "Wow, you grew taller than me, have you been sleeping a lot?" I asked. He nodded and we laughed together. "So, let's find some other groupmates!" He said. I nodded and we walked together, deeper into the forest.
