          I was told that Kyukyoku’s freshmen opening ceremony would be unlike anything I have ever seen, so far my mother's statement is upholding. The auditorium is bigger and grandeur than anything I have ever seen. The stage area was like smooth white beach sand and the seating area was a sea of light blue waves which seemed to go on forever. The walls were painted bright white with a hint of emerald green and royal blue for the designs. The designs on the wall were nice but a little random, but on the ceiling I saw something truly spectacular.
     In well defined colors, the schools four great mascots were depicted magnificently on the ceiling. Their  beauty is literally indescribable. On the right was a bold warrior with white and blue battle beaten armor and a fierce sword at his side. The mascot next to him was a beautiful maiden in a purple and black rose dress. Her beauty made it hard to notice the two blades she held in her hands,(and for some reason there where times I thought I saw more than the two in her hands). Next to her was a small elderly man with a plain gray and white suit and a large book in his hands. The last guy was a complete mystery to me, for he wore a very average black and white, had on a pair of average glass, and had no visible weaponry, but for some reason he seemed to be stronger than the rest.
     I wanted to stay and continue to look at the magnificent mascots, but a big burly guy, who I assume to be a P.E teacher, handed me a pamphlet and told me to go have a seat. Although, that was easier said than done with all the kids in the way. I had to push and shove my way through huge hoards, but when I finally found a good seat I saw sights most kids only dreamed about. There were popular bands and several well known celebrities appearing on the grand beach sand like stage putting on short performances and giving quick speeches about their high school experience at Kyukyoku.  The performances were nice, but their speeches were incredibly dry. They were purposely leaving out a lot of important information about the school's special events. They were insistent on only talking about general things such as basic classes and regular clubs, but the worse part about their speeches was the fact that they all sounded so scripted.
    After the speeches, the nominated strongest freshmen and two guys from the judo came out to give a demonstration. The NSF,(nominated strongest freshmen), looked like a normal wealthy Kyukyoku student, but I knew he could not have possible  been nominated the top freshmen by being merely rich. After all, the ones who nominated him apparently were the Main Heads of the school and they strongly oppose those who simply boast money around. I heard from my mother, that they once expelled twelve kids from some of their sponsors family because they were too weak.
    Though by looks alone the kid looked like a text book example of a sheltered brat. The supposed number one warrior was a short kid with light red hair. He stood a few feet behind the two guys in fighting attire. He wore a blue and plaid Brioni suit with a Patek Philippe Minute Repeater Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar 5016R watch and Burberry leather wingtip brogues. I could only tell because my foster father, Mr.Toyotomi, constantly talked about saving money to buying expensive things like that. Though his plans were halted when my mother found out how ridiculously high the price was just for the watch. You could literally buy two houses and still have a lot of money left over with the amount of money it takes to buy the items that kid was wearing. I simply could not believe this guy is wearing such expensive items to a mere high school entrance ceremony.
    The guys in front of him where getting ready to start the performance when a strange guy in first row suddenly jumped out his seat. He had bluish green hair that hung to his shoulders and wore a white and blue Kyukyoku uniform. According to the pamphlet, his uniform was that of a freshmen. The kid started walking towards the stage with aggression written all over his face. He took off his jacket in preparation for a fight.
   The two guys change their attention from each other and started stare at the approaching stranger with a clear look of confusion on there face. They then looked back at their leader for confirmation to attack if necessary. He nodded his head, signaling them to detain the strange boy. On that simple command they charged the poor kid. I stared at the kid as if I was about to witness a massacre take place and of course I assumed the kid was the one about to receive the pain. Instead, I was shocked when he judo tossed and swiftly elbow dropped the fighter to his right. The fighter who charged on the kid's left side was completely stiff with shock. Although that not stop the young warrior from toppling him over before he went to approach the nominated strongest freshmen in Kyukyoku.
          The unknown warrior had the eyes of a conqueror who finally found one that could properly entertain him. The school's strongest didn't have the same wild eyes. His eyes were calm. They showed that he thought his opponent was nothing more than an oblivious firefly approaching a flame far hotter than it could handle. Suddenly, the silence was broken when the firefly ran straight into the flames. As expected the little fly was overwhelmed. First the kid swung with a dazzling right; which the warrior caught with his left with relative ease. The warrior the swept the kid off his feet with tremendous ease. He then knee dropped the kid in his chest sending a frenzy of pain throughout boy's body. Instead of removing the knee he dug it into to boy’s body while constantly hitting him.
