It was a peaceful morning in Ninjago City as Kai, now wearing a red hooded jacket, maroon shirt, brown jeans and black boots, and Nya had just arrived at the monastery and open the gates before Wu came up to them, obviously wanting to open the gates himself. "Ah, morning, Kai." He said. "I see you've brought Nya with you."

"She wanted to." Kai replied. "Can't really blame her."

"Okay, we shall start with the usual routine. Nya, you can watch if you like."

"Can't I train too, Master?" She asked.

"Well, uh, only for a little while."

"Yes!"

"And we have until 7:30 to get back to the academy for our first class, so we'll have to keep it short." Kai said.

"About that, I decided that since you're all a team, I thought I might have the others enrolled into the academy so that they could get to know you and your other friends better." Wu replied.

"Okay. Though I think Cole isn't gonna be happy about this."

In the forest, just outside of Darkley's Boarding School, many Skulkins were moving wood, vines and branches around as the two skeletons that brought the telescope into Lloyd's office were near a watch post, keeping a look out. "Kruncha, I don't get it." One of the skeletons said. He had a blue chest plate on. "Lord Garmadon is about to invade Ninjago, yet he instructs us to make this playhouse for his son?"

"It was his idea, Nuckal." Kruncha replied. He had a samurai helmet and a brown chest plate. "Besides, it's best to have a fort built and alert Lord Garmadon in case-"

"Hey!" LJ yelled, cutting him off as they look down to him. "If we plan to rule Ninjago from here, this elevator needs to have a trap door! I want more booby traps!"

"As you wish, young Garmadon." Nuckal said as they soon took off.

At the monastery, Zane, in his training gi, was meditating by a support post while Kai, also in his training gi, blocks a kick from Cole, who was in his training gi as well, before grabbing hold of the other foot and twists it, spinning him around before he lands on the ground. Cole quickly spun around, getting up at the same time, hoping to kick him, but Kai quickly jumps back before turning to see Nya, who makes a kick at Jay, also in his training gi, who quickly grabbed it. "Okay, you just need to widen your leg out, makes it easy." He said as he slowly backed away and Nya held it out wide.

But while Kai was distracted looking at his sister, Cole spins and kicks him in the back of his right shin before moving it up, tripping him and knocking him down, causing him to groan. "Kai!" Nya yelled, before she and Jay came up to him as he got up, rubbing his sore backside.

"Nya, this is a training session, you cannot interfere!" Cole yelled.

"That's enough!"

"No, now get out of the way!"

"Cole, she said enough." Wu said as he came up to him before checking his watch. "Training is done for today." Kai, Jay and Nya bow to him.

"But we still have half an hour before-" He turned to see the others were gone. "Where did they go?"

Several minutes later, outside Ninjago Academy, Cole, now wearing a dark grey sweatshirt, black track pants and black trainers, ran up to Kai, Nya, Jay and Zane, who were about to head inside. Zane was now wearing a white hooded jacket, light grey t-shirt, cream colours chinos and brown loafers. "Come on, Cole, we don't wanna be late on our first day." Jay, now wearing a blue jacket, white shirt, blue overalls and blue sneakers, said as they head inside.
