Chapter Four: Fights and Fluffs

America's POV

I think I have made a horrible mistake.

Unfortunately for me, I said that last part in earshot of our power training teacher, and he did not look amused. He made his way to where I stood. He was HUGE!!! This was the first person I've seen in my entire life that was taller than Russia, and by an entire foot too! His flag was blood-red, with an orange fist on it. He was broad-shouldered, and his muscles stood out, well defined by the tight orange t-shirt he was wearing. He also was wearing sneakers, sports shorts, and a training whistle. This guy looked like he meant business!!!

He bent over and asked me a question with a quiet tone that did not in the least match his physical appearance, "Young man, did you by chance say that my class was going to be easy?"

When I heard his polite words and gentle tone, I relaxed and immediately felt more confident. This guy probably only looked like a tough guy, but I'd bet he was a softie on the inside. "Yeah, I did, in fact."

"What's your name young man?"

"My name's America, nice to me-"

He suddenly lifted me up by the collar of my shirt, I squeaked in surprise. "ALRIGHT SCRUBS!!!" He thundered out. My friends took a step backwards in shock, and from my new height, I noticed that three more countries had joined. Probably the other students. The teacher continued, "LET ME SET SOME THINGS STRAIGHT! YOU ONLY HAVE MY CLASS TODAY, THE REST OF THE DAY WILL BE SPENT GETTING TO KNOW THE ACADEMY GROUNDS BETTER!!! I KNOW YOU ARE EXPECTING TO BE LET OFF EASY ON THIS FIRST DAY, AND BE TAUGHT 'RULES' AND 'PROCEDURES' AND ALL OF THAT SISSY STUFF, BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY I ROLL!!"

"No kidding." I whispered under my breath, however it was not quiet enough, and he heard me. He glared at me, and I realized that I had probably made my first enemy, not even half an hour from when we got off the bus. 

"TODAY YOU ALL WILL BE SHOWING ME YOUR LIMITS AND POWERS, NOW LINE UP!!! NOW!!!"

He said that last part with a roar, punching out his arm for emphasis. Sadly for me, I was being suspended from that same arm, and I jerked forwards harshly.

 I felt queasy.

 The nine other countries in the class quickly sprang into a line. I noticed Russia was glaring daggers at the teacher.

 'Aw, does Ruski liiike meee?' I smirked.

"SOMETHING FUNNY SHORTY???"

"N-no sir!" I stammered out.

"GOOD. NOW CLASS, I AM YOUR TEACHER MR. BRUTE. YOU WILL CALL ME 'SIR'! TODAY I WILL GIVE YOU EACH CHALLENGES TO SHOW ME YOUR POWERS AND STRENGTH AS WELL AS CONTROL. NOW, EACH OF YOU STEP FORWARDS ONE AT A TIME AND GIVE ME YOUR NAMES AND POWERS!!! YOU FIRST SMARTMOUTH!!!"

"America, I'm a shapeshifter. sir."

"Show me your true form."

Rats. I sighed and took off my sunglasses, exposing my rapidly changing eyes. He dropped me on the ground, and I morphed into my true form, losing the wings I decided to have at school today. Like my eyes, my true form changes rapidly, flicking through all 50+ of my states and territories. Two of the new guys burst into laughter, and I flushed angrily, embarrassed.
