Tsuna let out a sigh as he flopped onto his bed, going back to school had been more exhausting than he'd thought it would be. The sky couldn't help the grimace that made its way onto his face as he thought about the latter half of the school day. He hadn't actually seen anything amiss, but he'd heard the distant sounds of a fight. He just knew that his two elements had been going after each other, the only thing that had stopped him from heading out to break up the fight was his intuition. According to it, the fight hadn't been as bad as it could have been, which was mildly worrying.

"Why did you even bother coming here when we're supposed to train in the woods soon?" Reborn inquired, smirking at his student's woes. The other looked tired, but that wasn't a good reason to skip Tsuna's flame training. The training was both for his sky's health, and fighting prowess.

'He wasn't so bad with school before he stopped going... Maybe the problem is readjusting to it. So in other words, skipping school isn't beneficial for Tsuna'

Face down on his bed, the teen let out a low growl of defiance, he didn't want to move. He just wanted to lay in bed and recharge his energy.

The hitman rolled his eyes "Act like an intelligent being and use words" Tsuna had no disability that would make it hard to do so, thus noises weren't a valid response or answer. At least not in this case.

'Pity won't help him succeed'

Tsuna lifted his face up from the bed, looking miserably tired with blood trailing from the corner of his mouth "I don't want to use my flames today" He was already so tired.

Reborn clicked his tongue "Get up Tsuna, you know that you need to use your flames to their maximum output" He hopped on the bed, nudging the other with his food. Since Tsuna wasn't arguing due to laziness, a proper kick didn't seem warranted, yet. The teen was obviously genuinely tired.

Honey narrowed into slits "What if I puked on you?" The hitman was close enough that he'd at least be able to get his shoes. Probably.

"Then you'd have to clean it up" The hitman refuted "We both know how much of a pain it is to clean up blood, especially from fabrics" His inner flame lashed around worriedly at the prospect of Tsuna vomiting blood again, though he made sure to keep his reaction off of his face "You need to re-balance your flames"

'Though he does seem more unwell than usual today...'

The sky dropped his face back down onto the bed, arms tensing as he raised himself up a bit before sagging as he lowered himself back down "Today is a really bad day Reborn" Normally he would have hidden himself away by now, but he'd promised not to. It also didn't help that he didn't have the energy to do so anymore "Every once in a while I feel worse than normal" He bit his lip "I'll just let the pacifier take my flames today" To counterbalance his high flame production.

Reborn sighed, fedora tipping to hide his face "Fine, you can have the day off Tsuna" It was disappointing that his sky had bad days like those with other serious illnesses sometimes had.

'To be willing to feed his pacifier again... I hope he starts to feel better soon'

Shamal clicked his tongue in annoyance as he read the results of the newest blood samples that he'd been given. The structure was a lot less stable than the previous ones had been, that didn't bode well. He just hoped that it wouldn't be more volatile than before, maybe if they were lucky, it'd actually end up being more helpful.

'I hope this doesn't negate any progress that I've made'

Even though he hadn't actually made that much progress, the little he had made would hurt to lose. He'd put in a lot of effort, and he did choose to be a doctor after all. Even if he killed people on the side, it would go against his pride to fail after putting in actual genuine effort.

Ie frowned, confused. How was looking after and teaching little kids supposed to help him train? He wasn't good with kids, so it felt awkward to be around them, especially when they kept looking at him as if he could solve their problems. Yeah, kiddie math was easy, but he felt like they were expecting more from him. Though that might only be part of his imagination, it was hard not to look too much into things when the person who told him to be here was Fon.

'I must be missing something, Fon wouldn't have me doing this for no reason'

Was he supposed to learn better patience or something? Having to calm down a little girl after she wet her pants had tested his patience after all, so maybe that was it? But that seemed almost too easy...

"Ie-sensei, how do I do this?" A young boy showed his sheet of addition questions.

The lightning made himself smile as he knelt down and began reteaching addition to the boy. Expressing negative emotions around children so young wouldn't be good, what if they started crying again?

Fon smiled as he watched his student struggle to deal with 20 children, it was amusing to see the boy flounder whenever one of them cried.

'While waiting for the next lesson to be ready, Ie is learning other things in the meantime. I highly doubt that he'll be able to figure out what the main lesson will be until it has already passed'

This specific mountain village was a unique one, everyone here knew about flames. They were part of the mafia, but just barely due to blood relations. They'd been informed for their own safety and brought here, a move which Iemitsu should have done years ago if he ever truly cared about his family. Fon stifled a chuckle as he watched Ie hurry over to a boy, snatching the glue stick away before said boy could put it in his mouth.

Me: So Tsuna isn't feeling well and we got a check in with Shamal~

Fon has also set 20 young children on poor Ie... I would hate to be in Ie's position >^<

Hope you enjoyed~

0.0 Pie or cake? I like pie most since cheesecake is amazing~

Yes, cheesecake is actually pie... I guess it's called that because cheesepie doesn't sound good...
