" Fool?" He seemed annoyed by that word, "If you sit around doing nothing, when you see bad things happening, it's the same shit as everyone else. I'd rather be a fool than a hypocrite who sits around talking about how bad everything is going." and he doesn't do shit to do things differently."
"..." She couldn't help but blink and look down, apparently she had misjudged the boy, "You are honorable, a virtue that many men have lost today, what is your name?"
" Uzumaki Naruto"
" Busujima Seako"
The boy looked hesitantly at the hand she offered him, but seeing no bad intentions in her gaze, he took it, returning the greeting in a gentle handshake.
Then they continued on their way, and although he was new to the school, he knew that this was not the route they would take to go to the address, instead they stopped in front of a room that had a red cross drawn on the door.
" Infirmary?" He asked confused as he looked at the girl who looked him in the eyes.
" Take care of yourself, I'll go talk to the director that all this was started by those fools and that you just wanted to help, to prevent you from being expelled in your first week of classes here."
"..." he hadn't expected that, "Thank you..." he murmured with his head lowered as he had been a little rough with her, knowing that now he would save his ass from being kicked out of the academy.
" No problem, although I would keep the fights to a minimum or at least make sure no one finds out."
" I will"
" Good," smiling, she ruffled the boy's hair, a gesture that even though it made him tense, he let her do it, "I hope to continue seeing you Uzumaki, stay out of trouble."
" I will do it Saeko"
" Straight huh?" He didn't mind that he called her that as if they were so close, he liked direct and sincere people, the truth is he really liked that type of people, it reminded him of his father, "You're a first year, right?"
" Yes" he had repeated a year and even when he was 14, he was in the group of 13-year-old boys, and since this year began it would seem that history would repeat itself, it wasn't as if he cared much.
" The Kendo club will bring out that potential that you have, it will also help you control that temperament that you have, it can straighten you out, help you be the best version of yourself"
"..." Naruto stared at the pamphlet the girl pulled out of the sleeve of her Kimono. A form to fill out and join the club she ran, "The best version of yourself? Good phrase."
" My father says it a lot, he believes that everyone has the potential to be exceptional in their own way, maybe this is yours, see you Uzumaki." Saying that he left, leaving the boy standing alone in the hallway, stopping with a sigh. of resignation entering the infirmary.
" Oh my God! What happened to you?!"
Shizuka almost had a fit that day when a boy appeared beaten up in her infirmary.
~~~~~~~~~~ • ~~~~~~~~~~
The sun was slowly peeking over the horizon, ushering in a new day. After some mishaps like Shizuka losing her keys, going to the bathroom, eating breakfast, etc.
The group had finally left the apartment, to go in the military vehicle for about 30 minutes until they reached the bridge where all the chaos of last night happened.
Being a large vehicle, it was not a problem to drive towards the river bed and over it to the other side.
Those who were still asleep were Kyoko, Yuuki, Takashi, Rei and Seako, the rest were awake, with Shizuka driving, Saya keeping watch with binoculars, attentive to anything unusual, and Kohta was with Alice singing.
"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the river, merrily, merrily life is but a dream~" Alice sang as the newly named dog Zeke wagged his tail happily listening to Alice as she sang. Kohta was also listening to Alice.
"That was great, Alice, do you want to sing it again?" She proposed the sturdy boy making the girl nod her head excitedly, "Let's sing in English."
"Yeah!"
"Let's sing my favorite song, Shoot, shoot, shoot your gun, kill them all now! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Life is but a dream~" he sang his version of the song making Alice clap happily.
Saya stopped looking around and just looked at the two of them with a blank stare, "What the hell are you doing?! You can't teach that kind of thing to her!"
"I think it's a good song!"
"Don't mess around Naruto! I don't-" The girl apparently hadn't realized that Naruto was on the roof with them the whole time, just that he was doing his own thing.
Saya blushed when she saw the bare-chested boy, swinging that wooden katana in the air, apparently training not to break his standard routine.
She couldn't believe that this boy could have such marked muscles, it seems that he had underestimated the training that the members of the Kendo club had, or this boy put a lot of effort into his training.
Naruto ignored Takagi's gaze, he was more focused on each blow he gave being stronger than the previous one, all to increase the strength in his arms and the power of his blows.
The movement of the truck was a good way to train his stability and balance, while maneuvering the sword, he preferred to use two swords, but he had to settle for only using one.
"Do you want a tissue for the drool?"
