A gentle breeze flowed through the open window in the room cooling it and bringing a calm feeling to him, his black bead star eyes stared at the boy asleep on a bed covered in bandages.
His eyes drifted towards a trash can in the corner filled with blood stained bandages, he didn't know exactly what the child had been though, but he made it out alive.
If barely at all.
But damn this child was quiet unique? He has never encountered a human let alone a child who could intake all that energy like he did.
So much so that they we're forced to seal a great deal of it away to keep the boy from exploding.
Th's seal was designed to limit the individual until there growth reached adulthood or there limits were broken.
So mysterious was the situation that they were forced to check if there were others who were able to enter this dimension.
He looked at the orange monkey doing pushups on his left, his count was already at 241,300. He shook his head, the boy should be waking up soon maybe they can see the cause of his arrival then.
It was interesting or maybe it's a blessing and a sign that it was finally time, after all it's been a very long time since they had anyone come here….

Green eyes flinched open before closing quickly again, then repeating to get used to the light of the sun brightening the room from the window.
"What a weird dream," Kazuki mumbled as he thought about the dream were talking animals in a pink room called him devolved.
'Wait pink room??.'
He sat there and just looked at the ceiling of the pink room, he noticed the bandages wrapped around him and felt that the pain was not as intense as he thought it would be?
He was shot, burned and if he remembered right he was drowning after the cliff gave away to a long drop before everything went black.
'Just another Tuesday.' Kazuki thought briefly, he didn't know what it was but he always felt these urges to say certain phrases he never heard before.
He just downplayed it too his memory lose, he should go into town and find a doc…
His eyes briefly flash red as he clinched his fist tightly, a strong rage bloomed in his heart, that fucking man in white!
Pain shot through him again which also caused him to calm down and start to think a little.
So… that happened, but how did he get here and where was here?
Kazuki looked around the empty room and noticed the two trophy's and three picture frames that lined the wall. He seen a couple pictures from the people who were nice enough to teach him so he knew at a glance what these photos were…
Advanced?
Hell it had even better quality than the ones he seen the nobles kids boasting about to there friends.
Kazuki looked at each photo and noticed the animals from his dream were in each one. They stood next to a younger boy or girl wearing the same uniform as the monkey but in burnt orange, each child had a different animal appendage like bunny ears or a tail.
"Hmm those are our students we are standing next too, dihedihedihe they were incredibly strong kids," a old man's laughing voice said from the window above the bed.
Kazuki whipped his head at hearing the sudden voice from above him and saw the previous orange monkey from his dream.
He was sitting on the window sill eating a bowel of rice, looking at the photos on the wall with a smile before he started stuffing more rice in his mouth.
"Students?," Kazuki mumbled looking at the monkey in question, wondering what they were taught and what a monkey could even teach.
The monkey was stuffing its mouth when it heard the mutter and quickly gulped the food down and then stared at him with excitement.
"Yes! We teach martial arts," The monkey said before setting his bowl down beside him. "You can call me ka-sensei by the way." He said before suddenly disappearing from Kazuki vision, startling him.
"The martial arts we teach isn't for humans but your very different, unique honestly," a voice suddenly said beside him.
Kazuki's head whipped to his bedside where he saw the monkey and turtle lounging comfortably in their chairs looking at him with amusement.
'W-when did h-he come in here?! And how did he disappear like that!', Kazuki looked wide eyed at the two in shock.
The monkey and turtle both seemed to smile at him before suddenly becoming serious as some answers need to be found out immediately.
Like how did he appear here?!
"So like I said you can call me Ka-senei and this right here," The monkey jerked his thumb at the turtle. "This is Kuri-sensei, so what's your name." The monkey said as he smiled at the boy.

Ka-sensei watched the boy fidget under their gaze, eyes darting from him to Kuri then to his lap before he took a deep breath and exhaled.
"K-Kazuki Tsu-uki," The boy stuttered out as he look at them with a nervous gaze. "N-no offense but animals talking and wearing cloths at that, is definitely a first for me,"
"Could you tell me where I am and how I got here?," Kazuki said as he looked at them more nervous than before, hoping they didn't take offense.
"Dihedihedihe""Gahagahgaha," Ka and Kuri both let out loud laughter, It truly has been a long time since they got to experience the wonder of a child.
"No offense taken Kazuki," Kuri said with a smile easing Kazuki's nerves. "To be honest we don't know how you got here? It shouldn't be possible for anyone or thing to come into this realm." Kuri said turning serious as he looked Kazuki in the eye.
"This is Negai no ryōiki or the realm of wishes in your language. It connects to a majority of universes but right now we are in a separate space while in it". Kuri said looking momentarily outside the window that showed a vast blue ocean.
Kazuki winced slightly as he sat up to look out the window. He was shocked at the beauty of the sea, momentarily letting his mind blank to take in the scene.
Kuri watched as Kazuki leaned back into the headboard and stared at what he thought was the sea. "It's not water."
Kazuki turned to look ar Kuri in confusion at the statement, of course it was water, it looked more beautiful than the oceans he sent but it looked roughly the same.
Kuri smiled still looking out the window, "This is why we're confused in how you got here, there is no physical, nor spiritual way to enter this realm especially going through the great blue as you have done".
"I found you washed up on this island when I detected a ki source awakening when at home." Kuri said tapping his fin.
"You were badly burnt with a hole in your shoulder and wood shanks sticking out of your back, you should have died honestly." Kuri said morbidly as he momentarily paused then turned to look at terrified Kazuki.
"But you did the impossible not once but twice, you not only survived getting here but the blue has changed you, in ways I couldn't have fathom." Kuri said as he locked his black bead star eyes to Kazuki's.
"Your body changed, hell it adapted to the BLUE, absorbing it and causing your locked ki to blossom brightly inside you. Your injuries were healed somewhat because of this." He said inspecting Kazuki's body.
"You should be fully healed in a couple days." Kuri said done inspecting him and taking some bandages off his face to show flawless skin.
Kazuki was shocked at this but as he clinched then unclinched his fist, he didn't feel any more powerful then he did the other day.
Ka noticed his actions, "You won't feel anything right now, we had to seal your KI since it was running rampant."
"What is KI and what is this BLUE?" Kazuki asked as he looked at the duo wondering if this was his chance to not be weak, to not be helpless to the danger around him.
Both Kaka and Kuri looked at each other then back to Kazuki, smiling at him.
"We have discussed this between ourselves before you even woke up but before we give you our answer, can you tell us how you ended up this way?" Kaka sensei said as he looked at Kazuki.
Kazuki nodded then took in a couple deep breaths to process what happened to him and tell his short story.
He didn't fully trust them, but so far they have been extremely nice to him, and even seemed interested in teaching him!
"Well it started when I was five, I think?"
