《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 3 :The Beginning of a New Journey (Re-Edit)

"Yoshi!" was all this person had said. I didn't recognize him at first, but when he tried to kick me , I knew who it was. I easily deflected his kick, and said. "What are you doing here, Hartsen~Sensei?" and he laughed. "Oh, you know, doing my monthly checkup, the government sent me here to check on you, I heard you have your exams as well, so I'll help you prepare! How about it?" and I planted my foot on his face. "No can do, perverted hermit. I already know everything that is coming in the syllabus, but I just need a bit of help understanding more about this.. Soul Emifer, as Jennifer calls it. While you are at, care to explain about the feud between the SPIRITS, and the government?" and he chuckled, and patted me on the head.

"Don't worry, all will be explained in due time. I've came just to check on your progress. Since you already know everything happening in the exams, I'll spend my week long trip here checking on your skills, we can train more with your Soul Emifer when we are back at the training hall, in America." I then jumped on my bed, threw my book on my face, and closed my eyes. "Hey, hey whats wrong?" Hartsen~Sensei said. I moaned. "Nothing, I'm just tired," and I went to sleep.

When I woke up, I saw Hartsen~Sensei smiling, next to the aparment door, and said, "You should always be ready, what if an enemy is with you while you sleep?" and I then noticed that all around me traps were set. "Also, after every 10 seconds, I'll shoot an arrow directly at you. Consider this as stage 1 of your training. Since we have a week long of testing, I'll do one every day, so that I don't put alot of pressure on you." and that relieved me, I wasn't prepared to spend my time wasting around with these lousy traps. I easily maneuvered my way past the traps he set up, without needing Yagrik.

He then shot an arrow at me, and I yawned. While it was travelling towards me, I grabbed the shaft, and stopped in the midst of its flight. "Come on Hartsen~Sensei, do something more fun than this." and I then managed to get to him, I took the book he was reading, and then incinerated it. He then started weeping. "Wh..wha...why?! It was the newest one, and I payed a subscription for it! That costed me 1,500 yen, 1,500! Now what am I going to do?" and I looked at him with no expression. "Maybe you should stop reading these novels, and think of a way to interest me, well, I'm going back to sleep now, if you have anything you want to tell me, tell me now." he didn't respond, so I went back to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of the door being pounded on. "I'm coming, I'm coming , calm down will you?" Apparently Hartsen~Sensei had left, so I had to do this myself. When I opened the door, I saw a kunai pierced me. I coughed out blood. "Gah! What was that for... Hartsen~Sensei?" and he smiled. "Remember what I told you, and what you replyed with? If you want we can play like this." and I smiled, saying, "Hehe, I'll get you back for this, you perverted hermit," and I fell as I fainted from the blood loss.

I woke up in my bed, and Tou was sitting besides me. "Wh..what ... happened?" and she looked at me, seemingly tired. "Nothing much. I came to ask you about something, but when I opened your door, you were on the ground, with blood flowing out at an alarming rate, so I patched you up and now you're on your bed." I then tryed to sit down properly, but I felt an aching pain. Tou then made me lay down again. "Now now, we don't want your wound to open up again, just lay down for a while, you should be better in a few hours." and I moaned. I then said, "Okay, so what do you need help with, anyways?Oh, and where is Jennifer?" and she laughed. It was cute.

"Oh, I came here just to ask you about a few pointers on Binominal Theroem, I still don't understand it that much, and Jennifer has dissappeared after that incident in the basement." and I then asked her to ask me what she needed help with. We spent about an hour or two discussing abotu Binominal Theroem and how it works, it's functions and whatnot, but she seemed exhausted, and I felt like the wound was gone.

I then tried to stand up, and , just as I thought, it didn't hurt anymore. I took off the bandages, and I saw that the wound was healing at a very fast pace, faster than normal, which peaked Tou's interest. "Oh? Well then, that is a bit more, interesting. You need anything?" and I shaked my head. "No, no, I'll just make myself some tea, and then I'll start devising a plan for something, more Private ." and she seemed eager to know. "Oh? Tell me, tell me!" but I couldn't disclose the secret.

She had to go, so I said my goodbyes, and she left. The exam was going to start tomorrow, may as well revise, I thought. I then looked at my books, and did a quick skim. "Okay, okay. This is going to be easy." and I went back to sleep, and I dreamt about a situation in which me and Jennifer were to fight, but in a more... ominous ... place.

I then woke up at 4 AM, as school starts at 6. I packed my things, took a shower, changed clothes, had breakfast, watched a bit of TV, and then left. When I went to school, it was 5:30 AM, but something seemed a bit... off. When I first went into the school, it was empty, there was nothing at all, everything was clear. I stood around the ground for a owhile, and I saw people smashing their heads into the 'invisible' wall.

Then, I heard a voice on the loudspeakers. "Well, it's that time of the year, the exams! Now, since this time the exams collide with the monthly tests, we decided to have a bit of fun, so everything is clear, except your papers, and the people. You are to travel to the examination hall, which is on the 3rd floor, the only room there is. You all have 10 minutes to go into the hall, else you'll be given a straight 0. Have fun!" and with that she jumped, all the way upto the 3rd floor. I was thorougly impressed.

After she jumped to the 3rd floor, most of the students just went into the staircase, crazy as heck. A few people tried jumping, but they couldn't go as high as Tou. I decided to take the easy route to this. I then called out Yagrik, and creating myself a platform, and then rised the platform up to Tou's level, and then dropped myself onto the invisible school. I already know the layout of the school, so it wasn't that hard to find the room.

When I first opened the door, I noticed that it was the only room that wasn't invisible, and in there , so far there was only me, Kuiy ,Jennifer and Tou. "Yoshi!" I said , and they murmmered the same thing, except Tou, who seemed pleased. "I knew you were going to make it up here! But what amazed me is Kuiy, he managed to get here before me, I wonder what skills the man has." after 10 minutes, 8 more boys managed to show up, and then the doors closed.

"Okay! That marks the end of this month's challenge, now, let the exams begin! You have until 10 AM to complete them, you may start ... ... now!"

I then opened the first page, and started writing everything in seconds. It took me only 10 minutes to complete it, then 5 more minutes to re-check it. After that, I had nothing else to do. After half an hour , Jennifer put her pen down, but the others continued to write everything down. I didn't see Kuiy , however. I then looked at this seat, and his exam was right there, in a neatly stacked pack, and ontop of it , he wrote a small note in Japanese saying, "I'm in the washroom"

It hit 10 AM and the only people who managed to finish it was me, Kuiy, Jennifer and Tou, but she too, just barely did it. The others had atleast 5 pages left to complete, so that was a big kill on there marks. The teachers than took the papers, and dismissed us, and Kuiy seemed to dismiss with us. "Just where were you, Kuiy?" and he looked down, saying only a few words. "Washroom, sorry." and he left, without notice.

Before we left, since this was the last day before our summer break, which lasted a month, I said to Jennifer and Tou my goodbyes, telling them I have to go to USA, for a vacation. Tou seemed to understand, and Jennifer didn't really like it, probably because she still want's to kill me. Before I left, though, Tou grabbed my arm and said, in a cute tone, "Uhm... Arigato," and then let go. I blushed a little , but then I left. I then went back home, packed my things and then hitched a ride to the airport. "The airport please," then the driver looked at me with a smile. "Okay, okay, Johnny," and I was impressed. "Ah, so it is you, Hartsen~Sensei, let us continue this back home, shall we?"
