First Day of School
Zatch and Zeno started training after their 2nd Birthday and learn the meaning of hard work immediately.
They would start the days off with laps.
...in that time line...
Zatch and Zeno were at the training hall where their trainer was waiting.
"You boys start with laps for the next hour!" their trainer shouted.
"How many?" Zatch asked.
"As many as you can do within the next hour, and no stopping except for a quick drink of water!" Their trainer shouted.
"That's not right!" Zeno shouted.
"GO!" their trainer shouted and blew his whistle.
...out of time line...
Zatch and Zeno manage to pull off 50 laps in the hour.
They were given 15 minutes of rest before having to do target practice.
…in that time line…
Zatch and Zeno were surrounded by targets, some were moving.
"Now I want you to hit each of these targets with your Zaker," their trainer responded, "Zatch first!"
"But!" Zatch said.
"GO!" their trainer shouted.
'Zaker' Zatch shouted taking a deep breath and fired golden-yellow lightning from his mouth.
Zatch hit one of the targets dead on.
"Yeah!" Zatch shouted until their trainer hit him on the head, "Ow!"
"Don't celebrate until you hit all your targets!" their trainer shouted, "Zeno your up!"
Zeno grumble and aim with his hand.
'Zaker' Zeno shouted.
Silver-white lightning fired from Zeno's hand and hit the target.
"Listen you two if you only hit one target at a time you'll never be able to hit all your targets now go and try and hit multiple target!" their trainer shouted.
...Out of time line...
Target practice continued for hours.
After another 15 minutes of rest they practicing using their mantle, then spar.
...In Time Line...
"Now I want you to spar, against me!" their trainer said.
"Wait you're an adult how are we suppose to fight you?" Zatch asked.
"Find out how by sparing me," their trainer said.
"This seems so much for just training," Zeno said.
"GO!" their trainer shouted.
...Out of Time Line...
After sparing they run laps again.
They finally go to bed with aching muscles just to wake up to do it again.
As soon as they adjust to their training regimine began, or most targets were destroyed, the ammount of time in each training excercize is increased and new targets are added, and sometimes the number of targets would increased making it harder for them.
…12 months later…
Zatch and Zeno were resting in their bed.
"Zatch Zeno wake up," their mother shouted.
Zatch and Zeno got up reluctantly thinking it was time for training.
"Come on boys, you don't want to miss your first day of school!" their mother shouted.
"Oh that's right, we start school today," Zeno said.
"Yay, school," Zatch shouted.
Zeno and Zatch got dressed and rushed down the halls into the main dinning hall.
"Here you go young princes," the chief said serving breakfast.
"Yay," Zatch responded and started eating.
"Boys, a reminder that you both will be attending different schools, and you'll each have a guard escort you to school," their mother said.
"Why do we need to go to separate schools anyways?" Zeno asked.
"Your father thought it would be good experience for both of you to attend separate schools," their mother responded.
"I wish Zeno can attend the same school as me," Zatch said, "I won't know anyone from school."
"Don't worry about it Zatch, you and Zeno will be able to make friends," the mother said, "Promise me boys that you'll try to at least make one friend."
"We will," Zatch and Zeno responded.
"Prince Zatch come, you don't want to be late," the guard said.
"Yes sir," Zatch responded.
The guard escorted Zatch through town.
People stared and whispered about seeing Zatch.
Zatch look around curiously.
"This is your first time outside the palace right your highness?" the guard asked.
"Oh, uh, yeah," Zatchs said.
"Well welcome to the outside world of the mamodo world," the guard said.
"Thanks," Zatch responded.
Once at the school Zatch was escorted into the room.
"Everyone, today we have a new student, the young prince of the mamodo world, everyone welcome Prince Zatch Bell," the teacher told everyone.
Few clapped seeing Zatch.
"Hi everyone," Zatch greeted.
"Sir, why does the prince of the mamodo world have to attend our school? Doesn't he get private lessons?" One kid asked.
"Show your respect, King Bell arrange this for his son, and we have an honor to have him here," the teacher said.
The teacher look around for a seat and saw one next to a pink curly like hair mamodo, and knew that mamodo wouldn't give Zatch problems.
"Why don't you sit next to Kolulu there," the teacher said pointing at the mamodo.
Zatch nodded and headed to his seat.
"Welcome to our class," someone said.
Zatch turned to see Kolulu looking at him with a smile.
"Thank you," Zatch responded.
"My name is Kolulu," Kolulu introduced herself.
"Zatch Bell," Zatch said, "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you two," Kolulu said.
Zatch and Kolulu talk a little before class started.
Zeno was with his instructor at his school.
"Okay kids we'll start off with 20 lap run," the instructor shouted and blew his whistle.
Most of the kids groaned and started running an exception of Zeno.
"Zeno, may I ask why you're not running?" the instructor asked.
"It seems pointless to me," Zeno explained.
"Care to explain mister?" the instructor asked.
"My brother and I already can do 100 laps in an hour from training at home," Zeno explained, "And around the palace."
"Well this isn't home young prince and I was given specific instructions to have you do what the other students do," the instructor shouted, "So move!"
Zeno muttered a few things and started running laps.
Sure enough, in half the time of the other students, Zeno already completed 20 laps and walked off.
"Where are you going?" instructor asked.
"I already completed my laps," Zeno said.
"That maybe so, but your other classmates are still training," the instructor said.
"What do you want me to do then?" Zeno asked.
"Sit down and wait, just like everyone else, we'll start sparing next," the instructor ordered.
"Zatch I hope you're having a better day than me," Zeno thought.
Zatch was sitting in his seat talking to Kolulu.
"Hey Prince!" someone shouted.
Zatch look to see it was another girl with dark pink long hair with a red and light pink dress and red shoes standing there.
"I want to warn you, if you plan to make friends in this school, you don't want to act weak and pathetic," she explained, "In this school, your position in class marks in your skills, and who you hang out with."
"Um thanks, but I'm not worried about position in class," Zatch said, "I just want to learn and make friends."
"What?" the girl thought.
"Tia don't mess with that guy," a student shouted to the girl.
"Alright," Tia responded and turned to Zatch, "Just remember what I told you."
"I'll remember," Zatch said.
Lunch time came and Zeno snuck out of his class and decided to check on Zatch.
"Hopefully I can find Zatch before the school noticed I was missing," Zeno said.
Zatch and Kolulu decided to eat outside for a bit.
Zatch noticed Tia was chasing a mamodo child with a duck bill on his face.
"Zatch don't," Kolulu responded.
"Sorry Kolulu but I can't stand bullies," Zatch said getting up.
"GET BACK HERE KANCHOME!" Tia shouted chasing the child.
Kanchome tripped on the rock.
Zatch jumped in front of Kanchome in defense.
"Zatch, what are you doing?" Tia asked.
"I'm protecting Kanchome, I can't stand bullying," Zatch said.
"I'm warning you Zatch, protecting someone like Kanchome will just lower your standards," Tia said.
"I don't care, my mother taught me to never bully anyone, and to protect those being bullied," Zatch said.
Zeno arrived and saw what was going on.
"Zatch I don't want to hurt you," Tia responded, "Get out of here."
"Funny, because it seems Zatch can do more damage than you," someone said.
Zatch and Tia turned to see Zeno standing on the tree.
"Zeno what are you doing here?" Zatch asked.
"I thought I escape military school and find out what you're doing," Zeno said.
Tia look at the twins confused.
"Hey girl!" Zeno shouted.
"What?" Tia responded turning to Zeno.
"I wouldn't bully around us if I were you, my brother may let you off with a warning, but I won't," Zeno shouted with ruthlessness in his voice.
"Yes sir!" Tia shouted in fear and ran off.
"Zeno you didn't have to scare her," Zatch said.
"Something had to be done," Zeno said.
Zatch turned to Kanchome who had passed out from fear from Zeno's threat as well.
"Oh great, he's out cold," Zatch said.
"Seriously, no wander that girl was bullying him," Zeno responded.
Zatch pick Kanchome up and carried him over his shoulder.
"Zeno I'm taking this kid to the nurses office, you go back to your school," Zatch said.
"Fine," Zeno responded and jumped off.
The day went by and Zatch made friends with Kanchome and Kolulu.
Finally it was time to go home.
"Hey Zatch, why don't you come with me home," Kanchome said.
"Sorry, I can't, I got to go home for some training," Zatch said.
"Oh alright," Kanchome responded.
Zatch met up with the guard and they headed home.
"Meru meru mey!" someone shouted.
Zatch heard iut and rushed to the sound.
"Prince Zatch!" the guard shouted.
Zatch found a horse mamodo was trying to help it's father.
"What's wrong?" Zatch asked.
The horse mamodo tried to scared Zatch off instead of telling him.
"Hey what's wrong?" Zatch asked.
"Schneider, behave," the mamodo's father said, "Sorry, but I need to ask you a favor?"
"Sure what is it?" Zatch asked.
"I was bitten by a deadly snake, I need anti-venom, but Schneider can't speak yet, so he can't get what I need by himself," Schneider's father explained.
"Prince Zatch," the guard shouted.
"Sorry, but I need to help this guy out, he needs medical care!" Zatch said.
"Okay relax, I keep first aid on me just in case something like this," the guard said.
He gave Schneider's father a shot and helped him to the castle's private hospital.
Zatch and Schneider waited for care.
"Zatch, the guard told me what happened," Zeno said, "Any word?"
"No," Zatch responded.
Zatch's mother came out.
"He'll be fine, thanks to you Zatch," she told them, "Schneider I'll call your mother here so she can visit."
"Meru!" Schneider responded.
"Schneider I'm happy your dad will be okay," Zatch said, "I know we had a rough start but I like that we be friends."
"Mey," Schneider responded.
"Okay Zatch, you and Zeno waited too long, now go off training," their mother explained.
Zatch and Zeno were escorted to the training hall as Schneider watch.
A/N: Next 3 chapters would arrange where it's one year after another. Meaning in this chapter Zatch and Zeno are 3, next one will be when they're 4 and meet Rein and Penny. The next one they will be 5 and Zatch and Zeno learn of the power they inherit. The chapter after that will be the day before they leave for the battle to decide king.
Oh yeah before I forget, I decided that Zatch will only loose conscious when he uses Bao Zakerga, Jio Renzo Zakerga, and Shin Berwan Bao Zakerga. This way he be more aware what his other spells are doing other than Rauzaruk and Baou Kurou Disugurugu.
