It was in our classroom that two-thirds of the class were gone a soon as the words, 'Anyone with below and 81% on their written test can go home, unless they have special permission to stay.' coming aloft over our heads. Many sad, disappointed faces came from the failures. I had wished desperately that Tomoko was one of them, but people know she gets the grades and she's only in this class because she got kicked out of all the others for abusing the other kids. You know, I'm kind of glad she made it this far... almost. Why? Well, that's simple. This is my chance to shine and take her out.
Well, anyway. Sakura-sensei soon spoke up. "Alright. The first part of the Physical Examination will begin momentarily. Although right now I will go over the two phases." said Sakura-sensei; she smiled at me as I nervously tuned in. "Phase 1 shall be team duel, then we will go out to play a mass tournament of Thoroughfare Recreation all over the village. Remember that this 'game' counts for 15% of your grade. Anyone and anything can be used or abused in this game, including Kekkei Genkai, Clan Jutsu and Ultra-Sensory Jutsu. Any basic jutsu you have learnt will also be usable. Now, I know if I resrict you from using it you'll cheat anyway, but there is jutsu for that. Unfortunately, for a 12 student class, it's not practical or efficient for me to use it anyway. That's it everybody…
I will call down the first students for the Tag Team battle, and you will be taken to the gym with the other 2 teams following. I take it everyone is sitting with their teams? I will call the first team going from my right to your right."
"Team 1: Uchiha Tomoko, Akimichi Chomi, and Yamanaka Inomi."
I looked to the horde; they looked excited.
"Remember that this is not your permanent team, daughter of mine." said Sakura-sensei; the three looked to her glaringly. "The next team…"
I was first to be called out of my team, so I hoped for the best.
"Uzumaki Kotori, Nara Shikashi, and Hyuuga Neji."
At that moment, I had felt a mixed-sense of self-loath, angst, and happiness. For the self-loath part, I felt like if I let everyone down, It'd be on my head. I mean, how would I even beat the weakest of the three? As for the angst part, I had expected the worst possible outcome; my fear for backing out and running away with my tail between my legs was getting the better of me. Finally, for the happiness, I felt like I would finally have a chance to beat them, even if I didn't actually beat them. With the boys on my side, I got it made. Shikashi is smart, and when he's fighting, even his laziness doesn't get the better of him. He's easily the strongest of the group. As for the weak link of the group, Neji's still quite powerful with his Byakugan and Gentle Fist Techniques. He's come so far! As for me, if I get Chomi, then using my genjutsu will be a piece of cake. I have a jutsu that will throw her off BIGTIME. But there's one problem… and that's Tomoko.
You'll see what I mean…
"Everyone else must come and watch from the sidelines." said Sakura sensei.
I had no idea what was in store for me…
…
Sorry about the chapter length… the first chapter was only to start off the series, so naturally I made it longer.
If this is okay with you, then cya, bye!
