Komatsu and I arrived at the martial arts university. We entered the building and he took me through the paperwork process in a small office. When I got to the home address information, I looked at him and asked, "What do I put as the home address? I don't have a home." Komatsu was flipping through a cabinet as he answered, "You'll be living with me in my home until you have enough money to live by yourself. Though with how much I'm paying you, you should have enough once you get your first paycheck." Komatsu helped fill me in the rest of the paperwork, and he got it turned it to the correct department.

It was finally time for work. He took me to a gym, where we found some Saiyan students sparring. Komatsu and I approached the group of Saiyans and he announced to them, "You four! Stop your sparring with each other. Here is our newest martial arts instructor, Hikaro Ruko. Please show respect to him." The four students bowed and I said in a relaxed tone, "Hello, I'm a new instructor, and I'll be teaching you how to earth bend and metal bend." Komatsu turned to me and instructed, "Before you can teach anyone, I need to see how you fight with your abilities. Pick a student to fight."

There were two female students and two male students. The first male was about the size of and appearance of Goku, only a bit slimmer. The second male was about Vegeta's height and build, and had crazy spiky hair that was rather messy. Then the first girl had long hair tied into a ponytail that reached her ankles. She had side swept bangs and was toned. The second girl had curly pigtails and big square glasses, she was more toned than the other girl and had some fairly sized muscles. I made my decision. "I pick her." I pointed to the girl with long hair. Komatsu nodded his head and said, "Sophia! Alright then. Everyone, give them some space."

Me and this Sophia girl got into our fighting stances. She stayed low and began moving around me, looking for an opening. I looked her in the eyes, kept my head lowered and fists up at eye level. This was the first time I'd fight a woman that wasn't my mother. I could see the fire in Sophia's eyes. She was the first to attack. She circled around me so quickly, pushing me off my balance and elbowed me in the back of the neck. I ended up almost falling over but staggered and sort of regained my balance. She quickly grabbed me from behind and literally flipped me over, smacking me to the stone tile. And then it hit me. This gym has earth and metal. I could definitely win this fight if I used my surroundings to my advantage.

I slid in a 360 low kick to Sophia's ankles and she slipped to the ground. She was surprised by the low hit but as soon as she was about to the hit the ground I earthbended a sharp long chunk of earth to hit her back and send her flying to the air. The I teleported above her and fired a green ki beam at her straight on. The green ki beam pushed her all the way to the other side of the gym and she crashed into the wall. The entire wall was broken, she grunted and was going to get up but I then raised the chunks of broken wall into the air and fired them at her. By the time she was getting up I had hit her in all directions with those chunks of wall. She was blown away and slid across the ground. She was bruised pretty badly, teeth gritting and anger in her eyes. She yelled to me, "So this is what you meant by "earthbending"! What else do you have up your sleeve?" I smirked and cracked my knuckles, toying, "Why don't you come and find out?"

Her right eye twitched and then she began to power up. "HAAAAAAH!" The whole gym shook from her power. The lights on the ceiling began to shake and some of them exploded, making the gym go dim. The other students were amazed at her power, but Komatsu simply watched with a concentrated look on his face. I prepared myself for her next vicious attack. She was stomping her way towards me, but then she opened her mouth and a ki ball was forming in her mouth. The huge ki ball was about to blast off towards me, but at the last second I metal bended my armor towards her and wrapped the armor around her head. There was a huge explosion that made the whole gym almost collapse on itself. Komatsu protected him and the other students with a energy shield. I was blown away from the explosion and hit the wall behind me. After the dust and debris died down, Komatsu immediately ran towards Sophia to her aid. He tried feeling if she had any energy left, and she did - but barely. Komatsu yelled to me with an angry voice, "Hikaro! Get over here!" When I realized what I did, I ran over there as fast as I could. I asked frantically, "Is she okay!?" Komatsu barked at me and yelled, "Take this armor off her head. What the hell were you thinking!?" The other students looked concerned for their dying classmate. I immediately metal bended the armor off her head. She looked like an absolute mess, to put it lightly. Her whole head had third degree burns. Komatsu looked at the other students and commanded, "You three! Take her to the emergency room next door! Right now!" They all freaked out but quickly did what they were told. The two male students picked her up and the female student opened the door for them to take her out the room.

I knew that I was in big, BIG trouble. After the room was just the two of us, Komatsu turned to me with suppressed anger on his face. I blurted, "I didn't mean to -" "What were you thinking during that battle, Hikaro!? If her blast was even the littlest bit stronger and you were to do that, you would have killed her! It is a miracle that she is even alive! Did you even think about it before you threw your armor over her head? And you were being way too rough on her! You were supposed to show me your skills, NOT fight like your life depended on it! Kami, what will my superiors think about this!" I didn't know what to say. I just stood there with my head down. I asked quietly, "Am I….fired?" Komatsu snapped at me, "After all that, that's the first thing you think of!? You're only thinking about yourself! I know you have potential, Hikaro. And you would be a great asset to the university...IF you didn't try to kill your students! I need time to think." He walked off in a hurry and slammed the doors behind him. I stood there, feeling terrible for what I did. I didn't even know what to do, but I wanted to be as far away from this place as possible. I ran out of the gym and out the university.

I was back to square one. Homeless. I was panting and felt major anxiety stuck in my chest. I felt fear, fear of being alone again. On the streets. Alone. I fell to my knees and began to sob. What was wrong with me? People around on the sidewalk were looking at me but continued to pass by. I didn't know where to go, but I knew that the city wasn't the place for me. I flew into the sky and fled from the city. Maybe being alone was the best. Because it seems that wherever I go, all I do is cause harm to people. Am I a bad person? I knew that I wouldn't get anywhere in life at this rate. I knew what I had to do.
