Classes starting
Akane POV
Shanks rushed out of the room as soon as homeroom ended unsurprisingly (obviously due to his sudden reuniting with Yuki). I saw Yuki calm down when he left, that was a good sign.
What surprised me though (A rare occurrence for me) was that the red headed girl left the room too. "Where's the ginger going?" I questioned the others. "Nami is our Navigator! Shishishi!" Luffy answered. This wasn't the answer I was looking for and I showed my confusion plainly on my face. It seems a dark haired girl caught sight of this and continued to explain, "For most classes we have an extension class. These classes are usually for the crewmembers that specify in that role. For navigation we have Nami, fighting we have Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, for sniping we have Usopp, Cooking is Sanji again, Medicine is Chopper, History is myself, Carpentry is Franky and finally Brook is Music." "Umm…ok." I muttered. I still wasn't sure who was who.
Again, she practically read my mind's confusion. She stood up (at a surprisingly tall height) and began, "Apologies for not doing this earlier, my name is Nico Robin, I am 19 years old. The girl who left earlier was Nami, she is 17 years old." The others started to stand as well each giving their brief introductions. "I'm Cutty Flam but call me the SSUUPPEERR Franky! And I'm 19." A blue haired pop-eye like man posed. "I am Brook, 87 years old but I ate the yomi-yomi no mi and have become a skeleton, by the way," He turned towards Yuki, "May I see your panties?" That was a bad question; in less than 5 seconds he was bombarded by storm clouds lashing down razor sharp icicles. The introductions continued. "Tony-Tony Chopper! 14 years old!" a cute little tanuki piped. "I'm Sanji my fair maiden! I am 18 years old!" A blond boy sang as he danced around Yuki, she apparently didn't mind. "Call me CAPTAIN USSOP! I'm 16." A long nosed boy announced. "Roronoa Zoro, 18." Zoro muttered avoiding eye contact with Yuki.
Of course we already knew about Zoro, Yuki and I are well informed about him and the other junior supernovas.
An old man with a shaggy beard walked and sat down at the desk, I presumed he was the teacher so I sat in my chair properly (aka take my feet off the desk) and waited for his instructions. None came. I waited for another 5 minutes until I decided to ask him when the lesson would start.
"Old man, are we gonna start before I die of old age?" I asked (not so politely but hey, a girls got a reputation to make) "What? Oh we have new students, sorry." He spoke in a croaky voice and walked over to the chalkboard to write his name, "My name is Mr. Shepard, and the textbooks are in the cupboard at the back of the room." He stated then sat back at his desk.
"In this school most classes are just a bludge, you only need 1 person in your crew to be good enough to pass." Usopp continued to explain as he turned around to face Yuki and I. "Why is that?" Yuki questioned. "The end of term exams are set as actual pirate situations, you only need about 1 person who knows what they're doing to be able to direct the rest of the crew." Usopp finished. "Ok, it seems this school is not an uptight ass like my last one. Good." I replied as I sprawled my legs over the desk again.
"Also can you explain the age differences and the whole term thing?" Yuki asked. "Sure, as Akane already stated, this school is a bludge, not a tight ass per say, all years of high school are basically squashed into one year, you have people ranging from about 16-19 here, Chopper is an exception because he's a super genius for his age. To answer the 2nd question the year is split into 4 terms of roughly 9 weeks, it varies. In between each term is a 2-week holiday." Usopp justified. "Thanks mate." I replied, he nodded to me and began drawing in his book.
I placed my arms behind my head and tilted my chair back to try and catch up on some sleep. After about 10 minutes I started to actually doze off.
The bell rang which meant the hour was over and it was time for next period. "Yuki, what class is next?" I asked, too lazy to check myself. "Tactics." She hissed, she was never one to plan ahead. I silently chuckled at her antics and grabbed my timetable from my desk and quickly checked if we had a room change. Nope. Same classroom. I placed my timetable back down and continued daydream.
"Akane, c'mon we have to go to our next class." Yuki prodded at my head. "But my timetable says this is where my next class is…" I growled, annoyed at her poking. Large gasps were heard around the room from the rest of the strawhats. I popped one eye open to see what the commotion was all about only to see all their stares were directed at me. "What?" I asked rudely. "What result did you get for the tactics exam?" Chopper shrieked. "I dunno, doesn't matter." I shrugged. "The results of the opening tests are in your folder, let me check." Yuki said as she grabbed the black folder on my desk, "Fighting: 94/100, ooh you just missed out on fighting extension you need to get 95 or higher to get into extension classes." Yuki noticed my anger "B-b-but look on the bright side! You scored higher than me by 4 points and only 1 point less than Sanji…Lets move on, Navigation 9/100, wow, really?. History 12/100, Sharpshooting 91/100 impressive, Music 87/100 Akane I never knew you were into music! Medicine 43/100, Cooking 68/100, Carpentry 29/100, Trapping 75/100 and finally the test we've all been waiting for…Tactics 100/100!" Yuki announced, I had mixed emotions about the results but everyone else had their jaws hitting the ground (Except Robin).
"Wow! No one has ever gotten 100 on the tactics test before! It also has the least students in that class because it's that hard to pass the test!" Usopp exclaimed, the others nodded in agreement. "Yosh! Now we have a 100 scorer for almost each subject! Akane you're now our tactician!" Luffy decided, "Now all we need is our Trap setter person." "Umm…" Yuki began, "I got 100 for the Trapping test, I guess I could be your spy since I'm very familiar with stealth and capturing." "Shishishi! We have a full house now!" Luffy cheered.
The crew left the room and I was left sitting in the back seat of a silent classroom, needless to say, I was bored. The door creaked open and in stepped a tall dark haired boy who was wearing a fuzzy hat with a strange spots, a yellow and black hoodie and some jeans with matching spots. He walked in and sat next to me but I don't think he even realised I was there. "Yo" I greeted, he didn't seem startled by my presence but instead looked at me with grey shadowed eyes. "This class is tactician extension." He spoke. "Duh, that's why I'm here," I quipped. He nodded and rested his elbows on his desk with his hands clasped together; I took that time to examine the tattoos on his hands until curiosity got the better of me and I started to continue asking questions, "Akane, you?" "Trafalgar Law." He replied calmly. "What d'ya get on the test?" I continued to probe. "99/100" He smirked. "Pfft, only 99? I got 100" I bragged "Impressive indeed, however I received a score of 100 for several classes which include Medicine, Fighting and I am in the Captain class." He responded with the smirk still placed on his mouth, but his answer got me curious about one of the subjects he mentioned.
"Captain class?" I asked. "A class separate for captains only, no entrance exam is needed, only the rank but you get beaten up and kicked out if your not strong enough for the class. There are 9 of us but there are 2 others who are welcome sometimes, all of us are over level 100 miss level 99." He replied coolly, I decided right then that I didn't like the guy, He was almost as cocky as me! ME! "Well I'll just get into the class later!" I huffed, new goal for this school 'Receive a level above 100, enter the class and prove this smirking idiot wrong.'
My train of thought was halted when a large round man walked into the room, he had bald dented head and wore ugly round sunglasses and a tacky suit. "Hello class. I am Dagama-sensei known as the best tactician of the Prodence Kingdom." I will be your teacher this year. He went and sat at his desk "First up the role, Akane?" "Here" I mumbled. "Law?" "Here" "Kuro?..." there was silence "The so called master of a thousand plans Kitty Kat was beaten up by the strawhats a few months ago and don't bother with Lacuba, he left the school in to become a pirate 6 weeks ago." Law informed. "I see. Ok to begin I will hand out 2 sheets of a situation your crew needs to face and you will have to write me a plan to face or escape the problem."
He handed us each a sheet. It was a simple enough task of escaping a hostage situation. I pulled my hood over my head so it covered my eyes and began to simulate the situation in my mind. I answered with a brief 400 words of what to do after 20 minutes of thinking and 10 minutes of writing. I looked to my right and noticed Law was on 3 pages already with his face practically stuck to the desk. "A little short don't you think?" Law whispered as he continued to write. "Keep It Simple Sweetheart, haven't you ever heard of the KISS strategy?" I hissed back. "A kiss you say? Please teach me." He smirked at my face when it turned to a colour almost matching my hair, he was now finished writing and was eye level with me. I just growled at his response and went to hand up my sheet with him doing so as well.
After about 15 minutes of scanning Law's work he began to speak again. "Formidable work as always Trafalgar, although I think there is a slight problem with entering the room without a form of defense, other than that I can see this playing out very well in a real life situation." "Thank you Dagama-sensei." Law said politely before taking his sheets back. Dagama gave a skeptical look at the short passage in front of him before beginning to scan it's contents. Within 3 minutes he had finished and a look of shock was on his face. "I honestly cannot find a single problem with this plan, you even have a backup option and yet you only wrote half a page." "As usual." I announced before snatching up my work and grinning cockily down at Law. "I underestimated you Aka-ya, but this is only one thing you have proven to me, don't expect me to hold back in this class anymore." He said in a monotone voice, I huffed and sat back down in my seat before getting back in my usual position. "I'd like to see you try, and don't call me Aka-ya." He nodded and even though I closed my eyes I could basically hear the devilish smirk once again.
5 minutes passed in silence after Dagama said we were free to do what we wanted for the rest of the lesson. Law was reading a book from what I could tell from the sound of flipping paper and I just casually daydreamed.
When we got up to leave the classroom to got to recess I noticed we were heading to the same locker area. As turns out his locker are only a few away from my own. I put my books in my locker and grabbed 500 berries out of my bag. "If you're buying lunch then good luck." I heard Law chuckle sadistically before he rounded the hallway and was out of sight.
I continued to contemplate his words until, "DEATH FROM ABOVE!" a loud booming and familiar voice called out. The shock from the sudden noise caused me to accidentally activate my devil fruit and unfortunately squeak. Before I knew it 2 bodies laid sprawled at my feet face down. I quickly looked around to check for any bystanders that might have heard my embarrassing squeal and when I decided the coast was clear I turned to face the 2 guilty idiots I called my cousins. "Luffy~! Yuki~!" I sang menacingly. "I-I'll buy you food!" Luffy said as he trembled fearfully under my gaze. Yuki held her hands up in defense "I'll do your homework for a week!" She squeaked out. I nodded and grabbed their hand and pulled them up. "Lets go get some snacks now shall we?" I hissed. "Sure! We can sit with the others!" Luffy laughed and I rolled my eyes. "We didn't even get to grab you, we just went through and hit our heads on the ground…" Yuki muttered. "It's the thought that counts." I replied and patted her shoulder rather roughly. Yuki continued to sulk the rest of the way until she suddenly had what appeared to be a moment of realisation. "Oh! Akane! I just remembered I wanted to tell you the greatest story that happened in class! I'll tell you after school." I nodded and the three of us continued to the cafeteria.
FINALLY! That literally took me ages! Well anyway guys, what did you think? Thank you for waiting (I'm such a procrastinator) Also don't forget to check out the owner of Yuki, she is writing her own fan fic very similar to my own so if you want to find a much better version of this story then go here: u/5275688/gummibear7688
