The tournament is finally over! Time to go home, take a nap and Netflix and chill... Is what I would've said but school hasn't ended yet. There are four hours left till I can go home.

I swear time couldn't have possibly gone any slower. The Uchiha's fangirls are currently releasing a ton of killer intent in my direction and everyone is whispering to somebody else except for me. Unable to focus on teacher's lesson on sealimg objects I give in to my impulses.

I make a clone and henge myself into an ant. Escaping class, I go for some practical studies in sealing objects. I've decided fuinjutsu isn't my kind of thing to be specialised in. It gets extremely repetitive sealing items into scrolls though it is a pretty nifty skill.

To think it has barely been a month and I've already got a bad reputation. This is almost as bad as my past life.

I was pretty optimistic in my first week of joining the academy. But I couldn't fit into any of the groups so I just threw myself into training.

Shurikenjutsu was simple and easy to learn; hit the centre of the target more, get more control. An easy task to master unlike the mass of confusion that I associate with talking to other humans.

Frustrated with my train of thought, I can't even focus on anything properly. Before school even ends, I return home and brood in my room. During dinner my mum seems to have heard of me winning the competition and is ecstatic. My suspicions of how she found out is confirmed as my dad emerges from the kitchen, carrying a clay pot full of delicious soup.

Afterwards dad pulls me aside to have a talk about today. "Great work out there! Those tactics were gritty and intelligent although your execution needs work".

Nodding a silent agreement, he stops and looks at me knowingly," Don't mind what they think of you. They are the ones who will die if they keep thinking fighting dirty is beneath them. Out there no one fights fair and square".

Mentally exhausted I doze off on the couch, too dazed to even climb the stairs to my room.

A.U: I'm planning for the story to stay in the academy for a while. Hope you guys don't mind :3
