Thank you for sticking with me here. I've got my hands on another story and really can't update on time! But I'm definitely not going to dump this story! It's just not coming out as fast as it's supposed to!

~**~**~

Harry watched as planes whirled past him. Finally, he arrived on a land that has lots of buildings on it. Behind the constructions, he could see miles of pastures and lots of horses.

He looked at his schedule and saw that he had Balance as his first class. He blinked. He had never heard of any class called balance before. He shrugged of the name, getting use to the weird stuff around here.

Suddenly realizing that he doesn't know where to go, Harry felt full blown panic. He was sure that being late would not make a good impression. Fortunately for him, he found a map at the back of his schedule and saw where the classroom is.

He walked around the maze of the buildings and finally reached a huge building with a sigh saying, "Balance". Harry walked in, very aware of the butterflies in his stomach. It was a dark room with very dim light, making it unable to see most of the rooms.

Suddenly a voice rang out, surprising him, "So you're the first one here. Glad to see that someone has a knowledge of time."

He whirled around and faced with a man, leaning casually against a banister. He suddenly smiled and say, "I am instructor Raydon and who're you, young man?"

"Hello instructor. I am Alexander Klementine." Harry said, executing a bow.

The instructor nodded approvingly, "This is the first time someone new shows proper respect. I can see that you are going to be an asset in my class."

Harry blushed and muttered, "Thank you sir."

At this point, a group of students walked in, talking loudly. The instructor's face darkened and said, "There's no place for impolite people at this school. I hate newbies. They always have no manners. Except you of course, Alexander."

Harry blushed again.

When the rest of his year mates arrived, Raydon called attendance slowly, always asking personal questions to the ones who caught his attention, embarrassing them to hell.

Harry noticed that he seemed to go for those who are rude while he seemed to leave those silent people alone. He was glad that he managed to earn a few points in his book as Raydon passed him completely.

Once he was finished, he gathered the class to the front.

"Good morning! I am instructor Raydon, your teacher for balance. I am very strict but if you work hard enough, you can get a star from me. I especially detest those students who are rude, arrogant and disrespectful." At this, he glared at the group of people who came in after Harry. Some had the grace to be ashamed while some just glared defiantly back.

Harry felt sorry for those who glared. He knew that they were going to be in trouble.

"In this class, we're going to be learning how to do martial arts and how to keep your balance on every occasion. We're going to be walking beams and jumping on narrow platforms in the air when you get better. I would expect no inattentiveness in my class for you could hurt yourself. But if you do," At this, a truly wicked smile appeared on his face, "If you do, no one will help you."
