After breakfast, the three had enough time to grab their backpacks from their room before heading to math class. The lessons were a bit more complex for their age group but they were expected to learn it. Senichi didn't have any troubles since he had died when he was seventeen years old. Also, after Tsutomu had found out about The Truth, he taught Senichi some high school senior level lessons from time to time. The same thing applied to science and history, though for history, Senichi actually had to pay attention since he didn't know everything about the past.

Lunch was when the trouble began. For lunch, the three were served a slice of toast, a hard-boiled egg, a cup of green beans, and a cup of the same nutritional drink they had been given at breakfast. They were just minding their own business and consuming their meal when a group of fourteen and fifteen year olds approached their table.

"You should respect your betters," The apparent leader snatched up Brendan's egg. "After all, you're newbies so you should give us your food,"

"Give it back," Senichi demanded. 'How dare you steal their food!?'

"Oh, are you their older brother?" The leader mocked. "What will you do about it?"

"I said," Senichi stood up and glared straight into the leader's eyes. "Give. It. Back!"

The commotion drew the attention of the other children as well as the adults overlooking the place. "Let's see how they'll deal with this," Jenever prevented anyone else from interfering. He wanted to see how well the three fought.

"What are you going to do about it?" The leader smirked.

'I was told that violence is never the answer, but since this is the organization and this guy is pissing me off…' Senichi reeled his arm back.

But it was Harimanna who struck first. She launched herself at the leader and knocked him down to the floor. Her hands automatically wrapped around the older boy's throat and tightened enough to cut off the teen's airflow. The other members of the boy's gang tried to pull her off their leader but that triggered Brendan and Senichi to step in. They wouldn't let those bastards harm Harimanna.

Seeing that Harimanna was actually going to kill the boy and not wanting to deal with the paperwork involved with a murder incident, Jenever finally stepped in and pulled her off. "You three did good,"

"She tried to murder me!" The leader screamed.

"That just proves that you're weak," Jenever scoffed. "All of you guys are. These three arrived just last night. They're also malnourished. You guys have been training for years, yet you lost to them. If I hadn't intervened, you would be dead,"

The three ate the rest of their lunch in peace.

After lunch was English Language Arts. It was a bit different from the way it was taught in England's public schools. In the organization, English Language Arts was meant to improve observative and deductive abilities. They had to pay close attention to tiny details and come up with the correct conclusions and the right actions to take. Senichi actually enjoyed the class because the skills would be useful in the future.

In Japanese class, Senichi had it a bit easier due to his Japanese lineage and his father's teaching. He tended to confuse hiragana, katakana, and kanji, but he did speak the language fluently. He assisted Brendan and Harimanna. German was their first language and English was their second one. But they eventually got the hang of it and was able to do the work themselves.

Marksmanship class is when Senichi really started to struggle. He had a terrible aim. Despite the fact that he was trying his hardest, he still scored the lowest points out of everyone. Harimanna on the other hand was a natural talent while Brendan scored a bit above average. 'At least I don't have to worry about those two,' Senichi thought. 'Though, I need to get better. Right now I'm dispensable. I need to become a prized operative. I need to prove my worth in order to survive alongside Bren and Manna,'

Combat training was next. Jenever was the one in charge of instructing that class. Everyone was put into pairs to spar and Senichi was up against the leader who had disturbed their lunch. "I may have underestimated that girl, but I won't lose against you!" The boy lunged at Senichi.

'His movements are slow,' Senichi dodged the first attack. 'It's as if everything is playing is slow motion,' He dodged the next one. 'I'll bring him down with one strike,' He closed his eyes and channeled some of his bear traits into his arm but not enough to show a noticable difference in his arm's appearance. He dodged the incoming attack and slammed his fist in the boy's chest. 'He's nothing compared to Mad Dog Arena!' "I won't lose to the likes of you!"

"Don't you ever mess with us," Brendan and Harimanna had also easily defeated their opponents.

Jenever knelt down and tapped the boy's cheek. "He's out cold, though judging from his breathing I think you broke some of his ribs, NFL,"

'Is he still seriously calling us by those names?' Senichi's eyebrow twitched in annoyance and he restrained himself from talking back to him.

Dinner consisted of a hotdog, a cup of broccoli, three saltine crackers, and a cup of the nutritional drink. Nobody messed with them during this mealtime. The three kids ate without interruption. They savored the explosion of flavors in their mouth, enjoying the food that they were given. Senichi's body was a bit tired from using his bear attributes but the food allowed him to regain his energy quickly.

Survival skills taught them the basics. They learned how to start a fire, how to find fresh water, and all those things that one would learn in the scouts. They were also trained to lie and how to detect lies as well as how to act. Lying was an essential skill to fool enemies. Convincing lies could help save your life.

During personal time, everyone rushed to the showers and bathrooms yet again. Once they were all done, they returned to their quarters to complete their homework. "This isn't as bad as I thought it'd be," Harimanna said. "I can live like this,"

"It's definitely better than Mad Dog Arena," The six year old agreed with his sister.

"It's not like we have a choice even if we don't want to live here," Senichi added. "We won't die, not in here," 'I won't die until the organization is brought down! I'll make my way up the ladder and destroy it from the inside!' Being rescued by the organization may have devastated him at first, but he decided to look on the positive side and use his new situation to his advantage.
