Finally, classes will start today! Even though I was committed to start SSBA classes, I was already running late. On. The first. Day. Tokuta had already left since I was still asleep when I should have awoken. He may be my closest friend, but he's also a smartass prick. He didn't even bother to wake me up. "Crap!" I blurted out. I struggled to put on the uniform that the academy provided us for the freshmen. I didn't bother to eat breakfast, so I bolted out of the dorm. I ran as fast as I could through the hallways to my first class hoping that I won't be that late.

I eventually made it, but thank God that we were just setting up things in the classroom.

"Well look who's somewhat late. You missed helping us out," Mr. Armada stated.

Everyone in the classroom looked at me except Tokuta. I swear this prick doesn't even care. I became a little agitated, but none the less it's Tokuta's nature.

"Well, be glad that we hadn't actually started class yet. Take a seat," Mr. Armada insisted.

I sat down on the chair next to Tokuta. "Look who was almost late to class," Tokuta remarked. "Shut the hell up," I replied. "You know, of all classes that you were nearly late for, it had to be Armada-sensei's," Tokuta said. "I didn't know he would be our first class! Had I known, I would have been extra sharp and woke up early," I replied. When everyone in the class seemed to settle down, he began to take attendance.

After the very brief attendance, Mr. Armada began to speak, "Now with that out of the way. I would like to talk to you about this class. This class may seem like a run of the mill daily academy period. I'd like for you to realize who is attending this class to teach all of you. Once that sinks into your head, then you will not take this class lightly." The work I've seen from Armada-sensei is no joke. He knows how to handle a class. Especially with students like us. "Now then, welcome to my class. I am Mr. Armada, a Bokushingu-shin; and you are one of the very few honor students to attend one of the Five Bokushingu-shin's classes."

A student raised a hand in the classroom. "Yes?" Armada-sensei said. "Why aren't the Bokushingu-shins just called Melee Gods?" Well I mean. . . Isn't this academy a- "This building is a Japanese-based oriented academy. Of course we'll be called the Bokushingu-shins."

Huh. Well, alright then.

"A Bokushingu-shin is, as one of your students just mentioned, a Melee God. Now for a teacher, the 'God' in our title sounds a bit oversaturated. So with the praise from many students and people outside the academy, the 12 Circle Student Council decided to make our titles the Bokushingu-shins," Mr. Armada stated. The 12 Circle Student Council? Our seniors must make one hell of a council. "Now, as a Bokushingu-shin, I will teach you with the best of my abilities. And I do expect you all to follow my word. I hope you stay the same with the other four Bokushingu-shins."

Tokuta called out Mr. Armada and asked, "Can we just start the lesson already? Everyone in this class should already know who you are and what we'll be doing in this class. Cut the crap and get straight to the point." Well, you know Tokuta, if you blurt out at him like that you'll- "Why- Straight to the point? Well then, I appreciate people like you in my class. Who are you exactly?" Mr. Armada said. "Tokuta Kabute," the redhead replied.

Wait- what?! How can he just- . . ? Forget it.

Armada-sensei never struck me as a history geek- well, at least the academy's history. Wave Dashing was a thing before it was forbidden, L-Cancelling, even the days of the 64 Era, Melee Era, and even a Brawl Era! Man, the students that Mr. Armada mentioned in the Brawl and Melee Era sounded really cool. Too bad they left. Eh, maybe there's a chance they'll come back. At least some of them. The other classes we had were just regular geometry, Japanese history during the feudal era, biology, all that basic stuff. None of the other Bokushingu-shins taught us as of today, just Mr. Armada.

As we walked down the halls of the academy, Tokuta grabbed my attention, "Kyoto, I hope you know that you will have to train very hard for our encounters with the other students. Especially the All-Star studen-" I cut him off, "Yeah- Yeah the special students and Miis- I got it." Suddenly, Tokuta's voice went dead straight to the point, "I'm being very, very serious about this." Tokuta gave me a sharp glare.

". . . Wow. For someone as laid back and serious, I've never seen you this serious," I remarked. I didn't know Tokuta could be like this. Is he really that devoted to this academy? "Look, I gotta go somewhere before it gets late. I'll see you at the dorms by nine," Tokuta hastily stated. It's only three. . . What does he have to do this early in the day? Before I could even ask him, Tokuta sprinted off in a different direction. Well it's a Friday, so I guess it could make sense. . . But it's still awfully early for him to do something that late and urgent on a Friday. Then again, this is Tokuta I am friends with. I probably shouldn't even be sticking my nose in his business. Even if I tried, Tokuta would always be one step ahead of me.

It was already past five. Not that much had happened since Tokuta was gone. I just sparred with some of the other students in the academy. They all head really unique attacks that surprised me very much. I guess this is what Tokuta was talking about. Training. He wasn't kidding about the other students- and I haven't even sparred with one of the All-Star students! But luck was on my side. A white winged angel walked into the sparring grounds of the academy. "Huh, they changed the look of the Battlefield! Looks like Skyloft and Skyworld," Pit exclaimed to himself. Pit is exactly what I needed. Not new to the academy, but also not that experienced either. I called over to Pit to grab his attention. "Huh?" Pit mumbled. He then walked over to me and said, "Hey. . . I know you! You're the guy from earlier when I was with Rock! I never got your name."

"Oh, well my name is Kyoto," I answered. "Nice to meet ya', Kyoto!" Pit said in a rather cheerful manner. "So, what do you want man?" He asked me. "Well, I was just sparring with the other students here on the Battlefield, I was hoping I could battle with you! I was astonished with your fight with Mega Man," I answered. "Well, I got nothin' else to do as of right now, so let's do it!" After we briefly shook hands, we walked opposite ways on the For Glory One on One section of the Battlefield. When we face each other on opposite ends, a hologram shows up for the both of us. It asks me to input my name, and my dormroom. Once we put that in, the intercom on the Battlefield starts to count down.

"THREE!"

I ready myself.

"TWO!"

I get into an offensive stance and so does Pit.

"ONE!"

"Come to me, great sword!" I shout.

"GO!"

"Xeno!" I called out my weapon. It resonates and then materializes within my grasp.

Suddenly, I hear the sound of something angelic. It was Pit's arrow. I wasn't fast enough to react and dodge, so I blocked the attack with my sword instead. Before I could even take a step forward, Pit flew towards and swung his Sacred Bow at me. I had a hard time blocking them with my sword before I was knocked back. I kept my blocking formation at a stand still. Thankfully, Pit jumped back and that gave me an opportunity to strike back. Before Pit could shoot an arrow at me whilst in the air, I slashed my sword towards him. Since I attacked afar with my sword, the blade resonated and created a wave slash; reminiscent to Zero's Hadangeki.

My attack pierced through Pit's arrow and landed on the white angel. He flinched, so this was my opportunity to use my sword. Once Pit fell to the ground, I jumped towards him and swung my sword down on him. Pit quickly reacted and rolled out of the way, and shot an arrow on my back. "Agh!" I grunted. Damn, for a safe spar, that hurt! I stumbled forward from the force of the arrow. "Upperdash Arm!" Pit shouted. I wasn't fast enough to turn, so heavily relied on my counter-ability. My timing was now on par; I had countered Pit's attack with a back sword slash. That knocked him back, so it was my chance to end this.

I dashed towards Pit, who was about to get off the ground. Before he could even get up from laying there, I point the tip of my sword to his face. "Fair game," I said..

"THE WINNER IS. . ."

"KYOTO!"

The intercom was very, very loud.

Once we had finished, I heard the sounds of clapping and cheering. It wasn't as big as Rock's and Pit's fight; it was just a small crowd. I seal away my sword before helping Pit up to his feet. "Wow, I didn't know you were that good!" Pit said. "Me neither, I'd honestly thought you'd win the match," I added on. "Woah really?" Pit said shockingly while placing his hand behind his head. "Well, I've never really used my sword on a real person, just holograms," I stated. "Well, anyway, good game!" I added on. We shook hands before parting the Battlefield.

It had been almost two hours since my match with Pit. It's around eight and Tokuta isn't here yet. For someone like Tokuta, you'd think that he'd be here earlier than the designated time he'd be back. Yet, he's still out. I'm already in my dorm just expecting him to walk in like the smartass prick he is. Then again, he's probably doing productive and intelligent. We're both pretty smart for the academy, but his diligence and intelligence surpass mine.

Yeah, he's probably doing something productive.

It was a very dim room, only the pulsing white lights on the bottom of the floor provided a source of light.

A white hooded figure with a white long coat walked up to a mysterious man in a throne.

The white hooded figure kneeled before the man in the throne. "So. . . The boy. . . What is his current self like?" The man in the throne asked.

"Well. . . He's about as average as everyone else," the white hooded figure replied. "Then there's no need for his elimination. Only the All-Star students need to be gone and that'll be over-" the white hooded figure cut him off, "With all due respect, that's the problem, your majesty. He's just as average as everyone else. His potential, however, is much, much higher than his current being. So much that it could surpass the All-Star students- even mine."

The room became dead silent, but the man in the throne started to speak.

"Is that so? . . . Well then. He will be the main target. The All-Star students and Miis? We'll use them as exploits for his demise."

The white hooded figure pulled on his hood slightly down. The man in the throne could only see a strand of red hair. "Understood," the white hooded figure replied.

The man in the throne began to chuckle. It then began a very. . . Distorted laugh.

Blue aura began to resonate from the man in the throne. . . His presence gave the man in the white hood the chills. The white hooded man mumbled,

"I will do my best. . .

Master T."

So. . . It's been about six months- "HEY WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" I'm getting to that! Anyway, the last time I made a chapter. . . Wasn't really a real chapter. It was supposed to be a 3.5 chapter, but this damned website won't let me use punctuations. So it was called 3 Mix or some crap like that. But as to the reason this project was on hiatus. I had actually lost the interest, devotion, and will to write this. I started this in December of last year as a seventh grader. And starting very late in the school year, school kind of gets to me with assignments, tests, etc. That crap drained my devotion to continue. Crap excuse? Maybe. But, the important thing is, I have the will to continue writing this. Others give up completely. . . But it's worth trying again.

Also, that ending? Mysterious!
