Down Time at the Academy [Group Training]

Maximillian had entered a relatively purpose-filled period in his young life. During the first few months of his academy life, he spent it sulking in his room, hoping that he’d die in his sleep so he could be free of this flesh prison but now, ever since his conversation with the chief toad he now had some purpose in his life. He wanted to get stronger, not because he wanted to be better than everyone else, but so the toads would acknowledge him as one of their own.

What does it mean to get stronger? Of course, he had to go to his classes so that he can understand the different types of jutsu and what he could learn in the now and future. Then there was training. No one could help him with that so he had to take the initiative and that would explain why he was at the training ground so early in the morning. Maxi stumbled across an oddly placed tree stump in the middle of the training ground that was perfect for him. After a quick warm-up, he would start practicing his kicks on the tree stump. He wasn’t completely weak so his kicks would be doing moderate damage to the tree but it wasn’t enough to destroy it completely so he would start to count the number of kicks in his head as he continued.

Walking to the training area with a wooden kendo sword, Demoto would come across one of his fellow academy students. He had no sort of interaction with this person before, but he knew that past experiences with the other members of his class weren't that kind unless they were also special circumstances like Ratomi or people that had a level of maturity to them to not care about that like that other smart guy. It was his first day so maybe Demoto would remember in time.

Walking over, Demoto would give the lad that was throwing out the kicks a simple wave. He didn't really say anything, but that was mostly because he couldn't. He wondered what the person was doing, so he put his sword down and watched for a while.

Though he seemed to be busy practicing his kicks, Maximilian had already noticed that there was someone else had entered the training grounds. At first, he didn’t really care about who it was as he was positive that it wasn’t someone who concerned him but when he had finally glanced over to the boy that had waved to him he had come to notice who it was and he would stop what he was doing. “Oh, it’s you.” He said looking at the boy from head to toe. He didn’t know much about him but he did know that they were the same and that was all he really needed to know. “I’ve heard rumors that people were picking on you. I tend to just avoid people altogether but you and I are the same so it won’t hurt to at least be friendly, no?” He said before delivering a swift kick to destroy the tree stump. “I’m Maximillian and you?”
