The Day of Black Snow"Last day of Black Snow Academy, huh? Tch, more of a military school, rather than an academy." Lance said to himself, closing his locker door as he looked off to his side. All that was there was a long, narrow, empty hallway. But Lance felt something. Something unfamiliar. "...eh, must've been the fish they served at lunch." he told himself, brushing the feeling off as he walked away, holding a few books and other school-related objects.

It was around 2:00 in the afternoon. School was almost over, with only an hour to go, and all that was left was one final training session, and then the graduation ceremony. It was the last day of Black Snow Academy for the graduating class of that year, and soon, all of the students would be completely ready for whatever life may throw at them. Among those students is Lance, who had just finished gathering all of his belongings. Lunch recently ended, and everybody was supposed to go straight to their last training session in the room where they, well, train. Lance, however, went right to his locker to get his stuff, attempting to avoid the big rush he knew would come when that final bell rang. Afterwords, though, he snuck back into the training room, hoping nobody realized he was gone.

One of the two metal doors slowly crept open as a red eye was spotted peeping into a vast room with an uncountable amount of people. "I made it." Lance whispered, gently creaking the door open, sliding his way in. He traveled across the wall, praying nobody saw him while he silently tip-toed behind the teacher. After passing him, Lance whispered to himself again, "Now all I have to do is get back to my spot and-"

"LANCE!" The teacher boomed with loudness.

"Gyaaaaah!" Lance shivered in fear and panic.

Chapter 1: ArroganceLance took a seat on the large, blue mat that basically covered up half of the floor. All of the students were sitting on it as well, all in their spots, lined up, row by row. Lance sat far in the back of the class, squinting up ahead at the desk their teacher was sitting at. All of his stuff was on the teacher's desk, since he was caught, he had to wait to get them back. "Mmmmm..." Lance hummed to himself, angrily. He stared down the teacher, until he unexpectedly stared right back at him. "Gah! Hmph!" making a grumpy face, Lance grunted, quickly looking the other way.

"Alright, class..." the teacher began, standing up from his seat. "I'm just going to get straight to the point, here. I don't care if it's the last day of school, or if any of you are expecting special treatment, but we're going to play everything the same today, so everyone, pick your partners and get to sparring. We don't have much time, since the big man cut down our class for the stupid ceremony."

"Mmm, well said, jerk." Lance quickly muttered to himself, still grumpily looking off into his own direction. Of course, everybody heard, but nobody really said anything. The whole class stood up and started scrambling around, but Lance simply sat on his position on the mat, not bothering to get up or do anything.
