Class was in the gym again, Yondaime waited for everyone to show up before handing out the sign up sheet. “Skif, Zuko. You two will be taking turns being part of the class today,” he nodded to the two of them to join the rest of the class.

“Today I will be assigning the teams that you will be in for the rest of the semester. They are set up based on your test results from last week and there will be no switching teams,” the blond explained as he walked along in front of the group. “There are three teams of three and then one team of four that will alternate slightly every week.” Yondaime pulled out a small piece of paper from the pocket of his coat and read off the list.

“Team One will be Veruca Cally, Pip Bernadette, and Dean Forrester. Team Two: Demyx, Edard Elric and Cameron Mitchell. Team three: Togusa, Setsuna Sakurazaki and Jim Ellison. The last team, will be an alternating team consisting of Anders, Alphonse Elric and then depending on the weeks exercise Skif or Zuko”

Next Yondaime took out a small bag that was full of bells. “Today’s exercise we’re going to be going to the danger room and there is one goal for you to accomplish as a team,” he said emphasizing team. “And it’s fairly simple.” He pulled out a set of bells and shrugged off his coat before attaching them to his belt. “Take the bells from me.”

This was a classic exercise passed down through generations of ninja when they were first sectioned off into teams. It showed who was able to work together and who wasn’t, granted though Yondaime had to modify it to fit into a class setting where he couldn’t really do much to the students. “You’ll have an hour in which to take the bells…” He paused a moment and looked thoughtful. “And to help with that….”

The blonde pulled his hands in front of his face twisting his fingers into a strange position. “Kage bunshin no jutsu!” He shouted as a puff of smoke appeared and suddenly there were five Yondaime’s standing there instead of just the one. “There now we won’t be pressed for time and I can watch and observe you all.” he smiled brightly and the rest of them did as well. “You can use anything to your advantage; just make sure that you do it as a team. Now sign in and then we’re off to the Danger Room.”

[OOC: Again! Sorry for the lateness!!!!! But it's probably for the better cause now I'll be around to play? ^^;; ~~Oh and wait for OCD pwease.~~ Bleh OCD is up now.]

Despite Alphonse's warning, Zuko was still caught by surprise. He managed to grab on to one of the branches and even if it didn't exactly keep him up, it was enough to slow down his fall.

He hit the ground, but jumped right up. Noticing the bells lying there, he quickly made a grab for them before Yondaime could show up again.

Alphonse stood upright and rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand before he saw Zuko go right for the bells. He looked around, even circled in spot, trying to see if the clone of Yondaime was anywhere to be seen. He didn't spot anything, so Alphonse bounded in Zuko's direction with a large grin on his face. "Hey, we did it!" he beamed.

Zuko stared down at the bells, still somehow expecting for the clone to come back or something. When it didn't happen, his lips curved in the barest of smirks. "Handy trick with the trees."

"I'm just glad this is the Danger Room and not a real forest." Alphonse gave a modest smile. "That thing with the fire you do-- that's pretty amazing, too! I didn't know you could do that."

"I'm a firebender," Zuko said in a way that he expected that to make perfect sense to Alphonse. "But you're more than just an earthbender."

"A firebender?" he asked curiously, though by the name Alphonse figured it obviously had to be something in relation by fire. "Earthbender?" He paused, his expression unsure. "I'm not very sure what that even is."

"Fire benders control fire. Earthbenders control earth," he explained. "An earthbender could have made the walls like you did, but they wouldn't be able to manipulate the trees."

"Ah! I think I get it," Alphonse said. "That must be something from where you're from. I'm an alchemist-- like I mentioned earlier, I can use alchemy."

Like earlier, he had no clue what that was. "Is that some sort of energy?"

"That's a part of it," Alphonse began. "It's a science that mostly deals with the decomposing and reconstructing of objects. Basically, I can alter things around to my liking."

It still didn't make much sense, but he just saw what it could do. "Handy."

"It's helped on many occasions," he agreed. "Well, we've got our bells, and our teacher isn't anywhere in sight. We made a good team, don't you think?"

Zuko nodded and held out the bells for Alphonse to take. "We did good."

Alphonse only took one of the bells, assuming Zuko would want one for himself. "Yup! I think in classes to come we'll get even better, too, once we know eachother's strengths and weaknesses."

Zuko sighed and wondered if his uncle would like a bell. "I suppose."

"We'll do good," Alphonse said with confidence. "I'll be looking forward to next week, then!"

Zuko just nodded and stuffed the bell in his pocket. It might reappear during his Music class.
