A gentle breeze swept through the field as the newly formed team paired off. Mizoto stood facing his opponent, waiting for the signal to begin. He would make Kazuma sorry for his rudeness. Hitomi-sensei put her hand in the air signaling the start of the fight.
Mizoto got in his battle stance and waited for Kazuma to make his move. He was a calm character, especially when it came to battle. He was always taught that in a battle if you allow your emotions to overwhelm you then you will lose. It was also his duty as a member of his clan to represent their nobility and protect the clan's honor. Kazuma had insulted him, and in doing so he insulted the clan. Mizoto had to teach him manners.
Kazuma: Don't expect me to go easy one ya just cause your dads the big guy!
Kazuma lunged forward with a punch aiming for Mizoto's face. Mizoto remained calm and collected, ducking below the punch and throwing one of his own at Kazuma's large stomach.
Kazuma: Heh! Gotcha.
Mizoto's arm plunged into Kazuma's stomach while Kazuma grinned.
Kazuma: How d'ya like my earth style: puddy stomach? A creation of my own! You said I was going ta eat dirt earlier didn't ya? Why don'tchya eat some yaself? Earth style: Rock fist!
Kazuma's fist solidified into a rock and cascaded toward Mizoto's mouth. It connected with a strong force dislodging Mizoto's arm for Kazuma's stomach and sending him flying through the air backwards and sliding along the ground. It was a solid punch, but Mizoto could handle it, he was tougher than he looked.
Mizoto (inner thought): He didn't use any hand seals for the puddy stomach technique so it must be active at all times. By catching my hand in there he prevented me from making any hand seals of my own. I won't make that mistake again.
This time Mizoto would go on the offensive. He sped towards Kazuma and leaped in the air. His body somersaulted forward and as it was coming down above Kazuma his right leg extended. His heel was aiming straight for the top of Kazuma's head. Kazuma crossed his forearms in an X and put them above his head aiming to block the incoming kick. Mizoto adjusted his body's position and instead landed gently on Kazuma's arms. He quickly jumped down behind Kazuma and kicked him square in the back sending Kazuma tumbling forward.
Mizoto wasted no time and continued his attack. Running towards Kazuma he performed a series of hand signs and then threw a punch just as Kazuma was getting to his feet. The punch landed square in Kazuma's stomach, once again sinking into the endless pit.
Kazuma: Forgot already? My tummy's off limits! Sucks for ya, now ya gotta eat some more dir- huh?!
Just as Kazuma was about to finish speaking his stomach began to rumble. Water began to squirt out from where Mizoto's fist had gotten stuck and suddenly a strong stream of water shot Kazuma back and sent him crashing to the ground.
Mizoto: Water style: Fire-hose cannon!

Hitomi: Those two are really going at it huh Jasmine?
Jasmine: . . . . .
Hitomi: You're not much of a talker are you? Thats alright, let your fists speak for you. Come at me with an attack.
Jasmine nodded her head and performed a series of hand signs. She was quick with her hands, noticeably quicker than her two teammates. At the end of the signs her light brown skin began blur and eventually fade. She had vanished, or so it appeared.
Hitomi (inner thought): She disappeared? Oh....I see. heh.....
Hitomi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Without much warning she spun around and appeared to grab something. Slowly the body of Jasmine began to fade back into sight.
Hitomi: A low level camouflage technique, but impressive for someone your age none the less. Try to hit me again.
The pairs continued their fights until the session was over. It was an important day, getting to know each other. Their ability to rely on each other would determine their ability to complete their missions for the future.

Hitomi: Okay guys, now that you have gotten to know one another's styles tell me something about the other person. I'll start. Jasmine excels in the speed of hand seals and is good at stealth attacks as well. However she lacks a strong defence.
She nodded her head at Kazuma, signaling him to speak.
Kazuma: What did I learn about daddy's boy over there? I learned that hes a cocky bum!
Hitomi: I see, Kazuma you need to trust your team mates, if not someone could get hurt or even killed. We are going to spend much of our time over the next few years with each other. So stop being a child and tell me what you learned.
Kazuma frowned a little but he understood. Underneath his childish surface was a smart person.
Kazuma: *sigh* Well I learned that hes smart, he likes to plan out his attacks beforehand. But his offense is lacking in strength.
Hitomi: Very good, thank you Kazuma.
Next it was Mizoto's turn.
Mizoto: Kazuma has a solid defense, and has a powerful punch, but he lacks speed and planning.
Hitomi: I see. Well we seem to have a well rounded team here. Now go home and get some rest, we go out on our first mission tomorrow. Dismissed.
THE END
