When Blake and Tsuki made it to the right classroom they found that they weren't the only ones taking the test as a few other students in small groups throughout the room idle waited and chatted with eachother. The classroom was a decent size with 4 rows split onto to sides where 4 students could sit on each side. A comdesk was set up at each seat for lessons. The teacher's desk was in front of the room with it's own special desk that also allowed the teacher to control the lights and windows in the room. There was a giant screen behind the desk so that the students could see anything the teacher wanted to display to them all.

Blake took the wolf by the wrist and lead him to his sitting isle where his comdesk waited to be turned on. He sat down gesturing for Tsuki to sit down next to him at the vacant comdesk next to him. he took out his portable and plugged it into the comdesk allowing them to synchronize as they started up. While it started up the computer played "It's The Good Ship Lollipop", making the pard think about his nightmare from this morning as a blush graced his cheeks in reaction.

Tsuki was busy setting up his own portable with the comdesk in front of him fidgeting with his wristband lightly. "Damn thing itches almost all the time...." He spoke more to himself than to Blake as he logged in and began to clack away at the keypad opening up the diagram for the complex they would be going in for some last minute studying before the instructer came in. He could hear the other students making comments about him as he ignored them trying to calm his temper down. It was hard enough he had to be in a new place, but he didn't need people staring at him constantly commenting on how he looked. Had no one ever seen a white furred fur before at this academy?

There was a swoosh of the door making the students look up and notice that their teacher had entered. He was a middle-aged lemur who looked rather young for his age as he walked to his desk in his uniform carrying a small case. He stood infront of his chair staring at the students with a superior look on his face with disdain in his eyes. All the students were standing now, if they weren't, giving him the appropriate salute bringing their paws up to shoulder height hiding their thumbs in their pads with the back of their paws facing the instructer.

"Good morning students," his voice was stern and commanding respect as it held no ill will in it,"You may sit down now." Everyone sat down at the same time as the lemur. "Now I'm sure you all know what today is, and I'm also sure you also know about what will be happening in a few days correct?"

"Yes sir," the class said in unison.

"So I guess I can keep the report short then and tell you what you will be doing today," the teacher plugged his portable into the comdesk as the screen behind him lit up. "I'll keep this brief as we have a lot of work to do before you all go off to the complex. Now," he pulled up a schematic of the test they'd be taking. "As you know that this place is dangerous, and though it is possible to die in there, we have made special precautions and have standby ShadowS waiting to assist you in case things get a little too rough for you. I can't tell you what goes on in there as you will have to be able to make your way through it without falter, but I can properly prepare you by making sure you guys remember how to use your equipment properly." He paused a moment scanning the class to see that everyone was paying attention.

"Now I'm sure that I don't need to instruct you guys on how to us your weapons, but instead how about we go over how to use your circuits? I'm hoping you all at least know what they are, because if you don't then I don't even know what you are doing here in the first place." The lemur rolled up his right jacket sleeve showing his wristband to the class, "Now, to be able to configure it you need to activate it by pretending to check your pulse," he demonstrated by placing his left paw over his right wrist, "And don't forget to apply pressure," As he did so the wristband began to light up making a circuit like pattern all around the wristband. "Then all you have to do is move around, apply, remove, or upgrade your board using your portable. Remember that these things can be used as a multitude of things such as map displays, communication devices, and they even notify you on your vitals if you have put the proper programs in it." The instructer turned his circuit of rolling his sleeve down.

"Now that is all. You are all free to do as you will until 1330 where you will all meet near the gym where we will begin. And I suggest eating a small lunch." He gave one last look to the class before disconnecting his portable, picking up his case, and left the classroom. Before he left the students stood up. "You all have your orders. Dismissed." And with that, the students saluted him as he walked out the door.

Tsuki gulped looking wide eyed at the Blake. "Will I ever feel happiness again?" The leopard burst out laughing.

"It's okay. Instructer Devon is usually very casual, but since we have a battle coming up he gets tense so he can concentrate better. He doesn't like screw ups, or casualties that much. It's strange that he would be one of the ShadowS then huh? I guess it's so that then he can help put a stop to everything." The leopard shrugged disconnecting his portable as the wolf followed suit. "Say, I'm sure that Essex and J are at the gym now fighting to the death now. Wanna go cheer them on?"

"Are they rivals? They seem more like friends to be." Tsuki looked a little confused with his head tilted to the side lost in thought.

"No they are just the only ones who will fight eachother, other than me I guess... Everyone else is either idolizes them or is too afraid to try and fight them. One time in sarring class, all J did was glare and growl at his opponent and they pissed themselves right then and there." Both furs busted out laughing.

"I'm not surprised. One look at him and I nearly pissed my pants too!" The wolf wiped a tear from his eye. "But you can tell he is one of those gentle giants huh?" The leopard nodded in agreement.

"Yes well if you want to see them in action we'd better hurry no?" It was the white fur's turn to nod as he got up and followed the feline out the door and to the Training Gym.

~*~*~*~*~*~

At the Gym, Essex and J were going at it with their all. The folf like a tornado swinging dual-swords around, and the black wolf looking like a monster with his great sword he could swing with one hand like it were nothing. Sweat was dripping from both furs as they stood hunched over on either side of the arena, breathing hard, staring eachother down.

"Hah... hah... You're gonna have to do better than that to be me folf!" The black wolf growled out. He stood up right taking a stance with the sword.

"Bah! You know I could.... hah... take you any day..." The folf stayed low brandishing his blades. They were about to charge one another when a high pitched whistle went off in the distance. they turned to see Tsuki running down the bleachers waving at them and shouting. Blake wasn't far behind cheering also. The furs turned back to their battle charging at eachother.

Essex swung first with his left sword as J countered it easy enough with one swing of his. He then thrusted with his right arm at the wolf, but he jumped back kicking the sword away with his boot. They then lunged at eachother, J swinging downwards and Essex catching the blade by crossing his together. They stayed in a stalemate for awhile trying to wear the other one down.

"Hey," grunted the folf lowly so no one but J and himself could hear. "Winner gets to treat the new guy and loser has to clean the other's room." The wolf rolled his eyes.

"You're kidding right? You're thinking of getting some tail right now even though you know I'm kicking your ass to next Tuesday?" He grinned cheekily at his opponent. "Then again I do have a but load of laundry that needs to be done... Fine I'm in." They broke apart and got ready for one last strike. The hybrid trying a spin kick and the wolf swinging a punch. The slammed into one another knocking eachother backwards oddly enough still standing.

Tsuki looked on in horror at what he just saw. He cringed in pain making this horrible squeaking noise as he lowered his paws. Blake just looked at the white wolf like something was wrong with him.

"Tsuki?! Are you okay???" He gently sat the wolf down who couldn't stop twitching.

"Di-did you just see what happened Blake?" The leopard shook his head.

"No, they got to close for me to notice what did you see?"

"They.... They...." The wolf didn't need to finish his sentence as the two combatents dropped their weapons falling to their knees cupping themselves in pain. Tears began to stream down two pairs of eyes. When the feline saw what they were doing, realization dawned on him as his face scrunched up mimicing his friends' actions.

"I guess... this means.... a draw!!!" The folf said falling over still cupping himself in a high pitched voice. The wolf following suit.

"I agree.... completely!" Said the black wolf just as high. he rolled onto his back seeing his two friends in the bleachers come running down to help the two up.

"Aw man... We just get here and you guys had to go and do something like this..." the leopard sighed wishing to have seen more action as he picked up the great sword and put it on it's shelf. Tsuki did the same with Essex's swords before coming back and offering a paw to the hybrid who gladly accepted.

When both of the big furs were up, they all gathered around in the waiting room to let them cool off and relax for a moment. It was a simple room with a few couches and a table for drinks that you could by from the vending machines. The temperature was a little cooler in the room so the fighters that were relaxing there would feel more comfortable after creating so much heat in their battles.

"Wow, so you guys actually get to fight against eachother huh? At the Acadamy up north we usually go into special simulater rooms that create battles for us to fight in. It's close to the same thing, but not really. I mean who knows what your other opponent might actually pull off using the land around them you know?" The wolf was talking a lot excited about this place he had to start calling home already. He seemed to be bouncing in his seat. Too bad, the Complex doesn't even have any actual battles in it. I heard it's just full of booby traps you have to watch out for... Although that shouldn't be too bad considering that they can only do so much in a building. And by the looks of the schematic it's not even really that big and-"

"TSUKI!!! Please slow down we can barely keep up with you." The black wolf said. The white wolf stopped bouncing as a small blush graced his cheeks making his fur look pink. The leopard started to give a little grin. There was a menacing glint in his eye.

"Well you know Tsuki," he started, "We do have time before lunch and so if you want to I wouldn't mind showing you just how real our sparring can get." The two big furs looked dumbfounded at the leopard where as the white wolf looked completely jovial over the idea.

"Really?! I'd like that a lot. I haven't been able to train in a couple days what with traveling here and all that," the wolf jumped up sticking his tongue out as he dashed to the field ready to go. The leopard barely had time to get up looking mildly shocked himself about the energy the wolf had.

When the pard reached the field he un-latched his shuriken from his back holding it at the ready for whatever the wolf decided to do. He put on his game face watching the wolf carefully. The wolf just stood there for a moment looking at the leopard with his head tilted to the side before getting a serious expression on his face and taking a fighter's stance.

A fist fighter huh? This should make things real easy then... The leopard thought smirking evily. He began to spin the shuriken round and round in his hand gaining mometum.

"TAKE THIS!!!" He chucked the spinning projectile at the wolf who just stood there on the other side of the big arena. It spun like crazy aimed straight for the wolf's body. The other two furs watching shouted for the wolf to move out of the way. This caused a commotion and a couple of other students who had been around to watch the canids' battle began to get curious. The wolf stood there watching as the weapon came closer and closer until at the last second his back paw thrusted forward open colliding with the projectile.

The air seemed to make a watery ripple from the impact as the blade came round back to the pard who caught gracefully in a jump. There were looks of astonishment on everyfurs face that saw what had happened. A simple paw could not have deflected a blade with an attack like that. Blake got angry and threw his weapon again. It flew by everything as all eyes were on it. Yet again the wolf thrusted his back paw foreward open palmed deflecting the attack with the air rippling like a the shuriken was a drop of water.

The wolf was now back into his original stance. He stared with a stern look at his opponent who caught his weapon again licking his lips. He shifted his leg forward leaning his body back before taking off in a run at the feline who looked shocked for a brief moment before spinning his weapon and throwing it again. This time though the wolf jumped and landed on the weapon and jumped off it with another ripple in the air. The blade still going through its flight trajectory. The pard reached into his pocket pulling out a few kunai and tossed them at the canine in trapped in the air.

Tsuki looked down seeing the kunai aimed straight at him using his momentum to flip his body over his head he made a hand motion and made a motion like he tossed something, but no one could see what it could be. Whatever it was it knocked the blades straight to the floor as he came down back flip axe kicking the leopard who barely got his hands up in time to shield his head from the swift attack with another ripple in the air confusing the pard and the spectators as well. Tsuki then using his free leg kicked himself off the pard using the feline's chest as a base taking a few flips back taking his stance again. By this time Blake had to step back to not only dodge, but catch his shuriken as it came back.

"I guess I underestimated you Tsuki," Blake chuckled, "I should have known better than to go easy on you." The wolf smirked.

"Why thank you Blake," Tsuki said shaking his head a little. His braid wiggling behind him, "You aren't so bad yourself! But if you like what you see now..." Now or never I guess.... "Watch this!!!" The white wolf took a step back slowly bringing his paws up in a wave like motion. His fur began to glow as strange designs began to appear on his body and in a small circle on the ground. A strange energy began to build up between his paws. When you looked closely it looked like runes and symbols were gathering into a ball. He spun clockwise on one foot bringing his paws down thrusting his right one in front while leaving his left one behind him. "FIREBOLT!!!" The ball turned into four balls of fire as they shot towards the feline who, like everyone else at the arena, looked on in shock not believing what they just saw.

Blake screamed barely dodging the firey attack feeling their heat as he barely missed the last ball doing the splits to fall to the floor. his tail completely puffed in fear.

"H-how? Is... is that?" He barely stammered out getting back up as the wolf took his stance ready to continue.

"Yes Blake, I'm what you mid-sector furs would call an Infuria. I use the power of the Senku." The wolf said calmly with a hint of fear in his voice. A few spectaters stared in shock gasping at the anouncement. Some even began to whisper heretic and heathen. The folf and black wolf looked at eachother for a second before nodding after some silent communication.

"If you guys have a problem with our friend-" Began Essex taking a dominant stance glaring at the close minded idiots.

"Then you'll have to take it up us," J finished taking an even stronger stance. His glare seemed more menacing seeing as how big he really was. There were a few gulps, but after that the others knew to shut up then and there and not even try to start anything. The two big furs went back to watching the match that continued through the small confrontation by the spectaters.

Blake and Tsuki were going at it now throwing their all into the battle as projectiles flew from the pard's paws with perfect aim at the wolf who easily blocked them and even stopped some of them in mid-trajectory. Ripples were flowering throughout the arena now, more so around the wolf who seemed to punch any projectiles he couldn't stop sooner.

They kept going at it for another hour still not faltering from fatigue though it was obvious both of them were tiring down. Not to mention it was getting harder to move around the arena without tripping on one of Blake's weapons. Meanwhile from up above J was watching the battle as Essex had gone to the bathroom. He was trying to figure out how the white wolf could make such an odd reaction with the air to make it ripple like that. At first he thought maybe he was actually using some form of air manipulation with his body, but he didn't see or feel any currents move about in the room. He kept his eyes on the wolf examining his every move until the folf came back clapping his paw on the big wolf's shoulder.

"Hey did I miss anything?" He said looking down at the odd stalemate with a bit of a frown. "Nevermind I answered my own question..." He sighed leaning on the hand rail.

"I still haven't figured out how he does it..." J said idly looking at the field now watching the leopard throwing his weapons like crazy picking up a few on the ground to save his ammunition. THat's when he noticed something odd about the arena. The wolf blinked a couple times rubbing his eyes in astonishment. Was the floor changing color? It usually was a completely red color, but now it began to look like it was turning a black and white color. He looked back at the wolf still holding off the attacks. He quickly noticed a small flicking motion the snow canid made. It happened again as soon as the leopard sent another volley, and again. he checked the ground near where the weapons and sure enough just as fast as the projectiles hit the ground it seemed like the floor got painted in white. He began to wonder how he had missed such an event earlier.

Meanwhile done in the arena the leopard was panting as he could hear his stomach rumble lightly in hunger. He wasn't going to give up and he was getting more and more pissed off as his weapons were failing him.

The wolf on the other side wasn't fairing any better as he seemed to be sweating hard. He made a move to block the projectiles coming at him but nothing happened and so in a panic he jumped out of their way.

Blake took note of this and thought it strange, but continued seeing as how the wolf wasn't stopping his attacks anymore. He had even begun to go into his secret reserves of weapons. but hen he noticed that the wolf though he was dodging the kunai, needles, and smaller shuriken, and had long whacked his big one straight into the floor, was getting closer little by little. He picked up his pace throwing faster.

Tsuki seemed like he was dancing through the volleys strafing left and right jumping and ducking here and there. His hands were in cupped funny as if shielding themselves. When he thought he was close enough he jumped into the air again making more hand motions.

The next think Blake knew his mouth was covered and everything went dark as he felt a rush of wind feeling his arms pulled behind him and a pair of feet resting on his back. He could at least still breath through his nose luckily so he wouldn't suffocate.

Up in the stands everybody grew quiet looking at the scene in stock silence. The proud leopard was defeated by paper. It stuck the the feline's face like glue as he tried to squirm and scream about, but the wolf was restraining him pretty good. He was in a squatting position holding the other set paws next to him with his own on Blake's back.

"I suggest you give up now. I could eeasily break your arms if you keep squirming like that," he said with a solemn expression and tone. "Besides... I'm getting kind of hungry. Isn't it time to eat yet?" THe pard stopped moving and nodded relaxing his body somewhat. Tsuki jumped off and helped Blake up peeling the paper off like it wasn't even touching the other fur.

"How-?" The pard began.

"There are those who run fast, and those who draw well..." The pard apparently only needed to hear that explanation as it made perfect sense to him. As they walked off grinning in silence to the waiting room to cool off.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

At lunch the four furs were sitting around a table in the cafeteria talking about their battles.

"And so I had him in a head lock, but he was able to break free after digging his claws into my ass," said the folf explaining. "I don't know if I will sit properly for a while now. Thanks J." The black wolf just nodded to him smiling.

"If you want I could heal your wound with my Senku?" Tsuki piped up. Essex went quiet staring at the remark more than the wolf.

"You can do that? I thought it was only used for attacking."

"No there are a few healing techniques used. Just bend over. You don't have to take your pants off or anything." The folf shrugged in reply bending over his chair showing his clothed ass to everyone.

Tsuki called upon his power as the same blue energy built up around his paws. The designs hidden on his fur began to resonate with the energy.

"Medicina" He chanted and soon small sparkles of light began to shoot from his hands onto the folf healing the claw marks completely. Even his clothing was fixed from the small holes the claws would have left.

"That's a really amazing gift Tsuki. How did you come by it?" J asked leaning on a paw to watch.

"It's.... tattooed onto my skin under my fur...." He seemed to hesitate with his answer the black wolf noticed, "If you guys want I could give you some tattoos if you want to learn a little. I'm sure it would be helpful."

Blake's ears perked up at that thought. "Really?! I've always wanted a tattoo, but the Acadamy rules state that you can't get them. But I guess they may bend the rules to take into consideration of the Infuria, right?" The white wolf nodded.

"I can do it tomorrow if you guys like. But as it turns out umm.... Blake? We need to get going to the Complex... It's 1325 right now..." Blake looked up in surprise.

"SERIOUSLY?! SHIT!!!" He got up leaving his half eaten food on the table grabbing the white wolf and dashing out of the cafeteria leaving the black wolf to look at the folf's ass.
