Chapter 13: Vol. 1: Chp 13 The Kodaina Forest
At the Nozomu residence, Ms. Manabu can be seen sitting down in the living room, patiently waiting for a certain man to make an appearance. After 5 minutes of waiting, Mr. Nozomu can be seen carrying two mugs, both filled with coffee to the brim.
"Here is your ice coffee, Miss." Mr. Nozomu politely announced, gently handing Ms. Manabu the mug in his right hand.
"Thank you!" Ms. Manabu acknowledged, carefully grabbing the mug.
Shortly after the short interaction, Mr. Nozomu began to sit down in a chair that's straight across from Ms. Manabu's seat.
"..So, what did you need?" Mr. Nozomu asked, breaking the silence,
"I wanted to make sure of something." Ms. Manabu responded, confusing Mr. Nozomu.
"Make sure of what, exactly?" Nozomu questioned, making Ms. Manabu light up in excitement,
"Have you heard of the Tansu's?" asked Ms. Manabu, adorning a look of curiosity.
Nozomu widened his eyes and nearly dropped his mug, spilling small droplets of coffee onto his hardwood floor.
"..Yes, I have. And I assume you know who they are?" queried Nozomu,
"Indeed I do! An old group of warriors, each pertaining strong abilities that were either given to them at birth or through ritual, also housing sacred beasts inside them. They're more formally known as 'Elementals'." explained Ms. Manabu before taking a breath and continuing with the narration.
"These 'Elementals' were blessed with the power of gods, such as; Geokinesis, allowing the user to manipulate the earth at will. Hydrokinesis, allowing one to use nearby water or form water out of thin air by simply using the water molecules in the air. pyrokinesis, the ability to externally produce fire, contorting it into any shape at will and also able to change its temperature if practiced and skilled enough. Aerokinesis, the power that gives the user control over the wind."
"that sounds quite intriguing and all. But what does that have to do with me?" Nozomu asked, wondering where she's going with this sort of topic,
"There's also one I haven't named yet upon the many abilities, the one called Electrokinesis. Granting the ability to control lightning along with being able to move at incredible speeds if used correctly." Ms. Manabu informed, seemingly preparing for another statement.
"I'm still clueless as to why you're bringing this up," explained Nozomu,
"Well you see, I asked you what your name was earlier. And you answered with 'Kaminari', the god of thunder." Ms. Manabu Emphasised,
"So? It could be a coincidence for all you know." Retorted Nozomu, starting to become anxious due to her dragging out this conversation.
"Are you really playing dumb with me, Kami?" questioned Ms. Manabu.
"Kami?" Nozomu wondered,
"It's the nickname I gave you when we were kids! How could you forget me? It's Reberu, your old friend back at home!"
Ms. Manabu then proceeded to lower her shirt collar to show a marking written on her neck, one that's extremely familiar to Nozomu, in fact. It's so familiar that he lowers his own shirt collar and shows off the same marking on his neck.
"The seal of God."
"I traveled here to explain this and you were acting dumb the whole time, you had to at least of gotten a hint at what I was getting at?" Ms. Manabu said in a half-assed manner, smirking at the same time.
"Well, this is one hell of a reunion."

BURAUNMAJIKKU ACADEMY
The class of Mr. Oshieru in the blue aura division can be seen walking outsides, exiting school grounds. With the addition of the teacher, all six of the students are now in the range of being able to witness the destination of the school activity, 'The Kodaina Forest'.
"All right, once we pass the first line of trees in the forest. DO NOT split up quite yet, can't be losing kids this early on in the year." Mr. Oshieru explained, also unintentionally scaring the students.
"Do you usually lose stude-" Utsukushi tried to ask but she quickly got cut off by Mr. Oshieru,
"Okay, Let's continue. Onwards class!"
10 MINUTES LATER
The class can now be seen walking through the forest, then abruptly stopping in their tracks.
"Why'd we stop?" questioned Naderamu,
"Here is where we will be training today, I'm going to have you guys be split into groups of two. Then you both will be hiding in some part of the forest, Once you see a beam shot into the sky, your team will attempt you rush out of the forest. This will help you learn about your surroundings and to avoid running into enemies in a 'flight' situation. Stay where you can see blue lines written on the trees. They will both direct you out of the forest and to help you not get lost." Explained Mr. Oshieru,
Once Oshieru finished informing the students on the rules, Tanjo raised his hand to ask a question. "How are the teams going to be determined?"
"We will be using sticks in a cup." Mr. Oshieru calmly answered Tanjo's question, then pulling out a cup full of sticks seemingly out of nowhere.
Utsukushi wanted to ask where he pulled the cup from but remembered that Oshieru will most likely move on and forget about the question.
"Now-" Mr. Oshieru started,
"-Let's draw sticks!"
