Approaching Graduation

Kyokaru awoke to a flicker of light hitting his face. "Ugh, its morning already?!" he explained as he stretched. Graduation was just around the corner and Kyokaru needed to prepare for the exams. Okay, first breakfast, class, training, bath, dinner, then studying." he repeated in his head as he put his clothes on for the day. He arose at the break of dawn every day to get an upper hand on the other students. Alright, I can't slack off anymore. It's almost here and I have to be ready for it." as he muttered his final words before setting off for the day.

As he sat down at the local ramen shop, he heard mutters from the old men on the left. Talking about Kage corruptment and how the village is completely falling apart. It was nothing out of the ordinary to hear on a daily basis around these parts. Hope was a commodity and noone could afford it. Kyokaru easily downed his breakfast in a speedy fashion and head off to the academy. Approaching the academy, he could see that many of his classmates had the same early morning initiative as he did. He saw and greeted some of his classmates with a quick "Oh hey!" and then headed off to class. When he got to the classroom he was greeted with the fact that he could choose any seat that he wanted to. He chose a middle row, which was where he could see without being considered a brown noser by most. He put his head down on his arms and let out a huge sigh while he watched the flow of children pore in behind him and all waited on the teacher to arrive knowing the long and boring reviews awaited their future.
