Ryo sighed from where he sat perched up in the tree. He was waiting for the last of the students to clear out of the academy so he could continue with his training. Waiting for no one to be there was just a better idea.
He idly rubbed at the bruise on his cheek before hopping down to an empty yard. Dealing with people was too complicated and hard. Much better to wait until he was alone to do the things he wanted to do. And with the school completely empty, he could train to his hearts content.

Esha was the last to leave. He was always the last to leave.
He was loaded down with books and scrolls, his backpack filled almost to bursting, and his arms were filled as well. Just because the Christmas holidays were coming didn't mean he had to waste his time. He would be able to study at home, perhaps learn a technique or two if his parents could be persuaded that he was ready. He stepped out into the yard and pushed his glasses back up his nose with with two fingers.

Ryo sighed inwardly when he became aware of the presence of another. He was kind of hoping to avoid another repeat of the other day... But it did also feel kinda good to lay into Tori like that.
He shrugged inwardly as he saw the other boy exiting the academy. Small and laiden with books? Nope, probably wouldn't be punching other students today.

Esha paused when he saw Ryo, looking him up and down slowly. Esha wasn't one of Oki's students, but he knew Ryo by reputation. Most of the school knew him by reputation now.
"Are you going to fight me?" Esha asked calmly.

Ryo paused as he was walking past the boy. He tipped his head curiously, examining him with interest. After a moment his somewhat bored expression broke into a wide grin. May as well get ready to play this game again~ "Wasn't planning on it~" He snickered, leaning forward. "Did you want me to?"
Poor kid didn't look like he could take a hard punch, tho. Probably never even really been hurt... He -did- look that soft and coddled, standing there with his books.

"No, but that didn't seem to stop you with Tori. I doubt he wanted to be punched either."

"Hmm, I dunno about that~" Ryo tapped his chin idly as he looked thoughtful. "Seemed to me that Tori really kinda did want to be punched."
Ryo looked over with a giggle. "Oh come on, you've never wanted to punch him either? Guy's a total douche." Ryo grinned, this kid didn't -seem- to be wary of him, like the other students he'd occasionally run into.

Esha shrugged. "He's an idiot, but that doesn't make him worth the time or notice that getting that angry with him would require. He thinks more of himself than he actually is, and I try not to take notice of him."

Ryo blinked at that. "Well maybe I punched him just because I wanted to?" He shrugged to try and keep from looking confused. This kid was dancing with his words and Ryo wasn't entirely sure what he was saying... Tori wasn't worth his time? Maybe, but it had still felt -good- hitting him.

"Then you need to learn discapline," Esha said simply. "You've just made more trouble for yourself by hitting him. Fighting isn't about what you want to do, it's about doing what needs to be done in order to create order from chaos. What have you gained by fighting him?"

Ryo rolled his eyes and threw up his hands. "I don't know what you just said, but I think it was a fancy way of saying I shouldn't have?" He shrugged. "What's done is done, why dwell on something that's in the past and you can't change?" Ryo sounded honestly curious why this boy was trying to examine his actions.

"Because if you don't learn from your past actions, you're doomed to repeat them. The world's full of mediocre ninjas; it doesn't need any more who are going to bicker like children in the playground sandbox."

Ryo now couldn't keep the confusion off of his face. "So... because I punched Tori, I'm gonna keep punching him -which I'm okay with, by the way- and we'll be playing in sandboxes later?" Ryo sighed, rubbing at his forehead. This made no sence at all to him...

Esha sighed. "No. It means you're going to keep fighting with people for all of the wrong reasons, mostly because you're an idiot, and be a poor ninja because of it."

"So what if I'm not a great ninja?" At least he'd still be alive. And he'd been in the village long enough that he wasn't sure how much longer he'd be here for. But then again, he was causing a lot less trouble here then any of the other villages he'd passed through. He shrugged at the boy, looking completely indifferent though his smile.
