It took too long

Tsao-Lon frowned to his wandered aimlessly away from the school building.  A while ago he had decided that he would find a dojo so that he could learn some new techniques and fix his rusty reflexes.  The only one that he'd managed to find so far had the guy who'd burned his book as a student, and Tsao-Lon wasn't sure he wanted to meet up with that guy quite yet.  There was no way anyone in his class knew and there was only so much fun he could have sparring with that obnoxious Keys.

Such an unsuccessful search was getting on Tsao-Lon's nerves, but at least he had enough money left over from moving some guy's stuff to buy himself some snacks.  The fish market sounded the tastiest, but he when he looked up he saw that some blonde kid was hogging his favorite stand.  

He wasn't in the mood to wait forever and this kid looked too distracted to make a decision.  Tsao-Lon sighed, "Hey, kid, hurry it up.  Some of us have food to buy."

Just Once

Stretching his arms out, Danny let out an agitated sigh, at last escaping after school tutoring.  His mother had insisted he could use the extra lessons despite his firm protest, and after an hours work he could finally leave these god-forsaken school grounds.  Honestly, he wasn’t that bad of a student.. he just saw no need to put so much effort into pointless skill sets.  Guys with talent like him should use their time not on stupid math lessons, but instead on something applicable.  

Pulling out an after-school snack, the teen tore off the wrapper to his chocolate bar and gobbled it down with no hesitation smiling with satisfaction afterward.  He glanced around at the practically empty school yard and shrugged casually, tossing the foil behind his shoulder before striding forward.  When Danny heard some sort of protest, he looked back and saw some guy with spiky white hair and an outfit that looked a bit outdated griping about him littering.  

The 16 year old’s first instinct was to apologize and pick it back up again in embarrassment, but clearly this stranger, who didn’t even look like he attended this school, wasn’t the type he felt compelled at all to do any favors for.  After further analysis Danny realized that this guy was actually supposed to be picking up trash around the school… which of course changed everything.  

 In an air of smugness, the teen replied casually, “Oh my bad, didn’t mean to throw that at you… But since you’re picking up the trash anyway I assumed you wouldn’t mind.”  He grinned, and turned to continue on his way.

If he had been caught just a few months earlier, when pent up rage and restlessness still coursed heavily through his veins, Tsao-Lon would have snapped and thrown the first lame comeback he could think of at this guy.  But enough time had passed for Tsao-Lon to calm down significantly, and despite his reputation for being a delinquent, he was no idiot.  Time may have worn down his intellect and most of what he'd learned had become outdated, but the boy had lost neither his common sense nor his wit.

It was a little late for students to be wandering around, especially around school grounds where a teacher might try to grab them.  The only reason Tsao-Lon and his class were scattered around was because they had opted for a later time for this punishment.  Luckily, the teacher had allowed the class to at least pick the time to clean up, and it had been unanimous to pick the time slot with the least amount of witnesses.  He leaned to the side to get a good look at the school yard, and the near emptiness of it only confirmed his hunch.  There were only a few reasons why this silver haired mamodo would still be lingering around.

Of course, the thought briefly occurred to the boy that he could end this stupid conversation, if it could even be called one, simply by picking up the trash and walking away.  Even the thought made Tsao-Lon want to laugh.  There was no way he was about to let some smug stranger wound Tsao-Lon's pride, especially since he was actually innocent in this regard.  After all, he never threw trash away so casually, at least not like that he justified.

Tsao-Lon leaned back and sneered at the other boy, "Maybe I should just pick it up.  I am feeling kind of sad for you.  I'm stuck with this lame punishment, but even I don't have to take extra classes.  It must be difficult being that stupid."

Just Once

This was ridiculous.  It just had to be some sort of joke.  To think after finally being freed from the curse of the stone and being allowed to go home, the boy got stuck dealing with such an annoying teacher.  All the guy did was rant and talk about how the kid's in his class needed to learn how to behave, but what Tsao-Lon couldn't figure out was where that teacher got off talking to the class like that.  Tsao-Lon used to be one of the four Heavenly Kings, and he'd have to be deaf, blind, and dumb not to notice the strength of the other students.  In a world like this one, this class deserved more respect than this teacher was throwing at them, acting like the mamodo children were nothing more than common trash.

Trash . . . The silver haired teen growled as he kicked away an empty can that some careless idiot had tossed away.  Whatever that useless teacher thought of his class, there was no way any of them deserved to be stuck outside cleaning up the waste of other kids.  If he'd been the one to cause the mess, Tsao-Lon wouldn't be as pissed, but the one's who should be picking up the mess were whoever went to this strange school.  He shouldn't even be here . . . 

As if that teacher had heard the boy's thoughts, a balled up piece of foil landed not far from Tsao-Lon's feet.  Enough was enough.  Tsao-Lon wasn't low enough or stupid enough to pick up after some disrespectful, weaklings.  He looked up and snapped at kid closest to him, a spiky haired mamodo who was obviously not from Tsao-Lon's time.

"Hey, watch it!  Aren't you going to pick that up?  Or does the modern world not know where to dump their trash?"
