Martin
---

Martin lifted the peak of the cap he was wearing as he got out of his taxi, he had deliberately asked to be dropped out near the school rather than beside it so he could get to understand the area he would now be living in for the next 3 years. He smiled and looked at his surroundings, it was better than he had imagined - for one it was warmer than he was used to in Newcastle.
"Y'naa.. I could get used t' this..." he mused in his geordie accent to himself before heading off in the general direction of the school dragging with him the large suitcase that his parents had INSISTED he take with him even though it was only half full. Fortunately the large case had come in handy as he hid his sword inside, disguising it by using his magic cards so he could get to through customs (Although had he been asked for a random luggage check he would have had some 'splainin to do).

Despite the weather Martin was dressed in a pair of jeans, a dark grey hoody that he had left open to reveal the light grey t-shirt he wore with a banana picture on it and the text "Bananas not guns" on it. His footwear was a pair of Converse that were mainly dark blue but had light blue trim.

"<Hey look, a foreigner, watch me get some money out of him>" came a voice speaking in Japense from Martin's side as he walked along a street, he began to look around before resting his eyes on the most stereotypical Japanese delinquent type he had ever seen walking toward him, the guy must have been about a foot or so taller than Martin and maybe around 18 in age, he pulled a cigarette from his mouth and began to speak in passable English to him - clearly the brains of his group based on the dim looking faces of the people with him. "Hey listen, I'm in a problem here. I need some yen to get me and my boys here home as we're stranded, help us out man."

Martin looked up at him and blinked a couple of times before simply walking off, speaking in a deliberately broadened Geordie accent "Gan 'yem y' tool, ah divint keep money f' twats like you." He looked back to see the dumbfounded look on the guy's face before grinning and speaking in pretty much fluent Japanese "<You think I would come to this country and not have SOME understanding of the language? I said 'Go home you tool, I don't keep money for idiots like you'>".

Naturally this caused him to go into a rage, running toward Martin at full pelt with his fist pulled back "<Why you!>". Martin stayed his ground, instead bringing up a hand and pointing it palm first in the direction of the approaching man, his other hand reached up, a group of 5 orbs each in different colors appeared above him, he took hold of a clearish one and appeared to slam it into the muscle on his outstretched arm and it absorbed the ball without a trace. The aggressor had no idea what was going on as he reached Martin only to hear the younger boy say "Air Element: Pressure Shot" and send him flying back into his group of friends. Martin then turned around and walked off, the four remaining balls had arranged themselves into the corner points of squares whereas they were previously arranged into a pentagon.

A few moments later Martin pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, reading it as he came to the front of the school, he read it aloud to himself. "Approach the person at the front gate, he will give you a key to your room, you will be matched with a random person so if you have any problems with being matched with someone of the opposing gender please let us know." Martin naturally had NO objection to this possibility and grinned as he approached the front gate, before he even had a chance to introduce himself a hand shot out of the booth that admitted people in and operated the barrier for the cars.

"Martin Jackson, Room 32B, Please sort yourself into school uniform and be in the main hall by 12 o clock, no later" Came a voice, it was quick and concise but definitely not from someone whose primary language was English. Martin peered into the booth and saw the woman who had extended her hand out, all he could get was that she was blonde and pretty before she frowned and dropped the keys on the front of the booth before standing up and walking out the back, clearly not in a good mood. He collected the keys and blinked. "But... I don't know which building is which..." He sighed before being surprised by the sudden appearance of a young girl from below the desk.

"Don't mind her, she's just grumpy because she knows she's gonna get ogled at all day!" She giggled and then hit a button, opening up the gate into the compound "It's the big building! Welcome to Crossroads!"
Martin blinked again, clearly weirded out by how there was a girl CLEARLY YOUNGER THAN HIM operating the gate, she was pink haired with green eyes and had more than a little air of the manic around her, he decided not to ask questions and instead just entered the gate, intending on simply getting on with what he has to do rather than making enemies on the first day.

Behind the desk of the booth the young girl picked up a sign that Martin had failed to notice that said 'Tsunade' and replaced it with one that said 'Kimi-chan' before awaiting the next person to come along with a cheerful smile.
