They had been back to school for a month now. A month, but all the students at the 'Hidden Leaves' boarding school felt like an eternity. Mountains of books just waiting to be read piled side by side with crumpled pieces of paper ready to fill the brains of the young student body. Yes, it was a difficult time, but there was a ray of hope: the Venice weeks. Four weeks full of summer, sun and sea. Four weeks without learning. Four unbelievably great weeks ... But since it is well known that nothing is free, there was a small catch here too. The pupils traveling with them would have to take part in various activities. They would have to represent their school properly. However, it appeared to most as a sacrifice worth making.
Last year the teachers had already started registering their classes in the hope of getting permission to do so. Tonight the time had come, Tsunade, the director, would finally announce who the lucky ones were.

"Now come on Yukiko, otherwise we'll be the last again!" A brunette girl tried in vain to make the person she spoke to go faster. "Why, we still have enough time, Marisa, and even if we were too late, we wouldn't miss that much" - "That's true, Tsunade's introductions always take an eternity" Smiling, another girl came up to the two of them. "Yuuri !!" Marisa embraced her apparently last hope profusely. "Come on, we have to animatethat thereto move faster!" But that was basically no longer necessary because another person came around the corner. Her eyes flashed furiously, "What are you still doing here in the hallways ?! Marching into the auditorium, Tsunade-sama won't wait just because a few people believe ..." None of the three friends got the rest of the speech exactly with, because they had automatically switched to draft.With more or less intelligent facial expressions they stood in front of their teacher and asked themselves one single question:Where did the woman get all the breath and the energy to give them such a lecture every time about every crap?

She ran quickly and quietly through the corridors. Although she had noted it in her calendar, the young Yatarou had actually forgotten that she had to be in the auditorium today to see the announcement! Hopefully she just didn't meet any teachers now. Not that she minded that much, but it would be a bit exhausting to have to listen to another lecture about punctuality. Of course, not all teachers were like that, but unfortunately the uncomfortable kind mostly tended to patrol the corridors.
Carefully she peered around the last corner that separated her from the entrance door to the hall.Aha!There was already a prime example of the uncomfortable variety of the pedagogue species:

Anko Mitarashi
● boy 25
● Usually she seems cheerful and easygoing, but her mood can change faster than you would ever think possible.

And apparently the spirited teacher was in a bad mood. Your victims today ... Noriko leaned forward a little further.

Yuuri Toshiro
● 17th
● If you had asked the white-haired woman what she thinks of the Toshiro, it would have been: Can't refuse requests, conclusion: too nice! ringed.

Marisa Gabriella Summa Natascha Akaroshi
● 16
● Probably the ultimate mood cannon

Yukiko MaiMoe Shizuka 'Yuki'
● 16
● Morning grouch and apparently chronic late-comer

Noriko sighed. Yes, she counted these three figures with the most intelligent facial expressions

Noriko Yatarou
● 17th
● The person with the blackest sense of humor within a few miles

to their friends.Noriko sighed, they were all too late anyway, so now would have been the best time, which basically didn't exist, to point this out to Anko. She cleared her throat impatiently. "I think if this takes any longer we can all go back to our rooms right away. Tsunade's speech has already started" Anko whirled around and looked into Noriko's expressionless face. Somewhat taken by surprise by this statement, the teacher looked at her. Well, what should she say to that? Where Yatarou was right, she was right. With one last admonishing look at the young students, Anko finally dismissed them.

Marisa took a sigh of relief and grinned at Noriko. "Fuu ... I thought that would never end, Noriko you are really the best" - "Oh yes, all of a sudden? And what was the last time you called me impossible, crazy and forgetful? Seems kind of like doesn't fit the concept so ... "She looked at the brunette playfully offended. "Oh what, forgiven and forgotten, I would say, hehe. Hm, I just hope that we don't-" Marisa got no further, as Yukiko had already opened the hall doors with swing. Silence. The eyes of the students were previously open

Tsunade Senju
● Age unknown
● Her temperament brings even the strongest man to his knees. The well-being of her students is really important to her, even if you wouldn't suspect it at first glance

had been lying, they now turned to the newcomers. "What was I going to say about an inconspicuous appearance?" Marisa muttered so softly that only Yuuri, Noriko and Yukiko could hear it. "Well, that was too late my dear, just like us," Yuuri replied simply. As if that wasn't enough, you could now hear a loudTamtamtamtaamtaam Tamtamtamtaamtaam Tamtamtamtam Tam Taam.followed by "Oi, I thought you wouldn’t come any more and I would have reserved seats for you otherwise!"Laughter rang out from different directions as the four of them made their way to the cheeky blonde. When they finally sat in their seats and Tsunade picked up where she had left off, Yuuri hissed, slightly angry," Nami! Was that really necessary now? "-" You were too late anyway, I just thought I- "-" You thought, well, that's interesting news, "interrupted Yukiko

Nami Akira
● 16
● She is relatively small for her age, but one should by no means underestimate her, otherwise one quickly becomes acquainted with the anger of the Nami

grinning. Pouting looked at Yukiko. "Then don't stop!" - "Shh, be quiet for a moment, I want to hear the answer!" drove

Anaye Yukinoshi
● 17th
● The most social block of ice discovered so far

them on. Immediately the arguing stopped and listened to the speeches of the headmistress. "... we wanted to go after the performance of the classes, which would have meant that the class with the best performance would have competed" Nami groaned, great! “But after much deliberation, we came to the conclusion that we should let luck decide. That way everyone would have a fair chance.” She made a meaningful pause. Another blonde girl leaned over to Nami "What luck, eh? If it had been up to the IQ of our class, we wouldn't be in Venice in a thousand years"

Shinju Saitou 'Pearl'
● 17th
● The pearl with an iron will

"And whether we would be there! At least I would, since you always lower the average with your poor performance," Nami countered sarcastically and stuck out his tongue. Anaye turned around annoyed again to silence her.
"... and the lucky ones are ..." Tsunade theatrically pulled a piece of paper out of the box that Shizune, her secretary, was holding. "The class of Anko and Kakashi, as well as Kurenai's and Asuma's!"Enthusiasm prepared itself among those who were allowed to count themselves in the said classes, while the rest sank into gloomy silence." They are also accompanied and supported by Gai and our intern

Mina Kisaki

● 22
● Do you want to change something about yourself or your home? Then call Mina Kisaki, decorating talent and 'big sister'

Yuuri eyed the intern curiously. "Hm, I haven't really seen her at school yet, but actually ... she seems nice. In any case, she's better than Gai" - "But it's not too great an art, is it?" - "I don't really know, I mean yes, Sensei Gai is really a bit ... exhausting, to put it nicely, but in principle I don't find his attitude that bad. I mean, it's not that wrong after all, when you want to take full advantage of every day and always give your best, right? "Shinju got involved. Anaye just shook her head silently and put her hand on Shinju's forehead. "Well, you don't have a fever ..." - "Come on, Pearl, we're talking about Gai!" Nami waved her hands awkwardly. "But actually I have to say that I've always wondered where the guy gets all the energy from ..." Thoughtfully, she looked at the teacher, who, as always, his suit, which looked like a green full-body condom, as if suddenly one Voice off-screen and reveal his 'secret'.

In the meantime, while Tsunade and Shizune were looking for the rest of the documents with the information about the Venezia Weeks, Mina glanced around the room indefinitely. It hadn't been that long since she'd graduated from high school, less than four years before she'd gone back to one.
Finally, Tsunade found the missing documents and raised her voice again. "Yes, if we had gone according to the performance principle, something like this would hardly have been possible", whistles sounded but Tsunade only smiled soothingly and continued "I will only briefly inform you about a few things in general before I release the rest of you The two classes will get more information from their teachers later.Other schools will also take part, so I ask you one thing: don't let yourself do anything stupid! It is not the first time that our school takes part in these weeks and the last couple of times there have unfortunately been minor accidents. To avoid this in the future, the Venetians have improved security. And once again: don't do any nonsense and present our school in a dignified manner! Have fun in spite of all that! "Still remembering the last few weeks in Venice, Tsunade finished her speeches.
"Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai, here is the further information, I ask you to give it to the participating students as soon as possible. As far as I know my students, they
