Voice testing!

[academysensei]

No. This is unacceptable. You can't decide you're ready to 'voice test' me when you haven't even finished canon reviewing. In fact, you haven't even seen most of the original source material before. The beginning of the manga and anime, and reading my profile on a wiki isn't enough. Not to mention, basing my 'voice' on fan-created material, which is no doubt inaccurate in some manner, is asking for trouble later on. What you're doing is like submitting a half-finished assignment and expecting a 90% for your grade. If I had to give you a mark for your efforts, it would be a FAIL!

[Sighs, really, what is his mun thinking?]

Honestly, even Naruto would have done a better job than this. Come back when you've done all the proper work. Then we can talk about future possibilities.

Muns will be muns, I'm afraid. Going in unprepared seems to be something they're good at.

[academysensei]

Something like that could get you killed in battle. As a teacher, I can't let that pass.

[healthepot]

At least it's unlikely that you'll be sent to a game at this point. No mun is that ill-prepared... I hope.

[academysensei]

She would receive a very severe lecture from me if that was the case. Thankfully, she admitted that she has no plans with me at the moment. I'm not sure I would be able to handle being thrown into an unknown area completely unprepared.

[healthepot]

It'd be a catastrophe to say the very least. Perhaps she'll think of something when she completes her canon review.

[academysensei]

She has somewhere in mind already, and from what I've heard, it's not a pleasant place to be. But I can rely on the likelihood that she won't send me anywhere even after she's done her homework. 'Too much of a hassle,' she says. Normally, I'd be displeased with her laziness, but... in this case, it works for me.

[healthepot]

Oh, my! I do hope for your sake that you aren't sent anywhere in that case...

[academysensei]

...She also says she'd only send me to a place with familiar faces. While I wouldn't be glad to be thrown into an unpleasant place, I'd be happy to see any fellow Konoha ninja. My feelings on this are a bit mixed now.

[shadow_dance]

Expecting much of anything in the way of "proper work" or "caution" is a bit high, unfortunately.

[academysensei]

It's my job as a teacher to train and expect such things from my students. Even if my mun isn't one, I still expect the same from her. I have to entrust my life to her, after all.

[shadow_dance]

[Shadow chuckles a bit at that.]

In a way, I suppose that's true. Though if you can get her to listen, you have my congratulations.

[academysensei]

She claims that she'll get on it eventually, but knowing her track record, it's just an empty promise.

[Another sigh and shake of the head.]

At this point I can only hope she sees the error of her ways, before she lands herself in a grave situation with no way out.

[shadow_dance]

Doubtful as well, but who knows? Perhaps she will.

[Shadow states it rather matter-of-factly, as if the whole thing of his mun throwing him into terrifying situations isn't even remotely worth worrying about.

...really, it isn't. Wily's done far worse.]

[academysensei]

In that case, I can only prepare for the worst. That's what a ninja is trained to do, after all.

[It's fair to say Iruka's seen his share of shit too.]

[shadow_dance]

Very true. [Shadow gives an approving, if subtle, nod.] I can fully agree with you on that.

Sadly, many of my brothers don't seem to get that idea.

[academysensei]

[Ah yes, the exasperation resulting from people not heeding your advice or teaching. Iruka understands that.]

There's not much we can do for people who don't want to listen, as much as I don't want to admit it. We can't hold their hands forever.

[He's glad that Naruto turned out to be a splendid ninja, despite his antics in the Academy. He really is.]

[shadow_dance]

Not that I ever really tried for most of them. They are a bit too headstrong to listen.

[Or too crazy. The ship of "trying to talk logic to Crashman" sailed long, long ago.]

Though they do know I'm there if they need me.

[academysensei]

They're quite lucky to have a brother like you to cover for them, aren't they? Even if they might not appreciate you.

[shadow_dance]

I'd certainly say so. We are all dependent on each other for most everything whenever Lord Wily isn't around, so it's made us very close. Sometimes in interesting ways.

[academysensei]

I'm glad to hear that. You should always cherish your family, no matter how stubborn or bullheaded they may be.

[He smiles with a little melancholy. His parents were long gone now, and he'd already accepted that, but he couldn't help but miss them sometimes.]

[bestrookie]

I concur! Practice makes precision! And only with practice can you be the best!

[academysensei]

...Right. But if you don't have a solid foundation, practice will only make the bad habits worse. My mun is lacking that solid foundation. That's why I told her to canon review first.

[bestrookie]

That is true! This "canon redo" thing sounds very important. I shall have my mun look into this at once.

[academysensei]

...It's 'canon review'.

[bestrookie]

Yeah, canon re-- Oh! Yeah, that's what I meant!

[academysensei]

[Iruka smiles. Oh, these types of students were pretty amusing when they weren't stubbornly trying to deny that they'd been wrong.]

Of course. What's your name? I'm Umino Iruka.

[bestrookie]

Sebastian Debeste is the name. People call me "The Best"!

[academysensei]

[That was supposed to be a pun on his name, wasn't it...]

Nice to meet you, Sebastian. What exactly are you 'The Best' at?

[bestrookie]

I'm glad you asked! I'm only the best prosecutor!

[academysensei]

Prosecutor...? I'm afraid I don't know what that is. Would you be kind enough to inform me?

[bestrookie]

You don't...? Well! I construct cases against criminals in court and gather evidence to prove that they committed the crime!

[He means "conduct", but he doesn't realize it... Oh, Sebastian.]

[bunnygirlgoddess]

Only a fool rushes things with no knowledge.

[academysensei]

...It's true that she's rushing things a bit, but she's in no danger and plans to gain the knowledge required in the near future. She will be fine.

[Giving a hard look at Kaguya, because he's barely aware of who she is thanks to his mun's knowledge gap.]
