Ezio soaked in the spring knowing he would be able to cultivate extremely well under these conditions. His master was sitting in the spring cross-legged a towel over her head as he seemed to have fallen asleep sitting up which made Ezio think his master was a little odd. Who passes out sitting up? Ezio’s first impression of his master was relatively good thus far. Even if he was a bit eccentric.
After successfully training all day the spring was a huge relief and he could feel his muscle aches disappearing as he soaked. The academy's springs really are amazing for cultivation! He had one week to increase his power as much as possible and show his father how far he had come in such a short amount of time. The new inner court disciples would soon face off and the prospect of being the top of this generation was simply too much of an opportunity to bring positivity to his family's name.
"Ezio..." his master called, his eyes still closed. "Tomorrow we will be choosing a weapon for you. It is traditional for a master to have a day with their disciple before doing so. I want you to think long and hard about what style of combat your new abilities are best suited for while you can always change, it is always best to stick with one weapon if you can help it."
Excitement filled Ezio's heart; he wanted to get up completely energized tomorrow. "Master, I will think about it seriously… I have finished cultivating. May I leave for my room?"
"Hmmrph" his master grunted in acknowledgement which Ezio quickly learned meant go ahead, but quit talking. His master was a man of few words if he could help it.
Lifting himself out of the spring he wrapped a robe around himself, slinging a towel around his neck, and walked out with his training clothes in a sack that he would give the servants to wash for him tonight. He opened the wood sliding door and exited drying his hair more so he wouldn't get a cold from the cool night air. Ezio quickly walked down the hallway focusing on keeping the robe from opening up.

The sound of another door opening came to him suddenly and before he could react he ran into someone. The collision was against his chin sending him into a daze. He couldn't react in time so their legs got tangled causing each other to fall over. Sending him sprawling to the ground making him look like a complete moron.
Propping himself up his anger flared. "Hey! watch where you are goin'–..." Before him sitting on her butt was the girl from less than a day ago, but to his surprise, she was completely naked save for a towel wrapped around her that barely covered her most private areas and one wrapped around her jet-black hair...
The girl looked up with a furious look in her eyes until she realized the inappropriateness of their situation. Those blue eyes really do make her stare intense, don't they? Ezio thought.
Still not knowing her name Ezio watched as her face became red like an apple. "What are you doing!" She yelled loudly and uttered a single word that caused Ezio's face to go completely red as well "pervert!"
Quickly standing up he tried to argue back "I didn't do anything, you were the one who walked out the door without looking!" He said, defending himself.
“Are you stalking me?” She said, her eyes narrowing at him in suspicion, glaring at him, “I’m not into spoiled rich boys, keep away from me.”
“Huh?!? No! Why would I stalk a girl like you!.. Wait..who is spoiled?!?” Ezio said, flabbergasted.
“Really then why do you keep on bumping into me. If you are not doing it purposefully you are clumsy and a blockhead… if you're not you are a PERRRVERRT!” Mei said, saying pervert extra carefully.
“Don’t be ridiculous, you are insane!” Ezio said, now growing increasingly frustrated.
"Stay away from me! Pervert. Or next time I won't be nice!" she grabbed her clothes from the floor and walked away down the stone steps heading towards the courtyards.
Ezio stared dumbfounded for a moment as he watched the black-haired blue-eyed girl walk away she was quite pretty if not for her horrible personality and being slightly smaller than the average girl. Wait! he stopped himself ‘Master said to stay far away from her she is no good! No positive thoughts about her allowed!’ He pumped his fist steeling his mind. He would do everything he could to keep away from that girl! Anyone that unreasonable was not someone he wanted to associate himself with.
