Shizu, Jenkins, and Sora were all in the same room, with all of them being separated by hospital curtains and the fact that Sora is far away from the two of them, being examined by the school nurses and were all being examined and being treated for their wounds. While they were doing that, Shizu and Jenkins were talking and the school went back to its original pace which was the continuous sounds of fighting and mayhem that was occurring outside.
"Jenkins" Shizu started "What are you going to do, now that you are no longer apart of the 101?"
"It's just a title" He replied "Though it holds some significance, I would still be regarded for my other title and I'm still going to teach" After he said that a nurse poured some sort of liquid on his back and there was a very distinct sizzling sound and even vapor coming out "Nurse, I think whatever stuff you put on me was too strong because it feels like someone is burning me alive, I should know" The nurse excused herself to get something to alleviate the burning sensation as they got back to talking "So, what are you going to do next?"
"Well, I'm going to continue on forward until I hit a wall...unless that wall has a crack I'll break it down"
"Good enough answer"
"Jenkins, before I leave, what should I be aware of?"
"Besides dying, that some of these people are ridiculously powerful, and some of them are psychotic? Well, I can give you an info dump, would that suffice?"
"Sure, just as long as it's not long winded like your monologs"
"Battling 101 started off as a group of 10 people who were supposed to be the ones sent out to take on forces far greater than any person. After the events that transpired the battling 101 became more of a competition, though the function of a attack force still stands to today. Of the original 10, they essentially became scrub filters so not just anyone could join or get through the rankings easily, though this was set after the competition was over. Want to know more?"
"Still long-winded, but good to know...so where in the world is the next guy?"
"Wait you didn't even-"
"Hey, I am always on the move and I ride a dune buggy"
"Why didn't you get an RV?"
"...Beside the point"
"Wait you had to defeat a high-level courier, didn't those guys give you any kind of instructions or where about of everyone?"
"No, that guy just told me to go here and all will be explained later"
"Wait who the heck did you-"
"Um...that guy was-" Then suddenly a smoke bomb was detonated and covered the entire room. After the smoke cleared there was a canister on Shizu's lap. When he checked what was inside it was a note that simply said "I'll just take you there" "Well I think that just answered my question"
"Well, good luck on your adventure...oh by the way, take this" He pulled out several green vials "These will aid you in subduing people who you don't want to kill, I will guess you will use these a lot" Shizu took them and placed them in his bag
"Thanks, this will help a lot...oh and by the way, nurse?" One of the nurses poked their head out between the hospital curtains
"Yes?"
"Am I free to leave now?" The nurse brought out her clipboard to checked
"Yeah you are, just as long as you don't do anything extreme...which I'll assume you are going to do anyway"
"So" Jenkins stated "What about me?"
"You are definitely staying here sir"
"I'm fine with that"
"So, what about Sora?"
"The white wolf?...He's just fine, but one of our nurses seemed to have been...attached to him"
"Wait, how did that-" Shizu listened closer to what was going around him and...well
"Em...Let go of me please!" Sora screamed as there was some sounds of a struggle
"Aw, can't you stay a little longer?!" One of the nurses said in a pleading tone
"No! I'm fine! Shizu help me out here!"
"You know my rule about getting in the way of love!"
"Ah! You traitor!"
"Not traitor, remember that psycho stalker chick?" There was a slight awkward silence after that question "Yeah, not doing that again!" After that Sora whined as there was a distinct chuckle coming from the nurse on him.
After that moment passed Shizu and Sora were walking out of the combat school in the afternoon
"Wow, time flies by fast" Shizu said as he got into the driver seat of his dune buggy
"Yeah and so does friendship" Sora said as he got into the back "So, where are we headed?"
"Honestly, I have no clue. I guess we wait until we get information by whatever courier meet's us next" Suddenly a smoke bomb was detonated "Well speak of the devil" After the smoke cleared there was someone standing in front of the dune buggy. The one standing in front of it was a darkened-skinned female with a black tied ponytail wearing brown rugged garb with brown shoes, gloves, cap with goggles on top of it. She also had a black rapier strapped on her left and a brown strapped bag on her right.
"Yo" She greeted as she got into the front seat of the dune buggy
"...Uh" Shizu said as the woman brought her hand out and Shizu shaked it
"Name's River, I'm the courier that will guide you to the others"
"Okay...So where are we headed?"
"Canada"
"Canada?" Shizu was maintaining a calm tone
"We don't lie about ranked people's location"
"Why the heck can't I get the guy over to my location?"
"The rules say so"
"Ah! So why can't I get a lift over there?"
"Eh...You can...but I don't have the clearance for that"
"What kind of screwball-"
"Ah, but don't worry, there is some good things about winning against a ranked member"
"Such as?"
"Did you know that if you defeat a ranked member you can actually win an award?"
"Oh, you mean something like this?" Shizu pulled the poison vials he got from Jenkins
"Not what I meant!" She pulled out some sort of electronic device from her bag, messed with it a little, and showed the screen in front of his face
"Whoa, that's a lot of money"
"Well, you are fighting the stronger fighters in the world, plus that was originally the 10th strongest so the reward is even greater. Oh and for future reference you can't grind money from members weaker than you...Also foreign currency adjustment available"
"That's good and all, but besides showing me the amount of money I have, what other purpose was that for?"
"To get an RV"
"Huh? Why me?"
"Because you're the one with the money, I'm the one guiding you, and this dune buggy smells like death rolled over it several times"
"Technically death did do that and second and I really don't want to get rid of this dune buggy, it has sentimental value"
"Bah, you know that we have a special storage system so we can keep your things so you don't have to get rid of it"
"Oh that's good...do you even know where we can procure an RV?"
"Yeah I do, now lets go, we are burning daylight, let's hit the road swordsman!" River yelled as Shizu hit the gas and they were riding towards the location of where the RV was...which it just so happened the sun was setting in that direction.
"What the hell did I get myself into?" Shizu thought
And the ride to Canada begins...
*While in the infirmary*
"Hm...Damn it!" Jenkins said as a nurse was applying a substance on his back
"What is it?"
"I forgot to say something to Shizu, during the rank numbering there were some people who actually forfeited mid-way and that the next person he is about to fight is one of these people"
"What is the significance of that?"
"The person he is fighting next is a literal powerhouse that defeated 50 of my students in under 5 minutes..."
