Konoha's Schooling

Zyxis walked around Konoha's training ground, getting accustomed to the feel of it. Back in Kumogakure all he did was spend time in their own fields, fighting wooden dummies, and spreading fresh blood on the grass. He took a breath and smiled. It wasn't the best place in the world, nor did it feel like home, but it'd do. In a burst of speed, he ran towards the nearest dummy, ready to take out all of his frustrations on losing to Hayate.

Minato was getting ready to start his day the same way he had done the last couple of days. With a hard and sweaty training session. 

He was bound on making a great first impression on the other Academy Students. No time for slacking off.

Usually he'd go for a run to improve his stamina since that was one of his weaker points, but today he decided to skip that to get some sparring in with the dummies on the training grounds.

Around this time he'd usually be alone, but to his surprise he saw someone bursting with some kind of frustration, taking it out on this almost destroyed dummy.

Curious of this "training partner", he went up and tried to say hello.

"Ehm, hi? Everything okay here?"

Zyxis took a split break as a voice rang out in the silent training grounds. As he caught his breath he turned around and viewed a boy with coal-black hair, "Hey there," He'd say. The white-haired boy would look back over the legal destruction of property around him. "I'm good. It was just a good time to train and I had to get some things off my chest." 

He stretched a bit, "My name is Zyxis. What's yours? You live here in Konoha?"

Not immediately recognizing the white-haired boy, Minato decided to get some closer.

"Hey, nice to meet you Zyxis, I'm Minato. Yeah I live here, are you from around here cause I don't think I've seen you before?"

Casually continuing the conversation, Minato began his stretching and looked around to find a fitting dummy.

"You didn't leave much behind of this guy, did you? Want to talk about what happened?"
