Y/N's POV

"What the f---"

The sound of the explosion was ear deafening. Just barely had I been able to dodge, only my jacket being slightly singed by the blaze.

"Now that's one hell of a greeting."

I assessed dryly, ducking just in time for another fire ball to marginally pass over my head. I knew the students the master had collected were a bunch of eccentric weirdos. But this was just too much.

Oh, I hope that man is prepared to reap the consequences of this ridiculousness.
After such a hot invitation it would be plain rude to keep that bastard waiting.
Already thinking of all the ways I could return this fiery greeting, I evily cackled to myself:

"What a wonderful surprise. To think that other than achieving my goal I would get to play too."

Exhilarating to my top speed, I soared through the rocky landscape. My target wasn't very well hidden. Maybe he didn't expect someone to ever come this far? He did make it rain fire balls after all. Or maybe his old brain had gone senile, making him forget how big a giant was? In any case this humungous ancient looking man was sticking out like a sore thumb. Not to mention the burned path, created by his attack, leading straight to him.
A little disappointed by this underwhelming followup to an attack that had managed to damage my clothing, I began my own introduction:

*Crash*
Boulders flew through the air, as the giant man was pushed deep into the terrain. I had merely met him with a punch and this was the result?
Man this is disappointing
I mumbled to myself, watching the giant try to stand, coughing up blood.
Not ready to give up, he forced up his bleeding hands, sending an impressive fire tornado my way.

"Hm, that's a good one."

I hummed, watching the blazing 'natural' disaster desintigrate our surroundings, as it made it's way towards me.
Feeling it's heat, I jumped a few steps back and readied a little elemental jutsu of my own. With a roar a huge Tsunami like wave materialised before me, drowning both the fire and my opponent in gallons of water.

"Your age must be getting to you, else there is no way you would have been defeated so easily."

I spoke, walking up to the massive drenched man, who was currently coughing up the reminents of my little wave attack. Giving him a bright smile I held out my hand, asking:

"Mr Glout, I presume?"

"Puharara, that I am. Might I know what a monstrous individual like you would need from an old hermit like me?"

"Our teacher recommended you. Thankfully it seems that you are still alive. It's nice to see that some giants still grow old."

"I was wondering where you learned to create that wave. Seems like the master had another talented student after me."

"I did have a lot of time to perfect what he taught."

"Well then little elf what do you want from me. I doubt you just came by for a visit."

"Yes, I have a request..."

Ace's POV

Numb I sat in my room staring at my stuff. It was all packed. Ready for me to leave. To leave the person I wanted to be with forever. The person whom I had to stay away from. I felt lost, empty. Like my heart couldn't decide whether it should cry or scream.

"Dammit, Y/N. Couldn't you have told me earlier? What am I supposed to do with myself? I already f*cking love you. I don't want this. I-"

Frustrated I punched the wall, shouting out everything that I wanted to tell that elf to her face. How she shouldn't keep such important information secret. That she should stop looking at me with those clear affectionate eyes. That she should have thrown me out as soon as I could walk. That she shouldn't even have given us the chance to grow close.
Exhausted I let myself sink to the floor, burying my head in my arms.
