It had been a while since he stood on the cool tiled floors of Aurora Eruditio, his second home. The days of being of raikage had swept him away from enjoying himself; a man who always walking with a book in one hand even since he was a child. It was a shame that these may be the last days. He was seeking retirement after many years of serving the village and being to realize that the path he sought for the village was not the one the people were pursuing. It did not matter what he did his actions would not change anything. The revelation sadden him but it also release a burden that he should never had bear.
At least now he should rest his mind and allow someone else to lead in hope that the village will find the peace that Shin was searching for all these years. He stood perusing the shelves at the small library stationed at the academy. It was a small place for the students to study if they could not go to Bibliotheca Conscientiae and most of the time the place was rather quite comparatively to Shin's office. Shin pulled out a book that he had read many years ago -- the book of the Elements. It was still in good condition except the binding was getting torn from overuse. Shin smiled as he began to walk over to an open table but found himself staring at a young girl who was occupied by her studies.
"Hello. I did not see you there." Shin said as he walked closer. "What is your name, onna no ko?"
