Ryu lazily unrolled the mission scroll and smirked as he read the details. "Hide and Seek, huh? Sounds more like a game than a mission," he muttered, stretching his arms overhead. He rolled the scroll back up and stuffed it in his pocket. "Well, at least it won’t be too hard." He made his way to the Academy, moving at his usual unhurried pace. As he arrived, he noticed the students were already gathered in the training yard, buzzing with excitement. The head instructor approached him with a smile. "Good morning, Ryu. The goal today is to find all 15 students hidden around the Academy grounds. As you find them, give them tips on how they could improve their hiding spots.
This exercise is to help them learn stealth and evasion techniques," the instructor explained. Ryu nodded, suppressing a yawn. "Got it. Let's get this started, then." Ryu addressed the students, who were bouncing with excitement. "Alright, everyone. You're going to hide, and I'll find you. When I do, I'll give you some advice on how to hide better. Remember, the goal is to learn how to avoid being found by an enemy." The students scattered, giggling and whispering among themselves as they sought out their hiding spots. Ryu leaned against a tree, giving them a few extra minutes to find their spots. He wasn't in any rush. After all, he had all day. Finally, he pushed off the tree and began his search, moving through the Academy grounds at a leisurely pace.
Despite his laid-back demeanor, Ryu had a sharp eye for detail. He strolled through the training yard, scanning the surroundings. He noticed a poorly hidden foot behind a bush and called out, "Found you!" The student emerged, looking sheepish. "You need to make sure all parts of your body are hidden," Ryu advised, patting the student on the shoulder. "Try tucking in tighter next time." Continuing his search, Ryu found another student hiding behind a tree but peeking out too much. "Got you," he said with a smile. "Don't peek. It gives away your position." With each student he found, Ryu offered pointers. Behind a bench, he said, "Your hiding spot is good, but you're too visible from this angle.
Check all perspectives." Under a staircase, he remarked, "Nice choice, but you left your backpack out. Make sure to conceal everything." In a tree, he noted, "Great height advantage, but try to stay still. Movement draws attention." As the game progressed, Ryu decided to share some advanced hiding tips with the students he had already found. "Try to find spots where your clothing blends with the environment," he said. "Shadows are your friend. They make you harder to spot, especially from a distance. Move slowly and carefully to avoid making noise that could give you away." Ryu found the last few students hidden in particularly clever spots, such as inside a storage shed and up on a low rooftop.
He commended their creativity and offered suggestions on how to refine their techniques even further. With all the students found, Ryu gathered them together. "Great job, everyone. You all did well, but remember, there's always room for improvement. Keep practicing these techniques, and you'll become much better at hiding." Ryu ambled back to the mission office, feeling a mix of satisfaction and relief that the easy mission was over. "Found all 15 students and gave them some pointers on how to improve their hiding skills," he reported, leaning against the desk with a relaxed posture. The mission handler nodded approvingly and handed him the payment of 10,000 Ryo.
"Excellent work, Ryu. Your guidance will certainly help the students." Ryu accepted the payment with a casual smile. "Thanks," he said, turning to leave. He walked away with a sense of accomplishment, knowing he’d helped the young ninjas develop a crucial skill while keeping things as laid-back as possible. As he strolled down the path from the Academy, the sun setting behind him, Ryu thought about how sometimes the simplest missions could have the biggest impact. And that thought, more than the 10,000 Ryo in his pocket, made him feel like he’d truly earned his rest for the day.
