When his size was revealed to his friends Berry thought it would be a simple one time laugh. But he was wrong. This was not going to be a one-time thing. His two bullies had been sure to see to that. Making sure that the picture they took was spread throughout school was bad enough but now he was getting teased endlessly as the small wolf.
Berry was of course embarrassed and ashamed to even be walking around school. Things were never easy for him. He was already the failure that he was and now this was not helping. Him hiding himself as much as he did, seemed to have just enabled this bullies when he let them get things out there.
And if it wasn’t bad enough for him to have been targeted at school, he could never imagine how bad it would be at practice. He was already looking to be behind the others as his other teammates had learned to summon and control their element already and while he could summon his he had trouble controlling his water.
And just to rub it in harder his team contained two people with rare elements. His friend Chondro had the power of lighting while his main bully had the power of fire. The two were being trained so that their rare elements could be used to fight the Maca Jumbies.
As Berry tried and tried at their first real practice, he was singled out by his two coaches. Coach Pinnes his otter coach and coach plum the mutt were decorated sprit dancers in their own right and were chosen to handle this very unique class. Not only did it have a whitebird, it had two members of the star family. It only made sense to have a class with three members from two of the three most powerful families be taught by the third as the two coaches were from the torrents family.
Berry Struggled and Struggled to conjure and control his water as his coaches over looked him and he tried his best his bully made sure that he would never succeed. A flash of red fire blasted by Berry breaking his concentration and causing him to mess up his conjuring. But that was not all. When looked down he saw that the fire was targeted. It was targeted to take out his shorts and reveal his shame once again.
Berry blushed furiously but the Coaches were just annoyed at this. The two were so tired of this as this was not the first rogue fireball thrown his way and the coaches were getting tired of saving the poor wolf. The poor wolf had already gone through three pair of shorts today.
“not again! We don’t even have anymore spare shorts!”
“You know you control water right? Can’t you just… ugh”
Berry was even more ashamed now. Once again he was failing and boy was Ryse reveling in it. The raccoon just laughed as he stood back and went to practice his craft more. The coaches just sighed.
“This is going to be a very strange team!” they both said in unison soon realizing that their shorts had also been damaged a bit it was going to be a long year.
