Sorae
"Volt? I don't go by that name anymore. Sorry."
Sorae cracked a small grin, wiping away tears. Damn, she probably saw them already. "It's a long story." He quickly began picking up nearby dry wood, before putting it down in a circle. He put stones around it, then opened a lighter and the fire began to blaze, a small fire. He then took the kettle, filled it with water and crushed basil, and hung it over the fire. He hummed as he did it, then stopped and turned to Milly, sitting on the forest floor.
"I called myself Volt because I thought I was quick, that I was fast, that I couldn't be stopped. I guess you could say I had high self-esteem." He smiled. "That I was confident. But I no longer am. I don't know if it's for the better or the worst."
"Today started out fine, but I first ran off because I realized on my own we were going to fight Oz. Which, I happened to do so without telling you; I decided on my own to leave as quickly as possible, anticipating that you would probably follow me there. I went. I summoned. And I got a new scar for my arm, but that's really just a minor thing. But I barely contributed to the fight. Sure, I summoned some creatures, and sure, they got in and fought, but what did I do? What did I do?! Absolutely nothing. Every single blow wasn't from me, it was from the things I summoned. I felt like I didn't do anything, I just called other things to fight for me. There's no honor in that. There's no reason to call myself 'Volt' if all I do is look for the assistance of others! Heck, I even had to bribe one of them with jerky! Of all things, JERKY!"
Woah, calm yourself there. Sorae took a deep breath.
"I passed out after Higoroshi-sensei came to fight Oz. I woke up afterwards in the infirmary, and then I decided to go to my dorm. I lay in bed, or on the floor. It's not important, besides, I can barely remember which. But that's when I realized; I barely do anything myself. I practically ask other creatures to fight for me. And that's when it hit me. I'm no Volt; I don't deserve that nickname- I'm just plain old Sorae. Sorae who can't defend himself. After that, I went for a swim, I ate, and I decided to go camping. I'll still attend class, but I'll sleep under the stars. Maybe that'll help clear my head. Anyways, as I ate, I thought of what I could do well. Of what I was at least some what good at. And I remembered." He smirked, a nearly devilish grin crossing his face. "Perfect aim." He pat the bag of stuff he brought, feeling the contents of it.
"Well that's about it. I walked in on you boxing with some other person, which kinda made me sad. Not the fact that you were with someone else (I was certainly bothered by it though, he thought), but the fact that it seemed like you had forgotten about me; you were in shock when I walked in. Right? ...Whatever the matter, I ran towards the back, grabbed a bow and a quiver, and left. And I was kinda sad, which could be expected. I suppose it is all kinda my fault though." He smirked.
"I'm not going to call myself Volt; I still need to prove myself as worth the name. Until then, call me Sorae, or Kakori, or whatever you'd like. On a lighter note, tea's finished! Want some?"
Sorae cheerfully drank a cup. Then he remembered something. "Jerky!" Getting a bag out of his, well, his bag, he closed his eyes, unwrapped his headband, held out a coin, and began summoning the tiger to which he owed his... debt. His third eye opened- at this point, he had forgotten he was in the company of Milly and that he wasn't supposed to show his Youkai form- and as he opened all three at the same time, the tiger appeared. So did an embarassed look on his as he closed the eye, threw a bag of jerky at the tiger, and retied his headband. "Aw... crap. Just broke the first rule of the academy." He apologized profusely ("Sorry sorry sorry sorry, really sorry") to Milly. "But it kinda proves my point. I summon things to do things for me. Or to give them stuff. But I do nothing myself, which is why I'm deciding to take on archery."
"Oh, and sorry that I interrupted... whatever was going on at the gym. I didn't know you would be there."
