## Plot

At the monastery, Lloyd was looking through his telescope to see his stars in the sky. While observing about the wonders of the universe, Nelson came here and told him that today was his first day of his lessons at school. Lloyd was delighted that a young Ninja is ready to learn in Middle School. As he left, Lloyd continues his studies on astronomy.

Meanwhile, Nelson came to school just in time, but Caralisa and Damien asked him where Jake went. He hoped that he will be on time, or else they all get detention from Principal Amanda. Jake was going to school on his own, but he encountered a woman who just had a car breakdown. Worried about the woman needed to go to school, Jake offers her to help by calling a cab.

When they reached school, a woman paid the taxi fees to the driver, and thanked Jake for bringing her to school. She introduced herself as Ms. Tanya, a Geography teacher for his class. Jake then meet up with remaining Young Ninja, and introduced the teacher that he met. Before going on for Geography lesson, Nelson spied a mysterious girl with the same school uniform as his, and attempt to call at her. The girl suddenly runs off, and Nelson gives chase. Before he can catch up to the girl, she escapes to the second floor. She then enters a private research room and creates a storm orb from the rare potions from Potion Island.
