((OOC: Fine with me))
Vance could already hear the unwanted praise of his father, mother, three brothers, and two sisters as he looked at the list of new Genin. They would mob him as soon as he told them that he had passed, but he would remain unsatisfied, for he had already known that he would pass. Just because everyone thinks I'm an idiot, doesn't make it true... He clenched his fist, and tried to restrain himself from punching the wall. A fat student shoved him aside, and Vance fell to the ground. He closed his eyes and tried to keep cool as he stood. The plump boy turned around with a sad expression on his face, and Vance's anger subsided. He walked back towards the benches, deciding to look at the list more closely later.
His family would be so happy for him, considering none of them had been able to reach the level of Genin, even though they had all tried. He was the baby of the family and they would be so happy that it made him sick. His family disappointed him everytime someone said his name, and the scar on his hand would always remind him of his status in this village. I'll be stronger... he told himself, walking slowly. I'll be the strongest. He sighed as he sat down on an empty bench.
He thought of his family. How can they be so happy with their lives? How can they be so satisfied knowing that everyone thinks of them as failures? The simple nature of his relatives baffled him. They gave up, he decided, They just gave up. All of them. They weren't failures because they were unskilled. They were failures because they quit. He almost couldn't believe how cruelly he was thinking of them, for he did care for them somewhat, but Vance's anger was overwhelming him at the moment. It was supposed to be a time of happiness; he was supposed to feel joy, but he didn't. All he could feel was frustration. A disgusted smile crossed his lips and he stood.
I'll break this family curse or whatever it is, he stated to himself. I will not become just another failed ninja.
