"Pain from the past?"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

-Niisan, yo...

"You don't possess the necessary skills or qualities to make it to Class A. Put that in your head."

He moved forward, as if about to act. The situation seemed fraught with danger. Resigned to face Horikita's wrath, I jumped out of hiding and went after her brother. Before she knew she was there, I grabbed her right arm, which he was using to restrain her sister.

"Oh!"

"How did he get there so fast?!"

"I never took you for a runner, Ayanokoji-kun"

"What? You..." She stared at her arm and slowly turned to me with a sharp glint in her eyes.

"A-Ayanokouji-kun?!" cried Horikita.

You were about to throw your sister to the ground, weren't you? You do realize that the floor here is concrete, right? They may be brothers, but they must know the difference between right and wrong."

"Yeah, that's a man!" Miyake yelled in surprise. They all stopped and looked at him. He blushed furiously.

"Eavesdropping is not an admirable quality," he said.

"Good. Then let it go."

"That's my line."

"Oh"

"Man, this is intense."

"A battle between men".

"I get chills just looking at them."

We looked at each other in complete silence.

Enough, Ayanokouji-kun," Horikita said, her voice tense. I had never heard his voice like that before. Reluctantly, I released his brother. Instantly, he tried to backhand me in the face. I instinctively took a step back to avoid it. For such a skinny guy, he was a nasty attacker. He then aimed a strong kick at my unprotected spot.

"Wow!"

"Be alert!"

"Where did you learn to fight, Ayanaokoji-kun?" Ichinose asked me.

I 'showed' a fake expression of sadness: "My father made me. He said I had to be good academically and physically, so he basically controlled my life."

Ichinose's mouth in an O shape, she muttered a quick sorry.

"Look at it!"

It had enough power to knock me out with one punch. Looking a bit confused, he breathed out deeply,
stretched out his right arm and opened his hand. If I grab his hand, he'd probably throw me to the ground. Instead I slapped his hand

"Man, this is like an action movie."

"I'm getting excited."

"That seems to be the end of it, idiot."

"Good reflexes. I didn't imagine you could evade all my blows so quickly. Besides, you seemed to understand quite well what I was trying to do. Have you been taught?"

After the attacks stopped, the questions began.

""Yes, they taught me piano and calligraphy. Also, when I was in elementary school, I won a national music contest," I told him.

"P-piano and calligraphy?" Ryuuen for the first time, stammered.

"Can you fight against it well when you practice piano and calligraphy?" Ishizaki scratched his head.
