Ikaruga and I arrive at a nearby forest.

Ikaruga: This spot should be good. Now then for starters, what weapon would you like to yield?

Arata: I dunno, Something easy to use I guess.

Ikaruga: hmm...I guess a Kunai would work for the time being. Okay then, I'll tell Kiriya-Sensei later. For now...

She looks around the area.

She spots a stick and picks it up.

Ikaruga: Pretend this is a Kunai okay?

Arata: Okay.

She hands me the stick.

Ikaruga then proceeds to teach me how to stab with a Kunai properly.

Due to my lack of experience, we made little progress in that area.

Arata: Sorry Ikaruga-Senpai.

I sit down on a rock.

Ikaruga: No no it's nothing to worry about, You're actually making decent progress despite being new to this.

Arata: Really?

Ikaruga sits next to me.

Arata: Hey Ikaruga-Senpai, I don't know why but... something about you seems familiar.

Ikaruga: ......

Arata: Hibari-Chan said you make TV appearances, is that true? That's probably why you're so familiar haha....uhh...

Ikaruga: ....

She looks dis-fucking-pleased.

Ikaruga: *sigh* Can't believe I got my hopes up...

Arata: eh?

Ikaruga: Anyway let's resume training.

Arata: oh! Understood.

We continue my training.

________________

We return to school around lunch break.

Ikaruga: Go to the usual spot after classes okay?

Arata: Yes ma'am.

We go our seperate ways.

Arata: ....hm?

Someone familiar waves their hand at me.

Arata: oh uh...What was your name again?

Yoshiki: Yoshiki! Jeez did you forget already?

...............

Arata: Right! Yoshiki! So what can I do for you?

Yoshiki: I was hoping to grab lunch with the new kid.

Me and Yoshiki buy some bread from the school store and head to the roof.

Arata: Are we even allowed up here?

Yoshiki: I mean...there are benches so probably?

Arata: "Probably" huh?

..........….....

Yoshiki: Phew~ The breeze up here is the best!

Arata: .....

I usually eat with my friends or Rika in the cafeteria back at my old school, but now that I'm up here I kinda regret not visiting the school roof even once.

Me and Yoshiki sit by the fence.

Yoshiki: Curry bread huh? Basic.

Arata: Ah? What kinda bread did you get?
