Arata: *Pant* *Pant* ....
I wipe the sweat off my chin.
Arata: .....
Ikaruga: ....
She's starting to get tired. That makes me feel a little sense of accomplishment but we're not out of the woods yet.
Arata: Senpai, are you still good to go?
Ikaruga: I should be asking you that.
Arata: H-Heh...! I can do this all day. Hmph!
I throw the knife at her.
Ikaruga: Tch...!
Shing...!
She parries my attack.
My knife flies into the air.
Arata: I'M NOT DONE YET!!!
I sprint towards Ikaruga.
I grab the knife.
Ikaruga: Ah...!
Arata: Hah!
Kiriya: Enough!
Arata: ....
Ikaruga: ....
My knife was inches away from Senpai's stomach.
Kiriya: ....Arata is the winner.
Arata/Ikaruga: ....
Everyone: .....
Arata: ....I...won?
Asuka: You....Arata You won!!
Everyone gathered around me and Ikaruga.
Yagyu: You did it Arata.
Hibari: You actually beat Ikaruga!
Katsuragi: That was so cool! I never woulda' thought you'd ACTUALLY beat her.
Ikaruga: .....I...lost? To...Ara-chan?
Kiriya: ....? Ara-Chan?
Ikaruga: *Blush* eh!? Sorry Sensei, phew...that was a shock, looks like I need a lot more training if I lost to a newbie.
Kiriya: ....No. You didn't lose because you lack training.
Ikaruga: eh?
Kiriya: Arata....it was as if I was watching Hikage herself on the battlefield...
Ikaruga: what does that mean?
Kiriya: ........Just a theory... Don't mind me. Don't you have something to say to...uh..."Ara-chan" was it?
Ikaruga: *Blush* Please forget about that!
Arata: Senpai I won!
Ikaruga: Y-Yeah, Don't rub it in please.
Arata: ...
I bow to Ikaruga.
Ikaruga: What are you-?
Arata: Thank you for not holding back. I still have a long way to go, so please continue training me.
.....
........
............Ikaruga: ....Yeah, Of Course I'll keep training you.
Katsuragi: Oi oi, You can count on us too ya'know.
Asuka: Yup, let's work hard together!
Yagyu: I...*Blush* I would like to train you as well.
Hibari: Yup yup, let's train together Sakamachi-kun
Kiriya: .....
Arata: Sensei? What's wrong?
Kiriya: O-Oh nothing, just impressed is all.
Later that night...
Arata: *Sigh* I'm so tired...
Yagyu: Well you did just have a duel with a senior, I wouldn't be surprised if you passed out.
Arata: Right? Pretty sure If I close my eyes I WILL pass out.
Yagyu: You should get some rest.
Arata: Waaaay ahead of you....
...
......
..........Yagyu: ....
______________
He's asleep.
Yagyu: Now then...
I jump out his window.
Yagyu: It's not nice to snoop.
"Hoh...? How long have you known I was out here?"
Yagyu: For a while now.
Tall...black hair... looks to be about the same height as Arata.....could he possibly be a student....
He's also wearing...that...
Yagyu: I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
"I was about to, There's really not much information I can get when he's sleeping."
Yagyu: Information? You're not here to kill him?
"Well I can but I wouldn't gain anything by doing so."
Yagyu: ...?
"Don't lump me in with those idiots who are trying to kill him. I'm not scared of the "Prophecy", it didn't state that I would die or anything"
He starts walking in the opposite direction.
Yagyu: ....
"....ah....but if he does get in the way of MY goals....then I might just have to get in the way of His."
He disappeared into the night.
Yagyu: .....
To be continued...
