(Minoseki Academy's Dorm)
(Kouji's Room)
The whole world was still reeling in from the edge as the strange phenomenon that happened back in the Tokyo ward. But back in the Minoseki Academy's dorm, the students are still quite lively as if they are trying to stay so despite the desperate situation. With that said, right now Kouji was climbing up the ledge of the building, climbing from side to side until he finally arrived at the window of his room.
Kouji: *pant* *pant* *pant* Phew...... Finally...... (Kouji said as he lay on his back out of exhaustion from climbing the building) Thank goodness nobody realized that I'm home.......
Gekiryuken: If you don't want to do something so bothersome, why wouldn't you just go through the front door?
Kouji: Yeah, right. As if I have the face to meet them right now.
Gekiryuken: Then when are you planning to properly apologize to them?
Kouji: Uh...... S-someday! (Kouji answered awkwardly) Someday I'll properly apologize to them!
Gekiryuken: Uh-huh....... Someday...... (Gekiryuken said sarcastically)
Kouji: Hey, what's that tone of talking supposed to mean?!
Gekiryuken: Nothing in particular.
Kouji: Hey! That was definitely sarcasm, right? That was sarcasm!!!!
Gekiryuken: I don't know what you're talking about.
Kouji: Don't play dumb, you little-
Just then, as Kouji and Gekiryuken continue to bicker, the door to his room suddenly opens which causes Kouji to immediately hide under the blankets.
Kouji: Oh crap! (Kouji said as he immediately hid under the blanket and began making up some excuses) Uh....... T-There's nobody here! It's just some burglar that is hiding under the blankets.
Gekiryuken: Burglar?
Kouji: Shut up!!! It's the best excuse that I could come up with right now!!! U-uhh........ Oh! You guys can run along now!!! (Kouji said in a panic tone)
A silence then began to spread between Kouji and the person that has entered the room before suddenly, Kouji could feel an arm that is patting his back.
Mai: Narukami-san....... It's Narukami-san right?...... (Mai said in a relieved tone)
Kouji: Err..... Y-you got the wrong person, Mai.
Mai: Don't play dumb! (Mai said as she let Kouji go and pulled Kouji by the ear)
Kouji: Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow!!!! Alright!!! Alright!!!! I'll admit it!! I'll admit it!!
When Kouji finally got off the blanket and she saw his face properly, Mai leaned down and gave Kouji a hug.
Kouji: Errr...... Mai?
Mai: Thank goodness....... Thank goodness...... You're alright....... (Mai said as she hugged Kouji tightly as if she was not willing to let her go anywhere)
Kouji: Yeah, I'm fine...... but...... I could feel your chest you know..... (Kouji said awkwardly)
Upon realizing this fact, Mai immediately slapped Kouji right in the face and took a few steps back.
Mai: K-KYAAA!!!!
*smack*
Kouji: O-ow...... That was........ Right in the spot...... (Kouji said as he held his cheek in pain)
Mai: I-i'm sorry, Narukami-san!!! (Mai said as she fluttered around in embarrassment a bit before helping Kouji) Are you alright?
Kouji: Y-yeah....... Thank goodness that I didn't lose any of my teeth.
After settling down, Kouji then began asking Mai some questions.
Kouji: So, how come you entered my room?
Mai: I heard something was being noisy when I passed by your room, Narukami-san. That's why I came here to check. But..... Why are you climbing from the ledge?
Kouji: Oh..... That...... I....... Uh...... Well, I don't really need to explain, do I?
Mai then diverted her eyes away from Kouji and entered an uneasy silence.
Kouji: How are the others?
Mai: Me, Sayaka-chan, Ellen-chan, and Kaoru-chan are still doing Aradama subjugation day by day. We all believe that this would be the right thing to do.......
Kouji: I see....... And...... what about her?
Mai: As for Kanami-chan....... (Mai said as she began to have a troubled look on her face) She's been training herself in the Dojo each time before and after a mission.......
Kouji: .........
Mai: Hey, Narukami-san....... I heard from Kanami-chan....... that it's because you said she was weak.......
Kouji stayed silent even after that.
Kouji: .......
Mai: We may be weak on our own but at the very least we can still be some of the help to you that's why....... if you would apologize-
Kouji: Ah Ah!! (Kouji said as he suddenly cut Mai off) Stop there! That may be true that what I said back then was harsh to her. But..... I'm not planning to take any of it back.
Mai: Eh?! Kanami-chan is suffering because of you!!!!!! (Mai retorted)
Kouji: I'll admit it, there should be a better way to relay the message to her, but my point still stands. At this rate, we won't be able to defeat Tagitushime. On top of that, my power will not be enough. That's why I'll need all of you to be stronger.
Mai: ...........
Kouji: But you know, I'm not the kind of person who just moves his mouth....... That's why, I'll make sure Kanami- No, all of you can be more of a meat shield!!!!!
Mai: Narukami-san....... (Mai said as she looked at Kouji with a relieved smile)
(Timeskip)
(Minoseki Academy Dojo)
Kanami: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
In the Dojo, Kanami is the only one who is swinging her sword, even though all of her friends, including Mai, are telling her that rest is necessary. Kanami just ignored all of it and continued to swing her sword.
Inner Kanami: I have to be stronger...... So much stronger....... Stronger than him!!!!!
With such anger in mind, Kanami continues to train herself beyond what her body could handle.
Kanami: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
As Kanami continues to swing her sword, the last person that she expected suddenly bursts into the Dojo with a bang.
Kouji: COMING IN!!!!
Of course, this caught Kanami off guard and forced her to stop her swing.
Kanami: .......
Kouji: ........
Both Kanami and Kouji then began to stare at each other silently for a few seconds before she suddenly began to speak.
Kanami: What..... do you want here?
Kouji: .......
Kanami: I'm weak, right? You don't have a business with a weakling, right? (Kanami said as she glared at Kouji)
Kouji: Yeah, you're right. With the way you are right now, you're nothing but a weakling who won't be able to protect anything. That's why....... (Without any hesitation, Kouji then jumped forward toward Kanami and slashed at her using a wooden sword while Kanami was using her Okatana)
Kanami: G-GUHHH!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?????!!!!
Kouji: That's why........ I'll MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN GROW STRONGER!!!!!!! (Kouji said as he continued to attack Kanami using his wooden sword) HAAAAA!!!!
Both Kanami and Kouji continued to swing swords at each other, with Kanami getting slashed right at her blind spot every single time she tried to push forward toward him. This occurs each time until Kanami falls down to her knees out of exhaustion.
Kanami: *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*........
Kouji: What's wrong? Is that all you got? (Kouji said in a condescending tone) At this rate, forget to defeat Tagitsuhime, you won't be able to defend yourself.
Kanami: No, not yet......
Kouji: What's that? I couldn't hear you due to all the losses that you're going through.
Kanami: HAAAAAAA!!!!!
Kanami then stood up, held her head up high, and continued to rush forward towards Kouji. Kouji then prepares to receive Kanami's strike upfront. But instead of going up front against Kouji just as Kouji would do it, Kanami then performed a fake move and aimed for Kouji's lower abdomen which caught Kouji off guard. Kouji then immediately backed off a few steps and Kanami then used this chance to strike Kouji right in front of him who was still unbalanced which he could barely avoid.
Inner Kouji: Changing you're fighting style, huh? Not bad....... But it won't be enough to stop me!
Getting impatient, Kouji then also charges forward with a piercing technique by which Kanami responds by bending her sword backward to receive the strike while at the same time, moving forward towards Kouji. But Kouji was aiming for Kanami to do this counter as he immediately let go of the sword and proceeded to use close-quarter combat technique to catch Kanami in an arm lock that would be really hard to get out from.
Kouji: How's that for creativity?
Kanami, who is still wouldn't willing to give up this fight then immediately twisted her body around Kouji's and escaped from the arm lock before swiftly going for her sword. Realizing that Kouji was still not prepared to counter her attack this time, Kanami immediately got on top of Kouji and aimed her sword directly at Kouji before proceeding to thrust it directly at Kouji. In that split second, Kouji manages to avoid it by sliding his head by a hairbreadth to the side.
Kanami/ Kouji: *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant*
Kanami: It's...... *pant* *pant*....... My win.......
