Honoka: U-U-Uwahh! I'm SO SORRY KABIRIN-SAN!!
Shiki: I-It's all...good.
I sit up.
Shiki: Hmm...Nice punch...10/10 would turn into a masochist.
Honoka: E...Eh?
Shiki: Say, Do you practice martial arts?
Honoka: Yeah! Though...I mostly imitate others rather than learning on my own.
.....Hoooh? ......No, I promised myself I would not anymore......BUT.....I...I...
I suddenly feel a strong sense of excitement.
Shiki: Hmph...Wanna Spar?
Honoka: eh?
Shiki: I'm pretty good myself...So? Wanna spar?
Honoka: ....Y-Yeah!
I stand up and put on my Special glove on my left hand. No bullshit, I have "powers" on my left hand...it's too powerful, even I cannot contain it, Helena made this glove for me, I dunno how, but it keeps my powers to a bare minimum.
...........No it's not Chuunibyo shut the fuck up.
Shiki: well then....shall we?
Honoka: *Nod*
She gets into her fighting stance
Honoka: .....EIIIYAA!!
She tries to punch me but I evade.
Shiki: kuh..! Ya!
I graple her and pin her down, I then unleash my Left hand's power. A blue aura appeared on my left hand.....and that...is...
Shiki: Checkmate.
Honoka: Ah....Haha. You're pretty good Kabirin-San.
I held out my hand and helped her up.
Shiki: oh...Just Shiki is Fine.
Honoka: A-Ah...then *Blush* Shiki-Kun?
Shiki: .....Yeah, You're pretty good too, had you not punched me earlier you would have won. I merely studied how fast your hit was.
Honoka: woah, Amazing....By the way....Your hand...
Shiki: Oh this? I don't know where my power came from, I was born with it.
Honoka: Then your Just like me!
She leans towards me....too close. Her face is too close!
Shiki: *Blush* w-what do you mean by that?
Honoka: Look!
Ah...her hand....has a red aura...
Shiki: then...do you know where-
Honoka: Unfortunately I don't know either.
Shiki: Humu Humu... Well can't do anything about that....Well...I'll be leaving now, See you tomorrow Honoka.
Honoka: R-Right! See you tomorrow Shiki-Kun.
I leave the school.
Ah, crap, I'm late! Marie is probably at my place already.
I sprint all the way home.
Shiki's House...
Shiki: S-Sorry I'm late!
Marie: Ah! Shi-Kun! Welcome back.
Shiki: Sorry I took so long, I ended up Spar-
Marie: ....? Spar?
Shit! I can't tell her I had a match with Honoka.
Shiki: Spar....SPARTAAA!!!
Marie: You....Ended up at Sparta?
Shiki: Y-Yes?
Marie: .....Is this a Japanese pun I'm not getting?
Shiki: Yeeees? *ahem* anyway I'll go make the Prinsesstårta now.
Marie: Yaaay! ......wait....Why is your Restraint on?
Ah! I forgot to remove my glove!!!!
Marie: ....Shi-Kun....Did you...Figh-?
Shiki: Hey...Marie-Chan...
Marie: ......?
Shiki: Sorry...I just feel so happy right now. So let me borrow you for a sec.
I hug her.
Marie: *Blush* W-Wha-!? Shi-Kun!? Is something wrong?
Fighting Honoka, sparked something inside me....
Tears rolled down my face.
Marie: H-Hey, what's wrong? Tell me.
I let her go.
Shiki: Nah, It's nothing.
Marie: Shi-Kun, Come on, You trust me right? Tell me what's wrong?
Shiki: .......
...Yeah, I trust Marie, I'll tell her.
Shiki: ....As you can see my restraint is on, I'm pretty sure you can tell why.
Marie: .....Then does that mean-?
Shiki: yeah....probably. But I'd rather not ever do it again.
Marie: ...Shi-Kun.
Shiki: Haha, don't worry about me.
I pat her on the head.
Shiki: Ah! It's ready. Go sit down Mar-
Marie: Shi-Kun, I would like you to spar with me.
Shiki: ....Eh?
She had a face filled with determination.
Ah....I'm feeling it again....
........... Perhaps I really am made for this.
Shiki: Yeah! I wanna spar too! Okay let's head to the old battle grounds then.
I put the Desert I made in the fridge.
Shiki: ...Hey...You're not mad at me though right?
Marie: what? Of course not. I just wanna Spar with you.
Shiki: Ah~ I got worried there for a second, I thought you had started to hate my guts.
Marie: NO! Shi-Kun is my-
Shiki: ....Hm? "My?"
Marie: ....*Blush* can we just go now?
Shiki: 'kay~!
We head to the battle grounds....also known as my backyard.
Marie: Don't hold back.
She gets into her fighting position.
Shiki: yeah...
I do the same.
3....2....1...
Shiki: Huu!
I sprint towards her.
Marie: Too slow!
She punches me square in the face.
Shiki: I'm not done yet.
I unleash my left hand's power. 100....200....300%!!
I push her arm with 300% of my power!
Marie: Eeek!
She get's knocked back, while she tries to regain her balance, I push her down the ground.
Shiki: Check...mate....
Marie: ahh....Hehe...You're still just as good I see.
Shiki: Haha...You...aren't too bad your...self....
I pass out on top of Marie.
I feel like a Kid who's tired from an entire day of playing outside.
Shiki: Ah...You smell nice Marie-Chan...
Marie: ...*Blush* ....hehe....Idiot...
She embraces me....
Later...
After My duel with Marie we had dinner and she went home. I am now lying in my bed trying to relax after all the shit I went through today.
Hmm...So...I'm gonna be a fighter again huh...Maybe I should call Helena and tell her about it.
Helena: No need! I'M here!
She bursts into my bedroom
Shiki: AHHHH!!!! POLICE! THERE IS A CRAZY ESPER IN MY HOUSE!!!
Helena: Shhhhh!!!!
She jumps into my bed and covers my mouth with her hand.
Shiki: MRMRMRMRMMEMR!!!!!
Helena: Calm down!
Shiki: ........
Helena: Good.
She takes her hand off my mouth.
Shiki: How the hell did you even get through my locked door?
Helena: hoh...with this naturally.
She presents a lock pick.
Shiki: I fail to see how that is considered "Natural".
Helena: You bully! I came all this way to see you, and all you do is treat me like a monster.
Shiki: Correction, Criminal, not monster.
Helena: Same thing.
Shiki: *sigh* what do you want Helena?
Helena: Marie told me you're gonna be fighting again? I'm so happy!
Shiki: yeah, I met someone who...nevermind...can you leave now? I need sleep.
Helena: Before that, I have something to tell you. It is urgent.
Shiki: ...lay it on me.
She sits down next to me.
Helena: It's about Shiranui Aragaki.
Shiki: .......
Shiranui Aragaki....the one who made me drop my whole career, the one who almost killed my entire familly and Helena, The Bastard who did anything to win.
I clench my fist.
Helena: It seems he survived the explosion. There has been sightings of him in Brazil 5 months ago, India 4 months ago, London last month and Here in Japan, just 5 days ago.
Shiki: After all the shit he's already pulled....he's not done yet!?
Helena: Afraid not....*sigh* but anyway! Today is a happy day so...EY!!!
She pounces on me and nibbles on my neck.
Shiki: *Blush* Owowowowow! Helena! Stop it!
Helena: hmph! You've become so popular in under one day! Helena-Nee chan feels lonely!
Shiki: Grow up! *Blush* HIIIIIII!!!! Don't touch me theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!!!!!!!!!
Girls are So damn scary!!!!
