Chapter 16 - Do You Ever Consider?

(Uranohoshi Girls High Rooftop)

(Leon POV)

A text???? NOW??!

(Kasumi - Leo-Senpai! Ayumu-senpai told me you visited the Aqours! Why aren't you back yet...did they took you from us!?) Well...I mean they kinda did when I had to take the role of martial artist individual to help them with their missing member... (Club President Leo - Yes they have stolen me sorry Kasumi) "NOOOOOOOOOO" Kasumi replied quickly (Club President Leo - I was obviously kidding Kasumi but I did have to take the role for the Aqours so it might be lived at the Summer Festival till it's over then I'll head on back to check on you guys alright) (Kasumi - Jeez Leo-Senpai don't do that I almost told Ayumu about it... and alrighty you be careful and make it back one piece!) (Club President Leon - Alright you got it)

I finished with just that then turned noticed others were getting stretched and ready alright Leon time to see what the Aqours can do in their training days...

"One two three...and good stretch!" You yelled "Hanamaru and Ruby are late...I wonder what happened...?" Riko asked worried "Yeah they are never this late..." Dia said concerned "Tch..." Ruin said growled "Easy boy," I said as they noticed Ruin in his champion state getting irritated "...I'm sure they are just running late" I said calm tone "...Right" Ruin said as doors got opened "S-Sorry we are a little late zura" Hanamaru said sweatdrop "Sorry!" Ruby yelled at Leonidas and Ruin sighed with relief "You two are very late! Our dance set is at two for reason in the afternoon roof today" Dia said strict tone "S-Sorry" Hanamaru said flinched "Both of you must have gotten caught up on your writing script. It's good you're working hard to for the festival" I said stretching still looked at Leonidas and Ruin both in champion forms "I know everyone is very busy for the festival preparations, but keeping a schedule is a basis to everyday life. You're only inconveniencing yourselves if you don't" Dia said (I mean she makes the great point) I thought stretching but I realized didn't apologize to Chika yet...I need to and well uh re-check on Riko...since well she did save my life... I looked at the handkerchief in my hand one that Riko wipes my head with while I was knockout fully clean too...

"Now now, that's enough Dia. Ruby and Hanamaru please stretch, I know the run must have warmed you up but it's good to check" Kanan said soft tone (She's sure the most causal type) I thought sweatdrop "So what are we doing Leon?" Leonidas asked "Yeah I was curious too" Ruin said confused "I want you to try to go beyond the forms you are currently in well I had the pendants over your necks while I held on to the missing piece of this key for something..." I explained looking at it for a bit "It seems to be a lock for something old" Ruin said scanning it "Hey Leon are you okay it looks like something bothering you" Chika said concerned expression "Huh?!" I yelled flinched looked up aimed with blue wind energy sphere as I slowly closed my eyes breathe in and out...

"Sorry, Chika...I was just a little bothered I didn't say anything you were waiting for me" I said nervously "Hmm.." Chika said put her hand over my shoulder "Huh??" I asked confused "You look like saw something terrible," Chika said concerned "Just bad daydream that's all," I said sweatdrop "Well don't sweat it, Leon I hope you didn't get lost in school," Chika said nervously "Nah I was able to get by and help Yoshiko, You, Ruby, and Hanamaru with festival preparations," I said smiled "Great! I was a little worried" Chika said nervously "Hey you feeling okay?" Riko asked "Ah Riko yeah thanks to you," I said smiled "Ughh so tired," Leonidas said reverted to rookie form "Same..." Ruin said both looked at us "Here your handkerchief you left it in the shrine and well it was really dirty" I said sweatdrop "Oh thanks Leon" Riko said smiled both hand touch then spark flared over Leonidas and Ruin they glowed then faded to normal "H-Huh???" I asked shocked "Woah I feel way energized," Leonidas said shocked expression "Same here" Ruin said confused (...Huh??) I thought confused as my entire body did feel different like something happened... (I feel way more different than yesterday...) I thought confused expression...

"So anyway looks like they are done for the day," I said smiled "Do you think I can watch you guys practice?" I asked confused expression "Sure thing! What about you join us? Show us what you got!" You yelled "Uhh well they did prefer me being with them during the practice but I was only helping them," I said nervously chuckled "Oh?" Dia asked "Wha??" I asked flinched "How about you show me what you can do while leading," Dia said smiled "Well uhh I could try," I said sweatdrop went to take the lead...

(30 mins later)

"...Woah hey easy there Hanamaru," I said sweatdrop "That quick spin could get you hurt," I said "R-Right my bad zura" Hanamaru said sweatdrop "Hmm??" I asked confused checking on her lower ankle (...Not a big fracture or anything I guess from muscle strain) I thought sweatdrop "Does that hurt at all Hanamaru?" I asked "No only stings," Hanamaru said sweatdrop "Well take easy on the leg alright don't wanna get a bad injury while the festival is on its way alright," I said "Okay," Hanamaru said smiled "Well everyone takes a break for now," I said as everyone nodded... "So that's brief of what you usually do?" Dia asked "Yeah only for brief 30 mins," I said sweatdrop "Alright I guess I would take my time to show you now," Dia said smiled...

"OKAY, EVERYONE! Let's check our dance formation. Everyone in position!" Dia yelled (Hmm) I thought confused expression watching them...

Even if they don't have a song yet for the festival they are pretty good flawless in choreography "Okay that enough takes ten everyone" Dia said as I looked over at Leonidas and Ruin bored doing workouts as I was doing a plank for a bit... "Phew, I'm beat!" Chika yelled "Great work everyone here's some towels and drinks," I said "Thank you Rainbow student! This towel feels nice and soft!" Mari yelled "Thank you it seems like you're turning into our servant or something," Kanan said "Well I will do what I can to help out," I said smiled turned looked at the sky for a bit "...Leon everything okay?" Riko asked while I looked around glaring down...

(Astral Chain - Rush)

"...Show yourself now!" I yelled created Starlight Sky blade throwing it barely cut something "Heh interesting I wonder how you can figure me out" ??? said arms crossed "Who are you?!" I yelled, "So you're the one who destroyed King Xeterios spirit you're full of surprises aren't you?" ??? said, "Leon I got a very bad feeling about this!" Leonidas yelled "Yeah me too," I said hesitated expression "So come on show me the power of that sword of yours!" ??? yelled spinning violet energy spear around his entire body jumped down "You asked for it, pal!" I yelled both glaring down "HAAAA!!" I yelled charged at the Masked figure both clashed he went for lounges as I flinched barely dodge got hit piece of my shirt got ripped but kick his gut sending him back from us "You should quit and leave before things are starting to get ugly" I said glaring down "Now where the fun would be at-....hehe nevermind call yourself luckily buddy" Masked Figure said "I will be back and we will finish our little duel here" ??? said backflip jump off as I sighed fell to my knees reverted from Burst Form...

"Agghh ow ow ow," I said collapse "Leon! Hey!" Chika yelled rushed over "I got it!" Leonidas said grab the piece of metal out of my lower stomach "It doesn't look bad as it thinks but jeez...stings aha" I said nervously chuckled "Just some bandages will wrap that injury real quick" Ruin said "I got the bandages" You said while Chika had wet towel gently tapping the wound... "Y-You know I could do this myself..." I said sweatdrop "That's not funny Leon!" Chika yelled, "You're lucky it was like an actual stab wound!" Kanan yelled "That spear isn't just a normal one it had energy too but corrupted that type of weapon and Zerrick knife they can kill us," Leonidas said as I nodded "Well we better keep our heads up then...thanks Riko and everyone," I said as she finishes wrapping the bandage over my stomach...

(30 mins later)

I was a little bit resting but saw Dia doing something so I went to investigate... "Umm hey Dia," I said "Leon? Shouldn't you be resting?" Dia asked "I'll be alright I was wondering what you're up to," I said sweatdrop "Hey don't be so formal with me and well writing the lessons in our notebook," Dia said smiled (I figured) I thought (Though it's how crazy while watching Aqours up close like this shows how really advance they are in practice) I thought confused "Would you liked to see it?" Dia asked "HUH?" I asked shocked "Well if you don't mind then I will," I said looked reading into it..."Whoa...there's like almost everything written here...like today lesson everyone condition and even the festival prep work it's very detailed compared to mine" I said shocked "Keeping a well-detailed log allow us to access the time we need to create each part of our performance. We also have an estimate of our capabilities and our next schedule" Dia explained "I see. Condition is also very important" I said confused expression "I have everyone take care of their own health but sometimes not everyone would notice when you don't. One can't be too careful" Dia said concerned expression "I agree mostly do my stuff similar to but mostly writing logs about what's going on," I said smiled "Taking notes on club members, always watching them on the sidelines on the stage. Cheering idols because you loved them" Dia said "Yeah that's what I do other than trying to save the residents from the criminal activity which I rarely do here since not that much activity but if it gets too crazy I step in with Leonidas and now Ruin" I said slowly smiled "Have you?" Dia asked "Hm?" I asked confused slowly able to fully stand "Have you ever consider standing on the stage and perform yourself?" Dia asked "...Well if you want to know I used to be a guitarist for few bands in the back while the singer does his/her thing" I said confused "It was a long time ago though back in middle school" I said smiled "I see. Did something happened to you?" Dia asked (...You think of going up there to perform don't make me laugh you can barely stand up to yourself! Sebastian yelled laughed "Remember this Leon you are always alone don't you understand loser!" Frank yelled shove me to ground as Rick kick my chest and Vincent punch my chest then Sebastian chuckled watching me get beaten up into crisp) I thought slowly smiled at Dia "No I was well lost the motivation to do again but it would be funny to see me performing after all this time on the good old guitar" I said smiled "...Hey, we all gotta start somewhere" Dia said hands over my trembled fingers "One time when it's right then maybe I will find my answer" I said slowly smiled "I'm just glad Nijigasaki gets to have someone wonderful as you" Dia said smiled...

...
