Trouble

Sanjiro smirked.

He dodged Elaine's and Chris' punch by ducking down, Elaine and Chris fell down, Alex also missed his shot then Sanjiro got up and using open fist on Alex's chest he again fell down.

The three of them huffed.

"Numbers aren't always important to win a fight, coordination and focus are required to win a fight"

Suddenly Abby punched from behind but he was blocked by water.

"You lost Mr.Arai, you said anyone can try and you can't use elements," Abby said

Sanjiro was surprised by Abby's words. "This is getting interesting," he thought in his mind

"Yeah, this is my loss, by the way, did you complete your laps?"

"Yes"

"Where is Ray?"

"He is lying down after completing"

"Hmmm at least he completed"

"Mr.Arai what about a 1v1, I get to use my element and you are free to use your hands and legs," Abby asked

"You sure Abby? even the three of them can't land a hit while being handicap do you think you have a chance." Sanjiro said.

" You can also attack," Abby said with a straight face and ignored Sanjiro's word

"As you wish"

Before the sparring started Ray appeared behind Abby.

"Can I also try?" Ray said with hesitation

"Yes, why not if Abby doesn't mind" Sanjiro replied

"Ok, just support from behind," Abby said

Abby was standing and also Sanjiro, both of them didn't move for seconds, Sanjiro then decided to attack, he held his legs high and aimed for a kick, Abby clearly saw the trajectory of the kick and he thought Sanjiro will aim for high, but suddenly when Abby was ready to block the high kick, the trajectory changed downwards, Sanjiro hit Abby's legs which made Abby fall.

Then Sanjiro aimed for a punch on Abby's face who was down, but suddenly "Kick his elbows" Ray heard a voice, he didn't know who said that but without thinking he tried to kick Sanjiro's upper elbow, but Sanjiro saw that coming and backed down.

"You are also in hig-" Sanjiro was saying but, suddenly rods appeared piercing the ground beneath him, he jumped backward to avoid, It was Abby he used his earth elements to make long and sharp rods made up of rocks.

"You sure are different than other beginners, you can already use your elements huh"

Suddenly Ray swings a punch from behind.

Sanjiro barely saw that punch coming, and avoid it jumping backward again. "I was unable to sense nor hear him, how did he appear behind me"

"My body is getting hot again, what were those voices I heard, my body automatically followed the instructions that were given by him"

Ray heard the voice inside his head, at first, it was "Kick his elbows", then "go behind him", "throw a punch"

Ray was totally confused why this was happening to him.

As Sanjiro jumped backward, Abby attacked with the rod he created but Sanjiro jumped up very high and said "Looks like its time to get serious guys", while in the air.

But Ray's body was getting hot, he couldn't bear it and fell unconscious.

It was all dark Ray opened his eyes, he saw white shadow of a boy, he was frightened and jumped back.

"Wh-Who is you," Ray asked with a frightened look.

"Me? I am you, you are me" He replied

Ray was smart enough to understand that these powers were because of this shadow, he didn't ask any further questions "So what do you want from me, I'm pretty sure you are inside me"

"What do you want in exchange for this power," Ray asked

"As expected of myself I'm smart enough. What would I exchange with myself"

Ray was confused as to why he was referring to 'myself'

"We will merge someday, so lemme share the maximum memory I can do in this state"

"Hey, I won't let you merge with me"

"Idiot, you are already me"

"Wait" Ray yelled, but colorful bright lights hit his eyes and he woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Yuna sitting there.

"Oh you woke up, I didn't know you were in the same school as my br-" Yuna didn't complete the sentence and Ray suddenly kissed her.

"Yuna looks very beautiful in this dream, I wish I could kiss her in real life," Ray thought. But he was already in reality.

Yuna slapped him. "Yo.. You" her eyes filled with tears. Abby and Alex entered the room.

"What happened Yuna?". Ray asked but she ran away out of the room as she closed her eyes.

"Hey punk, what did you do to Abby's sister," Alex asked

"Abby's sister?"

"She's my Uncle's daughter," Abby said with a poker face

Ray was terrified, "If Abby knew I kissed her sister will he kill me! No, I can't die yet"

"Hey?" Alex asked again.

"Ah, we-we work same at same part-time Caffe, that's why"

"But why was she crying," Alex asked

"Leave it, how are you now," Abby asked.

"I'm feeling better, where am I?"

"This is my room," Abby said.

"Oh," Ray was looking around his room, and he saw the clock, it was time for his part-time job. "Ahh, I'm late gotta hurry, thankyou Abby". Ray hurried

He reached the cafe in a rush, he saw Yuna wasn't here yet, he asked the manager if Yuna is late or not, he wanted to apologize to her.

"She is on leave," the manager said

"Oh"

The next day after the classes were over, The 5 of them reached the ground Sanjiro asked Ray and to do 10 laps again and asked Elaine, Chris, and Alex to spar each other with the methods written in the book which he had given, he started teaching Abby about Kajukenbo that there is three class with three degrees in each of them. The first class is called "Class-Leader" with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree, The second class is called "White Clover" with 4th 5th and 6th degree, third class is called "Master Class" with "master", "senior master" and "grandmaster", The grandmaster is at peak of martial arts.

"I have reached till 6th degree only, those who enter the "Master Class" can even defeat more than 100 people single-handedly, and if an Elemental reach "Master Class" he is supposed to be higher than S rank Elemental"

"So you are only one class behind to become an S rank Elemental," Abby asked

"Haha, It's very hard to enter Master Class, also I'm 40 now I will retire in few years"

Sanjiro started sparing with Abby, and Ray joined them after completing the laps.

"You sure you won't fall again Ray" Sanjiro laughed

"Don't mock me sir" Ray said

This time ray didn't hear any sound from inside him rather his head was filled with strange moves, he could also see Sanjiro's steps, hands, and movements in slow motion.

"This maybe because of that white shadow, what does he need in return," Ray thought while observing, and Sanjiro attacked him suddenly Ray although saw the fist coming towards him, he wasn't fast enough to avoid it, but he balanced himself and avoided most of the damage and fell.

"Nice observations Ray" Sanjiro praised.

4 days passed after this everyday Ray would train after the class and work part-time, but he didn't see Yuna last 4 days.

"Is she still angry with me? I should visit her and explain everything" *Sigh*

Ray decided to visit Abby's house after the job, he knocked on the door, and Abby opened the door

"Ah, Hello sorry to disturb you" Ray greeted

"Not at all, Alex is also here, come in"

"Thankyou"

Alex was sitting on the couch and watching the videos Sanjiro gave him, it was evening and the sky was dark red. Alex was busy watching the fight moves, he ignored Ray.

"Yuna, wasn't coming for last few days so, I-I came to check if everything is fine," Ray said

"Why don't you ask her then"

"Ah, well I am not close enough to her"

"Ok," Abby said and entered Yuna's room. Yuna was covered with a blanket and her eyes were red

"Hey Ray asked why aren't you going for part-time" Abby said coldly

"I should tell this to brother, I'm scared," Yuna thought

"Br-Brother, a boy has been following me, he asked me to spend a night with him, I rejected but he started following me with many other boys daily after school and after part-time, he said his brother is elemental I better do what I'm asked to, I-I'm scared what to do?" Yuna's voice was trembling as she cried explaining the story

"So? it doesn't concern me," Abby said and closed the door

Abby went towards Alex and said, "Alex let's go!". Alex saw Abby's fist clenched and the aura around him changed, he had a furious and murderous look, Alex got scared he knew only one thing can make Abby this angry, that is something happened to Yuna.

"Yeah!", Alex stood up and said in rage
