Chapter 173 ( Batsuzangaisei Ceremony )
"I didn't expect so many people gathered..." - Cloud said as he looked around, especially at the building that was in a slight state of disrepair, although it was clear that he still had a good few decades to continue fighting.
"This is a Nangokuren tradition, it's obviously going to be a crowded event"-Meru replied as she walked towards the blond boy.
"Ready to fight?" Cloud asked excitedly when he saw that his opponent had arrived.
"Are you sure you're not related to Kyōka?" - Meru asked curiously - "Perhaps a lost brother?"
". . ." -Cloud turned his eyes to the girl while he saw how Okina appeared in the place.
"I see I'm here on time" - nodded the sexy teacher - "Good! It's time for us to start the Batsuzangaisei Ceremony!"
"Batsuzangaisei ceremony?" Cloud asked as he frowned and gave the third-year girl a look.
"Didn't you inform him, Hatenko?" Okina asked as she looked at the young blonde girl.
"Teehee~!" Meru just stuck out her tongue as she looked at the teacher with a smile.
Okina just sighed ruefully as she explained what the Batsuzangai Ceremony was.
"We just have to destroy a building?" Cloud asked as he frowned in disappointment. He expected something more exciting than just destroying a building.
"Ok, let's do this... if you manage to destroy your half before me, we will fight" - Meru said with a small smile.
"You have a deal"-nodded the first year boy while he looked at the building with neutrality.
"You know the rules, whoever manages to destroy their assigned side first, will be the winner of the Batsuzangaisei Ceremony" - Okina said as she watched in surprise as Meru's red hamster jumped between her enormous breasts - "Ahem! As I was saying, the winner will have the privilege of having their name on the new building that is built on top of the one they just destroyed!"
Okina pointed to one of the cliffs surrounding Nangokuren - "That is the Ren Building, named after Gentōryū, who managed to destroy it by herself in an hour"
"You can start!" Okina exclaimed as she watched as Meru ran towards the building. Cloud for his part, just walked calmly as he watched as the girl began to hit the building with all her might.
* * * * *
"I think someone didn't wake up motivated" - Ryōko with disdain while the others let out a laugh seeing how Cloud seemed to have given up before starting.
Rino on the other hand, only felt her heart pounding as she saw how an unknown aura surrounded the blonde's body as he walked.
* * * * *
"I see someone is upset with the situation"-Kyoka said while she let out a laugh. She could instinctively feel how furious Cloud was knowing that he just had to attack a building.
"Upset?" - Chiyoko asked with surprise - "I see it as normal"
"No...he's furious"-Kyoka replied seriously-"I can feel it in his aura"
* * * * *
"Oh-ho…" Shizuka said as she earned the gaze of the girls around her, "Cloud-chan is upset…"
"Seriously?" - Keiko asked with surprise - "I see it the same way"
"No…" Ayane replied seriously, "Sensei is angry…I guess he wanted to fight Hatenko and things didn't go his way"
"You're beginning to understand Cloud-chan, Ayane-chan~" - Shizuka smiled - "Do you like him?"
"Wa! N-No! He is my teacher, my sensei!" Ayane exclaimed, her face red with embarrassment.
* * * * *
"?" -Meru looked in the direction of her opponent, only to notice how he had finally reached the building.
"Any type of 'Martial Art' can be used... can't it?" Cloud asked as he looked at Okina and Meru who nodded. "I just have to destroy it no matter the method?"
The two women again nodded.
"Ok…" the blonde agreed as he concentrated the mana in his fist which slowly began to light up like a torch-"I recommend you back off, Meru-san… Karyū no Tekken!"
"Shit!" Meru exclaimed as she backed away at high speed, only to see how the redhead's fist collided with the building, setting it on fire in the process-"!"
"!" - The others present were also surprised but their expressions changed when they saw how after a few seconds the building turned into nothing more than ashes - ". . ."
A deep silence invaded the place while Cloud gave Meru a look - "I hope that was enough, now I want our fight"
"Oh... right..." - Meru agreed with perplexity. She still couldn't digest what had happened.
"W-Winner! Cloud Strife!" Okina exclaimed when she regained consciousness.
"I'm going to wait until you're ready"-Cloud said as he left-"We're leaving"
"Hai!" - exclaimed the members of Cloud's group as they left.
". . ." -Rino looked in the direction where Cloud was seriously while he analyzed everything that had happened.
"Rino-sama..." - Shū said seriously.
"Let's go..." - ordered Rino seriously. Now that Meru had been defeated in the Batsuzangai Ceremony, it meant that her goal had changed to a much more difficult and dangerous one.
"Hai!" - The second year girls exclaimed as they followed their leader.
"I told you so"-Kyoka smiled as she watched the blonde leave with his small group-"If it wasn't for him being upset, he would have destroyed the building with many more moves"
"That boy is a monster..." - Misa murmured with terror.
"But that monster is the one that is helping me evolve on this path" - Kyōka said seriously - "He is my guide to the future on my path towards martial arts"
"Kyōka… you've been acting strange lately…" Chiyoko said as she looked at her leader "Before you wouldn't have done anything but run at Strife and fight him"
"I know... but I'm not ready yet..." -answered Kyōka seriously-"That blow he gave to the building, was the same one he gave me, only at low power"
"!" - The girls widened their eyes when they heard that because they thought the blow would be strong but never so strong.
"I will face him when I can survive that blow" - replied Kyōka seriously - "In the meantime, I will continue training to be able to defeat him"
"What shall we do for now, Kyōka-sama?" Kako asked seriously as she watched as all the students left the place, leaving only Okina who was looking at the now in ashes building and Meru, who was thinking about the technique she had seen.
"Nothing..." - replied the third year dragon - "The Bakugyaku Festival is just around the corner"
"Right! I had forgotten in surprise at seeing that blonde monster's technique!" - Misa exclaimed with terror.
"Who do you think will be the first place of the First Years, Kyōka-sama?" Kako asked as she looked at her leader
"I'm sure you know who it will be"-the Dragon replied as she let out a laugh-"This will be fun..."
". . ." - The other girls trembled when they heard this because they could imagine the suffering they would have if they faced Kyōka and Cloud.
"I'm starting to get stomach aches…" Chiyoko muttered.
"This is a test imposed on us by Kyōka-sama..." - Kako murmured - "It is a test of our loyalty and conviction..."
"I'm scared!" - Misa exclaimed with fear.
"Glad I'm not in the top 5 hahaha~!" Honory exclaimed.
"That means you're an idiot" - Kako replied while the others nodded.
"Hears!" - exclaimed the leader of the cheer squad.
"If they've stopped playing, it's better that we leave"-Kyoka said as she started to walk away from the place.
"Wait for us, Kyoka!" - The girls exclaimed as they followed their leader.
* * * * *
"That technique…" Rintarō muttered as he looked in the direction where the first-year friend had gone, "His destructive power is unmatched by anything he's seen before…"
"I guess this is what my father was referring to when he said that among the talents, there was never a monster"-murmured the black-haired boy as he left.
* * * * *
"What do you think, Hatenko?" Okina asked as she looked at the third year girl.
"That if he can attack like that, he should learn the Shōryūken"-Meru replied with a big smile on her face.
"You should stop your obsession with video games"-Okina sighed as she shook her head.
"Don't even dream of it! Video games are my passion!" Meru exclaimed seriously.
"I guess it's impossible to make you change your mind"-said the teacher as she looked at her student, or rather, her former student.
"Exactly, everything is settled" - Meru replied seriously - "My flight is about to leave and there is nothing to stop me in Nangokuren now that I have been defeated"
"I can only wish you the best of luck if everything is settled"-Okina sighed as she gave the girl a smile-"Good luck, Hatenko Meru"
"Thank you very much, Ashura Okina" - Meru smiled as she looked at the only person besides them - "Erin... I want you to follow Cloud Strife and help him with the conquest of Nangokuren... I'm sure he will appreciate it." your information-gathering skills"
(OK)-whispered the white-haired girl as she gave her friend one last hug.
"Don't worry... remember that I still owe Cloud a fight" - Meru said - "I'm sure we'll see each other again soon... much sooner than you think"
Erin nodded and then left, she had a lot of work to do from now on, although seeing who her allies were, it seems that the future would not be so boring.
