Chapter 180 ( Main incident )
"Where is Sensei?" Ayane asked as she looked around.
It had been two days since Cloud and Kyōka had started hanging out, and in the process becoming good friends, after all, they had a lot in common.
Bang!
The sound of an explosion echoed in the distance as the red-haired girl asked for the location of her Master.
"Probably fighting Kyōka-san"- Ayane replied as she shrugged and continued her training, only this time, she was training her speed, physical strength and flexibility- "He has been meeting with her for the past few years." days ..."
"You don't have a problem with that?" Makoto asked as she looked at Shizuka and Chifuyu.
In the least" Chifuyu replied as she shook her head, although this was because currently, she was only Cloud's partner.
"Cloud-chan would never leave us behind" - Shizuka smiled with a smile.
"There are times when I admire your confidence"-Ayane said as she shook her head at the blonde girl's attitude.
"Hehehe~" - Shizuka only replied with a happy smile.
"By the way, Ayane"-Chifuyu said as she looked at the girl-"Cloud told me that you are ready to move on to the second phase of your training"
"Huh? Really?!" - the girl exclaimed with emotion.
"Exactly, first it was to build the foundations to progress" - said the instructor of the world [Infinite Stratos] - "Endurance, Speed, Flexibility and Concentration... now we will focus on Power, Fierceness and Sharpness"
"Control?" Ayane asked as she cocked her head in confusion.
"Fierceness?" Keiko asked as she frowned.
"Acuity?" Makoto asked curiously.
"Exactly" - Chifuyu agreed - "Control to use the least force possible and have the best effect in combat, Fierce to pressure your opponents with your aura, Sharpness to prevent your enemies' attacks"
"How will I train?" Ayane asked seriously.
"Control and Fierce Cloud will see it when he comes back because he is an expert in that"- Chifuyu replied as she looked at the girl-"I will teach you how to sharpen your senses instead"
"I understand" Ayane nodded as she received a bandage "What is this for?"
"Obviously to put it on your eyes"- Chifuyu replied as she rolled her eyes at him-"From today, during training you will wear those blindfolds to prevent you from using your sense of sight"
"Hey?" Ayane couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"I see…" Makoto murmured, "It's an effective way to enhance his other senses…"
"What do you mean, Mako-chan?" Keiko asked curiously.
"Because when a person loses one of his senses, the others evolve on their own" -Rintarō answered as he walked towards the girls- "It's a bit difficult at first but the results are obvious"
"You say it as if you had done that practice"-said Ayane as she looked at the newcomer and her friend Keiko's interest in her.
"In fact" - agreed Rintarō - "It was the fastest method to be able to use the Path of the Bat of my Martial Art"
"Hehehe~" Keiko smiled as she hugged the boy, who quickly dodged her away-"Why are you so shy?"
"I'm sorry, I still can't get used to girls showing appreciation" - answered the black-haired boy while shaking his head - "Anyway, what I was trying to say is that if you are going to practice with that method, it will be better not use only one sense because the result can be catastrophic"
"?" Ayane gave him a look full of confusion.
"It means that you not only use your sense of hearing to locate dangers, but also your sense of smell and touch" - Chifuyu replied as she nodded to the boy's words - "For example... close your eyes"
"Okay," Ayane nodded seriously as she followed the black-haired girl's instructions.
"Now I want you to pay attention to the following" - Chifuyu continued - "Remember to dodge the attack I will give you and don't worry, I won't cause any damage"
"Okay!" The red-haired girl exclaimed.
"Here I go..." Chifuyu muttered as her presence disappeared.
". . ." Ayane fell silent as she waited for her instructor to show her presence, only to hear something approach from her right-"Here!"
"Mistake"-Chifuyu said as Ayane felt something touch her stomach-"Open your eyes"
The red-haired girl followed her instructions only to notice how Chifuyu's fist was on her stomach- "How? I heard the attack coming from my right..."
"I know, that's what I made you think" Chifuyu replied calmly as he retracted his fist "There are opponents who can change the currents of the wind to create a feint... that's why you don't just have to rely on one of your senses"
"I understand" - Ayane nodded firmly.
"Remember, you have more than one way to detect the enemy's attacks" - Chifuyu said seriously - "Sight, Hearing, Smell, Touch, you can even feel it with your Ki if you know the correct method to make it flow around your body"
"Hai!" Ayane exclaimed firmly as she took the bandages back and put them over her eyes.

"And Kyōka-sama?" Kako asked as she looked around.
Bang!
"I guess she has to be fighting Cloud Strife again" Chiyoko replied as she shrugged her shoulders "They've been doing it lately"
"Those two seem much more united than before..."-added Honori while she ate a donut-"I don't know what they did but now they seem like a team that has been together for years"
". . ." - The girls from Kyōka's group frowned when they heard those words.
"Maybe we should check on Kyōka-sama?" Misa asked with fear remembering who she was with.
"I don't think Kyōka-sama wants that..." - Kako said while shaking her head - "She will probably say something like 'If they have the time to be watching me, they should be using it to mingle with their assigned partners'... and honestly I think she's right"
"Hmm... I guess you have a point..." - Chiyoko said seriously - "It's not like I want Kyōka and Strife to sweep the floor with me"
"Aw..." - Misa just blushed at the possibility because it would be embarrassing for something like that to happen.
"Although I think it's too late for that because the announcement of the main event will be given soon"-Chiyoko sighed as she shook her head-"I have to admit that Kyōka knew how to take advantage of her time"
"Let's leave that for another time, we didn't even check who our partners would be" - Kako sighed as she looked out the window with a frown - "We were so focused on other meaningless things that we didn't take this event seriously like Kyōka-sama did "
"Now I feel bad for you"-Honori said as she let out a laugh at the annoyed look of her friends.
"I wonder what kind of event it will be"-said Misa as she looked at her friends-"I just hope it's not a battle..."
"Oh... let's hope god hears you"- Chiyoko said as she shook her head- "If it really is a battle, then we won't have any hope, not when those two monsters are together"
"I find calling Kyōka-sama a monster disrespectful, but I share your point of view…" Kako muttered regretfully. "Kyōka-sama and Cloud Strife will show no mercy if it really is a tournament… "
* * * * *
"You should put a little more power on your wrist"-Cloud said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Ok..."-Kyoka muttered as she fell to the ground exhausted-"Although I have to admit it was fun"
"I agree"-Cloud agreed as a smile appeared on his face.
During these two days, he and the blue-haired girl had been talking about multiple things, as well as techniques or opponents they had faced. Both Cloud and Kyōka got important information to improve their techniques, to the point that the girl felt that she was about to take a new step on her way to the top of martial arts while Cloud felt that her Skill was about to break the level 10 limit.
He had to admit that training with a prodigy was pretty cool, not to mention that his practice to calm his heart and mind was starting to come on in leaps and bounds.
"Although I have to admit that it still hurts hahaha!" -exclaimed the blue-haired girl as she looked at her body- "Seriously, you have to tell me how you make that potion... if it wasn't for that, I think my body would have broken during our first day of training together"
"Sorry, it's a recipe from my clan and you can't get out of it" - Cloud replied normally. He had lost count of how many times Kyōka had tried to ask him for the formula of the Potion she had.
"A pity..." Kyōka said with a tone of not caring in the least.
[Students, please gather in the Combat Arena... Our Director, Lord Gorozaemon Jinbeenosuke Yonemitsu, is about to give the information for the main event of the Bakugyaku Festival]
"I guess the fun is over..."-Kyoka said as she got up with difficulty-"Hopefully the event will be something fun"
"Although I don't think it is if it's a fighting event"- Cloud answered as he handed her his potion to drink "Drink it...remember that we are the strongest students in Nangokuren and that's why we confrontations will be boring"
"I hadn't seen it like this... Hmm... what an annoying problem..." Kyōka muttered as she shook her head and drank the potion- "I guess I'll settle for whatever"
