Back to school.

The Chapter starts as Zakuya enter the restroom to clean the blood stain in his face.

“What an embarrassment… how could I forget to clean up the blood on my face.” Zakuya said as he opens the faucet, and then he starts to clean up his face. While cleaning his face, Zakuya notice something.

“(I almost forgot something, wasn’t my left eye closed that time? When we get back at the base?)” Zakuya said in his mind, while he was looking at the mirror.

“(And my forehead.)” Zakuya said in his mind as he touches his fore head.

“(I have wound here, right? And here in my left cheeks, I clearly remember that I got hit in this part.)” Zakuya said in his mind as he touches his left cheeks.

Zakuya look at his cheeks.

“(Now, they’re gone. Did I go to the hot spring, and just forget it because of my exhaustion?)” Zakuya said in his mind, and then he scratches his head softly with his both hands.

“(I don’t know what is happening. Ahhh!!! Forget it, I need to go back now.)” Zakuya said in his mind, then he wipes his face up with the handkerchief in his left wrist. After that Zakuya went back to the classroom.

Zakuya enter the room, and then he apologize to his teacher, and then he sits down. When he sits down, and didn’t notice that Furina was looking at him, but not in obvious way. The day went by like normal, and Zakuya was on guard, because he doesn’t know when the abnormality will appear.

*Lunch time. *

When it was lunch time, Zakuya go where Furina is.

“Hey, Furina.”

Furina after being call, she looks at Zakuya.

“Hmm?” When she sees Zakuya, she lets out a disappointed expression. “What is it?” Furina respond with disappointed tone.

“Huh? What with that expression?” Zakuya said. Then he shake his head, and said— “Anyway, after you guys eat. Call Yume, tell her with have training later.” Zakuya said.

*Later. *

“(Where they are?!)” Zakuya said with irritated expression.

“(I told them, to go here after they have lunch. It’s 3 minutes before lunch break was over, and I don’t see any Furina, or Yume here. That girl!!! She didn’t call Yume! Well, that’s okay. I’ll just punish her later. Oh yeah, not just her, but Yume too.)” Zakuya said in his mind, with pissed tone. After that he head back to the classroom.

When Zakuya enter the room. He was pissed, and when Furina sees that he is really pissed, she immediately hides.

*Earlier*

“Yume, Irumi-kun said that after we eat lunch, we have a training.”

“Huh? Why would I go to train with him? Furina just ignore him. We never agree to him that he will train us. In the first place.” Yume said, as she turns around, and walks away from Furina.

*present*

“(Now, he’s mad.)” Furina look at Zakuya, as Zakuya walks passed her, and he sit on his chair. When Zakuya sits in his chair, he look at Furina, and Furina when she sees Zakuya were going to look at her, she immediately looks away.

*Later that day*

Zakuya stand up, and he see Furina get out of the room.

“(That girl, she was avoiding me.)” After that Zakuya gets out of the room.

“Furina!”

“!!!” Furina duck a little, and then she looks back at Zakuya. “I-Irumi-kun…”

“Why didn’t you guys show up?!” Zakuya said, while looking at Furina.

“That’s because…” Furina stop talking, and she tries to run away, but Zakuya grab her arm.

“You’re not going anywhere.” Zakuya said, while holding Furina’s left arm.

“No. Let go of me. Please!” Furina said as she pulls her right arm.

“Not until you, explain why.” Zakuya said, while he was holding Furina’s arm.

“Alright, alright I tell you just let go of me!”

After that Zakuya let go of Furina’s arm, and then Furina tells Zakuya, what Yume tells him.

Δ

“That girl, she starting to pissed me off.” Zakuya said, while clenching his fist. “Furina, let’s head back to your hotel room.” Zakuya said, while looking at Furina.

“Heh? What are you—” Furina ask. Furina didn’t even finish talking when Zakuya suddenly said— “Let’s go.”

After that they went to Furina’s hotel.

“Why are you here again?! Did I told you we don’t need a trainer?!” Yume said with irritated tone.

“Then show me.” Zakuya said.

“Huh? What?!” Yume responds.

“Show me, that you guys don’t need a trainer, by beating me in a fight. Two on one.” Zakuya said.

Hearing what Zakuya said, a smirk come to Yume face, and she said in a smug tone— “Then bring it on. Let’s head outside.”

After that they head outside near the hotel. Yume bring her weapon a whip, while Furina bring 2 chains, and in the end of chain is a sharp iron.

“So, that’s your weapon.” Zakuya said.

“What now, where’s your weapon?” Yume said.

“Hmm? My weapon? I don’t need any weapon; after all you guys can’t beat me. With your current strength.” Zakuya said.

“Let’s do this Yume, let’s show him, that we don’t need a trainer.” Furina said, as she gets on her fighting stance.

“(Huh? Is that her fighting stance?)” Zakuya said in his mind, as he sees Furina. In some weird stance. With her arms cross.

“(That stance, it’s for double axe user.)” Zakuy said in his mind.

“That’s right let’s show him.” Yume said, as she gets on her fighting stance.

“(Hmm? Huh? Yume’s stance, do she think that she was wielding a sword?)” Zakuya said, as he sees Yume holding her whip, like a sword.

“Come! Show me what you got!” Zakuya said.

After that Yume, and Furina run towards Zakuya. Furina, and Yume attack Zakuya by swinging their weapon towards him.

“Hiyaaaa!!!”

“Yaahhhh!!!”

Zakuya stand still, and he watch Furina, and Yume swings their weapon at him. When Furina, and Yume’s weapon were about to hit him. Zakuya suddenly disappear, so Furina, and Yume weapon hits the ground.

“Huh? Where did he—” Yume, and Furina said in soft tone. While looking around for Zakuya.

“I’m here.” Zakuya said.

Both of them look behind, and they see Zakuya standing.

“Where are you guys aiming?” Zakuya said.

“How did he move there from here?” Furina said, as she looks at Zakuya.

Yume didn’t talk, she just run towards Zakuya, and she swings her whip at Zakuya.

“Yume! You can’t hit me with that slow, attack!” Zakuya said as he dodges Yume’s attack.

Seeing Zakuya dodge Yume’s attack, Furina swings her pair of chains at Zakuya. The both sharp of the iron points at Zakuya, but Zakuya dodged, and hit each other.

“Furina, you could hit me there. But you hesitate.” Zakuya said as he dodges Furina’s attack.

“And by the way, you guys have magic, right? You should use it. When attacking.” Zakuya said, while pointing at them.

“We know!” Yume said, as she attacks Zakuya again.

“Water Magic: Sea Snake Bite!” Yume’s whip turns into water snake, and it launch towards Zakuya.

“Water Magic: Piercing Chain!” Furina swings her chain towards Zakuya.

Zakuya look at Yume, and Furina, and he sighed, and then he talk in his mind— “(I would normally, let Yume hit me, but this is a training.)” Zakuya sighed again, and then he took out his wooden katana in his inventory, and cast a spell.

“Flame Magic: Flaming Defense.” Zakuya swings his wooden Katana upwards, and when Yume’s whip, and Furina’s two chain hit Zakuya’s spell, it got deflected.

“Huh?” Yume, and Furina said, as they see their weapon were deflected.

“Normally Water defeat Flame, but both of your currently level, it will be hard to defeat my flame.” Zakuya said, as he raises his sword up, and then place it in his shoulder.

Yume run towards Zakuya, and she swings her whip at Zakuya.

Zakuya sighed, and then he dodges Yume’s attack.

“What?!” Yume said, as he sees Zakuya disappear.

“Hiyaaa!!!” Furina lets out a sound as she swings her chains at Zakuya.

He sighed, and then he said— “Furina! Don’t hesitate on attacking me!” After that he dodge Furina’s attack.

Zakuya sighed, and then he talks— “You guys are telling me that, you guys don’t need a trainer, when it’s clear that the two of you are the weakest in the school? Don’t joke on me.”

Yume look behind, and to Zakuya with frustrated expression.

“Tch!” Yume said, and then she stands up, and she suddenly tells Furina— “Furina, run!”

Furina agree, and then both of then run back to their room in the hotel.

“Ahh!!! Hey both of you!” Zakuya said as he sees Furina, and Yume run away.
