Academy's Martial arts gymnasiumOne week ago. Grunts echoed all around as the sounds of kicks and punches connecting with flesh rang clear in the atmosphere. The smell of sweat was heavy in the air and everyone in the gym was either working out, sparring, or simply involved in one activity or the other in preparation for what was to come. The male occupants were dressed in white gi while the females were dressed in blue. The sensei walked around with his assistant just a few steps behind. He would give the occasional nod or offer correction and advice when needed. After he had made his rounds, he moved towards the sparring area located at the center of the room and sucked in a large breath. The assistant already knowing what was coming had already taken a step back and covered his ears. "YAME!"...The silence that followed was instant and everyone stood with their hands against their sides. No one wanted to incur the wrath of Sensei Hiroyuki. The man was as strict as a computer pr

"HAJIME"Hebi's go-to move was to charge directly and so I waited. However this time, he didn't. He took a stance and stayed still without so much as flinching or even blinking. Something about him seemed a bit strange today. Taking a stance so as to not be caught off guard, I also stayed watching him when something happened with his eyes. They turned green with black slits visible in them. With the tightening of his leg muscles the only indication I got, he charged at me. A punch came straight for my face quickly followed by a full body turn bringing around the elbow of his other arm aimed at my midsection. Sidestepping and using his momentum, I held unto his arm and tossed him violently to the floor. As if expecting the counter, he quickly stamped his right foot on the floor and held onto my arm to perform a judo throw using my own body momentum. "Seems you're not just fighting with your body today but with your head as well." I couldn't see the expression on his face but he shou

Ushi’s PovThe last blow I had given Hebi was one to end the duel and put an end to the stupid rivalry that he had created. The real world will always be different from what happens in the academy during practice. It could never be the same. Ending it once and for all was the best way to save his life and eliminate any chances of me having to always watch my back because of him. “Curse you Ushi. What have you done to me? Why did it end up like this? This was supposed to be my perfect victory. It was supposed to be my win.”His screams got louder and louder until the sensei’s assistant knelt beside him and struck him at the back of his neck effectively knocking him out. “Winner of this kumite. Arekuruu Ushi!”Bowing to where Hebi lay unconscious, I took a step back before turning around fully and walking away. Moving straight to the showers I took off everything and stepped under the cold shower allowing the water to run all over me relaxing both my body and mind. “What troubles you

Present DayUshi’s PovAfter taking a break from school for a few days I finally returned on the day of the official team formation. I didn’t have any group of people in mind, I just wanted to observe before making a decision. Walking down the halls, I saw various groups of people gathering together and making light discussions. Apparently, the school gave a certain amount of time to find teammates of your own before they tossed the loners together in a group. No group stood out to me. There were a few impressive ones, but watching them for a bit while taking their behavior into consideration, I was beginning to doubt if this venture would actually be a successful one for me. I walked into the assembly hall which was being used since it allowed a large number of students to gather with ease. Putting my hands into my pockets and going off to a far corner I stood apart and continued my observation till I heard someone speak from right beside me. “Nice vantage point.”With a sense of u

Tsuru's PovThis guy had the atmosphere but that said nothing about his skills. I could see the girl with them visibly shrink when Tora the white-haired boy mentioned the word test. I don't know what that's about but my aim right now is to show this boy that he needs to have skills and not just put on airs. We were standing in the middle of the large training hall, a few feet away from each other. The red-eyed boy who had almost no presence was standing in the middle"I'll be acting as the official in the absence of the teacher in charge. I could go on about rules but that's pretty much useless at this point." With that he looked at me with a serious expression "Try not to die will ya?"..."Don't worry. I'll have a go with you once I'm done with your friend." His expression didn't waver like what I said meant nothing to him. However, he didn't reply me. Most guys would be saying something sassy at this moment or something to catch my attention. He didn't. He just shook his head and

Ushi's PovI have never seen Tsuru struggle with anything before. If something ever proved to be too difficult, she strategized and then came back to tackle it ferociously. She got roughed up once in a while or when she was outnumbered. But never to this extent. She was bruised in various places, and two bones in her arm had been broken during the fight. Cuts were visible on her arms and there was a trail of dried blood running along the right side of her mouth. All in all, she looked like a royal mess. "I'll take her to the infirmary. She'll be needing proper care after all this.""No need for that." Tora stated while putting his sword away. Ame walked to her and waved her hand. Immediately water began gathering in the air above us and started washing all over Tsuru. Healing her in the process and cleaning her up at the same time. "Well, that was entertaining." The smile had returned to Kiri's face as he walked towards us. "Dude, your girl is something else. A bit reckless but int

Tsuru's Pov I felt something today. An excitement I haven't felt in a long time. Even though I lost that fight, I feel more alive than when I usually win. It seems I'll have to work harder in the future if I want to protect him properly. Looking up at his golden eyes while he stared down at me, made me feel things that had been buried deep down due to the nature of my family. We were in service to the strong Arekuruu family after we had been overpowered by them a long time ago. Never did I expect to fall in love with an Arekuruu along the line. "You've been off today. Are you alright?"His question brought me back to reality as my mind had already been wandering. "Nothing to make you worry Ushi." I smiled at him. A genuine one. Normally it was a cover when with other people. But with Ushi, I had the luxury of being honest with myself. In a way, I'm glad we get to go on this adventure together. Even if it's just for a while we can escape from the clutches of our various households.

Ushi's PovWe all began moving at a steady pace. In all honesty, I was actually surprised by the way this team moved together. Tora walked with a bold ease, but you could tell that he was always on alert. What I did not quite understand was why he was staring in random directions within the shadow dome. Almost as if he was looking at something through the dome. Looking closely at him when his head turned from side to side, I could see that his eyes had taken on a blue hue and they were practically glowing in the dimly lit dome. It gave him a more predatory look. Ame on the other hand, moved like she was gliding on water. And upon closer inspection, she was. She had used water to create a flat disk below her feet and raised it just a couple of inches off the floor. With this, she was moving without expending any physical effort. She hugged her sword in her arms instead of hanging it by her side. Not a common preference, but acceptable. I was about to make further observations when Tor
