Chapter 1:

Welcome to Honnōji Academy, Demon Hunter!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So this is it… Honnōji Academy" A young girl said as she walked through the slums of the city.

She has a mid-lenght black hair with a single lef-swept red highlight on her bangs and blue eyes that had gear-shaped pupils. The girl was wearing a simple white shirt along with a black and white jacket with rolled up sleeves over it, a black school miniskirt that reaced above her knees and athlete sneakers. Besides, she has a metal guitar case strapped on her back.

"Maybe it's here that I'll find my answers" She grinned and took her first steps towards the famous school.

She made her way through the town and followed one of the paths that lead up to the academy. On the way she had stopped off at a fruit vendor so she buy some fruit for breakfast, wich was a lemon.

The sight of the runfown and intimating structures would frighten most peaple but this girl.

"What a crappy neighbor" The girl commented with a smirk "Just my kind of place"

As soon as she took a bite of her fruit, a young man with a red raincoat appeared from the road lef side of her. He looked around with a lazy expression on his face while his hands were inside the pockets on his pants. She took note of his spiky black-white hair and his sharp blue eyes.

He was escanning the street looking for any singposts on landmark until his eyes landed on the girl's.

He quirked his eyebrow up at the sight of the peculiar gear-shaped pupils in the girl's eyeballs "Wow, those eyes sure are quirky" He commented with a smirk.

A tick mark appeared in the black-red haired girl's forehead "Ok. Now I have the urge to smack this jerk's face in the ground"

The blue-eyed guy chuckled in a teasing manner and waved to girl "Well, yellow to you there~! Are you heading to Honnōji Academy by any chance?" He asked politely.

"… Yeah, just transfer" The black-red haired girl replied. Although she was still mad at him for his commentary about her eyes, at least he wasn't mocking her per say.

"Oh really? That's a coincidence since I'm a transfer student too" He said without dropping his smile "Sadly I still unable to find the school yet. I just moved in a few hours, though I'm almost certain the pathway straight to school is should be close by" The black-haired teen added in a thoughtful way and then he looked at the girl with an eye-smile "Tell me, you don't mind if I walk with you, do you? Cuz we're heading to the same place anyway"

The girl stared at him for a few until she sighed and shrugged "Well, I don't see why not. Maybe you could answer some of my questions on the way there"

"Hn, alright… By the way, I'm Edward Redgreave" He introduced himself with a smirk to the girl.

EDWARD REDGRAVE

A bunch of red-colored letters appeared before him as he says his name, making him blink in confusion "What the—? Is this an hallucination or perhaps my power is distorting the Natural Law again?" Edward thought as he shook his haed to ignore those thoughts. This is gonna be a normal school life so bizarre thoughts ciao ciao.

"Foreigner, huh? I think I heard the surname before… Anyway I'm Matoi Ryuko" The girl with a red streak said with a grin.

MATOI RYŪKO

"Am I the only one seeing these letters?" The black-haired teen looked at the camera with a confused look, though he decide to not worry about it. If he ignore this, it'll go away. Besides, he needs to gave a good first impression "Nice to meet you… Tell me, don't you think this town has an unique architecture?" Edward said to Ryuko as she walked up "Makes me wonder what kind of school we'll go. I think there I could find a proper education system here"

"Well, yeah, this place look… Exotic. But the thing I'm looking forward to the most is the school" She replied with a faint smirk.

"Hoh~?! You're looking forward for your education too?! That's great, and with that kind of mindset you are gonna have an excellent career before you in no time" He grinned cheerfully, missing a sudden change of demeanor on the girl's face.

"Yeah… You can say there is something I want to know" Her bangs shadowed her eyes and a feral smirk growed through his face as she said that.

The two of them walked through out the streets as they were heading to the school. During that time Ryuko asked a few question to Edward like if he knew who was the "Top Dog" and anything about the school system. Unfortunely, his knowldge about the school itself was little toz ero because he just moved in a few hours and he even doesn't have a place for himself.

"Look, all I hear is they're a little bit strict with the rules, but they make sure the students get proper learning experience to learn to survived in the world" He said shrugging.

Ryuko sighed "Then… Do you know anything about a Scissor Blade?" She askes as she looked at him intently. Her eyes were focused on his face.

The guy looked at her blankly and tilted his head in confusion "Scissor Blade, you say? Hmmm…" He thought about it as he crossed his arm "Well, if I'm being honest with you, it's the first time I've heard about a weapon like that" He answer scratching his head.

She dropped her agressive demeanor and sighed disappointely "I guess it can be helped. Nevermind then" She said with a troubled look on her face.

Edward noted her expression and coughed "Well… If this subject is so important then I guess I could help you. If I hear anything about this Scissor Blade, I will let you know" He said with a grin.

Ryuko looked at him with a stunned expression, she didn't see that coming, but after a few second she smiled at him "I'm not expecting much, but at least you are willing to help me. Thanks"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pair continued their way in a crappy street walking calmly. Since they began to hang up, Ryuko and Edward talked about trivial thing to kill the mood and know each other better since they were going to the same place.

"Wait, let me see if I understnad… Your GRANDMA sent you to a Budist Temple in the Himalaya… And you HAD to CLIMB a friggin mountain to reach the temple's gate?!" Ryuko asked in shock.

"Yup! She said that I needed to be less agressive and prideful or something like, if I'm honest with you I don't remember it well enough! Besides, she can do the same things as me even at her sixties!" He said casually as he waved his hand in as-matter-of-fact motion.

"Your grandma must be a badass if she can do THAT kind of stuff at her age" Ryuko whispered.

"You can say that again"

In the midst of their talk a brown haired little kid ran past them "Whoops. Sorry about that!" and he swirled between them before leaven them alone.

The two teenager watched the boy dissapear in the path, then they looked at each other with blanks expressions. And Edward was the first to speak up.

"… Did he just tried to stole our wallets?"

"Yup"

"… Do you want to take care of him or…"

"Nah, I can handle it. I want my fruit back anyway since I didn't finished to eat it"

The teens started walking to find the little rascalion. They followed to boy to a alleyway and he sat on a garbage bag, and he was grinning mischievously like a pro thief.

"That was a piece of cake" He gloated to himself as he pulled out his pick-pocketed ítems he stole from the two teenagers… But the only ítem he has was a hafl-eaten lemon "Aaah?! The hell is this?! I could've sworn I took those guys wallets!" He shout shocked.

In that moment, a hand suddenly appeared before his eyes and swiped the fruit he stole from his hand.

"Nice manners you've got there kid" Ryuko jokingly mocked the kid while sitting on a toolshed that was right behind the boy, making him spin around and scream in shock as he backed away from the girl.

But before he could get away and escape, he was stoped by a concrete wall... And that wall was the black-haired teen that was crossing his arms giving the kid a curious look so he backed away from him too.

"Are you that desperate to swap spit with chicks? Is pretty pathetic, don't you think?" Ryuko said in a mocking way.

The kid glared at her and shouted bak "D-Don't mock me, bitch! I've got way more action than you could!"

"Oh really? How old is this brat?" the black-haired tilted his head to the side.

"Well that fine cuz that means you can die without regrets, huh?" Ryuko on the other hand just smirked confidently, clearly she was enjoying herself.

The boy grinned before rising one of his hands in the air "You think I'll let you disrespect me like that and walk away so easily? I'm Lightning Speed Mataro, you bitch—" He exclaimed with arrogance.

"Hn, no red letters? Well, I guess that means he is not a important character for the plot" Edward thought with a hand on his chin.

"—And this is Honnō City's blindest alley, this is my turf and me and my gang are the badest of the bads! Come out, guys!" Mataro said with arrogance waiting for his gang.

But no one come out.

Ryuko and Mataro silently stood across from each other while a gust of wind blew by them, seconds passed until the boy looked around "…Guys?... Where hell did my men go?!" He yelled with a agitated look.

"Did you mean these kids here?"

Mataro and Ryuko tunerd around the direction of Edward's voice and widened their eyes, mostly the brown-haired kid, at the sigh of a bored looking Edward standing over the three member of Mataro's gang, and they were already beaten by the black-haired teen "You guys are a little goofy for a supposed gang of street punks, maybe you should try something else, don't you think?" Takeru said with a deadpan expression.

"… He right about that" Ryuko spoke up and then she grinned while cracking her knuckles as she walked up behind Mataro, who was frozen and shaking slightly in fear at his situation "Well, shall we continue and fight each other? I've no problem fighting you if that's what you really want"

"We give up! You guys wins!" The kid suddenly retreat a few feet away from the black-red haired girl in a bowing position with his now recovered 'men' by his side.

"Huh?"

"What the hell?"

Ryuko and Edward were confused and shocked by that statement.

"We didn't really plan on fighting strong peaple like you and that Aniki there, despite our methods of stealing our gang is a pacifistic one" It was pretty obvious to the older teenagers that the kid wasn't being completely honest with them by the sound of his voice and the sweat falling down his face.

Edward stare at the goofy gang for a few seconds, he doesn't mind. In fact, this kid doesn't strike him like a bad guy "… So what do you think Ryuko? I mean, these guys are pretty weak and almost unable to fight back" The blue-eyed teen asked as he looked at the girl.

"I guess I could let it slide this time. It's no fun to fight peaple if they can't fight back" Ryuko let out a low chuckle before she started to walk passed the boys.

Edward shrugged and walked alongside Ryuko. He could hear all the boys let out a deep sigh… But that relief they felt ended quickly.

"HOLD IT!"

Suddenly a brown-haired girl with a bowl hair-style in a white and blue sailor uniform came flying with a cross chop wrestling move and slammed the back of Mataro's head, both coolliding onto the ground and rolling in front of Edward and Ryuko.

"Mugging folks at the dawn crack again, huh?!" The bowl cut hair-styled girl growled as she pinned the kid on the ground "How many times I got to tell you to stop taking peaple down and get your Fanny to school?! You got a death wish or something?!"

The two teenagers could but sweatdrop as they whatched the schoolgirl, who apparently was the boy's older sister, painfully put her brother into several wrestling positions.

"I'm sorry" The kid pleaded with her as struggled against her hold "I'm going, I'm going, I'm going! I promise I'll head off to school! Just let me go!"

The girl let him go and he and his gang booked it. Not wanting to stay any longer with the brown-haired girl around.

"I ain't got time for institutional learning, you dumbass!" Mataro shouted while sticking his tounge out at his sister "I'm going to be a brawler! A BRAWLER, YOU HEAR ME?!" Then he run away.

"Dumb little jerk" The girl grumbled as she watched her brother run off. She turned around and smiled at Ryuko and Edward who look don with blank stares "Sorry about that. Are you two oka—?"

*RING!*

Before she could finish that line, the school bell goes off and the brown-haired girl freaked out "Oh no! I'm going to be late!" She yelled in shock ans she dashed to a trolley heading upto school, wich was filled with students and some of them were poking out of the vehicle "Let me on, let me on, let me on! Please let me on~!" The girl ran side by side with the trolley and just it was about to reach the end of the platform she leaped onto the back of the transporter "Oh, never mind. I got in"

The two teens had similar thoughts about the matter. They look each other with confused expressions on their faces.

"What's up with this city and its peaple? Everybody is crazy as hell" Ryuko said with a look of bewilderment.

"I don't know. I think this guys are funny" The blue-eyed guy replied with a grin "In fact, they are a delightful bunch of people"

"Delightful? Are you nuts?…" Releasing a heavy sigh, Ryuko closed her eyes with a frown "Well, nevermid. Let's just go to the school"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HONNŌJI ACADEMY

"Well that's something you don't see every day, huh?" Edward whispered in surprise.

He and Ryuko looked up at a large and oversized door, or gate, wich had three large star-shaped holes. On the second level of the stars was a naked bruised-up guy tied by hands, a sign on his body, the only thing he was wearing was a sign on his prívate parts.

"(This is a naked pig who dared to defy Honnōji Academy. Justice has been severd)" Ryuko read aloud with her eyes narrowing slightly when she read the last sentence on the sign "And here I thought the city was pretty dangerous but I guess the school is even worse" She grinned ferally at that "Interesting, something tells me I'm gonna find the answers I'm looking for"

Edward just stared at the corpse and examined the body in front of them as he was trying to study it.

"Huh? There something wrong?" Ryuko asked with a raised eyebrow.

The guy looked silently at the body for a few seconds with a dead serious expression… And then—

"My, what an elaborate decorations they have here! This dummy looks so real! Don't you think so, Ryuko?!" He spoke up with stars-shaped pupils, freaking out the girl.

"Is this guy an idiot?!" She could not believe what she was hearing. How was possible he couldn't see it was a real-life corpse?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two pressed on, going to the office first to obtain their homeroom numbers, and made their way inside the school, wich looked like a freaking submarine or marine ship, even the doors were pressure-tight ones.

Now they were at the classroom, second year class K to be accurate, and the homeroom teacher introduced them to the class "Allright class, here we have the two transfer students, Matoi Ryuko-Kun and Edward Redgrave-Kun. Make sure to give them a warm welcome" The teacher said with a disinterest tone as he wrote the new students' names in the classboard.

MATOI RYUKO

EDWARD REDGRAVE

"… Am I the only one seeing these letters?" Edward replied with a confused stare but every one ignore him "How rude of you!" He snarled.

The homeroom teacher was a middle-aged man with blue messy hair wearing a pair of large sunglasses, and a white long-sleeved shirt with a black tie and dark jeans. He seemed kinda average… Almost supiciously normal.

In that moment a hand appeared catching the new students' attention "Ah! Ryuko-Chan! Eddie-Kun!" The brown-haired girl from earlier jumped out of her seat as she called the two of them, pointing to the two empty seats next to her "Over here you two, these seats are free! The other guys that used to be here were beaten up by the student council! Sit over here you guys!" She smiled at the two delinquent-looking teens.

"Oh, do you two know her?" The teacher asked as he and the two new students watched the bowl cut styled-hair girl.

"Err… We just met her for a few seconds. We're not even acquaintances with each other" Ryuko replied as she shrugged her shoulders without looking at the male teacher.

"Do you guys wants the seats?! Not want them?! Want them?!"

"Hehe… She's certainly energetic, don't you think?" Edward said chuckling slightly.

"Energetic isn't the first word that come in my mind" Ryuko whispered with a deadpan look.

"Oh, that's just how Mankanshoku usually is" The teacher said uninterest "Anyway, those'll be your seats from now on" He added with a dull tone.

The pair nodded in understanding as they moved to the seats with Ryuko sitting left to the bowl girl while Takeru sat at the right side of the brown-haired girl.

The brunette turned to the two with a smile as she introduced herself "My name's Mankanshoku Mako. It's nice the see you two again!" She said cheerfully and bouncing happily between the two transfer students.

MANKANSHOKU MAKO

"Hello to you too!" Edward said with the same cheerful tone, though he still has some questions about the red letters "Those letters again? Seriously?... Well, I hope this is nothing too concerning, the last thing I need is some bizarre things happening to me right now" He shrugged at the letters once more, he has to beat it and continue with his "normal" life.

"Hey, the boy you mentioned off-screen, that the Stundent Council pummeled, that's him outside?" Ryuko asked as he pointed to the guy hanging at the entrance.

"Aha! But don't worry about it! That kind of things happens all the time here!" Mako answered without dropping her smile.

"Hey, you two… You shouldn't be scaring people using corpse-like dummies at the entrance. A normal school needs to make the student to enroll, not scare them" Edward, who was hearing the conversation, said with a frown.

Mako blinked confused "But I'm not lying about it"

"Don't mind him. He is in a denial state" the black-haired girl quipped.

"Oh well, don't worry about. You'll get use to this sort of things" Mako said returning to her normal cheerful self.

Edward just nodded ignoring everything they just said. He is sure that this is the normal school he was looking for… But a part of him was hesitant now.

"Alright, alright, class. Let's begin the lesson" The homeroom teacher announced earning the whole class attention.

On a side note, the moment he said that Mako pulled out a lunchbox from under her desk and wolfed down all of its content. And then he instantly fall asleep after she finished her food.

"She's already asleep?!" Ryuko thought speechless.

Edward, on the other hand, ignored that and he listened to the teacher lecture like a model student. If he wants a normal school life then he needs to get good grades.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(A few hours later)

"Ha… This turned out to be a pleasant day so far~!" Edwad smiled as he packed away his notes from class as school finished, "This is what I've been looking for. What an absolutely normal day it's been! School is definitely the best!"

"You say some weird things from time to time," Ryuko spoke up next to him as they both exited out at the same time.

"Weird?" he rubbed his chin in thought, "I don't think I said anything particular weird."

She rolled her eyes, "From your perceptive maybe."

"RYUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKOOOOOOO! EEEDDDIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The two turned around to see Mako rocketed herself in their direction. Ryuko side-step out of the wall, while Edward stood there like a deer caught in headlights as Mako slammed her body into his. Knocking the two into the ground and rolling into the garbage bins.

Ryuko silently snickered at Edward for getting taken down so easily while both Mako and Edward got up, the boy patted the filth off, as Mako walked up to Ryuko and pouted.

"Aw, why'd you dodged me like that?" Mako said not bothered at all.

"Well that's what people do when weirdos come flying at them," the punk girl answered the bubbly girl's question with a deadpan look.

"Uhhh," Mako pouted, "I was just trying to give both of my besties a hug after all. At least Eddie got his."

"Yeah, well I don't mind being hugged by a cute girl" he commented nonchalantly as he stretched his arms "Though, next time let's do that without garbage around, ok?"

"Besties?" Ryuko commented on that one word that stood out.

"Yeah! You and Eddie!" the girl brighten up, "We're desk neighbors now so we're totally besties now. So, let's try to get along, okay?"

"I don't see why not. I always wanted to have lots of friends anyway!" Despite being hurled into trash earlier the boy smiled and saw no problem with that "Yes! This is how a normal school life should be! Going to school, meeting new people, learning and making friends! This is SO much better than saving the world!" He thought as he smiled brightly

"See, Eddie understands!" Mako grinned as she wrapped her arms around Edward's and Ryuko's shoulder and pulled them together in a hug.

"Yeah… sure" Ryuko hesitated for a moment but she agreed. It seen like she is a bit troubled by the whole 'frienship' prospects.

Edward grinned wider "Awesome, then as your friend there is something important I have to tell you" He said catching the brown-haired girl's attention

"What's that?" Mako asked as she tilted her head to the side.

"… You've got a banana peel stuck on the top of your head" Edward raised his right hand and pointed at the girl's head, where the remains of the discarded yellow fruit was location in her hair.

Mako snapped her head up in shock before smacking the banana peel off of her head, kicking it away once it had hit the ground. "That was gross, thanks for letting me know!"

"No problem" He replied.

Upon noticing the large metal case on Ryuko's back the little ball of energy she recalled what she wanted to say about it, "Oh that reminds me! Is that your guitar case? Do you play? Come on, play something! I'll sing!" Mako began to sing horribly into it on top of her schoolbag.

"Mako, I don't want to sound like a jerk but… Please stop, your song is horrible" Edward flinched with a frown.

"He's right," Ryuko agreed and looked exasperated, "God, you need to calm down. Listen I want to know what the deal is with this place. Like who's top dog around here and stuff?"

"… Wouldn't asking the faculty members be a faster way?" Edward suggested with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah… in my experience teachers aren't all that helpful," Ryuko growled at that prospect.

Mako jumped off her bag and started to spill the name ""Don't worry, I know! It's—" Mako seemed to freeze up before moving between her two new friends and placing her hands on their backs, "Crap! Ryuko, Eddie, you both need to bow! Bow!" While unsure about why they needed to bow, the two complied as they watched in curiosity and confusion as students formed two long lines that reached all the way towards the stairs.

Though Edward was bowing, Ryuko decided to hunched down to get a better look and saw a large man with a dark complexion and short blond hair walk down the stairs. He was wearing a fearsome looking uniform with three black star-like crosses on his torso, and spikes on his shoulder blades and large gauntlets. "He certainly looks like a big shot" Ryuko commented in a bored manner.

"That's because he's a Three-Star while those other ones are One-Stars." Mako explained to Edward and Ryūko as the man walked passed them.

[Three-Stars?]

Both Ryuko and Edward said at the same time

"Yup. That's Ira Gamagoori the Disciplinary Committe Chairman. He's one of the Elite Four of the Student Council. He's super elite. Three ranks above us No-Star students," Mako explained with an epic background picture with shadowy silhouettes of the Elite Four with red glowing eyes.

"Hah! Don't make me laugh! Sure, he is clearly strongest than most humana round here but I could easily take— NO!" The black-haired teen slapped himself mentally "Bad boy, stay down! You're retired! No more fighting. Fuck my battle seeking desires! This Demon Blood running through my veins sure is annoying some times!"

While Edward was slapping himself to get rip of his battle desires, Ryuko raised an eyebrow as she caught a certain piece of information during Mako's explanation "No-Star?" Ryuko was curious about this "Star" system.

"Aha. The uniforms here have amazing powers and if you get one. I hear it's awesome!" Mako explained, being excited about getting a uniform, "You get like superhuman and such!"

"Wait… they need uniforms to tap into their own powers?" Edward's eyes twitched "That's so lame. They don't know how to tap into their own inner power on their own? I mean using tools to help is fine and I do have a weapon set to boost my abilities, but I mostly rely on my own strength not— Hold on! Why do they specifically need uniforms to get super powers? And why the heck does this school have that kind of power-granting tools?" Thinking about it carefully, it was a suspicious thing. The boy was started to sweat more upon realizing something.

Nope. He was thinking. This was a normal school. A normal school. A normal school. This has to be a normal school!

"They're called Goku Uniforms," Mako continued her explanation, breaking Chris out of his monologue that no one wanted to read. "They go from No-Stars all the way up to Three-Stars!"

"Goku Uniforms? But I don't see any orange gi around this place, nor a oddly haired alien either!" The boy darted his head back and forth as he looked for the famous Character and/or his attire.

"Our Student Council President, Satsuki Kiryuin, hands out Goku Uniforms based on a student's abilities. Long story short, they're awesome! You two got all that?" Mako finished explaining what there needs to be known about Goku Uniform. If you didn't catch that, searched on the Internet you bum.

"Yeah… not interested," Edward dismissed the entire concept with boredom. He already has enough power with his magical, cursed, demonic and holy weapons – and let's not talk about his battle-prowess – so this wasn't for him… Plus, the further away from the crazy, the more he stays in the normal.

Ryuko had something else on her mind, "So, what you're saying is that the Student Council is the top dog, right?"

"Yeah," Mako lifted her head and spotted the other individual walking down the stairs after Ira, "And speak of the devil. That's Lady Satsuki."

SATSUKI KIRYUIN

A bright light surrounds behind her as she slowly walked down the stairways – eyes closed – a form of regal and elegance. Getting a better look at the girl, Edward noted that Satsuki was tall (taller than him) and slim, yet well-endowed from the looks of her bust, and had a beautiful angular face with rather thick eyebrows. She had long dark-blue tinted hair that reached passed her waist and was wearing a white outfit that had pants instead of the normal school skirt.

"Well damn, now that's a woman. Her three sizes are prefectly balanced and she has a beautiful face, nice-shaped butt and legs, and a large breast. She got the whole pack" Edward muttered with a faint flush on his face, slightly mesmerized by the girl's beauty. Sure, she gave him an Ice Queen's vibe, but she was a sexy Ice Queen "Though I am curious, why are her letters are accompanied by brightness? And why are they so dazzlings?"

Instantly Ryuko jumped right in front of Satsuki's path from the line of bowing students, shocking them all for her imprudence. "Sorry to interrupt, but I hear you're the queen bee of this school," Ryuko declared with no respect, "If you are, I got a question for you"

Chris looked on with surprise at the punk girl's boldness "Is she an idiot?! The worst thing one can do is to piss off a higher-up!— Though I'm one to talk cuz I have pissed up a lot of people"

"How dare you!" called out one of the students, "Get her!"

A couple of One-Star Students in front of her dogpiled onto her, but Ryuko based them all away effortlessly. Smacking them all with her metal case. As soon as she was done swatting away like flies, Ryuko pulled the item out of the case and spun it several times by the loop it had before pointing the object at Satsuki, and to everyone's surprise it was half of pair of large scissors.

Satsuki's eyes blinked in recognition as she stared down at the strange blade in Ryūko's hand, "Hmmm…"

"That is one giant scissor!" Mako called out from within the crowd.

Edward on the other hand was staring intently at the weapon "So that's aScissor Blade. Also… things are about to get NOT normal around here aren't they?!" Edward shouted at the camera with a stunned and scared look

"Right, this is actually half of a giant pair of scissors. I'm looking for the owner of the other half," Ryuko explained as she focused her gaze on Satsuki, tightening her grip on the Scissor Blade's handle. "Hey Prez… I noticed that look you gave this thing just now, have you seen this thing before? You have, haven't you?!"

"… And what if I have? What are you going to do about it?" Satsuki replied coolly as she looked down at Ryuko.

Ryūko's body twitched after she heard that, the glare she had pointed at the older girl intensifying with each second. "So you do know about this thing… You have the other half, don't you?!" The gear eyed girl leaped forward with her Scissor Blade poised to attack.

"She DIDN'T said that, you moron!" Edward shouted in his mind as he watched in horror as Ryuko charged at Satsuki. "You idiot calm down! Just think for a second!"

Ryuko ignored or didn't hear him as she leaped into the air ready to pierce Satsuki with her blade.

Only to be smashed in the face.

"TEK!"

Then her body.

"KEN!"

Once more into her side.

"FUN!"

And finally sending her flying.

"SAI!"

Ryuko was sent into the ocean of One-Star students. Knocking them all over like bowling pings and the students just stood and did nothing to dodge.

"Fukuroda?" Satsuki addressed the one who punched Ryuko.

"Yes," replied the student that attacked Ryuko, "Captain of the Boxing Club, Takaharu Fukuroda"

TAKAHARU FUKURODA

"Those red letters are never going away, are there?" Edward thought with a deadpan look.

He was a teenage of short stature with light green eyes. A Buzz-cut head, or almost bald in nature, with a noticeable missing tooth. He also wore a Two-Star Goku Uniform outfit which consist of those large surreal red boxing gloves, headguard, and the standard boxing gear equipped on.

"I'll finish this insolent wench off. With your permission," he asked almost sadistically.

"She's yours" Satsuki nodded in a approval motion.

Ryuko gritted her teeth as she emerged from the crowd, glaring at the smirking boxer who stood in her way. "Damn it, get out of my way you bastard!" Dashing towards the teen with her sword already in mid-swing, but the boxer simply raised his glove and parried the attack. "W-What the hell is that thing made of?! Iron?"

"Heh, don't you know anything about Goku Uniforms?" Fukuroda taunted as he let out a chuckle.

"How the hell is that thing a uniform?" Ryuko shout back.

"The uniform for a boxer is simple, GLOVES and TRUNKS – And other stuff – Thanks to this special Athletic-Augmenting Two-Star Goku Uniformgiven to me by Lady Satsuki, my punches are as hard as steel and can't be beaten!" Fukuroda explained with a arrogant look taunting Ryuko

ATHLETIC-AUGMENTING TWO-STAR GOKU UNIFORM

As the fight continue with Ryuko being used as a ragdoll by the short captain, Edward looked at the scene with mixed feelings. Ryuko was at a disadvantage and it looked like her chances of winning were near to zero, her opponent was simply stronger than her. On the other hand, the very appearance of those power-granting uniforms made clear an unavoidable fact... This school was far from normal.

"God damnit!" He clenched his fists and teeth as he watched as his new friend was demolished. He always hated how people close to him were injured, regardless of the decisions they made to get to those situations. "I can't believe this… This bullshit wasn't supposed to be like this! I WAS RETIRED FOR GOD'S SAKE!" He screamed to the heavens in his head.

He was denying all of the evidence in front of him since the school entrance. Believing it was just a joke or something like that. Even with all the explaining going on he still was in denial he was not in a normal school. Until he witnessed the scene beforehand.

In the midst of his thoughts Fukuroda attacked Ryuko with a single punch that burst into a hundred, thousands more and began to pummel her brutally. Each one smacking her in her face only.

Then he uppercut her into the fly before jumping up and smashing her back down to the earth. Fukuroda stood over her with an evil smile as Ryuko was in intense pain with a smashed-up face.

"… Pathetic. Fukuroda, after you defeat her I want you to confiscate her weapon." Satsuki ordered as she watched the battle with a calculative gaze. "She obviously doesn't know the correct way to use it."

"Yes ma'am" Fukuroda responded with a grin as he lifted his left glove up.

"Hold it," Ryuko raised not. Her grit and determination now allowing her to stay down for long, "You better tell me what you know or else!"

"Shout your mouth!" Fukuroda roared with angry as he double-kicked Ryuko in the face, "No one speaks to Lady Satsuki that way. No one!"

Ryuko tried to attack Fukuroda, but sadly her movements were too slow and telegraph that the boxing captain easily dodged them all. All while taunting her while he does it.

"Time to end this!" Fukuroda winds up his fist to deliver the finale blow to knock her out.

Mako is shock not knowing what to do and Edward was beside himself with concern and hesitance. He could jump in and end this once and for all, but he'll have to kiss his normal life goodbye as he worked hard for this. But he didn't want to be so selfish that it endangered Ryuko's life.

… You know what? FUCK IT!

"The hell?"

"Who the–?!"

"Huh?"

Right in between Ryuko and Fukuroda's massive fist appeared Edward. All three individual's minds – Ryuko, Fukuroda and Satsuki – went blank at the sight.

*BANG*

A massive explosive erupted kicking up a large cloud of dust.

"Oh no, Eddie!" Mako cried out as she watched one of her besties get hit directly with Fukuroda's full-force punch.

And when the dust cleared, Edward was shown standing and he catched the fist with his bare hands!

"E-Eh?!" was all Fukuroda blurted out when he saw his attack did nothing to the student that 'fall' in between him and Ryuko.

Satsuki astonishingly blinked in surprise, but only briefly, at the scene. Being able to catch a punch wasn't something impressive, but being able to actually catch a fist powered by a Two-Star Goku Uniform was another thing completely!

"I think that was enough dude, the fight is over" Edward stated with a steel-like glare that made fukuroda step back out of fear, but the anger made the boxer recover his composure even though now his face had a murderous expression.

"Y-You bastard! How dare you?!" Fukuroda shouted as he jumped out of the crater with a pissed off look on his face, his gigantic glove pulled back as he prepared to attack Edward from behind. "This time I'm not going to pull my punch, take this! TEK! KEN! FUN! SAI!"

Edward snapped his head back to the giant fist heading towards him and Ryūko, as he raised his left arm and the space around it got distorted, then he "pulled out" an object from the space.

The black-haired teen raised his hand and used the object to block the fist easily, which surprised many as they watched the glove make contact with Edward's sword and the ground under the two transfer student's feet crack.

Nothing seemed to happen as the black-haired didn't even seem to be affected by the pressure Fukuroda was putting into his fist, that is until he lifted his head up to look at the boxer "… Is this all you've got? If so—!"

Slashing sounds could be heard through the area as the students watched in shock as Fukuroda's large gloves were cut into pieces like junk. Fukuroda looked at his now bare hands in shock before looking back up at Edward, who was holding a rusty and short boardsword in his left hand.

"—Then dissapear, you trash!"

Edward didn't give Fukuroda anymore time to look at his sword as he slammed his foot under Fukuroda's jaw and once again sent him flying away.

"Whoa, that was so cool!" Mako whispered to herself excitedly while Ryuko looked at her male friend with a stunned expression.

Ryuko blinked owlishly not registered what happened. She was about the being beated quite brutally but suddenly Edward appeared before her a blocked the boxer's blow with his bare hands. She would want to ask him a few question about it, he didn't stroke her as a brawler!

"E-Edward, what are you…?!" She was about to speak but the black-haired teen cutted her off.

"Now it's not time for play 'The Million Questions Game'. Just leave, as you are right now, you can fight properly" He stated with a dead serious tone without looking back at her.

She was going to shot back at him… Then she realized this was an opportunity for her to regroup.

"Tsk! Don't you dare to die on me, asshole!"

"Heh, don't worry. I can take care of myself too"

She turned around and blitz right out of here. It gave her a bad taste to leave the guy that just helped her but for some reason she knew nothing too bad would happen to him.

"Ryuko!" Mako called out to her casually "Are you going home already?"

Ryuko ran into a deliveryman on his scooter, knocked him, took his scooter, and drove away.

"HEY!" the deliverymen called out, "What about my delivery?" Ryuko drove back and dropped the package and left.

"Oh, I guess she went home" Mako chimed as she ran over to Edward "Oh, Eddie! That's was soooo cool~! Where did you learn those moves?!"

"Meh, my old master teached me" Edward replied casually with a cheerful smirk as he drop away his serious glare.

"You there… who are you?!"

"Hmm?"

Satsuki's voice called out making the two turn to look at her, though they could tell that the older teen's attention seemed to be focused on the black-haired swordsman.

"Oh, I'm just a wanderer who look for a proper education~! My name is Edward Redgrave" He answered with a goofy expression as he bowed the Council President. He was showing a carefree and cheerfully attitude that was completely inconsistent with his actions during his 'fight' against Fukuroda so most student raised an eyebrow at that.

In that momento, he noticed a important fact… He just screwed his chances for a normal life with that performance from before, and now he has the whole school attention!His eyes grow wider and he was speechless for a few seconds "Um… well school's over! Let's go home Mako!" Then he shouted as he grabbed Mako and ran right out the entrance.

"Whoa… Eddie you're fast too?! You're amazing!"

Satsuki's eyes never left where Edward went before spinning around on her heel and started walking away. As the Student President and her group left the homeroom teacher of 2-K was left trying to place together what just happened at the end of that fight.

Aikuro blinked, he was perplexed by the events "Well… that was certainly unexpected" He muttered as he ajusted his glasses.

(At Night)

STUDENT COUNCIL HEADSQUADTERS

At the very top of the tower of Honnōji Academy there was beautifully decorated room where Satsuki Kiryūin and her Elite Four went in order to discus and organize all of their plans, such was the job of the Student Council. But unlike the other times they had met up, there were two specific topics the five were focusing on as they were sitting around the room with Satsuki sitting in her chair on a higher level than the others. There was a One-Star student sitting in a corner playing a grand piano for the five, however it was being ignored as the sounds of someone being hit filled the room and their grunts that followed.

"You idiot!" A voice called out in anger.

This voice belonged to a teenager with mid-length dark green hair was wearing a Three-Star Goku Uniform that had been specially made into a long white coat with a high collar. In the back near his head was a built-in sword sheath that was currently empty and three spikes on each shoulder. The coat was open at the front to reveal a cadet-blue colored vest and a matching pair of white pants and shoes, and a belt with three metal spikes on the front. Sitting in front of him in a seiza position was Fukuroda, who kept his head down and his fists pressed against the floor next to him, and dozens of wooden shards were surrounding his form.

The boxer was sit wearing most of his Goku Uniform, but the gloves that Naruto had cut apart were complete removed from his outfit leaving him in his trunks and remaining gear. "I have nothing to say as an excuse! I can only apologize for my failure!"

"You let that girl escape after she mocked Satsuki-Sama, and you failed to confiscate her weapon after being ordered. It doesn't even matter if someone did interfere!" Ira Gamagoori shouted as he watched a green haired teen walk away from Fukuroda with a destroyed kendo stick in his hand. "Any mistakes made by clubs overseen by you make them your mistakes as well, Sanageyama!"

"Don't you think I fucking know that?! That's why I've been disciplining him for the past twenty minutes!" Uzu Sanageyama shouted as he fell back into one of the couches that were spread across the room, throwing the destroyed sword at Fukuroda and hitting the boxer in the head. Turning his grey towards the large man, Sanageyama had a smirk grow on his face before he spoke again. "But doesn't the mistake also fall onto the Disciplinary Committee for allowing Satsuki-Sama to be mocked, which means it's your mistake as well, Gamagoori"

Sitting on a stool next to a bar, a tealish hair colored teen was typing away at his laptop. He was wearing blue tinted eyeglasses and a collar-neck suit, with the collar covering the lower half of his face. The collar opened quickly just before he started to speak, "Satsuki-Sama, I've retrieved some intel on those new transfer students. Apparently she has been causing a ruckus with high schools in the eastern Kanto region, all of them being ones thatHonnōji Academy has conquered" His collar closed for a few seconds before opening once again as his head turned to Satsuki and the others, "But according to them, the reason they never sent word to us was because the battles that girl had been in were seen as insignificant."

"Insignificant? While it is not a completely definite, there is a strong possibility that she can stand on even grounds with a Goku Uniform… Inumuta, inform all the Principals of the branch high schools that they should not let such negligence happen again and to keep a proper eye out from now on" Satsuki ordered as she was handed a cup of tea from an elderly man wearing a butler outfit.

"At once M'lady!" Hōka Inumuta bowed his head before typing something into his laptop at a fast pace.

"How shocking. The toad, the monkey, and the dog all managed to screw up big time" The next one to speak with a mocking tone was a petite pink haired girl sitting in a heart shaped chair with numerous stuffed animals surrounding her, using a musical conductor wand in her hand to point at the three boys of the Elite Four. Nonon Jakuzure was wearing a Goku Uniform that was styled to look like a while female marching band outfit that had a large skull-marked hat and white boots that had wings accessories located near the ankles. "Though I can kinda understand the interest in that boy and his old-looking sword. I was shocked to see a weapon that could cut down Goku Uniforms"

"No, the blade itself doesn't have any special feature on its own, it's not a weapons made to combat Goku Uniforms but a mere mundane sword" Satsuki explained to her elites, who were all shocked at the new information.

"Then how he was able to cut down Fukuroda's Goku Uniform?!" Gamagoori questioned.

"I'm willing to bet, he was able to accomplish that with his sheer physical strength… Though the weapon that girl carried on the other hand was indeed a special crafted blade capable of cutting down Goku Uniform, and because of that simple fact I ordered to confiscated it" The dark-haired girl stated shocking the group. Turning her seat slightly to face the teal haired teen, Satsuki lifted the teacup in her hands to her mouth. "Inumuta, tell me about the girl… What was her name?"

"Ryūko Matoi, I manage to pull up her file." Inumuta answered while looking at a chart with an image of Ryūko on it before typing in something else.

"… Matoi, eh?" Satsuki stopped herself as she halted the teacup's movement just as it was about to touch her lips. "How interesting" She said with a smirk "So Ryūko Matoi, the daughter of Isshin Matoi, and Edward Redgrave, an unknown variable have come to my academy…" Satsuki thought to herself as an amused smile appeared on her face before she took a sip of her tea "Let us see what happens next"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(The next Day)

HONNŌJI ACADEMY ENTRANCE

After yesterday events Edward yawned as he walked up the steps alone to Honnōji Academy. "Man, what a devastating event it was yesterday. Ryuko needs to keep her cool. That's attitude going to get her into a lot of trouble."

Honestly going to his school was going to be a danger to him… well a danger to his normal life. All he has to do lay low and follow the rules. Hopefully they forget about that little 'stunt' with him and he can go on in bliss. Also, there's no other schools he can transfer to.

This whole situation was strange for him, and he knows Ryuko's backstory ha something to do with this but decided against asking her about it. He's just grateful she got away at least, though it was due to his "performance"… Ugh, he now has a bad gut feeling right now.

"What an idiot. Now it's almost certain that those guys would want a revenge againts me" He sighed with a frown. His stomach began to growl as he realized he didn't ate breakfast "Ugh… I'm so hungry…" He yawned with a petty look

As soon as he reached the entrance he was greeted by a sight of his friend.

"Good morning, Eddie! You made it to school!" Mako called out to him.

"Oh yeah, good morning to you… too… Mako…" Edward waved at his classmate until he noticed she was upside-down.

Chained to a board.

With Fukuroda and his boxing club around her.

"So glad you could make it on time, transfer student," Fukuroda smiled evilly, "Now it's time for revenge!" He laughed maniacally

"… Me and my big mouth" Edward gave them a nervous grin as he sweatdropped. Why him?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Some time later)

Soon after both Mako and Edward found themselves both upside-down and restrained to a metal cross board with a boiling pot directly below them. It seemed to be filled with cooking oil. In the schoolyard with possible the entire student body watching and a boxing ring placed right in the middle.

Edward sighed as he was dangling over the pot "… Don't you think this is a little over-the-top to fight Ryuko?" He said deadpanly.

"Silence!" Fukuroda barked at him as he slamed his giant glove on Edward's head, though it barely make the black-haired teen flinch "Anyone who sides with anyone against Satsuki-Sama is the enemy! And will be punished!"

"I'm technically not on Ryuko's side" the teen stated with a deadpan look "I just happen to be her classmate. And for the record, I just stopped you from brutally beat a person who couldn't properly defend herself, the whole encounter was too one-sided for my tastes"

"I don't care what you have to say! You still stopped me from finishing the transfer chick and then you humillated me in front of Satsuki-Sama" the short teen growled at him "Besides Mako here says the three of you are 'best friends'! That automatically puts you on her side!"

"Are you serious? I just did the right thing to do for once in a while and THIS is my reward?!… Then again, I indeed assaulted him" A sweatdropped Edward gave the boxing captain a look before his eyes settled on Mako who was placed next to him.

The girl smiled and giggled in his direction "Sorry Eddie. I didn't mean to get you into trouble as well" she apologized.

He let out another sigh, "It's not your fault. Don't worry. Anyway, can I get something to eat at least? I missed breakfast… AND LUNCH TODAY! I'M STARVING!"

"SHUT IT!" Fukuroda roared as he

"Oh man, oh man, this is bad! Everyone's going to see my underwear now!" Mako cried as her shirt and skirt fall down due to gravity and showing off more of her skin. "I should've worn my sexy panties today."

"THAT'S WHAT YOUR CONCERN ABOUT!?" Edward shouted with sharp-like teeth at Mako.

"Hey new girl! You listenin'?" Fukuroda spoke into the mic that his voice speaks out throughout the entire city with the loudspeakers. "An hour from now we'll going to execute your little friends! They're accessories to your crime of treason against Honnōji Academy! If you want to save their lives, quit hiding like a coward and SHOW YOURSELF!"

"Using hostages is kinda cliché, don't you think?" Sanageyama said standing beside Fukuroda.

"If I fail again my Goku Uniform is going to be confiscated," Fukuroda explained his reasons behind this, "Since Mankanshou and Redgrave are the only two students to speak to the new girl. I don't have any other options."

"It sounds like you got your priories straight. Good" the green-haired man praised the captain, "Now get out there. Prove yourself."

"What's wrong with sending a challenge letter or something?" Edward rolled his eyes at his asinine reasoning, "Or at least wait for her to come back. She was going to return to school regardless!"

Fukuroda glared at him, "And you know this, because?"

"Are you stupid!? Remember she wanted to know the answer to her question about the scissor blade? Which I don't see how asking a question is treason, but she was wrong for attacking. And like I was saying she seem pretty hellbent on learning the answer to that question!" The teen shot back with his own glare. Fukuroda flinched at his shouting.

The boxing captain blinked and grumbled a bit, "I suppose there's some logic to what you're saying, but I'm making sure she'll come back 100% guarantee—"

"Some logic!?"

"—So, shut up and stand still as I crush your friend when she gets here."

"… You're never going to get a girlfriend for the rest of your life, aren't you?" Edward just looked at him with a sour expression.

"W-What the?! SHUT THE HELL UP YOU NO-STAR NOBODY! I'LL DEEP FRY YOUR ASS FIRST!" Fukuroda roared with a marked vein on his forehead.

"I like this guy already. I guess he could be a good challenger" The green-haired man snickered at the banter between the two. "Though I still don't get it. Why does he let himself being trapped if he could pretty much defeat Fukuroda easily? And the aura he has is odd, almost dark. Something is off about him" His eyes glanced at the black-haired boy chained to the board.

"Noooo! If you guys dip me in the oil, everyone's going to see right through my uniform!" Mako cried out again

"Ah man, that oil is totally going to make my clothes see through! I knew I should've worn my sexy panties today!" Mako whined as she tried to move away from the bubbling tub of oil knowing they'll deep fry the both of them. "This is bad, this is so not good!"

"AGAIN! THAT'S WHAT YOUR CONCERNED ABOUT!?"

"Either that girl is being incredible brave or incredible stupid" the green-haired man commented with bewilderment about the girl's behavior.

Suddenly a hooded figure jumped up from the crowd and began using the students as stepping stones to dart across the field and jumped onto Mako's restrains and breaks them off for her.

"Ryuko?" Mako spoke up revealing the figure that had saved her.

"Hold on tight, okay?" Ryuko told her as she grabbed Mako and leaped off the metal cross board holding her as other students tried to grab Ryuko.

All failing and falling into the cooking oil themselves. Jumping out in pain all deep-fried themselves. Getting her away safely Ryuko placed Mako down.

"Uh, Ryuko?" Mako spoke up to her savior.

"What?"

"You forgot our other Bestie" the bowl-haired girl pointed out to their other friend still restrained himself.

He waved his hand, despite being tied down, with an unamused expression, "Hey, glad you could make it" He said sarcastically with a twitching eyebrow.

"WAIT! He was here too?!" Ryuko exclaimed.

"YOU SERIOUSLY DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS HERE TOO?!" The black-haired teen found it hard to believe, it was like someone shoehorned the reason why she missed him. As if someone didn't plan it far ahead.

Ryuko's eyes flared up and pointed her scissor blade at Fukuroda, "Not only did you kidnap Mako, but you also kidnapped Eddard too!"

"IT'S EDWARD, RYUKO! NOT EDDARD! I'M NOT SOME JACKASS WHO GOT HIMSELF KILLED AND DIDN'T PASS THE FIRST SEASON!"

"Silence both you, you outsider trash!" Fukuroda dismissed her "I've been looking forward to seeing you again! Today I'm going to make you regret insulting Satsuki-Sama and the honor of our school!"

"Again… SHE. ASKED. A. QUESTION!" he chipped in a exasperated motion. It is like he was speaking to choirs.

"Heh, if you are so willing to beat me then we can fight here and now!" Ryuko replied with a feral smirk, ignoring her black-haired friend.

"Heh, I don't recall making you a member but if that's how you want to play it then I accept the challenge!" Fukuroda grinned as he tossed the microphone to the side of the ring and held up his gloves in front of him, "Thanks to this black-haired asshole's actions yesterday I almost got my uniform taken away, but then I was also given some new gloves that are even stronger than my previous ones"

"Great, then it's just going to be that much sweeter when I take you down." Ryūko replied as she waited for the bell to sound, which it soon did as a blonde girl in a red and white bikini started walking across the ring with a sign over her head, which has the words Round 1.

*DING!*

"I'm going to haze you like the newbie you are!" Fukuroda shouted out throwing his left gloved fist forward, knocking the blonde girl out of the ring in the process, and released a torrent of spiked gloved at Ryuko. But even with all of the punches landed successfully on her body, the girl only stood in one place as all of the fist bounced across every inch of the boxing ring. "How do you like it? My left jabs are much faster than before and have an edge to them which makes them even more deadly!"

"Ryuko!" Mako called out as she watched her new friend getting pummeled once again by the boxer.

A barrage of boxing glove projectiles rammed into her body and bounced off. Hitting the ring's ropes allowing the attack to continue to bounce off and again smash right into Ryuko.

"You like that!?" the boxing captain laughed like a maniac, "The ring's filling up with my juggernaut of LEFT JABS!"

Then he rushed her, "And here comes the RIGHT STRIKE— Though IT's really a CORKSCREW! TEN! KEN! FUN! SAI!" Fukuroda's corkscrew punch tore right through Ryuko's cloak destroying it completely.

But his attack was absorb by her Scissor Blade and that… she was wearing some sort of dominatrix outfit.

"W-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING?!" Fukuroda was losing his focusing as he was eyeing Ryuko's new look which showed a lot of skin. A lot of skin.

"None of your fucking business." Ryūko quickly shot back as a flush of red appeared on her cheeks.

"Well, who would thought that she was THAT gifted? I guess her previous uniform didn't gave her assets much spotlight, huh?" Edward went bright red in the face as he glanced at the girl's attire and well endowed figure.

She was wearing a skimpy battle suit of some sort. The strange collar had a strange small scarf that seemed a pair of eyes with the right one covered by a scar, and three red suspenders that were connecting the collar to her short black skirt with two of them barely covering her chest in the front while a single one covered the middle of her back. Her arms and legs were fully covered with the same black material with two smaller suspenders connecting her skirt to the black leggings that ended on red high heel shoes… Needless to say, many were getting quite the eyeful much to the crowd's viewing pleasure and Ryuko's embarrassment/annoyance.

All in all, she was wearing a skimpy outfit, and she was clearly embarrassed to be wearing such a thing

"You're cheating!" Fukuroda gritted his teeth holding back his manly urges, "You're trying to distract me with your sexiness, are you?!" Fukuroda shouted as he focused his staring on the red suspenders pressing against Ryūko's large breasts.

"I'm not wearing this because I want!" Ryūko answered with a much stronger blush.

"How dare you! You are mocking not only the wonderful sport of boxing, but ALL SPORTS in general!"

"I am not!" Ryūko replied back as she gritted her teeth.

"All right, then. If that's the case," Fukuroda took several steps back and reached down towards his trunks. "Then I'll will just have to strip as well"

"PLEASE DON'T!" Edward pleaded. No one needs to see that.

"Now who's the one whose mocking?!" Ryūko shouted at the bald teen.

"It's your fault for wearing such an outfit, Ryuko," the chained-up boy glanced at Ryuko dismissively "I'm pretty sure wearing something like that will land you in prison in most countries"

"Shut up perv!"

"I have no interest in what you're wearing. I'm not into S&M like you do"

"I said shut it EDMUND!"

"IT'S EDWARD!"

"Ryuko, don't listen to him it's fine if you want to be an Exhibitionist!" Mako cheered, "And Eddie, you need to be more supportive with Ryuko's fetishes!"

"It's not a fetish!"

"If I were supportive, I would talk her out of it"

"ENOUGH!" Fukuroda boomed as he ripped off the exterior of one of his gloves. The glove on his left hand seemed to shift around like a sheet before it fell off to reveal a more squared boxing glove with spikes at the end of it.

"I will take off the soft gloves that I use for away battles." Fukuroda grinned before he held out his new glove out proudly above his head. "Behold and feast your eyes! These are the true form of the Honnōji Academy's Boxing Club Athletic-Augmenting Two-Star Gloves!" Reaching his other hand up, Fukuroda pulled on a chain and even more spikes shout of the glove while the ones at the end became more jagged like saws. "I usually keep them under wraps because if I didn't then students from other schools would be too afraid to fight me. But now that I have them out for everyone to see I feel even more strength flowing through me!"

"WHAT?!" Ryuko looked furious.

"Behold!" the captain explained with a crazy expression, "This is what the real Honnōji Academy Boxing Club Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Gloves looks like!"

HONNŌJI ACADEMY BOXING CLUB ATHLETICISM-AUGMENTING TWO-STAR GLOVES

"That's a mouthful and lame, dude. And was that REALLY worth the red letters?!" Edward comment with sweatdrop as he glances the weird-shaped gloves

"Even for someone who doesn't know all the rule like me, I can see these gloves are definitely illegal." Ryūko added as she stared at the large weaponized glove briefly before an amused smirk grew on her face. "Well, whatever… Let's see what you got"

"Here it comes! Unlike before when I didn't know what you were hiding under that cloak, this will be one of my strongest punches!" Fukuroda shouted as he heard the bell ring once again to signal the start of the next round and lunged forward with a fist pulled back. His spiked gloved started to spin once again as the boxer threw his right glove at the upper half of Ryūko's body. "And since you're half naked, this punch will rip that little piece of fabric to shreds and send you flying!"

The sounds of Fukuroda's fist making contact with Ryūko echoed through the area, and for a few seconds nothing seemed to happen.

*CRACK*

—Until the sounds of something starting to crack was heard. Many waited in anticipation for what they thought was going to happen, until they saw that it was actually Fukuroda's glove that shattered. Ryūko smirked as she swatted the remains of the glove away from her, "Sorry, but that punch was way to weak"

"W-What the hell?!" Fukuroda shouted as he looked between his destroyed glove and Ryūko in shock. "My upgraded glove was—"

"Your glove may be able to turn into steel, but so does my outfit!" Ryūko explained as her smirk turned into a frown, "In fact, my outfit is even stronger than your gloves!"

"Impossible!" The boxer shouted as he kept hitting Ryūko over and over again, but they didn't seem to affect her at all as she didn't even look like she was in the middle of being attacked. "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"

"Give it up already! Your punches are so weak now that they can't do a thing to me anymore!" Ryūko shouted at Fukuroda, who started to sweat as he fruitlessly continued his assault.

Up on the tower, Nonon and the other Elite Four looked down at the battle in shock. "What the hell is up with those clothes?"

"Could it be a Goku Uniform as well?" Inumuta commented as he looked down at his touchscreen device, imputing the data he was currently viewing. "I've never seen one like that before though."

"Hoh~?" Satsuki raised her head up a little as she seemed to recognize the outfit Ryūko was wearing.

Down below, Mako was staring into the ring with a look of awe until it was quickly replaced with excitement. "Oh, wow! I didn't know you knew how to box, Ryuko!"

"I… I don't think she does" Matarō replied as he shifted closer to his sister while dodging her mock punches, before turning his head to look at Ryuko's appearance with a perverted expression. "But this chick is awesome! She's totally awesome! This view is awesome!" He repeated while ogling her.

Finally, no longer to bare everyone staring at her and Fukuroda's repeated failed attacks Ryuko ends the fight by beating him with her Scissor Blade with mocked boxing moves like Left Jab, and Right Hook.

Fukuroda was unable to defend himself as Ryūko and her sparkling sword slashed passed him, and seconds later his entire wardrobe, Goku Uniform and underwear as well, were cut to ribbons leaving him completely naked. "GRRAAAAHHH!?"

"SEN-I SŌSHITSU!"

"That's impossible!" Sanageyama exclaimed in shock. On the roof of the tower, the remaining Elite Four were also shocked by what they had just witnessed.

"A Goku Uniform..." Gamagoori started to say.

"Was defeated by the new girl!?" Nonon finished.

Inumuta adjusted his glasses with a calculative gaze, "This is the power of the Scissor Blades, huh? It's very impressive."

"No, it isn't her blade… There's more to it than that." Satsuki said as she took notice to a single red thread coming out of the destroyed Goku Uniform before it entered the outfit that Ryuko was wearing, causing it to glow red briefly.

Spinning her weapon to that the blunt side was facing outward, Ryuko swung the weapon like a bat at the airborne Fukuroda and made contact with his stomach. "Now get your naked ass… OUT OF MY FACE!" This a large amount of strength in her hit, the now bicolor haired girl sent Fukuroda flying into the air in the direction of the tower… and more specifically, Satsuki Kiryūin.

They all gasped that they failed and Satsuki's beautiful face was stained. Never taking her eyes off of Ryuko she wiped the blood off with her thumb.

"How dare you!" the green-haired roared at the transfer student. Ready to jump in and beat her.

"Stand down Sanageyama." The green haired teen turned his head upward to look back at Satsuki after hearing her speak. The Student Body President stared down at the two new students of her academy with her hands holding onto the handle on her sword tightly. "Tell me new girl, where did you get your hands on that outfit?"

Ryuko kicked the mic to her head and announced her answer "I got it from my father."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really. Now are you seeing this Scissor Blade?" Ryuko rose her Scissor Blade to show it to Satsuki, "It was left behind by the scumbag who killed him! And now, you're going to tell me who–!"

"AHHH!?"

The sudden cry of distress caused Ryuko to stop with her talking and look over to see Mako freaking out. Tears starting to form in her eyes. Even Satsuki glanced in her direction.

"Huh? Mako? What's wrong, why are you–?" Ryuko started to ask not sure why Mako is acted like this.

"Eddie's gone! He felled into the cooking oil!" the energetic girl cried out in anguish.

"What?!" Ryuko shouted in shock and looked over to where Eddie was tied up. She forgot to pull him out, but was caught up in the fight. Only to see no one was present on the board and the cooking oil looked like it was boiling something already.

"Wahhhhh! I lost a new friend already!" Mako fell to her knees crying her eyes out.

Ryuko's breathing hitched for a moment. Her eyes twitching in disbelief. She let someone die because of her. Her heart was tightened with guilt and pain. She wanted to found out who killed her father, but not at the expense of other people's lives. Let alone some one who was willing to help her.

If only she stopped to rescue him too, he'd still be alive.

She can never let herself live this down. But the one truly responsible was—!

Ryuko gritted her teeth and snarled at Satsuki, "Satsuki…," she raised her blade at the queen bee, "You're going to pay for killing Chris!"

"Hey, I'm not dead yet, you know!"

Everyone halted.

Ryuko who was extremely angry did a 180 and turned her emotions from rage to confusion as she looked to her left and spotted the black-haired boy, who was standing in the edge of the ring eating a rather large sandwich.

"E-Edward!?"

"Yo, Ryuko!" he saluted before he opened his mouth and clamped down on the giant sandwich. His cheeks puffed up like chipmunks as he chewed his food with content.

"W-What? How… why…?" the poor girl was confused as all heck. How'd he get out of his restrains was beyond her, and most people shared her thoughts.

"Why? Because I was hungry of course! You try going about the day with no breakfast and lunch and see how long your stomach! I was practically dying!" he stated as he took another bite.

"… I'm pretty sure humans can last a month without food," Ryuko dryly replied.

"Not me!" as he took another big bite.

"Wait! Did anyone see him leave his restrains?!" Nonon pointed out. She doesn't remember him leaving at all. Especially, to go make a sandwich and come back.

Satsuki, who was watching the entire thing, had her eyes widen in surprise as well. Not even she noticed him leave at all and return. No noise, no movement, no… presence. And that… interested her.

"Yeah! Eddie, you're alive!" Mako shouted with glee and she glomped him. Hugging him tightly around the waist, "I was so worried! I thought I lost my new Bestie already and that would've made me super sad and I'd had to hold a funeral and—"

"Whoa, whoa, easy there Mako! I'm a tough guy, you know~!" Edward patted her head with a free hand and gave her a warm smile.

Releasing a relaxed sigh Ryuko didn't know she had she turned her attention back to Satsuki, "Now where was I… oh, right! Satsuki you better tell me who has the other half of my Scissor Blade!"

"Matoi Ryuko is your name, right?" Satsuki said more as a statement than a question, "Interesting. Then you must be Matoi Isshin's daughter"

Ryuko's eyes lit up and growled. She finally found her first real lead after the weapon and outfit, "I knew it! You knew who my Father was!"

However, Ryuko could not stand any longer as more steam came out of her outfit and kneeled down. Her Scissor Blade as support.

[You're bleeding too much Ryuko]

A deep male voice spoke to Ryuko.

"You said you wanted blood, right? You getting full now?"

[No, but in about 5 minutes you're going to lose consciousness]

"What?! Why didn't you say that before?"

Ryuko got back up to her feet. Her body struggle to move due to blood loss as she glared at the Student President. Her Scissor Blade pointed at her.

"We'll pick this up later Satsuki Kiryuin!" Ryuko then leaped off of the ring and made a mad dash for it, "Count on it!"

"That's… interesting. I didn't knew that outfit has a min don its own, let alone a soul"Edward tilted his head and stared at the outfit's "eye".

The green-haired man shouted and command the students to chase after her.

Satsuki slammed her sheathe onto the ground and a bright light appeared behind her. "Don't bother. She'll be back eventually. Leave her be until then."

Though she declared this her eyes soon fall on Edward who looked back at her. The two continue to look at each other as the boy finished his sandwich. Not sure why she's staring at him or liking the way she's studying Edward hopped off from his spot and walked to the entrance. Now that everyone is looking at him and he doesn't want to be the center of attention anymore.

"This was fun. Let's not do this again, okay Mako?" the boy beckoned the bubbly girl as the two head home.

"Yeah! Oh, by the way you're invited to my house for dinner! What do you say?!"

As the two leave the school grounds Satsuki breaks her focus on the boy and had returned to her Student Council room.

(Night time)

STUDENT COUNCIL HEADSQUADTERS

"Your tea miss," Lady Satsuki's butler announced as he poured her favorite tea into her cup. "Careful it's hot."

After she took a sip she mused what she's learned today, "So the new girl has a Kamui."

She smirked as she looked at her Elite Four who entered the room. "Everyone be prepared for Matoi's return."

"Ma'am"

"Also, Inumuta, have you learned anything about that other student? Edward Redgrave" Satsuki asked. The real object of curiosity for her.

The blue-haired adjusted his glasses as he stepped forward, "Yes, Lady Satsuki. I've dug up whatever I could find and have learned… But I could find nothing relevant about him"

"Impossible! How can he have no information?!" the pink-haired girl jumped and pointed with an accusing finger at Inumuta. "Are you sure you searched alright?"

"Don't get me wrong, I did said I don't find relevant information. Birth certificate, photos, his family name, school grades – Though he was homeschooled by his grandmother most of his life – Those things were easy to find... But when I looked at more specifical matters, something or rather someone kicked me out of the database" Inumuta replied with a frown, he was clearly unamused by the prospects of being "kicked out".

"My, my, ot seems the Dog has been bested in his own domain" Nonon commented with a sly smile.

"Must be a proficient Hacker like you, Inumuta. Though I'm stunned by the fact that you were beated so easily in your work area" Ira Gamagoori stroked his chin trying to figure out how this was conceivable.

"Come on, that's shouldn't be possible. Is it possible someone to just kick you out just like that?" the green-haired man suggested.

"You doubt my talents? I am positive. I've turned every stone I could find. But that person keeps blocking me… Though I did find one note of interest" Inumata stated as he pulled up a file "He was given a letter of recommendation by the Prime Minister himself"

"What?! How'd a slacker like him get a recommendation from the Prime Minister!?" the pink-haired girl shouted in shock. "He obvious had to bribe him or something! Let me find him now and beat him to death!"

"You dare disobey Satsuki-Sama's orders!?" Ira growled angrily at the girl, "We were ordered to stand back and observe Ryuko's group. Nothing more!"

Satsuki raised her hand to end the quell. The Elite Four bowed to their leader.

"My lady"

"For the time being, continue to survey both Matoi and Redgrave. We will deal with them when the time comes"

"Ma'am!"

"Edward Redgrave" Satsuki thought to herself with interest. Taking a sip from her tea "One way or another I will found out who you are" She smirked as she watched out at the large window.
