The class, who was still trying to process the fact that the little sister of the most powerful meister in DWMA history was standing in their classroom, didn't even notice Black*Star smirk and say with an air of complete confidence, "You want me, the great Black-Star, to fight her? HA! No problem, she doesn't even have a weapon partner just those ordinary, little knives!"
Before Black-Star could finish his boasting, Gwen leaped from her spot at the front of the classroom and onto Black*Star's desk, the handle spikes of her kamas just grazing the skin on each side of Black-Star's neck.
"Ordinary, little knives, huh? I seem to remember a certain samurai I've heard of that defeated a rather cocky meister from the academy with ordinary, little knives. Now why don't you stop spouting out crap and grab your weapon partner so we can fight and I can rip out your insides."
Black-Star, who was slightly taken aback by the look Gwen was giving him, collected himself and said, "Tsubaki, lets show her why you never mess with the great assassin Black*Star!"
As Tsubaki transformed, Black*Star and Gwen took their position at the front of the classroom. Stein sat in his chair and studied his sister, "The madness is definitely affecting her. She may even be more consumed by it than I am. All the signs are there, though subtle. She seems to be in complete control, but I know here to well to be fooled by that. I decided to have her fight Black*Star so I could see how strong she has gotten, but I hope I will not have to step in and keep her from killing him."
Stein brought himself out of his thoughts, "Okay, Black-Star, Gwen. Ready... Fight!"
Black-Star attacked first jumping into the air intending to slash Tsubaki's blades diagonally across Gwen's neck. Gwen, who didn't even blink at Black-Star's ferocious attack, side-stepped as Black-Star brought the weapon's lethal blades down and delivered a powerful elbow strike to his temple. Black*Star flew back several feet from the force of the blow. He soon recovered and rushed back in to attack Gwen. The moment Black*Star was in range Gwen aimed a front kick to his solar plexus, hitting her mark. Black*Star doubled over in pain as pure rage covered his face. He growled and began to ready himself for another attack, but before he could even completely right himself Gwen stepped up and round-house kicked him square in the face. Blood gushed from Black*Star's now broken nose. Gwen stood transfixed by the red liquid dripping from Black*Star's nose as a sadistic smile slowly cracked her face. Moving faster than anyone could follow Gwen drop kicked Black*Star sending his feet flying out from underneath him. Digging her knee into his stomach she pinned him to the floor and slowly began to carve a long line across Black*Star's face with the blade of one of her kamas. Stein quickly came up behind his sister a gently put his hand on her shoulder.
"Gwen, that's enough."
Gwen looked up at her brother's concerned face with crazed eyes. As the seconds ticked by the smile slowly started to slip from her lips and she rose off of Black-Star.
"Ya, I think your right." Turning to Back-Start he said in her usual monotone voice, "That was exactly what I expected from you."
Tsubaki transformed and tried to help Black-Star to his feet but he just shoved her off and yelled, "WHAT!? WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?!"
"Your fighting style completely consists of powerful strikes. You need to focus less on brute strength. To be a master martial artist you must find a balance between strength and speed. It is important to be strong and powerful but you must also be fast and precise. If you'd like I could teach you. I am a sensei after all. You have great potential, but I'll only do it if it's okay with your professor."
Black-Star and Gwen both turned to look Stein who stood there and considered it. "Black*Star would benefit greatly from having Gwen as a teacher. She's made a living off of teaching kids like Black*Star, but she did lose control while fighting him. Although, when I stepped in she regained control fairly quickly."
Having made his decision Stein looked at them both and said, "Black*Star, you will begin your training with Gwen next week but I will be present during your lessons."
The bell that signaled the end of class rang and the students began to file out of the classroom. Stein brought his hand up and twisted the screw in his head until it made an audible click. "I've been having enough difficulties trying to keep myself under control and now I have to keep Gwen from carving up students? This is not going to end well."
