Chapter 4 here

Do enjoy!

Tsunayoshi Sawada had been a wimp, a loser, an unlucky boy and all the other loser-like terms that you can think of, it would all associated with him one way or another. He had never been good with anything even when he gave it his best. But that all changed when the world's best hitman came to his house in the form of an infant.

Since the appearance of said infant hitman, his life was turned upside down and inside out. Being told he was to be the boss of one of the strongest mafia families or Familigia of all time then being forced to train, meeting new people, making new friends and creating unbreakable bonds along the way.

Tsuna was forced into battle multiple times to save his friends but while he might have thought that it was all a coincidence, he soon found out about Reborn's manipulative ways.

Present day Tsuna had changed for the better and had accepted his role as boss and his body had several survival habits pounded into him to assure that he was able to see the light of a new day instead of continuing on to sleep for eternity.

One such survival habit was waking up at precisely four A.M. and exercising afterwards.

It was the first morning since Tsuna arrived at Mahora Academy and it took him a few moments to finally recognize his surroundings after he sprang from the bed into a fighting stance. Sensing no one other the owner, helper and a large amount of creepy dolls, all staring like they want to drill a hole into him and laughing evilly at him, he relaxed and released his stance. By now, Tsunayoshi Sawada was not a person to be easily surprised of frighten, as such he was able to ignore the dolls, proceed on with his morning rituals, change into some sport wear and leave the cottage before he ran towards the campus while screaming his lungs out, waking up all the residents of the forest as a result.

Each morning started off with warm-ups that comprises of what world-class athletes usually do for their exercise before slowing down into doing any kind of exercise he wanted, Vongola style that is.

Through the simple (?) act of exercising, Tsuna was able to understand what the Mammon Ring was capable of. Put into simple terms, it seals up all flames and prevents anything from coming out unless forced, leaving an aura behind to hint to whether a person could use their Dying Will Flames.

The whole process was thrown to the back of his mind and while he was still physically up to his usual standards, he was mentally strained, as if he did not get enough sleep before put through one of Reborn's version upped training courses.

He spends an hour and the half jogging in the street of Mahora Academy, where there still not a single soul that is awake which is a good thing for him. The Vongola heir was drenched in his own sweat while resting at the same bench that he and Konoka sat from last time. It was a good idea to have brought his wallet along, enabling him to buy a few cans of coffee from the vending machine to properly start the day. Massaging his muscles while drinking his coffee and enjoy the rising sun was the best thing to do every morning. And to make thing better there's not a single hair or hide of his evil tutor. He was glad that he took the request.

"Ah~ peace at last." Tsuna wipe the imaginary tears streaming out of his eyes. "I never thought this day would actually come."

"Ara, Sawada-sensei? Is that you?"

His rejoice was interrupted by an unfamiliar voice. Looking up he saw a girl with twin orange ponytail hair tied with ornament bells. She also has different coloured eyes; her left eye was blue while her right eye was green, which lead to Tsuna assuming that she has heterochromia, reminding him of a certain other person also with heterochromia. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt with blue jean and blue tennis shoes, a bag full of newspapers hanging by her side.

It was a student from his class and if he remembered correctly…

"Kagurazaka-san? Am I correct? You are Kagurazaka-san, right?"

"Ah that's right. We didn't have a proper introduction but I'm Kagurazaka Asuna. Nice to meet ya, Sensei."

"Nice to meet you too, Kagurazaka-san."

"Watcha doing this early in the morning?" Asuna asked as she plopped herself right next to Tsuna.

"Just my morning exercise." *chuckle*

"That's rare around here…. *sigh* is it an everyday thing, Sensei?"

"Yeah. From 4 A.M. till I get tired or when I am needed to do something, like eat breakfast."

*weak laugh*This had thrown Asuna's mind for a spin. She did not expect anyone getting up earlier than her and most surely did not expect her new teacher to be the one to do so.

"Oi~ Kagurazaka-san? Earth to Kagurazaka Asuna-san, you in there?"

"Ah!*startled out of her trance and thoughts* Gomen, sensei…May I ask you a question?" A weird scene had suddenly popped into her head and Asuna desperately needed to get it out of her head.

"I don't mind. What do you need to ask?"

"….It's just…..How did Sawada-sensei become a teacher?" 'One Negi is enough for the whole world'

"Eh?...Well I went for the licence exam and got my teaching licence there naturally. Is there any other way I could have taken to become a teacher." 'Gomen Kagurazaka-san. Sorry for lying to you.'

"…Hahaha…That's right…that's right…Sorry for the weird question." 'Phew….'

"I don't mind but speaking of which, don't you need to go and deliver those newspapers, Kagurazaka-san?"

"Ah! That's right! Gomen, Sensei, I will see you later!"

"Ja matta ne! (See you later)"

After Asuna had left Tsuna remained on the bench smiling.

"This place sure is full of interesting people. Well, time to get ready for school, as a teacher that is."

It seems that interesting people had also included a bear that uses martial arts. Tsuna had decided to entertain himself by trading blows with the bear, now thankful for the sessons of martial arts he had taken form the Arcobaleno Fon.

"I guess it's time to end this, don't you think so, Kuma-san (bear-san)?"

The response he got was what looked like a confused look on the bear's features.

Using his smaller build and speed, Tsuna got right in front of the bear before unleashing an exaggerated upper cut to the bear's chin. Anyone with a certain level of skill would definitely agree that it was filled with useless movement.

"SKY UPPERCUT~~!" When the fist impacted on the bear's chin, it was sent flying a good few meters back into the covers of the forest.

"You would just that bear's pride if don't use your full power, Tsunayoshi."

Enter the powerful Loli-vampire, Evangeline A.K. McDowell and her servant, Chachamaru Karakuri.

"Good morning, Tsuna-san." Said Chachamaru with a bow.

"Good morning, Evangeline and Chacha-chan."

Cue rapid colouring of Chachamaru's face and swift look down to hide her face.

"Ho~~~" this time it was the Loli-vampire.

"I…is there a problem?...Evangeline?"

"Chachamaru get to be Chacha-chan so quickly then what about me? Aren't you change how you call me?"

"Eh…?! Well I'm living as a guest at your cottage, so it would be rude of me and if you knew Primo you must be at least a 100-ye.."

"Huh? What was that you just said? *full force Glare*"

"HIEEE~!"

"Come on, tell what you were about to say, Tsu~na~-yo~shi~kun~."

"You are very cute?..."

"Hmm~ *continue glare*"

"….Gomennasai…."Tsuna then began to shrink till he was at chibi-soft toy-sized with little cat (?) ears sticking out at the sides.

Twitch went one of the feline ears and the Master and servant combo was almost sent to their knees.

"*splutters* Come on Chachamaru, grab him and lets head to school, the bell is about to ring."

More than willing, the Gynoid swept the Chibi Tsuna into her arms and began hugging him like one would a soft toy.

"Meow~" purred a satisfied chibi-Tsuna sending another destructive wave into the surroundings forcing his companions to use the tree near them as support to prevent themselves from collasping.

'Damn Giotto and his tricks! To think that his descendants would inherit them!" Screamed the inner Eva while she steadied herself and walked towards the campus grounds.

Home room had been nothing short of a mess as the students had decided to make Chibi-Tsuna their new mascot, taking pictures and hugging him while exclaiming how cute he was. The fact that he had entered in the arms of Chachamaru was soon forgotten by most. Keyword: most.

First period was PE so after homeroom Tsuna told the girls to head to the track field for their first PE lesson together.

Arriving first, Tsuna checked the tracks and decided that it was good enough to test the class.

After the class had gathered, Tsuna took out the schedule he had made the day before and split the class into the three strength groups he had decided upon.

Those who did almost no exercise got the standard run around the track for how many laps routine.

Those who did mild training got extra laps and finally with those who were mafia level got Arcobaleno course A. All of them were of course without a doubt Vongola styled.

'It's show time'

Leaving aside the first two groups, even the last group was getting a little winded through half of the lesson but if it Arcobaleno course A then what do you expect?

"The rest of the lesson will be for you to rest, we will continue the warm-up the next PE lesson! Get ready later for the History lesson, I will be going over the quiz you all did yesterday! Dismissed!"

The whole class finally collapsed from exhaustion while those who did not take part looked at the scene either with glee or a poker face.

The History lesson later had been absolutely chaotic since Tsuna had decided that occasionally appearing in chibi mode was fun. The class was surprisingly attentive after they calmed down despite him still being chibi. Teaching on top of the teacher's podium was also a nice experience of Reborn felt from time to time as Reboyama.

Tsuna had given out another quiz based on what he had taught during the lesson and was now marking those quizzes in the guest room he now occupies.

It was just after he finished the last one when Chachamaru entered his room.

"Tsuna-san, sorry to interrupt but the Dean is here and he wants to see you."

"Oh don't worry you didn't interrupt anything. Do lead the way, Chacha-chan."

"Good afternoon Tsunayoshi-kun." The Dean greeted the Vongola heir.

"Good afternoon, Dean." Tsuna could sense that there is a disturbing in the room and Sakurazaki glaring at him confirm his suspicion.

"So… is what is it that you want me, Dean?"

The old mage laugh nervously. "Oh. It is not me, but Setsuna-kun here that you need to talk to."

Suddenly a sword flashed to the side of Tsuna's face, the wielder none other than Setsuna Sakurazaki. Despite being held at knifepoint, Tsuna kept a straight face and took a deep breath.

"Is there a reason as to why you are pointing a sword at me, Sakurazaki-san?"

"Hai, Sawada-sensei. The reason is that I challenge you." Her voice carrying her intent and determination.

"I see….Before we so this, may I ask why you want to challenge me?"

"…Very well. It is to determine who is the better bodyguard for Konoka-ojou-sama!"

"I see….Is there any way we could settle this peacefully."

"I doubt that there is a better way to settle this than through battle, Sensei."

"Fine…I accept your challenge. Let step outside the cottage. I doubt Evangeline would appreciate us going wild in her house."

Taking a stance with a distance between them, the two fighters readied themselves and when the unsounded agreement was acknowledged, Setsuna dashed forth and aimed a slash at her teacher's left shoulder. Thinking that she would be able to end the fight in one strike she slashed but was surprised to see that Tsuna had already pivoted his body to dodge the slash.

This stunned her but she was able to control herself and unleashed a flurry of slashes and stabs as a response but all them were either dodged or redirected by her teacher's martial arts.

Unwilling to give up, Setsuna distanced herself from the target and used her Shinmei-ryu.

"Shinmei-ryu Ougi – Zanganken!" she cried as she slashed at Tsuna's head from above.

"Amai! (Naïve!)" crossing his hands, Tsuna caught the blade and redirected the attack to the ground on his right side. Using this opportunity, he trusted his left hand towards the shocked Setsuna and sent her flying, resulting in her crashing into a tree.

Tsuna admits that Setsuna was a superb swordswomen, one that would stand on the level of Takeshi and Squalo given the time to improve. Her attacks were fierce and swift yet still were full of grace. Taking the chance while Setsuna was still down, he destroyed the spy camera that had been flying around with a stone. It would not do for more people to find out his identity of the extent of his abilities

"Come on Sakurazaki-san, I know from our exchange that you are not one to go down from a blow like that. This fight is far from over isn't it?"

As the dust settled, Setsuna could be seen with her stance readied.

"You should know by now that you cannot beat me as you are now. That's why I shall make a condition. Last until sunset against me, if you do I will consider it to be your win."

"I don't need your pity! I just need to defeat you! Hiken- Zankusen!"

Taking in the approaching Ki wave, Tsuna raised the flame pressure in his right glove and simply smacked the Ki wave aside, destroying a few more trees.

"If that is the way you want to go at it, I shall use all of my power to take you on. Do not regret your decision later on." Saying this, Tsuna took off the Mammon Ring and entered Hyper mode. The Sky flame blazed and his eyes turned orange. The aura he released shook the air and threatened to crush those unprepared.

"Are you ready, Sakurazaki-san? This is my full power!" Tsuna then turned into a blur before disappearing from sight completely. Setsuna looked around her surroundings and tried to search for Tsuna but it proved to be the wrong choice of action as Tsuna suddenly appeared in front of her.

"*Gasp*"

"Too slow!"Setsuna was too startled by Tsuna's sudden appearance to defend against the flaming fist aimed at her stomach. When the fist had struck Setsuna what seemed to be a small explosion happened and she once again forced to crash into another tree.

Waiting for his student to once come out of the dust and debris, Tsuna did not expect to see Setsuna spotting wings that covered her front.

"Is this who you really are, Sakur- no, Setsuna?"

"…" Setsuna was afraid. She had lost control and her wings had came out, in front of someone she had just met yesterday no less. What would he think or what would Konoka think if she found out.

"Your wings are really pretty, you know?"

"Eh?"

"I am only saying the truth. Your wings are really beautiful. I am not one to judge someone based on how they look." Stepping forward, Tsuna reached for her wings and stroked it gently. Setsuna was blushing like crazy already but this had almost caused a moan to escape her lips. Then when he stopped, Setsuna felt a strange disappointment and yearn but decide against voicing it.

"Don't need to worry, your secret is safe with me. Don't let anyone judge you just because you are a little different. Anyone who does so will get a harsh wakeup call from me….Now shall we continue our fight? There is still time before sunset." He said, jerking his head towards the sky changing colours in the background.

"…Hai!" It had been far too long since she truly smiled but if it was for the person in front of her, her smile could not be controlled.

"Let's end this, Setsuna!"

"Hai, Sensei!"

The teacher and student once again clashed, using all their remaining strength in a single strike, causing an explosion and the other mage teachers to be worried at what might be happening.

When Setsuna finally regained consciousness she founded herself on a bed and in an unfamiliar room. When she tried to sit up, pain jolted through her body

"Oh I see you awake." Said a familiar voice.

Turn to the voice direction, she spot Tsuna sitting while doing something at his desk.

"I think it better that you don't move too much or else you're going to worsen your injuries. You are in my room by the way."

"The battle…?"

"Oh that. It ends up in a draw though you won in my opinion."

"Huh?"

"Remember what I said before, I said that if last until sunset you consider it your win, didn't I? You were able to last until sunset and then some."

"You're giving me too much credit Sawada-sensei."

"But you earn it."

"But you did not use all your strength. Did you, Sawada-sensei?"

"Ah? You found out?"

"And I also found out that you could have won without even breaking a sweat."

"Uh…" the lion is out of the bag.

"My question is why you didn't."

"…it was so that I could understand you a little bit better."

"Eh?"

"They do say 'you'll understand your opponent if you trade blows with one another', guess those words are true."

"Ano I'm still don't understand what you mean."

"Setsuna how determine are you in protecting Konoka."

"… I am willing to protect her, even if it costs me my life."

"…That's what I thought."

"…?"

"Then let me answer why I didn't use all of my strength." He took a small breath. "I want to know the full extent of your resolution."

"My…resolution?"

"That's right your resolution. In battle the most important thing is not power or skills. It's the power of your resolution. No matter how powerful or how skills are you, without resolution you are fated to fall. Resolution is the true drive that makes us stronger, the wanting to protect the thing that is precious to us."

"Resolution…" She never knew how important resolution before, but after listening her teacher it make sense.

"…Get some rest. I will get you some food."

"Ano!" she leaps to the edge of the bed and somehow manages to grasp his hand.

"Yes?"

"A-arigato… Sensei…" She said with a small blush, not knowing the cover is slowly revealing her half naked body that was covered with bandages.

*Blood spurt!*

"Kya~~!"
