Chapter 12
the next day began. Nagisa and Nakamura were talking about Korosensei to oneanother at Nagisa's desk.
"so Nagisa, you're a demon huh?" she said,
"y-yeah, not sure how I feel, not only that. I learned that I also have this magical knife thing."
"really now, that sounds like fun, wanna let me try it out?" she asked
"I'm not sure about it." he said. "I was told "don't let others wield it. it could cause harm to them."
"really now? oh well, finders keepers I guess,:
the bell rung. and Korosensei, human, had rushed into the room panting heavily.
"alright class... let's... begin... homeroom." he said.
Nagisa asked, "Korosensei? are you okay? you look like you ran a marathon."
"I... woke up late. I'll be fine... now, I'd like to introduce a new student. Everyone, I'd like to introduce Hotaru." he said standing up straight.
through the door came a young girl with long, light blue hair. she looked very similar to Nagisa but she was a girl.
"h-hello everyone, I'm Hotaru, nice to meet you all." she said.
"now, Hotaru-san, would you mind sitting next to Nagisa-kun?" he asked her.
"I don't mind." she said. she walked over and sat next to Nagisa.
"so this is the boy who looks like me huh? he really does. is he really a guy? he looks so much like a girl." she thought to herself looking at him.
"is something wrong?" Nagisa asked
"nothing." she replied smiling.
(class begun and ended. nothing to report. Nagisa and Nakamura finished their homework in the same class period they were given of course.)
the bell rung and the school day was over. everyone began leaving while Korosensei was drawing something on the black board.
"what'cha writing Korosensei?" Nakamura asked
"nothing really, just drawing myself on the board." Korosensei said as he turned back into his normal form. when he finished the drawing it appeared to be a smiley face, that looked just like Korosensei's face.
Korosensei left and Nagisa went to the Occult research club room as instructed to. he arrived at the club room where Kiba and Asia were. Asia seemed to be making tea.
"so, training starts today?" Nagisa asked.
"yes, I'll be your teacher today Asia is here as a nurse more or less."
the three walked outside into a small field Kiba drew a sword. "now, draw your sacred gear."
"uh, mh." Nagisa nodded and summoned his blade. he held it in a stance that would fit a soldier during close quarters combat.
"training starts in 3... 2... 11" Kiba dashed forward pointing the blade's tip at Nagisa, Nagisa had dodged the blade and turned to strike Kiba mid dash. Kiba was able to evade via a tuck and roll.
"very nice counter Nagisa-kun, but let's see how you face this!" Kiba dashed again, this time holding two swords by his sides. to nagisa this seemed simple. he held the knife upside down, planning to clash with one blade and go under it, holding the arm wielding the sword and hold him in an arm lock. however, Kiba suddenly stopped running and 5 glowing white circles appeared in front of Nagisa. Nagisa sensed the danger and dashed at the last moment. from the circles appeared 5 swords that would have most likely skewered him.
"a fake out? I don't know how many swords he can summon at a time, I need to go on the offensive. otherwise I'll be at a disadvantage." Nagisa thought. he decided to make a run for Kiba.
utilizing his speed and senses granted to him by using his sacred gear to lunge forward at Kiba, quick enough to run past the swords before they could manifest from their circles. Nagisa's speed easily covered any distance between them at any time.
"he's so fast! I need a breather from him." Kiba thought.
Kiba thrusted his sword into the air and summoned several large 12 foot long swords sticking straight up into the air, stopping Nagisa's advancement. Kiba then drew a katana, since Katana's were meant for quick strikes, and a sword breaker, a dagger meant to ensnare and break blades. by the time Kiba drew these swords Nagisa had gotten past the wall. his knife wasn't in either of his hands and before Kiba could Parry or block Nagisa had been able to get about 50 centimeters away from Kiba. he then created a loud boom of sounds, a clap, right in front of Kiba's face. this sound caused Kiba's body to freeze.
"no way! paralysis magic? since when could he use magic?" Kiba thought powerless
Nagisa got behind Kiba holding the knife next to Kiba's neck from behind. the battle was over. However, Kiba realized something,
"he got so close, overwhelming my sword skills and easily outclassed my speed. even with my sword birth, and my combat experience, he took me down in only a few minutes. it wasn't even a battle, it was a game on the easiest setting." the battle was over.
Asia arrived on the field to tend to any and all wounds taken during the battle, however, despite being such a close quarters battle involving nothing but swords and knives. neither had a single scratch.
"neither of you are hurt! how is this? in any normal fight I'm sure someone would have at least a few cuts and scratches, even maybe a severed limb, but nothing. neither of you are hurt." Asia had explained
"but- how can that be?" Kiba had asked Asia. Surely she was using some healing magic from a distance or something.
"sorry Kiba-kun, It would be bad if I were to hurt your body, I had to hold back a but and keep myself at a distance." Nagisa said smiling and scratching the back of his head.
he held back, so much so that he even made an effort to prevent harm for not only himself but the opponent who made several moves that would have been fatal to any normal person.
"on second thought, I don't think I need to teach him anything" Kiba thought to himself..
