So, I've set up the discussion and battle into two parts. They happen at the same time, but I'm leaving it you you readers on how you want to read this at all. Read it together, just one, whatever you guys feel like.


Hituto jumps and runs towards Suzaku with a determined look on his face. He slashes at the large android, pushing it back a bit before jumping back. Jizuri Suzaku swung its arm down again, leaving a large impact on the area. Hituro dodged the attack and ran towards the resident area, shortly followed by Naomasa and her weapon. As they moved, Shirojiro appeared on the screen with Heidi.

"I've set up a deal with some of our club members. They'll keep the area from any destruction"

"In other words, you're both free to run amok!"

The two landed a good distance away before clashing against each other rapidly.

"Now then…" Shirojiro began. "Let's discuss our reasons…"

"Fine…"

Naomasa leapt off Jizuri Suzaku and landed a good distance away.

"So let's talk…"


Discussion…


"So then…" Naomasa began. "Why exactly are you trying to save Horizon, Bertoni?"

"What do you mean?"

"It shouldn't really matter whether or not Horizon dies in your case. As far as I know, you're a pretty greedy miser, even when you're compared to most…"

"That's true…" Everyone else thought.

"Shut up…"

"Anyways, as a greedy miser, I'm pretty sure you have at least three backup plans for money, so you shouldn't really care about what happens."

"Let's talk about money for a moment. Right now, most of the nations are taking out large loans from the Far East in order to prepare themselves. That money is made through various means, such as farming, market, taxes, etc."

"So they're taking loans, who cares?"

"Actually, if the Far East is forced into a totalitarian rule, all the money will disappear and the debts will be left unpaid."

Several members of the class were dumbfounded.

"Basically," Heidi explained. "The other nations can take large amounts of money, and won't need to pay back any of it if the Far East submits."

"So what? It still doesn't explain your reasoning."

"Musashi isn't under any sort of rule at the moment, therefore lots of change is donated to the shrines by everyone everywhere, in order to gather up energy from the offerings."

He points a finger towards the screen.

"Basically, Musashi is like a giant energy warehouse! And there will be a lot of money gathered from all those offerings!"

"So you still plan to make money, even now? How stupid…"

"Oh?"

"Your plan seems foolproof, but it's all based on the idea that you manage to defeat Jizuri Suzaku in the first place. How can you be so sure that you'll win?"

There was a long pause before Shirojiro spoke up.

"Look at the battle…"


Battle…


Hituro watched as Naomasa left the field. He sighed before turning his attention to the giant android in front of him. Jizuri Suzaku began sending punches towards him, which continuously activated the barriers protecting the building and landscape. Hituro tried to run away, but Suzaku would quickly follow, leaving him little time to rest. His breathing started to become heavier, as he ran further and further away.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's feeling exhausted." Neshinbara explained. "The constant running and dodging is taking a toll on his body."

"But shouldn't he still be fine? It doesn't look like he should be tired already…"

"Unfortunately, he doesn't have as much stamina as the rest of us."

"Huh?!"

"Yeah, something happened to him in the past that weakened his body a bit. He can't exactly fight as long as most of us…"

"THEN WHY THE HELL DID THAT GREEDY MISER CHOOSE HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE?!"

The aspiring novelist grinned as he adjusted his glasses.

"Just watch…"

Hituro continued to run through the district, feeling more exhausted by the minute. He tried to open the doors to a building, but a seal was placed to prevent contact of ANY sort.

"Damnit…"

He turned towards Suzaku, who was quickly catching up to him. He spat at the ground as he grabbed a small, circular object from the belt underneath his jacket. He watched as Jizuri Suzaku grabbed a large wrench from its back, and swung it down towards him. A large impact sounded in the area as everyone watched in silence. Jizuri Suzaku raised its weapon to reveal….nothing. Most of the audience was confused by this outcome.

"Neshinabara, what the hell just happened?"

He smiled as he spoke.

"That, was his secret weapon…"

Suddenly, Jizuri Suzaku dropped on one knee as the other leg was revealed to have sustained damage. Hituro stood behind Suzaku, still breathing heavily, but standing tall.

"He calls them Chrome spheres. Basically, they're non-lethal grenades that create large concussion waves to disrupt the area, like a compressed air-bomb."

"So then…"

"Yeah, he used the explosion to send himself speeding at Suzaku's leg, making it easier to pierce through"

Hituro took out another Chrome sphere, and threw it at Suzaku's back…


Suzaku fell forward to the ground with a large thud. Naomasa stared dumbfounded before grinning and turning back to Shirojiro.

"So you managed to take down my masterpiece…"

Hituro appeared on the screen .

"If it was an enemy, It would've been destroyed by now"

Naomasa raises her hand to show her surrender.

"Round one! Class Plum-3 Wins!"

The class cheered as Naomasa and Hituro started walking back to join the rest of the class.

"So I guess I've lost this round…"

"What're you gonna do about…"

"Ah, I'll have him fixed up by the time we fight."

She gently punches him.

"But if we do this again, I'll make sure we win."

"Believe me," Hituro sighed. "I'll probably just forfeit next time…"

Masazumi began to look concerned before turning towards the rest of the group.

"Well then, I'm up next…"
