Hey guys, Kurama here with another chapter of Gamer's Infinite Stratos and I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

"Talk!" someone says.

"MonsterTalk/thought/skills/spells/Game notifications, Quests and Rewards!" Someone says.

"Thoughts!"Someone says.

Summary: Ichika must now challenge one of his childhood friends, Rin, who believes that he forgot the promise that he made 10 years ago.

Disclaimer: I don't own Infinite Stratos. If I did, I would own 300 Lamborghinis, 10 Rolls Royce and 20 Porsches.

What, let me dream okay?!


(IS Academy: 3 weeks later)

It's been a while since my talk with Chifuyu and following that, I had to train myself in the dungeons with Byakuchiki so I could get used to it.

Well, this is better.

Houki kept trying to hit me with her fucking Bokken just because I accidentally walked in while she was changing yesterday.

It's not like I got off on it!

"Crazy ass woman. Why does every girl in this damn class have a hate boner for me? First, it's Cecilia then it's Chifuyu and now it's fucking Houki. Who's next on that shitlist of mine, Rin?" I mutter angrily while looking at the ground, bumping into someone.

"Watch where you're going, you fucking-"I shout in anger before looking at the person I bumped into.

Wait for a second, this can't be.

"Ichika!" The girl shouts as she hugs me to death while I struggle to escape her grip.

Damnit woman, let me go!

Seriously, can't I just catch a damn break without girls getting on me like a fucking dog?!

I'm going to murder someone if a girl decide to blow a fucking tantrum.

"First of all, let go of me! And second, who in the flying fucking hell are you?!"I yell at her as I push her away from me, making the girl fall on the ground.

"Wait Ichika, don't you recognize me?! It's Rin!" Rin says as she points an accusing finger at my face, making me think for a second before I realize the mistake I just committed.

"Oh, hey there. Sorry if I didn't recognize you right away. Was thinking about something." I say lazily as I try to leave so I can train but she stops me with a glare.

"Oh no, you don't get to walk away after what you just did. I challenge you to a duel!" Rin says as I let out a sigh before accepting her proposition.

Y/N?

I let out a sigh before pressing the Y button then I make it to my dorm and let myself fall asleep, ready for what tomorrow would bring.


(IS Academy: tomorrow)

Okay, now's the time to complete this damn quest because I will never do this again once it's over.

Once I'm done completing the quest, I will do my best to find a lead on Phantom Task since I haven't found anything on these bastards yet.

Still, it does feel nice to not have to worry about them.

I make my way to the arena, where Rin and Houki are currently chatting while lightning sparks from their eyes and Cecilia and a couple of are sitting nearby, watching the show with absolute glee in their eyes.

"I'm the one who's gonna fight against Ichika! After all, I am his childhood friend," Rin says confidently as Houki's anger grows more by the second.

"I don't care if you're Ichika's childhood friend! I'm the one who's gonna challenge him first!"

"Hah, you wish! You don't even have a personal IS."Rin replies arrogantly before continuing, not noticing "This won't be a battle where you win. Now, step aside and let me show you how a representative contender battles."

Good grief, women sure are a pain. Time to end this before it grows out of proportion.

"Could you two stop arguing? You're attracting unwanted attention. If you two wish to challenge me, then who am I to refuse?"I say as I activate Byakuchiki and look at the two girls with a bored look on my face.

Let's get this over with so I can go take a nap since I don't have anything else to do today.

All my classes are over and Chifuyu is busy grading essays so yeah, I'm gonna go take a nap.

"Alright! Ichika, you better listen up cause I'm only gonna say this once! If I win, then you have to marry me when the first semester ends." Rin says as I facepalm myself due to the sheer stupidity of what she just said.

She then shifts into her IS form and Houki takes an IS from the school

"Tch! As if I'm gonna let you battle him. Ichika, if I win, then you will have Kendo spars with me every single day until we graduate. Deal?" Houki demands as she grabs a yukihara from the IS's hip and goes into a fighting stance, making me sigh in annoyance due to the deal that she jut said.

"Fine. Let's get this over with." I say as I launch myself towards them before they attack me and I dodge the first couple of attacks before hit by Rin's shock cannons.

Houki joins the battle with her blade almost hitting me but thanks to the Sharingan now being active, I dodge all of the sword strikes and swing my yukihara at her chest then I punch her in the face and end my battle with her by hitting her with a powerful Getsuga Tensho, sending her into wall and knocking her out of her IS.

Good, now for Rin.

"It's over for you Ichika!"Rin shouts as she fires blasts from her shock cannons once more, forcing me to dodge by using Accelerate and hit her with a Rasengan.

She's not down for the count so I have to finish this pretty fast before Chifuyu and the other teachers show up because otherwise, I'm gonna get scolded by them and I don't want that.

I use Accelerate once again and finish my battle with Rin by first using Rasengan and then I put all of my remaining MP into this final Getsuga Tensho so I can end this once for all.

I hit her with Getsuga Tensho and that sends her crashing into a wall, knocking her out of her personal IS and making me the winner of this mock battle.

I leave before ayone else can spot me and run straight to my room.

Once that's done, I take a look at my quest.
