Punch Reunion of Wrath and Melancholy
"How did I let you talk me into this?" Asura asked.
"Come on, Asura, you got to at least try these delicious sweets!" Sophia proclaimed.
Sophia and Asura are standing at the sweet crepes cart while in the school uniform, they were on their way to school when Sophia suddenly got the idea of going to get some crepes for a little snack before they begin today's lesson in class.
"Are you sure it's okay to eat crepes before school?" Asura asked, he doesn't want to get a lecture for being late, especially getting one from Wyzen himself and that is something he doesn't want to go through.
"Oh, relax, we got plenty of time eat these on the way and we'll be finish by the time we get there." Sophia stated and the two starts walking together.
Seeing no point in arguing with the busty American senior, Asura decides to just go with the flow and eat his crepe which is a strawberry flavor with blue berries.
"Hmm, this is good!" Asura surprised that something sweet can make him feel excited.
"See, I knew you would like it!" Sophia smiled in victory.
As they walk a lone figure hiding in the shadows is spying on the two students, mostly his eyes are on Asura as his main target.
"There he is, he is so much different than his past-life yet still the same as well, time for a little test of his strength." The figure said as he steps out of the shadows revealing himself to be Yasha and disappears from the spot.
As the two Striker members enjoy their sweets together, Asura suddenly senses something strong and fast coming at toward them then he drops his crepe for his left arm to move on its own and collide with a kick that was aiming for Sophia's head from the other side.
The impact of the fist and feet caused a strong shockwave as Sophia fell on her butt from both the shockwave and the surprises that someone tried to attack her without being notice as she also drops her crepe.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Asura asked angry.
"Hmm, I see you have good instinct… just like before." Yasha said before slaps Asura with another foot and jump landing several feet away.
"I don't know what's you're deal here, but if you dare hurt Sophia then I rip your head off along with your spine!" Asura threatened with a raging tone.
"And your temper is as bad as before too, like some of the reports I read on you during your time here. To think that you're one of the Strikers who defeated the unknown type two months ago." Yasha sighed, according to his past-self's memories Asura probably has the worst temper than anyone he knows, and it looks like despite being born in a different life that temper is still there.
"Hold on, how do you know about that. I don't think I've seen you around here before and at the school." Sophia pointed out, getting a weird feeling that she seen him somewhere before.
"Well, I guess it wouldn't be wrong to know what's been going on at my former school." Yasha said, is not a totally lie as he didn't want to bring Edward's name into this.
"Former school?" Sophia confused, trying to do some serious thinking here.
"I don't give a fuck of what you're talking about, you hurt my friends and you'll suffer my wrath!" Asura declared, clenching his fists.
"Suffer your wrath, it seems you really haven't change at all… Asura." Yasha said his name out loud on purpose.
Asura became shock and confuses that this strange, idiot pretty-face somehow knew his name even though they only just met seconds ago, then he felt the strange sensation in his head that is telling him he knows this guy from somewhere before, but where?
"(Who is this guy, and why do I feel like… he and I are close?)" Asura thought asked himself.
"Well, I best be on my way, I did come here to visit my sister at the school. Maybe we'll see each other there." Yasha said with a cocky smile before leaping up and disappearing into the air.
Asura just stands there while holding on the fist that clash against that guy's kick, it was so strange the when the two connect it made him think that he felt that kind of strength before and something tells him that it involves his past-life and the weird the feeling that was telling him they are known each other before. There was also the part that this guy really, really piss him off more than usual for some reason.
"Wow, that was strange, am I right?" Sophia asked as she looks around seeing no sign of the weird guy at all.
"Yeah, strange…" Asura said, not really paying attention to her.
"Even though he does look handsome, he's very rude for making us drop our crepes, they didn't deserve to go out like that!" Sophia cried over the sweets on the ground.
Asura wasn't sure what's going on, but there is one thing cleared for when the next time he sees that guy. He's going to punch him right in the face.
(Moving Walkway)
Asura is with Sophia, Moroha, Satsuki, and Shizuno are seen wearing their gym uniformriding the moving walkway to the coliseum while talking about some things like with Moroha meeting some weird guy at a café restaurant who was one of the Head Seven of the S-Rank Strikers, Sir Edward Lampard which also explained that she and Asura also met a weird earlier though they didn't get his name.
Meanwhile, Shizuno was sort of paying attention to the conversation as her mind is else where with a gentle smile on her face.
"You seem to be in a good mood since we left the locker room." Satsuki noticed this, wondering what's going on.
"Oh, sorry, it just I'm happy that my twin brother is coming for a visit today." Shizuno revealed.
"I didn't know you have a twin brother." Moroha surprised.
"You never ask, but I guess you would be curious that he's not here in the same year as us." Shizuno said.
"Really, did he skip ahead of you?" Sophia asked.
"More than that, he actually graduated from this academy three years earlier than anyone." Shizuno revealed causing everyone even Asura shock of this news.
"No way, you got to be kidding me! It's bad enough that I have to deal with a showoff like you like, but there's another who's more annoying, sheesh!" Satsuki complained.
"Hey, don't talk that way about my brother, he went through a lot even becoming an S-Rank for me and our family! And is one of the Head Seven!" Shizuno snapped.
Asura's eyes widen upon hearing that Shizuno's twin brother is an S-Rank and one of the Head Seven Mari told him about last month, for some reason also thinking about that weird guy from earlier are connected somehow.
"Whoa, your brother must be very strong!" Sophia impressed.
"Of course, Yasha is not only the strongest in the family but also the head of our family too." Shizuno said, revealing the name of her brother.
"Ya… sha?" Asura said the name and suddenly a fragment memory suffers in his mind.
(Flashback)
"Control yourself." A man said.
The man appears to be the guy Asura met but older and stronger-looking while wearing a martial art gi and the past Asura on his knees panting from the fight with the monsters. And being knocked away by Yasha when he was about to attack the older man.
"Now that you have something to protect, why are you so full of rage?" Yasha asked as he offer his hand to Past Asura.
"Or perhaps, that is exactly why." Yasha theorized.
(Flashback End)
"Hey Asura, you okay?" Moroha asked.
"Huh?" Asura responded.
"Well, it just that we were just talking with Maya here who happens to be the Principal's younger sister." Moroha gestured at the girl.
"And she also happens to be a Savior like us who awaken early!" Satsuki added, finding that kind of feat to be impressive.
"Really, but you're not a student here?" Asura gussed.
"Yep, I don't go to classes here, but I do hang around with Mari. I'm also surprise that Yasha is coming here as well." Maya said.
"Oh, so you know him?" Asura asked.
"Yep, I met him when Mari was still new as principal, and I also know the older brother Tadanori Urushibara who is also the chairman of the schoolboard." Maya mentioned.
"From just hearing the name, I already don't like him." Asura stated.
"Don't worry, even though he's the older brother he shows high respect for Yasha than anyone." Shizuno informed, letting them know not to worry.
"Wow, I wish I had a cool younger sibling!" Sophia exclaimed, feeling a little jealous.
Asura now has another thing on his mid for when he meets Yasha again, a big question that he wants to ask him before giving him the punch in the face he promised himself.
(Coliseum)
All the students present there are sitting with the teachers, Tanakai and Wyzen.
"Today, you first and second years are gonna work together." Tanakaki announced today's lesson.
"The goal is to understand each other's strength and weaknesses, to be prepared when you mayt end up being paired up with someone you don't know on missions." Wyzen explained.
"Now, which of you second years would like to come up first to show your metal?" Wyzen asked.
"That's me, Wyzen-Sensei!" A second-year boy stands up.
"For I, Kamekichi Mannendou or Kamee, will show these rookies how we do things around here!" Kamee bragged.
"Hahaha! Well, it looks like my favorite student has his A-game on!" Wyzen laughed proudly.
"Wyzen-Sensei, please don't encourage him…" A second-year girl begged.
"You, bring it on!" Kamee pointed at Moroha.
"Me?" Moroha surprised.
"Everyone's ignoring how freaking awesome I am and kissing your butt 'cause you're some kind of superhero, so I'm gonna rake your ass over my red-hot coals!" Kamee declared.
"This guy's a totally loser, so why'd they put him in the Strikers?" Satsuki asked, Shizuno didn't know the answer as the second-year girl wonders the same thing.
"This guy is so annoying, beat the shit out of him." Asura advised to Moroha.
Meanwhile, up on the sits are Mirai, Maya, Edward, Angela, one guy with the same hair color as Shizuno meaning he's the older brother Tadanori, and then there's Yasha standing in front of Tadanori.
"It's such an honor having you here, Yasha, will you be staying longer?" Tadanori asked.
"Probably for a few days or so, I hope you haven't been causing Shizuno despair and force her into something against her will while I was away." Yasha stared at Tadanori with a death-glare which send shivers down his spine like a scared little puppy.
"N-no, no, I swear I have done nothing of the sort. I promise!" Tadanori sweated bullets and rapidly waves his hand in front of him then bows rapidly too.
Yasha can tell that he is telling the truth, but he'll have to talk to Shizuno just to be sure.
"Alright, now let the first battle begin!" Wyzen announced as the two boys ready themselves as they change into their Savior form.
"Purgatory in the netherworld. Wildfires on the ground. The flames are impartial and consume good, evil, and chaos alike! They purify all with fierce charity." Kamee chanted a Dark Art spell.
"That's a level 2!" Tanakai noticed the spell.
"Don't worry, Kamee just want to show them his mighty of how he earned his way into the Strikers team!" Wyzen reassured. "(Plus, this will also be a good time for him to learn the important lessons of humiliate.)"
"Earned his way, huh?" Asura doubted.
"Incinerate!" Kamee unleashed a big stream of fire at Moroha engulfing him.
"Yeah, all right! That should light a fire under his ass!" Kamee smirked, but he gasps upon seeing Moroha surviving the attack with magic resistance and freaking out that he didn't burn while Satsuki laughs at the poor sucker.
"You had your fun, Kamee, now it's time for to have mine." Moroha smiled as he cast the same spell Kamee just did but much stronger.
"Purgatory in the netherworld. Wildfires on the ground. The flames are impartial and consume everything. They purify all with fierce charity. Die, all, and return to dust. Let the cremation ceremony now commence." Kamee begged Moroha to spare him, but his pleasing isn't working.
"Looks like the bastard is about to have the "pain" he's been talking about." Asura smirked.
"Incinerate!" Moroha fired the larger at Kamee which unfortunately knocked him out cold in a big explosion.
Asura turns his head to see Yasha staring down at the students and thought of a way to bring him down, it's a risky gamble but this is something he has to do in order to face the one he knew from his former life.
Asura transform into his Savior form and reel back his three right arms back aiming them straight at the unexpected Shizuno.
"Asura, what are you doing?" Moroha asked.
Shizuno only had the time to turn around to see Asura throwing his fists at her and burst a large dust cloud.
"Shizuno?!" Moroha shouted.
"Do not worry, she is fine." Yasha said, being right next to him with Shizuno in his arms unharmed.
"Heh, I figure that would get you to come down here… Yasha." Asura smirked.
"You know, if you wanted me you could've just asked." Yasha said.
"Wait, they know each other?" Moroha confused.
"I think it's from their former life, like how Wyzen knew him too." Shizuno guessed right.
Asura took a longer look at Yasha knowing deep down that this guy is the reincarnation of his former friend and fellow warrior to save the world, though he hasn't gotten all the memories of his previous life, but he can tell that they had a bad history and they made up for it. He still doesn't full trust him though that doesn't mean he'll give him a chance, but if he tries anything against him, he'll punch to the next life.
"I see you're as ugly as ever." Asura mocked.
"So, is your temper." Yasha chuckled as he walks to Asura and offer his hand of friendship.
"I heard about your battle against the multi-headed Metaphysical with Moroha, seem you don't know your own strength either." Yasha commented on that event.
"I'm surprised of myself too." Asura said and accept the hand as they shake on it together.
"Oh yeah, there's one thing I wanted to make things clear with you." Asura realized something he wanted to do.
"What's that?" Yasha asked.
Immediately after the question, Asura punch Yasha right in the face with a powerful force that send him flying away all the way to the other side of the coliseum crashing into a wall as he gasps and drop on one knee.
"That's for earlier." Asura said.
Yasha got back up smiling at the white-haired boy, it's not that he couldn't dodge that attack, but he wanted him to punch him to test how strong is now like with his reaction earlier. He can tell that Asura is indeed stronger than most here, but he wants to know how strong he can push himself with a little idea in mind.
But first things first, he has to go home and prepared dinner.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Asura has finally met and reunited with Yasha in the best way they how, by attacking each other with a strong foot-slap and punch to the face after shaking in the hands of friendship. But it looks like Yasha wasn't even using his full strength when he was testing Asura and wants to see how well he can handle himself against one of the Seven Heads, with a little help from Edward too as he has his sights on Moroha as well. And hope you like seeing Tadanori being scared of Yasha, I don't like him for using his own sister like tool.
