Alright hey guys, before I start the chapter, I'd like to address the three comments I got:

Micknitro06: I'm glad that it brought back good memories and that you like the combination.

ayandeep85: I don't plan on abandoning it anytime soon.

Captaindrake123: Glad you liked my idea, and I'll try to improve on the things you pointed out.

Now, on with the chapter.

All things considered, the meeting had gone pretty well for Hachiman, aside from having to redo his essay and almost being punched in the gut by Ms. Hiratsuka. It could have been his imagination, but he swore he felt air pressure hit his stomach once Shizuka almost hit him. As he left Shizuka's office, he saw that Yoshiteru and Saika were waiting outside the door for him.

"Uh, what are you guys doing out here?," Hachiman asked his classmates.

After hearing Hachiman's question, Yoshiteru couldn't help smile from ear to ear, "Well, you see, I heard rumors that Ms. Hiratsuka could be quite violent with her students in her office, so I thought, if I heard you yelling, I would come inside and provide backup," Yoshiteru cleared up.

Hachiman couldn't help but raise his eyebrow in doubt, "Really, what kind of backup were you planning to give me?"

"Uh, well, you see…," Yoshiteru was at a complete loss for words, which Hachiman construed as Yoshiteru having not really any idea how he was going to provide Hachiman backup. Before Yoshiteru could embarrass himself any further, Hachiman turned his attention to Saika to see what was his reason for waiting for Hachiman.

"Um, you see, I wanted to see if you wanted to have lunch with me," Saika explained with an embarrassed look on his face.

Hachiman was about to tell Saika that he already had plans to eat lunch alone, but once he saw the shy look on Saika's face, he knew that he wasn't going to be able to say no to Saika.

"Yeah, sure, I didn't really have any plans anyways," Hachiman answered immediately, feeling a bit pathetic for not being able to refuse Saika's request.

"Great, hey Zaimokuza, you want to join us?," Saika asked, making Hachiman immediately regret accepting Saika's lunch invitation.

Yoshiteru seemed very excited by Saika's invitation before immediately composing himself and crossing his arms with a smile on his face

"Well, if you so desperately want me to accompany you two during lunch, then I guess I have no choice but to accept your request," Yoshiteru proclaimed.

"Great, come on guys, let's head to the cafeteria," Saika told his classmates, gesturing for them to follow him as he made his way to the cafeteria.

As Hachiman began to follow Saika with Yoshiteru right by his side, he tried pondering ways to get rid of Yoshiteru, but his mind was coming up blank. 'Well, as long as Zaimokuza doesn't talk about the Ninja, our time together shouldn't be too horrible,' Hachiman thought to himself. Unfortunately for Hachiman, fate was not on his side that day as Yoshiteru decided to start a conversation revolving around his idol.

"Can we talk about this Ninja situation?," Yoshiteru asked Hachiman and Saika, causing Hachiman to mentally curse at himself for being a jinx.

"What Ninja situation?," Hachiman asked, deciding to humor Yoshiteru, knowing there was no way he would be able to avoid this conversation anyways.

"It's been a whole month since Sobu High opened for the school, and he has not appeared once," Yoshiteru explained.

"I'm pretty sure the Ninja only shows up whenever monsters or robots attack the school, and seeing as neither has happened, there is no reason for the Ninja to appear," Hachiman reasoned with Yoshiteru, which only seemed to infuriate him.

"You just don't get it, if I could show the Ninja how powerful I am, I'm sure he'd make me sidekick, and I would no longer need to be trapped in the confines of school," Yoshiteru tried explaining.

"That's not realistic, there's nothing special about you, and even if there was, I'm pretty sure the Ninja likes working alone," Hachiman told Yoshiteru bluntly, causing the otaku to slump the floor.

Saika glared at Hachiman for being so blunt before walking over and crouching down next to Yoshiteru's body.

"I think what Hachiman was trying to say was that the Ninja probably has a lot of important stuff to do at the moment, and he probably doesn't have time to smoke bomb on by for a meet and greet," Saika tried to comfort and reason his depressed classmate.

Yoshiteru seemed to accept that answer as he got up off the floor and smiled at the two people he considered allies.

"Yeah, you're probably right, the Ninja definitely has more important stuff to do then to just pop on by and say hi," Yoshiteru accepted as he and his classmates continued to made their way to the cafeteria.

As they continued to walk, something that Yoshiteru and Saika said seemed to give Hachiman an idea. If Hachiman were to appear in the cafeteria as the Ninja, it might finally shut Yoshiteru up. There were ways his plan could backfire; for example, this might cause Yoshiteru to talk about the Ninja even more, or Yoshiteru might recognize Hachiman's voice and find out he's the Ninja. However, if there was even a slight chance that he could Yoshiteru up, then he would just have to be careful, accept any consequences, and take a big risk by doing this.

Meanwhile, in the center of Chiba City, there had been a large pyramid shaped building that was called McFist Industries. The company was owned by a very wealthy American man named Hannibal McFist, who recently married a Japanese woman who had a teenage boy. McFist was a stocky man with blonde hair, he is almost bald and has a mustache that looks like a set of handlebars, and has a mechanical arm with a small brain in it. He wore a brown business suit, black shoes, and a red tie. Whenever he attends to business, McFist always has his lead scientist/assistant/inventor, Willem Viceroy III. Viceroy was a tall and skinny African American, with dark brown hair with a grey streak, a beard, and grey eyes. Viceroy wore a lavender lab coat over a purple shirt, purple pants, purple glasses, and black shoes.

Currently, in one of McFist Industries large offices, McFist and Viceroy were having a conversation with a projection of someone, or rather, something through a large tube at the end of the room. The creature they were talking to was a humanoid man with green skin who was skinny and bony, with long sharp claws, uneven green teeth, and a long-forked tongue. It wore a tattered brown kimono with a hood, a belt made up mystical green orbs, and a pair of brown sandals. The projection showed the creature was chained down to something, but what he was chained to is not shown. The creature glared at McFist and Viceroy through the tube, causing McFist to gulp in fear.

"You assured me you would destroy the Ninja!," the creature yelled at McFist and Viceroy.

"But I haven't seen all Spring Break," McFist nervously told the creature. "Viceroy, have you seen him?"

Viceroy shrugged his shoulders, "I haven't seen him at all. Then again, he is a ninja, so stealth is kind of his thing," he told the creature, who glared at him in response.

"Don't worry, Sorcerer, we have a plan," McFist assured. "Once the ninja pokes his head out of whatever hole he's hiding in, BAM! He'll be destroyed!"

The creature known as the Sorcerer growled at McFist, causing him to shake a little.

"DO! NOT! FAIL! ME!," the Sorcerer told McFist and Viceroy in a threatening tone before his projection disappeared from the tube.

The businessman and scientist stood in silence, until a phone rang from McFist's desk, causing the both of them to yelp in surprise. McFist walked over to his desk and picked up his phone, only for him to hear his wife's voice on the other line.

"Hey, babe, what's up?," McFist greeted his wife in a gentle tone. His wife had told him something that seemed to upset him, but that didn't stop him from continuing to speak in a gentle tone. "I'm a little bit busy here, can't it wait?" His wife once again told him something that seemed to upset him, but he still continued to talk to her in a gentle tone. "Of course, I'll meet you there, beautiful." Once his wife hung up, he slammed his phone on its holder five times before slumping in his chair.

"Uh, having family issues, sir?," Viceroy asked his boss, already knowing the answer.

"How am I supposed to run an evil empire when my stepson keeps getting bad grades at school?!," McFist asked rhetorically.

"Kids," Viceroy scoffed.

"Viceroy, do me a favor, and go down to your lab and build me something deadly, something dangerous, something with a cupholder!," McFist demanded as he slammed his robotic arm against the desk.

Slamming his arm caused it to spaz and slam its fist against McFist's cup of coffee, causing the cup to break and the coffee to spill all over McFist's face.

"You know what, forget the cupholder. Just make it deadly."

Viceroy, who had been taking notes on his touchpad, drew a line over the word 'cupholder' on his touchpad, and circled the word 'deadly' twice.

While Saika and Yoshiteru were eating lunch, Hachiman headed to the bathroom so that he could transform into the Ninja. Once he checked that no one else was inside the bathroom, Hachiman reached into his pocket, and took out the Ninja mask.

"Man, I sure hope that I'm not making a huge mistake by doing this," he muttered to himself before putting the mask on.

Once he was suited up, the Ninja patted down his body, trying to look for something that he would need. When he reached inside his belt, the thing he was looking for had materialized in his hand: smoke bombs.

"Perfect, from what I've heard around the school, these smoke bombs can teleport me to wherever I want to be, let's hope that the rumors were true," he wished before throwing down a smoke bomb.

Once the smoke disappeared, the Ninja found himself in the middle of the cafeteria, on top of Yoshiteru and Saika's lunch table. All eyes were on him as he tried coming up with an appropriate greeting to give to everyone.

"Greeting students, 'tis I, the Ninja!," he announced.

The Ninja wanted to die on the spot; what kind of stupid greeting was that? He made a mental note to find a way to keep Yoshiteru as far away from him as possible. Despite his idiotic introduction, all of the students screamed in delight before circling the lunch table he was standing on. Out of all the students who were excited to see the Ninja, Yoshiteru was the most excited.

"Finally, yes, you're finally here!," Yoshiteru yelled in delight before turning his attention to the bathroom doors. "Hachiman, my brother in arms, hurry up in there, the Ninja showed up!"

The Ninja couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yoshiteru's excitement over him.

"Ninja, not that I mind being able to meet you, but what are you doing here?," Saika asked.

"Uh, I thought I sensed a monster in the school, but it turns out that I was wrong," the Ninja lied, cringing at how bad his fib had been. Fortunately for him, Saika seemed to believe him.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he probably should have more thought into his plan. This had been so unlike him, he usually thought things out in a thorough manner, yet right now, it felt like his body had been on autopilot. 'Damn it, Zaimokuza, had you not been so annoying about meeting the Ninja, I wouldn't have been so desperate to shut you up, and act so stupid that I didn't think my plan through,' the Ninja mentally cursed at his classmate.

"Hey Ninja, since you're here, could you do a couple of tricks for us?," one of the students asked.

'A couple of tricks, what the hell does he think I am, a damn dog?,' the Ninja thought bitterly.

"Yeah, show us what you got Ninja!," another student requested.

Soon, the whole cafeteria was chanting, "do some stunts!," which made it very clear to the Ninja that he would have to obey the crowd's commands, otherwise the Ninja's reputation would worsen. As the Ninja started limbering up so that he could do some stunts, he wondered in disgust when he became so damn submissive.

So far, McFist was having a pretty horrible morning; first, the Sorcerer had threatened him, next, he broke his favorite coffee mug, and worst of all, he was at a meeting with his wife, his stepson, and his stepson's Japanese Literature teacher to talk about his bad grades when he could have been doing literally anything else! McFist knew since the first day that he met his stepson that he was an idiot; he was way too loud, talked way too much, got excited for almost anything, and talked nonsense half the time, which to McFist, were all signs of a person being an idiot. His wife once told him that he should train her son to one day run McFist Industries so that they could bond and McFist could have an heir to his company, but he would rather give his company to his lazy, laid back brother then ever give up his company to Kakeru Tobe.

Kakeru's teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, brought out a portfolio that held all of his assignments, and to the surprise of only Kakeru's mother, most of his assignment grades had been pretty low, and only a few had passing grades.

"Look, Mr. and Mrs. McFist, I like having your son as my student. He is charming and very polite, but if Kakeru keeps getting low grades, he'll be ejected from the school."

Kakeru couldn't help but look down in shame, "I'm sorry mom and McDad. It's just that the assignments are so damn hard, and I'm having a hard time understanding what to do."

McFist wasn't really surprised by his stepson's confession, and didn't seem at all impressed by his apology, however, the same could not be said about his wife. Mrs. McFist brought her son's head into her chest before she started crying.

"Oh, my little Kakeru, I'm so sorry, I had no idea that you were struggling so much in school! From now on, Hannibal and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that you get good grades!," Mrs. McFist sobbed.

"Mom, could you let go of me and stop crying, you're embarrassing me," Kakeru told his mom, discomfort clearly in his voice.

Before the meeting could continue, a group of students passed by, running towards the lunchroom, yelling, "The Ninja's in the cafeteria!," before they disappeared from earshot. As soon as Shizuka heard what the students had shouted, her eyes lit up and she stood up for her chair, ready to head to the cafeteria.

"Let's take a break for five minutes, while I go handle some important business," Shizuka told her student and his parents as she ran out of her office, not giving anyone the chance to protest.

Kakeru imitated his teacher by shooting up from his seat and heading towards the door, "Finally, I've been waiting to meet the Ninja all month, I'm coming Ninja!," he yelled as he ran to the cafeteria.

McFist looked pleadingly at his wife, causing her to roll her eyes and smile at him.

"Oh, go on, if you don't destroy the Ninja now, then it's all you'll talk about on the ride home," Mrs. McFist permitted.

McFist shot up from his chair in happiness and excitement, "You know what, you're the best!," he exclaimed before kissing his wife and running out of the office, towards the cafeteria.

On his way to the cafeteria, McFist took out his phone and called Viceroy.

"Hello, McFist Industries, technological genius Viceroy speaking," Viceroy picked up.

"The Ninja's at the school right now, release the, uh, the monster thing," McFist instructed.

"His name is Krakenstein," Viceroy told his boss over the phone.

McFist stopped right outside the cafeteria behind a crowd of people and yelled, "Release the Krakenstein!," into his phone. His yelling caused some of the people from the crowd to look suspiciously at him, causing McFist to smile nervously at them.

Meanwhile, inside Viceroy's lab in McFist Industries, Viceroy opened up a pod that contained a bizarre looking robot that had a metal face, a chest that belonged to a gorilla, wore blue pants, and had a pair of legs that belonged to a rhinoceros. The most bizarre part of the robot had to be its arms; the robot had a giant crab arm and a robotic arm with a boxing glove on his shoulders, a gorilla and bear arm as his primary arms, and another robotic arm and an octopus arm coming from its hips. Viceroy used a taser on the robot, causing it to wake up and roar in anger.

"Go forth my Krakenstien, and destroy the Ninja!," Viceroy instructed. "He's about 5'8, has a red scarf and black suit, or maybe it's navy blue."

Before Viceroy could continue talking about the possible color combination of the Ninja's suit, Krakenstien roared before he busted through Viceroy's lab and made his way to the Ninja.

"No, I was right, it is black," Viceroy remembered. "No one should ever wear red with navy blue."

As much as he hated to admit it, the Ninja was having a little bit of fun trying out the Ninja Suit for the first time; he had been doing flips off the lunch tables and bouncing off the walls for about ten minutes. Once the Ninja landed another flip, he decided that he had been fooling around long enough, and that it was time to smoke bomb out of the cafeteria and return to his lunch as Hachiman Hikigaya. As he reached into his belt to grab another smoke bomb, he had hoped he had done enough to stop Yoshiteru from droning on and on about the Ninja.

"Well, I think I've been here long enough; have a great day everybody. Smokebo-," before the Ninja could finish speaking and throw down his smoke bomb, he felt someone grab onto his leg. The Ninja turned his attention to the person who had grabbed onto his leg, and to no surprise to him, it had been Yoshiteru who had grabbed him.

"Please, oh great and powerful Ninja, do not leave just yet!," Yoshiteru begged. "My closest comrade, Hachiman Hikigaya, is currently in the bathroom at the moment, and I do not want him to miss the chance to meet you. Could you please stay long enough for my comrade Hachiman to get out of the bathroom and meet you?"

As Yoshiteru looked at the Ninja with pleading eyes, for the first time since meeting him, the Ninja couldn't help but have a small sense of respect for Yoshiteru for being considerate to his friend.

"I'm sorry, but I am not needed right now, so I must go," the Ninja told Yoshiteru.

Suddenly, as if there had been a god that had it out for the Ninja, a robot burst through one of the walls of the cafeteria and made his way over to the Ninja. It could have been all in his head, but the Ninja could have sworn he heard someone yell, "Yes, destroy, destroy!" As the adrenaline from doing tricks started to wear off, a sudden wave of fear and anxiety had washed over him. Even though he had tested the athletic capabilities of the Ninja Suit, he hadn't had a chance to learn how to fight with the Ninja Suit, and it was at this moment that he wished he had read a few pages from the Nomicon. A part of him wanted to run out of the cafeteria and go home, but a larger part of him knew that he couldn't just run away from this, especially when he knew that if he didn't do anything, people would get hurt and it would be all his fault. The Ninja took a deep breath before doing a front flip and landing in front of the robot.

"Alright, take this!," he yelled before punching the robot across the face, causing its jaw to go out of place.

Krakenstien readjusts his jaw before glaring at the Ninja, causing the Ninja to get nervous and wish he had not done that. Using its arm with the boxing glove on it, Krakenstien punched the Ninja so hard that he sent him through a wall. Everyone who was watching the fight had cringed at how hard the Ninja had been punched. Once the Ninja had gone through the wall, he ended up crashing into a wall outside the cafeteria before his body slumped to the floor. When Krakenstein finally reached him, the Ninja performed a jump kick, causing him to hit Krakenstein's face and making it move a few steps backwards. As soon as Krakenstein recovered from the attack, it roared at the Ninja before grabbing him and punching him through a pair of doors. Through those doors were a flight of stairs that the Ninja had tumbled down, groaning as he hit each stair.

Once he reached the bottom and got off up the floor, he noticed that he was in the basement, and the only room had been a bathroom. He opened the door to the bathroom and saw there had been a pipe on the floor which he had quickly picked up once he heard Krakenstein's footsteps. Quickly, the Ninja had thought of a plan on how to incapacitate before putting the pipe between his belt, running to the last stall on the left, and going inside it before standing on the toilet and closing the door. Suddenly, Krakenstein punched the door open and started heading towards the stalls, punching each stall door open. Once Krakenstein punched the last door open, the Ninja wrapped his scarf around its torso and pulled it into the stall, and then wrapped his scarf around the door's handle so that he could close the door behind them. Next, the Ninja got the pipe out of his belt and started beating Krakenstein over his head with it over and over again until it got disoriented.

As Krakenstein tried to recover from the barrage of attacks his head had suffered, the Ninja took this opportunity to get out of the stall. Before Krakenstein could finally recover, the Ninja wrapped his scarf around Krakenstein's head, brought it closer to the door, and kept closing the door on his head, causing Krakenstein to fall backwards onto the toilet. The Ninja quickly closed the door to the stall and slid the pipe between the door handle. When Krakenstein finally recovered from being attacked, he tried breaking out of the stall, but couldn't due to the pipe.

"I'm surprised that actually worked," the Ninja admitted to himself before throwing down a smoke bomb and disappearing.

The fight had lasted the entire lunch period, so once Hachiman transformed back, he made his way to his science class. As he made his way to class, Hachiman couldn't help but beat himself up over the outcome of the fight. 'I was extremely lucky, one wrong move and I could have died,' Hachiman mentally berated himself. 'Even though I never wanted this job, like it or not, I should have read the Nomicon so that I could have been more prepared to fight.' Once Hachiman got to his class, he slumped down in his seat and was about to start taking notes, until Yoshiteru poked him.

"What do you want Zaimokuza?," Hachiman asked, not wanting to really talk.

"Hachiman, you missed it, the Ninja was in the cafeteria, and I got to talk to him. Also, a monster appeared, so the Ninja fought it, but between you and me, he fought pretty poorly," Yoshiteru told his friend.

Saika had heard what Yoshiteru had to say about the Ninja, and looked at Yoshiteru with disapproval.

"That's not a very nice thing to say Zaimokuza, I'm sure that the Ninja was trying his best to beat that monster," Saika tried reasoning with Yoshiteru.

Hachiman felt an immense sense of gratefulness towards Saika, 'Totsuka, thank you, you truly are an angel, but as much as I hate to admit it, Zaimokuza's right, I was pretty bad out there,' Hachiman thought.

"Yes, yes, he did try hard to beat the monster, but a skilled warrior such as him should have been able to take down that heinous beast easily," Yoshiteru countered.

Before Saika could say something back to Yoshiteru, Hachiman decided to give his two cents, "As much as I hate to admit this, but I have to agree with Zaimokuza. The Ninja has been around for centuries, he's had years of experience, so there's no excuse why he couldn't have beat that monster. Additionally, by not taking out the monster quickly, someone could have gotten hurt in the process."

Saika looked displeased by what Hachiman said, "You and Zaimokuza are being way too hard on the Ninja. I do admit, his fighting leaves a lot to be desired, but I could tell by the look in his eyes that he wanted to keep everyone safe more than anything, so cut him some slack, okay?! I know that next time, the Ninja is going to do a lot better!," Saika told Hachiman with a pout.

Hachiman was a little surprised at Saika's sudden intensity, but after thinking about it, he realized that Saika was right; he shouldn't keep pitying and beating himself up over what had happened, it wasn't helping him and it was only going to hurt him in the long run. Hachiman couldn't help but smile at his classmate, he'd never say it out loud, but he found Saika's confidence in him weird, yet endearing.

"Yeah, I guess you're right Totsuka. I'm sure he'll do better next time as well," Hachiman agreed, causing Saika to smile.

"I suppose that even the best warriors have bad days," Yoshiteru acknowledged.

"I'm glad that you two are seeing things my way," Saika rejoiced.

Hachiman raised his hand, gaining his science teacher's attention, "May I please use the bathroom?," he asked.

His teacher nodded her head, causing Hachiman to get up from his seat and leave the classroom. Before going to the bathroom, Hachiman made his way to his shoe locker where he had kept the Ninja Nomicon. He didn't know how long that pipe could hold Krakenstein, so he had to find something in the Nomicon to help him beat Krakenstein, and fast. An overwhelming sense of determination flowed through him as he opened his shoe locker and grabbed the Nomicon from inside.

"Alright, let's see what kind of wisdom you hold."

Alright, hey guys, Phoenix here, and I hope you enjoyed the second chapter. Originally, this chapter was going to be longer so that everyone could see the second fight between Hachiman and Krakenstein, but this is already twelve damn pages long, so that will be the next chapter. Next chapter will be called, "Believe In The Weapon." Make sure to review and give me your honest criticisms, hope you enjoyed, and until next time, later!
