Here it is…the finale to the first arc of the story, featuring the first real fight. I hope I do not disappoint.
So, what a first 4 months eh? First it's political tension now a possible worldwide pandemic and now a possible economic collapse. What a start to the year 2020! Stay safe everyone!
Story start!
"Aono Tsukune, you are under arrest under the suspicion of being a human infiltrator."
The classroom was deathly quiet once the blonde young man said those words, however if Tsukune was terrified, he did not show it and simply stood his ground starting the man down.
"Did you not hear me? You are under arrest. Now come over here." The blonde man said with a sneer but Tsukune still did not respond.
"Kuyou?"
"Why is he here!?"
"Aono-kun is a human!?"
Were some of the many whispers that went around the classroom as the two sides show outright hostility toward each other, but no one made the first move.
Taking this chance, Tsukune then reached out and grabbed the rosary Moka had on her. The room was filled with purple light as the silver haired beauty appeared on the scene. As if breaking out of a stupor, Kurumu spread her wings out and displays her succubus claws while Yukari readied her wand.
"Time to fi-"Moka was cut off by a small explosion at her feet, looking down, she saw a chunk of the floor tiles ripped open. Then she saw them, the attack trails coming out of Miu and her designated opponent, one of which she just barely stepped into.
Quickly reminded that this is a completely new scale of fighting, she then opted to place her feet in a position where she can quickly spring forward and attack at the first chance she gets and joined in the stare down.
That chance came when Miu feinted coming forward before suddenly pulling back, successfully luring the Kuremisago warrior into a kick, what happened next is a huge explosion that destroyed the classroom, sending the other students flying as the two master class martial artists clash at a pace far beyond imagination, both firing blows that rip out chunks of the school grounds from the sheer force.
"What happened!?" Kuyou said as he got up, still slightly dazed. Only by instinct did he put up his guard, saving him from immediate defeat from a kick by Moka that that sent him flying through the school building despite blocking it. As Moka leapt forward chasing after him Tsukune, Kurumu and Yukari began to engage the rest of the Public Safety Committee that are present.
Scene break
Gin was racing down the corridor, towards the classroom where he heard the explosion.
"I must get there!" Gin said to himself, mind moving at thousands of miles a second thinking about the possible consequences.
His thoughts were cut off by a body being thrown through the wall, passing inches away from his face and then seeing the very vampire that he was looking for chasing after the body that just went past him.
"Moka!?"
She did not pay any response and if she noticed him, she did not show it. Gin was about to go after her when he heard a voice from behind.
"Gin!"
"Haiji?"
"You son of a bitch! You are really doing this!?" Haiji said in a panic.
"Kinda late for that now!" Gin replied as the both heard many footsteps from both ends of the corridor, turning to look, they saw the many members of the Public Safety Committee coming towards them, looking very eager to start something.
"Shit, this day just started!" Haiji fumed
"Well if it's any consolation, with the amount of damage done the school would close down and we can have a holiday!" Gin said as Haiji growled, the two of them back to back ready to fight.
Scene break
"Going somewhere?"
Kenichi did not say a reply to the male kodachi user, Ito Hyougo as he simply got into his preferred stance, calming his mind and activating his Ryuusui Seikuken, one the very first special techniques taught to him by the Elder of Ryozanpaku.
"Sensei?"
"Who are those two?"
"Why are they holding knives?"
"Is this a cosplay show?"
Kenichi quickly tuned out the voices that almost distracted him from his two opponents. Knowing full well that a lapse in concentration at this level can result in instant death. Focusing himself, he searches for the openings in the attack trails formed by the two of them.
To his frustration, he could not find any. The two have clearly trained and fought together for all these years, he can see from the attack trails that both have flaws, but they cover up for each other. Any opening he found was covered by the other, any attack that makes an opening in him, regardless if connected or not will have an immediate follow up from the other.
Essentially the two are very good at quickly building up momentum while shutting down his own attempts to mount an offence.
His chance came when an explosion rang off, and by sheer instinct he shot forward towards the man, with a lead jab to the stomach. Right on cue the punch was blocked and Kenichi quickly grabbed the wrist of the other opponent, Sayama Yui who aimed her kodachi at his throat.
With a leg sweep he tripped the woman who quickly did a front-flip, covering his sight enough for her partner to aim at Kenichi's stomach. Kenichi swiped his arm to defect the stab only to realise that it was a feint and that the real attack was his kick to the head and an eye gouge from the still airborne female opponent.
In response Kenichi leaned to his left, evading the eye-gouge and rolling with the kick that he caught on his shoulder which sent him backwards and causing him to let go of the woman. Seeing their chance, they both charged with their most effective kill-strike only for Kenichi to parry them, catching their wrists and throwing them through the wall onto the school courtyard, becoming the first to inflict damage among them.
He then jumped down to engage them, but they already closed the distance. Yet again, Kenichi caught the attacks and with the increased space, he had more room to execute his jujutsu throws and locks. However, the two are also master class opponents and they were able to outmaneuver him and attempt to counter. Only for Kenichi to also evade the counter and now try to land kicks which they also evaded.
It descended into a game of cat and mouse as the three of them move left, right, forward, backward and at any possible angle to attack. Moving at speeds that generated a mini tornado.
Scene break
"Headmaster!" Nekonome, the cat teacher that is a self-proclaimed 17 year old cried out once she reached the headmaster's study.
"I know. They have started fighting."
"Are you not going to stop this!? Kuyou even got outsiders that we knew nothing about!"
"This shows that he has far more connections than we expected. Are those the newcomers of Fairy Tale?"
"What!? That organization that wants complete destruction of humans and anyone who does not agree with them!?"
"This all but confirms it, I also have sources that Fairy Tale took in some incredibly powerful humans."
"Are you just going to watch!?"
"Yes, as of now I cannot afford to intervene personally, especially now that it has escalated to such an extent. I do not know who is watching. I understand that it makes me look apathetic however the last thing I need is to expose my actual identity and allow whoever is behind Kuyou to have better preparations."
"Would they be okay?"
"We can only hope."
Scene break
Back at the destroyed classroom, Tsukune, Kurumu and Yukari are surrounded by members of the Public Safety Committee. A young woman with purple hair stepped forward from the group.
"Aono Tsukune, come with us now. Those two senseis and that vampire aren't here to save you anymore." She said with a leer.
"Really? You are about to lose your leader to Moka. Your days of picking on the students are over." Tsukune replied, angering the woman and her cronies.
"Big talk for a mere human." The woman growled.
"Wow, SOOOO original, you got that line from an anime?" Kurumu replied with a sneer, which proved to be the spark in the tinderbox as the woman's face started to shift in a grotesque manner while eight huge spider limbs burst out of her stomach.
"Yup, she is mad." Kurumu said as she watches the woman's produce arachnid mandibles out of her jawbone and her human legs morph into a large spider abdomen. Then she reflexively moved her head to the left, dodging one of the spider woman's web attacks.
"Get them!" The woman barked at her lackeys in a very raspy voice. The other students, upon hearing this charged.
"My turn!" Yukari yelled as she held up her wand. And then, instead of golden washtubs, numerous heavy objects ranging from wrecking balls to large boulders landed on their heads, knocking many of them unconscious, alive only because of their endurance as a Youkai.
The rain of objects startled the spider woman, allowing Kurumu the first strike with her claws that took off two of her spider limbs.
"Gwaaaaah!" She screamed as Tsukune charged in to finish her off, only for him to be tackled away by another member of the Public Safety Committee. Tsukune quickly used the momentum of the tackle to throw the attacker off him only to find himself surrounded by 10 of the goons.
"Attack!" One of them yelled, but Tsukune was already moving. A right cross launched away one of them before Tsukune sidestepped away from two attackers that try to restrain him. Two more charged at him as the other two were untangling themselves, fist reared back.
'Slow…Sensei is so much faster than this.' Tsukune said in his mind as he dodged the attacks before finishing one of them with a quick 1,2,3,2 combination that ended with a kick to the head, sending the goon unconscious.
While Tsukune continued to deal with the remaining attackers, Kurumu was engaging the spider woman herself. She was able to recover from Kurumu's initial attack and is now maintaining a good distance while spitting web at the succubus, trying to restrain her and so turn the tide of the fight.
'I hated the training, but I'm so glad that I joined it!' Kurumu said to herself as she used her honed reflexes to move herself just enough from the web attacks to maintain her balance while in pursuit.
"Hold still!" The woman screamed as she continues to fire her web at Kurumu, who did not comply as she continue to dodge the web.
'Okay, this is not working, I can't catch up to her who keep jumping away.' Kurumu thought as she quickly looked around, seeing a table and chair that is still upright immediately gave her an idea. Changing directions, Kurumu lured the spider woman close to the table before charging straight at her, forcing the spider woman to dart to the left…Just as Kurumu predicted as she then hooked her right foot at the table leg and flung the table, which caught the woman clean on the head, sending her crashing to the floor dazed.
"Now I got you!" Kurumu said as she quickly closed the distance and used her claws to slice off the rest of her spider legs and then kick her in the head with all her strength to knock her out.
At around the same time, Tsukune and Yukari also finished off the rest of the attackers.
"Quickly, we have to get to Moka-san! She is fighting Kuyou alone!" Tsukune said as they rushed to the area where they last saw the vampire move off to.
Scene break
It was not a fight, but simply pest control. That was the only way to describe how Gin and Haiji dealt with the goons of the Public Safety Committee, who tasted first-hand the complementary styles of the two.
Gin will first use his werewolf speed to dart around them, so that they will have to group together for better defense. This however left them a perfect target for Haiji's shockwave-producing Seiken that blow them apart, which then left them open for Gin to finish them off with his speed.
The rest who saw the carnage will often spread apart to dodge Haiji's punch, which left them open for Gin to finish them off.
This pattern repeated several times until all of them were either unconscious or too injured to continue fighting.
"Okay, sensei clearly trained you. You were never able to move like that!"
"Well, it's actually Miu-sensei that trained me. Till now I still can't land a single hit on her. But what about you? Your punches were never that sharp and powerful before. Did Kenichi-sensei train you?"
"We just sparred, heard he got that boy Aono as a formal disciple though. But now I know why you have such high hopes in getting rid of Kuyou."
"Still not too late to help out, the vampire is already fighting him, why not join in and give that fox a taste of his own medicine?"
"You read my mind Gin." Haiji said as they also head for the area where Moka and Kuyou were fighting.
Scene break
As the clashes went on, the kodachi team was starting to notice more and more the differences in skill level, both individually and combined when compared to the skill level of Shirahama Kenichi.
They started to notice that Kenichi was able to have higher success at gaining a superior angle to strike and this allowed him to land several hits on both of them while quickly evading return fire.
They also started to notice that Kenichi was successful in reading their attack patterns, resulting in him getting the better of them and catching them in-between their formations, forcing them to reset their attack and move to find another opening.
Then came their biggest realization, that even since they started to clash on the school grounds, Shirahama Kenichi was able to at least keep one arm or foot on their weapon hand at all times and use that to keep them both separated and unable to generate momentum yet within his own reach so that they are unable to retreat and regroup.
If they try to move in two different directions, Kenichi will quickly sense it and pull them back close. If they try to use any of their free limbs to attack, Kenichi will simply unbalance them, forcing to abandon their attack to regain their balance. If they were to try to pull their hand away, Kenichi will quickly exploit their lapse in concentration to land strikes, forcing them to block.
Despite this, Kenichi is also reminded that the difference in skill level is compensated by superior numbers and the threat of a weapon. They still had the advantage in mental endurance as they only need to focus on one target while Kenichi need to focus on two.
Kenichi may be able to gain superior angles more easily, but he only had at most a tiny fraction of a second to land a clean hit before he had to avoid the attacks from the other attacker, same thing applies to breaking their formation and balance.
Adding on to that, Kenichi keeping both within reach means that he is rarely in position to throw powerful attacks, so even if he were to land clean, there will not be much damage inflicted, and in the realm of master class fighters, landing a clean decisive blow is all the more important.
In conclusion, they may be in a stalemate now. But it is Kenichi who holds a distinct disadvantage in this fight, and if the fight were to drag on, he will be the one to empty his tank and lose the fight.
'Need to turn the tide!' Kenichi said in his mind as he continues to watch for any possible opening to inflict significant damage as they blitz around the school courtyard.
Not too far away was Miu, evenly matching the Kuremisago warrior. Both have clear advantages and are using them to their fullest extent. Miu, the faster and more agile of the two, weaved through the barrage of punches and kicks from him so that she can land a powerful whipping kick on him. However, her opponent was far more durable, so that even if the kick landed, he can still parry it and sustain minimal damage despite the force of the kick slicing some of the nearby trees clean through the trunk.
On the other hand, the Kuremisago warrior had the clear edge in power, a single punch from him dug a deep trench in the courtyard and can kill her in an instant. It was quickly proven when one of said punches grazed her arm, numbing her entire arm and forcing her on the defensive for half a minute. Yet it was the only punch he managed to land, even after they both released their Dou ki, he still finds her incredibly difficult to hit. She was simply never one to attack head on, rely more on her agility to apply hit and run tactics on his joints. It was Miu's plan to wear him down to begin with and so far it was carried out to near perfection.
Her greatest chance came when he threw a vicious roundhouse kick that she rolled under and swept his other leg from under him, intending to use one of her finishers. That plan went out the window when she saw the grin on his face, realizing that it was actually a trap and that a finishing technique was coming her way. Miu abandoned her Furinji Kouhou Yoku and rolled to her left, dodging the punch by a fraction of an inch.
While the punch missed, the tide has already changed in his favor, she was still on the floor while he was already on his feet and now his plan is to keep her from getting up by unleashing a steady barrage of punches and kicks, forcing Miu to dodge and parry through breakdancing and other intensive and energy draining movements simply to survive.
Now all he had to do is simply drag this long enough for Miu to get exhausted and finish her.
Of course, what the Kuremisago fighter did not count on was Kenichi, whose protective instinct of Miu only became stronger after they became family to take notice.
Knowing that his wife is in danger, Kenichi decided to force an opening instead of waiting for one, quickly moving all three of into the proper position, Kenichi threw a low kick at Yui as soon as he sent her partner off balance. Sending her into the air while he is still holding onto her weapon hand. Kenichi swung his arm with all his strength, throwing her straight at the Kuremisago fighter.
"Whoof!"
"Guh!"
Both grunted as Yui collided with her teammate, sending them both several feet away and allowing Miu to finally regain her footing. Hyougo however was not fazed, throwing a kick at Kenichi's hand to successfully free himself. By the time Kenichi let go, he already had to slide to his right to avoid a slash to the back of his neck by Yui and then quickly regroup with Miu.
"Kenichi! Switch up!" Miu said before she shot towards Hyougo and Yui, leaving Kenichi to engage the Kuremisago fighter.
"I finally get to fight you, Shirahama Kenichi!"
"Why so eager?"
"You have been a thorn on the Kuremisago's side simply for existing."
"How so?"
"You who do not have a special bloodline has risen to the top and we view it as a defiance to our teachings. Now I, Kizami Ohma finally get the chance to test this defiance for myself!" The man said gleefully as he took his stance.
Kenichi did not give a verbal response, taking some shallow breaths to calm himself, he reactivated his Ryuusei Seikuken. Their opposing ki clashed intensely as they inch closer to each other. Ohma struck first with a left kick but Kenichi evaded it by a fraction of an inch before throwing kick of his own that Ohma rolled with to set up his right hook. Kenichi again dodged by a hair's breadth and by that time they both increased their pace, throwing punches and kicks powerful enough to level buildings at speeds that a normal eye is not even able to see.
Their tactics are clear, Ohma planning to overwhelm Kenichi with a barrage of attacks to wear down his guard before finishing him off while Kenichi look for openings as he deflect the attacks. It was a stalemate until Ohma feinted a cross that Kenichi intended to deflect with his Hakkei, Kenichi fell for the feint and Ohma threw a left kick with all his might. However, Kenichi's Hakkei was essentially a more active high guard and so he was able to quickly transition his arm to catch the kick and roll with it. Using the momentum generated to land three hard jabs at Ohma.
One to the stomach to knock the air out of him.
The second to the solar plexus to further drain air out of him.
The third was aimed at the eye with the palm facing up, resulting in Kenichi's knuckles opening a gash on Ohma's left eyebrow.
"Kao Loi!"
Kenichi then grabbed Ohma behind the neck to drive his chin into his knee strike, however Ohma managed to regain his composure by then and so caught Kenichi's knee with both his palms. Ohma then shot both hands forward, intending to pierce Kenichi's stomach with his fingers. Kenichi leapt back and was caught by a right kick on the head, causing him to stumble a few feet away.
Despite landing three hits and taking one hard kick, the tide is now in Kenichi's favour. The three jabs caused Ohma to be slightly out of breath and have impaired vision, making him more susceptible to a finisher while Kenichi was still relatively fresh. This time Kenichi initiated with a feint with his lead leg, but Ohma was not fooled by it and simply threw a hard cross at Kenichi's stomach which Kenichi deflected with an improvised shoulder roll, sending Ohma off balance by his own punch and giving Kenichi the time needed to land a left elbow on his head.
The elbow did not land clean, as Ohma rolled with the attack to land his own right hook. Kenichi caught it on his shoulder and then used a left teep to create distance, before they both once again collided again, sending a shockwave that felled several nearby trees as they once again engage in an exchange at a breakneck pace.
As the two men clash, Miu was now handling the kodachi duo. Ito and Yui initiated with a flurry of slashes and stabs from multiple angles simultaneously. Miu's response was her superior agility and speed, dodging the attacks by moving in unorthodox angles and then kick or palm strike their knees and elbows to stop them in the middle of their attack, Miu was also fast enough to spot openings and land precise strikes during the two to three milliseconds that they were regaining their posture.
While Miu's attacks were not powerful, they landed right at the time when their defensive posture was at their weakest. As a result, Miu was quickly accumulating the damage inflicted to them and put them completely on the defensive.
Desperate to turn to tide, Ito allowed an opening to his side, inviting Miu to kick him there. Of course, being a very experienced martial artist, Miu did not take the bait and feinted the intended kick instead, causing Ito to stab the air where he hoped Miu's leg will be, allowing Miu to land a far more powerful kick to his head. This was also part of Ito's plan, as he caught Miu's leg, holding her in a very bad position for Yui to follow up with a stab to the stomach.
"Tssk!"
The plan went well until the last moment where Miu took advantage of the accumulated damage on Ito to break free before quickly rolling away from Yui's attack. As they both backed away, Ito and Yui was slightly out of breath, while Miu was still relatively fresh despite all that happened.
"These two…" Ito spat in frustration.
"You can talk later." Miu replied as she closed the distance in the blink of an eye and feinted a kick to Ito's knee, he fell for it but Yui was able to cut off Miu's attack by lunging at her, forcing her to block and then dart away to a safe distance before engaging each other again.
Scene break
While Kenichi and Miu are handling their respective opponents. Moka and Gin were fighting the head of the Public Safety Committee, Kuyou himself, their clash that involve supernatural powers reducing the area to charred wasteland.
Naturally, the training that Moka and Gin received, combined with their natural strength made it a rather one sided clash in their favour despite Kuyou being a four-tailed kitsune. Moka initiate with any attack to create openings for Gin who uses his speed to land powerful blows, which then opens Kuyou for Moka to land her own power shots without letting him have any breathing space.
One particular sequence of attacks consist of a kick to the side from Moka which Kuyou blocked, only for Gin to dart past him, landing dozens of punches all over Kuyou, followed up by Moka throwing another hard kick to launch the kitsune across the area. Gin then caught him in mid air and dragged his face across the ground before slamming him head first into a boulder. Before Moka can follow up with a stomp to the chest to break Kuyou's neck. The kitsune flared his flames, melting the boulder and causing Moka and Gin to back away.
When Kuyou got back on his feet, there was no expression of anger on his face, but complete calmness despite the bruises on his face, cut lip and swollen jaw.
Moka and Gin watched as Kuyou unveiled two more tails as the pressure from the kitsune raised to new levels.
Kuyou then reared his fist back, Gin sensed danger and dove at Moka right as Kuyou extended his arm in a punch, sending a huge pillar of fire that they both barely dodged. But it was enough to inflict burns on their legs.
"I must admit, the humans here as well as you two are far more formidable than I ever expected. In hindsight, Gyokuro was right in telling me to train."
Moka flinched at the mention of Gyokuro, something that Kuyou noticed.
"Come to think of it, she did tell me to kill you at the very least, Akashiya Moka."
After this Kuyou darted towards Moka with a large fireball ready, however Gin tackled him to the side.
"Heavy!?" Gin said in surprise at how Kuyou was now a lot more difficult to move around. Then quickly dodged the counter knee-strike. However the burn on Gin's leg stopped him from dodging properly and he took a hit to the shoulder, sustaining burns there too.
However Moka took advantage of the distraction to land the hardest kick she has ever thrown so far, sending Kuyou into the air.
"You ok?" Gin said while clutching his injured shoulder.
"Better condition than you."
"Wow, so feisty even now."
"Let's just go finish him."
With that, both of them took off in the direction where Kuyou went flying off to…which just happens to be in the place where Kenichi and Miu were fighting.
Miu caught a stab from Yui and threw her at Ito's feet, unbalancing him as she leapt into the air.
"Furinji Kohou Yoku!" Miu yelled as she dove into the floor with her left foot, right into Ito Hyougo's unprotected stomach, her ki giving an illusion of angel wings. Sayama Yui, seeing that her partner was defeated by the finishing attack and having significant injuries herself, quickly dragged him off to a safe distance.
"It was a good test run, we will get you next time, Furinji." She said before flickering away, taking her unconscious partner with her.
"Super short combo 25." Kenichi said once he got his opening after feinting moving forward before moving his head downward, successfully luring Ohma into throwing a side kick that Kenichi quickly side stepped to close the distance.
A left hook to the temple…
…That is followed by a spinning elbow to the neck…
…Followed by two hooks to the floating ribs…
…then grabbing the back of the neck and pulling him into a knee at the solar plexus
…next was a left uppercut to send Ohma's head up for a right hook to the jaw…
…Ignoring the fact that Ohma's jaw was broken by the punch, Kenichi then threw a left hook to Ohma's side, square at the liver, causing Ohma to double over in pain as he quickly step back, unknowingly dodging the finishing kick to the head.
"All dosh…attachs in de amoun a time it…took my brain to tell me… to step away…" Ohma said in between labored breaths, his speech slurred by his own broken jaw.
Kenichi was about to respond but was interrupted by Kuyou landing right inbetween them as well as Moka and Gin arriving.
"Moka-san!" Hearing his disciple's voice allowed Kenichi to heave a sigh of relief, now that he knew that Tsukune was safe.
"Well aren't you in bad shape?" Kuyou said to Ohma.
"No comeback? Well, not that I expected much from humans to begin with. Let's finish this." Kuyou said as he then lifted his leg into the air, causing everyone to be on their guard.
Then he slammed his foot down onto the ground, cratering the entire school courtyard. The stomp caused all others to lose their footing and stumble. Taking this chance, he shot right at Moka.
"Time for you to die, daughter of Gyokuro." Kuyou said as he hurled a huge fireball at Moka, at the same time, Kizami Ohma also lunged at the distracted Kenichi with a nukite aimed at his chest.
In that split second, many things happened.
Kenichi, who saw the attack at the last moment, allowing his left shoulder to be pierced by Ohma's fingers before executing the hardest Ti Sok at Ohma's broken jaw with his other arm. His elbow landed clean, causing a shockwave that blew away some of the debris and launching Ohma into the side of the school building, now completely unconscious.
Tsukune, who was the closest to Moka was able to reach Moka in time and push her away from the fireball, just in time for Gin to shoulder charge Tsukune away from the attack. However, he was only able to take most of the damage.
Tsukune still ended up in critical condition from the fireball
"Gin-kun!" Miu yelled as she rushed to get him to safety.
"Tsukuneee!" The rest of the girls screamed as they crowded around the injured boy.
"Weeeell, at least the human infiltrator in gone!"
"Tsukune. Get. Up" Kenichi punctuated every word. Ignoring Kuyou's gloating.
"Sensei! How could you be so-" Kurumu was about to yell at the man, but stopped when she saw his face.
He did not wear a murderous glare on his face.
He did not grit his teeth.
The only indicators of his anger at what happened were the multiple bulging veins visible on his forehead and left cheek, the fact that his eyes seem to be emitting a bright light, as well as the immense ki that he is emitting. Despite their concern for Tsukune, the girls were clearly on edge despite knowing that he has no hostility toward them.\
"No response? He usually gets back on his feet when I say that. Looks like he truly is in bad shape." Kenichi said, his ki flaring even more intensely.
"I do have a way to revive him, but he will no longer be a human." Moka said in response.
"Then do it, it will be better than losing him forever." Kenichi replied.
"Sensei watch out!" Yukari yelled as she saw Kuyou charge at him, claws reared back ready to tear through him.
Kenichi's response? A kick right at the kitsune's wrist that completely mangles his arm and send him tumbling, though he got up quickly, he was still clutching his arm in pain.
"He is in critical condition and you are still drinking his blood?" Kenichi said as he watched Moka bite into Tsukune's neck.
"Quite the opposite, I am feeding him my own blood. By doing so I can convert him into a vampire, gaining regenerative abilities as well, of course at the cost of his humanity." Moka answered, before biting into Tsukune's neck again.
"I see, though I'm sure there will be many ethical issues from this development I can at least be assured that he will live."
Kenichi then looked at Miu, who has used part of Gin's shredded uniform to bandage his wounds.
"Miu, can you get Tsukune to safety? I would like to vent a bit now."
Knowing what will soon happen, Miu nodded and then lifted Gin over her shoulder, the size difference making it a rather surreal scene.
"Girls, let's go to a safer location."
Moka nodded and picked up Tsukune, carrying him bridal style and followed Miu into the school building. Kenichi, seeing that it is now only him and Kuyou, turned to the Kitsune, who used the time to regenerate his arm.
"Anything else you want to say before feeling the worst pain of your life?"
"You only have one arm, human."
"It's enough."
Before Kuyou can even get into his stance, Kenichi was already in front of him, his fist dug deep into the kitsune's solar plexus. Both of them can hear the grotesque sound of bones snapping.
A follow up Kao Loi to the very area was inflicted by Kenichi before Kuyou can even react to his own injury. As Kuyou stumble backwards, Kenichi caught Kuyou with a kick, again at the injury, digging his toes into the wound.
"I hope this is not your limit." Kenichi said as he walks towards Kuyou, who was still reeling from the pain.
A lead straight sent Kuyou's head upward, straightening him up and opening him for yet another hook punch to the solar plexus, one so powerful that the force of it went through his back, creating a gust of wind that blew some of the small debris away.
As Kuyou continues gasping for air, clutching his wound with both arms, the student body watching snapped out of their stupor.
"Holy shit! Sensei is kicking Kuyou's ass!"
"Finally, he gets what he deserves!"
"We are finally free!"
"GO SENSEI! GET HIIIIIM!"
Kenichi did not spare the cheering students a glance, lest he get caught off guard. But continue to walk towards the still reeling Kitsune, who have clearly been tormenting the student body for too long.
"Looks like you are not welcome here."
A right roundhouse kick from Kenichi snapped Kuyou's head up, exposing his still very damaged solar plexus for a back hook kick, much to the roaring cheers of the watching student body as Kuyou finally got to his knees, doubling over in pain.
"ANOTHER ONE SENSEI!"
"GO SENSEI! GO SENSEI! GO SENSEI!"
Kuyou boiled with anger as the cheers rang in his ears, coating himself in flames. He lunged towards Kenichi with all his strength, intending to get him with a huge haymaker that Kenichi saw coming a mile away.
"That won't work."
Kenichi then proved his statement by moving his head to the left, catching Kuyou charging in, yet again in the solar plexus with another knee while dodging his sloppy punch. From his current position he then shifted back a step and released another hard right uppercut at the solar plexus, this time launching the Kitsune into the air, causing the youkai to vomit bile and blood.
And to finish the brutal combination, Kenichi bought his right leg back and threw one of the hardest kicks he ever threw in his life, his steel-like shin crashing into Kuyou's mid-section while he was still airborne. The force of this kick was so great that it buried Kenichi's left foot into the concrete and generated shockwave that can be felt by the cheering students as a sudden gale.
"AWESOME!"
"FREEDOM AT LAST!"
"EAT SHIT PSC!"
The student's cheers rang in Kuyou's ears as his body surrendered to the darkness, the pain from so many powerful blows to only one area was finally too much for him to handle. Kenichi turned to the cheering students, then to the destroyed school courtyard, then to the partially charred forest leading up to campus. One thought came to his head.
'The repairs better not be coming out of my pay here!'
Scene break
It was an impromptu day of celebration for the students which were either crowding around Kenichi and Miu hailing them as heroes, kissing their respective sweethearts and for some of the more vengeful students either continue to kick Kuyou's unconscious body or hunt down the remnants of the Public Safety Committee.
"Shirahama, Furinji, can you come with me?" The headmaster said after weaving through the students. Kenichi and Miu are now sweating buckets, thinking that the bill for the repairs are to be on them.
Nonetheless the three headed to the headmaster's office, but instead of sitting down on his chair, the headmaster bowed down before the two.
"I thank you for what you have done today."
This broke Kenichi and Miu out of their worries.
"Well, don't mention it I guess? Though I would like to know why you have done nothing about this, I highly doubt you are unaware of their antics."
"It is a combination of who Kuyou was under and my history with that person."
"That person? Come to think of it I did hear the name 'Gyokuro'." Kenichi said in response.
"Yes, she is his superior. We had some bad blood with each other."
"So you went to hiding? How does that link to your lack of action against Kuyou?"
"It is related, she amassed a lot more resources compared to me and so I have to do the same, but with humans. When she sent Kuyou to this school as a student I was worried that I would be found out, so I cannot directly intervene."
"Why did she amass all those resources for?" Miu asked afterwards.
"I'm sorry but I cannot tell you that right now."
"Did you give us the job offer in the hopes that we will take Kuyou out for you?" Kenichi asked next.
"Yes, it was the other purpose for employing you two. And I know that what I did was a very shrewd deception. If you were to resign, I will not object, in fact I will still give you the-"
"Enough, we have seen our share of underhanded tactics to be unfazed by this. While Miu and I are still upset that you decided to expose us and some of our students into such dangers, I trust that you will have your reasons for it. As for our resignation, Miu and I will have to discuss this, and we will inform you of our decision in a later date."
With that Kenichi and Miu left the office, outside was Kurumu and Yukari with looks of complete joy on their faces.
"Sensei! Tsukune is gonna make it!"
"That's good to hear, so where is he now?"
"The infirmary."
"Then let's go."
They headed to the infirmary to see Tsukune and Gin, covered in bandages and lying on two beds. Moka was sitting between the two, but Kenichi and Miu can sense that she is also significantly weakened.
"Glad to see that you are okay." Kenichi said with a relieved smile.
Moka looked at Kenichi, especially his left shoulder. "Sensei, you may want to have your shoulder bandaged."
Kenichi looked at his left shoulder and saw it bleeding profusely.
"Miu, please help…" Kenichi said sheepishly as Miu sighed while rummaging the infirmary for medical supplies. Once she found them, she goes to work on her husband's injury.
"Now that Tsukune is still alive after your method of reviving him, is there anything I can expect?" Kenichi asked.
"Yes, Tsukune is now a human turned vampire. So you can expect him to be a lot stronger from now on." Moka replied
"Weeeell lucky him…"
"However there are side effects, and I am not sure what they are. He may be able to function normally but he also risk losing control to his new nature."
"Haaaaah, I should have known that nothing is ever so convenient." Kenichi lamented with a sigh.
"Wait, Tsukune may lose control?" Kurumu asked worriedly.
"He may or may not, that depends on him." Moka replied.
"No point griping about what has already happened. We will stay here so why don't all of you get some rest? It has been a very rough day."
"Yes, sensei." The girls replied, they were about to leave when Tsukune sat up with at shout.
"MOKA-SAN!"
Moka, Kurumu and Yukari jumped in fright.
"It's over Tsukune, get some rest." Kenichi said coolly.
Kurumu and Yukari however jumped into Tsukune crying.
"Don't you want to join? Moka-chan?" Miu said as she continue to apply dressing on Kenichi's shoulder.
"I will not do something so shameless." Moka replied.
"Then why are you looking at them and pouting~?" Miu teased, causing Moka's face to turn pink.
"Be honest with yourself Moka-chan~!"
The vampire did not respond, she simply replaced her rosary on her choker, the pink haired version of her was more honest, joining the others in their little celebration.
"Tch, lucky bastard." Gin said as he looked at the bed beside him.
Scene break
There were no lessons the next day, the headmaster declared that the school will be closed for two weeks to handle the repairs. The newspaper club was the last to leave the school so that they can tidy up their clubroom, now they are in the bus back to the human world.
"Where are we going?" Tsukune said as Moka, Kurumu and Yukari clung to him.
"To our dojo, we need to tell them about what happened. Afterwards you can return to your homes." Kenichi replied.
"Ehhhh!? We can live with Tsukune-san?" Yukari said aloud.
"I get to sleep in his bed!" Kurumu said while pressing her breasts on Tsukune's cheek.
"No, me!" Moka said while clinging onto Tsukune's arm.
"What? You? So you can drink his blood?"
"I won't let you charm him either!"
"No fair! I wanna sleep with Tsukune-san too!"
The obnoxious bickering and flirting continued until they arrived at the dojo entrance.
"We're back!" Kenichi said as he finger flicked the dojo doors open.
Immediately five pairs of glowing eyes met Kenichi. Emitting so much ki that the newspaper club was frightened stiff.
"What is with you and scaring disciples?" Kenichi said flatly as Miu laughed awkwardly.
Soon afterwards everyone gathered together for Kenichi's report on the day.
"Hmm, so a member of the Kuremisago and two of Yami's weapon users joined the attack today." Hayato said after Kenichi gave his report.
"Yes, they seem to be working with this person named Gyokuro, who seems to be leading a group of her own." Kenichi replied.
"Um, she is my stepmother." Moka piped up.
"Well, this may be ugly." Sakaki said as he chug down his beer.
"What we know now is that the Kuremisago and Yami's weapon division now works with this woman named Gyokuro. So we are now dealing with a merger of two groups." Akisame continued.
"Is it possible that they are starting it again?" Miu asked.
"We do not know, but there is no use speculating now. I simply know that we will be involved in this new conflict. Now to the students…" Hayato said, the other masters once again forming glowing eyes and emitting ki, however this time, the newspaper club was more composed.
"I now extend that same choice to all of you again." Hayato said to the students.
"I would like to train under Ryozanpaku, if I will be involved in this conflict then I need to be able to handle it." Tsukune said with resolve.
"Same, I don't think what happened yesterday is the end." Gin joined in.
Moka, Kurumu and Yukari also agreed to join Ryozanpaku afterwards, although their resolve start to waver once they saw how happy the Ryozanpaku masters are at their decision.
AND DONE!
Yes I know that I may not have finished it well, but between my job and this? I admit that I lost a little patience and wanted this chapter done.
Now before you ask, Kizami Ohma is an OC. While I got his name from the MC of the Kengan manga (awesome manga btw), there is no relation. Though I am considering some spinoff chapters that crossover with that series.
See you next chapter, and also stay safe.
OMAKE
Furinji Hayato has never been so furious in his life, not even when Silkwat Jenazad kidnapped his granddaughter. His reason was one sentence from Miu.
"Grandpa, Kenichi-san proposed to me."
Hayato turned and glared at the young man that has been training in this dojo for six years and emitting the fullest extent of his hostility. However, Shirahama Kenichi, the young man in question simply stared the Invincible Superman down, not backing away.
"Yes, Furinji-shishou, I love your granddaughter and I want her to be my family." Kenichi said with full resolve knowing who he was up against.
"Woooah! Kenichi got some balls now eh?" Sakaki said in admiration
"Ken-chan, you have grown so much." Ma Kensei said while wiping his tears.
"Now his resolve will be….tested." Shigure said while hanging from a beam.
"Apapapaaaaaaa…." Apachai, was ironically cowed by the clashing waves of ki, comically hiding behind Furinji Saiga who was smiling awkwardly.
Kenichi and Hayato both readied their fists, their eyes seem to emit a blinding light. Everyone watched intently.
"HAAAAA!" Both of them roared as they threw their fists down, their forearms seem to make a few dozen hands that form the signs for rock, paper and scissors.
0.05 seconds later…
'Hooh…Shirahama Kenichi, you truly have become faster…' Hayato said while forming a scissors, then rock, then scissors while Kenichi formed a rock, then paper then scissors.
'They are even!?' Were the thoughts of the other masters and Miu.
0.15 seconds later…
'Heh, of course you will not catch up to me that quickly!' Hayato gloated as he formed scissors twice then feinted paper to form rock.
'Shoot! This old man pulled a fast one on me!' Kenichi cursed as he formed scissors, rock and scissors again.
0.35 seconds later…
'I'm catching up old man!' Kenichi said triumphantly in his head as he managed to outmaneuver Hayato with a feint of scissors, forming rock instead.
'WHAT!? This BRAAAAAAT!' Hayato roared inwardly as he was tricked to form scissors.
0.55 seconds later…
'They are even again…" The masters thought as both Kenichi and Hayato formed scissors, rock, scissors and paper, ending in a stalemate.
0.85 seconds later…
'I'm LOSING!?' Kenichi is now in panic mode as Hayato is now in full control, successfully beating Kenichi with rock, scissors, rock, paper, scissors, rock and scissors.
'Hehehe! Too bad Ken-chaaaan! You still need a few decades if you want to beat me!' Hayato gloated.
Now, 0.97 seconds later, with 0.03 seconds to go before Kenichi loses.
'I have no choice…" Kenichi said as he conjured an image in his mind, the image was the one of his utmost desire, his dream ever since he first met the girl that he now love so much, that he fought so hard for, that he almost died countless times for, and the girl that he will gladly go through all those again many times over for.
The image in question is….
Miu in a wedding gown, and him in a wedding suit…
Kissing
"NNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Kenichi grunted as he strains himself beyond his known limit.
'WHAT!? IMPOSSIBLE!' Hayato raged as he watch Kenichi's hand suddenly flicker incredibly quickly.
'THERE IS NOTHING I WILL NOT SACRIFICE FOR MIU-SAN!' Kenichi roared as he uses every fiber of his 'pink' arm muscles in tandem with the Ma style 12 training to change his hand, as he felt the muscles of his arm tearing and the veins of his arm threatening to rupture….
One second passed.
Kenichi and Hayato formed the final hand.
The speed and force of the rock paper scissors generated a strong gust that kicked up a lot of the dust in the dojo.
Everyone else opened their eyes and were in absolute shock.
Kenichi formed rock while Hayato formed scissors.
Somewhere in many different locations in the world, Kushinada Mikumo, Diego Carlo, Akira Hongo, Ma Sougetsu, Agaard Jum Sai, Alexander Gaidar, Li Tenmon, Ogata Issinsai, Sehrul Rahman and Oganosuke Yogi… all of them suddenly froze in their path, sensing the ominous change.
Back at the dojo, Hayato looked at Kenichi, who was completely drained and out of breath, his arm trembling and full of bulging veins.
"This marks my first official loss. Congratulations Shirahama Kenichi, know that if you break Miu's heart, I will break your body from head to toe." Hayato said as he returned to his seat.
It took a few seconds for Kenichi to realise that he was finally given the go ahead.
"YEEAAAAA-OWWWWW!" Kenichi celebrated by raising his arm in the air only to be interrupted by the worst muscle cramp in his life.
"Kenichi-san!" Miu ran to tend to him, but Kenichi happily embraced her with both arms, not caring about the pain.
"The brat finally became a man." Sakaki said smiling.
"Oh, Shio-chan, is that tears of joy I see?" Ma teased.
"Shut it! You have some too!"
"Ahem!"
Everyone looked at the door, but it was Sakaki who paled, for at the door were two women, both were very shapely and beautiful, one was a blonde and the other had black hair.
"Shio, here is your fiancée."
Everyone was completely flabbergasted
"Nee-chan! That was supposed to be a secret between me and Jenny!" Sakaki yelled.
"But your fiancée wanted to announce it. Congratulations, Sakaki."
"MOTHERFUCKER!"
Everyone laughed as they watch the Karate master throw a tantrum. The day ended with both men who are engaged lovingly embrace their bride to be.
"HHHHHHHHHMMMMM!"
Though the younger couple was rather nervous throughout the day.
This ends the first omake, I had a lot of fun writing it and I hope that it will brighten your day!
See you all in the next chapter!
Peace!
