Author's note: Again thanks to all of you guys for reading and reviewing! You are so awesome hehehe!

Tears of the soul: hahaha so you prefer violent Natsuki? Don't worry Natsuki is not only going to be polite and a gentleman all the time! Remember that she has some unsettled business with those raiders and with everyone that dares to approach Shizuru!

Alphawolf69well it is true that Natsuki is the boss, but she is not in total control of her empire, that is until she gets married of course!

Silverstri: You realized it! Shizuru has never been in love. So yes, Shizuru likes Natsuki but she doesn't want to believe it yet…

Uwiechan: blushes thank you very much for your comments! You really seem to like the story, about the jealousy stuff it's definitely going to happen on next chapters, but not in that way! I would give you a hint: it has something to do with Midori's "secret plan"…

Mantikora: hahaha I wanted that Nao called Natsuki in a different way, since puppy and wolfy are very used, I decided to leave it as Pooch! Glad u like it! About the tactics, of course that natsuki has their own! Just wait and see!

Rainee-chan: Midori and Nao! Heh those two are going to give Natsuki a hell of a time! Shizuru calling Natsuki by her name? eso depende de Natsuki hehehe -!

Italics are for character thoughts.

The Silly Tactics to Make You Fall In Love

Chapter 5: Silly Tactic # 1 : Becoming a Pervert.

After Kruger-san's show of affection, she just disappeared out of my sight. However I am more worried about myself, how this girl managed to make me feel in this way after meeting her just a day ago? I really do need to find more about her. But that could represent a problem, after all I do not know anybody in this country, and asking Kruger-san about herself is out of the question.

Her council, as I have been able to witness is not filled with people that she can actually trust. However, Midori-san seems to be very close to her, I need to have a word with her, maybe she can actually explain me about Kruger-san's transformation, the tournament that she accomplished for us to be engaged and the truth behind why she is the sole heir of this empire.

So many questions that I have about you Kruger-san, do I like you in a romantic way? I still do not know, I have not experienced it before, would I be able to find out if what I am feeling is only esteem or love? I just hope that when the time comes for me to take a decision I would be able to tell the difference…

Ara but I still have one month to do so, until then I just have to pretend like Kruger-san asked me, but it still worries me the fact that if I realize that I am not going to be able to love her, then I must escape, leaving everything behind. That would make me a terrible person, how can I leave Kruger-san alone to stand against her own empire rules?

I am disappointed with myself, how can I be so pathetic that I just run away from my own problems? Leaving them all to her, it is not her fault. Kruger-san I promise you that I will try to figure out my feelings for you, I will do my best.

I am currently very tired, but I will try to have sweet dreams as Kruger-san told me. Tomorrow I will start my search about everything that has to do with her; maybe I will be able to change my mind about her…

Royal bedroom headquarters

"Ha! Who has a chance with Shizuru-san huh??? MEEEEEE OF COURSE!!!" hehehe I just looked totally confident in my mirror! I should keep practicing for tomorrow!

"Okay…how should I greet her tomorrow? "Shizuru you look so gorgeous today!" or "good morning Shizuru, would you like to go for a walk?" or should I give her a kiss on the cheek again?...noooo last time that I did it, she didn't seem to like it…argg this tactic stuff is very difficult…

"A walk? That sounds wonderful Natsuki-chin, you are so kawaii"

"KYAAAAA!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE BAKA-SENSEI!!!!"

"Oi! That is not a very respectful way to talk to your Sensei daikirai Natsu-chin!"

"I don't freaking care that you don't like it! After all who is the one scaring the hell out of me, hanging in my bedroom ceiling huh???"

"Hahaha gomen Natsu-chin I thought that you would get used to me popping in your bedroom! Mou! But it is your fault too! You always leave the balcony windows open!"

"Who would get used to see your ugly face Baka-sensei? And there is a thing called DOOR and you can actually KNOCK IT, and I would GLADLY open it for you Sensei!!!"

"Natsuki-chin you are very mean! No wonder why Shizuru-hime doesn't like you at all"

"Huh…How do you know? I …Midori-sensei…please let me explain…"

"Relax Natsu-chin…Nao told me everything, after all since the council meeting I already figured out that you were lying, I was the one who told you that Shizuru-hime was coming that day. Your Okami transformation also was a hint for me, you never transform into it unless it is necessary, a fight with some unskilled thugs? You could have perfectly kicked their butt's without even transforming; you must have been in a terrible situation…"

"Midori-sensei…so you knew this since the beginning…."

"Yes… and I have to admit that you surprised me! How did you manage to say a credible lie Natsu-chin? I am really proud of ya!, you know I am more than willing to help you! After all I made a promise that I would take care of you, so I really want the best for my kawaii gakusei!!!"

"Midori-sensei….I….I…"

"I understand Natsuki-chin…you don't need to be embarrassed! Don't even try to say anything I know that you have a hard time expressing your feelings! Let us have a kawaii touching moment between Sensei-gakusei! Now come on and give to your Sensei a big bear hug!!!"

SMACK!!!

"Ittai!!! Why did you do that Natsuki-chin???"

"WHY??? YOU KNEW IT ALL THE TIME AND YOU STILL EMBARRASSED ME IN FRONT OF SHIZURU!!! NOW EVERYBODY IN THE ENTIRE EMPIRE THINKS THAT I DO "THIS" AND "THAT" WITH HER! YOU BAKA-SENSEI!"

"Natsu-chin gomen but your face looked so funny…I just couldn't help it…"

"Yeah…funny my bloody ass…now what were you saying about helping me Sensei?"

"Oh that! Well is still in progress Natsu-chin!"

"In progress??? What the hell do you mean by that Sensei?"

"It's a secret plan! I am more that sure that is going to be a huge success, but you have to wait a few more days!"

"A few days? Until my birthday party Midori-sensei?"

"Uh huh, you will see Natsuki-chin! With my plan, Shizuru-hime is going to start running directly to your arms!"

"I just hope for your own well being Sensei, that you don't do anything stupid…"

"Come on! Even you are going to love this Natsu-chin!"

"Okay…I trust you Sensei…but I am warning you! Don't do anything that makes me look like a pervert in front of her! After that council meeting, she thinks that I am one…and that is your entire FAULT so you better behave Baka-sensei…"

"Okay, okay I got it! You don't need to be so rude with me! Now go to sleep, tomorrow you need to start the "tactics" that Nao-chan told me about! So see ya tomorrow Natsuki-chin! And don't be late for your training!"

"Yeah…OI!!! USE THE BLOODY DOOR SENSEI!!!"

"hai! Good night to you too Natsu-chin!!!

That Baka…I really hope that she keeps her word and don't screw up anything! I better listen to what she is saying and get some sleep, tomorrow it will be my day!!!

Academy bedrooms

"Oi! Chie-san!!! Were are you???"

"Yes, did you need something Midori-sensei?"

"Damn!!! Don't scare me like that Chie-san!!! You just popped out of nowhere!!!"

"Hehehe, please excuse my rudeness, but as you know Midori-sensei, I am Natsuki-sama's Shadow, and so I must be this cautious!"

Shadows…the elite royal bodyguards and source of information of the Norse Wolves, Chie-san is Natsuki-chin personal Shadow, her duty is to protect and gather information for her, but as stubborn as Natsuki-chin is, she always refuses Chie-san's amazing stealthy skills…her usual excuse is "I don't need someone to protect me you bloody Baka-sensei" or " information about what? I don't give a damn about anybody in this academy", but I will use Chie-san's skills to help me keeping an eye on Natsu-chin situation…

" hahaha yes I know! For being a shadow, you must be like that, but to past unnoticed by Natsuki-chin you must be one hundred times even more cautious!"

"Yes…our majesty doesn't seem to like me watching her back! However, Midori-sensei, do you need something?

"Yes of course, I think that you are aware of Natsuki-chin's situation, after all you have been following her the entire time…"

"Yes I am well aware of the situation, however I must say that I didn't followed Natsuki-sama into the forest, and your orders were to keep an eye on her inside the empire palace, I have been following her since she returned to the palace as you commanded me sensei…"

"Don't worry about that Chie-san, you are doing an excellent job, but I must ask you to keep an eye on Natsuki-chin, maybe you could give me a written report about how is going her relationship with Shizuru-hime, because if she fails on winning her heart, we must help Natsuki-chin to get her fiancée out of harm…"

"I understand Midori-sensei, demo…if they happen to be in a "private" situation…should I report that as well?"

"Huh? Hahaha I must admit that it will be funny to see what our Natsuki-chin is doing, but I think that is not necessary! Just tell me about if they are getting along or not!"

"Hai, Midori-sensei! Tomorrow I will start with my report…if you excuse me, I have a matters to attend!"

As I see how Natsuki-chin's shadow disappears, I start remembering the promise that I made with Master Aizen, I promised that I would watch over his precious daughter. Natsuki-chin even if this marriage situation doesn't work out, I will help your fiancée to get out of this mess, after all that is what you really want. And I am not going to allow the laws of the council to punish you, even if that means that I will be the one sacrificing for both of you and your fiancée's well being…

Royal bedrooms headquarters

Well…today is the pooch great day! I just hope that last night she thought about a good "tactic", I must start waking her up, or she will sleep until the afternoon. After all, she has only one month! The time is running out!

Huh? As usually her door is locked…well I must use her balcony windows, that idiot never closes them! Academy uniforms and weapons scattered around the room…typical of that pooch to be so disorganized… I must tell her to clean her room; her fiancée is so not going to like this…

"Hey pooch wake up!"

Huh? Make out? With w-who???

Why is that stupid pooch blushing? And why she doesn't wake up! Maybe I should mention Shizuru-hime…

"Wake up!!! Don't you remember pooch? About Shizuru-hime?"

Make out…remember… Shizuru…HUH??? WHAT THE HELL!!!

"GAHHH NO I WASN'T!!!!!!"

"Huh? What's the matter with you pooch? Why are you blushing? You are such a weirdo! Come on today you start your "tactics" with Shizuru-hime! Do you idiot want to be late for class??? She is going to be there!"

"Eh…" so she was waking me up…bloody hell I am such a pervert! Hearing those things! I better start getting ready for classes before Nao starts asking me why I am blushing…

"Come on! Move that lazy ass! I will be waiting for you on the halls…"

"Yeah…I'll be there in a minute…"

It is early in the morning and Kruger-san is already screaming? Ara she must be a very energetic person! Today I must assist to the classes; maybe I can ask Midori-san about Kruger-san past later. However, this uniform…these clothes are very different from the kimonos I am used to wear…the skirts are very short and everything is very tight. How do the girls manage to wear such things in this kind of weather? I wonder if Kruger-san looks good on them…

I decided to take my breakfast so I direct myself towards the dinning hall; I wonder if in this country they drink tea? Maybe I should ask Kruger-san about it, I think if they don't have it, Kruger-san could tell them to get some for me…

The dinning hall table is already filled with the students of the academy, and I can notice the looks that all of them are giving me, it is not uncomfortable for me anymore, I am used to this kind of looks, after all back in Zipang, everybody used to do the same thing. They are all but a fake…I wish that Kruger-san was here already, she is the only one in here that I actually feel comfortable with.

Ara it seems that my wish came true, as I see Kruger-san entering by the front door, wearing the academy uniform! How cute she looks on it, should I tease her about it? I really like how her cheeks flare up from any of my teasing comments.

"It seems that Kruger-san is very energetic in the mornings…"

"Sh-Shi-zuru-san… did I wake you up? I.. I am really sorry…." Way to go Natsuki…her first morning here and you just had to wake her up…

"Ara Kruger-san didn't wake me up… I just couldn't sleep with that sweet kiss that she gave me…ureshii" and to add more effect I just have to look away while blushing…

"SHI-SHIZURU-SAN!!!..." I can believe that she actually said such a thing…damn my face is burning…

"Kruger-san is so kawaii when she blushes like that! Should we go and grab some breakfast?"

Today is my first day trying to use my "tactics" but Shizuru is teasing me merciless already! Kami! How I am supposed to deal with her teasing and my embarrassment? you must focus Natsuki! If don't actually look at her long slim legs and that awesome cleavage everything would be ok...HELL!!! I HAVENT NOTICED HOW SHE LOOKS LIKE WITH THAT UNIFORM!!!! All of the academy perverts are now thinking of how nice her butt looks and her awesome cleavage, and thos- why I am having these thoughts???? NOOO I am equally perverted!!!

"Kruger-san?"

"Huh??...oh yes…let's have some breastfast…I mean BREAKFAST..ha ha he…." Shit shit shit…please don't say anything about that Shizuru…

"Ara…why is Kruger-san so flustered? Perhaps she is very hungry, shall we go then and get some breastfast?" Kruger-san…were you looking at me?

"Y-yes of c-course…" I'm such an idiot!!!! Stupid stupid Natsuki! Of course, that she noticed! Now she really thinks that I am a huge pervert…

I took a seat and started grabbing my mayo filled toast, damn at least my breakfast is good…today is like I got up on the wrong side of my bed, first my eternal embarrassment for staring at Shizuru's cleavage and second the bunch of perverted thoughts that I am currently having…. Ha! But the day is not over yet! So after this breakfast I am sure that everything will go smoothly! I just have to remember everything that I practiced on the mirror last night!

"Kruger-san, I was wondering if…"

"Huh? Yes Shizuru-san?" is she going to ask me to go for a walk?

"In the Nordic empire…do you actually drink tea?"

"Oh… uh well we don't usually drink it, but we do have some…do you actually want to drink some Shizuru-san?" yeah…like, she was going to ask such a thing… no after staring at her…

"If it is not a bother Kruger-san…I would actually like some"

"Ok….I would go and get it…please just wait a minute"

Palace main Kitchen

"Aoi! Could you please make some tea?"

"Natsuki-sama? Did I hear correctly? You asked me for some tea? I just thought that you were looking for more mayonnaise…"

"Aoi of course that it is not for Natsuki-sama, it is for Shizuru-hime!"

"So you are here Chie-san? I hope that you are not watching over me or something…"

"Hahaha! Of course that I am not your highness! As your shadow I must follow your orders, and you were very specific when you told me to not follow you Natsuki-sama"

"Eh? Well that's true…uh Aoi did you finished brewing the tea?"

"Just a minute Natsuki-sama"

Having a shadow is scary like hell; they just pop out of nowhere, and have stealthy methods to gather information. They are even specialized in silent killing. I just remembered that in the tournament one of my trials was to defeat two of these units; they gave me a lot of trouble since they are incredibly fast and silent.

I am glad that I am in the good side of Chie-san, the leader of them. She is my shadow, she is supposed to watch over me, of course I totally refused it…I am a warrior not some weakling that needs protection. Stealth abilities and spying…I don't need such a thing…Hey! I could actually use her abilities to watch over Shizuru while I am training! In that way she could keep the perverts away!

"Your highness is something troubling you?"

"Eh…no…why do you ask Chie-san?"

"Well Natsuki-sama you have been frowning and mumbling for the past minutes, is there something I can do to help you?"

"Eh…actually…I was…"

"Yes your highness?"

"I… have training in a few hours…so I was wondering…Chie-san…if I ask you to do this.. Does that means that I am possessive or something?"

"Huh? Possessive? Well it depends on what do you want me to do Natsuki-sama…"

"I… I wouldlikeyoutowatchovershizuru…" damn it! I sounded like an idiot…

"Oh! You want me to take care of Shizuru-hime? Ha! Your majesty that doesn't mean that you are possessive! Don't worry I would watch over her! however…you must specify what exactly do I have to do…" thanks to Kami that I am trained to have keen listening abilities! Natsuki-sama is so shy…writing this report for Midori-sensei is going to be so much fun!

"Well…don't let any creep to get close to her…and if she is in her bedroom or something, don't you dare to spy her! Ch-chie-san th-that's an order!..."

"I understand your majesty…the first thing that you requested doesn't mean that you are possessive…but the second one, well…" hahaha Natsuki-sama if you knew that I have orders to watch over both of you…but yes you are very possessive…should I write this in my report?

"S-shut up Chie-san! Aoi is the tea ready?"

"Yes you can take it now Natsuki-sama…" poor Natsuki-sama…if she knew that Chie has already orders to watch over both of them…

Dinning hall

Ara why is Kruger-san taking so much time? could it be that she was lying about the tea? I am getting tired of answering politely the many questions from the crowd that is gathered around me…

Huh? Why all of those idiots are surrounding Shizuru? Damn! Why don't they leave her alone…I would try to remember every single face…because today "training" in my vocabulary means "payback"…

"Shizuru-san, here is your tea, I didn't know of what kind do you actually drink, so I just asked Aoi to do some green tea, is that ok?"

"Ara it is perfect, ookini Natsuki-san"

"You are welcome Shizuru-san! Hey, what are all of you doing around Shizuru-san? Where you looking for me guys? Then all of you must be so eager to start training! Because today I will beat the hell out of every single one that is standing here, so we are going to have so much FUN, right guys?"

Chie-san shadow report:

writingAs expected, I immediately started following Natsuki-sama since she left the kitchen. I use my special technique to blend myself with the environment. I am currently above both of them hanging from the ceiling, our majesty gives Shizuru-hime her cup of tea while grinning like an idiot, and then I felt like the temperature has lowered a few degrees since she scared the hell out of the boys that were hitting on Shizuru-hime.

"Y-yes of course Kruger-sama…"

"Hey…we better get out of here before Kruger-sama kill us during training…"

"You are right….if you excuse us Kruger-sama…eh we have things to do…"

"I'll be waiting for you guys! So don't be late!" no one approaches Shizuru, without my permission! Those idiots are so going to have a training of hell…

"Kruger-san is so mean with her classmates!"

"B-but Shi-zuru-san they were bothering you so I was just…"

"Ara? So Natsuki-san was concerned about me? She is so sweet! I must thank her for defending me!"

"Shi-shizuru-san…W-ait…" did she just call me again Natsuki? Yes!!!! She is not afraid of me anymore!!!

"Wait? Ara so Natsuki-san does not want her reward? daikirai! And I just wanted to return Natsuki-san the sweet kiss that she gave me…" Ara she is blushing again! Natsuki…It is payback time! You surprised me with that kiss, now is my turn!

This could be my imagination but Shizuru-hime seems to be quite pleased with our majesty defending her. My point of view between their current relationships is the following: Shizuru-hime likes our majesty but she is not aware of it. On the other hand is quite obvious that Natsuki-sama is hopeless in love with her, but it is too stupid to actually try to get the upper hand of the situation. It seems that Shizuru-hime wants to give a kiss to our majesty, but is currently teasing her about it. Until I wait for the so called kiss to actually happen I will start eating the cookie that Aoi gave me...chewing

"NOOO Sh-shizuru-san of course that I wa-" did I sounded so eager? Oh no! she is getting closer! Shit shit is she really going to do that?

Ara Natsuki-san looks so stiff; this is an excellent opportunity, so here it goes. Hmm why I did not noticed before about how nice she smells? Her cheeks are so red I wonder if I give her a kiss there is going to burn my lips? Well let's see if I can make her cheeks even more redder! I would make my kiss as loud as I can. muaxxxxxxxxxxxx

"…………………" can't th-think…

"I am going to get late for my class Natsuki-san, so…ara? I guess that we will see each other later!" I think that it was too much for Natsuki-san…

choking ahrgg I wasn't expecting that Shizuru-hime was such a teaser! Our majesty is currently stiffly standing in the middle of the dinning room, red as a ripe tomato and unable to move. She is so lost in her own thoughts that she even didn't noticed the bunch of cookie crumbles that are actually on her hair…I must stop eating while doing my job…it could be dangerous. Shizuru-hime is already out of the dinning room, but wait a second, that is Nao-san and her fan girls this could be fun…

"Wow! Of that is what I was talking about Natsuki you dog you! Way to go! I don't know what "tactic" did you actually used but I really want to know about it!"

"………….." Shizuru…kissed my check…I can't think…

"Nao-chan what is wrong with Kruger-sama?"

"Would you like a massage Nao-chan?"

"Nao-chan are you hungry? Would you like me to feed you?"

"Uh? I'm not hungry anymore but thanks for asking babe, could we please meet during lunch my cool beauties? I think that I want to discuss something with Kruger-sama first"

"hai! We will meet at lunch Nao-chan" giggles

"Now that they are gone…you can tell me the details pooch!"

"…………" she really kissed my cheek…

"Oi! You idiot stop touching your bloody cheek and wake up already!"

SMACK!

"arggg!!! What was that?

"To wake you up! You are standing there like an idiot…"

"HUH??? YOU JUST INTERRUPTED MY DAYDREAMING FOR NOTHING? RUN FOR YOUR LIFE SPIDER!!!!"

"kyaaaa stop chasing me you psycho!"

As expected Nao-san pissed off our majesty, now they are heading for the academy southern halls, Natsuki-sama should be careful, last night snowfall left many puddles in there, if both of them keep running like that someone is going to end slipping on the wet floor…

"It's your own fault! You shouldn't have kicked me you sucker!"

"It was absolutely necessary pooch! You weren't listening to me! So what did you do to her? Did you dog grabbed her smoking hot ass or did you actually grabbed something else?"

"Shut up!!! You pervert! I didn't do anything like that! keep running spider! If I catch you I am so going to kick your ugly ass!"

"Like I would allow you to catch me pooch!"

"Just you wait and s- KYAAAAA"

Natsuki-sama as I predicted slipped on the wet floor, oh no! This doesn't look good! Shizuru-hime is just a few centimeters of our majesty! And she is still slipping on the wet floor…she is getting too close of Shizuru-hime's legs…

Damn!!!! I can't stop! is this bloody wet floor fault! I would end up bumping into someone…is that Shizuru-san? Oh, noooooo I am going directly to her legs! Shit shit shit I am so screwed up!

I must write every exact detail of this! I swiftly move behind a column to get a better view of what is about to happen! Everything is like in slow motion, Natsuki-sama bumped into Shizuru-hime, but she actually didn't make her fall, because her head is the only thing that is currently between Shizuru-hime's legs! OH NO I DON'T WANT TO SEE WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN! Who I'm I kidding? I wouldn't miss this golden opportunity for anything in this world! Natsuki-sama please don't look up! You are going to screw up everything!

Huh? I felt like I just bumped into something…damn it! I feel so dizzy, by the way where am I? Huh maybe If I actually opened my eyes…okay…Huh? Pink underwear?? Oh, I am just under some pink underwear… well it could be worst, after all Shizuru wasn't…SHIZURU??? SHE WAS JUST IN FRONT OF ME…S…S-SO THIS PINK UNDERWEAR OH NOOOOOO!

"scream NATSUKI-SAN ECCHI!!!!!!!!" SLAP!

"Ittai!...NOOOOO Shizuru-san please wait!! It was an accident!"

Midori-sensei…I think that Natsuki-sama's chance with Shizuru-hime had been reduced to zero…also our majesty blushed face and her evident nosebleed just made the things worse, after slapping her Shizuru-hime disappeared running trough the halls, what are we going to do to help Natsuki-sama? I better return to the headquarters it seems that Shizuru-hime and Natsuki-sama are not going to talk to each other for a while…

"Hahahahahahahaha look at what actually happened to you pooch! Today it must be your lucky day! What do you actually saw down there Natsuki? Or should I say "Hungry Wolf" it must have been totally awesome to make you have a nosebleed! Sooo tell me, what did you see huh?"

"P-pink….Un-derwear…."

"Just….bloody pink underwear? And you are having a nosebleed for that?, damn it pooch you are such a prune…"

"Shut up!!! This was your entire fault!!! So you now have to help me to get out of this mess Nao!!!"

"sheesh calm down pooch! I already hear you! I would help you so stop yelling! Here wipe that blood out of your nose! And grab some snow and put it there! Shizuru-hime must have been very furious to print her hand on your cheek…"

"Damn…you are right…she looks so fragile…but she is actually stronger than the bunch of idiots of our class"

"Class? Damn it ! Today we have training with Midori-sensei! We better hurry up pooch! I don't want her chasing me the entire afternoon for ditching her class! I have some hotties to attend you know…"

"What? CLASSES AND HOTTIES MY BLOODY ASS! Didn't you hear what I just said? You screwed up everything now you must help me fix it!" damn…I feel my blood boiling again…I must calm down or I would end up transforming myself…

"H-hey…calm down pooch…lets go a get some training, maybe you can actually release some anger…after that we will make a plan to apologize to Shizuru-hime ok?" bloody fucking hell…pooch you are incredibly frightening when you get really pissed…

"Training? Yeah that sounds like fun! After all some idiots owe me a fight after what happened on the dinning hall…" damn I'm really pissed…how could I screw up everything with Shizuru…I guess those idiots are going to pay…

Training grounds

"Okay! For today's training, we are going to start warming up a little! 10 laps around the palace and 200 push-ups. When you have finished, we will start with today's special technique: fast hand-to-hand fighting. So start moving guys!

"Just 10 laps…boring as hell…"

"Natsuki-chin I heard you! Stop complaining and start running!"

"Hai! Midori-Sensei!" that baka-sensei…I better finish this quickly! Then I can kick some butt's with that hand-to-hand combat!

Several minutes later…

"pant heh…Mi-midori-sensei…we finished…uhg"

"We are tired Sensei…I don't think I can keep it up…"

"Urusai!!! Yuuchi-san! Masashi-kun! It was about time for you two to finish! Everybody finished a long time ago! Now stop whining and let us start with the REAL training…"

"Oi…Midori-sensei, can I lead today's training?" hehehe time to have some fun…

"Of course that you can Natsuki-chin! Consider it your reward for finishing first!"

"Arigato! Midori-sensei!" okay…who I should finish off first?

"Well…Natsuki-chin is going to take care of the training, so I'll be right back!"

"Midori-sensei!!! Please don't go!!!" oh no we are so screwed up…

"Oh man Kruger-sama is soo going to kick your ass yuuichi-kun for hitting on her girl!"

"Shut up Masashi! She actually doesn't remember that I was there…"

"Ahem…so who is first? Ryo-san where you on the dinning hall this morning?"

"N-no Kruger-sama I wasn't…" damn I was in the back; she couldn't have noticed me right?

"Are you sure about that? Well… what about you Yuuchi-san?"

"Kruger-sama of course that I wasn't, I didn't take my breakfast today…" Kami I hope that she doesn't remember me…I'm too young to die!

"Okay…Masashi-kun! You are the first!" well I know that he wasn't there but someone actually has to be my punch bag…

"B-but Kruger-sama I wasn't there!" oh nooo! I really wasn't in that dinning hall!

"Hey pooch! Kick everyone's ass! You can't only allow masashi-kun to have fun! I bet that yuuchi-san and ryo-san are dying to have a fight too!"

"Oh? I guess that you are right! How thoughtful of you Nao! Don't worry guys now all of you are going to have very nice training!"

"But K-Kruger-sama I…"

"You what loser? Didn't have your breakfast today? How does a piece of cold ground sounds to you huh?"

Using my left arm I grabbed this idiot by the neck shoving him against the wall, this coward is trying to kick me while holding my arms, bad move. I just need to teach him how to have a clean fight. Since he is holding both of my arms, I must use my head. I bring him up close to me and I knocked him off with a head butt. His nose is broken already. What a weakling! However, I must keep the promise of letting him have his breakfast. I throw him into ground and with my foot, I smash his head against the snow.

"It seems that you are now enjoying your breakfast! Next time yuuichi-san try to get it somewhere else or I would be in the need of helping you with it again, did I make myself clear?"

"Y-yes Kru-ger-sama ugh…"
