Opening song: The walking dead of Dropkick Murphy's.

A bit more action in this one. This is the begin of a good fight for next chapter.

For a difference, it's a fight between students.

After the lesson the guys went to the lunchroom, the girls were still looking to the blackboard. The lesson battle simulation had horrified the girls and Ichika. Anaton and his gang were used to it, they saw it in real life. They were grinning how the girls reacted at the lessons.

"Man, did you noticed that one of these girls almost puked at the pictures?" Izolf was quite amused. He completely forgot the threatening from Laura. The wound on his neck has healed at an amazing speed.
"Oh, you should have seen those girls siting right in front of us. They were looking away from the fighting scene?" Kashal reacted to Raton. "Yeah, it was hilarious."

"I can't believe that they aren't used to it. I mean they pilot the world's biggest weapon, but they aren't soldiers at all. More like spoiled prodigies. And sword wielding, I like a match versus Houki." Tizof was pissed how Houki looked down on the hacker. Not because he was a hacker, but because he was a swordsman. Of course, katana are the world's best sword, he couldn't deny that, but that doesn't mean that European weapons are inferior to Japanese. Thazalof walked next to his brother. "I think you need another weapon to defeat her. A spear of a bardiche. And I like to shoot Cecilia out of the air. Sniper rifles are damn fine, that's true, but an archer can be used at different ways." Tizof gave his brother a tap on the shoulder. "Man, you're better than her and we're going to prove that soon enough."

At the lunchroom, they got at the table. A good thing that the guys weren't picky. They took whatever they liked. "Man, is this a school or a five stare hotel? Unbelievable what you can eat here." Tizof smiled at the empty plates. The guys have eaten more than the most girls. The cooks were shocked at the amount of food the guys ate.. A lot of girls avoided them, but the rest of the hacker gangs were sitting at the other places. At the end of the meal, they found someone else who came at the table.

"I want to have more information about you being responsable of the hackers. I don't want that a kid just get authority over students without proving anything" Anaton sat at the end of the table and looked up to Tatenashi. She had no playfulness in her voice, it was as cold as the artic wind and the boy found it necessary to gulp when he looked at her. If his friends weren't sitting next to him, he might be terrified.

"What do you mean, Sarashiki-senpai?" He replied innocently and looked to her. "I have it about the fact you said you don't have to listen to me." He shrugged his shoulders. "That's not completely true. It means that we have to listen to you and the rest of the teachers, but your authority has no influence at us. Short said, to teachers, aye, we'll listen. To your orders, that means that the guys can decide if they accept your orders. Why that's done, well, I know that you like to mess with Ichika and his friends. I wouldn't like it when you do that with my friends. With me responsable, you can forget doing that to us. We listen to you, but not to your ridiculous orders. So leave me be and I keep the hackers in control. These guys are quite hardcore. You don't want to mess with them. If there's a problem, you come to me and we'll talk that out."

"I don't think you can do that. I hardly believe that you're one of the strongest hackers." Anaton got up, but it didn't have any effect. He was below Tatenashi bust, despite being tall for his age. "I'm not as strong as you, true, but the reason that I'm leader of the hackers here, is nothing more that I'm going to become leader of the hackers eventually. This is a good test if I can make it, being responsable for the hackers. The reason that I'm high ranked is thanks to the guys. In physical strength, aye, I'm not as good as them, but they respect me and for me that's enough. So leave."

Tatenashi look changed and proceed to punch the kid. "I don't think I take orders from kids." She found her punch in the hand of Kashal. She didn't even notice how fast he was. "If you're going after a little kid who's five years younger than you, you're lower scum than I thought, but." The sturdy guy shook his head and Izolf and Tizof stood up. "If you mess with the supportive, you get the rest of the hackers after you. That's the hacker code. A supportive is meant to heal the fighters. The fighters are meant to protect the supportive." He gritted his teeth and the two boys stood next to him.

Tatenashi looked to the two, jumped back and partly deployed Mysterious lady. She turned the metallic spear a few times around and aimed with at the hackers. Ichika and his friends walked in. Kanzashi was worried about him, he was still pale, but luckily, he didn't feel sick anymore. He blinked twice to the spear. That weapon had given him a lot of problems and the way Tatenashi wield it, is rival to Houki's swordplay.

"Sure that's the way you wanna play it?" Izolf asked when he deployed two hooks above his wrists, Kashal cracked his fists and energy flowed from it. Tizof forced energy from his hands and made a form with it. Houki was somewhat awestruck when she saw the swords. Those swords were not as large as her two katana, but they were a lot more modified. Tatenashi stood back and looked over the three. Tizof stood in the middle, most likely he was the first one to attack. He would be backed up by Kashal and Izolf would finish it.

"ENOUGH" a hard voice shouted. Everyone tensed up, including the hackers. They saw Chifuyu standing. Her gut told her that there were a lot problems in the cafeteria. "Sarashiki. Didn't I mention that you shouldn't start a fight and hackers, you were told not to activate your powers unless necessary?"

Tizof turned to Chiufyu. "We found it necessary. She attacked Anaton." Chifuyu walked to him and rammed him in the ground with her book. "I think he could handle that perfectly. If you guys wanna show off, why don't you guys have a fight? That would show enough, right? But do it after the lessons!"

Anaton helped Tizof up and he was healing the swordman. "She's right. You promised Old man you guys would behave yourself. Show off when you can show off." When the guys turned around, they saw the six girls standing next to Tatenashi. "Oh, let me guess?" Anaton was innocently playing these girls. "You wanna show off as well?"

"Yeah, you're going to eat the dirt around our feet." Cecelia responded. Thazalof smirked at her remark. "You sure? I think that we cut you down in ten minutes." Cecelia was furious at his response. "You dirty. I defeated an instructor at my entrance exam."
"Oh, wow. That's less worth than shit. Back home, we defeated every gang, except Kerlongsj and his old gang. So if you could beat him, than we're talking. Oh, but wait, you got your ass delivered by him, right?"
"What?"
"I'm talking about the time you five fought him, but lost. We've fought him a lot of times and always lost it. But in our case, he was serious." Ling decided to but in. "What do you mean by that?"
Kashal sighed. "He didn't activate a weapon, only at the end for blocking another. When we fought back home, he always made a weapon. Without, even he couldn't survive a fight. Stating that he didn't do that when you fought, means, you suck more than we."
"I will not stand for this." Cecilia was furious and set her drones at Kashal. "Kashal, you take two, I take two." Thazalof shouted. "Senus." In a flash, the bowmen took out a knife and cut the first two done. He turned the knife pivot and looked to Kashal who took the other two were down. He crushed the two with his hands.

"You think that I only rely on long range. Too bad for you that I got this knife. I'm not going to fight you here and now, but you'll get your fight soon enough."

Both he, Kashal and Cecilia got a hit. "Didn't I said that it was enough?" Chifuyu was obliviously pissed. For the hackers, that was enough to quit the case.

The girls looked to the situation. The remaining three members were standing up and they were closed in by the other two. "Fine, you'll get your match." Tatenashi declared. "Everyone, you're welcome to join this fight and you can learn a lot from it. The matches are two on two." Erzof stood in front of her. "That doesn't add up. There are eight of you and seven of us. You can't make it like that." Before the guy could even see it coming, she pushed him away. The giant flew towards Tizof and Anaton who nearly avoided getting smashed. "I'll see for that. Ichika-kun will fight as well. The teams will be the same as with the dual fight last semester. That's it for now." The girls left and Ichika just looked at the guys. Anaton shrugged his schoulders.

Ichika nodded and followed the girls. "Two on two." Izolf said. "That means the brothers are going to fight together, but what about you, Anaton?" Anaton looked to the two. "I'll just take two on. Can't be that difficult?"
"Don't say that too loud, Anaton." Raton had his phone out and looked at it. "These were the teams from last year. Tatenashi Sarashiki and Houki Shinonono. Lingyin Huang and Cecilia Alcott. Charlotte Dunois and Laura Bodewig. Ichika Orimura and Kanzashi Sarashiki. That's quite something. Four teams, backing each other up." Raton swallowed when he read the info.

"They all have a personal Infinite Stratos, with some nice details. Mysterious Lady can use nanites just like us, Akatsubaki is the worlds most advanced IS until today, Shenlong is close combat, but has some serious fire, Blue Tears is the best on long range, matching Athena in long range and outmatching in Fire power. Rafale Revive Custom II is a second generation, but it has a lot of fire power and Charlotte Dunois is the best pilot from them all. Schwarzer Regen is possible producing a shield possible stopping any attack, even a bomb. Laura got Odin's Eye, allowing to act on extreme high time."

Kashal threw his fists together. "Sounds nice, but we're not just any hackers. We're all Natures, right lads."

Raton nodded and Tizof smiled at the info. "Well, I suppose we best decide who we're going to fight. I wanna take Houki on." Thazalof walked to his brother. "No fair, I wanna shoot Cecilia out the air."
"That's not a good idea, Thaza." Raton remarked. "You're a good archer, but she's better at fire power. Sorry lad, I think it's a better idea you take her on, Erzof."

Izolf but in in. "No, I wanna take her on. Erzof, could you take care of Shenlong?"
"Eh, Izolf, I'm a long range fighter. Fighting against close range isn't a good idea?" He felt Anaton's fist softly punched at his shoulder. "Erzof, that's not completely true. You have your arms free. Your physical strength outmatches any hacker here, it matches Kerlongsj's brute strength. You can take that little girl on. But Izolf, you better take Cecilia out. She's good and you don't have a long range weapon." Izolf smirked at the remark.
"No worries, I'll give no change to fire a round. I'm getting fired up."

"We take Dunois and Bodewig then Brother." Raton asked Kashal. The guy shrugged. "Eye of Odin, sounds nice. I'm going to beat her up. For me sounds that fine."

"Wait, you're going to send one twelve year old to two personal Infinite Stratos?" Anaton suddenly realized he didn't had a chance to act in this. "Why not, don't make such a ruckus. Uchigane Nishiki is a modified Uchigane model and Ichika, he has a good machine, but you destroyed it with one punch." Anaton sighed.
"Forgetting that I don't have long range moves, no melee weapon and my only move is Hell's Punch what's a last case move. I can't do two at the time. Nanite C4 isn't going to work as well."
Erzof placed a hand on his shoulder. "Well, find out. You hold your own just fine against the six of us." Anaton sighed. "You're my friends, you don't wanna kill me. Besides, you weren't serious."
"Even so, Kerlongsj has hopes for you. You can manage. We're sure of that."

The boy sighed. "Let's get back to the class and hope we're not killed on the way." The guys left and received a few looks. The girls were disapproving, the boys hopeful.

"We got the support of the rest. Let's not disappoint them." Izolf said and with that, they got back in their classrooms.

This makes the fourth chapter. Glad I'm done with it. I still suck with fighting chapters. I hope you guys forgive me for it.

If you want to know what I meant with the fight between Kerlongsj and the five girls, it's a reference to my previous work. Crossed Path.

Adios,

Kerlongsj.
