Chapter 16
Honnoji Academy, Election Day
The second round between Ryuko Matoi and Houka Inumuta was about to begin. After the intense battle with Ira Gamagori, Ryuko discovered a new function in her kamui. Thus allowing the delinquent girl to defeat Gamagori's nigh invincible Goku Uniform and moving onto the next round. Now, the ultimates and Mako were on the ground and watching with anticipation.
"I'm so worried about Ryuko that I can't stop eating!" Mako said as she picked up two shish kabobs and started rapidly eating.
"I see you can handle stress very well." Kazuichi said sarcastically.
"My best friend's life is on the line but I have to be strong!" Mako said as she ate faster.
Then at that moment, Hinata landed on the ground followed by an improvised yet perfect stunt roll. As he landed, Hinata witnessed Chiaki and Mikan raising signs with the number 10 written down. After that, Mikan quickly scanned over Hinata's body to check for injury.
"You didn't break anything, did you?" Mikan asked as her inner healer came out.
"I'm fine, just some dirt on my clothes." Hinata answered as Mikan nodded.
Chiaki then approached her boyfriend, "You took a little while." she said.
"I think Ryuko overdid it with her final attack. There was a dust cloud in the way when I brought her some food." Hinata answered, leaving out the part where his alter ego briefly appeared.
Chiaki accepted that answer, "Okay, let's take our seats then." she said.
"Hey guys, there's plenty of seats next to me!" Mako said.
The couple smiled as they chose to sit next to Mako. Luckily for them, Mako was sitting at the very edge of the bench she sat on as to let the couple sit next to each other. Chiaki took her seat first, followed by Hinata but Gamagori interrupted the moment. Doing so by sitting down in the middle and making it worse by wearing nothing except for a towel.
"Excuse me, I was going to sit there." Hinata said, trying to be civil.
"There's plenty of room. Just sit next to me." Gamagori said making Hinata sigh.
Chiaki looked sadly at her boyfriend, although her view was obscured. She really didn't want to see the giant sentient mass of muscle that is Ira Gamagori. Seriously, if he was any bigger, he would cause an eclipse just by standing up.
Hinata sighed at Gamagori's stubborn attitude and it didn't help that the man was half naked. He probably thinks wearing clothing would cover up the dishonor he feels that he gave to Satsuki. Hinata almost wished that Izuru Kamukura let Gamagori finish himself off. Then again, knowing Satsuki, she would have stopped the act and told Gamagori to pick himself up and wait for another chance to restore his own honor.
"Hey, puts some damn clothes on you pervert! You're in the leader of the Disciplinary committee for crying out loud! Isn't this a violation of that rule!?" Kazuichi angrily asked as he didn't like seeing half naked men.
"Indeed, that is a violation but my failure is a greater punishment! I dare not dress myself as it would only deny my shame!" Gamagori replied.
"You are so dramatic." Kazuichi muttered.
"I think I lost my appetite." Teruteru said in the distance.
At that moment, Sato suddenly appeared and placed a potted tree in front of Gamagori. It did very little to cover him, but it did obscure at least 15% of his body.
"Is this good Mahiru?" Sato asked.
"It's good enough." Mahiru said as she had her camera up as she didn't want any photos of Gamagori's body.
"My vision may be somewhat blocked, but I can still see that victory is still in Lady Satsuki's favor." Gamagori said proudly. "No one can defeat the Four Divas!" he exclaimed.
Mako snickered at his statement, "If that's true, how did you lose?" she asked.
"Mako has a point, you're pretty powerful and Sanageyama already fought Ryuko twice. One of which was a loss." Hinata pointed out.
Sanageyama improved and made things drastically difficult for Ryuko. However, with Senketsu's reveal of a new ability and Ryuko defeating Gamagori. There is no impossibility that Ryuko can defeat everyone before reaching Satsuki. Gamagori responded to Hinata and Mako's words by looking up at the arena.
"Crush Matoi Inumuta!" Gamagori commanded.
"Win Ryuko! You can do it!" Mako yelled over Gamagori.
With Ryuko
Inumuta sighed as he ignored Gamagori and Mako screaming over each other. He then focused on Ryuko as he scanned her vitals with a device he had on hand.
"Your heart rate is increasing. Don't tell me that Gamagori pushed you to your limit already. That would greatly disappoint my research." Inumuta said, angering Ryuko.
Ryuko was about to say something snarky when she suddenly got a text messsage from Hinata. She quickly scanned over it and read the contents before Satsuki or someone else tells her to put her phone away or something.
Hajime (little brother): Ryuko, try saying this. An intellectual (nerd) should be annoyed by this trash talk.
And Ryuko managed to memorize a portion of the insult that Hinata typed up for Ryuko to say.
"Are you stalling for time or perhaps you are trying to find a "cheat" of some sort?" Inumuta asked as he tried hacking into Ryuko's phone.
Ryuko smirked, "Nah, just remembering how much of a waste of time this is. In fact, I think I could write a 10 page thesis on why your knowledge and data collection is inefficient and merely a delusion of your victory. It cannot be forgiven that your superior mind cannot function for even a moment without tasks derived from a power inferior to my own." she explained.
At that moment, Ryuko felt her head hurt from what she said as well as feeling her mouth go dry. Deep down, she had no idea what she said and wasn't sure if she said everything correctly. All she could see was Jakuzure was mad and Inumuta was left in silence.
"So that's how it will be." Inumuta said, hiding the fact that he feels offended.
"Was that an insult? That was an insult wasn't it!?" Jakuzure angrily asked. "I have no idea what Matoi just said but it was probably nerd speech for trash talk against Lady Satsuki!" she said accusingly.
Inumuta sighed, "I see that the academy has increased your vocabulary, Matoi. However, I will disprove your theory." he said as he activated his uniform. His large overcoat was replaced by a visor connected to a skin tight suit with various buttons, "Three Star Goku Uniform: Probe Regalia!" he exclaimed s the crowd cheered for him.
"Life Fiber Synchronize: Senketsu!" Ryuko cried out as she activated her kamui.
"Be careful Ryuko, this one seems to know you well based on his ability to study our teamwork." Senketsu warned.
"I could always try rushing him as quickly as possible." Ryuko said as she dashed at Inumuta. "Even if that fails, he can't predict all of my movements!" she said as she swings at Inumuta.
Unfortunately, Inumuta's data collection proved to be very useful. As this somehow allowed him to predict Ryuko's movements and move quickly enough to avoid her attacks. To the untrained eye, Inumuta appeared as if he stood still while Ryuko was running laps around him. Even as Ryuko moved around with little thought in her attacks, Inumuta could still avoid them with great agility.
"Matoi did you really believe that was enough? Regardless of how much brain power you put into your strategy, your kamui's interface is still the same." Inumuta said. "The fact that your kamui is entirely made up of Life Fibers is what intrigues me. What is it that makes you and Hinata special? Just how long can you hold out?" he asked.
"As long as I want, obviously!" Ryuko yelled as she continued to strike him with all of the speed she could muster.
Inumuta continued to avoid Ryuko's attacks with relative ease. With her failure to strike him each time, the head of the Information and Strategy committee continued to pile up more data on the girl.
"Even with knowing Hajime Hinata longer, there is still this distinction between the two of you. The two Kamui may be different, but I can tell that's not it all." Inumuta said while hopping over Ryuko's latest blade thrust. "Even now, I continue to pile up data on him." he added.
Ryuko gritted her teeth in anger, "You leave Hajime alone!" she yelled.
"Oh my, did I strike a nerve. I never realized you two were so close." Inumuta said, mocking her.
With Hinata
As Ryuko continued to fight, Hajime was going over some things on his smartphone. At the same time, Chiaki was playing some kind of game on hers, causing Gamagori to look confused. He knew about Chiaki's game addiction, which Gamagori found disgusting in his opinion, but was left wondering what Hinata was doing since he's on Ryuko's side when it came to support.
"What are you up to?" Gamagori asked.
"Programming a game and having Chiaki go through the testing phase." Hinata answered.
"You're making a game and she's playing that same game?" Gamagori asked.
"Pretty much." Hinata answered.
"Hajime, I don't want to criticize you but there's a few issues you need to hear." Chiaki said.
"Aw, is this how you two spend your dates? That's super romantic!" Mako said.
"You call this romance?" Gamagori asked with a confused face.
Unknown to anyone but the Ultimate Gamer, Hinata was not really programming a game through his phone. He was doing something much more complicated while tapping into the Ultimate Programmer talent. He was only asking for Chiaki's help by making her use his new program that was styled to function like an ordinary video game. As he could see, Inumuta was winning thanks to his data collection along with the Goku Uniform giving the programmer the power to avoid Ryuko's attacks in a balanced method.
Hinata was hoping that his forced talents were enough to think of a way to combat Inumuta and maybe slow him down. Just enough to give Ryuko the edge in this strange battle.
Funny enough, while everyone accept this story to be true. Kazuichi decided to try and court Sonia after being inspired by Hinata's program.
"So Sonia, are there any tools or projects you wish your country had? You know, like ways to improve society?" Kazuichi asked, trying to sound casual.
Sonia thought about it before answering, "I suppose there was one thing in particular. This was actually something my family have wanted years before the attempted Tragedy on the world." she said.
"And what would that be?" Kazuichi asked, hoping he could build Sonia's desires.
"Other than a series of devices that can replace everyday tools that can replace Helium once it's run out. We need robotic suits for everyday use!" Sonia stated.
"Oh sure... wait, you want robot suits? Like from Iron Man?" Kazuichi asked.
"No Soda, we need bigger suits to defend the country and establish a farming colony on the moon." Sonia answered.
Kazuichi looked defeated, "So something from Gundam." he said.
Maybe Kazuichi will have to wait a few years before he can create giant robots to Sonia as a gift to court her. This became more painful as Hinata could overhear the conversation and felt bad for Kazuichi. There's probably a good chance that Kazuichi is already forcing himself to learn all sorts of subjects to court the Princess of Novoselic. Although, if Kazuichi does learn and speak five or more foreign languages with great fluency, than Hinata will be impressed and congratulate his friend.
'I'll have to worry about Kazuichi making a mecha robot suit at a later time.' Hinata thought as he continued to work on his program.
"When am I going to get to fight! My threads are getting brittle and old and your idea of a "date" is stupid!" Fenrir yelled.
"Then maybe you can fight Kazuichi's robot suit later." Hinata whispered to his kamui who snarled.
Back to the fight
Once again, Ryuko failed to hit Inumuta where he stood but it was much different this time. Once Ryuko missed, she immediately realized that Inumuta couldn't be seen. She quickly looked around and saw nothing, but she could hear Inumuta's snarky voice.
"This is ironic, isn't it Matoi?" Inumuta asked before Ryuko was suddenly hit from all directions. "You cannot what you cannot see, but your progress was not much better when I was visible!" he said as he kept hitting Ryuko in various directions.
"Hold on Ryuko, I remember Fenrir tried this once." Senketsu said as he suddenly sounded like he was inhaling air.
As Inumuta continued to rapidly hit Ryuko while using his Optical Camouflage. Senketsu exhaled and released a multitude of spikes which hit Inumuta at the last second. That gave Ryuko a moment to breath and collect her thoughts while Senketsu adjusted the spikes around his body. Even with Inumuta's enhanced physique with the Goku Uniform, his data could not think of a way to harm Ryuko without substantially damaging himself.
"Ryuko, he literally has us cornered and we can barely hit him regardless of how well we can see him." Senketsu said.
"I know, if being reckless doesn't work. Then we just have to be even more reckless." Ryuko said, confusing her kamui in the process.
Ryuko suddenly started stretching out Senketsu's single eye. As a result, it made her uniform start stretching out and became too tight for her. It was a good thing Hinata found the special function originally meant for men so that her flesh would be visible. Senketsu's originally form only covered 30% of her skin and would have been covering about 3% with the rate she was going. Though it did make the underparts of the kamui look like a catsuit by this point.
"Are you merely going to stand there until I exhaust myself? Your thoughtless tactics are your downfall, Matoi." Inumuta said before noticing a giant shadow over him.
At that moment, Inumuta realized that Senketsu's eye was hovering over the entire arena. As per every attack, Inumuta believed he could find a strategy to avoid this. Much to his shock, several alarms had appeared in his visor and warned him that escape is impossible.
Evasion Impossible! Evasion Impossible!
"No, this cannot be! There must be a route or an exposed area I can break through!" Inumuta said as he rapidly typed on the buttons on his Goku Uniform.
Then suddenly, a new notifcation appeared among the many warnings.
Weakness Detected! Probability of success: 98.71%
Inumuta smirked, "I almost doubted myself for a moment there." he said before noticing the origins. "You can thank Hinata for your failure, Matoi." he said as he collected the new data.
Just as Ryuko was about to hit Inumuta like a fly. The programmer suddenly froze in place and felt his entire operating system freeze up. As he was about to question the state of his technology. He was subjected to 10 hour videos of hamsters going through some kind of boot camp run by Gundham Tanaka himself.
"Hamsters?" Inumuta asked before being swatted like a fly.
Once Ryuko lifted up Senketsu's eye, she proceeded to continuously beat Inumuta. After a few strikes, even some of the students started to feel bad for the guy as he looked like a cockroach by this point. What made this worse is the fact that Inumuta was trying to deactivate his Goku Uniform in an attempt to withdraw from the fight and settle with the new information he just gathered on Ryuko.
Eventually, Ryuko stopped using Senketsu's eye as a fly swatter and charged at Inumuta. Inumuta saw this as a chance to surrender and immediately deactivated his Goku Uniform before raising his arms up in defeat.
"I surrender." Inumuta said.
"What!?" Ryuko asked incrediously.
"I forfeit, that match is yours and I can settle with this defeat now that I've obtained more information on you." Inumuta said, sounding somewhat smug. "Although it appears that a bug has somehow entered my system. I did believe that I had information from Hinata that would have been useful, too bad." he said before leaving the arena.
"The winner is Ryuko Matoi!" Satsuki announced.
Even though Ryuko won, she really hated how Inumuta still felt satisfied. At least Gamagori felt some shame in losing since he was representing Satsuki. In fact, that's what all four of Ryuko's opponents want to defeat her in the name of the girl they are worshipping.
Unknown to Ryuko, Inumuta's entire database was being flooded with various videos of hamsters. It may take up to several days for Inumuta to acquire his lost data again and there's a chance that some of it will remain missing. For now, Ryuko would have to settle down with beating Jakuzure who was her next opponent.
Unfortunately, Ryuko really didn't like this fact as Jakuzure might be the most annoying member of the Four Divas. Mainly as Jakuzure arrived with her entire marching band following her.
"What I wouldn't give for another theme song." Ryuko said before hearing her phone go off.
"Is that your song?" Senketsu asked as Ryuko found a new text.
Hajime (little brother): Sending you a song. I made Ibuki do a cover of an oldie but a goodie.
Ryuko snickered, "You're the oldie." she said to Hinata's text.
As Jakuzure finally made her way down to the arena to face Ryuko. An army of drones with loudspeakers attached to them appeared right behind Ryuko.
"Did I keep you waiting new girl? Don't worry, it won't end the same as with the other two." Jakuzure said with lots of confidence. "Prepare for a one sided beatdown. Think of as a hymn for Satsuki." she said.
"Simp." Ryuko said.
Jakzure ignored the insult as her Goku Uniform transformed into a giant machine, "Three Star Goku Uniform: Symphony Regalia Grave!" she announced.
"That is not even a uniform anymore." Ryuko said.
"Just wait until you hear how it sounds. The Late Cavalry Overture!" Jakuzure said as she was about turn on her speakers.
However, as they were starting to play. The speakers from the drones had completely drowned out Jakuzure's music. At that moment, a pair of headphones were tossed in front of Ryuko as to avoid damaging her hearing. Ryuko grabbed the headphones when she suddenly looked at the ground and saw Ibuki activating her Goku Uniform.
"Two Star Goku Uniform: Rocker Legend!" Ibuki shouted as her uniform transformed into a punk like outfit with various instruments attacked. "Hey Jakuzure, you may know your way around a chord or two, but you're no musician!" she yelled.
Jakuzure glared at Ibuki, "And what makes a musician?" she dared to ask.
Ibuki smirked as holograms of herself surrounded the arena, "Presentation!" she answered as she started playing a classic song.
Jakuzure set her speakers to a higher volume only to feel the impact of Ibuki's own powerful music. The pink haired girl may have great skill with knowledge and can organize a band. However, playing with the band is completely different from organizing them alone.
"Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games! We got everything you want honey, we know the names!" Ibuki sang, causing Jakzure to crash.
"There is no way this can be fair!" Jakuzure yelled.
"I do not want to hear any complaining from my subordinates!" Satsuki yelled to a volume that went over Ibuki's music. "I allowed you to utilize your entry music, Jakuzure! Now Matoi has her own entry song! Now indulge it regardless of how tasteless this "music" is!" she said, even though she also really disliked classic rock.
Jakuzure held her tongue as she didn't want to earn another scolding from Satsuki. She just had to deal with Ibuki's singing before Ryuko started the fight.
Back with Hinata
Hinata sighed as he closed his laptop, 'That program was hard. I'm lucky Chiaki could help since I turned the virus into an interactive video game.' he thought. Suddenly, Inumuta sat next to him, "Can I help you?" he asked.
"You may not, I am already filled with too many stressful tasks. One of which include Gamagori not wearing any clothes." Inumuta answered.
"And why are you wearing a tracksuit? You lost." Gamagori said with a glare.
"Upon our defeat, we have to surrender our uniforms. There was no rule about stripping naked." Inumuta replied.
"How dare you hide your shame?" Gamagori asked.
"At least I have some level of shame, unlike yourself." Inumuta said.
As the two started to escalate into an argument, the two began to crush Hinata. Feeling annoyed, Hinata used his excess strength to shove the two boys away and give him some room.
"I'm going to get some fresh air. You two deal with your own problems." Hinata said as he stood up and walked away from them.
"Good, take Nanami with you. You two have been playing enough video games as it is." Gamagori said, not realizing what Hinata did.
Hearing what his comrade said, Inumuta felt suspicious of Hinata, 'I can't assume Hinata did anything. Every teenager with some money or ingenuity has an electronic or two.' he thought. 'Then again, he has every ultimate talent installed into him like a program. Hinata could be close to Fujisaki's level of programming.' he thought suspiciously.
Inumuta started to realize that Hinata tampered with his technology during the fight with Matoi. Not only did his fight get interrupted before being swatted like a fly. Inumuta found his data being corrupted and damaged to a significant degree.
As for Hinata, he did follow Gamagori's advice and went to stretch his legs with Chiaki. As well as to get away from the idiots who were making them uncomfortable. Maybe also get away from sounds of a music battle as it sounded like Ryuko would have to rely on Ibuki's music to boost her morale while Jakuzure was trying to kill her with the massive B-17 bomber that she considers to be a uniform.
"How are you holding up?" Hinata asked his girlfriend.
"A little tired, but it's so noisy." Chiaki answered.
"That it is." Hinata said as he grabbed a couple of drinks. "We're at the halfway point and there's no doubt Ryuko is going to find a loop around this one." He said.
Chiaki nodded as Hinata handed her a drink, "Can we wait outside for this one? It feels stuffy here." She said.
"Sure thing." Hinata said as he walked towards the gate. He then saw Akane enjoying a lot of food to herself, "Try not to choke. Keep me updated on everything while you're at it."he said.
Akane saluted him, "Sure thing captain." she said lamely before stuffing her face. Causing her to choke as a result, "ACK! Need lemonade!" she yelled as the food got stuck in her throat.
Hinata then looked up at the wall, "Hey Chiaki, you're not scared of heights are you?" he asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Chiaki asked.
Hinata gave his drink to Chiaki before lifting her up, "Don't look down." he said before jumping into the air with all of his strength.
Chiaki did her best to keep herself from screaming in terror. Luckily, her boyfriend was engineered to be one of the strongest humans on the entire planet. So it was a good thing he landed on top of the wall without incident.
Outside of Honnoji
After receiving permission from Ragyo to do as she pleased. Nui explored Honno city and saw the colorful citizens that made up the outskirts of the academy. The place was rundown, dirty and full of shady people who have likely got their hands dirty. However, that didn't matter to Nui they didn't matter to her but the event in Honnoji academy did.
It was at the point where she travelled up the long road leading to the academy that she noticed something. Sitting on top of the wall was Hinata and Chiaki who were enjoying the peace. The city was ugly, but it wasn't as loud and intense like other days or like the arena as it sounded like Ryuko was pushing Jakuzure to her limit.
"Aw, are they having a date?" Nui asked in a sweet voice. A deranged smile then appeared on her face, "I should interrupt." she said before running further up the road.
As Nui wasn't a natural born human, she also had super human abilities. Thus, she was able to make her way towards the top of the wall. Where she suddenly appeared in front of Hinata and Chiaki's faces.
"Wow, it's you!" Nui said to Hinata. "You look different, did you get a haircut? No wait, you got a uniform now!" she said.
"Who the hell is this lolita bitch? I wear I'm going to kick her ass if she doesn't give us some space!" Fenrir growled out.
Hinata suddenly threw a kick towards Nui's head. Nui avoided the kick along with a few others at crazy speeds. She merely smiled away at Hinata's attacks as they wouldn't connect with her. Leaving Chiaki concerned and confused about what was happening.
"Hajime, who is this?" Chiaki asked, having already forgotten about Nui.
"She works for the scientists who turned me into a talented monster." Hinata said as he missed again.
"Wrong!" Nui interrupted. "I work for Lady Ragyo, she's the one that made you a real man. She's like a goddess to some people so that means you're her prophet or even an avatar!" she said excitedly.
At that moment, Nui narrowly avoided her head from being decapitated by Hinata's Buster Sword.
"You jerk! You almost took my head off!" Nui yelled as she swings her umbrella at Hinata.
By this point, Chiaki didn't have time to question what was going on. She just had to settle with the fact that this strange girl is a threat since she trusted Hinata's instincts.
"Two Star Goku Uniform: Battle Sim!" Chiaki said as she activated her uniform.
Hinata followed suit, "Life Fiber Synchronization: Kamui Fenrir!" he yelled out.
"Wow, you got a new suit. Too bad you two don't match." Nui said.
"I swear, if I had ears, this little bitch would make them bleed with her voice!" Fenrir yelled.
"I know, but we gotta defeat her. Not listen to her." Hinata said as he raised his Buster Sword.
"Aw, I thought you couldn't remember anything. Then again, it was Izu-kun who was the fun guy. Where's Izu-kun?" Nui asked, referring to Izuru Kamakura.
While Hinata had vague memories of Nui and the experiments done to him. The facts and basic details of the secret laboratory under Hopes Peak Academy were all he knew. Like Toko Fukawa who has an alternate personality disorder, better known as Genocider Cho, who is a serial killer. Toko doesn't recall the deaths she caused but is aware of them and possibly who they are. The same being said with Hinata and Izuru, even though Izuru is a lot more hostile and less open to some form of communication.
Leaving Hinata with some knowledge of Nui and a bit of Ragyo. He was also partially aware that Ragyo referred to Izuru as her son, but Hinata isn't aware that she really is his mother. Hinata thinks Ragyo referred to him because she personally modified him.
"Hajime! That girl isn't natural!" Chiaki exclaimed.
"That's a rude thing to say." Nui said before running directly towards Chiaki. "I don't have Lady Ragyo's talents, but that won't stop me from sewing your mouth shut." she said.
That's when Hinata tackled Nui and subsequently knocked her off of the wall. Chiaki ran towards the edge and saw Hinata and Nui plummet. There, she saw Nui kick Hinata away and tried to halt her fall only for the Buster Sword to be thrown and subsequently destroy her umbrella. Hinata landed on top of some crafts table while Nui landed on top of his van.
Funny enough, this somehow turned on Hinata's radio where he lift his mix tape inside.
(Jujutsu Kaisen OST - Fight Again)
Nui nodded as she jumped off of the van, "Groovy." she said. She then threw away her umbrella, "Too bad about my umbrella, I didn't want to show this off yet. Oh well." she said as she pulled out a purple scissor blade.
Hinata looked shocked, "A scissor blade?" he asked.
"Yup, I took it from some old man that I killed!" Nui answered proudly.
Hinata's hands turned into fists as he ran towards Nui with great speed. He then punched the ground where Nui originally stood, creating a small tremor. All the while the blond girl stuck her tongue out at him and taunted him. Hinata felt angry that this girl killed the father he never knew, essentially leaving Ryuko as an orphan. But then he realized something.
Ryuko was after the answers for her father's death and thought Satsuki had something to with it. At the same time, he shared the same biological father with her but Satsuki secretly hates her mother. Did Satsuki really know about Nui or was she just humoring Ryuko for the sake of pride and possibly taking away the Kamui.
'It's all too frustrating.' Hinata thought bitterly as he picked up his sword.
"Hey slowpoke, you okay?" Nui asked, further taunting him.
"I'll be okay when you tell my sister the truth!" Hinata blurted out as he chased after Nui again.
Nui then looked genuinely confused, "You have a sister? Who is she?" she asked as she blocked Hinata's strike with ease. "Is she cute? Is she fun? Do I know her? Can you introduce me?" she asked as she repeatedly blocked each attack.
Nui continued to block Hinata's strikes with relative ease. That is until she got too excited and Hinata cut off her hand at the wrist. Nui let out a yip as if Hinata had only merely nicked her, but that left her wide open. As Hinata proceeded to decapitate the girl, causing her head to fall while the body danced around like a headless chicken.
Hinata stood back in shock by what he did, before noticing that Nui's injuries weren't that of a human. In fact, there were several red threads sticking out of her severed wrist while Nui's face looked annoyed.
"You cut off my head! Don't you realize that I need that!?" Nui asked, sounding very angry.
"Hajime, don't let her recover! She's not human!" Chiaki said from the top of the wall.
From her point of view, her visor already presented various results from scanning Nui. The first detail was the fact that Nui didn't have a normal skeleton but was made of Life Fibers. It was like looking at a kamui with the physical structure of a human. However, this did help her scans as the data she had always updated.
Target: ?
Weakness: Anti-Life Fiber weapons (ex. Scissor Blade, Buster Blade, Bakuzan Sword, etc.)
Abilities: Regeneration, immunity against traditional weapons
"Keep up your attack!" Chiaki yelled as she tried finding a way to get down from the wall.
"I don't think so!" Nui said as her body drop kicked Hinata into a tent. She then recovered her head and missing hand, "You can't kill me off like that." she said.
Hinata quickly recovered and sprinted towards Nui again, who decided to be a bit more cautious. Nui put in more effort to block and deflect each of Hinata's attacks as she didn't want to lose her limbs again.
"You have a really scary face. Why so serious?" Nui asked before being kicked across the ground. "So mean, I bet you don't even have friends." she said with a pout.
"He doesn't." said a voice from behind Nui. When suddenly, Nui was impaled with a sword from behind, "He has respectable associates." said Fuyuhiko as Nui turned to see his face.
In a brief flash, Nui realized that Peko had stabbed her when she wasn't looking. Allowing time for Fuyuhiko to aim his gun at Nui's forehead and shooting her three times before she hit the ground. Once done, Peko removed her blade and prepared to clean it only to see now stains except for the gaping hole filled with Life Fiber sticking out.
"Young master, this isn't a normal human." Peko said as she kept her weapon trained at Nui.
"Shit, I see why Nanami called for help." Fuyuhiko said before trying to pull the trigger again.
Only for Nui to quickly recover and kick the gun out of Fuyuhiko's hand. Peko quickly came to shield her master as she thrusted sword at Nui who blocked it with ease. Nui quickly moved out of the way as Hinata arrived and nearly cleaved her in half.
"This is going to take some major teamwork." Hinata said.
Peko quickly glanced at Fuyuhiko who nodded at her, giving his approval for the strategy. Peko then nodded at Hinata to confirm her willingness to cooperate in a combined fight.
"Two Star Goku Uniform: Dark Crimson Warrior!" Peko called out as her uniform turned into an armor similar to that of a samurai.
Nui frowned as the two charged at her, "No fair, handicap matches aren't fun!" she said as she charged at them as well.
With Ryuko
Jakuzure was finally at her wits end with Ryuko. Having heard enough insults and being annoyed that the delinquent hasn't been defeated yet. the pink haired girl was furious as this would lead to her defeat. Something her pride and loyalty refused to acknowledge even as Ryuko developed flight capabilities with Senketsu.
"Just give up you dumb bitch!" Jakuzure angrily screamed.
"I could say the same to you!" Ryuko yelled as she grazed Jazkure's armor with her scissor blade. That's when she noticed Satsuki, "Why should I keep wasting my time with you?" she asked.
Jakuzure immediately realized that Ryuko was going to attack Satsuki directly. It was at the last moment that Jakuzure blocked the attack with her uniform. Causing Ryuko to crash back into the arena.
"I will not let you touch Lady Satsuki!" Jakuzure roared.
"And you think your oversized blimp of a body will stop me?" Ryuko asked.
Jakuzure had enough and released all of her frustration all at once. She fired every single projectile from her Goku Uniform at Ryuko. Forcing the delinquent to dodge every attack before catching one of the projectiles, a missile in the shape of a recorder. Using that, Ryuko used Senketsu's newfound flight and used her strength to send the missile crashing into Jakuzure.
"Eh? That's not possible." Jakuzure muttered as she looked terrified.
The impact of the explosion caused the uniform to explode and releasing hundreds of instruments from the aircraft. All around the arena, everyone was drowning in various instruments as they crashed down like shooting stars. Leaving Jakuzure on the arena floor, exposed and ready for Ryuko to beat up.
"Ah, did you loose your power to fly?" Ryuko asked, making the pink haired girl look scared. "You did? Too bad." she said.
"Hey, let's just call it a draw." Jakuzure said nervously.
"Nope, that's not how I role." Ryuko said.
"This isn't fair! You should come down here! You already gave me a bad handicap already!" Jakuzure said.
"I would, but I want to win. Ready Senketsu?" Ryuko asked.
"Now that I can fly, there's no way I want to come down." Senketsu said.
That's when Jakuzure became a punching bag for the duo as they repeatedly pummeled Jakuzure back and forth with their flight ability. When itw as over, Ryuko sent Jakuzure flying into the air.
"Sen-i-soshitsu!" Ryuko yelled as she cut through Jakuzure's uniform.
As Jakuzure fell, Senketsu frowned, "Ryuko, the technique has failed. I did not eat a single Life Fiber." he said.
"What do you mean?" Ryuko asked.
"Don't underestimate my Four Divas, Matoi!" Satsuki exclaimed as a mini set of stars appeared at the center of the arena.
That's when the one star students began to chant, "We want more! We want more! We want more!" as the stairs raised themselves.
Jakuzure returned and now wore a newly rebuilt uniform, "Three Star Goku Uniform: Symphony Regalia Da Capo! Now, I can begin my encore." she said.
"Your encore?" Ryuko asked.
"That's right, now the world can hear my victory. Starting with Beethoven Symphony Number 5." Jakuzure said before blasting Ryuko with an intense sound wave that destroyed the ground where she stood. Only for Ryuko to look barely affected, "What? Is my volume off?" she asked nervously.
Ryuko gave her a blank stare, "I literally listen to Ibuki's music everyday. She even crashes Hajime's house and plays super loud." she said. "Also, if you haven't noticed, her music has been pumping me up!" she said excitedly.
"No way! That trash gave you power!?" Jakuzure asked with a shocked face.
"The only trash I see is the thing standing in front me." Ryuko said before stomping towards Jakuzure.
In a last ditch effort, Jakuzure unleashed all of her music at once. Causing Ryuko to slow down as the sound waves pushed her back. Only to witness Ryuko slowly bring out her scissor blade as she came closer and closer towards the musician.
"Stay back! I will win! You won't even touch Lady Satsuki!" Jakuzure yelled.
"Shut the hell up and go back to music school! Sen-i-soshitsu!" Ryuko yelled before destroying Jakuzure's uniform for good. "Hey Satsuki, how about you hire a musician that doesn't suck?" she asked in a taunting voice.
In hindsight, maybe Satsuki should have just let Sanageyama have his turn already.
With the teachers
As the teachers watched all of Ryuko's battles with anticipation. Their friend with the red mohawk appeared, looking serious as ever.
"You should learn to smile, Tsumugu." Chisa said.
"And Aikuro needs to learn how to get dressed. He looks like shit." Tsumugu replied, not caring for Chisa's opinion of his appearance.
"I keep telling him to iron his clothes and get a haircut." Chisa said while glaring at her coed.
Aikuro sighed as he lowered his sunglasses, "Chisa-chan, calm down. You sound like you're my wife." he said. "Not that I wouldn't mind if you're interested." he said flirtatiously.
"Clean yourself up first." Chisa said bluntly.
"Enough, you can get rejected later. Now update me on this mess." Tsumugu said, ignoring Aikuro's sad face.
Chisa pulled out a recording device, "Ryuko has quickly improved to great levels since your assault on her." She said, still sounding bitter.
Tsumugu paid close attention to the new forms that Ryuko's uniform could take. Leaving him with planning out a strategy as his paranoia hasn't gone down. A part of it only increased as it made Tsumugu remember his sister's death, only in this case, Ryuko's kamui would make a bigger mess should it lose control.
With Class 77
Chiaki was quickly going through the various settings on her hud as she watched Hinata and Peko chase after Nui. However, it looks like Nui is still too quick for them to catch.
"Does that fancy pair of shades have a way to stop that psychopath?" Fuyuhiko asked her.
"I'm coming up with a few potential solutions." Chiaki said before hearing some kind of horn. "On the bright side, Ryuko won." she said.
"Good, she beat that annoying bitch from the marching band. Now, hopefully Hinata and Pekoyama can deal with that other girl." Fuyuhiko said.
Nui also heard the sound of Ryuko's victory. She smiled as she raised up her scissor blade to block the combined attacks of Hinata and Peko.
"Sorry guys, I gotta go!" Nui said as she shoved them back. "Bye bye!" she said as she jumped towards the arena pillar.
"She's going to interrupt the match." Hinata said.
"Who is that girl?" Peko asked, not remembering Nui either.
"I'll explain later." Hinata said as they chased after Nui.
At the arena
With Jakuzure defeated and Sanageyama being the final member of Satsuki's Four Divas. The class president gave Sanageyama her blessing to begin the fight.
"I've been waiting for this for too long, Matoi!" Sanageyama said.
"I was wondering how long it would take for us to finally settle this!" Ryuko said excitedly.
"Three Star Goku Uniform: Blade Regalia Mark II!" Sanageyama yelled.
As the two students prepared to engage each other. Nui landed at the center of the arena between the pair. Causing them both to stop in place as they were both surprised and confused by Nui's sudden appearance. Unlike the students of Hopes Peak who have only seen Nui once and vaguely remember her. Neither Ryuko or Sanageyama have come across Nui before and thought she was some random bystander.
"Who are you?" Ryuko asked.
"My name is Nui!" Nui answered.
"Well get out of the way! We're having a showdown!" Sanageyama exclaimed as he was about to hit Nui.
Nui turned her head and quickly raised up her scissor blade. Blocking Sanageyama's attack and sending him flying into the air. At the same time, Blade Regalia Mark II broke ripped was if it were made of paper. Shocking Ryuko by how much strength Nui had in order to defeat a member of the Divas with little effort.
"That was one of your Goku Uniforms, wasn't it Satsuki?" Nui asked
"What are you doing here, Nui Harime?" Satsuki asked, wondering why the girl who works for her mother is here.
"You were having so much fun and you didn't even send me an invitation." Nui said.
"This is none of your business." Satsuki replied firmly.
"It is now! I want to fight this girl now!" Nui excitedly said as she pointed Ryuko.
As Satsuki tried to understand why this strange girl was here. Inumuta was struggling to gather data on Nui with the same being said for Chiaki who tried to make a game plan. In the distance, Aikuro was watching Nui from afar while Chisa and Tsumugu were gathering data on Nui. Only finding things more complicated as they correctly guessed that Ragyo sent her.
Technically, Ragyo was watching all of this unfold with the Warriors of Hope. She just gave permission to Nui who really wanted to come.
Back at the arena, Hinata had started climbing up the pillar with Peko following close behind. Only to hear Satsuki's booming voice, causing them to stop.
"Stop where you two are!" Satsuki commanded.
"But Satsuki, that girl is…" Hinata tried to speak before being cut off.
"I know what she is, but I will have to accept this duel." Satsuki said before walking away towards a chair on the academy roof.
"Dumb bitch is getting in the way!" Fenrir angrily stated.
Unknown to most, Satsuki was actually feeling very stressed. Her stress levels matching that of someone who is about to witness society itself crumble. With her butler being the most observant and noticing this feeling right away. As such, he quickly prepared a cup of tea to help soothe Satsuki's concerns.
"Lady Satsuki, please drink this." the butler said.
"It's up to you now, Matoi." Satsuki said as her concern didn't decrease.
Peko looked at Hinata with a questioning look, "What do we do from here?" she asked.
"We regroup, Honnoji isn't exactly organized as Satsuki thinks it is." Hinata said, stating the obvious. "But I think things are going beyond Satsuki's control by this point." He said.
"Very well." Peko said as she climbed back down to the surface.
"Piece of shit, stupid rules." Fenrir muttered.
With the girls
As Satsuki gave her blessing for Nui to take Sanageyama's place and fight Ryuko. Ryuko eyed the purple scissor blade that Nui was holding as if it were some trendy accessory.
"Where did you get that?" Ryuko asked, almost sounding like a demand.
"This? Somewhere important." Nui answered.
"That didn't answer my question! Tell me before I kick your ass!" Ryuko said, sounding more demanding.
"You really want to fight me, don't you? That's good, I thought I you would hold back since I'm dressed like this." Nui said as she bounced around Ryuko. "It's a good thing I killed your dad, right?" she asked.
"What?" Ryuko asked with wide eyes.
"I killed your dad, but it was his fault. He tried cutting me with both scissors and stabbed me in the eye." Nui said, leaving out some details. "It's a nice color, don't you think?" she asked as she stroked the scissor blade.
Ryuko's face completely darkened as her mind entered a state of rage that she had never achieved before. Had it been any worse, the whole crowd would feel the murderous desire within Ryuko. A second later, her seki tekko activated her kamui's transformation without Ryuko moving a single muscle from the spot.
Another second later, Nui rapidly blocks each attack as Ryuko attempts to kill her. As with Hinata and Peko, Nui puts some effort in her defense as Ryuko fights in an animalistic style.
"Why did you kill my dad!?" Ryuko asked with great fury in her voice.
"I had to get that thing you were wearing." Nui answered.
"Senketsu?" Ryuko asked.
"Yup, he wasn't supposed to have it and you weren't supposed to wear it. That and another one, that is." Nui said before dodging Ryuko's next set of attacks. Nui then appeared behind Ryuko, "But sometimes, breaking the rules can be as fun." she whispered as she stroked her nails against the kamui.
Senketsu let out a scream of pain as he forced Ryuko to jump away from the deranged girl.
"That girls fingers feel like ice!" Senketsu exclaimed in fear.
"Wow, that's definitely 100% Life Fibers! It feels so silky!" Nui happily said. "I think I did the right thing trying to off your dad for keeping that thing hidden away." she said, further enraging Ryuko.
Senketsu didn't like how this fight was going as Ryuko's attacks were more animalistic. With him feeling Ryuko's blood boiling and taking a negative effect on him. Even worse as he felt Nui's ice cold fingers grabbing onto a thread from him.
"You're really pretty either way. I wonder how you look naked." Nui said as she ripped off the thread.
Senketsu let out a scream of pain as if the thread was attached to a vital organ. The effect was also painful for Ryuko, but as bad. However, their synchronization was a mess by this point in the battle. Even if Senketsu tried, Ryuko was not going to calm down as Nui only made it worse.
"It was you! You were the one I saw run away that night!" Ryuko exclaimed.
"It sure was, but if I knew it was you who came. I would have stayed around longer." Nui said, continuing her flirting streak.
Suddenly, steam came from within Ryuko's body. As Senketsu feared, Ryuko's blood pressure literally boiled to levels he couldn't handle. Her stress started messing with Senketsu's psyche and made it difficult to stay sane. The same going for Ryuko.
"Ryuko, your blood is boiling! You have to calm down… else I will… lose control!" Senketsu managed to say before transforming again.
Instead of taking on a new ability as when he helped finish off Gamagori and engaged Jakuzure in the air. No, as he had just said, Senketsu would lose control. His body fused with Ryuko and contorted into some monstrous amalgamation that let out a monstrous roar as blood exploded from it's creation. As blood rained and the monster is all that came from Ryuko and Senketsu.
Nui continued to smile away as if this was something natural.
Meanwhile everyone from Satsuki, her subordinate and the Ultimates felt an great amount of concern. In fact, Satsuki herself felt actual fear for what Ryuko has become and decided to finally step in.
"Damn, what was this Nui's plan all along? Or was she just pushing Matoi to her limit?" Satsuki asked as she walked down her red stairs.
With Mako
Both Inumuta and Chiaki could see that the status of Ryuko's transformation was taking a negative toll.
"Matoi's condition has granted her the strength of a berserker, but at the cost of losing too much blood. In a few minutes, she will die." Inumuta said.
"Just like that? She turns into a monster and she's going straight for the grave?" Jakuzure asked, looking surprised.
"I'm quite surprised as well. I doubt Matoi will find the mental capacity to calm down before that happens." Inumuta said.
Then Mako stood up, "Then it's up to me as Ryuko's best friend to save her! No matter how bad the odds are!" she exclaimed.
Gamagori looked surprised and impressed, "Mankanshoku, that is true loyalty if I had not seen any before." He said.
"But I can't do it alone!" Mako said as she ran towards the Ultimates.
With Class 77
As Mako said, she went to seek out help from those with more strength and knowledge. As she ran up to her classmates, she saw Kazuichi working on something that looked like a giant laser gun. While several others were arming themselves as they were ready to jump into battle as well.
"Hajime, I think we might need something else for Ryuko." Kazuichi said.
"We're not using lethal action against Ryuko." Hinata responded.
"You better do whatever it is you think you should do, Hajime. Ryuko's HP is dropping rapidly." Chiaki said, scaring everyone. "I estimate about seven minutes and forty-two seconds until…" she trailed off as she didn't want to say anymore.
"Maybe I can cook something up to soothe the beast or something." Teruteru said as he started rapidly cooking.
"We don't need you flirting with her!" Fuyuhiko yelled with annoyance.
"I'm not! I'm just saying I might make some remedy food, unless you all have a bunch of tranquilizers ready!" Teruteru responded as he kept cooking.
"Guys! We have to hurry!" Mako screamed. "Ryuko is losing lots of blood and it's worth a lot of money!" she cried out.
Everyone just stared at Mako with very mixed emotions. Most of which ranged from disgust to just sheer confusion. Some thought Mako was selfish for saying that, the others thought Mako was just being weird. At that moment, the whole Mankanshoku family arrived in the family truck.
"Hey Mako, we were watching from the television until we ran into some issues." Barazo said.
"Dad, you're here! I need you to give me a lift, Ryuko is in trouble!" Mako exclaimed.
"Really? Everyone who isn't overweight, hop in!" Barazo said as Mako jumped into the back of the truck.
"Now that I think about it. I can try out the turret I added to the family truck." Kazuichi said as he pressed a button from a remote in his pocket.
Suddenly, a 50. caliber gun turret appear from back of the truck. Mako and Mataro looked at the weapon with stars in their eyes. Only to fight over who would have to use it.
"Move over Mataro, I need it to save Ryuko!" Mako exclaimed.
"You don't save people by shooting them! So that means I need to use it!" Mataro argued.
Hinata sighed, "Kazuichi, just finish the gun. Everyone who can fight, follow me." He said.
By the time his children stopped fighting over who would pilot Kazuichi's gun turret attachment. Barazo pressed his gas pedal with vigor as he speeds towards Ryuko. All the while Class 77's fighters ran past his automobile with great speeds.
"Wait, when did those kids have time to modify my truck?" Barazo asked.
"We did abandon it after we upgraded our home from an apartment to a mansion." Sukuyo answered.
"Oh right, Hajime said he found it in the junkyard. I thought the truck was acting strange by the fact it only takes one turn of the keys for the engine to start." Barazo said, thinking a minor issue was something very suspicious.
At the arena
Ryuko continued her rampage around the arena to the point it completely shattered and collapsed. It didn't end as she continued using her monstrous strength to try and hit Nui but with no result. Nui only further taunted Ryuko as saw no danger in the monstrous girl's behavior.
"You're becoming a bigger monster with every second, just like how Life Fibers should be!" Nui said.
As Nui avoided each attack with ease, Tsumugu arrived to the battlefield.
"I told you this would happen, your kamui has taken over your mind and body." Tsumugu said.
"Who are you?" Nui asked before receiving a gun to the face as an answer.
Tsumugu fired at Nui using his customized nail gun using one hand, which completely missed Nui. Then with his other hand, Tsumugu fired at Ryuko who's body deflected the nails. Ryuko growled at Tsumugu before swiping at him, nearly taking off his head in the process. He continued to duck as several missiles nearly hit him and crashed into Ryuko.
'What was that?' Tsumugu wondered.
Only to see Sonia's uniform, "Two-Star Goku Uniform: Regal Stature!" she called out as her uniform turned into a dress with several gun attachments.
'I guess women moved on from bags and shoes to guns and missiles.' Tsumugu thought as he avoided more missiles directed for Ryuko.
Ryuko only growled in anger as she looked at Sonia.
"Ryuko, we may not be close, but your behavior is unacceptable. A secondary tactic in battle is one thing, but transformations is a whole other issue." Sonia said.
"Just keep the lethal weapons to a minimum!" Hinata said as he and the other ran towards Ryuko.
While Nui was still around and smiling at everything. She was actually feeling very annoyed by the sight of Class 77. So she raised up her scissor blade and attempted to attack them.
"Cutting in a dance isn't fun!" Nui yelled as she tried to attack Hinata while he was engaging Ryuko.
Only to find herself hitting some kind of wall transparent wall. Nui tapped on the wall a few times before trying to break it with her weapon. Only to find Chiaki standing behind her and creating more transparent walls to box her inside.
"You're not going anywhere." Chiaki said.
"Am I?" Nui asked as she repeatedly hit the walls, causing them to crack. "I don't care if you're Satsuki's favorite. I'm gonna break these walls, break your friends and then break you!" she said as she shattered the transparent walls and escaped.
Nui then aimed to attack Chiaki only for Peko to stop her, "I respect only two people in this world and one of them is my former class president." she said before parrying Nui's attack. "We fight for each other and fight as one." she said.
Nui gracefully recovered, "Then can you all scoot together? It would be super easy take you all out at once." she said.
"Wow, you sure like to talk a lot." said a voice similar to Nui's.
"Eh? Who said that?" Nui asked.
"I did!" the voice said as Nui turned around.
Nui's smile instantly vanished as she saw her doppleganger standing behind her. While would have considered the possibility of a clone of herself to be fun. She instantly felt rage as she saw the Ultimate Impostor disguised as her. Of course, Nui's rage wasn't directed at being copied, but because she was looking at her own reflection if she was very overweight.
"What kind of joke is this!? How dare you make me look like a beached whale!?" Nui angrily screamed.
The impostor laughed as they continued to mimic Nui, "Fat shaming is super mean. I guess your parents must be terrible people if they don't teach you manners." he said as he avoided Nui's attacks.
"Take those clothes off!" Nui screamed.
"No, no, no, you have to invite me to dinner first. Also, what's your favorite food? I'll go for anything!" the impostor said.
"You don't need anymore food!" Nui screamed.
"Wow, so cheap." the impostor said.
"That should distract her for the moment." Chiaki said.
It was a good thing that the Ultimate Impostor's Goku Uniform could copy others and their abilities to some extent. Especially as Nui appears to have somehow obtained the power of toon force. Making her fight as if she were a children's cartoon character.
With Hinata and Ryuko
Hinata struggled in his battle with Ryuko as her mind was gone.
"Ryuko, you have to listen to me! This isn't you! You wanted answers, but you can't get them if you turn yourself into this!" Hinata exclaimed.
Ryuko roared in response as she slapped him away. This allowed for Satsuki to intervene as she blocked Ryuko's next attack. As she raised her blade against Ryuko's, Satsuki stared deep into Ryuko's monstrous face.
"Ryuko Matoi, you are to stop this at once!" Satsuki commanded only to be pushed back by Ryuko. Earning another roar as a response, "It's no use, she's too far gone in order for words to work on her." she said
As Ryuko's berserker state continued to run rampant. Satsuki became determined to put down the girl as she saw Ryuko as being too far gone.
"I will not allow you to destroy my academy, Ryuko Matoi. I am Satsuki Kiriyuin, the strongest person you will ever face!" Satsuki yelled as her sword clashed against the scissor blade, resulting in an explosive wave of blinding energy.
The two continued to trade rapid blows, with each strike causing more destruction around them. Even knocking back members of Class 77 as they attempted to get close. However, that didn't stop Hinata as he needed to get through to Ryuko before Satsuki could try to kill her. He looked over to Akane who had her Goku Uniform activated.
"Akane, I need a boost." Hinata said as he ran at the gymnast.
"Sure thing!" Akane replied as she fell onto her back.
Using Hinata's momentum, Akane used her feet to connect with Hinata's feet. Before pushing him away with all of her strength and making Hinata fly directly towards the center of the battle.
With the force of Hinata's flight amplified by Akane, Hinata started to fly towards Ryuko with the force of a missile. Unfortunately, he completely missed his target as Mako suddenly tackled Ryuko. As Mako attempted to give her heart warming speech, Hinata crashed into a pile of debris that was right next to Satsuki. Satsuki was gracious enough to pull Hinata out of the mess by lifting him out with his leg.
"Ryuko, you're destroying the school just like I did! Don't you remember!?" Mako yelled as tears fell down her cheeks. "Don't you remember the Fight Club!? You snapped me out of it because you were there for me! Now I'm here for you!" she continued to cry out.
Mako's words seemed to have some effect as Ryuko was being less violent. Instead of hitting Mako, she merely tried to pry her off. However, Mako's literal power of friendship was keeping her attached to Ryuko.
"You set me straight, so now I'm gonna set you straight! I'll get you back!" Mako said before slapping Ryuko across the face. "I'll get you back! I'll get you back! I'll get you back!" she repeated every time she slapped Ryuko.
After about 50 or so slaps to the face. Ryuko reverted to her normal self, only to continue becoming Mako's punching bag. At least until Hinata lifted Mako up from behind as she kept swinging her arms.
"That's enough Mako. Ryuko is back." Hinata said.
"Yeah, I'm back." Ryuko whispered. "Senketsu, I'm sorry for letting you go through that." she said.
"It's okay Ryuko, I'm just happy you are safe." Senketsu said before Ryuko collapsed. "Ryuko!?" he asked.
"AH! Ryuko, please don't die!" Mako begged.
"She is just unconscious, Mankanshoku." Satsuki said as she sheathed her blade.
"Eh? Lady Satsuki, I didn't know you were here. Wait, you know my name?" Mako asked as Satsuki ignored her and left. "And wait a minute, when did I get this perfect tan?" she asked, noticing her skin had burned when she latched herself onto Ryuko's monster form.
Hinata sighed as he proceeded to lift Ryuko into his arms, "Someone call Mikan, Ryuko is going to need some help." he said. "Maybe she can do something about Mako's skin burn." he added.
"This is a tan." Mako said.
Chiaki walked up to Mako and scanned her, "No, that's skin burn. Also, tans are supposed to make your skin brown, not bright pink with red marks." she said.
In the distance
Chisa was pacing around anxiously before watching Tsumugu arrived. The mohawk wearing man looked annoyed as usual but he seemed to be in perfect health. Although he couldn't say anything about the Ultimate Impostor who he was carrying over his shoulder before dropping them onto the floor.
"What happened?" Chisa asked.
"I saved them from that crazy girl in the tutu, but it wasn't easy." Tsumugu said before sitting with his legs crossed. "Nothing could damage the girl. Explosives, sharp threads, nails, she was too durable and that Matoi kid was practically unstoppable in that form." he said.
"Yeah, it's a scary sight. Watching Ryuko now will be as important as ever." Aikuro said.
"And the other kid?" Tsumugu asked, referring to Hinata.
"I think the kid already has a failsafe. Trust me, considering that his kamui is a lot more dangerous. Hajime Hinata has it all under control." Aikuro said with confidence in his voice, but it didn't convince Tsumugu who thought otherwise.
"I should check on them soon." Chisa said.
"Yeah keep an eye out on their health." Aikuro said.
"Of course I'm doing that. Magic clothes or not, those are my students and today will have been very traumatic for everyone." Chisa said firmly.
TO BE CONTINUED...
OMAKE - Ryuko is an Ultimate?
As Ryuko struggled to hit Nui, Senketsu's noticed a very small cut landing on Nui's shoulder. While Ryuko was too focused on hurting Nui who taunted her. Senketsu could see the small wound perfectly. Instead of bleeding like any other ordinary person, or non ordinary as some kids bleed pink for some reason, Nui's internal blood was replaced with a familiar red thread.
"Life Fibers!" Senketsu exclaimed.
"I know! I know! Life Fibers is the only thing that matters for whatever reason!" Ryuko yelled.
"No Ryuko, that girl is made of Life Fibers!" Senketsu said before whispering some other details.
"Eh? How is that possible?" Ryuko asked as Senketsu gave more instructions.
"Hey, what are you whispering about? Don't leave me out!" Nui said as she appeared behind Ryuko.
Just as she was about to stroke her Kamui and get a good feeling of the kamui's Life Fibers. Nui suddenly felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and because of foreign this phenomenon felt. She let out a yip before realizing that Ryuko pulled out a Life Fiber from within her body.
"If a kamui is made entirely of Life Fibers and you're a human made of Life Fibers. Then that leaves me thinking." Ryuko said with a smirk as she pulled on Nui's Life Fibers.
Minutes later, Nui was completely disassembled and turned into a purse. Nui's smile immediately faltered as she felt like her entire body and become origami. Even at this point, Satsuki herself was visibly shocked by Ryuko's actions. Even more as she saw Nui being stuffed with all sorts of junk.
"The downside of a skirt is that I don't have pockets. Ordinarily, I don't like holding purses but this is too convenient." Ryuko said as she shoved things inside of Nui. "Let's see what I can fit inside. Razor blades, rusty nails, a pair of regular scissors and most importantly, some oysters." she said before zipping up the bag.
"AHHH! This is both painful and disgusting! Why do carry oysters!?" Nui asked.
Ryuko shrugged, "I got them from the creepy guy who lives in the alley next Mako's house." she answered. "If you don't like this, how about this instead?" she asked as she quickly ripped Nui apart and transformed her.
Nui suddenly turned into a scarf, "Hey, my colors are all over the place!" she said.
Ryuko suddenly pulled out a fan, "Oops, don't get caught." she said.
"AHHHHH!" Nui screamed as she got caught in the fan, causing her body to be ripped apart. "What kind of fan is this?" she asked.
"One where the blades are covered in Life Fibers." Ryuko answered, making Nui scream in terror. "Just one more style!" she said with a sadistic smile.
Ryuko suddenly grabbed her father's other scissor blade. Utilizing both hands, Ryuko quickly started picking at Nui as if she were crocheting. Seconds later, Nui transformed into the most disgusting thing in the world.
"What am I?" Nui asked with a fearful expression.
Before Ryuko answered, she tossed Nui at Gamagori, "Hey buddy, as a sign of no hard feelings. I'll gift you a jockstrap." she said.
"A jockstrap!?" Nui asked fearfully.
"Matoi, as much I would accept the gift as a sign of condolence. I refuse to hide my shame." Gamagori told Ryuko.
"Gamagori, you will be allowed to wear the gift so long as you accept it. For once, you are to ignore professional matters." Satsuki said to her subordinate.
"Very well, the color is nice and I could use something under my towel." Gamagori said as he stretched Nui.
"WAIT! I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR DAD! HONEST! JUST DON'T LET HIM... MMMPH MMMPH!" Nui screamed before Gamagori finished putting her on.
"Wow, this is very comfy and it fits." Gamagori said, feeling happy.
"That is so disgusting." Jakuzure said.
"Disgusting but convenient." Inumuta said.
Ryuko laughed at her victory, "I didn't know I was that good fashion. I guess I must be the... Ultimate High School Level Fashion Designer." she said.
Every former Hopes Peak Student looked at Ryuko with blank expressions. All having various thoughts on Ryuko somehow having a talent that doesn't fit her personality.
Days later
Once again, the Mankanshoku family was living a good life. Only they were still on their original property, but in a bigger house. Thanks to Ryuko's talents, they were able to sell a lot of trendy accessories and clothes. All of them were basically based on the delinquent style that defined Ryuko. At the same time, Ryuko kept the family in line as to keep them from going crazy again like last time.
"Well Ryuko, I know nothing about fashion but you seem to know everything." Mako said.
"Yeah, this is actually a major shock to me too." Ryuko said before finishing another set of clothes with ease.
Then Sukuyo came walking in dressed like a female delinquent, "Ryuko, an exotic looking woman wants to meet you." she said.
"I wonder who that is." Ryuko said before walking into the living room.
"Hello, you must be Ryuko Matoi. My name is Ragyo Kiriyuin." the woman said.
"Oh, are you related to Satsuki?" Ryuko asked.
"Yes, I'm her mother." Ragyo answered.
"I feel sorry for you." Ryuko bluntly stated.
"I feel sorry for myself as well." Ragyo said, not caring for insults directed at her daughter. 'Because my true daughter is standing before me. Only a woman of this great talent is related to me!' she thought.
