Chapter 2

As the lessons started to finish one after another, some students started to gather in the school yard there were about 20 people. They were waiting for their teacher who will take them on a lesson of combat practice. The small crowd was split for some groups who were discussed the latest news. Someone of boyish part found themselves in discussing girls and vice versa. The group of four people was standing a bit far from the main crowd and talked with each other. The first girl had short brown hair and had the same brown eyes. She was talking with enormous enthusiasm. It was Maki. The other one was the boy with short black hair; his eyes were unusually green like leaves of a tree. He was well built, but at the same time he was a bit thin and smaller because of the artificial difference in size as all women wore heels. The other two persons were Mai and Ren. The common thing between the students was that they were wearing a special ninja outfit. Mai's uniform consisted from purple tight body suit with some metal plates her suit had several reticulate places on her outfit they were on elbow places and on her sides they were covered her from pelvic bone till her ribs. Her suit had an open place in the area of her breathing part of the body, in other words a small upper part off her breasts was exposed, whole neck and also her collarbones, and also the upper part of arms.

The other girl, Maki was wearing more revealing suit she was in a grey bodysuit. The upper part was looking like a bikini which was closing her breasts vertically exposing the middle of her trunk; her stomach and the inner parts of breasts had a diamond-shaped cutout. And on her back there were some kind of jacket but the sleeves were reticulate and her lower part was closed by trousers, however her pelvic part was opened.

The other one was a boy Aki. He was wearing a standard uniform his body was closed with a body suit, except his arms, but he had unclosed areas on his arm from the elbows till his shoulder. He had short brown hair too, but he had a curl of a strand whish was above his head.

"It's good that Sakura-sensei is replacing the lesson. She explains much better than the other teachers." The boy said to the girls.

"Well, she explains combat part perfectly, but theoretical part is impossible to hear how she tries to explain, it is very comically." Ren said drinking her juice. "Yatsu-sensei is not the same, she explains both parts perfectly, and I think they both are amazing." She said and raises her head to the sky.

"After all you want to be like elder Igawa" Mai decide to say and made Ren choked with her juice. "You always look for a chance to have a practice with Asagi-sama." The rest started to laugh.

"Hello boys and girls, here I am!" The crowd turned their heads to the right and saw the woman running to them she had a merry feature character on her face; she was smiling and waving with her hand. She had short yellow hair. Her eyes were blue and full of joy, she was wearing a suit which closed her body except her shoulders, but even if her upper part of legs were closed they were still shining through however her suit was black with yellow sleeves. "Well, are you ready for today's training? Murasaki-chan said that you're well prepared, to the training, didn't you?

The class exclaimed "Yes!" and then they went to the training ground. The training ground was the pearl of Gosha academy. It was fully equipped with advanced technologies. It had robots for practice some kind of simulator that was created for imitating their missions, and also there were a trainer of torture which increased the stamina of young hunters before the enemies' torturing. The group reached a big sport ground it was a closed white room that was using only for sparring. The room had nothing special it was a big white room from the first sight; however it had its own secrets. The operator could change the structure of the room creating a lot of obstacles or traps and etc. The students stood in a line and Sakura stood in front of the students and said.

"Boys and girls," she said cheerfully "Today our training will be in a single combat mode, the computer will check the person and you'll chose your opponent." And then she added as she heard the whispers "Yes, some of you used to do it in pairs which Murasaki-chan calls, but I decide to do it by my own. So are you ready?" The class nodded and she said again then she said "Let's start then."

The computer started to sort out the names and the first name the computer shown was Aki Ito. Aki went to the middle of the room as all students jumped on balconies which appeared when the boy's name was shown. The boy gulped and started to ponder whom he must dare for a fight. He painted at Maki saying: "I choose Maki Sato!" Maki has jumped off the balcony and came to the boy in a small hurry. "I'm glad that you've chosen me." She smiled and stretched her hand. "Well we're friends after all." He accepted her handshaking and started to wait their trainer's command. When the command was announced their weapons clashed, Aki's two handed katana and Maki's iron glove. The gloves were covering her outer part of hands but the inner was opened. They repelled each other attack and Maki decide to strike from the right into the boy's side but the boy, quickly oriented himself and dodged the strike.

'Damn if she gets me it would be really painfully. I must dodge here attacks and find a moment to attack' the boy thought while he was dodging attacks of his friend. Maki was trying to get Aki but he was quick, but at the same time as she tried to hit him into the face the boy parried her attack with the sword and then she jumped into the air and struck him in to the chest with her leg. The boy has flown away for a quiet of distance and let his weapon fly. The boy who landed onto his stomach rolled onto the back and saw how the woman prepared to strike from the air with her fist. The boy rolled right and saved him from a crushing fist he got his sword and when she was about to hit him again he dashed forward and tried to give her a little slice, but she parried it with her glove.
"You're fighting slowly you must gain your speed." The young huntress smiled and took a deep breath.

"Don't be overconfident you should read better enemy's moves." Her opponent said.

The boy decided to attack her from the air he ran and jumped and then he made a circular swing with his sword and this time the girl who decided to block flow away into the wall of the room. But when the way was about to do his next attack on his weakened opponent, the girl dodged the attack and struck the boy into his stomach with her fist and after this the time to fly away was after the boy, he landed on to his back and not having enough time event for realizing a situation Maki's foot was place on Aki's chest, making him to gasp. "I give in!" The only thing the boy said as the bell rang. The viewers separated in their applauses one part was resent how a boy could lose to a girl, and the other part was glad that Maki won.

"It's my second win if I'm not mistaken." The brown haired girl said, stretching her hand out to the boy.

The boy took her hand and said with the same smile, "I just can't read your moves. It's pretty difficult and that suit too." He said and turned his head away blushing a bit.

The girl merely smirked and said playfully "You're a pervert Aki." She playfully pouted and turned away. The boy went after her to the balcony walking with a limp. The boy heard the other boy's voice. "Hey Aki, how could you lose to a girl?!" And at the same time Maki answered don't give a chance to Aki to respond. "Don't worry next time I'll choose you for a fight." and the student's laughed except the brave boy.

"Well it's time to start our next battle" Sakura said playfully and the computer started to pick up the next student who will choose his opponent. And the next one was Ikenami Ren. The tanned huntress jumped from the balcony she was in her ordinary blue tight body suit which looked like a swimsuit.

"I choose Igawa-sensei as my opponent." The young huntress said. The students were fully knocked off their pins. And to disturb the silence the youngest Igawa decided to ask.

"Are you sure to choose me as an opponent? To fight an instructor is a very bad idea for a student."

"It's a bad idea for young hunters who only started to study not for elder students." Ren merely answered. And took her short blade out of her back the teacher jumped off the balcony and said. "Then prepare yourself" and then Sakura dashed to Ren attacking her with her two blades. Ren's teacher clashed her blades with the blade of her student. The sound of clashed blades was loud that even the viewers could hear it. Ren decided to try to ambush her opponent with strong attacks, she was striking Sakura with strong attacks, and however it was easy to Sakura to read them, because of her experience, so there was no difficulty to parry her student's attacks. When Ikenami realized that it was useless she decide to add some nonstandard tricks, when their blades met each other again Ikenami did a back heel. Sakura saw it and jumped back a bit and then hit Ren into her side making her lean onto her side. But she wasn't at a loss and tried to punch her into the face, but when Sakura tried to dodge it Ikenami immediately stuck with her blade trying to make even a little scratch to the teacher.

"Good feint Ikenami-chan" Sakura smiled as she closed with her blades. Ikenami just smirked at her praise and decided to hit with her leg by the left arm of her opponent striking one of her blades, then Ikenami tried to make a frontal attack. But Sakura dodged from it grabbed right hand of her student and then twisted her hand a bit, however leaving the sense of pain also making her to drop her weapon and taking her blade to the neck of her student. "Well your skills are really improved, but you have to work to get a better result and one day you'll become a very strong Taimanin, perhaps as strong as my sis." She smiled with her trademark smile and realized Ikenami.

Ren blushed a bit because of such praise and said. "Um, sensei. Can I go for a next mission alone?"

"Sorry but, I'm not the person who is giving them, but if you want I can talk with sis, and she will think what can be done."

"Really?" Ikenami couldn't believe in heard information "Thank you very much. If you do so, I won't disappoint you!"

"Well, who will be the next one?" Sakura decided to continue their lesson. But when her favorite student took her weapon and was about to return to the viewers' place added, "Just pay big attention to protection."

The lesson continued looking how the other students were fighting each other Mai's combat wasn't too long using her two handed sword she defeated the other girl who was using a spear. Everyone was amazed by her grace during the combat. Instead of the first trio she played cool, with emotionless face, to be honest it was her habit not to show them, she thought that they only prescind from combat, but didn't think that they're useless at all. When the training was complete the teacher gave a motivated speech to the students and let them go. The quartet decided to go somewhere to hang out. And the teacher decided to give the information she gathered about students' skills to the headmaster.
