Ohma is busy at his sparing training.
His sparring mate today is Adam Dudley
As part of there training, the kengan fighter arranged a sparring match once or twice a week while waiting for The kengan battle.
"Give your best shot brat" Ohma's teased.
"Say it to yourself asshole"
Slammed,dodges,heavy punches, head-bats, and kicked ended.
And Tokita Ohma won the sparring match.
"Tsk, you're lucky this not the real Kengan fights" Adam dubly said to Ohma.
"Keep dreaming brat" ohma countered.
Ohma walked to the bench and sat down.
"Its been a while ohma san" Rino waiving at him as she sit beside him.
Ohma nodded at her. " How's it goin Rino Kurayosi?"
"Very well, thanks for asking. I'm glad to see you again ohma san. After you left Kyoto, i haven't heard a word from you"
"I have nothing to say" ohma stated mater of facly.
She chuckled and they stayed in awkward silent for a moment.
Until Rino bid her farewell and went to Rei Mukazuchi's to watch his match.

Ohma is watching a sparring match with his fellow kengan fighter.
"Ohma kun" he turned and he saw kaede's approaching.
Lihito bumps his shoulder lightly, " is she here to fetch you? How romantic hahaha"
Himuro and ohkubo also giggled.
Ohma ignored their teasing and went to kaede.
"What do you want? Can't you see were on training"
Kaede handed him a folder.
"That's your revised contract , please read and sign it, I need it now"
Ohma bit his index finger to draw blood and put a thumb mark on the paper.
"Here" ohma gave the folder back.
"Just at least read it before you sign it"
"I trusted you kaede" he smirked.
She rolled her eyes and turned her back on Ohma.
"Aren't you gonna stay to watch my match?"
"Not today Ohma kun,I'm busy right now, good luck! Oh, before I forgot, I'm going to the town library this afternoon. Well just incase you look for me"

Kiryu and kaede at the library.
Kaede showed him a list of her favorite novels.
"Here Mr. Setsuna, I learned so much by reading this book. This was my holy grail when I was in college."
"interesting" kiryu started exploring the pages of the books.
" do you still read, Mr.setsuna?"
Setsuna moved his gaze from the book to face kaede.
"Not much compared to before..I used to read 3-5 books a week. I love to read in quiet places. I would much rather go alone than anywhere crowded places. I am introverted I guess." He chuckled
Kaede nodded. Its weird, but she felt at ease with him. She sense that something started to build a frienship beetwen them.
"Does that's explain why you are not in the Kengan sparring match?"
"Sort of. Some people think I'm different or some kind of lunatic" he lowly laughs" That's why I don't have many friends"
"In someway, I think we were the same" She smiled.
" I can be your friend Mr.Setsuna, if that's ok with you"
He smiled. This is the first time someone has offered friendship to him.
"I think so too.Ms.Akiyama"
Akiyama was aware that Setsuna and Ohma had something in the past. But what ever it is she's out of it.
On the other hand, Setsuna thinks the same. He heard of kaede's connection with Ohma. But he belive that he has other business with Kaede to be deal with.

"Ohma kun, Mr.Yamashita"
Kaede called them when she saw them chatting outside the gym.

"We have been to the town national library. By the way Mr.Yamashita, Mr.Kitsuna are also a chest Wizards like you. didnt you know that? I found a challenger who most capable to beat you."She giggled.
While Kaede and Kazuo are busy with their conversation...
"Its look like she enjoys your company, freak"
"Let says that we have common interest, that's all."
"I see" Ohma hums.
Ohma senses the dark aura coming from Setsuna..His face sudenlly change.
He chuckled." I still can't wait to kill each other Tokita Ohma"
"Me neither, Kiryu Setsuna"
In a splash, he disappeared.
"Mr.Setsuna, here is your...oh...where he is?"
"He left"
"What happened? Is he alright?" Keade worriedly asked
"Don't mind him" ohma calmly reply.
"Where are you two, heading anyway?
"Looking for something to eat, you want to come?"
"No, ill pass, ill go back to my room.."

Ohma followed her. Mr. Yamashita left behind speechless.
"What? Why are you following me?, i thought you wanted to eat?"
"Ill eat in your room"
Kaede order food for ohma.
" it will takes 30-45 minutes to deliver your food Tokita Ohma"
