“This is it, Grandfather...” the day I surpass you.

The battlefield is cracked, shattered and broken. All around you, destruction. Nothing exists, other than yourself and the towering man standing across from you, holding his sword and shield high and proud. You feel your energy draining, but you know that now you can finally take him on. You're so close, and you think you've found his weakpoint. You will finally be strong enough to take down Wei Kobashi.

“This is it!” You exclaim as you ready your lance. “BE READY!”

You charge, leaping through the air with your weapon branded. His upper right shoulder seems to stiffen up when you target that spot, his old age affecting his reflexes. Just a little, but enough to give a split second of hesitation before he can defend himself... and that is the point where you'll strike. You drive your lance down while letting out a battle-cry to take your mind off the pain... only for a hand to quickly wrap itself around your neck and slam you head first into the concrete. He caught you... he's too fast.

You groan, trapped in the earth, as the last thing you see is your grandfather raising his greatsword, and slamming it into your throat.

“You have died.”

The area around you disappears, and you find yourself back in that empty room, as Tekina opens the door to her simulation area. “Again? Tough break, Saki.”

“Let me go again,” you request. “One more time, I think I worked it-”

“No,” Tekina shakes her head. “Saki, my simulation protects you from real injuries, but there's nothing it can do to stop you from overexerting yourself. That was your fifth time today, what if you're needed for an actual combat emergency?”

“But-”

“Besides,” Tekina comforts you. “It'll do you no good to obsess over it. My Wei simulation isn't even accurate to his real power. I just pushed the software to it's absolute limits and labelled it as Wei. Your real grandfather is much weaker than this.”

You tilt your head. “Really?”

“Of course-wait... no, he's stronger. Sorry, I got that mixed up!”

Tekina smiles earnestly and tilts her head, but it doesn't stop you from feeling the sting. You furrow your brow and let out a sigh. “Right... thanks.”

“Hey boss, you done in there yet?” Akio's voice calls out to you, as you make your way outside of the simulation room to see him waiting with his arms folded. “Geez, I thought the great Saki Kobashi would be more generous. You've been hogging that thing all morning! Oh well, guess I'll just have to skip class in order to get my workout in.”

“That's not happening,” you reply. “And sorry... I guess I did get a little carried away.”

“A little?” Akio scoffs. “Boss, you're starting to act like Rei. You've even got that competitive crazy eye she gets.”

“I do not!” you protest.

Hikaru slams a book shut as she sits in a chair by Tekina's desk. “No, the bonehead's right... in more ways than one. You even postponed a class meeting to spend more time working out your issues with your grandpa. Saki Kobashi cancelled a scheduled appointment... we thought the sky was falling.”

Akio nods. “Yeah! Listen boss, as deputy class leader-”

“Ken's the deputy class leader-”

“-Ha, good one,” Akio smirks. “As deputy leader, I think I should tell you we're a little concerned about your behaviour lately. It's not like you to get caught up in training like this. That's usually me or Rei's job.”

“Yeah, you're right...” you admit. “It's just... I've been working hard to get stronger.”

“Isn't it the role of Class leader to make the class stronger?” Hikaru points out. “Not just yourself.”

“Yeah...” You admit. She's right, you've been so focused on yourself lately. Ryoji's been gone for two days, the threat of Archdemon's are still on the horizon and after your talk with your grandfather... it's hard not to get lost within yourself. But... Hikaru's words do give you a good idea...

“Actually, you make a great point, Hikaru!” you exclaim. “Emergency class meeting!”

“W-what?!” Akio snaps. “I'm supposed to be training!”

“Don't worry,” you wave him off. “You'll be getting plenty of training. PLENTY of training...”

Akio raises an eyebrow. “Boss, why are you using your scary voice?”

“Better draw up that will,” Hikaru jokes. “We may die today.”

>Later

You burst into the dorm lounge where everyone is gathered, your thick folder in hand. You slam it down upon the coffee table and look to the rest of the class.

“Frayed hair...” Chihiro notes. “Jittery stance, that manic look in her eyes... could it be that my dear Saki has lost her marbles!”

“No, I've discovered something more fun than marbles!”

“You think marbles are fun?” Kosuke asks.

You shake your head. “I never played with them as a kid! Marbles requires at least two players!”

“I regret asking...”

You leaf through the folder and come to the page you wanted. “So, I've been running battle simulations against my grandfather in order to strengthen myself recently... but I've come to an interesting realisation. Why run inaccurate and scripted simulations, when we have people more powerful than us in person at the ready? What better training experience is there than to be placed in there with an opponent who outclasses you and being forced to adapt? And so, I devised OPERATION: GET BUFF!”

“Name needs work,” Hikaru notes.

“No it doesn't!” Isamu exclaims. “Getting buff is the greatest operation one could undertake!”

You nod. “Right, so I split the available class into ten groups of two, based on our respective strengths and weaknesses, and assigned each group against the awakened teacher and Class 3 student who matches! This test is designed to give you all a personalised challenge designed to target your greatest flaw, a flaw you must overcome if you wish to succeed!”

“Hmm...” Ken thinks it over. “Saki may have gone crazy through a lack of sleep, but her idea's still a good one.”

“Thanks Ken!” you smile, as you hand out envelopes. “Anyway, here are your pairings. Treat your partner with the utmost respect, because you're gonna have to work together to come out on top!”

“Hang on a minute!” Rei exclaims as she pulls her pairing from her envelope. “Kobashi, there must be some kind of mistake!”

“Huh? Why?”

“You and I aren't paired together!” She explains. “There's no way that can be right, unless... oh, I see? Intimidated that I'll show you up if we were to be paired together, right? That I'd take the spotlight? I can see right through you Kobashi!”

>But Rei, I'd have loved for us to be paired together! Two buddies, back-to-back!

>I considered us, but ultimately I went with Akemi as my pairing.

"Hooray!" Akemi yells as she leaps onto your back. "Best buddy team! We should call ourselves the Sakemis! The Mecha Dragons! Cobra Kai!"

"I think that last one's taken..."

Rei's eye twitches as she watches you and Akemi high-five. "Best buddy... oh, I see how it is! The great Saki Kobashi would rather have fun with her pal than actually challenge herself against her greatest rival! Well, I guess I'll just have to show you how it's done, and whip my partner into shape-"

"What have you got your panties in a twist over now?" Rini smirks as she approaches, patting Rei's on her back hard enough to make her stumble. "Har! You think I'm not good enough? Your galcrush on Saki is getting a little out of hand!"

"G-Galcrush?!" Rei twitches. "This is a matter of seeing who the greatest fighter of all is, not some petty highschool-"

"Yeah, yeah..." Rini mutters, cleaning out her ear. "How about we just focus on our own trial, okay Flash?"

"Don't call me that..."

You turn your head to face Akemi. "Well, according to my schedule, we'll be the last team up."

"Oh, we can spend that time coming up with a team song!" Akemi exclaims.

"Yes..." you nod, confused. "But Tekina also set up monitors so we could watch the other trials take place. It's up to me as Class leader to evaluate my classmates' performance, after all!"

Akemi gives a thumbs-up. "Okay! But... who'll be evaluating us?"

"I suppose I'll have to," you explain. "I think I can trust myself to give an objective view of my performance... I hope."

Akemi nods. "Okay... who's up first!"

You leaf through your folder. "Ah... that would be the team of Hoshi and Seishiro. Let's check it out!"

You and Akemi grab seats by the monitor, filming the inside of Tekina's simulation room. The simulation has created a simple cityscape... after all, with Archdemons potentially invading this will be your most likely battleground in the near future. Though instead of a simulated challenge, Hoshi and Seishiro will be finding themselves facing a very real opponent...

>Team Hoshi & Seishiro's trial

"A-aaaa...." Hoshi mutters as she enters the arena, pressing her fingers together in a nervous stance.

"What the hell..." Seishiro mutters as he looks over to his partner. "How did I get stuck with you? We're nothing alike!"

"S-stuck?" Hoshi mumbles. "Oh, s-sorry..."

Seishiro sighs. "I didn't mean it as an insult, it's just... I was hoping I'd be paired with my bro Aki. Or even Ken... or Hiro... or Akira. You know, someone cool!"

"I'm not cool?" Hoshi asks.

"You're as cool as a boiling kettle," Seishiro explains.

"O-oh..." Hoshi mumbles. "W-wait... isn't that Yuji-sensei?"

The two look across from where they're standing, and the history teacher comes into their view, levitating while sitting cross-legged, smoking on a long pipe. He's not even looking at the pair across from him.

"Ah sweet!" Seishiro exclaims. "Saki gave us a teacher to fight! And his guard is down! Check this out, Hoshi!"

"W-wait, maybe we should..."

"TAKE THIS!" Seishiro yells as he unloads a round of bullets towards the casual teacher. Said teacher proceeds to let out a yawn, before placing his hand out, as the bullets stop in mid-air.

"Uh oh..." Seishiro gulps. "It's just like in that movie..."

Yuji flicks his wrist, and soon the bullets turn to face Seishiro again, firing towards him even faster than they were first launched.

Hoshi ducks and places her hands to the ground, using her magic to raise the earth above her in front of Seishiro, creating a shield to block out the bullets. Unfortunately for her, she's unable to raise that shield in time, and one of the bullets goes whizzing right through Seishiro's shoulder.

"GAH!" he yells out as he falls behind the rock wall. "What the hell?! That one hit me!"

"A-aaah!" Hoshi squeals. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"I thought you were supposed to be good at this crap!" Seishiro yells, wincing through the pain. "But Crybaby Hoshi's just useless."

"I... I..." Hoshi mumbles, her eyes filling with tears.

Seishiro grunts. "What? Crybaby Hoshi gonna cry again? You... you're really crying... crap."

Hoshi places her head in her hands, sobbing profusely... as Yuji raises a piece of wreckage from a building. A large sheet of metal levitates, though the air, as Yuji takes a casual puff of his pipe before launching it towards Hoshi.

"Children, I'm really disappointed that you aren't paying attention," he sighs.

"Crap!" Seishiro yells. "Hoshi, look out!"

"Hoshi, look out!" Seishiro yells, leaping out from behind the safety of the rock wall in order to tackle his classmate. He takes her to the ground as the sheet of metal flies just overhead, as the two scramble behind the rock wall to protect themselves.

"That was a close one..." Seishiro breathes a sigh of relief, before turning to see Hoshi wiping her red eyes. "Uhh... sorry."

Hoshi shakes her head. "N-no, you're right... it was my fault you got hurt. I... I really am useless..."

"You're not useless!" Seishiro exclaims. "Come on, you know me! I'm just dumb! I never think things through!"

Hoshi pauses. "You're right... you don't."

"See! I'm an idiot!" Seishiro laughs.

"You... you are..." Hoshi mutters, her eyes brimming with possibility.

Seishiro frowns. "Okay, Hoshi... you're a little too eager to agree now."

"No..." Hoshi explains. "I... I think I worked it out."

"What?"

"Our flaw," Hoshi explains. "Why Saki placed us against Yuji. Look, he's calm and composed... sitting there, prepared against any attack that we throw at him."

"Okay, so?"

"And your first idea was to shoot at him... and I acted too late to defend myself," Hoshi explains. "That's what ties us together. You're too hotheaded and I crack under pressure... so we never think things through and formulate a plan. Which is why Saki gave us an opponent to strong and too prepared to attack head on."

"Ah, I see..." Seishiro ponders. "Good think I got paired with one of the class nerds! It would have taken me all day to work that out!"

"Hmm..." Hoshi thinks. "Our best bet would be to work as a team, distracting him then attacking when his guard is down..."

"Huh... wait!" Seishiro notes. "I could toss one of my flash grenades his direction. Even if he stops it in mid-air, it'll go off, and blind him long enough for you to hit him some fancy magic attack."

"Or I could try to use wind magic to throw him off balance from his position, and you can hit him yourself," Hoshi notes.

"Okay, let's do this..." Seishiro mutters. "Gah, I'm weirdly nervous. Having to think about something instead of just doing it..."

"Don't worry, it's easy!" Hoshi reassures him.

"Okay, you can do this Seish, you're cool... you're cool..."

"Y-yeah, you're cool!" Hoshi smiles warmly.

Seishiro perks up. "R-really? You think so? Hah! You hear that Yuji? Someone thinks I'm cool!"

"That's nice, Seishiro!" Yuji smiles, before Seishiro jumps out and tosses his flash grenades. Yuji places his hand out and stops them in mid-air, but they go off regardless, letting out a blinding light that obscures Yuji's vision as Hoshi steps out beyond the Rock Wall.

She surveys the surroundings and notices something very interesting about the way Yuji is levitating. He seems to do so by controlling the air around him, pushing him up... however, Hoshi sees that large collection of controlled air in one spot as an opportunity to unleash an incredible explosion spell directly beneath the teacher.

"H-here we go..." Hoshi mutters. "EXPLOSION!"

The air below Yuji ignites, creating a massive blast in the area, enough to take down even one of the teacher's of Dark Gate.

"Did... did we do it?" Hoshi asks, as the smoke settles. A hand on her head tells her otherwise.

"Well, you would have..." Yuji explains as he stand behind her, seemingly having teleported to safety at the last second. "Had I not overheard your strategy. Still, well done on devising a strategy in the first place."

"Thank you, sensei."

"Of course..." Yuji responds as he summons a wall of spikes to separate Seishiro from Hoshi and himself. "I believe our trial is at an end. I don't believe there's a way out of this."

"Actually," Hoshi explains as she raises her hand, revealing a small spherical object in it. "Seishiro gave me this grenade just in case plan A failed."

"What?" Yuji gasps, but it's too late, as the flash goes off. Yuji is distracted, his wall of spikes fall, and Seishiro leaps forward to land a punch to the teacher's jaw knocking him down.

"Ha! Take that!" Seishiro yells. "I handed her that grenade while I was yelling at you before. I hoped she'd get why... uhh, Hoshi? You crying again?"

"N-no..." Hoshi sobs, wiping her eyes. "The f-flash just really stings... that's all..."

Hoshi and Seishiro: Successful.

"Oooh..." Akemi mumbles as she stares at the monitor, eating a bag of chips that you don't remember her having before.

You nod. "I have to admit, I wasn't sure how well they'd handle their trial... but it turned out pretty well."

You open up your folder and begin to make note of your biggest observation during the trial.

"We're all smarter than we think!" Akemi laughs. "I could be a rocket scientist, and I'd never know!"

"Akemi..." you point out. "You already build advanced machines."

"Whoaaa..." Akemi mumbles, amazed at the revelation. "So, who's next?"

"Hikaru and Satomi," you explain.


>Hikaru and Satomi's trial

"Wow, I'm sure Saki took all afternoon trying to piece this one together," Hikaru smirks.

Satomi giggles. "She couldn't have picked a more obvious team."

"I get what she's going for," Hikaru admits. "We're best friends, but we were so distant during our time here. She wants to see us make up for lost time and work on team combat... considering we'll be around each-other so much, it's good to prepare us to fight side by side more often in case of a surprise attack."

"A perfectly reasonable experiment to conduct," Satomi places a finger to her chin. "Though I must admit it's kinda... boring?"

"Yeah, I was expecting more of a curveball thrown our... way..."

Their curveball turns the corner to face them, as Shinji throws his sword over his shoulder.

"Oh... of course," Hikaru notes. "Should have expected that. Saki thinks that I would hesitate to fight my brother, or Satomi would hesitate to fight an old family friend."

"Actually, according to the notes I was given it's because the two of you aren't very strong," Shinji explains. "And Saki needed a powerful opponent to throw your way. Maybe you would have realised that if you had actually focused on the trial instead of nitpicking and dissecting it."

"Hey, watch your mouth!" Hikaru yells at her older brother.

"There's nothing wrong with a good dissection!" Satomi protests.

"That's it, I'll show you!" Hikaru shouts, as she prepares for battle.

"Now!" Hikaru yells, as Satomi fires a vial at Shinji.

"NOXIOUS GAS!" Satomi yells as the vial breaks, releasing a noxious gas into the air. Shinji doesn't panic however, as he simply pulls out a gas mask and places his over his face.

"What?!" Hikaru yells. "Oh... I see. Saki knows I wouldn't hesitate to show Shinji up... but Shinji knows all of our tricks."

"Of course!" Satomi groans. "He even proofread my notes back in middle school!"

Hikaru smirks. "Saki's forcing us against an opponent who is tough, strong and knows our usual plans, forcing us to devise a joint strategy. But something Saki doesn't seem to be aware of... is that we already have."

Hikaru fires a small burst of water from her jet-blade, one the moves to fast for Shinji to dodge. Despite moving at the speed of a bullet, the water wouldn't hurt Shinji an ounce... but it certainly cuts through the gas mask, allowing the gas to seep in. Shinji begins to cough, and quickly retreat into an alleyway.

"Dangit!" Satomi yells. "That concoction would have caused anyone else to faint with one whiff! Your brother's tough."

"Real tough," Hikaru agrees. "Hence why he takes to being a guard dog so well. But... we have him on the ropes. Now to follow it up."

"Do you think you can flood him out of that alley?"

"In theory, but there's not enough water around to do that," Hikaru sighs. "Then again... I think that alley will leave him backed up against a wall. No way he can come out another side and get the drop on us. We still have the advantage here."

Satomi nods. "Okay... so how are you going to get him out of there?"

Hikaru stands at the entry to the alley and begins to call out. "Oh, what's this? The mighty soldier Shinji is running away? Geez, I thought you were supposed to be a tough guy!"

No answer from inside the alley.

"Heh, you thought you'd be able to predict our offence?" Hikaru laughs. "Give me a break. You don't know anything about me!"

"... That's not true."

"Truth is, you don't want anything to do with your little sister, do you?" Hikaru calls out.

"..."

"You think I'm embarrassment, that I cramp your style! I'm sure if Maro told you to, you'd come out of there in a hurry... but you don't respect me. Not as a challenger... and certainly not as a sister. Even when we're matched together in this trial, you... you run away!"

"Hikaru..."

Hikaru's eyes well up as she cries out into the alley. "You've never cared about me... you're the worst brother in the world..."

From the shadows of the alley, Shinji steps out. His sword dropped by his side, as he envelops his crying sister in a hug. "Hikaru... sis... I'm so sorry. I never meant to make you feel like that... I'll never abandon you again."

Hikaru sniffles as she returns the hug. "Oh big bro, you... you... you are such a sucker."

Hikaru holds Shinji tight as Satomi splashes the two of them with a batch of chemicals.

"Oh, that's a cheap trick!" Shinji yells. "A low blow, even for you... wait, these chemicals aren't doing anything..."

Hikaru hops back with a smirk on her face. "Of course not, you think I'd let myself get hit with them if they did anything immediate? Nah, that batch doesn't do anything when it makes contact with human skin."

"Oh..."

"It does explode on contact with water, though."

"... Oh."

Shinji moves to grab his sword, but it's too late.

"JET BLADE!" Hikaru yells, as a massive crescent blast of water fires at Shinji, igniting the chemicals and sending him flying back, his weight crashing hard into the floor beneath him.

Hikaru smirks as she makes her way up to her brother. "Well, how do you like that?"

Shinji picks himself up, groaning in pain, before placing his hand atop Hikaru's head, ruffling her hair.

"Hey, cut that out!"

"Sorry..." Shinji smiles. "It's just... I'll be graduating in a couple months and... I'm so proud of you."

"S-shut up!" a blushing Hikaru yells, as Satomi lets out a little giggle.

Satomi and Hikaru: Successful.

"What she did seemed pretty mean," Akemi points out. "But it worked! And Shinji looked happy at the end!"

"Indeed," you reply.

"It's good when things have happy endings," Akemi smiles. "So, who's next?"

"Ah, it's Rei and Rini!" You note.

>Rini and Rei's trial

"What's that look about?" Rini growls as Rei frowns in her direction.

"Lousy Kobashi..." Rei mumbles. "Won't let us join forces so we can see who's truly superior-OUCH!"

Rei's mumbling is interrupted by a swift punch to the top of the head from Rini. "What was that for?!"

"You were bugging me," Rini grumbles. "Plus, I ain't your biggest fan. I generally ain't a fan of anyone who walks around thinking they're a princess."

"Oh please, I'm the princess?" Rei scoffs. "You're the one who married into a rich family and looks down on everyone else! Just because you do it in boots and a hoodie doesn't make you better!"

"I've never even sniffed Kosuke's family's money!" Rini yells, rolling up her sleeves, ready to fight. "My family was poor as hell! We barely managed to scrape by! You probably grew up in a mansion, but just because you don't get everything you want, you think the whole world is against you!"

"Is that what you think?" Rei snarls. "Well... you'd be surprised..."

"Umm, excuse me?" the voice of Tekina calls out as the school nurse raises her hand. "I believe you ladies are supposed to be facing me, not each-other."

"Hey, nobody asked you poindexter!" Rini fires back. "This is between me and Flash!"

"Really, the school nurse?" Rei places her hand on her head. "Kobashi... you give me a teacher, but it's the school nurse? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

"Oh dear, am I interrupting something?" Tekina smiles. "Oh well, I'm not in any rush. Continue."

"No," Rini shakes her head. "We should deal with this first. Saki'll be pissed if we can't even take on the school nurse."

"Oh by all means, keep talking!" Tekina laughs. "I'm okay waiting! After all, I've already booby trapped where you're standing!"

"... Wait what?" Rei mutters, but it's too late, as large nets spring up from the ground beneath the two girls. Rini is caught in the net, unable to move, while Rei just about manages to escape with her speed.

Rei lets out a sigh. "Dammit... we got too hot-headed, and our enemy took advantage. Now I see what you were getting at, Saki... okay, now what?"

Rei springs into action, drawing her sword and charging for her opponent. She lunges with her sword at incredible speed... but Tekina is able to move out of the way, a big grin on her face. Rei tries to follow up with a kick while in mid-air, but Tekina catches the speedster's foot and clamps... something to it. She tosses Rei aside as she lands on her feet to inspect what just got attached to her ankle.

"Huh? This is..."

"A few tons of weight," Tekina smiles. "I figured it was exactly what you needed to slow you down a little."

Rei scoffs. "Oh please, even with whatever weight you add on, I'm still faster than anyone!"

Tekina laughs and clasps her hand together. "Oh, how true! But that's not the experiment I'm conducting, dear! In fact, I'm more curious to how your speed reacts with only one leg being weighed down."

Rei's eyes widen as she comes to the revelation... Tekina has weighed down a single leg, throwing off the balance in her steps... a balance that was hard enough to maintain when moving at the speeds she did.

"Dammit..." Rei mutters. "I guess this is my own fault. I shouldn't have underestimated you... you're still a teacher."

"We all make mistakes!" Tekina reassures her with a smile. "Some mistakes are more devastating than others, however!"

With that, Tekina skips towards Rei, a smile on her face and a dangerous intent in her eyes.

Tekina skips towards Rei, who leaps back to avoid an attack. Tekina catches her by the weighted leg, however, and pulls her down, driving her leg hard into the ground, crashing her foot through the earth and trapping her. As Rei struggles to free herself, Tekina appears before her.

"You know, I've already noticed 52 points in your body that I can target to disable you. Luckily I only need one."

With that, Tekina drives her pinkie finger between the ribs of Rei, causing her to gasp in pain, unable to breathe. She keels over, as Tekina turns her attention to Rini, who is breaking free from her net.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" Rini grunts. "All these sneaky moves... they're so annoying!"

Rini pumps her fists, ready for battle, as Tekina lets out a sigh.

"I was hoping to disable you without effort early," Tekina explains. "I didn't think it safe for you to properly engage in battle, considering-"

"SHUT UP!" Rini yells. "Get ready!"

"That's it!" Rini yells. "You're going down! Take this! FIST OF TEN THOUSAND DEATHS!"

Rini charges at Tekina, letting loose with a flurry of fists. Immediately, the nurse goes on the defensive, not willing to fight back against Rini for some reason. This hesitation even allows Tekina to be hit by a few punches from Rini's devastating yet stupidly named attack.

Tekina quickly falls back, losing her composure somewhat, as Rini moves to Rei. She breaks her foot free from the ground, as the speedster lets out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, I was in a bit of a-"

Rini slaps Rei across the face.

"Ow! What the hell?!"

"You've got to be a bigger idiot than I am!" Rini yells. "I just unleashed me best attack...it definitely did it's damage, but not even that could stop her. There's a reason Saki placed the two of us against her... we can't beat her ourselves. We've gotta work together... as much as the thought makes me wanna vomit."

"No..." Rei mutters. "I know that's what Kobashi devised, but I need to try and win on my own. I know that I can do this... I can prove myself-"

"Why the hell do you gotta prove anything to your friends?" Rini interrupts.

This stops Rei dead in her tracks. Her determined face softens, as she looks towards Rini in silence, then back towards Tekina.

"... What's your plan?"

"Huh?" Rini pauses. "That changed you mind? Uhh... I don't really have much of a plan..."

"We need something," Rei points out. "No matter how stupid."

"Well, if we take her from both sides, we might have a shot," Rini explains, "But I've got another option... if you don't mind looking stupid."

"Oh? And what's that?"

"You ready?" Rini asks.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Rei sighs. "Go ahead and do it..."

Rini nods, and grabs Rei by the ankle. "Hey nurse! Catch this!"

Rini uses her strength to fling Rei through the air, hurdling her towards Tekina. Tekina raises her arms up to defend herself, but Rei comes crashing down with heel kick from her weighted foot. She smashes directly into Tekina, taking the nurse down, crashing face first into the concrete below.

"I look like an idiot..." Rei mutters. "But I feel like a winner."

"Congratulations," Tekina smiles. "You came out on top, girls... though I have to admit, this must be disappointing for you, Rei."

"Huh... why?"

"Well, with your competitive spirit, I assumed you wanted me at full strength, but I had to hold back due to Rini's potential-"

"OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH OUT OF YOU!" Rini yells.

"Wait..." Rei mutters. "Why did Tekina have to hold back? I... I didn't beat her at full strength?"

Rini sighs. "I suppose I owe it to you, since your world seems to be crumbling right now. I... kinda... might be pregnant."

"What?! When?! How?!"

"How do you think?" Rini replies with a raised eyebrow. "And calm down, I don't know for sure yet... but I didn't want to cause suspicion by skipping out on the trials."

"I requested Rini especially," Tekina explains. "So she wouldn't have to explain her secret to any of the other staff."

"Secret?" Rei mutters. "Then... who knows about this?"

"Just me, Kosuke, Tekina... and now you," Rini explains.

"Wait, Ryoji doesn't even know?"

"Nah, it's really not a big deal-"

"Kobashi doesn't know?"

"-It could just be nothing-"

"HA! Take that Kobashi! I was let in on a secret that you-"

A punch to the head shuts Rei up.

"Ow!" She exclaims. "Oh... and by the way, I'm sorry for snapping at you before. You're actually a pretty good teammate."

Rini pouts. "And... I guess I should be sorry too. I don't know anything about your upbringing... I shouldn't have assumed."

"Well..." Rei explains. "Mine's a lot closer than yours than you'd ever think. My folks aren't exactly, well..."

"Say no more," Rini waves it off. "Heh... no wonder Saki put us together... she knows her best friends pretty well..."

"Okay, now you're gonna make me sick."

"Heh..."

Rini and Rei: Successful.

"Huh, I wonder what they're talking about?" Akemi ponders, starting into a tub of popcorn. "They're too far away from the cameras..."

"All that matters is that they were successful," you reply, as you make note in your folder.

>These two left alone together is a disaster. They're better suited as part of a larger group.

While it's certainly nice that when push comes to shove these two can put their tempers aside and work together, it's clear that while left alone they'll struggle to do so, even when knowing it to be the right answer. They're better suited in a larger group, with a tactician who can keep them in check. Still... when they do work together, they are a force to be reckoned with.

"Who next?" Akemi asks.

"It's... ha, what a coincidence!" you note. "Isamu and Kosuke!"

>Isamu and Kosuke's trial

"Oh Rini... you're so damn reckless," Kosuke sighs, as he enters the simulation room beside Isamu.

"Ah! Worried for your lady love?" Isamu asks.

Kosuke shakes his head. "Nah, she knows what she's doing... do we have to do this?"

"OF COURSE!" Isamu yells. "Didn't you hear the name of the operation? GET BUFF! A true challenge for a pair of true heroes!"

"Don't lump me in with you," Kosuke sighs. "Well, since you're so eager, maybe you can do all the work? I mean, we're both pretty crummy at fighting, but you can just go all angel mode and finish this quickly, right?"

"Ah, my ultimate form requires vast amounts of concentration, and for me to have pushed my body beyond it's upper limits! As great as the glorious and noble hero Isamu Iori is... I can't go for it right away," Isamu admits, breaking his boisterous character in defeat towards the end of his statement. "And for that, I need your help! The two of us can be the greatest pair, if only we worked-"

"No thanks," Kosuke remarks. "If you can't go angel mode, then whatever. I'll gladly take the loss, whatever gets me back in bed faster."

"Is sleep and relaxation all you can think about?" Isamu asks. "This level of sloth and apathy is not becoming of a hero!"

"Neither is shouting like a child and prancing around with a cape," Kosuke points out. "So I think we can agree that we're both losers. Anyway, who are we up against?"

"Oh, that would be me-gah!"

Takeshi steps out towards the two, but quickly trips on his laces. "Huh?! Now how did those get tied together?"

Takeshi frees himself and stands up, dusting off his pants before placing his hand on the back of his head and chuckling. "Well, I guess I'm your opponent now!"

"Huh..." Kosuke mutters. "We got the janitor. Now that I think about it Isamu, we might actually have this?"

They certainly did not have this.

That's all for tonight! Thanks for playing! Thread will continue tomorrow!

Takeshi smiles and waves at his two competitors, a sword in hand. "Hey guys! How have you been? You been taking your studies seriously? Don't forget to drink plenty of milk!"

"I wonder how he got demoted to Janitor," Kosuke mutters with a sigh. "Well, it looks like Saki doesn't think we can take on any of the bigger fish."

"What?!" Isamu exclaims. "That would be an insult to my heroic spirit, my quest for the greatest challenge-"

"She's right," Kosuke adds.

"Huh?!" Isamu gasps.

Kosuke shakes his head. "This is probably hard for you to accept, but you and I are the scrubs of this class. That doesn't bother me, 'cause I've never tried or cared to be anything else, but you? Something tells me you put a lot more stock in that crap."

"B-but..." Isamu mutters. "I'm Isamu Iori, the-"

"The greatest hero, we know..." Kosuke mutters. "I get the bit you're going for, but how about we cut to the chase and just be thankful Saki gave us something easy to work with?"

"I..." Isamu mutters. "No! It's a hero's duty to give 110% every single time, no matter his opponent!"

"It's not even possible to give that much," Kosuke points out, but it's too late.

"Halt you villainous champion of disposed waste!" Isamu points at Takeshi as he summons his spear. "My name is Isamu Iori, the greatest hero, and I shall vanquish you right here on the battlefield!"

"Oh, cool! Good luck!" Takeshi smiles, as Isamu charges towards him.

"HEROIC SLAAAAAAAAASH!" Isamu yells as he leaps at Takeshi with his spear.

Takeshi leans down to tie his shoe, and Isamu flies overhead, crashing directly into one of the buildings.

"Oops, sorry!" Takeshi yells.

"Oh my god..." Kosuke sighs. "Looks like I'll have to do something. What a bother..."

Kosuke summons his sword and lunges towards Takeshi... who easily steps to the side and grabs Kosuke by the wrist. "Oh hey, trying to sneak up on me?" Takeshi asks. "I'm actually not really sure. You were too loud for it to be a sneak attack, but also way too slow to surprise me. Oh, were you just trying to greet me?"

Kosuke breaks free, and leaps to kick Takeshi in the head... but Takeshi slips and falls out of reach. Kosuke lands on his feet, only to be tripped up as Takeshi rolls on the floor, picking himself off the ground. Takeshi dusts himself off, and seemingly turns and steps on the prone Kosuke's ribs without noticing.

"Oh, sorry!" Takeshi apologises. "Didn't see you there! Here, let me help you up!"

Takeshi grabs Kosuke by the wrist and pulls him up... with enough force to send him crashing into the same building as Kosuke.

"Oh..." Kosuke groans, as he and Isamu pull themselves from the wreckage. "I think I get it now. Takeshi... he's playing us..."

"Hm?" Isamu asks. "Are you to say that our great teacher Takeshi is more intelligent than-"

"Nope, he's still a complete idiot," Kosuke explains. "But... he harnesses that stupidly. It controls him... he's become so used to stumbling around... that he actually has complete control over his clumsiness..."

"I can't say I understand!" the ever dim-witted Isamu replies with a smile.

"It sounds like a damn oxymoron," Kosuke sighs. "But he fights in a way that throws his opponent's off-guard, makes them feel like he's not a threat... makes them instinctively go for openings that aren't really there..."

"Hey, that sounds pretty smart!" Isamu exclaims. "Kosuke Tatsumi, you have quite the mind for combat! Why don't you put it on display more often?"

"... Don't need to," Kosuke explains. "Now... how do we handle this?"

"I guess if I have to do this..." Kosuke mutters. "You sit back, Isamu. I'm gonna fight fire with fire."

Kosuke steps out to challenge Takeshi, beckoning for the teacher to come at him. Takeshi nods and charges at Kosuke... who simply slouches down on the ground, resting on his side as Takeshi goes flying over him. Kosuke places a hand on his chin and lets out a yawn, his laziness playing into his way of fighting. Takeshi spins around and tries to stomp on Kosuke, but Kosuke simply rolls along the floor, avoiding each stomp... until Takeshi trips up, falling into an improvised elbow drop on Kosuke's spine.

Kosuke is pinned down, as Takeshi picks himself up again. "Ah, I see what you were going for... pretty clever! But you can't really rely on gimmicks like that in every situation. Seems to me like you just discovered the easiest thing for you to do, and since it came easy you assumed success would come easy too. But for real success, you have to put a little more effort than that. But... oh well! That's enough lecturing from me! I'm just the janitor!"

With that, Takeshi kicks Kosuke up with his foot, before hitting a roundhouse to Kosuke's face that sends the lazy boy flying and knocks him out cold.

Only then does Takeshi pull out his sword proper, turning to Isamu as he does. "Well... I guess that's one down. How do you want to do this?"

Isamu's eyes widen as he grips his spear, seeing that his partner is already down and out.

Isamu grips his spear tight as he lunges towards Takeshi. Takeshi tumbles back, and Isamu goes flying overhead, but the wannabe hero quickly lands on his feet and tackles Takeshi again, holding his spear sideways to pin Takeshi to the ground.

"Haha!" Isamu exclaims. "I have you now, villain!"

"Huh, looks like you do!" Takeshi smiles. "Good for you! I wasn't expecting you to catch me, if I'm being honest. The fact you managed it makes me very proud!"

"Well, I am the legendary hero Isamu Iori!" He boasts with a proud grin.

Takeshi nods, still pinned down by the throat. "Yeah, you sure are... you know, you were always one of my favourite students, Isamu. Hmm... can I ask, why aren't you using that angel form of yours that I've heard about."

"My mighty and ultimate form doesn't come out until I've been pushed to my absolute limits!" Isamu exclaims. "Only when times are at their darkest, when the lives of myself and the people I love are in danger, does the Golden Champion shine at his brightest!"

"Hmm..." Takeshi thinks it over. "So you unlocked your angel form, a form that relies on being confident and aware of your true self... and you can't activate it at will? Isn't that sort of... pathetic?"

"Hm?" Isamu asks... before Takeshi slips out of his grip. Takeshi spins around, slicing the air with his sword, blasting Isamu with flames in the process.

"Ah, hot!" Isamu exclaims. "When did?"

Takeshi chuckles nervously. "O-oh this? Yeah, my sword gets hotter the longer I hold the hilt. Lucky for me you took the time to boast, huh?"

Isamu's eyes widen in horror as he realises his mistake.

"In fact, I've been holding this for a while now," Takeshi explains. "So let me leave you with a parting message, buddy! Having fun is great, and it's always important to be yourself, but... well, I've seen people die. Friends die. Friends who might not have died if I wasn't always goofing off and bumbling about... my old man used to call me useless. It always made me so angry... but he was right. I was useless. I never really tried, I was too busy being an idiot to realise just the situation I was in..."

"S-sensei?" Isamu mutters. "T-there happen to be a lot of flames around you, and you're kinda... scaring me..."

As the flames swirl around Takeshi as he holds his sword high, his smile fades. "So my advice to you... be yourself, but if you truly want to be a hero, to help the people around you, and if you honestly want to stop being just a pretender, a boy in a cape... then you should grow up."

Isamu doesn't have time to open his mouth before Takeshi lets loose with his ultimate attack, the flames from his sword swirling in a massive spiral towards him.

I disagree. I think its unfair to say the classical ideal of a hero is the wrong path for Isamu to take, just because Takeshi is older and wiser doesnt mean he knows isamu as well as he thinks he does.

If Isamu wasnt totally sure of himself and his path he wouldnt have been able to reach angel form, to take him off that path seems worse than reaffirming that is who he is.

This is Isamu's theme now. No one gets an arguement.

>>2043209
Well the thing is what he says is completly true, the thing is even after all this Isamu still treats everything like a game, Class 3 and Takeshi have seen a bunch of their friends die, thats the reality in the academy, Class 2 has gotten a few close calls through the last year and here we have Isamu still treating everything like a kids game.

I am not saying that Isamu must go full mature but he needs to realize that ot everything will go well all the time only because you really want it.

Isamu can't move. He can't do anything in time as the flames begins to surround him. He can only stand there, wallowing in the realisation that... he's useless. Knowing that no matter what kind of air of bravado he puts on, no matter how much guts he has... he ultimate is just a child who will never grow up. Saki's purpose for this test... just like Kosuke who refuses to get serious in a fight, so two will Isamu never be the serious fighter he dreams he is. Takeshi, despite his bumbling and idiotic nature is able to step up to the plate and become an unsuspecting force to be reckoned with... but they can't. Isamu sheds a tear of frustration as he is swallowed by the flames.

"Oops, i guess I kinda went overboard..." Takeshi admits, scratching the back of his head. "Got a little caught up in teaching a lesson... then again, it's only a simulation, so he shouldn't... be... how is he still standing?"

The smoke clears, as Isamu remains on his feet, breathing heavily... and coated in the armour of The Golden Champion. His arms are thrown up, having taken the full brunt of Takeshi's most powerful attack.

"Huh... would you look at that?" Takeshi smiles. "You actually managed to transform at will. If you hadn't, you would have been completely blown away by my attack!"

"... I'm not strong."

"Huh?" Takeshi mutters.

"I'm not strong," Isamu groans through heavy, exhausted breathes. "I know that... I've never been. Being a hero to me... it's never been about strength. It... it's about the drive. The drive to help people, to be a figure of hope! To inspire others! My meaning in life... it's to be a true hero! But... I'm not strong. And... maybe I never will be... BUT I'LL KEEP TRYING!"

Takeshi pauses, tilts his head to the side, and smiles. "That's what I want to hear. Although... you pulled your armour up too late, didn't you? You're still standing, but I can tell when someone's too hurt to even move."

"It feels like my organs are failing."

"Yeah... it'll do that," Takeshi admits. "Well... it seems like my lesson has motivated you right! I forfeit!"

"You can't forfeit..." Kosuke explains as he picks himself up off the ground. "You're the test. The test can't give up."

"Oh..." Takeshi mutters, before smiling again. "Then I declare this a success!"

"Success conditions were beating you in a fight," Kosuke explains. "By Saki's rules, we failed."

"Oh..." Takeshi mutters. "Welp, then you failed. But... I think this failure is really a success in disguise!"

Takeshi throws the thumbs up as Kosuke lets out a sigh. Isamu chuckles and throws a thumbs up as well, before promptly collapsing.

Kosuke rushes to Isamu side to help him up. "Yo, you okay?"

"No..." Isamu sighs. "But this pain, this failure... it's a blessing."

"Not what I'd call it..."

Isamu nods. "... The legendary hero Isamu Iori is still a work in progress. I see that now. If I wish to be the hero I've always aspired to be... then I have to work. I have to get stronger... I have to grow even more."

"Well... do you mind me joining you in that?" Kosuke asks.

Isamu smirks. "Ah, did my noble speech inspire you too to better yourself in the face of struggles, and now you want to-"

"Nah, I don't want to do anything," Kosuke interrupts. "But... I've got people I need to fight for now. Sometimes, the hard work might be actually worth it."

Isamu smiles. "Spoken like a true hero."

"Nope. Stop that."

Isamu and Kosuke: Failure... technically.

"Wow..." Akemi mutters. "Takeshi sure is strong..."

"I... I wasn't expecting that," you admit. "I hope Isamu's okay... can't imagine his pride is doing very well..."

You shake it off as you turn to your notes on the trial.

While they didn't manage to take down Takeshi... in fact, they didn't even come close. But your main concern is that Isamu and Kosuke wouldn't push themselves in battle, but they've shown that drive here today. It'll take some work to keep them pushing further and bettering themselves, but just setting them on that path can be considered a major success.

"More!" Akemi demands, while grilling up a hot-dog on a barbecue grill you didn't notice her bringing it. "More trials for the trial gods!"

"What?"

"I don't know!" Akemi giggles. "The grill fumes are making me dizzy!"

Next up on the list... Sora and Ken. This should be interesting.

>Sora and Ken's trial

"Umm..." Ken points out, as Sora finds a wall to sit against and meditate. "Shouldn't you be focused on the trial."

Sora closes his remaining eye and lets out a small hum. "Ken, my friend... I have no need to engage in such a trial."

"What, you think you've got nothing to learn?" Ken asks.

"Of course not," Sora explains. "We all have much to learn. But I do not believe anything can be learned from violence. What purpose is there in us to turn our weapons against each-other? Such petty things... fighting your allies is no way to learn."

"So you're just going to leave me to fight this trial myself?"

Sora shakes his head. "I am not forcing anything of anyone. You are welcome to join me and clear your thoughts of all disturbances. What's been on your mind, friend? What is weighing on-"

"Hey cut that out, you're in the middle of a trial here!" Yasutake yells as he slings his blade over his shoulder. "Come on, I'm itching for a fight! Bring it to me!"

Ken lets out a sigh, realising he will likely have to do this on his own.
