They walk out of the school and to the Big Arena. It can hold over 5000 people.
"I heard that each 1st year SS Class member can go against an A-class second year," Tomo said, fixing his glasses.
"Cool." Nichi sounded Like he didn't care at all.
"How are you so calm? We are about to meet the SS class." Then that's when Tomo realized that Tomo was way stronger than the rest of the F class.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But I think he might be overestimating himself a bit." Tomo thought to himself.
The rest of the class looked nervous. The only people who didn't were Nichi and Hatsu.
They went up the stairs to the Entrance of the arena stands and entered.
"Big sis Ishigaaa! Where hereeee!" Tala announced.
All the SS students along with Ishiga were down In the middle of the arena where people would usually fight.
"Hey, Tala! Feel free to sit and I'll be up there in a second!" Ishiga yelled then she looked back at her class.
"You guys relax for a minute." Ishiga moved to where Tala was before anybody could notice.
"Look, those F class idiots. They're so weak it hurts to look at." A girl with blond hair and blue eyes said, crossing her arms. Her name is bitc- I mean Kozoma
"I really don't get why the teacher brought those guys here." This guy's name was Calru. he has piercings on his nose and white hair and always rocks a scarf
"Those guys are talking mess." Nichi whispers to Hatsu.
"Yeah, I know. They don't look like anything special." Hatsu whispers back.
There were only 15 kids in the SS class.
"Ay, you guys shut up before I kick all your asses!" Ishiga yelled at the SS class.
"Sorry about that. Anyway, you're welcome to join or just relax and watch." Ishiga smiled and Looked at Nichi.
"I might as well join," Nichi said, smiling back.
"I guess that makes 2." Hatsu stretched her arms.
"Those guys are insane," Sasha said to her friend.
Nichi and Hatsu hopped from the seats to the Middle of the arena where the rest of the SS class were.
"Yo," Nichi said as him and Hatsu walked up toward the SS class.
"What do you F Class think you're doing?" This guy had long blond hair. His name is Saio
"That's a rude response." Nichi walked until he was almost standing on Saio's foot.
"You trying to start a fight F class?" Saio was taller than Nichi and looked down on him. Suddenly Ishiga stepped in front of both of them.
"Calm down you two." Ishiga pushed them both away.
"That smile that Nichi had just now. It was the same as Tom's." Ishiga thought to herself.
"..." Nichi stared at Ishigas face.
"What?"
"I just noticed how pretty you are. How about I take you on a date sometime?" Nichi smiled and put his hands in his pocket.
"You wouldn't be able to handle me, boy." Ishiga smiled and looked down on him.
"I guess you're right... Hey, do you want this back?" Nichi showed her the Heavenly Demon ring. She looked at her hand and noticed that it was gone.
"Guess I let my guard down around you too much." Ishiga held out her hand and Nich put the ring on her.
All the SS class were shocked at what just happened.
"I'm slick just like my grandfather." Nichi dropped his guard completely.
Hatsu just chuckled.
"Alright everybody let's get started! Everybody grab a training partner!" Ishiga yelled to the class.
Nichi tried to go for Hatsu but she was stopped by a guy and Nich was stopped by Saio.
"I think we got off on the wrong foot. Let's be partners." Saio reaches out his hand.
"Sure." Nichi shakes his hand and Saio squeezed his hand.
"Strong grip bro." Nichi smiled casually and let go.
"Alright If everybody got their partners!? Good Let's get started! First, a little hand to hand combat warm up!"
Everybody spread out.
"I'll go easy on you," Saio said.
"Thanks."
"Everybody can start!" Ishiga announced.
Saio rushed at Nichi. And Nichi just stood there.
"Man this guy is really slow. Guess I don't want to blow my cover of being weak now though. Guess I'll just take the punch." Nichi thought to himself.
Saio threw one punch and hit Nichi right in the face and sent him backward ten feet.
"Nichi!! Are you oook!!?" Tala yelled from the stands.
"...I know he was holding back but damn that was weak. Guess I better acted like I'm hurt." Nichi laid on the ground with his eyes closed.
"I guess I put too much strength into that. As slick as his grandfather hu? His grandfather must have been a clumsy idiot." When Saio said that Nichi's eyes opened and he sat up. Everybody was watching them.
"What did you say about my grandpa?" Nichi didn't look like he was kidding anymore.
"Oh, so you can take a punch after all." Saio smiled.
"Ay, you blond hair banana fuckboy. What did you just say about my grandpa?" Nichi's eyes went dim as he started walking toward Saio.
Hatsu and Ishiga noticed it.
"That's enough. I can't have you disabling my student." Ishiga moved faster than what everybody could see and whispered that to Nichi.
"...I guess. But no matter what I do now my plan is mapped out. If that guy pisses me off again. Knock me out." Nichi calmed down and got control.
Ishiga took a sigh of relief.
"Looks like Ms.Ishiga didn't want to see him die." Saio cockily spoke.
"Saio you need to hold back more when you fight F class!" Ishiga yelled at him.
"Your grandpa was a great man. Knowing him he would have beat Saio up for saying something about his dead son. So it's understandable how you feel. But you can't fight him right now. try to hold it in." Ishiga whispered, then walked away.
"She's right I lost my cool. I need to be better than that. I guess this will be good training after all." Nichi thought to himself.
"Alright everybody, line up!" Ishiga yelled.
"Because we got two F class students training with us we won't be going too hard today. A group of 6 will be focused on Iracuj control and the rest of you will be doing physical exercise. Get to it!"
Nichi and Hatsu ended up doing Iracuj control. They both sat down next to each other.
"You almost lost your cool back there," Hatsu whispered to Nichi.
"Yeah but, No matter what I do here. I'm going to get the same end goal. But I need to learn how to keep control."
"The guy that I was sparing with was way nicer than the one you got. But weaker as well."
"Good to know." Nichi was taking in every bit of information he could get.
Nichi and Hatsu released an almost unnoticeable amount of Iracuj while they were focused. On purpose, of course.
"This is super boring...I wonder what everybody is doing on the stands." Nichi looked at his class.
"They're staring at me and Hatsu. I guess they're still shocked about us training with them. Guess it doesn't matter. So boring. Screw this!" Nichi thought to himself.
"Welp I'm done." Nichi stood up and started walking back to the stands.
"Where are you going?" Ishiga asked.
"I have stuff to do so I'll be heading out. See ya." Nichi waved goodbye and walked into the stand and went up to Tala.
"Hey, Tala. Me and Tomo have to go do stuff you mind if we leave?"
"Go right ahead." Tala smiled like always.
"Let's go Tomo," Nichi said as he started walking out of the arena.
"Here I come."
"So where are we going?"
"Your training has to start now Tomo. I see those guys and to be honest with you none of them are special. I can get you to B class. But only if you start training now."
"Alright, I'm ready!" Tomo said, nodding his head so hard he almost knocks his glasses off.
Nichi brought Tomo to the spot he found last night.
"Here is where you will be training. So first things first...We need to work on how physically weak you are. So before each time we start to train our warm-up will be 50 diamond push-ups. 200 crunches. 150 body twist. And 100 suicides." All those workouts fell on Tomo like weights.
"That seems overkill doesn't it?"
"Tomo if you want to get strong, you're going to have to put in the effort. Or get bullied for the rest of the time you are here."
Those words snapped Tomo out of it. "Your right. I'm ready." A determined look lit in Tomo's eyes that made Nichi smile.
"Good! Now let's get to it! 50 diamond push up!" Nichi got on the ground to do them as well.
It took them 4 hours for Tomo to get through all the warm-up.
"Take a rest. The warm-up will get easier. Keep pushing." Nichi sat beside Tomo. Tomo was dripped in sweat on gasping for air.
After 5 minutes.
"Alright now that you are ready. I will be helping you build your Iracuj. Can you tell me something?" Nichi asked.
"What is it?"
"How many fights have you been in that you've almost died from?"
"I haven't been in anything like that! I was beaten up a lot for being weak. But never almost killed."
"Well, today you will. I'm going to give some of the best training. Sparing. You better get ready because I'm gonna beat you worse than anyone has before." Nichi cracked his neck.
"How is this going to help!?" Tomo looked scared.
"This is called Mor's boost. It hurts like hell but it steadily raises your power. So you ready?"
Tomo stood up and got ready. "This is going to suck but yes."
"Then come at me Tomo!"
Tomo ran at Nichi and threw a punch at his face. Nichi easily dodged and sent a punch right into Tomo's gut and took all the wind out of him. Then he grabbed Tomo's arm and flipped him on his back then stomped on his chest.
"You left yourself open too much." Nichi started healing Tomo. But Nichi's healing other people's ability wasn't that good so it took an hour to heal Tomo.
"You fully healed now." Nichi healed him with Kin which expanded Tomo's power. Nichi by almost dying than being healed Kin boosts your power. Getting Mor's boost. But people with a High amount of Iracuj get a boost after every fight naturally.
"Let's go five more rounds then we'll stop," Nichi said.
"Alright, I'm ready." Tomo got up but didn't look even close to quitting which made Nichi happy.
"This guy is a different person when he's training me." Tomo thought to himself.
As he said they went 5 more rounds, Tomo almost dying each time.
After training...
"Welp I got beat up a lot today." Tomo was laying on the ground.
"Yeah, but you're definitely getting stronger. Enough of the training talk. It's already dark so we won't be able to go shopping or look around. So how about we train hard this week then rest the weekend." Nichi helped Tomo up.
"Sounds good to me." Tomo went and picked up his glasses. Then they left. Nichi saw Argenti in the same spot they met the first time.
"Hey, Argenti," Nichi said, walking up.
"you left class early today."
"Did you come to the class looking for me? Sorry about that. Me and my friend had something to do." Nichi said, bent down a little, and let Argenti jump on his back.
"So are you two dating?" Tomo asked.
"Nope but I do think she's cute and cool. Mabey will end up together one day." Nichi smiled.
"I have no comment."
"You guys are both weird it kinda works." Tomo wasn't a bad wingman.
"Naw I can't settle right now. I am a young boy! And I still got my V card! Maybe I'll have a harem one day. A dream come true." Nichi started fantasizing.
"I think you might be asking for too much." Tomo sighed.
"Maybe! But! I won't know until I try!!" Nichi raised his fist in the air with a determined look.
They walked up to their room...
"Argenti you can come in," Nichi said, taking off his shoes.
"Alright." Argenti walked in and took off her shoes.
Nichi walked into the kitchen.
"There's a Fridge. And there's food! Ight I'm finna cook you guys can relax...Tomo why don't we have a couch?" Nichi looked at him from the kitchen.
"I never got a chance to get one. In this place, you have to order the couch on this thing called a phone. But you can only get one of those if your B rank or above. So we would have to go and fight to get a couch from the store directly."
"Damn F class has it tuff. Guess we're going to go have to beat the shit out of somebody for a couch then." Nichi started pulling out something to cook.
"I don't want Argenti sitting on the floor each time we have her over," Nichi said, flipping a knife.
Nichi was moving fast around the Kitchen.
"Are you really as weak as you say?" Argenti asked Nichi. Nichi stopped.
"Well to be honest. I'm much stronger than F class. But I want to stay in F class for my own reasons. But you guessed that when you first met me." Nichi grinned.
"...You knew I knew?"
"Of course I did but I like having you around so I didn't care Argenti." Nichi started moving around the kitchen fast again.
"This boy...how strong is he really?" Argenti thought to herself.
30 minutes later...
"It's done! Come and get your plates." Nichi walked past them with his food as they walked into the kitchen. The food was fried chicken and baked beans.
They both got their plate and sat down in a circle.
Tomo took a bite of his chicken and when he did his eyes lit up. Argenti took a bite as well and it was so good she almost made a facial expression.
"Is it good?" Nichi asked.
"This is incredible! And I thought the food in the cafeteria was good!" Tomo took another bite and smiled.
"I agree. It's good." you wouldn't be able to tell that if she never said that.
"Thanks." Nichi smiled big.
"Argenti because you already know my secret. I will fill you in on the rest of it." Nichi explained that he was training Tomo.
"I see. I want to know where you do this training."
"I'll show you tomorrow when me and Tomo go there. So wait till then."
Argenti nodded.
"...Tomo, very important question." Nichi looked serious.
"W-what?" Tomo looked nervous.
"How do you feel about manga?"
"It's not bad I guess. I don't dislike it but I never really got a chance to read it. Mostly everybody in class F came from what used to be the slums. We never got those types of privileges when we were younger."
"I-is their manga in this school." Nichi was afraid of the answer.
"There is only one series. And it's named Berserk."
"Ah hell NAH! I'm going to figure out how to get more manga in this school! That is my next goal!" Nichi stood up and put his heart into those words.
"I shall help you in this." Argenti stood up as well.
Tomo smiled "I like this goal. So why not." Tomo stood up as well.
1 hr later...
"Argenti, Are you staying the night?" Nichi asked.
"Yes."
"Alright you can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the floor. You can wear one of my shirts to sleep in." Nichi walked into his room and handed her a shirt.
"Thank you." Nichi left the room to let Argenti change.
As soon as he shut the door Nichi immediately got down on the floor to look under the door.
He saw the made outfit drop and he could see her body. Then he noticed something. A swirl of wind tattoo on her thigh.
"What is that?" Nichi thought to himself. His pervert agers calmed down after that and it became curiosity
Then Tomo's door to his room opened and Nichi quickly got away from the door. And was laying down on the other side of the room.
"So she is staying the night? If you guys do it could you keep it down?" Tomo asked.
"We're not going to do it. I'm too sleepy."Nichi said.
"If she wants that though then I wouldn't mind." But what Nichi thought.
"Alright goodnight." Tomo walked back into his room.
Nichi shut his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning...
Nichi woke up and felt heavier. But a familiar type of heavier. He looked down and saw Argenti resting on him with that shirt he gave her.
"So this is how it feels to wake up with a woman on your chest. It's so nice." Nich thought to himself.
Argenti started waking up. Her silver hair gleamed with the sun that gently shined through the curtains. She lifted off Nichi and sat up slowly and wiped her eyes.
"Just as I thought sleeping with you made me sleep better." Argenti's face didn't seem cold but she still didn't show any emotions.
"Umm. Thanks, I guess." Nichi sat up as well.
"Welp we're not late yet but we should get to the school." Nichi walked into Tomo's room and all you heard was a slap followed by a yell.
5 mins later...
"Did you really have to slap me awake!?" Tomo said as they ran to their class.
"It woke you up," Nichi said chuckling.
"It did seem to be very effective." And of course, Argenti was on Nichi's back.
"Screw you guys!" Tomo yelled at them.
They made it to class. Nich set Argenti down and waved goodbye and went into class.
"Alright class as you probably know the Rank Festival is in 1 month!" Tala jumped excitedly.
"What's a Rank Festival?" Nichi asked.
"Well it's a festival but it's also a time you can go up a class by beating people in the arena. Now is there anybody that would like to join to higher their class?" Tala looked around the class.
"I got a question. If you do beat somebody do you have to move up to the next class?" Nichi asked.
Tala put one finger on her chin. "Well, I guess there is no rule saying you have to."
"Alright then. I want to join the festival!" Nichi said standing up.
Tala looked happy "My first student to try! I'm so proud! Anybody else?"
"I will join as well." Hatsu raised her hand and smiled.
Nichi looked at Tomo. And stared hard.
"I-I will be joining as well!" Tomo said, noticing Nichi.
"Three students!? This is a great day!" Tala jumped around.
"Tomo are you sure about this?" A guy asked him from behind. He had red hair and red eyes.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Tomo smiled.
"I'm the strongest in the F class. Guess I can't let you do this by yourself. I will be joining as well!" The red hair boy said.
"That's 4!! You guys are gonna make me cry!" Tears of joy of course.
"Alright if there is nobody else I will get down to teaching! Can't have you guys weak when the festival is coming up!" Tala was in the best mood they had seen so far.
After class...
"Hatsu Tomo, let's go," Nichi said, walking out of the classroom. Then he felt a girl jump on his back.
"Sup Argenti," Nichi didn't even need to ask.
"Hello."
"Alright everyone here. let's go." Nichi took them to the training spot.
"This school really is too big," Hatsu said looking around.
"Alright, Tomo, because we got Hatsu here you're going to be training even harder. So let's get to work!" Nichi shouted at Tomo. Tomo nodded and started the warm-up.
2hr and 30min later.
"That took less time than last time Tomo. Good job. Take a little rest and me and you will start sparing. I'll be doing more damage now that Hatsu is here because she is better at healing than I am."
"Right!" Tomo was starting to respond like a soldier.
When Nichi started sparing he noticed Tomo got faster.
"Not bad Tomo. You've gotten stronger already. I'm not going to tell you that though. You'll notice." Nichi thought to himself as sweep kicked Tomo's leg and made him lose balance then punched him 3 times in the face then sent a chest shot directly to Tomo's chest and almost killed him. Hatsu hurried up and started healing Tomo.
"You and dad really don't know how to hold back. In terms of mercy." Hatsu let out a sigh.
"He's fiiine. Don't worry. He's definitely going to be stronger by the time the Festival comes." Nichi smiled and sat down,
5min later.
"I'm ready again," Tomo said, bouncing around.
"Alright then let's do this." Nichi started moving faster and started throwing harder blows. This same training would last for 2 weeks. So 2 weeks later at the training field.
"Alright, Tomo. Let's see what you got." Nichi bounced around.
"I'm ready." Tomo got in a fighting-ready stance.
Tomo rushed at Nichi and spun and lifted his left leg like he was about to kick but then stomped it down and pushed off it and jumped in the air and tried to spin hook kick Nichi with his right. Nichi ducked under and tried to punch Tomo in the stomach but he blocked but the punch still sent Tomo sliding backward on his feet.
"He blocked! Looks like I'm going to have to get a little harder on him." Nichi thought to himself.
Nichi rushed at Tomo and stepped on Tomo's foot so Tomo couldn't jump out the way when he tried.
"Let me show you how brutal I can be if I want." Nichi's smile along with his words sent chills down Tomo's spine.
Nichi punched Tomo in the throat then grabbed him by the shirt and headbutted him in the nose causing blood to come out of his nose and mouth. Nichi swiftly moved behind Tomo and kicked him in the back of the leg bringing him to one leg. Nichi grabbed Tomo's hair.
"There are no rules in a fight," Nichi whispered to Tomo as he pulled his hair.
Nichi then slammed Tomo's face into the ground in the spot where Nichi put a barrier so It was like a super hard stone.
Hatsu rushed over and started healing Tomo.
"He's stronger from when we first started by a long shot," Hatsu said.
"Yep." Nichi sat down.
5min later...
"That's enough sparring for today Tomo. I got something I want to show you." Nichi stood up.
"What is it?" Tomo stood up as well.
Nichi suddenly threw a punch at Tomo and he dodged.
"1 week ago that punch I just threw would have landed you in a casket. You're much stronger now. So for now on, I will not be sparing you."
"Wait this has been sparing me!?" Tomo looked scared and shocked.
"For now on I will be fighting you with street fighting. It's way more brutal than what I have been doing up to this point so prepare yourself. In a street fight, anything goes." Nichi cracked his knuckles.
"Well, at least you're getting stronger." Hatsu tried to cheer Tomo up.
"Yeah. So stop acting like a bitch and stand up." Nichi pulled him off the ground.
"Tomo you know how you could barely use Iracuj at the beginning of this training. Why don't you try now."
Tomo looked at him confused and tired. Then a ball of wind formed in Tomo's hand.
"I-uj- How!?" Tomo didn't even know how he did it.
"You've been getting stronger from the training. I just wanted to show you that." Nichi smiled.
Later at night...
"Catgirl's toughs would feel like sandpaper. Why would I want that! Dog girls are better!" Nichi yelled at Tomo.
"I don't care! I would still do it!" Tomo yelled back.
Argenti didn't get why they were arguing over if cats or dogs were better.
Then suddenly they heard a knock on the door.
"We'll settle this later bitch." Nichi said walking to the door.
Nichi opens the door.
"Hello-" Suddenly a body fell on Nichi's foot. It was the red hair boy from the class!
Meanwhile at Hatsu dorm. Hatsu just finished making dinner.
"Foods done!" Hatsu said loud enough for Clowy to hear through her closed door.
Clowy looking like a zombie walked out of her room and grabbed a plate.
"Today we have mashed potatoes and gravy and corn with fried chicken."
"Thanks...Hey. Do you got any brothers or sisters?" Clowy asked.
"Yeah, my brother Nichi. Why? Come sit on the couch with me before you answer." Hatsu grabbed her plate and walked past her and sat down. Clowy followed.
"If one day he was to forget about you...what would you do?"
"Weird question but I guess I would start by introducing myself to him again. Tell him some things I know about him and go from there." Hatsu took a bite of her chicken.
"I see. Thanks. Anyway, how was your day?"
Congratulations...
