He looked like a normal teenager if anything else and Shirou didn't feel any great sign of mana on him. There were options to investigate right but that was an invasion of privacy and it was not like it was anything urgent.
It may be that he has some kind of bloodline or talent. Checking the uniform Shirou couldn't find the pin that would mark Issei as someone who knew about the moonlit world. In light of that Shirou would refrain from talking with him about it, instead he was going to ask Rias first.
Looking around, Shirou placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Issei, please control yourself. People are watching." The last part he whispered, it was enough.
"You are right Shirou, thank you." His friend showed his discipline by turning back to the other Issei and… turning around, deciding to not bother. "Let's go Shirou, we still need to find you a club."
"Oi! Is he- Is he ignoring me?" The other Issei was getting frustrated. "You can't ignore me like that!"
"I can and I will!" The black haired continued his march but that hurt the brown haired pride who decided to follow.
"Now listen here!"
What followed next is Shirou looking at the tents trying to find a club while the Isseis and the others discussed. One Issei preaching restraint, control and a model life example while the other arguing the need for one to follow their desires and dreams, to be free and enjoy their lives, while his friends gave more and more ammunition.
Shirou didn't have anything to say, he agreed with both sides to an extent. One has to have restraint on certain things but he also could see the need to follow one's own wishes once in a while.
It is the main reason why he wasn't going to join the kendo club. He was good but it was not necessary anymore and he wanted to do other stuff, he just didn't know what yet; at the moment he was trying the sewing club but it was not for him.
All the while the others kept debating and most of the people just went around them, many girls looking disgusted about some of the themes. Issei, his friend not the new one, may have troubles joining the council of this school if he doesn't let it go.
"Woah." Someone collides with him but Shirou didn't lose his balance, the person, another student with black hair and a forgettable face just says. "Sorry!" And starts to run again. Now that he notices there were a lot of people running, all in the same direction.
"What the hell is happening?" Motohama asked. Their debate was forgotten as they also noticed many of the tents getting empty, people looking at their cellphones and then rushing to somewhere.
"Don't know." Something Shirou knew is that whatever was happening was going to stop his quest of finding a club for himself.
"Let's check it out guys!" Issei, the brown haired one, ran ahead and his friends followed.
"I apologize for my loss of composure Shirou… it was uncalled for." His friend said, bowing his head.
"It's fine, I get it, you were frustrated. Don't beat yourself over it." Shirou gave him a smile and a pat on the back to show his support.
"Should we go check that out? There is no one else around for you to ask about a club."
"Yes, let's." He really hoped Liz wasn't lifting a motorcycle over her head or something.
They walked at a steady pace and heard a crowd cheering. There were many people there, students and teachers alike, watching something in a huge circle. The more they approached the more he recognized the sounds among the cheers, it was the noise of wood swords trading blows… until one met the face of an opponent throwing the helmet he was using in the air for all to see.
"I doubt we can pass all these people." Issei commented and Shirou agreed, looking to his left he saw the company they had before crawling to the floor to get closer.
"Whatever this is, it can't last forever. Maybe we should check-"
"SHIROU!" He heard a voice he was hoping to not hear at least until after today, he really didn't want to have this conversation.
"Tiger." And there was the woman herself, dressed in her usual striped shirt and pants.
"DON'T CALL ME TIGER!" He said softly but the woman must have developed her instincts to hear it. "I'm so happy you are in Kuoh too! Most of the club is also here!
'Oh boy! Not looking forward to that conversation at all!' He thinks resigned. There would be no running and he will have to face the consequences of his decision like a man.
"Issei-san I'm also glad to see you!" Fujimura Taiga, the Tiger of Fuyuki said with a smile.
"I am happy to see you as well Fujimura-sensei." The reply also came with a bow of respect. "Could you please inform us of what is happening here?"
"AH! That is right! Shirou!" She grabs him and starts pulling him with her to the front of the crowd.
"Whoa, whoa,whoa! Wait a minute! Taiga-sensei!" But she ignored his pleas.
"We have no time! The pride of the kendo club is at stake and you are our only hope!" That statement made no sense to him.
Making her way through the crowd Shirou is brought to the front where a fight was happening. With minimal equipment but still enough to avoid much damage there were three members of the kendo club charging at a single woman all armed with proper kendo swords, the shinai. She had her hair in a long ponytail, shorter than Akeno's but still considerable, her hair had two stripes of red, she had sharp features, purple eyes and she was dressed in the male uniform of the academy that did little to hide her form and beauty.
Her eyes were purple and she looked… disappointed and a little bit annoyed. There wasn't a single protection on her body with the exception of the uniform that was neatly in place.
The kendo club members charged but even if they advanced together two hung back and let the more forward one attack first. The girl rolled her eyes and easily blocked the strike, redirecting the shinai aside easily and hitting the first opponent in the head. In an official competition that was enough but the force she used threw her opponent to the ground. Shirou could hear a girl's voice moaning in pain.
Another one charged, they were making a terrible mistake. It was nice they were trying to keep it fair but that was not going to cut against such an opponent. The fact that the girl looked frustrated just meant they were wasting their time. She didn't want fair play, that was defeating all the points of the exercise.
