The Noon was ripe and new, with the sun hanging over Equestria. Nagisa slowly stretched his left arm and shoulder and rotated it as he strolled through the hospital outdoor areas. Now that the large shoulder cast is gone, and his recovery is getting better by the day, he was no longer bedridden and was allowed to give his legs a workout for a few hours. That means he can explore the hospital to his heart's content, and this spot was definitely his go to place!
"Ahh..." He takes a whiff of fresh air, "it's great to be standing tall again! Don't worry class, I'm coming back as soon as possible!"
"Mr Shiota?" A nurse called from a window,
"Uh, yeah?" Nagisa called back,
"You have a message for your eyes only, we have a laptop prepped and ready in your room."
"Who's it from?"
"A close friend of yours. I believe her name is Yada?"
"I see!" Nagisa answered, wondering what she has in store, "I'll be on my way!"
Navigating his way back to his room, he sees the laptop, and for once, it's not on the bed table, but the nearby table and chair. Logging into his email once more, he looked through Yada's email.
To: shiotanagisa@chsmailoffice.com
From: yadatoka@chsmailoffice.com
Subject: Training time!Hey Nagisa!
See? I know how to type English too!
The Club decided to make today's meeting stretch out through the entirety of Lunchtime. The Second Half is going to resort to contest preparation, and for the first half, well... Let's just say Justice-Kun is closely being evaluated by the school once again, and aside from being part of the Neighponese Police, he's also having his 'Olympic running' skills being reviewed! So for now, he's still a visitor, but he can be a possible P.E. Teacher! But he's going to be their 'teacher' for the first half of lunchtime.
I don't know when that man's going to come over for a fight by the way. Poor fellow, let's hope we can get rid of that thing for good (and yes, we took that test too, we know what to do when he's dazed). I've been filming them secretly, but it's not like I'm going to put it on the internet, so it is for your eyes ONLY. Otherwise, it's going to harm the newborn trust between me and them... I need you to review them and see what Justice-Kun can do to further improve their training.
Anyhoo, by the time this email has been sent to you, it should be in the second-half of our lunchtime. Also, hope your shoulder can heal quick!
Loving regards
Yada
P.S. Just so you know, I've also established a small business territory while I'm here too! But such trades and plans shall remain secret. But from that, I have a cute surprise for you and mostly the students, give or take a fortnight!
"Hmm" Nagisa hummed with interest. Moving the mousepad, he moved towards the video file named,
Training for Justice.m4a
"Let's see how you guys go!" Nagisa shrugged as he opened the video.
"One! Two! Three!" The club members chanted with each count, they swung the rubber knives through the air in front of them.
"Like your studies, learning how to wield a knife can make or break your performance for important tests." Kimura instructed, "you've got to give it lots of effort, otherwise, the price to pay is worse than failing or redoing a grade."
"Huh..." Fluttershy effortlessly swung her knife down. Her mind going through what she had done on the day against that man no doubt. Though Nagisa was severely going through pain, he was sure that he saw that face when she sliced off that tentacle. Thankfully it wasn't there now.
"Hup!" Thunderlane was a bit more aggressive and forceful with his knife swings. Nagisa chuckled, looks like he hasn't even wielded a knife before. He always liked to talk tough, but this is definitely a way to show that he backs up this talk.
Then a few of the students caught his eye: Soarin, Flash, and Cloudchaser. For Cloudchaser, she seems to spin her knife constantly and is quite confident with her slashing. Is it a habit that Cloudchaser always likes to spin her knife around? It's not going to be effective when against enemies, but there are ways...
Soarin. Now he's not that good when it comes to knifework it seems. His lower body seems powerful, but it doesn't look like the same for his upper body, especially his upper limb muscles. He's going to need a lot of hand muscle and arm muscle training if he's ever going to stab someone or even connect an attack.
Now Flash... Flash is quite interesting. He seems to adopt a martial stance whenever he holds the knife. Another force of habit? Also, he seems to like swinging his other arm or even hold the knife with two hands. Hmm...
The second half was managing and learning how to fire a pistol. Ever since Ritsu's first sightings in Equestria, there had been a development of new weapons for the Anti-Sensei Firearms, which were known to have very similar designs from real life guns.
For one, the original M1911 Handgun had been replaced by a less powerful, swift and mobile handgun for reduction of collateral damage: The Beretta M9.
And in another case, the original M4 Carbine rifle is also replaced by the standard AR15 rifle for a more long-ranged approach.
And despite the entire antimatter incident being over, the R&D of Anti-Sensei weapons has grown larger, looking into various other weapon designs for Shotguns, Sniper weapons, sub-machine guns, heavy weaponry, Melee weapons and even secondary equipment such as the many types of grenades, traps and others. This was all in preparation in the case any other country could discover such things about Korosensei and offer these weapons and weaknesses to them as foreign aid. Well here's the foreign aid alright, except that Equestria hasn't requested any, and the aid was passed down to young students rather than soldiers.
Nagisa watched as handgun training involved the usual target practice, with a change in distance and range. Though most were able to hit the target, that aim began to waver as the students come to the complication of changing positions. Some began to fire wildly, and others began to miss.
The results of one student, however, had accuracy and consistency almost nailed for the three distances of close, mid and long range. Nagisa watched closely as Kimura shook hands with Flash Sentry. Military training had a really big impact on him after all.
Other students that caught his eye was also the testing of Roseluck. Her close-quarters distance is well above average for both accuracy and consistency. For one, Nagisa hasn't made a profile on the beret-wearing student, so it's definitely something to note down.
The next is Big Macintosh. He had average results in Close-Quarters and Mid-Range firing. His Long-Range shots, however, were quite accurate but weren't so very consistent. Hearing that Big Macintosh and his family are ranch farmers, hunting or dealing with rifles could come up as a reason for his aim.
And finally is Flitter. Her close-range shots were above average, her mid-shots, below average. But it wasn't the accuracy that interested Nagisa, but rather how long she took. She took longer than all of the students between each fire, and her pulsating body shows that she focused on her breathing rather than aim. Whatever she had done, she was able to gain an above average score in the long-range test than the majority of the club members, though a distance below Big Macintosh and even more so below Flash.
But that's not to say there was any concern for the students, Fleetfoot had the worst scores overall. Her close-quarters firing was below average, and her performance became even worse as she fired further and further away from the target, with only one nailing the side of the target at long-range.
Nagisa took everything he had seen. This class was definitely not prepared for this sort of thing, and yet... They have potential as much as flaws in their initial stance. Not to worry, he has a plan to fix the works, he's just got to write it down immediately--
*Grumble* went Nagisa's stomach.
Change of plans, he should have some lunch first, but he'll make sure the idea is still fresh in his mind. Wondering where he can find some paper, he strolled off to the Hospital's mess hall.
Many minutes after sending that mail, Yada turned her attention to the gun and knife-wielding club now taking their delicate times to start doing some arts and crafts. The class was all introduced to one of Neighpon's interesting and beautiful art of Paper Folding, otherwise known as Origami. Starting off with the basics and terminologies of paper folding and the examples of the things that can be made, the club started from making simple items such as envelopes, easy party-like hats, to more complex hats such as a army cap, a crown, a bishop's hat, and even a paper fan of their own. Some found great interest in this, while others thought it too intricate and complex. For that, Yada also presented them better ideas, reading the stories of various Neighponese figures or lifestyles, and for once, Thunderlane was actually interested.
"So let me get this straight. This 'Ninja' is a master of stealth, running, and jumping?"
"Yep!" Yada nodded,
"That's fucking awesome!!!" Thunderlane laughed, "that is my shit!"
"Thunderlane!" The Class yelled at his profanity,
"Sorry! Sorry!" Thunderlane raised his hands, "I'll mind myself! I'm just... So excited!"
"Don't worry Thunderlane," Flash replied, "I understand you say that because it's a form-- Well, your form of giving praises and compliments of the strongest level, given how 'strong' the word is."
"Ah, so you do understand!" Thunderlane pointed out, "kinda weird for you of all people to do that though..."
"Profane language is common, especially in Military Camp." Flash explained, "you'd hear a waterfall of those words after excruciating exercises. I'm well aware that this is how they express their pain and frustration, no matter how unnecessary it is."
"Military camp? So you're a soldier's boy." Big Mac noted, "that explains yer shootin' skills. Ah guess practicin' on cans, birds and predators ain't nothing compared to what you do."
"I'd say you're quite a shot yourself! You practice much?" Flash asked,
"Not really these days, since you've got the city folks yammerin' at you fer killin' feral critters. Ey! They invade our farm, ruin our crops, kill some our beloved livestock, the things that keep all a humanity livin'. Ya think ah'm jus goin' to let 'em go scot-free? Gotta protect the stuff you care about or are important to yer life."
"Well, soldiers claim actual lives in war." Flash calmly answered, "though declaration of war is meant for higher-ups, the soldiers have their personal reasons for why they would pick up the gun, kill and risk getting killed. Possibly the same reasons why you hunt."
"Huh, you really are a military boy. Granted, some feral animals can make great companions, but that's jus' me. It wouldn't be right to catch and domesticate them. Animals are smart as we are: They decide whether they want to live in the wilds or live alongside us. 'Sides, Winona's a great companion as she's a great friend."
"It's great to know that you've got loved ones still living with you."
"Enough talk." Big Mac sighed, picking up a wooden katana, "why don't start our practice fer the contest?"
"Very well," Flash replied, picking up his own wooden katana, "how does it go again?"
"Just find a good stance to start off with." Big Mac instructed as he placed one leg back, his sword to his hip, and rotated his upper body to a sideways stance.
"Hey! Isn't that a quick-draw sword stance?" Kimura pointed out, "Iaidō?"
"Eeyup." Big Mac nodded, "family secret."
"Neighpon sounds like a wonderful place to live in." Fluttershy remarked as she fiddled with her phone, "are there plenty of animals?"
"Plenty! Wild and domestic! If you're wondering about livestock, we do have plenty of cows!" Yada walked over,
"Oh yeah, speaking of which, I was wondering about the kimono, was that fight really necessary?"
"Bocsánat? (Sorry?)" Yada asked "oh! What happened yesterday! Well... Let's just say that you know that something isn't worth it if it gets too risky!"
"Oh, I understand that entirely, yay for Flitter to get the kimono. Besides that, I've actually been researching around the Kimonos before you came here."
"And?"
"I'm not sure if you're able to help me with this..." Fluttershy showed an image of the kimono she found yesterday on her phone,
"Hey, that's a nice pick!" Yada complimented, looking back and forth from the cloth and the student, "the colours fit you well!"
"Yeah, well here's the thing..."
"You want it?" Yada asked, "an authentic one like this is quite pricey!"
"I have a friend who's a great seamstress and she is willing to make something new, but we definitely don't have the materials necessary..."
"If it's materials you want, then it's a lot cheaper and simpler!" Yada laughed,
"You can provide the materials?" Fluttershy gasped with rising joy,
Yada winked, "I'm a businesswoman! Fashion, food, housing, as well as the legal, religious/moral, medical influences behind it, I make sure I understand or have knowledge about it. I can easily acquire those materials for your friend!"
"Oh thank you so much! Listen, If there is any sort of repay--"
"Oh, it's on the house for you and your friend. I'll send the bill to Nagisa!"
"Then I'll definitely insist on reimbursing you with that fee..." Fluttershy nervously chuckled, confused on whether she should laugh or not.
"Haa..." Flash growled as he swung his sword,
"Hoooaa..." Big Mac growled as he swiftly drew the sword from behind,
"Hah!" The boys furiously swung their wooden swords against each other. The clash of wood created an echoing shockwave that shook the entire classroom and the ground, along with the realistic sound effect of destruction and the ear-splitting scream of students all around.
"Now that," Nurse Redheart watched with awe, "was dramatic!"
"Umm..." Flash stopped for a moment, trying to mentally transcribe what had happened. The shaking of the ground, the sound of destruction and the screams of students continued way after the clash. Something tells him that this wasn't part of the show.
*Ring! Ring! Ring!* The school bell abruptly rang three times, a small interval of silence between each ring.
"A lockdown!?" Soarin blurted with shock.
"Everyone get under your tables and remain silent!" Yada firmly instructed as she rushed to the door to turn out the lights then joined Kimura under the teacher's desk.
"Hmm..." Kimura passively took a whiff, "you smell nice today Yada."
"Save the lovely compliments for when we get past this lockdown!"
"What's going on?" Flitter whispered once the screaming has died down.
"Your attention please." The intercom rang out, "Your attention, please. This lockdown is not a drill. A very dangerous man is standing on the school grounds causing destruction and terror. Everyone please enter your nearest room, hide down there and stay silent."
"There's your answer." Roseluck answered, "this is the real thing!"
"Who in the hell would want to pick a bone with a school like this?" Thunderlane moaned,
Yada, Kimura, and a few of the students widened their eyes. Oh no... This was not good...
"Kimura..." Yada whispered, "I want you to look out of the window. Is it... Him?"
Without a word, Kimura slowly sneaked to the one-way windows and slowly raised his head to see the outside, to take up everything that he can see.
"Well?" Yada asked,
"He's uh... Smashed down quite a lot of the paved walkways and..." Kimura described, "... He's cracking his knuckles as we speak."
"It's him..." Fluttershy spoke, "he's come back..."
"We have just received more information regarding the assailant's demands. An act of revenge he says. He seeks one of our teachers that have done him wrong."
"He's looking for Sensei..." Fluttershy continued,
"We will address the mentioned teacher at hand, and will come to negotiations. In the meantime, I want all of you to remain in lockdown." The intercom went silent again.
A few minutes later, a knock came on the classroom's door. Yada slowly trotted over, looked at who was knocking and let the Vice-Principal in.
"Vice-Principal Luna." Yada bowed,
"Ms Toka." Luna greeted back, "and students of the Special Tutorship Club. Thou are aware that thy know of the situation?"
"It's that criminal from two weeks ago right?" Cloudchaser asked, "and he's hunting down Mr Shiota?"
"He also mentioned that Mr Shiota also had 'gazelles' by his side. We think thou know who they are Flash and Thunderlane."
The two boys winced.
"Surely thy haven't notified your friends about it?" Luna asked,
"No, we haven't told our friends," Fluttershy responded, "on the other hand, all members of the Special Tutorship Club knows the truth."
Luna's face turned into a bigger concerned frown. "Mr Shiota told us that this man has struck him down for trying to protect our students. We know that Flash and Thunderlane are two of them. Are there any more?"
"Those who initially joined the Club in the first week." Fleetfoot answered, "which are Soarin, Fluttershy, and I. We told Cloudchaser and Fleetfoot about what happened, and Redheart found out from Mr Shiota in the hospital. We haven't told Big Mac and Roseluck the whole story though, the reason why Mr Shiota was in the hospital."
"You guys..." Roseluck gasped,
"Through hell and back eh? That why our Neighponese teacher ain't here?" Big Mac asked,
"Eeyup." Thunderlane nodded, copying Big Mac's language.
"So all this training wasn't just for self-defence." Roseluck huffed, "it's revenge huh?"
"Mr Shiota fought for us, even when he personally never wanted to return to using his skills of a-- I mean self-defence," Soarin explained,
"Soarin, Mr Shiota has explained his past to us." Luna notified, "feel free to use the term Assassin."
"Holy--" Big Mac gulped,
"And..." Luna turned to Yada and Kimura, "as close allies of Mr Shiota, we assume thou are also assassins?"
The two Neighponese adults turned their heads to the side in guilt and grief,
"Like Mr Shiota, it seems that thy share the same regret of being known as assassins. He told us the story, truly tragic. The mentor you had to kill in order to save the world, the figure who supported thou through your time of suffering and persecution, for being in the class of those doomed to fail. The teacher fought alongside you through your high school life in education, as well as assassination and proved to thy school that this system of persecution is cruel and dark. He gave each and every one of you the chance to fight back and you did, tooth and nail, pen to paper, and bullet to head. Thy fought without the demand for equal treatment, rights or privileges, all thou have achieved then and now, was all by thy own actions and beliefs."
"Wow..." Flitter gasped in awe,
"Thy Korosensei is a magnificent hero." Luna complimented, "we wish that Celestia and us would have had the chance to parley. From where thy are at now, we are sure he's proud of you."
"Of course." Yada replied, "what you said was right on all counts."
"And yes, like Nagisa, we do share regret of our actions as assassins," Kimura added,
"Students of the Special Tutorship Club." Luna turned her attention to the students, "Mr Justice and Ms Yada mean no harm towards any of thou or the school, and the same goes for Mr Shiota. As what their beloved Korosensei has done to them, they will do the same unto you."
"There is one thing though..." Kimura added, "has Nagisa ever told you regarding what he initially wanted to be?"
"Oh, we are well aware." Luna nodded, "he had the skills, the nature, the talent to be an agent of death. Instead, he chose the path that his teacher did, also a former assassin. To help the weak, the lame, the sick, the sinner, any trait that was deemed negative by whoever. For each and every student to turn their weaknesses into their strengths, to not be ashamed or threatened because of it. If thy weaknesses made you what you are today Ms Yada and Mr Justice, we have absolutely no qualms. A brave and strong man devoted to his country's security and safety, and a brave and strong woman who comes prepared in all forms of life. We assume the housing development is going well?"
"Oh yes, Vice-Principal." Yada winked,
"And Mr Justice," Luna turned to Kimura, "During the morning classes, we have finally come to a conclusion from reviewing your records. We understand that you have an important job in Neighpon, but Celestia and us would definitely implore thy to be part of our teaching faculty in Canterlot High School."
"R-Really?" Kimura gasped, "wh-what for?"
"A sports instructor, specifically in the area of Track and Field." Luna smiled, "all of thy credentials from your police records, as well as thy high school records written by Korosensei, not only rings impressive, but rings true to thy heart."
"V-Vice-Principal?" Kimura blushed,
"Masayoshi 'Justice' Kimura." Luna continued, "you bring honour to thy namesake."
Kimura gave a warm smile at the words of the Vice-Principal. "Vice-Principal," Kimura answered, "I am honoured to take the position." He bowed, "thank you for welcoming me to Canterlot High School."
"Oh no..." Luna bowed back, "the honour and thanks are ours."
Fluttershy watched and listened to all that transpired, and her heart was touched at the sight of kindness. It filled her heart with determination as she stood up and asked for a request.
"Is that man still outside?"
"Principal Celestia is still trying to negotiate." Luna answered, "but we doubt he will have the patience."
"Then I'll go and speak to him." Fluttershy replied, the determination in her eyes, "he wants me especially."
"Fluttershy, we can see thou are determined, but if any harm comes to thou. It will be on the school and teacher's head."
"Very well then," Fluttershy answered, "perhaps someone assist me?"
"I will!" Yada volunteered, "I'll take the responsibility."
"That is acceptable. Promise us you won't get hurt?"
"We promise," Fluttershy and Yada spoke,
"Then the power is thine." Luna gestured to the door, "we shall stay in the class."
Back outside, Principal Celestia did all she can to control the situation and answer the man's needs.
"I have waited long enough, I want my prey now." The man growled,
"You will do no such thing," Celestia replied, "this is private property, and I will not allow you to do any more harm."
"To hell with your privacy! You've seen me wreck the floor, I'll destroy your entire school if I must!!!" The man roared,
"Then you'll have your prey then." Fluttershy's voice butted in, "remember me?"
"It's you..." The man grinned, at the sight of Fluttershy and Yada walking towards him. "The gazelle shows herself."
"Breaking out of prison just to get revenge on us?" Fluttershy asked, "that's quite a grudge."
"A lion will always hunt his target down... Their pride allows it!"
"So then..." Fluttershy replied, "Lion's pride. Lions are majestic animals, but even they have their weaknesses."
"The lion is the king of all beasts!" The man roared,
"Now you're just sounding like a ridiculous monster/villain who's themed after a lion." Fluttershy joked, "but in that case, you want the guts of my teacher right? Or are you actually wanting more than that? Perhaps mine and the students that lost your grasp?"
"Grr..." The Man growled,
"I'll take that as a yes. Then, by all means, go ahead!" Fluttershy laughed,
"Fluttershy!" Celestia gasped,
"Under one condition." Fluttershy interrupted, "you will not harm anyone else, nor the school property. And we will give you a fair fight of your venue."
"The gazelle makes a deal with the lion? Pfft, ridiculous!"
"A donkey and a fox had bargained with a lion." Fluttershy pointed out, "have you ever heard of Ascot's Fables?"
"Shut your mouth! You think you stand equal to me? Then I want a fair fight right here on these grounds on Friday!"
"Deal," Fluttershy said without a word,
"And no calling the hyenas. Otherwise, I will start destroying your school, and all who attend! You'd better prepare yourself gazelle. I will have a feast in tearing you apart!"
"Sure sure..." Fluttershy respectfully nodded with a smile, "one more thing."
"...?"
"Pick your words carefully next time." Fluttershy smiled innocently, "because it may be you who gets torn apart!"
The man snarled in shock, enraged by the taunt. But with his 'Lion's Pride,' he let it slide, and walked away.
"Principal?" Fluttershy turned to the speechless woman, "you okay?"
"Fluttershy... What did you do?" Celestia gasped,
"For the sake of the school, and my friends and teachers." Fluttershy replied, "perhaps Vice-Principal will inform you?"
Running back to the classroom once the entire school was given the 'all-clear', she found out that the light was turned back on, one of the windows were open, and everyone in the classroom stared back at her.
"You heard everything?" Fluttershy asked,
"You are one crazy girl, you know that?" Thunderlane replied,
"I've got a plan," Fluttershy whistled, "we have encountered this man before and survived. I'm definitely sure we're going to do it again."
"Funny," Roseluck replied, "that's exactly what we're going to tell you."
"Mr Shiota delivered to us the secrets of what that accursed criminal holds: Him, Ms Yada and Kimura, and for some reason, the students of the Special Tutorship Club." Luna replied, "It's not exactly what we had in mind when he promised us information, but now we understand even more. Still, we are quite shocked to learn that you have been learning things that are not related to the curriculum."
"Oh I did have qualms about it as well, but the priority changes given our situation," Fluttershy added,
"I told Luna and the rest of the class all the weaknesses regarding the antimatter tentacles." Kimura explained, "and believe it or not, Flash is willing to devise a plan."
"We've discussed it together with Vice-Principal Luna. It's going to give that man a hard time, as well as keep the reputation of CHS in line." Flash continued,
"So that means..." Fluttershy spoke,
"No knives and no guns." Luna answered firmly, "we still can't believe that such things are even mentioned let alone hidden in our school. But then again, we should have known by the vocation of an assassin."
"Yeah... Sorry about that Vice-Principal." Kimura sighed,
"We understand you have enough trust in him to not divulge. In fact, we ourselves gained that trust too when he asks us to visit him and telling us directly. We guess that he must let the secret out sooner or later. It definitely does my heart good to see that all of you wish to protect the school by putting your lives on the line."
"Thanks, Vice-Principal." Yada nodded,
"Oh, we're not finished." Luna glared, "this challenge puts the positions of all of you at risk due to obligations and school guidelines. If you fail, not only will the school be destroyed by his hand--"
"We'll be fired?" Kimura asked, "me and Yada?"
"That also includes Mr Shiota," Luna continued, "and in turn, the Special Tutorship Club will be forcibly disbanded and never to be formed again, with her student members facing expulsion."
"So our lives are really on the line." Big Mac shrugged,
"I understand Vice-Principal." Fluttershy bowed, "very well then, we will do our best to protect our school. And Roseluck and Big Mac, if you--"
"Forget it." Big Mac replied, "ah'm gonna stay an fight alongside y'all. A friend of mah sister is a friend of mine. Plus, like all of y'all, ah have mah personal reasons to join this club, and ah'm gonna make damn sure it's not going anywhere, same goes with savin' the school."
"So am I." Roseluck added, "same reason with Big Mac. Mr Shiota risked himself and stood against all odds as his teacher did, I'm not going let him go down alone with such courage."
"Vice-Principal." Kimura replied, "as surely as my name is Justice, I will make sure these students will be prepared and confident to fight back."
"And I will do my best to play my part too." Yada added, "not as assassins, but as teachers who prioritise nothing but the best guidance for his or her students."
"Lend me your ears, everyone." Luna replied, "though we must follow the rules and guidelines of schools, we must say we are very impressed out of all of you. Students accepting the responsibilities alongside their teachers. It appears you have matured far better than any other student. We and Celestia shall be praying and wishing you the best in your victory. May thy fight strongly till the end."
"That's why we're called the Special Tutorship Club!" Cloudchaser grinned,
"Oh we believe you deserve a better name now." Luna grinned, "to show the fruits of what thou have learned from such special teachers. To face trials and adversities most dire with the game of death being played. No name suits you better than... We'll leave that to your imagination. Farewell, and may you work hard!"
"Wow..." Redheart smiled as Luna left, "to think that our three Neighponese teachers are assassins. As dangerous as that is, it actually sounds cool since you're on our side."
"We've never gone through anymore killing after that." Yada replied, "for me, I just worked hard through my business degree, as well as learn further from my mentor."
"I may have killed some people in my line of duty though..." Kimura pointed out, "but as a law enforcer, not an assassin."
"Still though," Soarin replied, "to have dangerous assassins teach us, it's like one of those Cartoons and Video Games."
"How about we call it a day today?" Fluttershy asked, "we have two days to prepare, do you honestly think we can do it Flash?"
"It just depends on the things required to beat this man down. We won't be using knives and bullets, but we've got plenty of other choices to take down that man and his tentacle. It's also quite interesting yet ironic to see that out of any weakness, water would be one of them."
"You know," a cocky smile appeared on Fluttershy's face. "Perhaps this fight wouldn't be so bad after all..."
