....
In the bedroom of ryuko and mako.
Mako: they all have a twinkle in their eye. this life is almost too good to be true.
Ryuko: *inhale*
Mako: But it is more than enough, don't you think ryuko-chan?
Ryuko: *exhale* yeah, we can live happily like this, good night, mako.
Mako: yes, good night, ryuko-chan…*snore*
Ryuko:...varakiel.
Varakiel: ¿yes?
Ryuko: I want to be strong, to protect this life.
Varakiel: I know that, right now you're stronger than ever before, keep it up. I believe in you, always.
Ryuko:.....thanks varakiel….you and mako are the best friends that i could ever have wished for.
Varakiel: mhm, now sleep well, tomorrow we have a club fight.
Ryuko: Is it the pong club?
Varakiel: Mhm, so you didn't forget all that?
Ryuko: How could I? Hey, if you can do that again, can you show me? It was fun to share time like that together.
Varakiel: Sure, but I can't control it at will right now.
Ryuko: I see, then, good night.
Varakiel: mhm.
....
Next day….
Aizenbo: kyahahah.
Ryuko: aizenbo fuguhara right? Let get this over with.
Aizenbo: hya?
Ryuko: sen-i-soshitsu!
Varakiel: ryuko-chan I know you knew what she was going to do, but don't you think it is a bit unfair to do it before they do the first attack?
Ryuko: hey, i already knew i was able to win, why prolong it.
Varakiel: true, now let me write the report….
Ryuko: It was only one club? What about the origami club?
Varakiel: a club per week is fine. you won't gain anything for doing like that timeline, and right now i don't need to rush for those life fibers, so let it be.
Ryuko: Alright, then are we done?
Varakiel: mhm. Let 's go home.
...…
Morning assembly
Varakiel: " gamamori-kun i need to talk with satsuki."
Gamamori: with lady satsuki?...let me ask her…
Gamamori goes to the phone in the room.
Nonon: what is your reason to ask for satsuki-sama?
Varakiel: That is it private.
Inumuta: Is it regarding your training with her?
Varakiel: close enough to that.
Uzu:......
uzu looks down, well if he could, he can still feel the presence of varakiel.
Gamamori: hello this is gamamori.
Soroi: Hello gamamori-san what is the reason for your call?
Gamagori: soroi-sama, varakiel request a meeting with satsuki-sama.
Soroi: oh, a reunion with satsuki-sama? let see.
Satsuki: a reunion? Who requests such a thing?
Soroi: it seems is varakiel-sama my lady.
Satsuki: oh? sensei wants to meet me?...very well, tell him to come now.
Gamagori: matoi-san, satsuki-sama accepts your request please follow me.
Gamagori then stands up and exits the room.
Varakiel: mhm.
Varakiel follows him as he floats.
...
Varakiel and gamagori were in a elevator.
Varakiel: "so gamagori what is the reason for your loyalty to satsuki, did she save you?, defeated you? saved someone you care for?"
Gamagori:.....she saved some people i tried to save, and i was defeated by her.
Varakiel: "i see no wonder you're so loyal to her, keep the good work"
Gamagori:.....thanks.
Varakiel: "? for what?"
Gamagori: for training lady satsuki, we never have seen her this entertained since she founded the academy.
Varakiel: " i see, good for her then"
Gamagori: We arrived.
Soroi receives the two of them at the entrance.
Soroi: good morning varakiel-sama, gamagori-san.
Gamagori:....i'll go back to the assembly.
Soroi: *nod* please follow me varakiel-sama.
Varakiel: "of course soroi-san."
Soroi: -san? hoho, it's been so long since someone referred to me like that. this way. please.
Soroi has a smile on his face.
...
soroi then takes varakiel to satsuki.
Varakiel: " how has satsuki-chan been doing? is she following the training regime like I told her? Is she eating the exact meals that I told her?"
Soroi: of course varakiel-sama she has followed your instructions step by step, and i been taking care of her meals, and i must say i never seen her so happy, it's must be so fun to her that she still has room to grown as a human being.
Varakiel: "Of course, the only limit a human has is the one that he puts to himself, and as long as you fight for what you believe nothing can stop you."
Soroi: Indeed she lives by those very words, but I am afraid of one thing with her: she screams a lot when she speaks from the top of the academy. I fear she might hurt her voice in the future.
Varakiel: "ah yes, i am aware of that, but i know she's aware of that and she doesn't overdo it."
Soroi: I suppose you're right…..we arrived. If you excuse me, I must prepare her lunch.
Varakiel: " of course, thank you soroi-san."
Varakiel then opens the door and enters the room.
...
Satsuki: You are here, so what is it that you need?
Varakiel suddenly appears behind satsuki.
satsuki then moves her sheathed katana behind her.
*bling*
then suddenly two varakiel appears below her to the left and the right.
*bling * *bling*
but another one appears right in front of her and…..
*pat*
Varakiel: "well done, satsuki-chan you blocked the second phase already, you have 8 more to go~"
Varakiel was petting satsuki head while he wrote that.
Satsuki:...what do you want?
Varakiel: "ah yes, i need you to do something for me,"
Satsuki: for you? What is that you could possibly need?
Varakiel: "Well, it is something that you were going to do anyway, a reprisal general election for the academy."
Satsuki eyes open in awe.
Satsuki: amazing, you realized that by yourself in a single day, so you're aware that those pigs are not worthy.
Varakiel:" mhm, i noticed that you agreed to ryuko-chan club request way too fast, you should have proposed something."
Satsuki: So my mistake was my hastiness…..i will perform it after having a meeting with my elite four, satisfied?
Varakiel: "that would be all…then i'll take my leave see you later satsuki-chan."
Varakiel then leaves the room.
Satsuki:...varakiel fateburn matoi is it? he's not a mere kamui, i must not allow ragyo to know about his existence, if she gets a hold of his techniques then everything would be over.
satsuki feels a lingering warmth on top of her head….
Satsuki: And what is the reason he always does that?....
...…
next week. at morning every student of the academy was reunited
Satsuki: Today, I am giving the Honnouji Academy student council system a fresh start! all students have the right to attack all other students! secret meeting, scheming, backstabbing, anything goes! Seven days from now, reach the schoolyard alive! and then, use your strength to lay claim to your social standing once again! This shall be Honnouji Academy's first naturals election!
Ryuko: "naturals election"?
Varakiel: like the law of the jungle ryuko-chan, survival of the fittest.
Ryuko: i see.
Varakiel: This is actually a good thing, you know, the people that don't know their capabilities will leave and so we will be less attacked by them in lunch and after school.
Ryuko: oh!
Satsuki: in this election, you will not be choosing some candidate! you will be choosing yourself! your standing! your strength! your way of life! At 8:30am, seven days from now, a sudden death runoff election will be held with the survivors who arrive in this schoolyard! fight one another and emerge victorious! and i will grant you your goku uniforms anew! and now, fellow comrades of Honnouji academy! FIGHT!
.....
Satsuki was back in her tower.
Satsuki: iori, begin.
Iori: yes, milady. beginning high velocity life fiber jammer emission.
Aikuro: they're circulating finely chopped life fibers at a speed of 100m/s. any and all attacks are neutralized by that barrier. it would probably be difficult to breach even with varakiel's power.
Varakiel: "oh? are you challenging me?"
Aikuro: what!?
Ryuko: Wait, you can do it?
Varakiel: Of course, it will draw a lot of attention but that would be the most quiet place to be. I don't want to be pestered by weaklings for 7 days. Also we need to get mako a 1 star uniform.
Ryuko: And that means I can challenge her again right?
Varakiel: no challenge to satsuki, if you were to lose you're expelled and if you were to win, something bad, really REALLY, bad would happen.
Ryuko:...that bad?
Varakiel: An opponent that I am not sure we can beat together at full power for now.
Ryuko:.....how the hell do you know that?
Varakiel: Kamui intuition, and this time I am serious.
Ryuko: i see.
Aikuro: You know ryuko-kun, it is bad manners to speak to someone we can't hear.
Ryuko: Shut up, would you? We have another thing to worry about, that satsuki likes to whip everybody into a frenzy. but hides into a fortress eh.
Aikuro: it's probably the other way around. She's ruled absolutely here, and by sequestering herself, she's causing a state of anarchy within the academy. see?
Ryuko looks below and all the ruckus
Ryuko: *sigh* I swear, I'm so sick of her…
Mako: ah!
Mako, who was sleeping, suddenly wakes up.
Varakiel: "ah you're finally awake mako-chan, let's go get you a 1-star uniform, like this we can disband the fight club and still live in that condo"
Mako:'kay!!
Ryuko: sounds like a plan.
...…
Uzu: This is crazy. Is she trying to tear down the order she herself created?
Inumuta: as always, she's taking things to extremes.
Nonon: that's satsuki kiryuin in a nutshell. Still, this will give us a chance to kick back and relax for a while.
Gamagori: ah, I follow you. personal time.
*cling*
Gamagori: In that case, gentlemen, I will see you in seven days.
gamagori then separates from the elite four squad.
Uzu: That sound just now…was that a car key?
Nonon: I heard he got his license recently. it sounds like he intends to see to lady satsuki's chauffeur needs himself
Inumuta: his loyalty is impressive.
Nonon: okay, i guess we'll meet up in se—
*Kaboom!!!*
a giant explosion sounds in the direction of satsuki's tower.
Inumuta: what!?
Nonon: oi, aren't those!?
Uzu: that 's ryuko matoi and mako mankanshoku! and they are scaling….. the tower!?
....
Ryuko: hahahahah!!!
Ryuko was scaling the tower while she had mako entangled on her back..
Varakiel: we're approaching the barrier, prepare to switch with me, ryuko-chan!
Ryuko: Yes, I leave it to you , aniki!
.....
Iori: oi what is going on here!?
Operator: Ryuko matoi is scaling the tower iori-sama!
Iori:....is that all? i thought we were being attacked…
Operator:...sir, it doesn't bother you?
Iori: Of course, the barrier is impenetrable!
"WARNING WARNING WARNING THE BARRIER AS BEEN BREACHED, I REPEAT THE BARRIER HAS BEEN BREACHED"
Iori:......
Operator:........
....
Satsuki:...*grin* that kamui, no that man is one of the strongest beings in this world! and i am her apprentice, hahahaha!
Soroi: I am so happy for you, milady.
...…
some moments before.
Varakiel: then i'll take over ryuko-chan~!
Ryuko: yes, sir!
Varakiel then takes over ryuko's body.
Varakiel: I just need 1 minute so it should be fine.....*inhale*
then the world stood still for the next scene.
*CRACK*
like glass shattering the two barriers break apart!
[SERENE MIND LEVEL 4]
....
Nonon:.....someone pinch me...
Inumuta: me too….
Uzu:......impossible…..
…..
Aikuro:...yeah, that thing is no ordinary kamui.
…..
*crash*
Ryuko: Alright we are in. Now what?
Varakiel: " ha , there you are soroi-san"
Soroi: hello varakiel-sama, ryuko-sama and mako-sama please come inside.
Varakiel: "thanks for the hospitality"
Soroi: You should thank lady satsuki, she proposed such an idea.
Ryuko: she what!?
...
Satsuki:....
Ryuko:....
Satsuki and Ryuko were looking at each other with displeasure.
Varakiel: "calm down you two, if you two start fighting here you'll make the work harder for soroi-san"
Soroi:...
Varakiel: " anyways thanks for receiving us satsuki-chan"
Ryuko: satsuki-chan?
Satsuki: got a problem with that ryuko matoi?
Ryuko: nothing about you says cute, that's what i meant.
Satsuki: the same goes for you, you look like the average delinquent.
ryuko and satsuki clash their foreheads.
*smack* *smack*
Ryuko: ow.
Satsuki: ow.
Varakiel: " I said no fighting, save your strength for the training week I have prepared for today.
Satsuki: training….
Ryuko: week?
Varakiel: "mhm, soroi-san is the field ready?"
Soroi: of course varakiel-sama. satsuki-sama, matoi-sama please follow me.
Ryuko and satsuki look at each other.
Ryuko: ¿?
Satsuki: ¿?
...…..
Varakiel: "and here we have it, the first course of many go change to the clothes in those wardrobes.
Varakiel says as he floats besides soroi.
Satsuki: soroi what is the meaning of this?
Soroi: I am sorry satsuki-sama, varakiel-sama requested to change this room for a special training you would receive the past week and he specially stated to remain a secret for you to not prepare for it.
Satsuki:.....i understand.
Varakiel: " i also didn't tell anything to ryuko, so both of you are in the same page, now go change"
Ryuko: ugh i would really need to train with that girl for the whole week?
Varakiel: "Yes, both are my apprentices and so you must contest but also learn to fight together."
Ryuko: fight….
Satsuki: together!?
Ryuko & Satsuki: with her!?
Varakiel: " yes, and you don't have an opinion, so let me explain the first course, please stand in this line satsuki-chan and you in this line ryuko-chan"
Varakiel signals to satsuki to stay in the left line and ryuko on the right line.
Varakiel: "Now as a test run, take a step both of you."
*tap* *tap*
*Shing* *shing*
a blade charges on each side, one for ryuko and one for satsuki.
both of them deflect them.
*bling* *bling*
Varakiel: "good it seems it works perfectly, now your objective is simple to arrive at the finish line, together~."
Ryuko: together!?
Satsuki: what kind of training is this!?
Varakiel: keep doing it and see for yourself.
Soroi: good luck lady satsuki and matoi-sama.
Varakiel: "i'll be here meditating, if you need something call my name"
Varakiel then floats in the air beside the start line.
...…
Mako: varakiel-kun what about me?
Mako says at varakiel as she wears the 1-star uniform.
Varakiel: Just do the training I told you and you'll be fine.
Mako: 'Kay!
Mako then takes a bat out of nowhere and starts swinging it.
as for ryuko and satsuki.
*Shing* *shing* *shing* *shing*
Satsuki: (i see whenever she takes a step i will be attacked by blades and vice versa.)
Ryuko: (alrighty i think i get it as long i stay behind her by 1 step i will reach the end easily)
*tap* *tap* *tap*
*Fwosh*
Ryuko: uh!? wha!!!
satsuki advances 3 steps, and suddenly ryuko is launched to the start by a wind cannon.
Varakiel: "So you found the first failsafe, if any of you take 3 steps without being in the same step a wind cannon will always push you back to the start, no matter how far you have reached."
Satsuki: I understand.
Ryuko: What kind of dumb rule is that?
Varakiel: "you must not follow the same path you must walk it together"
Varakiel writes on the floor behind them.
Ryuko: the same path? Since when do we follow the same path?
Satsuki:...
Varakiel: " You two are more similar than you could think off, now continue, leave your differences aside for this training for now after this week you can keep hating each other."
Ryuko:...Satsuki Kyruin, i don't know what the hell is varakiel thinking about pairing me with you but if he believes it's good i'll do it, can you do it?
Satsuki: Ha! in this world there's nothing Satsuki Kiryuin can't do!
Varakiel: "good now, go."
.....
afternoon of that day.
Ryuko: *pant* *pant*
Satsuki: *pant* *pant*
Ryuko and satsuki were panting out of breath on the finish line at the same time.
Varakiel: "congratulations you beaten up the easy difficulty~"
Ryuko: easy…..
Satsuki: difficulty?
Ryuko and Satsuki look at each other…
Varakiel: "soroi."
Soroi: understood sensei.
Soroi then pulls down a lever.
Suddenly the field changes and more buttons appear on the floor and some hanging scythes appear on the field.
Varakiel: Now it's normal difficulty~.
Ryuko:....
Satsuki:...
Varakiel: but….
suddenly the field clears out.
Varakiel: "that will wait until tomorrow, you may rest now, let's go ryuko, let's go back home."
Ryuko:*exhale* great, i am so sweaty right i really want a bath….mako let's go."
Mako: 'kay!
Ryuko and Mako walk off the training field.
Satsuki:.......
Varakiel: "same hour tomorrow?"
Satsuki: very well, soroi guide them to the secret entrance, if they keep breaking the life fiber jammer it would attract unwanted attention.
Soroi: understood.
Varakiel: "alrighty~. then i'll see you tomorrow satsuki-chan, rest well you will need it for tomorrow too"
Satsuki:......very well…..sensei.
Varakiel: (kya~~~)
....
