Blood splattered all over the tiled floor.

A body was on the ground, unconscious. The owner of the body's face was all beat up, having black eyes, bruises and such.

Yet that didn't stop Baji from beating up Chifuyu's face even more. Chifuyu's blood was on his face, his hair was tied up in a ponytail.

By the distance, Takemichi gulped at what he's seeing. Next to him was Dazai who was smiling like nothing's wrong.

Around them were other Valhalla members who were watching the scene. Takemichi wondered why they just let the three of them inside like they're not enemies.

"U—- uhm.. Kazutora-kun.. what's going on here?" Takemichi warily asked while eyeing  Kazutora who was enjoying the show.

Kazutora tilted his head at him. "Hmm? What do you mean?"

"He means why Edward is beating someone up, Kazu-chan." Dazai answered for Takemichi. He silently thanked her with a nod to which Dazai nodded back.

"Ohhh~" Kazutora's mouth made an 'o', he then smiled at Takemichi. "It's a test of faith."

"A test of faith..?" Takemichi repeated.

Kazutora nodded. "Of Baji's relief in our group." He turned his head back at Baji who was still beating Chifuyu up.

"Leaving Toman to switch to Valhalla is like switching religions. So he needs to show us he's ready."

Dazai smiled at Takemichi. "Yeah. The guy Edward is beating up is Chifuyu Matsuno~ The first division's vice-captain, Edward's most trusted retainer."

"W—what!? The first division vic—-" Dazai quietly slapped her hand on Takemichi's mouth.

"No need to scream, Takemichi-kun."

Takemichi gulped at her fast action before obediently nodding. 'was Dazai-san always that fast? I mean.. I saw her in action three times by now but they were just a few kicks and punches.. '

"Toman is Valhalla's enemy." Kazutora mused. "If Baji betrays his old God, Mikey, then he's got to crush his old beliefs."

In the center, Baji panted. "Well? Is this good enough for you?" He then stood up and faced a familiar figure. "Hanma-kun, for my invitation into Valhalla."

He raised his right hand and took a hold of his hair tie, letting his black shiny hair free. His expression held a haughty smirk while looking at Dazai.

Dazai gave him a cheerful smile with her eyes closed and two thumbs up.

Yeah, Baji was definitely showing off his shiny hair because a certain (h/c) haired girl kept insulting it.
