"WHAT TREMENDOUS WIND... coming down from the mountain...!" Kohaku thought to herself, seeing the trees on the mountain swaying from the sheer strength of the wind. (Y/N) observed the treeline with sharp eyes, perched up on one of the huts' rooftops. "The storm..." He hummed to himself, hopping down as soon as he caught sight of movement behind the greenery.

He sped up as a bunch of meatheads came charging at Senku upfront, appearing seemingly out of nowhere as he flashed in front of the men's spears with his katana raised  to deflect their weapons.

"JA-" The Tsukasa army gasped, "JAPANESE SWORDS..!!" They exclaimed, their sight glazing over with the image of the Kingdom of Science wearing yukatas.

A bewitching pattern born from tempering only the edge,
The "Temper pattern"
Has made Japanese swords in particular, some of the finest blades in the world.

The men on the frontlines flinched back at the sight of a newcomer, standing in perfect kendo stance in front of the other fighters. "Another revivee?!" A male with blonde tied up hair muttered. "...How nice." Hyoga said as he stepped forward. "You really did a splendid job, Kingdom of Science." His gaze fell on the blank-faced male in traditional Japanese clothing.

"...and an additional unknown force." He muttered to himself, gripping his spear harder. Kaseki laid on the ground looking worse for wear, "Go ahead, praise me all you like~" The old blacksmith shakily proclaimed. "Kukuku." Senku chuckled as he lowered his head, casting a shadow over his eyes, "The workmanship might be a little clumsy..." He started.

"But in this stone world, they're far and away..." The red-eyed boy continued as the katana-wielding warriors lept into action, all except for one boy who remained stationary, keeping his eyes firmly on Hyoga, "The strongest... blades of science...!!" Senku finished, just as (Y/N) jumped at the masked man.

"BWAAAAAAAAHH!!" Magma let out a war-cry as they all charged at the weaker men. The Tsukasa army quickly began to turn their tails and flinched back from the attacking group. Hyoga stepped forward to interfere but was interrupted by an approaching blade, which he was forced to block.

Having a closer look at the male who attacked him, his eyes flashed with recognition. "You're..." He started, the (h/c)-head responding by pressing harder with his sword. "(Y/N) Takeda..." Hyoga proclaimed, parrying as his opponent started sending more attacks his way. The (e/c) eyed boy simply smiled blankly in response, quickening his strikes on his spear.

The white-haired man grit his teeth forced to keep taking steps back as (Y/N)'s attack got faster and faster, soon appearing as mere blurs of silver and blue. Ginro couldn't help but halt his charge as he stared in awe at the speed the handsome boy was going at. "He's really fast...!" He squealed, before shrieking at the spear approaching him and quickly going to block it.

"Focus on the enemies." The (h/c)-haired boy's monotone voice resonated. "If you wanna see me in action again, don't worry." A smirk formed on his (s/c) face, "I'll be showing it to you a lot during training." Shivers racked through the fighting team's bodies, a foreboding feeling washing over them at those words.

"Why does that sound really bad?!" They thought collectively, brushing off the feeling and continued pushing back Tsukasa's army. Hyoga huffed at his opponent, "You really dare to be talking to others when you should be focusing on me?" He says, blocking one last strike before he flipped over (Y/N) and aimed for his back.

The prince quickly spun around, bringing up his sword to block Hyoga's spear, his right hand raising up to support the blade. They struggled in place for a few seconds before resuming their parrying attacks. "So this was where you were," The masked male attempted to make conversation, the emotionless boy saying nothing in response.

"Tsukasa had attempted to look for you, seeing how you were the only one able to defeat him one-on-one back then." Hyoga casually gave out, the battle other than theirs pausing at those words. "What?!" The previously fighting sides exclaimed in shock, turning their heads to the duo still duking it out. (Y/N) simply grunted in response, raising his katana up to block an overhead strike.

Senku choked on his spit at the revelation, "(n/n)?! You know Tsukasa?!?" He yelled at the male, who slid under Hyoga's legs to attack him from below, to which the masked maled simply jumped over. "Hm." Said the (h/c)-head. The cabbage man irked again for the nth time since his friend was revived, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN HM?!" He shouted just as Hyoga's spear broke.

(Y/N) quickly jumped back over to the others in the fighting team, watching the white-head observe his broken weapon. "The spear tip suddenly... fell off." Ginro stated, from behind the others. Hyoga looked closely at where his spear broke, "This is a very precise slit... impossible to make with stone tools." He observed, bringing his gaze up to look at Gen. "Seeeriously????" The split-haired man yelled, "Who could have done such a thing...?!"

Hyoga chuckled, switching his gaze back over to his previous opponent who had already relaxed and is now drawing on the ground with his katana. He paused momentarily to sweat-drop at what the male was doing, before lowering his head, casting a shadow over his face, "How clever of you, Gen-kun!" He praised sarcastically, "You really pulled it off quite properly."

Gen teared up, "What are you saying Hyoga-chan?! Why would I have..." He trailed off, Hyoga staying silent. His teary expression remained a few more seconds before his face quickly switched to one befitting a villain, "Welp, I guess the jig's up." He drawled, "As expected of Hyoga-chan~" The mentalist sang.

A flurry of flowers was sent his way, making the masked male flinch and take a step back. "I've used it on stage before, too." Gen's voice sounded from behind Hyoga. "Black nightshade is my favorite flower after all~" He cooed. "In the language of flowers," Gen looked down on the white-haired man, "It means 'Liar'."

"Kukuku. That was some fiiine swordsmanship, Mr. Mentalist." Senku called out, holding up a small knife, which made (Y/N)'s attention snap over to him. "Thrilling, isn't it, this sharpness?" He asked as he dropped the knife into the short boy's awaiting hands. "For these are..." The leek-head smirked, "The blades of science...!!"

OMAKE:

(Y/N): ...AH!!
Senku: !! what now
(Y/N): ...
Senku: ???
(Y/N): I... wanted to... *mumbles*
Senku: you wanted to...??
(Y/N): *sigh* I wanted to go "Total Concentration Breathing: Breath of Science!!!!" while attacking *grumbles*
Senku, Hyoga and probably everybody on the scene: *deadpans*
