What is Justice?

Chapter Five

"Sensei, what will I learn today?"

Inside of what appears to be a run-down training area we see a man aged 29 using a red mask and has a red and black bullet proof clothing with multiple knifes attached across his clothes and a teenager aged 13 who was wearing a black hoodie and black cargo pants with a Ka-Bar knife handled on his right hand and a gun holstered on the right side of his belt.

"... I don't have anything else to teach you... "

"What? but sensei! I---"

With incredible speed the man then drew his katana and attacked the teenager but the teenager dodged backwards with ease leaving the katana pointing on the ground and the teenager counter attacked with a thrust but the man gripped the teenager's wrist and flipped the teenager down to the ground and slashed his katana at where the teenager was but the teenager wasn't there.

'Huh using my blind spot again---'

The katana then clanged with the knife and the man saw the teenager was behind him and started to fix his stance and charged again, this time the teenager strike with a slash movement but the man blocked it again with his katana.

'I wonder, is he getting sloppy?---'

The man and the teenager kept dodging and attacking each other with their sharp objects, every time one attacks, the other would react and counter it with amazing speed and if one counters the other, the one being countered will attack again.

Parry, strike, parry, slash, thrust, dodge.---

In the illuminating light of the moon, it was as if the two were dancing, with blades that clang and sparks flew, it's as if both were at equal ground but in reality, it's not.

'He is pretending to lose; he is really trying to lower my guard.'

The man thought, and as the teenager hesitated for a single second the man lunged with his katana.

The sound of blood splatter echoed through the entire room and the man was in a state of shock as he saw that his katana went through the stomach of his apprentice.

'Why didn't he dodge---'

The man then smiled internally as the teen took that chance and with lightning-fast speed thrusted forward and held his knife just a few centimetres below his chin and across his throat, and the teenager didn't seem fazed at all with the amount of blood spewing out of his stomach area.

"Sensei, didn't you say that you should never let your guard down even if you win?"

The man then smiled and then sheathed his katana.

"You already learned everything I taught you to a skilful level... you have already passed my level phoenix... I shall take my leave, and sat safe my pupil."

The man spoke while ruffling the teenager's hair under the teenager's hoodie.

"Of course, sensei and, thank you for everything you taught me"

The teenager who was identified as 'Phoenix' said while bowing, the man then left and disappeared into the shadows leaving the teenager alone in the training area, the teenager then looked around for any intruders or eavesdroppers and then spoke into the darkness.

"Mamoru Yoshinaga, you can come out now."

Then, a figure with a kitsune mask fell from the roof and gracefully landed on front of 'Phoenix' while kneeling.
