A Normal High School Life (CotE Fanfic)

Chapter 5.6: The Dragon Strikes

This part is over 3.000 words long, Enjoy :D

I was woken up by Amikura who suddenly went inside our tent.

Breaking into the tent of the boys was deemed 'Taboo' by society so she must be having something really important to tell that made Amikura do such a rash thing.

"Hey... Wake up!! Something terrible had just happened!!" Shouted Amikura, she had a very worrying expression on her face.

I woke up and noticed that Shibata was missing from our tent. It looked like he was doing his part well.

"Where is Shibata?" Asked Amikura, her face still anxious.

"Oi Oi what's happening Amikura?" Ishizaki asked with a worried tone.

"Shibata and Matsushita are missing!! And our beacon..."

"What happened to our beacon!?"

"It's gone..."

"What the hell... Why did we agree to let our guard down... And on the last day, that is." Ishizaki was frustrated.

"For now, go and wake the girls up Amikura." Said Totsuka trying to calm the situation down.

"Let's not waste any more time. We need to find them!" Exclaimed Ishizaki.

We then headed out of the tent.

The sun was supposed to have already risen but it was nowhere to be seen. Instead, dark, grey clouds could be seen covering up the sky.

Amikura rushed over to the girl's tent while the rest of us went to the tree where the beacon was supposed to be located, it was nowhere to be found.

I noticed that there were several marks left off on the ground. It looked like whoever snatched the beacon struggled quite a bit. I also saw some faint footprints heading toward the direction of the mountains to the north of us.

"I think it'd be best if we split up, I'll go that way." I said while pointing to the mountains.

Third Person POV

Ayanokouji was following the footprints from earlier, he was running at a very fast pace. The landscape suddenly changed as he went inside a dense forest.

A few moments later, he noticed a clearing in the forest and saw that there were two figures. It looked like they were fighting over something. As he got closer, he instantly recognized one of the figures as Matsushita. The other was a girl with short blue hair that has a single ahoge strand sticking up and a pair purple eyes.

Matsushita was struggling to get the beacon off the girl's hands. The girl was quite strong considering she was holding the heavy metal beacon with only one hand while fending off Matsushita's attack.

Matsushita wasn't your average high-school girl either, she had learned basic martial arts when she was little. So, if it wasn't for her conditions, she could've put up a good fight against the blue-haired girl, albeit only for a little while.

Knowing that Matsushita wasn't going to give up anytime soon, the girl put down the beacon to the ground and decided that she was going to take care of Matsushita first.

Matsushita tried to punch her several times but her attacks were slow and uncoordinated. The girl waited for an opening before throwing a hard jab at Matsushita's groin causing her to kneel on the ground.
