We're back at our inn where I tend to Amaya's wound. It was deep, but it would heal.
"How's that?" I ask after tying the bandage.
She examines it before looking up at me and saying appreciatively, "Better. Thank you, Sensei."
I smile back before returning serious again. "So, our enemy uses the Transformation Jutsu to transform into one of us and to fool us," I begin.
Hiro leans against the wall with his arms crossed as he mumbles, "Yeah. Cheap tricks. They won't get away with it next time."
"I'll make them pay for hurting Amaya like that," Says Kai, clenching a fist.
"First, I think we should stake out tomorrow night, and wait for them to appear," I suggest. "Then, we attack once the enemy shows themself. We just need an opening to be able to uncover their true identity."
My students nod their heads in agreement.
I order dinner for us and we eat before staying up and finish planning. We head to bed early to prepare for the next fight tomorrow.
My students and I wait until it was nearly dark before we head out the next day and get into positions to wait for the enemy to show up.
I crouch on a rooftop, dressed in my Armadura Fairy Armour. I scan the streets for the Transformation Jutsu user, ready to attack should they appear.
So far, after nearly twenty minutes, none of my students have given the signal yet.
I stiffen upon seeing someone dash through the street, someone that possesses chakra and was not a civilian.
I unsheathe Shoten and launch myself forward. There's a loud clang as my sword connects with the enemy's spear. I jump back as I glare, straightening.
"So you've finally decided to show yourself," I state as my students surround them. The enemy flicks their gaze around and sneers.
"Here I am, Scarlet Thread," They say.
"Why don't you show us what you really look like?!" Hiro demands in a flustered tone.
"You're going to have to make me, I'm afraid," Says the young man as he gets into a ready stance.
"Fire Style Secret Technique: Dragon Flame Trumpet!" Hiro blows chakra enhanced fire from his mouth at the enemy. They easily dodge it before swinging their spear at him. Hiro narrowly avoids it by jerking backwards.
The enemy is hit with a water whip from Amaya and she swings it again. The enemy goes to thrust their spear at her but she barely manages to evade it. Kai sends out his ice saucer Jutsu which cuts the enemy's right side.
They grunt and there's a poof, but then there's another poof of smoke before they transform into Kai. They swing their spear at him and it grazes his left side.
I swiftly change Shoten to the twin Morning Star swords and swing widely at the enemy. They dodge and I catch one sword in my toes before sweeping my foot towards them.

They jump up as I swing my other foot, which now also holds my second sword.
"Whoa," Amaya breathes as I jump back to my feet.
Hiro runs at the Transformation Jutsu user with fire around his fist and repeatedly punches at them. They dance back a bit until Hiro manages to slug them in the face.
They stumble back, keeping up the transformation.
The enemy stabs their spear into his stomach but it wasn't deep enough to seriously injure Hiro. It was still enough to make me angry. They then swing their spear and a blast of air shoots out, forcing my student back.
I lunge at the enemy and we go flying back several feet down the street.
"Izayoi!!" My students call.
"Don't worry about me," I respond calmly. "Just tend to your wounds as best you can." We come to a stop and jump back to face each other. "You're going to regret harming my students like that." I give my opponent a dark glare but they seem unfazed by it.
"Oh, am I?" They inquire.
I scowl before we lunge at each other and clash our weapons against each other. There's a loud clang that echoes through the streets.
We slash and thrust our weapons at one another and I aim for their stomach but they block my attack before thrusting their spear at me. I deflect it.
I block an attack aimed for my abdomen and slash my sword across their shoulder. I then slash at their side but they jump backwards. They cut at my left arm and we clash our weapons against each other.
We pull back and the figure says as they twirl their ice blue tinted spear in front of them, "This spear is Karai, my strongest weapon. It has never failed me before."
"There's always a first time," I mutter before I lunge at them again with my swords ready. They swing their spear and I'm pushed back by a gust of wind. They swing their spear again and again and the wind forces me back.
I scowl as I stop a safe distance away.
They smirk before doing hand signs and disappearing in a puff of smoke. The smoke clears to show an exact copy of me.
I give a grunt of exertion before lunging for my opponent and doin urge same movement by holding my swords in my feet as I try to take their feet out from under them.
Again, they dodge before thrusting their spear at me. I give a mighty swing of one sword and a massive wave of energy blows out.
The enemy dives to the side to dodge it and it hits a house behind them.
We continue to clash our weapons against each other.
