"Huff......Huff.." Souma panics and pants. He had barely survived his death from an 'accident'.
The boy who threw the dagger was sitting on the rock, posing as king , a group of few boys surrounded him.
"Oi-Oi, chicken-heart, fret not I am not killing you, for this won't grant me anything special. Especially when you are so weak and coward to stand aback." The boy mocks and humilates Souma.
Souma was too frighten to say anything. The boy took out his daggers and laughed once more. Soon a girl enters the stage. She head towards Souma and gave a him hand to stand up,
"Little brother are you alright?" She said.
Souma looked at the hand offering girl, she had a gentle smile on her face and her slim but somehow a little strong hand was in front of Souma.
"Thankyou. Big Sis" He replied.
"Boy, are you new here? " She continued.
Souma then tells her all his experience and so called 'hospitality' offered by the sect members. She rages at the boy when she hears all the backstory of Souma and shouts at him,
"Kyle!! What does this mean?!" She yelled with anger.
"What? It was an accident." He shrugged with mocking tone.
A arguement broke out between both the parties. However Kyle remained unregretful of his action.
"Oi! Sumire refrain from your love charity and end the matter else you know my temper." Kyle threatens while glaring at her.
The dispute ends with unfair justice. Due to more power and deep roots Sumire had to bow down and accept the bitter injustice but then,
"Oi! Kyle!! Don't be too full of yourself just because I was startled." Souma who was quite till now, mustered the courage and furiously faced Kyle.
Kyle took a turn back immediately as he heared the challenging tone of Souma. He yet again mocks him by saying 'Spineless Idiot' and angered him. Souma was too not stuffed with sugar, he openly mocks him back. The slanders and smearing was observed throughout the sect and a comotion broke out.
"Oh, want to be a cool dude here? Take him down boys." Kyle orders his lackeys to attack Souma as the straw has already broken the camel's back. However Sumire confronts them well and defends Souma against them.
" Step out of this Sumire, else don't blame me for being ruthless." Kyle rages and threatens her again.
" The matter was already your fau----" she was interrupted.
"Halt!" a voice roared.
"Elder Mauro!" all were startled by him though Souma was unknown of the situation.
He was a tall, black and brawny muscular man his hair were wavy, like a native brazillian. He suddenly appeared from back of the group.
"You kids are disciple of Martial Arts Sect such disputes tarnishes the reputation of martial arts and your pride as their learner!" He was furious at the display of misconduct and scolded all of them.
Mauro took a glimpse all around once and dismissed Kyle. Later he approached Souma and said,
"Oi, Kid, seems new eh? Don't go making trouble!" Mauro's native brazillian ascent was visible it felt as if he spoke trouvle instead of trouble but yes, he was harsh towards Souma. Later he went on and assigned Sumire to guide him for Martial Arts Sect registration reception.
