"You're... that girl..."
Mizuki's eyes widened.
"My late sister... You're already dead!"

"Yes, it's Fubuki Ne, your big sister"
She smiles warmly.
"It's been a while, Mizuki chan"

"This can't be! You can't be her, dead people don't turn into ghosts!"
Refusing to accept another ghostly story considering what she had experienced before.

"Mizuki chan.. don't you remember me?"

"Stop trying to impersonate her!!"
Mizuki responds aggressively.

"Mizuki chan I'm-.. I'm lonely out here... you left and never came back... All I wanted was just to-"

Mizuki visibly a bit threatened hearing that, she readies her weapon. A broken off wooden leg from a chair. She tries to create her SP weapon on top of that stick which as a result, fortifies the wooden piece, enveloping it in a coat of SP (Spiritual Properties). Her footings spread across the ground, lowering her center of gravity and enabling her to quickly reposition herself if need be.

Surprised by her reaction, the ghost, now calling herself Fubuki, reassures Mizuki.
"Ah don't worry! I'm not trying to get revenge or anything! I just want to... catch up! see how you're doing now"

Still on high alert, and directing her weapon towards Fubuki.
"What do you really want??"

Her hopeful face turns to that of a bittersweet emotion.
"Huuh, that's okay... I don't expect you to believe me. Just being able to see you again is enough..."

She smiles warmly
"You used to be afraid of everything, I'm glad to see you so strong now..."

A comment that piqued Mizuki's interest, her weapon lowers an inch. Curious.


"Oyy what's wrong, mizuki-kun? You're spacing out"
Daisuke calls out to her as he hits her SP weapon and breaks it into pieces.
"You're the one that's so raring to fight yesterday"
He calls out to her again, this time pointing at her weapon. They're fighting in the club room, all the tables are moved aside to free up space for an arena in the middle. Though it barely have enough room.

"At your level, you still need to constantly maintain your focus if you want to keep the structural integrity of your weapon"
Daisuke explains.
"It's not like I'm telling you this for free, you know! You gotta pay me back for this lesson, hmph"
And not forgetting his tsundere bit.

'so this is going to be a thing for a while huh...'
Mizuki is getting used to his ever shifting antiques.

She then rebuilds her weapon at the point where Daisuke breaks them and readies her stance for the next attacks.

"I'm just getting started!"
She gets fired up. She then lunges towards him, swinging her SP made bar as weapon. Exchanging several blows with Daisuke before breaking it apart again.

"Heeeh, is that all~? You have the Great Daisuke teaching you here, ya know? You better not be slacking off, since I go out of my way to teach you after all!"

Hearing that ticks her off.
"Are you mocking me?!"

She hastily recreates her weapon and greedily strikes at him without much thought behind her attacks.

Daisuke effortlessly parries her reckless attacks, managing to slip in a few words of provocations in between which throws her off even more.

However after a while, his otherwise jolly expression changes ever so slightly in the middle of that futile attacks.
'A foreign trace...'

Before he knows it, Mizuki is attacking him with everything else in the room, skipping the weapon making process and just throwing whatever are nearby as weapon.
