CHAPTER FIVE: SPARRING

Ahh~ ! Was suppose to update yesterday >n< Oh whale, here's the next chapter ^^

[Akane's POV]
Tomo immediately engages in battle. He unsheathed a dagger and began to slash around, as Lily was backing up. Lily kicked the dagger out of his hand, but it didn't stop Tomo from kicking her in the stomach. Lily flies, and slides against the ground. She stumbles up, slightly panting. Tomo swiftly throws 3 ninja stars towards her. Lily dodges each of them swiftly and easily, except the last one slightly grazes her arm. She winces and holds her cut. "Finished..", the instructor says. "No. I'm not done yet", Lily breathes heavily. "You're not, but I am. You're done", he says. "That's it? No wonder we're better than Maru, we fight to the verge of death", Mira smirks. "Well, it's your turn", the instructor says and Mira and Jin head to the center. "Begin". Mira quickly throws several daggers out. Jin easily dodges them, and counter attacks by throwing a few daggers of his. Mira ducks the blades, and kicks Jin's legs from below. Now on the ground, Mira pins him and lifts up a dagger. She thrusts her dagger down, but was then kicked off by the instructor. "Heel yourself!", he shouts. Mira gets up, patting her shorts. "Tch.. You will never succeed as an assassin like this. You will only get hurt", Mira says. It was the truth. If we don't steel ourselves, we will be the ones getting hurt. "Next up! Akane and Shin!", instructor shouts. Shin and I face each other in the center. "Start".

[Shin's POV]
Akane swiftly engaged in without any hesitation.
'Engaging in battle so recklessly and quickly..! What was the concept in K's..?!'
She slashes every way as she continues to make me back up. I grab her wrist midway, and twists the dagger out of her hand. She kicks off of my chest, escaping my grasp. She lunges for me, but I dodge her and pull her wrists to her back. I hold a blade to her neck from behind, but it doesn't phase her. She elbows me in the stomach, and flips over me. I turn around with a round house kick, hitting her in the ribs. She slides to the other side of the center, and I pin her down. Right when I was about to send a fist flying to her face, I hesitated for a split second. For an unknown reason, my body wouldn't listen to me. I couldn't hit her. From my hesitation, she kicks me off. She pins me down and holds a blade to my neck, where I was unable to move. "Finished..".
"She actually beat Shin..!", I heard the class murmur.

[Akane's POV]
I head back with Tomo and Mira. "Hmph.. Not bad", Mira grins. "Well, it is Akane here", Tomo smirks. I only shrug.
'No.. He definitely heistated.. He could've won from the stupid Instructor's call..'

The first course ended and we followed Jin, Lily, and Shin out. "Next is going to be our academic sections. We start with combat, then we move on to math, English, etc., then we end with combat again. You know how the academic section works right? You go through class like a normal high school", Jin explains. "Of course we know how it works, we have it at K's... Tch, we don't even need math, English, or other subjects anymore.. We basically mastered it all", Mira rolls her eyes. We arrive at a class, and were greeted by the teacher. "Since you all are new, I need each of you to be able to understand. Let's have Tomo sit with Lily, Jin with Mira, and Akane with Shin, so each of you can be taught whatever you have missed", the teacher says. Mira clicks her tongue in disgust. Tomo and Lily sat side by side in the front, where Mira and Jin sat all the way by the door. I took a seat next to Shin, near the window. "So. First class is Math, as always. Like our routine, we'll start with independent or partner studies", the teacher says.
"Okay.. So basically we study by ourselves or with the people we're around", Shin says. I only shrug. We stay in silence, as Shin looks through his notes and I look out the window.

[Shin's POV]
"Hey..", Akane breaks our silence. "What?", I ask. "..You.. Why did you hesitate when you could've won?", she looks me dead in the eyes.
