Chapter 1~ My Everything

I threw the sharp knife in my hand for the hundredth time. I lodged into the target, missing the center point by an inch.

I switched to my left hand.

"1... 2... 3... "I counted.

"How's your training going?" Karasuma appeared behind me.

"Pretty..." I threw a knife unfazed by his sudden presence, "Good."

"Hm... I'm sure you know what to do now, so I'll see you in about 2 hours again."

"Yes. 100 knife throwing for each hand. 100 shots for each hand. 200 shots for moving targets at each hand. 10 km run in 30 mins."

"Correct." Than he disappeared to most likely head into his office. Man, he is one busy guy.

It's been 1 week since I started this training. Every 3 days a week I would meet Karasuma. I almost dropped half dead into my house after the first training. 10km in 35 mins was too exhausting for my nonathletic body. Now the time was changed to 30 mins.

For such a busy man like karasuma to be training me privately. And also making my trainings tougher and tougher every time at such a fast pace. Something important is going to happen.

I had to go out for morning exercizes to keep up.

I sighed heavily and continued my boring training. As much as I would like to blast music into my ears. Karasuma wanted to build so called discipline into me. Concentrate on your training, is what he said.

"Let's begin sparring than." Karasuma told me with his usual monotone voice.

Karasuma got into his defensive stance.

I swiftly ran forward, aiming for a simple kick to the head. Karasuma dodged it. I did a back hook kick before he attacked at my opening.

Karasuma punch forward too quickly for me to jump back. I guarded my head. Feeling the heavy blow and pressure affect my brain. I shook off the dizziness and thrust my leg at his knee.

"Too wide open." Karasuma flipped me over, my vision was spinning. However, I've got use to Karasuma flipping me every time. I stuck a hand out to hold my body off the ground and landed lightly with a huff. I whipped out a hidden knife and threw it at his face, to prevent him from getting too close to me.

"Good aim. Throw harder and faster though. Your movement is too big." Karasuma criticizes my attacks as usual, grabbing the knife midair. "You throw it like this." The knife flew so fast, I barely managed to avoid it. 

 It touched my temple briefly, than lodged itself into the target behind me. 

If you're wandering why we're using a real knife for practice. Let's just say Karasuma trusts my skills enough to be able to work with a real knife. 

I took out a two knifes, don't ask where it came from. 

I've practiced dual wielding before. But, I lack experience. I had a little trouble coordinating both hands at the same time. I swung both knifes, which Karasuma easily sidestepped. Than as if realizing my mistake for leaving my side wide open, my eyes grew wide as Karasuma easily chopped my neck. 

"Guh." I blackout.

I regained consciousness moments later as Karasuma didn't hit me that hard.

"Urgh, Karasuma-sensei. Fighting with you is just like fighting the final boss in a game. Sparring with me is like fighting a kid." I rubbed the back of my neck.
