Skyler then looked at his fallen comrade and gave a light chuckle, "You should keep you guard up better Ryuuto." Words like that sounded like a threat the way the president had put it. However, Skyler had no plans of doing anything to the fallen man as he was in the ranks around were Jian was.
Skyler bolted to Seiji with a punch following, aimed for Seiji's head. However, just before it would hit Skyler stopped the attack letting only a gust of wind rush by them. This didn't seem to have anything with it other than the speed from Skyler's movement, even though it was only a little less than half his normal. This speed was slightly below that of Seiji's, but it was clear that this wasn't his full speed. There was no killing intent able to be noticed behind this punch, thus it gave no threat; although this could obviously change if the need came about. "What would you have done if I had not held back nor stopped my attack? Do you think you would even live through the strike?" Skyler stood up normally and gave about two feet between him and Seiji. "Think about the offer and have a reply when I send for it. Maybe you'll find yourself as feared as me one day." With a chuckle Skyler started off once again, but only a few doors down as he reached his class.

Someone came into the class and took a seat a little ways away from Itsuki. It was Jian, one of those under the presidents orders. However, she was different in which she didn't seem to be on the tyrant's side, but rather against him secretly. "Hey Fukui-san. Hope things are not going to bad for you." Itsuki was always kind to Jian and treated her as he would his own family. Even though Itsuki did this for anyone that didn't attack him, he had different reason in Jian's case. Secretly he liked her, and more than just a friend, Itsuki had a slight crush on the girl. He would never admit it of course, and he never showed a sign that this was the case, but it was. Itsuki decided to move to the seat to her direct left, allowing them an easier time at talking. Also this way they would be able to be quieter as to avoid preying ears better.

"Whatever." Replied Jay. "They're all still alive. So fight all you want. I just wanted to send Kingsman a message: I'm only going to get stronger as time passes. And if my mission fails, I'll just train more brutally just to show his cozy Kung Fu skills what it means to go through training for Ansatsuken."
He walked past the girl, wiping some blood from a cut on his cheek.

Seiji stood stock still as he heard the ever cool voice echo through the halls. He felt the same evil presence as before wash over him, gripping at his throat like the claws of some cruel beast. Seiji turned, hoping with every fiber in his being that it wasnât who he thought it was⊠but to no avail. It was Skyler. The brute had once again managed to come across Seijiâs path⊠or should I say, Skyler had once again hunted Seiji down like an animal⊠Seijiâs eyebrow twitched gently, betraying his usual cold expression. Not like it mattered anymore anyways. The President had already seen all that he needed to seeâŠ
Seiki eyed the man quietly, as he had done so before. He didnât speak, knowing that if he were to speak to the man, it could mean his death. However, he didnât have time to think properly before the rushing fist of the President suddenly halted before his face. Seijiâs hair blew back from the gust of air that had accompanied the punch, but he didnât flinch. He knew better than to think this was his all. If it were, he wouldâve been beaten long ago. No, this was but a part of his ability. He was holding back⊠This made Seiji quite angry. It was as if the President held back because he viewed Seiji as weak. Of course, he didnât dare speak this out loud. As he had told Rea before, this man has no mercy and wonât hesitate to strike him down. So instead, Seiji stayed still and ignored the question Skyler asked. Though, it was slight glint in his eye that Seiji would have died had the blow been with full force. The echoing chuckle of the President was the last thing he heard before watching the man walk into his class a few doors down.
He turned to look at the barely moving body of Ryuuto, before abruptly walking off. He didnât want to think about it⊠After finally ending his long walk to class, which had met him with multiple interruptions as well as covering his shirt and umbrella in blood, he slid open the door of his classroom. Others from his class stared, wide-eyed, as he walked in. His teacher didnât say a word. What would he say? Seijiâs expression was even colder than usual due to his run-ins with the President. He walked to the far end of the class and collapsed in a chair, setting his umbrella beside him as he leaned back.

"Listen you- You may be an okay fighter but to do such a bold move like that? He will kill you! It don't matter how powerful you get, alone, you can't win." she paused to listen to her own words. The key word was alone, a idea was made in her head.
"We could take him down, you and I. I need someone on a higher level to help me train. I just got my ass handed to me by one of his more powerful goons... That's never happened to me before, so I ask you, in the nicest way I can, you help me, I help you, we take him down, end of story."
She stopped and waited, in hope, he listened and at least considered her idea. There was no way she would get any better with the weaklings she always picks on, and now there some way past her level, she need help, or at least someone that can help out time to time. She was not the one to make friends, she was looking more of a partnership, along the line of that. 'If he says no... Forget that! I'm not giving him a choice!' she thought to herself, preparing in case he did refuse her offer.

"I'm afraid I can't teach you my style." Said Jay simply. But perhaps I can use a training method you haven't come up with on your own. There are several conditions however, you must follow. At the moment, if you wish to join me, then refrain from attacking innocents pointlessly. Simple enough, no? Nothing too complicated for the rest either."
He turned around to face her now, slipping his hands into his pockets.
"Know that my training is not delicate. It will demand more than everything you have. You will be injured. wounded. And it's possible you could die If I have to push it that far. Are you still intent this is your path?âŠ"

Having grown tired of sitting still, Seiji stood up and collected his things. Class wasnât over, but again, no body dared to question his movements. He walked out of the class, a determined look on his face. Even with allies, Seiji realized that he must gain more power, himself. After all, what use is gathering a group of allies when they are still far weaker than Skyler⊠With his lack of concern for murder, it would take a lot in order to beat him⊠He walked down the halls. He must train. He didnât have a choiceâŠ

She then turned her attention to the is warning. Her life, injury was on the line, this didn't phase her. She had taken damage before, pain, well, she usually blacked out if suffered enough pain, which was what happen today with that over buff skilled fighter had done to her. Never, had a goon taken her down, she had to accept the training or end up like the rest, in fear. She smiled at Jay, "Please, I haven't died by training yet. What ever you throw at me I'll make it look like a kitten!"
Though that was her cocky arrogance speaking, she had a clue that Jay was a much more powerful fighter than her. Deep down she had her doubts but shuttered it with her courage and blunt thinking that it's simply, A, Train, B, Strong, C, take down President. If only it was that easy. Though, she still had to agree with his terms. She groaned then said, "Fine, I won't beat up the 'innocent' anymore. I sure will leave a hole in anyone else though."

But then he smacked her upside the head for her earlier comment about how no one is innocent.
"Maybe not. I Kill people to ensure justice. So I'm not entirely innocent. but I'm not like Skyler's men. That's for sure. You may just have to learn a whole new vocabulary If you want to train under me."
He snatched a nearby poster for some useless club about Justin Bieber, Twilight, or something stupid like that, and wrote a couple addresses, websites, etc.
"Order some weighted clothing." He instructed "That And/Or weights you can wear under your clothes."

With permission now given Itsuki got up and went outside of the classroom. "Finally I can stretch my legs a bit," Itsuki said as he started to go around the school at a slow pace. As he traversed the halls he quickly found Seiji and closed the gap between them by gaining a little more speed until he came up from behind the boy, now riding next to him. "Hey Seiji-kun! What do you say we go find something to do since we are both out of class for now?" Itsuki didn't really care what they did as long as it wasn't something against each other going for blood.

Meanwhile, having successfully skipped out of his class in annoyance, Seiji had resolved to find allies in his battle against the Student President. For, he knew well that the darkness gave Skyler an advantage, and to be able to fight with him on an even ground Seij would have to become stronger. He walked down the hall slowly, his emotionless stare plastered to his face. His thoughts were racing, meaning he was too distracted to notice Itsukiâs approach. That is, until he spoke. Seiji jumped slightly, turning to see the same man who heâd had a brief encounter with earlier, Itsuki. âHeyâŠâ He muttered in response. He wasnât used to having conversation like this, so he wasnât sure what to say. Then it hit him. The allies he was in need of⊠could Itsuki indeed be one? Seiji eyed him carefully, before continuing. âIâm not sure what you had in mind to do, but I suppose it couldnât hurtâŠâ This didnât exactly suit Seijiâs personality, but he didnât have much of a choice. Heâd have to befriend Itsuki if he was ever going to ask for his help.

"All right, done..." she said to him putting her i pod away and crossing her arms.
"Just how strong are you? I never seen you fight." she said almost having doubt in her voice in his abilities.

âItâs that girl againâŠâ Seiji muttered in annoyance, obviously referring to Rea. He turned and slowly headed down the hall after Itsuki. Of course he wanted her to pay for his locker, but it would appear they had more important tasks to handle as of yet. He stopped upon making it to the group. âWell, it appears fate draws us together againâŠâ He tapped his umbrella against his shoulder gently, leaving Itsuki to handle the talking. It wasnât Seijiâs forte anyways.

Ryuto, meanwhile, was sitting in a tree branch in the schoolyard. He had a pissed off expression on his face still. âDamn... If only the âNikushimi no SeichĆâ (from here onward referred to as NS Gang) was still around. Weâd-â He stopped when his sight fell upon a couple of students. They were weak,,, almost pathetically so. He grinned madly, and allowed himself to fall from the tree. The two students turned when the heard Ryuto calling them. âOi, oi⊠Hey kids.â He said, wrapping his arm around one of them. âYa know, it ainât good to be runninâ around a place like this. Prez wonât take kindly to it.â
âWe were just goin-â One of the students began before being cut off with a powerful blow to the gut. He coughed up blood before collapsing on the ground. âWeak bastard.â Ryuto spat, kicking him across the yard. He then turned to the studentâs female companion, whom his arm was currently wrapped around. âOi, girl-y. Whatâre ya doinâ with a guy like that? He ainât nothinâ but a weak bastard.â He grabbed her by the face, turning her to face him. However, her tear-filled eyes caused Ryuto to pause. He stared for a moment, his memories flashing back before he released the girl. âCheh. Itâd be no fun messinâ with ya anywaysâŠâ He choked an excuse, before waving her off and placing his hands in his pockets. Damn it.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for a friend of-"
"P-Please don't hurt me!"
Heinrick stood awkwardly with his arm outstretched as the girl he was trying to talk to started to scamper off. He let out a resigned sigh and dropped his arm back to his side. He was beginning to regret coming to Japan, especially with the slight increase in embarrassing situations he'd been through so far. As usual people were giving him a wide berth as they walked by, but that was something he was used too. What he was not used to however we the small door ways. He was ducking more then usual in order to pass through, and he'd be a little ashamed to admit that his solders almost got caught a few times. He might even have broken one of the door frames.
And what was worse, everyone on campus seemed a bit more nervous around him than normal.
He didn't notice it at first. Heinrick's large size and scarred appearance tended to leave people who weren't used to him a little unnerved. But when he actually tried talking with some of the other students he quickly caught onto some of the near out right fear some of them were showing him. It was almost like they were expecting him to turn violent at any second. This kind of extreme reaction was unusual even for Heinrick's standards. The only guess he could come up with was that there was some added fear to him being an obvious foreigner. Though mass Xenophobia seemed like an unlikely concept.
He new he shouldn't have let his friend talk him into joining him in the exchange program. Especially considering how he'd run off and left Heinrick wandering around clueless on their first day like this. Scratching his head again he took another broad look around the campus field. "Damn it Benoit, where the hell did you run of too?"

"How disappointing."
Another person fell to the ground of the kendo club dojo in a crumpled heap, his wooden sparring blade falling out of his hand. The defeated persons opponent, a foreigner with a metal fencers sparing blade, stood over him with a clear disapproving look on hi face. "Is that it?" He said, some of his french accent shown through as he spoke. "Is that all there is too what passes for swordsmanship on this forsaken eastern rock? People make ridiculous jokes about Japanese blades cutting through tank armor all the time. But When I come over to test what all the hype is about I find a bunch of coordinately changeling hicks that barely know which end of a blade their supposed to hold on to."
"I'll make you eat that you pompous ass." Another student with his own wooden blade rocketed forward and tried to bring an overhead strike down on the foreigner's head. The attack me no resistance and left the attacker startled when the foreigner seemed to vanish. "And you seem to lack as much skill in surprise as you do in actual swordsmanship." The kendo club member spun around only to get a jab from the foreigner's metal poll into his abdomen, making him to double over. The attack was followed up by the fencer smashing his knee into the club members face and breaking his nose.
Benoit gave another scowl as his last victim started to writhe in pain. He couldn't help feeling unsatisfied. The whole point of his journey to the east was to test the newly resurrected western martial arts. He tried challenging the kendo club to see how it held up. But alas not one was able to stand up to him. He'd already taken down to thirds of the assembled members, and all that we left were the ones backed into a corner and unwilling to try their luck.
He spat on the ground and turned to leave. "Well, you did say none of the senior members were here yet. I guess I got to over expectant with you trash. Take those whelps to the infirmary and see if any of your other low rate club mates have big enough stones to attempt a duel with me."

"Yeah that is only because you brutally attacked him for the rumor that he was going to attack you, and it wasn't even true!" One of the Kendo members stood up for their captain but instantly regretted it.
"You insolent worm," Skyler said as he started over to where the outspoken boy was at, not removing his shoes, not caring that it was a disrespect to the dojo. "You dare criticize my punishment?" The boy the spoke out tried to run but it was useless as Skyler vanished from his spot and a split second later had the boy cornered. "It seems you have forgotten what the defiant get," Skyler said grabbing the boy's face and lifted him from the ground leaving him to struggle without hope. "Cobra's Fierce Strike," Skyler said as he used his other hand to strike the boy's chest about where his heart is located. Skyler then tossed him in the air and as the boy came down sent what looks like only ten hits but actually is 30, sending the boy flying into the wall. Once the strikes were finished Skyler said this technique, "Mantis Shows its Furry." It was obvious that when Skyler used the first attack the boy had died right then, but still he proceeded to attack, breaking several bones within the boy's body. Even if he somehow lived he would never be able to move again. "Sorry about that," Skyler said as he turned to the foreign student, "you must be one of the two new foreign exchange students right? Allow me to welcome you to our school as the student body president. If you have any issues with the other students here please let me know and I will take care of things as needed."
"Mr. President, sir, I am deeply sorry for our club member's stupidity. Please do not close us down." One of the unharmed Kendo members said as he bowed on his knees without looking up to the brutal man before him.
"Since you gave an apology I suppose I can leave your club with its second strike. Keep in mind what happens if you get three strikes however." With that said all the other members started to look like they just saw a ghost knowing that another strike meant they would get something worse than simply being disband, although someone that didn't know how things were exactly in this school wouldn't have an idea why they were so scared with this.

He looked over towards the next hallway.
"I can't give you a definite answer to a question you should have asked in a much 'quieter' place. But Itsuki, I'm sure you know what my Answer is going to be, especially regarding King. Let's all meet at a private training location, discuss, and practice, at least before Skyler discovers us and tries to make things more complicated for us. And despite everything he'll probably do, just regard it as a training challenge. Our Spirits will have to be unwavering in thisâŠ'War.' Equipment, Gear, Weighted Clothes, etc. We'll need some when we begin."
putting his closed right fist into his open left hand, he bowed, keeping his eyes on them for any sudden moves.
"Ikken Hissatsu."
And he left yet again, likely to fight some more live battles: for his training.

It was something he would look back on later in his life as a very stupid move at the time.
He held the practice blade where it was for several seconds, keeping his gaze trained on the other, before letting his blade fall back to his side. "Now," Benoit exhaled a breath as he spoke to relieve the tension in his body. "If we can move things to a more civilized subject, my name is BenoĂźt Emmanuel, sir." He moved to extend his hand in a handshake, but caught himself in remembering that that it was Japanese tradition to bow in greeting. Giving a slight nod of his head in an attempt to respect the local customs he continued. "My nationality is french as you probably have heard. Too tell the truth though I came to Chen Zhen for a... different form of cultural exchange. I taken great deal of my life to study some of the lost sword arts of my homeland. I was hoping to to see how my cultures fighting style held up but," He trailed of, casting a glance at the kendo club members. He held a look of disgust on his face as he looked. But a it was mostly centered around the person that been victim of the presidents attack. Heinrick was good with fixing so maybe if he found him quickly....
The fencer returned his focus to the student president. "Well my search for an adequate challenge have met failure so far. You wouldn't happen to know of anyone that might fit my expectations would you?"

"Okay you two, if were going to work together then were going to haft to know are weaknesses as well. So, as for training, Jay all ready on top of things. I've been lacking, so for a first session, you two versus me. No buts or I'll just jump you guys if you deny my request." she said to them as she began to jump back and forth, her heart rate increasing...
She then focused on Seiji and grinned, "And I'll be going after your smart ass first, locker boy."
She then began to get in a fighting position, not thinking of where they were or who was around, she wanted some sort of exsuse to fight, and take down the locker boy. 'I won't let you get away...' she thought.

"First Lesson: Stop screwing around. You're going to get killed a whole lot faster this way. This is your one and only warning not to act so stupidly. Quickly, good, but stupidly, I cannot accept."
He let the girl go, preparing to leave again. "Boys, If she wishes to fight, Oblige her in a more suitable setting, and make it mere sparring. preferably with training gear than actual weapons for now."
And he left, after disciplining the girl...

"Baka-Jay-senpai" she mumbled quietly, never truly giving anyone direct respect.
She then focused on Itsuki who seemed to be a bit to cheerful about all this. Though, by what he had said, she found this interesting. He could not take a hit as much as others, and she had untapped attack power that could destroy many, doing that to him would turned to a murder or... Man slaughter if they would fight for real. Though, if he is fast and agile as he says he is then she may never get to hit him and would just be getting smacked up by him, leaving her defeated and ashamed. She was not worried to much about him doing any real damage, sure maybe knock out but he seemed soft, like a teddy bear, unable to kill even if he tried with his bear hands. So her strength pinpoints his weakness while her weakness is pinpointed by his strength. That would be a good battle to see.
"So your weapon his your baka shoes... Pity, my would be these babes right here. Greaves, steel armor protecting my legs and feet, as well giving more of a kick to my kicks. Not really heavy, my muscles have no problem with them. As for locker boy... I don't know what hes going to do, poke me with that umbrella? Ya right..." she smirked at him then yawned.
"All right lets get a nice place to spar so I can wipe the floor with you two" she began to walk in circles getting impatient.
"Maybe even Jay... I could beat him right?" she said to herself, for once having doubt in her.

A couple toddlers were playing with an older kid who had a cloth wrapped around his eyes. Things seemed nice, as the boy helped direct these children, who were actually from the result of various teen pregnancies. Eventually, most of them got back inside to nap, leaving him some time to play outside with a ball.
That was until a large goon and three of his goons had appeared.
"Hey, you little shit!" Barked the big guy. "we're here for Kevin and Melanie's turd baby. President Kingsman wants us to take the kid into custody as a bargaining chip."
Bart, the older kid, about 6 or 7, didn't bother to look over.
"BitchâŠI also was told you turned down the offer of a few others for a couple nice things. Who does that, anyway?"
No Answer.
"Hey JACKASS!" Boomed the big guy. "Take off that damn cloth! must be screwing up your hearing, too."
Then, Bart suddenly turned his head, and perfectly walked over to the giant, looking up without a hint of fear in him.
"This cloth keeps me from seeing your ugliness." He said simply. "And if anything is making me go deaf, its you, boogerbutt."
"WHAA?! Let's kick his ass, Boss!"
"By all means!"
The goons altogether charged at Bart, who began to do graceful acrobatic flips, and gestures of the hand just inched from their faces. The goons at first didn't see what was wrong, until they felt the sharp pain in their necks, which somehow touched their vocal chords with as little pain as possibly. Their eyes were also cut, but only the outer lid, which still hurt, and scared the shit out of them.
The biggest guy began to get furious. He shouted for four to five more guys to come over, the rest of his squad. Bart simply assumed his stance, and hoped he could get through this.
