Chapter 6
" So far, we made it in time for school. The group is quite small and I know most of the students already, so there might not be any problems. Anyway I have to go to gym class, I'll call you later dad. Bye." I said as I secretly used the communication spell." Kiru, tell me all the details about the gym. I heard that it got remodeled, is that right?"
" Yes. We modified it to fit everyone's taste. We got a rock wall with platforms for rock climbing. We even installed a pool with diving boards. And everything is indoors."
" Excellent. I knew you would be capable of setting up all of this in the five minutes we had before starting class."
"Naku!!!!! Why do you always leave me behind in the changing room? I thought you were gonna wait for me." Said Takira as she chased me down.
" Sorry Takira. I had to talk to the teacher about something." I replied hugging her.
" Naku! Come sit with us." Said Riuyo as he waved at me.
" Ok. Just hold on a minute." I reply." Takira, I'm going to sit with my friends ok? We might sit together during lunch, I'll tell the teachers to save you a seat."
" Ok, but I'm sitting next to you." She said determined.
" So, what happened?" I asked as I sat down.
" See those students over there? They are always together, ever since the first class. What do you think about them?" Said Kuriagi.
" They're probably just adjusting to the new school. We should make them feel like they belong here, but keep an eye on them, you can never be too careful." I reply.
" Class, today we're going to be assigned to two teams. Since we're a small group, I'll join one team, so for the first team we'll have Naku as the leader and for the second team, Yukai is the leader. In Naku's team will be Takira, Riuyo, Shibaki, Rigeki, Rojin and Yuki. I'm gonna be on Yukai's team along with Migeki, Jinriu, Kuriagi, Satori and Keimu. Just like last year, we're going to play dodgeball, but this time is going to be different. If you get hit by the ball, you stay frozen in place. So as I normally say. Hajimaru (1)!" Said Kiru before blowing on the whistle.
" Sensei (2)! Wait a minute. I would like to be in the same group as my brother. We've been together for all our lives. Can we switch a team member?" Said Rigeki trying not to sound desperate.
" Don't worry Rigeki, I'll be fine. You can go with the other team." Responded Migeki as he hugged his brother.
" Actually, I'll allow it. Only just this once. Keimu can switch with Rigeki." Said Kiru.
" Arigato gozaimasu (3)." Said Rigeki as he bowed at the teacher.
" Look out!" Yelled Yuki.
" Whoa, not today Kiru. No matter how much you try, you'll never hit me." I said with a smirk as I was spinning to dodge the hit.
" Does someone know what is the way to win this thing?" Said Keimu as she ran around, trying to avoid being hit.
" Just use any part of the gym. If we reach the high platforms on the rock wall, we might be able to hide." I said as I stated to climb.
" You can hit them back and still be able to play. In this game there aren't many rules." Said Kiru as he took aim of the others.
" Takira!" I screamed as I jumped from one ledge to kick the ball from hitting Takira's head. After kicking the ball I grabbed on to the ledge and pulled myself up. I did a head count to see if anyone got eliminated.
" This won't do. They'll just start going up through their side and get a shot. Does anyone have a plan?" Said Rojin.
" I have one, but you guys have to move as fast as you can to not get hit. I think that some of you guys know what I'm talking about." I said as I looked up to everyone.
" I'm on it." Said Rojin as he stood up." I'm too lazy to do this more than once so we have to get this right at the first try."
" You have to stay here and act as bait. We'll take care of the rest. All you have to do is redirect the ball to us." I said before jumping from the platform.
" That's our cue. We gotta time this right." Said Shibaki as he followed me off the platform.
We went to the sides of the gym and ran up the walls before jumping off of them in a backflip motion, kicking the redirected dodgeball in to the other team.
" Let's switch it up. They might suspect that we'll do the same thing next time." I whispered to Shibaki.
The others wondered what we were planning. I thought of doing a switch type move with a spinning twist in midair. Shibaki was thinking of faking the throw and let someone else go in for the kill. We went with my idea because everyone that I know seems to be afraid of me when I get out of hand. So as my plan went through, we started it like our previous move. So far, two of the other team's members got eliminated.
" They are doing the same! Aim for the corners of the roof." Said Kiru as he had his eye on my every move.
" Let's speed this up! At this rate they'll hit us before jumping off the walls." Yelled Shibaki.
We jumped off the walls and did the same backflip motion but when the ball headed towards us we locked our arms together and since we were moving in opposite directions, the force caused us to spin like a tornado. We impulse each other by pressing our feet together and unlocking our arms. We landed on the opposite sides of where we started and jumped again, this time I grabbed the ball as Shibaki handed it to me in the air. He was just inches under my trajectory. So close that we had to arch our bodies so we didn't crash into each other. Once I had the ball, we locked our feet together, changing our directions. After we changed our directions, we unlocked our feet and Shibaki landed on the platform while I went higher. I hit the ball and knocked out two other players.
" Amazing!" Said Rojin.
" Is something like that allowed? Or even possible?" Said Takira.
" They're impressive. They move faster than anything I've ever seen. Could they be demons or something like that?" Said Yuki in a breathtaking gasp.
" Did all that exercise tire you out? You look like you can't take anymore. Maybe you should rest, you don't want anyone getting scared when you lose control in your current state." Said Kiru as he smirked.
I try to figure out what he was talking about. After a quick look at my arms, I saw that my powers were draining. I noticed that I used a lot of my dragon power on those two moves. If I focused hard enough I could even see that my scales started to grow. I took deep breaths to calm my heart rate, the sooner I relaxed the faster I can regain my energy.
" That's better. I'll have to be more careful not to repeat that again." I said to myself as my scales completely vanished from my body.
" Here bite on these. They will help you in the game without you using up a lot of energy. They are coated with sugar so... You know... It helps with your cravings for sweets." Said Rojin as he handed me a pair of chopsticks.
" Thanks." I said as I grabbed the chopsticks. I placed them in my mouth and started to chew on the sugar coating. I spat them out after finishing the sugar coat and went back into full gear, only this time I would probably go insanely overboard with the complex moves.
" Wow, a change in the atmosphere around you. I like it. It makes you look dark, deadly, lethal perhaps?" Said Kiru while I stayed in the center of my side, showing no emotion.
" Let's make this fair. You know I hate it when I leave my enemies at a disadvantage." I said as I cracked my knuckles, my arms, my neck and even my spine.
" Very well. Just stop doing that. It creeps me out." He replied. He threw the ball hitting every one but me. " That extra one was to keep it extra fair." He said after catching the ball.
" Oh my. Then I'll just have to use this." I said before pulling out the second chopstick from my pocket. I placed it in my mouth and waited for Kiru to make his next move. As he threw the ball straight to my face, I looked at the student standing next to Kiru, then looked at the opposite direction and quickly looked back. When I looked, I saw that the chopstick had redirected the ball and hit the student in his neck, causing him to choke on himself.
" Impressive. You have grown to be this powerful. Then again, you didn't see this one." He said as he pointed to the roof.
I looked up and decided to lie flat on the floor. I still had my chopstick in my mouth and the sugar coat ran out. What could I do with just a piece of wood in me mouth? I did nothing until I felt the force of the chopstick pushing down on my jaw. I tasted nothing but blood. When I took the chopstick out of my mouth, I opened my eyes and saw that the ball was perfectly balanced on the tip of the chopstick. The scratch on my jaw was completely gone after a few seconds.
" You're out. I caught the ball fair and square." I said as I stood up. " I believe this belongs to you, so let me return it. Anyway, lunch time." I said as I pointed to the bell before it started ringing.
" Well done. I couldn't have taught you better myself." Kiru said as we walked down the hall to reach our table.
" You chose the new kids to be in your team. Did you find out anything interesting or important?" I said as we sat down with our food.
" Yes. By ruling out some obvious details, I believe that I have a clue on who is your brother. But I'm not completely sure because this school has around seven advanced groups of your grade. If I were you, I would keep an eye on those boys over there." He said as he pointed out to the table where Yukai, Migeki and Rigeki were sitting on.
" I guess I'll have to keep my friends close and my enemies closer." I said as I took the first bite out of Kiru's cake.
" HEY!!" He yelled as he saw the piece of cake missing.
" I'm sorry did you want the part with the strawberry? Here, you can have this strawberry." I replied as I handed over a strawberry from the tray.
