Chapter 47

After the battle between Nagisa and Fubuki ended, everyone was gathered inside the building of the Azuma Residence. Since Nagisa wasn't part of the Azuma Family, he declined being the head which in turn made Fubuki the new head of the Azuma's. Now that everyone was here, Nagisa was suddenly tackled by Yuuki, Himari, and Yachiho.

"Nagi!!!!! That was.....holy crap. I can't believe you did it!!! You actually beat chief in a real fight!!!!!"

"Just when I thought I successfully used my ability, you stole the show, Tomioka-kun. Congratulations."

"Well, it seems like you handled yourself well. But don't go pulling stunts like that again."

"Everyone.....I appreciate the gesture.....BUT CAN YOU GET OFF OF ME!!!!"

Soon everyone began to laugh as they realized they had Nagisa pinned to the ground. After getting off of him, everyone saw Tenka reach out her hand as she helped the boy up. With a smile on both their faces, they knew exactly what the other was thinking. It was obvious Nagisa was going to win, because he would rather die than to bring shame to Tenka or anyone in the sixth. As this happened, Tobera walked over to Himari.

"You've finally understand the qualities of your ability. Now you just need to figure out how to draw them out. You're also a splendid Azuma, Himari. Make sure to make lots of babies for the Azuma's!"

"What?!"

"You already have a man,right? Yachiho too. I'm sure Nagisa's genes would be a great help to boosting the Azuma's strength. In which case, Yuuki and Nagisa will join in on the Baby Making Lessons."

"I need an adult."

The moment Nagisa said this, he saw Fubuki walking towards Tobera. As soon as she was standing before her mother, Fubuki merely looked at her as she held her wrist to get her attention.

"Fubuki......who do you think you're talking to?!"

"Heh.......you've gotten strong. Do as you wish as head of the Azuma clan."

"Yes. The Azuma must be strong. I'll make a new Azuma clan while keeping the same ideology. Let's all get along moving forward. Chief Izumo, Chief Uzen, thank you for training my daughters and having very capable allies strong enough to fight beside them."

~A few hours later~
The participants of the banquet were currently staying in the Azuma estate for the night to get rid of their fatigue. Right now, Yachiho was in a hot bath as she was smiling to herself. Right now, she was reminiscing on what Himari talked to her about on their way back.

"You know, i've been thinking. When I was younger, you would stick with me everyday. Was that to protect me from Homare? Not only that, today too, you stalled Tomioka-kun just to give me time to finish my own battle.....thank you, Onee-chan."

"You look happy, Yachiho."

As Yachiho heard this voice, she saw Maia walking into the bath as well. The moment she sat down, both Maia and Yachiho were both enjoying the water. However, the silence was soon broken as Maia spoke up.

"That boy is special."

"Hmmm?"

"Obviously our mother was still holding back, but it's also clear he didn't give it his all yet. Haven't you noticed? He hasn't drawn his sword or use any swordsmanship during the banquet. Tomioka Nagisa, what an interesting man."

"Don't go getting any ideas. After all, he's a proud member of the sixth unit."

~Meanwhile~
"Aw man, this sucks. I was going to tease that Yuuki boy but he already left with Fubuki and Himari to train. Not only that, Nagisa already left as he said he had plans."

Right now, Tobera was seen inside of the room Nagisa was suppose to be sleeping in all by herself in a swimsuit. Truth be told, the boy did way better in this battle than she could've imagined. The more that she watched him fight, the more potential she saw in the young boy. The scariest part was that Nagisa hasn't even hit his peak yet. However, such a diamond that shines brightly is bound to be seen by everyone.

"Be careful, Nagisa. I'm not the only one with eyes on you."

~With Nagisa~
"Thanks for taking me here, Tenka-san."

Right now, both Nagisa and Tenka were seen standing in front of the First Unit base. After he had a good nap and recovered from his fatigue, Nagisa asked Tenka to take him here after he received a call. The moment he arrived, Nagisa saw someone running towards him.

"Tomioka-senpai!!!!!"

"Oh, Konomi-san."

After what happened at the Azuma Banquet, Nagisa received a call from Konomi saying she wanted to train. Truth be told, the boy still felt a bit bad with how he acted the first time they trained again. This was his chance to make up for it, so he took it. Soon the boy began to turn his head towards Tenka.

"Be safe now. You don't want to leave a bad impression, Tomioka-senpai~."

"Not you too, Tenka-san."

With a giggle escaping her lips, Tenka soon teleported away as it was now just Nagisa and Konomi. Seeing that it was now just the two of them, Konomi and Nagisa soon took a stance as they both were ready to get started. However, Konomi wasted no time as she took the same stance as Nagisa.

"Monster Form."

Suddenly the two of them lunged towards each other as they each tried to strike the other with their own hand-blade. Konomi could feel the difference between herself and Nagisa in an instant. The speed, power, and precision of Nagisa's attacks were all top tier. Each and every one of his strikes were strong enough to be a finishing hit. Soon the girl was brought out of her thoughts when she heard Nagisa speak to her.

"If you want to use the technique effectively, make sure to outwit the opponent. Even if some of your attacks are feints, put a good amount of killing intent in each and every strike. Force your opponent to panic and the moment you see a gap in their defense......"

The moment Nagisa said this, he swiftly thrusts his right hand forward. Konomi couldn't help but gulp as she saw the boy's hand just inches away from her throat. She could tell that this was her defeat, but she definitely learned something from this experience.

"........strike."

"I see, thank you, Tomioka-senpai."

As the two of them sat down for a brief moment, Konomi handed Nagisa a bottle of water. The boy thanked her as he began to drink it while Konomi simply stared at him. Seeing this, Nagisa merely looked at the girl.

"Do you have something you want to say?"

"Well, it's just, I was wondering how to thank you. So far, at the chief assembly, it seemed like we were the youngest of the group. Though you seem to be a year older than me, it felt nice having someone around my age. Not to mention......I was wondering how to thank you. I'm sure me asking you out of nowhere for training must have been a nuisance."

"Konomi-san.... stop thinking too much."

As Nagisa said this, he playfully chopped the top of Konomi's head. While the chief held her head and was pouting, she saw a small smile forming on Nagisa's face. As Nagisa looked in the distance, he began to speak his mind.

"It's not a nuisance to help someone, like myself, who wants to get stronger. Besides, I wouldn't be a good senpai if I ignored my kouhai's need for help. So just relax, ok."

"U-um, sure."

While Konomi said this, she felt her face slowly turning red. She couldn't understand it, but hearing Nagisa say that actually helped her a relax a bit. However, Nagisa noticed how the girl was still tense. Seeing this, the boy simply grabbed her hand as they began to walk off.

"Come with me."

"E-eh, Tomioka-senpai, where are we going?!"

"We're going to an arcade to relax. Rest is also important after training hard."

"W-wait.....it's just the two of us. Does that mean.....I'm going on a date with Tomioka-senpai?!"

Seeing Konomi's reaction, a small chuckle escaped from Nagisa. Truth be told, with all the training and fights he had, Nagisa felt he could use a break. Soon the boy began to smile as he was excited to finally relax.

"I guess it's time I finally act like a teenager, huh."
