"I am the 'King'! Let's see...." She scanned the group of swords who averted their eyes the moment she landed her focus on them. The excitement was filling her mind every second passed.

"5 and 8.... Go to the infirmary now and drag Yagen out!" The moment she said her 'command', Kashuu and Midare dashed out of the room as the remaining held their breath to see who will win this game. Minutes later, Midare appeared with the said sword over his shoulder with Kashuu following behind sulking.

"Midare wins!"

"Let me down, Midare! I still got work to complete!" Throwing him down unceremoniously, the lad readjusted his glasses and stood up to leave before she stopped him with a cheeky grin on her face. "Come on, play with us! I promise this would end quickly so that you can continue on your research! Please?" 

"...Fine." Sitting down, she gathered everyone's sticks and made sure that they were at the same level before stretching her hand out. Everyone picked their own sticks.

"Who's the 'King'?"

Kashuu raised his hand up excitedly. Revenge was what he was going to do.

"Hmm... 3 and 10. Go to the pond and submerge yourself for as long as you could!" She darkened her face. What kind of 'command' was that? As Yagen and her stood in the pond, both went down the water at Kashuu's call.

"28...29...30 seconds!" He shouted. Both of them were still submerged in water before she stood up coughing. Panting, she took in huge breaths of air to make up for the oxygen debt before the sword beside her stood up as well.

"Y-You... Kashuu..." She said in between her breaths. He flashed a smile at her and left the pond without forgetting to pull her up. Towels were immediately wrapped around them as they shivered furiously. She felt so cold even when it was currently spring. Sneezing afterwards, Kashuu went forward and wrapped his hands around her to warm her up.

"Let's get you changed, Aruji." Taking her back to her room, he picked out a set of kimono and left it in the bathroom. 

"I won't play 'King' with you anymore! You're so mean, Kashuu!" She complained. Sneezes soon filled the air as she exited the bathroom, only to see the sword in his devastated expression. Pulling her forward, he buried his face into her neck. "Sorry..." He mumbled out the words. Being a soft-hearted sage, she took hold of him and knocked his forehead into hers. Both collapsed onto the floor with their hands onto their forehead. A headbutt really hurt a lot.

"T-That's your warning! You still have a punishment!"

"Eh! That's just a warning? It hurts a lot!"
