(Third person POV)

Akiri is now sitting in his class with Stella when he overheard Kagami and a couple of female students talking to Ikki

Ikki:  What? you want to learn swordsmanship from me?

Kagami: Yes! You're very strong! Since I have someone like you from the same class, I thought I'd be missing a great oppurtunity if I didn't learn from you!

Kagami then started to cling to Ikki's arm and Akiri noticed that Stella had an annoyed look on her face

Ikki: I-I see. Sure, If I can be usefull to you, then I dont mind teaching you

Kagami: "A candid coverage! The invincible Another One, Ikki Kurogane's heated mentorship takes the reporter to heaven" That should be the front page of the next issue!

Ikki: Well, I think your purpose has changed...

Kagami: No big deal! So we'll start tomorrow, then?

Akiri then looked at Stella who still looks annoyed.

Akiri: Oh? Looks like lil Stella is jealous

Stella: Shut it, cuz!

Akiri then heard a couple of male students talking.

??? 1: What's he doing being so lovey-dovey? Getting all the attention

??? 2: Don't get carried away. You're just a F-knight reject

The door then suddenly opened and Yuri had walked into the class.

Yuri: Hi everyone. Let's begin today's final... Homeroom

She then started to vomit blood and fell to the ground

Everyone: Hey, Yuri-chan!

Akiri: I'll never get used to this...

(Timeskip)

(Akiri POV)

It is now in the evening and I am currently in my room talking with my father on the phone

Dad: So, what did you get?

Akiri: It's been two weeks since my mission, where have you been? you weren't answering my calls

Dad: Sorry, something came up and I had to deal with it

Akiri: *sighs* Okay then. They are planning to make their move on the next Seven Star Battle Festival

Dad: Seven Star Battle Festival, so that's when they're gonna do it.

Akiri: And the attack on the mall the other day, It was related after all. They were trying to obtain information

Dad: What information?

Akiri: I don't know, Our fighting style perhaps? Stella did engage in a fight

Dad: She did? This might be bad. Anything else?

I paused for a moment before answering

Akiri: It seems like there's someone else behind this as well

Dad: What? Someone else? Who?

Akiri: I don't know. But whoever it is, they can't be anything good

He paused for a moment and then answers

Dad: Good job, this is crucial information to aid our investigation.

Akiri: Thanks

Dad: You can lay low for a while, we'll handle the rest. We'll contact you if we need anything else

Akiri: Roger

Dad then hung up and I lie down on my bed

(Next day)

(Third person POV)

It is now in the morning and Akiri is walking around the school. He then saw a couple of female students balancing on one foot and he got confused.

But after he noticed Ikki and Kagami standing there in front of the group, he knew exactly what's going on. He then approaches Ikki

Akiri: Morning Ikki

Ikki: Ah, Morning Akiri

Kagami: Senpai. What kind of effect does this training provide?

Ikki: First of all, I want you to learn how to use your inner muscles. And the importance of your core strength.

Kagami then begins to write down what Ikki said in her notebook

Ikki: During a fight, you'll be putting your weights on one leg a lot more than both legs. In Chinese martial arts, the posture of putting your weight equally on both legs is called "The error of double pressure," and recognized as something to be cautious about

Akiri: Impressive. You sure know your stuff

Ikki: Thanks

Kagami: I see. I have no idea what that means, but I'll just write what you said word for word

Ikki: Well, I guess that's fine

Suddenly, a male voice started to speak to Ikki

??? 1: You look like you're having fun, surrounded by girls. Failed senpai

They look over, and saw that it was a group of five male students from their class

??? 1: What a good position you're in. You think you're some kind of great senior student?

Ikki: Who are you?

The group of boys then summoned their devices and smirked at Ikki. 

Kagami: What are you guys doing?

??? 1: Isn't it obvious? We're going to teach him his place!

Akiri started to move towards the boys but was held back by Ikki

Ikki: I'll handle this

Akiri: Just don't use your device

Ikki: I wouldn't even need to

Akiri then nodded and stepped aside. The boys rushed Ikki, he then got into a stance and kicks the feet of the two boys in front of him, causing them to fall to the ground. He then kicks someone that was going for his side in the face and quickly elbows a guy coming from behind. The leader of the group then aimed his gun at Ikki, but he flicks a pebble into his gun, jamming it. Ikki then walks up him and claps his hands making the leader fall to his knees.

Ikki: Deploying your device at a place other than the designated areas is against school rules

The five of them then got on thier knees and bowed down to Ikki and apologizes

Ikki: Huh?

Kagami: What are you guys? In a situation like this, you're supposed to say, "Huh! You'll regret this!" and run away!

Akiri: Or maybe do a menacing laugh and say, "You fool! you think it would be that easy?" and then reveal your true form!

Ikki: Well, I don't know about that

??? 1: We were so envious of Kurogane!

??? 2: You're seriously strong!

??? 3: And chatting with girls!

 ??? 4: I wanna be strong too!

??? 5: And be popular with girls!

??? 1: Will you give us some lessons too?

All of them: Please!

Kagami: You guys are slick

Ikki: Of course I will. Why don't you start with standing on one foot like everyone else?

All of them: Yes master!

Ikki: Master...

They quickly stood up and stand on one foot. Kagami then starts to write on her notebook again

Kagami: That's wonderfull! Even the crooked youngsters are immediately straightening up. This the educational, revolutionary, Kurogane Method! Maybe I can make big money If I sold this online.

???: Excuse me...

Ikki then turned round to see a group of female students

??? : If you don't mind, could you teach us too?

Ikki: Yeah. Let's do it together

They then joined the others and stand on one foot. Akiri then looks at Ikki

Akiri: You're way too generous. Each one of those guys are talented blazers. Don't you think you're making more future competitions

Ikki: Funny, Stella said the same things as well.

Akiri: Then why do you do it?

Ikki: If that comes true, then it is worth teaching and fighting them. Besides, Bad things can happen to them as well, just like at the mall the other day. If they find themselves in a similar situation, If there's a chance that my advice may be able to help them, then I want to do whatever I can to help them

Akiri: I see. You're a kind person Ikki, I respect that

Ikki: Thank you

Akiri: Well, I'm just gonna go and walk around. See ya

Ikki: Bye Akiri

Akiri then went away to take a walk.

(Timeskip)

Akiri is walking towards his dorm room when he sees Ikki with Shizuku and Stella. He then overheard them talking.

Stella: Ikki! If you're going to teach Shizuku, why don't you teach me something, too?!

Ikki: What? To you?

Stella: Is it that... You don't want to?

Ikki: it's not, like that

Stella: What?! Fine, fine. I don't need you too teach me! More like, I don't want you to teach me. To tell you the truth! I just said it to see what happens!

Stella then walks away from Ikki with an angry look on her face

Akiri: (thoughts) This is bad. Ikki's being dense while Stella is being a tsundere

He then decided to follow Stella and walk towards where she was heading. After a few moments, he saw Stella talking with Nagi and sees Nagi giving something to Stella. Stella then walks away looking excited. Akiri then approaches Nagi

Akiri: Hey Nagi

Nagi: Oh, hello Akiri

Akiri: What was it that you gave Stella? She looks happy for some reason

Nagi: Oh it's just a game I borrowed from Kagamin

Akiri: A game?

Nagi: Yup! It's called "Private School Prince Academy"!

Akiri: (thoughts) A dating sim?

He then sighs and rolled his eyes

Akiri: Okay then. Thanks Nagi!

He then runs off towards the dorm building

(Timeskip)

When he arrives in front Stella and Ikki's dorm room. To his surprise the door wasn't locked and he opens it and quietly went inside. He then sees Stella sitting on the couch in front of the TV playing the game Nagi gave her while wearing headphones.

He looks at the TV to see that the guy she chooses looks like Ikki

Akiri: (thoughts) Seriously?

Akiri smirks then went behind Stella unnoticed and takes off her headphones

Akiri: Looks like you two have finally started dating

Stella: *shocked*A-Akiri?!

Akiri: Yes, I'm Akiri

Stella: *nervous* I-I'm not dating Ikki!

Akiri: I didn't say anything about Ikki, cuz!

Stella: Damn it, I fell for it again!

Akiri: So, how long have you two been dating?

Stella: *sighs* Two weeks...

Akiri then sat beside Stella on the couch

Akiri: I see. So, you wanna talk about it? You don't look too happy

Stella: W-what makes you say that?

Akiri: I saw what happened earlier

Stella just looks down saddened

Akiri: I'm sure he didn't mean it that way

Stella: He didn't do anything to show that he likes me in the last two weeks... W-what if, what if he doesn't like me anymore...

Akiri: Let me ask you this, have you did anything to show him that you like him in the last two weeks

Stella: N-no...

Akiri: See, that's the problem.

Stella just looks at him confused

Akiri: Sometimes all you have to do, is just talk to him and tell him what you want

Stella: But what if he thinks that I like dirty things. He'll be disappointed in me...

Akiri: Are you asking him for bondage play or something?

Stella: *blushing* O-of course not! I just want him to k-kiss me that's all

Akiri: Then it's fine, couples do it all the time. Besides, maybe he likes dirty things as well

Stella then looks happy and motivated

Stella: O-okay then... I'm gonna tell him!

Akiri: That's the spirit!

Stella then looks at Akiri

Stella: Thanks cuz, I'm feeling better now!

Akiri: Anytime cuz

Stella then goes to hug Akiri, he smiled and returns the hug. After a few seconds they broke the hug and Akiri gets up.

Akiri: As I said before, you two have my full support.

Stella: Thanks. But I don't think that he will be the same

Akiri: Don't worry I'm sure he will. If he doesn't, I'll ask my mom to knock some sense into that old man

Stella just smiled at him.

Akiri: Well then, I guess my work here is done. I should be getting to my room.

Stella: Okay. Bye cuz

Akiri: Bye Stella, and good luck

He then walks out the door and closes it.

Akiri: (thoughts) I guess watching all of those romance animes payed off

He smiled and walks towards his room.
