===[Salem's Thorn]===

Salem's POV: 

I've been hearing a lot about this Kenji boy and he have been in my mind of getting him as my slave ordering him around as I become immortal. I felt Roman presence in here.

Salem: "Roman, ask me why your here?"

Roman: "I have information of where this Kenji Kaslana goes to school at but they have an extremely strong, powerful bodyguards." That information caught me off guard a little.

Salem: "Hmmm... It seems that our objective is gonna get a lot more difficult than I have expected... *sigh* I guess you guys could take a break for once." This is unbelievable, this is gonna be a lot more harder than I was hoping for.

Roman: "A-Are you sure-"

Salem: "I'm not gonna repeat myself, Roman. Don't make me change my mind..." I turned around to him and before he left he turned back to me.

Roman: "Oh yeah! About Union Academy, it seems that they teach this Kenji like a punching bag. I hate to admit, I feel sorry about the boy." I was shock about the news.

Salem: "That's news to me but I'm not surprised tho, that's Ozpin for you, always wanting power to defeat me. Now you can leave as I may want to give our objective some thoughts." Roman nod his head and quickly walked away.

===[Hidden Garden]===

Kenji was walking around the place that he was in until a familiar person that he knows has called his name until he turned around to see one of his friend, Kasumi.

Kasumi: "This is very unexpected to see you here, how have you been?" Kasumi smiled with her arms folded under her breast.

[Kasumi]

Kenji: "I'm good, I see that you been training a lot since we last saw each other." Kasumi blushed a little but she chuckled.

Kasumi: "Haha... Of course I have and I see that you have been training as well, my brother, Hayate will be proud of you. Oh! How about you participate in a tournament that I always participate in so I could see how well your training?" 

Kenji: "I don't know at the moment but I'll for sure, will keep at the mind." Kasumi put her hand on his shoulder startling him a little bit.

Kasumi: "I heard what happened at Union Academy. I'm sorry for what they did to you. I'm always here for you no matter what."

Kenji: "Kasumi, thank you for that but I'm fine-"

Kasumi: "No, your not. I'm very serious and I know what I'm saying. I care about you and I don't want to lose you, ever." Kenji looked at her and nod his head, understanding her concern towards him.

Kenji: "*sigh* Since I trust you I'll tell you but I'll be a long one so we'll have to sit down for this one."

[Flashback]

Kenji was in the nurse office at Union Academy after getting attacked by Team RWBY, ORC, Sona's Peerage, and Bakugo just a day after Ozpin revealed that Kenji didn't have powers.

Team RWBY, ORC, and Sona's Peerage's attitude had changed after that revealed.

Ruby didn't know what to say but she care about him but she was being force into betraying Kenji's friendship and his trust towards her.

Weiss had a crush on Kenji before Ozpin revealed about the no power since then she still have a little crush on him but knowing how much damage she cause him she doubt that he'll like her after that.

Issei was Kenji's old friend, after Kenji met Rias, Issei been focused on her body instead of sticking with the bro code and that made Kenji dislike him more and more but he stopped talking to him completely.

Sona was a good friend to Kenji, just wishing him to beat her in a game of chess to marry him but she still want that wish to come true after that reveal with power or not. Rias had lie to her thinking that Kenji had said something perverted towards Sona.

Bakugo, well, Bakugo is Bakugo, there's nothing to say about him...

[Reality]

Kenji told Kasumi about what happened and he explained everything to her for about two hours. Kasumi couldn't believe the news, she handed his hand and looked at him and smiled.

Kasumi: "Your lucky that I care a lot about you. I know Ayane care a lot about you, I know she wouldn't stop talking about you once I-"

Ayane: "You don't need to let me know that you talked to him." They turned around to see Ayane, Kasumi's half sister was sitting on the tree listening on as she got off the tree and walked over to them.

[Ayane]

Ayane: "It suck to heard what happened to you Kenji. I'll kick all their butts if they treat me the same way they treated you." Ayane walked over to you and put her hand on his cheek just looking at him.

Kenji: "Umm...."

Ayane: "You changed a lot Kenji, I could tell." Then she put her hand on his chest. "Well trained too, rough chest too, huh!"

Kasumi: "O-Okay Ayane! I think your doing too much teasing!" Ayane just chuckled a little and faced Kasumi with her hands on her hips.

Ayane: "Hmph! Your just jealous that you can't be as bond as me. But never mind me, Kenji, how about you transfer me... Maybe Kasumi also if you want to St. Tawagama... Oh! Remember Misaki?" Ayane asked and she saw him blushing knowing he has a bit of a crush on her in the past but currently he went silence about that since he doesn't know he should be with.

Kenji: "Y-Y-Yeah I do, how could I not remember her."

Ayane: "Yeah! You do remember her but answer my question." Kenji was trying to remember what her question was until he know what it was.

Kenji: "Yeah, I could that for the both of you girls." Kasumi bows.

Kasumi: "Thank you Kenji, I appreciate it." Ayane then pull Kasumi and walked away but looked back to Kenji and waved to him.

Ayane: "Sorry to leave early but I have to TALK  with my little sis about my offer, see you later!"

Kenji: "Those two never get old do they? I should head back to the academy and talk with the headmaster about Ayane's offer now instead of later."
