Y/n's pov:

Tamaba:"Heeh~ You did a good job dodging that." Tamaba said as she starts approaching me into the hot spring.

Seeing this, I stood up from the ground and get on a fighting stance, now with my knuckledusters equipped.

Tamaba:"Hoh? I guess you don't like to get stabbed." She said to me.

She then raised her katana with one hand as she send a downward-vertical slash towards me, but thanks to the how she moves without even looking or her body language, I couldn't react to it in time.

But luckily, I managed to block it with my knuckledusters. As I blocked, I see the sash that contained the original data had seperated from her body enough for me to grab.

I took this oppurtunity and went to grab it, but she managed to stop me by bring the side of her Katana upwards, bringing my hand as well.

(Fudou=Y/n)

She then rotates her blade to the left side as it brings me to the same side, making me unbalanced. She then taks this oppurtunity and goes for a stab towards my hip.

Fortunately, I managed to regain some of my footing and to back hand slap the blade away towards the right with my right hand as it briefly makes her unbalanced.

This finally gave me an opening to retaliate as I use the momentumn from my right back hand to bring down my lift fist towards her by sliding my entire body to the right. But she suddenly bing her Katana up to my chin, forcing my to spin to the right while falling.

I managed to dodge the blade as I fall and roll towards the right. I then stood up and was now on my kness as I see her now standing in balance.

Tamaba:"Wooow~ You really good at blocking and dodging." She praised me.

Y/n:'And your crazy good at redirecting your opponents focus.' I said in my head.

Tamaba:"Heeeey~ Aren't gonna say something good about me?" She asked with a small frown.

Y/n:'Predicting her moves through her eyes is a no brainer. And if I focus on her body, I'd get distracted. This strategy of hers is working really good.' I pointed out in my head.

And so, I narrow my eyes ad I began to think and try to adapt to her fighting style as she notices this.

Tamaba:"...Ah! Your probably thinking that you don't get me! I get that alot." She said reading me like a book. "But, I also don't understand everybody either." She finished.

I just stayd silent. To be honest, I felt bad for her. People around her probablt shunned her just because of how she acts, which she can't even control.

Y/n:'And now look at this....I feel bad for her.' I said in my head.

Tamaba:"You probably think I'm a monster, huh?" She wrongly predicted. "I get that alot too, you know. The first people to ever call me that were probably my parents..." She revealed which shocked me.

Y/n:'So, even her own parents see her as a monster.' I said in my head as I felt even more sorry for her.

Tamaba:"Back then, my dad was really angry and my mom was crying, but I couldn't understand or know how to react." She said a she dashes towards me. "I still don't understand!" She said.

As she gets to me, she sends a downard, vertical slash to me as I parry it away with my knuckdusters. This gave me an opening as I take this oppurtinity to get in.

But as I try to strike, she brings up her sword to infront of my face, as I forcibly stop my advance and nearly stabbing my own eye from my own move.

Y/n:'Tch, how troublesome!' I complained in my head.

She then brings her sword up towards my chin as I do back handspring to dodge as I land on my knees. I then notice that she her left hand was holding and supporting her blade, which gave me a little bit of knowledge on what style she's using.

Y/n:"...Shindo..Munen." I whispered to myself.

Tamaba:"Shindo Munen? Oh, my style?" She said as she heard me. "That's 1 out of 10." She said as she suddenly grabs on the hilt with 2 hands.

She then suddenly throws a horizontal slash towards my leg as I bring it up. She then pulls her sword back and sends a elbow, which I block, but she suddenly pushed behind me knee, making me unbalanced and fall.

As I was falling to the ground, I recognized that she just suddenly switch styles as she goes for a downward vertical slash to me as I roll away and dodged it.

Y/n:'Asayama Ichiden!?' I asked in my head.

Tamaba:"Hahaha~ Someone like you couldn't figure me out." She said to me.

No pov:

Warabi was now currently fighting against Misogi as she struggles to stay awake as she managed to get hit by one of her darts.

Warabi:"Yo-you bitch!" She insulted Misogi. 'Damn it! My body feels heavy.' She said in her as she heavily gasps for air.

Misogi:"...Ten....sou...Metsu." She said as she goes to smack Warabi.

Warabi reacts to this by blocking it with her swords hilt as it only manages to hit her hand's which had gloves on, but as the smack hit, her view suddenly went blurry.

She then looks to where the pipe managed to hit her as she see's that it had a mark on her, which was also laced.

Warabi:'No way! The mouthpiece was also lced!?' Warabi yelled in her head. Thi-this is bad....at this rate, I'll be...' Warabi though as she tries to stay awake.

And so, a one lasr resort came into Warabi's mind. She brings her blade towards her arm as she puts a cut on it, with the pain providing forcing her to feel less high. I mean, less sleep' which caught Misogi off-guard.

Warabi:"You think it's stupid? So what! I'll be the one winning this duel, and theres nothing chaning that!" She announced as she goes into her Right Armor Breaking Stance.

Y/n's pov:

Y/n:"Gah!" I grunted as I Tamaba cuts my back.

This time, she used a technique in Tsutsumi Hosen Style as I turn around and face her again just to see her still happy go lucky expression.

Y/n:'Tsutsumi Hosen Styel. Another technique from another school.' I said in my head recognizing the technique.

But as I remember a certain thing she said to me at near the start of the fight, I finally figure out on what style she was actually using.

Y/n:"Keishi..." I said to her. 'Keishi, a style that takes one technique from 10 other styles, bringing her techniques to 10 in total.' I said in my head.

Tamaba:"Nehehe~ Ding, ding, ding! Thaaat's cooorect~" She gleefully replied. "Okay then, I'll give a special treat. Satori's secret little game~" She said as she takes a stance. "Say, Y/n-chan. Do you know how to play word chain?" She suddenly asked me.

Y/n:"Word...chain?" I asked what that is.

Tamaba:"Yes, for example..." She said as she approaches me.

As she get's near me, she goes in for a stab as I caught it, but I suddenly see that her left hand was holding onto her right wrist.

This grip allowed her to take back her blade away from my grip as she sends a downard slash to me, which I dodged. She then went for a stab to my center as I try to grab it, but she suddenly reels it back in.

She then sends a downwards slash to me as I blocked it with my knuckledusters and push it away, making her back off and giving me space.

Tamaba:"Like I did just now. There are different techniqued from different schools that have the same words in them!" She said reffering to the word Toshi in the name of the techniques she just used. "There are lots too! I'll be sure to shoe you them!" She said to me as sweat drops from my head.

And so after that, she started thowing barrages of slashes towards me as I all barely dodge them.

Y/n:"Damn...What a monster." I described her skills in swordsmanship.

However, the word monster, seemingly made her flinch a hit as he strikes suddenly got more sloppy, allowing me to dodge properly.

I then see that she had her guard open brielf as I grab her blade and tried to throw a punch, but she goes back to the same state she was in and nearly stabs me in the face again, making me jump back towards the broken window, leading towards the indoor baths.

Y/n:'She's gotten sloppy. Looks like the word monster managed to make her tense up. Now, what can I do to keep her in that state?' I asked myself.

And so, I started looking around for anything to use to distract. Until...I saw Tamaba-san herself....completely naked...again. This gave me an idea as I start to slowly walk back into the indoor baths.

Tamaba:"Giving up?" She asked me as she follows me inside.

Hearing this, I let out small grin of confidence as if this works, I have a good chance of beating her.

Y/n:'Damn you, Fudou. Your brash nature is rubbing off on me. I really need to thank you after this.' I said in my head.

And so, in order to fully distract her all seeing eye while fighting. I took off all of my clothes, making me butt naked as she reacted with a shocked expression. This last ditched effor is what Fudou would've though of if he was the one fighting.

Tamaba:"Ehhh! Are you serious?~" She asked me. "U-uhh...what does this supposed to mean?" She said in confusion.

Hearint this, I responded with a shrug indicating that I myself don't even know as I then gesture my index fingers for her to come at me.

(Rory Mercury=Y/n)

Y/n:"...Come at me...monster." I taunted her.

Hearing me taught her. A shadow formed around her eyes as her killing intent can be felt throughout the room.

Tamaba:"I'm going to kill you, you know." She said menacingly.

And so, she dashes towards me and throws a downward vertical slash as I block it with knuckledusters.

She then throws multiple slashes at me as she tries to kill me, but thanks to my taunting and my bare naked body, her moves were all sloppy as I dodge and block every attack she throws.

After a while, she finally decided to throw a heavy downward vertical slash as I took this oppurtunity and grabbed it, which shocked her.

Y/n:'Your feelings, your intent to kill me, their all leaking out. You really are still human.' I said in my head.

As she held on my sword, she started sneaking glances at my t-rex as she tries her hardest to look away and avert her attention, but this allowed me to render her all seeing eye.

Y/n:"You are still human..." I said to her as she forms a shocked expression.

And so, as a way to knock her to the ground, I take away her sword as she loses balance, I then use this oppurtunity and grabbed her arm as I sweep her leg from behind, making her fall down to the ground.

And so, with that move, I won as she was now on the floor near the bathtub.

Y/n:"I win..." I stated to her.

Tamaba:"Are you sure?" She asked me.

She then showed the sash around her neck thay had the original picture of her and Fudou in bed as she holds onto it in the air, above the bathtub, making it a hostage.

Tamaba:"See? If I let go, the original data goes bye-bye." She threatened me.

Y/n:*Sigh* I guess I lose either way, huh?" I asked her

Tamaba: Yup-yup! So, what are you goona do now?" She asked me.

Hearing this, I let out a sight as I approach her and take off one of my knuckleduster, which made her confused. As I get infront of her, I slap her across the face so hard, that she flew into the bathtub, along with the data, destroying it.

Tamaba:"Eehh!? Are you stupid!?" She asked as she resurfaced.

This time, I stay quiet as I began picking up all of my clothes, turning mt back against.

Tamaba:"Why did you do that? Is it because your brother is gonna get expelled? Or is it because I ruined both of your future plans?" She asked as I pick up my clothes.

Y/n:"...To be honest, it wouldn't really matter if Fudou were to be expelled. I'd follow behind him to another school any day." I said to her. "But, I couldn't exactly let you get away with making my friends cry, would I?" I answered reffering to both Kikakujo and Onigawara.

Hearing my reply, Tamab had a shocked expression as she suddenly layed back down to the water, making a huge splash.

Tamaba:"Hahaha~That was a great reply! Humans sure are interesting!" She said playfully.

Y/n:"Look who's talking as if she's not human. You got mad at the end, didn't you? It just proves your more human than me." I said as I offer my hand to her.

Tamaba:"Heeeh?...I really hate you, Y/n-chan." She said as she shyly hides her face underwater.

Seeing this, I mearly laughed a little at the so-called humanoid monster was this shy if you see her human side. When, all of a sudden, she pulls me inas my vision started to blur.

Y/n:'My body...not yet...' I said in my head as my vision turns dark.

As I slowly open my eyes, my vision finally got better as I see Tamaba looking at me in my bed.

Tamaba:"Y/n-chan, did you sleep well?" She asked as Kyo-bo licked my face.

Y/n:"Kyo-bo..." I said her name as I pat her head.

All of a sudden, Kyo-bo showed me both of her paws as she shows that it was both my Notepad and pencil as I take it.

Y/n: I asked Tamaba.

Tamaba:"Your in the girls dorm's infirmary." She answered as I suddenly feel cold.

I then lool under my blanket sheets as I see thay I was still naked.

Y/n:'No wonder I'm cold.' I said in my head.

Tamaba:"Your clothes are over in that basket over there." She said pointing to a baskter. "The dorm mother said that when you wake up you should leave with youe brothee withour making a scene." She informed me.

Y/n: I asked her.

Tamaba:"She's sleeping on the bed next to us, but she's all okay!" She answered.

All of a sudden, the door to the infirmary opens as the covers were next as I see Fudou came in, running.

Y/n:"Fudou!? I-I..." I stuttered as I try to find a way to explained.

This time, I was expecting him to be mad at me, but instead he goes to me and hugged me tightly.

Fudou:"...Thank god...your alright...thank god." He repeated as he held onto me tightly.

And so, in response I hug him back as after a while he finally let's go and looks at me.

Fudou:"Y/n...that was really reckless of you. Don't go on your own next time!" He said to me.

Y/n: I said to him.

Fudou:"Even so, you still need to be more careful, do you know what would have happened if you were actually gone...I would've..." He said to me.

Y/n: I said to him as he smile.

Fudou:"Yeah...I remember."

And so, with that Fudou finally stopped crying as he held out his fist for me.

Fudou:"Now that you've saved me from expulsion. I'm going to repay you for this." He said to me.

Y/n:"...Yeah!" I answered as we fist bump.
