No Pov:
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
What seem to be the sound of two metal objects hitting each other can be heard throughout the campus of Aichi Symbiosis Academy, but it wasn't.
Infact, it was the sound of Metal Knuckles colliding with Kirukiru Amou's hard-skinned fists that was as hard as steel, proving that Amou's skin was currently at tough as metal.
In the courtyard of the academy, two students can be seen duking it out in the middle near the fountain, Amou and Y/n.
Y/n's pov:
Me and Amou were currently in a never ending fist fight with flurry of punches being thrown at each other in a stalemate.
As we fought, I managed to land a low punch on Amou's stomach as she grunts and spits out spit from the strike, but she stabs my arm with her spearhand-Auto Counter as it bleeds.
Y/n:"Ngh! Your annoying, you know that?" I said to her.
Amou:"I love you too." She responded.
With that, she takes her spearhand out of my hand as she throws a kick towards my face as I sway back and dodged it in the last second.
(Yujiro=Amou, Ali Jr.=Y/n)
This attack done in a small time frame made me stumble back as Amou takes this opportunity to throw a jab to my face, but I managed to swerve right and counter with a punch to her right side.
(Ohma=Y/n, Raian=Amou)
This clearly affected her as she held onto her waist's right side and stumbled back as she spits out blood.
Amou:"Ngh! As strong as ever, Y/n! I love it!" She shouted obsessively.
Y/n:'Damnnit! She's enjoying this!' I thought angrily.
If she was infact enjoying this, she's gonna take more punishment than she normally does and with me timing my full power punches, I'm gonna tire out much quicker.
But if I damage her body enough, the physical exhaustion should override her mental endurance, to put it simply, I need to tire out her physical body to the point of exhaustion.
And so, with that plan in mind, I take off my hoodie and reveal my school uniform under it as Amou was confused.
Amou's pov:
As me and Y/n were locking eyes at each other, he suddenly took off his hoodie as it revealed his school uniform under it as well as his almost transparent school polo shirt that barely made his upper body visible thanks to the sweat.
Amou:'That body...that boy...that man...his mine! All mine! I'll take him, even by force! I'll have him!' I vowed in my head.
Seeing this, made me even more infatuated of him. His body, his shyness, his strength all of it! I must have it! I need it!
Y/n's pov:
With my jacket now off, I see Amou was smiling more than usual with a bit of blush, until I realized she was looking at me body.
Using this small opportunity, I throw my hoodie towards Amou as it blocks her full view of my figure, giving me the window to get behind her in an instant.

Using one of Fudou's techniques of misdirection, I managed to get behind he as if I was invisible as I was about to throw a punch, but she manages to deliver an elbow to my stomach.
Y/n:"Gah!" I grunted as I fall to my knees in pain.
The combination of her hard skin and the one-point focus target of the elbow made me hold onto my stomach in pain and fall to my knees.
Amou:"Sorry, Y/n. That won't work on me." She said as she grabs onto my uniform's blue blazer.
But to her surprised, I pushed my blazer upwards to her face as it blocks her views again as I grab her hand and pull her towards me and paid her back with my very own elbow, increasing the damage by pulling her towards me.
Amou:"Ngh!" She grunted as well as she backs off.
Now, with both of us in seemingly on par with each other, we were both a bit exhausted as we breathed a bit more heavily than before as I had lost my hoodie and blazer in the fight and me baking next to Inaba.
As I land next to Inaba, her Katana's handle suddenly touched my back.
Y/n:"Are you serious? You want to cut me down now?" I asked her.
Inaba:"...No, not in the slightest. I'm disappointed that you misunderstood me." She replied.
Y/n:"Huh? Then what is it?" I asked her.
Inaba:"I just wanted make one thing clear...your all talk." She answered making me confused. "Although you show your resolve that you want to beat her, there is clearly something inside you that keeps you from going all out. Your attack patterns, although aims to injure the empress, I haven't seen you attack in desperate measure such as striker her chest." She pointed.
Y/n:"Just what are you on about?" I asked her.
Inaba:"What I'm saying is, your hiding your true emotions towards the empress. Leading you to not go all out, despite showing me that you are capable of something more." She answered.
Y/n:"Huh!? What are you saying!?" I yelled.
Inaba:"Accept the feelings you've been holding up towards the empress." She suggested.
Y/n:"I told you, I don't ha-"
Inaba:"Yes you do." She cut me off. "It was quite obvious in the fight. You avoid hitting her in the extremely vital points in the fight such as the neck, breast, and other parts despite what you said that your determined to do anything to protect your friends." She pointed out.
This time, I stayed quiet as I listen on her analysis.
Inaba:"If you don't accept the feelings you have for the empress then you won't be able to fight seriously." She added.
Hearing this made me realize it....I'm unconsciously holding my self back without even knowing it. But what finally made me realize my true feelings towards Amou.
Although I truly hate her, but I had another feeling, it wasn't despise, hate, disgust, it was sympathy that was holding me back.

I was feeling sorry for Amou. Sorry that she would chase after someone like me. Wanting to be with someone who isn't as outgoing as Fudou.
But this time, I need to go all out, for real. If I don't ever person I've made a connection here in this school will all be hurt or killed. Amou isn't above killing people.
With that in mind, I set aside set aside my sympathy for now as I take another new stance compared to before, confusing Amou.
Y/n:"Amou....get ready, I'm gonna go all out, now." I said to her.
Amou:"...So will I." She responded.
And so, rain started pouring down as the sound engulfed the courtyard. As soon as the first droplet hit the ground, I dash towards Amou in blinding speeds.
Amou, who was expecting this, manages to reacts and slash her metal fingertips that formed a cross on my chest as I stumble a bit, but continued.
This took her by surprise as I get infront of her and put my right hand's palm on her chest.
Amou:"Wha-!?"
Y/n:"Sorry." I apologized to her beforehand.
After that, I inhaled and exhaled as the air pressure all formed from my hand and pushed Amou back....It was Fudou's magic bullet.
With that, Amou was sent flying to some shrubs as she spits out blood and flies pass NoNo and Choka, landing on the shrubs.
Everyone were all surprised. The seemingly indestructible Amou, was brought down to her back as if she had been beaten. Of Course, it was short lived as she stood up once again, but this time something was different.
This time...I was smiling.
(Song Play)
(Skip to 0:42 if you want)
Y/n:"That's right, don't fall on me yet. I'm just getting started." I said with a smile. "This time, I'm not the shy fighter this time, so come at me with all you got!" I excitedly shouted as I dash towards her.
I then threw a punch towards her face as she stumbles, but she repays me back with her own punch to my face, which makes me stumble back with a huge smile.
Y/n:"Not bad! That's more like it!" I excitedly yelled.
And so, me and Amou began exchanging hits. Blow after blow, hit after hit, Punch after punch and etc. We were both fighting to our hearts contents as if we were dancing partners on a stage with a huge smile on our faces.
In the scuffle, Amou throws a huge right hook to my face as I follow up with a huge right haymaker to her face and then after we that, we continue throwing attacks at each other like there was no tomorrow, while having a huge grin of happiness on our faces.
(Fudou=Y/n)
Amou's pov:
That's right, Y/n! Fight me with the biggest grin of happiness on your face! This what I wanted all along! To be the reason of your current happy face.
Amou:'More! More! Fight me more!' I thought excitedly.
As Y/n was about to throw a punch, I managed to dodge it and throw a three-punch combo on his face and ending it with an uppercut.
Everyone present who witnessed this was surprised as Y/n was about to go down from the powerful uppercut to his chin.
Rin&Mary:"Y/n!" They yelled his name.
And so, in desperation, he stood on his last foot and puts up a fist towards my stomach with a huge smile on his face.
With that, he uses magic bullet on my stomach again as I use Auto-counter and pierced his stomach as well as we both spit out blood.
The difference was he was currently falling as I was only struggling to stand up. So, I grabbed him by the hand and wrapped my other arm around his waist, similar to a waltz hold and as soon as I held his hand, I was back to the field filled with cherry blossoms when we first met.
Y/n:"Amou...yo-"
Amou:"Shush for now, sweet." I said as he followed. "You really should give it your all. You still have some left in the tank for your ultimate move, right?" I asked him.
Y/n:"Bu-"
Amou:"Give it your all. Your not allowed to be exhausted until you win, so I'll give a treat." I said as we stood on the ground of cherry blossoms.
I then pull his hand and put it up against my chest, with his palm now touching between my breast.
Amou:"Be sure to fire it like you did to me, last time. I want to feel that surge all over my body again." I requested.
Y/n:"Are yo-"
Amou:"Your not a fan of overwhelming victories. You see an opportunity to win and use that to have your ideals be heard, the ideals of a free life." I stated.
Y/n:"I'm not exactly a fan of submissions, you know?" He responded.
Amou:"Hai, you fight not to win, but to show where you stand. And for the first time, I'm feeling it. Because the victor has already been decided." I said to him.
Y/n:"...Amou..." He said my name.
Amou:"Y/n Fudou. You are undoubtedly, the best fighter I have ever faced, but I will not allow you to finish me with such a half-hearted attitude. So, finish it." I said to him as I began to think of everything.
Our fight today, our previous fight, our bickering and todays events...
Amou:"This is the end, Y/n Nomura. Be mine!" I suggested.
After I said those, a happy grin appeared on his face.
Y/n:"...Nah, I wont. You can count on that." He responded.
With that answer. I was satisfied. I was able to fight against him on equal terms and be the reason he actually smiled and enjoyed a fight....I'm happy.
*BANG!*

Witness the dawn of an era. 🧙🧙🧙 This is a story I'd written a few years back, and I figured it's a waste to just let it sit around. Most of it is already written, but I'm going through the chapters and editing the shit out of them. This story is NOT a Lit-RPG, so no blue screens or anything of the sort. It is just fast-paced fiction with slight cultivation elements. Updates are bi-daily (so every 2 days), and chapters are 1500-3000 words. As always, feedback is more than welcome. Why are you still reading the synopsis? You have already decided. Go ahead, give this story a shot. It's worth it.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
