Itsunos Tale of Love and Hate Showdown Part 2*This story contains spoilers from the main game, so we recommend you finish TCY Season 4 Part 10 before reading.Having broken up into team ninja seeking club and team real ninja seeking club, everyone heads to the starting point. Gather around, everyone.Myu-senpai calls us over to gather around her. Im just going to say this right out front, but we will lose this competition. Huh?!Everyone is taken aback in surprise at Myu-senpais unexpected words. Does that mean...? Thats right. Ive seen the future.Myu-senpais prediction ability... She never knows when she will get her visions, but she is amazingly accurate with them. Man, really...? Cant we do anything?! ...There might be a way. Huh? To tell you the truth, my vision was very vivid this time, so I was able to see a lot of the details. That means that if we change the strategy we were going to go with, we might have a chance to also change the future where we lose. Change the future...? Thats so amazing! Did you by any chance see how they would move and react? Hehe. I actually did this time! All right! But only to the extent that were able to make the first move. After that depends on how hard all of you work. best possible option is to finish them off when we surprise them. If we fail to do that, next best option is to keep attacking before they have a chance to regroup. Ill now tell everyone how to move and who they should attack.According to Myu-senpais prediction ability, three people are moving on their own. The remaining people have split into two groups. We split into three groups, with Myu-senpai, Cy-senpai, and Shiratsuru-senpai being the leaders of each group. Okay! Raita, Hibare, Raku, go along with Cy! Got you! Mina, Hina, and Megu will go along with me. Take caution to stay together and move slowly. Especially you, Hina. I already know without you telling me, Miss Clumsy. Whos clumsy?!Im pretty sure Cy-senpais group will be okay, but what about Shiratsuru-senpais? Myu-senpai calls out to me as I am worrying to myself. Lets go, Itsuno. Right.After separating from the other groups and walking a while, Myu-senpai suddenly stops. From here on out, we will moving separately. Moving separately? Yes. opponents are also moving individually. Wouldnt it be more efficient if we launched a surprise attack on each separate individual? True, but if we dont move now, we wont have another opportunity to catch a certain individual alone. Ah, I get it. You must be talking about Fenrir. Correct. Takato will handle Lily-senpai while I handle Ricka-senpai.I had heard before that Ricka-senpai is Myu-senpais master. A master-pupil confrontation, huh? I hadnt thought Myu-senpai to be the type to go for that. Itsuno and Waka-senpai, please handle Kazuki-senpai. ...?! HUH?! No way! Who do you think youre asking?! Im even more of a non-fighter than Nanao and the others on their team! True, it is a bit troublesome that you cant fight, but dont worry. Itsuno will back you up. She can back me up until the cows come home. Still, nothings going to happen. Try your best, please. Youll run into Kazuki-senpai if you head that way. Takato, you come with me. Okay.Myu-senpai and Takato leave the area.Left behind, Waka-senpai sighs heavily and slumps her shoulders. Awww man... How did things end up like this...? Itsuno, if anything happens, be sure to protect me, okay? S-Sure...Despite not liking it, Waka-senpai comes with me as I head in the direction Myu-senpai told me to. ...I somehow got separated with Waka-senpai as I was walking through the forest. Where did she go...?I look around, but I cant sense her at all. Ah, now that I think about it, she always said she didnt have any stamina, didnt she? I might have left her behind.I bet shes feeling pretty helpless all alone. I decide to turn around and find her.I walk several minutes and finally find her....But I also find Kazuki Araya, as well. Eek! Help me...! Hey, come on now. You make it sound like Im some bad guy.Is he attacking Waka-senpai?Wait, no. She is just probably scared because he appeared suddenly.Still, this is a good chance.He has yet to notice me.If I charge and cut him in the back while Waka-senpai has him distracted... ...Somethings weird... I cant bring myself to draw my sword. And this is the perfect chance, too...Suddenly, Hijiri-senpai appears in front of Waka-senpai, picks her up and starts walking towards me.Yet she simply smiles at me as she passes by and goes somewhere. Are you sure you dont want to launch a surprise attack on me?Kazuki Araya turns around and calls out to me.I see... He noticed me all along. I must have realized that somewhere deep down, and thats why I didnt attack.Thats got to be it... Theres no other reason I wouldnt attack him. How could I launch a surprise attack if you already noticed me? Fair enough. So, what will it be? Do you want to fight me?Isnt it obvious?! Kazuki Araya... Ill kill you!I draw my sword and charge at him.I know I have no chance of beating me head-on, but Ill never win if I dont at least attack. Ill try my luck seeing if I can overpower him with a barrage of attacks!I bring my sword down on him. Haaa!He easily absorbs my full power with his sword. The impact is so much that I feel my arm sting as I attack. Its obvious I am not half the swordsman he is. Hmmm, your attack has a bit more weight to it now. Still, youre putting power into your strike the wrong way.He easily pushes my sword back and breaks my formation. Even a complete beginner knows that a follow-up attack comes now. And also that dodging it is almost impossible.But, I cant afford to be beaten so easily!Using my collapsing formation to my advantage, I swing my right foot up towards his chin. Whoa?!He barely manages to dodge it. Still, this is just me getting away, so while he is busy bending backwards, Ill put some distance between us and regroup No, if I have time to do that, I have time to continue attacking! Flame jutsu: Hellfire!I release a homing flame. I know he is not weak enough to be finished off by that, but at least it will give me time to regroup.Yet, he shows no signs of dodging, and instead casts a finger spell. Burning Hell!The flame I let out is instantly dissipated. Impossible...!Burning Hell is a ninjutsu that I personally made by blowing up the flame from a flame jutsu! How can he use it?! You look surprised. When you become skilled enough as a ninja, you can start interfering with other peoples ninjutsu. Ugh...!Hes way too strong...! Theres no way I can compete against him, let alone kill him... No...Ill do it! Even if I cant compete against him now, some day...!One day...Ill definitely become stronger than him! Graaaaah!I wildly swing my sword around aiming for his neck. Yet, all it ends up cutting is the air due to me tripping and falling on the ground.I look up to see the tip of a sword directly in front of me. I can feel all the energy drain from my body.I stood no chance... Its a complete loss for me.Sensing that I lost the will to fight, Kazuki Araya puts his sword back into his sheath and grins at me, almost as if he were bragging about his win. I win today, as well.Obviously. You dont even have to say it. What a despicable man.But...*Sigh* Surprisingly, I dont feel bad. Huh? What did you say? ...Nothing.Father, Mother, Im sorry.It looks like my revenge against this man is still quite far away. I cant believe this! And to make things worse, I lost to Miss Hopeless and Co.! To think you can still say that even after you lost... Its amazing in a way.Shiratsurus group lost to Nanao-senpai, Hotaru-senpai, Iroha-senpai, and Yamabuki-senpai. And they lost without defeating a single member of the other team. I guess Miss Hopeless and Co. werent so weak, after all.Cy-senpais team managed to defeat Yozuki-senpai and Akari-senpai, but lost to Nanao-senpais team when they came for backup.Oh, and Takato lost as well, it seems. Spouting his usual nonsense, this time about awakening his inner darkness next time or something, he looks sad about his loss.And for Myu-senpais team... Tie this time, but wont lose next time. Same here. I will continue my training."It appears that the match ended in a tie due to both of them being knocked out by their opponents attack.In the end, the ninja seeking club got completely trampled......and the real ninja seeking club was able to keep the real in their name. No! I refuse to accept this! That was just practice! Lets do it again! H-Hina...everyone is exhausted... Thats right, Mina. Plus, we have to honor promise. But, Myu-senpai...Still not convinced, Hina continues throwing her fit when Akari-senpai comes up with an idea. How about you and the others just join the real ninja seeking club for yourselves, Hina? Huh? If you guys join the real ninja seeking club, then you can be part of both the ninja seeking club and the real ninja seeking club at the same time! That should solve things, right? ...W-Would it?Hina doesnt seem to understand. I kind of get what Akari-senpai is saying, but not really. But Akari, they cant be part of two teams. Oh, I see...Akari-senpais idea is swiftly struck down by Enju-senpai. However, Yamabuki-senpai is quick to speak up. Then how about we just merge the ninja seeking club and the real ninja seeking club? If theres no rule to say we cant do it, how about we just disband the ninja seeking club and have everyone join the new-and-improved real ninja seeking club? Hey, thats a nice idea! Can we do that, Enju? Well, I dont think theres a rule that says you cant... Yay! Hina, this means you guys are a part of the real ninja seeking club now! We can be a part of the real ninja seeking club...?Hina has a lot of pride, so I bet she will feel humiliated at the pity and reject the idea of senpai. What a great idea!I guess not... Yeah! Were a part of the real ninja seeking club with senpai now! So it seems, but wont we just be a burden on them? You dont have to worry about that. You guys have more than enough talent. Well help you if something ever comes up. True. You can also split missions up based on their difficulty, so if Myu and their others are okay with it, I will go ahead and process the merge. Please do. I really think everyone will grow immensely if they can complete missions with senpai.And so was the birth of a brand-new real ninja seeking club.With the competition over, everyone talks about going out to celebrate.I decline, saying I already have plans, and begin to walk home. Why are you here?For some reason, Myu-senpai is tagging along. I wanted to talk to you. Talk to me? Yes. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on todays competition. Theres nothing to say really. I stood no chance. I see. Even so, you still wont give up on revenge? Yes. But... But? I think...its been put on hold. ...Myu-senpai stares at me mysteriously. What is it? Itsuno... Dont tell me...Myu-senpai starts to say something, but stops midsentence. Never mind. Its nothing.She flashes me a smile, but I can tell she looks troubled.I wonder what she was trying to ask me...?It would be a long time before I finally figured out the answer to my question.To be continued: #
