Kaito sat down his heavy breaths told that he was exhausted. He raised his head up and the rain gave a cold sensation.
Subaru was still on the ground he smiled as he recollected his strength and he stood up. Everyone was astonished that Subaru woke up.
Subaru said while looking at the students "Did you learn something kids? Weapon was not the fact to use, it was the strategy. Kaito used his energy to suppress my abilities during my full power, it's also a strategy. He observed the matches and knew what the point was. This… this is something you should learn."
Kaito looks at him and bows his down out of respect. The students also bowed down out of respect.
Kaito started to shake. He had no control over his legs and he fell down. Subaru came towards Kaito and held him on his back and took him towards Master Ryuzaki.
Subaru placed Kaito quietly and Master came towards Kaito. Students were optimistic about his arrival. Master sat down and placed his hand on Kaito.
Kaito's body was heating. Noru came towards Master and knew what to do. He took Kaito inside the room and placed him on the soft comfy bed. The room was filled with intense pressure as all strong admirers came inside the room.
Yosaku entered the room and he kept his hand on Noru's shoulder and said "Tell me… Tell me what you know about him. His fight wasn't ordinary. He had feelings poured down in this fight. He wasn't a person who fought Subaru Sensei for just ranks. He poured his deep energy and some pain in it. Was it… The past which made him terrified. Sensei I need answers."
Yosaku coughs and falls down on his knees. He bows down while coughing harshly. Everyone in the room saw his back dark red and knew he was injured the whole time.
Noru held his hand and said "You... you need treatment you better get healed. You are-"
Yosaku coughs even more and says "I'm okay… I won't leave until… until…" Yosaku faints from the injury he faced.
Everyone in the room started to prepare medicines and everyone left the room to let both of them heal. Ryu left the room and started walking in the rain.
He started to walk down towards the tree. He sat down and started to unpack his pouch. He had a soup and some water.
Ryu started eating it silently he was alone under the shed of a tree until a tall figure arrives with bandages on his stomach and back.
It was Subaru Ishida. He came towards Ryu and sat down beside him. Subaru said silently while taking a breath of relief. "So, you are Ryu Tsumura. A Kusarigama and Beast Energy user. You and I am so alike son…"
Ryu offers him some soup and says "I'm not your son Sensei and what do you want?" Subaru replies and raises a scroll in front of Ryu "Do you know why I have both Beast Energy and Shadow Energy. It's because of one factor balance. I had both these energies and I suppressed their abilities to maximize my power. Meanwhile you just use your energy without suppressing or trying to maximize damage or power. Beast energy was always used for damage and power but you use for reducing your work or tricks. This reduces your potential effort for your Beast Energy."
Ryu replies "So what everyone has their own skills and a potential. It depends upon the user what they want. Just have your scroll I don't want it."
Subaru smiles and says "So you are angry and kind… You are worried about your friend. Well he is not that injured he would be good thanks to the special rules which you, Kaito, Yosaku, Noru and that girl got."
Ryu looks at Subaru and says "Y…you knew about rule?"
Subaru smiled and said "You dumb idiot, did you thought this rule was just for you. Master wanted to fill that top one spot for someone so he made this rule for few specific students. First he gave the right to attack the opponent with weapons and can injure them. Second the opponent means us could use only five percent of our power not much but I broke the rule and yea I used eight percent of my power to defeat your brother."
Ryu smiles and says "What do you mean brother? I'm his friend."
Subaru says "I know stop bluffing your face says the whole story. You have a good brother do you know he was asking for you when I carried him on my back when he was injured. He genuinely cares about you well he might not show you how deep he cares about you."
Ryu smiles and looks at the scroll Subaru gave and said "Can you train me Sensei… I need to be as strong as him. I would be Kaito's sword until end."
Subaru smiles and places and on Ryu's heads and nods his head.
*SCENE SHIFTS*
Noru was on top a tree looking down the tree. He was mountains top tree. He saw the whole scenario down the tree.
He saw mist and cloudy environment. He heard rain drops and it was pleasant for his ears. He gently removed his weight and started falling down the mountain.
The rain drops felt his skin. He opened his eyes during the fall and saw he was getting closer to the flowing river. He splashed down the river and he opened his eyes and saw fishes moving towards him.
Noru stayed silent and observed the fishes started getting closer. He started feeling more peace.
After few minutes he came out the water and sat down beside the river. He started to feel relaxed.
Noru started to think about Kaito. Kaito's memories fight and past started to flash in front of his face. Noru sat down thinking he can do something. Noru climbed up a tree and sat down and tried to relax.
