#17. The Mystery Of Jiyu Nokemono: Part II, "Don't Hold Back"

In the training arena is Jiyu punching and kicking while Sensei Moriyama is casually blocking them with one hand.
 Sensei Moriyama is a tall and towering over Jiyu.
Jiyu flips back a few feet,takes a step to charge Sensei. When suddenly Sensei Moriyama holds up his hand and speaks,
"If you are not going to take this seriously, how will we know your true limitations?"
Jiyu looking at his hands "but Sensei..."
Sosuke, "you do not need to worry about hurting me. I assure you I am far beyond you,little Jiyu."
Sensei waves his hand on to proceed.
Jiyu closes his hands into fists, "okay then, here I come Sensei!"{i wonder if i give it my all...}
Sensei, {i see that determination in your posture}
Suddenly Jiyu is right in his face with a roundhouse to which Sensei blocks with ease.
Sensei {he closed the gap with mabakata, the range is good}
Jiyu grabs Sensei's other hand to swings around for another kick.
Sensei {his timing is good,using speed and agility to counter my height advantage}
He blocks that kick as well, grabbing him and tossing him to the ground. Jiyu recovers and goes for a sweep.
Sensei, {hmmm...} he flips forward, just as he does Jiyu looks up but suddenly..
Sensei Moriyama is surprised that he is now above him. 
Sensei {mabakata jump?}
Jiyu, "Sensei!"
Sensei Moriyama, "not yet"
He kicks Jiyu sending him in the air and landing a few feet but rolling even further away.
Jiyu on the ground {how did he react so fast?}
As he gets up Sosuke Moriyama is right there kicking him again then grabs him and tosses him to the ground.
Sensei Moriyama, "I should mention that while you must give it your all against me, I am not even usung Karatairu."
Jiyu holding his ribs, "what?"
Sensei, "You have no chance of beating me, so why wasite zai?"
Jiyu getting up slowly,"Sensei, you ..are you saying this to mske me mad?"
Sensei Moriyama,"Your emotionalstate is your own, I am only being honest with you. I will always be honest with you."
Jiyu, "I am going to defeat you, maybe not today but i will be strong enough to beat you...."
He starts darting across the field towards him,until he jumps in the air,"..I promise!"
 and comes down hard , "Karada Quake!"
The ground cracks where he lands and moves towards Sensei Moriyama, {Karada Quake, was that...?}
scene changes to the School Board meeting.
Dean, "Sensei Moriyama, I need you to verify the reports I've gotten. He attempts to mimic Saino, I've heard."
Back to the arena, the crack reaches the feet of Sensei Moriyama but does not expand.
{When he struck the ground he used Karatairu, his zai is overflowing beyond the underuniform.}
Jiyu starts kicking up dirt and rocks,throwing at Sensei Moriyama.
{what is he doing, he doesn't think throwing this tantrum will be effective} he dodges the debris.
Suddenly behind Sensei Moriyama is Jiyu, {clever.}
He grabs Jiyu slams him down holding his arm in a bar. 
Sensei, "you think on your feet pretty well, I'll give you that. Are you done now?"
Jiyu starts grinning,"Sensei...don't hold back!"
suddenly straighten his locked arm grabs Sensei and tosses him.
Sensei Moriyama, {stronger than i expected} He straightens up and lands on is feet.
"you are strong Jiyu,I take it from all the training through the years. Perhaps on your travels from Whit Oak village..."
Jiyu is standing looking at him with determination, but holding his arm.
Sensei Moriyama, "who trained you? You couldnt have been alone for those what 4 years on the road?"
scene change,school board
Sensei Hideo, "I'm concerned with all that zai coming from him can he access it? I mean even with the restraints that all the students have."
Sensei Shinjiro, "well If he can do Saino at this stage then it’ll be a ..."
Back to the session.
Jiyu puts his hands together
Sensei  Shinjiro, "game changer"
Sensei Moriyama's eyes are surprised
Jiyu is seen breathing hard,”Jeongsin Bongsa:”
Sensei Moriyama,{what...} 
Jiyu," Orange Class!"
joined by Shitoku,Ushiku,Osata, Sanjo, and Takaharu. All standing looking at Sensei.
Sensei Moriyama, {how did he manage this!?}"from first glance it looks like you somehow brought your classmates here. But I know that is impossible."
Jiyu, "Orange class take down Sensei!"
Takaharu begins running towards Sensei, "stay here Ushiku, I'll land the killing blow!"
Ushiku running after, "no way not if I get there first. Shitoku get off your ass and fight!"
Sensei Moriyama,{are they illusions?}
Shitoku standing up, "this is a hassle, but whatever"
Shitoku moves with ease and speed then suddenly...
Sensei receives a kick from Shitoku, {mabakata?!}
Ushiku comes from above after jumping from Takaharu's shoulders baring down with a fist, "don't under estimate us!"
barely dodges and lands on the ground, then rolls trying to avoid Osata and Sanjo.
Cut to  Board meeting.
Dean, "See if he can do Saino even with the scripts placed on him, we must assess the level of it or them. The most important question we need answered is..."
scene changed back to the session.
"...can you casually defeat him?"
We see Sensei Moriyama with eyes closed.
{It seems his physical condition has no influence on these creations}
we see all the students of Orange class between Sensei and Jiyu, ready to strike again. Jiyu is breathing heavy and barely standing.
Dean, "because if you have to get serious then we all have a problem."
Jiyu, "i'm going to beat you.."
Sensei Moriyama opening his eyes,"...I don't believe that will be today"
Sensei Moriyama is seen taking a step then he is directly standing over Jiyu. All the students fall behind him.
Moriyama, "knocking you out seems to do the same to your...classmates"
Jiyu is knocked out leaned over Moriyama's arm.
scene changes to a hallway with Sensei Yugana and Moriyama.
Sensei Yugana, "if you push him he will do his best to defeat you. I know you are assigned to assess him..."
Sensei Moriyama, "are you worried he can actually defeat me Taisa? If he gives it his all i can truly..."
Sensei Yugana, "I need you to go a step further..."
Sensei Moriyama looking down at Jiyu at that moment.
scene change to the Hallway
Sensei Yugana voice, "Due to hus determination he will do anything within is reach to win. You need to stop him before he gets carrie away or..."
Scene changes to the arena Jiyu is on the ground with ripped cloths.
Sensei Yugana is walking away, "...he will definitely die"

#34. A Lot To Learn (two issue split?)

It's just about morning, the sun isn't quite up yet.
This is the living quarters of the first year gakusei, a four level dormitory.
They are referred to as Bartros Hall students among the staff and student body. Each hall has a name that the students of that year go by.
The 4th floor is home to Orange Class, with it's own facilities and lounging area. There are students walking the hall meeting up to go to class.
Ushiku slamming his fist in his hand, "Sensei Karada is my rival, one day I'm taking him down!"
Takaharu walking up beside him, "it's been 6 weeks and we still can't win against him."
Shitoku walking past both of them with his arms crossed behind his head, "Oh great,how'd I end up walking to class with you loud mouths?"
Ushiku, "consider yourself lucky to be walking with the top students of Bartros Hall!"
he slaps him on the back as they walk.
Shitoku turns his head, "is that so?"
Takaharu, "yeah besides everyone else is gone,I think"
we see a room with someone in their bed under the covers
Shitoku, {I guess Jiyu already left...}
Suddenly alarm clock designed to look like a certain yellow spike haired boy, goes off, "Believe it!" 
Jiyu suddenly sits up but we can't see him above his shoulders,
"damn it!"
few minutes later he is running across campus, jumping over benches and past familiar teachers.
"Can't believe I'm this late, Sensei is gonna kill me!"
We see the class everyone is settling in but Jiyu's seat is empty.
Ushiku, "that idiot got lost, I bet you."
we now see Jiyu  running not too far from the hall, "Almost there..."
A loud sound occurs like a crash.
Jiyu stops looking towards a treeline,its the edge of the Dragon's Claw training wilderness.
Jiyu, "what was that?"
A crashing sound occurs again as he looks, he notices a building nearby. a sound is heard from a distance, "mrrooow"
Back at homeroom Sensei Yugana is looking out the window.
Sensei, "alright Orange Class,seems Jiyu will join us a little later."
He turns away from the window.
Elsewhere is a stone entrance,  inside we see Jiyu, the building is slightly shaking. 
Jiyu," I know I heard..."
"rrrwww"
Jiyu, "hey where are you, are you hurt?!"
 as he moves further inside and turns a corner the sound gets clearer, "meeeeoooowwww"
Suddenly he sees eyes in the dark, "there you are!"
A cat comes out of the shadows looks up then darts off.
"hey, not that way!"
Jiyu walks into a lit room with torches lining the wall. The room is the large.
Jiyu, {this room is  huge like Sensei Karada's arena} "there you are"
He sees the kitten a short distance away, he goes over and picks him up. The cat is looking at something, Jiyu notices a big figure across the arena sized room.
Jiyu, "Hey sorry to bother you, I think this little guy got lost in here."
He is tall wide with a tactical vest on over a long sleeve shirt, his pants are dark colored . In his right hand is a tall staff and on his left shoulder is a an over sized black bird.
The man turns around and faces Jiyu, his face is young but without emotion. 
The cat hisses at the man, Jiyu holds the cat.
Jiyu, "he must be scared of your pet bird."
Suddenly the staff flies past his head and is embedded into the wall causing several cracks.
Jiyu jumps to the side, "hey, watch it mister."
The man grins and holds his right hand out , just then the staff exits the wall and returns to him.
he taps the ground in front of him and causing a force to blow his jacket like wind.
Jiyu, "let's get out of here whiskers!"{this guy is crazy}
As he turns to leave another force throws him out of the room and against the wall.
Jiyu, "oof, damn"
as he is getting up he sees the man coming towards him spinning the  staffs in front of him. The ceiling is coming down and the bird flies off his shoulder and down the hallway.
Jiyu is running in the same direction that the bird went.
Jiyu, "oh man, at least I'm faster than...."
Just then the wall comes flying towards Jiyu knocking him through the opposite wall.
The man comes stepping through the first hole looking out after Jiyu.
A tree is broken and Jiyu is laying on the ground with the cat under his left arm on his chest. 
Jiyu, "you okay?"
voice coming towards him, "hey, we aren't done yet."
He sees the man coming towards him with the staff swinging and crashing through a tree.
Jiyu gets up and tries to put the cat down, "Get outta here whiskers..."
The cat has his claws in his clothes, then climbs over to the right shoulder. "Okay, have it your way."
Jiyu is getting in a stance waiting for the man, {this guy probably hits like Sensei Karada, maybe harder! I have to stay ahead of him, use my speed to dodge until I see an opening like Sensei Chosai taught us..."
Suddenly the man is right in front of him swinging down with the staff.
He barely gets out of the way.
He runs and jumps to the trees trying to escape the unnamed man, but he is right behind him.
until the man knocks him down to the forest floor creating a small crater.
Jiyu, "gakk!" the wind is knocked out of Jiyu.
The man comes to the spot that Jiyu landed but he is gone.
Jiyu shouts, "Hey you, you're not gonna stop me!"
Jiyu is standing there with Whiskers on his shoulder, staring at him.
he is slightly behind a tree,"I'm done running! I've got to go to class, seems that means I have to get passed you to do it." He jumps back into the woods.
Jiyu is waiting on a tree limb for the man to come into a clearing then ...
As the man comes in he jumps on a few limbs and dives towards him as.
The man swings at Jiyu, instead of dodging he blocks with his forearms[ a crack is heard]. The man notices that Jiyu has a broken tree limb on his forearms where the staff struck.
Jiyu Kicks Sai to loosen his grip on the staff. 
Jiuu manages to kick it out off his hand, the bird is seen coming in and grabbing it with its feet.
Sai," thats enough of that little one"
Sai hits Jiyu, knocking him down to the ground. The cat jumps as he lands hard.
The man lands in a few steps away. Jiyu struggles to get to his feet, obviously hurt. Picks up the kitten and balls his fist as whiskers gets on his shoulder.
The man looks around, seeing the damage to the forest that has been done.
He walks up to Jiyu and the cat, Jiyu barley standing, "well that was fun."
The man sits down.
Jiyu, "what...?"
Man, "Relax i'm done training for now."
Jiyu falls down to have a seat the cat jumps off his arm and rubs against him. 
Jiyu, "training...who are you mister!?"
Sai, "I'm Sai, when you showed up I thought I would train with you. I must say you did good!"
Jiyu, "i don't know about that, you tossed me all over the place. I think my arm is broken."
Sai, "oh, well that's better than most of my sparring partners. Far as the injuries, I can help with that."
He puts his hand on the injured arm of Jiyu, "Iyasu Bureka"
Jiyu, {my arm it's,okay now} "wait are you a medical Senshi?!"
 The man stands up and turns to walk a few feet from Jiyu, "no no, You'll learn that basic technique in your 4th year."
He takes his staff and gently stands it straight up then puts his hands together in a pattern. "Sentairu: Natural rejuvenation"
The forest beginnings repairing itself and also growing trees randomly. The forest looks like it was never damaged.
Jiyu is standing, "wow, you know some powerful stuff Sensei!"
Sai laughs, "you're pretty tough yourself. If we did this after you get stronger, you probably won't break any bones."
Jiyu starts walking away, "well I gotta get to class now Sensei, I'm sure everyone is in defense class now."
suddenly Sai is right in front of him, "hey,How about I walk you to class?"
Later we see Orange class sitting down exhausted with Sensei Karada standing talking to Sensei Yugana.
Ushiku, "Hey the idiot finally showed up,great timing brat!"
Osata, "Oh I thought you dropped out."
Jiyu, "no way" 
Shitoku, "you're in time for the last half of class."
Sensei Karada, "well look who it is Sensei Yugana. You were training with Jiyu Sai?"
Sai, "oh yeah, he's pretty tough too!"
Sensei Yugana, "Hello Sai, did you clean up after you were done?"
Sai, "yes of course Sensei. well i'm out of here , wanna train again Jiyu?"
Jiyu, "anytime Sai Sensei, I have to get stronger!"
 HE puts a thumb up
Sai as he is walking out{he isn't gonna stop with that Sensei stuff}
After he leaves Sensei Yugana looks at Jiyu, "how did you like training with my nephew?"
Jiyu, "nephew?!"
Sensei Yugana, "yes Sai Yugana,my nephew and apprentice. He is a member of the Golden Buntai."
Shitoku, "you gotta be the luckiest kid I know Jiyu. A first year meeting a member of the Golden Buntai."
Ushiku, "it was wasted on you, I should have trained with him."
Takaharu, "he probably felt sorry for the runt."
Sensei Karada, "alright everyone let's get back to it."
Jiyu walking with Shitoku, "what's a Golden Buntai?"
Osata right in front of them, "the Golden Buntai are supposed to be the strongest under the Shicho and his Buntai."
Jiyu, "Wow, are wea Bunatai?"
Osata, "stop talking to me."
Shitoku with his head down, "your hopeless"
Jiyu stops and they leave him behind,"wait,what?"

#13. It Had To Be Done

Lifeless bodies of the once hooded individuals are laying around with the bodies of the students as well. It looks like a fight took place with only one student barely standing
Sensei Yugana, "Sakura."
Sakura is on her knees near the bodies of a couple of her teammates, "You killed them..." She looks around at everyone  laying on the field, including Sensei Shinjiro and Sensei Hideo.
"...you killed everyone."
Sensei Yugana, "except you, the lone survivor. What is your next move,vengeance?"
Sakura slowly stands to her feet with her fists balled and her head slightly down. She begins to walk towards him, "the only thing that makes sense to me..."
She is standing in front of him after standing for a moment,she kneels.
"train me, i know you killed my classmates and...[she looks over to a certain body]..but I need to become strong. I need to be the best and if becoming an Outlaw is the path...then so be it."
Sensei Yugana, "is that so just like that?"
Sakura still kneeling, "I have my reasons. You're about to flee here, take me with you I must surpass a certain someone. Even if I have to..."
Sensei puts his hand on her chin making her look up, "become a monster?" 
Sakura, "yes."
now we see Sensei Yugana's eyes up close, "Kumo."
Kumo is battered but standing, "you killed our loved ones then all the students...even Sensei Hideo?! Luckily Sensei Shinjiro got away...Senshi will be here to take you out soon."
Sensei Yugana, "you think they will be here in time,they will not? So I ask you what now,Gakusei?"
Kumo takes off what is left of is uniform jacket, "what...now? You know what...you're.." [he balls a fist and points with the other hand] "..an asshole!"
Kumo, "you don't realize what you've really done."
Sensei with his arms folded, "is that so?"
Kumo walks over to a body and looks down,"I can't forgive you..."
We see Shinjiro close up with eyes closed.  Now Sensei Hideo and Sensei Yugana as well.
it is now a view of Shinjiro standing with his left hand in front of his chest, with fingers positioned.
Sensei Hideo, "wake up Shinjiro, almost done."
Sensei Shinjiro with eyes still closed, "you know i'm not sleep just focusing."
Sensei Hideo, "whatever."
Shinjiro smirks, " Upset you got killed off, again?"
She just folds her arms and says nothing.
Sensei with eyes closed, "interesting..."
Now Kumo is circling Sensei Yugana from a distance.
"..he is getting serious."
Coming in and darting back and forth and around looking for an opening, "You have made me...responsible."
Sensei watching him,{i see what you're doing..}"responsible?"
Suddenly he stops and puts his fist together with alternate fingers out.
Kumo, "you took away my .... and now I have to become a brooding avenger. I hate you for that!"
Sensei Yugana, "if you do survive, what then?"
now we see each student one by one in front of Sensei Yugana.
They each react to the deaths of their classmates and loved one.
Suddenly it's dark and a voice is heard. 
Sensei Hideo, "Green and Black Class, open your eyes."
They all are standing int he exact spots they were in before Sensei Yugana arrived.
Sensei Hideo, "I know you're all confused, that was a 1st year scenario class. We use a technique that puts you all inside of an illusion.
Kumo, "it wasn't real...thank goodness" [He falls down and sits on the ground.
Sensei Hideo, "It is designed for you to experience the most emotionally impactful situation."
Sensei Shinjiro continues, "usually it's the loss of a loved one, at this point in the beginning of your life as a Senshi anyway. Even Hideo balled when she ..."
Sensei Hideo hits him in back of the head, "idiot, anyway it was a shared illusion that you all experienced and the Sensei observed, While Sensei Yugana was the common factor, the source of your torment."
Sakura, "how..did you know...who to have as our...loved one?"
Sensei Shinjiro," we did not, that was from your minds. In this situation, it was the last person you want to lose."
Inuyama holding herself and looking down, "I didn't expect anything like this..."
Buredo, "wait..." she is looking around."...where is Shinko?"
They remember she was stabbed by Sensei Yugana.
Akashi stands in front of everyone looking at Yugana, "Sensei, where is Shinko?"
Shinko speaks from behind, "hey everyone, I'm right here, sorry to trouble you."
Shinjiro,"yes she is fine, actually she..."
Shinko, "please Sensei, Don't make a fuss thank you"
Sensei Hideo,"Yes, Shinjiro, let it be."
Shinjiro, "I don't get it but okay. Well Thank you Sensei for helping"
Sensei Yugana is beginning to walk out, "it was my pleasure."
he sees the students "..what is it Gakusei?"
Sakura, "we will become stronger because of what you did, thank you."
Kumo, "yeah and I bet we get too strong for you to put us under like that!"
Sensei Yugana, "well it was Sensei Shinjiro's illusion technique but..." [he glances at Shinko before he exits] "...i have no doubt you will get stronger"
Soon a group of people come in with stretchers.
Buredo, "no one is physically injured Sensei, what are these for?"
Sensei Hideo, "the reason you're doing so well is because I asked Shinjiro to subdue the emotional connection to your experience."
Sensei Shinjiro, "once I allow the illusion to completely take affect you will be paralyzed and go through it over and over again for the next 24 hrs. sorry kids"
Kiryu, "Sensei...?"
Sensei Hideo, "when I snap my fingers you will be subject to everything flooding in. you'll be out of class for a week.."
SNAP

Soon we see the three Sensei again gathered in the arena. They are joined by...
Shinjiro, "so this is Orange and Red Class hmm?"
Jiyu, "I'm ready for anything Sensei"
Takaharu, "hell yeah, let's go."

#49 Teacher's Workday Part IV

#48 Teacher's Workday Part III

 Sedonia, “Elementairu: flame caravan!”

Hideo is engulfed in flames and sent backwards.

Krow and Subaru each have a blade to Shinjiro's throat and back.

Krow, “don’t underestimate us!”

Sedonia looks at Shinjiro, “That was Hideo Tochio,seems she is very overrated. Kill him.”

Shinjiro, “well,about that taking you lightly thing.”

Subaru,”yeah? What about it?”

Shinjiro, “it’s the only way I can…" {draw:short}

Both people fall with many cuts.

Shinjiro is sheathing a short blade.

Captain O’Hara steps in front of  Shinjiro, “I guess I’ll have to take care of you myself!”

Shinjiro, “it seems that way”

O’Hara uses Hand signs, {Dreamtairu:Loki’s world!}

Shinjiro drops down on his legs, "intereating,okay then" {Surrender}

Sedonia, “what’s he doing?”

O’Hara, “doesn’t matter make sure qe arent interrupted.”

Hand signs as he is sitting down, {elementairu:sand dome}

The ground raises in the shape of domes over him and Shinjiro.

Sedonia, “am I just supposed to stand here and just…”

Hideo voice, “die”

Sedonia, “what?”

Hideo walking up with her cloak burned and her Senshi armor showing.

Sedonia, “I’m glad ,this way I won’t be bored while he kills your partner.”

Hideo is dodging fireballs from Sedonia’s attacks.

Hideo looking at the domes, “Shinjiro,so reckless..”

Sedonia, “be concerned with yourself teacher!”

She pulls a sword from it’s sheath, as Hideo jumps back and crosses her arms.

Sedonia, “Elementairu:ignite”

The sword is now covered in flame.

Hideo, “you sure you can handle that weapon?”

Sedonia, “how the hell would you know what I can handle?!”

Hideo,”you are a yakuin level Senshi or you used to be. Now you are attempting things that are levels above your qualifications.”

Sedonia stabbing the ground with the sword, “shut up!" {Saino Chain:Elementairu:Flame Garden and Servants of fire Rise!}

Flames  begin to sprout and flourish in the shapes of grass and flowers, soon starts spreading in that part of the city.

6 figures of flames emerge and kneel in front of Sedonia.

Sedonia is on her knees,but pulls herself up using the sword hilt.







#47 Teacher's Workday Part II

 Karada is standing facing off against Baku and his Captains, {this isn’t a good situation for me} “Chosai, I’m leaving things here to you.”

Chosai , “I understand this isn’t a good fit for you.”

Karada uses mabakata, soon the three enemies go after him.

Karada is running down a vacant street, “did I lose them, I know I’m in shape but out of this buntai,I’m the slowest.”

Suddenly he jumps evading a hail of shuriken.

Voice, “Hey Jack,this guy is a teacher right?”

Karada standing looking up at them on a roof.

Jack, “yeah Dan, look at his uniform under that cloak.”

Karada, “you boys have a bone to pick with education?”

Captain Jack, “No way, in fact we’re about to give you a lesson.”

Captain Dan, " let's go!"

Both, "Joint-Sentairu:Twin Windmills Blinking Star Blades!"

They both pull out huge shuriken and throw them.

Karada, { "Joint-Sentairu"?!}

The huge shuriken appear to form extended blades from wind. Damaging the ground as they head towards Karada .

Suddenly they dissappear.

Karada, " hmm?!" He jumps but not before taking damage on the head pot.

Jack, "look at that, he has no idea what's happening!"

Karada, {damn those attacks are hard to read. They come from one angle but then disappear and come from a different angle. They disappear at different rates as well.}

His cloak takes alot more damage as he attempts to dodge right when he feels hit.

Baku is watching from a hidden location.

Baku,{interesting, teaching the chosen recruits heavy tairu is paying off. I admit at first I was concerned. But the Master Shicho was right, there is a way for the weakest to become the stronger in our new Senshi system}

Karada appears warn and frustrated, the Captains jump down on opposite sides of him.

Dan, "what the hell do you teach anyway?"

Karada,  "really wanna know? Well, for the first season students, I teach defensive tactics."

They look at each other and laugh.

Dan and Jack, " ha ha ha"

Jack, "you're a pretty big guy, I thought maybe you were a pugle master."

Karada looks at him, "what?"

Dan, " they call it Karatairu there, Jack."

Karada, "well actually..."

Suddenly Baku eyes get big, {wait, I can feel that from over here.}

Dan and Jack looking around.

Small rocks are rising off the ground. 

Karada, "Sorry that's me. By the way, I teach certain rare gifted students something too."

Jack and Dan are preparing. 

Dan, "what is that?!"

Karada," Zaipathy...{Ojitairu:Zai chain!}"

Baku,  "No wonder he came out here."

Suddenly the two Captians can't move.

Dan,"What the hell is he doing?!"

Baku, {he wasn't trying to dodge when he was hit, he was collecting the initial zai contact. He was reading their Zai signatures, so he can attach some restrictions on them!}

Karada, "sorry for the deception, I figured out how your technique works and why two of you combine to do it. But I got a little excited when you used a term from a different country." {Which means they aren't just recruiting from Dragon.}

Dan, "WHY CANT WE MOVE?!"

Karada, "my Zai chain is a solid mold,it also connects to your individual Zai systems and paralyzes them. You can't perform any tairu."

He makes a sign, [elementairu: Volcano Ring]

Earth surrounds them all, then the ground starts steaming.

Baku, "it's over,the teachers of the strong should never be underestimated."

He steps  and appears on the earth wall looking at the Captains. 

Jack,"Shicho help us!"

Dan, “it's getting hot down here!!”

Karada still standing while the lava is forming. Looks at Baku as Baku leaves. 

He walks over to the two, "as traitors to your fellow Senshi, you deserve no mercy."

Karada jumps out as the lava rises until it starts burning the two.

They scream in agony.

Screams can be heard all over.

Back with Shinjiro and Hideo, Shinjiro is leaning against a wall around the corner from Hideo.

Shinjiro, “yeah, I know this is all getting messy. Okay I’ll tell Hideo,good luck.”

Hideo waiting , “tell me what?”

Shinjiro, “now”

They are now standing in the center of those they were watching.

Shinjiro, “hello everyone, sorry it seems we have new orders.”

Captain O’Hara, “new orders?”

Captain Sedonia, “Spies!”

Hideo, “before,yes but now…”

Shinjiro, “now we are here to stop you.”

Captain Sedonia, “under those cloaks, teachers from Dragon’s Claw!?”

Sam and Max run towards Hideo and Shinjiro.

Sam, “we will take care of them Captains!”

Hideo, “oh please…{Gust shards}”

Strong wind seems to impact them.

They slam through the building landing dead with ice embedded in them.

Subaru and Krow appear on either side of Shinjiro.

Shinjiro, {I see} “well done Shi Division, I presume?”

Krow has a blade to his throat, “you’re done..”




 






#46 Teacher's Workday Part I

 Orange Homeroom has all the students from first year finals laid out. 

Yugana is at his desk while several Iryo Senshi are taking care of the wounded.

Sensei Yugana, “relax students, the Iryo will take care of all those that were injured during your finals.”

Fumiko, “yes, my buntai will heal everything you went through. So just relax, I hear the results will not be ready until your Homeroom Sensei return .”

 Buredo,”where is Sensei Tochio and the rest? I hate that she didn't see us students in the finals”

Yugana, “they are on a Teacher’s Workday, a holiday during finals so they can take time for themselves.”

Jiyu voice over, “i guess our syrong teachers need a rest sometimes too”

Right before the finals,In a city named…

Tsyoi Karada is dressed in a large cloak, “Hawk city, I really don’t like this place.”

Shinjiro from behind, “That can’t be right. I seem to remember you loving this place.”

Sosuke  also in a cloak, “No Shijiro,you love this place. Everyone else detests it.”

Karada, “it just gives me the willies”

Chosai  Arashi, “did you say willies?”

Hideo, “this is an ideal location for a revolution”

Furui, “Strong accusation without evidence. Besides Taisa just wants us to find out as much as we can.”

Shinjiro, “So what would you call it Sencho?”

Furui, “well so far the Intel Division has discovered student to Sajento ranks are being recruited for something. They are being sold a very attractive dream, that they'd rather give up their lives for than betray.”

Sosuke, “the students were given exiting scripts to leave their campus undetected. So we are dealing with highly skilled individuals at the least and obviously organized with a common focus.”

Chosai , “those students being lied to and…”

Hideo, “stop with that, every single student is intelligent and capable of making decisions for themselves. All the traitors all guilty, they chose their paths and the repercussions.”

Shinjiro, “yeah, sorry Chosai, they all knew what was at stake. She is right their lives are now forfeit.”

Karada, “look who is getting serious”

Tsyui, “hey Sencho, can we go now?”

Furui, “Everyone split into your two pillars formations, you know what to do. Report back at the designated location when you’re done.”

Karada, “come on Chosai ”

Chosai , “okay big guy, let’s do this!”

They all leave in pairs.

In the city there is a building with two guards standing by. They are dressed in simple clothing with a sash over their left shoulders. They have small metallic plates with a symbol on it.

Across the street in the shadows are Shinjiro and Hideo.

Shinjiro, “they seem to be students recruits,I’m guessing from their Zai levels. Meaning whatever is in there isn’t important.”

Suddenly another person comes out of the door.

Guard one, “Second Crow?”

Crow, “Shain Max and Sam,I see you’re settling in.”

Hideo, “I recognize that one, he graduated several years ago. A traitor…”

She is reaching under her cloak.

Shinjiro holding his hand over her, {Second Crow?}“wait, look…”

A man in Senshi armor with a rope like sash over his shoulder.

Guard 3, “Captain O’Hara, I just asked Captain Sedonia about the refugees located on the other side of the city.”

Captain Sedonia, “her response I am guessing was to the effect of let them all die?”

A woman just then walks out in a Senshi armor and a rope like Sash over her shoulder, “ I did…”

Shinjiro, “you feel that Hideo,these two are different?”

Hideo , “yeah,they dwarf the other three in zai intensity alone.”

Captain Sedonia, “this is going to be one of the Secret Cities of the returned system. No room for the worthless here.”

Shinjiro, {Secret city and returned system? Is she talking about the old Senshi system from over 1000 years ago?}

Captain O’Hara ,”how many are left in the city now?”

Sam, “Sir, there are twenty-five, that is including families individuals and shop keepers.”

Max,”are we really going to kill them all Captains?”

Captain O’Hara, “relax recruit, she is just a hot head, only the Shicho can make that call”

Shinjiro and Hideo, {The Shicho?!”}

Now see a big building the inside is like a meeting hall. There are dozens of people going in, all dressed simply.

A stage is in front of the room with a podium in the center. There are three people in hooded cloaks,on stage with several others placed nearby on either side.

The middle person speaks as they all remove their hoods, “On my left and right are Shicho Baku and Shicho Todoroki.”

Baku, “welcome.”

Todoroki, “pay attention and don’t waste our time.”

Continues, “I am Shicho Oku and this i your city now!”

The crowd seems hesitant.

Baku, “she is being literal you have all been chosen to live train and grow in this city.”

Todoroki, “if you’re worthy and truly  committed to the cause.”

Oku, “I know you recruits have all been told the basics of our mission. I will tell you a bit more, so pay attention carefully.”

Chosai is in an unknown location.

Chosai, “damn it I can’t see anything like this, Karada. Why do you get to be out there while I'm stuck here?”

Karada’ s voice, “Chosai, you know your abilities are not designed for stealth. Besides you can hear everything and sense everyone’s zai and position in the room.”

Chosai, “Yeah yeah, I know there are some high levels in the room. Three are the highest with several not too far below them. Most of the room is full of mediocre levels though. But whatever, I hate waiting.”

Back in the room.

Oku, “We shall take old cities, abandoned cities and even build cites from nothing. They will all be in secret locations with strong precautions to keep them hidden. Only the chosen will be able to enter and exit freely.”

Baku, “this is going to happen in every country not just this one,we will grow.”

Todoroki, “we will topple all the governments, both independent and The Federation if they oppose us.”

Oku, “yes but only if provoked or they attempt to stop our end goal. To return to the true system of the Senshi. Right now too many Senshi secrets are common knowledge amongst civilians!”

Recruit, “she’s right they do know about us in the cities and bigger villages.”

Oku, “exactly, we will cleanse the world of those that know our deep secrets or techniques our scripts, what makes us Senshi. We will rid the country of all of those that do not deserve this knowledge.”

Recruit 2, “what do you mean,Shicho Oku?”

The three look at each other and smile.

Oku, “well we do what Senshi do best, we kill them and destroy any trace of ourselves ever being there.”

Todoroki steps up, “that is of course not the first step, no the first step is getting rid of the weakness in this room.”

Baku, “you’re in a rush Todoroki, that was supposed to be later.”

Oku, “ it’s fine, Captains get ready.”

The several silent ones near the stage all pull out a short staff and place it in front of them.

Recruit 1, “what is going on?”

Oku, “now those that are truly dedicated to achieving this goal and more power than the Council step forward. If you have any doubt then step back.”

Most step forward a few step back.

Recruit 3, “I’m sorry I just don’t know about killing innocent people.”

Baku, “then take pride in your morals…”

Captains, “Dreamtairu: mind bridge”

All the recruits forward eyes glow.

Oku, “you all that stepped backward are now traitors of the Phoenix”

Captains, “mind eclipse…kill the traitors of the Phoenix” 

Suddenly they attack.

Todoroki, "weakness, I can’t stand it. I’m going to take care of the loose ends.”

Baku, “not yet, the Master Shicho hasn’t said to yet.”

Chosai appears out of nowhere attacking Todoroki,whom barely dodges.

“Where did she come from?!”

Karada voice, “Damn it, so hit headed”

In the cloak Karada is standing , “We came for intel, but Chosai just hates waiting”

Oku, “Tsyui Karada and Chosai Arashi, I know what that means. My Captains, let’s go!”

Karada, “aww you’re leaving little Oku?”

As the last traitor drops the Captains return their staffs. Baku, “Captains kill the spies!”

Karada sees Oku and her Captains leaving, {I guess this can’t be helped} 

Elswhere.

Furui and Sosuke are walking.

Sosuke,  “Current intel is as follows: The enemy is taking over multiple cities and making them Senshi only,they are focused on a return to the original Senshi system and they want to keep all Senshi knowledge secret.”

Furui, “not a bad plan really, not too sure about taking over cities. Maybe if they kept it to just Federation cities?”

Sosuke, “it continues: they want to kill any outsider  that has any Senshi secrets, If any government gets involved they will topple them,federation or independent.”

Furui,”well that’s too bad.”

Oku voice with her Captains, “too bad for you Sensei Furui,remember me?”

Furui, “yes Oku, you’re part of this?”

Captain, “That’s Shicho Oku, you two will die here.”

Sosuke, “doubtful.”

Oku making hand signs, “You said I could never surpass you with my techniques…Ojitairu: Fatuasi Funeral!"

#12. The worst Class

We see a man wearing a teachers vest over a loose T-Shirt,falling over ankle length cargo pants and wearing athletic footwear. 
His hair is unkempt with arms folded and a serious look on his face. 
The man,”I am the home room teacher for Green Class, Sensei Shinjiro Yokosuka. Today you will take this class together, on your journey to be true Senshi.”
He looks down for a moment.
Sensei Shinjiro, “That was too serious, sorry Hideo I tried”
He gets a relaxed posture from here.
Soon a female walks up from behind she is shoulder height to Shinjiro, wearing a sleeveless knee high dress. It has splits on the side, with long length dark gloves. Her over sized boots reach just beyond view under her dress.
Sensei Hideo, “Sensei Shinjiro,you can’t be so easy on the students. How will they take you serious?”
Sensei Shinjiro, “Come on Hideo, their all good kids right?”
Hideo looking towards the class visibly frustrated, “That is besides the point and call me Sensei in front of the students.”
Sensei Shinjiro, “sure thing Hideo, uhm Sensei. Sorry.” He rubs his head.
Sensei Hideo, “hopeless. Anyway class let’s get started as soon as...”
Shinko raises her hand with her other hand holding her jacket closed, “Excuse me,Sensei...what is this place?”
Sensei Shinjiro, “well aren’t you something, polite isn’t she ?”
Sensei Hideo, “this is the Paladium of  Batros Hall Shinko, most of the combined lessons will be here.”
Kiryu (Black class) kneeling on the ground looking, “There was a fight here recently Sensei,is that what we’re doing with Green Class?”
Akashi (Black class)responds before Sensei Hideo, “Hey Kiryu we’re finally gonna get some fighting in!”
Inuyama (Green Class), That would be pointless right now, Green Class is too strong for you.”
Buredo (black class), “What did you say,Green class winch?!”
Students on both sides are holding the two female students back.
Sensei Hideo, “enough.”
They all stop 
Sensei Hideo, “this was your scheduled time for defense class. But it seems Sensei Karada has put the another class in the infirmary. So he is busy looking over them at the Medical division, as punishment.”
Akashi(Black class), “infirmary, isn’t that a bit much?”
Sakura(Green Class), “this is where you learn to be one of the best, people will get hurt deal with it.”
Sensei Shinjiro, “Karada went easy this year no one died has yet.”
Shinko(Black class), {no one has  died?}
Kumo (Green Class), “Shinjiro Sensei, are you guys going to teach us defense instead?”
Takizawa(Green class), “as long as we aren’t fighting each other,I’m not ready for that.”
Kumo (Green Class), “it would be great to see Sensei in action, I bet he’s really strong!”
Sensei Hideo, “it won’t be defense you’re learning today.”
She seems to look in  another direction, so does Shinjiro.
Shinjiro waves,”hey Yugana Sensei,you made it.”
 Yugana Sensei is entering from across the arena sized room.
Buredo, “this man, is he going to instruct us?” 
Just then Sensei Yugana is directly in front of her and the rest of the students, “yes I am,Buredo”
Yugana is now approaching Sensei Shinjiro and Hideo, “don’t be surprised I looked at all your files in preparation for this.”
Sensei Hideo, “is Orange class in the infirmary on their own?”
Sensei Yugana, “I have Sensei Moriyama watching over them”
Inuyama(Green Class), “getting hurt in the first week? That must be terrible for them.”
Sakura, “being so soft isn’t becoming, Inuyama.”
Shinko,”Excuse me, that was mean. He is your classmate.”
Sensei Shinjiro, “Hey don’t let anyone tell you caring for someone is a weakness. Having people you care bout makes you want to be as strong as possible.”
Inuyama, “Thank you, Sensei.”
Sakura, “Yes, sorry Sensei.”
Sensei Yugana looking at the classes gathered in front of him, “Right now I’m not the Sensei of Orange Class. I am here to teach you what true pain is, prepare yourselves.”
Ube (Black) “Pain...what is he?”
Shirahama(Black), "another lecture class, can we eat first?”
 Buredo(Black), “take this serious!”
Kumo(Green)sitting on the ground casually,”you seem to be serious enough for all of us Green Class girl”
Buredo,”My name, is Buredo. You’d be wise to remember it.”
Yugana gently says, “it begins”
 Suddenly all the students are on their knees and tied up.
Akashi(Black),“what the hell is going on?”
Kansai(Green),“When did he, how...?”
We see Yugana standing in front of Shinjiro and Hideo tied to two huge pillars.
In front of him are 12 people bound with ropes and tied sacks over their heads.
Sensei Shinjiro, “kids we had nothing to do with this! Sensei Yugana you’re getting carried away!”
Sensei Hideo, “This is too far,you don’t have to do this.”
Sensei Yugana, “You won’t be able to make any attempts to stop me,from destroying them.”
Kiryu,{destroy?!}
Akashi,{what kind of shit is this?!}
Sakura calmly, “Saino no Gakku, Dragon’s Claw. The strongest of Sensei are tempered here.”{what is about to happen?}
Yugana moves to the first person bound in front of him. He removes the bag from their head...
Ube yelling,”No, you let her go now!”
It is a woman,”Ube,my dear Ube. Please don’t get angry,I’m okay...I’m [cough-cough]okay."
The woman spits up blood onto the ground.
Ube trying to get up and free, “You bastard, I’ll...”
Yugana taking the masks off of everyone, “watch your loved one die, just like the rest of your school mates.”
All the students are shocked and angered.
Kumo,”brother?”
Akashi,”no,no,no,not you....”
Kansai,”coward...she is a child!”
Shirahama, “no take me...take me instead...don’t...”
Sakura, “he is not senshi, have you no honor...leave this boy alone”
Inuyama, “don’t touch her!”
Takazawa looks on in silence
Sata,”I will burn this place down get away from him!”
Shinko slowly stands up staring at Yugana.
Hideo, “Shinjiro...”
Shinjiro, “I see her.”
Yugana, “as do I”
Suddenly he is right in front of Shinko 
Kiryu looking on,  “Shinko,no!”
Yugana is stabbing her as she leans forward,she coughs up blood.
Takizawa,”bastard leave her...”
Yugana, “ignite:furnace blade”
Shinko catches a flame and burns falling like used logs in a campfire.
Sensei Yugana turns away as her body hits the ground, “now, for the ones you love.”

#16. The Mystery Of Jiyu Nokemono- Part 1: "Conversation"

From outside is a view of the Bartros Hall dorms,in a window on the fourth floor is Jiyu.
He is laying on the window seal,seemingly taking a nap.
A voice from below, "Jiyu of Orange Class"
Jiyu is startled, "what,whoa!"
He falls out of the window,just then Whiskers jumps up to the window seal. The cat looks down to see where Jiyu landed, then makes itself comfortable and closes his eyes.
Down below,
in the bushes is Jiyu getting up, "who did that, was that you Ushiku...?"
as he is getting up he sees feet,legs then...
Jiyu standing up, "Sensei Moriyama?! what's up?"
Sensei Moriyama,"I have something you may be interested in,that is what is up"
Jiyu walking up to him, "oh yeah, what is it?"
Sensei Moriyama puts his hand on Jiyu's shoulder, "come with me..."
Jiyu and Sosuke Moriyama are instantly surrounded by a different environment.
It is a large room with tall bookshelves,a large table with scrolls,and papers in general all around the room. In the center of the large table is a Globe.
Jiyu, "wow, what is this place?"
He is looking around and messing with things.
Sensei, "this is my study, it's in a location not known to many."
he opens a book and continues, "count yourself fortunate."
Jiyu seems to be paying him no attention.
Sensei Moriyama, "The first thing that made me take notice of you, well enough to investigate you thoroughly..."
Jiyu flipping through a book.
Sensei Moriyama, "... is you're deception."
Jiyu stops,"deception?"
Sensei, "I see that caught your attention. Yes, i have seen you in training,  as it were and also read class reports about your exploits so far."
Jiyu walking up to the table, "Am I in trouble,Sensei?"
Sensei continues, "I particularly found your enrollment interesting.Your walking miles to the testing trails isn't the interesting part."
Jiyu, "it's not?"
Sensei Moriyama, "No, the fact that your trip took several years to complete. I'm not going to ask what you were doing those years or how you survived."
Jiyu, "Sensei..."
Sensei Moriyama,"You are not in trouble, but you should know that all the Sensei have taken notice in your, holding back."
Jiyu, "i just don't..."
Sensei Moriyama, "want to hurt anyone, is that it? Maybe you think so lttle of us all that you a 2 year old boy could... "
Jiyu slamming his hands on the table, "I don't know what I am!"
Sosuke Moriyama looks at him slightly sternly. [Now we are getting somewhere]
  He looks at Sensei Moriyama and slowly puts his hands into his pockets.
Sensei, "what you are? As if you are a beast or possessed by an entity of some sort?"
Jiyu, "well, I don't really fit in with everyone else. you can't really tell but i ..."
Sensei Moriyama, "enough, you're not possessed by a demon and you're not any kind of unnatural beast. You're a 12  year old boy that's stronger than he let's on."
Jiyu looks at  him with surprise, "So i guess everyone know's that too. Well Ushiku figured it out, I guess makes sense for you guys to know."
Sensei Moriyama, "i understand you're frustrated by the mystery of your origin as well."
Jiyu, "yes, I'm an orphan Sensei, but that doesn't mean I ...look Sensei I thought you had something to tell me or whatever?"
Sensei Moriyama, "it's true, no one at this school is the same as you. But,you are not alone in the world."
Jiyu raises his head, "what,do you mean..?"
Sensei Moriyama gathers a shoulder bag, "enough of that, I can't tell you much more than that right now. Every one is bound by the rules of the secrecy script."
He walks towards Jiyu.
Jiyu, "are we going somewhere else?"
Sensei Moriyama, "indeed, if you're gonna grow you gotta give it your all in every thing you do not just class. So to help you, we are going to train."
Jiyu, "train?"
Sensei Moriyama, "yes you can go all out with me and I'll let you know,if you're indeed some sort of monster."
24 hours earlier...
A meeting room with unseen people sitting at a square table.
This is the Bartros Hall board meeting room,where the members make important decisions regarding the students and education in general. Each Hall as individual  boards consisting of...
The first year homeroom teachers and the Hall Dean.
Sensei Yugana,"Why is this an issue, he has committed no act to call for this."
Sensei Hideo, "It's not about that, it's how to handle what he is."
Sensei Shinjiro, "what he is? He is a kid Hideo, that's what he is."
Sensei Moriyama, "Yes with the potential to wipe out every other student on this hall."
Sensei Hideo, "exactly, the threat"
Sensei Shinjiro, "Sosuke, are you saying you see him as a threat?"
Sensei Yugana,"Jiyu is but a boy wanting to be a Senshi. It is our responsibility to help him achieve that,if he is strong enough." 
Sensei Shinjiro, {damn right, any other time me and Taisa wouldn't agree...}
Dean, "well,then how strong is he right now?"
we see Jiyu standing in a huge coliseum with Sensei Moriyama.
Sensei Yugana's voice, "he may be as strong as a teacher"
back to the meeting
Sensei Hideo,"you don't see that as a problem?"
Sensei Moriyama,"well, strength does not always correlate with skill. If he is strong or has a huge potential for power, then he needs to develop skill."
Sensei Shinjiro, "the kid is good I hear."
Dean ,"yes but how good?"
Sensei Moriyama,"I will assess that."
Dean, "I hear he can already do ghost step, is that true?"
No one speaks.
Dean, "well he has to be dealt with either way."
Sensei Yugana leans forward with his elbows on the table.
Dean, "Taisa Yugana, I just mean that depending on Moriyama's findings...."
scene shows Jiyu taking off his jacket
Dean voice, "...if we tell him exactly what he is."
Jiyu is with Sensei Moriyama.
Sensei Moriyama,"don't hold back."
Jiyu with his hand in his fist, "yes Sensei"
He begins to run towards him.
Sensei Moriyama, {Okay, so it begins. Solving the mystery of Jiyu Nokemono.}




Next: "Don't Hold Back"

World of Sentou: logistics and infrastructure

 There is no potassium nitrate in this world, which means no gunpowder. Also not able to be used to create glass, fertilizer, and as a food preservative.

Possible may be Senshii or just certain jobs taught to perform certain tasks in place of having potassium nitrate.

1. Glass made from sand using heat, charcoal does exist in this world.

2. Ice is used to preserve food. 

     A. Saino that freezes water, very basic and not battle applicable.

     B. Refrigeration buildings are in towns,cities, anywhere that people dwell. Manned by either *Protifex (artifex/proletariat combined) or retired Senshi.

3. Senshi have a division specifically for infrastructures, for itself  and in certain “treaties” within Federation territories.

 



Writer's Notes: Origin Story

Sentou

Jiyu Nokemono is a young boy that lives in White Oak village. He was raised by a loving and caring mother.  He is an energetic, fun loving and caring child. Always up for an adventure and a challenge.

HIS MEMORY:
     One day when he was 8 years old,a group of mysterious Knights came to the village,members of the country's military. Thought of as noble protectors of the country. Quickly it was apparent this was not true for these knights. They were in league with scoundrels, robbing and pillaging small unprotected villages. A little girl he was close to was assaulted and killed on the streets, in front of him.
    He tried to stop it but was thrown to the side and beaten. Feeling powerless and scared,suddenly something amazing happened.  
     The knights and scoundrels were being attacked. It seemed like magic from his point of view, people dressed in ways he never seen were attacking and defeating them.
All the assailants were defeated.
Afterwards the people stayed and helped heal people They made sure all the knights and scoundrels were gone ,that there were none left in the area.
THE actual TRUTH:
 He was left as a baby by his father and mother. The woman that raised him was rejected by her Rhenze clan.
 She couldn't bare children, the couple left him due to a war growing in the dark realm.
His "mother" loved him very much as did his "father",even if he was always working and helping others in the village.
 The attackers forced his mother into her home where Jiyu was hiding. His father at first wanted to stop the attackers but due to Jiyu being there he chose to hide with him.
 When he couldn't take anymore,came out of hiding and begged them to leave her. They stabbed him and dragged him out of the house.
Screams were heard as he died. The mother teared up.
Jiyu watched as his mother went limp, then he awakened.
As he attacked the men killing each one he exclaimed he hated them, that he hated them all. 
Just then his mother marked his foot,with a touch. A "calling symbol", it brought Kyoshi to him.
They were transported into a room, where she spoke to Jiyu.  "Don't stop caring, my beautiful boy".
  Just then the home exploded sending Jiyu flying out landing unconscious. 
    That is where The Golden Buntai members: Kentoshi,Tsuma and Chika found him. 
Before they could approach Kyoshi appeared,warning them.
Kyoshi them placed the Dreamtairu/Script, calked a "Rhenze lock" on him and sealed his true memories of the event away. He molded his memories into something more tolerable.
 When he awoke he met the fantastic strangers. 

     The warriors are called "Senshi" and Jiyu was fascinated by them. He asked so many questions until finally he was told how to become one. The Saino no Gakku(school)of this region(Dragon’s Flame) was in Queen City, the capital of this land. They told him that there were three trials, one of strength, one of mind and one of a secret origin. He said his goodbyes and then set off to enter the trials, but he was too young to enter at his current age. To that he stated he would train on the way until he was old enough in four years. 
*His goal is to make his mother proud and have his father aknowledge him.
      When arriving in the huge monstrous city, he inquires the where abouts of the trials. It is held in a coliseum, upon entering he is given something to cover his face. He passes the first trial with physical ease, struggles past the mental and accidentally blackmails his way past the third. After passing all three he spends the weekend running around the outer parts of Queen City.
The Saino No Gakku is a huge school it has seperate dorms and halls for each year students. The students are dressed in school provided clothing,for first several years. The first several years it covers them head to toe to hide any identifying traits or marks of family, clan or organizations the students may be a part of. Once they cross the threshold of the school every first year student is  subject to a secrecy Saino. It prevents them from saying there origin aloud. It is impossible to tell or show anyone your lineage until you enter the 3rd year(?) of school. That year, you may modify your school attire to show your family affiliations or wear clothing of your choice.

#20 The 6 Paths

It is another morning in Orange Class Homeroom, Sensei Yugana is standing in front leaning against his desk with his head slightly down. 
Ushiku steps up from his seat, "Sensei,you ready to take us to our first class?"
Sensei Yugana looks up, "well it seems your instructor , Sensei Karada has been called away for the day.I'll be taking you some where different”
Sensei Yugana begins walking out of the door, "come along Orange Class"
Everyone gets up and follows his lead. Until we get to the outside where they still follow.
Osata,"we just past the medical hall"
Sanjo, "Yeah we past the Combat Hall too,wonder where we headed?"
Takaharu, "Where are we going anyway,Sensei?"
Shitoku with hands in pocket, "I'm actually curious too, is this some new class?"
Jiyu, "Hey Ushiku, I wonder if we'll have homework with this one too?"
Ushiku while Takaharu is holding him back, "you little smart ass, i'll smash your face in!"
Sensei Yugana slightly turns his head, "it is not a new class so to speak,more like an exhibition."
Takaharu, "what do you mean?"
Ushiku, "it doesn't matter, i'm ready. We aren't weak as we used to be."
They continue until they are at a familiar place.
Shitoku, {these doors, this is where I  ..}
Jiyu, "Hey Shitoku isn't this where you and Shinko hang out sometime?"
Shitoku looking away {this guy}"shut up will you?"
Jiyu, "looks like we'll finally get to go inside huh?"
Sanjo, "we've never been here before,what is it?"
Sensei Yugana, "these doors lead else where other than going through the window."
Shitoku, {wait,does he know we sneak through the window?}
Sensei Yugana, "students have been sneaking in here for some time before you Shitoku or even me. Going through the window activates a yumtairu scrip a forced illusion. All you see is the stairs that lead up to the balcony. But when you can go through the doors..."
Osata,{there are no handles, how...}
Sensei Yugana holds his hand out and small glowing symbols form above his fingers then his palm. He then places his hand on the door and they swing open ...revealing a vast area with a path leading from the doorway.
Jiyu, "wow! what is this Sensei?!"
Sensei Yugana, "this is one of the 6 paths..."
Sanjo, {this school is amazing!}"we have to learn that Osata,what do ya say?"
Osata looks and looks and nods.
Sensei Yugana, "this leads to the Graduation Stadium." 
Jiyu, "are we outside of the school area?" 
Ushiku,"No way!"
Sensei Yugana, "this is the first path, each hall has an assigned path to the center, only certain members of faculty posses a script key. Usually only graduating 3rd thru 6th years come here."
Osata, "why is that?"
Sensei Yugana, "that you'll find out on your own,if you graduate to 3rd year"
Ushiku balling his fist, "we will Sensei,right Takaharu?"
Takaharu,"hell yeah"
the give each other a high five.
Shitoku, "dorks"
Yugana Sensei, "right now you're too weak to even think about coming here alone."
Jiyu, "Sensei..!"
Ushiku, "don't worry about it, he doesn't have to believe in me..."
Sensei and the rest begin walking the path,soon they come across the Graduation Stadium. When they enter this huge arena there are what seems like hundreds of empty seats surrounding the center field. There are several towering stone pillars scattered around the arena field.
There are several figures standing,waiting for them.
As the students and Sensei Yugana make their way to them...
Shitoku, "oh great, this better not be a hassle" {this uniform keeps me from feeling how sharp their Zai is}
Yugana Sensei,"Hello Anya."
A female dressed in what appears to be military style lolita dress with a red bow around the collar. She is holding an umbrella,a unique looking umbrella.
She runs up to Sensei Yugana and hugs him, "Bruce, it's so good to see you! How have you been?"
She is a little shorter than Sensei Yugana, he himself is a little below average height.
Sensei Yugana, "I'm doing well. How is everything looking for the Main Combat Division?"
Takaharu,"is that...?"
Jiyu walking up to the two adults, "hey lady who are you?"
suddenly, he is struck down without any warning.
Jiyu is face down with Sensei Yugana looking at him and Anya Lei standing in front of him.
Anya Lei bends down to speak to him, "I am Taisa Anya Lei, leader of the Main Combat Division. Dragon's Claw falls under the MCD, which includes the faculty and every student here."
Jiyu is sitting up rubbing his head, "Uhm...the Main Combat..." she stands up and looks at Shitoku and Ushiku, "pick up your classmate, it's time to have some fun."
Shitoku and Ushiku get Jiyu to his feet.
Anya Lei looks at Sensei Yugana, "Bruce, you didn't have to do that. Always taking up for me..."
Jiyu, {Sensei did that? But he didn't move...did he?}
"...call me Taisa Lei. Always remember to respect your superiors and adults in general, if you don't know who they are I usually just say Sensei. Anything respectful should work though."
Ushiku, {yeah she is a big deal}
Osata, "they are all leaders of a division,they are almost as strong as the Shicho himself."
Takaharu, "sounds like some fancy student council or something."
Taisa Lei turns around to speak, "hear that Bruce, we're a fancy student council?"
Sensei Yugana smiles, "i suppose we are, so are we ready?"
Sanjo,"did she say we?"
the students walk up to the rest of the people that were standing waiting.
Taisa Lei, "first we have...Green, a third year. "
There is a tall broad shoulder man with a hard mask and a modified school uniform.
Green,"You guys don't even know your Sensei is Taisa Yugana of the Golden Buntai?"
Shitoku, "wait you're saying..?"
Taisa Lei "it's not their fault Bruce doesn't really share much of himself. He rather they focus on becoming strong."
Yugana,"moving on, we have Orange,she is a 4th year"
A tall slender female, wearing a cat mask with her under uniform and a green class sport jacket.
She steps forward with blonde hair flowing "I have studying and training to do, Taisa Lei."
Taisa Lei, "yes yes I know but this will be fun...right?"
She steps back in line as The next person steps up to be introduced.
a shorter man with just a school jacket over a white shirt and cargo pants. He is wearing tennis shoes with Red laces to match the trim of his jacket. He has shaggy hair and a mask that covers the lower part of his face.
Before Lei can speak ,"hey guys, I'm Red, a 3rd year. You kids ready for this?"
Ushiku , "yeah, let's do this!"
Red, "idiot, we aren't here to fight you."
Takaharu, "you aren't?"
Green, "didn't Taisa Yugana tell you it's an exhibition?"
Red, "you kids are lucky to get a peak of what you got ahead of you at 6 paths arena."
Ushiku ,"Hey, you gonna call us kids the whole time?!"
Green, "yes, he is. By the way Im Green a 3rd year as well"
Sensei Yugana, " everyone give the upper class men room, back up."
Sensei Yugana and Taisa Lei use mabataki to move to the empty stands. 
Sanjo, "what the,how far back do we...?"
suddenly Red and Green mabataki away.
Orange steps up..
"Saino,Sentairu: Wind Wave!" 
everyone is being blown back to the wall of the bleachers.
Sanjo is laying on his back,{damn, wasn't that...?}
Osata isn't too far from him barely sitting up,{that was strong}"that's how its done!"
Orange puts her hands together Saino Sentairu; Earth Wind Beast"
she smiles as wind begins to blow harder and harder.
all the students are trying not to get carried with the wind.
Jiyu, "wow,this is amazing!"
Shitoku, "this is a lot of power,this is a 4th year?!"
Ushiku, {i will be stronger than this,just wait!}
Takaharu,"look at what's happening!"
the earth is being ripped up and swirling  around meeting at a point.
They are forming something big...it appears to be a tiger made of the ground. Wind rages where the stripes would be, roars at the students.
Standing atop two stone pillars are Red and Green.
Red, "that is one strong lady,using the force of the wind to manipulatethe earth into a shape"
Green, "i would say so, this is Dragon Claw after all"
Orange walks over to her beast and pets it, the Tiger rubs his head against her body purring.
Orange, "there, there...good kitty"
She looks up at the two on the pillars, "Is this good enough?"
Green suddenly is down on the ground using mabataki walking towards her, "yeah I'll take it from here."
Orange starts walking passed him, "okay,I'll leave to you then." she claps and the wind stops and the earth holding the beast together falls to the ground.
Quickly, she is gone from the field and onto a pillar.
Green cracks his knuckles, "alright class,that was a cute kitty right?"
Orange with her arms folded standing on top of the pillar,{cute kitty?}
Green does hand gestures then puts his hands together, "Darktairu: Undead Buntai!"
just then several sets of hands seem to come from the ground.
What appears to be Senshi covered in dirt and rags go to his side.
Ushiku, "what the hell, did he raise the dead?!"
several more figures have rising from the ground
Takaharu, "wait Senshi, can raise the dead?!"
Osata looking on," no..it can't be..."
Shitoku,{what is this guy,are they all this damn strong?}
Green,"well I'm sure you have questions but I'm not explaining it because i'm not a teacher. I'm a student just like you guys."
Red yelling from the pillar he is on, "hey, i'm not gonna be outdone!"
Shitoku looking around, "hey,where is Jiyu?" 
jumping down he makes gestures as well,"Get out of the way, you idiot!"
Green looking behind him sees Jiyu standing there the undead Buntai is Surrounding him.
Green, "why did you come up here?"
Sanjo, "get outta there!"
Red,"Sentairu: shadow steal...."
the shadow of Jiyu,the undead buntai and Red all leave them and stand up right,
Shitoku, {what is gong on,are they..attacking him?!}
Red, "...Elementairu: lightning cloaks!"
Soon as he lands lightning strikes and surrounds the shadows in an instant they all change form.
Osata, "those are all copies, with lightning surging through them!"
Ushiku, "hey what are you jerks doing?!Step back!"
He readies himself to attack.
Shitoku, { he is taking up for Jiyu?}
Jiyu is surrounded by both parties of the Red and Green. 
Towering over his frame, they are focused on him.
Red, "you idiot, what do you think you're doing? You really wanna fight so bad?"
Green, "you're worse than the hot head. But I'm not gonna let you off without..."
Jiyu, "You’ve gotten stronger, you can do so many more now."
Red, "what is this kid going on about?"
Jiyu turns around to him,"One of the students here tried do a shadow thing too. You’re way stronger though. It’s been a while but I just wanted to say..”
Green, "wait a minute, that bag on your back..."
Jiyu, "thanks big brothers for taking care of me!"
Red,"brothers...no... little Jiyu?!" 
Green grabs him up for a hug.
the class is starting to approach.
Jiyu,"big bear and Smokey, its me Jiyu Nokemono!"
Green is putting him down.
Red, "you little idiot don't call me that. Why the hell did it have to be your class?!"
As the Orange Class gets closer, Green and Red cancel there saino.
Ushiku,"hey what are you guys doing with Jiyu?"
Green,"well, us and Jiyu go back a little bit. Isn't that right kid?"
he picks him up by his back pack and puts him on his shoulder.
Orange appears behind Orange Class, "what is going on here?"
Taisa and Sensei Yugana appear behind her.
Sensei Yugana, "it seems that Jiyu knows Red and Green"
Taisa claps her hands in joy, "really? That is amazing, i had no idea!"
Shitoku, {this kid surprises me everyday,he's definitely gonna be a hassle}
Orange,”I’m leaving now this is a waste of my time.”
She leaves.
a little while later the upper class is standing in the center of the arena with the Orange class listening to them talk. They hear stories of how the classes in the 3rd and 4th year are far beyond the ones in 1st year.

Then Sensei Yugana and Taisa Lei talk to each other away from the students.
Taisa Lei, "i honestly didn't know they knew each other, but I did choose those two because their Saino are similar to the one described in Sensei Moriyama's assessment"
Sensei Yugana, "I am surprised as well,but there is no way we know who he interacted with before he enrolled in school. at any rate it seems he learned things from both Red and Green to create his own Saino."
Taisa Lei, "impressive, considering those are also their unique saino as well. Which why even as 3rd years they didn't have to do the entire branch to perform them."
Sensei Yugana,"yeah, that is a sign of their skill.”

 [The branch are the words used to focus and release zai properly. But if you create it yourself you can bypass most of it or if you become skilled enough.]

Taisa Lei, "we shall pick this up later,okay. I have to get these students back"
Sensei Yugana, "okay class let's go."
as they are leaving Red yells, "hey kid you still wanna be the strongest?"
Green is looking with his arms crossed, Jiyu stops walking and turns around.
Jiyu with a thumbs up pose, "yes, the strongest Senshi ever!"
Green, "and why is that?"
Jiyu, "so everyone will know ...Jiyu Nokemono!"
Takaharu, "you not gonna say anything?"
Ushiku says nothing.
Shitoku, {interesting}
Red, "that idiot is gonna have to get through us."
Green smiling, "oh I think he knows that,Drake. Let's go, we got training to do."

Book of Tairu:Orijitairu

ORIJITAIRU
 Tairu that are created by an individual,from scratch or building on an existing tairu. 
Not to be confused with Saino and Tensei Saino,which are either taught within specific groups or the ability to use them is natural.

Three wishes
  

Zai loop circulation-
 This Karatairu focuses the zai present in one's body to reinforce bone and flesh. At the same time manipulate all the internal organs of the body. Causing rapid healing and increased performance.

It takes superior concentration because the healing aspect is not automatic. The user has to focus on the exact spot that is injured while they are moving.(from flesh to bones to veins are all under the user's control)

This technique was utilized by Ushiku of Orange Class when fighting upperclassmen during the school invasion at end of 2nd year. By the 3rd year he has mastered it. 

Jiyutairu, finger crush (1st yr.)
  This tairu is specific to Jiyu, he focuses his zai over flow to his fingers to increase his grip strength.  He uses it to reinforce his hands when striking or create rivets in walls to hold onto when jumping. He combines this with another tairu...

Jiyutairu, punching bag (1st Sentou Movie)
  This Tairu uses his Zai over flow to reinforce his body and suppress his pain sensors. He developed it to be able to "take a beating long enough to figure out how to win". He is already tough but this tairu allows him to take several strikes from Sensei Karada at full strength and a full Sparring session from Sai without needing Medical tairu.

Jiyutairu, Armoured Cat (2nd yr.)
 The resulting tairu focuses his zai overflow to reinforce his external and internal physical, increase hand strength as well as amplify his foot speed. His hearing sensitivity is increased
This tairu uses two complete tairu and other abilities Jiyu learns by this point. Each time he learns a useful Kara, he incorporates it.
Ex.
     Battle Cat (2nd yr, school defense)
He adds the ability to adhere to natural surfaces, strengthens his reinforcement and speed due to his zai being released and growth. He can use his fingers as claws in battle and hearing range has increased with the precision.
   Armatos Leo
 This is the final named version, it is powered by ratio (aspect/zai mix) it puts his physical abilities well above anything he used before.
He uses mabakata in this version and his control of his hearing and eyesight is amazing. Due to using aspect his body heals any damage taken almost immediately, unless extremely severe.
He can utilize "A.L."  to the point of being fast as Moriyama,strong as Karada, and can hear even the steps of the Silent shadow tairu.
This tairu is a result of being enlisted and trained by the Leonin Army. The durability this "mode" grants him, is how he survived the battles on the Dark World.
 
Dorodango 
(NOUN
1. A Japanese art form in which earth and water are molded to create a delicate shiny sphere resembling a billiard ball.)

 Jiyu created this his first year technically when he made one to play with.
The 2nd year when his Zai was unlocked he created one terra and water using Zai to hold it together. They were first used to strike or catch off guard from a distance.
Once he learned Elementairu in his 3rd year, it became a devastating tairu.

Version 1. Dorodango:hardball

 Closed mud with a rock inside.


Zai Stealth techniques

    A. takes the signal sent to the person and reflects it in different directions but not BACK to the sender. 
    B. Absorbs the signal into the person's own Zai, so the signal doesn't return to the sender.



  

#4. Get to Class


In a courtyard is a stage with 6 people standing.  One of the 6th is at a podium. 
Dean Fatuasi Furui(Hall Dean),"Welcome to the first season, students of Dragon’s Flame. There are 6 separate campuses,they coincide with each season of school. Students are restricted to their respective halls at all times,for safety reasons."

Shitoku,"how long is this going to be?"

Buredo is beside him," stop your complaining you,this is important."

Shitoku,["you"? I don't think she recognizes me,but I recognize her voice]

Also, standing near him is Kumo and Kishi.

 Furui, "Each hall is independent,with it’s own cafeteria,medical division, living quarters, training domes and more."

Continues, “From here on you will be referred to as Gakusei,your first rank on your way to becoming true Senshi."

Kishi,"this is a waste of our time,Kumo."

Furui,"Now, about your under uniforms. The family, clan or tribe of origin has been hidden away. No student will be able to share that information. Everyone at Dragon's Flame starts the same place,the bottom."

Kumo,[that's fine by me] "we're used to that."

Furi," So any caste system you're accustomed to doesn't exist here. Your status relies on your individual and team performances  here.The only students that are treated any differently are the students from the main city, "Kogomachi"."

Showing a group of Citizen students.

Fatuasi Furui, "Known as citizen students,they are here to participate in the non lethal classes. They will be part of your homerooms, but will go to their own classes."

Focusing on various crowds. 

Fatuasi Furui, "Okay first seasoners,here's hoping you live through whats next. Now....”

"Get to Class!"

Shinko, "This is exciting,i'm a little nervous."
Kumo,"why, you look strong?"

Shinko “my village is secluded,for us Senshi are almost like a myth.”

Kumo, "well,I guess Senshi are pretty awesome.”

Shitoku steps up, “yeah but so is the danger they face on a mission.”

Kishi looking at Shitoku, “exactly.”

Shitoku, “sorry for butting in,just checking your colors. You know, to see if you were in my class."

Fatuasi Furui, "You have 3 minutes to get to your homerooms.”

Shitoku, “Well, I guess I better get going.”

He waves as he is walking away.

Kumo walking away, “Hey Kishi,stay strong without me”

Kishi is turning around, “I’m always strong”

Kumo waving as he disappears into the crowd, “see you later Kishi.”

Kishi gives a sigh,"shut up, already" {watch yourself Kumo}
He disappears in the crowd as well.

Soon....

In a classroom,a lone figure standing in front of students.
“orange class, the Gakusei are still  missing one.”
The students look around confused. The man walks toward the oversized door. “If the student isn’t get here by the time I close this door..”
The students are looking. “then you all have to go thru the entry trials again.”
The students are now in a panic as he gets closer to the door. He puts his hand on the door and starts slowly, pushing it closed someone speaks up.
Ushiku “Hey, Sensei.”
He stops and faces the student, as he continues. “I'm not gonna go back to the beginning!”
Osata stands up, “wait,this is a test. no one would be late today,right?”
Matt(Zero), “Can they try to stop you by force?”
Man at the door, “This does not apply to the civilian students,but the Gakusei can attack me if they’d like…” 
He looks at the three students, “but they would most certainly die.”
Matt, "sorry Gakusei, looks like you're starting over."
Shitoku, [that guy]
The students look at the teacher as he is about to shut the door.
Jiyu,"wow,you're a harsh teacher."
Jiyu has his foot in the door,wearing an oversized uniform jacket. 
Teacher, “welcome to my homeroom.”
 Jiyu, “I almost didn’t make it.”
He walks into the room completely. 
 Ushiku, “you almost caused us all to start over!”
Sanjo, "This kid is gonna be trouble,Osata”
Yugana, “I am Bruce Yugana, your Homeroom teacher. Just take a seat, after you introduce yourself. ”
Jiyu finds a desk and stands on the chair with the foot on it.
“Hello Orange team...”
Student whisper, “did he say Orange team?”
Continues, “I am Jiyu Nokemono, please to meet cha!” 

 First Day of school and already there are surprises!

#11. The Girl in Black Class

Outside near the common of Bartros Hall, students and faculty can be seen. 
We see Kishi standing with arms folded listening to Kumo whom is waving his arms around with excitement.
Next is Obihiro and Kohoku standing as Takaharu is holding back an upset Ushiku.
Shitoku is walking by casually, trying to avoid everyone. 
Shinjiro and Hideo Sensei are talking on a bench.
Walking by is Sensei Karada carrying two students over is shoulders while Nasu Fumiko is lecturing him.
A group of students are sparring in the grass, Sensei Moriyama is reading something as he walks by.
Shinko, a student from Black Class walks by Moriyama unnoticed it seems.
She continues to Bartros Hall,there she makes it to Black Homeroom.
She is imagining class and how everyone is talking to each other but she is by herself.
We see her walking across the campus now until she gets to a building with huge double doors. seeing a window she climbs in , soon she is climbing stairs. She goes out to a balcony and look across the school and out to the cityscape.
Shitoku from the side startles her, "Nice view isn't it?"
Shinko is surprised and turns to see lounging on the railing.
Shinko, "Uh, my apologies, I..."
Shitoku, "why are you apologizing,we're both students. Neither of us actually supposed to be up here.  We would get in the same amount of trouble if caught.So we're equals."
Shinko with her head lowered, "equals?"
Shitoku gets up and walks up to her, "of course..."
later we see them out side of the building they were just in.
Shinko, "thank you,Shitoku."
Shitoku scratching his head, “yeah sure well..."
From a distance yelling ,"Hey,Shinko!"
Jiyu is running up to them, "I was looking for you Shinko."
Shinko, "for me..?"
Shitoku turning and walking away, "well that's my signal, see you next time Shinko."{something about her...}
Jiyu, "you remember to always get up,right Shinko ma'am?"
Shinko{that's right,he did tell me that...}"yes, during all my training classes."
Jiyu, "i'm sure you're doing great!"
Shitoku is walking back to the dorms, {even with the mask, I could tell she was smiling when Jiyu showed up. }
Jiyu and Shinko are walking as he notices her head down, he steps in front of her."you really shouldn't do that you know?"
Shinko is confused
Shinko, "I shouldn't..."
Jiyu interrupts, "did you talk to anyone today, other than Shitoku?"
Shinko, "Uhm,no one noticed me, but i'm used to that."
Jiyu puts his hands on her shoulders, "Do you want to be noticed or left alone?"
Shinko looks to the left,"well, I...it's just that I'm so ..."
Jiyu, "Shinko, what do you want?"
Shinko shouting, " I want to be noticed I Want people to acknowledged!" 
Jiyu backs up, "okay then, is that why you got so strong? Did you want someone to notice you?"
Shinko, "yes, my...parents. But then it became more than that."
Jiyu folds his arms, "you want to be recognized by other senshi don't you...your classmates?"
later they are walking to the dorms
Shinko, "thank you for walking with..."
Jiyu, "you want to know the first step to be acknowledged?"
Shinko, "yes please, friend Jiyu."
Jiyu, "lift your head."
Shinko,"lift my...?"
As she lift her head, Jiyu says, "Hello Shinko,pleased to met you."
Shinko, {this boy, he...is something else}
Jiyu starts to walk off, "Go on in, your friends are waiting for you...count on it."
a few moments later Shinko is walking onto her floor. as she walks in she walks passed Buredo with her head up.
Buredo speaks from behind Shinko, well it is about time. I was getting tired of waiting."
Shinko turns around, "waiting?"
the entire Black Class has gathered around her and Buredo.
Otaru, Yea we've been waiting on you Shinko."
Akashi with arms folded, "yes, we need you in order to be a united force."
Ube, "you were so closed off all semester, we had no choice but to wait for an invite"
Shinko, "an invite?"
Shirahama, "Exactly, so we're gonna be the strongest Class of Bartros Hall!"
Buredo, "just one last thing..."
Shinko, "yes?"
Buredo putting her hand on her shoulder, "always lift your head" 






End.
