"Ok, you are the first, then" Itsuko said, pointing to Mashuka
"Let us see what kind of skills do you have" she added, before fixing her MMA gloves in place and droping on a fighter's stance.

Mashuka felt a tad guilty when he was selected to go first, as a few other students already seemed to be ready to throw their punches. On the other hand, he was going to get the brunt of her power leading the pack, so he supposed the best he could hope to do to repay them would be to try and wear her down a little. Maybe lines were old fashioned for assassins, but he wasn't adverse to a little bit of order here and there.

Nevertheless he stepped up with vigor, smiling to Itsuko and giving another bow. Perhaps it was silly to think that he could actually best a skilled teacher on the second day, but in reality he wasn't out to win. These people were allies, not enemies, and if he got a bit of a beating learning how to fight like an assassin then so be it, a little pain didn't scare him.

He assumed an old and familiar stance, weight falling onto his back leg with the front more as a guard and lead. Sturdy without too much commitment, since he had a feeling he'd be doing a fair bit of dodging throughout the fight. "Would you like to start, ma'am? Mashuka asked politely. The woman seemed eager, and if she had a set way of doing things he didn't want to overstep.

Itsuko knew all too well that in a fistfight the one to move first is the one more likely to lose, so it was clear to her that Mashuka had a good grip of the basics. Nevertheless, this rule only accounted for a fight between individduals of equal skill and on this point, Itsuko was confident that she was better. So, the blonde assassin was ok with indulging her student a bit.

"Why not?" Itsuko replied to Mashuka's question before charging ahead, clearing the couple meters that separated then in a single lunge, before launghing rather telegraphed haymaker. If the punch hit his mark the fight owuld be over in the first move, if not Itsuko left an intentional opening to Mashuka into countering her in a certain way, just dodge the punch. If he bit her bait, Itsuko would simply block whatever counter Mashuka threw at her and lock him in a submission hold, trying to end the fight as fast as it's possible.

Well, that was simple enough. Itsuko seemed pretty eager to get it all done with, which Mashuka wasn't sure was a good thing. At least for him. She closed the distance in a flash, but followed up that impressive feat with a rather untamed punch. He swooped beneath her arm, and though there was an urge to strike back, he decided against it. The woman was massive compared to him, and one slip could put him down.

Instead he continued on and passed to her other side, before dropping into a stance once again. Mashuka had not survived by taking wild risks, he would wait, bide his time, and strike when he was ready.

"You are very fast, ma'am," he said, a polite smile on his face. Once again it was her move.

"Thank you. You aren't that bad either, but sadly I have to end this as fast as I can" Itsuko complimented Mashuka before 'going for the kill' by trying to get close to Mashuka, not letting him the chance to retreat. If he still tried to, Itsuko was ready to sweep him off his feet and immediately follow by mounting on top of him in position that would easily secure a five seconds hold, earning her the victory easily.

However, if Mashuka chose to strike her directly Itsuko would simply parry the blow and follow with a counter of her own, the kind of which would vary depending on the boy's next move. Though, Itsuko would like it if she could end the fight with a hold, since she wanted to avoid hurting the students as much as possible.

This was bad, he didn't have the room to maneuver backwards, and it was hell's chance that he'd be able to stand toe-to-toe in close range. This was however, a chance to learn something of her technique.

He hunched a tad, dropping so that his head would be harder to grab, and then threw a feinting strike towards her ribs. When it was innevitably blocked and countered, he was ready block as well, though it became quickly apparent he couldn't out-muscle Itsuko. Instead, almost as soon as the weight was put against him, he shifted, so that she would continue on foward, and he could lunge back and out of the way once again.

When he had another moment to clear his head, he found himself dissapointed. It didn't feel much like a lesson, more of a contest, and he couldn't imagine why she'd be in a hurry. Perhaps it was personal, maybe she thought some of the other students were planning something.

"I don't mean to keep you, ma'am, but I'm here to learn same as everyone." he said, another polite bow of the head.

Itsuko sighed once her next trick had been avoided, "What was Saya thinking? It's not like I teach anything to do they if I'm not allowed to go all out" she thought as an exasperated frown appeared on her her face. Suddenly, Itsuko dropped her fighting stance and shoved her hands on her pockets "That's right, I shouldn't get worked up about this. I'm supposed to be the coolest, after all" she said to herself before standing up idly and staring at Mashuka's eyes.

"Your name's Mashuka Shamal, right?" Itsuko said in a dangerously casual one, as if she had finally achieved her 'zone', the point where she's at her best, though from an outsider's view point, her next question qould look like a mad woman's rambling "Say to me. What would you do, if you you were stuck in the middle of the Amazon Jungle, being chased by Las FARC while trying to cross the Brazilian border hauling a case full of gold that would be used to finance all kinds of terrorist activities?"

Yet, there was a method to it, since Itsuko's forte never has been in her fighting skills or her physical fitness (granted that both were trully way above the average), but in her opponent's mind by ding this kind of thing in the middle of a fight "You are more respectable than I thought, so I hope you'll forgive me for not going with everything I had from the beginning" Itsuko said, unzipping her hoodie to get some extra maneuvering room. The second she was done with it, Itsuko lunged at Mashuka again and once she was within a couple feet of him, Itsuko suddenly dropped out of his line of sight, planted her left hand on the ground and used the momentum to spin her body in a wide sweeping kick that would most certainly take Mashuka of his feet.

Mashuka cocked a brow at her question. Amazon jungle? Gold? Who or what in the world was Las FARC? And why would he ever finance or support terrorists? He figured there had to be some reasoning behind it, though damned if he could figure out if it was a lesson or a story.

"With all due respect ma'am I think the first thing I'd do is not be in that situation," he said with a half-sure smile. "Sorry if that's not...exactly what the answer should be."

No sooner had he finished speaking was Itsuko back on the offensive again, only this time with far more speed than before. He prepared to dodge once again, but when she dropped it occured to him too late that he needed to jump rather than dash. His feet were off of the ground, and a moment later he was on his back, wind torn from his lungs. For a moment he wasn't sure if that was it; he'd been put on the ground, and in any real fight against an assassin that likely would have been death.

He couldn't help the grin on his face, unimpeded by the slight soreness in his back. It had been a pretty neat move, he'd have to remember it for the future.

"Good answer," Itsuko said casually as she continued her move by using the leftover momentum to lock Mashuka in a knee bar, now all she had to do is hold him for five seconds and this would be over. "I still remember the damn mosquitoes. Louder than racing bike and literally everywhere. I'll say to you, if there's one place on this world that one could call hell, it would be that forest."

Itsuko continued to talk, until the time limit had passed and then, she got got back to her feet and extended her hand to help Mashuka get back up "That was a good spar," she said grinning "You are still not there but you have some potential. If everyone was like you, I'm sure you would find the Eye of Tiger in no time. After all, you've got the strongest woman in the world as a teacher, right?" Itsuko finished her declaration and slapped Mashuka's shoulder.

"Anything more you wanna say" Itsuko asked Mashuka, "'cause if not, then it's time for the next fight."

When all was said and done, Mashuka felt a bit lucky. He'd exepcted broken bones and boodied lips, but instead he was able to stand and even walk perfectly fine. Not to mention he'd actually learned a few things. All in all, a good lesson, he thought.

He gave Itsuko a bow and shook his head. No ma'am, that'll be all. Thank you for the lesson," he said, and then made his way out of their little arena.

It looked as though they were not done, as another official of the school announced they would be enduring a "torture class" next. He would be lying if he said that didn't frighten him a bit, but if there was something he could stand, it was a beating. Listening to Itsuko's parting words, he followed the rest of the students towards their next class.

"Ok, it's time to take on you, Three Stooges" Itsuko said, beckoning the trio to come at her with her gloved hand, while hopping in the place where she was standing, like a boxer. "What's the problem, do you think that 3 versus 1 isn't fair enough?" The Rampaging Tiger taunted, before dropping in a low stance, ready for what's to come.

As soon as Rei saw Itsuko get into a battle stance, she rushed forward with little sign of her charge. All that was said to her teammates was, "Stay out of my way," and she was off. The younger Momoko lashed out with clenched fists, moving in a blur as her red eyes were narrowed and focused on their task. Surely she didn't expect to win alone, did she?

Sayaka still stood by the younger Momoko's side as she headed towards their enemy" Nope, I'm staying with you, we're a team, and we fight together not alone." Sayaka told the younger Momoko. Sayaka wanted to faint from the sunlight beating down on her but she wasn't going to drop just yet, she wanted to help her teammate before she dropped to the dirty ground. After this, she knew she would have to change her bandages and put on some fresh ones, she felt a bead of sweat run down her forehead under bandages and almost get into her eye.

" Let's stop talking and get this fight going !" Sayaka yelled." Nobody calls our team a group of retards, let's go Rei." She was right behind the blue haired girl moving just a bit slower than Rei.

What was that? A frontal assault like that for the first move? Itsuko had to admit that she was rather impressed that someone, especially Saya's sister would try such a tactic. Sure, it could work, but only if your power overwhelmed the opponent by a great deal, which wasn't the case here, so it was most like Rei thought that she could win this alone.

"Well then, if that's the case..." Itsuko sighed as she sidestepped from the path of Rei's move just a fraction of a second before it connected and extended her right arm to hit Rei with a clothesline that would be all but impossible to avoid, unless the younger Momoko could change her momentum by magic, that is. With her other hand, Itsuko reached into one of her pockets and produced a book, in fact, a yuri manga, that she began to read nonchalantly during the fight, as if the trio before her wasn't even worthy of her full attention. Also, if the move succeeded Sayaka would crash into Rei because of the distance between them.

"Let's change the rules for you three, right?" Itsuko said still reading the book "If you three manage to make me look away from this mag, the victory is yours. How about that?"

Rei narrowed her eyes, predicting Itsuko would try something like this. What she didn't anticipate was Sayaka flat out ignoring her orders and throwing herself into the thick of battle. Had they been on another place, she would have chewed the bandaged girl out for butting in. But for now, she had an opponent to take down.

Using her momentum, Rei continued to charge forward while extending her leg out for a kick. She was fairly sure the counter would either connect or at least catch Itsuko off guard.

"Quit screwing with us and fight seriously," Rei hissed, proving she definitely had the tone of her older sister. In terms of combat practicality...not so much.

Sayaka dived out of the way of Rei's movements seeing what she would, she made sure she was going to stay out of her teammate's way, she landed next to Itsuko's feet she wasn't going to get in the way of Rei and hinder her.

She pulled back her arm and swung it aiming for Itsuko's legs wanting to drop her to the ground for a quick take down.

Seeing that Sayaka was trying to get her with a rather cheap move, while she dealt with Rei, Itsuko switched plans. Spinning her body to try to hit Rei with a lariat before using the built momentum to somersault over Sayaka and drop kick her in the chest (while trying to avoid breaking any of Sayaka's ribs, if possible).

Also, Itsuko would use the manga that she was reading as a distraction, obscuring Rei's vision with it while she tried to land the mighty spinning attack.

Rei grunted as she was flung back by Itsuko's blow, raising her arms to take the brunt of the damage. With a dark glare towards Sayaka, she rushed back in for another barrage at their teacher. Needless to say, Itsuko's rather crude tactics worked as the stoic girl was momentarily caught off guard, her eyes suddenly staring at a steamy yuri scene on print.

"Ara? So you like this kind of thing, heh?" Itsuko taunted Rei, approaching her and almost whispering in her ear, while maneuvering out of Sayaka's range.
Meanwhile, Addie was completely clueless about what to do. She simply tried to charge Itsuko from one of her sides in a rather unimpressive way, only being good at blocking one of Rei's escape routes "Rei, let me help too" the lavender haired girl shouted to her teammate, despite not knowing anything about what she was going to do..

"What? Addie, you idiot," Rei said with a frown, practically tripping over the other girl in mid-swing. Really, they were getting nowhere at this point and it only served to annoy Rei further.

Once Addie tried to do... something to Itsuko, the blonde assassin, shrugged her off with a simple dodge, sending Addie on a crash course towards Rei, so that she could deal with the nuisance under her feet freely, while the other two tangled themselves.

The kick only manage to stun Sayaka for a second, but in an instant she got back up grabbing some dirt while she pushed herself off the ground in a way so the teacher wouldn't see it, she decided to charge Itsuko but stopped when she got a certain amount of feet towards Itsuko. Instead of using the dirt in hand, Sayaka kicked up some dirt from the ground itself and trying to blind the teacher, she wasn't willing to fight fair if their teacher wasn't going to fight fairly with her teammate.

"Kicking dust isn't a very ladylike way of fighting, Bandage Girl!" Itsuko shouted as she raised an arm to cover her eyes and disengaged from the trio momentarily. "You are not going to win so easily" Itsuko said as she feigned being half-blind and readied herself for the trio's next attack. The next move would likely decide the fight since it had dragged on for too long already on Itsuko’s opinion.

Rei was thinking the same thing. This fight was going on for a while now and it had to be end soon. Seeing Sayaka kick dirt up into the air and Itsuko flat out playing dirty herself, the red-eyed girl decided that things needed to be settled on her own. Her hand reaching for her holster, she whipped out her pistol and fired off two rounds straight at Itsuko with little care to her surrounding teammates.

As soon as Rei pulled a gun and fired on Itsuko, without even checking to see if her teamates were out of the line of fire, Itsuko dropped her smile and, after using the manga (which was woven with her threads) to block the fire, lunged at the rogue Momoko. Itsuko hit Rei in the solar plexus with a punch that would knock all the air out of her lungs. "Are you mad? A stray shot have killed someone that had nothing to do with this." Itsuko yelled.

"Gah!"

Rei coughed violently as the punch landed right into her gut, stumbling onto one knee before Itsuko. The gun still held in her hand, she raised it up to aim at the blonde girl before it too dropped from her grip. Using both hands, she covered her abdomen and grimaced in clear pain, glaring at the older girl.

While Itsuko was Yelling at Rei Sayaka took the moment to get in close and grab Itsuko by her back with one hand and groped one of Itusko's breast in the other, she then put a foot behind one of Itsuko's feet and flipped Itsuko into the air and tried to slam on the ground face first.

Or so, the bandaged girl thought, because she had forgotten that Itsuko was still wearing her track suit, which she unzipped while Sayaka was swinging her and as soon as her feet touched the ground, spun it, tying Sayaka's arms with the garment.

Meanwhile, Addie was completely lost on what to do, the fight had already become too chaotic and both Rei and Sayaka seemed to be in a bad situation. She only stood there staring idly, without knowing what to do. "Stop it!" she cried, "I don't want Rei and Sayaka-san to get hurt, let's give up. There's no way that we can win..."

"Ok, this was a total let down, I expected more of Saya’s sister" Itsuko said as soon as Addie forfeit the fight "Anyway, I’m done with you three." The blonde said, dismissing the trio, before calling the next student that would be trying their luck with her.

It took a few seconds for it to sink it. The set of undergarments hanging out of the suitcase. The golden pearlescent irises bridging the distance between them and his own. The little critter outfitted with the product of centuries of evolution. All Zephyr could do was let out a "Wha?"

Amy was happily snuggling her hedgehog before she could note that someone was at the door and opened it by the turning of the door knob. It was like a stopwatch showed up in the corner of her eye displaying the several mini seconds she had to hide the hedgehog. The creature was pulled away from her face while she lifted up the sheets with the other hand and mashed the hedgehog between her sheets and bed itself. The counter displayed zero as the person in question entered her room. She could see a pitcher in her head giving the safe signal they used in baseball as the sheets dropped down onto her bed again.

She deeply stared into Zephyr his eyes as he entered with his luggage "Irasshai." She slightly tilted her head at his arrival but kept quiet despites it. He must be thinking weird stuff when he saw the complete mess Amy made of the room. It couldn't be any other way. They didn't say she would be getting a roommate the second day they all enroled into this school. If they said earlier she would have cleaned her room maybe just a tiny bit. At least protect her holy clothes. Clothes were covering the floor like it was a carpet, the closets were all open with clothes dripping out from them and the worst of them all was the ceiling. It was covered in invisible wires with clothes hanging from them and a futon kind of thing somewhere on the very top. She gave a blank look at Zephyr and looked away from him in reaction of not wanting to hear any comments from him.

Zephyr gave a sheepish smile as he walked in on the closing act of what seemed to be a performance with her sheets. "...I hope I don't wake up with that thing in my bed... Also, what the heck kind of trope is this?! Did I suddenly wind up as a protagonist. Damn it, this is really starting to end up like Aria the Scarlet Ammo!" A barrage of thoughts rushed through the boy's head as he took in the decrepit scene before him. He was still in the midst of processing how he ended up rooming with a member of the opposite sex. "...Kami-sama, help me." His eyes slowly shifted over towards the untouched side of the room, with a bed and desk in pristine condition. The boy shifted his stance uneasily and slowly paced his way, stepping over scattered articles of clothing.

"She's got a good taste in underwe- FOCUS. FOCUS. ZEPHYR QUIX, LOCKING ONTO TARGET. DROP OFF CARGO." Internal barking was the only way to keep himself oriented on the task at hand. "Um... I'll help tidy things up after classes. I think we should hurry, have to get ready for the next class." He attempted to make casual conversation while setting down his belongings on his bed. The student climbed onto the cloth sheets and unzipped one of the bags, then proceeded to take out items for the bathroom. The boy suddenly paused, taking a brief moment to narrow his eyes, as if he was trying to deny the inevitable truth. "Oi. Did Haruki-kun really forget my shampoo? Erm, Amy, do you pos-" The boy clapsed his hands against his mouth, nearly tumbling backwards off of the bed with the force, "What are you doing asking a girl for her shampoo?! My trope-meter is going through the roof right now!"

Zephyr had clearly noticed the hedgehog Amy had been keeping from when she arrived in this country. She squinted at the boy and raised her al to quiet voice "Don't tell anyone." The hedgehog poked it's head out of the sheets and Amy gently petted it in response. As Zephyr walked further into the room Amy's eyes foccused onto the boy like it was a target. What was he doing here in the first place and what was he gonna do that was the head question. The first was easily solved he had a key so he likely was gonna be her room mate. The second was only clear after he asked Amy for shampoo. Amy sat upright and crosslegged onto her bed and looked over at the boy his bed with the boy on top of it. She gave a nod at his question "It's already in the bathroom." Amy then realised that he was doing something that could mean the death for her. She deeply squinted at him and stood up from her bed. She walked over towards one of the drawers and pulled a half hanging towel from it "You know what the next class is." That was the only hint she gave him before she timidly walked over towards the bathroom.

At that juncture, Zephyr had already taken off his dirtied tie, jacket, and dress shirt, leaving the lowest layer as a white undershirt. The boy craned his head back as his apparent roommate strode off with a rolled up towel in hand. His eyes widened in realization as Amy entered the bathroom. "Wait a sec. There isn't that much tim- Oh no." The temporary feeling of safety brought along with Amy's confirmation that she had spare shampoo was soon shattered. This was the day he was going to die. "I got a bad feeling about this." The boy trailed off as he anxiously crossed the room towards the bathroom, and took a step in with his own towel.

As Amy entered the bathroom she quickly slammed the door at least shut behind her so she at least had some time to go the bathroom first. It was almost uninvitable not to go in the bathroom together or else one of them would get punished and will probably die. It wasn't good for Amy if she already dumped her friends day one. This was the way of the assassin so risks need to be taken. Amy took of her shirt her short pants and her undergarments. Amy fiddled around with some more stuff and finally wrapped her towel around her body. The boy had to be entering any time soon now so she was just about in time. Amy was standing there with only a tower some bandages on her body from the fall earlier and the foot stretch thing around her ankle so it wouldn't fall apart just like that.

What initially caught his eye were the bandages on her legs. He had sworn that he had minimized the damage as much as possible, but even his most diligent attempt didn't totally suffice. But repentance for the girl's scratches were soon taken presedence by a more concerning ordeal: unclothing himself. Amy seemed to have already accomplished the feat in the sparse amount of time she had to herself, but Zephyr was left with few options. The boy let out a tired sigh as he completely enveloped his body with the towel, then proceeded to carefully and meticulously take off each article while preserving the girl's innocence. Soon enough, his clothes were discarded in a small pile near the door, completing one prerequisite of the entire quest. Zephyr inspected the room, he was surprised by its western appearance. Having expected the tedious two-step process traditional bathrooms, he hoped they could take turns between using the shower and bath. But instead, only a sole showerhead was at their disposal. "Shall we...?" The boy asked uneasily while meagering a smile.

She noted that Zephyr also completely undressed and only wore a towel when he was ready. She gave him a blank look and didn't show any innocence like she did not care about her body being seen by someone from the opposite gender. Amy also looked over him from bottom to top, she was a bit curious about his body since she had not really seen a naked boy recently. The last time she did though was on the beach when she was like two years old. She gave Zephyr a short nod and walked over towards the shower first. The shampoo Zephyr had asked for was already in one of the side racks of the shower. There were two bottles, one for hair and one for body. The one for the hair had a pirate on it with a big text under it Shampoo that doesn't sting!!! The pirate had his thumb pointed up looking very silly in itself. The other shampoo was a bit more girlier and had a fairy on it for the body.

Amy turned on the shower and slowly it filled the room with a warm white fog. Despite the bathroom being so small it looked rather cozy and somewhere you could relax. Amy took the first turn and stood under the shower head. The water streamed down over her head along her body lines into the drain. Her hair immediately started hanging down getting heavier by the water and covered most of the girl her back and the front of her face. She added some shampoo on her head while holding her towel and moved the liquid around a little with one hand in her hair. She also shampooed the rest of her body and looked up towards the shower head making her hair fall along her cheeks, making her vision clear again. Amy stepped out of the shower again looking like a puppy that just came back from a rain shower but less adorable since her emotions were close to zero. She looked up at the taller boy with her vision half blocked "My towel will drop if I dry my hair myself." She stared at the boy for a while longer and thought of something "I'll do yours."

"By the heroines! I'm dealing with an S rank kuudere! My kokoro is about to go nokoro!" Zephyr felt a stinging pain in his chest as the girl raised her vision and stared at him with a blank facade. The boy already knew it was a lost battle, one not worth waging, and rinsed himself off at a cursory pace. Since they were on a time limit, he moved at a quick pace, suspending the towel with one hand and washing himself off with the other. "Wow... this shampoo actually smells pretty girly... No duh, Detective Conan. She is a girl after all." He didn't exactly attribute the normal shampoo with the taciturn classmate, it gave off an almost addictive smell. "Companies really know how to market their products. I remember when mother forced me to test out that one brand her group was selling. Can't believe my bottle was left at home."

The boy was in and out of the shower within a span of a few minutes, there wasn't any time to waste. "I can already feel my power levels draining. I thought showering was supposed to be a rejuvinating experience..." He sighed as he grabbed a dry towel from a hook and promptly placed it on the girl's head, "Make sure to keep your towel up." Zephyr pleaded as he began to dry her off.

Amy's vision went dark as a soft towel was dropped onto her head by the hands of Zephyr. She gave a nod with the towel on her towards Zephyr that she would keep her towel on at all times. His hands quickly began with moving and it actually felt kind of nice, being kind of petted like this. She was getting kind of relaxed by his hands rubbing over her long blonde hairs. She was getting a little too relaxed. Amy accidentally let go of one of the sides of the towel without her own notice. The towel slowly slid down her body. Luckily she was still holding the front and could just barely press the towel against her chest. It was immediaetly visible she was still wearing the bottom of a blue striped swimming suit that she had put on before Zephyr could enter the bathroom.

Amy turned into shock and did nothing more then trying to cover her back. She did not care about anyone seeing her like that but she would for the love of god never display her back to the public. Zephyr could clearly see that her back was filled with big scars stretching all over her back in multiple directions. She got red and blurted her words out "Don't look!... Ecchi" Amy pouted as she turned her back away from Zephyr and slowly wrapped the towel around her entire body again. She remained as colored as a peach while she averted her eyes from the boy. She grabbed another dry towel from one of the bathroom hooks and got behind Zephyr. She started drying his hairs too with a somewhat displeased look on her face. She stopped for a moment and softly spoke to him "Sorry..." She continue the drying and left the bathroom herself as first to dry the rest of her body in the room.
