[Rooftop, YamiTsume High School]

**Kendo Club Member #1** : AGH!!!

**Kendo Club Member #2** : GUAAHHHH!!!

(Ren easily defeats two of the Kendo Club members)

**Akira** : Nakagaichi-senpai! Shigesida-senpai!

**Kendo Club Member #3** : I-It's no use! Against an actual blade, we stand no chance!

**Kendo Club Member #4** : Leader, what do we do?!

**Zanketsuke** : Wahaha! Impressive! You actually managed to wound two of my good friends!

**Zanketsuke** : I applaud you, Demon.

(Zanketsuke points at Ren)

**Ren** : CEASE...THIS POINTLESS GAMES...UGH...

(Ren holds his head)

**Zanketsuke** : Now's the chance!

(Zanketsuke charges towards Ren with his wooden sword while smiling happily)

**Fumino** : A...! A frontal assault?!

**Akira** : Senpai, you're wide open!

**Zanketsuke** : YAHOOOOO!!!!

**Ren** : Perish.

(Zanketsuke smacks Ren in the head)

**Fumino** : (H-He...suddenly got really fast at the last second!)

**Ren** : Kuh!!!

(Ren attacks Zanketsuke)

**Zanketsuke** : Naive!!

(Zanketsuke slams Ren's knuckles with his sword, causing Ren's grip to loosen)

**Ren** : Guh...!

**Zanketsuke** : Your power is indeed impressive, Demon.

**Zanketsuke** : ...but the point is mine.

(Zanketsuke knocks Ren unconscious)

**Ren** : ...

**Kendo Club Member #3** : ...H-He did it!

**Tanegawa Nakagaichi** : HE DID IT!!!

**Kyoyutsūki Shigeshida** : BANZAI!!!

(The other Kendo Club members follow suit)

**Kendo Club Members** : BANZAI! BANZAI!

**Zanketsuke** : GYAHAHAHAHA!!! Now that's the true spirit of the Kendo Club!

**Zanketsuke** : Alright, boys. Time to head back to the club.

(Just then, Ren stands up again)

**Tanegawa** : Ah!

**Kendo Club Member #4** : EIKIJIRO, BEHIND YOU!

**Zanketsuke** : Huh?

**Ren** : Perish.

(Ren attacks, but someone jumps in and blocks his attack)

**Ren** : ...?!

**Zanketsuke** : ...?!

**Mitari** : GUUUUUU!!!!

(Mitari is seen blocking Ren's attack with what looks like a real sword)

**Ren** : Tch.

**Ren** : You're in my way!

(Ren sends Mitari flying, but Mitari regains his stance)

**Zanketsuke** : Hoh, impressive move!

**Akira** : Tokunaga-senpai! What are you doing here?

**Mitari** : I heard everything from Itsuko. Looks like a lot of stuff happened here.

**Mitari** : Anyway...prepare yourself, Takenaka.

**Mitari** : I don't know what caused you to go berserk and nearly killed someone, but I will stop you!

**Ren** : ...

**Mitari** : GUOOOOOOHHHHH!

**Ren** : You fool.

(Ren intercepts Mitari's attack, but Mitari parries his attack)

**Mitari** : WAHAHAHA! Now you lose!

**Ren** : ...

(Ren kicks Mitari's face)

**Akira** : ...

**Kendo Club Members** : ...

(Zanketsuke facepalms)

**Zanketsuke** : Oh dear...

**Mitari** : AGH!!! M-My nose! I-It's bleeding!

**Ren** : ...

(Ren walks over to Mitari)

**Mitari** : W-Wait!

**???** : Enough.

**Ren** : ...!

**Zanketsuke** : Hm?

**Akira** : ...?

**Fumino** : Wh-What...?

(Fuyu shows herself, while holding a sword of her own)

**Mitari** : Y-You...!

**Ren** : ...

(Ren starts holding his head in pain)

**Fuyu** : ...

**Ren** : T-THAT SWORD...

**Ren** : T-THERE"S NO MISTAKING IT!

**Ren** : GUAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

(Ren charges at Fuyu)

**Ren** : DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

**Fuyu** : ...

(Fuyu places her sword's blade near her mouth, and she starts to whisper something)

**Fuyu** : ...

**Fuyu** : Fuyuhime no mai...\*

**Fuyu** : Tachibana Ryu Battou-jutsu...\*\*

**Ren** : ...!

**Fuyu** : Dai-ichi no kata...\*\*\*

**Fuyu** : ...!!

(Ren realizes something, then he proceeds to guard with Shizukesa)

**Ren** : W-WHAT IS THIS??!!!

(Fuyu draws her sword and successfully slices through Ren's sword, breaking the sword as a result)

**Fuyu** : ...Jashin Zenmetsu.\*\*\*\*

**Ren** : ...

(As soon as Ren's sword breaks, Ren didn't move.)

**Fuyu** : ...Phew.

**Fuyu** : He's harmless now.

(Fuyu keeps her sword inside the sheath, and prepares to leave)

**Akira** : N-Now, grab him!

(The Kendo Club members quickly tackles Ren and restrains him)

**Akira** : ...Whatever was that move? Whatever that was, it was really overwhelming.

**Akira** : Eikijiro-senpai, do you have any idea about-

**Zanketsuke** : ...

**Zanketsuke** : That was...perfect!

(Zanketsuke starts tearing up)

**Zanketsuke** : That was such an AWESOME MOVE!!!

(Zanketsuke approaches Fuyu)

**Zanketsuke** : FUYU! WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE KENDO CLUB?!!

**Mitari** : ...?! W-What?!

**Fuyu** : ...

**Fuyu** : Sorry, I'm busy.

(Fuyu moves over Zanketsuke and leaves)

**Zanketsuke** : Ah...!

**Zanketsuke** : Aw, too bad...

**Fumino** : I've never seen anything like that. What was that move?

**Mitari** : Y-Yeah, same here.

**Zanketsuke** : ...

**Tanegawa** : Do you know about it, Zanketsuke?

**Kyoyutsūki** : Zanketsuke has learned a lot of martial styles, he must know of something.

**Zanketsuke** : ...

**Zanketsuke** : I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

**Zanketsuke** : I have never seen that technique in my life at all.

**Akira** : Wait, seriously?

**Tanegawa** : He's telling the truth.

**Tanegawa** : If he's telling a lie, he'll start rubbing his forehead.

**Kyoyutsūki** : Yeah, I can back up that evidence.

**Zanketsuke** : WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ALRIGHT THEN, NOW THAT REN IS DEFEATED, WE CAN GO BACK TO THE CLUB!

**Zanketsuke** : LET'S GO, EVERYONE!

**Akira** : Um, Senpai...About the injured people...

**Zanketsuke** : Don't worry! I've already informed the Nurse's Office! They'll bring people to take them away!

**Akira** : O-Okay.

(Zanketsuke and the Kendo Club members leave the rooftop)

(Meanwhile, Fuyu approaches Fumino)

**Fuyu** : Shirokage...are you alright?

(Fuyu offers her hand)

**Fumino** : ...You have my gratitude for defeating Takenaka Ren for us. More people would have been injured if he wasn't taken down.

**Fuyu** : No need to thank me. It's the right thing to do.

**Fumino** : \*sigh\* You are truly a hassle to talk to.

(Fumino takes Fuyu's hand and she pulls her up)

(Aogiri and Akagiri approaches Fuyu, and both of them bows)

**Aogiri** : I thank you...Fuyu.

**Fuyu** : Hm.

**Akagiri** : Kuro, go wake Shiro up. She's been sleeping for too long, don't you think?

**Kurogiri** : Yeah, okay.

(Kurogiri walks to over Kanata, still unconscious)

**Kurogiri** : Shiro, wake up.

**Kurogiri** : ...

**Kurogiri** : Shiro?

(Kurogiri holds Kanata's head)

**Kurogiri** : ...!

(Kurogiri's face turns pale)

**Fuyu** : ...What's wrong?

**Fumino** : K...Kuro?

(Kuro turns to Fumino, her eyes dripping with tears and she is heavily breathing)

(Meanwhile...)

[Classroom 3-A, YamiTsume High School]

(Mitari is seen sulking over his chair)

**Mitari** : (Kuh...damn it, damn it, damn it...)

(Just then, a girl approaches Mitari)

**Mitari** : ...

**Friendly-Looking Girl** : Mitari~

**Mitari** : Itsuko? What are you doing here?

**Itsuko Minazuki** : To see you, silly!

**Mitari** : What about your club duties?

**Itsuko** : Done 'em!

**Mitari** : ...Great.

**Itsuko** : Y-You look down. Are you okay?

**Mitari** : ...No.

**Itsuko** : Hmph.

(Itsuko moves to Mitari's front and sits in front of him)

**Itsuko** : Talk. To. Me.

(Itsuko presses her fingers against Mitari's face)

**Mitari** : I told you not to do that.

**Itsuko** : You're my boyfriend! We're supposed to help each other out!

**Mitari** : Y-Yes, yes, I know...

**Mitari** : ...

**Mitari** : (Wait a second...)

**Mitari** : (Hmm....yes, this can work)

**Mitari** : Alright, alright. I'll talk.

**Itsuko** : Great!

**Mitari** : ...

**Mitari** : (Itsuko has many friends outside of YamiTsume. If I tell her about Fuyu, she might...)

**Mitari** : ...

(Mitari smirks)

**Mitari** : Yeah, so today...

(Mitari tells Itsuko about Fuyu)

**Itsuko** : Huh?! She kicked you out because she stole Amagi-neechan's song!?

**Mitari** : Right? What a cheat! It turns out her first song as a band was never even hers to begin with.

**Itsuko** : Hngh! The nerve of that girl!

(Itsuko stands up in rage)

**Itsuko** : That's it! I'm getting my friends! She'll pay for what she did today!

**Itsuko** : You hear me!? I'll make sure she pays for what she did!

**Mitari** : ...

(Behind Mitari, his right hand shuts off an audio recorder)

**Mitari** : Thank you, Itsuko. You are very kind.

**Itsuko** : Of course! Anything for my boyfriend!

(Outside of the class, someone is seen staring at Mitari)

**Mitari** : Huh?

(Mitari looks to the direction of the person, but the person is gone)

**Itsuko** : What's wrong?

**Mitari** : ...I-It's nothing. I thought I saw something...

**Itsuko** : Geez! Don't freak me out like that!

[Hallway, YamiTsume High School]

**Eidal** : ...

**Eidal** : ...Tokunaga Mitari.

**Eidal** : What a disgusting man.

(Eidal walks away)
