"People like that really annoy me. He's ignoring his duty! If only i were stronger... but then, if i were, i would have beaten him, and then never would have met you. Perhaps it's all for the best." I say thoughtfully. "Nevermind. one day, He'll get what's coming to him."
"nevertheless, seeing as you're my escort, i can deduce that you're not unschooled. what do you use?"

"Th-thank you" Yumi blushes at the sweet sentiment our Shy Iai guy lays down before answering the question he asked after that. "I actually practice jiu-jitsu. It's like Judo but with a little wrestling" she explains.

"oh, interesting. Joint locks are most certainly less painful then getting hit by a stick." I think about the art a bit. "Well, all I can say is, I'll try my best to not let you get hurt. Now, is there anyone who is actively seeking fight with me, to your knowledge?"

"I'll try to make sure you don't get hurt either" she says before continuing.
"Well..there's no one that DEFINITELY is coming for you. So far it's just the likelihood of the White Demon coming back for revenge or either of his brothers coming after you themselves. Unless you've made any other enemies that should cover it" she explains.

"Hmm, Nope. I think, enemy-wise, I'm in the clear. man, sorry, just felt, like, i spaced out for a month right now... I guess I should've eaten more breakfast."

"Maybe you should. Spacing out at our high school can be dangerous" Yumi replies. Her words tinged with concern.
"Yeah. Can't let your guard down for even a second" another voice joins in.
Strolling up alongside the two of you are four guys, two on each side. All of them look to be first years like yourselves. Slung over their shoulders each of them carry a long cloth case often used for carrying swords both practice and live.

"Nope, you sure can't. as martial artists, you guys would agree, right?" I grip my broom.

The guy who originally spoke seems pleasantly surprised at your answer. As he slips his practice case off his shoulder he nods in agreement. The other guys draw a little farther back as if no longer seeing the need to hem the two of you in.
"Right, right. Exactly! so you know what's coming next?" he says taking a shinai from within the case.

"Oh, totally. Check Yo'self before you Wreck Yo'self!" as soon as i step forward, i Iai straight at the front man's chest.

The guy being on the quick side himself brings the shinai in front of him and manages to guard against your vicious opener.
"Huh! now what do you know?" he remarks. Quickly he brings his shinai around him in a half-circle and then downward at our shy iai guy's head.

Quickly, I'll slide my front foot back 90 degrees to dodge, while striking again. "Heh!"

Our shy iai guy can feel the wind from his enemy's strike as it flies by his head. It is only after doing so that the shinai begins to return to a defensive posture in front of its owner, but not before our Shy Iai guy can make a counter attack of his own.
"Be careful" Yume calls "These are Kotetsu guys, they haven't been on the up and up recently"

"Oh? They haven't been? What's up, Man?", I say, as I duck and Slash diagonally.

The guy tilts his blade to compensate for not bringing it back fast enough locking blade to blade. He scowls at Yumi's comment.
"She's talking about an off-shoot of us, people acting on their own and giving us a bad name. We've no part in the actual cutting down of first years. No matter how much we hate the Shinsugumi Ryu".
After elaboration he pushes off of our Shy Iai guy's blade and brings his sword back around him so as to initiate a diagonal slash traveling upward from bottom right to upper left.

I'm going to use a Intercept, only with the broom sheath, to use a Dust Buster! "The Shinsugumi Ryu? Who's that?"

Utilizing the same speed and angular thrusting style he would with a blade our Shy Iai guy pulls off a dust buster! He stops the shinai before it can circle back around to a place from which to launch the attack. It also puffs dust in the guy's face stopping him from not only attacking but answering as well (leaving an opening for a follow up).
"They're the other sword school on campus" Yume calls out. "Only one sword school can be officially sanctioned for a club every year and the Shinsungumi Ryu are currently the official swordsmen on campus".
"Yeah right!" one of the friends of our Shy Iai Guy's opponeny scoffs. "There's barely a man among them. Three guesses why"

"Oh? is the Ryu no good? you guys seem to be good, sword-wise..."
I'll take the opportunity to step back, still on guard.
"Nevertheless, i can see your guy's trouble. Would you like help catching these dastardly impostors, sometime?"

The guy draws back as do his friends.
"If you'd like to help out you should speak with our head" the guy says. "He'll be available during lunch. Room B - 5".
With that the guys group back together and continue on their way. Though they seem to leave with ease Yumi still seems bothered by this most current development.
