(POV Miu )

The tall man and Alexander- kun began to fight. This was something very bad... y-yes, I was worried about Alexander- kun since the person he was fighting was someone in the Master level, b-but... now I was also worried about the safety of that man!

Alexander- kun looked quite upset and… since he was like this, I don't know if he would remember the promise he made to me before not killing anyone in this world! For some time, the explosions began to occur in the place where he and the man were fighting!!

"H-Hiii! T-This place will now be completely ruined! Already was enough with those guys poking holes in the walls, but now there are even explosions happening!!"

"..."

…Well, what Hamtaro- san says is also true. Surely the people who contracted the Ryozanpaku to protect this place will be quite annoyed by all the new holes in the walls...

“Girl… that little boy is also part of the Ryozanpaku? He seems to be trying to kill his opponent even more actively than the other Yami Masters."

"H-He's ..."

"W-Well... you could say that now Alexander-senpai is no longer in the dojo of the Ryozanpaku..."

Hamtaro -san and I can only look away when the woman who Grandpa told me that was quite dangerous and who hadn't moved until now asks us that.

Her words had some truth... Alexander- kun using various types of bombs, he had cornered a little the man who was using a stick as a sword. Furthermore, from time to time, I felt like he used the same aura that he used before when we were in the snowy mountains to mystify his enemy.

Thanks to all that, now it was that man who had rolled all over the place trying to move so as not to be caught in the explosions, flames, or the black space that seemed to absorb everything. His clothes were now a bit tattered and he had a few wounds on his body. And if that wasn't enough, when he tried to attack Alexander- kun, he was blocked by some kind of barrier.

Yes, that fight became a bit unfair for him I must say… he didn't look quite as relaxed as when the three of us were fighting him!

"U-mu... A-lex is fighting... pre-tty well."

"S- Shigure..."

“S-Shigure -san! Shouldn't you try to help Alexander- senpai now? 

...o-or better, stop him! "

"No…"

"Why?!"

Shigure who had just defeated her enemy who was now unconscious on the ground, returns to our side and she also watches Alexander- kun's fight. It seems that what Alexander-kun said earlier about that man being quite weak was true… that man only was able to fight her for a few minutes.

Either way, I also agreed with Hamtaro- san's words, so I had high expectations for her to prevent Alexander- kun from getting hurt... or to prevent him from killing the Master from Yami.

Unfortunately, her response was a bit disappointing! Don't tell me that now she totally agrees that it's okay to kill the person you're fighting? Now she seems to have completely accepted Alexander- kun from a while, but that's...

"T-hat's... dangerous"

"..."

"E-Eh? T-That's... "

...w-well, that's true. If she now gets mixed up in that fight as well, then it will only add more chaos to all of that. It seems like I was just thinking too much… it's good that she's still as calm as ever.

I think that's also the reason why the other Ryozanpaku masters didn't intervene after seeing that fight… after all, several were also quite concerned when they saw Alexander- kun being attacked by that man.

Also… Master-level people may not be that easy to kill, right? Even though that man has gained a few wounds on his body, he still looks pretty good.

Well, I've been concentrating a lot on the Alexander- kun fight and neglecting the others a bit. It seems that they too are struggling a bit to deal with their enemies. Those people seem to be quite strong too.

…Everyone except Master Ma. He is having difficulties because he asked for it himself! Seriously, what was he thinking?! The other party doesn't care much if he dies from an attack from her, but he had to do that foolish thing!

"Oh, they stopped fighting..."

Unexpectedly, as the woman Master of Jujitsu says, the first to stop their fight are Alexander- kun and that man. It's not because now one of them can't fight anymore, but rather that they suddenly start arguing about some things with each other.

Since they had drifted away from this place a lot during their fight, I can't hear anything they talk about, but...

"E-Eh? A-Alexander- senpai he is giving a sword that man? Has he gone crazy from all those explosions?! That guy was already dangerous using a stick and now he's giving him a sword?!! "

"" ... ""

…Yes, what Hamtaro-kun says is just what was happening!!

---------------------------------

---------------------------------

(POV Alexander)

…This guy really didn't just have a habit of crawling on the ground like a cockroach. He also had the vitality and stamina of one!!

Well, I didn't think it was that easy to kill a person at the Master level either. I could probably easily run away from one using all my resources, but killing him… that's something else. Unless caught him off guard, that would be very difficult!

…Besides, even though I used almost every weapon at my disposal, I was still trying to keep my promise not to kill anyone in this world. I am a man of my word!

No… well… this time maybe I was trying to keep this up because it would be too annoying to deal with the complaints from the Ryozanpaku guys.

Also, now that Miu -chan has finally opened her heart to me, it would be pretty bad if I killed this guy now and she changed her mind about us because of it!

…Well, even if I tried not to kill him by throwing the BIMs a bit away from him or when I was sure he would be able to avoid them, if unfortunately he lost a limb or two during our fight, it should still be reasonable, right?

Or so I thought at first, but... the fight against cockroach-kun was still quite difficult! Earlier, when I got a little off guard and he hit me with that stick sending me flying a few yards, I thought this guy had gotten serious that time.

…Well, taking away from the fact that it was a bit ridiculous that he was holding a stick as a weapon.

Either way, I couldn't be more wrong. After I started using BIMs, his aura became more concentrated on that stick. Unlike the Masters who use their bodies to fight, those who use weapons seem to focus their aura on their weapon! I wonder if this is what people call [Sword Intent]?

I felt that somehow if that stick landed a blow on me again, it wouldn't send me flying like before. Instead, I would be split in half or lose a limb!! Because of this, I had no choice but to use shield-type BIMs to block his attacks. This saved me a lot of trouble thank god.

Well, although it is true that our fight became a very serious and difficult match, I did not feel that I was losing. The one who was still a bit at a disadvantage was that guy. Although, that may also be because he didn't have a good weapon. If he was holding a sword now, I don't know how many levels of difficulty this fight would have increased.

On the other hand, it seems to be true that when you feel at risk your instincts and abilities can increase very quickly! During this short time when I was feeling quite pressured, system notifications that some of my abilities had risen their ranks rang out in my head.

This is good and a great reason to be happy, but… I still think that it's pretty fucking that this only happens when my life is at risk! Why can't my skills rank up when I do something like make love to Kurisu and Saeko?!!

Our fight continued for several minutes, which almost seemed like hours, but without either of us feeling like we could defeat the other party quickly. Or at least, that's what I felt.

So when I thought we would last much longer fighting, that guy suddenly stopped and spoke to me while staring at my two swords that continually tried to cut off his hand or foot.

"...those swords look pretty good"

"Well... they certainly wouldn't lose against Shigure's sword. "

“…then I'll take those swords after I kill you! I will not have to keep asking that woman to return me my sword after that!"

Fuck! Now not only is his aura that seemed dangerous but also his eyes were watching my swords madly!!

…This guy is an otaku of weapons?!

"W-Wait..."

"…What?"

"If you only want a sword... then I can give you one of the same quality as these..."

"E-Eh?"

Before the guy again launched against me, I decide to talk and tell him that. The chance of him accepting this was very low, but... I didn't want to keep fighting either! I only came here to try to meet the Jujitsu Master, I have not forgotten my purpose!!

If things end here and I don't even get a chance to talk to her due to wasting my time with him, then I would have come here for nothing! Also, I think I already avenged myself of the things from before… after all, he now had several bleeding wounds and some burns all over his body.

The truth is I did not have much hope for this. I thought he would just say something like "No need, I'll take your swords after I kill you", but...

" Really?! "

"..."

His eyes that contained madness change to ones of joy when he hears my words. This was actually quite unexpected...

"Y-Yes... but I can't give you the sword for free either"

"…what do you want?"

While it would be nice to stop this fight and without a doubt was a good thing for me, surely the Riozanpaku guys, Miu -chan, and Shigure, can complain to me if I give a weapon to someone who looks pretty crazy! So I try to put a condition to avoid that.

“Follow me and then I will give you the sword. 

Yes, become my subordinate and you can have many weapons just like these!

...W-What do you say?"

"..."

If I give him the sword and  I say something like "don't kill with it", then it was best not to give him the weapon at first, right? Also, that's not my style. The best thing would be that this guy became my subordinate!!

…Well, all the Masters were very proud people and so I didn't have much hope about this. If he turns it down... then I'll just tell him to keep it a secret from the guys here. I'll give it to him at another time when they're gone.

"...it's fine. If you give me a weapon of the same quality as the swords you have, then I will become your subordinate! "

"E-Eh? Seriously?"

"Well… I only joined these people because they promised to give me an excellent sword, so it doesn't matter who I have to join as long as I get this one."

This guy was a freak among the Masters! It was just an otaku of swords apparently!!

No… in fact, I think all the Masters that I have met up to now have their quirks. So he's not very special either… maybe.

Fuck! This was so anticlimactic!! For what reason have we tried to kill each other all this time?!! I feel like all my effort from before was in vain...

"...well, what do you think of this sword?"

" Whoooh~ It's great!"

In the end, I search in the system for a [G] rank weapon. It didn't have a special ability or was made of special materials, it was just a sword that a Master Blacksmith had put all his skills into creating. Its only advantage was its durability and that it could circulate a person's energy through it with ease. Not unlike Shigure's sword.

"Let's go back to where we were"

"Okay~"

…I was a little wary of him attacking me or changing his words once I gave him the sword, but the guy is quite honest while following me. Also, even though I taking the sword out of nowhere, he doesn't seem to be paying attention to this and is only concentrating on looking at his new weapon.

Well… I've been making things appear and disappear throughout our fight, so it would be a bit late for him to be surprised by that.

Having finished this fight, we go back to where Miu-chan and also Shigure who seemed to have finished her fight with the weak guy were. Seriously, it would have been better to switch opponents, right?
