Who: Baku and Ryuta (possibly Kisa, Kazuki, and Chloe)
Where: Chitoku Academy, Kendo Club Dojo
When: Tuesday, April 25, After School
What: Baku's Challenge, Round 1
The kendo club proceeds as normal today - much to Baku's chagrin. His private tutelage and extra time spent on the sport placed him at a noticeably higher caliber than his peers, and so he often thought of the incessant repetition of the basics needless and pedantic, despite knowing better. A solid foundation is the key for flawlessly executing advanced maneuvers. You're a san-dan, for crying out loud. Tough it out. And tough it out he did, his face a window into his spirit of determination, but the teen has only so much patience. After a series of drills that seemed to roll on forever, Baku finally found the chance he'd been looking for.
"Yo, Ryuta-san!" he calls out to his roommate and approaches in full gear minus the mask, which is cradled under his left arm while his shinai rests across his shoulder, held in place with his right hand, "we still have some time before dinner, and you know, we still haven't decided what we're having... but I know how we can decide."
And at the precise moment that final sentence had left his lips, his eyes light up and before the suggestion even leaves his mouth, the challenging smirk that graces his lips is more than enough indicator of what he is about to suggest.

Ryuta backed up a step. His guard lowered for a brief moment, catching his breath. 2-1. A rather disgraceful performance on my part.
He took up a defensive stance once more, but with less conviction then before. It was inevitable. There was nothing else he could do. Going in for a desperate last attack would only shame him more. I must train harder from now on. I will become stronger. I MUST become stronger. These thoughts repeated in his head as he awaited the finishing blow.

One might think that his comeback would instill Baku with a sense of pride. An individual like Ryuta, diligent in his studies and adept at maintaining physical fitness through a strict routine, would surely be a conquest worthy of celebration upon his defeat. But these preconceptions would prove shattered in the face of Baku's response. He dropped his guard. He's giving up. What the hell, Ryuta-san? And rather than triumph, the teen is overflowing with indignation.
"You know better than that, Ryuta! It's never over before the last strike!" The emotions flowing through him are clearly expressed in his shout; his anger was clearly directed at Ryuta's lack of spirit for the final round, "there's nothing worse you could do than give up!"
And then his attack began. This time, it seems that all of Baku's energy was placed into a quick spring attack towards his opponent. He thrusts his shinai out just to the left of Ryuta, under his opponent's blade, and uses raw agility to deliver a swift attack aimed at the migi-do, the side of the armor protecting the torso.
