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.

Another day of kendo practice. While he may not have shown it, Ryuta was glad to finally begin practice for the week. The past few days only added more stress to his life. Running for student council president was no laughing matter. It had both physically and mentally drained him as he spent most of his free time trying to find new ways to grab more support. Unfortunately, nothing had worked out quite as planned. But once he started the practice drills, he could feel his worries melting away with each swing of his shinai. Over and over, he performed the drills with concealed enthusiasm, enjoying the much needed relief.

Seeing how much time has passed, Ryuta pulled off his mask and took a much needed break from his practice. Once he did, Baku approached Ryuta with his challenge. It was an interesting opportunity. Ryuta already started to feel some hunger pains. And he was hoping to see the extent of Baku's training first hand. "Oh, is that a challenge then, Ogata? I would be more than happy to accept. If I win however, I want a rice omlette. Deal?" A hint of confidence creeped into his words. Baku may have a strong background in the sport, but Ryuta was sure of his own capabilities.
