Class 1B continued to practice making bullets and Skildus. Their attempts at bullets were making progress, at least only when compared to their attempts at the Skildus technique. Yuuto on the other hand was busy dusting himself off. And a second later his hand rake through his hair as he grumbled to himself.

Serious…Serious!!! I’m gonna rip my hair out. Why? Why? Why? Is this so difficult? If there was only some trick or something…hang on Senji can help me.

A wide grin painted itself on Yuuto’s face as he spots Senji practicing Skildus. A faint narrow wall of light fades in and out of view in front of Senji, before disappearing completely. Senji sighs and takes a deep breath while Yuuto jogged over to him with a smile.

“Hey Senji. You mind giving me a few pointers. I just can’t get the hang of this.”

Senji looks at Yuuto and nods. “Bullets or Skildus. Oh wait…”

Yuuto gives Senji a look. You already know I can’t make bullets are you trying to be funny or something. Huh? Senji.

“I didn’t mean anything by it. Anyway it’s all about control. It applies for both techniques. Focus and manipulate the energy as it pours out. I’m guessing as we get better the time it takes to make a bullet will decrease.”

“You know telling someone to focus is pretty easy. But it doesn’t actually explain anything. I’ve been trying to focus and it just isn’t working. There’s not some sort or trick or anything.”

“Trick? No, at least not with the way I do it. And focusing isn’t that hard Yuuto. It’s focusing. Just prioritize the bullet.”

“Prioritize the bullet?”

Yuuto made a face then lift his hand and focused.

Prioritize the bullet. Prioritize the bullet. Prioritize. Prioritize.

Slowly energy formed in Yuuto’s hand its shape was distorted. But Yuuto didn’t noticed because he wasn’t looking at it. Instead he closed his eyes and began slowing down his breathing. As his breathing slowed the bullet started to take shape rounding out.

Prioritize the bullet. Prioritize.

“That’s it Yuuto. Don’t pour more energy into then you can focus on containing. You want to have optimal control over it.”

Senji paused for a moment noticing that Yuuto wasn’t quite paying attention. Even though he was trying. Yuuto’s attention was preoccupied by a sudden presence.

Something familiar. But what…oh.

The doors to the gymnasium open and Mr. Yoshida walked in with Class 1A trailing behind him. There’s an odd expression on his face as he eyes all the students before glaring at Mr. Sensu.

“Sensu what are you and you’re class doing here. I reserved the gym for this time.”

Like normal Mr. Sensu stared at Yoshida for a moment before saying. “Did you? Sorry my bad. But I can’t just kick class 1B out they still need to train. The gym should be big enough to accommodate class 1A though.”

Some of the students of class 1B and even some from class 1A whispered about how typical it was that Mr. Sensu forgot that someone else scheduled time in the gym.

“Seriously how is Mr. Sensu in charge of anything?”

“He’s so forgetful.”

“Wonder if he has a lot on his mind or something.”

“No way. He’s just an airhead. The school should totally replace him.”

A casual look in the direction of one of the student that was talking and they grew quiet in an instant. Mr. Sensu scratched the back of his head and sighed.

“I know I messed up. But you’re gonna have to make a decision Mr. Yoshida. What do you want to do?”

All the student’s eyes fell on Mr. Yoshida. All except Yuuto and Senji who were both focused on the bullet that Yuuto was forming. After all it was his most successful one yet. Mr. Yoshida looked at all the eyes staring at him then nodded his head as he came to a decision. He seemed oddly pleased with himself for whatever reason no one knew.

“Well it’s obvious that…”

“Oh SHIT!”

BOOOOM!!!! The explosion rocked a portion of the gymnasium, knocked Senji on his ass, sent smoke rolling to the celling, as well as turned everyone’s attention to the smoke cloud. Which was currently obscuring Yuuto. It took a moment before it dissipated once it did Yuuto was standing there with a hand behind his head. And a weird grin on his face. He chuckled uncomfortably.

“I’m…I’m uh…okay.”

Crap. Crap. Crap. What the freakin hell. How do I keep drawing this much attention to myself?!?! What is wrong with…hey what in the world is Mr. Yoshida doing here?

Mr. Yoshida blinked barely breaking eye contact with Yuuto.

Shit. What now. Hey, is that the guy from…

Yuuto lifted a finger and casually pointed at a blonde haired student in class 1A.

“Aren’t you the guy from 3TX?”

“Aren’t you the guy from 3TX?”

Yuuto blinked a few times when he realized that the guy recognized him. Mr. Yoshida glanced at the blonde guy just as a student with dark purple hair in a bun looked around with an uninterested expression on his face. For just a moment Yuuto looked at him then focused his attention on the blonde guy from 3TX.

He’s a student here. I guess that makes sense.

Mr. Yoshida raised his hands to the side while smirking to himself in a devious way.

“I have come to the decision. Class 1A and Class 1B will train together.”

“Not really sure you needed to make an announcement like that, but whatever. I did say it was your call. You heard him Class 1B. I want you guys to stay on this side while Mr. Yoshida will take 1A over…”

Mr. Yoshida put out a hand indicating Mr. Sensu should stop speaking.

“No. I meant train together. As in pair a member of each class off together. They can practice one on one.”

An innocent enough statement yet Yuuto couldn’t help but feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up on end as he looked in Mr. Yoshida’s direction.

What is he playing at?
