Chapter 11: 11: Kouhai
After confessing to each other they walked back towards the dojo. Claus held Shigure's hand leading her in front. Shigure didn't resist and followed Claus she wanted to learn more about the feelings of love and how to express it towards the one you love.
The four masters already changed and were talking to a new person who Hayato brought back from the front gates. Miu who was them saw Claus and Shigure coming back from the distant. She wanted to greet them back but stopped seeing Claus hold Shigure's hand. She had this weird feeling in her heart like someone pierced a needle into it. But quickly as it came, quickly she hid it with a strong face.
Hayato seeing it with the side of his eyes couldn't do anything but let his precious granddaughter go through it because if it was someone chasing his granddaughter it would be a different story but he knew Claus wasn't that type of person. After getting to know the young man for a year he was surprised and happy that he was like an older brother figure towards Miu. Deeply he sighed and just let it happen.
Akisame and the rest didn't say anything about it. They knew what Miu felt for Claus. Akisame was the one that broke the silence for the confused Kenichi.
"Claus-Kun welcome back did you took care of your business with Shigure?" Akisame asked Claus.
Claus looked towards Akisame and gave him a knowing and thankful smile. Then Hayato stroked his beard and introduced Claus. "Well Kenichi-chan, the two masters that weren't here before are these two," Hayato said while implying that Claus and Shigure were the missing two masters. He continued with the introductions of Claus and Shigure. "She is Shigure Kosaka when it comes to handling weapons she is the best there is. That handsome young man with her is Claus Lucian our newest and youngest master, Master of Juken or known as the Gentle fists." he paused to stroke his beard for a sage effect and continued "Then there is me Hayato, elder and master of the house...this is a gathering place for martial arts master who has no patience for the modern trends that turn our sacred discipline into a sport. A place where martial arts are treated with the respect that they demand a den of strength and honor...Ryozanpaku." he ended.
Claus was happy he knew he was already accepted but hearing it from the elder himself solidified it. Claus went up towards Kenichi who under the gazes of the masters was scared shitless. "Hey there, my Kouhai you've chosen correctly to learn from here," he said taking out his hand for a handshake.
Kenichi was confused with what Claus said, "K-Kouhai? but you're a master." Kenichi replied. Shaking Claus's hand cowardly.
"Even though I'm a master I won't stop learning, because if you stop learning you stop creating history and become history," Claus said. Every master hearing this smiled. Claus continued "Every master here are masters because they continue to seek for improvement and will continue to do so...There is no limit!" Claus passionately said.
"Great words," Akisame commented.
After introducing every master herein Ryozanpaku it was now time for Kenichi to pick a master.
Everything went like the Anime, Kenichi picking Akisame and him getting "trained" and pulling the tire.
Now it was night time...Akisame standing facing the moon. "Well, today was the first day, so I intended a simple body workout but...starting tomorrow we will engage in real training. So make sure you sleep well tonight and get all the rest you can." he looked back towards Kenichi who was wrecked from the "Simple workout" and said, "See you in the morning." and left.
Miu came out and told Kenichi to hang on there even though the training is hard. Kenichi seeing Miu bright smile hardened himself so he can see that smile again. Apachai walked behind Kenichi and gave Kenichi a cane that he made.
"Ah, Apachai don't worry I'll drive him home," Claus said jumping off from the roof of the building shaking his keys.
"Claus take Kenichi home? Apachai wanna ride too!" Apachai childishly asked, but Claus looked towards Miu for help and she did. Bringing Apachai back into the house.
Claus then looked towards Kenichi "Get in Kouhai." while he got in the other side.
Kenichi didn't know why Claus was driving him home but got in anyway. "I wondered who's cool car this is so it was your Claus-san," buckling his seat belt he looked around the car.
"Call me Claus-senpai," Claus said while hitting the gas pedal drove them off.
