Chapter 163: Fight Club (1)
~Mash B. POV~
[A few Days Later, Honnouji Academy]
As the school days go by with our Fight Club being official the daring – eh, scratch that. Most clubs aimed after us like a pack of hyenas for the chance of getting into Three-Star status.
It seemed like every other day without the kidnapping of Mako to draw Ryuko to a fight. I had our agenda for the day with each fight scheduled since we have 3 annoying people in the courtyard today.
At least I kept the minimum of pests from interfering with everyday life. I already informed the two as we were sitting in the school courtyard, preparing to eat lunch Mako said in a curious tone, "You sure you don't want any croquettes, Mash?"
I shook my head as I prepared some bento boxes for Ryuko and me to eat in a pleased tone admiring my cooking, "Yes, I'm sure. We have our lunch anyway so no worries. Oh, yeah Gear Eyes target in 10 seconds behind us. Defeat the first and the two will come in order of defeat."
Mako accepted with a grin on her face with Ryuko nodding holding her Scissor Blade, "Oh, okay! Let's eat!"
As the three of us were about to eat I moved our bento boxes away in time from a dirty knife as some random club member spoke in an arrogant tone, "Shing! Ryuko Matoi! Jack Naito, president of the Knife Throwing Club, will take – Ahhh!"
*Shinng*
"[Fiber Lost]!"
Not needing any time explaining Ryuko charged at Jack and instantly cut apart his uniform as both I and Mako didn't even look up from our lunches and kept eating in peace.
Seconds later, another poor sap came to challenge Ryuko in an overconfident tone, "Impressive! But the one to beat you is I! Nanjing Lily Club President, Kagesaburo Kagero! Hahaha- Eh?"
*Shinng*
Ryuko cut his uniform off the instant he finished his speech yawning in a bored tone, "Ahh, [Fiber Lost]. Now where's dumbass number 3…"
Yet again, however, another student came to challenge Ryuko in an arrogant tone, "I am president of the Tightrope Walking Club! Masuyo Wata-Waaaa!!!"
Ryuko cut off her uniform before she could even finish her entrance with [Fiber Lost] as she came back to us stretching in a bored tone, "And that's 3 Club member's toast. What are the total punks lost this time oh fearless leader?"
Handing her bento box as she began to eat my cooking, I responded in a neutral tone taking another bite of my food, "That makes 9 club captains today. We filled the quota for the day and any more poor saps will have to wait unless they want to break the rules."
I laughed a bit evilly using rules to our advantage. Everyone must follow the rules unless they want to suffer breaking them by the Elite Four Disciplinary Committee Gamagori is a stickler for the rules.
Opening her box Ryuko spoke finally taking the time to chow down on her food with a delighted grin on her face as she spoke in a curious tone, "A Knife Throwing Club, a Nanjing Lily Club, and a Tightrope Walking Club? What's the deal with all these ultra-specific clubs?"
Mako explained the answer to why the clubs were aiming after us in a cheerful tone as I continued eating my bento box in peace, "Oh, those guys used to be Acrobatics Club. They split up because of you. You know if someone beats you, they'll jump to Three-Star status. But since you can't get a Two-Star Uniform unless you're a club president, they all founded new clubs and are gunning for. After all, more stars mean a better life. They're all desperate."
Ryuko blinked a bit in surprise as she gazed at me with a question biting down her lunch in a neutral tone, "Oh, man this academy's system is seriously messed up. Is that why you suggested creating a Fight Club when you had the chance?"
I nodded my head explaining my reasoning foresaw this in advance in the story in a neutral tone to her, "That and to help you get stronger absorbing Life Fibers. A nice little perk of this is also we won't be bombarded with too many students all at once. Either we control our opponents next or deal with them daily."
Both girls looked at the naked club captains before Ryuko spoke in a casual tone, "Good call."
I nodded taking the appreciation of the good call. I couldn't help but a thought passed my mind causing the girls to look at me with Mako asking in a curious tone, "What's funny Mash?"
Deciding to share my opinion of my joke I told them with an amused tone what I thought was funny, "Sorry but I just thought of a good joke. It goes like this if Gear Eyes wanted to challenge Eyebrows all she would have to do is create a mountain of paperwork for you to fill out to fight her. You'd never be able to reach her with the power of paperwork."
Ryuko sent a glare as Mako innocently chuckled envisioning what I thought all in good humor, "Ahaha… that is a good joke."
Ryuko merely scoffed muttering to herself pouting as usual cursing at me, "Well fuck you, man. But can't blame the logic."
I simply rolled my eyes, but I saw the mischievous smile on her face. She knows I was merely joking as dumb as it sounds, I feel at ease trying to enjoy the normalcy in this out-of-this-world experience of a teenager's life called high school.
At the very least though I completely avoided the Mako fight with Ryuko at least. If I can derail a portion of the plot used wisely enhancing, we, I would in a heartbeat and I'm glad to see it's working.
But strangely, Satsuki hasn't pulled anything on us. Or is she merely analyzing us from atop her tower?
At least Mako's folks are staying in the One-Star District because she's a part of our Fight Club. No worries about being kidnapped and chilling in the schoolyard just trying to have some fun.
It's somewhat nice to take the backseat in some adventures at times. No need to steal the limelight of others or plan on going to another world worries of countless possibilities occurring.
No worries about the unknown. No worries about dying of some disease in a Zombie world. No worries about just dying in general. Just… I want to have some type of normalcy in this crazy world.
Something as to not focus on my despair-inducing depression and fear. The idea that I might be able to return home or worse my time has gone by when I do return would be too late to make any difference – no.
*Smack*
Smacking my face with my hands getting a grip of myself again. No. BB and Rem warned me not to fall into depression again. Gotta keep myself upbeat and hopeful that while it may take a long trip to find my home.
I will make it home. I'll find my world someday so till then –
"Mash?"
However, her voice managed to snap me out of my trance as she tapped my shoulder with a concerned expression and asked in a worried tone, "Yo man? You okay you looked like you were thinking of some deep shit? Even crying a bit everything okay?"
Huh?
I blinked a bit surprised touching my face as I felt a trail of tears. Oops, I've overthought again. Wiping the tears away I tried to ease their worried expressions with a grin, "Oh? Sorry, I guess I didn't notice. No worries I was just deep thinking of the past. Besides…"
*RING*
The bell rang signaling our class should be starting soon finding an excuse closing my bento box in a cheerful tone, "… will be missing class soon if we don't hurry. I'll catch you guys ahead!"
Before they could argue or ask immediately I wanted to avoid this topic. Damn it, I thought I had better control over myself.
Sigh…. I guess there are some things I can't control. Or rather the sensation of being homesick feeling like home made me cry missing my family and friends… It's already been 2 years of searching fearing I might never find a home…
But not all of us are that lucky to find a home. I have the patience to keep on searching I'm still young after all. I have plenty of time I just must keep myself afloat.

[A few Days Later, One-Star District]
On our days off the academy, I was currently staring directly with Ryuko staring intently at me as I couldn't help but ask in an uncomfortable tone, "Uh… Gear Eyes you seem to be staring intently is there anything you want to say…?"
She stared directly intently at me before giving me some distance as she decided to be blunt crossing her arms said, "Dude we've been living together for some time, but you seem to space out do you want to talk about it? Because clearly, something is eating you up."
Have I been seen that depressive? Judging by her eyes she was genuinely concerned about my well-being as I spoke calmly, reassuring their concerns, "Sigh… sorry. It's just I got a bit overwhelmed thinking of my home. You could say I'm a bit homesick you could say."
Rubbing the back of my head Ryuko seemed to gaze at me softly before dragging my arm as she spoke in an unusual kind tone, "Sigh… you are in need to relax dude. You're too worried lately and need a chill pill. Come on, I'll treat you to a movie to relax for the day without any drama happening. We got enough crazy shit happening in this city daily. So… you in or not man?"
Letting go of my arm I considered the idea… maybe she has a point. I've been too worried lately about the future – hold up one second.
I paused as I asked Ryuko in a confused tone staring at her blinking a bit surprised that she was offering me, "Hold the phone. I was under the impression that you were in poverty because uh… well you know?"
She didn't beat around the bush as she snorted lightly with her arms crossed in an uncaring tone locking her gaze with mine, "Tch—no shit Sherlock. But just because my old man's mansion's gone doesn't mean I'm a poor girl jackass. Contrary to popular belief my old man was loaded having me spend my time in fancy secluded schools."
Huh? You know I never did ask or knew that fact. I blinked a bit embarrassed that I never knew this fact as I replied rubbing the back of my head in a carefree tone, "Oh… if that's the case sure then. I think I might need this."
She smirked a bit too happily as she grabbed my hand. Being bold I see hmm…?
But that was when I noticed her face flush a bit as she spoke to me in a kind tone her words before turning around and getting through the door for me to follow, "You know Mash. If you have some major stuff you need to let out or vent, I'm always a door away to hear you out. Just saying."
I paused a bit at the offer. All I offered in return was a genuine smile. I think I might take her up on her offer someday. But for now, I think enjoying a nice relaxing movie with her sounds nice.
