Daichi looked at his grandfather and prepared himself. 'You're not going to take me off guard this time.'
"Warm Ups over. Time for the real fight." Kensei rushed over as he said those words.
[You have sensed killing intent.]
In moments he was in front of Daichi and sent a powerful punch aimed at the boy's chest. Daichi flooded his body with chakra and enhanced himself. He deflected the punch, then counter attacked. Kensei blocked and grabbed hold of Daichi's arm.
"First lesson. Taijutsu."
Kensei twisted Daichi's arm and tried to get him into a submission hold but Daichi, familiar with the hold, grabbed Kensei's other arm and got himself free.
Daichi jumped back several feet and stood his ground. 'That was just a simple basic submission hold. He was only testing me…'
Kensei ran and quickly reached Daichi. Both of them began exchanging blows at a fast pace. Kensei targeted Daichi's joints and upper torso. He increased the speed of his attacks little by little.
'His speed is equivalent to high level genin bordering chunin. And his reflexes and reaction time are nothing short of incredible for someone his age. But this fight has only just begun.' Kensei's aim was to study Daichi's strengths and weaknesses and then teach him to get rid of those weaknesses.
'He has a firm grasp on the academy Taijutsu style and his instincts are good. He's not falling for the obvious gaps I left in my defenses. It's almost as if he has experience identifying the obvious traps laid out by the enemy. If I didn't know any better I'd say he has been fighting and training with people other than me… Time to switch it up.'
Kensei changed his battle style in mere seconds. Daichi was fending off attacks with some difficulty but as the time passed it was getting increasingly harder. As the fight progressed, Daichi noticed the sudden shift in Kensei's battle style.
Kensei suddenly started attacking Daichi with much more force than before. A punch that Daichi blocked contained enough power to numb his arm.
'Ahh…. My arm. That was strong enough to rattle my bones.' Daichi put more chakra into his arms and blocked the next hard punches. As the fight progressed he noticed something strange.
'Some of his punches contain incredible force but some feel normal. No… They are slightly weaker than his normal punches. But I can't tell which is which. He's not trying to go faster and get through my blocks. It's as if he's deliberately allowing me to block him. What's he trying to do?'
It took a few moments for Daichi to figure out the old man's strategy.
'He's trying to wear me down. Both mentally and physically. I'm using more chakra to block the powerful punches. But if I don't know which ones are strong and which are weak, I'll have to use chakra to block all the attacks. Even the weak ones that won't affect me. He's trying to confuse me and wear down my stamina and chakra.'
"You sneaky old man." Daichi grinned at Kensei as he figured out his plan.
"You need to be more observant and efficient in a fight. If you use what you've already learned then you can figure it out." Kensei said nothing more as he kept up his assaults.
Daichi deflected most attacks because directly blocking them would use up more energy. Daichi focused his chakra to his eyes and ears. He kept a close eye on the muscles in Kensei's arms.
A punch suddenly broke through Daichi's guard and hit him in the chest.
[-111 HP]
"Ghaa…" Spit flew from Daichi's mouth as he reeled back from the blow. He quickly regained his bearings and defended himself against the coming attack wave.
"It's good to want to analyze and figure out your enemy's attack patterns and fighting style. But that doesn't mean you should let your guard down." Advised the old man as he fought his grandson.
The words Kensei said brought a certain memory to Daichi's mind. It was the memories of the powerful Taijutsu and sword-wielding ninja he fought in the dungeon. 'I became focused on his sword style patterns so much that he was able to shove a knife into me. And now I made the same mistake again. Can't let something like that happen a third time.'
Daichi lashed out with a kick aimed at Kensei's knee. Kensei raised his leg and blocked Daichi's kicks and forcefully locked the boy's leg in place and attacked.
'Shit. He has me locked down. If I try to get out of the hold he might snap my leg.' Daichi calculated the ways in which he could escape. 'I can't let this fight go on like this. If I do I'll fail.'
Daichi quickly focused chakra to his free leg and slammed down into the ground. The ground around the two fighters ruptured, forcing Kensei to disengage and jump back. The veteran ninja didn't look as if he just fought in a Taijutsu battle. Kensei maintained his breathing and his chakra flow was calm and smooth as ever.
Daichi jumped and gained some distance as well. But he was in a much rougher shape. He took in several deep breaths of air as drops of sweat fell down from his face.
"You're much better than an academy student. But if you want to stand at the peak then this isn't enough. Your journey has only started. The academy. The fights you win there… It's just a playground compared to the real world. Don't let your victories till now go to your head." Kensei said as he looked at the boy.
Daichi's eyes sharpened as he listened. 'I know, old man! The dangers lurking out in this world. Much more than you. I'm strong but I'm well aware that I'm still just a big fish in a small pond.'
Daichi understood better than anyone the threats roaming the world. It was why he trained so often and learned everything he could. He didn't want to draw attention to himself, so he was careful about the way he acted, to the way he spoke. His cautious nature was born from his fear of an early death at the hands of someone who might find out his secret or even just a random enemy he met on his journey.
Daichi looked at the old man and spoke. "I won't become lazy or let my guard down."
Kensei merely nodded. "Second lesson. Genjutsu."
Daichi was immediately bombarded with several of the same notifications.
[Mental intrusion detected.]
[Gamer's Mind has neutralized the attack.]
Seeing that the Genjutsu attacks failed Daichi smirked. 'I could pretend to fall under a Genjutsu spell but he would probably see through that.'
Kensei was bewildered as his illusion techniques failed. 'My chakra definitely connected with his but the moment it did it was flushed out of his body. He didn't look like he consciously disrupted the Genjutsu attacks… But judging from his grin he knows he's not affected... Is it possible? Is he immune to Genjutsu attacks?...'
The more Kensei studied and learned about Daichi the more intrigued he became. 'No. He was fooled by the Genjutsu I weaved into the substitution jutsu. So that means there are some Genjutsu that affect him… Time to find out his limits.'
"It seems you're somehow negating my illusions. Then we'll skip and go straight to the next one. Ninjutsu." Kensei weaved hand-seals faster than Daichi could keep up.
"Earth style - Mud River." Kensei spoke as the earth surrounding Daichi turned into a torrent of rushing mud and earth.
"Wow!!" Daichi was amazed at the speed with which the earth transformed. 'His execution of the technique is magnificent.'
Daichi used chakra to stay on top and not get dragged down and across the ground but he was only partially successful. Using his chakra strings he was able to quickly get to safety. He then decided to move away from the flowing terrain. Daichi jumped high and away and was about to land safely on the ground or so he thought.
The moment Daichi's feet touched the ground it was as if a glass had broken around the ground where he stood. A giant hole appeared and Daichi kept falling into the deep pit.
He quickly used chakra strings and attached himself to the walls of the hole and after several seconds he successfully climbed out. Daichi saw the grinning visage of his grandfather.
"It seems there is a limitation to your Genjutsu immunity." Kensei said smirking.
Daichi was on alert and slightly confused. 'Looks like he figured out the Gamer's Mind abilities. Or some of it at least. But what did he mean by limitations?'
Kensei didn't give Daichi time to figure it out, and quickly attacked. "Your enemies won't give you time to figure them out. You need a sharp as well as fast mind."
Daichi deflected the punch and sent a swift kick to Kensei's abdomen. He then quickly went through different hand-seals.
'Fire style - Fireball jutsu.'
Daichi released the fireball directly at Kensei but it was doused with a powerful water style jutsu in seconds. Steam wafted through the air all around the two.
Daichi used chakra sense to find Kensei through the mist. Suddenly as if he was swallowed by a black void Daichi was surrounded by blackness. He couldn't hear or see anything.
'What the hell?' Daichi increased his senses and created two shadow clones that covered his back. The three stood back to back. 'What's going on? I thought Genjutsu attacks didn't affect me?'
Suddenly three of them were attacked in the darkness. Daichi suffered multiple blows to his head and body. While his clones were dispelled after the first couple of hits.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Kensei's voice echoed throughout the black void. "Since I'm such a good grandfather, I'll give you ten seconds to figure it out. Then I'll attack again."
"Wait what?" Daichi's question went unanswered. He was breathing hard and was on one knee from the assault that just took place.
"Nine."
Daichi thought as fast as he could. 'Why? Why did this technique affect me?'
"Eight."
Daichi thought about the illusion jutsu he was trapped in now and the ones he encountered before.
"Seven."
Daichi's brain worked as fast as it could. He discarded several theories but then one came to mind. 'Could it be…?'
"Six."
'I think I just figured out a way to get out of this. Just hope it works.' Daichi made the ram seal and began gathering his chakra. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Five."
'Not yet. Not yet.' The boy concentrated more and more chakra in his body. If someone could see Daichi they would see a blue chakra mist covering his entire body.
"Four."
'Almost there…. Come on…' Daichi could feel his tensed muscles and coiled up chakra ready to burst.
"Three."
Daichi opened his eyes as he felt his chakra raging beneath his skin.
"Now." He clapped his hands and released all the compressed and gathered chakra at once. He placed his hands on the ground and let a third of it flow through the earth.
The violent burst of chakra broke the illusion, like a glass being shattered.
Daichi was breathing hard as he used quite a bit of his reserves. Several notifications popped up but Daichi ignored them.
"Crude. Taxing on the body. Inefficient… But effective." Kensei nonchalantly remarked. "So you figured it out huh. Your weakness."
Daichi nodded to the question. "I'm immune to Genjutsu that directly affects me. But I'm not against those placed on the surroundings."
"Yes. That's right. I was able to take away your sight, sound and smell by placing a Genjutsu on the terrain. It didn't directly affect your nervous systems but you were still under its effects." Kensei answered him.
"When I fell into that hole earlier… You already made a pit and then covered it with Genjutsu." 'Incredible! The foresight to see where I would land and create a trap even before I made the move… I've been playing Shogi matches with him for a year now but not once was I able to beat him. This guy is an incredible tactician. And his awareness of his surroundings and the ability to analyze his opponent… It's scary… So this is what true Anbu ninjas worth their salts are capable of.' Daichi narrowed his eyes as looked at the old man and took another deep breath.
"Yes. You might think of Genjutsu as a weak field but… you couldn't be further from the truth. The ability to take away the basic senses… that's child's play compared to what a true Genjutsu master can achieve. Your sense of time, direction, movements and much more could be altered. So just because you're immune to Genjutsu that directly affects you doesn't mean you can fight skilled illusion users. Do you understand?" Kensei wanted Daichi to expand his horizons.
"I understand." Daichi nodded seriously. 'I found a big gap in my skill. I need to fix it. And preferably before I take the genin exams.'
"Let's continue."
Kensei and Daichi resumed their fight. But it was more Daichi desperately defending himself for as long as he could and trying his best to wound his enemy. Despite all his level ups and strengths, Daichi was still unable to properly fight back against the might and skills of a former anbu captain.
As time passed Kensei showed Daichi what he was capable of. He trapped Daichi by layering the ground and surroundings with genjutsu. His ninjutsu forced Daichi to change tactics in the middle of the fight and retreat. And his taijutsu dismantled the boy's meager defenses.
Daichi was only strong enough to keep himself from getting seriously injured. But he fought at such an intense pace that Kensei had to take him seriously. But due to this intensity, Daichi was burning through his chakra and stamina quickly. During the entire fight he was only able to land a few shallow wounds on his grandfather.
But even those were ineffective as Kensei had several medical Ninjutsu under his belt.
"You know medical Ninjutsu as well?" Daichi was amazed at the skill and techniques his grandfather displayed.
Daichi threw several shuriken as his grandfather healed himself. Kensei expertly dodged or deflected them. Among the ordinary shuriken was one tied with a smoke bomb. The moment it neared Kensei it exploded covering the area around him in smoke.
Daichi rushed ahead and using his chakra sense he found and attacked Kensei. The old man parried the dagger in Daichi's hands with his kunai. Both of them pitted their strength against each other. Sparks flew as the dagger and kunai struggled and grinded against each other.
"Did you really think that would work?"
"No. But this is the only way." As Daichi said this, he suddenly let go of his strength. The sudden change pushed Kensei onto Daichi and he stabbed the kunai into Daichi's gut.
[-312 ]
[Negative Status - Bleeding.]
This took Kensei by surprise and he was unable to defend against the sneak attack to his abdomen.
Daichi held in the pain of the sharp metal stabbed into him and he buried a small knife into Kensei as well.
[-268 HP. Enemy hit.]
"Khuack-....." Kensei stepped back as he looked at the bleeding stomach. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"You deliberately let me stab you so you could injure me as well…?" The wound was not life threatening but it was still serious.
Despite the pain he was in, Daichi smirked. "You look surprised, old man. You told me to come with the intent to kill. We've been fighting for over 2 hours… And I haven't been able to land a serious injury. Not once. So this was my only way."
Kensei grunted and narrowed his eyes. His palms let up with green medical jutsu technique and he started healing himself. "Bold move. You're right Daichi. Sometimes you have to sacrifice an arm or a leg to save your life… But remember this!. You have to make sure… When you do make that sacrifice... Make sure to take the enemy down for good."
Kensei finished healing the wound by the time he was done talking. He disappeared and reappeared in front of the small boy in an instant. Kensei struck Daichi's right shoulder in two places with two outstretched fingers.
"What was that?... It didn't hurt at all." Daichi was confused by the attack. At that moment a notification appeared.
[Negative Buff - Right arm temporarily paralyzed. ]
Seeing this notification Daichi tried to move his right arm but he couldn't.
"I just struck the nerve bundle in your deltoid. It may not have hurt. But you won't be moving that arm for a while… Time to end this." Kensei told the boy.
Kensei disappeared from Daichi's vision. The next second all Daichi could see was blackness.

Author's Note:
Tell me your thoughts on the fight. Did you enjoy it?
I wanted to show that despite being old, Kensei is still strong. And Kensei obviously didn't go all out to defeat Daichi. I hope this was a satisfactory fight.

"Oohhh my head…" Daichi groaned as he slowly opened his eyes and became aware of his surroundings. He was laid down on a mat on the porch of his house.
"You woke up much faster than I expected." The voice of his grandfather came from near him.
Daichi turned around and saw Kensei in his usual clothes, meditating. Kensei had changed into a more casual attire during Daichi's forced nap.
"How long have I been out?" Daichi asked.
"About 20 minutes. Your body is much stronger than normal and you have an abnormally fast recovery speed." The old man said. He didn't move or even open his eyes. His chest slowly rising and falling was the only movement Daichi saw.
Daichi then looked at the spot where the knife was stabbed during the end of the battle… He saw smooth clean skin at the place where a bleeding hole should be. It didn't take a genius to figure out what happened. "You healed me."
"Yes I did. It wasn't a critical wound. Now get freshened up and come down. We have much work to do."
Hearing his grandfather's words, Daichi got up and went to his room. He saw the system messages piled up on the side and he started going through them one by one.

[Reputation increases with Kensei Yasaji.]
'Hmm… Seems a few of my skills have leveled up…Looks like I didn't get the bonus rewards. But I suppose successfully completing this quest is enough for now.'
Daichi clicked on the new reward skill.
[Demonic Illusion - False surroundings technique. - Active(LV.1): A simple illusion technique that alters the appearance of a nearby object or surroundings. ]
Rank: C
Type: Genjutsu
Hand Seals: Rat - Monkey - Horse - Hare.
[CP Cost: 210 CP.]
[Note: The range of this technique can vary from short to long depending on the user's chakra control and proficiency.]
'A Genjutsu huh. And one that places an illusion on the surroundings according to the caster's wishes. Something tells me that's going to come in handy one day.'
Daichi reached his room and stripped down. He found that his clothes had been torn up and there were small blood stains in several places. Discarding the rags he went to take a shower. His mind was still on the fight even as the cold water cascaded down his body.
'The old man had a counter attack for everything I threw at him. The chakra strings I used to tie him up were cut apart with chakra coated kunai. His shurikenjutsu was so skilled that I was never able to land a solid hit on him. And his taijutsu… For an old guy who lost a leg, he sure can put up a fight. Every strategy I used was useless…'
Daichi sighed as he recalled the scenes of his beat down. 'So this is what experienced Jonin and Anbu are capable of huh. The dungeon ninjas I fought till now are nothing compared to the old man.'
Daichi finished his shower and got dressed. He went downstairs and had some food and walked outside. Kensei was still meditating when Daichi came outside. He opened his eyes when the boy sat next to him.
"You are far ahead of your peers. Of that there is no doubt. But you have much to learn. And there is time for that Daichi! You can utilize the time in the academy to broaden your knowledge and experience. It will help you on your journey." Kensei said, looking at the pond in their backyard.
Daichi nodded slightly. Daichi remained quiet for a while and then asked a question. "That medical ninjutsu you used… Was it the only one you know or… Were you a medic-nin at some point?"
"I know a few medic jutsu but no. I wasn't a medic ninja. During the 1st and 2nd world war the Anbu were in charge of many important operations. And only the most skilled got accepted. So losing even one was a blow to the village. Those of us who had the talent for it and excellent chakra control all learned a few life saving jutsus." Kensei replied.
He looked at Daichi and asked. "Are you interested in the field?"
"Yes. I have a few ideas and now seeing their usefulness in a fight I want to learn it more than ever."
Kensei hummed hearing the boy's answer. "Complete your chakra control training. That will be your focus this year. Then maybe in your 3rd or 4th year, I'll introduce you to someone I know who can teach you some medical ninjutsu." He said to Daichi.
Daichi nodded and he had a pensive look on his face.
"What is it?" Kensei asked.
"It's about genjutsu… I'm a bit confused. I thought-" Daichi began but Kensei interrupted him.
"Daichi! What do you know about genjutsu?"
"They are illusions. When a ninja controls the chakra flow of a target's cerebral nervous system and affects their senses, Genjutsu is created. People use this to confuse the senses of their enemies and trick their body into thinking it's in pain when it's not. We essentially influence the senses and control what the target sees and feels." Daichi gave the reply.
"Yes. You just described the broad interpretation of genjutsu but it's much more than that. What you just described falls under one of the 3 main categories of this art… Daichi, based on my understanding you are immune to most genjutsu but not for some… I'll start you on genjutsu training when you begin your training in medical ninjutsu. I'll give you a thorough explanation about genjutsu at that time."
"I understand." Daichi nodded and got up. "I'm going for a walk around the village."
Kensei nodded and went back to his meditation.
Daichi left the house and slowly walked along the village road. His fight with Kensei opened his eyes to many of his weaknesses. 'During the blackout Genjutsu, even though I used 'chakra sense' I couldn't find him. He was able to mask his chakra and attack me. All the points he struck on my body could have been lethal if he wanted to… So how do I find someone who can mask their chakra…?'
This was one of the many new problems Daichi faced. As he walked along the road he saw a large tree nearby with birds and some squirrels scurrying about. Daichi used the chakra sense skill and was able to locate the birds and small animals around the area.
'These creatures can't hide chakra. It's why I was able to find them. It needs to be the case for humans too if I want to successfully track them. I need to find an aspect of a person that they can't hide… So what can't humans hide?'
As Daichi pondered on this question an idea came to his mind. 'Mana. Is that the answer?... Mana is an energy produced by an intelligent mind. But right now only I can use Mana and my theory is Atamagai could use it too… But what about everyone else?... Is it possible to sense the mind of a person with Mana?'
Daichi got near the tree and looked at the creatures. He wanted to test his theory. Daichi used the mana in the same manner as he used the chakra sense skill. His goal was to sense the animals near him. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
'I know the description said an intelligent mind but these creatures even though not as smart as humans still have some intelligence. So would it work on them?'
As Daichi focused on the birds near him, after several seconds he suddenly felt a spark of something. His eyes suddenly opened wide and he smiled. 'It works. I felt something. It was small. Barely there… but it's something. And the birds don't seem to notice anything… Time to test it on a person. I hope there's no negative effects.'
Daichi made his way to the village market. He casually walked around as if he was looking to buy something. Daichi concentrated his mana once again and this time the effects were magnified. He could sense every person within a certain range. And some felt stronger while some felt weaker.
'I knew it. My hypothesis was right. Mana is an energy similar to brain waves but only an exceptionally intelligent mind or someone like me who has an affinity and the gamer's ability can use it. But that doesn't mean it's limited to people like me. Everyone's mind produces small amounts of mana. The difference is they can't sense or use it.'
Right then a new skill notification popped up.
[Through continuously concentrating Mana to sense the presence of intelligent creatures, the skill 'Mana Scout' has been created.]
[Mana Scout - (Passive/Active) (LV.01): All minds produce some miniscule amount of Mana energy. This skill allows the user to sense the presence of an intelligent mind. ]
[Effects: 10 meters: Current maximum range.
+2% Location accuracy.
MP Cost: 15 MP/2 Meters.]
'Wow…' Daichi looked at the skill and was excited. 'Time to level this baby up.'
Daichi started using the skill as he went around and bought some items. He was testing the limitations and usage of the skill.
'So with this right now I can tell that someone is near me but not the exact location. But increasing the skill would increase the location accuracy. So that's taken care of. And another thing I'm noticing is that some people's mana are a bit stronger than the others.'
Daichi walked around and near a few chunin buying groceries. He noticed that the mana he was sensing from them were slightly stronger than the civilians. 'It must be because of their strong mental constitution.'
The last thing Daichi sensed was the amount of Mana energy they produced. 'It's only a fraction of mine. So all of them have Mana energy but since it's only a small amount and therefore not usable it's probably why their mana points don't show up on my observation info… At least that's my theory.'
There was one more jutsu Daichi had in mind to test. It was also a Mana skill. He recalled the details of the skill.
[Mana puppetry - Active (LV. 01): This skill allows the user to control various animals and humans with mental commands. Mana is used to implant suggestions or orders into the target's mind and the user can control them as they see fit. Since this skill is Mana based, Chakra defenses and seals will be useless against it. ]
[Note: At the current level you can only implant a suggestion into human targets and your mental strength is not strong enough to control them. With training and at higher levels this limitation can be removed.]
[Effects: Can implant suggestions into a target's mind.
MP cost: 800/ Target]
'At the moment I only have a little over 4000 MP. And the skill costs 800 MP. It says per target and not per command or suggestions. Does that mean a certain target will only need 800 MP to implant suggestions…? Or is there some sort of time limit?'
Daichi walked to a nearby fruit seller. He wanted to test the range and limitations of this skill as well. He picked a young man as his first test subject.
The man was buying some apples from the fruit vendor. Daichi concentrated on his mana and tried to implant a certain suggestion.
'Don't buy the apples. Buy some oranges. It'll be good for you.'
The Mana Daichi used, connected with the young man. Daichi could feel that his suggestion was successfully implanted.
A new notification appeared.
[Target has accepted the suggestion.]
"Hey. On second thought, I don't want the apples. Can you wrap up the oranges for me? I'll buy the apples another time." Daichi heard the customer change his decision and he became ecstatic but he kept himself under control with a calm and cool face.
'Time to test the limits. If I give another suggestion to the same person will this skill cost me another 800 MP? I also need to test the range of this skill. And let's up the ante this time.'
Daichi walked a few feet away from the stall and concentrated on his mana. He then concentrated on the same person and gave another suggestion.
'Swipe an apple while he's not looking.'
Daichi wanted to know if the target would accept a suggestion that had some risks? It was why he gave the man such a task.
A notification popped up again.
[Target has accepted the suggestion.]
Daichi discreetly looked at the guy. He saw the man looking around trying to see if anyone was noticing him. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the man swiped the apple nearest to him and put it in his pocket.
Daichi was amazed at the implications. 'Wow. With enough level ups this could be one hell of an OP skill. And my Mana hasn't decreased. So does that mean I don't have to pay the mana cost when I implant suggestions on the same person? Or is there a time limit?... One more. And this is the big one.'
'Take the small knife in front of you and cut his hand. A small slash.' Daichi once again increased the danger of the suggestion and wanted to see the results.
Daichi decided long ago that while he wouldn't be a monster, he wouldn't be a saint either. This balance was his way to cope with this world and its dangers.
'It would be a small wound and would be healed in a few days. But let's see if he would do it?'
[Target has rejected the suggestion.]
Daichi saw the man looking at the knife and slightly shaking his head. He bought his items and quickly left the place.
Daichi was in thought as he saw the results. 'So if the danger is too high or the suggestion is too absurd then the target would come to a rational decision and reject my suggestion. But they will accept if the suggestions are within acceptable parameters of difficulty… Hmm… It's almost like I'm a little devil whispering in their ear…'
Daichi chuckled to himself at the thought. He continued walking around the village testing and leveling both of the mana skills. He spent his days training these skills mainly. Daichi decided he would start on the Rasengan at the start of the 3rd year.
The holidays passed with Daichi sometimes hanging out with Shikamaru, Naruto and the gang. But he focused on his training and soon March 28th his birthday came up. He kept it a secret from his classmates due to not wanting to be bothered with a party. Days passed and soon it was April 1st.
The 3rd year of Daichi's academy begins.
