Fourth "This wound really hurts. I should probably get this tended to. Though is there really a point in this."
Fourth followed behind the rest of them at a slow pace. "I don't think there is. I at least thought that one person would care."
Hoseki "You back there! Come here this instance."
Fourth "And what happens if I don't?"
Hoseki "I'll add another injury to your other shoulder. Now how does that sound?"
Fourth shrugged his shoulders with what little movement he could and gave an aloof reply to Hoseki. "That's okay."
Hoseki "Are you trying to test me? I'd think twice before you answer me."
Fourth "The thing is you can injury me as much as you choose to. But you can't kill me unless you don't care about my ability anymore. " "I've already accepted my fate." He thinks to himself.
Hoseki "I've had enough of this. Who do you think you are telling me what I can and can't do!"
Fourth "I'm not telling you anything. You're just taking my own words and using them against yourself. What I say and you do are two completely different things."
Hoseki "That enough out of your mouth! I'll come over there and shut it for you!"
Fourth "If you must. Then be my guest. I won't run anymore."
Hoseki rushes towards Fourth, pushing his way past Sun.
Sun "Calm down, he's just getting you worked up again." As he's about to move past Asuta, Sun grabs hold of Hosekis arm. "There's no need for this, you always get worked up and it ends up like shit every time."
Hoseki "I am calm! Now let go of me. I've had it with the whole lot of you. I know what to do! I'm the one in charge and he needs to be aware of that!"
He again moves his way up closer to Forth, this time he's about to reach Asuta. The moment Hoseki reaches Asuta's sight something happens.
Hoseki "What?! Get off of me right now! Stop it I say! "
Asuta stumbles forward gripping onto Hoseki's clothing as she tries to catch herself from falling, behind her is Fourth looking upon in shock.
Asuta"I am truly sorry!" She instantly releases her hands from his clothing and begins to move her hand over his shirt fixing the imperfection she had made. "Please allow me to fix this" She anxiously rubs his clothing, avoiding eye contact with him.
Hoseki "Stop."
Asuta "I'll fix it for you!"
Fourth "What is she doing right now? Her behavior is different from before." He mumbles to himself.
Hoseki "Didn't I tell you to stop."
Sun "Asuta you should stop."
Asuta' "I should fix this."
Hoseki yanks Asuta's hand away from him and begins to twist her arm along with her hand above her head. "Didn't I tell you to stop." As he glares at her with spite. Asuta looks up at Hoseki with panic in her eyes. She begins to stutter her words "I...I. I'm sorry!" Being quick to bow her head as she speaks, trembling from the pain. Just as Fourth was about to step in Sun makes a comment.
Sun "Hoseki. I believe you had your fun."
Hoseki doesn't take his eyes off of Asuta still tightly holding on to her wrist as he yanks her closer to him
Hoseki "Don't make a fool out of me or you'll be sure to regret it." He whispers into her ear, finally pushing her away from him.
Hoseki "Now to deal with you." He walks up to Fourth. They both continue to stare at one another, not breaking eye contact. "I need to teach you another lesson. Crystal magic: Obsidian arrow." Just the same as before Hoseki's arrow made purely out of crystal strikes Fourth in his left leg. He collapses to the ground securely holding the arrow that is sticking out of his leg. Hoseki comes to Fourth, yanks the arrow straight out of his leg. "Were you trying to remove this carefully?" He holds the arrow in front of Fourths face, as the blood slowly drips down his arm. "Look what you've done. Now there's blood on me" He then tosses the arrow at Fourth face, before he could catch it, it crashes onto the floor breaking into tiny pieces. At that moment Hoseki walks away from Hoseki "Know your place."
Fourth "Even his magic can break. How peculiar."
Fourth "Oh, I forgot to mention something important."
All three of them look at one another in confusion. Thinking to themselves "I wonder what it could be?"
Fourth "I wasn't going to mention this before but I feel like it the right time to do so." He said to himself.
Hoseki turns to face Fourth.
Hoseki "You decided to wait this entire time to tell me that you had important information being withheld."
Fourth "Yeah, it didn't feel necessary to discuss it, until now."
Hoseki "Just tell me what it is."
Fourth "Every time you injure me physically with your magic. My magic becomes less and less."
Sun "You're not telling me? It is isn't it."
Fourth "It's true. Do you really think I would have it in me to lie at such a crucial point for me? "
Asuta "Fourth?"
Fourth pushes himself up off of the ground still holding onto his freshly made wound from moments ago. "Yes?"
Asuta "I... um, here let me help you."
Fourth "Shouldn't you be keeping your distance from me." He whispers
Hoseki "Both of you stop! Now, What is it?! About your ability."
Fourth "I've mastered my abilities to the full extent. Which means I know how to perform Kaihō suru spell. "
