A week has passed.
Koneko accepted Yoruichi's invitation to practice her hand-to-hand combat. She came four times this week and Kisuke accompanied her every time.
Each session lasts for about four hours and Koneko didn't need any body and stamina training due to her Rook piece, so Kisuke focused on her technique training.
Kisuke taught her different stances and the usage of light and heavy forces. He also taught her how to refine her demonic power to use it for attacks and active defense as her Rook piece automatically uses it to strengthen her body.
Kisuke can see real improvements in her skills every session as she is very talented in this regard and takes her training very seriously. It is to the point that Kisuke can't play around much anymore on their sparring matches if he wants to keep the force he is using.
Koneko however, is very frustrated as she can still see her senpai very nonchalant at everything. She's doing everything she could so just she could kick Kisuke's face just even just once. She thought that she is not improving at all.
But she still trying her best to learn everything her senpai taught her despite not seeing improvement from her perspective. And this is what both Kisuke and Yoruichi were happy to see, to persevere even not seeing much progress. That is also why Kisuke and Yoruichi are very enthusiastic at their teaching.
Kisuke asked Koneko to keep their training a secret and use her former battle style when there is a fight which is like a brutal cat that smashes everything. It's a pretty easy thing to do for Koneko what her senpai asked as she didn't have to think much when fighting and just mow everything down, one of the reasons why Koneko can't see her progress.
Kisuke gave her a reason that he can't use everything he taught her in a real fight yet as she hasn't learned everything and might just hurt herself. In reality, Kisuke told her this as he didn't want to grab the attention on the Gremory peerage yet. In their eyes, Kisuke is just a big fan of Koneko.
--------------------
Kisuke is currently walking along the hallway while yawning. He hadn't had any proper sleep due to researching and decoding the data hidden on Koneko's hairclip. The fruits of his labor bore and he finished decoding everything.
The data inside is a bunch of experimental logs about creating an artificial Super Devil, which of course surprised Kisuke quite a bit as experiments like this are often inhuman. The main theory about creating a Super Devil isn't recorded but he can glean some aspects of it.
The experimental logs mainly record the development of the 'black nekoshou' and its reaction to various catalysts projected by the main theory. The 'black nekoshou's' magic improved by leaps and bounds but it had the price of deteriorating the body. The researchers then concluded that the 'black nekoshou' won't last until the experiments were done and planned the future track of experiments on the backup 'white nekoshou'.
But the logs abruptly stopped there. He didn't know how Koneko got hold of this data but he is sure that it is not a coincidence as Koneko gives so much importance to her hairclips. Kisuke, however, can't be sure what is its connection to her as the term 'nekoshou' didn't come up in any books inside Cleria's library. He isn't even sure if 'nekomata' and 'nekoshou' are related at all aside from the 'neko'
in both of its names.
Kisuke encrypted the data again and erased the traces of his access to it. He planned to return it to Koneko by the end of the day.
When he entered his classroom, he heard some students arguing.
"Kiryuu Aika! You don't know the charm of Momo Momozono!" A guy with a shaved head and wearing his school uniform with an unbuttoned blazer shouted, making all girls in the classroom except for one reel in disgust.
"Why should I understand the charm of an adult video actress? Are you asking me to understand the fetishes of you three?" Asked back the spectacled beauty which has gold-colored eyes and lightly messy brunette hair tied into braids on each side. Regrettably, this beauty is also a pervert.
""" Damn you Kiryuu Aika. """ The three guys opposite of her raised their voices.
These three guys were Matsuda, Motohama, and his childhood friend Issei. They are one of the few male students of the Kuoh Academy since this school just became coed just more than a year ago. They are also known as the three of The Four Heavenly Perverts. As for the last one of the four? It is Kisuke himself due to some of his conduct and numerous girls witnessing the trio sharing their porn to Kisuke for him to give it a review.
"You four sure are energetic early this morning~. *yawn*" Kisuke reached his seat and greeted the arguing students.
""" Kisuke! """ The trio acted as if they found their savior.
"Kisuke, help us enlighten her with Momo-sama's greatness." The one who spoke is Motohama. Motohama has the ability to calculate a female's body measurements just by looking, which earned him nicknames such as "Perverted Glasses" and "Three Sizes Scouter". It's stated that he has a special body where his power level plummets down when he takes his glasses off. Motohama is known to have better results than both Issei and Matsuda and appears to be the most level headed of the trio as he tries to keep his cool even when committing perverted acts.
'Why should I?!' Kisuke thought about this outrageous idea of educating a high school girl about a porn actress.
" Urahara Kisuke, the strongest of The Four Heavenly Perverts." The girl, Kiryuu Aika suddenly commented.
"Haha, you overestimate me." Kisuke scratched his cheek and replied to her.
"Overestimate? You have better photography skills than Matsuda, a more accurate 'Scouter' than Motohama, and more profound knowledge than Issei. You're too humble." Aika smiled at Kisuke's words while fixing her pink-framed glasses.
"Haha~. I'll get embarrassed if you praise me that much."
"""She isn't praising you! It means you're of a pervert than the three of us combined.""" The trio retorted at Kisuke's remark.
"Anyway, just 'defeat' her for us. We can't deal with her." Matsuda is still frustrated by their earlier argument.
"I don't know what happened, but you just want me to make her feel shame again, right?" Kisuke inquired at the trio and they all nodded their heads in response.
"Ugh... Just so you know, even if show me again a photo of me being chased around by a group of dogs or even a picture of me just in my underwear I won't get embarrassed." Aika flinched a bit but immediately regained her confidence.
Kisuke didn't say anything and stood up. He walked towards Aika with a serious expression. Aika wanted to back up a bit but she can't as there is a wall behind her.
Kisuke reached in front of Aika with just a distance of a foot between them, then he suddenly slammed his right hand to the side of her head hitting the wall behind her. He then lifted her chin with his left hand to match their gazes and flashed a predatorial smile before saying, "Then how about you and me have some fun later?"
Aika is dumbfounded, the three stooges are dumbfounded, everyone in the classroom is dumbfounded. Silence prevailed for a few seconds until Aika erupted. Her face heats up and blushes, she then proceeded to give Kisuke a headbutt to his nose.
Kisuke winced in pain and Aika escaped from his grasp. "Damn you Urahara Kisuke! I'll get back at you for this!" She runs out of the classroom while leaving her threats to Kisuke.
""" Wh-wh-what!!!? """ The three perverts exploded.
"Well you see, Kiryuu-chan might be a pervert and have a lot of knowledge regarding adult relationships, but she doesn't have any personal experiences on this. I assumed that she'll get embarrassed if someone actually confronts her as I did earlier. It's way more effective than I thought though. Ow-ow, that hurts." Kisuke explained while he nurses his nose.
""" It makes us madder if you can easily do an ikemen move like that! """ The trio wanted to punch Kisuke's face, but they refrained as he is quite ruthless when fighting back. They already saw it a few times.
"But seeing Kiryuu Aika getting embarrassed like that makes her very cute, considering you can only see her with a sneer and very eccentric behavior," Issei said while the two are still seething in anger.
Everyone in the classroom agreed with him though nobody voiced it out.
