The situation was becoming increasingly tense between Cloud and Ren, who were barely away from each other's necks.
"I see we're just in time..." - Ayane said as she let out a sigh seeing how her sensei and Ren were about to start fighting.
"I say let them kill each other" - Keiko snorted as she looked at the blond boy with annoyance as she remembered what he did to her boyfriend.
"A girl in love sure is spiteful to when they hurt the boy she likes..." - Makoto said in surprise as she gave the blond a discreet glance at him.
"Wow, I see they came" - said Kyōka as she watched the newcomers carefully.
"Context?" - Ayane asked as she pointed at the two dragons.
"I'm sure you know the reason" - replied Kyōka as she shook her head.
It was obvious that Ren was enraged by what had happened to Rino, though from what she could see, there was something m���s in the middle of all this.
Ayane frowned when she heard this because those two didn't seem to be fighting despite their turbulent auras.
"Clothes brain" - Cloud snorted.
"Smashed banana" - replied Ren as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Cement head" - replied Cloud.
"Ok, those two are weird" - said Kako as she shook her head as she watched the two kids continue to hurl insults at each other.
Ayane and Kyōka frowned even more as they noticed how Ren seemed to be having fun in their little childish fight.
"Strange..." - Makoto said as she narrowed her eyes - "Don't they feel that Gentōryū is acting too strange..."
"Now that you mention it... she's talking while looking Cloud Strife straight in the eyes..." - Kako replied while tilting her head in confusion because that shouldn't be possible, not with the panic Ren has against men.
"!" - Kyōka's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this because it was obvious that Ren seemed to have adapted to Cloud somehow despite them being so different - ". . ."
"Kyōka-san?" - Ayane asked as she noticed the change in her friend and rival's expression for Nangokuren's dominance.
"It's nothing" - denied Kyōka as she shook her beautiful blue hair - "Things are getting more and more complicated..."
She wouldn't deny it, she was finding it annoying that more and more girls were becoming interested in the boy she liked but at the same time it was increasing her desire for victory. Kyōka would never let anyone overtake her, that's why noticing the slight change in Ren, she decided that she would destroy her with all her might and without mercy.
"I feel like I'm losing a bit of the context of what's going on" - Ayane said as she frowned noticing how Kyōka's aura seemed to have grown.
"I'll tell you later..." - Kyōka said as she walked over to where Cloud and Ren were arguing.
"Tin hair!" - Cloud exclaimed.
"Goldilocks!" - Ren exclaimed but her expression changed when she noticed her approaching - "Huh? What are you doing here, Kyōka?"
". . ." - Kyōka didn't answer her she just continued to move forward while keeping her gaze on the blonde boy.
"?" - Cloud cocked his head in confusion because now that he had seen Kyōka walking in his direction, he discovered how childish he was being but something inside him told him that he didn't have to lose against Ren even in something as stupid as a stupid argument with no arguments - "What's wrong, Kyōka?"
"I came to remind you of something, Cloud" - Kyōka said as a feral grin appeared on her face.
"What is it you want to remind me of?" - Cloud asked, only to see her grab him by the tie and give him a wild kiss.
"!" - Ren quickly averted her gaze as her cheeks painted a pretty pink color at her kouhai's boldness, though inside she was a little annoyed by the situation because she had been enjoying their little childish argument because it reminded her of the time Rino was still someone happy, and not the cold and calculating girl.
". . ." - Ayane frowned as Makoto's brow twitched slightly though they quickly calmed down.
"Remember, I claimed you as mine" - Kyōka smiled as she licked her lips and kissed the boy again.
"I think you don't understand something, Kyōka" - said Cloud as his aura became domineering and cold - "I'm not dominated by anyone... I only take advice or suggestions..."
It was impossible for anyone to claim him because Dragon's pride was deep inside his Bloodline, even Tyrant refused to lower his head despite being encased in his armor.
"That's what makes combat exciting.... don't you think?" - Kyōka asked as she approached the point where her body was pressed against the blond boy's.
"Enough!" - Ren exclaimed as she looked red-faced at the situation - "Have some shame, Kyōka."
"You shouldn't be this upset, Ren senpai" - Kyōka said while frowning - "I'm just trying to conquer my target... this has nothing to do with you or Ayane."
". . ." - Ayane's eyebrow contorted slightly.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me!!! This has a lot to do with me!!!" - Ayane exclaimed in her thoughts.
She didn't want to reveal her feelings for now as she felt that she wasn't yet at the level to be able to stand by the boy's side, her pride as a dragon was too great to accept such a situation.
"I didn't know Kyōka was this daring" - Honori muttered as Misa covered her face with her hands so as not to see what her leader was doing, though it didn't help that Chiyoko was recounting everything that was happening in great detail in her ear - "Chiyoko-san!"
"Hahaha, sorry, Misa-chan!" - Chiyoko smiled as she stroked her little classmate's hair - "It's just that it's funny to see your face red as a tomato!"
"Mou!" - Misa could only puff out her cheeks in annoyance as she gave an irritated look to her friend who seemed to only enjoy her prank even more.
Kako for her part, only shook her head as her cheeks turned slightly pink at her leader's actions because it reminded them of the racy scene she had read from her Shoujo manga.
What, a girl who's outwardly tough can't have a nice hobby?
"D-Shameful! T-This is too shameless!" - Ren exclaimed with a red face while looking annoyedly at Kyōka - "Can't you do that some other time! We were about to fight now!"
"Then why don't you just fight instead of bickering around like 5 year olds?" - Kyōka asked while raising an eyebrow.
"W-We were about to!" - Ren exclaimed as she shook her head.
"Can you guys stop arguing outside the infirmary!" - Shizuka shouted as she walked out of the room and looked around - "What part of the guys needing to rest, doesn't go through their hard skulls!"
". . ." - those present just kept silent because they never thought of seeing an angry Shizuka, though they couldn't blame her either, not when she was working to help some patients.
"Okay, we're sorry about that" - Cloud said.
"Wait, I didn't do anything" - said Honori while frowning.
"Honori... you're the loudest girl in Nangokuren" - replied Chiyoko while looking at her friend - "Every time you talk, you make them screaming... even your whispers seemed to have the ability to amplify, making you the worst at keeping secrets..."
"Is that true?" - Honori asked as she looked at her friends, only to see them nod weakly.
"Oh... that explains why my cheerleading club mates never tell me Nangokuren's gossip..." - Honori muttered as she smiled sadly.
"Uh... now I feel bad for saying that..." - Chiyoko sighed as she looked at her depressed friend.
"I think it's better that I know now, than later" - Kako replied normally - "After all, you know what the others are like..."
"Right... those ones can't press their lips" - nodded Chiyoko as she walked to Honori to cheer her up a bit.
"I hope it won't happen again" - said Shizuka as she looked around, especially at Cloud who had been misbehaving - "Cloud... no poof poof for a good while because of how badly you've been behaving..."
"Oh, come on" - Cloud exclaimed in annoyance when he heard that.
"Poof poof?" - Kyōka asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sorry but that's secret" - replied Shizuka as she blushed and walked into the room.
"What's poof poof?" - Kyōka asked as her gaze turned slightly wild.
"I'm sorry but that's a personal thing between Shizuka and I" - Cloud replied as he refused to answer then looked at Ren - "I guess it's time for us to fight for real".
"Hmm" - Ren nodded at the blond boy's words as she looked annoyingly at Kyōka one last time - "Fine, let's go."
"Okay" - nodded Cloud as he separated from the blue-haired, golden-eyed girl - "I guess you guys came to watch the battle?"
"Yes" - nodded Ayane as she walked over to Cloud - "I hope you don't mind, sensei."
". . ." - Cloud gave Ayane a slightly uncomfortable look because she always called him sensei but he had hardly taught her anything.
"Sensei?" - Ayane asked as she tilted her head in confusion as she noticed the change in her teacher's look.
"It's nothing" - Cloud denied - "Let's go to the courtyard to get this over with."
