A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.
Full Story Here.

He blocked it... Sensei actually stopped it. Not only that, but he cut it down the middle. I was absolutely shocked. Was there anything I could do that he wouldn't be able to combat? I doubted it. He was much better than I. He was far more skilled.
Then, he pulled his blade to the side and cut horizontally. His hand came down faster than I could trace. I closed my eyes, waiting for him to show me how little he cared. Then he stopped. I opened my eyes to see his fist only a few inches from my chest. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I was hurt, I was furious. He was openly mocking me now. I knew he was better. Why did he have to prove it like this?
He climbed off my and moved back, placing his katana back in its sheath. He took a new stance as I clambered to my feet. I didn't know what I was supposed to do, but he was really pissing me off. How was I supposed to fight him fairly if I couldn't even touch him?
His words... I hated to hear them. He was talking down to me. I knew he was trying to teach me a lesson, but Fury already had me in it's powerful clutches. All this did, was shove me into it's embrace. I didn't want anymore wisdom, i didn't want anymore 'I am better at this, listen to me' talks. I just wanted to do something. I didn't care that he was stronger. I didn't care that he was much more capable than i.
I let the small stick in my hands shift from the end of a pole into a pair of grass knuckles. [[see what i did there?]] Opening and closing my fingers around them, i ran at Kazzie. Big mistake, i knew. I pulled my right hand back and swung for a hit to the right ribs, my left hand followed up with a blow to the left side of his jaw. I knew neither would make contact, but i was angry and wasn't thinking. Here comes the next teachable moment, right?

The rage and fury that consumed Melanie evident in her eyes, Kazuya would remain nonplussed by it, instead maintaining a cool and calm head. Much like Aldritch, anger would not help Melanie in this training session, much less in a fight. But unlike Aldritch, Kazuya doubted words would get through to her. The only way to get through to her, was to let her get it out of her system. As she transformed the remaining half of the pole she held into a pair of grass knuckles and ran straight for him, he would form a fireball in his right hand and shove it at her right hand, the fireball making contact with the grass knuckles covering her right fist as it slammed into his open palm and hopefully burning it, his hand enclosing around her fist.
As she followed up with a blow to the left side of his jaw, instead of countering it, he would instead turn his head to the right, timing the turn with the punch, so her grass knuckles would end up scratching his cheek instead, leaving a long, deep cut along the length of his cheek. Staring down at Melanie from the bottom of his peripheral vision, the right half of his face hidden in shadows, his remaining visible eye would regard her calmly, almost as if he was scrutinizing her... before his right hand would release its hold on her right fist, as his arm would drop to his side. Blood starting to trail down his cheek from the cut, he would calmly fold his arms across his chest, as he would gaze down at her.
"... That's enough. If you want to get your rage out of your system, then feel free to take it out on me. But if you remember anything from today, remember that anger will only cloud your judgement, Melanie. It will hinder more than help you in a fight."

My body shook with anger as he stopped my right fist and engulfed it in fire. As his skin touched mine, my anger would begin to melt away. My left hand followed through to a hit to his face. I didn't expect for him to turn his head. My anger vanished completely as i saw my fist had cut his cheek. That wasn't what i had wanted to do... Was it?
My eyes widened as he dropped my hand and crossed his arms over his chest, inviting me to hit him if i wished. My anger spent, i sat down on the ground where i stood. Why was i so angry before? He was trying to teach me a lesson. I, like a child, was deaf to hear it and instead threw a tantrum. What the hell?
I looked up at him, the blood trailing down his cheek made me sick. I had hurt him again. I looked back down at my hands, afraid i would actually be sick. If i were to throw up, i didn't want to hit him.
"I'm sorry. I acted like a child. I was so angry that you were better than I. I know you know more, but that didn't help much. I..." I looked up at him again, tears evident in my eyes. "I'm sorry, Kazuya. Don't waste more of your time training me, I apparently can't learn."

"... There will always be someone better than you. Just as there will always be someone better than me. But it is because there are others who are stronger than me, that I seek worthy opponents to fight in order to find flaws in my skills to further attain mastery. There is no shame in becoming frustrated fighting against an opponent who is stronger, but the real challenge is not defeating them, but not letting your frustration take over."
Stepping towards Melanie, seeing the tears in her eyes as she looked up at him, he would slowly bend down into a crouching position in front of her, after she had looked up at him, only to look back down at her hands. Reaching out, he would gently pull her into his embrace, as he would wrap his arms around her. Though he did not know the frustration of fighting against an opponent who clearly outmatched him in every way, in his previous high school he transferred from, a good friend and ally of his, Trizen Takano, had considered him a rival, not only in terms of strength, but also for Emily's affections. The frustrations he and Melanie felt were probably similar, in a way.
"You're not a waste. You can learn, it will just take time. Learning to combat and defend against an element stronger against your own is not something that can be accomplished in a day. It will take time... but that is why I am here, to teach you. We'll stop here today, and start again another day, alright?"

I let myself be pulled into his arms. My tears slowly falling down my cheeks. I hated that he needed to be gentle with me. I hated that i couldn't fight. I hated that i couldn't do anything. I hated it.
"I'm going to get someone killed. How am I supposed to fight the Apostles if I can barely match you?"
I relaxed a bit in his arms. What was i supposed to do? Kazuya had made her to believe the Apostles were very strong and that he would fight hard for everything. BUT, if that were true, how could I fight? He was stronger than me, but the Apostles were stronger than him. There was absolutely nothing i could do. A feeling of utter helplessness befell be and i began crying.
"I can't do anything. I am helpless. An utter fool to try and fight them."

"You are not helpless, or an utter fool. You are stronger than you think. There is a reason why it is called training. You are still learning, still developing your skills and abilities. No one is perfect. It is because the Apostles are strong... that I want you to get stronger."
Reaching up with one hand and brushing her tears away, a kind look on his face, it was because she had potential, that he wanted to do everything in his power, to help her get stronger. Not just for himself... but for her as well. He wanted her to be able to hold her own against him. When she surpassed him, then he knew he had done his job right as her Sensei. His arms wrapped around her, to comfort her, he would eventually release his hold on her, before placing both his hands on her shoulders.
"... Melanie."
If she looked up at him, he would stare down at her, before pulling her into a kiss, his arms wrapping around her once more. Cue Suteki da Ne here. He believed in her skills and abilities. He believed she could do anything. But most of all, he believed in her. Even if she didn't believe in herself. He would stand by her and encourage her, even when she lost all hope, because he would never give up on her.

His words echoed around my, filling my ears. He wanted to help me, but i was so far beyond help. I was so far from actually fighting. It may have been easier if I just gave up. I would get someone really hurt or worse killed. I looked up at him as he brushed away my tears. His arms wrapped around me for a brief moment. Then, softly spoke my name before pulling me into a kiss.
I sunk into his embrace. I wanted to fight. I wanted to make him proud, but I didn't know if I could. There was so much to learn and such little time. The Apostles were going to strike, and when they did I wanted to be able to fight. I didn't believe in myself, but if Kazuya did, I would try my best.
I'm sorry, I'll do better. Please don't give up. Your strength is all I have.

Pulling away a little while after, keeping his arms wrapped Melanie as Kazuya stared deeply into her eyes, a slightly somber but serene look in his eyes as his own searched hers, he knew she would become more than capable of holding her own against him. It was because he believed so strongly in her skills and abilities, that he would never give up on her. Even when she had lost all hope and the situation appeared grim, he would continue to fight on for and protect her.
A slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, he would slowly straighten up, pulling her to her feet as he did so. Once she was on her feet, he would continue to hold her until she had regained her balance, at which point, he would release his hold on her and pull his arms away, letting them hang loosely by his sides.
"Come, let us go inside. We'll stop the training session here, and start back up another day. ... I meant what I said Melanie, you are stronger than you think. Don't doubt your own skills or capabilities. You have much room to grow, that is why I believe in you."
His arms casually folded across his chest by this time, he would give her a reassuring smile, before unfolding one arm and holding his hand out to her to take.

I looked up into Kazzie's eyes as his searched mine. I hated when we broke kisses. But he was hurt and I was burned. Again. I sighed. I had to get over hurting people. I had to deal with it. If I was to fight, then I needed to square with the fact that people would be hurt. What would happen if I went to fight Leon and ended up getting like this seeing him hurt? Would I be able to keep fighting?
He pulled me into a standing position before dropping his hands one i was standing. He spoke of me getting stronger, of my being able to fight with more training. I grimaced and took his hand, looking at it I began speaking.
"It's because of how much room I have to grow that makes me worry. I won't have time before I'll need to hold my own against the Apostles. I can't. I can barely fight now. How I ever thought I'd be able to fight Leon is far beyond me."

Seeing Melanie grimace as she took his hand, Kazuya would give her hand a comforting squeeze, a slight reassuring smile on his face. It was true that time was of the essence. They had only so much time before the Apostles struck, and they would strike. If he had to train Melanie intensively in compact periods of time, teaching her as much as possible in each session, then he would. He had promised her he would do everything in his power to help her, and he always kept his promises.
"... Enough. You can fight, Melanie. Listen to me."
Letting go of her hand, he would lift both hands up, before gently holding his hands against her cheeks. Leaning his face in towards hers, he would stare straight at her, almost as if he was scrutinizing her. His brows furrowed slightly, it was not in annoyance, but in concern for her.
"You are my student. And as my student, I will teach and train you. We will go through rigorous and intensive training, in quick but compact sessions. You will be pitted against some of my most powerful fire abilities, you will be exhausted, both mentally and physically, but you will learn everything you need to know, to fight against Leon. It'll hurt me but... I won't care how tired you'll get. You will push through, and get through the training... understood?"
Lifting his hands off her cheeks, he would then talk hold of her hand once more, before leading the way to his home, so they could take clean up and tend to their injuries. The training would be grueling, it would be difficult, but he knew she could tough it out and get through it, because she was not only his student... but his girlfriend. She was no weakling, that much was certain. And once he was done with training her... she would be more than ready and capable of facing off against Leon Sudeki, the leader of the Lightning Gang.

I sighed as he told me to stop, almost as if a father were speaking to his child. 'Don't give up. You can do it' I looked up into his eyes as he lifted his hands to either side of my face. He was staring right at me, almost like he was looking into my soul. My eyes flicked down then back up at him. I started to smile but then it quickly turned into a frown. I didn't like hurting him. I tried to not let it bother me, i really did. He let go of my face and I nodded.
"Yes, Sensei. I understand."
I let him take my hand and lead me inside. I hoped Zhen was prepared. Next time, I'd be better. Next time, Kazuya might need more than a few finger bandages and one large one for his face. As long as Kazzie was teaching me, I would strive to learn. I would be the best. I would excell and I would eventually win.
I will make you proud. You just wait.
