In the High School of Fighting.
A certain classroom was bustling.
There was a large crowd outside the class while a dozen people surrounded a table.
''Ichiro, bad boy! Not coming to classes!'' Jordan shook his head out of disappointment.
Ichiro looked at him with a murderous gaze, ''You are courting death!''
Jordan and others narrowed their eyes.
''Did you take that from Cultivation novel?''
Ichiro sighed and rubbed his forehead, ''I have always wanted to say it.''
Ichiro decided to visit the school for a few weeks until he has to go back to the Underworld tournament.
His arrival, of course, caused massive chaos.
The school vibe has been quite depressed after the defeat in the Battle of Countries. Other Top Countries mocked them. Even after they have Abyss, they still lost.
But, morons can't understand that Abyss' arrival couldn't change anything, except if he trained everyone himself, but he is too busy for that.
The real impact of Abyss' arrival happens next year when new juniors come. Most of the Geniuses will join so that they have a chance to receive Abyss' advices.
''Look out! Ichiro's wife is coming!'' Jordan shouted towards the door, where a shy black-haired girl tried to go past the crowd.
After his words, everyone parted ways, which made Azura even more embarrassed.
''Tsk.'' Ichiro's used his leg to get Jordan off his feet.
''Ah!'' Jordan fell down on his butt, ''Oww, meanie!'' He pouted, trying to act pitiful, but everyone looked at him with a stinky eye.
''Shameless.''
''Tsk, tsk.''
Azura hid her face because of all the gazes. She walked next to Ichiro and hid her face in his torso.
Ichiro patted her head and asked from white-haired young man, ''How's Alice?''
''Tsk!'' Whole class clicked their tongues at the same time.
Michael proudly puffed his chest, ''Good! I visited her last weekend, and we had a lot of fun!''
Everyone rolled their eyes. Michael has been talking about Alice without stopping, and now everyone is pretty much evading him.
Even Giron, he doesn't even go to the Dormitory anymore, so he doesn't have to meet him!
''Ah right!'' Michael exclaimed and put his hands on Ichiro's desk, ''Alice's birthday is coming soon, what should I buy?''
''Why are you asking from me?'' Ichiro frowned, 'I have no idea what to buy!'
''Well, you have a girlfriend, so you should know what to buy, right?''
Azura raised her head and looked at Ichiro's pale face, ''That's right, hubby… You should know what to buy… Right?'' She narrowed her eyes.
Everyone except Azura and Michael took a step backward.
Ichiro paled even more. Michael looked at him with a hopeful gaze, while Azura looked at him with a dangerous gaze.
He has no escape!
''R-Right, of course, I know.'' Ichiro waved his hand like it was easy, ''You should buy…'' He glanced at Azura's face, which was completely concentrated.
''Necklace?'' He said with some uncertainty, but then he saw Azura's eyes sparkling.
''Necklace with the same color as her hair or eyes, it would fit.'' Ichiro gambled, and now it's time to see did it pay.
Azura's eyes sparkled while a sweet smile was painted on her face.
Michael nodded with approval, ''Thank you, sensei!'' He bowed and left the classroom.
Rest of the students went back to their classes, and soon, the teacher arrived.
…
The school day was over, and everyone had already left the school premises.
Azura and Ichiro entered the Mansion and went straight to the training room.
Azura did her ordinary body strengthening training while Ichiro was trying to master his swordsmanship.
His Steel Edge was much worse than with his hands. He wanted to improve it as much as possible.
They trained for close to 3 hours, Azura was the first one to be too exhausted to continue, but her body is becoming stronger with great speed.
Ichiro couldn't find a flaw in his swordsmanship, which means it is lacking compared to his hand-to-hand fighting style.
He put the swords down on the ground and sat on the chair. He took a gulp from a water bottle and wiped his sweat.
Azura sat next to him and put her head on her shoulder. She looked very exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open.
''Good work.'' Ichiro patted her head. He notices that Azura doesn't have some sudden impulse to train Martial Arts; instead, she has a will to get stronger no matter what.
''Mmm…'' Azura smiled and felt her exhaustion disappearing after receiving her daily dose of Ichironium.
''When are you leaving to Underworld?'' Azura asked with a sad look.
''In a few weeks, I guess,'' Ichiro replied.
''Will you be fine?'' She asked with worry.
Ichiro smirked, ''I will… But, I will also make them regret… I can't do anything to Arkenthym, but others… Easy.''
''Be careful.'' She whispered quietly.
''Of course.'' Ichiro smiled and kissed her head, ''Just like you said… Confidence… I only need to have confidence, and everything will be fine.''
''Ah, right!'' Azura took two papers from her pocket. It looked like they were ripped apart; she looked at the pictures with an enraged look.
Ichiro looked at the pictures and grimaced, ''Where did you get this?''
''Someone sent it, not sure who.''
The picture was Ichiro getting undressed by two beautiful women.
''I-I can explain.'' He said with a stutter, but then Azura's finger appeared on his lips.
''I know you didn't do anything.'' Azura said with a confident gaze, ''But, I have a request.''
''Hmm, what is it?''
Azura ripped the pictures into hundreds of pieces, ''Can you kill these two?''
''Uhh… Why?'' Ichiro gulped and saw Azura's dark look.
''They dared to see your naked figure…'' She clenched her fist and bit her lip, ''They must be fantasizing about the scene… Only I should be allowed to see you naked…''
She turned her head towards Ichiro and innocently smiled, ''So, kill them.''
Ichiro chuckled, ''You sound like Yandere right now.''
''Hehe…'' Azura awkwardly chuckled, ''Dummy, me Yandere? Hehe, I am just protective about my boyfriend… That's all…''
