After Kazuma, Mio and Yuji had barged in with their golden tickets, Ranpo clapped for them "Wow, you kids really got the tickets. Cool", Fugaku added "Well, each of them are skilled individually, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that they got some tickets.", Kojin on the other hand clicked his tounge "I should burn you little dick-heads for barging in like this.", he muttered. Fugaku hit him on the back with his staff, Kojin groaned in pain "UUUUH!!", Mio looked at Kojin and asked "Are you okay, Mister Takahama?", Kojin had to form a smile "I've never felt better a day in my life.". Kazuma and Yuji turned to Ranpo with their golden tickets "It was hard combating with those assassins, but eventually we got through.", Kazuma explained with a confident smirk on his face, Yuji added "My opponent was rather teasing. Although he seems to be a cool guy who likes improvements in others and himself.". Kazuma had a teasing smirk on his face as he pointed at Yuji "You should have seen Yuji fighting for his life. He was just throwing slashes and blades around like rain! Bro couldn't land a single hit at all.", Yuji got annoyed and looked at Kazuma with annoyance while pointing a dagger at him "Shut your mouth before I rip it off myself. Mister *IM THE MOST SKILLED AND EXCEPTIONAL GUY ON THE LIST*", Kazuma turned back with a teasing smirk "Wow, I didn't say I was exceptional, you're the one who just gave me that nick name. I'm just a humble kid who has talent and trains with it!", Yuji got more annoyed "Why you...", Ranpo grabbed the annoyed Yuji by the head and told Kazuma "Your cocky side is starting to show off again, Kazuma.", Kazuma replied while waving his hand "Yeah, Yeah, I'm sorry.". Mio couldn't help but to look at them with dissapointment "Ah, boys. Why couldn't i be paired with girls like myself.", Kojin thought to himself "Some how, I feel her pain.". Kazuma, Mio and Yuji were preparing to leave, Kazuma waved "Ranpo sensei, I'll see you later. Right now I want to go train at the boarding house.", Ranpo waved back "Yeah, you go train!". The trio left the room with Mio waving "Bye sensei, bye lord Fugaku.", Fugaku and Ranpo waved back with smiles. Kojin couldn't help but to feel ignored, Ranpo looked at him with a wierd smile "Once again, you were ignored!", Kojin replied with slight annoyance "Shut the fuck up.", Fugaku wacked his head with a staff "Language kiddo!", Kojin replied with slight annoyance "Yes sir.". Meanwhile, as the trio were walking on the calm but yet lively streets of the city of Kagahara, Yuji asked "So what do you guys wanna do?", Kazuma replied "Well, I'm just going to stroll for a little longer before going to train. We never know when a mission can pop up.". Mio replied "Yeah, me too. I'll hang out with Kazuma before training at home.", Yuji had a suspicious look on his face "I know you two like each other. You can hide it from anyone else, but not me.", Kazuma and Mio got tensed as even their hands were held together. Kazuma and Mio turned back with nervous smiles "Y-y-eah.". Yuji just sighed while scratching his head "Just don't let it get in the way of our training. Okay?", Mio replied "Right, it won't get in the way.",Kazuma added "Offcourse it won't, we'll make sure of that.". The trio did a fist bump, Yuji then explained to them "I'm going to my grandpa's place, I'll see you in the boarding house Kazuma.", Yuji jumped away. Kazuma and Mio watched their friend leap from building to building, Kazuma turned to Mio "Should we go now?", Mio replied with a smile "Sure, let's go.". As Yuji leapt on buildings, he couldn't help but to tilt his eyes to the ground while looking at his friends walking off "Well I can't say I'm not happy for you both, even I have someone I like among us. Anyone who tries to ruin our friendship is an enemy.". Few moments later, Yuji was at his grandfather's house, he entered the house "Hey grandpa Nagumo. You in?", Nagumo Takanoguro(An Oldman with a blue beared and slightly rough blue hair walked out of his room). The old mam replied "Ah, Yuji. You're back?", Yuji replied "Offcourse I'm back, otherwise I wouldn't be right in front if you.", Nagumo turned his face away from his grandson "You know, you have to fix your edgy attitude.", Yuji replied with slight annoyance "Don't mess with me this morning grandpa.". Later that morning, Yuji was cleaning up the house, he swept the floors and vaccumed the place, he cleaned the television and the tables. While he was preparing some breakfast for himself, Nagumo asked "Didn't you eat in the boarding house?", Yuji replied "Yeah, I did. But unfortunately I wasn't satisfied. They didn't give myself nor Kazuma enough breakfast coz they said we needed to have small strength to fight, but not too much food to way us down. Whatever that means.". Nagumo sat on the couch "You should really pay attention, Yuji.". Yuji sighed "Whatever. Right now, I want to take a break for the next couple of hours before training today.", Nagumo told his grandson "Skip training for today.", Yuji looked at his grandfather with slight irritation "No.". Nagumo explained to Yuji as Yuji walked with his breakfast on his plate all the way to the near living room "Yuji, having to train yourself and become stronger is good, but if you over do it, it's bad. If not for the fact that you have a few friends to play with you and jump around like kids along with you, you'd be no different from an emotionless killer.". Yuji paused his meal with a slight look of irritation on his face "What does that mean?", Nagumo replied "Do you know the thing that keeps a decent amount of our society from turning into cold hearted killers who only follow orders? Its the fact that we have people we can call allies or atleast trust. I know you've seen alot of hardships in your upbringing, and that's my fault. But please, you need to hold on to people who care about you. Understood?". Yuji had a slight look of annoyance on his face before taking another bite from his bread filled with scrambbled eggs "Whatever.". He continued to eat his meal while watching TV.
