welcome back

Good to be back and wow that sure is a 20 on the first roll back huh? Writing.

Ryuko approaches you and you grasp the scissor blade in your gauntlet without transforming.

You can feel the impact ripple out across the stadium everyone watching in awe.

"Ryuko, I'm asking you now, please stop this." you ask

"Why should I?!" she clashes against you

You slash her, meeting her blade with your own talons. She can't seem to get a clean hit, even without you transforming.

"I'm not going myself be betrayed!" she says trying her hardest to land an attack on you.

Mako looks on from behind, face forming into worry.

"I'm not trying to betray you Ryuko just listen!" you plead

She pushes off of you and attempts to approach again.

"I don't want to hear it!"

>>5532283
> Stay untransformed and keep defending
Maintain distance, make her jump after us. We have air advantage. Using the gauntlet to trip her up on her landing would be a good trick to pull.

>>5532283
>"I'm not going myself be betrayed!" she says trying her hardest to land an attack on you.
What?
>Stay untransformed and keep defending
No escalating if we can. Welcomeback OP

>>5531944
Niiiiice

>>5532283
>Stay untransformed and keep defending
>>"This is just my first contingency!" Anon Meipan, probably.

>>5532283
> Stay untransformed and keep defending

>>5532339
>What?
Ryuko has joined this school, made two singular friends, including Anon, someone who Anon is already friends with has betrayed her in the past and Anon is fighting her now on behalf of the people who have been sending people to attack her. It's a reasonable thing to feel

Will write soon, out and about at the moment.

>>5532457
I think it's more that you might’ve missed a few words in that sentence boss.

>>5532457
Not the question, the sentence was simply nonsense and it was unclear what was said.

>>5532463
Do your thing OP

>>5532283
Ryuko is transformed right now yes?
if so the dammn we are must look menacing for the spectators.

Also wanted to write a response but it seems you are already writing the update QM.

>>5532616
>>5532604
Okay I missed words it seems like, that's genuinely my bad. I thought I was getting better about but I think I genuinely may have brain problem cause that's a big issue with me.

Also writing.

>>5532619
Will do

Nice, okay writing.

You groan in annoyance and proceed to block further attacks Ryuko makes on your person. You try to speak to her but nothing is getting through at this point, her main goal is simply to defeat you.

"Anon this isn't going to plan!" Suigetsu says

"In all honesty this wasn't really a plan. I was just really hoping Ryuko would listen." you respond

"Seriously?!" Suigetsu asks flabbergasted

"I'm not a master tactician here Sui!"

You dodge a swing of the scissor blade, parrying it with your hand.

"Then we have to fight her at this point!" she worries "I don't think some simple defense is gonna work out!"

You grimace. Ryuko hasn't ever seen your Kamui active yet, you don't think she's realized you're even wearing one.
> Keep defending?
> Attack but don't transform
> Transform and attack.

>>5532929

Honestly I don't see us transforming at all unless it's necessary to save Suigetsu.

I forgot, how much of our shananigans would appear in the anime?

Rolled 17 (1d20)

>>5533664
rolling too

>>5533689
depending on how much the audience sees, and how they are depicted, they might see us as the bad guy or a protag wannabe
this is Ryuko's story; she's on the quest to find her dad's killer - what are we compared to her drive and motivation?

>>5533691
The Sasuke?

The Kisuke Urahara who works behind the scenes?

>>5533696
Closer to Shino in that we're mostly in the back and secretly disgustingly strong.

>>5533704
I wonder if the audience knows of Anon's JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP episodes where he's internally screaming over all the subterfuge and deceit and multiple fronts he's trying to manage while not losing his friends, stressing over this or that happening

>>5533706
I can see how the anime would frame Anon as the guy pulling the strings and playing both sides like his is some nefarious third-party, with stuff like how he managed to copy the scissor blade thrown in to allude to a connection to Ryuko's dad, only for the Anon-POV episode to come. I imagine it would be something like, every contingency has been used on Mom-of-the-Year and now Anon is captured by Nudist Beach as he escaped and the episode is flashbacks from his POV and his commentary on how his shit has been utterly fucked.

I was gonna wait for three rolls but man fuck it. 20 it is. Writing.

>>5533669
get fucked idiot, I haven't even activate my kamui yet.

Alright, you can't let this keep going.

You approach Ryuko talons bared, not transforming your Kamui. You meet her sword with your talons, deciding to go on the offensive. You lightly push her out of the way repelling her life fibers with your gauntlet.

"Hold still damnit!" she shouts

You ignore her and give her a solid punch to her exposed abdomen. She reels slightly, you follow that up with an uppercut to the chin and then kick her away from you.

She spits, eyes peering at you angrily. "So this is how it's gonna be huh?"

You grimace

"Fine then."

Ryuko tries to approach but you're prepared for this at this point, you grab her arm at the approach and flip her slamming her into the ground.

The crowd surrounding you cheers in applause.

"Excellent work Anon! You truly are the superior combatant!" Suigetsu compliments

You frown, Ryuko getting up taking wide swipes at you with her scissor blade again, you dodge them easily before grabbing her arm and tossing her a few feet behind you, she tumbles across the arena floor with a grunt before skidding to a stop.

The crowd around you cheers.

All this power and cool outfits and crazy shit is nice. Fighting in an arena against equally strong and cool people, as crowds of people his age cheer both of them on... this shit isn't that bad if there's no lives on the line. I think Anon likes all that, somewhat, as an unkempt loner with a desire for cool style.

However, this particular situation wherein all this cool stuff Anon would normally like is going on, is NOT GOOD. The opponent is his friend going through betrayal pain, the crowd are all on the side of the school and the status quo, and both Anon and his opponent are forced into doing this. The entire event going on here is very bitter and disgusting to Anon, souring the experience and any good bits there might be.

>>5533775
> This fucking sucks.
>Ryuko this is difficult for me , please understand that things are a lot more complicated than they seem and I cant afford to make any mistakes. I dont know what drives you to fight against the elite four but if my words have still any worth for you, know this: they are Not the true enemy. There is something bigger than you me and this whole academy in the shadows. So please stop. I KNOW you are smarter than to run headfirst at every obstacle you see.

whew I hope this will atleast make a good exposition for our fight and make her think a little

>>5533797
Support

So I'm getting > this fucking sucks.

But what action do you guys wanna take here. I'm not seeing like a concrete action.

>>5533945
Like, maybe just lose effort in beating her and surrender?

Since Satsuki wanted us to fight her, not win.

And this isn't worth hurting a friend.

>>5533945
I want to do
>'Can I go now Satsuki-sama? I have better things to do with my time.'

>>5533744
There's no point in rolling when you already get a 20, the only thing you would be doing is getting lower rolls and at worst get a 1 and fuck it up.
>>5533775
>This fucking sucks.

>>5533945
>>5533962
Pretty much this. Just ask Satsuki if we can just go. She knows some of the tricks we have and we didn't need to employ any of them for this. If anyone knows how much of a blowout this is, it's her.

>>5533962
+1

You sigh deeply. This entire thing fucking sucks actually. You didn't want to do this, especially not against Ryuko. You turn to Satsuki.

You still do need to keep up kayfabe however so. "Can I go now Satsuki-sama? I have better things to do with my time."

"What?!" Ryuko shouts from behind, yeah you figured she wouldn't like that

Mako looks at Ryuko and you with a worried expression, Maiko hasn't even really cheered for you despite coming dressed for it.

"Are you forfeiting?" Satsuki asks

You don't respond

"Hmmm, your opponent is still standing, you very clearly had an advantage, yet you're opting to forfeit." Satsuki muses

You cross your arms while glaring at her.

"Should you choose to proceed with this plan of action, I think you know what comes next." Satsuki glares right back at you

"You'll remove me from the Elite Five right?" you ask

Satsuki simply looks at you but doesn't respond.

God damnit.

"Anon?" Suigetsu questions

> Keep fighting
> Forfeit
> ...Challenge Satsuki herself

>>5534706
> Keep fighting
Grit teeth and keep attacking

>>5534706
>Keep fighting
Forfeiting means loosing our means of one-upping Revocs.
Challenging Satsuki means blowing our load earlier by revealing Suigetsu.
Continuing the fight is the best option in the long run. Also, let's not make Anon a shounen protag high on hope or something, the Satsuki fight is Ryuko's, we have bigger fish to catch.

>>5534706
> Keep fighting

>>5534741
>let's not make Anon a shounen protag high on hope or something
I agree

>Forfeit

I feel if this is a test, but I can't bring myself to hurt a friend.

>>5534706
>Forfeit
We still have our club and being back off the radar would be nice. Satsuki won't come for our neck as long as we can continue to be useful in our role.

>>5534706
> Forfeit

Distancing ourselves from everyone that's what good agent would do. Works for Ryuko and Satsuki

>>5534706
>keep fighting.

>>5534706
> Forfeit
Nah, there is no point here. Already did better than the Elite Four without dressing up.

This tie will never end...

>>5534706
>keep fighting

Alright it looks like Keep Fighting is the winning choice by one. I'm gonna be a bit busy tonight so we'll be back at it tomorrow.

Can the drama school arc please end soon, this has been going on for months.

I'd really prefer to get to the tournament or such by now.

Also, surprised Ryuko isn't questioning 'why' we are fighting her considering she knows a lot of what we are doing

>>5535146
Honestly, I wouldn't mind slow progression, but that would have to be offset by a higher frequency of updates. I zoomed through the archives in a couple minutes and thought this was something that came out a couple days ago rather than it being multiple months apart.

>>5535181
Yeah sorry, this is something that I do purely recreationaly. I get distracted, get busy, do other things. It's just how I operate. Nothing against you guys or anything just how the cookie ends up crumbling.

You groan saying nothing and turning to Ryuko again.

"Alright let's go." You say rising your hands to Ryuko once again

Ryuko looks to you, seemingly much less angry.

"Cmon, let's get this over with!" You shout

Ryuko nods, brandishing her scissor blade once again.

Honestly as long as it's over and our kamui is fine in good with whatever.

You attempt to brace yourself only to suddenly feel a punch to your gut. The air leaves your lungs as you double over in pain.

There's a barrage of punches and kicks to your form and you find yourself being flung backwards. You tumble across the floor skidding to a stop on your back. You cough as a bit of blood leaks from your mouth.

"Is that all you got?" Ryuko asks but her voice is lighter than it was a moment ago.

You groan and rise to your feet.

"Anon?" Suigetsu asks worried

This went ass up really quick. You look behind to see Satsuki and the Elite Four glaring at you with visible contempt.

> Keep fighting.
> Transform and Keep fighting.

>>5536222
>> Transform and Keep fighting.

>>5536302
Chalk it up to Anon feeling a lot of emotions during all this? Can't exactly stay objective in the middle of a fight that's a setup and the entire situation is shitty.

You wipe the blood from your mouth

"I'm not done yet." you say, fists ups once again.

Ryuko... smirks "Alright! Let's go!"

Ryuko charges towards you again you meet her blows, it's an even match strikes dipping and crossing across each other as the two of you battle each other.

You land a solid strike on Ryuko pushing her back slightly, but she doesn't seem to be greatly injured.

"That all you got?!" Ryuko continues to smirk face in a grin

...is she... enjoying herself?

...
> Get angry
> Fuck it. Let's have some fun.

>>5536333
> Fuck it. Let's have some fun.

>>5536333
> Fuck it. Let's have some fun.

Hmm, fun fact, we seem to form a pretty solid 5 man band with the characters. And it can be applied both to Ryuko and Satsuki's group

Ryuko - The Leader being the main character and most passionate

Us - The Lancer, being calmer, smarter and having a lot of plans and prepping while Ryuko has a simple goal and lives in the moment.

Mako - The heart, like in canon, as the cheery member of the group, and being Ryuko's main support.

Maiko - The Smart guy, as she is the most intelligent of the group besides us, and helps support our plans.

Suigetsu/Senketsu - The Big Guy, being ours and Ryukos's main method of combat and being two of the 3 Kamui in the world


While with the Elite 4+Satsuki, we form as somewhat of a 6th Ranger, while also somewhat being a 6th ranger traitor since we have conflicting loyalty to both Ryuko's group and this one.

Otherwise, we also serve as a Lancer to Satsuki, being more emotional and having different intentions from her.

>>5537385
Sure here's a 1

You know what? Yeah, yeah! You should enjoy yourself too. If Satsuki is gonna make you run this gambit you might as well make the most of it!

"Hell no!" You respond

You approach her once again, aiming a full on punch that she blocks with the flat side of her scissor blade.

"Good!"

The two of you then begin a dance of blade and body, ducking and weaving around underneath your respective blows a few small taps connecting both of you flying backwards with gravitas!

"Now you're picking up!" Ryuko jokes

"Heh, I wasn't serious before!" You respond

You rush forward landing another exaggerated tap on ryuko face causing her to flip backwards landing a few feet away.

"Not bad, but it's time we finish this!"

You think the time is right as well.

"Come now Anon, finishing blow!"

>>5537419

The audience will be shocked. What, the protag LOSES?

You meet Ryuko's eyes, you narrow them. Despite not saying anything it seems she understands.

The two of you approach each other running at full speed.

You can feel the energy of the stadium building as the two of you approach each other. To the side Maiko cheers.

"GO ANON GO! GO ANON GO!" she jumps

The two of you get closer, ryuko readies her blade while you open your talons. Ryuko seems to glance to Mako behind you, smiling. Looks like she's not worried about what happens anymore. You want to look to the Elite Four, see their reactions, but you have an illusion to sell.

"Get ready Anon, HAAAAAAA!!!!!"

Ryuko goes into a shout

"HRAGGGHHHHHH!!!!"

You do the same and in a loud clang and skidding stop, the two of you stand a few feet beyond each other.

The entire stadium freezes, it's as if no one is breathing. Then you hear Ryuko buckle behind you, followed by a light thud.

You smirk.

"YEAHHHHHH!!!!!" "ANON! ANON! ANON!" "LETS GOOOOOO!"

The entire stadium erupts in applause.

Withdraw cooly

>>5537474
It was without transforming the kamui

>>5537474
We did not kamui transform. Suigetsu is still on us, but we did not pop it to go all out. I think all we really used was the gauntlet to melee and the talons to melee. We did not use the fiber tangling ability of the talons, but we did use the subtle power of the gauntlet to push Ryuko away here and there in the melee

Alright sorry about that. Writing now.

You opt not to boast, bowing to the crowd calmly walking over to Ryuko, you hold out your hand to help her up.

She looks at it before smirking. "Yeah, yeah, not bad." she grabs it and you lift her up pulling her closer to whisper in her ear

"You gotta get stronger Ryuko, we know you aren't there yet." you whisper

she chuckles her voice tinged with a light frustration "Yeah I know, thanks for reminding me"

You put space between the two of you again, the crowd still cheering. Maiko runs up on stage hugging you

"Nice job boss!" she says smiling

You smile, "Was there ever any doubt?"

"Well there was that one part where Ryuko-"

"Alright that was a rhetorical question." you cut her off

A loud clack resounds against the floor. The entire stadium goes silent as they all stand at attention looking to Satsuki.

"Anon Meipan."

She then... smirks.

"You have won this battle. Congratulations."

...huh?

> Thank You, Lady Satuski
> Eh. No Big deal.
> Write In.

>>5537525
> Thank you. I didn't like doing this, and I still hate having to be pressured into fighting Ryuko like that. I suppose we both just rolled with it as it went on, and it turned into a nice spar. I can't complain about THAT part of it.

>>5537525
>Eh. No Big deal.
Gotta keep up our slacker persona

>>5537525
>>Eh. No Big deal.

>>5537525
> Eh. No Big deal.
>Thumbs up.

No Big deal it is... or i guess isn't? Writing.

you shrug voice laced with nonchalance "Eh. No big deal."

Satsuki hums in amusement "I see." her face then shifts into a frown "Mako Mankanshoku, are you prepared to fight in your match now?"

Mako looks to her "Huh?"

"Your match with Matoi." she says reminding her

Mako suddenly perks up like she forgot why she was actually here "O-oh right!" she turns to the two of you

"A-actually." she puts on a small smile and looks Satsuki "I don't think I want to continue leading the Fight Club." she says

"I see." Satsuki sighs "Then you will be stripped of your goku uniform and rank immediately"

Mako simply nods, not really seeming too sad about all this. "I understand." she bows "Thank you."

"Mako..." Ryuko says sadly

...Hm
> Interject.
> Let it be.

>>5537571
>Does she have to turn in her rank and uniform if she joins my club?

>>5537571
>Let it be
I like Mako but we're working on some real dangerous hush hush stuff and the girl is anything but subtle.

>>5537571
>Let it be
Plan to discuss this whole shitshow with Maiko later

>>5537571
> Interject.

>>5537575
This is also a good question to ask. I'll support saying it.

>>5537575
>>5537913
+1 these

>>5537571
>>5537913
Changing my vote to not interject. We can always invite Mako and Ryuko later.

>>5537571
> Let it be.

>>5537962
Decided against this

But on the other hand intervening and asking Satsuki about this might be the best way to get them both to join our club.

>>5537571
>>5538072
Screw it, changing my vote again to support >>5537575
Satsuki might get mad, might prove very suspicious to the Elite Four, and Satsuma might not even agree. But what the hell we should at least say something.

>>5538136
>Satsuma
*Satsuki

Okay wait so there was a lot of vote switching. Who's voting for what.

>>5537575
+1

>>5538358
Let me see if I can tally it up

Let it be:
>>5538082
>>5537621
>>5537606

Ask if she can join our club and keep her status:
>>5537575
>>5538136
>>5538362

So it seems like it's a tie. I'll change my vote if nobody else does.

>>5538358
Just to keep things moving along I'll break the tie and change my vote to:
>Let it be
Man, I really want to console them both after all of this is done.

We'll start early tomorrow to compensate for no thread today

You opt to let it be, this is their decision and quite frankly you like the position you're in right now.

"Very well then." Satsuki says "Mako Mankanshoku, you are hereby stripped of your official title and rank."

She bows

"We will be receiving your uniform shortly, for the moment that will be all." she says

She understand and then turns to Ryuko.

"M-Mako I-" Ryuko is cut off as Mako wraps her arms around her form, smiling softly.

"I'm sorry." Mako says quietly

The two sit there hugging each other as the crowd in the stadium disperses.

"Cmon boss, let's get-"

"Anon Meipan!" Satsuki looks to you "Maiko Ogure as well. Follow us this way."

You and her nod, walking by the Elite Four as their shoes echo in the halls

"You did excellent work, Anon Meipan." Satsuki says

> No big deal.
> Cut to the chase.

>>5539362
> Cut to the chase.

>>5539362
>"I feel there's a 'but' coming"
Wouldn't call us over just for some light praise.

>>5539374

You grimace "I feel there's a 'but' there."

Satsuki chuckles "It seems you've gotten a hang of how things go around here."

You shrug

"In all honesty, no I didn't have anything else to add. That strength is going to be useful going forward." She says resolutely

"Going forward?" You ask

Satsuki nods. "I intend to throw the entire school into a Battle Royale. Whoever remains is worthy to continue moving forward."

....huh?
> wait WHAT?!
> A battle Royale huh.

>>5539565

"Wait... WHAT?!" you ask shocked "Moving forward towards what exactly?"

she turns to you "Amassing an army to fight back against REVOCS."

Alright, Writing.

"Turning the whole school into your personal army? I can imagine lots of people would willingly join in against REVOCS if they knew, but I know there's gotta be some crazy enough to want to side with them instead. Or worse." you muse

"Indeed." Satsuki responds

"But you said 'whoever remains is worthy.' What happens to the rest who don't remain?" you ask

"They are free to run an hide lest they get caught... or worse, in the struggle." Satsuki clarifies

"Ohhh, you're not doing this to get rid of em' you're doing it to protect them!" you confirm

Satsuki nods "From the beginning, all of this, its been for them. The people who are slaves to clothing." she says

"Slaves?" Suigetsu comments

You look down to her frowning. "Don't worry Sui we're not like that."

"R-right." she says

"I assume we can count on you going forward Anon Meipan?" Gamagoori asks that this time

> Well duh.

Sure Anon and Ryuko got over it after Anon confronted Satsuki like that, and with Ryuko's enthusiasm turned it into a friendly spar of sorts, but...

"I would but I would rather not have to fight Ryuko again." You admit

"You wouldn't have to." Satsuki says "Once the Royale begins even the Elite Four have no true allegiance."

Your eyes perk up at that

"Alliances, betrayals, all is to be expected once that begins" she says

You think on it, well that's better than you were expecting you guess.

"Anon, this will be a wonderful chance to prove your skills!" Suigetsu comments

Hmm.

Alright Writing.

"I guess I'll have to get ready for it." you remark "Wait... what happens if someone beats YOU during the battle royale?"

Satsuki raises an eyebrow "Do you plan on doing so?"

"Just asking." you defensively raise your hands

she chuckles "I am beset to the rules as anyone else, should I be defeated during the battle royale then they would usurp my position as Student Council president." she stops "Of course, it's unlikely any such thing should happen."

"Right." you nod "Actually that's a point, is this just between students or can anyone get involved?"

"This is something strictly contained to the students of Honnoji Academy." she clarifies

You nod. That's a lot of info, anything else?
> Yes. (Write In)

Alright, writing.

"So is this last one standing till the bell rings, or do we have to win a certain number of times?" you ask

"It will be the number of defeats." she says "In fact the member of the Elite Four that defeats the least students will have the honor of facing Matoi first." she explains with a hint of sarcasm

You nod "I see." you shift your stance a bit "I'm guessing that still includes me?" you ask

Satsuki actually seems to ponder that "You have proved your skill to me time and time again. Even now you've shown great prowess against Ryuko Matoi. I suppose I'll let the decision be up to you."

"Really?"

"Really." she confirms "However if that's all I truly should be on my way." she gives a nod and begins walking off, the Elite Four following behind.

"Damn, looks like I'm gonna have to prepare myself!" Maiko says pumping herself up

You smile and think. You could probably survive a Battle Royale with a bunch of No-stars and One-stars, you've done it so far at least. But is there anything in particular you're really looking for?
> Just make it through on your own.
> Try to survive and maybe help Maiko get her role back

>>5546401
> Try to survive and maybe help Maiko get her role back
Turn the clubroom into a fort. Continue experimenting and working, and trying not to let stress or nerves get to us. We can always escape out the windows if we have to, because owl wings and flying mechanisms. But what now? Go home?

>>5546401
>> Try to survive and maybe help Maiko get her role back

>>5546401
> Try to survive and maybe help Maiko get her role back
Satsuki hates treason, fighting her seems like something that'll make her feel betrayed. If we get Maiko her position back we'll get more influence.

>>5546404
Should we warn Ryuko?

>>5546406
Ryuko will find out anyway. Mako will tell her.

>>5546536
Mako already knows about this?

>>5546540
No, because we just found out. What, you want us to tell Ryuko this battle royale will happen beforehand?

>>5546591
Why not? I admit it might be a bad idea, but we've been going behind her back pretty regularly.
Besides, there's a big chance she'll find out we already knew about it.

>Hmmm, should we make an upgrade too a scissor blade pair of our own?

Or maybe some life fibers that can boost combat speed?

Sorry folks I'm back. Writing.

You think you have a good idea.

"I'm gonna help you get your position back." you say

"Oh yeah, that sounds like a-" she pauses "W-wait really?"

You nod "Of course, why would I not?"

"W-well I mean if I'm a president of a club we won't be able to hang out as much anymore, and I won't be able to learn more stuff from you and you help make better traps-"

"Maiko." you stop her

"Yes?" she responds

"Is there something you're not telling me?" you ask her

Maiko fidgets a bit, before... well before not really saying much of anything.

"Maiko, hello?"

"Yeah, yeah just give me a second!" she says jumping back

You perk an eyebrow up in confusion. She loved her old job, what's the deal?

"I just... I really liked sitting in with you and hanging out and stuff. I feel like you really helped me get better after all the stuff with Ryuko you know?"

"More than being a president of a club?" you ask

"It was a lower level club!"

"But it was still a club!" you fire back

"Look I-I just don't know okay!"

"Wait a minute..." you look at Maiko and take a few steps closer.

She tenses up but doesn't retreat as you step closer

"You just love hanging out with me don't you!"

Maiko stops for a moment before smiling nervously "Y-yeah! Ya got me!" she leans to the side with her hands open

You shake your head, Maiko could be so silly sometimes "We can still definitely hang out on occasion Maiko. It's not like we have to stop being friends."

she smiles softly "Yeah, yeah I guess so."

"Yeah!" Maiko says previous nervousness gone

You being pulling out random schematics. You think you're pretty well equipped to handle anyone at this point but maybe there's something else you could do?

You ok OP?

Yeah life and work happens. Well be back to it today. I wish I could do more anons but the inspiration comes and goes.

No worries OP, take your time.
Also your ID seems to have changed.

>>5559477
I was mobile posting and my phone died so my id changed.

"Nah cmon Maiko, let me help you out." you say

She sighs "Yeah alright."

The two of look over some of Maiko's schematics. She seemed wary at first but she could help but let herself get back into it again. She's really in her element when designing stuff like this.

"So you see this one isn't a simple weight trap, it uses-" she starts

She also talks about planned upgrades to her more personal weapons. Like her secret boxing glove type weapon.

"I'm planning on replacing the spring system here with something more appropriate."

She really loves these things huh? You can get that, you love Suigetsu, you're also fond of all your other traps as well.

"Hmm, maybe some smoke bombs? No, Confetti!" she says scribbling some stuff down.

She proceeds to lean over and scribble something on a blueprint leaning over the table. You smile, it's nice to see Maiko isn't so nervous about this anymore, it's great to see her be passionate plus her butt look pretty good from here too.

Alright flipping coin.

Sorry that was a long coin flip. Writing,

You think on that for a moment. Why did you think that? Have you always thought that? I mean Maiko does look nice, actually you've really been noticing her more recently, must be all the cheerleading.

"Hmmmm, oooh yeah this is a good idea!" Maiko says beginning to wag her butt absentmindedly.

You sort of just awkwardly stare at it while you consider your current and sudden feelings.

"You Anon did ya hear me?" Maiko asks

"Huh?" you suddenly perk up

"I said pass me some fibers man." she chuckles

Right focus, focus.

"Ah sure." Cmon man focus

You lean over and see that Maiko hasn't just made one but several different schematics.

"What do you think boss?"

There's reinforced boxing gloves, a life fiber anvil dropper, a trap door you can place anywhere. Wow these are all pretty great.

"Which one are you feelin'?" she asks

That's a good question.

"Hm, this is an interesting application of fibers." you say

"Yeah I figured the things were so sharp they'd be able to just cut holes right into the ground." Maiko explains

"Yeah that makes sense, let's get to work." you say with a smile and a nod

The two of you begin to create the beginnings of a square contraption with a thin line of fiber taught enough to cut.

"Hm..." you say

"How do we get rid of the excess material to clear out the hole?" you ask

Maiko puts a hand to her chin "Fair point, maybe a vaccum?" she considers

You shake your head. "Way too clunky."

"Hmmmm."

> Write in (How exactly would the dirt underneath the trapdoor be displaced. If you can came up with a good enough method that isn't physically impossible I'll let you take it.)

>>5562753
Only thing I can think of is to somehow view the material out and away from the center. No clue how to do that though.

>>5562753
Maybe it can push the material up through the trapdoor first? But that would go against the most important part of it, being a quick way to escape.

>>5562753
Cut the material apart from whatever it is then compress it and interweave it with the life fibers themselves, you just have to empty them out later or just release it back into the space it was in when you remove the life fiber trap door.

I think we just made a breakthrough with life fibers and trapdoors.

Alright yeah. Writing.

"Oh easy." you nod "Let's do this."

You and Maiko hammer out the rest of the contraption and before you know it, it's complete.

"Alright!" Maiko laughs "Let's test this baby out!"

you grab her hand

"Let's do it somewhere that isn't the club room." you suggest

She nods and the two of you venture outside Maiko holding the element in her hand. You head to the back of the school and Maiko looks down in anticipation.

"Alright, moment of truth!"

Maiko tosses the trap it expands into a square and sinks into the ground with a thunk, it whirs for a moment before stopping.

"...Did it work?" Maiko asks

You step over and open the door finding that what is assumed to be the remnants of dirt have been compressed into a tight cube on the bottom of the door. Underneath there's a hole roughly big enough to fit most humans.

You smile "Yeah it worked."

She pumps her fist! "Alright! Cmon let's do another!" she asks

You nod "Eh sure, why not."

The two of you head back to the club room where Maiko begins to augment her boxing glove.

"Why did you decide to go with that?" you ask

"It's spontaneous, like a trap!" she explains

Yeah you weren't sure what you were expecting.

"Have you considered making anything else to fight with? You used that boxing glove against that Tsugumi guy right?" you ask

"Yeah!" she smirk at you

Sorry fellas actual reason this time. Was watching the Kaguya movie. It was awesome by the way. We'll be back tommorow.

"I actually really dig the way you fight." you mention

"Always gotta keep enemies on their toes!" she says with a smirk

She points her glove at a nearby wall and lets it fly, it dents the wall with a hearty crack.

...

"Are we gonna have to pay for that." she asks

"Nnnoooooo. Probably not." you say unsure.

The two of you continue to mess around in the club room before deciding to head back home. You stand by the gate. Saying good bye.

"Alright Anon I'll see you around. We gotta be on our a game tomorrow!" Maiko says

You nod "Right. See you tomorrow Maiko"

You turn to leave but you feel Maiko grab your arm.

"Actually Anon, I nearly forgot to give you something." she says a slight laugh in her voice

You turn. "Huh? What is i-"

Maiko then gives you a peck on the cheek, she keeps it there for a moment before stepping back blushing but still hitting you with the largest shit eating grin you've ever seen on a human being.

"Boss if you really wanted to stare at my ass, just ask next time." she then turns and walks away a sway in her hips.
