Rebirth Of The Mightiest Disciple

"STOOP IT" shouted Miu when she saw that they were immersed in the fight and forgot about there surrounding.

Tsutomu and Kenichi stopped their fight and when Miu along with the others who were seeing their fight saw both of there disheveled state they couldn't help but laugh.

Even thought the fight wasn't concluded but both of them knew that the other wasn't going to go down without taking him as well so they stopped the fight the moment Miu shouted to stop them.

"Huff... Huff.... Thank you Kenichi after fighting you with your full strength and Ki no Shouka, I think I would be able reach that level really soon" Tsutomu said as he was already half a step in the third stage of becoming one with the Ki (internal energy) so with the knowledge he gain from this fight will be insightful for him.

"No no Tsutomu-san, after this fight I think I also understand what will be Necessary for me to step into Master class and I have to thank you for that" Kenichi said.

"Hahaha.... you would have been able to do it even if I didn't fought you but me I don't think I would have reached Ki no Shouka before my wife if not for this fight. It's the first time that I would be reaching a stage before her" Tsutomu said with a laugh.

"Why don't you two thank each other later and for now go with Akisame-san and Kensei-san to take care of your injuries" Miu said as she was fuming with anger due to all the destruction that the two has caused.

"Yes Yes let's do that" Kenichi said to which Tsutomu nodded his head and both of them followed Akisame and Kensei to their clinic.

In the Hospital

Ryuto had woken up for sometime but he hasn't met his master as he was busy due to some situation while Rimi was by his side taking care of him.

"When is my Master coming!?" asked Ryuto for nth time.

"He said that he would be coming as fast as he can Ryuto-sama, Why don't you eat some fruits you haven't eaten for quite some time" Rimi said.

"I already just two hours ago there is no need for this!?" Ryuto said refusing Rimi's offer.

"You should eat when someone is trying to help" Ogata said as he entered the room,"Your body isn't like before so you should eat as much as you can to have enough strength".

"Master Why did you knock me out while we were talking!?" asked Ryuto.

"Because your body was not in the condition to talk with and now that you area little good we can talk!" Ogata stated as he sat on a stool picking up a fruit that Rimi had peeled for Ryuto putting it in his mouth, "So ask what did you wanted to ask!?"

"Why did I felt that I was fighting with someone of your caliber when against Kenichi and that Ki no Shouka what is it I thought there was only Sei and Dou type of internal energy?" Ryuto asked not caring about Ogata's behavior.

"There are only those two" Ogata nodded , deciding not to talk about exceptions,"But there are levels of controlling your internal energy. You are just skimming the first level, Ki no Hatsudo, or invoking of internal energy (Ki). But your friend there is already at the third and final level. Even people at the master class cannot utilize this as well as your rival. I might say he might even be at my level or above me in controlling it but his body and experience is nowhere close. Though the reason he healed you is because he's Katsujinken."

"What does that mean!?" asked Rimi.

"Ryozanpaku follows the creed of Katsujinken, a practice where a martial arts practitioner will not kill, even at the risk of his own life. I saw and heard your conversation during the fight. He knew, somehow, about the danger, whether it was by glancing at your or sensing your ki or something else. So when he fought you his self made hand style which he used against you not only stopped the ravage ki from spreading over your body but he also managed to balance your ki network so as to mitigate the damage as much as possible." Ogata explained after which he howled in laughter "Such an outrageous disciple Ryozanpaku is raising now i have become more and more interested in him"

Ogata then told the two of them that he would train them as much as he could but for sometime Ryuto should rest after which he left to talk with the rest of the Yami members.

Ryuto however couldn't help but think why did Kenichi saved him. Even when he could have completely beaten him early in the fight. So why did he took such a risk to make sure that he doesn't become a cripple?

"Ryuto-sama!?" called Rimi.

"what is it Rimi!?" asked Ryuto.

"This fell from your pocket while we were bringing you to the hospital" Rimi said showing the paper to Ryuto.

On the paper there was a handwritten note "Don't think too much I did it simply because you were my first Friend and I have to take care of you - Kenichi"

"Damm idiot", scowled Ryuto before tossing the letter to the side but he still felt nice in his heart though he didn't showed it on his face.

"Ryuto-sama, Rimi will train to become strong and always be there to be the first one to fight for Ryuto-sama" said Rimi with her face showing her conviction

"Good Rimi cause if you are weak then there is no way that you would be able to stay by my side" Ryuto said as he picked up the peeled fruit and started eating them.

"Yes, don't worry Ryuto-sama, Rimi won't let you down" Rimi said while smiling as she saw her Ryuto-sama eating the fruits that she peeled for him.

Ryuto however wasn't paying attention anymore as in his mind he was thinking "Friend!? huh...."
