Chris is strolling on a street near the school, suddenly he saw Ai... "What"s she doing here? I thought I"m the only one who escaped the Chemistry cla.s.s..."...So Chris followed Ai from behind...After a while, Ai stopped at an abandoned place, She didn"t notice that Chris is stalking on her from a place nearby. She places her hand "on" the "air" and mumbling something then a portal appear from the thin air, she walks into the portal and the portal closed... "Hmm...interesting..."

A few minutes later, in the school, 5-A2 homeroom. "You what?! How could you escape the cla.s.s without me? It"s really torture in the Chemistry cla.s.s you know?" "Well I can see that...*look at the notebook with some stupid drawing on Sky"s desk*...looks like you are having a really "bad" time are you?" "Hehe~Says, why would Ai-chan escape the cla.s.s, having a date with a boy from another dimension?" "Hey! Can"t you be a little bit more serious?" "Why should I?" "Ah! I shouldn"t even expect anything from you. Hey! Is there anything special happens, the school looks unusually lively." "Well~the club activity of this year has started. So they are all busy about the club thingy..." "Oh! I almost forget about that... d.a.m.n! I need to go get my racket." "Yeah! You are the ace of the tennis club." "Well, it"s not like I have a choice. And you? Don"t you have anything to do?" "Of course I do! I am the kendo club"s chairman after all, that"s the reason I can bring a real "katana" every day!" "I can"t see any link between that, anyway need to go, don"t you need to go change your outfit?" "I"m still waiting for the new member list from...what"s the name again?... Er..." "Chairman! Here"s the list of the new member..."A half-balded guy ran into the room and hand over a piece of paper to Sky. "Well~let"s have a look...*briefly read through the paper*...hmm~ Enomoto Itsuki...This is getting a bit exciting."

Chapter5-The Kendo Club!
"Ha! Thanks for that... ah... what"s your name again?" "My name is Ijime sir." "Ugh... okay... *thinking* that"s a really weird name, how am I supposed to call him with that name?!" "What"s wrong Chairman-sama?" "Ah? No... Ij... ah! What"s your surname?" "Ito. Ijime Ito." "Oh! So I"ll just call you Ito... *thinking* please don"t say that name anymore, why are you so proud of it!?"
*Ijime means bully or teasing
"Hey! Chairman-sama, do you need to go change your outfit?" "I don"t think it"s necessary. Today is the first meeting for qualifying the new members. " "But a match between you and the newbie will be done... it"s really dangerous if you..." "Ahh~ don"t worry, what do you think I am for holding the "chairman" position for three years? Moreover I didn"t even bring my uniform." "But..." "It"s okay! Trust me! It just for newbie qualification, don"t need to be so formal." "If you say so..." "Hha!"
A few minutes later, in the kendo club room or what we call as dojo... "Sky-sama, these are the new members" "Hmm..." There are twelve new members in the dojo, including Itsuki. There is a boy with spiky hair and a dangerous look and another one hiding in the corner wearing big gla.s.ses...
"Okay! Since there is a lot of new faces here, so I will start to introduce myself. I"m Sky. Now, why don"t you introduce yourself?...*thinking: "Shi...I hate doing this...*"
So, they introduced themselves, the spiky hair boy name Ryu and the big-gla.s.sed named Masato. (I"m so lazy to figure up a surname right now but don"t worry they will have their surname)
"Good to have you all here, however, the rule is the rule, you will not officially become the club member unless you pa.s.s the qualification test. The qualification is very easy, each of you will spar with one of the senior members, you don"t really need to win even though it is really good if you actually win but your moves are more important, now you can choose your opponent and if you don"t have your own shinai, get it from the storeroom. Talk about this I forgot my shinai as well...*walk to the storeroom*...Oh! Itsuki, you are with me." "Ah?" Sky looks at Itsuki with an evil grin.
The match begins, Itsuki with Sky, Ryu with another club member and Masato with Ito. Well since the others is not important so I"ll just stick on Sky and Itsuki"s "brief and short match". Yes! A short match, a very short match. Sky hit Itsuki"s head, Itsuki"s block it, Sky counter the block by switched his shinai to Itsuki"s gut, Itsuki fall and Sky win. That"s all. "What?! Why did you need to be so mean to me? Come on! This is my first match with Itsuki, can"t you make it more interesting?" (Well, If I do that Itsuki will surely get beaten up badly.) "I"m not that bad!" (Yes you are. Anyway continue with the story...)
So a few minutes later, the match ended... "Ryu is so cool... I can"t believe he actually win... aww~ I want to be his girlfriend..." "Oh? Hmm... Isn"t it is better to be my girlfriend?" "Ah! Sky-sama... gomenasai..." "Nevermind... next time pay attention during the club meeting." "Yes, sir..." "Okay! So, the qualification test has ended I already have the result with me, whoever their name been called please step in front. Ryu, Itsuki and Masato. For the rest of you, sorry are you not qualified, please try another club." (Wow! That"s really strict huh?)
"Anyway, although three of you have pa.s.sed the test, I still have some words for you... *noticed Masato"s confused face*... Is it anything wrong, Masato-kun?" "Yes...sir...why am I been chosen? I lose in the match..." "Well, as I said just now, win or lose is not important, you got skill just lack of confident, if you have more confidence you might win... right Ito?" "Yes! It"s true." Sky tapped Masato"s shoulder. "Try your best. As for Ryu-san, you have excellent moves and skill..." "Ha! Of course! I"m from the XYZ Kendo school, my sensei is the best in the whole j.a.pan." "Ehem... However there is a weakness in you which is your biggest weakness, you are too proud of yourself." "What? Hey! You..." Sky ignored him. "And for you, Itsuki, well done." "Ah?" "Hey! I"m the chairman! When I said you are good, you are good! Moreover I"m the one that testing you, not simply anyone can block my hit!" Ryu looks really unhappy after what Sky said. "Hah?" "Haha, however you still need to work hard on your training...*go near Itsuki, whisper*...this "well done" thing can"t help you in a real battle... Anyway, there"s something I need to do so I"m leaving the club, you guys continue your training, I"ll be back in an hour... Ito, you are in charge." "Yes sir." "Oh! And Ryu-san, I know you are upset with my words, but what I said is a truth, if you still feel unsatisfied, you can always challenge me for a match if you don"t mind to lose your own pride." Sky leaves the dojo...(Yes, he is mean. )
After Sky left the club... "Hey! What kind of chairman is that? Leave the club just like nothing? What"s so good about him? And what kind of att.i.tude for a kendo club chairman to forget to bring his own shinai? I"m wondering what"s make him the chairman for three years? All I can see is his blank talk! What"s so good of winning a beginner(he mean Itsuki)?" "Ryu-san, you need more time to understand Sky-sama, he"s not..." "And just who are you getting in charge of me? Seriously this kendo club really sucks, I expect to see some real things!"...
The other place... "Hey Sky! Are you sure it"s okay to leave your club just like that?" "Haha! They should be okay by themselves, moreover, this is not the first time I dump them...*stare at a direction*...so this is the place you tell me just now." "Yes. This is where Ai open the portal." then Sky sensed something and a sword appeared in his right hand (the sword name is Flash, if you referred to chapter 1) "Right now the portal is not a major issue, it seems like there are other "creatures" here..." "I know."
In the kendo club... "Uhm... Ryu-san, I don"t want to be mean but what you said just now is really rude." "Hey! Who are you again? Oh! So it"s "Mr. Well done" huh? (that"s a good nickname) What do you think are you are? Getting praise after been defeat? What"s the meaning of all these? Or is it just because you are a friend of the chairman-san huh?" "It"s not!" "Ha! Good one! So prove it to me!" said so, Ryu lifted up his shinai. "You asked for it." Itsuki gets his shinai as well. Suddenly someone appeared at the door. "Oh! So there is some fight between the members huh?" He smiled, then grip Ryu and throw him to the wall. "Argh..." Ryu falls to the ground as he crushed the wall. "Ryu!" "So~who is the boss here?"
Back to Sky and Chris. "Hey! Sky! Don"t you forget anything?" "Did I?" "Ah..." A giant bat attacks Chris, Chris knocks it down with his silver rod. "Nevermind, I"ll tell you after this chaos." "Uh-huh..." Sky slashes another bat down with his sword. So, in case you are confused and oblivious on what happens, I"ll explain it to you, just as they sensed the "creature", a "whirlpool" appeared in the air, countless of creepy giant bat came out from the "whirlpool"...so they are fighting with the bat. Anyway, let"s just continue... "What"s wrong with you stupid bats?! Why you keep attacking me?! Chris is standing there, why don"t you attack him??!!" He cut down a bat. "Hey! I wonder where do all these things come from?" said Chris while piercing through a bat with his rod. "h.e.l.l like I know! Maybe it"s from some other dimension. It seems like the "link" between dimensions have disrupted again..." "Could it be those time travelers*?" "Who knows? But those time travelers do give us lots of trouble. Hey! Talk about a time traveler, just now are you trying to tell me that "Sword Gang" are having an all-out attack to all the kendo club today?" "Uh...yes ...*thinking*...What makes him relate a time traveler with the kendo club?" "I totally forgot about it, I afraid they already reached our school kendo club, the members are not good enough to defeat them. I wonder if I can make it there in time. How many bats left to be defeat?" "Could be a few hundred or one." "Ah?" Chris pointed at a humanoid creature in the sky. "I think that"s their "leader" that taking control of them." "I see..."
"Ha! I see! So your "Chairman-sama" is not here huh? Guess he chickened out did he? Nevermind! So, who"s the strongest here, I don"t want people to say that I"m bullying the weakling!" said the sword gang boss. "If you mean after Sky-sama, it will be me..." "Ito-senpai..." "Sky-sama you say? So that"s the name of your coward chairman? From the look of you wimpy and the members I can imagine how weak that your Sky-sama is..." "Don"t mock him!!!" Ito picks up the shinai from the floor. "Ha! That"s more like it!" He gets a shinai from his followers. So the match begins...
Let me explain about the match, this match is not the same as the normal kendo match, it is following the Sword Gang rule, which has no time limit or points, just a survival mode, they fight until one side totally can"t fight anymore, it"s more like a life and death game, they usually use the real katana instead of shinai and without any protective equipment, but in this case, because he is having a match with Ito so he only uses a normal shinai.
As the match continues, the Sword Gang boss(which I will call him the boss) did various attacks on Ito, while Ito is only defending without doing any attack.
"Hey! What"s Ito senpai doing? Why he is not attacking?" "Because he knows he can"t win..." "Itsuki-san..." "He"s waiting for Sky-san to return."
"Ha! What"s wrong? Don"t know how to attack?" Ito continues to defend without saying anything. "Hahahaha..." The boss swings the shinai and it hits Ito"s stomach, the impulsive force makes Ito fall to the ground... "So it"s over I guess. Ha! This kendo club is nothing but rubbish." The boss about to leave. "Wait..." Ito is struggling to get up. "Huh? Oh! You still can move." "It"s...it"s not over yet..." said Ito. "Yes, it"s not yet over, because... the real match has just begun n." The boss looks out through the... er... window. "Who are you?" "Sky-sama..." said Ito. "Yes... I"m the chairman of this club, Sky." Sky get in through the window and took Ito"s shinai while helping him to get up. "Ha! I see. So you are the "Sky-sama" huh?" The boss gets the katana from his follower. "Wait! I don"t think it"s necessary to use katana, shouldn"t we just use shinai?" "Oh! You scared huh?" "No, just that I don"t know what"s your level, so let"s have a normal match first, you can proceed to the real katana if you win." "Ahah... interesting~ You seem really confident with yourself. Okay then I give you time to change your uniform ...(the boss is in full uniform and equipment)..." "Uh...It"s okay, we can actually start now..." "Oho~"...
So, the not so epic match began!
The boss launches his attack but Sky just dodges it, the boss continues to attack and Sky continues to dodge until... "Ah!..." Sky did a sudden counter-attack(he really likes to counter people) and knock the shinai out of the boss"s hand then he places his shinai to the boss"s neck. "You lose." "Argh..." "You can"t even hold your shinai, what makes you think you can use a real katana? If I did use a real katana you already lose your life. Do more training before you challenge me again. I"m the chairman of the club for these three years after all." The boss is so shocked that he can say anything. "Get out of my sight, before I get mad because you had hurt my friends." So they go away after been defeated...
"Sorry I"m late, I tried my best to come back in time." "No...it"s okay...but what happened to you? You look so...messy..." "Uh-huh...*smile*..."...
Of course, he wouldn"t explain but I"ll explain to you what happens...
Turn back the time to when they fighting the bats... "I think that"s the leader." "I see..." As they prepare to attack, another portal appeared, it"s a girl with a mask, she joins the fight to defeat the bat leader, Sky leaves as that girl join the fight.
Night, in Sky"s house... "I"m really sure that mystery girl is Ai..." "So it"s the same as we predicted..." "Yeah..."
