"But she left the school without any protection" Natsu said.

"No she came with me!! and why do you think Kaede needs protection she can learn martial arts like me from Shigure-nee and take care of herself." Honoka said.

"Huh!?...." Natsu exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, I have decided to learn Martial arts so that I don't become a burden to my brother. Learning from Master Shigure is going to start from today so Kaede could join me and learn from Master Shigure so that we could become strong enough to take care of ourselves" Honoka said with a smile.

"No, Kaede has been sighed from the hospital just recently, her body isn't strong enough to learn Martial arts" Natsu replied

"Are you sure about that!?" Kensei Ma asked

"What!? What do you mean!?" asked Natsu as he couldn't understand the need of such question.

"Well I and Akisame are classified doctor and we did a check up on your sister when Miu told about her but we didn't find anything wrong with her more over she is healthier then normal kids of her age except Honoka that is" said Kensei Ma

"Wh - What!? How is this possible!?" asked Natsu in shock.

"Kenichi used his internal energy to cure your sister on a regular basis. Doing so he also cleared the impurities her body or you could say any normal person has along with her illness making her healthier than normal kids and the only reason it was possible because of how pure Kenichi's internal energy was otherwise I am not sure that your sister could have been saved from just the use of his internal energy" Akisame explained while stroking his moustache.

"This - This means Kaede is as healthy as she could be!?" Natsu asked to make sure what he heard was true.

"Yes, strong enough to learn martial arts if she wants to!" replied Akisame.

"See! now do you want to learn martial arts Kaede!?" asked Honoka from Kaede.

"Yes, I want to learn martial arts" replied Kaede with a smile.

"Kaede!? You don't need to, I will protect you and airways be there to take care of you" Natsu said to Tanimoto.

"No brother, I want to learn martial arts so that I don't need to hide behind your shadow and take on the world in my own, even if you will be there to take care of me atleast I should learn how to take care of myself so that you can have a life of your own" said Kaede.

"Good then you can use my second karate gi to start the training today with me" said Honoka as she pulled Kaede with her to change the dress.

Before Natsu could stop Kaede he was pulled by Kensei "You come with me I have to cheek if there any aliments that you are having due to practicing of Hikaken!" he says and pulled him towards his clinic.

"In two days you for 2 disciple Shigure, I think you should be quite happy" Sakaki said while drinking his bear.

"Umm... I am going to.... train my disciples" Shigure says as she nodded her head then left along with Miu leaving the men there.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Why are you doing this!?" asked Natsu who was lying down on a patient's bed in Kensei Ma's clinic with acupuncture on his body.

"Well since my brother was your Master, I have to make sure that he took care of the aliments that come with Hikaken, Which looks like he did making sure that you don't get your hands destroyed" Kensei said.

"He used to make me wear stones around my wrist to increase its strength" Natsu said.

"A good way to train for Hikaken but it looks like you stopped practicing the basics otherwise this process wouldn't have been needed to perform" Kensei said while looking at Natsu.

Natsu turned his head away in other direction not looking at Kensei as what he said was true. He stopped practicing the basics after getting defeated from Kenichi for the first time.

"We'll just stay like this for 10 minutes after which you will be fine but I will ask you to start practicing the basics and you can come to ask me if there is any problem you face in your Hikaken" Kensei said as he left the room to let Natsu rest for next 10 minutes.

Ragnarok Base

"So you are fine with joining Ragnarok, Rimi" asked Ryuto.

"Yes Ryuto-sama, Rimi would love to serve you with the best is my abilities" replied the blond girl Rimi.

Rimi dresses in typical Gothic Lolita clothes. She has short, blond shoulder length hair and a well-endowed figure for her age. She wore a dark dress that reveals her c.h.e.s.t with straps across the middle, a type of headband up top and wore sleeves around her arms midway. On her legs were stockings and she was wearing high-heels.

"Good then in two days I will have your gloves ready for you and you will be there when we deal with the Shinpaku Alliance" said Ryuto.

"Yes, Ryuto-Sama Rimi won't let you down " Rimi said and left.

Sitting on his throne Ryuto thought about Kenichi's challenge "Just you wait Kenichi, I will crush and price that I am stronger then you" he said after which he took out his cellphone and dialed a number.

"Hello, what is it my disciple!?" came a voice from the other side of the phone.

"Master, 3 days from now I am going to fight against my rival and I want you to be there to see how I crush him" said Ryuto.

"Oh! Is this the guy you talked about when you first meet me!?" asked Ogata.

"Yes, Master he is the one and after 3 days I am going to defeat him" replied Ryuto.

"Ryuto is this guy a martial artist!?" asked Ogata.

"He at the age of 6, hit a.d.u.l.t men and with his thinking of continuously becoming strong, I am sure he is not a low level martial artist" Ryuto said.

"Oh! now that's interesting, ok then I will be there to see your fight" Ogata said after which he disconnected the phone.

Ryuto kept his cellphone back and said "3 days Kenichi, just 3 days and your confidence in your strength will come to an end...."
