Another knock sounded at the door.
The three turned their heads and Rias spoke, "Come in."
The door opened and Koneko, with a fresh and clear look in a good mood, entered the room. Yuuto who did not know what happened was confused by Koneko's change.
"Good night, Rias-buchou, Akeno-san, Yuuto-senpai." Koneko greeted the three.
"Good night Koneko. Looks like you're having fun today." Rias smiled at him.
"Mk." Koneko nodded with a smile.
Akeno prepared another cup of tea and some snacks and placed it on the table in front of Koneko's regular chair.
Koneko sat down and started eating her snacks.
The three looked at her silently and Koneko noticed it but continued to eat in silence and wait for them to ask.
"Koneko, why didn't you come home yesterday?" Rias first opened her mouth.
"I'm staying at Kisuke-senpai's. I was tired and accidentally slept there." Koneko replied without much hesitation.
Yuuto, who was listening from the side, was surprised, 'That cone!?'
"You've become quite close to him. Can you tell me what you think of him?" Rias continued to ignore the surprised Yuuto.
"Mmmm. He's a pervert." Koneko nodded and said only one thing.
His third mouth twitched, 'We know!'
"But he's also kind though a little selfish. He kept doing stupid things even though he was very smart. He also has the natural ability to annoy everyone around him. He doesn't care what others think of him and just does whatever he wants. Did I mention that he's also a big pervert?"
Koneko spoke with a gentle smile on her face that left the three shocked.
'What are you doing, Kisuke Urahara!?'
"I know that you can defeat him easily, but aren't you worried that he might attack you when you're off guard? You did mention that he was a big pervert." Rias calmed herself down and continued to ask.
Koneko thought for a while and said, "In the fight against, I can easily defeat him, but will not be able to defeat him." 'This is technically not a lie because he has always only used a power lower than me when we were competing.'
"You've fought it before and lost? Did he use magic?" Rias' expression became serious.
"Yes, buchou. He did use magic to strengthen his body but I am still stronger." Koneko said, but thought, 'That's what he told me when we first fought. I still don't know how he's strengthening himself to such a crazy level.'
"How many times have you fought him?" Rias' expression became more serious.
"I started sparring with him a week ago and we always sparring when I came." Koneko continued to eat her snacks as she spoke.
"How did you lose? Did he use some tricks?"
"I can't describe how I lost, but I lost to his skill."
"Craftsmanship?"
"Never? Not at least once?" Yuuto's turn was shocked now that he was also a close combat specialist and he would never be able to do that to Koneko in a proper fight.
"Buchou." Akeno looked at Rias who was still deep in thought.
"If he taught you, why don't we see a change in your fighting style?" Rias asked and Yuuto nodded in agreement, "Right!"
"Because Senpai stated that I should not use what he taught me in real combat until I reached a certain level of mastery. I could only use what I learned if I argued with senpai, however, he had already lifted that restriction earlier. "
"How much did you fix?"
"I don't know. I still can't touch senpai even after using everything I learned." Koneko shook her head in disappointment, but she would never give up on becoming stronger for the sake of her sister.
"How about arguing with me?" Yuuto suddenly suggested.
Koneko did not immediately agree and looked towards Rias for confirmation.
"good. Koneko, did you use your knuckle gloves when fighting against her?" Rias agreed and asked another question.
Koneko nodded at him.
"Then Yuuto, use your Birth Sword." Rias looked at Yuuto and instructed.
"Buchou?... Alright." Yuuto looked at his serious expression and agreed.
"Let's move." Rias stood up and came out while the others followed.
They arrived at a crack in the forest next to the clubhouse.
"Akeno, put up a barrier. Just in case."
"Yes, Buchou."
Koneko and Yuuto faced each other 15 meters between them in the middle of the field.
"You can start now," Rias shouted at the two.
Yuuto embodies the one-handed sword in his right hand while Koneko mounts the horses.
Yuuto made his first move by attacking Koneko and swinging his sword from left to right. His speed was so fast that normal humans could only see a blurred silhouette.
Koneko dodged by flipping back and sending a kick to her chin in the process.
Yuuto blocked his leg with his left hand but he was raised to the back of a few feet due to the force of his kick.
It was Koneko's turn to run towards him and Yuuto prepared his horses but was shocked when he suddenly threw a handful of earth and grass at his face. At this unexpected situation, he slightly panicked and used his left arm to block the dirt that had entered his eyes.
As she looked in front of her, Koneko had already disappeared and saw a white silhouette on her right side.
Yuuto readied his sword to block the incoming fist, but another unexpected thing happened that shocked everyone, even Koneko herself.
When his left fist made contact with Yuuto's sword, instead of brushing it off as he wished, the sword suddenly broke into pieces. Yuuto stopped moving as well as the two people who saw him. Koneko recalled what her senpai said that never stop moving and think about your next move even if something very unexpected happens. He stepped in and launched a punch into Yuuto's face which only stopped when his fist was only about half an inch closer.
