Naoki got into the training area as they stood there, waiting for the machine to turn on. Kimura looks nervous as he's never seen Naoki to be this serious before. He's so used to Naoki being laid back and tired all the time he hasn't really thought about if Naoki has taken anything serious before.
BEEEEP!!!
Four droids come flying out as one rushes towards Naoki as Naoki just glances at the oncoming droid, His movements are swift as he sidesteps out of the way. His eyes seem emotionless as Naoki moves his head to the left, having the droid miss. Everyone up top was astounded by the slacker of their classroom moving unlike anything they thought of.
The droids then all change their tactic as they move in synchronization, however this was a speciality only Naoki knows. He allows the droids to rush at him as to Naoki, they're all moving in slow motion. His body movement is quicker than expected as his reaction time is almost doubled.
"Huh, I didn't even know he could move like that." Kimura was surprised the most about it.
"I don't think any of us were." Ayameko commented.
Naoki kicks a droid as he swiftly moves out of the way, grabbing onto a second droid and smashing it against a third one. Naoki lets out an exhaust of air as he jumps back as his glare sharpens, his footwork begins to get faster and more accurate as he jumps over a droid and kicks it into the wall behind him.
"The next batch is coming in four seconds.." Naoki mumbled.
At exactly four seconds the next four droids come straight after him, Naoki swiftly dodges any attacks the droids try at him. One droid comes from behind trying to blindsight Naoki as he came prepared, spinning around as he sidestepped as the droid rammed into another one.
"Maybe you got a thing or two to learn from him." Kimura verbally jabbed at Ayameko.
"Maybe you need to learn to shut the fuck up and watch." Ayameko snapped back, her attention was on the session.
Two minutes had passed as the third batch came in trying to hit Naoki, however he wasn't slowing down as the droid seemingly missed every attempt they had at hitting him. But as time went on the droids increased in numbers bit by bit. The count went from four to five to six. Four minutes have passed as Naoki was still doing fine with six droids on him constantly.
He broke into a sweat a bit dodging nonstop as he retaliated by punching a droid square on the screen. The screen broke as Naoki swiftly dodged and moved back to the padded walls again. Naoki used the same trick as the droid flew into the wall and he kicked it in, counting it as out.
It now became five minutes as he needed five more minutes for the prizes Kimura promised. However after so much dodging and moving around, Naoki seemed to slow down a little bit, he was short on breath but not out of air. He was tired but he was still able to move.
"Looks like he's halfway done." Kimura commented.
Seven droids flew at him at once this time as he jumped and landed out of the way, the droids didn't give him much time to recuperate as the droids began aggressively trying to ram into Naoki. He was beginning to grow more exhausted as he continued to dodge and strike when it was needed.
"He's tiring himself out." Ayameko scoffed.
"Hey at least he didn't get blindsighted." Kimura joked.
Ayameko shot a glare at Kimura with her arms crossed, her shadow weaving past the other students in the way. Kimura looked up as he looked at Ayameko, their shadows clashed as both emitted their own small glow.
"Cut it out Ayameko." Kimura warned her.
"You cut it out dipshit…you're jabbing at me with these comments, the fuck did I do to you huh." Ayameko squints furrowing her brows.
Her shadow begins to slowly overwhelm Kimura's shadow as Leo raises her arm, a blinding light flashes the topside for a brief moment. Everyone except Naoki had to shield their eyes from the light, Ayameko and Kimura's shadow squirmed back to their respective places.
Ayameko stumbled to a knee rubbing her temples a bit while rubbing her eyes while Kimura rubs his eyes. "Agh shit…that was too bright…" Kimura commented as it felt like his eyes were burning.
"That's what you get when you provoke her dumbass." Leo commented, smacking Kimura over the head.
Leo walked over to Ayameko as she was still struggling a bit to get her eyes to adjust, her vision was temporarily blinded from the light. Ayameko could make out Leo's silhouette as she stands back up having to squint for a little longer.
"You look weird doing that." Leo playfully jabbed at her verbally.
"Duh…you just blinded me with your light." Ayameko muttered.
"Should have seen that coming when you and the idiot over there tried to one up each other." Leo said sternly.
"I…" Ayameko sighs briefly, "…It was his fault, he decided on it first." She spoke her side of it.
"Yeah, and you fell for it. Gullible still after all these years from the looks of it." Leo crossed her arms watching Naoki reach the 7 minute mark.
***
Almost 12 minutes had passed as Naoki's time was at 19 minutes before he was eventually tired out and taken out. Kimura hadn't expected Naoki to go for 19 minutes, surprising him and everyone else doubting what Naoki could do if things were taken seriously.
However, Naoki yawns when he reaches the stairs as he goes up the stairs to the roof. His hand reaches for the door handle as he swings it open, a cold but gentle breeze of cold air rushes into the door.
"It feels great…" Naoki commented with a tired yet soft groan.
"Hey sleepyhead." A feminine voice calls out.
Naoki didn't register her voice at first, turning around to see Ayameko, standing out in the sun underneath a black umbrella. She always carried one on her but nobody dared to ask what it was even used for in the first place.
