312. Akisame Strikes
"You are right Principle, even I think that she is becoming a more responsible teacher," Rukia said, not having shown any sweat after the incredibly fast slashes that were invisible to the principle and the three soldiers.
"Aren't I?" asked Fukijiro with a smile on his face.
"Principal, I think perhaps it would be prudent if I for me to check around the paths in case some of the children have injured themselves. As you said before, kids these days don't have much stamina. And I have little medical knowledge that would be helpful to them" Rukia suggested.
"Hmm, good idea. Then can I trust you to scout around?" asked as he grabbed his backpack back from Rukia.
"Of course I shall be back," said Rukia while bowing her head.
Seconds later the Russian soldiers were laying on the ground with broken bones as soon as they were caught by Rukia.

Another trail
"Haa, Haa" breathed Izumi, trying to catch her breath as they walked up some stairs.
"Come on we haven't walked that much" sighed Makoto, Izumi's best friend, "You really should work out more"
"Hey she's doing pretty fine for someone who isn't a sports-type" defended Sho, "You want me to carry you for a bit"
"No I will be fine I am not that frail," said Izumi as she started to walk again.
This time another group of Russian soldiers began sneaking up towards Izumi, having hidden behind some trees. One of them raised their hands towards Izumi ready when another hand intercepted it.
"The hell you think you are doing?" asked Sho in a dark tone his eyes narrowed anger.
"You are Yomi's Kano Sho? We are following One Shadow Nine Fist's Alexander Gaider's orders please don't interfere. After all, he is your master too" explained one of the soldiers.
"Oh," said Sho flatly as he let go of the hand, "Sorry, didn't know you were here on orders."
The soldier merely grunted as they began to approach Izumi again, who hadn't noticed Sho fall behind.
As the soldier's hands began to reach for Izumi, his body was sent flying into the woods by a well placed high kick from Sho.
"What are you doing?" hissed another as Sho punched another way.
"Yeah, even my main master Akira Hongo punishes me some time for not listening to his orders let alone someone else. Moreover, he has taught me to always keep innocent civilians safe from my fight, I am pretty sure he would be disgusted with me if I let you do whatever you want to do" said Sho before quickly attacking the group.
"Huh? Where did Sho go?" blinked Makoto as she turned around.
"Eh? Who Sho where are you?" asked Izumi when her phone vibrated.
Quickly picking up the phone she saw the message was from Sho himself.
"Sorry, I had a natures call to attend that couldn't wait. You guys keep going I will catch up to you"-Sho
" Tch, how crude" Makoto said
"He was being considerate" scolded Izumi

"Tch Kenichi was right, these bastards are everywhere," said Natsu to himself as he ducked under a punch and countered with a whip hand.
"What are you doing? End him and get to those girls ahead" said one of the soldiers.
"Like hell, you will," Natsu said as he attacked the guy who just called out with a double palm on his chest, "I need to end this fast"

Another location
Another group of soldiers was ready to attack another group of students when...
KAPOW
They were slammed into the forest by Ethan and Rachel Stanley. Just like with Sho the soldiers told them that they were under orders to kill everyone in Koryo High, but Rachel didn't care as her master was Smiling Fist Diego Carlo, and she listened to him only. Ethan merely decided to follow his sister's lead knowing his master would also dislike the indiscriminate slaughter of people not even related to the underground martial arts world.

One More Location
A sword slash and a kick later all the Russian soldiers were laying down on the ground around Saeko and Renka.
"Now that's done let's catch up with the others we don't know how many soldiers they brought with them so it would be good if we stay beside them," said Saeko.
"Haa..... I want to be beside Kenichi" said Renka
"So do I but that can be made up later right now these kids need us," said Saeko as she started running to catch up to the kids in the front.
"Fine!" whined Renka as she also started to run following Saeko.

Russia
Outside the Russian base.
"It has begun," said one of the soldiers while looking at the Russian base in which Alexander was hiding.
"Is it really okay to send him alone like this? Master Sakaki" asked one of the soldiers from Sakaki who was drinking Russian sake beside him.
"Huh! What did you say?" asked Sakaki as he finished his bottle of Russian vodka.
"About Master Koetsuji?" asked the Russian soldier again.
"Well since he told me he wanted to face that guy alone I will let him handle it. If he gets serious it shouldn't be a problem to take one or two bases out" answered Sakaki.
"What matters now is can you give me another bottle of your vodka?" asked Sakaki jovially.
I-I cannot" replied the soldier
"Aw, don't be so mean," Sakaki said.

Inside the Russian base.
A Russian soldier was wandering around, trying to find out what was going on. The power had suddenly been cut in the base, so he was wandering around blind.
"Hey where is the enemy!?" shouted the soldier as soon as he found someone, "I can't see anything"
The soldier waited for a reply only to hear none. He quickly reached out towards the neck, only to feel the man's head roll down from his touch. The soldier nearly screamed at that, quickly placing his fingers to the neck, only to sigh at the pulse he could feel.
"He lost consciousness while standing? How?" said the soldier and he found two more soldiers in the same condition as the previous soldier, "He's the same and he too"
