THE START

The bard pov

Ah what was I thinking ? no one ever beats Mr. FOX but once a fool always a fool

Now as i look around there nothing else but the screen Him and my dead body well I don't know how long this will last but I don't want to test if he can see me as a ghost.

THE BARD SYSTEM

ACCEPT/ NO

Well I will obviously accept as I move my ethereal fingers to accept

HIM

you're a ghost? now how funny what ya touching looks fun

as he says those words he sprints towards me and grabs my legs which i can feel him as he pulls me I was shocked I started to see his entire being glitches out of reality so I hurriedly click Accept

And the next thing I see is afro samurai mini chibi ? with a sword pointed at my throat thankfully as I struggle to think jinnsuke or kuma for short.

saves me as he says

Afro be calm he could just be another orphan am I right while I have the opportunity What is your name ?

Benten

I replied as naturally as I could to the two monsters of course I knew my languages so I chose a god of music as I was thinking my posture relaxed of course the two kids could never see through my lies but I've had too many death experiences to feel threatened so they noticed the confidence.

kuma pov.

As we found this kid on the side of the road of course afro as normal chose his normal killer charm but I didn't interfere of course to me he just had another face among the dead to me as he started to awake Afro placed his sword on his throat.

weirdly enough he didn't seem bothered or scared of the situation more like confused and a tint of recognition which didn't strike me as odd we are widely known in this area I'm pretty sure afro noticed something amiss not as detailed as me of course he was never one for stuff like this.

I decided to intervene in this tense moment as I try to get a friendly impression on him as I ask his name which is benten he seems to relax He is definitely not a normal orphan I also can't seem to get a read on him.

END OF POV

Now that I'm thinking this is the perfect opportunity to join the dojo so I say

Could I join your dojo ?

Kuma seemed to be thinking whether he should say yes or no eventually during a long silence he speaks

It is not my decision to see if you get a place in the dojo come with us if you want.

As kuma says those words Afro sword finally enters his sheathe which obviously doesn't comfort me.

So I go with them
