Poor Kenichi

2 days later

The school has been nosy as of late now. The Karate club and its minions are vehemently searching for Kenichi. The Karate captain is searching for Kenichi to recruit him or destroy him under the order of the 8th fist of Ragnarok, Kisara.

I and Miu are still enjoying our lives as a bystander. Not because they didn't know us. But the opposite. They knew how strong is I and Miu.

Well, most of them didn't know who and how strong is I and Miu. But there is a strict order from the upper echelon of Ragnarok to stay away from me and Miu. The order from Ryota to be exact.

Ryota and Miu have met around half a year ago and they both have a duel, which Miu came out as the winner easily.

So Ryota strictly forbid the henchman of Ragnarok to stay away from both of us.

This strict order of him, strangely enough, creates a rumour that I and Miu are either the actual bosses of Ragnarok or the Hidden bosses. Of course, Only Ryota, Berserker, Freya, Me and Miu are the only ones that know the truth. We will not deny or confirm the rumours.

As nobody on Ragnarok openly talks about it, neither Kenichi nor Niijima knew about this.

After school this day, Kenichi is no longer able to hide away or run the captain of the karate club, so he fought the boss gorilla and won the fight.

Later that day at Ryouzanpakou -Miu and Kenichi Conversation-

"Miu, you are the strongest person around our age group. How do I get as strong as you?" Kenichi asked Miu

Every master laughed so hard at Kenichi question and Miu just wryly smile at Kenichi.

"I am strong for our age group. In that you are correct and I will openly admit and agree to that. Even the masters will agree to that statement, but I'm not the strongest" said Miu to Kenichi

Kenichi is surprised and looked at the masters and every master either nodded their heads or said yes to the statement

"As for why I am strong, I worked hard Kenichi, I worked hard since I am a child to get where I am now. And I have a reason to get strong, a goal I want to achieve, and the determination to work hard to achieve my goal" Continue Miu said to Kenichi with an expression full of determination.

While speaking, Miu imagine herself back to back with Genji fighting the enemies that had surrounded them. He protects her, and she protects him. Alone they are strong, Together, they are stronger. That is her goal.

Genji is her reason to fight and standing by his side is her goal.

"So you need to find the reason why you took martial arts, the goal that you want to achieve, and the determination to work hard to achieve them." Said Miu to Kenichi.

The masters just smiled at what Miu said, since all of them is the same as her. They have their reason and goal when they took martial arts.

Kenichi is also awed by what Miu just said. He starts to ponder his reason and what he wants to achieve by taking martial arts.

He didn't think his reason to protect himself is wrong for now, but he didn't know what he want to achieve.

"And you are wrong Kenichi. I am the strongest in your eyes because you have not met with another martial artist, especially the one that came from our age group. I am still counted as the stronger one in the outside world out there. I don't know how many are there that are stronger than me, But there are many strong martial artists out there that are around our age. While not necessarily stronger than me, many of them are strong Kenichi." said Miu to Kenichi.

"Do you know any of them Miu-san?" asked Kenichi to Miu

"I've met many of them when I was younger, but I don't know how strong they are. Right now, I personally only know 3 of them that lived near here, and the 3 of them are strong" replied Miu.

Genji, Chikage and Ryota. There is no need to ask about how strong Genji is. Chikage is weaker than her. But Chikage is younger than her and has not been in touch with martial arts as long as Miu. Moreover, Chikage is a user of the Kushinada style which she is familiar with since Genji used it a lot when they spar. So Miu knows how to counter them.

As for Ryota? Miu did not even think much about him. He is strong, but he is currently distracted by Ragnarok.

There is also Natsu, but Miu did not know him.

"Can I meet them Miu-san?" Kenichi wants to meth them to know what reason they do fight and what is it they want to be achieved. Maybe he will get an idea of what he wanted to achieve by taking the martial arts.

"2 out of the 3 people I know is not possible to be met currently. For the last one..." Miu shook her head thinking about Genji.

Ryota is busy with Ragnarok, while Chikage is still training with Mikumo. So it is not possible to meet them for now. As for Genji...

It is hard to say whether Genji want to meet Kenichi or not. The current Genji does not have interest besides training and herself. He used to be interested in drawing, but it is more of a chore for him to get money now.

She is touched by much devotion Genji had for herself, but she wished that he has more friends. As lazy as he is, he should have more human contacts other than her and grandpa, the ryouzanpakou masters, his family and the Yomi.

Wait!! Maybe she can use Kenichi! Kenichi is a human, and he wants to meet another martial artist that is around our age! He is the perfect person to get the job done! And Genji needs human connection too.

"Kenichi, the last one who lived near here. If you want to meet him, we can go to his place now" Replied Miu.

"Aah? Him? Is he your boyfriend Miu-san?" Asked Kenichi.

"What are you talking about Kenichi?" Replied Miu innocently. Genji is not her boyfriend. He is my fiance.

Suddenly Miu's phone vibrated.

"Hello... Aaah Kay... Be Careful. I know I know. Yes yes. Bye" is a series of answers from Miu when she is answering her calls.

"Sorry Kenichi, the last person also occupied by something else. He just got a job from his Master. I'll Introduce him later okay?" Said, Miu

" Aah, that is okay Miu-san. You seem to be close to each other Miu-san" Answered Kenichi

They have each other phone numbers, and from the way Miu-san was talking to the other person, they seem to be close to each other people. And to call informing her that he will be gone for a job? isn't that just like how a husband called his wife that he need to do an extra job, so don't wait up?

"We are close Kenichi, We grew up together" Replied Miu.

So, which is what Miu-san!! Is he your boyfriend or not?? That still did not answer my first question.

And why do the masters smile pitifully or have a knowing look on their faces?

Poor, Poor Kenichi. He got friend-zoned from the beginning and never had a chance, to begin with, but he still hoping to be Miu boyfriend.
