>>5836825In the time spent together a strange spark of a feeling starts to rise in your chest. It's a glimmer of joy. You've spend so much time sharpening your skills for the next fight, your mind envisioning the next opponent. Things have been moving so fast that it's made it easy to distract yourself from how much you miss your home.
Looking across the diner table at Kobe you fail to find the words to express what you want to. You're just grateful to spend some time talking to someone normal.
The two of you step outside. She turns back towards Kasparov. "Back to work. Uncle Ivan gets annoyed if I'm gone too long."
You smile. "Thanks for hanging out with me today, Kobe. I had a good time."
She bounces right back at you. "Me too! You should go home and take it easy. You probably got like, four different concussions yesterday. Seriously."
You rub the back of your head. "Right, I'll do that. Later."
Waving goodbye you go your separate ways.
The next week passes by. Per sensibility, you actually mostly stay back at the motel while you heal.
That's when you recieve a text message from Mr. Yamashita.
"Dear Billy, congratulations on passing your exam. Satoshi is unbelievably tough. Lots of fighters would have failed against him. Good choice deciding on being trained by Misasa next as well! For your training with him we will be sending you to an island location, the home of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament."
"The what-now?" you say aloud to no one in particular. It sounds familiar, and also mysteriously badass.
The rest of the message reads as follows. "In two days a driver will arive at your motel in the early morning and take you to a ferry where you'll be transported. Until then do your best to remain injury free. Misasa's training regime is legendary among the Bodyguards."
You've got your next set of instructions. You're also more or less healed up. In large part thanks to routine medical care from Association Specialists.
What do you want to do until it's time to go train with Misasa?
>A. Call Mr. Yamashita and see about viewing a Kengan Match. Might be a good idea to get a read on some of your peers.>B. Call Sammy and have him dig up information on the next assassin. You've captured the Snake, but the Turtle, Tiger, Dragon and Phoenix still remain. >C. See what random shenanigans you could get into in downtown Tokyo.
