[attr="class","Im"] [attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Ronin for Hire [attr="class","rhythm"]  |
Nox had been correct to put some trust in Megumi. Still a little surprised when the woman reached out to bring her in on the current….acquisition, Nox was happy to agree. Walking on the other side of the law was nothing new to the woman. In fact, she quite prided herself on her ability to “stick it to the man” as some said. With the world full of those trying to oppress others, Nox found joy in going against the grain. Admittedly, it was yet to come back at her too harshly and although she wasn’t foolish enough to think it never would, the young warrior could not help herself. Throwing a wrench in the gears of society and even criminal organizations made her smile.
So did the bubble tea currently in her hand. Bright pink and tasting of strawberry, the beverage was a favorite of hers. Standing out in stark contrast to her black, customized hakama, the outfit painted her as one who practiced the arts to those experienced yet too many with an untrained eye, it was simply a taste issue. At each hip she wore a blade, but thanks to the enhancement of “shrink” both were roughly dagger size and hidden amongst the folds of fabric. People tended to look twice at a woman wearing two full length katanas at her sides. On a day like today, Nox wished to avoid the extra attention…for now at least.
Arriving at the time they discussed, Megumi was easy enough to pick out regardless of the attire she chose to wear. Nox’ own height was above average, Megumi stood taller than her still….and alongside the servant of kindness was another, far shorter woman. Who appeared to be lounging against the other? Perhaps the two were intimately involved in some way or close friends. Caring little so long as this all benefited her, the ronin closed in until she came up behind the bench at which both sat.
”Hello, Megumi.” Making the two aware of her presence if they were not already. Glancing down, getting the first real glimpse at the pink haired woman, she was as fair as Megumi was. Smooth skin, striking eyes and a strange albeit cute little pout on her face. Nox once again was glad to have connected with Megumi if this relationship was to help her grow connections for the less than lawful activities she enjoyed. ”Care to introduce me to your….our associate?” She then asked with a visible scan of the pink haired woman, sipping her tea as she looked Mira over. A forward individual herself, she did nothing to hide the assessing glare and in fact, let it be known she was taking stock of the stranger and soon to be partner in crime. Nox judged everyone.

Nox found this one so curious. Open about her servitude to her Mistress, Megumi was also willing to serve the ronin if she heard things correctly. Pausing in their little exchange, the raven-haired fighter let her head tilt to the side. So curious was this one and quite an offer if one wanted to abuse it even if Megumi gave herself an out. Chuckling some, Nox was already shaking her head in disagreement before the two squared off again.
”We will benefit from one another so long as the situation allows it. While I can respect you have a Mistress, I myself do not follow anyone nor do I expect anyone to be beholden to me outside what benefits us both. As a student or a partner sure, I have no issue taking charge, but the word tool is a tad to far. Lets us be mutual partners for now.” She concluded, setting out there not as an offer, but how she planned to view things. As a self-proclaimed ronin of the modern era, no master to answer to, forcing servitude on anyone else was something she disproved up. Would that stop her from potentially using Megumi to her advantage? Well no, but as convoluted as the line might be, Nox walked one side of it.
From there the two reengaged, trading off strikes and parries for the better part of the three hours. This first session would be at large used to judge where they would start their progress. Megumi and Mercy possessed greater talent than the average shmuck, but there was plenty of room for improvement. If the woman continued to pay, Nox would continue to teach her. See? Not a tool, but an asset to be utilized. Again, whether others disagreed or not, Nox saw it as different. She refused to embody the aspects of society that she so loathed.

While the first young woman seemed off put by her forwardness, the second was far more bold in her approach. Speaking her name as if testing the word, the ronin looked to regard the newcomer. Her eyes stood out first and foremost, but Nox looked beyond the strangers fair features and dark hair. ”A pleasure, Calli.” She responded in kind. Letting the woman say her piece after that, Nox allowed herself to smile quite honestly as her initial response to the statement.
Still smiling as Calli took the strawberry tea to give it a sip, Nox looked back to the screen before speaking again. ”I agree. They are false idols for many and how odd is it that people gather to cheer on those not even legally eligible yet?” She snorted some and took a sip of the hopefully returned tea herself. ”Tch.” Agitation in her voice as she looked back to Calli.
”Don’t get me started on those with a license. What is your take on that? The legal protection they receive and all that.” Eyes tilted to regard the woman fully, wondering where it was this one stood. Unafraid to share her opinions, Nox was not foolish enough to spout her mouth without knowing if she was talking to someone she shouldn’t.

Nox felt the first of her strikes defended against by Mercy, proving that she knew how to maneuver with the sword in her hand. The second one slapped the tall woman. No effort to actually hurt her, that not the point of this exercise or the craft at all, Nox kept up her mini assault. With a new pupil, even one as interesting as Megumi, Nox was unsure on what she even had for a base skillset. Proper with her manners, polite with how she addressed a woman she barely knew, and forward enough to not cower like so many others, the teacher saw what she wanted.
That same forwardness and Nox’s allowance of the woman’s free quirk use awarded the ronin with a deeper example of what Mercy could do. She felt the coolness in the air, the continued drop in temperature, but she thought it cosmetic above all else. Then their swords froze together. Small smirk evident on her face, thinking the application of this Soul Energy useful with a blade, she soon felt that hand pressed to her chest. Cold radiated across her torso, she let her smirk turn into a smile now. ”Impressive. Can I assume it lets you access more than these cool, icy elements?” Head tilted some, she then decided to show a bit of her own talents.
”I have my own ways to enhance my swordplay.” Hand still on her own blade, all she required was a simple word. ”Ignite.” With the command, her wooden blade did as she commanded it and began to burn. The flames weren’t out of control, quite minimal in fact, just enough to cover the wooden sword, but also enough to melt the ice that bound them together. Pulling the weapon free, she stepped back and took a look at it, watching the wood crackle for a moment before she let her focus wane…and the fire rapidly diminished to nothing. ”I think in a few ways, if this works out that is, we can benefit one another. Would you agree, Mercy?”
In this world for herself mostly, Nox saw potential here and something she might…take advantage of in the same way Mercy would utilize her skills to better her own. Not the type to openly use and dump someone without reason, the ronin did look for what she could use to better her goals and station. First though, the training that was promised. ”Again.” She ordered as Nox picked up another training sword, motioning for Mercy to come at her. It was going to be a busy and productive day.

[attr="class","Im"] [attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Way of the Blade [attr="class","rhythm"] |
Megumi said nothing to chastise Nox’s shared views. Honestly, it was refreshing compared to the opposition she often encountered. Too many in the world believed the rhetoric of the masses, the establishments that ruled and set rules for all. Nox preferred her own path in life, one that might cross the lines of legal and illegal, but in return granted her all freedoms. A criminal by many standards, the swordswoman considered herself a free spirit. Megumi at least, free and open in her own beliefs, did nothing to squash what it was the ronin was selling.
On top of that she agreed to commit her time. Once more offering her word as a binding agreement, Nox was ready to hold it to her loosely. As serious as she sounded, the slightly chaotic woman was known to allow exceptions when she deemed the subject worthy of them. Nothing further came on the woman’s mistress, not at the moment or beyond the small sound of curious pleasure. Pleased with that alone, for the time being, Nox figured it was indeed time to shift to the reason Megumi was here in the first place.
Stepping back to take her stance as her newest student took the wooden training sword, Nox’ brow raised when Megumi offered to show her ladies “countenance.” Nodding acceptance, fine with letting the woman show off whatever she wished, the prayer or ritualistic words were a surprise second only to the transformation that overtook Megumi.
The air in the dojo shifted, the very air chilled as Nox saw her breath escape in small, light puffs. A few of the hairs along her neck rising with excitement, Nox’s golden eyes sparkled alongside the smile that formed on her face as Megumi shifted like the temperature. Gone was her soft blue skin and replaced by black, bones either visible or projected onto the surface. Even her outfit transformed with her appearance, far more fitting for the new look. And lastly, the very blade in her hand shifted in color and design, that last part a straight shot after Nox’s heart.
Explaining this was her Lady’s gift, a manifestation in a quirk, the information came with a small request. ”As you wish, Mercy.” Obliging the name change for she respected individuality in most forms. Then, without further prompting, she came forward. Tracking her movements, catching the swing and crescent shape to the strike, Nox shifted her arm and tilted the wooden sword in her hand to intercept. Deflecting it, for it wasn’t an attempt at a true lethal blow, she felt the strength behind it though. ”Fluid form. I can work with that.” Stepping right, circling the taller woman, hands up in the air for a moment to feel the cool touch, she cocked her head again at Mercy.
”Now, defend, Mercy.” With that Nox stepped in from her left, sword slapping in for Mercy’s side then she stepped left as she withdrew the blade before stabbing it back in, this time higher for the woman’s shoulder. Timed strikes, giving Mercy time to react, the idea was to test how she reacted now if she could block or parry perfectly. As she struck she spoke. ”This soul energy of yours, can you utilize it in offensive ways or to enhance a blade?” She wanted to know, could it be used in combat or to enhance her training. Nox’s own quick could, but she was yet to reveal that.

[attr="class","Im"] [attr="class","really"] [attr="class","exhausted"]Open Beliefs [attr="class","rhythm"] |
Curiously enough, only Kindness was embodied by a singular individual, Megumi in this case. The other thirteen fundamentals were spread throughout society in various quantities. Listening, understanding that by the woman’s own words, Megumi was different and exceptionally blessed by her Mistress. The Lady of Kindness operated differently and that set her apart, her avatar also apart. Uncertain if all of this was true or to what depth regardless of her interest in the uniqueness of it, Nox accepted the answer for what it was.
Thinking she understood further, she realized she might have mistaken this “Mistress” as an ideal alongside potentially an actual individual. From her perspective, the beliefs of the woman were borderline cultish. Not that she planned to call her out on it. Cults or belief systems outside the norms of society tended to be observed through a skewed lens. Nox on the other hand, thought they should be free to thrive. Who was to rule over someone’s thoughts and beliefs? Considering herself a woman with no master in this world, she would not step on another in that way unless it directly benefited her. Then she made exceptions in defense of her own beliefs.
However, when the term Authority was used, Nox’ nose crinkled some. She disliked that word and everything it represented in her life. Unsure how Megumi meant it, she decided not to question it at the moment. If any sniff of the authorities or anything close showed itself she would shut that down quickly. Megumi felt honest thus far though and if the woman was about to spring some sort of trap on her…well, Nox would ensure her head rolled from her shoulders immediately afterwards. That brought them to the question on taking a life.
Megumi paused to think on that one, weighing her response internally before offering anything. Clever. Running your mouth too freely when it came to taking lives was a good way to warrant lots of unwanted attention. Nox herself had a history of underground activities, but she refrained from gloating about them much of the time, at least when not in the proper company. Clicking her tongue at the answer, head slowly nodding to the admittance that she was yet to take a life, but would when required to, the ronin could respect that. No psychopath or mad murderer, Nox also held no reserves about ending someone if it served her.
”Agreed. One must defend herself if presented a threat, regardless of the source in my opinion. I know that the standard view of heroics might suggest otherwise, but there is a reason those righteous voices speak so openly against violence when they are legally allowed to enact it.” A bit of her distaste for modern society leaking out, Nox let her smile reform after the statement. ”But I won’t bore you with my opinions on that. I will admit I am curious to meet this Mistress of yours…if she has physical form, but if she is from the beyond herself….I will wait until my time comes.” Probing a bit to finally nail it down if Megumi’s Mistress was physical or spiritual, Nox had turned away from the woman regardless.
Heading to the rack, she reached for one of the small wooden training swords. ”Give me a few months of your time and I can ensure, if you have talent for it, you will know how to answer your ladies call with a blade as well as any other method. Fair?” She asked before she flipped the stick in her hand to offer the handle to Megumi. Less than judgmental of her client’s choices, different from the norm on the streets, Nox wouldn’t drag out the point. She believed she knew enough and was ready to begin should Megumi take the blade.
”Two hours. Three times a week. That is our schedule. The days can vary if you require it, but anything less than six hours a week and your progress will be slow. Understood?” Stepping back, this session different from her standard, uniform practice, she stripped out of the outer jacket of her outfit. Tossing it aside, left in a tight-fitting black tank top, Nox’s toned arms and shoulders were now exposed, proving her talk was backed up with years of conditioning as she reached for a wooden sword of her own. ”Now. Come at me so I can gauge your natural affinity for the blade.” From there she shifted sideways slightly, practice sword brought up and at an angle while she waited for Megumi to attack.

In her experience, those with physical gifts whether it be build or beauty, both of which Megumi possessed, humility and obedience were rare. Instead, the walk-in was quick to agree to Nox’s demands when it came to training. Not missing the choice of the words “I vow,” the ronin’s head tilted slightly while maintaining that eye contact. ”I promise to hold you to that vow.” There was a mixture of playfulness and finality in her words. Strict with her teachings, but Megumi was different from the average student because of the woman’s sudden appearance and because Nox found her interesting. Perhaps that was why a bit of the woman’s natural personality cracked through the surface of the regimented sensei.
Something about the soft intensity in Megumi’s eyes and the lack of hesitation in her words led Nox to believe her. She wanted to know if there was more to that intensity than her prim and proper exterior. Servitude to a mistress didn’t by definition make you weak. Nox supposed it depended on who the master was.
Catching that smile and the bit of excitement that crept into her voice when asked about this Mistress and her message, it was Nox’s turn to fold her hands behind her back and listen. There was emotion in this woman and she wanted to let it flow.
Learning that regardless of her servitude, Megumi was open to the ideals and perspectives of others. Kindness was the focus here, in all its facets and by the new student’s words, a part of the whole. One of the 14 fundamentals, this kindness that Megumi chose to embrace in the world, was but a part of something greater. Thinking she might have misread this one, the shift towards the end of her answer, acknowledging that death in her view was the greatest kindness, Nox found a small smirk curving her lips. She wanted to know more, she felt she was starting to understand this woman better.
”That is an interesting take on kindness. I will admit, I am fine with the beliefs of others, but do not agree when they try to force them on me.” Shrugging her shoulders, she waved her hand. ”Not that you are. I asked.” Shifting to lift her right hand, holding up two fingers, she continued. ”Two more questions, because now yah have me curious. You mentioned 14 fundamentals…does that mean you have 13 sisters walking around out there?” She asked with a glance past the woman’s shoulder, playfulness still in her tone before it faded for the second question. ”And you mentioned death. Do you take a life only when it is the last option or when you or your Lady think it is best?” The heavy question was an honest one and at the same time, a small test to see if Megumi’s honestly continued.

”A mistress? What a curious thing to have.” Unsure what context came with the mentioned relationship and Megumi’s duties to the woman, Nox made a mental note to delve into that deeper. Compared to her average students this one was unique and held a certain mysterious appeal. A mistress, duties that included swordplay and not to mention the size of the woman, the ronin would be a liar if she said she did not want to learn a little more. Her approach was bold, yet the way she held those hands clasped together was so primp and proper it hinted at an abundance of discipline. An interesting mix. Nox could work with that.
”Mmmm, yes. He has earned comfort in the twilight of his life. I have chosen to continue his teachings to honor them and what he has given me. Few in this world are worthy of my time, but he is.” Even as she praised him, Nox withheld her Sensei’s name. By design, she kept the relationship between them to herself. The same way she did with her mother and father. For as devious as her desires were at times, she did nothing to bring the few she cared for into it.
Smiling in acceptance at the use of “Madame Hattori,” both hands remained set on her the hilts of her blades, letting Megumi explain why it was she wished to hone her skills. The words only furthered the warrior’s interest in this woman’s Mistress. Her statement sounded rehearsed, another show of discipline. Unsure of the woman’s actual strength, her size alone suggested she might be above average, yet she was brought to heel by another. Nox wanted to meet this woman. Against “the establishment,” Nox wasn’t against the idea of those with strength taking leadership via that strength and influence.
In an attempt to test the potential prospect in her own way, Nox began to circle Megumi, watching her movements to see if she offered anything beyond clasped hands and small nods…or if she held the obedient pose. ”If money is no option then you can definitely afford private lessons with me and I am willing to teach you, but…” She hesitated as she stepped back in front of the woman. ”…I want you to understand that kenjutsu is more than swordplay. We focus on balance, speed, control and precision, it is a discipline I do not take lightly. Will you commit if I accept you? Will you take my teachings and do them honor? I care not what means you use them for, only that you stay true to the core of what I teach you. If you can agree to that, we can start today.” Nox’s eyes met Megumi’s, stern and direct with a spec of a challenge in them. A forward woman herself, she expected others to meet her code if they wished to learn from her.
Should Megumi agree and Nox hoped she would, the woman’s smile would return. ”Excellent. Do tell though, what is your Lady’s message? The fact you mentioned there are those who reject it has me quite curious.” Smile shifting to a grin. ”You might be surprised, but I often find others who disagree with my views on the world as well. However, I think that is because so many think so small.” Unafraid to be honest as well, the ronin was curious if this woman and her mistress went against the grain like she did.

Nox heard approaching footsteps and turned to regard the source. She found herself looking up to meet the stranger’s features. Average in height, it was still on the rarer side for the ronin to look up at another woman to such an extent. Receptive to random encounters, accustomed to it considering her position as a part-time teacher, she returned a small smile as Megumi introduced herself. Looking down to regard the phone before honey colored orbs rose back to Megumi’s face with a curious smile.
”And what might a tall drink of water such as yourself require a blade for, Megumi?” As she spoke, both hands went to rest comfortably on the hilts of her twin blades. Clearly comfortable with them, the question was a playful one over anything else. Whether the woman possessed an answer or found the question odd, Nox soon continued. ”Here at Nippon budokan we teach kenjutsu. The old man has quite the talent for it even if he lacks the speed he once did.” Another pause came with a visible scan of Megumi’s tall frame.
”That being said, I take students as well and my schedule is more open than his. What would you use it for? Be honest. I have a harder exterior than most think. I’m Nox by the way, Nox Hattori.” Curious and somewhat playful smile back on her face, Nox wondered what fueled this request. In her experience, it took a certain drive to even take up kenpo in general, never mind when one was beyond their younger years. Children took this sort of thing as a hobby or because mommy and daddy forced them. Making assumptions about Megumi’s age, there had to be something more to why she sought out this training. Or maybe, the potential teacher just hoped there was. A bit of a surprise, like this arrival, intrigued the young ronin.

Before Nox even glanced at the sudden voice that spoke up to her side, the ronin let out a small snort of amusement followed by a chuckle. ”Almost as if that is on purpose.” She then added with no small amount of sarcasm. On screen the duo she had her eyes on were getting it together, but that did nothing to earn them favor with this particular spectator. Nox was judgemental to a fault or to a fine point if you were to ask her, so regardless of if the students pulled off a victory or not, they still lost from where she stood.
Head tilting to regard the stranger, sipping her tea, the red hair and glimmer of purple in her eyes drew Nox’s attention first before she scanned the woman’s smaller stature. Assessments instead of judgment in this case, she then looked back to the screen. ”Nox.” She offered in a rather forward manner, unafraid to share her name alongside her sentiments for the scenes unfolding in front of them. However, she already found herself annoyed and bored with the display, another grandstand for heroics in general.
With a huff and roll of her golden-brown orbs, she turned and hopped up onto the back of the park bench to better view the woman. ”Want a sip?” She would ask out of the blue, offering her pink bubble tea to the woman before adding in the same breath, ”Not a fan of heroics, I take it? Some minority thinking these days, not that it's wrong.” Voice level, Nox made no attempts to draw attention nor avoid it. She simply spoke her mind when she chose to.

For an hour now Nox had circled, like a prowling cat stalking its prey. Arms tucked behind the small of her back, with the ever-present swish of her hakama, the fledgling master was indeed watching, but not in silence like a panther. Instead, she barked out commands over the hour, instructing and demanding that her students move in unison as they practiced their drills. From the initial warmup of stretching and balance exercises to the culmination of the session when each held a shinai in hand, her feminine voice carried a presence with it that expected obedience. To say that Nox enjoyed teaching her favored style was an understatement. For the young ronin, the ability to command came with its own intoxicating allure.
Arguably fair, for she needed to be with paying customers, the fact was they had all chosen to train under her. Aggressive in her training style and forward with her approach to interaction with her students, each and everyone of the sweat soaked louts accepted the treatment for the payoff at the end of the bumpy road. As far as she saw it, the situation was win-win for all of them. Ultimately, the reason for the power dynamic was because she had earned her place at a young age while they still strove to find it. If only they would break from the norms of society in other areas beyond a less than traditional sensei, then they might realize what a crock it all was.
”Enough. We are finished for the day. Practice your drills at home and I will see you all in three days.” The gathered students were quick to welcome the end of the intensive session, a few opting to breathe and stretch before gathering their things. Gradually though they would flow out of the dojo. Nox herself had been trained here, but as the actual owner grew older, he allowed for her and others to teach their own classes for a small fee. This was not as lucrative as other activities, but it was close to her heart so she continued the practice a handful of times each week. This crowd would no doubt pass the stranger who approached outside, as her phone guided her towards the dojo.
As the students left and another individual approached, the door to the place was left open. A common practice to let the area breathe naturally, Nox set to getting things back in order. Thinking little of the laws of society, this place meant something to her, and she respected its rules because she chose to. The aging owner was one of the few people in the world she was comfortable with referring to as sensei or anything close. He had earned that respect unlike so many others. Adjusting the racks that held the shinai and quietly humming to herself, she expected her day to be done.
Dressed in black, hair up in a high ponytail with several bangs hanging free, the woman of average height sported a katana at each hip. With the majority of those she knew misled on her quirk, they suspected her choice to wear them here was because it was allowed. On the streets it became difficult to stroll with two bladed weapons so visible. In this setting though, it would clearly paint her as someone of authority alongside the press and orderly fashion of her dojo appropriate attire.

Delicious.
Despite the dark, flowing clothing that Nox wore and the near matching shade of her hair, the young ronin loved nearly any drink that came in pink. On this day the straw of a strawberry bubble tea with a hint of mint rose to her lips for another sweet sip. Brazen enough to reveal one of her favorite flavors to the world, she was more cautious about the two lone blades she normally carried on each hip. People were far more comfortable with flavorful drinks than finely edged blades.
Instead of the pair of katanas she preferred, two altered daggers sat tucked at each of her sides. Aware larger weapons would draw attention she currently did not wish for, there was no way she would leave them at home. Society was full of those who thought themselves heroes of freedom when they in fact served the very establishments that sought to block those same freedoms. As it stood, the next generation of heroics were the reason she currently made her way towards Shinjuku Chou Park. UA’s sports festival was underway and that meant the savors of the future were on display.
The mere thought of it left a sour enough taste in her mouth to nearly ruin her tea…nearly.
In the minority with her opinions or at the very least, the restricted section of Tokyo, Nox knew a small festival took place in the park to capitalize on the event. A large screen erected with vendors and fans gathered, it was as easy a place as any to catch a glimpse of this year's participants. Driven by a mix of curiosity and a desire to judge, confident and purposeful strides guided her to the gathering.
Sticking to the outskirts of the crowd, circling around behind one of the many park benches, Nox pulled up to watch the screen with another sip of her pink drink. From an initial glance it appeared that the students were divided into small groups and some sort of race. Eyes drawn to a flash of red, she looked to see a redheaded woman being taken off her feet by her overzealous male partner…and promptly dragged across the ground as he took off.
Chuckling as her lips curled up into an amused grin, Nox took another cold sip before offering a comment to nobody in particular. She simply wanted to mock. ”Each year the stock diminishes, doesn’t it? To think they still grant them legal authority to act.” The words began with a bit of amusement, but by the time she finished and added the final word, venom laced them. ”Laughable.” Whether government, school or anyone else, Nox saw how power flowed from the top regardless of merrit. This why why she served only herself.
