Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lune then checked in on Akito one last time, before retreating to his own bed.

->Time Skip to Tournament<-

Lune finished tying the belt on his Gi. His hands then smoothed out his symbol that was printed on the left side. "Wow...it feels like I haven't worn this in ages..."

Akito smile. "And you still look as cute in it as the first day we met!"

"Aah!? Cute!? Not handsome, or charming!?" His head fell, casting his hair over his eyes. "Does this mean I haven't grown a bit?"

Akito gave a small laugh before ushering him out into the living room. "Alex-san~! You better come out let us make sure your Gi is tied properly!"

Lune scoffed. "Why is everyone say I look cute!?" He said, scowling.

Akito then pressed her thumb against the wrinkles in Lune's forehead. "No scowling, dear, or you'll age faster." She then looked Alex over. "Hmm...well, you have them on properly, but the sash should be tied like this." She re-did it for him. "See? This way, he won't come lose durign the match."

Lune sighed, the steam flowing out. "This is just what I need to boost my dignity..." He then chuckled and smiled, showing he was kidding.

"Hmm...not really. Since it's a teacher-and-student tournament, the teachers will be facing each other, and the students will fight among them selves. Though...if both you and I win hte championship of each section, we jsut might to see how well your training has gone. Either, be ready for anything!" He looked up at a map on the wall. "Hm...Well, looks like this is where we split." He held out his fist. "The fight is on!"

Akito was sittin gin the stands, waiting for the matches to start.

During the studnets' intermission, it was the teachers' fights. Lune was facing off against an opponent who was larger than him self. He didn't panic though. Throughout his match, he stayed calmed, and eventually managed to force his opponent into a forfeit. After that, his next two matches were similar. He would exude his overwhelming aura, press down upon his opponents by exploiting the holes in their guards, and forcing them to forfeit.

Akito cheered for Alex during his match. But her breath caught as she watched Lune. She gave a smile. He hasn't changed a bit... His opponents are terrified of him...as usual.

Lune watched in silence as Alex won his matches with a smirk. His aura isn't as fierce as mine, but with these kind of opponents, he'll be fine. He left to prepare for his next set of matches. On the way there, a group of business men approached. "Hm? Aer you gentlemen lost? This is the tournament hall for the Free-Style Martials Arts Trournament."

"Are you Lune Noire?" One of the suits asked.

Lune blinked. "Ah?" He narrowed his eyes. "Why are you looking for him?"

Lune glanced at Alex. "I don't know yet."

The suits looked at Alex. "Ah, if it isn't Mr. Helderman's...mistake." One of them smirked. "So, you must be Lune. Mr. Helderman would liek to talk with you, Mr. Noire. Now."

Lune chuckled and ran a hand through his hair. "Heh, is that it? Well, I'm in the middle of a tournament right now. IF he wants to talk to me, he can come here once our business here is done."

This seemed to unnerve the suits a bit, for no one refused Mr. Helderman. Except for these two.
