When their new sensei arrived, Daisuke gave a slight laugh, forcing it through his teeth. [I]The guy probably just doesn't want to put in the work for two students. Honestly, I wouldn't either. A singular apprentice may be able to soak up a lot more experience.[/I] As the conditions crossed his mind, Daisuke built onto his theory of the educator's alleged laziness. [I]Five Minutes? If he wanted skill he'd say two. He probably either is too impatient or just wants a show.[/I] Smirking, he thought to himself, [I]If he wants a show, he's gonna get one. I am the perfect guy for the job.[/I] Fortunately he'd been scoping out the competition, because she struck before any indication of a start was given.

[B]"Someone's excited!"[/B] Daisuke performed a backflip as Ruri's shuriken left her hand, instantly putting distance between the two of them and passing beneath her underhanded attack. [I]Note to self: Never trust Ruri with my stuff.[/I] Daisuke finished his tumble with a three-point stance, the tips of both feet and his left hand. With his right, he drew his own shuriken, tossing it seemingly carelessly, but in reality a thin string connected to Daisuke's hand gave him all the control he'd need. He stood up and outstretched his hand, leading the star-shaped blade back toward Ruri.

[B]"There's one thing I hate more than a brat with a hot temper! Oh wait--no there isn't! [/B] Daisuke eyed her kunai, a paper bomb coated it. He'd just have to be sure to run her out of steam. All while he'd keep his cool. The less effort he seemed to put in and more suckerpunches, the better he'd look. In all honesty, the teasing wasn't for the sensei to like him, it was for fun. But, playing with a girl's emotions was a time-tested way to keep her off-balance. [B]"I swear, I don't have a clue what Kanijiro sees in you!"[/B]
