Standing in the Hino dojo, Barahime wore her fighting costume and . Around her were her students from C-Team. Morning light filtered in through the shaded windows, highlighting the bruise above her right eye which had not healed from the previous night.

They were looking at her pensively after the talking to she had just given them. Bara sighed with resolve. "Attack me!" She commanded, and the students rushed her.

Last night with B-Team was still clearly etched in her memory.

Bara's lightning-quick wing punch dropped B-Team's Konatsu as they rushed her. She dropped and spun to avoid blows from the other rushing students and quickly rose up with a cinder uppercut, stunning Maya. Briefly dodging back to avoid the rest of the pursuing class, she charged forward with her spinning wheel punch, taking out Maya.

Arisa struck Bara from the side, surprising her with the strength of the blow. Bara retaliated with a face-slapping hold, but had to pull back due to an offensive from the remaining students. Arisa caught her breath as Bara dropped those remaining students (Ando, Karen, and Akemi) with her fierce fighting.

Seeing that only Arisa remained, Bara charged forward with her wheel punch. Arisa had watched her well, ducking as the first punch came at her, then quickly rising with a strike to her defenseless side. Bara went skidding on her front across the floor. Arisa's next blow to Bara's head, knocked her down as she tried to rise.

She recalled Arisa asking her stay down, concern showing for her sensei's well-beaten form.

Bara's left and only fist impacted into Kosaka Tamaki, dropping the leader of C-Team cleanly as Kosaka's Iron Claw hovered over Bara's head.

Spinning about with a wingtip, Bara engaged the Himeyuri twins. Sango blocked the attack while Ruri launched an attack which Bara blocked. A second strike downed Sango despite her attempted defense.

Bara, entering her wheel punch spin, charged on to Himeyuri Ruri who recalled Arisa's advice. Ducking down, Ruri avoided her sensei's leading right fist and waited for the moment where she was defenseless.

Many of Bara's attacks required both arms. Without use of one, the rotations using that side are, for a moment, devoid of either offense or defense, leaving her wide open to attack. It was an easy hit for someone with the warning to exploit it.

Ruri rose up with a cinder uppercut to catch her sensei defenseless when Bara's left leg spun on the rotation, clipping her in the side of head completely by surprise. Ruri went down, her head seeing stars. Bara slipped off-balance and skidded onto the floor where her students pounced on her.

Throwing them off, Bara dove into them with a punch and kick spin, knocking down Komaki Manaka. This time, Bara remained standing and followed with a powerful cinder uppercut knocking down a second student (Sasamori Karin). Aiming for perfection, Bara spun in her modified wheel punch straight at little Kusugawa Ichigo.

Bara was suddenly airborne, her back slamming into a tatami mat. With the breath knocked out of her, she looked up to see Ichigo.

Barahime wisely tapped out, admitting defeat as Ichigo prepared a down attack. As Barahime lifted herself weakly up, Ichigo said, "Sensei-san..."

"Hmmm?" Bara groaned.

"Hino-sensei, your left arm has improved quite a bit. It seems nearly as strong as your right arm was. Are you holding back?"

"Thank you, Kusugawa-san," Bara said, as Ichigo helped her up.

Her body covered in bruises, especially from when her students had pounced on her after her slip, Bara said with steely determination, "Let's go a second round!"

The class groaned. "Can I have an egg sandwich first?" Sasamori whined.
