“Humph! Then answer already!” Maiko replied with a snort. She did not know why Fatty always lagged behind on things.

“Well, this and that are different. I do have such information, but I can not give it out for free all the time or else….. Ow! Ow! Ow! Maiko stop! I get it! I will give it for free!” Fatty was in tears. This girl knew all the weak points on his body and went for each one every time she did not like what he was saying! If it was not for the fact that they had already sealed the deal, he might have actually run away from this girl! 

Sighing in defeat, Fatty sat on the ground, rubbing his hip. He then waved Yuki and Nana to sit. When they got comfortable, he finally began speaking. “It’s like this. There is only one person other than Yuko who is too weak really to even be in the inner sect. Like Yuko, he was allowed in through the back door. Meaning his grandfather helped him get in. If I had to rank him, he would only be about a step above Yuko in power. 

“His name is Gi-chan… He is kind of an oddball. He dresses very, um, how do I say it…. Strange. He spends most of his time in the inner sect only leaving when he is forced to leave for missions or on occasions such as this. But there is one issue. This grandfather is also a grand elder. Normally Gi-chan will stay in his immortal cave and not cause trouble so not many know about him. I think he understands that he is weak so he does work hard. It’s just trying to talk to him that makes my hair stand on end.” Fatty remembered speaking to Gi-chan once, and he felt his skin crawl for over five weeks.

“I see, so what is his name?” Nana asked. She was very curious about this strange person.

“Ginga….” Fatty scratched his head. This person dressed weirdly, and his name was weird as well! He felt that maybe Gi-chan was doing it on purpose!

“So if he got in the back door, why has no one pushed him out of the inner sect? Can’t you still challenge an inner sect disciple outside tournaments, right?” Yuki asked. She thought you could do this.

“You can…. But it is not forced. It will only work if the inner sect disciples agree. Gi-chan is not willing to give up his spot, so he has never agreed. He has been asked thousands of times already. The same goes for Yuko. She also never accepts these kinds of challenges. When she does receive one, she has had her people hunt them down and beat them to the point that they are stuck in bed for six months.

“Gi-chan is not like her. He is actually quite respectful, so if you do challenge him, please do so without making him look bad.” Fatty did not want to make people out to be bad guys just because of their personal tastes.

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything too bad besides sending him flying out of the battle stage.” Nana was not one to hold grudges against those who had not done anything to her. Unless Yuki told her to kill him, then she would.

“As long as you do not look down on him, the grand elder behind him should not make a fuss. Of course, if you wish to fight someone stronger, you can also pick Senior Tama. She is quite strong. But she has the strength to be in the inner sect. I am not sure if you can win against her.” Fatty only brought up Tama because she was someone who was on the lower end of the inner sect power wise but still beatable if Nana tried.

“We will see what happens. There are only a few outer sect disciples who will be challenging inner sect disciples.” Yuki knew that not many would dare go up on stage with the inner sect disciples. Most of them had already been in the outer sect for years, so their cultivation was more solid than those of a lower realm.

“Yeah, I will wait towards the end. If none of the outer sect disciples challenge and win, then I will challenge one of the two you mentioned.”  Nana was not sure which one yet but she figured she would be able to figure it out when it was time.

“There should be twenty challenges.” A voice came from behind them. Everyone turned to look at the new arrival.

“Senior Sister Haruhi. It has been a while.” Fatty stood up and cupped his hands towards Haruhi. He had a lot of respect for this girl.

“Don’t treat me so kindly. Your girlfriend is staring daggers at me.” Haruhi chuckled as she winked at Maiko. Maiko was not jealous at all but more on guard towards Haruhi. And it was towards herself and not Fatty!

“It’s okay, Maiko just woke up. She always looks like thaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Damnit! Miako!” Fatty gritted his teeth. Did this girl need to pinch him so many times!? She really twisted the skin too!

“Haha!” Haruhi smiled as she sat down next to Yuki, only to see Nana lift Yuki up and place her in her lap. Haruhi was speechless! She wondered if she seemed like some kind of monster! Yuki, on the other hand, was even more confused! Why was she being lifted up like a baby!?
