"And what has our local Sensei done now?" The man asks with ill concealed frustration.
"Lewd groping of a well respected fruit vendor and escape from the deputy's incarceration." You reply. "I have no quarrel with anyone here except the pervert."
"The boss will have to make the decision. But I daresay you do not have to look far for a pervert in this area." The man says with a slight smirk. Probably the most friendly this guy gets.
"Well, none of you have groped one of the people I'm in charge of yet." You counter, trying to ignore where the majority of the bandits' attentive gazes are focused.
"When one of them inevitably do?" He asks,
"Then I'll do my duty." You take a step forward, "and bring them in."
The man smiles proper. An expression which is quite unsettling on such a stoic face. "Excellent."
He sheathes his sword and bids you do the same with a gesture, you do not comply but a woman's voice calls out form the tavern doorway. The person themselves staying out of your sight, "Are we to understand that you defeated Ishi single handed?"
Squinting in the direction of your speaker, "Yes. I did."
"Well then we release him to your custody." She pauses, "If you can repeat the feat."
The blonde headed man tosses Ishi sans turtle shell into the ring. He stumbles before writing himmself, "What the hell? I teach you all and you throw me to her?" He can't believe it, "Because I pinched a woman's ass?"
"But, deputy." The woman talks over Ishi's complaining, "In our generosity, the winner of this contest shall become our sensei." She chuckles, "A battle to the death for life and a job! How much of a generous Queen am I?"
"That's ridicu-" You begin before you notice Ishi get into a combat stance. Lord in Heaven this is seriously happening.

He comes at you faster than you thought possible, a blur of orange shirt and tanned fists as he dleivers powerful jabs into your stomach. Getting your arms up before his double palm strikes probably saves your ribbs from being shattered, as he puts a bit of his power behind the blow.
The bright light stings your eyes as it impacts against your own power and you are sent back two steps in the dust. Your bare feet being slashed apart by the years of mixed in stones and glass; you stand firm. Ishi is fighting for his life.
Well, you'll have to do the same, time to kill - "May God have mercy on your soul Ishi."

He doesn't respond with words as you close in, he just starts screaming out as if he discovered osme horrible truth about the world. The roar of a warrior charging into battle.
His fists are clenched at his side as you move in and deliver a storm of red tinted fists across his abdomen and head. Not even a flinch as your deluge of blows land, but you begin to notice that his muscles are beginning to bulge beneath his clothes. Whereas you towered over him in height before he is rapidly closing the height gap while his screaming lasts.
This is unsettling to say the least.

His power is coating him, you can practically taste it, the raw almost bitterness infesting the whole area. A couple of onlookers legs begin to shake as he continues his dsplay, his shirt ripping as his muscles outgrow the shirt he wears.
You begin to feel a great weight on you, like the beginnings of a migraine as his power climbs ever higher and dwarfs your own. It's different to that monster you were fighting; whereas i's strength was all physical and primal - this is the finely honed ability of an old soul. He may have been kicked out of the sword wizards' school, if that is a thing. But he is far more learned than you.
He's taken that tuition down a different path, intead of turning his power outward like he taught you and did with that palm strike - it's flowing inwards. He's enhancing himself and pushing his body beyond it's capability.
You're outmatched.
But you can't help but feel a little excited at testing yourself.

Okay then, fist fighting a giant -
Everything goes black for a second as a fist bigger than your head rams into your skull. Like a battering ram, your face caves and swells at once as you bounce off the ground.
Upside down you can't help but notice the leg that's going coming up/down at you as you are punted into the onlookers. Thankfully you only are in slight agony due to the two people you landed on who are now dead.
The crowd run away when you rise with red smoke exploding out of you, despite your battle wounds you shred the outer layer of your kimono under your power, the red fabric floating in front you like bloodstained rose petals.
Scarlet light explodes out of your formerly Emerald eyes

You grunt and strain and bite and kick and struggle with all you've got. The wriggling on serves to widen a wound in your arm that you were unconcious when you recieved; a large stake of wood shining crimson as it skewered your bicep in the fall.
Somehow despite all that you're holding your sword in a vice grip, even when your knowledge of anatomy protests that holding anything with your arm in that state is impossible.
Like a coming storm your ears pick out the vibrations of the rubbles around you, slow and methodical. He's coming for you. Stomping through the wreckage like some monster.
"Suka-chan. You look horrible." A voice cries in despair. The tattoo on your intact arm sends spikes of agony through your arm as part of it rips and bleeds out like a black coiled serpent floating in the air. "Guess ya got in over yer head?"
You're frantically gritting your teeth not to scream and give away your position.
Mimihagi said he'd only be able to talk when he wasn't with the other guy - but you get the sense he hurried here when he felt you getting your ass beat; b]"Hmmmm you got enough raw power... but ya not been taught anythin besides how to make it come out. So, I'll just give ya an ace up your sleeve." You get the impression of a frown, even though you're talking to what amounts to a line of ink parted from your arm, "How's a spell tickle yer fancy? Just focus all your power into your hands, then when you feel ready - say somethin' important t'ya. Make sure it has a meter though, it helps release the energy in the right rythym y'know?"
You gasp in pain and almost let the scream you're holding loose. "Yer quiet. Guess I'll take it as my cue to go. Try not to die 'fore meetin' yer bro now Suka-chan. Ciao!"

From dust ye were made, to dust you shall return. Charging Duster
Red dust flies out from you in all directions the friction wearing away the concrete, paper and wood around you in a matter of seconds. Pulling yourself to your feet amidst a void of devestation from your technique, you notice that you're on the outskirts of town.
Aparently you were beaten through someone's house. The horrible implications have to be put aside for now, because the giant glowing form of Ishi is coming down the hill flanked by the bandit onlookers.

BEAU-SEANT, BEAUTIFUL SAINT!
1. The black and white standard or war banner of the order of the knights templar, signifying death unto foes and fairness to friends and allies
2. The war cry of the knights templar
It's exact meaning has been lost in through the times but most likely it comes from médieval french and has a meaning similar to "Be noble" or "Glory unto the Lord".
Otherwise we already have a cry -

Behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Sacred Scythes!
The intonation takes the wind from your sails as the power leaves your body. Four scythes from in the air out of your red energy spinning and slicing the air and radiating bloodlust as they streak frowards towards the hulking form of Ishi. He seems to heistate for some reaosn and that is when three of the weapons embed themselves across his chest.
The magical weapons seem to eat through his energy before plunging into him and covering the bandits nearest him in a satisfyingly large wave of blood. You clench the handle of your sword as the fourth seems detsined for decapitation, only stopped by the pervert's last minute flinch. His glasses go flying from his face and where once lay an impressive white beard now is only a gaping wound.
He begins running at you; even though he is still slowed by his new size, the sensei is coming.

You bring your power to bear and feel it all bursting into a towering inferno in the sky. It is impossible to see from the crimson fire spiralling around you and up into the sky. But the swirling vortex of energy that is causing Ishi to step back with his mouth agape stops, as if someone hit the pause button on a VCR.
You prepare to channel the sheer unmitigated power of Godly fury when the world seems to blur away. Where once you were dressedin a shredded and bloody kimono you now are dressed in black, with your long red hair tied backwards.
Your feet are covered with black comfortbale shoes and your body is clad in a familiar robe. Below you, a moonlike surface of purest white. No craters, imperfections of blemishes can be seen for miles around. Moving your head up shows you the ground.
Far, far below.
You are upside down, above a grand modern city dominated by what can only be described as the finest cathedral ever designed. It boasts three spires.
Two paired off as brothers, reaching out to the heavens and bearing gargoyle esque effigies of crusaders and saints in action; doing their divine duty.
The third is domes off and colossal, depicting Mary in all her virginal and pure perfection. Unspoiled by age, or even the elements - the undoubtedly ancient illustrations all seem to call out to you and thank you. You feel a deep sense of contentment as you stair into the enamel, stained glass and painted works. Choirs sing out in equal parts mourning, jubilating and warning.
You cannot see it from your position on the underside of the moon; but you know what lies upwards. Between you and heaven, the true heaven. Is Hell. A molten brimstone laden wasteland of firestorms. It dwarves the city in its gargantuan encompassment. It stays, always watching and observing. A distinct statement of certainty in it's ever present and conspicuous domain.
Hello Sukāretto Sutorenjā, I bid you welcome. A male voice says smooth as silk.

Who am I? Dear Sutorenjā-Sama. I am you.
Turning around you see an angel. Clad in golden shimmering plate armour, there are no semas or imperfections along the impressively heavy metal. In his hand is a greatsword with a divine silver light that emnates from the blade, the handle seems to be made of flame. Not golden, not white, but red. The same deep red as your soul energy,
The man himself? He is the most beautiful man you have laid eyes upon or imagined. Cheekbones are strong but not overly prominent, his eyes are full of warmth and compassion - though right now a little spark of amusement and excvitement lies within. You get the impression the dark short hairstyle is not natural to him and that you have caught him in a state of flux.
He spreads open his arms wide, his six wings spreading alongside them in a gesture of friendship.
I wished to congratulate your pogress. Please, continue doing my Father's Work. He smiles, but you sense hidden pain, My name, is Lucifer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgxJMpyP9qI
You are back into the real world and a blue wave of energy harmlessly impacts your red twister of energy. It explodes outwards in a dome of utter soul power and you raise your off hand and recite the incantation; adding the spell to the encroaching dome of your energy.
"From dust ye were made, to dust you shall return. Charging Duster. "
The spell combines with your energy and the tiny little motes of ash that erodes away the world around you into smooth, unblemished perfection washes over Ishi and two of the bandit observers who got too close.
You cut the spell off once you lose sight of them, a perfect expanse of emptiness forty feet across, smoothed over from your spell's ministrations. Ishi and the two bandits don't even leave bodies behind, so thorough is the spell's effect.
Unable to stand, you collapse to one knee as the energy of a week of starvation and a marathon comes out of your reserves at once.

It takes you some time, but you stab your sword into the smooth dirt, leaving your mark on the remarkably blank aftermath of your explosive attack. Hauling yourself to your feet you see the bandits approaching.
"That's a lot of steel." You think casting a wary eye over the reflected light, "But DEUS VULT." Is the only answer you give yourself. Yanking your blade form the dirt and twirling it until both hands grip it tight. Your knuckles are white as you point it to the sky by your side, ready to take as many down with you.
"Now everybody is that any way to treat your new Sensei?" A buttery sweet female voice asks. The crowd parts muttering, while a white haired woman in a long flowing kimono you'd attribute to a noble in these weird parts - emerges with the black haired guy you noticed earlier by her side. "Welcome to the family." She says clapping her hands, closing her eyes and tilting her head with a slight giggle. "We'll get you a room and give you a few days to recover before your first lesson."

"Fine." You say to which the lady squees.
The ground rapidly comes up to meet you and it is with a distinct whoosh a pair of arms catch you by the shoulders.
The pale black haired man from before allows you to lean on his shoulder as the lady begins ordering the men to get back to their posts with a sing song innocence that is quite frankly more intimidating than if she were shouting and swearing at the bandits.
"That was truly exceptional, stranger. I must confess I thought you were dead." Your escort says as you watch the bandits move ahead in groups of four or five back to what they were doing.
"That makes two of us. Stranger." You admit coughing into your fist. With ginger movements you place your sword back into it's scabbard.
Being led back up the hill you can't notice a series of craters in a perfect line that leads through multiple houses. You think you realise just how badly you got fucked up.

"Name's Sukāretto Sutorenjā." You mutter by way of introduction, to which the man raises hi eyebrow suspiciously.
"Kattā" He replies as he guides you to the right of the tavern. "Welcome to Lady Thievery's Band." He deadpans.
"What am I in for?" You ask,
"As sensei you will be respected and honoured." He pauses in his weird stilted speech, "So long as you're willing to teach all these killers, murderers and madmen how to be better killers, murderers and madmen."
"You don't seem like a madman." You say as he slide sopen one of those paper panel doors for you.
Kattā wait for you to disentangle yourself before responding,"Naturall that would make me one of the other two." He bows low in the manner everyone here seems to love, "Goodnight Sutorenjā-Sensei."
The blackhaired swordsman walks off leaving you ponder what kind of situation you've stumbled into.
And this guy just sent you to bed with no supper and it's not even 2pm! Oh and you're apparently Lucifer. That's fun.
