Just for you, I've added one.
Anyway... have another teaser. Since the story is still in first draft, all teasers are subject to change.
"Hey," I said, "I'm pretty sure that Tuxedo Kamen-san is a better fighter than I am."
All Ichiro said was, "Trust your sensei. Now, I want to see the two of you fight."
So we found some padding that would fit over his white-tie-and-tails outfit and I used Mirage Hide to armour up, including a helmet.
Once we were both protected from serious harm, Ichiro gave us our sparring instructions. "Chiba-san, fight the way that you normally do. Go all out if you wish. Rob, get dangerous."
"You're sure?"
"Do it."
So I used every dirty trick Vita had taught me and knocked Tuxedo Kamen onto his butt seventeen times in a row.
"If it's any consolation," I said while helping him stand up the seventeenth time, "I wouldn't be able to do this if I was fighting fair."
"Thanks," Tuxedo Kamen said sourly.
Ichiro smiled. "That's not much incentive for you to fight fair, then, is it?”
I smiled back. "I suppose not, Captain Jack."
"Who?" Yuuichirou-san and Chiba-san asked.
