Suzune Horikita felt nervous as she approached her middle brother, who was waiting for her on the tatami with a mocking smile. She knew he was stronger than she was, but she did not want to give up without a fight. She wore her blue suit, while he wore his white one. They greeted each other with a bow and then the attack began. She tried to hit him with kicks and punches, but he parried and dodged them with ease. He realised that he was only playing with her, but he was not demoralised. He kept looking for an opening, a weakness, a distraction. But he was always alert and ready to counterattack. She felt tired and frustrated, but also determined and proud. She was no longer the same Suzune Horikita of the first year, isolating herself from the others and settling for D class. She had grown up, made friends, faced challenges. And now she wanted to prove to her brother that she was worthy of being a Horikita.
