Claus bought Jōichirō Yukihira's cooking skills and helped with the cooking, which was also a factor in the bonding process. He was thinking of what he said about the gentle fist and that reminded him of Naruto, then he smiled remembering one of his childhood anime but that smile turned into a shocked face.
"Fuck! I wasted three years maxing all out those skills! When it would've been faster to use Shadow clones!" he felt stupid smacked his head, but it was too late to regret it now and could only sigh in defeat from his idiocy.
"Is something wrong?" first time hearing Claus swear Akisame came into the kitchen and asked.
"Sorry for my language. I just realized my mistake that cost me three years." Deeply sighing he answered.
"Hmm...There was a quote that goes like this "Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad." So don't worry about it. Where here for you when you're in a pinch." Akisame said patting Claus's shoulder reassuring him that it was alright. He sniffed today's lunch and smiled. "So when is lunch ready?" he asked.
Claus hearing Akisame's wise words didn't brood over it anymore, but when he heard the last question he laughed. "Pfft, hahaha!" After he was done he looked at Akisame and answered. "Just call everybody it's ready." finishing up the last touch of the dishes.
Over the one year, Claus was able to get Shigure to eat with them at lunch. Abit reluctantly agreeing to Claus's plead, she was able to enjoy the lively atmosphere of it. Plus the delicious food was also a factor, which Claus used to get her to join them.
Flashback...
"Miu-chan let me cook this time," Claus said tying his hair up and putting the apron on.
Everyone was surprised that Claus wanted to cook. Miu wanted to say something but held her tongue when she saw how good he looked in an apron, so she just timidly nodded.
After a while later...Claus brought out the food that was sparkling with the smell holding their noses hostage, making their mouths cry, and stomach rumble in sadness that it didn't have that delicious food inside it.
After putting the plates around they each took a bite. They paused then...Boom! the foodgasm!!!
They furiously chowed down their plates but were saddened that it was all gone they all look towards Claus with puppy eyes. Who just smiled and went to the kitchen then brought back a more big pot of it.
Miu was stunned the food was delicious! This rose Claus's place in her heart. Firming her fists she asked Claus. "Claus-san?"
Claus looked towards Miu and smiled. "Now now, Miu-chan, I told you to call me Claus-Nissan."
Miu looked down and timidly said "Cl-Claus-n-Nissan." Then continued to ask"Can you teach me to make dishes like this?" she looked at Claus with stars in her eyes.
"I wouldn't mind," Claus replied to her then told her that he would teach her some dishes in dinner time.
Flash back end...
Everyone was gathered on the table with Claus coming out of the kitchen with the last plate. He put it down and took his seat. Everyone said "Itadakimasu!" and ate their foods.
After eating and thirty minutes of waiting for it to digest...Claus looked towards the masters.
"Can you guys attack me? With the will to kill!" Claus dropped a bomb. He was serious.
"What's all this about Claus-Kun?" Akisame was the first to ask. Seeing the seriousness of the matter towards Claus.
"Claus want Apachai to hurt him?" Apachai childishly asked.
"You won't hurt him Apachai he's also a Master remember? But I agree with Apachai even though you are one doesn't mean you could take on all of us. So why?" Sakaki looked at Claus.
"Yes, Claus-Kun, why do you want all of us to attack you?" Kensei Ma also asked. While trying to take a picture of Shigure's panties.
Swish!...Clink... "Ahh! My precious camera!" Kensei Ma yelled.
Shigure quickly slashed the camera and sheathed her katana then looked towards Claus only saying a few words. "Dangerous...Why?" Touchumaru also joined in "Chu! chu!" he squeaked.
"What a daring young one," Hayato added in enjoying his sweet whilst stroking his beard also waiting for an answer.
Claus smiled hearing that the cared about his well being, then turned serious again. "I wanted to practice a technique called ultra instinct. It's an ultimate technique that separates the consciousness from the body, allowing it to move and fight independently of a martial artist's thoughts and emotions." he gives them his reason for this, even though he got the ability from his magic it doesn't mean he is fully able to utilize it to it's finest that it can go.
Another bombed dropped.
