At the Hakurei compound
Rin parks her cart outside on the remarkably empty parking lot of the Hakurei compound
“Alright, here we are. Y'know i always wondered what happened to the Hakurei here. On other planets there's at least five but here there's only Sendai” Rin says conversationally as she walks with Utsuho to the doors of the compound
“It feels… lonely here, lonely and cold” Utsuho looks mildly perturbed as she shivers slightly
“Eh that's how it always is… don't know how the Hakurei deals with it. I heard her parents died as a kid so she was all alone from when she was young.. Wonder if it's true, anyway we’re here” Rin says as she knocks on a door that's one of those paper japanese sliding doors
They slide the door open and see Sendei… finishing a workout in the courtyard. Rin blushes as she puts her hand over Utsuho's eyes.
Sensei is around six feet tall and has an incredibly let's just say ‘womanly’ figure and she's covered in sweat.
The weirdest bit is she's working out in an outfit that seems ill suited since it seems extremely hot… as in temperature get your mind out of the gutter.
She has a hime haircut and wears no accessories in her hair. She wears a shrine maiden outfit except she has a hakama pants instead of a skirt. She has a sleeveless undershirt under it all, but it can't hide the countless scars on her body that peek through
Sendai looks up as she notices them
“Oh… I wasn't expecting anyone, Why are you here?” she stands from where she was doing pushups and looks at them
“Why are you here exactly? I know you have your deck Orin, or is it your license being revoked again?” She says with a mischievous tone even though her face is still blank
“NO! N-not this time at least, ANYWAY i'm here for Utsuho here” Utsuho waves. Rin leans in towards sendai and whispers “by the way she's a pet of the incident, Satori Komeiji” Sendais eyes widen for a moment
“Oh. I see. Well then come here Utsuho” Utsuho walks forward and does her little salute, once again bonking herself with her third leg.
“Mhm! Utsuho reporting for.. Something? What are we doing again?” She looks really confused
Rin nudges Utsuho with her shoulder “I just told you, bird brain. We’re to get you spell card certified and get you your blank spell cards” Sendai shakes her head, amused
“Utsuho hand me your Danmaku” Utsuho tilts her head confusedly before realizing “Oh! You mean my third leg!” She holds her third eg out to sendai as Rin freezes in both pure joy, and unadulterated horror as she hears Utsuho call her Danmaku her third leg to the metaphorical top dog of this planet
Sendai just freezes before her shoulders start shaking in rage.. Wait no she's laughing
“Woah… I-I didn't think she could laugh…” Rin says in amazement.

“Hehehe, hehe… heh whew that was good… been a while since i laughed that hard. Anyway” She grabs Utsuho’s cannon and opens a slot that neither Utsuho nor Rin knew was there and she put 6 blank cards into the slot.
Sendai mutters to herself a little
“Ok how did this go again? Oh yeah. By the power given to me by the Great Architect of Hakurei I trust these blank hopes and dreams to you, UTSUHO!” after she said that the blank cards glow rainbow for a few seconds before going back to normal
Utsuho's eyes shine in amazement as she feels almost a tether form between her and the cards
“ooh! I feel a little funny… kinda like after I ate that birdy!” Rin looks at her weirdly
“Aren’t you a hell raven? Isnt eating a bird like cannibalism?”
Utsuho tilts her head then shakes it
“No I don't think so…” Suddenly Rin feels like she's forgetting something really important
Sendai makes a weird smile as she talks again
“Now! It's time for the second part of your certification…” Rin suddenly realizes “Wait! Utsuho look out!”
Utsuho looks towards Rin
“What? Why?” Then Sendai SLAMS her fist into Utsuho and sends her into a wall, Knocking the wind out of her
Sendai gains a dark edge to her smile as she cracks her knuckles
“Y’see this is the practical test… the test where i get to beat the sh## out of you… so do me a favor and try not to die”
Itsuho has tears in her eyes from the pain, she was a pet she’s not used to pain but she raises her arm cannon and a comforting rush of energy flows into it BZZEEEEWWWW She fires but Sendai casually dodges as she rushes utsuho
“Gonna have to try harder than THAT!” Sendai jerks to the side to dodge another sudden blast. But she’s surprised as she sees Utsuho’s fist rocketing into her face with a BAM Since Utsuho’s body is made at least somewhat out of metal
But Sendai barely moves at all as she grabs Utsuho's fist and throws her over her shoulder and slams her into the ground
“O-OW! Stop it! Go away!” Utsuhos shoves her third leg into the ground and fires, causing it to break and fracture before the shattered parts of earth fly in every direction and one especially big rock slams into Sendai’s gut
Sendai coughs from the wind being knocked out of her. She stands up and stomps her feet before her demeanor changes to something more blunt and heavy as she stomps towards Utsuho, Each stomp hard enough to crack the ground
Sendai Sweeps her arm clumsily towards Utsuho but since its so slow Utsuho dodges it.
“D-does this work?” Utsuho says as she charges up her cannon again but this time instead of a laser she shoots lots of rapid fire pellets that make small explosions on impact
Sendai just walks through it like a juggernaut and once she gets close she grabs Utsuho by the collar of her shirt
“You’re Fucked” Sendai then lifts her up and starts swinging her around like a rag doll and slamming her into stuff like a few trees in the courtyard. Utsuho is in pain and starts crying from how much it hurts and how helpless she feels…
“RRAAGGHH!” Sendai lets out a shout as she throws Utsuho straight up at least 120 feet up
‘Is this how I'm gonna die? I don't wanna die…’ Utsuho thinks as she starts rapidly approaching the ground. Something within Utsuho starts burning… like a sun… ‘NO! I refuse!’ her eyes gain a brand new determination.
Utsuho’s wings fly open as she starts flying in the air… how she forgot she could do that, I don't know.
The slot in her cannon opens as she rips out a card that's glowing fiercely, reflecting Utsuho’s own determination she feels her body overflowing with nuclear power as she slams the card back into her cannon and declares her first spell card
“EXPLOSION SIGN: GIGA FLARE!”
A miniature sun forms from her cannon, she yells as she sends it towards Sendai.
Sendai herself smiles as she gets into a stance before deflecting it into the sky away from Utsuho and…
BOOM! Big boom!
Utsuho then falls out of the sky since she's really hurt and tired from using her first ever spell card. Sendai catches her before she hits the ground
“Im… I'm so tired… I'm gonna take a nap…” She snuggles into Sendai’s arms and falls asleep Rin meanwhile, has just been watching in the background
“That was kinda a di## move y'know Sendai. Last time i checked you don't use Oni style on this test… you didn't for me and all the other ones i saw at least” She looks mildly pissed of which is fair since she just saw her friend get the shi## beat out of her
“Yeah? Well your friend here is way more durable than she should be… any other hell raven wouldn't have survived that let alone have no permanent injuries”
“So you were trying to kill her!?” Rin asks in both shock and fury
“Lose the attitude dumbass of course I wasn't trying to kill her. You and I both know you need a lot of emotion, good or bad, to awaken your first spell card. And given how things have been here recently she’s gonna need at least one” Sendai puts the sleeping Utsuho on a bench
Rin's face loses its hostility as she sounds a little sheepish
“Oh yeah sorry about that hehe~... Anyway! What do you mean ‘especially with how things have been here recently’? Has another Youkai tried to become the incident here? I can’t imagine that many people are dumb enough to try and beat the scarlets especially with the lunar stuff they have”
“Wish that was all that was happening but along with that lots of things have been trying to escape hell, and that's not too bad on its own but it's worrying since they’re all wearing the same uniform. But that's not really your problem so!” She picks up Utsuho again, taking a second to wonder why she even put her on a bench, before putting her in the cart of Rin’s wheelbarrow
“Yeah I guess you're right… i should get going and dump these corpses off before they rot too much to be burnable” She starts running, once again going way over the speed limit as Sendai shakes her head good naturedly
