Nah, this happened to me back when I was at high school. I am from a civilized country, so when a Rugby game between TAC and TPAC went badly, it went badly. Normally it was just 20-30 people in 4-5 man fights, often someone would pull a knife or bat and then it went to a different kind of fight. But that time it went real wild, we smoked TPAC by 145-17, so they organized together 175 people to smash our Rugby team so badly we couldn't compete in the next championship game, someone found out so 400 odd of us turned up to fight. However the bastards at TPAC brought weapons, everything from bats to fireaxes, someone even brought a fucking sword that mad bastard. So then they rushed us, we rushed them and the largest public brawl in our town happened.
121 injuries, 17 critical, someone lost a hand to a fireaxe and I still have a scar on my left cheek from a knife slash. Thing is, nobody got arrested.
Because: a) that was more people that our local prisons could hold, b) the instigators and weapon holders were TPAC, a very wealthy private school, whoes members included the son of both the Head of the District council and the police chief and, c) no police officers cared enough to arrest us because they had better shit to do like taking care of the Gangs which were having a little spat that made this look like nothing.
Was fun as shit, and just thought that maybe I had found someone who had either been there or heard of it. But oh well, this quest is pretty bloody awesome, so keep it up/

I might have gone with the mental defense thing because of our upcoming opponent I believe uses mental illusions, but this just seems leagues better than a bonus.

Maybe she's a big cheese at Kirin, and the other delinquents there heard that their Queen of Battle got beaten by "one of those rich, privileged pansies from Raijin", that being the final straw that initiated this attack.

Hey everyone! Just a quick update.
It's getting close to the end of my Semester, so all the Final Projects and Exams are starting to come due/out.
As such, I'm afraid it's gonna take a while before the next update comes out as I try to keep up with my work while not burning myself out.

Week 5 Event: School Brawl
LinkOnScepter
The One who Strangles Concepts to death

- Interwebs
Your name is Yamato Nagai, and you have just sent your injured brother into the middle of a school wide brawl.
There's a reason behind this course of action. It is a vital step in your greater strategy. Especially considering you're operating off limited information on the adversaries. In addition, your brother has both the skills and personality required to accomplish the goals set out for him. Goals which must be carried out with the utmost skill lest the plan be completely derailed.
[Bond: Blood Ties]
But that doesn't make it better. That doesn't stop you from constantly thinking about how your brother's injuries will open up again. How he could easily be overwhelmed by the mob of students with weapons. How your strategy could fall apart and all you'd have accomplished was getting the only person in this world that you can trust seriously hurt and possibly killed.
Those thoughts do not distract you from the sight of your brother walking towards the Academy entrance, thumb raised in the air and head held high as he walks into yet another dangerous situation with reckless disregard for his own safety. Only this time, he's doing it at your behest.
Something you'd sincerely hoped to avoid.
"I can't believe you're doing this," Rishi Munagi, President of the Chess Club, and daughter of the CEO of Apexi Corporation says as she taps away on her phone.
[Invention: Ford: 20]
It's compact design and slim screen identified it as the latest model currently on the market. Likely obtained by her father and given as a birthday gift, or simply purchased at any electronics store. She taps away at the screen, apps flying by in brief flashes of colored light.
"Allow me to apologize in advance," you say while keeping your eyes on your brother's progress. He's made it to the street separating the hill you're on from the school's entrance. You left the school around 4:00 PM, it took you an hour of walking to find the theater, the movie lasted two hours, and it took you an hour to get back. The sun has since set, with the moon taking its place in the sky. The darkness gives you both disadvantages and opportunities to help your plan succeed.
"What ever for?" Munagi glances at you while her fingers continue dashing across the screen.
"For requesting your assistance in this matter. It is likely you do not wish to be connected with a foolhardy endeavor such as this," you give her a short, apologetic bow.
Munagi turns her head away as she replies, "Th-there's no need for that! I would bring shame on my family name if I turned a blind eye to this! It is only natural that I assist you in your plan."
"Ah, I see. But know that we still appreciate your help."
Silence comes over you two for a moment before Munagi continues, "In truth, the thing I don't understand is why you think your brother alone is enough to make a difference in that...mess."
You take note of how she avoids holding her gaze on the skirmish taking place in your school's yard. Though you doubt the effectiveness of her actions, considering you can hear the fighting going on from here.
"Partially correct," you answer, "First, my plan may have required Yameko to follow and assist my brother in a different way, but he is in no way completely alone. Second, do not underestimate my brother. In Chess, it is usually the lowly pawn that becomes the key to victory."
"Hmph. Forgive me if I do not hold the same beliefs. But can you answer me this?" Munagi stops tapping on her phone and turns to look at you, "Why would your brother go out of his way to do this?"
"Would it trouble you to explain your meaning?"
"I am not deaf to the events that occur both within and outside of Academy walls. Your brother's confinement is not some well kept secret. Neither is the identity of who requested it. Yet not two days later was it rescinded, while at the same time government reports come out accusing Mondo Circuits of money laundering."
"I assure you that I am aware of these events," you admit, "I fail to see what that has to do with your question."
"That there are plenty like Yunagi who go to our Academy, and plenty who cheered him on when they heard what he'd done. They're likely down there, getting what some would call their 'just desserts'. While I can see your brother wanting to help them given he hasn't seen exactly how many people loathe him among the student body. But I don't understand you. You know how they feel about him. Why, then, would you be willing to risk your brother to help them?"
"Does one need a reason for that?"
Munagi looks at you with narrowed eyes, "I would think so."
"Why is that? Did my brother and I need a reason to jump to your defense? No. We simply did it. You were in trouble, and we wished to help. That is all."
Munagi stared you down for sometime while you watched your brother take his position. You turned back to her and asked if she had what you required. She shook her head to clear it before looking down at her phone, "I've had it since we started talking. I was simply waiting for your brother. Shall I?"
"If you please," you wave a hand towards Munagi for emphasis. She raises her phone up and presses down on the screen. Within moments the sound of police sirens cuts through the silence of the night. Some of those in the skirmish stop to look up, while the ones at the gate immediately went to work. They split up with two rushing to the west while the other pair heads east. Your brother was already moving the moment the entrance was clear. You couldn't see Yameko, but you were sure she was close by.
The Club President kept the siren going until the four Kirin High students disappeared into the darkness of the side streets. Then she lowered her phone with a shake of her head, "I still don't understand why you believe he can-"
[Combined Combat Check: 6 (Hayato Brawling) + 26 (Hayato Street Fighting) + 10 (Hayato Using UMT) + 16 (Hayato MMA) + 38 (Hayato UMT) + 10 (Hayato Passive Physical Resistance) + 30 (Hayato Physical Resistance) - 20 (Hayato Injured) + 50 (Yato UMT) - 35 (Outnumbered) = 131: Immense Success!]
She went silent the moment your brother entered the skirmish, was jumped by three Kirin High students with weapons...and sent them all flying within a second.
Then did the same to another group of students.
Then another.
And another.
And another.
He had hardly entered the battle and he had already fought his way into the middle of the battle. Munagi watched on completely speechless, her mouth trying to form words yet none would come to her.
You were already heading west and called for her to follow you. She did so, while asking you numerous questions about how your brother is able to do what he's doing. You don't answer, both out of a need to keep the truth hidden, and because your mind is focused on your own role in your plan.
There's a faculty entrance to the school to the west. It's likely the two that went there have gathered others to help them search for the police, so it should be clear.
You sent your brother into this mess.
You're not leaving him out to dry.
"To your left, Lord."
"I see him," you casually block the hostile man's attack, his steel pipe clanging uselessly against the metal of your gauntlets. You briefly see the sadistic glee on his face melt into surprised anguish before you punch him in the stomach. He went flying into two of his fellows nearby, giving the Martial Artist they were menacing the opening she needed to bring them with two well placed kicks to their crotches. She nodded to you before another enemy came to face her.
"Behind."
Your fists went up and hit your assailants in their faces. They fell to the ground to writhe in pain until you picked them up by the back of their coats. You knocked their heads together before tossing them back into the chaotic mess around you.
And that's the word for it. Chaotic.
You could hardly make out what was happening around you, or who it was happening to you. Only glimpses of what was going on came to your eyes every now and then. Some Kirin High assholes beating down a Raijin student here, Raijin students taking on all comers there, or a simple mosh-pit where no one had any idea of who was friend or foe. The agonized cry of injured students on both sides were drowned out by the grunts and cries of combat. You could taste the iron tang of blood in the air.
Yet, despite it all, you felt completely calm.
More calm than you've ever been in a situation like this.
And you chalk it up to Yato.
This is the first time the two of you have ever actually started working together like this in a fight. The feeling when you activated the Style is hard to describe. It's like a more advanced version of how you and Yato usually are. While you always know that Yato is on your arms, you don't fully feel the spirit's presence until he starts talking. Now though it feels....like it's more than that. A strange, tickling sensation that has encompassed your whole body.
And that was before you started using Unyielding Mountain.
Your brother had suggested you use it as part of his plan, and you weren't going to argue. It was difficult to control at first. The power surged through your body and you started throwing it around with reckless abandon. Anyone who got close you simply "shoved" away for lack of a better word. You turned away every and all attacks sent your way until you made it to the center of the field. Here, Yato helped you get a handle on the power and start directing it more efficiently.
And by that you mean, using it to block attacks before hitting a man so hard he goes flying backwards like five feet.
Which was, in your own words, pretty goddamn cool.
However, you're not here to simply throw assholes around. You've got a job to do...kind of.
According to your bro, your role in his plan is to get in this fight and then "Rally The Students Of Raijin Academy together, and launch a decisive counterattack while Yameko searches for the leader of this assault."
The first part's done, you're in the fight. You haven't seen Yameko at all, but she is a Kitsune. With any luck she's already found the leader and is making her way back to you or Yamato.
So that leaves you with the second part of your task. Now you just have to decide how to accomplish it.
[] Speech Time! You've been waiting for this moment! It's time to find the tallest object you can, get on top of it, and give a rousing speech to rally everyone together!
[] Find some help. You're not gonna be able to pull this off alone. You'll need people who can help you keep a group together in a fight. Hose and Ritsuko are probably around somewhere, so you'll start with them.
[] Start helping people. There's plenty of people in this fight that could use a hand. You'll help them out, get the ones that can still fight to join you, and keep it up until you have an entire group of fighters behind you.
[] Just start punching! Screw anything fancy! You'll just keep knocking assholes to the ground! You'll eventually make a big enough dent to give your guys a chance to regroup!
FINALLY GOT IT IN!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I think the math is in update is a bit incorrect.
Still a complete victory though.
Glad to see this update.
