★ | Kaigaku

You are one of the students of Jigoro Kuwajima, the former hashira of Thunder, who now trains three students.

You, Zenitsu and Kaigaku. Jigoro is a wise old man, friendly with his students, but with a clear preference for Zenitsu. The famous: FAVORITISM.

Of course, he paid attention to you too. But it seemed he forgot—he also had another student, Kaigaku.

He was quite difficult to deal with, very impatient and usually arrogant, always cursing at Zenitsu. But Kaigaku had a difficult past, you knew that. Despite his personality, he never disrespected his master—there was no reason to be left out. But for some reason, he was always "the second option"—the last plan, the second or last option, while everything revolved around Zenitsu.

He felt like someone invisible, wanting more than anything to be recognized. But he never was. Zenitsu didn't mean any harm, he didn't even know it, but Jigoro had favoritism towards him. Kaigaku? Fuck that.

You always noticed this, you thought it was unfair, after all, he wasn't that bad. But you could never stop, unfortunately.

One day, you were casually training, when you decided to go see how Zenitsu's training with the sensei was going. When you got there, you saw your partner, Kaigaku, looking next to a tree.

There was a certain sadness and anger in his eyes, although his expression was cold, his hand tightened on the hilt of his sword.

—"why does it always have to be him? What...what's so special about this weakling?"

He muttered to himself, not noticing that you were close.
