Chapter 12

Disciple is the twelfth chapter of the Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan Manga.

Summary
Ayase remembers her training with her father. Her father tries to get her to attack him with her full power, but she tries not to as she is worried about her fathers health. Her father, however is able to persuade her, wanting to help her as much as he can, being that he is not a blazer and could only help her with her swordsmanship.

Ayase then wakes up at a hospital and Shizuku alerts everyone of her awakening. Ayase then introduces herself as Ayase Ayatsuji, Ikki's senior. Ayase tells Ikki and the others that she had stalked Ikki wanting his help with her swordsmanship. Ikki figures out that Ayase's father, the man who has been teaching Ayase swordsmanship, was Kaito Ayatsuji, a famous swordsman. Ayase tells the group that Kaito has been hospitalized and is unable to teach Ayase at this point because of his injuries and decides to help Ayase with her swordsmanship, deciding that they should both counsel each other in swordsmanship.

Ikki's group and Ayase then go to the forest, where Ayase shows Ikki her strength in swordsmanship as Ikki tries to gauge her strength. While doing so Ikki figures out that Ayase's problem was that she is trying to mimic her father's sword style.
