Chapter 10: Reminiscing

Weekends have finally arrived here at Rosemary Academy much to the delight of its students. In this short two days, it is the time where students can avail of a vacation, thus allowing themselves to leave the Academy's grounds and go to wherever places they want.

Learning this piece of vital information recently, we find Rin, in his female glory wearing his sleepwear. The boy is on his bed as he seemed to be preoccupied with his laptop, the screen showing some footage of a certain heiress' room.

"Thankfully just like most of the students, Kana is currently out, and as such, the perfect opportunity to plant some cameras and bugs inside her room." The crossdressing Agent told himself and continued to eye the security feeds.

Boredom engulfs him as Rin finds himself lying down with a worn-out expression.

"It seems I'm in some sort of a break too." Rin muttered under his breath, eyeing the ceiling as he was lost on his thoughts, most particularly the recent memories that have transpired ever since he steps foot in this school a week ago, causing a chain of events that ensure hilarity and chaos in the mixture.

"I guess this ain't so bad. Far less boring than what I have been accustomed to the Agency."

Rin smiled as he reminisce one particular memory involving him and the Kendo Club Captain the next day after their unexpected duel.

Memory 1:

The following day after Rin and Hanabi's short sword fight tussle, we find the former sulking at his desk inside the classroom during lunch break.

Meiko felt concern as she stared at her new friend brooding with an aura that tells "I'm fucking tired, go bother someone else."

Despite the signs, Meiko could not help but approached the Agent in disguise as the former tapped the latter's shoulder to get his attention.

"Huh? Oh hi, Meiko." Rin merely stated. Even if he does not want anyone socializing with him right now, he just could not find the heart to drive the orange-haired girl away.

"Are you alright Rina? You look kind of exhausted." Meiko asked her friend worryingly.

Forcing a smile, Rin told her "Nah I'm fine. Nothing to worry about. Just a long night of cleaning the entire Dojo by myself, so yeah, I guess I'm feeling a bit weary from yesterday."

Then the boy got his brooding out of his system as he decided to hold a proper conversation with her.

"Speaking of my cleaning, how's yours and Keana's?"

Meiko groaned in response, her face twitching in annoyance "Same as yours maybe. Even the bathrooms prove to be a match for the two of us and not to mention there are four of them."

"Yeah!! and not to mention someone left their napkin in one of the cubicles." Keana smirk as she suddenly joined the two in their conversation.

"and not to mention, but it was blood-stained too."

Rin and Meiko cringed visibly in disgust.

"Yeah, that was rather unhygenic." Meiko commented at that particular memory.

Rin nodded in agreement "Someone just leaves their unmentionables after their period? Is that normal?"

Meiko's eyes widen in horror "Of course not!! Let's just say that there are some... eccentric girls here in this school, so we do get our share of crazy shenanigans from time to time."

"Yep, just a normal day here at Rosemary so nothing to get your sexy ass worrying about Rina." Keana grinned madly in response.

Rin merely nodded, but his face still expressing doubts.

And speaking of shenanigans...

The girls inside the classroom all gathered up in the windows and entrance, their faces filled with adoration and worship as they saw their idol walking at the hallways, apparently making way at their very class of 1-D.

"Oh my gosh, it's her!!!"

"Ms. Nakamura!!!"

"Kyaa!!!! Ms. Nakamura we love you!!!!"

Hanabi Nakamura made her presence widely known as she entered the class of 1-D and she was not alone.

The green-haired manager of the Kendo Club was seen accompanying her. Piper Crane's pretty face was witness filled with a lovely smile.

Hanabi proceeded to look around the room, her stoic face eyeing for a particular blue-hairedd individual.

"May anyone please tell me where Rina Mayfield is." Hanabi's voice was filled with authority, her tone definitely making an impact on the students of 1-D.

"Yohooo Rina are you here!!?" Piper shouted as she waved her hands playfully.

Rin could only flinch in response. Meiko and Keana looking at him in confusion.

"Hey, why is the Kendo champ looking for you?" Keana whispered to Rin's ear.

Rin chuckled nervously "I may have made some lasting impression on her last night."

After some time, Hanabi was directed to Rin's desk as the former eyed him in a soul-piercing gaze.

"There you are." Hanabi crossed her hands, emphasizing her modest chest.

Piper, who is beside the Champion smiled at Rina as she waved her hand. "Hey, Rina!!"

"Yo Piper and Ms. Nakamura. What brings you here." Rin smiled albeit in a wary manner.

"I've heard great things about you, Rina!! It is of no exaggeration that when I entered the Dojo earlier this morning, you have made the place practically spotless!!!." Piper said gleefully. "Also I've heard some great things about you from Hana here!! Come with us Rina and join the club!!!"

Rin chuckled awkwardly in response, thinking of ways to not sound rude on how to reject such an offer.

To be honest, it does not matter if he is in a club or not, but he does not need the extra responsibility associated with it. He has an heiress here to protect damn it!!!

"What Piper said. We would like to formally invite you to the Kendo Club, Ms. Mayfield. Your skills with the blade are of something of no equal and such talents must not be wasted."

What the hell, didn't the words that he said yesterday failed to discourage her?

"Uh... I humbly decline." Rin answered. "Kendo is one thing, a sport, bounded by a set of rules that inhibits your true potential as a swordsman. A true Kenjutsu practitioner must be free, as free as water, utilizing everything in his or her disposal to achieve victory."

Hanabi nodded as if she expected the answer and it seemed to not go off unnoticed by Rin as the latter seemed to raise an eyebrow in intrigue.

"I see. Your answer is indeed true Rina Mayfield and as a fellow practitioner, I wholeheartedly agree with you. How about an alternative then?

Hanabi reached out to her pocket and brought out a small card as she gave it to Rin.

"Nakamura School of Swordsmanship." Rin read the contents.

"I would be honored if you visit our family dojo and demonstrate such talents once more," Hanabi said as she bowed down deeply with the most utmost respect and this act startled the whole class in commotion.

"D-did Ms. Nakamura just gave a bow at the new girl!!?"

"Seriously? and she seemed to hold Mayfield in high regard."

"What is going on?"

The whispers continued, spreading forth the entire class as the rumor circulated even further and started to enter the other classrooms as well.

Meiko and Keana could only stare, dumbfounded at the scene, a third-year student and Kendo national champion bowing courteously at a new transfer student.

And Rin, oh boy... the poor Agent in disguise is very unamused as the attention he is garnering is extremely unnecessary.

He is an Agent for crying out loud, and here he is, becoming the talk of the school and not even a week has passed.

The boy sighed as he thought of Lucia having a mouthful of him about this.

__________________________

Back to the present time, Rin shuddered at the recollection. He merely told Hanabi that he will think about it as the latter simply nodded and left the room with Piper who seemed to be pouting in cute indignation because he was not recruited at the Kendo club.

Piper comically cried that day for missing out on such a potential cleaner.

Turns out she was more impressed by Rin's cleaning capabilities rather than his swordsmanship.

Rin chuckled at the green-haired girl's antics as he turned his attention to the window, showing a beautiful eagle's view of a good portion of the Academy.

His thoughts were drawn to another memory, specifically the events that happen last friday involving him and Kana during P.E.

__________________________

Memory 2:

It was Friday at Rosemary Academy, the school day of the week favored by every student of the prestigious institution.

And once again, our blue-haired agent was seen moping at his desk, his face rather gloomy after the events that happened two days ago involving Hanabi and Piper.

Meiko and Keana curiously asked her after that. Seeing no harm, to tell the truth as he already amassed unnecessary attention, the boy did so. The socket on the girls' eyes threatens to pop out upon hearing the boy's answer.

Naturally being inside the circle of friends, Kana joined in as well as she too heard Rin's predicament. The former simply expressed her amazement with a smile.

And back to the circumstances at hand, Rin's eyes wander around the classroom as he saw all of his classmates.... stripping down their uniforms.

Rin covered his nose hence risking a massive nosebleed and stuttered with a tomato-colored face "W-what the mother freaking hell is going on?!!"

His seatmate, a girl with a light shade of black on her hair simply replied "Oh, we are having P.E. for the next period. You should undress and change too or you are going to be late."

So that's why Keana yesterday told him to bring the tracksuit together with its t-shirt and red bloomer for tomorrow.

Inside Rin's thoughts, we find chibi angel Rin and chibi devil Rin, one at each of his shoulders.

"Hohoho now this is a marvelous sight!!! Girls strip into their underwear. I'd rather have them naked but meh I guess this is the next best thing." Devil Rin cackled as his eyes shamelessly roam around the class.

"Hmm... Rin such evil acts must not be tolerated..." Angel Rin stated his opinion, a demeanor of calmness and integrity formed at his every being.

Rin seemed to agree with his Angelic conscience as he was ready to leave and change somewhere else, like inside the bathroom.

"-normally is something that I am supposed to say, but I suppose we can adore God the Father's heavenly creations as it should be intended."

PFFFFTTTTT!!!!!

What in the heaven and hell?!!

"Heh for once Angel we agree!!!" The Devil grinned wildly in response as the Angel held a serene smile like reaching pure enlightenment.

Rin cried comically... The boy, so perverse to the core that even his Angelic conscience is turned out to be a goddamn pervert!!!

__________________________

Thankfully, the logical side of his brain ascended forth, halting Angel and Devil's intentions.

As such, he sneaked out of the room unnoticed and headed to the bathroom for a change.

'Stupid consciences of mine, if I changed inside the room, then they might take notice of my less feminine features and I don't want to risk that.' Rin shook his head annoyingly.

His thoughts led him to astray as he failed to notice a petite pretty girl with twin braided silver hair bumping him as she drops her red beret cap and trip on the floor.

The boy's eye widens with apology and concern "Sorry, are you alright?"

Rin offered a hand and the girl accepts the kind gesture.

"I'm fine. No need to apologize. I too am also at fault." The girl smiled as she dusted the dirt off her uniform and put on her beret back.

Rin smiled widely as he took his leave immediately hence he risk getting late for P.E.

The girl looks at Rin's retreating form as the former held a devious smirk on her cute face.

"Rina Mayfield huh."

__________________________

After the change of clothes, Rin and the class found themselves inside the huge gymnasium.

It seems that they are not alone, as they were joined by another class, class 1-C during this session.

"Alright, class!!!" The P.E. instructor, a woman with short caramel-colored hair and an athletic figure called the attention of both classes. "Today we will be having the most cliche' sport that has ever graced in High school history... Dodge ball."

"Sweet!!" Keana shouted from the crowd as most of them giggled at the instructor's joke.

"As such, each class shall divide themselves into two groups and the two-class with their respective groups will battle against one another." The instructor ordered them to do so which they immediately complied with.

Sometime later, the four groups are officially formed and ready to play the sport.

"So we are on the same team, Rina." Keana grinned as she tapped the boy's shoulder playfully.

"Yeah. So mind telling me about the rules?" Rin asked the violet-haired girl much to her astonishment.

"You never had dodgeball before?!" Keana slightly shakes the boy's body.

"Homeschooled remember?"

"Oh right." Keana realized as she let go of Rin and begun to tell the rules.

"Dodgeball is a team sport in which players on two teams try to throw balls and hit opponents while avoiding being hit themselves. The objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by an opponent, or inducing an opponent to commit a violation, such as stepping outside the court."

Rin nodded, getting the idea of the game "Seems simple."

Keana giggled in response "Simple but dodging speeding balls thrown at you is harder than you think, especially at the start of the game where many players occupy the court, easier to be targeted due to the sheer numbers."

"I think I can manage." Rin smiled.

Then the game officially commenced with no issues, the first two teams, one where Rin and Keana in them played fair and square, with the spirit of sportsmanship on hand.

In the end, 1-D won as they cheered at Keana who seemed to be proficient at the game and was the MVP of the match.

"Yeah baby, keep the cheering coming!!"

Rin sweat-drop at his friend's bright enthusiasm.

As this was going on, the other two teams are playing on the other side of the gymnasium but their demeanor is rather different.

Unlike at Rin and Keana's side where both teams played fairly, the other two teams... well the other team of 1-C was rather brutal on their gameplay as they play dirty and hitting 1-D with a force that intends to intentionally hurt.

"Come on is that all you babies can do??!!!" 1-C's leader on the other side, a tall woman with long black hair taunted the other team.

"Damn it where is the teacher when we needed her?" One of the girls in 1-D said with frustration as the instructor seemed nowhere to be found.

"Kana look out!!!!"

Failing to react, the brown-haired heiress was hit hard in the head, blood starting to form as she falls on the floor and clutches her head in pain.

"Hahaha, Oh poor Erendal tripping just like that!! How's it feel to be on the bottom, you entitled bitch?" The bully laughed sadistically, feeling pleasure as she saw the injured girl on the ground.

Naturally, her friends in 1-D rushed for her help but 1-C being degenerate at seeing such golden opportunity to win begun to once more throw the balls at them.

"Hey, that's cheating!!!!" Keana shouted in anger at the team of 1-C.

Rin too was seeing such monstrosity, his calm demeanor slowly fading away at seeing Kana on the ground, her head bleeding along with the rest of 1-D taking the blow.

As another ball approached Kana at a very high speed, Rin manages to make it in time, catching the ball effortlessly with one hand as he stared at the bullies with a look of pure, unadulterated fury.

"What have you done?"

The bullies stared in fear as they imagine a demonic silhouette seemingly appearing behind Rin, promising pain and suffering to anyone who has offended him and most especially his friends.
