Chapter-106<*prize*>
The girls were glaring at the boy who was acting like it was nothing.
"You can decide your partner when classes are over, remember you have two days to choose and sign up" - Chifuyu said while the other girls calmed down.
"Okay, now open your book to page number 64..." - continued the beautiful teacher with black hair as the class continued normally.

"Hmm…maybe I should stick with my plan…" Tatenashi muttered as she read the rules of the new competition.
"What do you have in mind, Tatenashi-sama?" Utsuho asked as she poured her some tea.
"I just thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to liven things up a bit for our students"-Tatenashi smiled as she felt that she had thought of a good joke for her interesting Kouhai.
"I have a bad feeling about this"-said the vice president as she shook her head.
"I think the same" - said the secretary.
"We are 3" - affirmed the treasurer.
"You're mean to me, girls"-Tatenashi huffed as she looked at her three friends and puffed out her cheeks in annoyance.
"We know very well that when you have that smile, only problems await us" - Utsuho said seriously while the others nodded.
". . ." Tatenashi just rolled her eyes at them as she started typing at full speed.
"What do you think to do?" Honne asked curiously.
"Simple...I'm going to..."-said Tatenashi as she sent a request that was approved in a few seconds-"Perfect~"
"He will be upset when he hears about this"-said Utsuho as she shook her head.
"I don't think so... it's just a date"-said Tatenashi as an amused smile appeared on her face-"Besides, it's good motivation for girls to show their full potential"

Classes were over and the girls were looking at the blond boy excitedly while he was quietly listening to music.
"Cloud!" Charlotte exclaimed as she approached the boy, "You're going to team up with your girlfriend...right?"
"I would like to... but I'm sure someone will tell me something to deny your request"-Cloud said as he watched as Houki approached her seat.
"Houki-san?" Charlotte asked in surprise.
"I'm sorry, Charlotte-san" - Houki said seriously - "I'm going to use the reward of our bet to make Cloud my partner"
". . ." Charlotte gave her an annoyed look but she still nodded in annoyance, "How did you know?"
Cloud only winked at her to the irritation of the girl who could only let out an exasperated sigh.
"How did you know?" - this time asked Houki.
"Let's just say I had a feeling you'd say that" -Cloud said as she winked at him- "Anyway, I guess we're partners... though you could have used that award for anything else"
"I know... but it would be counterproductive"-replied the girl from Japan seriously as she looked the boy straight in the eye-"I'm not going to take the easy way"
Cloud smiled when he heard this because he felt that the girl was maturing more than he thought with this mission.
Charlotte frowned when she heard this because she began to understand how childish she was being and at the same time she was surprised at the maturity Houki was showing. It was obvious that she was jealous of her relationship with Cloud, as well as his relationship with Maya, but far from exploding like a normal girl her age, she was trying to improve and gain more ground.
The more she thought about this, the more tempo she felt because it was obvious that Houki was getting better so that she could be by the side of the boy she liked as a strong woman and not as a spoiled girl.
"Charlotte Dunois... I want to ask you to be my teammate" - Laura said seriously.
"Me?" - The girl from France pointed out with surprise.
"Yes... we're roommates and we already know each other, that's why I find it easier to cooperate with you" - Laura said calmly.
"Why not with Cloud?" Charlotte asked curiously.
"Because I want to defeat him" - replied the girl from Germany - "While cooperating with him would make things easier, it would also make things empty. It wouldn't be a fair competition if one team was too superior to the others..."
Charlotte nodded at the girl's words - "Ok, count me in"
"Perfect, we'll train in an hour to see our teamwork" - Laura agreed and then looked at the blond - "I hope you fight with everything you have, Cloud Strife because I want to defeat you and show you that I can be your husband"
"???" -Cloud was about to agree to Laura's words but when he heard the last thing he went blank not knowing how to respond.
"Etto...Laura...san?" Charlotte said as she looked at her partner "I think you're a bit confused..."
"?" -Laura looked at her with confusion when she heard this because she had already made it clear that her husband was the strongest person in the couple.
"Husband refers to the male of the marriage... while wife represents the woman..." - Charlotte said calmly - "The name does not change regardless of the strength of the parties"
"Seriously?" - Laura could only open her eyes in surprise - "I guess it makes more sense... although it doesn't change the fact that the context of my words was understood"
"They left me out..." - Cecilia murmured with annoyance.
"If you want, I can be your teammate, Cecilia-san" - Ichika said calmly.
"I appreciate it"-Cecilia agreed as she shook Ichika's hand-"It's a pleasure to have you as a partner"
"And I wanted to ask Lialia if she wanted to be my partner..." Honne said as she looked at the blonde girl from the UK.
"But you're not a pilot, Honne-san" - Ichika said with surprise.
"Call me Honono-san~!" Honne exclaimed in annoyance as the tails of her fox brooches bristled.
"Those things are alive?" - Cecilia asked with surprise when noticing that the girl's brooches seemed to be watching her.
"What are you talking about?" Honne asked in surprise.
"No... it's nothing..." - denied Cecilia
[Attention all students, Tatenashi Sarashiki, student council president is about to give a statement]
"?" - all the students looked at the speaker with surprise since they never thought to listen to the strongest girl in the Academy.
[Hello everyone, this is Tatenashi your beloved student council president~! Is this broadcasting?]
The girls let out a drop of sweat upon hearing the last words of the president
[For the last time, Tatenashi-sama... he is broadcasting...]
"Utsuho-san is having a hard time…" Charlotte mumbled as she listened to her classmate's older sister.
"But she has fun with Tate-chan~"-smiled Honne remembering how happy her older sister is when she is around her teacher.
[Ok, thanks Utsuho-san]
[Just say her statement...]
The students could imagine the serious vice president picking the bridge of her nose in exasperation.
[You're making me look bad in front of our audience, Utsuho-chan… anyway, I just wanted to give a little update regarding the tournament between classes~]
"?" - The girls were now much more confused than before because their teachers had already informed about the rules.
[I can imagine that many of you don't understand what this is all about...so I won't be more blunt about it...my announcement pertains to the tournament rewards as I'm sure our beloved and respected teachers, they didn't report on this matter...and that's obvious because the prizes hadn't been decided yet...until now...]
[What are the prizes for the winners? I'm sure many of you must be asking yourself that question... and the answer is quite simple indeed. The prize is... an all-expenses-paid date with one of our sought-after male students, Cloud Strife and Ichika Orimura]
The girls widened their eyes in surprise when they heard this, only to start looking at the two aforementioned boys as if they were a piece of meat in the middle of a cage full of lions.
[The two winning girls, will be able to choose to have a date with any of the aforementioned boys... in case one of them wins, they will be able to choose who to go out with...]
Ichika shrugged his neck in discomfort as he noticed how at least half the girls in her class were glaring at him. He could feel the women's restroom incident materialize in front of her eyes again. On the other hand, Cloud was cool as he shrugged.
[Well, actually, that's the special first place prize that you can consider a bonus because the real prize is that the class that manages to get the championship, will be able to go to a private island vacation for three days. The girls from the other classes who manage to enter in a good position will also be eligible to go with the winning class, that's why they have to work hard to improve~]
The girls' eyes sparkled with excitement when they heard this because they never thought that the prize would be a fantastic fan.
[That would be all... I wish good luck to all the participants... and don't forget that the quotas are unlimited, so don't be afraid to participate]
* * * * *
"I think that's more than enough motivation for them"-Tatenashi smiled as she looked at a 'tired' Utsuho.
"I still don't understand how they approved it"-murmured the vice president while she sighed with regret.
"Because it's a good way to create connections with Cloud Strife" - answered Tatenashi - "They saw his abilities during the invasion of those automatic IS"
