Chapter 233 ( The fuck happened here?! )

"Ok... Is this normal?" - Cloud asked as he saw how destroyed Nangokuren was since they went on holiday.

"Oh... yeah, this is pretty normal" - nodded Ayane with a smile.

"I think this is weird... fucking weird..." - Chifuyu said as she frowned.

"Oh... right, I forgot that I should have participated in this event" - said Asuna with embarrassment - "Although now that I have everything I want, I don't think it'll do me any good..."

"You can always win so you can bring honour to Cloud" - replied Makoto.

"Oh, right! I'll be right back!" - Asuna exclaimed as she ran off at full speed towards the inside of the High School.

"Anything I need to know?" - Cloud asked as he looked at Ayane and the others looked at him with a smile.

"I'm sure you'll know when we get to class," said Ayane calmly.

"Ah...to that excuse..." - Cloud said as he rolled his eyes at her - "I guess it's because of the training I gave you..."

"I don't know what you're talking about, sensei" - replied Ayane with an innocent smile.

"Hmm..." - Cloud just let out a small snort of irritation as a small smile appeared - "I guess we'll have to increase your pace during training..."

"No!" - Ayane exclaimed in terror.

* * * * *

Kyōka just narrowed her eyes as she saw that she was nowhere to find her target and they had been wreaking havoc on Nangokuren for over a month now as they searched for a specific object - "Does anyone have an idea where it might be?"

"Negative, Kyōka-sama" - Kako replied as she frowned - "None of us have found any signs of the Seal."

"This is annoying... fucking annoying..." - Kyōka said while frowning, but quickly realised something - "Where is Honori?"

"Now that you mention it, everything's been super calm lately..." - Chiyoko said as she shrugged - "I guess the calmness made me forget that she hasn't been."

"Etto... I think she went with her Cheerleading club to an event..." - Misa said with embarrassment.

"Uh... makes sense" - nodded the third year girls.

"Anyway, it's not like she could find that Seal" - said Kyōka while shaking her head - "By the way... there's news about Rino..."

"She's just like us" - replied Kako neutrally - "Wreaking havoc in search of the damned Seal..."

"I still don't understand why you're so interested in that thing, Kyōka" - said Chiyoko with boredom - "I was sure you didn't have the slightest interest..."

"True... but my mother told me something interesting... and I'm sure Rino is also looking for the seal for the same reason..." - Kyōka said as a feral smile appeared on her face.

"Interesting?" - Kako asked in surprise - "What do you mean, Kyōka-sama?"

"Where's the exciting if I simply tell them?" - Kyōka replied while letting out a laugh - "Though honestly I don't know either.... Kaasan just told me that it's something I can use in the future... and if she told me that, I guess it has to be true, after all, she's never lied to me before... let alone now that..."

". . ." - the third year girls just looked at each other silently as they heard their leader stop talking.

"Did something happen, Kyōka-sama?" - Kako asked with concern when she noticed the change in her leader's attitude.

"No... it's nothing... anyway, we'd better get this over with and incidentally smash Rhino once and for all" - said Kyōka as his Ki was gradually released, proving that his control had increased during the holiday - "She's already delicious enough to be devoured in one bite..."

"I think you should stop saying that because someone might misunderstand you..." - Misa said ruefully as she understood the double meaning of her leader's words.

"Hmm... you're right..." - Kyōka nodded as she let out a carefree laugh.

* * * * *

"Well?" - Rino asked with a frown as she looked at her subordinates.

"Nothing..." - Iyo replied neutrally as the others shook their heads.

"We have searched all over Nangokuren.... we have regained the trust of those girls who were attacked..." - Rino said as Megu and Iyo blushed in embarrassment - "But we can't find a single object..."

"Kyōka hasn't found it either" - said Ryōko, who had fully recovered - "And that leaves us with only one option..."

"First year..." - muttered Rino while nodding - "It's the only place we haven't checked all this time because of the damn rules Ryōko-sama said..."

"I guess it was a way to make the first years not feel left out..." - Megu said as she shrugged, only to remember the boy who had helped her - "Or is it better to say, that she wants Cloud Strife to join the party?"

"That's a good way to look at it" - nodded Ryōko as she narrowed her eyes - "That means one thing... that the seal is likely to be in Cloud Strife's hands, or rather in his locker..."

"Hmm... I don't think it's as easy as you think" - said Rino while frowning - "I'm sure Ryōko-sama wouldn't use such a simple trick... in fact, I'm sure the Seal isn't with Cloud Strife, but with someone close to him..."

"I guess we'll have to check Marikawa Shizuka and Orimura Chifuyu's lockers..." - Megu said as the others nodded.

"The other thing, is to start the counterattack... it's time we give Kyōka the treatment she deserves..." - smiled Rino as her Ki surrounded her body and her dragon surrounded her - "I'm sure she has to be thinking the same thing as me.... Don't you girls think so?"

"That's what a dragon is like, Rino-sama" - Megu said as she let out a laugh.

"By the way... Where's Shū?" - Rino asked with a frown.

"She said she would continue with her mission..." - Iyo replied neutrally - "Though now it doesn't sound like a bad plan... if she spies on Cloud Strife, it's possible we'll find the Royal Seal."

". . ." - Rhino was silent for a few seconds as he frowned even more because it was the first time his loyal subordinate did something without asking his permission.

* * * * *

"Battle Royale?" - Cloud asked with interest.

"Hai... It's an event where Second and Third year students, fight for the possession of an item called [Royal Seal]." - Ayane said as she sighed regretfully. She didn't want to increase her training, not when she was just getting used to the gravity she was feeling right now - "The goal is to keep possession until it's the third day of the third semester, the prize varies with the years, but the vast majority of the time it's a secret scroll containing a secret technique."

"Secret technique?" - Cloud asked with disinterest - "Anyway, that doesn't matter... what I want to know, is if I can participate if I get that Seal..."

"I'm sorry to tell you that it's not possible" - said Keiko as she put her arms behind her head - "Only second and third year students can participate, that's why Asuna ran off to find the Seal."

"I see..." - Cloud muttered as he lost all the interest he had gained - "I guess I'm going to find the Seal and I'm going to defend it until I get bored..."

"Oh... that's possible" - nodded Makoto as the others had an uncomfortable smile on their faces because it was obvious that the blond was going to crash the party even though he hadn't been invited.

"This is going to be hell for those poor things..." - Chifuyu said as she found the situation amusing though at the same time she felt sorry for the poor people who want to take on the blond.

"Let's just hope he doesn't find the Seal," said Makoto as she shook her head.

* * * * *

"I swear I'm going to give those bad friends a piece of my mind..." - Rintarō said with annoyance, after all, Cloud and the others left him in the middle of the city when they came from the boy's house.

"Rintarō! It's been a while!" - Kousuke said with a smile upon seeing his friend - "How have you been?"

"He sure lost his virginity to Keiko or the twins..." - Tamao muttered with jealousy.

"Actually no, I just trained during my whole holiday" - replied Rintarō while shrugging his shoulders - "But let's leave that aside.... Can you tell me why Nangokuren is so in the shit?"

"It's because of the Event between the Third and Second Year Students" - Tamao replied as he rolled his eyes at his friend - "Did you by any chance not see the huge sign in front of you?"

"Huh?" - Rintarō quickly looked in the direction where his friend pointed, only to be embarrassed when he noticed how there really was a huge sign with all the information on it.

"Seriously... I think all that training made you stupid" - Tamao said disdainfully.

"It feels strange for you to call someone who managed to sneak into the smartest freshmen stupid" - replied Kousuke as he let out a laugh.

"Ok, keep making fun of me, but keep this in mind, you're only one place above me" - Tamao snorted with annoyance.

"But I'm still smarter than you, my friend" - smirked Kousuke as Tamao looked at him with annoyance.
