Chapter 127

The next Day.

Oreki and his crew of Devils, including Yoruichi and Minoru are riding a bus on the way to the Nine School Competition Venue. After he cured Minoru of his defect, Minoru asked if he could tell that he was the perfect magician that the Family always needed and wanted him to be. Oreki did not stop him from telling Retsu as he gave him the go signal. As for how he told Retsu that he was perfect now, he said that both of them started sparring with each other, and to Retsu's surprise Minoru didn't overheat his body despite him using a bunch of magic spells against Retsu.

 Retsu was overjoyed that his Grandson was cured and wanted to know who helped him but Minoru only told him that he would be with Oreki's group as they compete in the Nine School Competition for fun. Retsu frowns after he hears that but he does not care as long as his Grandson is cured.

"Did you tell Kyouko yet?" Oreki asked

"Grandfather will inform her" Minoru answered before looking at Oreki weirdly and adding the following question "Are you interested in her?" He already knew that this guy was collecting women like some collectible figurine of some kind of anime. He had been informed by Rias when she was trying to find some unique anime but failed to see anything resembling Anime that Anime is a form of art in the past but that is lost now or had been banned by Japan for crude and it might influence the youth especially Magicians into breaking the Law of Marriage before Sex.

"Me? interested in her? That woman is too attached to her work that she'll probably get her boy toy or boyfriend killed in the line of work." Oreki said as if he was speaking some kind of facts.

"Are trying to imply that Kyouko would get someone killed in an accident too?" Minoru asked with a frown " You're not being subtle" He added.

Oreki smiled before saying with a frown "I kind of hate the uniform of the Second High, it like we're the downgrade version of the First High in terms of magic and skill."

The other students crumble at what Orekis said

"We're better than them"

"Yes! we'll show them who's the downgrade version"

"I'll show and embarrass one of the heirs to the Ten Master clan in front of the crowd."

"Don't really care much, I just want to watch The Elf."

However, it is true that The Second High uniform is just the blue version of the First High green uniform. The namesake of both of the schools automatically makes the Second high, second. Miyuki who is a true perfect magician is enrolled in First High and Minoru the defective perfect magician is in Second High.

"Really are guys really confident to win it all?" The crowd of students went silent after Oreki asked them. Even those who boosted earlier went silent as they were only all talk no bark.

"This school does not even have a win under the banner, even the Fourth High has one!" Oreki said in a mocking tone before adding "Even the Alumni Kyouko-senpai wasn't able to lead the school to overall victory, that how hard to carry to school"

The Students gritted their in anger after hearing all the facts. Even the teacher is getting angrier as they too are alumni of the school but they can't do much because what Oreki is true.

"But rejoice everyone for I and Minoru here will lead the Second High to our first-ever Victory at the Nine School Competition as we make our past Senior proud" Oreki said passionately while subtly instigating them.

"So who's with me" Oreki shouted

The student shouted in unison making the window of the bus vibrate a bit.

"Who's going to win!?" Oreki shouted

"We are!"

"Who's going dominate the other school this year!"

"We are!

"I can't hear you!"

"We are!"

"Good Good my people... Take every win and give nothing back," Oreki said with a smile though when he thought that his group was the one who was going to carry this school. They still need some of the students to reach 2nd place each game after one of his group takes first place but he doubts that as the magician is here are to be underestimated.

The students started planning on their own how they could help and contribute their own way to win the Nine School Competition. While the teachers started coaching them and giving them advice or tricks on how to win a specific game.

However, their conversation was interrupted by the driver as he pointed at the speeding car that was coming to them without slowing down. 

"I thought the No Head Dragon would underestimate and ignore us the whole tournament." Oreki said casually before saying "I guess money is money" He shrugged as he sat down.

"This is a No Head Dragon attack? why?" Minoru asked in curiosity.

"Yup, the reason for them attacking us is, I bet a lot of money for the Second High to win, and just as said I thought they would ignore us but it seems they don't want to take any chances to get that money.

Minuro could not help but shake his head at the absurdity before saying "But you did expect them to do this because you told me to cast Parade to the bus." At first, he does not know the reason why Oreki made him cast Parade around the bus before they leave but now he understands it.

Oreki smile before looking at the panicking student as they witness the speeding car caught on fire and come tumbling in their direction.

"Don't worry Ladies and Gents, Minoru already got this under control so settle down and take your seat" Oreki shouted in confidence. The student then started calming down after hearing and seeing Oreki's confident voice.

All of the students took their seats but some of them were still quite nervous as they watched the car roll around.

The driver wanted to stop but Oreki shouted at him "Keep driving, Old man! Don't stop!" Making the driver sit up straight and just wait for the fiery car. when it came near them, the fiery car passed by the bus and the Van that was following them before the car exploded into smithereens. 

The student, the teacher, and the driver breathed a sigh of relief after they witnessed what just happened and after a while, all of them shouted in joy.

"What just happened!?"

"Dumb driver doing dumb things!"

"Maybe that was a woman...Ouch, it's a joke! a joke!"

The teacher who was quite knowledgeable about what happened approached Minoru who was sitting with Oreki "Kudou-san did you just use Parade?" The teacher asked.

Minoru just kept on smiling and did not answer directly. The teacher understood that he was not further inquired because it was a family secret.

The bus kept on moving until they saw another bus at high way but this bus was currently parked on the road. The teacher ordered the driver to stop. 

--

Tatsuya who was outside trying to help traffic the cars was perplexed when an 8-wheeler truck stopped on the same road and that they were parking for a moment and started honking at them. Even the students of the First High are wondering why this truck is honking at them.

Tatsuya used his Elemental sight just in an attack again but he just saw it as a normal truck when the truck started glitching he took a stance as he prepared to do the necessary. However, when the glitching stops and it shows a blue bus with students from Second High, Tatsuya lowers his guard and comes to a conclusion about what magic had been used.

Inside the First High bus. 

Mayumi stared at the bus with narrow eyes while she stood at the back of the bus before saying "So the rumors yesterday were true" She had flowing black hair, adorned with a ribbon, and captivating almond-shaped red eyes. She is wearing the standard First High uniform for girls

"What was the rumor Mayumi-senpai," asked curiously by Azusa who was beside Mayumi. She had orange bub hair and cute green eyes. She had a standing height of 150 cm tall and weighs 41 kg. In short, is petite and was almost a loli.

"The rumor is that the Clan Head of the Kudou pulled some string to enroll his Grandson to second high just to compete and probably to make his debut in the Nine School Competition," Mayumi explained

Mari who was beside Mayumi widened her eyes after hearing this as realized or remembered what kind of magic the Kudou family has and that was used on the bus. "I see" She is a woman of average height with short black hair and brown-gold eyes 

"Not just Third High, it seems that the Second High too have an ace on their sleeve," Suzune said casually while reading something in the tablet. She has a long blue hair and striking purple eyes.

"But we're still going to win, right?" Said energetically by Kanon. She has short, dark purple hair with sharp bangs more down on her right side than her left side. She has fair skin and blueish-gray eyes 

Mari karate chops Kanon's head lightly before saying with a stern voice "Don't underestimate them. They could have other good magician other than Kudou Grandson."

Kanon rubbed her head cutely after she received that karate chop. "Of course! Mari-senpai."

Mayumi smiled and then stared at the Second High Bus with narrow eyes as if she were trying to look through the students there. The only thing she could see was the driver's seat but then she noticed a girl or woman with chocolate skin looking at them before that woman started calling someone from the back.

A teenage boy with black hair walked to the side of a woman with chocolate skin followed by another boy with a beautiful appearance and black hair The woman then pointed at them before the teenage boy looked at them. The boy waved at them and gave them a flying kiss before giving them I LOVE YOU sign. The other boy sighed and bowed at them politely. They then walk back.

"That was weird," Suzune said as she stopped what she was doing and stared at the bus.

"Was that the Kudou?" Mari asked curiously. What she meant it the one that gave them a flying kiss.

"I hope he is" Mayumi smiled as she said, "I don't want another rigid heir like Katsuto." 

The Katsuto she was talking about is currently talking to the teacher in charge of the Second High. Katsuto had a broad shoulder while he had a standing height of 185 cm.

Miyuki who saw the boy that gave them a flying kiss thought he looked familiar but shook her head as her memory was a bit fuzzy. However, the reason for that is the boy's hand a passive ability that makes people dumb but she does not know that.

Katsuto then finished talking to the talking as he entered the bus again "The same accident happened to them too." He informs the student council.

"Really?" Mayumi asked.

Katsuto nodded "I think it's not a coincidence that the same car accident happened twice so we decided to go to the venue together for more security." He said in a serious manner.

"That's good then, we don't want any more accidents to happen," Mari said while nodding sagely.

"Everyone take a seat! We are going to leave soon." Mayumi shouted as she instructed the students.

"So who's going to be the victim this time" asked Rias across the seat of Oreki and Minoru.

"Well, I can't decide yet if I want to approach Mayumi or not," Oreki said while leaning in his seat.

"I like that girl," Rias said as if she met that girl already which is true as Oreki gave them some info about the inhabitants of this world via memory transfer.

"Me too" Akeno agreed as Mayumi is fellow Onee-san vibes.

"I agree too," Sona said as she is a fellow student council president which is a shallow reason.

"I don't think I have a chance as the girl is already smitten by the Older Shiba," Oreki said while thinking what waste."Anyway, let's talk about something else" He looked at Rias and Akeno before saying "The only good about this uniform is that it hides your legs and that is even more attractive and sexy." 

He started praising them as the two buses started moving toward their destination.
