Chapter 128

I forgot to tell this but this Arc is going to be a least 30 chapters long in my head

---

Inside one of the hotel rooms

The hotel room is spacious and designed for multiple guests. It features two large beds with white linens and green bedspreads, separated by a wooden nightstand. To the left, two green upholstered armchairs flank a small wooden table. A standing floor lamp and a flat-screen TV on a wooden desk provide modern amenities. The minimalistic decor includes clean lines, a neutral palette of green, white, and brown, and a single piece of wall art.

"Have you decided yet what you are going to be competing in?" Oreki asked Minoru who was putting his luggage in one of the unoccupied cabinets.

"I'll be competing on the official battle board and Ice pillar break game," Minoru replied after closing the cabinet. "What about you guys?" He asked in curiosity. Kiba and Gasper were also in the room with them

"The three of us together will do monolith code and individually, I'll do the Newcomer Ice Pillar Break," Oreki replied while yawning as he thought of the Creepy Masaki who after being rejected by MIyuki many times in the light novel and kept on pestering the girl. What would happen if he beat Maski in the Ice Pillar Break in a dominating fashion would he accept it easily? 

"I'll compete in Newcomer Speed Shooting" Kiba answered

"I'm on the Newcomer battle board," Gasper said as he raised his hand up like a kid.

Minoru nodded "Oh right I just remembered, Grandfather said he'll be here and watch the tournament throughout," He said.

"I mean. you'll be competing for the first time, so of course Retsu is going to be here to watch you" Oreki shrugged as he said that. "That's why don't embarrass him by losing" He added with a smile.

"You don't have to tell me that," Minoru said with a smile but he was still kind of nervous even with the upgrade he received, or buff as Oreki called it. However, without the buff, he will still try his best no matter the odds after he is the 'perfect' magician that his family created.

"Watch out for those committee members that were in charge of checking the CAD of the students," Oreki said to Minoru because he was the only one going to be using CAD in their exclusive group.

"Why?" Minoru asked with a frown

"Two words, No Head Dragon" Oreki answered with a smirk

"That was 3 words," Kiba said in a confused tone while Gasper and Minoru looked at that smug face with awe.

"Does not matter" Oreki said with a shrug. Not even embarrassed of his blunder of combining No and Head in one word. He walked to the door so could head to the lobby as Rias and others were waiting for them. The Trio with him also followed behind him.

While they're in the elevator Minoru asked for more details about the involvement of the No Head Dragon on the committee members of the Nine School Competition.

"They will order their people inside the committee to tamper or put some kind of virus to the CAD of the students of First and Second High" Oreki explains more while tapping his feet to the floor in rhythm with the elevator jingle.

"If they did what you just said, when those students used their CAD then accidents will happen to injury or worse even death," Minoru said in a serious tone as he further imagined different scenarios about the malfunctioning CAD.

"Yup, they are that greedy for money," Oreki said as he did not disagree with their behavior because money runs the world in their perspective at least.

With a ding sound, the elevator stop at the first floor where the lobby of the hotel is located. They exited the elevator as soon as it opened. 

While walking to the location of the lobby, they continued talking about No Head Dragon's greediness.

"Should we inform the authorities about this plot by the No Head Dragon?" Gasper asked. After hearing all of that, he just can't help but want to do something and prevent the accident from happening.

"Why are you asking? Of course, we're going to report this" Oreki said while waving at Rias and the Co. who were waiting for them in the lounge part of the lobby "That's why we have Minoru here. we can leave it to him to report this" He added while putting his hands on Minoru's shoulder.

"You want me to inform Grandfather about this? Then consider it done!" Minoru answered confidently with a smile. Contacting his grandfather is easy after all he realizes that he is the favorite grandson maybe the next in line to be the head of the family. However, even without Oreki and Gasper reminding him, he'll still tell and report this to his Grandfather to prevent someone from getting hurt or he can even tell this to his cousin Kyouko as she works pretty much in the military from what she told him every time she visit him.

"Problem solved!" Oreki said as he clasped his hands before saying "Let's go, can't let the girls wait anymore." He pointed at the girls getting a strange look from the staff on why they were still here as the other students were already on the opening dinner gathering.

The Trio nodded in agreement. They then walk towards the girls.

"Sorry we kept you waiting girls," Oreki said with a smile as he moved in between Akeno and Rias offering his arms for them to hold. Sona clicked her tongue while Tsubaki patted her shoulder and encouraged her to make a move.

"We didn't wait much." Said Rias as she held the arms of Oreki in between her huge breast

"So what are you boys talking about when you stop?" Akeno asked in curiosity as they watched the boys a little bit earlier. She also did what Rias did but tighter and she also started rubbing before stopping after she received a glare from Rias.

Oreki told what they had been talking about while walking to the dinner gathering of the students participating in 9SC. The girls were a little bit shocked but they too understood the extent of what humans would do to get anything they want especially money.

"What's the plan?" Sona was the one who asked while following behind the lovely Trio who were whispering with each other but the others could hear them pretty clearly.

"Plan? There's no plan" Oreki said casually making Sona frown "Let Minoru's Grandfather deal with committee staff!" He added.

Minoru just simply nodded at Sona to make her relax and leave everything to him.

"And if you mean, if I have plans for the No Head Dragon..." Oreki said pausing a bit before continuing "I can't decide yet if I will deal with them myself or I'll let the Older Shiba do it to his satisfaction "

"Anyway, don't think too much about those people and think more about how are you going to seduce me…. I mean convince me to train and buff your peerage. He said.

Sona froze a bit before blushing and staring at the smirking Rias while Akeno just laughed lightly.

"Did you tell him?" Sona asked while shouting and still blushing. Luckily the hallway that they are walking through is pretty much empty.

"It was Tsubaki who told me about it," Oreki said honestly.

"Tsubaki! Why!?" Sona shouted to her Queen.

"I'm trying to help you, Sona-sama" Instead of getting angry because her King shouted at her, Tsubaki answered calmly.

"I don't need help, I can seduce him myself," Sona said confidently with a smug smile and her arms crossed to her small chest. She stood there silently before blushing, she turned to Oreki, Rias, and Akeno and saw them having a teasing smirk.

Sona then turns back her sight to Tsubaki "Just look what you made me say!" She embarrassingly shouted.

"I'm sorry Sona-sama" Tsubaki apologized but had a wide smile that she did not even bother to hide.

"You're not sorry at all" Sona scolded, This continued until they were near the Student gathering.

Suddenly all of them frown. As they look at the door of the meeting of students.

"Your grandfather is quite a prankster even at his age" Oreki laughed lightly as he said that to Minoru. "Well I hope he doesn't take his prank to the extreme," He said casually.

"I won't let that happen" Minoru answered quickly which made Oreki nod.

"What was that?" Sona asked in curiosity.

"That was nothing" Oreki disregarded Sona's question "But I didn't expect your girls to be able to detect that" He added while staring at Sona's peerage.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tsukasa asked with a bit of an angry tone.

"If you mean we're weak then you should train," Momo said.

Oreki ignored what they said and told them some tidbits that their world was higher than this world after seeing Sona's peerage detect that magic.

"Now I'm more curious about your world," Minoru said.

"We'll bring you there if you want" Rias was the one who said that.

"Anyway, let's prank them a bit as an apology for being late to the party" Oreki smirk.

Issei was running through the hallway of Kuoh Academy while shouting I have a date repeated making the other students doubt it even if it's true.

Once Issei reached the fountain he started slowing down as he saw the girlfriend that he made yesterday and she was waiting for him.

The girl has long, flowing black hair that frames her face and falls past her shoulders. Her eyes are a striking shade of red, adding to her captivating appearance. She is wearing a light purple blouse that is form-fitting and accentuates her figure. 

Issei is having butterflies in his stomach that he can't stop himself from shouting her name.

"Yuuma-san" Issei waved at the girl named Yuuma.

Yuuma turned and smiled at Issei before waving back.

Issei arrived in front of Yuuma snd "Did you wait long?" He asked.

Yuuma shook her head "I just got here" She said with a smile.

"I see, shall we go and enjoy our date" Issei innocently smiled.

"Oh I will thoroughly enjoy this" Yuuma smiles but it's more of a smirk. However, Issei didn't notice that as he led the way.
