"What the fuck is this?" Glenn mumbled as he sat in the middle of one of the canteen stalls. Above him was a sigh saying congratulations while a load of party decorations around the canteen and what looked like all of the girls in his class, the one next to it, and a few second years.
Why did this have to happen to him?
Oh yes, he had to beat Cecelia and Ichika just because he didn't like to lose. He really had to smack Sean for installing into him that you win at all costs, or the fact that Mickey made him always find a way to win, surprisingly it was only mean to be with Yugioh, but he could apply it here as well.
"Hay, hay Glenn, the news paper club would like to ask you some questions along with your fellow competitors" a brown haired second year spoke up as she held a pen and paper in front of the table. "Oh my, I would be happy to answer your questions" Cecelia spoke up.
That's another thing, Cecelia was sitting right beside him, and the damn blonde princess wouldn't leave him alone. At least his clawed gauntlet was on that side, she wouldn't be able to hold his hand if she got the chance.
And for some reason, Glenn got the feeling she wanted to do more. "What do you want to know?" Glenn asked, trying to ignore the fact that Cecelia was hugging his arm, maybe he could get his IS's standby for upgrade to cover his whole arm in spikes.
"What are your thoughts on being class representative, from the match it should you only using your IS for the first time" the reporter asked as Glenn frowned in thought. "Glenn has nothing to worry about in that regard, as I will be personally training him to improve his skills" Cecelia spoke up making Glenn just stare at her.
Does everyone just have to speak for him today? "I guess I'll take it as it comes, no point worrying about it" Glenn replied calmly. In all honesty he wasn't calm because he was just about ready to break someone legs.
Ichika doesn't need both legs, that could calm him down. "What about the end of the match, most of the girls are wondering about your relationship with Cecelia Alcott" she asked as Glenn froze. "What?" he asked.
"Everyone say how you stopped her falling, carrying her like a princess towards the ground, and the fact you were a metal wolf, it looked like something out of the beauty and the beast" the reporter stated as Glenn glanced towards Cecelia, who was sporting pink tainted cheeks.
"Ugh...we're friends, I think" Glenn replied nervously. What do you expect, he's nerd, women aren't something he accustomed too. "Really, that's good" the reporter said as a few girls looked relieved. How was that a good thing?
And why is Cecelia glaring at him now. "How about we get a picture, I sure having the two boys on our front cover will make a great sale" she said as Glenn glanced towards ichika, who offered a shrug in response.
"Can we have separate ones as well?" Cecelia asked, what is she going on about now? "Why not?" the reporter said, pulling her camera out as Glenn and Ichika stood. Both boys grasped each other forearm as they offered smiles towards the camera.
The flash went off as the picture was taken. "Why is Houki glaring at me?" Glenn whispered towards the bluenette. Ichika glanced over his shoulder to see his childhood friend actually glaring at the golden blonde boy.
"I have no idea, if you ask her, you will only get the response that that is her normal expression" Ichika whispered back. Unknown to both boys, a few girls were taking pictures of them whispering to each other, creating more headlines for the news paper.
"Ahem, I believe it is my turn" Cecelia spoke up as she tugged Glenn away from Ichika. She wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his shoulder as she turned towards the camera with a smile.
Glenn only blinked as his clawed hand wrapped around her waist, his free hand resting by his side. Why is she holding him like this? "Are you sure your only friends" the reporter asked as she peered over her camera.
Glenn just shook his head and smiled lightly, what else is he meant to do. After the flash went off, Glenn let himself fall back into the chair, looking up at the ceiling as the others talking about how the male IS pilot did in the arena.
"What time do we have to get up tomorrow at?" Glenn asked Ichika. "Classes start at eight, why?" he asked in return as Glenn cracked an eye open. "How long do you think it'll take to swim to the main land, grab some drinks and get back?" he asked in return as Ichika looked at him oddly.
"But we have, oh...oh!" Ichika muttered a she realised what Glenn was saying. "Aren't you underage?" he asked as Glenn shook his head. "Right now, I don't really care" Glenn replied as his clawed hand rested on his forehead, the dark blue metal somewhat calming the headache he was already feeling.
"I don't think Chifuyu would like you drinking" Ichika said as Glenn shrugged. "Meh, I'll call Sean and get him to bring some, we'll make a field day out of it" Glenn replied as he pulled out his phone and started typing the text.
"Now, I'm off to bed, if I can't drink now, I'm drinking tomorrow" Glenn said as he slipped out of the table, walking out of the canteen while no one was looking. And not seeing the pair of ruby eyes watching him as a mischievous smile crossed the persons face.
As Glenn made his way down the hallway, only one hand in his pocket do to the fact the dark blue gauntlet wouldn't fit in his other one, he started feel very paranoid. "Please don't let me be followed" Glenn prayed as he turned around, only to see an empty hallway.
"What the..." his own question was cut off as he felt his caller being grabbed. Before he knew it, his knees were kicked in and someone was already dragging him away. "The hell!" Glenn yelled as he saw Tatenashi dragging him down the hallway.
"Oh Glenn, we always seem to meet like this" she said innocently as Glenn glared at her. "Stop dragging me around!" he yelled as the girl ignored him. "Where are you taking me?" he asked as Tatenashi shot him a smirk.
"Why, do you have somewhere important to go, like my room where you could ravish this unsuspecting senpai?" she asked as Glenn just stared at her. "You're insane aren't you" he deep panned as the girl giggled into her fan again.
"And what's the big bad wolf going to do" she teased as Glenn groaned in frustration. "Why do you keep doing this to me, annoy someone else!" Glenn yelled as the girl stopped, making Glenn arc an eyebrow at her.
"No, you too much fun" she replied before continuing on down the hallway. "I hate this place so much right now" Glenn grumbled as Tatenashi hummed to herself. "Where are you taking me anyway?" he asked, finally just giving up trying to get away.
"Why, I'm taking you to my room, I don't have a roommate right now, and I want a hugging pillow" Tatenashi replied without pause. "I have my own room" Glenn replied as Tatenashi grinned at him. "Oh, you would prefer having a male roommate, do you swing for the other team, all that planning I made would go to waste" she pouted ad Glenn glared at her.
"I'm not like that, you're insane!" he yelled as Tatenashi brightened up. "Then I still have a chance" she cheered. "Are you even listening to me?" he asked as the girl hummed in reply. "Why me?" he groaned as the girl approached a door in the second years dorms.
"You have to be up early tomorrow so we have to go to sleep now" Tatenashi said as she threw him into the room. Almost instantly, Glenn dove for the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind him as he clicked the clock shut.
"Oh, what now!" Tatenashi whined from behind the door. "I refuse to leave this bathroom you crazy women!" Glenn yelled back. "That's not fair!" she whined as Glenn breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm just going to have to wait until you leave in the morning" she added as Glenn's face fell.
"Your insurable you know that" Glenn mumbled as he sat down, leaning his back against the bathroom door. "And you don't know how to enjoy yourself" Tatenashi shot back as Glenn sighed. "You're the cause of all of this you know that, I had a normal life before all of this" Glenn muttered as he pulled out his deck of cards.
"The most exciting thing I did was play Yugioh with some friends" he continued his clawed hand gently shuffling the cards he held. "If I hadn't met you, I would have been at a tournament drinking with some friends, and life would have been normal" Glenn sighed as he leant his hand against the wooden door.
"But now your here now, you can make new friends" Tatenashi spoke up after a few moments of silence. "And leave everything I once knew behind, something like that just doesn't happen" Glenn replied.
"But what do you know, you seem so care free, like nothing ever bothers you, do you know what it's like to be ripped away from the life you once knew" Glenn asked as the bluenette on the other side seemed at a loss for words.
"I guess I don't know what it's like, my family has always set my course for me, I've never known anything else, maybe that's why I can act so care free, because I know what i need to do" Tatenashi said as Glenn sighed in response.
"From what I've heard from the other girls, this is the first time you've shown any worry over this situation, Ichika Orimura freaked out the first day, why not you?" she asked as Glenn kept quiet for a few seconds.
"I guess I know there was no point in arguing or trying to fight it, I guess I just let everything happen while trying to make the best of it" Glenn replied as he flipped up the first card on his deck, reviling a cyber dragon with a gold trimming around it.
"It's not good to hold all those emotions in you know" Tatenashi scolded as Glenn offered a light chuckle. "I guess not, but what else am I supposed to do, I'm being watched like a zoo animal in the hallways, and now, I have to take part in these inter-class matches, it's not going to be easy" Glenn replied.
"I guess everything is quiet hard on you, and hiding in a girl's bathroom isn't going to make it any better" Tatenashi giggled as Glenn groaned. "So what was your life like before I came along?" she asked making Glenn blink.
"Why do you want to know?" Glenn questioned in return. "What, I can't learn about the boy that's hiding in my bathroom" she giggled before calming down slightly. "I haven't gotten to talk to you much, I did cause all of this as you said, so I feel responsible for you" she replied.
"That doesn't give me confidence in what you want to do" Glenn mumbled, he could feel the girl giving the bathroom door an innocent expression with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "But my life back home, it was normal to me" he said as Tatenashi listened closely.
"I was a nerd, one of the biggest on campus, I was in my second year of university, studying software design, everyone else was around eighteen to twenty, it made some classmates harder to talk too" he explained fondly.
"But then Sean found me, he was a first year student studying criminology and genetics, he introduced me to some of his friends and we all started to get to know each other, it was from there he should me his talent in playing the guitar, and from that we found out I was good as singing" Glenn explained.
"I heard, so did the whole school when you sang on the roof last week" Tatenashi pointed out as Glenn blinked. "Would you mind singing for me? Maybe you can come out of the bathroom?" Tatenashi asked as Glenn sighed.
"Do I have too, this tiled floor is rather comfy" Glenn replied as the girl giggled. "Yes, one song, and then I'll let you go back to your room, deal?" she offered before hearing the bathroom door click open.
"Why not, I'll let you pick from the song on my phone" Glenn said offering a small smile as he gave her the phone.
The following morning, Glenn was laying down on his desk, oddly he hasn't been thinking about anything since last night. Just letting out everything he had been worried about last night had actually calmed him down.
"I wonder what's wrong with Ventura-kun, he seems tired" one of his classmates whispered. Oddly enough it was the girl that looked about ready to fall over asleep herself and why was her uniform two sizes to big for her.
"I say him walking back to his room after curfew, I know we stayed up till then but he left early, I wonder where he went" another replied as Glenn sighed softly. "Maybe it has something to do with the new transfer student, maybe their old friends or something" another whispered.
"It can't be, does that mean my Glenn has been taken from me already" another asked, what the hell is going on now. "What's everyone talking about?" Ichika asked as he walked into the class room.
"Some crazy stuff" Glenn replied as the boy raised an eyebrow at the response. "You alright, you got back to the room looking really tired" Ichika asked as he leant against the window beside the blonde. "I'm okay, just had some stuff sorted out last night" Glenn explained vaguely.
"Did you figure out why Houki was glaring at me?" he asked in return as Ichika blinked. "I did, she was really upset about the fact that I lost the match, but it was mostly due to the fact that I lost because you did, in her words, an un-honourable action" Ichika explained as Glenn sighed.
"The girl should learn that if you bring honour into a fight, you'll lose" Glenn replied as Ichika shrugged. "Everyone has their beliefs" he replied simply. Before either of the boys could continue, the door to the class slid open again.
"So this is where you've been hiding Ichika!" a voice yelled as both boys blinked before turning towards the door. Standing there was a girl with long brown hair in tow pig tails tied up with yellow bands. Her uniform was modified so that her shoulder were reviled and her sleeves were lowered,
Despite the fact she was a petite looking girl, Glenn couldn't help but find her cute. After shaking his head he turned back towards the conversation between the two. "Rin, what are you doing here?" Ichika asked as he smiled at one of his long time friends.
"I'm the class representative of class 1-2, so you better be prepared for our match!" she exclaimed as the bluenette boy blinked. "Ugh...I'm not the representative foe our class Rin" Ichika pointed out making the girls face drop.
"But, I heard a boy was the class representative of this class!" she yelled as Ichika blinked in confusion. "Well, yea it is a boy, it's Glenn, over here" Ichika said pointing to the confused blonde boy.
"Ugh...hay" Glenn called out awkwardly as he noticed the girls frozen expression. For some reason a blush had crept across her cheek as she stared at him. "What's wrong with her?" Glenn whispered as Ichika shrugged.
Before Rin could have a chance to say anything a rolled up booklet collided with the back of her head. "Get back to your class" Orimura sensei ordered as the pony tailed girl ran but not before pointing at Glenn.
"I'll be back for you" she yelled as she disappeared form the door way.
"That was odd" Glenn remarked as the teacher walked in. It was around lunch time when Glenn was making his way towards the canteen, his mind was more on the news that Mickey had sent him during class than on anything else.
"So unfair" he mumbled as he realised that he wouldn't be allowed to go to the regional tournament in Londonderry due to the fact he had to stay at the IS academy for his own protection. "What's wrong with you?" Houki asked rather rudely as she walked up behind the two boys.
"If you're going to be rude then I'm not telling" Glenn replied as Houki shot him a glare, or was that her normal expression? "Someone as dishonourable as you should be ashamed" she stated as she walked on with a huff.
"Due" Glenn spoke up as Ichika glanced at him. "Your girlfriends crazy" he added as he walked on, leaving Ichika sputtering and blushing mess in the hallway. "Wha, she isn't..." he cut himself off as he realised that Glenn had already left.
"Oh, Glenn come sit with me!" a voice almost instantly spoke up as he walked into the canteen. Turning to the voice, Glenn saw Cecelia waving towards him as sighed. "Let me get some food" he replied as got in line.
"I'll take a curry chip" Glenn said as the waitress grabbed him a plate full of chip and poured the curry on top before placing the dish on his tray. "Thanks" he said, handing the cashier the money before heading over to Cecelia.
As that was going on, Rin was standing waiting for Ichika to get his own food, discreetly sending glances towards the blonde boy. "What's wrong with you" she thought trying to get him out of her head.
"Ugh...one hot guy and you can't stop thinking about him" she scolded herself before noticing Ichika had walked into the canteen. "It doesn't matter we have a promise" she thought happily as she greeted her childhood friend.
"So, how are you today?" Cecelia asked as Glenn slipped into the seat opposite her. "Alright I guess what about you?" he asked in return as Cecelia smiled at him. "It's been great, we have our first practical class today, and then they'll open the arenas for us to have after school practises with" Cecelia explained happily.
"Really, didn't know you could use the arenas in your free time" Glenn questioned as he took a bite of his curry chip. "Yes, not many first years use it due to the fact they don't have personal IS's, but we are an exception so we will have all the time to practice together" Cecelia beamed as Glenn blinked.
Something was wrong here.
Oh well.
"Maybe we could..." Cecelia question was cut off as someone form the seat beside them smacked their hands against the table. "What is your relationship with her" Houki demanded as Glenn glanced over to see the pony tailed girl glaring at Rin while Ichika was just confused.
"I'm talking to Ichika right now, so butt out" Rin replied pleasantly as Glenn chuckled to her attitude. "ugh...Rin this is my childhood friend Houki, I told you about her when you moved in, Houki left just before you came to school" Ichika explained as the two girls glared at him.
"Alright, but as I was saying, do you need help with your IS, I heard about how you lost and..." Rin was cut off again as Houki once again smashed her hands into the table. "Don't ignore me" she demanded.
"You think we should record this?" Glenn asked as Cecelia stifled a giggle at the boy's antics. Before she could reply, the bell for lunch sounded as Houki walked off in a huff. "I'll see you later Ichika" Rin said as she hopped out of her seat.
As she walked by Glenn, her stopped momentary making Glenn raise an eyebrow at her. She didn't say anything as she walked off, looking slightly frustrated for some reason. "What was that about?" he asked as Ichika shrugged.
"Let's just head back before Chifuyu hits me again" Ichika said as he hurried out of the canteen. Glenn only followed as they went back to class. As they were about to open the door, Glenn stopped the boy.
"Isn't this our practical lesson now?" he asked as Ichika nodded to him. "Then don't the girls get changed in the class room?" he asked as Ichika stopped reaching for the door and froze. "Let's go the arena now" Glenn finished as he backed away form the door.
On the other side of the door, the half naked females of his class groaned in annoyance when they heard Glenn speak. "Who told them" one of them asked as Cecelia kept quiet. "Damn it, this plan was full proof" another classmate huffed.
"We'll get them next time" another promised. Inside the locker room of Arena three, Glenn and Ichika shivered for some reason.
"Do you feel a sense of doom in the future?" Glenn asked as Ichika nodded slowly. "Good then, I'm not crazy" Glenn sighed in relief as he pulled the skin tight top over his head. "They really expect us to wear this?" Glenn asked as he looked at the short wet suit like clothing.
"I think so, the girls wear something similar to us" Ichika replied as Glenn froze. "They're wearing something this skin tight?" Glenn asked as Ichika nodded. "And they expect us to walk out there, in something just as skin tight while being able to see our overly attractive classmates in similar clothing?" he asked as Ichika nodded not seeing the problem Glenn was having.
"I truly hate this place, it's trying to kill us in the most embarrassing way possible" Glenn grumbled as Ichika just looked at him like he was crazy. "Let's get this over with, at least you get to see your girlfriend in such tight clothing" Glenn mumbled as he walked towards the door to the arena.
"She isn't my girlfriend!" Ichika yelled as he ran after the chuckling blonde. "What took you both so long?" Orimura sensei asked as the two boys lines up beside the girls. "Nothing!" Glenn answer, trying to keep the heat that was rising to his cheeks down.
Can you blame him; he was surrounded by girl in one-piece swim suits. He was lucky that he was at the left side where no one could see his current problem. "Alright, for our first lesson we will have everyone with a personal IS doing some tactical manoeuvres, Orimura, Alcott, Ventura, you're up" she ordered with a clap of her hands.
Cecelia didn't wait as she stepped forward, flicking the blue ear ring as it glowed. Soon enough she was standing with her IS active as she smiled at the class. "fast activation, as expected form a representative candidate" Chifuyu praised lightly.
"Orimura your up" she ordered as the bluenette blinked. "Ugh...okay" he muttered as he tried to summon his IS without voice commanding it. "Hurry up, we don't have all day" is older sister ordered sternly as Ichika sighed.
Grasping the white arm bracelet with his left hand, Ichika closed his eyes and concentrated. "Byakushiki!" he yelled, encasing himself in a bright white light as his IS formed around him. "You should be faster in summoning you're Is" the teacher scolded as Ichika slumped his shoulders slightly.
"Ventura, you're up" she ordered as Glenn sighed. "Cyber wolf, hunt" Glenn ordered as he extended his clawed gauntlet clad hand. His body was encased in a bright blue light; each part of his IS locking into place as his wolf helmet formed with the wolf like tainted blue eyes glowing.
"You should be able to do that without a voice" Chifuyu said before looking at the large gun for a right arm. "And why are your weapons deployed" she asked as Glenn turned his head towards her. "Their always active, its the way wolf is built, apparently" the large bipedal wolf replied with a shrug of his spiked shoulders.
"Alright, make sure they don't fire for this lesson" she ordered as Glenn nodded slightly. "Now all three of your are to take to the skies and perform with ever manoeuvres I instruct you too" she said as the three nodded.
"Umm, Orimura sensei, why is Glenn-kun's IS have a helmet and full body armour?" a student asked before the three could take flight. The teacher turned towards the large metal wolf with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know, I didn't make it" Glenn replied bluntly, which might have been a problem as the girl flinch due to the fact it seemed like a huge metal werewolf had snapped at her. "No more questions, fly now" Chifuyu ordered the three.
Cecelia was the first into the sky, followed shortly after by Ichika. Glenn stood, his clad feet gently digging into the ground before he jumped, leaping into the air as his wings shifted to take him upwards.
"You okay Glenn?" Cecelia asked as he flew in beside him, allowing both of them to sour through the sky beside each other. "It feels wired just flying around, I don't think wolf is built for this kind of flight" Glenn replied as Cecelia raised an eyebrow.
"You're not the only one, this increased vision is throwing me off" Ichika stated as he levelled off beside the two blue IS users. "You get used to it quickly enough, but maybe I could help you out after class Glenn, we could go to the arena..." once again Cecelia was cut off as Chifuyu entered the joint call.
"Stop chatting up there, all three or you are to perform a nose dive, coming to a complete stop ten inches off the ground, got that" Chifuyu ordered from the ground. "Well, then, I'll be first" Cecelia said as she pulled away from the two.
Almost instantly the girl flew downwards, her body instantly flipping back up into a standing position as she slide to a stop just above the ground. "Impressive" Chifuyu offered simply before turning her attention to the two still in the sky.
"Ventura, your next" she ordered as the bluenette boy looked towards the ground. "Well, see you down there" Glenn said as he nodded his head slightly towards the boy. Going into a dive, Glenn could feel his IS speeding up at an alarming rate.
"Shit, I'm coming in too fast" he muttered, trying to see if he could pull up at all. "Cyber wolf, arced deceleration" the message popped up as Glenn felt the IS's clawed feet open slightly. A thin layer of mist escaped the clawed feet as Glenn adjusted his stance so his whole body was level with the ground.
Bending his knees slightly, ice started to form around his feet, bushing against his feet as his wings shifted outwards to slow him down further. "Partial ice wave active" the Is spoke as Glenn saw the ice forming in front of his feet, creating a steep ramp that curved to try and level with the ground.
The curve didn't reach far enough as Glenn's clawed feet dug into the ground, sending him tumbling towards the arena wall as each part of his Is that hit the ground dug up a small amount to dirt. It ended with the bipedal wolf crashing into the arena wall, his feet hanging in the air as his head lay against the ground.
"Oh, that hurt" Glenn mumbled as his red and blue claw grabbed his helmet clad head to try and stop the spinning. "That was terrible" Chifuyu stated as some of the class rushed over the downed wolf.
"Orimura your turn, try not to copy Ventura" she added as Ichika gulped form his place in the sky. "Ventura, deactivate your IS" she ordered as Glenn groaned from his place in the way. "I would, but the world won't stop spinning" he grumbled making some girls giggle.
Soon enough his IS burst into partials, reforming into his clawed gauntlet on his left hand as his back slumped against the dented arena wall. "Glenn, are you okay!" Cecelia yelled as she slide to a stop beside him.
Before he could reply, a loud crash was heard making Glenn look up, or is it down? Ichika had cashed straight into the ground, creating a rather large crater in the middle of the arena. "I said not to copy Ventura" Chifuyu mumbled with a sigh as Ichika's IS vanished.
"Ichika, get up, you're IS kept you from getting injured" Houki said as the bluenette groaned in his crater. "IS that anyway to treat someone who got hurt" Cecelia scolded as she pulled Glenn to his feet.
"That boy is completely okay, his IS was complete armour so nothing is wrong" Houki said as she glared at the blonde from Ichika's crater. "That just proves how uncaring you are" Cecelia pointed out smugly.
"I'm going back to the changing rooms" Glenn sighed as he stood up straight, shaking off the last of his dizziness. "Are you sure you don't need to go to the infirmary?" Cecelia asked as Glenn shook his head.
"I'm okay, but someone help me get Ichika out of that crater" he said as he looked down at the boy. Honestly the crater did look rather comfy right now. "Class is dismissed, Ventura, your cleaning up the trench you dug" Chifuyu ordered as the blonde groaned.
"What about him?" Glenn asked as Ichika looked up in confusion. "If he could work a shovel right now, he would, he'll take care of it after dinner" she replied as she yanked the bluenette out of the hole and pushed him towards the changing rooms.
"Why do I get the feeling that teacher doesn't like me" Glenn groaned as he went to find a shovel.
