Chapter 4 - Chaotic Day
One Week Later
Public Moral Committee Room
After revealing a part of his past to Erika and Mizuki, he found himself spending a lot of time with them. It was probably them trying to help him get better. Naruto didn't mind it much because he got a sparring partner out of it. Throughout the week, Naruto and his friends spent their time adjusting to First High. Nothing special happen. The only notable thing that happened is that Naruto started to carry his own specialize CAD to school. Not the general bracelet model. It was a custom made CAD. It was in the shape of a black revolver with gold trim. Naruto design his CAD base on the 1872 American's Colt Single Action Army Revolver, better known as the Peacemaker. During his time in the main house under's Maya watch, he got bored, so he started to watch many old movies of all culture.
Today was the day that he and Tatsuya were officially introduced to the Public Moral Committee. Naruto would usually have Kurama with him to introduce to the rest of the committee, but considering the upcoming week where it was pretty much a free-for-all, it was best to leave him at home.
The entire committee was gathered as Mari began to brief them about the upcoming week and their new recruits.
"Good morning/ Good morning sis!" The senior members greeted the chairwoman, Mari.
"Stop with the sis, Koutarou!"
"Itai!"
Mari swatted a senior member when he called Mari, 'sis.' Keep in mind that Koutarou Tatsumi isn't really Mari's brother, but for some odd reason he keeps calling her 'sis'. This action got a chuckle out of Naruto. It seem that he wasn't the only one that gave her a hard time.
"Alright, the one week frenzy of idiots are back again this year. The period when club activities are recruiting new club members."
"Um... Shouldn't it be called the battle to acquire freshman?" Someone asked/commented. He was ignored, but many of the other members agreed with him.
Mari continued. "The purpose with the clubs in magic high school is for the Nine Schools Battle. There are 9 magic high schools in this country. Every year, these 9 schools partake in the 'National Magic High School Newcomers Magic Tournament' Also the regarded as the Nine Schools battle. Of course the results of the Nine schools battle is reflected from the assessment of the entire school. Student activities with those clubs are favored by the school. That means, it's essential to acquire promising new members. Every department has repeatedly caused trouble. However, during the recruiting period, excessive trouble is caused from demonstrations with CAD which has been granted approval for use. If it heats up between clubs and a fight breaks out, it can turn into a magic fight. The only one who will suppress this kind of situation is the public moral committee. For the duration of the week, we are going full force!"
She then gestured to the two new recruits. "This year we are fortunate to have the assistance of new members. Let me introduce them." Naruto and Tatsuya stood up. Naruto look as cocky as ever, while Tatsuya kept calm like always. "1E Tatsuya Shiba and 1E Naruto Uzumaki."
"What, I get introduce second?" He asked jokingly. He was ignored as well. All eyes were on them and they notice that the two recruits were from the course 2. Some look happy to have them, while others weren't please with the new recruits.
"Both from 1E?"
"Two course 2 students in the committee..."
"Chairman, what of the fighting strength?" One member asked.
Knowing where he was going with this, she sighed. "I observed both of their abilities. Both showed experience with combating against magician. Uzumaki is capable of using Gram Demolition, which is why the school recommended him."
"Gram Demolition!?"
"Isn't that spell dismantling magic?"
"How can he used it?"
"If you are not confident in my judgement, would you like to try and gauge them yourself?" Mari asked with a smirk.
"N-no. That's fine." He responded nervously.
"Anything else?" No one said anything. "If there's nothing else, then move out!"
"Ma'am!" The members saluted then left.
"Uzumaki, Shiba." She called out.
"Yes?" Both asked at the same time.
She held a band and a recording device in her hand. "First, let me hand you these. Committee arm bands and video recorders." She then went over the rules and about the device.
Once Naruto put on the recorder and band, he raised his hand to ask a question.
"Oi, boss." Naruto called out in english.
"Don't call me 'boss!' We're not some sort of mafia."
"Can I go around and say, 'Respect my authoritah!'" Naruto asked in his best Eric Cartman impression. Getting a blank/confused look. "Geez you're making me feel old. A reference. A TV show created a 100 years ago."
"Do as you please as long as it's within the boundary of a public moral member." She told him. Not getting the reference.
Tatsuya then asked permission for using their CAD, which she allowed and he took two. Then the two went off.
"You need any help with patrol. I know Miyuki would kill me if something happens to you." Naruto joke.
"No. I would be fine on my own." He denied his help.
"Fine with me. I promise that I will go around the school with Erika. Call me if you run into trouble." He began to walk away and wave behind him. Tatsuya nodded and left to patrol the school himself.
"Hey Erika." Naruto called out to the redhead in front of class 1E.
"Naruto!" Erika said happily as she approach the white haired boy. "Took you long enough."
"My bad. The chairwoman thoroughly went over recruitment week."
"Is it really that bad?"
"Considering that all clubs want to represent themselves at the Nine School Competition, ya, it is. Let's head out and check out all the other clubs." He led her outside.
"Wow~ It's like a festival out there!" She commented. There were booth where all the club recruiter set up and the entire area was filled. Before she went in to explore, she notice that Naruto was looking at a different direction.
'I sense some negative emotion towards the gymnasium. This can't be good.' Naruto thought. With the limiter on him, Naruto only had access to his sensing ability that he was naturally born with. Something that was still a secret. He then notice Erika looking at him. "Sorry Erika, but something tells me that I'm needed elsewhere." He then started to walk off.
"Hey wait! I'll come too!" She followed Naruto.
The two arrive to the small gymnasium where Naruto sense the malicious feelings coming from.
"Looks like the kendo club is demonstrating here." Erika commented.
"I hate demonstrations."
"Why?"
"It usually means staged. They only want to put on a good show for the audience, not actually practicing their swordsmanship."
"I guess you're right." She nodded in agreement.
"Kyaaah!"
The two heard the scream and headed down.
They came upon what seems to be an dispute between kendo club and kenjutsu club. One of the kendo club, Sayaka Mibu, faced the leader of the kenjutsu group, Takeaki Kirihara.
"Kirihara! What do you think you're doing?" Mibu demanded. "There's still an hour left before the kenjutsu club is up. Why can't you wait your turn?"
Naruto and Erika made their way through the crowd to get front row seats. 'Could be some tension between the two clubs. Letting it play out may fix the problem.'
"How disappointing. Don't you want to do a collaborative exercise?" He asked with a smug grin. "Don't worry Mibu, I won't use any spells."
"You think you're a match for me with just sword skills?" She rose up to the challenge. The two got into their stance.
"Don't bluff Mibu. Those words can only get you so far..."
Mibu didn't falter to his comment. She was confident in her skills. The two went at it.
"Now this is a proper demonstration. Two fighting with all they got." Naruto commented. Enjoying the scene. Erika agreeing with him. She started to talk about the two's past.
In the end, Kirihara lost his cool and went for a finishing blow, but Mibu remained calm and easily defeated him.
"Mibu-senpai(senior) strike settle the match." A first year commented.
"Kirihara-senpai's hit is too shallow." Another first year commented.
The kenjutsu club members look angry with the match. Not liking that they lost to a kendo member, more importantly to a course 2 student.
Mibu lowered her shinai. "Accept your defeat. If it was a real sword, you wouldn't be able to use that right arm anymore." She commented as she watch him massage his right shoulder, where she landed her strike.
"Hahahaha. A real sword?" His tone turn dark, as with the atmosphere. "You wouldn't be able to put a scratch on my body. How about it, then. Do you want to have a match with real swords." He then reach for his CAD and activate it. "If that's the case. Then let's have a match with real swords!" Everyone started to see him casting a spell on his shinai(wooden practice sword).
'High pitch sound. It's Sonic Blade!' Naruto thought. Surprised that he was willing to kill the person that beat him. As a swordsman, he knew all the related spells to swords, including a few of his own and some military secret spells.
He then charge at her with a slash. To which to dodge, knowing that she is unable to take this on. It cut a portion of her cloth. "Well Mibu, this is a real sword. And this is the difference between kenjutsu and kendo!" He raised for another attack.
"Stop! It's too dangerous!" Erika shouted, while Naruto ran in to stop the battle.
He got in front of the two. Naruto caught the sword by grabbing his wrist. "Even if you're using magic. A sword is still a sword." He then twisted his wrist. Dislocating it. Kirihara dropped the shinai and fell down in agony as he grab his dislocated wrist.
Naruto then reach for his communication device. "Reporting from small gymnasium 2. I have apprehended one student. Due to an injury, I would like to request a stretcher."
"Who the hell is that?"
"Isn't that a freshman?"
"That armband! A public morals committee member!"
"Hey, not only that, he doesn't have an emblem. No way..."
"A weed in the public moral committee?!"
People started to comment at the sudden change of events.
"What the hell? Why is Kirihara getting arrested!?" One of the kenjutsu member demanded.
"He use a lethal B-Rank spell against a fellow student. Expulsion is very much possible for him now." Naruto answered. One of the rules was the forbidden use of lethal spells within school grounds without proper authority overseeing event. Not even the recruitment week allow that rule to be broken due to the high risk of death. The school didn't want the public to find out that they allow students to go around and kill each other.
"Why the hell is it only Kirihara! The kendo club's Mibu is also at fault!" The kenjutsu yelled.
"Dude..." Naruto said in disbelief. "Are you an idiot? I said he use a lethal B-Rank spell. That's forbidden in school without a teacher around. No exception." Naruto told him as if he was a complete idiot.
"The hell!? Speaking like that to us!?" He responded. Ignoring the rules that Naruto told him about.
"Naruto..." Erika said tiredly. Now he was just trying to rile them up in her opinion.
"You bastard!" He along with other kenjutsu member charge at him.
Naruto caught the punch and stopping him. Naruto waited for the other person to strike. The guy that Naruto caught was still trying to push his way towards him, but Naruto stood his ground. Once another guy made his punch towards Naruto's face, Naruto move back. Letting the guy he caught trip forward and him being punched by his friend.
"*chuckle* Okay. This is all funs and games, but it's time to end this. Stop now and I won't take you all in for assaulting a public moral committee member."
"You damn weed!" Several other kenjutsu member pulled out their CAD and planned to attack him with magic.
Naruto eyes narrow at them. He quickly drew his CAD, dubbed Saber(In memory of Arturia), from his shoulder holster and launch Gram Demolition at the group. Surprising them. Seeing as they won't back down, Naruto decided to charge at them.
On the sideline, everyone watched Naruto take on the entire kenjutsu club, by himself. Mibu was about to go in and help her kouhai(junior) , but was stop by an older student with glasses. "Captain Tsukasa..."
"Mibu. It's best that we take our leave from here."
"But!" She protested.
"I said let's go." He wasn't having any disobedience. He then drag her out of the room.
She then look back, still wanting to help Naruto. Then she gave up. "Ok..." She said weakly.
Tsukasa look back one last time and watch Naruto effortlessly take down all the kenjutsu members. "That freshman is interesting indeed." He commented to himself.
Erika was about to join in to help Naruto, but he called her out to stay out. After the fight, Naruto reach for his comms. "Ahh. We may need about half a dozen more stretchers at small gym 2."
End of the Day
Naruto stood in the First High School Extracurricular Activities Federation room. Naruto was being questioned by the student council president, chairman/chairwoman of both club management group and public moral committee. First day of recruitment week and there is nearly a dozen arrest made by Naruto alone.
"In short, the kenjutsu club intruded while the kendo club was in the middle of their demonstration for new members?" Mari summarize Naruto's report.
"You did well in going against more than 10 people." Mayumi commented.
"You keep on surprising me, Uzumaki. So, you didn't witness everything from the start?" Mari asked.
"Pretty much showed up on patrol and heard them going at it." Naruto answered.
"Is that why you didn't intervene in the beginning?" Mayumi asked.
"My job is to put a stop when magic is involved. I thought they had some competitive tension between the two clubs. I hoped that a simple match to show each other's swordsmanship would be enough to end the tension. I didn't expect Kirihara to retaliate with a spell that could kill Mibu."
"That's true. What about Kirihara and the other members of the kenjutsu club?" Mayumi asked.
"Due to his dislocated wrist and the other's member injury, they were handed over to the health committee. Nothing serious, but enough to warrant an examine." Mari answered. "Since Kirihara acknowledged his misconduct, I deemed that there was no need to take further action."
'Seems like the school wants his skills that badly.' Naruto thought. He wondered if it was someone else, would they be expelled or not.
"That should be fine. Just as you heard. Do you think there's no need for the public moral committee to bring in the disciplinary committee?" She asked the chairman of club's management. "Juumonji?"
Katsuto Juumonji was a rather large, strong man. The eldest child of the Juumonji clan, number ten of the 10 Master Clan. He was carefully watching Naruto.
"I'm grateful for your leniency. A B-Rank lethal spell was used in this kind of place and against another student. That kind of action would usually mean expulsion." Juumonji said. "One more thing, Uzumaki." Getting his attention. "Are you from the Uzumaki clan?" He asked. Wanting to know if the man in front of him from an old clan that dates back to ancient Japan. Naruto's skills would prove that he's from the Uzumaki clan, but they were known for their natural red hair. Naruto's file told him that he's naturally born with white hair.
Seeing that he was fishing for information, he decide to answer the question casually. "Maybe, maybe not."
"Uzumaki~" Mari growled. Wanting him to answer. As this was one of the question she wanted to ask when she heard his last name due to herself being a practitioner of the sword.
"You're no fun." Naruto muttered. Only irritating her once again. "I don't know." He answered seriously. "I'm an orphan since birth. Naruto Uzumaki was the name on me when I was found. I could be, but there is no way to know. I'm good with a sword, but that's not enough to say if I'm truly an Uzumaki. I could be some dead beat's child that they didn't want."
"Naruto..." Mayumi whispered. Feeling sorry for him.
"Is that all?" Naruto asked.
Taking a moment to absorb the cold reality of Naruto's birth. "Y-yes. You can leave." Naruto then left.
"What are you thinking, Juumonji?" Mari asked him.
"I think he's hiding something." He answered.
"I.. agree. Even though, Naruto's story is sad, but he's definitely hiding something. His combat ability is above a normal person. Above any student in this school. His skills would usually be found in the military or in a private organization."
"The file said that he was adopted by..." Mari went through his file she had with her. "Kanade Tachibana(1), a magic researcher at Four Leaves Technology."
"I went through the records. Kanade Tachibana doesn't exist." Mayumi told her. Shocking her and slightly surprising Juumonji.
"If his supposed, adopted mother, is a fake then how does the school accept his records?" Mari asked.
"Most likely due to someone with great influence and power protecting him." Juumonji answered. Getting an agreement from Mayumi. "Whoever is protecting him is someone high up within the Japanese government or someone in the 10 Master Clan or part of a secretive organization." He deduced. The girls began to speculate the truth behind Naruto Uzumaki.

Author Note
Happy to see that people like this story.
I saw someone ask about the alias/nickname of Tatsuya and Naruto. The name 'Wrought Iron Hero' for Naruto can't really be used because people know archer as the one that rains down arrows of death. Nothing about swords or iron. Tatsuya being nickname as Mahesvara doesn't really exist. That nickname comes from Tatsuya ruthlessly decomposing his enemy and reviving his allies during the invasion. Naruto killed all the enemy before Tatsuya could make his appearance. So neither would get those names.
I haven't read the light novel, so I don't really know how Maya really acts like. Just know that we only seen her acting towards Naruto and no one else. You only seen her as a loving mother, not as herself as the world knows her.
For pairing, IDK. Still leaning towards Mayumi, but we will see.
For those that mention about Naruto revealing a portion of his past to Erika and Mizuki, I know. It was a very early to reveal to his friends that he knew for a day. I only started writing the last chapter when I notice the Author Note for Blacklight Rogue Division. I was planning that scene for sometime later, but got caught up in writing and wrote it in that chapter. Still, deal with it. It's my choice that doesn't make sense.
Last thing from reviews, servants. They're the ultimate magician. Period. Naruto and other servants are powerful when compared to regular magician, but when compared against each other is a different story. We will get to see a servant at the end of the Enrollment arc. Be patient. I already have that part plan out... sort of. I have multiple ideas running in my head already, but can't decide on which one to do.
