After that, the class resumed as normal with the ocasional glances and whisper.

After class before alex could be swarmed by girls, he pulled a houdini on them. He activated his cloak when no one is looking and sliped pass the confused crowd.

Alex wonders around the campus looking for a place to sit and think, he found a small little corner with no one around.

Alex sat there, he picked up his smart phone started searching up on cecilia. After a few minutes of searching he found it and he immediately thought she'll lose.

Even if alex is not the opponent, cecilia still have a clear disadvantage. She is a sniper, she is not meant to fight in an arena with no cover. Her IS has an accurate aiming system and a high powered sniper rifle both of which is unsuited for arena fighting, her shots may be powerful but it takes to long to charge and shoot and you can also see where she is aiming because of the long barrel.

While it may not seem much but if you add them together it makes a fatal weakness, you could easily dodge her shots as you can see when her shots will be fired and where she is aiming at.

The only thing that is a threat is the tears or as alex calls them funnels, they can be very troublesome but is has a weakness, it's unsheilded and can be shot down also if you shot them down she can't replace them. So alex's plan is shot down the funnels and moves in for the kill.

After he finished planning what to do, alex hears the bell signaling for the start of his next class.

With things planned out alex couldn't help but form a smirk on his face as he heads back to class.

Meanwhile in Houki's room.

Houki started bombarding Ichika with questions, unfortunately Ichika being 'a man must keep his promise' couldn't answer Houki's questions.

Houki kept bombarding him with questions trying to force him to answer but to no avail.

Unable to get anything out of him, Houki gave up and gave Ichika the cold shoulders treatment with the evil eye.

The next day.

Alex attends class like nomal while the people around him kept staring at him an Ichika, this was espicaily true for Houki.

She kept giving both Ichika and Alex the Evil eye.

Alen being a Spartan candidate and an ONI agent could naturaly withstand the death ray like gaze.

Ichika on the other hand looks like a vampire under sun light.

'from the looks of it he still haven't spilled the beans yet' Alex thought seeing Ichika being focused fired upon by Houki's evil eyes,

This continued through the lesson, Alex being nonchalant while Ichika looks like a turtle afraid to leaves his shell.

When lunch came Alex stood from his sit and went to Ichika's.

Alex asked Ichika to have lunch with him.

After saying that the whole class gasped.

"kyaaaaa!" screamed one girl.

"could this be real?" questioned another.

"Alex and Ichika...they are" said one in the crowd before adding "Kyaaaa!"

And with that wurmers and whispers spreads throw out the class.

With Houki on the other hand, she has this strange expression on he face and silently whipering to herself.

"but...but they are both boys"

Of course with Alex trained ears he heard that and formed a smirk under his hood.

He grabed Ichika's hand to lead him to the cafeteria.

Seeing Alex and Ichika holding hands the girls gasped.

"its real!" one girl in the crowed said.

This stared another round of discussion amongs the crowed.

As Alex and Ichika were about to leave Houki comes in and said.

"wait! Let me join you to!" she said frantically.

And Ichika just replied "well sure Houki, but i will have to ask Alex if it fine for you to join us" Ichika said this thinking about his secret, even though it's no secret now it's better to ask Alex in case they have to discuss somthing important.

Unfortunately for Ichika others around him had taken it differntly, from the perspective of a bystander it looked like he was asking permision from his 'boyfriend'.

'this is so much fun' Alex thought before replying "it's fine, she can join us"

And with that they heads to the cafeteria.

But as they were leaving through the door.

Alex's trained ears heared the crowd in the class burst out and started disscussing among themselves.

"Kyaaa! Houki is trying to take Ichika from Alex" one girl who watched to much TV drama said

"forbidden love" one girl with glass who read to much yaoi said.

"i'm rooting for you Houki" cheered one girl

"""Nooo!""" a few girls protested

"Ichika and Alex are perfect for each other" one girl from the 'yaoi faction' said.

"yeah!" another from the same faction agrees.

"and Alex was there first" one gril added

"Nooo your wrong! Ichika and Houki are childhood friends. Houki was there first" and a new faction arises 'the childhood faction' Alex dubbed them.

And that started a string of debate and more faction rises.

Meanwhile Alex, Ichika and Houki are now sitting on a table staring at each other.

They don't know who should talk first. Ichika doesn't want to break his promise even though it's no longer a secret. Houki is nervous and a lot of different things are running through in her mind and Alex is just silently enjoying the show.

This mexican stand iff eventually ended when Houki made the first move.

"so, Alex whats your relationship with Ichika" asked Houki this alerming a few near by girls whos been eavesdropping on them.

"can't you see we're close male friend, isn't that right Ichika?" Alex said that as he puts his arm around Itchika's shoulder. This caused the girls to gasped and making the misunderstood.

Ichika just let it be as a lot good friends put arms around each others shoulders, he assumed Alex's weired way of speacking is just beacuse he is not familiar with japanese.

"yeah" seeing nothing wrong Ichika confirmed with what Alex had said surprising the the girls.

hearing this Houki's face darkens as she thought 'Nooo! this can be! How could Ichika changed so much while I was gone?' she questioned before thinking up a reason 'maybe because i wasn't there when he needed me. I shouldn't have lift' she thought as she regretted leaving Ichika.

"How long have you two been" she didn't finished her sentence as Alex cuts in.

'can't let this end here now can we' Alex thought as he cuts in and said "since yesterday"

Hearing that Houki 's face lightens up and hope appeared in her eyes ' there is still hope yet, it's still not to late for him to turn.' realizing this a small spark started in here eyes 'I'll have to make up for the time i wasn't there and put him back on the right path' the spark turned in to fire and determination sets in here eyes.

She looks at Alex and give him a glare that says 'i'll have Ichika back'.

Alex reading her like a book just smirk and gave her 'A bring it on' look.

Those around them hearing the the rumors hunderstood what those glares mean, this is a declaration of war! The people watching this whipered amongs themselves and started spreading the rumor.

Ichika who has no idea whats going on could only gave a confused expresion as Houki and Alex stared at each other.

Lunch time ends and Alex prepares for his duel with Cecilia.

Alex went to the arena to find a large crowd gathered there.

Alex over heard a girl's converstion with her classmates

"quickly come over here" a girl waved to her friends "The match between Alex and Cecilia is about to start"

"whats the rush? And who's this Alex any way?" said a girl.

"it's Alex! The Alex from America and the one in the videos!" the first girl screamed to her friends.

"what! That Alex and he is here!? And a match with Cecilia!?" her friends said out loud.

'seems like i'm quite popular' Alex thought as he continues to eavesdrop trying to hear what the people thinks of him.

"Yess! That Alex and he's attending the academy as America's representative!" the first girl said to her friends excitedly.

With that said they hurries in to the arena not wanting to miss the action.

Alex continues his way through the crowds of people.

Inside the arena he saw Cecilia is waithing for him, with an arrogant pose.

See that Alex quickly gets in and matterialized his IS.

Standing in 10 ft tall taller than most IS, with a large back unit on it back the promethean stuned every one.

With it's design and it's awed everyone with it's elegance and brilliance.

'Forerunner technology does that to people' Alex though as he sees every one admiring his IS.

Cecilia snapling out of it first said this to alex "i'm surprised that you haven run away"

"oh i wouldn't miss this for the world but enought talk i came here to fight" Alex replied.

"hmmp you took the words out of my mouth"

With that the match started.

Cecilia flew high up in to the sky and took aim at Alex with her rifle.

Alex didn't move, wanting to test his sheilds against the weapons of this world he would let her hit him a few time to see how much damage her attacks could dish out.

'he stupider that i thought' Cecilia thought as he fires her rifle.

Alex didn't doge and just let te beam hit him.

The shot is like taking a hit from a covenant plasma rifle but since his suit is at least 6 times stronger than a mjolnir mark VI the shot did little more than reduce his shielding about one percent.

(Yes the promethean armor is at least six times stronger than mjolnir mar VI, guilty spart did said to master chief that his armor should be at least class 12 and the armor he was wearing is only class 2. Meaning that the prometheans the one who is always fighting the flood should be at least be 6 times stronger or class 12.

Saying that, that doesn't mean that the mjolnir is weak it could survive a drop from orbit, like in Halo:reach. I doubt even the space marines from the 40k universe could survive that)

Seeing him talike the full blast from Cecilia's sniper rifle and the little drop in shield strength made every stopped stunned.

Than what happened next stunned them even more, Alex's shields started regenerating and pretty soon it's back to full health.

Making the last scene look like a fragment of their collecteve imagination.

Then Alex materialized his MA5D assuilt rifle, the futuristic assuilt rifle has a certain elegance to while not like his armor which it is made by god like aliens beings. This wespon is made by the years of hard work by humanities best and brightest.

This gun is the UNSC main weapon for a reason low maintenance, never jams, can funtion in almost all environments, cheap to produce and effective. This weapon is what killed the most covenant more than the MACs or Spartans or Nukes (well maybe discounting admiral Cole's last stand which involes nuking a gas giant wiping out a fleet of covenant ships)

Alex hold the rifle in his arms and dashed out, zigzagging his way to Cecilia's position, even though Alex is not using his full speed it's still quite fast.

Cecilia finally snaped out of it and started to deploy her funnels.

Her funnels scattered and started to shoot Alex from seemingly random directions.

Even though the shots would do little to no damage at, Alex still doges all the beams coming at him from different directions.

The sensors in his suit is telling him where the funnels at and where they are aiming, so all he has to do is doge the beams.

He doges the beams acrobatically and eleganly while not slowing down at all.

(to help people visualize. go watch Halo Legends The Package, it will help)

Alex jumps and spins in mid air as beams narrowing passes his body.

Alex holding his rifle in one hand aims at a funnel.

He lets out a burst and a swarm of bullets shot out from the gun.

The MA5D was use to shoot through much powerful stuff than that the armor the funnel had so the bullets tore through it like nothing.

Usualy going full auto means that the shots are going to be inacurate but with the aim assist and spartan training Alex had, made his shots very accurate.

Using the recoil of his shots, he fillps back and a shot passes below him.

Getting a clear veiw he shots down the funnel.

Like the other one his bullets tore through them, it fell and explodes.

Finishing his fillp leaps to a nearby funnel rifle butted it destroying it in the processes.

Turing to his left he shots a funnel there and the recoil of the gun to help him turn faster he turns right and shots down a funnel.

He finishes the last funnel by shooting behind his back without looking.

Finishing the funnel, he head straght for Cecilia and gave her a full auto burst as gets closer.

His rounds hits her shield and her shields drains at an alarming rate.

Seeing Alex coming at her guns blazing she lunches her missiles.

Seeing this Alex aims his gun at the missiles but his gun ran dry, he quickly swiches to the M739 Squad Automatic Weapon or SAW.

He aims his gun back at the incoming missiles that is now very close.

He let lose a hail of lead but was only able to destroy one.

Alex quickly materialized the M6 at his other hand and finished of the last missile just a few feet away from him.

Without the missiles Alex continued his advance all the while his gun continuously rain bullets on Cecilia.

Being suppressed by Alex's unending stream of bullets made all Cecilia's shot missed.

He finally gets close, Cecilia tries to get out a final shot but was stopped as Alex uses his pistol deflect her long snipe rifle.

He puts the SAW in he stomach and lets lose flood of bullets.

It didn't take long for his her shield to finally reaches zero and the match ended with Alex as winner.

Different POV

In the obsevation room before the match started.

"hey sis, why did you called?" asked Ichika

"i told you it's senei" Chifuyu said while hitting Ichika with a board.

"i called you here to observe this match, you might pick up a few things from him" Chifuyu said while making Houki who is standing next to Ichika winced.

Then the match started.

They all soon watched the match.

Seeing Alex's IS made them awed in its craftmenship and high technology.

Then Chifuyu realized something was off.

"Hey Yamada" getting the green haired teacher's attention "how much shield strength he's got" Chifuyu asked not seeing numbers in his shield indicator.

"well you see his IS is different than most IS, it's programing is very alien and can't be translated in to our systems, the only thing we could translate is the percentage but once we see his IS gets hit we'll be able to know how strong it is"

Not long after saying that they saw Alex getting hit and it dropped by only a little bit, barly nicking it and soon it regenerated, every eho saw it doubted thrir eyes.

"did his just get shot and regenerate?" Houki asked this not beliving her eyes.

"yeah" replied Ichika meekly.

This also stunned Chifuyu but her face didn't show it 'if his shields could regenerate than he's almost certainly going to win and Cecilia's attack only such little amout's of damage. Even without it Alex will be the winner...The Americans realy made a monster this time'

"Yamada?" she turned to her friend for explanation.

"yes well." she said while looking out it but soon started typing buttons on the key board before saying "the damages he has taken amounts to about 1 percent and not long after that his sheilds regenerated"

They were not given time to digest as Alex soon materialized a futuristic gun in his hand and rush forward at incredible speed zigzagging left and right, having sharp turns without lossing speed.

"Incredible speed" exclamed Houki

"Yamada what's the weapon he is using" asked Chifuyu.

"form the data it is called the MA5D and one of America's new experimental assuilt rifles...for infontry with a 36 round magazine capacity and thats all the data i have on it"

Soon after saying that they saw Alex lets out a small burst taking down a funnel.

"such moves, reflexes and acuracy. He's a male pilot like me " said Ichika with an admiring look.

'impressive Ichika better watch carefully you might learn a thing or two from him' Chifuyu thought.

Meanwhile Houki who saw this cringed.

soon they saw Alex giving Cecilia a full burst of his assuilt rifle.

The damage it did is incredible for an infantryman's rifles as they saw Cecilia's shield dropped about 10 percent and that with half a clip.

'The damage it did! And that's with an infontryman weapon!? America what have you been doing?' behind the hard exterior Chifuyu is as stunned as anybody.

Alex's gun ran out bullets, he soon swiches it a new gun with a drum magazine, shot down a missile and on his other hand he materialized a pistol and shot down the remaing missile.

With that move even Chifuyu is impressed.

"whats the weapon he is mow using?" asked Chifuyu as she saw Alex used the with great accuracy.

Yamada typed in a few button before repling "they are the M6 pistol and the M739 Squad Automatic Weapon or SAW for short. They are all... Infatrymen weapons " Yamada and all thoes around couldn't belive it an infantryman's weapon is beating an IS.

Then Alex won and cheers erupted a cross the arena.

'An infantry weapon beat an IS.' Chifuyu grimaced at the implications before heading of the room to deal with the mess.

-Story end-

Sorry for the late up date but i have been busy with other fics besides this one.
