Author's Note: It looks like some people are excited for the return of Sena. Before I continue from where Chapter 9 left off, the next set of chapters will deal primarily with the events Sena went through while everyone else is getting red slips and getting expelled for being outcasts. To summarize it, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Here, Sena faces a list of troubles even when attending a new school filled with fresh faces.

Keep in mind that neither does Pegasus nor she knows what is going on for Kodaka and the other club members so life appears to look calm for Sena.

Chapter 10:

Sena at the New School

Meanwhile, for Sena…

As the school employees pack Sena's TV and game equipment and escort her, Sena's mind is filled with so much happiness. As Sena sits inside the limousine waiting for the school employees to finish squeezing in all of her equipment, she makes a comment to herself. "Man, the people in this school are awful. Nobody admires nor respects any of my qualities. All I get are boys that follow me around like dogs and a club that treats me poorly."

Pegasus smiles and laughs about it. "Are you excited about transferring?" asks Pegasus.

"Yes! 100%. I am happy that you chose me to be a role model for the new school. I will finally get all the respect and admiration that I should have gotten years back."

"Are you going to miss the club that you were in?"

"Umm… except for Kobato-chan, not really. They were always treating me poorly. I ended up making no real female friends from that club anyways."

"What about Kodaka? What do you feel about him?"

Sena's face begins to blush red. "Umm… I…" Sena quickly covers up with another statement, "Well, once I become a proud role model, Kodaka will bow down to me and finally recognize how good I really am."

Pegasus smiles and thinks to himself, "Kodaka, Hayato and I hope that you will do well. We will see each other at graduation."

The next day, Stella enters Sena's bedroom and finds her already up for her first day at St. Torox, her new school. Sena has gotten too excited about her transfer that she could not get any sleep. To utilize her time, Sena plays through another galge game on her large TV in her bedroom.

"Madam, it's time for school," says Stella as she brings Sena her new uniform. The new uniform has a blue skirt with a white shirt. It also has a silver badge to denote her as a 2nd year student. The new uniform also has the school's emblem, a golden torch, on both sleeves. Most importantly, Sena finds the new uniform more comfortable to wear, being less susceptible to heat.

As Stella pulls the limousine up to the main gate of the new school, St. Torox Academy, everyone in the front courtyard turns their attention towards the limousine. A school employee, dressed as a butler, opens the door. The first person to come out is Pegasus, the new Chairman. Everyone in school walks towards him as he puts his feet on the premises of St. Torox Academy for the first time.

"Are you the new Chairman?" one student asks.

"Yes, that is me. I am happy to be your new Chairman from now on. I will make this announcement later. But now, I would like to present my daughter, who will be one of your classmates."

Sena then steps out of the limousine and walks onto campus. Her blond hair and beautiful body quickly attracts the attention of all the male students. Since St. Torox Academy was once a boys-only school, the number of male students outnumbers the number of female students. All of the male students slowly move towards Sena. Some of the students get pulled back by their girlfriends, but most of them moves inch-by-inch towards Sena. Sena tries to get the male students to stop, but ends up running away, throwing words like "Slime, Ecchi, Pervert" at the male students.

"Come back here, daughter of the chairman!" yells the male students as they search for Sena. Fortunately, they never find her and Pegasus finally gets the male students to stop with a warning.

Next, all of the students go single-file into the auditorium to hear new Chairman Pegasus Kashiwazaki's announcement. "Good morning everyone. I am happy to announce myself as the new chairman of St. Torox Academy. My name is Tenma Kashiwazaki."

Before Pegasus, now Chairman Kashiwazaki, continues his statement, a staff member cuts in with a statement. "Oh, just a little note for all you students, you pronounce Tenma as Pegasus."

"Hey! Don't call me by that name, especially not in front of all these people!" The entire auditorium laughs at Pegasus.

"Hey! That isn't funny. It's not honorable to call your chairman that name!"

Pegasus finally calms down. "I'm sorry about that, but back to the announcement. As a former chairman of another Christian academy named St. Chronica Academy, I have the experience and skill needed to recover this academy from its current troubles. During my work at St. Chronica Academy, I modified the policies and procedures and also led a smooth transition from all-girls to co-ed. As a result, the enrollment rate increased and yet, we were able to continue to be recognized for its qualities. Therefore, I am confident that I can make the same result come true at this academy. Wouldn't it be nice to see more new faces at this academy?"

As Pegasus asks the question to all the students, many students show smiles and echo voices of "Yes" at Pegasus. Next, he brings out some of the students from over from St. Chronica and shows them to the students at St. Torox. "As you see, I have also brought some of our finest students from St. Chronica Academy. These students have the best grades and athletic achievements during their time at St. Chronica and hold many talent and skills needed to assist me in my efforts to rebuild this torn academy. Since there are many of these students here with me today, I will ensure each class gets at least 5 of these students. Be sure to treat all these students with respect."

The announcement ends and all of the students return back to class. Sena gets assigned to Class 2-1. As she enters the classroom with 4 other people, everyone's eyes turn towards Sena.

"Good morning class, I would like to present our 5 transfer students," the homeroom teacher makes an announcement. Although he gives an equal and fair introduction to each of the 5 students, everyone keeps their eyes focused on Sena. Her beauty somehow stands out from the other 4 transfer students.

During break time, all of the male students in the classroom crowd around Sena, asking questions such as "Do you have a boyfriend? Are you free today? Where did you get your beauty? How about we walk home together?" However, on the other hand, the girls become jealous at Sena.

"Wow, she's already this popular on the first day."

"Man, I wish something like this happened to me."

Despite the jealousy, Sena's first day ends on a good note. "I knew I was going to be respected like a goddess," Sena reports to Pegasus.

"I am glad you enjoyed it."

"Hmm… in just a few more months, I will become the greatest goddess to set foot in this school."

Sena's happiness increases the next day in school when a larger group of male students crowd around Sena during break time and lunch.

"Sena-sama, we, the boys in school, have decided form a new club for you… the Starry Sena Club!"

"Huh? What do you want?" asks Sena.

One of the members brings out a wrinkled paper and reads it out loud, "As members of the Starry Sena Club, we are dedicated to helping out our new idol Sena Kashiwazaki. We will not be satisfied until Sena-sama is happy."

"Umm… OK," Sena reluctantly replies.

The Starry Sena Club continuously follows Sena around, acting as her bodyguards. Everywhere she walks in school, the club members would guide her way, opening doors for Sena and showing her the path to anywhere she wants to go. The Starry Sena Club also clean and polishes all of Sena's items and furniture. On the contrary, the girls are starting to feel more jealous from Sena's growing popularity. Sena does not realize this emerging problem, even as girls start to distance themselves from Sena.

A few weeks later, Sena receives a perfect 100% on a test despite a class average of 49% and an 82% for the 2nd highest score. Members of the Starry Sena Club quickly ask Sena about her studying strategies and Sena gives a disheartening reply.

"Sena-sama, tell me your secret formula for studying."

"I'm just perfect! See? I don't have to put so much effort and look, I get a perfect score. It's just how I am."

"Oh please, Sena-sama! Give us your power of smartness! We'll do anything for you if you help us."

"Anything? How about you lick my shoes? How about letting me step on you? Maybe you'll get the power of my smartness through these."

As each member of the Starry Sena Club takes their turn licking Sena's shoes or letting Sena step on him, the girls observe Sena with disgust.

"Did you see the chairman's daughter? Look what she is doing to those boys just because she got a perfect score on a hard test. That's degrading."

"What an arrogant lady. Even though she is smart, she is useless. She only wants to show off."

The following week in P.E., the class plays volleyball. While the girls in Class 2-1 win the game by 18-0, no one feels proud of the achievement. Sena intercepts every ball that comes towards the girls and spikes them across the net. The boys, especially members from the Starry Sena Club, focus all their attention on Sena and play easy on her. They let Sena win so she can be happy. Sena also plays aggressively, making the other girls feel left out. Sena ends up playing solo for the rest of the game and wins. Afterwards, Sena brags in the hallway about her 1-woman victory with the boys. The other girls congratulate Sena nonchalantly while Sena concludes they are too jealous to admire her skills.

About a month later, the 2nd Year students visit a symphony orchestra. The students all had to sit in the cheap seats, which are located in the back of the orchestra hall on the 3rd floor. However, Sena has her father Pegasus pay ¥50,000 to secure one of the front row seats. Halfway through the performance, the conductor asks the audience members for volunteers to build a guest orchestra. Sena gets selected and tries out the timpani and the trumpets. She eventually plays 1st violin for an easy song, Lightly Row. Despite a large applause for the inexperienced musicians, none of the females from St. Torox paid attention. After the performance, all of the 2nd Year students have to write reports about the orchestra. Sena receives a perfect score and all of the other females receive 0s, contributing more grudge against Sena. As for the males, most of them do not get over 50 since they all focused too much on Sena and could not write a comprehensive report.

Sena continues to believe in her pride, thinking that people still have not fully understood her yet. Sena continues to get perfect scores. In P.E., her teammates are fed up with Sena and decide to form an unbalanced team: Sena versus all the females in her class. Sena wins the match and uses it to show off. Sena also participates in a beauty contest and wins with 60% of the votes, all from males. These achievements fuel Sena's pride.

A few months later, the grudge against Sena catches up to her. One day, the homeroom teacher hands Sena a letter. The male students all glare at the document while the female students turn away or ignore her. Sena reads the letter:

"Congratulations Sena Kashiwazaki,

The faculty and staff of St. Torox Academy are pleased to invite you to a one week stay at the newly opened Galaxy Hotel and Resort at Yokoshima. The hotel is a luxurious 5-star facility complete with many recreational activities and entertainment. There are also many dining options and apparel shops in this exciting facility.

We are giving you this offer as a treat for being one of the top ten students in your year at St. Torox Academy. To share the fun, we encourage you to invite your friends to join you. Since you are ranked 1 for 2nd year students, you may invite up to four students from this academy. You will also get the Royal Crown suite, the largest and most expensive room offered on the resort."

"Friends?" Sena stares at the last sentence. Sena then realizes that she has not made a single new friend since entering St. Torox academy. Different male students, especially members of the Starry Sena Club, try to convince Sena to invite them; Sena rejects all of them. All of the females immediately decline Sena's invitation and Sena ends up going all by herself.

At the resort, Sena looks at the other students and finds them enjoying all of the activities with their friends. Aoi Yusa plays billiard with Hinata Hidaka. Another student walks to the swimming pool with her friends. As Sena walks upstairs, she finds another student at the water slides with her friends. Finally there is group of classmates in the yoga hall. Each classmate is with their friend. Although Sena can enjoy these activities alone, doing these activities alone feels strange. Sena ends up playing her PSVita in her room, wasting the entire trip. Sena' royal suite is so large that it also makes Sena feel empty.

One week later, Sena returns home and Pegasus greets Sena at the entrance of their mansion.

"Yo, Sena, so how was the trip?"

"Umm… It was OK."

"Did you do anything fun? Did you try the awesome H90 Water Zone?"

"Umm… No."

"What about the Miniature Golf?"

"No."

"Aquaworks? Arcade? Indoor Sports? Lake Recreation? Mt. Garden?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Sena walks into her bedroom. Pegasus tries to follow her, but respects her privacy and chooses not to enter her room.

Sena lies down on her bed thinking about the trip to the resort. The trip destroyed all of her pride. Although she was excited about the trip, she had no one to share it with and thus could not enjoy many activities at the resort, especially group activities. As Sena tries to solve her depression, she brings out her PSVita and continues her galge. She completes another chapter and stops shortly.

"Hmm… Something is not right. Why couldn't I enjoy the trip? I could not do anything there. It just feels like I am missing something, that special thing."

Sena thinks deeper. "Nothing has changed since going to this school. It's like St. Chronica all over again. The only people that praise me are the boys. They lick my shoes and let me step on them. All of the girls ignore me and refused to partner up with me. I play alone in P.E. I always end up cooking alone in Home Ec."

"However, there was something at my old school that made me feel better. It actually felt like I had someone to talk to. What was it?" Sena tries to look for clues until something flies out from the pocket of her jacket and lands on the floor. She reaches for the item and looks at it.

It is nothing more than a picture of Kodaka and her as toddlers. They were both playing blocks together. It was also the same photo Sena showed to Kodaka when she wanted to discuss with Kodaka about the planned marriage their fathers had set up for them. After she showed the club members, Sena had not taken the photo out of her pocket since. As Sena looks closely at photo, memories quickly rushed into her mind.

"Kodaka… Kobato-chan… Yozora… Maria… Rika… Yukimura… The Neighbor's Club… Everyone!"

Sena starts to remember all of the activities she did together with the club. Even though she mostly played her galge games in the clubroom, she was able to do many activities together with other people such as the movie for the festival, the amusement park, the beach, and the karaoke. Since leaving the club, everything went to just like before. In fact, the VIP treatment and the Starry Sena Club have not helped Sena become a better person. It made Sena look too perfect and elite for anyone to approach her.

Sena then remembers that she had a phone call with Kodaka a few months back. Soon after, Kodaka makes another call to Sena about transferring to her school. Sena, too shy to give an affirmative answer, requests Kodaka to wait.
