(A/N: Here's the next chapter. Last time, Diva sealed herself away from everyone else until Hinata was able to talk with her and make up. Now we'll see what happens next.)


Diva's Test Calamity

We were in the Anti Angel Headquarters. Yuri was looking out the window. "At last. The time has finally come," she whispered out loud.

"What is something starting soon?" Otonashi asked.

"Ah, yeah," TK said.

"Angel's rampage is about to begin," the SSS leader said.

"What do you mean 'Angel's rampage'? B-but why is she going on a rampage?" Otonashi said.

Oh goodie. More fun.

"Because tests are coming."

"Huh?"

"Think about it. It's of the most vital importance," Takamatsu said while straightening his glasses. "That we attend class, and get good grades on our tests. And it's important that we excel, at least, it's important to Angel."

I looked at Otonashi who had a disappointed face. I giggled. I stood behind the chair Hinata was sitting at.

"But this testing period," Yuri said. "It's the perfect chance to make Angel flunk her tests."

"Sounds to me like you already got a plan Yurippe," Fujimaki said. "Come on. Let's hear it."

"We'll interfere with Angel's test, and make her flunk them. That'll put her as worst student in the whole school," she said, coming in front of her desk.

"So what happens then?" Ooyama asked.

"She loses face. Will she be able to maintain respect as our student body president?"

Yes. As long as you have power. You can rule anything with an iron fist, if you wanted to. Or as I think.

"Think that'll weaken her?" Noda asked.

"At the very least, the way the teachers and students will change," Yuri continued. "It will result in an unprecedented shift in perception."

"Such as?" Matsushita asked.

"I don't know. Even I can't figure that out."

I rolled my eyes. It's not like she's only one smart around here. The rests are just too stupid to think.

"Then what's the point?"

Yuri ignored him and seemed to be in a trance for a while before the room got dark and she put on her beret, just like on any other operations we've done thus far.

"First off I'll determine who'll participate in this operation," Yuri said. "I pulled some strings to get several of us in the same testing room as Angel."

"I don't see why we don't just surround her," Fujimaki rebutted.

"Yeah right!" she shouted, slamming her fists on the desk. "That won't happen! We can't afford any mistakes! If they discover our operation midway, we'll be sent to different classes. We won't to be able to insure Angel gets zeros."

"I see," Noda said. "I'll pass on this mission. This sort of sneaking around is for pussies."

"The participating members will be," the purple haired girl continued. "Takamatsu, Hinata, Diva, Ooyama, Takeyama, and Otonashi."

"Huh? Not me again," Otonashi whined.

"Will you please call me Christ?"

"I merely chose normal looking people," Yuri stated, ignoring Takeyama. "Now then. Operation; start!"


Yuri, Otonashi, Hinata, Ooyama, Takamatsu, Takeyama, and I were all in the testing room.

"Sitting arrangements will be decided by lottery in the morning of the test," Yuri explained. "Listen up! Get the seat right in front of hers."

"Don't ask for the impossible," Otonashi complained.

After a few drawn seats later, Takeyama somehow ended up in front of her. Now everyone was gathered around Yuri's desk. She was explaining the plan to us. After the first few words, I drowned her out as she was so boring right now. It wasn't when they all asked for Angel's name that I came back to reality.

"What should I put on the test for her name?" Takeyama asked. Everyone froze at that.

"Angel?" Takamatsu suggested.

"Stupid. Wouldn't student body president work?" Hinata asked.

"That's good," Ooyama said. "She's stupid enough to put I want to be a dolphin trainer."

I slammed my fist on the table, startling the others. They can't be freaking serious!

"You mean, you morons never knew her name this whole time?" she growled angrily. Hell yeah I was angry. I know what it's not like to be living without an actual name to call oneself. I've been there. Without a name you are just a thing, an object. And these damn humans we're doing the same thing to Angel. I actually thought her name was Angel this whole time. But now I know her name isn't Angel. It's not even close. If you're going to acknowledge someone as your enemy, at least, learn their actually name, and don't just make up a fake one. That's just despicable.

"I'm surprised none of you know it," Otonashi said.

"We never had a chance to learn it," Yuri said simply.

"There's a shocker," the red-head said, sarcastically.

"Then you go look it up," she ordered. "Go to the teacher's office, and check the class roster."

"This stinks," he grumbled about to walk out to the room, only to be stopped by someone grabbing his sleeve. That someone being Angel.

"Where are you going?" she asked. "The test is about to start."

"W-well, I'm getting nervous, so…" He stopped himself. He started pulling his hair. I merely watched in amusement.

"Are you that nervous?" Angel questioned.

"N-not really."

"Relax. It will be okay, uh…" She tilted her head.

"Oh… I'm Otonashi," he introduced himself. "Actually I don't know your name either. What is it?"

"Who me? I'm Tachibana," Angel introduced herself.

"First name?"

"My first name? It's Kanade."

"Kanade Tachibana…nice to meet you. Thanks a lot Tachibana," he said, one hand behind his head. "You really helped me calm down."

"Well, good luck," Kanade said as they both went their separate ways.

"She's Kanade Tachibana," Otonashi said as he came up to the rest of the members.

"Yeah. That's her name alright," Yuri said defiantly.

"What? You already knew?" he said in disbelieve.

"It just slipped my mind." The teacher came in, and the testing began.


After the testing was over, Hinata got up from his chair.

"Hey! What's that?" he said in a panicked voice. "There's a huge bamboo shoot coming out of the ground!"

Ironically, I was sitting behind him, leaving my ass off. Hinata was making a complete fool of himself. What made it more funny was no one was paying attention. You tried, Hinata. The blue haired sat back down in disappointment.

As he sat down, he was suddenly sent flying, crashing in to the ceiling. He fell down and groaned in pain. My stomach hurt too much from laughing.

After that, we all gathered around Yuri's desk.

"I planting a jet engine under your seat just, in case, you failed on your mission," Yuri said smugly. "How was it? How did you like blasting off?"

"I whammed into the ceiling, and crashed within seconds," Hinata said, angrily.

I couldn't help it. I was still giggling at his misfortune.

"Sweet Hinata went up, up, and away," I said teasingly.

He turned to me. "It's not funny Diva!" He turned back to Yuri. "I'm amazed you made a rocket engine, at all!"

"You should be grateful I helped you out in the first place," she said in a you-better-be-grateful-or-else tone of voice. "Our plan worked…didn't it, Takeyama?"

"Without a hitch," he replied, propping his glasses. "Now call me…"

"Well, your up next, Takamatsu," she said, cutting him off.

"Huh? Well, what should I do?" he asked.

"You need to distract everyone."

"But wasn't that Hinata's job?" he questioned nervously, propping his glasses.

"Ever heard of 'the Boy Who Cried Wolf'?"

"Repeated lies lose their believability."

"Exactly."

"Is that why you enlisted so many people?"

"Maybe."

"I quit!" Takamatsu shouted.

"Just do it," Yuri said with a dark smile.

"Give up, and fly," Hinata said, putting his hand on the other male's shoulder. "Then ram into the ceiling like I did."

"Oh man," Takamatsu said nervously. "Now I got to think of something that will distract everyone."

"But I don't understand what you will like for me to put in for the next set of answers?" Takeyama said.

I sighed. His job was pretty simple. I mean, all he had to do was to put stupid answers on the freaking test. I had Chevaliers back when I was alive, and they were never this stupid.

"What do you have to worry about," Hinata scoffed, crossing his arms. "You're just taking the test. You don't have to fly to the ceiling."

"What are you talking about?" Takeyama retorted. "I'm taking huge risk participating in this mission."

"Then swap out with me," Takamatsu suggested.

I was giggling at their petty argument.

"No way!"

"See," the bluenett countered. "Your job is easier."

"This job requires my vast intelligence," he explained. "You don't to think to get sent flying."

"What was that? Are you calling me stupid?"

"ENOUGH!" Yuri screamed. "KNOCK IT OFF! ALL OF YOU!" This caused everyone to freeze, and look at her. Kanade got up from her chair. "Oh crap," she whispered.

Otonashi quickly went to stop the problem.

"Sorry," he told Kanade. "We were arguing over the answers. We just reached a conclusion. We discovered Hinata scored a zero. Everything's okay. There's nothing wrong. Sorry for the fuss. We're all fine."

"I see," Kanade said, and sat back down in her chair. The SSS sighed in relief.

"Stupid," Yuri said to Hinata.

"You mean you," he argued back. A few more minutes of talking later, and we were beginning test two. After the test was over, Takamatsu ripped his shirt off.

I face palmed.

"I look so scrawny when fully dressed," he told the teacher.

I kinda wanted to laugh at the same time.

"I see," the teacher said. "Now sit back down."

"Yes, ma'am," he said, sadly. He failed in his mission, too, causing him to blast off into the ceiling.

"Man. I can't believe you had enough confidence to try pulling off that lame distraction," Yuri said.

"I thought it would work," he explained. "It was unpredictable. I don't look the type. I've been training in secret."

"Whatever," Hinata sighed. "Just get dressed."

"You pulled for us, right, Takeyama?" Yuri asked him.

"It was a breeze," he said. "Now call me…"

"Next up is Ooyama," she said, cutting him off.

"I just knew it," he said. "I don't have any tricks up my sleeve."

"Ooyama? Aren't you sitting diagonally behind Angel?" Yuri wondered.

"Yeah, that's right. Does that mean I'm off the hook," Ooyama said, hopefully.

"If you ask Angel out."

"Huh?" His smile dropped. "Ask her what?"

"Ask Angel out on a date," she repeated. "I'm sorry to ask this here and now, but I've always loved you. Would you please go out with me this Saturday night?"

Ooyama had a horrified look on his face.

"I won't send you flying, if you say it just like that," Yuri said.

"Man," Hinata grumbled. "You just have to ask her out? That's not fair."

"Not for me," Ooyama retorted. "Put yourself in my shoes. You gotten off with just physical damage, but this is super emotionally scarred. This is my first time asking a girl out. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I just know she'll turn me down flat."

"Ah! You wimp," he teased. "This is perfect training for you."

"Jerk! Unlike you I don't have to train. I take my crushes very seriously."

"What was that? You make it sound like my romantic relationships are dirty lies!"

I kinda frowned at that. I never knew Hinata has dated other girls before...or he could just be saying stuff just 'cause. That must be it, right? But then, why in the world do I care? He's only food to me and nothing more. I must be losing my mind.

"ENOUGH!" Yuri screamed out. "KNOCK IT OFF! ALL OF YOU!" Everyone froze. Kanade got up from her seat, and Otonashi went to stop her.

"Sorry," he said, nervously. "Yuri is mentally unstable right now. Just last she had a dream with Hinata in it. 'I don't think of me as the same man as me of yesterday or tomorrow. Be careful.' That's the warning he gave her," Otonashi explained. "He was just telling her that he truly did warn her about that."

"So there's two Hinatas?" Kanade wondered.

"Uh…"

"There could even be three of him."

"Y-yeah, sure. I guess."

"Oh, dear."

"She's calm down, so thanks for your concern." Otonashi sighed, coming back to the group.

"There's at least three of me?" Hinata grumbled.

"WHO'S mentally unstabled,?" Yuri complained.

"Hey, now. I was covering your backs," Otonashi argued.

A few more minutes later, and the third test begun. After they were done, Ooyama confessed to Angel, only to be shot down. Yuri pushed the rocket button, but really surprised everyone…is that she went blasting. And no just any blast off. A spiral blast off.

I was laughing my ass off. You see, I kinda did a few adjustments to the blasts and thought it would be better and funnier if it was the SSS leader. And boy, was I right.

After Hinata and Otonashi pulled her down from the ceiling, cause her head was stuck, Yuri was pissed as hell. I was still laughing. It's really funny to watch a leader make a fool of themselves. Refreshing, but mostly hilarious!


"They're started to spread," Yuri said as all the Battlefront members we're gathered in HQ after the testing period.

"Huh? What are?" Otonashi asked.

"Rumors claiming Angel got zeroes on everything," she answered. And all of her answers were made to mock the teachers."

"They're taking it that far?"

"What the heck did you guys do?" Noda asked, swinging his halberd.

"I went flying, spiraling around the room, and tossed out the window," Hinata explained.

I giggled.

"Why did you do that?" The halberd wielder asked again.

"Don't the teachers realize that someone set her up to make her fail the exams?" Otonashi questioned.

"Quit making me repeat myself!" Yuri said, annoyed. "The teachers can't figure that out. It's just like in the real world. The student body president has turned in ridiculous answers. As such, it's only natural for her to get some kind of reprimand."

"Did Tachibana defend herself?"

"Don't know, but it happened in all her classes. How can she explain herself to all of her teachers?"

"No doubt the teachers probably view this as a single student acting rebellious," Hinata inputted.


A several days later an announcement was made to the school saying that Kanade has been demoted as school president, and Vice President, Ayato Naoi will be taking her place.

"She didn't quit," Yuri said, smugly. "She was fired. I wonder now if she's able to stop us now that she's been humiliated, and demoted to normal student status? We're doing Operation: Tornado tonight."


We did Operation: Tornado, and successfully got their meal tickets. It was a disappointment for because Angel didn't play with us. After that we were eating in the cafeteria wondering what to do next. Otonashi suggested Angel could join us now. Fujimaki started yelling at him for suggesting something so stupid. I scoffed. I have done far worst stuff than Angel has. But it wasn't my fault. The humans started it. I was just retaliating.

"They would never understand," I whispered to myself.

"Who won't understand?" Hinata asked as he was sitting across from me with Yuri beside me, and Otonashi in front of her.

Darn. Too loud.

"Oh nothing," I said with a smile. "Excuse me." I got up from my seat, and left the cafeteria. They definitely won't understand. I walked the halls, doing what I usually do for food.


(A/N: Testing period. Nothing much to say except for hilarious blasts off. Wonder what will happen next.)
