Yo, it hasn't been that long since I updated this story, right?

The point with last chapter was that I wanted to change Mattheus character and role he's going to play. He'll be dragged into a world he never wanted to be a part of and now, he's forced in this role which sickens him to no end.

Still, he'll take it up and plays it out. Like I mentioned before, his sleeper like agent style will be a lot more subtle. Also, I'll be changing Ichika thanks to two other writers in the Infinite Stratos section, namely Guerrilla Sam and Imperial-samaB.

Those two guys gave me a few ideas and I'll be working it out. Not only in this, but also in other chapters.

Mattheus landed at the more than futuristic airport of Tokyo. While he was tired, he could enjoy the view. He had waken Joel up and the young, but grumpy punk was now walking with him.

"Sorry to wake you up, Joel, but I'll promise you can sleep later when we get in the car." Joel didn't take the effort of covering his mouth and his teeth were for the world to see. A few women past them, talking to their friends about the manners the boy lacked.

Mattheus and Joel looked at each other and began to laugh. "Let's go."

The two left with Joel's hand in his own, to make sure the young boy wouldn't get in lost. He saw someone he wasn't too surprised to see, but not too happy.

"Yo, Orimura-sensei? To what do I own the pleasure you came to pick me up?" Chifuyu's face got in a cruel smile.

"Well, Adjzof. It's good to see you after you skipped my classes."

"What can we say? Going to Sabaton and Iron Maiden is way better than hearing your sorry excuse for classes? How the fuck you got accepted as teacher is beyond me? I mean. I'm an IRA kid and I've got teachers who were even better than you."

Joel's answer was as brave as stupid and his older friend gave a sigh. "Can't really say I disagree." He walked past Chifuyu whose mouth has been fallen down. What has happened on those month? What happened to the calm, cool and more level-headed student?

It was like Mattheus had changed to a more cocky, rude and characterise student who would stand up to her. Chifuyu smiled. Well, it couldn't get worse.

Chifuyu wasn't alone. A driver of a school car would pick them up. With a school car, the car was in the school colours, white and the logo was very clear to see. Mattheus didn't care. Flying in the plane drained his energy more than when he made the trip by himself.

"You're quite on time. The second semester will only start in a week." Mattheus shrugged on her response. He sat down with Joel sleeping next to him. The little kid fell asleep.

"Well, that gives me time to recover and get back to training. I have lost a lot of time."

Chifuyu sighed. "Well, that's coincidental. You and Ichika will be trained by the best student in our school."

Feigning ignorance, Mattheus looked surprised while Joel had some kind of devilish smile over his face.

"Oh, really? Can you tell me something more?" Chifuyu sighed. She almost felt sorry for the poor guy. Tatenashi Sarashiki, a genius student with a horrible annoying kind of humour.

"No, I can't. How were your holidays?" Mattheus shrugged. "Decent. A number of festivals, some concerts and working on Lavathenian. How did it go with you and Ichika?"

Chifuyu got the same smile as Joel. "My summer was relatively calm, preparing for the second semester. Thank for you asking. As for Ichika, well, your influence certainly worked out."

Mattheus looked a bit shocked to hear that. Of course, Chifuyu has asked him to look after Ichika, but hoped he wouldn't take any of his manners.

"Oh, what do you mean with that?" Mattheus made as surprised remark. "Well, Ichika had all the five girls come over to him. And this is what happened."

Flashback.

In the house of Chifuyu and Ichika Orimura, Ichika had all the five girls sitting on couches while looking at them with a certain look of seriousness.

"Look, there is a reason why I asked all you girls to come over." Ichika said while going from one girl to the next.

"Oh, what is that?" Cecilia asked.

"Yes, what can the reason be, wife?" Laura stated.

Ichika crossed his arms. "I'm not your wife, Laura. And if I got a choice, it will be mine. Look, from what Mattheus has told me, all of you five girls are in love with me, right?"

The five blushes over their faces blew up their entire cover away and all the five girls looked very surprised.

Chifuyu who sat in the kitchen was quiet, but shared a look with Ichika. When her little brother asked to stay at home, that was to prevent the girls to kill him the second he would tell them that truth.

"Why has he?"

"How dare that lowly Flemish?"

"You don't believe?"

All the five girls brought out denigrating terms to the Flemish pilot, but Ichika just watched over to his sister who nodded in return.

"SHUT UP!" Ichika shouted, getting the result.

"You can say what you want about Mattheus, but there is one thing you should know about him. From the second I walked at the school till now, he was the only person that did not actively tried to kill me. Frankly, he might be the closest person to me as I begin to see him as somewhat of older brother. So when my older brother tells me that you girls are in love with me, I'll believe that."

The girls got embarrassed and horrified that Ichika spoke the truth.

"Don't worry, I'm not gay. Well as far as I go, but there is something you girls better know. At this point, I'm not looking for a girlfriend in my life. And I don't want to make a choice. So please stop."

Charlotte and Houki got a bit of a shock, but agreed. Cecilia slumped down on the chair, but Laura as Rin were a bit more stubborn.

"Like I accept that as answer."

"Indeed, as wife, I have chosen and you can't have any objection."

Ichika got a bit more pissed. "Okay, how about this? I think of all of you as annoying pains in the ass and I don't want to deal being in a relationship closer than friends with all of you. If you girls keep this up, I think the only friend I will have will be Mattheus."

End of the flashback.

"Whistle. Wow, that he dared saying that." Chifuyu nodded. She was impressed, but understood why her little brother wanted her close to him.

"It was a good thing I was around and I stopped the girls from doing anything drastic. They have taken his words and they agreed on it. Until he goes really looking for a girlfriend, they will stop the competitions they have over him."

Mattheus grinned. "Now, we're talking about love lives, what about yours, Mattheus?" The young Flemish man was surprised she used his first name, but didn't make a point of it.

"Well, not too much. I kept my word to pilot Fairs while we chatted. I didn't go on touring on the festival grounds. Besides, it's not like I show my body to everyone."

Chifuyu got reminded why Mattheus kept his life a secret. She understood, but couldn't help but smile.

"What's up, sensei?" Chifuyu looked to him and waved it off. "Don't worry. You'll see."

Mattheus nodded. "If you don't mind, sensei. I want to close my eyes. I'm really tired."

Chifuyu shook her head. "No, we'll be arriving in just a few minutes." Mattheus could see the school.

His home. At least for now.

At the grounds.

"MATTHEUS" He heard from the path. He looked over and saw Ichika Orimura running towards them.

"ICHIKA." Mattheus greeted his younger friend. He pulled the young boy in a bear hug.

"Good to see you, brother." Mattheus said, giving Chifuyu a dejected look, but decided to ignore it. Mattheus was somewhat the older brother for Ichika and she had to agree Mattheus just had that kind of aura.

"Good to you as well. It has been a while."

"Yo, you dense idiot." Ichika looked to Mattheus side and saw Joel, the young engineer sitting next to the two. "Midday to you as well, Joel. How are you?" The boy shrugged.

"Fine I guess. Things are getting better."

"Mattheus." A soft voice said and Mattheus couldn't believe his eyes. "Natasha." He stammered out. The young woman looked as beautiful as in his memories. She didn't wear the outfit on the summer, but a blue vest, similar to Chifuyu's black suit. Her trousers were in a lighter blue.

It was a big difference. Mattheus in his light green sweater and jeans who were smelly from the trip.

"What are you doing here?" The young man brought out. He had a soft spot for the woman as she was the one that entered his fantasies at moments, but he was glad to see her.

The American girl smiled and gave him a soft peck on his cheek. "I'm here as teacher. I hope we can get along well. And if you want to see me, make an appointment. I'd be happy to help you out."

Mattheus cheeks went bright red and Ichika as Joel began to laugh. "She is into you, mate." Mattheus stretched out. He was too tired to be even bothered by the events. He just hoped he could get a soft bed. Problems would be cutting close even so.

Ichika and Joel were all looking to the two. "So when did you got here as teacher? And how are things with kid?" Natasha smiled at the young male pilot.

"Oh, I got her back and modified. Luckily things cleared up. The hacker is still unfound. It enrages me that the person who has done so much harm to her is still roaming around."

Mattheus looked to Ichika and Chifuyu while Joel's face got a nasty smirk. They all had a certain idea who could be responsible for the attacks. Mattheus contact even confirmed him to who has pull all the shit that came down.

Did that woman really believed it was okay to hack into one of the most powerful players on the IS countries just to give her sister a debut?

Mattheus kept his opinion to himself, but had a hard time believing that Chifuyu Orimura was the best friend of that woman. The two were completely opposites from one another.

But hey, the same could be said for him and Natasha. She was a pilot who got her place earned and who was one of the best pilots while he just got in this mess by his sister.

She was an ultimate high class lady while he, well, he was just a guy who graduated from high school. Still, the two got along.

"So you're teacher now?" Mattheus asked with a hint of a blush covering his cheeks.

"Nice to know." The woman smiled and patted him on the head.

Despite the age difference between the two being four years, it still was evident that Mattheus was still more a boy and she was already a grown up lady. Something in their upbringing would be responsible.

"So Ichika." Mattheus turned to the other male pilot. "I heard you gave the girls a down to earth talk." Mattheus grinned. Somehow, it reminded him of the talks he gave to the girls in his class. When they were dreaming and he enjoyed pulling them down, waking them up from the fantasies they had.

They said that boys were bad in their puberty, Mattheus begged to differ.

"Yeah, thanks to you. It's stupid to believe they were actually all in love with me." Ichika scratched his cheek. "I still don't get why you have told me."

Joel face palmed himself as he found Ichika an idiot. Chifuyu mimicked the young punk. "Ichika, you're the worst kind of idiot."

Mattheus and Natasha both had their own ideas. The woman had a faint smile on her face while covering her mouth and Mattheus had a full grin on his face.

"I have news for you two." Gaining the attention of Ichika and Mattheus. "From now on, you guys won't be roommates." Both looked surprised at that statement.

"Why?" Was Mattheus reaction as his arms crossed. His look turned a bit more serious.

"Well, because the headmaster assigned a trainer to both as Orimura. That same trainer will also be Orimura's new roommate. She'll arrive in a few days."

Mattheus crossed his arms. "Okay so I move out our room, but who is going to become my roommate?" He casted a hopeful look to Natasha who gave him a smirk.

"Sorry, Mattheus. I'm a teacher, so you won't have me as roommate." Mattheus feigned disappointment by pressing his hands on his heart.

"That's hard. Ichika gets a female roommate and I don't." Chifuyu's smile became a bit more forced.

"Well, that's because Pearce will be your roommate." Joel walked to Mattheus and smiled on the statement. Mattheus lifted the boy up and put him on his hip. "Well, that makes the two of us again, kid."

"Yeah. Let's go, I'm tired." Mattheus and Joel left with their luggage and Ichika stood behind. Mattheus felt a pity coming up. He knew who was going to become his roommate and he knew the problems that would come from that.

At least, Grushavey training had made sure he wouldn't be paired up by that woman. And if he wasn't strong enough, Joel was always around him.

"So." Chifuyu looked to Natasha after Ichika left. "It seems like you have an interest in my student." The woman smiled. "Well, you can say what you want, but he is somewhat cute, strong and he likes to make his own choices. Believe it or not, but I haven't met a man who wasn't unfazed by my actions and position."

Chifuyu smirked. "That you have fallen for him, I think a lot of people would be against that." The blond bombshell shrugged.

"That might be true, but I guess this semester, things will get very intense." Chifuyu looked up to Mattheus and blinked.

Mattheus was carrying Joel in his back. It wasn't that weird to see, but the fact that Mattheus had Joel just in his back. It brought a memory back. 'You got to be kidding me. I noticed he was changed, but that he looked so much like you. It's unbelievable.'

Meanwhile Ichika threw himself on the bed. He thought about everything that happened and noticed the same thing as his sister. Something has changed in Mattheus. The calm, relaxed boy. It was like he was looking for something, being aware of his surroundings. Being on his guard. The entire time.

He thought back to what his sister said. Who would train him? What of Mattheus? Who was going to become his new roommate? If it was one of the girls and she would protect him, he wondered who she could be.

Mattheus on the other hand laid in his bed, complementing of what he has done. He had thrown himself in a situation all because of his sister's legacy. She made his path. She decided how he should fight. How he should live.

He was somewhat grateful for giving him a chance, but he would like it if she gave one care of his opinion. He would live a life that she would live. That of a top grade pilot. Of course, he was somewhat honoured. The life as a male pilot.

But what after his school? What would he do with his life? The idea of living his life as some kind of agent didn't really appeal to him. Even with all the shit, he would be used as lab rat.

And even if that wasn't the case, he thought of his personal life. There were too few women in it. Simple as that. He was a late bloomer, he has always been, and after he finally interested in a girl, it didn't work.

Natasha was someone that would come in his life, once. If he didn't take the chance now, he would never get the chance. But he reminded himself of the oath he swore.

He looked to Joel sleeping right next to him, away in the dreams. Mattheus sighed and lifted the boy up and placed him in his own bed. He noticed the painful face on his little protégé and he held the boy close.

This was the only way nightmares would go away. He smiled and fell asleep.

'Problems are for tomorrow, tonight, I wish to sleep.'

The last week of summer flew by like hell. Mattheus met the old friends of Ichika. They were mad at him for telling their secret, but Mattheus DID not care. He wouldn't care if they would stop killing Ichika every time he mess up.

Ichika and he stayed around the academy, training and sparring. His newfound training was a very nice. While he was trained in some kind of free style, Mattheus had a hard time hiding it. Luckily, Joel was ready to fight whenever he needed that. That was the most important thing for him.

Joel was around. The two were never separated. Wherever Joel was, you could bet Mattheus was around him.

The two didn't have a lot of communication with the outside world. Mattheus opened the letter that his contact gave him. Supposedly, there would be a team around, but they wouldn't come out until the school started.

Well, it was time enough for Mattheus to use his newfound skills. He trained his parkour and running in the crack of dawn, his piloting in the mornings and his hand to hand fights later. He heard a lot of Tatenashi from his companions.

Grushavey was one of her former workers before he began working for the metal claw. He told him what kind of person Tatenashi was and not one thing was likable to Mattheus. He hoped that his training and if it wasn't enough, he still had someone.

Eventually, the second semester started and Mattheus as Joel had the gut wrenching feeling that this would be a bigger pain in their asses than last one.

In the classroom, the girls who were already present looked a bit flustered. Having ideas from their favourite and only source boys (yaoi manga) entered their heads. Did they actually know that what they were imagining was quite illegal.

Joel sat in Mattheus lap, both had an earpiece in and both softly head banged on the music. Joel was making notes on Mattheus notebook while explaining a whole lot of things to him .

Mattheus followed and listened. Joel wasn't a child genius like Tabane. He was talented with technology, but to complex level of the Infinite Stratos, not even close. He just had the luck to grow in an environment that asked that of children namely a former IRA branch with Infinite Stratos.

While that may seems like a bad thing, they were also making technology to defeat Infinite Stratos. That explained why Mattheus weapons were so deadly.

"Isn't that illegal to use such a thing?" While they were in the metal claw, Joel often discussed with engineers there and they worked on Lavathenian. It was manly to preserve energy and to make sure that Mattheus could fight easier. Also that the link between him and the male unit got closer.

"Yeah, it is, but you think I would give one flying fuck?" Mattheus scratched his cheek. "Fair point."

Takatsuki approached Mattheus. "What's up, Takatsuki?" Mattheus asked in a friendly tone while making on a chain on his arms with Joel.

"Well, Adjzof-kun? That boy, who is he?" Mattheus looked first surprised, but reminded himself. Most girls didn't know of Joel. Well, it was a good time to change that.

"Well, this boy is Joel Pearce. My designer and protégé." Takatsuki's mouth made like most girls hard contact with the floor.

"That is the boy." She stammered. "Who made your IS?" Mattheus nodded. "Yep. He's a twelve year street punk. And he is somewhat my little brother."

"Little brother?" The dejection in her tone made Mattheus suspicious.

'There aren't thinking what I think they're thinking. "Yes, little brother. Why do you girls so down for that?"

"Well, we were thinking he was your uke." Mattheus cringed on the idea.

"Ugh, what part of twelve year old don't you girls understand? I'm straight to begin and I'm not a shotacon." Joel looked to Mattheus and tugged on his older friend sleeve.

"Eh, do I want to know?" Mattheus shook his head. Joel was very innocent when it came to that. In games, he would tear his enemies and he would burn things away, but this kind of subject wasn't for him. Mattheus always reminded himself he was a kid.

"It's nothing, Joel. You don't want to know." Getting the hint, Joel stopped and worked back on the little design. They saw the teachers coming in the room. Ichika wasn't there, so Mattheus guessed that would come back to bite him.

He lifted Joel from his lap and greeted his teacher. When he sat back down and took Joel in his lap, Chifuyu's hawk look crossed him. "Something up, Orimura-sensei?"

He asked politely. "Yes. Do you really think you can concentrate?" Mattheus looked a bit surprised. "I can play the Division with him in my lap. So I don't think it will be a problem." Mattheus bit off any kind of comment.

They just saw Ichika barging in the room. "You're late, Orimura."

"Sorry, Chifuyu-nee." He panted already knowing he messed up. He got a hit. "That's Orimura-sensei. And what is the reason for your tardiness?" Mattheus sighed and Joel looked surprised.

"Well, there was this girl." Ichika brought out.

"Oh and that is the reason? Dunois. prepare for Rapid Switch training, the target will be this idiot. Don't mind."

"Wowowow." Came out from the back.

"I understand you're mad because he is late, but using a Rapid Switch on him without any protection? Are you sure you're qualified for teaching, because I'm seriously doubting that." The whole class including Maya looked shocked on the revelation coming from a certain twenty year's old lap.

"Can't say that he is wrong." Mattheus dryly commented while having like Joel a more like devil-may-care air around them.

Chifuyu got a bigger vein. "Well then. Because you're so eager, why don't you play as target." She said. Mattheus just lifted Joel from his lap and placed him on the floor. "Orimura-sensei. You're playing dangerous now. This kid isn't a normal kid."

Joel made his spanner come out from his special trick and threw the weapon on his shoulders. "Be careful, girly. You're really playing dangerous." Mattheus just said back, but made Chasseur pistol come out.

Joel would most likely need that. "Before we begin. Why do you think I'm not qualified for teaching?" Joel smirked on that.

"I grew up in the IRA. I have met a lot of crazy people. But none of them had the idea of using a Rapid Switch on a person as punishment. So sorry that I say, but are you sure you're qualified for teaching? How the fuck aren't suspended?" Chifuyu's vein became bigger.

"Well, I think I'll show you manners." Her speed was high and Joel prepared himself for the hit. Chifuyu was surprised to find her book being flung out her hands and a furious Flemish pilot in front of her.

She felt something pressing on her stomach. It looked like Mattheus had pulled his Chasseur. "Let me give one warning. It will be the first, the final and the only one you all get. Don't lay a finger on Joel. Joel is my responsibility and my brother. I don't give a fuck if you're my homeroom teacher or the Brunhilde. Joel is the person I decide for."

His eyes were flaming and his face was in a furious scowl. "You can decide for your brother what is a suitable punishment, you can decide for yourself how to teach your class. But get used to the fact he will give comments on that. I got used to them and I highly advise you to do the same. But if you try anything again, I know you're stronger, faster and better than me, but I'll fight with everything I have to protect him."

He lowered his gun and gave a hit on Joel's head. "Joel, go engineering on Lavathenian. I'll catch you later." The boy nodded and gestured to sit down. He took the five brown and one white ring of his cheeks.

Mattheus walked to his seat and sat down while Joel passed Ichika who was still standing waiting for his punishment. "Oh and by the way?"

Joel used his spanner to take apart Charlotte's rifle. "I can take apart nearly every kind of Infinite Stratos by myself. It seems stupid, but from me and Mattheus, I'm the strongest." Mattheus nodded. "Good luck with engineering."

"We make our own luck."

I could write on, but I need to think about the plot for now on and how to let Mattheus work in that. Also I need to think the amount of shit Joel could pull on Chifuyu and Tatenashi before things get really messy.

I got a whole bunch of good ideas for the festival already worked out. This will be fun. But that is for next time. I'm glad I got this chapter done and I hope I get some more reviews. I know it has been shorter than last time, but I would appreciate it if my readers would leave reviews.

This shit doesn't write itself, you know and I spent a whole lot of time on it thinking about certain ideas.

Also the sleeper idea and the whole story around that, you really think that's easy.

As for the rewrite of my hacker stories what seems for some reason very popular, that can take a while. I want to work on this and I want to work the Highschool DxD fic. As for Kyrati in ISA, I'm currently out of ideas, so I'm very sorry that might take like forever before I get an update.

As for my RWBY fic, that is currently the least of my concerns and that will take a whole lot more time. The reason for that is not because I lack interest, no, it's because I have more fun doing this and I still am mad at RoosterTeeth for leaving us completely in the dark and I haven't forgiven for them for the last episode.

So I'll be working on taken from "comedy" "echhi" "harem" light novel and see how a former normal guy turned sleeper agent will work.

The reason why I put the words between inverted commas is because of this. The jokes aren't funny. I mean. Ichika messes up and gets beaten for that. What kind of fun is that? I mean. I'm not sadistic, but I can't see the fun of it.

The ecchi is a let-down, because every time that something "ecchi" happens something "funny" will happen.

And "harem." Well, I changed that plot for Ichika making sure that he doesn't want a GF, making things a bit easier with Tatenashi, but we all know that canon Ichika is one of the most dense and that's not the worst, girl allergic harem MC I have ever seen.

I mean. When I was around fifteen or sixteen, I wasn't that interested in girls as well. I just want to have fun with my friends, regardless what gender they had.

And I wouldn't have a problem with Ichika's character if he wasn't placed in something that is labelled a harem light novel. You could pull that another way.

Sorry for my rant, it has been too long since I wrote something like that in Kyrati in ISA, so that is bothering me.

As for Mattheus, I told you guys that his sleeper agent will be more subtle and briefing over than the whole infiltrating and protecting Ichika. He has his own agenda and will act like that. It will bother him and that's a part I want to exploit as well.

I mean. His life hasn't been chosen for him. He was a normal guy, but got in this world and unlike Ichika, he doesn't have really support before he joined the metal claw.

Ichika got his harem (I know, it's ironic, but at least, he has them as helping him ) and he got his sister. Mattheus has a few friends, but their roles are less than the young man.

Natasha will be more a conflicting kind of relationship. Both at different sides and both with different goals, but they'll do things that will go far, but if they don't, they feel like they'll regret that.

As for Tatenashi, she'll have a whole lot of problems with Mattheus. Not only is he older than this onee-san, but he has something else that will give our blunette a whole of problems.

What that might be, you guys may ask and I'll answer.

Sorry for the long rant, but I think this will be the most I'll give to you guys. Next week will be hectic and I got Graspop.

Saluut.
