Clint's POV

"Hmm…" I hummed looking at the TV.

Erina's Father was making his introduction speech, his first order of business was to dissolve all the clubs and seminars, apparently he doesn't think we need those sorts of things. The fact that his whole gimmick is that everyone should be the same, no individuality, no uniqueness it's disgusting. I'll give him credit though, he's good at convincing people he means well, most people outside of the school think he's doing things for the best, but from the inside, everyone is super on edge.

It's devolving quickly, you're either with Azami or against him. He's taken out the strictness of the curriculum, that part used to pick out the best students at the sacrifice of the weaker ones. It's his way or the highway, what he says goes.

"He's intimidating." Hisako said sitting on her couch with me.

"Yeah, and I can tell he's deadly serious." I hissed "He's done messing around with us, he's going to tear down everything to suit his needs."

"I heard one of the clubs challenged Central to a Shokugeki." She said "Maybe there's still a little hope."

"No there's not." Her Dad walked by "The games haven't started and they've already won."

"What do you mean?" Hisako asked.

I got up and walked away "Cause Eizan is on there team, they'll just pay to win."

"Exactly." Hisako's father nodded.

I went to their kitchen and grabbed a water before stepping outside for a little fresh air. I just wanted to clear my head a bit, sitting with Hisako calms me down but sometimes I just need some personal time. Still the calming chirps of the birds and relaxing sound of the breeze was interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing.

I looked at the caller ID and answered "Ibusaki, is something wrong?"

"They just showed up here." He said "Said they're gonna tear down the dorm."

"What about Erina-Sama?" I asked "Is she okay?"

"They don't even seem to care." He pointed out "Eizan is more focused on his own plan."

"Figures…put me on speaker." I said.

"Sure." I heard him press the button and place the phone down "Someone wants to talk to you."

"Eizan-senpai!" I smiled "Are you causing problems for my friends?"

"You're not even here to help yourself." He said "Yet alone them, you're a pain in the butt."

"So, has Yukihira picked a fight with you yet?" I asked "Challenged you to a Shokugeki?"

"I was just about to!" the boy in question yelled.

"Mind if I tag in?" I asked "Let's consider it my repayment for you helping Hisako during the break, and for what you guys are doing now."

"But I wanted-."

"Yukihira!" I snapped "You're too emotional, just shut up and let me take this guy on myself. For the battle that's about to come…you're too stupid for it."

Hisako's POV

"Dear." Mother walked in "Care to explain this?"

"Huh?" I looked back ans saw she had one of Clint's shirt.

"I found it in your laundry bin."

"Umm, that's…a gift." I smiled trying to fake it."

"You're a terrible liar Hun." She laughed "You're Father and I own this house, how long did you think it would take me to figure out a boy's been sleeping in your room every night for the last few weeks."

"I…figured I could swing it a few more months." I sighed.

"You should have just come to us about it at first." She frowned "We would have just let Clint stay in the guest room, there's no reason for him to be going to a hotel or sneaking around like this."

"I'm sorry Mom."

"It's fine." She sighed "You'll still be in trouble but since you were doing it for a good reason and are stressed from the recent events I'll go easier on you, you're washing the dishes very night for the next month."

"I understand." I smiled hugging her "Thanks Mom."

"Now go tell Clint to move his stuff in."

I went outside and saw Clint-kun was on the phone as I got closer I started to hear his conversation.

"Fine we'll make it official." He said "I challenge Etsuya Eizan to a Shokugeki, if I win The Polar Star Dorm will be spared, and if he wins, I'll never see Erina Nakiri again."

"What…"
