Chapter 12

Climb for the Sake of Our School

Hello people. I'm back and guess what exam week is over.

Isn't that great?

No it's not.

I didn't have any exams this week which means I'm going back to school on Monday.

So I thought why not make the most of the week and release about four chapters.

Of A Fantasy World.

LOL. You guys are too funny.

I releases a one shot for Fairy Tail, and for Maid-Sama. And then I also released the first chapter of my latest fan-fic A Scientific Love Story. Including this new chapter that makes four.

So enjoy, this one. And be sure to check out all the other ones.

Reviews are always welcome.

Also if you have any questions or requests, could you PM me instead of just sending it to me at the review section. It's hard for me to manage all that.

Enjoy~

At the Arena

Misaki watched the arena as they cheered for her team but not necessarily for her school.

She knew she should be happy because they were cheering for her, but even so, it wasn't fair for the rest of them to be treated that way.

Kuga, and Aoi could pretend they didn't care all they want, but even so…

She knew them far too well for that.

Deep down they were hurt. Most definitely.

"Misa. MISA," Misaki jolted at the sound. She looked to her right to see Yuuji waving a hand in front of her face. "Were you daydreaming again?" He asked.

She shook her head, and for some reason he smiled. "What?" She asked arching an eyebrow. He just shrugged and patted her head. "You're so cute when you're flustered," he told her with a toothy grin.

Misaki frowned and batted his hand away. "Idiot," she mumbled under her breath. He chuckled much to her irritation.

She was about to climb up the steps to join Master Jest when a certain negative aura captured her attention.

She felt like someone was watching her; and who did she find when she turned to the source of the energy?

Takumi Usui Walker.

He was glaring at Yuuji. Come to think of it he glared at Hinata a couple of times too. It was almost like he didn't want them around her.

Was he...jealous?

She had guys like her before but none of them ever got jealous. It made her feel sort of weird.

"Misa," she shook out of her thought when she heard someone calling her name.

"You've been day-dreaming a lot today," Master Jest claimed as she walked up the steps to stand where he was. The seating area for Yumesaki Seika was right next to that of Miyabigaoka, so she could practically feel Takumi's eyes on her. She dared not to make eye contact. She could feel her face getting redder by the second. Out of the corner of her eye she saw him chuckle.

"You're so cute when you blush," Yuuji claimed as he poked her cheek. Takumi's frown was back again.

"Ladies and gentleman," Takashi their school's announcer, and the AW'd DJ held up the microphone in his hand. "Let's begin the first trial," he announced. "Schools, pick your representatives."

"I'll go," Kuga yelled out before everyone else. Misaki somehow knew he'd be the first to go. Master Jest nodded in approval. If only they knew what the task was. Sadly the task was revealed after the representatives made it into the field. Hopefully it didn't deal with heights. Otherwise Kuga was doomed.

"Who's going from your team?" Master Jest asked her. Misaki looked at her teammates. That idiot Kou wasn't there today. He was still at that convention Master had sent him to.

"I'll go," Yuuji spoke up for the gift. Misaki he gave him a questioning look. He just smiled as he said, "I'll be fine." With that him and Kuuga made it towards the battlefield.

"Let's introduce our contestants," Takashima yelled into the microphone. The crowd cheered.

"From Miyabigaoka Tomu Umekoji. From Hakusen we have Tadashi Karino. From Ouran High we have Hikaru Hitachiin. From Kokusen Academy we have Kabuto Masuhiro. From Yumesaki Seika we have Kuga Sakurai, and from Yumesaki Seika Level X team we have Yujiro Ono." The crowd cheered louder as Misaki crossed her arms to see what the challenge was. As if reading her mind Takashi revealed the challenge.

"Today's challenge is," the arena soon began to fade, and so did the scenery. Illusion magic. Misaki thought to herself. Just because it was an illusion, didn't mean it wouldn't hurt. Misaki had learnt that a long time ago.

A mountain appeared, and Misaki gasped. Kuga too yelped. It was dealing with heights. Poor boy was doomed. But she needed to have faith in him. Him and Aoi always surprised her.

"Climb to the top. You are allowed to attack other players on your way, to make them fall off. Rest assure they won't get hurt since we have nets hanging below. First one to make it to the top wins six points. Last person will win one less than the person before them. However if you don't finish at all than you won't get any points." Was it just Misaki's imagination or was Yuuji slightly paler than usual.

"Let the first round begin," Takashi announced as the bell was rung to signal everyone to start.

The students from Kokusen, Ouran and Hakusen were already in the lead. Leaving Tomu, Yuuji, and Kuga at the back.

"And the first place winner is Kokusen's Kabuto Masuhio," wait what. Misaki squinted closer to get a better look at that guy. He was a tall boy with broad shoulders. He had this mischievous grin on his face as he stood at the top of the mountain, looking down at everyone else. The guys from Hakusen and Ouran hadn't even started but he knocked them out beforehand.

They managed to get up still, and continued to climb the mountain. But for some reason Tomu, Yuuji and Kuga were still behind. Tadashi and Hikaru from Hakusen and Ouran were halfway there but the other three hadn't even started.

All Misaki saw on the scoring board was that the guy from Kokusen face with a six next to it. Indicating he won six points. Everyone else at zero. Just then Hikaru earned four points, and Tadashi earned five. The crowd cheered at their victory. Their schools cheering the loudest.

What was going on?

Why were the other three still halfway the mountain?

They all looked so pale, and that's when it hit her.

They were all afraid of heights.

No wonder they all looked so pale.

Miyabigaoka students and Yumesaki Seika students began to laugh at how weak the stronger students could be sometimes. Misaki supposed it made them feel good about themselves. She smiled at their teammates pitiful auras.

Just when Misaki thought things were getting entertaining things began to get gloomy. Tomu caused it.

He had decided to withdraw. "We'll win the end so I don't need this," he said as he got on the net.

"Why don't you just give up?" There were mikes everywhere, so the whole arena could hear him.

"What?" Kuga and Yuuji asked in unison.

"I said why don't you guys give up." Kuga and Yuuji just looked at him dumbfounded as they struggled to climb.

"Would you answer me one thing?" Kuga looked back at Tomu. "Why did you decide to participate? You guys are the worst school in the land. You don't care about what others think of you. You do everything at your own pace. You don't care about your reputation. You don't give a damn about anything. So who are you doing this for?"

"We're doing this for our friends," at that everyone went silent. Kuga had said something that shocked everyone. "Our comrades they all work hard everyday. They continue to stride towards their own paths no matter what anyone else tells them. They don't care about the negative words of everyone else. They do what they think is right. We're doing this for all of them. We're going to make sure that everyone here knows that that's why Yumesaki Seika will be number one."

"WOW KUGA," Students of Yumesaki Seika had begun to cry. Even the Master shed tears of joy after hearing Kuga's speech. And the best part so had the audience. All those books had turned into cheers, as Kuga and Yuuji finished in last place.

They gasped for their breaths, and for the first time in so long Misaki too cried.

Takumi smiled at the beauty in front of him.

So what did you think?
I'm definitely crying right now.

Review, fave and follow.
