I don't own Megaman nor Maid-Sama except the transformation, new characters, and new Battle Cards.
I deeply apologize for the big delay. I've been struggling with college.
I don't want to hurt the UsuiXMisaki fans out there, but I want to try and see if Misaki Ayuzawa is capable to be a StarForce member, and have Tendou in Usui's place.
Chapter 3: School Festival / The Arrival of Megaman
The third day of Seika High
Another fine morning
Tendou strolled his way to Seika High in his usual outfit. When he made it to the front gate, he saw Misaki giving morning greetings to the other students, who were entering the building, with a small bag in her left hand.
"Ohayo (Good morning), Tendou!" she greeted him nicely.
"Ohayo, Misaki." he greeted back with a small smile.
In response, Misaki stopped and realized a certain incident happening yesterday.
She moved closer to him and whispered, "Say, Tendou, about my part-time job you went yesterday... "
As Misaki continued, all the male students saw him at the entrance. With smiles on their faces, they decided to give him a morning greeting.
"3... 2... 1... Now!" They all turned to him and raised their arms in the air. "WELCOME, ALMIGHTY GOD OF HEAVEN! !" they bowed down to him. When they all finished, they laughed hysterically, poking fun at his name again which means "God".
Tendou was unfazed by the mocked greeting from the male population; he ignored them. But Misaki wasn't. She didn't like the way they greeted him. He had been in Seika High for only two days - including today which makes three. She turned to them and gave them an evil glare with a fiery aura around her. The guys yelped when they saw the Kaichou. They didn't notice she was having a chat with the new kid.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH! ! IT'S THE KAICHOU! ! !" They all immediately fled to the school building.
Misaki then noticed something from Tendou's outfit. He wasn't wearing any of the school uniforms.
"Tendou, are you really sure you want to keep wearing like that in school?" she asked curiously. She pictured the female population might not increase if he kept that outfit around.
"I'm fine with it. Uniform or not, I'm still okay with it." he answered before walking towards the building.
"Hmmm?" Misaki stared after him, wondering why he wouldn't have acquired the Seika High uniform. Sure, he just transferred from his school a couple days ago, but knew she shouldn't rush to get him one. She decided to wait until then. "He's a strange one, after all." she said to herself before giving more incoming students a welcome greeting, then just realized she still had his Reborn Gundam T-shirt inside her small bag. "I forgot about his shirt." she sighed in disappointment, but decided to return it to him later.
In the hallway, as Tendou proceeded to his classroom, he saw the same three lunatics from yesterday who tried to hurt Misaki. They were spreading rumors to other students about him when he saved Misaki with his abnormal strength.
"I'm telling you! That new kid is not human! He has a monster that turns into a giant sword!" one of them shouted in a frightened tone.
"No joke! He has a strength of a gorilla!" the second guy added.
"Just when we were about to teach Kaichou a lesson!" the third guy whined, wiping his tears with his right arm in an act.
However, the other students weren't buying it.
"Yeah, right. Like we would believe you. We've known you guys for a while, and you're good with pranks." a male student dismissed the story.
"There's no way that new kid would be that strong, let alone have a transforming monster." another student snickered.
"BUT IT'S TRUE! !"
Tendou sighed from such childish commotion they were making. He quickly placed his Hunter-VG on the center of his waist as it shot out a silver belt strap, wrapping around his waist. He activated "Clock Up" while in human form as the scene around him began to slow down. He passed through them and walked towards the classroom before his Hunter-VG's Clock Up announced, "Clock Over," and the world reverted back into its original motion.
Later at the gymnasium
All the guys gathered outside the storage room. Two students in their gym uniforms were having a difficult time taking the locked chains out from the door.
"Crap, there's no way I can undo this!"
"AAAAAAHHHHH! ! ! LET ME OUT! ! !" a voice screamed desperately from behind the heavily locked door.
The two male rescuers couldn't believe their Kaichou would do this to their friend. They were just having a little fun!
Tendou, in his own sweatpants, was walking past them until one of the male students noticed him and called for him.
"Oh! Hey, new kid!"
"Huh?" Tendou turned to the commotion with a bored expression.
"Kaichou's terrible! She locked him in there and told him to "reflect on what he did" or something!" he cried.
"Misaki did something like that?" he blinked.
"Yeah... "
They explained to Tendou how it happened...
*Flashback*
Gonda, the one who was locked inside the storage room, drew large pinkish red kissy lips with a red marker on his belly with black dotted eyes on his chest, shirtless. He was practicing his belly dance for the upcoming festival in front of three girls, who were frightened of him. The guys were cheering for Gonda on his performance until Misaki caught them.
"YOU GUYS! !"
The guys gaped at her sudden arrival, and the shirtless Gonda was frozen on the spot.
"I-I'm practicing the performance for the school festival... " he explained, shivered in fear to see her wicked demonic mode.
"I told you I wouldn't accept any performances for the festival that would scare the girls!" she told him between growling.
"Why not? Look! Aren't you girls having fun~ ?" Gonda happily jumped towards the three frightened girls, then she caught him with her right hand.
"Gonda... " Misaki gave him a wicked glare and tossed him in the storage room, "You can sit there and reflect on what you did!" With that, she shut the door and locked it with chains, leaving him in the storage room filled with darkness.
*Flashback end*
" ...and that's what happened!"
Tendou couldn't believe his own ears about Misaki locking him up in the storage room. All because of his lame belly dance?
"And what does this has to do with me?" Tendou asked blankly.
"We need you to open this door, please!"
Tendou sighed and turned away, "Hey, it was his fault for acting stupid in front of the girls. This has nothing to do with me." he headed towards the locker room with both hands in his pockets.
"O-Oi, new kid, please! Don't be like that!"
Seeing the new student walking away, the guys huddled up to think of a solution to help their poor friend inside the locked storage room.
"What do we do now?" one of the guys asked.
"Yeah, what now?"
"All we can do now is to steal the key from Kaichou!"
"But how?"
"If we don't take her by surprise, there's no way we would stand a chance against her!"
Eavesdropping on the last guy, Tendou froze with a frown. He didn't want them to lay a finger on Misaki as a way to confront her. Unlike them, he wasn't one of them. While the guys weren't looking, he quickly took out his Hunter-VG and placed it on his waist from underneath his shirt as it shot out silver strap around him.
"Batoru Kaado (Battle Card). Pawaa Buusuto (Power Boost)." he muttered.
"What if we all attack her at once?"
"Probably."
"Move." Tendou interrupted coldly, approaching towards them.
All the males complied and scampered away from him. Tendou stood in front of the locked up storage door and grabbed the lock with his right hand. He fiercely ripped the chains out in one pull. All the guys bulged their eyes at his strength in utter disbelief. They never knew he would have such strength like that.
Tendou dropped what was left of the lock on the floor and opened the door to see a shirtless Gonda on his knees, who was happy to see the light again. He coldly stared at the shirtless guy, "I hope you learned your lesson. The next time you do it again, I won't help you, got it?" he said to him sternly before leaving.
Gonda jumped towards him with waterfall tears, "Why, new kid! ? C'mon!" he whined, but the latter ignored him while proceeding to the locker room.
"Seriously, what's with these guys in this school?" Tendou asked himself, wondering why all the guys were acting so idiotic.
He finished changing his sweatpants to his usual outfit and exited the locker room. He walked into the hallway and felt bored as usual; he found nothing interesting. As he continued walking, he heard a room close-by that had a voice with full of pride. He slid the door open and saw the room was a Student Council, guided by Misaki on his first day.
The black-haired girl noticed him from the doorway, who interrupted her speech. "Oh, Tendou? What brings you here?" she asked.
"Thought I heard someone making a prideful speech."
Misaki snapped her right hand with a proud smile, "You're just in time to hear about our new theme for the school festival!"
"Tendou, please sit wherever you like." one of the Students Council guided him in the room.
Misaki cleared her throat before continuing. "The theme... for this year's school festival... is this! Neo-Seika High!" she finished, unrolling the poster to all the members of the Student Council. "A school festival is a great chance to improve the image of a school!
All the guys in the Student Council didn't catch a single clue about her theme of the school festival called, "Neo-Seika High". The picture of Neo-Seika High was much clearer than the actual Seika High, which was nearly old.
"I don't know about the poster... " Yukimura thought to himself while staring blankly at it.
Tendou was quite confused about the poster and the name of the school festival. Somehow, it didn't really fit Misaki's image at all.
" "Neo-Seika High" is a great theme for it! With this refreshing image, we'll clear ourselves of our reputation of being called "foul-smelling, vulgar, and savage"! Our goal is to have even one more cute girl enroll in our school next spring! I swear by the name that I'll sweep away the foul smell of men in this school!" Misaki finished her speech with a sinister grin, noting that she hates all men.
"Is that what she said to Kaa-san about Neo-Seika High yesterday?" Tendou asked thoughtfully.
"But Kaichou, our school isn't actually as refreshing as this poster made it out to be... " Yukimura looked at the document in his hands.
"Isn't it kind of deceiving?" one of the male Students Council asked, but their Kaichou slammed the board harshly.
"What can you accomplish with an attitude like that! ? It's up to you all whether this turns into a lie or not! You need to work together to make this school festival as refreshing as we say!" Misaki barked at them.
Tendou blinked from her prideful action for the school festival, but didn't understand why it was to get rid of the boys in this school. Sure, he did research about this school before transferring, that all the male population was skyrocketing than the female.
But her real goal was to achieve more female for this school?
"Geez, Misaki... you're really harsh about this school festival, aren't you? What you're forgetting the most about this school is that you really need to fix this building. It feels like it's about to fall apart soon. You should really be focusing more about the building than the girls." Tendou said nonchalantly in his mind, looking away while sitting in his seat.
While the male Student Council members were talking about the school festival amongst themselves, Misaki exhaled from her speech and glanced at the silent Tendou. She thought he might be interested about the events. She wondered what kind of a decent idea he had for the festival to convince the girls to join this school. She was hoping he wouldn't have any sick ideas like the boys in this school that mostly tried to scare the girls away.
In her thought, she claimed the boys didn't want any more female students.
Unexpectedly, the door opened with a group of male students with angry looks on their faces. One of them had his arms crossed with a paper in his right hand. They were all glaring at the Kaichou. Especially Gonda, who was freed from the locked up storage room by Tendou.
Tendou didn't see the guys coming, but that many at once? He had no idea what had gotten into those morons.
Misaki didn't expect them to be here, but ignored them with her eyes closed. "You guys actually brought a half-decent idea this time, I hope?" she said, opening her eyes at them unenthusiastically before sitting in her chair with her arms crossed.
"It was an idea for the school festival the whole time?" Tendou shot at her, seemingly now confused with the meeting.
Gonda was the first to speak, clenching his shaken right fist in disappointment. "W-We... gave up on the belly dancing... "
"OF COURSE, YOU DID! !"
All the guys walked in front of the Kaichou's desk and the one who was holding a paper stood at the center, facing her.
"We realized that we were thinking too hard about finding something new and interesting." he said before placing the paper on the desk.
"So, we're going back to the basics... " another one followed.
"We decided on this!"
Misaki leaned her head forward to examine the paper, " "Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament, Challengers Welcome"?" she stared at them in disgust.
Dropping his mouth, Tendou gaped with his eyes widened in shock, then his body shivered. He could hardly imagine that disgusting scene in his head when the school festival arrived.
"WHAAA! ! "STRIP ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS TOURNAMENT, CHALLENGERS WELCOME"! ! ? ? WHAT KIND OF A SICK IDEA DO THEY HAVE IN THEIR BRAINS! ?" he shouted inwardly in disbelief.
"Rejected." Misaki simply declined.
Hearing her rejection, the guys began to complain.
"Why not! ?"
"This is a traditional feature in the Seika School Festival!"
"There's no such tradition." Misaki replied coldly.
"We did it last year and everyone loved it!"
"Everyone, as in you guys only." she pointed.
"And what's wrong with that! ? A festival is for us to enjoy!"
Tendou shook his head in disappointment. He couldn't believe the guys in Seika High, minus the ones in the Student Council, who didn't have a brain to come up with an appropriate idea for the festival. He could come up with a better one than them without any perverted ideas to disappoint Misaki and the other girls.
"The theme for this year's festival... " Misaki shot her evil eyes at them with a demonic glare, "-is NEO-SEIKA HIGH! What I'm looking for is something refreshing that would appeal to the girls!"
Tendou nodded in agreement, knowing she had more common sense than these morons.
The horde of male students were intimidated by her glare, shaken in fear.
"T-Then what about a photo shoot at the pool starring female models?" one of them asked while shuddering.
"No." Misaki declined.
"Screw that crap!" Tendou retorted in his thought, slightly frowning.
"M-Mixed gender mock cavalry battle tournament?"
"No!" Misaki rejected again.
"Take a hike!" Tendou nearly shouted. He couldn't keep up with the heated temperature rising up in his head.
"A-A sumo tournament with girls only?"
A tick mark appeared on Tendou's head, "ARE YOU GUYS STUPID! ? GO BACK HOME AND LEARN SOME RESPECT! !" he yelled inwardly, his temper was reaching the limit.
Misaki stood up from her seat and gave them a harsh scolding, "DID YOU EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT I SAID! ? HURRY UP AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING HALF-DECENT! ! CLASS 2-2 IS THE ONLY CLASS THAT HASN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING YET! !"
"It's because you rejected everything we bring up!" one of them answered.
"Just accept one of them already!"
"Do you actually think she will accept any of these crappy stuff! ?" Tendou shouted in his mind again, his tick mark increased; his left eye twitched.
"SO COME UP WITH SOMETHING I CAN ACCEPT! !" Misaki barked at them with a hateful black aura, flowing around her body.
The guys were intimidated by her scary aura. They didn't understand why she wouldn't accept any of their traditional requests. One of them looked around the room and saw Tendou in the room the entire time.
"HEY, LOOK! ! NEW KID IS HERE, TOO! !" he shouted, alerting every guy as they turned to him.
"Huh?" the irritated Tendou eyed at them.
"NEW KID, LET'S SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! !"
Now all the guys pleaded him for help desperately with tears in their eyes. They simultaneously called out "new kid" multiple times, begging him for help non-stop.
Misaki turned to him, wondering what his response to their so-called "Traditional School Festival". Her heart was wishing for him to reject their ideas as well.
Tendou sighed irritatingly and got off the seat, walking to the desk in front of Misaki with both shoved hands in his black jacket pockets. Standing in front of her, neither of them said anything, but they didn't know where to start.
Misaki just stared at him, waiting for him to speak.
The spiky brown-haired turned to them and asked in a normal tone, "What do you want me to do?"
The group of male students paused in confusion and just realized he knew nothing about their "Traditional School Festival" until now.
"Oh yeah, he's new to this."
"New kid, read the paper! At least, I'd already put the details in there!" one of the guys praised himself.
Tendou picked up the paper in his right hand and read the entire detail about their "Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament, Challengers Welcome" for the school festival. Misaki gulped, thinking if he was like every other guy she hated. She wished for him not to be like them.
All the guys pleaded their hearts out for him to make Misaki accept their idea for the traditional festival, awaiting the results with full of pride.
As Tendou finished reading it, he placed his left index finger and thumb on the top of the paper. Next, his right index finger and thumb moved next to his left. Suddenly, Tendou tore the paper in half before ripping them into smaller pieces.
Widening her eyes, Misaki didn't expect this to happen. She was really surprised to see Tendou destroying what was left of their "idea".
All the guys' hearts shattered when they saw him ruining their traditional festival idea. They didn't understand what was with him, nor do they know why he was neglecting their precious idea! A few of them had fainted to the floor.
"NEW KID, WHY! ! ? ?" they all shouted.
"NEW KID, WHY DID YOU DO THAT! ?"
"NEW KID, DON'T TELL US YOU'RE WITH KAICHOU! ! ? ?"
"...Do you want to know why?" he asked irritatingly in a deadly monotone.
"Eehh?" they all froze, watching him turning around to face them.
Tendou shot his death glare with pure hate at them. He finally released all of his anger he had been enduring from Misaki's rejections.
"This. Is. A. Disgrace!"
Misaki was astonished. She had never known there was a good side in him, unlike them. With a small smile on her face, she was starting to like him.
After school, Tendou entered Maid Latte by himself while Draco remained inside his Hunter-VG. He opened the door and was greeted by the same Kaichou, wearing a pair of pink cat ears on her head. Both stood frozen on the spot.
"O-Okaerinasai G-Goshujinsama (M-Master)... " Misaki greeted between stuttering.
"Y-You're wearing... cat ears... ?" Tendou muttered uncomfortably in confusion.
Misaki groaned, "Why does he always have to come here after school?" she asked herself.
Tendou walked past her and took a seat without her guide. "Uuuhh... Misaki, can I have my order?" he called out anxiously.
Misaki moved closer to him and whispered harshly, "What are you doing here! ?"
"This is the only place I can find to eat sweets." he answered dully. "Got a problem?"
"*sigh* Listen, if someone else happens to see me like this, my reputation as the Student Council Kaichou will plummet!" she hissed at him.
Tendou looked behind her, then back to her. "Well, tell me this. What about those three freaks in their La-la Land? And how come they're not like the other morons in school?" he asked.
"Huh?" Misaki turned her head to the Moron Trio, who were fawning her from behind.
"Cat ears... " Ryuunosuke spoke.
"Misaki-chan as the Kaichou, and Misa-chan at Maid Latte... " Sarashina followed.
"The gap between those two is what it's all about." Shirakawa finished as the three continued staring at her nonstop.
"Now that you mention it, I don't know what changed them." Misaki thoughtfully realized.
Tendou started to find something suspiciously weird about those three. Why weren't they like the other guys back at school?
Something didn't feel right.
"Exactly when did they change themselves before I enter Seika High?" he asked her.
"That was four days ago. AND wait a minute, this has nothing to do with the school festival!" Misaki faced him with her hands on her hips.
"The reason why I'm here because this café has such a nice atmosphere. Plus, this place seems very relaxing." he answered truthfully.
Misaki gave him one last look over, then sighed in defeat, continuing her work. Relaxed or not, there was no way she would force him out. On the other hand, she still thought he might have exposed her secret.
That night
Misaki finished her night shift and changed her maid outfit into her normal outfit with a hat in the locker room. Since Tendou had already left Maid Latte, she couldn't give back his shirt that she borrowed in front of everyone in the café; she decided to head to his house before hers. She exited the back door with a bag that contained his Reborn Gundam shirt in her right hand, but stopped in her tracks, almost startled to see someone unexpected in front of her.
It was Tendou, leaning his back against the wall with a bored look on his face.
"About time you're done." he spoke dully.
Misaki quickly shut the door to prevent her co-workers from seeing him. "T-T-Tendou! ? How long have you been standing there! ?" she asked, almost in a whisper.
"Since I left. Something's been bothering me when I first saw you here. Why are you working this café at your age?" he asked in a bit of curiosity.
Misaki didn't know what to do until she heard Honoka's voice behind the door, who was about to leave apparently. She quickly approached him with her left hand on his right arm. "Let's take this somewhere else." she dragged him out of Maid Latte as Tendou followed.
"Okay."
Misaki led him to the park as they sat on the bench. She explained everything to Tendou about her family's circumstances, and that her mom had been having a hard time of working.
"Oh, I see." Tendou spoke, finally understanding her reason.
"You see, Tendou, I'm having a rough time too. As a Kaichou, I can't allow my grades to drop. I can barely manage both." Misaki said, gently gripping her hat.
Tendou exhaled, "Wow, this is hard to believe. Misaki as a Kaichou and a maid... That's gotta be tough on you for playing two different roles."
"Oh, and Tendou, can you please keep my part-time job a secret? Away from others? Aside from my family?" she pleaded him.
Tendou didn't understand why she wanted him to secure her personal job from all her classmates. He thought about it for a moment. During the two days of knowing her, he had already pieced everything together as he turned to face her.
"Sure, since it's your personal life, I'll keep your secret safe." he answered sympathetically. "That's another secret next to Megaman." he added it to his thought. "But wait, what happened to your father? Why isn't he around?" he asked curiously, realizing the missing part.
Misaki froze at that question. She remembered her father left over a huge debt and vanished years ago; she was betrayed by the man she trusted the most. Almost feeling angry, she frowned and looked slightly away.
"Tendou... please don't."
Tendou's eyes widened in a sudden realization. He didn't know why he asked her that.
"S-Sorry, I-I didn't mean it!"
Misaki shook her head, "Tendou, it's alright." she suddenly remembered the bag of a shirt in her hand, "Oh, here's your shirt I borrowed yesterday. And... " she looked away from him with a small blush before finishing, "A-Arigato... for saving me back there." she handed the bag to him.
"No problem." Tendou smiled at her and looked away as well after taking it.
The next day in the Student Council Room...
"OF COURSE IT'S REJECTED! !" Misaki yelled at the guys in disgust and hate - again.
Sitting on a desk close by the window from the corner, Tendou sighed heavily from the group of male students' next lamest idea; he knew this might happen again.
"WHY! ?" they all complained.
Misaki shoved another one of their suggestion papers at them with her left hand and glared at them. "WHAT MAKES THIS "COSPLAY HEART-RACING BLIND-DATE STRIP ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS TOURNAMENT" HALF-DECENT! ? ARE YOU GUYS EVEN LISTENING TO WHAT THE GIRLS HAVE TO SAY! ?" she shouted harshly at them before turning to the three girls from the corner. "What do you girls want to do?" she questioned them normally.
"Huh?" One of them jerked her head up at Misaki, startled by the question.
"Um... a café, maybe?" the second girl answered.
"Now THAT is normal." Tendou muttered to himself, complimenting the girls in relief.
Misaki immediately wrote down the idea on the list. "Yosh, Class 2-2 will be hosting a café." she paused and thought about asking for Tendou's idea. "Tendou, what about you? Any ideas?" she asked him nicely.
The boys gaped in complete astonishment. The Kaichou's being nice to new kid! ? And not them! ?
"Fortune telling?" the spiky brown-haired quickly answered.
Misaki and the three girls were surprised to hear that. The four of them thought about it for a moment.
"Okay, then it's settled. Fortune telling it is!" Misaki added Tendou's on the list.
The group of boys gasped in disbelief to hear the girls and the new kid's ideas for the festival. They didn't understand why theirs wasn't decent, but the girls and new kid were! They continued to complain.
"HEY, THAT'S SO NOT FAIR! !"
"YOU'RE TERRIBLE! !"
"THIS IS TYRANNY! !"
"HOW COME NEW KID'S WAS DECENT AND OURS WEREN'T! ?"
Tendou's left eye twitched from their complaining. He felt like exploding if any one of them asked another stupid question.
Misaki's face was filled with rage. "I GAVE YOU SO MANY CHANCES TO BRING ME A DECENT PROPOSAL! !" she stood up from her seat and roared at them.
All the boys fled for their lives, screaming like little girls.
Misaki sat back down and huffed with her arms folded. Honestly, she couldn't believe those guys. Tendou simply shook his head in disgust.
"But is this really okay? It's like we just decided on our own." one of the three girls asked in concern.
"It's not your fault, though." Misaki simply answered.
"If possible, we would have liked to cooperate with the guys to have a fun school festival!"
"Don't worry, it'll be fun." Misaki smiled before turning to Tendou, realizing about his suggestion. "Tendou! Thanks for your decent idea!" She gave him a thumbs-up with her right hand.
"No problem." Tendou smiled at her compliment.
And so, the preparation had begun for the school festival.
Misaki was taking Tendou on a tour of the festival since it was his first time as a new student. It was until she had to check one of the classrooms and angrily gaped at the sight. Tendou wondered why she made such a face until he took a peek at the room, he was a bit confused.
In that classroom, the boys covered the entire window with curtains and added pink balloon-like seats in heart-shaped, written "Love Love" on them. One of the boys had a projector on the floor, pointing at the ceiling with countless stars.
"What's with this "love love" seat?" she questioned them irritatingly, gripping one of the seats with both hands. She had the urge to rip it to shred.
"We figured that couples would want to sit together and hold hands at a planetarium!" one of the male students answered happily.
The dumbfounded Tendou was in disbelief from the answered boy's idea. "Isn't that illegal to do that in school? It feels like you morons are trying to take the advantage on the girls." he questioned thoughtfully. He finally understood why Misaki made an angry face a few moments ago.
"GET RID OF THEM! !" Misaki demanded.
"EEHH! !"
The group of Students Council appeared behind her and took the entire accessory out of the classroom. The boys were saddened by their loss festival.
"They're unnecessary. The theme is a wholesome planetarium that girls can enter." Misaki pointed triumphantly before strolling to the next room.
"That... was... lame... " Tendou commented.
"I know, Tendou. These boys are so despicable! They just don't understand about the girls' population!"
"What do you mean by "girls' population"?" he asked in confusion.
Misaki stopped in her tracks and turned to him. She wasn't sure if it was right to explain the detail to him about this school. Since Tendou was nice and all, and wasn't like the other sickening boys, she could, at least, trust him.
"You see, Tendou, a few years ago this school used to be an all-male school. Most of them are savage and revolting without caring. It was then I, the first female, became the Student Council Kaichou. When I first entered this school, I had witnessed so many disgusting supplies and foul stenches. Back then, before you came in, all the vulnerable girls could do in front of those men throwing their weight around was to endure the horror. Whenever they had cleaning duty and such, they constantly let the girls to do their job and selfishly ran off for their freedom. The girls weren't able to reject them, but I'm the only who would give them a large punishment for those who neglect their duties." Misaki explained the whole detail to Tendou, who was incredibly astonished from hearing how those morons do their jobs. She looked at him and saw his shocked face from listening to her explanation. "Well then, since you now know about this school, I think you don't want me to give you a huge punishment - if you dare to slack off on your duty." she teased him, thinking if he refused to do his duty.
Tendou snapped himself before retorting, "No way, if you give me a cleaning duty, then I had to do it. With my Clock Up." he added it in his thought with an evil snicker.
"All right then, let's check the next one." she said as the two of them moved on.
When Misaki checked the next room, she saw only a few girls were working on their café role. The two of them asked her to see the menu and the design for their café. Misaki gave them some advice for them due to her experience from Maid Latte. The girls didn't know how knowledgeable she was, so one of them complimented her. Misaki suddenly realized about her skills, but lied it was her little sister's job.
"Geez, Misaki, you almost blew it." Tendou thought and noticed a girl was having trouble lifting a heavy desk table. He walked over to assist her. "Here, let me help."
"Arigato!" she thanked him happily, seeing how nice he was.
Misaki and the two girls were amazed to see his unselfishness. They didn't know he would be this nice to help out. Unlike the male students, they were just loafing around.
In another classroom, the boys made a haunted mansion in their ghost, monster, and demon costumes. From the look on their faces, they were having too much fun to scare the girls' pants off.
When one of them was running around, he immediately stopped in front of the angry Kaichou and screamed in horror.
"I thought I said no to boys dressing up as ghosts and monsters." she told them solemnly.
"What, why?" one of them complained.
"Because there was a scoundrel last year who threw his arms around a girl, taking advantage of the situation." she answered with a tick mark on her head.
Tendou was not impressed of their haunted mansion idea. That explained why she kept rejecting their ideas for the school festival. She knew if they come up with an idea, they might do inappropriate things to the girls.
"We won't do that! Nee~ (Right)?" the three guys said in unison.
Somewhere around, there was a girl running in fright from one of the male students who dressed up as Frankenstein. When she passed through Tendou, she hid behind Misaki as the guy bumped into him from behind.
"Got you now! My~ you're as flat as a pancake!" the Frankenstein costumed boy playfully roamed his free hands on his target's chest, rubbing them in joy - without seeing who he was touching.
Tendou was incredibly disgusted from this moron, being molested by his filthy hands. His temper was rapidly increasing from this lunatic's stupidity.
Misaki, the frightened girl, and the three costumed boys were completely frozen in disgust to see him touching Tendou. This was something they did not expect to see.
"Oh man~ if only they were bigger~ " he backed up and opened his eyes, then froze in pure horror. "Eh... Ehhh... " Sweating like a waterfall, his whole body turned white from touching a chest he didn't know.
Tendou balled both his hands into fists with intense anger. His blood was boiling rapidly like a volcano. Turning himself to the left side and glaring at him with his demonic eyes, he wanted to give this moron a piece of his mind for being stupid and a simpleton!
"NEW KID IS A MONSTER! ! !" the entire costumed male quickly dashed out the classroom while carrying their unconscious friend with broken teeth.
The pissed off Tendou heavily panted after giving him a beatdown for molestation. For Misaki, she had to make a mental note for herself, "Never provoke Tendou". Other than that, she had never seen him like that. At least, that guy got what he deserved.
The girl thanked him and left the room to help her friends for the café.
"Misaki!" a girl called her from behind.
Misaki shrieked to see Sakura in her witch costume and Shizuko in her ghost lady outfit. She even added a small tape on her right len, drawing a crack len with a black marker and a fake blood on her face.
"Doesn't this look good on me?" Sakura asked with a smile.
"T-Too good." she answered nervously before Shizuko approached closer to her face.
"I'm not too outgoing, but since I accepted the job, I wanted to take it seriously." she said in a slow ghost-like tone.
"Misaki, is it okay to leave the guys from Class 2-2 alone? They seemed sort of depressed." Sakura asked worriedly.
"Eh? They're probably planning something stupid again." Misaki answered nonchalantly with her arms crossed.
"Hmmmmm~ " Sakura then noticed Tendou standing behind her friend. "Oh, hi, new kid! Say, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?" she asked.
Tendou finally caught his breath after venting his anger from that loser before facing the dark salmon pink-haired girl. "It's best you don't want to know." he answered.
Inside the storage room where Tendou helped a shirtless Gonda.
The entire male student was laughing maliciously with their shining eyes while huddling up together in a cramped room.
"Now I get it." one of them said in amazement from hearing his friend's scheming idea.
"Okay, let's go with that."
"I can't wait to see the surprised look on Kaichou's face."
Outside of the storage room, Draco had his back leaning against the wall and eavesdropped the entire detail from those hooligans. He turned himself into a small ball of light and flew away to make his report.
Maid Latte
Misaki opened the back door and dumped out two bags of trash. She closed her eyes with a sigh, thinking about how her manager and Honoka were assuming she was being too negative on her job. She opened her eyes and was about to dump them into the trash can, but unexpectedly saw Tendou standing meters away from the trash can.
"Hey." he greeted.
This time, Misaki let out a big, heavy sigh. "You sure are having lots of free time." she commented, taking one bag and dumping it.
Tendou helped her and took the second one into the trash can.
Misaki smiled at his assistant. After knowing something about Tendou in just three days, she knew he wasn't like any other men. For example, she knew most men act on impulse, doing things that girls didn't want them to do that doesn't even bother them. All but for Tendou, he seemed nice and caring, as if he was another version of her.
"Arigato, Tendou. Say, what brings you here?" she asked.
"Just to give you a heads-up warning about those losers. They're planning to plot a hostile towards you and the entire girl in the café classroom due to your hating and nagging." he informed her solemnly.
Misaki was a bit surprised to hear Tendou's report about those disgusting males. She didn't expect this from him. This was the first time a guy informed her with concern. She breathed through her nose before giving him her reply.
"Tendou, I'm very grateful for your concern, but... "
"But?"
"I'm fine with it. Even if they start their hostility toward me, I can take care of it."
"But what if you might not be able to do a thing after that?" he questioned her, feeling a bit more concern.
"Tendou." she raised her voice, which startled him. "For the last time, I'm fine with it! As a Kaichou, I'll take care of it!"
Tendou wasn't really sure about this. He had a premonition about this. If things went bad for her, he didn't know how or what to do to help her in that kind of situation. But first thing for him, he had to blend in with those morons slyly. He had to regret working with them.
And so, the day of the School Festival had arrived
There were plenty of girls entering Seika High for the festival. The guys were pumped up after seeing so many females in their sight. Misaki scanned the area where a few male students were greeting them nicely. She just hoped Neo Seika will be reborn as a refreshing school next year. She smiled and hoped this School Festival turn out well to welcome more female population.
In the storage room, the boys were practically prepared for their main event.
"Alright, does everyone have their costumes on?" the leader asked beforehand.
"Ossu (Yeah)!" they all replied confidently.
"We've worked hard for this day!" one of them said, feeling prepared.
"We even sewed together costumes, although none of us were used to stuff like that!" another one said. Most of their palms and fingers were bandaged up.
"We won't let Kaichou get in our way! Besides, once we get things started, the ball's in our court!" the leader stated until the room was dead silent. They hadn't realized Tendou was standing right by the doorway.
"NEW KID! ?"
"H-Hey guys, mind if I join in?" he asked them nicely in a fake tone.
Misaki was on her way to check on Class 2-2 for the café. In addition, she hadn't seen Tendou around. When she made to the classroom and slid the door open, she gasped in utter disbelief at the sight.
The whole classroom was filled with a bunch of boys in different costumes. They even added their sign on the wall called, "Battle Cosplay Café for Men!". Tendou was also in this room, too. Unlike the boys' costumes, he was wearing a blue tuxedo? He was serving tea to one of the female customers.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS! ?" she shouted.
"M-Misaki-san! The guys suddenly barged in here earlier and ranted on about how their troops have seized this land or something!" One of the girls wearing an apron explained while trembling.
"WHAT! ?"
"Sorry, Misaki." Misaki turned to see Tendou walking towards her, "These guys somehow found me and begged me to join them nonstop just because they heard rumors from those three thugs the other day. I couldn't stand them but to join their lame plot." He checked the boys before leaning closer to her, finishing his line in a whisper. "I'm only doing this to please the girls, not to hurt them."
"Oh." she was relieved to hear that.
The door slid open with more guys and brought two more girls, who looked frightened.
"Hey! We've captured POWs! Your human rights are being respected! Just calmly sit down and order a-" Before he could finish, his face turned blue from the Kaichou's hateful aura.
Misaki yanked one of them and gave them a harsh demand with intense rage. "All of you, out in the hallway."
All the male complied, even Tendou. He was leaning against the next classroom door while others were on the floor, being scolded by their Kaichou. Somehow, he felt sorry for the boys, but couldn't show it to them after what they had just done to the café.
"What on earth is this all about! ?" Misaki demanded.
"What's wrong with it?" one of them complained.
"You said "café", so we made it better by adding cosplay!"
"We asked the girls for their opinions!"
"We want to enjoy the festival too!"
Misaki was shaking in frustration from their complaints. She had had enough of them. "There has to be another way for you to enjoy it! Instead of kicking up a row like idiots, why don't you all try to be more useful! ? Like Tendou, for example, he's been in Seika for only three days, and he's doing a good job at it! Why can't you all be more like him! ?" she pointed.
Tendou shook his head in pity, feeling sorry for those morons. Somewhere inside him, he didn't have any feeling to show it to them.
The hallway was silent for a moment until one of them gave her a harsh response.
"Cut the crap."
"Huh?" Misaki was astonished from one of their dull responses. Even Tendou, his eyes widened from this unexpectedly.
"Why the hell should we listen to you when all you do is order us around like our moms?"
Misaki stood there in astonishment from their angry comments.
"Whatever we say is futile. You don't even listen to us."
She was even more astonished than before.
"Besides, you hate men."
When Tendou heard the last line, his eyes widened in a bit of shock and confusion. He wasn't sure about the last part. Why would Misaki hate men? If she did hate them, then why she didn't act the way towards him?
"Come on. Let's get out of here." all the guys stood up and walked their way to the hallway.
Inside Class 2-2, Misaki heard one of the girls was having trouble about the misorder. She even heard another one who was about to leave, but was told to be a bit more patient. After Tendou warned her yesterday about their hostile, she didn't even listen to him. All she did was rejected him and decided to do it her way. She knew she should have listened to him. It was her fault for not accepting his warning.
This time, it was an emergency.
"Wait." she called in a monotone, but the guys didn't hear her - except Tendou. "Please wait." They turned to her with angry looks on their faces. "Please help out with the café." she pleaded.
The guys were a bit surprised to hear that from the Kaichou. Did she just ask them for help? This was one of the rarest things for her to ask them.
"I'm begging you." she bowed her head to them anxiously.
Tendou felt pity for Misaki. He too heard trouble inside that classroom. He wasn't going to let her do all the work to herself. He needed to bring out a friend that can fix the atmosphere. He secretly took out his Hunter-VG and noticed the time was almost lined up with three digits of eleven.
"It's too late for that." one of the males replied to the bowing Kaichou.
Tendou sighed and turned his back, walking to the other side of the hallway.
Misaki turned her back to see Tendou, walking away like them. "Tendou... you too?"
"Bathroom. I'll be back soon." he replied.
With that, Misaki gave the boys one last look before entering the classroom.
"Sorry, I'll help out." she said to the troubled girl and wore the apron. Once Misaki finished tying the apron, she was readied to help out the café to change the customers' mood one by one. "One ice tea for you, right? Sorry for the wait. What would you like to order? Sorry, please give us just a moment."
The three girls were amazed to see Misaki's sudden change. Somehow, she fixed the atmosphere. They had no idea how she did it.
"Misaki-san looks so fitting for some reason." one of the girls praised.
The guys watched the café classroom through the windows from the hallway to see the progress until one of them saw Tendou came back. He was a bit disturbed to see his new appearance. Tendou slid the door open and entered the classroom.
"A cheese tart and lemon tea? Got it." Misaki wrote down the order on a notepad.
"Can we order too?" a boy asked from his table.
"Hai, may I take your order, Master-" Using that certain line, she immediately stopped and couldn't believe she actually used that term. She was so screwed. Literally. She didn't know what to do next.
Unable to do anything until a person stood in front of her. It was Tendou with a blue streak hair and a pair of black rimmed glasses? However, his eyes weren't green, they were blue!
"Pardon me. Boku ni tsuraretemiru (Mind if I reel you in)?" he asked the young girl in a very gentle tone, holding a teapot in his right hand.
"Eehh?" Misaki was incredibly astonished to see Tendou using that kind of voice. He sounded so much gently and kind. Also, his hair looked different.
First, it was golden yellow yesterday. And now, it was blue?
The young girl felt her heart pounding in delight from this student. Not just her, the three Seika High girls in aprons were amazed to see Tendou with his new hairstyle. They had never seen him this kind when he entered the school.
"Would you like to have a cup of tea, young lady?" the blue-streak-haired Tendou asked again.
"H-Hai."
"Um... I would like one too." the boy said.
The blue-streak-haired Tendou turned to the confused Misaki, "My lady, would it be nice if we spend our wonderful day somewhere else instead of this place?" he asked her in a flirtatious way.
"Eeehhh?" Misaki was even more confused. Tendou was flirting with her? She didn't know what was with him, but assuming it might be part of his plan to help her.
"May I have my answer?" he asked kindly, but the body froze by force.
"Hey, this is no time for flirting! Get out of my body!" Tendou demanded in his thought.
The blue-streak-haired Tendou sighed in defeat. "I think we'll meet again someday." he winked at her before a blue spirit exited out of Tendou's body as his black rimmed glasses disappeared. He stumbled and shook his head from his special helper.
Misaki helped him before he fell. "Tendou, are you feeling okay?" she whispered, feeling concern.
"I'm fine, but let's not space out."
The door was heard open as the guys were highly amazed to see them working like real employees.
"Hey, that looks like fun! We want to be part of it too!" they pleaded to the three girls.
Tendou and Misaki looked at the guys in awe. A while ago, the guys almost ruined the school festival, but now the atmosphere had changed completely. They were treating the female customers with respect and becoming like them. From the hallway, they saw more female customers coming in after hearing the news about this classroom. It had to be those two in their employee styles. The entire male was making this café classroom a bit more pleasant and enjoyable for the incoming customers.
The two of them smiled from watching the scene.
"Looks like things are going well as plan, huh?" Tendou stated.
"Yeah, it sure is."
"Whoa! This costume is well-made!" one of the guys praised as Tendou and Misaki turned to the source.
From their sight, they saw three guys giving that person such compliments about his machine-like armored costume. That person wasn't in this room nor one of the male students in costume earlier. He had a crow-like head with wings and a green orb on both index wings on his back. Feather-like blades on his forearms. Talons of a crow in human-like legs. Unlike the other costumes, this one seemed so real and quite colorful.
"I came here to look for someone." he said to them.
"Are you looking for a girl?" one of the male students asked, nudging the latter.
"Are you looking for someone popular in this room?"
"Neither of them. I'm looking for someone who's called... Megaman." he corrected them.
Misaki widened her eyes in shock. This crow-like person knew Megaman? She hadn't mentioned Megaman in a while since Tendou was helping her out. But for some reason, this strange guy might know something about Megaman's whereabouts. This could be her chance to know where he is and thank him for saving her the other day from those anthropoid monsters.
"Aaahh! Sorry, we don't have someone here named Megaman. Besides, he's a legend now. My parents told me stories about him when I was young." one of them answered.
"A legend?" Misaki paused in confusion. She didn't know Megaman became a legend. He did save her two days ago. "How could that be possible? There's no way he would be a legend."
The crow-like person instantly grabbed the latter's neck and slammed him against the wall.
"Aaaacck!"
Everyone in the room startled and turned to the scene, including Misaki and Tendou.
"TELL ME WHERE HE IS! ! I KNOW YOU'RE ALL HIDING HIM! !" he raised his voice with more force.
"I... I swear... I don't know... "
Some of the guys were about to break them apart, but Tendou stopped them from doing so.
"EVERYONE, DON'T GO NEAR HIM! ! HE'S NOT HUMAN! !" he blurted out as the group of male students turned to him in confusion.
"What's new kid talking about?"
"He's not human?"
"Heeheehee! That kid has good eyes." The crow-like person turned to face him, "But he's right. I'm not human. I'm Wind Crowrang! A Repliforce!" he tossed the guy to the table with a loud crash as some plates shattered. Everyone was frightened from the real monster as a few helped out their fallen classmates. "I'll ask you again... where is Megaman! ?"
(Wind Crowrang was from Megaman X7 in PS2)
"And if I don't?" Tendou questioned in a serious tone.
Wind Crowrang flitted towards him at a high speed and grabbed his collar, pinning him against the wall with loud cracks.
"AAAHH! !"
"Tendou!" Misaki called out.
"Then I'll force it out these maggots' mouths!" Wind Crowrang slid the boy's body sideways and tossed him at the doors, breaking them apart.
Tendou was on the ground with some scratches on his face. Wind Crowrang turned his back and prepared to take his flight out the window. He leaped forward and broke through it, shattering the glass into shards. The entire student in the room screamed in fear. They knelt on the ground with hands above their heads to defend themselves from the shards of glass.
From the outside, most of the Seika High students and the welcoming guests saw a flying person with wings. The males were amazed to see one in person, thought this could be their perfect day. However, the females were unsure about it.
Wind Crowrang flew a bit higher and flapped his wings. "FEZAA MISARUZU (FEATHER MISSILES)! !" he launched his feathers at the ground, creating several explosions at different directions.
The students were terrified. They screamed and fled their way out at the entrance. However, some of his feathers hit the entrance and exploded, blocking their only way out with rubbles.
"Minna (Everyone), you okay?" Misaki asked them, kneeling in front of the fallen female students.
"M-Misaki... "
Misaki ran towards the broken window and couldn't believe her eyes. She widened them in complete disbelief and shock. The Seika High's school festival was destroyed - even the welcoming female guests were scared to death by a real monster. This was not the kind of school festival she had planned!
Clenching both her hands very hard, she was really mad... No, furious! More furious than the usual to the boys. But this was different.
However, something was more important. She was worried about Tendou. She immediately turned and headed to the broken doors to see if Tendou was okay after that mechanical crow monster threw him.
"Tendou, are you-" Before Misaki could finish, he was nowhere in sight. "Huh? Where'd he go?" she questioned, then heard a scream from outside. "Crap!" She quickly dashed her way to the first floor, then the main entrance to stop that monster from hurting any more students.
Wind Crowrang landed on the ground and slowly proceeded his way towards the horde of the frightening students. "I'll ask you worms one... last... time... Where! Is! Megaman! ?" he raised his voice, growling at them. The Seika High students were unable to answer due to the mechanical crow monster's intimidation. "Fine, then." Wind Crowrang had had enough of this tedious questioning. He took out a feather-hilt from his left waist with his right hand and pulled it out. The feather-hilt lit up a blade - which frightened the students even more.
The Moron Trio was extremely scared stiff at the mechanical crow monster, hugging each other while weeping for their lives.
"IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN! !" Shirokawa shrieked.
"MONSTERS KEEPS COMING ONE AFTER ANOTHER! !" Ryuunosuke yelled.
"WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS! ?" Sarashina questioned in fear.
"I-Is this really the end of the world, Shizuko! ?" Sakura asked her friend in fear, but her friend remained silent.
Yukimura trembled in fear from a real-life monster as tears of waterfall heavily came out from his eyes. He was about to wet himself, wishing this chaotic festival was just a nightmare.
"S-S-S-S-S-S-SOMEONE! ! A-A-A-A-ANYONE! ! HELP US! ! !" he screamed.
Wind Crowrang began to swing his feather-sword at them, but a hard clang hit the back of his head. Neither a single scratch nor pain hit him. He turned his back to see who hit him.
Yukimura slowly turned his head to see who the savior was. His face quickly changed to see his one and only savior. It was the Seika High's Kaichou, Misaki, wielding a long pipe as a weapon from the takoyaki stand.
"KAICHOU! !" Yukimura cheered happily, but wasn't the only one. The entire Seika High student cheered for her, knowing she was the only person in Seika who had more strength than them - even the welcoming students.
"Hey, birdbrain! Leave them alone, or I'll-!"
*SLASH! !* *SLASH! !* *SLASH! !*
She was interrupted by the latter's sudden action. The mechanical crow monster sliced the pipe into smaller pieces, dropping them to the ground. All that's left was a small-sized pipe in her hands.
"Or you'll what? Cry out for Megaman's help?" Wind Crowrang mocked her.
Behind the gym
Tendou made it to the back door and hoped that no one was around. Especially Misaki, he was relieved that she didn't see him dashing at a quick speed. He was ready to save Misaki and the rest of the students. He took out his Hunter-VG and placed it on the center of his waist, shooting out silver belt straps around him.
"Henshin!" Tendou called out as his body was consumed by a ball of light and leaped in the air.
"Aaahh!" Misaki cried, trying to free herself from the mechanical crow monster, who grabbed her neck with his right hand.
"You're starting to bug me, brat!" Wind Crowrang raised his feather blade in the air to strike her, "Hmm?" he paused, noticing something in the air.
A bright light appeared in the sky above Seika High, causing everyone to change their attention to it. They all looked at the sky, not knowing what was gonna happen next. Suddenly, a ball of light appeared and made its way to the ground with a loud thud. The light faded and revealed a figure on his right knee. He stood up and revealed himself to every student in the school ground.
It was Megaman!
His armors were dark blue. He had wings of Cygnus Noise form. His helmet had no spiky hair. His lens was red, and a silver mask below it. His streamlines were green.
"So~ the famous Megaman is here at last!" Wing Crowrang threw the girl to the ground and turned to him.
"Misaki!" Sakura and Shizuko quickly ran to their fallen friend in support.
Misaki coughed for some air and slowly raised her head to see who just arrived. Surprisingly, her eyes widened to see the same hero who saved her from the four black armored monsters the other night.
"M-Megaman... !"
So far, the other students could hardly believe what they were witnessing.
The actual Megaman is here.
Right in front of them.
IN PERSON!
They all thought he was just a legend some years ago, but turned out he was not just a legend after all.
All the fear had disappeared due to his sudden arrival.
"No way... "
"I-I-I-I-I-I-IT'S MEGAMAN! ! ! IT'S THE REAL MEGAMAN! !" one of them shouted energetically.
"YEEEAAAAHH! ! !"
"He's... He's really here... !" Yukimura's eyes sparkled with happiness to see the actual Megaman for the first time.
"Megaman, so bitter to see you again! Finally, I can have my revenge!" Wind Crowrang said.
"Revenge?" Misaki was confused by the mechanical crow monster's word. "What does he mean by revenge?" she questioned thoughtfully as she tried to stand up.
"Misaki, come on! Let's hide!" Sakura said to her friend. She and Shizuko pulled her away from the crossfire.
"You think making a destructive racket will call me out? I don't think so." Megaman (Tendou) said coldly. He took a quick leap towards his enemy and extracted a red blade from his right forearm. He clashed his armed-blade against Wind Crowrang's left feather blade, pushing him forwards. The mechanical crow monster slashed Megaman (Tendou)'s torso with his right feather blade, sparks bursting out. "Gaaahhh!"
Wind Crowrang was about to give him another slash with his left feather blade, but Megaman (Tendou) leaped backward.
The dark blue armored Megaman retrieved his right armed-blade and mechanically transformed his right arm into HeavyCannon. Taking aim at the enemy, Wind Crowrang hovered and immediately flew to the right side, forcing Megaman (Tendou) to change his aiming. With an evil smirk on his face, the mechanical crow monster changed direction again, forcing the dark blue armored Megaman to change his aiming again; he repeated himself again in the process. However, for Megaman (Tendou), he was getting very annoyed until he realized what the enemy's intention was. He stopped his right armed-cannon, knowing what the enemy was trying to make him do deliberately.
If he fired his cannon and missed, it might hurt the students - even Misaki. If that the case, then he would just have to fight physically. But first things first...
"Batoru Kaado (Battle Card)! Inbijiburu (Invisible)!" Megaman (Tendou) called out as his body vanished.
"Huh! ?" Wind Crowrang was stunned to see the dark blue-armored Megaman disappeared as he landed on the ground, shifting his head sideways cautiously. "Where'd he go? Did Megaman chicken out?" he assumed.
All the students were either confused or a bit disappointed to see their savior disappeared.
Misaki doubted it. She had a feeling Megaman might have something up his sleeves.
Wind Crowrang continued to stay alert in his fighting stance while looking sideways.
He tried until...
*SLASH! !*
"GAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! ! !" Wind Crowrang cried in agony, dropping to his right knee. His left arm was cut off and flew in the air.
Megaman (Tendou) reappeared in the air with a red blade on his right forearm and slashed the cut arm swiftly. He landed on the ground as the sliced arm exploded.
"Aaaaahh! Wh-What the hell are you! ? You're not the same Megaman!" Wind Crowrang stood up, groaning from the pain. He faltered, trying to get back his balance.
"Not the same Megaman?" Misaki was confused by the mechanical crow monster's last sentence.
Megaman (Tendou) turned to the enemy and prepared for the finishing blow. "Batoru Kaado (Battle Card)! Okkusu Takkuru (Ox Tackle)!" he called out, "Rrrraaaahhh!" Clenching both his fists tightly, a flaming aura consumed his body. He took his stance and charged at the faltering enemy, with an illusion of TaurusFire. He fiercely rammed into Wind Crowrang with sparks bursting, making some cracks in his armor.
"AAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH! !" Wind Crowrang was sent flying and landed on the ground with a hard thud. Slowly, he weakly tried to stand up with electricity around his body.
Both the flaming aura and the illusion of TaurusFire vanished on the dark blue armored Megaman.
"What... what the hell... What kind of a Megaman are you... ?" Wind Crowrang questioned in pain. Sparks began to burst from his cracked armor as he slowly fell backward. On cue, his whole body exploded in defeat.
*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !*
Megaman (Tendou) stayed silent and stood there triumphantly. "Hmph, that was too easy." he thought.
"Get the fire extinguisher!" one of the Seika High male students called out.
The dark blue armored fighter grew a small victorious smile on his face behind the mask.
Misaki smiled and was about to give him an applause until...
"YOU BASTARD! !"
Megaman (Tendou) dropped his smile and turned to the person who yelled at him. It was one of those losers in the café, who looked very furious.
"WHAT KIND OF A SHOW-OFF FIGHTING STYLE WAS THAT! ? JUST LOOK AROUND YOU, DUMBASS! !"
Around the dark blue armored Megaman, the Seika Festival was a huge wreck, except some were in one piece. Everything they had worked on became a total waste.
"YOU CALL YOURSELF "MEGAMAN"! ? YOU DIDN'T PROTECT A DAMN THING! ! THANKS TO YOU, OUR PRECIOUS ESTIVAL IS COMEPLETELY RUINED! !" he raised his voice, blaming all the damage on him.
Just then, another one joined.
"Yeah, man! What gives! ?"
More of them gave their savior negative applause.
Misaki despised their attitudes after what Megaman just did to everyone in Seika High. She immediately charged towards them and gave them a piece of her mind.
"Hey, what's your problem! ? Megaman just saved our lives if he hadn't shown up! Is this how you owe him a debt! ?"
"Owe him a debt? He ruined our festival!" one of them pointed angrily.
"Which is more important! ? Your lives or the festival! ?" she corrected them.
*munch*
"Huh?" Everyone turned to their dark blue armored hero and saw him eating takoyaki in his left hand.
Wait a minute, Megaman was eating with his silver mask on? Just how is that possible... ?
"Hey, at least, this takoyaki tastes good." Megaman (Tendou) said to them.
The entire student gaped in disbelief, even Misaki.
In the male students' minds: "He didn't even care about the festival at all! ?"
In Misaki's: "Show some emotion, will ya... ?"
Megaman (Tendou) looked around and saw everyone had lost their fun activity. Now, he felt bored after defeating his enemy; at least, he had fun fighting again. It had been so long he had been into a fight since Skull's ambition during his teenage parents' time period. This could be the right time to change the atmosphere, instead of leaving and letting them do all the work, and pretend nothing happened.
"Hey, who wants to have fun with your hero, Megaman! ?" he asked loudly. He would regret doing this.
In response, he was attracted to all the female population in Seika High and the customers, screaming in excitement.
"AAAAAHHH! ! MEGAMAN! !"
"TELL ME YOUR SECRET! !"
"Aaack!" He was surrounded by a horde of fangirls, clinging to him as if they were fighting over him. "This is not what I had in mind." he sweatdropped.
So far, everyone had been taking pictures with their savior on their cameras and cellphones nonstop. They all wanted to know who he was, where did he come from, and where did he get all those power. All Megaman (Tendou) told them was that they were classified, but just answered them he is a StarForce.
Sakura was incredibly hyped and fell for him at first sight, and wanted to ask him for a date. However, Shizuko gave her friend a harsh scolding about seeking love at first sight without knowing who they actually were.
Later that evening
The Seika High students set up a bonfire at the schoolyard to celebrate their first festival. With Megaman (Tendou)'s help, he used one of his fire Battle Cards and set it ablaze, earning an "Ooohh" and "Aaah" from his fans.
"Guess I'll be going." he said to them calmly.
"EEEEHHHH! !"
"But Megaman, we're not done yet!"
"Come on, Megaman, show us more of your power thingy!" they all pouted.
Megaman (Tendou) sighed with his head shook, and turned to Misaki, noticing she was smiling at him the whole time. "Orders are orders. I'm outta here." he turned and leaped his way out.
Misaki ran in front of the students and waved her right hand at him, "Arigato (Thank you), Megaman! Come back next time!"
All the students bid farewell as well.
Misaki continued waving until something hit her. "Wait, I feel like I'm missing something." she said to herself and tried to remember what was missing.
Three...
Two...
One...
Suddenly, it hit her.
"AAAAHHHHH! !"
Everyone was startled by her sudden outburst.
"M-Misaki... what's wrong?" one of the female students asked.
"Tendou! Where's Tendou! ? I've completely forgotten about him!" she just remembered he was thrown off by that mechanical crow monster this afternoon.
"EEEEHHH! ! NEW KID GOT KILLED! ?" all the boys questioned in shock.
"Quick, help me search for him!" Misaki ordered the students as they all went different ways.
She searched the school, but there was no sign of him anywhere. She was hoping for him to be okay and decided to look around the trees near the schoolyard. Feeling tired, she panted and palmed her left hand on the tree to keep herself still.
"Tendou, where are you?" she questioned sadly and shut her eyes. Her left palm balled into a fist and squeezed it tight. If only Megaman had arrived sooner, it would have been better.
"What took you so long?" a voice asked.
Hearing that familiar voice broke her thought, Misaki turned to the trees where she was standing. Footsteps were heard and it was coming closer as the person revealed himself in front of her was Tendou.
"If you were wondering where I was the entire time, Megaman saved me and brought me here, and I was unconscious." he lied, "As you can see, I'm alive and well." Before he could continue, Misaki instantly wrapped her arms around him. Tendou was surprised by her sudden hug.
"Baka! I thought you were a goner! I thought that monster killed you! I was so worried about you!"
Tendou wasn't used to this kind of situation. He returned the hug to soothe her anxiousness.
"It's okay, Misaki. At least, I'm alive."
A smile grew on her face and broke the hug. "Tendou, I'm glad you're alive." She held his right wrist and dragged him to the bonfire, "Come on, you're missing all the fun!"
"Damn, that was a fast recovery." he thought in surprise as he grew a small smile on his face, "Well, at least, there's someone I can enjoy hanging out with."
After the bonfire, the Moron Trio was on their way home.
"Can you believe it, guys? Megaman really came!" Sarashina asked in excitement.
"I know! Our hero, Megaman, came out of nowhere like Batman or Flash! Do you think Megaman is a secret member of the Justice League?" Ryuunosuke questioned.
"Impossible! Megaman said it himself he's a StarForce. Period!" Shirokawa pointed.
"Say, do you think we can see that person again? I mean he's also a StarForce." Sarashina asked, who suddenly got the chill.
"Well, let's hope so." Ryuunosuke replied.
"Yeah, that night was terrible." Shirokawa finished.
*Flashback*
Five nights ago
The Moron Trio left the restaurant and was on their way home.
"Aaahh! Man, the food was awesome!" Shirokawa exclaimed.
"Got any plans tomorrow so we can make the girls do our work?" Sarashina asked.
"Let's go to the dirty store and rent some movies!" Ryuunosuke declared.
They pumped their fists in the air simultaneously in agreement. However, there was a fourth one.
"Hey guys, there are three of us, right?" Sarashina asked in confusion.
"Yeah, why's there a fourth?" Ryuunosuke questioned second.
As the three of them turned the owner of the fourth's fist, it was an anthropoid monster-like creature with black armor.
"GGRRAAAAAAAHHHHH! ! !" A Noise Jammer roared at its targets.
"AAAAAAAAHHH! ! ! A MONSTER! ! !" The Moron Trio screamed in fright and ran to the alley, but it was a dead end.
"WHY IS IT A DEAD END! ?" Sarashina questioned loudly.
"WHO WAS THE IDIOT THAT BROUGHT US HERE! ?" Shirokawa asked his friends, blaming on one of them.
"IT WAS YOU! !"
"NO, IT WAS HIM! !"
"NO WAY, HE DID! !"
As they continued arguing, a loud stomp was heard and caused them to stop fighting. The anthropoid monster-like creature walked closer to them and opened its hands, revealing its sharp claws.
"GGGRRRRAAAAAHHHHH! !"
"AAAAHHH! ! WE'RE GONNA DIE! !"
Before the Noise Jammer approached them, two pink-flaming sabers pierced through its chest from behind as the savior sent the monster flying in the air. Soon, it exploded in defeat.
*KA-BOOM! !*
The Moron Trio couldn't believe what they just witness. In front of them was a warrior that resembled a Gundam, wielding two pink-flaming sabers in his hands. They trembled and didn't know if their savior was an ally or foe.
"H-Hey, w-who are you?" Sarashina asked calmly.
"Just a StarForce member who protects a citizen from danger. Try anything stupid, and I'll have your heads." The Gundam-like warrior sounded threatening. He turned his back and leaped in the air. His thrusters activated and vanished into thin air.
"You know what guys?" Shirokawa spoke.
"What?"
"Let's obey the Kaichou from now on."
And so, they agreed unanimously and became friendlier to Misaki.
