If there are any mistakes, I apologize, and please don't flame. If there are, please do PM me and I'll fix my errors. Thank you and enjoy!

Note: English is my second language!

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.

I don't own Megaman nor Maid-Sama except the transformation, new characters, and new Battle Cards.

Chapter 16: Tendou Becomes a Footman

Crimes had been active for quite sometimes lately. Megaman (Tendou) continued to put an end to their foolishness and sent them straight to prison. Day after day, the crime-fighting hero was on the front page of the newspaper - every single one of them. Misaki was incredibly amazed to see this as the Seika High began to worship their hero in joy.

And now, summer vacation was finally over.

Tendou walked out of Seika High with a backpack in his right hand, hanging it behind the right shoulder.

"Master Tendou, are you really going to tell Misaki that you're Megaman?" Draco asked from his Hunter-VG, sounded concerned.

"I wanted to tell her, Draco, but I don't know where to start. Somewhere inside me is telling me not to." Tendou lowered his head with a sad look, "I'm afraid what she'll think of me after all this time. I've been lying to her the entire time... I still want to support her... Being a StarForce has to be top secret from everyone, including Misaki."

"Tendou, wait up!" Misaki's voice was heard from behind, who was running towards him.

Tendou stopped at the front gate and turned his back, seeing her panting in front of him.

"Misaki? What do you need?" he asked.

"I... I want to pay you back." she spoke between panting.

"Pay me back? What do you mean?" he blinked in confusion.

Misaki finally caught her breath and began to explain in order. "First of all, you did treat my back that night, and you took the hit for me back at the library, and back at the sports festival, and then you saved me from being violated twice, and even I had trouble with Kanou, too. I don't like being so indebted to you." she finished and stood up.

"Who said anything about indebted?"

(Note: Tendou mistook indebted for money, instead of gratitude.)

"I want to repay you for everything you've done for me. Can you think of something?" Misaki questioned as they walked their way Maid Latte. "You've been doing so many good things after all."

Tendou looked up and tried to think of one, but nothing came to his mind. "Hmm... I haven't thought of that before." he replied.

"Really, nothing?" the black-haired girl eyed at him in surprise. "You seriously can't think of one?"

"Cut me some slack, will ya? Can I have a rain check until I think of one?" he asked.

"Sure. I can wait." Misaki nodded.

Misaki wasn't only indebted to Tendou, but Megaman, too. He saved her from the four Noise Jammers that night, and the two stalkers who were after her, and then those mechanical monsters numerous times, and even opened Kanou's eyes about girls. With a small smile formed on her face, she had to find a way to repay Megaman.

However, there was one problem...

She didn't know who to choose nor how to express her feelings between Tendou and Megaman.

As they were close to Maid Latte, she noticed Tendou was quiet with a worried look on his face.

"You okay, Tendou?" she asked.

"Hmm? Uh, yeah, I'm fine. How should I tell her?"

Maid Latte

It was shrine maiden day.

Finishing the last set of plates, Tendou and Draco patiently waited for the next one. After a few more minutes, no one came into the kitchen. They wondered what was keeping them.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside and he recognized those voices.

They belonged to the Moron Trio - Ryuunosuke, Sarashina, and Shirokawa.

"What's with these guys? Why are they so hype?" Tendou questioned and walked out. Then, his eyes immediately scowled to see a certain blonde teenager at the entrance.

It was Tora Igarashi with a confident smile and a small bruise on his head. Behind him were his troops in black uniforms, and next to him was Maki, who was leaning forward in a bow.

Tora turned his sight and widened his eyes at the spiky-brown haired he didn't expect to see in this café. The memory of the fight gave him a bad mood.

"Oh my, you work here, too?" he questioned in a normal tone, trying to stay calm.

"WHAT'S THIS BASTARD DOING HERE! ?" Tendou barked and charged forward, but Draco immediately stopped him by planting his right palm firmly on the boy's chest.

"Master Tendou, not here." the Imagin dragon whispered, preventing him from making a scene.

Satsuki, Subaru, and the Moron Trio didn't expect Tendou to raise his voice at them. Misaki knew why, but didn't want to inform them about her acquaintance with Tora as she eyed at them with a frown.

Tendou grunted and yielded, shaking his fists in anger. He couldn't stand that guy for trying to rape Misaki that day.

Tora and Maki jumped at the man-dragon's appearance as his black uniformed troops were frightened.

"K-Kaichou, that's the scary dragon monster that attacked us back then!" one of them pointed.

"We told you he was real!"

"I am cosplaying." Draco corrected them with a lie in a normal tone, preventing himself from roaring at them; he despised them, too.

"What! ?"

"You were cosplaying the whole time! ?"

"But it looks so real!"

Tora cleared his throat as his troops returned themselves to stand still in a line. "As I was saying, Maki Kanade is a vice president, and he is my excellent assistant. You might say that he knows the joy of working for a master. I believe that he can make a great shop, so I'm supporting him as the Kaichou and as his friend. I know what you're all thinking. If you're worried about his capability as a butler, how about you come to the footman audition held next weekend." the blonde suggested.

"Footman?" Misaki questioned.

"They're staffs who work under the butler. In order to hire skilled footmen, we will be holding a large scale interview." Maki explained with a flier in his hands.

"Why is it already scheduled! ?" Ryuunosuke questioned irritatedly.

"It's still too early to recruit staff!" Sarashina followed.

"Nobody said they're selling this place!" Shirokawa pointed.

Tendou turned to the Moron Trio with a confused look on his face, "Selling? What are they talking about?"

Tora shined his eyes and gave them a scary smile. The Moron Trio quickly backed away and trembled in fright.

"We should excuse ourselves now." Tora said, "Maki, we'll need to give them time to relax and think.

"Certainly." the short black-haired replied to his blonde friend, "We will leave for today. Here's the summary of the conditions and benefits related to this sale." he placed an envelope on the table. "Please look over this and consider our proposal. If you cannot agree to the listed price for terms such as mediating the reemployment of your staff and funding to relocate, we are willing to negotiate on these points." he informed before heading to the entrance.

Misaki headed to the exit and saw them about to leave in their white car. "Please wait!"

"What's the matter?" Maki asked. "You shouldn't be out in that, should you?"

"Why is it here? Is it because I'm here?" Misaki asked back as Tora grew a smirk.

"What are you-"

"Maki, you go on." Tora interrupted.

"Huh? But this is-"

"Maki. That's an order."

"Yes." Maki bowed slightly and entered the vehicle as Tora walked towards Misaki.

"As always, you're great at acting." Misaki praised bitterly.

"You, too." Tora stopped in front of her and lifted her chin up with his right index finger, "Dressed up in that interesting clothes, aren't you?" he returned the compliment and ogled her with a grin. Suddenly, a quick punch met on Tora's face. "Aaahhh!" he stumbled backward, holding his face with a hiss.

It was Tendou, who punched him with an angry look on his face.

"Tendou?" Misaki gasped in surprise.

"Ever heard of "keep your hands to yourself"?" Tendou questioned venomously.

"And ever heard of "it's rude to butt into someone's conversation"?" Tora countered, wiping the blood off his mouth, "I still haven't forgotten about our last fight. You gave this bloody scar on my head." he pointed at the side of his head as proof, "It really hurts."

"Liar. That was drawn by a marker." Tendou pointed, "I'm not that stupid, you dumbass."

A tick mark appeared on Tora's head, he couldn't believe that backfired. "Okay, fine! You figured that one out! However, your punch and kick were definitely abnormal!" the blonde teenager pointed directly at him, "You must be on steroid back then! First off, why are you working in a maid café? And second, what is up with your dragon cosplaying freak? You have such a weird friend right there."

"One, that's not your business. And two, that's not your business." the spiky brown-haired answered bitterly.

"You don't have to repeat that." Misaki pointed inwardly.

"Are you here to get back at Misaki because she rejected your offer?" Tendou asked, continued his bitter tone.

Tora let out a short laugh and placed both hands in his pockets. "Indeed, I am! Just so you know, I'm only watching from the sideline, since it's the first shop Maki's organizing. He seriously wants it to be successful." he answered truthfully.

"Hey, we're serious, too!" Misaki interjected, "This place has been built on the work we and San-cho did together. We have customers coming back because they like it here. How could you take this place away from them, too... " she lowered her head in pity.

"You really seem to enjoy your job as a maid." Tora said.

"Huh?" the black-haired girl eyed at him.

"Let me ask you a question. Once you graduate, do you plan on becoming a professional maid? Then, why don't you seriously spar with Maki? Unless you surpass his determination, you won't get anywhere. How about next week's audition? It's the perfect chance to show how serious you are with greeting customers." Tora turned his back and paused, "Oh, and one more thing. It's limited to guys only." he finished with a smirk and entered the white car.

As the vehicle drove off, Misaki was full of rage.

"That's right... I have to pay back for the humiliation he put me through in his perverted play! I can't forgive him for that! I will do anything to get back at him!" she vowed, shaking her fists.

"I agree with you on that." Tendou pounded his right fist on his left hand, then realized something was missing. "Wait a minute, why were they here again?" he asked.

"They wanted to tear down Maid Latte and make it a butler café in a western style mansion." Misaki answered.

"A butler café! ? Now that's gone too far!" Tendou retorted and couldn't take any more of Tora's ridiculous revenge on Misaki. "Misaki, I'll see you at Mayabooger!" he turned his back to the café.

"You bet!"

Tendou opened the door and called his partner, "Draco, we'll leaving!"

"Have a good night, ladies." Draco bowed politely to them and headed to the door.

Flying in the air, Megaman (Tendou) couldn't believe that blonde rich maggot wanted to demolish Maid Latte.

Seriously? All this because of a transfer offer rejection?

His anger was building up. He wanted to beat up Tora so much - more than the previous fight.

His Megaman identity confession to Misaki would have to wait. He landed in front of WAZA HQ and cancelled his transformation before heading to the building.

Ace was reading a comic book with a Mega Snack in his hand and noticed Tendou approaching with a dark look on his face.

"Hey, Tendou, are you okay there?" he asked the teenager.

"Ace, I need your assistant, and I need some backup."

That weekend

Misaki and the Maid Latte staffs made it to Miyabigaoka High, along with the Moron Trio. Misaki and Subaru were the only two to disguise themselves as men. They wore business suits and short hair wigs with the same hair color. Erika wanted to take part in it, but didn't due to her busty size - which discouraged Subaru for having flat chested as if the curly auburn-haired was jealous.

Outside of Miyabigaoka High was filled with a large group of men, waiting for the announcer.

"Sorry for the wait. Thank you for coming to this event. We would like to start the audition now."

Misaki shot her head at the building, "That voice. It's the vice president of Miyabigaoka, Maki Kanade!"

"The first thing we will have you do today is, a race." Maki notified and began to explain. "The hill you came up while coming here is the course. If you get to the bottom, you'll find the turnaround point. When you come back, please follow the usher to the gym, where we are."

Misaki was startled at Subaru, seeing a discouraged aura around her.

"I already don't have much confidence."

"I'll push your back." she replied, trying to encourage her friend.

"However, since this is an audition done by pairs, the passing condition is for you to finish with your partner on your back." Maki added.

"Ehh?" she gaped in disbelief.

"Please have your partner on your back at all times. You may switch as many times as you like. The first 50 to come back will move on. Please assemble at the starting line."

"Let's go, Subaru." Misaki stepped forward.

The green-haired gaped, "Ehh? Are we seriously doing this?" she asked nervously.

The black-haired girl turned to face her friend, "Things like these are easy for me. I'll protect you, Subaru." she assured the latter.

"Wait, Misa-chan." Satsuki interjected with a worried look on her face, "It's fine. I get it. It's impossible. We can't fight against someone that holds such a grand audition. Besides, if they find out that you're girls-"

Misaki cut her off by clapping her hands close to her manager's face. "It's not like you to give up before trying, San-cho."

"But I'm-"

"Could you just let me be selfish and do it?" Misaki asked with a smile as Satsuki stared her in awe.

"I'll make sure Misa-chan doesn't get hurt." Subaru noted with her eyes closed.

"See you later." Misaki and Subaru headed to the front gate.

"The fire doesn't go out once it's been lit, does it?" Honoka asked.

"I like passionate people like her." Erika praised brightly, "They make me feel they'll accomplish something. Right, Satsuki?"

"Yeah." the dark purple-haired woman replied softly with watery eyes.

A large number of men carried their respective partner in a piggyback and prepared for the race. Misaki looked around and didn't find Tendou anywhere within the crowd. The front gate was opened and the signal was heard. Every runner dashed their way down the hill at a quick pace. Misaki made hers at a steady pace.

Satsuki, Erika, and Honoka cheered for their friends while Sarashina waved a flag energetically for Misaki to encourage her.

Some men gave up in exhaustion at the turnaround point.

Misaki made it and turned around, returning back to the hill at the starting point.

"Are you okay, Misa-chan?" Subaru asked worriedly.

"I'm fine! It's hard to move around in a suit. I think we can pass this stage easily."

"That's the spirit!" Shirokawa's voice was heard, who suddenly caught up with Misaki and Subaru. He was carrying Ryuunosuke on his back. "Let's work through this together, Misa-chan! You should be invincible with us to support you!"

Misaki and Subaru sweatdropped, didn't know how to respond back.

"Stamina's the only thing Shiroyan has-" Unable to finish his sentence, Ryuunosuke hit his head on the branch with his eyes closed as the two fell down the hill.

"What were they doing?" Misaki questioned blankly.

Suddenly, a figure quickly passed beside her at a tremendous speed of light, startling Misaki and Subaru.

Most of the men shrieked and didn't know where that came from. They fell backward and rolled their way down the hill. Sadly, they had to run their way up all over again.

"Misa-chan, what was that?" the green-haired woman asked.

"I think I know who has that healthy speed." the black-haired girl replied nervously, recognizing who it belongs to.

"Yo, Misaki!" a voice greeted next to her.

Misaki turned and widened her eyes in surprise to see a certain long dark blue-haired man.

It was Ace from WAZA HQ!

She recognized the second man he was carrying on his back.

"Ace? And... Mr. Repairman?"

"The name's Jack."

"Misa-chan? You know them?" Subaru asked.

"Well, something like that." the black-haired girl answered nervously.

"Tendou told me about your café problem with these rich people. We're here to help you." Ace told her. "I'll see you in a bit!" he sped up and went ahead.

Misaki let out a small sigh with a smile, feeling glad to have Tendou backing her up.

Suddenly, a loud stomp was heard from behind. The girls turned their heads slightly to the left and gaped at the sight. There was a very large man with huge arms, walking up the hill with heavy footsteps. His partner was sitting on his back, who was an average height.

"There are lots of different people taking part in this, aren't there?" Misaki asked her friend, didn't expect to see a man this big.

"Yeah."

Misaki and Subaru finally made it in thirty-eighth place, panting in relief.

"Misaki!"

The two turned to see Tendou and Draco walking towards them. The teenage boy wore a dark blue suit, and Draco wore... a red suit?

"Draco's wearing a suit and cosplaying at the same time?" they questioned in disbelief, deadpanned.

"It's no problem." Draco replied.

"Looks like you two actually made it on time." Tendou said.

"Yeah, we didn't know there were fast people." Subaru replied.

An arm suddenly linked around Tendou, "So Tendou, are we here to save your girl's café from those rich kids?" Ace asked cheerfully, then felt his left ear being pulled away by his wife. "Owowowow!"

"Ace, not in public." Tia nearly scolded him, pinching his ear. She was carrying a knapsack bag on her back.

"Miss Tia, you're here, too?" Misaki widened her eyes.

"When I heard your café is going to be torn down by those rich people, I wanted to see how you and Tendou work out together." the dark blue haired woman explained, still pinching her husband's ear.

"Tia, let go of my ear!"

"I don't know why am I involved in this." Jack scoffed with his arms crossed as the woman turned to her brother.

"Jack, Misaki's café is in jeopardy because those people are going to tear it down and make a restaurant of their own. Besides, I like their café."

"Hold on, Nee-san! So what you're saying is that those rich people are going to demolish a maid café and turning it into a new café! ?"

"A butler's café! I told you about that last night!" Tendou shouted.

"Sorry, Tendou, I was half-asleep, and didn't hear most of the detail." Jack apologetically rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh, Tendou, you're here, too?" Satsuki called, walking towards them.

Erika and Honoka astonishingly dropped their mouths in total disbelief at the sight of Draco - who was in his cosplaying costume and a suit together.

"Why, hello, girls." Tia greeted them.

Erika and Honoka came back to their sense and remembered the long dark blue-haired woman with Tendou one time.

"You were one of our customers at that time!" the blonde noticed.

"Why, yes, I am."

"You four did great!" Satsuki praised them.

"Thanks, I guess." Tendou replied.

"It's nothing much." Misaki followed.

"As expected of Misaki!" Erika sallied in front of Subaru and groped her chest in encouragement, "Good luck to you, too, Subaru!"

"Don't sexually harass me in broad daylight!"

"Touching a guy's chest isn't sexual harassment." Erika retorted in defense.

"Even if it isn't, please stop!"

Tendou widened his eyes and faced away with a red mark on his face. "I'll pretend I didn't see that."

"Ditto." Jack added, who also turned away.

Ace widened his eyes in amazement to see a woman groping another woman's chest. Suddenly, he felt a glare from behind and dropped his smile.

"Sorry, Tia, I-I didn't see a thing."

"Gosh, Kanou. Let me do some of the work next time, too."

"You can't."

Misaki recognized those two voices and saw Yukimura and Kanou walking by. Gaping in shock, she quickly turned away and used her right hand to block her face.

"Why are they here! ?" she questioned in disbelief.

"What's wrong, Misaki?" Erika asked.

Facing the curly auburn-haired, Misaki paused and figured out how to avoid being seen by them. "Erika, could you lend me those fake glasses of yours?" she requested.

"Misaki, what's the problem?" Tendou asked as the black-haired girl brought him close.

"Tendou, Yukimura and Kanou are here!" she notified in a whisper.

"What! ? They're here! ? Oh crap... If they find out Misaki is here, then her part-time job secret will be exposed!" Tendou sweatdropped and tried to find a way to hide from them; he quickly turned to Tia, "Miss Tia, do you have a hair gel and a comb in the bag?" he asked.

"I think I do." Tia placed her knapsack bag on the ground and searched for it. "Why do you need them?"

Inside Miyabigaoka High

The Maid Latte girls turned red in amazement at Tendou's new look. His hair was combed down, almost covering his face.

"Draco, not a word about this to my family." he told the Imagin dragon with an unimpressed look.

"Understood." Draco nodded.

Misaki stared at Tendou's new look in awe with a blush. She didn't expect he would be more handsome than before.

Ace whistled at the teenager. "Looking good, Tendou! Trying to impress her, aren't you?" he snickered, playfully nudging the boy twice.

"That's not it, Ace!"

"I'm pretty sure it's for the girl." Jack commented.

Tia managed to snap a picture of Tendou's new hairstyle. She eyed at her Hunter-VG with a sly smile and pressed the send button.

"Sonia and Geo will be surprised to see this."

"Those who passed the first stage, please enter the gym." Maki announced, "We will proceed to the next stage."

The three pairs entered the gymnasium and noticed how wide and large it was. Satsuki, Erika, Honoka, and Tia watched them from the audience seats.

"Holy cow! This gym should be good for WAZA training room!" Ace exclaimed.

"This should be great for simulation battlefield!" Jack added.

"You two, don't admire it!" Tendou shouted.

Most of the men stared at Draco with an uncomfortable look, seeing his appearance in a red suit..

In their minds: "Why is there a dragon cosplayer here?"

Misaki saw Yukimura and Kanou close-by and quickly faced away until they passed by. Subaru noticed her sudden reaction with a confused look.

"Are they really interested in a job like this?" Misaki questioned nervously to herself, "If they find out who I am now, it'll get ugly."

"Hey there, Mis-" Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa happily called her, but was cut off by Misaki and Tendou, who were stomping them in anger.

"Shut up, you two!"

"Don't you morons ever use your indoor voice! ?"

"Misa-chan stepped on us." Shirokawa trembled happily in pain.

"Who was that guy?" Ryuunosuke asked.

The gym became dark, and two spotlights were pointed at Maki as he began his next announcement.

"Once again, welcome to all. Good work with the first assignment. Many of you were probably surprised by the unique task you were given. We wanted to see how serious you are. I'll be frank with you. Working as a footman is very rigorous. And because it's rigorous, you need the ability to help our colleague. That's why this is a pair audition. We will use it to see how well you can cooperate and complete your tasks. The judges will be butlers, including myself and the Student Council Kaichou of Miyabigaoka Academy that lent us the campus, Tora Igarashi."

Tora stood up from his seat and bowed down respectfully to the audience.

Misaki gave dagger eyes at the blonde teenager. "There you are, you perverted tyrant. Just you wait. I'll make it all the way to the end."

Tendou eyed at him with a hateful stare. "That blonde bastard. There's no way I'll let you take down Maid Latte."

"Hey, Tendou, is that the guy you told us about?" Ace asked.

"The same guy who almost raped Misaki in this school?" Jack added.

"That's him."

"We will now move on to the next assignment." Maki announced.

The second assignment was carrying dishes.

Misaki carried most of the dishes in her hands, but Subaru took some of them.

The third was pot cleaning.

Subaru kept the pot steady on the floor as Misaki cleaned it with her hardworking energy. However, Jack had a difficult time keeping it steady as Ace used his knees to support him.

The large man couldn't clean the pot with his massive hands. His averaged height partner had to clean it himself.

The fourth was water jug carrying.

Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa had a difficult time carrying the heavy jug that was filled with water and almost dropped it.

The large man simply carried it with one hand.

The fifth was glass polishing.

The large man breathed out cold air from his mouth at the glass as his averaged height partner wiped until it was clean as a whistle.

Tendou and Draco simply cleared all assignments by using Clock Up without breaking a sweat. He had already placed his Hunter-VG at the center of his waist underneath the suit before the race.

Facepalming with a sigh, Tia couldn't believe Tendou had been cheating this whole time.

Finally, the first phase was finished.

Most of the men were exhausted from using too much energy.

"I'm not done yet." Misaki claimed through panting.

"Great work. That concludes the first phase of the audition, which test your stamina. Before we move on to the second phase, we would like you to get changed. We will provide you with a tailcoat now, and you only have one minute." Maki announced.

"One minute! Is he crazy! ?" Misaki and Subaru gasped in disbelief.

"Are you out of your mind! ?" Ace and Jack shouted.

"You must be quick at anything. Is everyone ready?"

"We're changing here?" the black-haired questioned, seeing their changing room was none other than the gym.

"Please note that the changing room will be removed after the minute is up." Maki warned.

Misaki and Subaru's face turned blue in horror.

"Ready... start!"

"Oh crap... L-L-L-Let's hurry, Subaru!"

"Okay, Misaki!"

They quickly entered one of the curtains and began to change as quick as possible.

Tendou already finished changing in a split second, and kept his combed hair; Draco didn't bother changing his red suit, but decided to stay as he was.

Satsuki gasped in horror and worried heavily about them. Honoka calmly drank a cup of soda in her hand - no one clearly questioned how she got her hands on it.

"Isn't this pretty dangerous?" Erika questioned nervously.

"I'm afraid so. The host isn't being very fair to everyone." Tia answered.

"Misaki's always fast, so she's probably fine, but Subaru's... " Honoka stated.

The time immediately skipped from seventeen seconds to finish.

"That's one minute!" Maki announced.

On cue, the curtain dropped to the floor as Subaru quickly knelt down with a shriek.

"I knew she'd be out." the blonde finished.

"Hey! That wasn't actually a minute!" Jack complained, who hadn't finished fixing his pants, as he tripped and fell down. He quickly prevented himself from letting anyone seeing his underwear that had pictures of baby crows.

"What's with this guy?" Ace questioned, who hadn't finished buttoning his shirt.

The two started to understand why Tendou disliked these people.

Several men heard a girl's voice close-by as they scanned around.

Misaki quickly put on the black blazer on the green-haired woman before she was exposed.

"I'm sorry, Misaki-chan."

"HEY! I FOUND A GIRL!"

Misaki and Subaru shivered with a gulp.

"SHE'S RIGHT THERE! ! NEXT TO THAT COSPLAYING DRAGON! !" one of them pointed.

"Huh?" the two girls deadpanned in confusion and turned to the source.

"I'M A GUY, YOU MORON! !" the comb-haired Tendou shouted angrily at the pointer.

"T-Tendou?" Misaki widened her eyes in surprise.

"Oh yeah, Tendou has his mother's face." Subaru realized.

"That's right, I forgot about that." Misaki deadpanned with a nervous laugh.

"YOU TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT! ? I GOT THIS FACE FROM MY MOTHER! !"

"We do not allow cosplaying. A butler and a cosplayer do not mixed. You are disqualified." Maki announced.

"Seriously? Is he that slow to realize?" Tendou, Ace, and Jack questioned inwardly in disbelief.

"I'll ask you two as well. Are you a female?" Maki asked.

Misaki and Subaru were surrounded by a group of men.

"Yes." the green-haired woman answered sadly in defeat as the two stood up. "I'm sorry, Misaki."

"No, I'm sorry, too." the black-haired replied.

"That automatically disqualifies the partner, so please leave the area." Maki asked them politely.

Tendou, Draco, Ace, and Jack gathered up to the girls.

"Come on, let's go." the dark blue-haired man placed his right hand on Subaru's left shoulder.

"Rich bastards." Jack muttered.

Ace, Jack, Subaru, and Draco walked out of the gym, but noticed Misaki stayed behind with Tendou.

The two teenagers were giving dagger eyes at Tora and Maki.

Tora grew a smile and thought of an interesting idea to his friend.

"Maki, may I make a suggestion? Perhaps the woman and the cosplayer made it this far because their partners were strong. It'd be a waste to lose a valuable human resource like this. How about we have the remaining two form a new pair? But of course, only if they are both qualified to be here."

Misaki widened her eyes at the blonde's words.

"You can't be serious! ?" the comb-haired Tendou grunted.

"I see. Please let me confirm, just in case."

Tendou scowled and stated, "Age 17. A high school student. I'm a male."

"He's really a guy?"

"He did say he was born with his mother's face."

"That is rare."

"But I'm not so sure about the one wearing glasses."

"She could be a girl, after all."

Misaki held the collar of the shirt and trembled in fear; she would regret doing this.

"Age 16. A high school student." she ripped off the buttons and exposed her light blue shirt before grabbing Tendou's right hand.

Tendou's eyes were wider as plates at the unbelievable sight. "WA-WA-WA-WA-WA-WA-WAIT! ! SHE'S NOT SERIOUS! !" he shouted inwardly, not wanting to know the predicament.

"And I'm... a guy, too!" she placed his right hand on her right breast.

Tora simply widened his eyes in surprise. Ryuunosuke and Shirokawa gaped in astonishment from afar. Subaru turned red and covered her mouth with a gasp. Satsuki and Erika gaped in horror. Honoka simply drank her cup of soda in a calm manner.

"Wow." Was all Draco could say.

"This is unexpected." Tia quickly snapped a picture from her Hunter-VG.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! !" The comb-haired Tendou screamed inwardly, couldn't believe he was forced to touch that spot. He tried to remain calm before blurting out with a fake proud look on his face. "Yep! Definitely a boy!"

One of the men began to laugh.

"Why is he so happy about?"

"So he was a guy after all!"

"It was so easy to tell."

Subaru happily sighed in relief. Satsuki, Erika, and Honoka stared blankly at Tendou.

Ace and Jack dropped their mouths to the floor in complete astonishment. They couldn't believe Tendou, the son of Geo and Sonia, and the crime-fighting Megaman, actually touched a girl where it shouldn't be before marriage.

Misaki smiled at his sudden blurt. She was glad he didn't expose her actual gender.

"Misaki, let's promise never to talk about this." he whispered.

"My lips are sealed."

Tora smiled at them in approval and gestured Maki the signal.

"Very well. We will now move on to Phase two." the short black-haired announced.

Tendou and Misaki continued to scowl at them and refused to let them have their way. They would do what they could to protect Maid Latte at all cost.

From the corner, a man with very large body and his averaged height partner were watching Misaki with hard stares.

"Are you sure she's the one who knows Megaman's whereabouts?" the large one asked.

"Yes, she is. Be sure to stick with the plan." the averaged height replied.

"I'll try. Damn, these human clothes are starting to annoy me. How do they wear such ridiculous outfits?" the large one complained, having difficulty moving his large arms.

"Just deal with it. Even I'm having trouble moving my armor."
