IS Infinite Build
Construct 22: The Academy Snake
Sento: Hello everyone! Today we have Houki Shinonono subbing in for the narrator.
Houki: Sensei? Do I have to do this?
Sento: No. But since you're here anyways, may as well do it.
Houki: Well… It's just reading a script… Ahem. Last Construct, Rin had come to ask for Ichika's apologie. But he refused to answer knowing he has nothing to apologise about. Things escalated when the supposed "Genius" Physicist and Counselor Kiryu Sento dropped a bomb and Rin learned about Kasumi's death. She exclaimed for an explanation from Ichika. But he refused again, so Rin challenged him to a duel. Now what will happen in Construct 22?
Sento: Good jo- wait. Why was genius put in air quotes!? Who di-

We are Sento
It's been 6 days since the Challenge was given to Ichika and with the high tension from the two's rivalry, the seats for the match are sold out. Me and Chifuyu are currently about to drop in on a ticket counterfeiter. I haven't been able to apologies to Rin-chan due to her preparing for the match. I should apologise to her… When I get that chance that is… I get a tap on my shoulder from Chifuyu. We are busting down on some students who are trying to counter fit seats to other students.
Chifuyu:(looks to Sento) Get your head in the game.
Sento:(nods) Right. Sorry.
Student 1: All eyes are on Banjou-kun during this year's Taikosen! There's a lot of students who wish to see his match, but the seats are already sold out though reservations!(reaches down) That's why~ I went ahead and bought all these tickets from those students.
Student 2: Hmm~
Student 1: Let's sell them for a thousand yen higher to interested students… You in?
Student 2:(smiles) That sounds really good.
"I'll take point on this one." I say giving Chifuyu a pat on the shoulder. I reach into my pocket. I take out the Ninja Full Bottle. I give the bottle a quick shake, then I open the cap. Smoke engulfs me, I appear in front of the girls snatching up the Tickets. The girls stumble back in surprise.
Student 1: K-Kiryu-sensei!?
Sento:(looks at tickets) Now what do we have here? Now girls, you know it's wrong to acquire tickets only to sell them off at a higher price. It's unfair for those other students who can get it for a better price.
Student 2: Ah… N-No! We're just… getting it for our friends! Right?
Student 1: Yeah! That's it!
"Really now?" The two freeze with fear as they slowly turn around to see Chifuyu. "Let's see now. How about you let me in on it as well. What did they say again Sento?" I pull up a recording on their words. Busted. The students color begin to fade as fear overtakes them. "Let's sell then for a thousand yen higher. Correct?" The two slowly nod. Chifuyu gestures me to leave the room. I exit the room, and as the door closes a scream of agony are heard. I look back down to the tickets. I walk over to my bag that I placed next to the door, I open it up and take out a folder. I place the tickets inside, that's when I hear footsteps. Hmm? I head over to the conner and peek around it. It's Ichijo-san, writing a message on a secure terminal? I give another shake to the Ninja bottle, smoke engulfs me as I press up against the wall and a cover hides me. I turn around the corner and towards Ichijo-san.
Ichijo: I need to make this quick… Their.(looks side to side)
Ichijo-san runs off soon after. I drop the cover and I look at the console. The message had been sent to… Some where, the location had been blocked? Odd. We should be able to send messages anywhere, even Hokuto and Seito. I check the message. "The Materiales have arrived, and the game can continue." A message for a Game Ichijo-san is playing? I need to investigate further…
We are Ichika
I sit in the changing room, my thoughts are spinning with the upcoming match. I didn't mean that last insult but that just seems to reinforce Rin's convention on defeating me. I feel my knuckle, a few bones were cracked after the punch that dented Rin IS.
Flashback…
Sento:(turns) You punched Rin-chan's IS without your own IS on?!
Ichika:(rubbing knuckle) Yeah? So? I mean I'm not dead.
Sento:(Sigh~) No. But if you didn't have the Dragon Full Bottle with you during then. You're entire arm would be off and probably over the edge.
O-Off and over the Edge?! A cold shiver runs up my spine as Sento, Chloe, Sawa-san, and Tabane all let out a collective sigh. I mean I know that was stupid but still! "You're lucky the Dragon Bottle was there. Even if Rin-chan was holding back, that punch would have broken your arm." Checking my Dragon Bottle I can't help but feel thankful of Kasumi's divine protection.
Chloe:(leans back) Perhaps you should be sent back to elementary school.
Sento:(nods) True. Considering his lack of an ability to cognitively to know cause and effect is a big problem.
Ichika:(annoyed) HEY! I know Cause and Effect!(points to Sento) You seemed to forget that you yourself caused this situation unintentionally!
Sento: True, but that was due to a lack of information. A lack of information and an assumption is what caused this.
Back to the Present...
Thinking back to what Sento said, I can't help but feel annoyed at how smooth he can act sometimes. Damn it. He knows that he made a mistake and yet. With him it seems like all his mistakes are on purpose… Weather it's against me or for my sake I can't tell. I shake the thought off as I get up and finish getting ready for practice.
We are Sento
"That's what I found. Not much else." I finish the report and hand place it in the IS Academy's private servers. Both Chifuyu and I are concerned if Faust managed to enter our ranks. "Well. Nevertheless, continue to look into it." Chifuyu orders. A quick salute and I place that on my to do list. Alongside finding the Best Match for Ninja, and possibly create a weapon for that Best Match. The door opens as a student enters.
Student: Oh, there they are Banjou-sensei, Kiryu-sensei! I've got some questions.
I pull up the file of the student. Her name is Mayuzumi Kaoruko, age 16 second year and is the vice-president of the newspaper club here at the school. Kaoruko-chan has blue eyes, wears glasses and has dark pink hair attached in a short ponytail, wearing the IS academy student uniform.
Chifuyu: We'll leave that conversation for a later date.
Sento:(nods) Agreed.
Chifuyu:(turns towards door) With that out of the way. Any business in the Faculty room, Mayuzumi?
Mayuzumi:(puts forward paper) Ta-Da! Here's our permission slip for covering the Taikousen! Buuut, I got some questions for you and Kiryu-sensei.(takes out tablet) Weren't there kids who bought seats from students, and were planning to sell those seats to those who don't have them? Sources state that you and Kiryu-sensei busted and that you gave them punishment personally… We also heard that they didn't come out of their rooms for days, and what sounded like cries of pain were coming from their rooms. I wonder why that's the case?
Chifuyu:(sighes) Don't make up anything scandalous, I simply gave them a strict warning.
Sento:(looks to Chifuyu) Ah, you see for those cries of pain. The reason for that, is Chifuyu's killer kick. Interesting fact, it can even break concrete.
"Really?!" Mayuzumi-chan says with amazement in her eyes. Chifuyu let's out an angered grunt, as she raises up her leg into the air. I quickly reach down to a drawer, opening it I put on a face mask and I put up to block, a cinder block. Chifuyu drops her leg towards the ground. The impact of Chifuyu's leg breaks straight though the block, and cracks a part of the floor. "Whoa~" Mayuzumi-chan exclaims, even Yamada-san seems surprised by this. Imagine the pain I put on the cleaning crew, handling this.
Sento:(takes mask off) As you see, she is a Demon somehow fitted into an adult female.(puts hand on chin) Incredible that it also doesn't break her legs as well. Perhaps I should experiment on your leg some time.
Chifuyu:(sighs) You are not going anywhere near me and one of you're weird experiments.(Sento chuckles) And what do you mean by "Somehow?"(grabs Sento) I will end.
I take out the Diamond Full Bottle and I keep it under the table out of sight of the student. "You know I'd be able to take it and dish out much more.(turns to Mayuzumi) Not in a sexual way mind you." She would pay hell, if a rumor got out about us being in a relationship. I have no intention to get with her. And I get the feeling that neither does Chifuyu. Chifuyu backs off. "Sigh~ Then would it not be best to just back off." I shrug.
Mayuzumi:(writes down notes) Well, I have something to write about now at least. I still have another question. Since this year's Taikousen is a pretty special event the newspaper club wants to release an extra special feature. An exclusive arena-side interview with you, Banjou-sensei.
Chifuyu: … Special, eh… I can't say anything of interest, though.
Mayuzumi: Oh, come on now! You're Banjou-kun's instructor and Big Sister! It'll be a big hit with our readers!
Chifuyu:(puts aside paper) Well… That's true, He's someone who didn't receive the same IS training as you ladies. He's been aquantaited with the IS for several months yet is quite capable at piloting and fighting with it. It's a very interesting subject.
Mayuzumi:(nods) I see, and?
"And?" Chifuyu asks confused by the question. So that's all there is to say. "Well, you know "He'll definitely win it!" or "I hope he won't get hurt." You know stuff a big sister would say." HA! She would never say such a thing. Not by a long shot. Yamada-san leans in, with excitement across her face. I can predict where this is going. Though I'm sure anyone else can.
Yamada: Ah…(Looks at Chifuyu) I want to hear about what you think too.
Mayuzumi: Think so too!? Let's start hearing some heart warming "Episode" from his sis…
Sento:(chuckles) Fat chance ladies.(looks at watch) 3. 2. 1.
Chifuyu:(cracks knuckles) Seems like you two would also like a "Strict Warning..."
The two shiver in fear at the idea of a "Strict Warning." Especially after I showed them that concrete technice. I just smile and cross my arms. Chifuyu, fixes herself, and I look back to Yamada-san and Mayuzumi-chan. The two look at me, surprised at my reaction to all of this. "H-How do you not find that terrifying?!" Yamada-san exclaims in terror.
Sento:(shrugs) Dunno. Guess I just don't fear her as much as others.
Chifuyu:(turns away) Honestly Mayuzumi! If that's all you may go back to you're classroom.
Mayuzumi: Ah! Wait! I have two more questions, this next one is for Kiryu-sensei.
"Me?" I ask point to myself. It's about time. Their have been many rumors since my arrival here, especially surrounding my relationship with Chifuyu. I smile and cross my arms. I gesture to her to continue. I sit in intrestist of what question is about to be asked. "Many people have been wondering about you. With you being from the Touto government and all." She pauses wounding my reaction. I gesture her to continue.
Mayuzumi: With all the questions we have about you, the Newspaper club recently did a poll for which is the most asked question. After racking up, it seems that a majority wants to know…
Sento:(nods) Yes? No need for the dramatic pause.
Mayuzumi:(points at Sento) Kiryu Sento-sensei! Why are you eyes colored so oddly?!
"...HAAAAA~?!" Me, Chifuyu, and Yamada-san all say in unison...THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT A MAJORITY WANT TO KNOW?! I process the question, and after grasping the situation I take a breath. I was thinking more serious question like "What's it like working at the Touto government?" or "What secrets do you know?" Not my own eyes… Though, I'm expecting too much from Teenagers who think of the IS as some sort of fashion statement.
Sento: Ahem… Well then.(points to eyes) I suppose they are referring to my blood red right eye, and dark blue left eye?
Mayuzumi:(nods) Yup! Everyone had that on their minds when you showed up. People think that it's contacts, are they?
Sento:(chuckles) This is the worse outcome. Ah, no actually they are my natural eyes. They weren't always like this mind you, but they changed to this color after an experiment testing with Pandora matter, because I used to work with the team that is reaching the Pandora's Box.
And by Pandora matter, I mean the Full Bottles. It was a really messy situations to say the least. "Please explain." This explanation is going to be really bare bones, but hopefully enough to feed them all. I fix myself up and I ready my answer.
Sento: Okay. So what happened was that I was curious about the Pandora Matter, and wanted to test on it. Then while testing, there was an explosion. Mind you that first blast was not the one that caused my eye color. It was the second blast of Pandora Matter that got in my eyes.
Mayuzumi: Was it bad?
Sento: If by bad, you mean, sizzling, screaming, pain, and sudden medical help. Then yes… But after all was set and done, my eyes had changed to the color they are now. I tried to get the doctors to remove them so I can experiment on them. But apparently my medical insurance don't allow for the removal and replacement of my eyes. I was thinking of doing it myself but I couldn't find an adequate pair of eyes that would work. So I ended up putting away that experiment.
Yamada: W-Wow, when I asked, I should have asked you keep the details minimal.
"I thought that was for the best at the time." I say as I check my Emails. "Probably for the best." Yamada-san responds. I feel like I'm stepping over a minefield at this point. Mayuzumi-chan clears her throat. "Okay… One last question. For Chifuyu-san." Last one, here we go.
Mayuzumi: Fang-san and Banjou-san are Childhood friends right? Having to fight someone you know from childhood. When you think about it….
Chifuyu: That's true… He's run into quite a few familiar faces. There's Fang Lin Yin, Shinonono as well…
Chifuyu stares off into the distance from out the window, and I can tell what she's thinking. She's thinking about Kasumi-chan. I let out a sigh knowing that is hurts her inside knowing that she can't show this pain.
Sento:(looks at Mayuzumi) At this point, this match became personal. I can't explain why for confidentiality, just note that this match is going to be very personal.
