Harumi's POV
"Man, this super glue is awesome my desk is totally fixed now!" Aki said excitedly "Wow, will wonders never cease Yoshii got himself better glue" Hideyoshi deadpanned, "Well if we can't get better stuff, than what's the point of the ST War?" Aki asked "Oh I don't know, how about learning how to control your avatar?" I sarcastically asked him.
"Okay, remind me again why we didn't switch our stuff with the new stuff class E has!" Aki exploded at Yūji "First off the equipment class E has isn't new, it's just a bunch of wooden desks and chairs" I told Aki.
"Well it's better than these kindergarten tables they pulled out of the trash." Aki defended the last part by slamming his hand on his table, but what he didn't realize is that he glued his hand to his table.
I saw Hideyoshi pick up the glue and read it as I said. "You know you just glued your hand to the table Aki." he looked at his hand, stood up, put one foot on his table and tried to get his hand free but apparently he pulled to hard because, Aki lost his leverage and fell to the ground with his table falling on top of him.
"I don't get why you're making a big deal out of this anyway, it's not like you use it to study." Minami said "But I do use it!" Aki protested "I eat on it, I sleep on it, and I draw on it" he continued, "A table is a very important part of everyday life, even in school!" Aki finished.
"Sometimes, I wonder for your mental health Aki" I told him. "Go ahead and kiss those tables goodbye, with the way class A's declaring war on us, we'll be trading them in today" Yūji said. "He didn't say anything about upgrading or downgrading our equipment, he's got a plan" I thought. "Alright guy's, what do you say about checking out class A" Yuji said.
"Hmmm, so this is class A." I said, "Seems more like a 4 star hotel" Kouta said. "Whoa, look at that" Minami started "it's like a kitchen, they can eat out whenever they want!" she finished excitedly "Yeah, don't let them think you're wowed by this 'cause then they got ya" Aki said "just try and act casual like me" he added leaning his hand/table on the wall.
"Aki, you can't say that or, anything really when you've clearly stuffed your pockets full." I said while Minami was shaking with rage "She does that a lot when around him" I noted. "Oh my, what do we have here? Class F came for their beating early?" Yuuko sarcastically asked.
"Nah, just checking out our new equipment." Yūji said, at which I raised an eyebrow at "He doesn't really think that we, class F can win against class A." I was snapped back into attention when I heard "You really are a narcissist aren't you?" Yuuko asked.
"Wow, such a big word for a girl" Yūji retaliated "Excuse me?" Minami and I asked offended at the same time. "Nah, instead of a full blown war, I was thinking how about a rep duel." Yūji said, ignoring Minami, and I while shocking all of us at the same time. "Wow you're an idiot to" Yuuko stated "in what world could you ever beat our top student."
"Yeah well, you're looking like the bigger idiot," Yūji said "I mean you're picking on the lowest class, in the beginning of the year, while were still recovering from our last war." He finished "He has a point" I mumbled to Minami, and Himeji. "We can do this now" Yuuko said a bit madly.
"Wait." Shouko Kirishima said "Hey Shouko" I waved she nodded in recognition. "I accept this duel is mine." she said "But Shouko!" Yuuko tried to protest, "Only, I have one condition, the loser must do one thing for the winner unconditionally." Shouko said as she walked up to Himeji "Sound's fair" Yūji said only for Shouko to say "anything."
"So this is the reason you're picking on class F." Yūji stated. "No, as class A it is our responsibility, to teach class F a lesson, for starting a war without even cracking open a book." Yuuko said. "Fine by me, the loser does anything the winner say's this should be an entertaining duel." Yūji said.
"It's not a duel," Yuuko started "it's six against six." She finished and at that point everybody was shocked. "But Yuuko!" Shouko protested, "I'm sure our rep would emerge victorious. But this way some of our classmates will get some practice for upcoming wars." "Alright, I'll agree, but on a condition," Yūji started "What is it?" Yuuko and Shouko said at the same time "Class F get's to pick the subject's" he finished "Agreed" Shouko said.
I was getting lunch from my locker ({1}) when Shouko came up to me "Harumi, what are you doing Saturday?" she asked "Oh, uh I have to work" I said "If you don't mind me asking, why you want to know?" I asked confused "Somebody wanted to know." She stated before walking away leaving me standing there confused.
Shouko's POV
I walked into a secluded part of my classroom "So what did she say?" she asked "She has to work Saturday." I stated. "So, what about Sunday?" she asked again "I didn't ask." She sighed "Let me guess" she started "you didn't ask where she worked either." I nodded "You didn't ask me to ask her where she worked." I said looking around the classroom, "Shouko, what am I going to do? I'm acting like a fangirl of Hideyoshi's." I looked at her "Why don't you just ask her to go out with you after we win, and use the excuse of our condition when she asks why you asked her out Yuuko." I suggested to her "Maybe" Yuuko said thinking.
Harumi's POV
I was standing in line with Himeji on my right and Yūji on my left "Alright, time to start round one" Ms. Takahashi announced "Ugh why am I the round whore?" Hideyoshi asked "What are you talking about Hideyoshi, do you see anyone else around here as pretty as you" Aki asked "Aki you do know he's not a girl, right." I said but Aki was interrupted from answering by Ms. Takahashi saying "Will one person from each class come up."
Round One
Akaho Satou identical twin sister to Miho Satou walked up she was facing Minami and the subject was math. "Minami against Akaho Satou, hmm Minami could have easily gotten into class B with her math scores, but there was more kanji than numbers so no wonder she ended up in class F." I was snapped back into attention when I heard the computer announce "Winner, Akaho Satou".
Round Two
Miho Satou identical twin sister to Akaho Satou walked up as Yūji was encouraging Aki to do his best in the fight. "He's an idiot if he thinks' fighting with his left hand will actually make a difference." Aki was hit with the winning blow as Ms. Takahashi announced "Winner! Miho Satou.".
Round Three
As paramedics carried Aki away from the beating Minami gave him Kouta was called up to fight against Aiko Kudou, the subject was Phys Ed. Along with Health. "Oh, Kouta is so going to win this." I started to pay attention because I also knew that Kudou would probably play dirty and do something to either make Kouta nosebleed and/or make his perverted side come out and have Kouta not pay attention to the fight. I looked up just in time to see Kouta and my brother go back in nosebleeds.
"Aki!" I called and ran to where he was and I got there just before Minami and Himeji. "Aki, come on wake up!" I said a little panicked about how much blood he and Kouta were losing. Suddenly Kouta got up wiping the blood from his face as they started the match I could already tell Kouta was gonna win because I knew his score. They both summoned there avatar's and Kouta took her out in a single blow. "Winner! Kouta Tsuchiya". Class F roared in excitement.
Round Four
I was called up to fight against Yuuko Kinoshita, "Oh this is gonna be a tough match." I started to bite my lip "Have you decided on your subject?" Ms. Takahashi asked me "Yeah, Science please."
"Very well" Ms. Takahashi replied. "Summon!" I whispered while Yuuko mildly shouted "Summon!" and the fight began but our score levels were still fluctuating. We were hitting each other blow after blow, and our scores were getting lower and lower, until we hit each other at the same time! By that time we were panting and red in the face "It's a Tie!" Ms. Takahashi said a bit wide eyed and I don't blame her ties didn't happen that often.
"Good fight." I said still panting a bit to Yuuko and she smiled in return I felt my face get a little hotter "Am I blushing . . . Nah, I'm sure it's just from the fight." I thought as I walked back to where our group was and sat down in exhaustion next to Minami. "You did great out there." she said "Thanks, but I'm sure you did better." I told her.
Round Five
Himeji was called up to fight against Toshimitsu Kubo, the subject was all subjects. "Huh, I wonder how this fight is gonna turn out." I pondered.
"Hey Harumi,"
"Yeah Minami,"
"Are you working this Saturday?"
"You know, you're the second person that's asked me that today, and yes I am."
"Really, who was the first?"
"Shouko, she said somebody wanted to know."
"Huh, I wonder who." Minami pondered "Yeah, you're not the only one Minami" I replied, and looked over to where Himeji was fighting and watched until a few seconds later, when she won the battle and class F erupted in cheers. Minami and I walked over to where Aki was "Can you believe it Aki, were tied with the top class!" Minami said excitedly.
Himeji was waving at us or more like Aki as she ran over to us. "So, I guess the next match decides who wins." Hideyoshi said and I looked over at him along with Kouta, and Akihisa and they were blown back in nosebleeds. "Yeah, and it's the representative duel." I replied back to him not at all fazed by the way he was holding his chest, as if he was covering his breasts.
Round Six
"Alright then, it's time to start the sixth and final round!" Ms. Takahashi announced Yūji and Aki were talking before Yūji walked up the same time Shouko did. "Yūji Sakamoto, class F rep." Yūji announced himself in his usual laidback manner. "Class A representative Shouko Kirishima." Shouko announced herself in her usual manner of mild emotionless/and formalness.
"Alright, what is your subject?" Ms. Takahashi asked "Why don't we mix things up," Yūji started "let's get a restricted Japanese history test," he continued "how about we raise the stakes a little more, elementary level, and limited questions hmm, a perfect score of 100." Yūji finished.
I started to get a little sleepy,"Huh, guess that battle took more energy that I thought." I thought as I yawned, so I lay down and completely ignored the conversation and fell asleep.
I jolted awake to the sounds of disappointment, I stood up and looked at the screen and saw the results of the test "Oh, so that's what all the sound is about." I said.
"I didn't think they could actually get worse equipment!" Aki exclaimed a bit mad and started to tear into Yūji's scores of the test. The door suddenly opened and Shouko walked in "Yūji the promise," Shouko said "Yeah I remember, so let's have it what do you want?" he asked while Aki and Kouta were rambling about nonsense in the background. "Yūji, I want you to go out with me." Shouko said.
"I thought you'd given up on that." he replied "I can never give up on this, you're the one I've always liked best." She said "Can I say no?" Yūji asked. "No. You made a promise remember," Shouko started "and now were going out on a date." She finished. "Wait a min-"Yūji was cut off by Shouko knocking him out and walking out of the classroom dragging Yūji with her.
It was silent in the classroom again, "What was that all about?" Minami asked "Don't know, but so sweet." Himeji replied "Shouko has had a crush on Yūji since they were kids, I don't know the full details, though even if I did I still wouldn't share them all." I said.
As everyone else was talking I was rummaging through my bag "Huh, why do I feel like I've forgotten something?" I was pondering that thought when I heard Aki say "Hold on your gonna make me blow through Harumi and I's whole food budget before our parents can send some more money!"
"That's it, I forgot to go food shopping yesterday!" I remembered as I looked out the window "Hmm, it's too late to go now . . . I'll just have to go tomorrow after my shift at the Book store."
