ALPHA STREAM

"WARM UP"

CHAPTER 2: The day finally came for him when his goal finally went to reality. He prepared all his things packed all his belongings, clothes, etc. As he looked one more time in his apartment "I'll miss this place",since the academy provides dormitory halls. as he stepped outside and shut the door he was waited by a man with yellow bleach hair and wearing a butler outfit welcoming him

"good morning sir Aoi" said the butler

"morning to you too uhhhh..." asked Aoi

"the name is kaito murakami, butler to the miyami family" said kaito politely then bowed to him.

seeing him bow he did the same also. then he points a the limo.

"will i be taking a ride in the limo?"

asked Aoi then the window opened and shizuka was inside it answering his question.

"nope today your taking the REQUIEM down at a thrust drive test, lets see if that dinosaur can still have its works, we'll just take care of your things. now go get goin."

as Aoi makes his way down the stairs ,he stumbled as he got caught up by her sudden demand. getting back up in his feet he tries to reason out to her.

"b-b-but i still don't know how to use its thrust drive. I was barely hiding the REQUIEM from unwanted visitors, and when i mean that i mean the landlady. lucky for me she went shopping this morning."

then she looks at him with a calm expression on the face.

"what are you so worried about?"

"you handled the REQUIEM well just yesterday. if you did that then i don't think you'll have a problem here."

with that she closed the window. then Aoi gave out a little sigh of grief.

"I'm dead. im not even at the academy and im already dead."

saying his funny remorse kaito laughed while he walks going to get Aoi's things.

"don't worry, you'll get used to it, eventually."

then Aoi turns his attention to him.

"you see the thing is, the reason why she is like that is because, she puts a lot of faith to what she pays great attention to, like your AS: REQUIEM. she's very determined to let her efforts for her discovery not go to waste. that's why with every inch of her power she still perceivers."

hearing what kaito told him, he felt a little bit ease in his atmosphere.

"well that and she's very strict and demanding at most times. so...good luck"

letting his guard down his easing atmosphere suddenly got shattered to a million pieces. trying to catch up to kaito after hearing that he said ti him he stopped and looked blindly at the pitch black window on the limo and sensed a very terrifying aura. then he remembers the face she saw the other day.

remembering that, he rushed to the black cargo in the trees without hesitation. then he opened it quickly. opening it he was once more amazed by the sight of the REQUIEM although it's not much to look at. stepping forward into the cargo he opens the REQUIEM and went inside it.

"alright...(sigh) REQUIEM, START!"

with those words uttered the REQUIEM was in his control.

heading out towards the limo, inside the REQUIEM lies Aoi trembling in the fear that he might end up dead because of his first time using REQUIEM in a flight test. then he sees kaito giving a thumbs up to him as he puts his things in the limo.

getting a grip from himself he then begins to start REQUIEM ,amazed but trembling at the same time. then he activates the thrust drive function. taking a good grip of the controls in both of his arms he shouted

"THRUST DRIVE INITIATE!"

then the REQUIEMs legs and back started to expand to a jet like engine compartment with 2 metal flips at both of its feet and 2 exhaust valves at his back, then it starts exhausting slowly some afterburner flames to signal its thrust drive working. holding to the controls he starts to thrust it forward and starts to burst from the sky from the ground up.

being up in the air he was amazed on what he saw up high, the sun rising from the horizon, the whole city in his view. then gaining enough air control he was able to maneuver a bit of the AS only keeping himself constant if the air.

then from the right side of his screen flashed up words.

"INCOMING CALL"

"it seems the REQUIEM is able to let its thrust drive work perfectly. ok ,now travel to the academy...here are the coördinates. wait there till we arrive. understood?"

"yes ma'am"

acquiring the coördinates to the academy he revved up his thrust drive then bursted his way to the academy. hurriedly heading towards the academy while he travels, he sees his old school. up in the air he sees the students looking at him. then he gave a smile.

"its been fun hanging in this school ,even though i don't really fit in. I'm going to miss this place"

being on the school for a few moments to lastly see it he says farewell.

"but, bye."

as he passes by the school he finally arrived at the promised land. seeing it from the horizon he felt welcomed and excited. after taking a good around the place he then landed the REQUIEM where he was to meet shizuka. putting his REQUIEM back on the ground he opens it goes down from it and watched the entire school it was big and wide as an entire city amazed, then eventually he noticed that he was the only one around.

With no one else was there. then he started to think to himself

"maybe class already started"

Then he looked around to make sure it was then he sits by the REQUIEM's foot.

"ahhhhhhhhhhh...alone and free"

resting and feeling the warm breeze of the wind, Aoi then heard some loud noises coming from a huge stadium not far from him. listening carefully he heard sound of swords clashing and cannons blasting. curious on what it was he stood up and walked towards the place where he heard it. moments later he reached a short hallway and from the end of it he saw lights flashing and all tge sounds he heard earlier. reaching the end he was surprised to what he saw. right in front of him was an AS live practice battle inside the huge staduim.

seeing it he became astounded by the fight. then due to excitement he took a closer look but didn't noticed that he was falling from the railings. stumbled on the railings he fell to the arena. without no one noticing him he was almost stomped by the huge feets of the AS. luckily a girl with semi- short voilet hair at the age of 18 with eyes colored in dark blue wearing a deep blue jacket and jogging pants noticed him in the arena almost being killed. then she and shouted

"STOP,STOP,STOP!"

waving her hand at the 2 AS battling the battle stopped.

curious about why she stopped the exercise one of them asked her.

"what happened, whats the matter ms. satsuki?" said the AS who was about to clash to the other.

coming down the stairs she headed towards Aoi ,frightened from near certain death.

"this daredevil interfered with your fight, thats what happened."

said the girl with the violet hair. seeing the disturbance everyone in the arena turned to them.

seeing the girl furious he apologized.

"sorry i kinda, accidentally fell and stumble on the railings, my bad."

gazing furiously at him she noticed the clothes he's wearing were no anything but normal.

"who are you anyway ,judging from what you're wearing your not from this school, are you?"

hearing that he gladly introduced himself to her.

" sorry, the name is Aoi kakuzaki and-"

with those words still in his mind he was interrupted by a very familiar voice.

"and he'll be attending school here from now on."

exclaimed shizuka folding her arms showing a face that spells the word, all in caps "YOU'RE DEAD."

Aoi looking back to where the voice came from he felt even worse.

"I told you to stay put in the place I asked you to go, but you didn't follow."

"sorry miss miyami i got caught up with the battle and I kinda stumbled down here and one problem followed after another."

hearing his excuse she got a little bit frustrated. folding her arms she gave a short sigh of grief.

"fine, at least you already know your way to the first arena, with that we can already start your entrance test fast."

then she looks at the girl in violet hair.

"get it ready satsuki, i want this to be quick. i have a meeting after this."

"yeah,yeah don't get your buttons up a twist, at least ill have to teach this guy a lesson for interfering with my practice session, before he enters the academy."

with those words said she heads out to the stairs giving Aoi a pissed off look. with the agreement being done suddenly, Aoi was caught off guard. then he looks at shizuka and with a confused expression in his face.

"W-W-What? miss miyami, you gotta be kidding me ,right?!, i have to actually fight again but to a teacher in front of those many people i don't even know most of the controls yet of the REQUIEM, yet. except the blade and the thrust drive."

"this is still part of my observation to the REQUIEM and, as is it stated in the rulebook, it is required for all students to face an instructor before really enrolling to the school to test if you're good enough or bad."

then she stares at him with a grim face put on.

"now get REQUIEM and start it so that i can finish early"

seeing the expression in her face ,Aoi heads out the arena and to the REQUIEM, without hesitation. reaching the REQUIEM Aoi opened it and went in. activating it he starts to move towards the arena. using his AS to go about, he saw shizuka by a huge doorway. reaching her ,the doorway opened and saw a short hallway going to the arena. then a message came from his right side of the screen.

"just go straight to the arena, I'll be watching you in the grandstand."

"try to do your best I'm watching you to know if the REQUIEM works well in battle with tougher AS."

seeing shizuka on her way to the grandstand. he whispered to himself.

"(sigh), easy for you to say"

making his way to the horizon just by the end of the hallway, he saw an AS with rotating wheels on its heels and on its hips a metal KUSAZURI (samurai skirt.) containing short sharp tips, and had the color magenta being the dominant color of its body and outlined in yellow on most parts of its whole body.

then another call came for him.

"you're going to go up against an AS model named INTERCEPTOR be careful, it's a speed -reliable AS that has immense speed but light damage...well, depending on its weapons installation, in this case its an instructor your faced with so I don't know what type of weapon installation it has."

then the AS in front of him spoke, with a girl-like voice, tha sounded a bit familiar with him.

"c'mon hurry up i still have some documents left at my table i need to finish it before 5:00 pm."

with her saying that, from the dark parts of the hallway entered a black figure. as it cames to the arena , all eyes turned on it. to everyone's surprise it was an AS with a name put in its forehead "REQUIEM" and colored in black, with its exterior made of a block-like surface, and its eyes barely seen, same height as every AS model height,but a little different.

seeing the REQUIEM everyone started to talk to each other in confusion,

"what is that model?"

"dont know what that is but, wow. it's really lame."

"this wont take long."

also seeing it she also gave a humorous attitude towards it.

"are you kidding me is that what I'm going to fight?"

"shizuka ,seriously? I don't even know what it is, it's neither a GUARDIAN OR an INTERCEPTOR OR even an OVERLORD"said satsuki as she looks at shizuka

not answering her she just sat there in the grandstand talking with a tiny volume of her voice.

"you'll be surprised on what that thing is capable of satsuki."

then she recalls the fight she observed yesterday.

"what I saw the other day isn't a sham it was real."

after seeing them facing each other, the countdown started and at the 10 second interval the horn blows and without a second to waste the fight begins. both watching each others movement .Aoi made the first move, he grabbed his sword at the back and charged recklessly towards satsuki. seeing him attempt to do a fast takedown, satsuki dodged it and hit the REQUIEM with her elbow from its back. being hit ,the REQUIEM fell on its body.

landing a first blow to him she laughed.

"hahahahahahahah ,what was that? charging the enemy without thinking ,heh, noobie. let me show you how to really fight."

getting back up on his feet, satuki backed down a bit, then from her wrist unsheathes two blades, then thrusted forward to him. seeing the REQUIEM on its foot in the ground, she hits it multiple times with her arm blades. by each blow to it she didn't let the REQUIEM go down the ground again. Aoi getting attacked again and again, he fell to the ground. barely conscious enough, all he could see was a blurry view of his enemy. still not giving up he stands back up his feet and tries to counter but as he did, every single attack he made was a miss and dodge.

"damn it-ARGHHH! she's too fast"

seeing the battle go badly for Aoi shizukas hope for the REQUIEM to be proven if it is still operational being able to fight was almost gone but she still watch and hope that Aoi could somehow be able to put up a fight.

still attempting to do a counter move he failed. missing one attempt to attack satsuki made her way at his back and landed a direct hit. taking that attack he once again fall to the ground. being on the ground once more he sees everyone laughing at him.

"no,no,no,no"

"its just like my first day in my old school i became lonely because...because i was weak and afraid to even stand up to myself and others and now...I really am in this school...I am."

he then remembered his past life in his old school. show to himself being lonely because he was afraid and weak to fight back to the ones treating him like nothing. then he remembers in his mind the child in him that was being bullied no one there to help him. keeping himself isolated from the other students. but in those dark memories on his mind, it somehow altered .in the depth of those shadows a light flashed in front of him and appeared in front of him was the REQUIEM, standing looking at him. then he remembered how he fought those two AS pilots that tried to take REQUIEM.

then he realized that he didn't fought alone but he fought with something by his side to give a lending hand.

"thats right I'm never weak I just needed to find the courage to fight alongside my weaknesses"

getting back to his consciousness he heard a very demanding voice crying out to him. then he sees his instructor just standing not far from him.

"c'mon is that all you've got ,I don't believe you."

then she turns her back against him

"well, if it is ,then get going to the showers and pack your things and go to your dorm room"

turning her back against him she starts to head out but as she did , she heard gears grinding each other and the sound of a heavy metal object rising. then when she followed to where the sound came from she was surprised to see the REQUIEM slowly getting back up his feet. seeing the REQUIEM barely standing up everyone even shizuka shocked and surprised as satsuki.

"i ain't giving up this fight ,i wont be weak!"

"ill pass this test one way or the other."

getting over the feeling of seeing him getting surprising comeback, she gave him an applause for it.

"I'm impressed your still going for it. giving you all those simple attacks didn't get you to the ground the third time. gotta give you credit for that."

saying that she sees the REQUIEM fully standing up.

"but don't think that ill go lightly with you this time."

then she prepares her arm blades and dashed herself in a serpentine movement towards the REQUIEM. with Aoi being attacked multiple times earlier he got used to her attack pattern and hopes to find an open window. with his intsructor doing the serpentine movement he just left his sword at his right side and just stood there. following her movement Aoi quickly saw a 0.5 second window. then he starts to clench his fist then without hesitation and accurate calculations he landed a direct hit to the abdomenal part of his instructor's AS .

getting hit with the sudden attack she lowered her upper body. then looking up she saw the REQUIEM clenching its fist and punched her in the left side of her face. with the intructor being in Aoi's hand he took a tight grip and tossed her away. everyone was shocked to see the REQUIEM fighting back even though it was hit many times.

being tossed away she got back up in her feet.

"nggghh-you got skills i appreciate that, the AS academy could really have use of your uncoordinated tactics."

"but I'm really late for my class. so this means that i will have to end this match really quick."

with satsuki uttering those words she retracts her arm blades and puts out both of her arms to the open air and from that, 2 plasma cannons formed and dropped down by her hands. then the short sharp blades from her KUSAZURI started to extend then it quickly detached itself from it. separating from her AS the six sharp blades began to exhaust flames and floated around her body.

"you're the first student that ive unleashed my FANG's to." (note: FANG's are AERIAL MANEUVERED WEAPONS)

with Aoi seeing it he starts to back down and grabbed his sword.

everyone was surprised to see their teacher satsuki unleashing her artillery, shizuka on the other hand wasnt really surprised at all , its as if she already saw it coming.

"this is nothing personal. this part is also involved in your test."

"since you're still insisting to continue the test I might as well give it all ive got."

then she charges up all her cannons. Aoi on the other hand was in a tight situation again after seeing her weapons. after a few moments the charges began to glow brightly. seeing it Aoi readied his thrust drive. then without a second thought she fired at him. with him being targeted with thousands of plasma rounds he used his thrust drive to evade it. heading towards the right he bursted from his current place towards the next , in hopes to not get hit with it.

the arena was filled with burst of plasma rounds all targeting on the REQUIEM. dodging from one place to the other he didn't see anymore an opening.

"dammit...i cant get close to her."

seeing him dodging all her attacks she aimed for one of its thrust drives. finally satsuki blew off the REQUIEM's right leg afterburner. hitting it the REQUIEM lost its momentum and stumbled to the ground. seeing the fatal damage she stopped her firing.

stumbling down the ground he tries to get back up again. getting back up he looks at the thrust drive on his right leg. taking a look at it was barely able to function.

"nghhhhhh-this is not looking good. the right legs thrust drive is damaged. but i think she really didn't finish it out completely. i can be able to use it. but for one more try only. great..."

then he looks at her.

"this is one intense entrance test. i hope this school can fix this or if not ms. shizuka should be the one to repair it instead."

seeing the REQUIEM's damage she thinks to herself.

"by my calculations, it shouldnt be able to use its thrust drive anymore. seeing his AS it needs all four for it to balance itself, without one of it its futile to use it anymore."

insisting to end the test, she charges up for one big attack. but as she did she also gave him a little bit of good advice but not in a very aggressive or challenging way.

"hey, you still want to continue or not, cuz after this there's no backing down."

hearing that he still didn't plan back down.

"i can still continue ma'am."

saying that to her she was shocked and a little bit challenged.

"okay...if you say so. then im going to give part of my core drive energy to this last attack. make sure you survive this,newbie cuz i think this is it for your AS."

from the grandstand shizukas face was merely frustrated and calm at the same time. then she recalls the REQUIEM being hit by the desolator plasma cannon the other day.

" judging from the fight yesterday, the REQUIEM got hit by a lvl 5 plasma cannon and it didn't got even a single dent, only it got heated up and rounded itself up in simmers. if adding it up to her lvl 3 fangs and lvl 6 plasma cannons i think there's only 50% chance the REQUIEM might survive...but-"

then she looks at the REQUIEM and suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

" lets not make hasty decisions, yet ma'am. there's more to Aoi and REQUIEM than that. just keep a close eye"

looking to where it came from she looked at her right and saw kaito sitting by her side. then she looks at him but to her surprise she saw him very calm. then turned her attention to the fight.

"I thought I told you to stay in the limo."

"well I was worried about what was happening, so i just made my way through here. and it looks like it's not going good for him...for now."

then he continues to observe the test.

fully charging her fangs and cannons she immediately fired it to him.

" FIRE: DIVINE RETRIBUTION"

then she fired all her cannon towards the REQUIEM. seeing the sphere made of plasma particles heading towards him like a bullet he had a little bit of time to cross his arms and readied himself for it. taking a direct hit to the REQUIEM the arena was filled with a cloud of dust and a loud explosion filled the academy. feeling reassured of that direct attack she gained the feeling of victory and thought she won.

"and thats it. aint no way he could have survive that, well mostly his just ask someone to carry him to the infirmary and his AS to the motor pool to fix it, just hope they can ,though. whew...havent really fought like that in a very long time. "

going near the cloud of smoke she attempts to help him but something was wrong.

"well might as well help him ou-"

as the smoke cleared she stopped going near to it and saw something still standing. seconds later the smoked cleared out there in front of her there the REQUIEM still standing with its arms crossed, simmering from the attack.

seeing it she began to back away.

"h-h-how can it still be standing ? there's not a single dent. that attack should have finished you off "

standing there by the wallside, everyone became silent, as they all saw the REQUIEM still holding on. shizuka on the other hand was surprised to see it still in the battlefield.

"i told you...theres more to that machine and Aoi than meets the eye."

then she looks at him with a relieved expression on her face.

"(sigh) get ready and head to the limo ill be quick after this."

saying that kaito immediately heads out of the grandstand. but before he did he was stopped by shizuka.

"that attitude of yours and the words that come out of your mouth earlier are really something. it's no wonder why you got accepted by my mother to be the family's closest butler."

then he replied to her back

"well, if I may those characteristics of mine you just described earlier are just what makes me...well, me."

then he heads off with a smile.

turning her attention now to the fight, she observed that it wasnt really finished.

letting its crossed arms down, he tries to pull himself together after the heavy attack.

"not gonna lie, if I didn't readied myself then that would have been it for me."

then he readies his sword.

"now its my turn to fight back."

and again the sword in his hand lit up in blue light everyone was amazed on what it was even his instructor. not minding the sword glowing he activates his thrust drive.

hearing the sound of jet engines coming from the REQUIEM she got confused.

"he would his thrust drive with only 3 afterburners. that wouldn't work the flight pattern of the AS would be disarrayed."

activating his thrust drive he revs it up.

"here I go!"

having said that Aoi dashed himself forward to her,but he was using a very similar form of movement. as satsuki prepares her cannons she noticed the movement of Aoi's AS. to her surprise she saw him doing the serpentine move like she did early in the fight only using only 2 thrust drive afterburners from its back. seeing Aoi do the serpentine she already knew the weakness to it. setting up all her cannons she fired at the entire AOE of the place long enough to do the serpentine, she fired in all the places on where to do it.

but as she fired all her cannons she saw the REQUIEM stopping the moment the missiles and fangs were launched. deactivating the thrust drive afterburners in his back, he stood still for a moment then he immediately activated it again and revved it up to its max power. with the missiles targeting to only the place to where to do the serpentine move can be done.

with satsuki firing all her missiles and fangs on the side, she realized a very straight opening leading to herself.

"what the-no way."

"how can i be so blind. he used the 2 thrust drive afterburners to do a short version of the serpentine i did. thinking that i would fire all my fangs at the side ,he stopped in the middle of it all and i in my own damn fault...left an opening wide enough for him to attack me head on."

with that being done Aoi then dashes towards her with all the missiles just exploding at the side.

"just keep it steady...steady...stead-nghhhh!"

"c'mon just a little more."

seeing Aoi heading for her. she tries to fire the plasma cannon at him but it had no more ammo. then she orders all her fangs to attack him but as she did it did not work because all the missiles damaged the command system of it. with mere inches from herself she launches the missiles left but only one came out. as the missile aims towards Aoi. Aoi threw his sword at it and it collided.

"I'm not gonna let anything destroy the flight pattern."

making that move he was left with no weapon. seeing him throw off his sword at the missile she thought that he was left with nothing to attack. then she retracts back her arm blades. but as she did the REQUIEM already got to her. attempting to attack him she was suddenly kicked in the abdomen again by a great power of force. getting kicked with a huge amount of power she looked down and saw the REQUIEM's left leg pressing against her abdomen using its thrust drive afterburner to increase in power. Aoi doing that he tossed her back, tumbling down the ground. with that being done the DIVINE RETRIBUTION's power and shield dropped down to 0%.

with no energy left ,her AS stopped functioning. then the horn was blown. hearing the blow of the horn she couldn't believe it, that she lost. as the battle was over both pilots got out of their AS. stepping down from their AS satsuki heads towards him.

"congratulations Aoi Kakuzaki you've passed the exam. you've shown that you have the skills of an AS pilot."

then as she shakes his hand everyone applauded in the stadium.

being surrounded by a loud noise of people cheering he felt at ease.

"thank you very much, teacher. i am very much honored to be."

being respected back she flatters him

"i was mostly impressed by the way you fought earlier."

" to be frank that last trick was pretty great, though. the way you used the serpentine against me to create an opening towards myself and how you used your disadvantage to become your advantage."

"the way i see it, you take risk even though it's up against the odds and i commend you for it. "

hearing all that Aoi explained everything.

"oh that...well, for the record i was just about to follow your style but seeing as though you launched the missiles and fired at the sides you gave me an opening big enough for me to take the last hit. and the thrust drive knee kick in the abdomen i accidentally activated the afterburners in the left leg and boosted towards you."

"so to put in retrospect i would have lost if you havent recklessly attacked me without thinking."

with those words uttered she somehow heard it really familiar. thinking for a moment she finally got it.

"wait...i said that to you."

then she looks at him with a surprised look.

"yeah, and i thank you for it."

looking at satsuki he bowed and smiled at her. seeing him respecting and smiling her, she starts to feel flattered and embarrassed.

"what is this. somethings not right and whats up with him smiling. no no no it can't be maybe its just anxiety kicking in from the exam-yeah maybe that's it"

said in her mind.

seeing satsuki looking wierd he got worried

"ummm...are you okay...uhhh"

hearing him she got back in her conscious state of mind and gave him her name.

"uhhhh...sorry, the name is satsuki, satsuki satoumi"

"good morning ms. satsuki. the name is Aoi kakuzaki. nice to meet you."

saying both their introductions shizuka went to down to them. reaching them she gave an applause for them both.

"well that certainly was a great fight don't you think? since you're the only person that she has lost too."

hearing that Aoi was surprised.

"really?!"

"don't make a big deal out of it. this was just an entrance exam. not an real battle. if it was then you'll surely lose. you got that, newbie."

with that Aoi just kept silent and didn't do any comeback on her.

"anyway...ive got enough information to settle all of it and enough proof that this model works perfectly, thanks to the both of you. and you Aoi got your one last requirement to complete your enrollment."

with shizuka saying that satsuki tells Aoi all he needs to do after everything.

"okay now, make sure you pack your things and here's the number for you dorm room and don't forget to put your AS in the cartridge chamber along with the other AS."

acquiring his dorm room key and number he says farewell to the both of them and started to do just what he's asked.

"okay"

moments later as everyone left already the arena and Aoi has done putting the REQUIEM at the cartridge chamber he went the boys dorm and searched for his the room he unloaded everything and prepared for the next day of school.

as the afternoon started to fall before the academy. satsuki meets up with shizuka by the bridge.

"so that was the lost model eh? all those days you were busy trying to bring that thing from the ground up."

"yes , it wasnt all a waste. i got to dig it out and found more of what its capable of and hear this. Aoi kakuzaki , the student you fought earlier,is the only one capable of activating it."

explaining the whole thing to her she gave a precaution to her.

"you better keep safe of yourself. with you being involved with that AS, no one has ever got hands of, we don't know if THEY would attempt to take it one way or the other. to make things worse with you bringing that up here the whole school could be in danger."

hearing that precaution from satsuki she gave a silent agreement to her.

"i promise i wont let it happen."

"does anyone know of that things whereabouts."

"none, so far."

"good if it is then its all your fault if it does happen."

then satsuki changed the topic.

"still cant believe, though. that i lost for the first time to a student. . not only that he even used a dug up piece of crap- "

"-that had proven itself far more stronger than a normal AS. even so you."

" since we don't know how it will react to other MORE AS . I'll be back in a few days for... sentimental reasons, okay?"

"yeah you go do that. while i go and do more work."

with satsuki saying that she starts to head out to the faculty. heading to her workstation shizuka goes in to her limo. but before she could she gave satsuki a piece of her word for earlier.

"ohhhh...and satsuki"

hearing that she stopped.

"what is it?"

"the face that you showed earlier... you still have a chance at him"

stopping to hear what shizuka had to say she starts to glow red and blush.

"w-w-what are you t-t-talking about?!"

stepping into her limo shizuka waves her hand at her.

"bye."
