A Month After The Battle:
"And just like that, Kuoh Academy has shown that they are here for business. It's only half-time and already, their striker/ captain has already scored 2 goals! Can this be the birth of the new Japan Girls High School Soccer National Champions?! Who knows, but I tell you, if they keep that energy during the second half, they will make it to the round of sixteen!" The announcer exclaimed gleefully, the crowd of Kuoh students cheering loudly with him as the crowd and team from Yamazaki Girls High were quiet.
I just cheered as loud as I could, the team and the crowd of students and mothers giggling at my eccentrics.
"That's my team! Who's the best?!"
"Kuoh!" The team shouted, but I just grinned.
"I said who?!"
"KUOH!" This time, the announcer and Kuoh crowd shouted with them.
"That's right!" I exclaimed with a happy cheer, the crowd cheering with me.
"Now then, how do you girls feel about the new formation?" I asked with a smile and they all grinned.
"Yamada definitely belongs in the striker position." Were Yusada's words, the former centre back now centre forward blushing slightly as the whole team nodded in unison at Yusada's words
"See? I told you. You have the skill for the striker position, but you don't have that ego in you to take it in your grasp. Now, I have a new move to showcase the true brilliance of the team and this move has Yamada and Yusada as the centre. Remember the bicycle kick?" Both girls nodded before the dots connected as I gave them a knowing grin, which the entire team reciprocated.
44 Minutes Later:
"And here we are, in the final minute of the match! Yamazaki seem to have adapted a full defensive formation so as to not suffer the same 5-1 crushing defeat that Matzukoi suffered! Oh, but it seems that's all in vain as Shigiru just stole the ball and is now running for Yamazaki's box!" Shigiru, our right winger, was sprinting along the right side of the field, dribbling and stopping at random intervals to confuse the other team.
As soon as she got to the right corner, she abruptly stopped, the defender skidding past her as she dribbled towards the box. A cross had the ball travelling fast through the air and to just outside the box in front of the goal. Yamada trapped the pass with ease before she backheeled it, into the grasp of Yusada as Yamada sprinted to the right of the box and Yusada to the left.
I still can't believe how graceful Yusada was with her dribbles, getting past the two centre backs and the left back before she hit a curling cross towards the right. The ball sliced through the air in an arc over the heads of those trying to cross it before team of Yamazaki finally saw their impending doom.
Yamada was waiting for the ball at the right side where she was completely alone, most of the defenders still covering Yusada from scoring and only one midfielder rushing to tackle Yamada.
That was a mistake.
With a powerful step, Yamada made to score and as the midfielder jumped in front of her shot, she grinned as she kicked the underside of the ball, adding a backwards spin on it and making it float in the air as the midfielder skidded away. Everyone stared in shock as Yamada pulled her leg back and faster than most of them could react, she kicked it hard.
The ball curled with a passion as it just barely made it into the top-left corner, the goalie trying and failing to stop it.
"…Oh my gods." Were the whispered words of the announcer as Yamada fell to the ground, grinning widely as she quickly jumped to her feet with a cheer.
"That's how we do it in Kuoh!" I shouted/ cheered with a grin and a double thumbs-up, breaking the dam as the Kuoh crowd shouted gleefully just as the ref blew the final whistle.
"And Kuoh goes through to the round of 16! Kuoh Academy has shown that Yagami Yusada is not the only trump card hidden in their deck as Tsukauchi Yamada just pulled off the sickest two-stage fake volley seen in Female High School Sporting History!" I just chuckled at the announcer's words before yelping as the team crowded around me, pulling me into a group hug with them.
"Thanks for the hug, but…Too tight!" I gasped out and they quickly pulled away as I exaggerated the gulps of air I took before I grinned as I stared at Yamada.
"So?" I asked with a smirk, to which she giggled.
"It was fun!" Was all she said and I just chuckled.
"Theo!" I heard Kunou's voice shout before I felt someone jumping onto my back, their arms wrapping around my neck and their legs around my waist. I just turned my head and looked over my right shoulder to see the happy smile on Kunou's face as she and the team giggled.
"Heyo!" I said with a smile before I saw Yasaka and Rossweisse approaching us.
"I didn't know you two were going to come."
"As teachers and soccer-!"
"Football!" I, as well as Yusada and Yamada, corrected with smirks, making Yasaka sigh.
"As teachers of Kuoh Academy and FOOTBALL fans, we wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Since when are you two football fans?" I asked with a smirk as Kunou climbed onto my neck, sitting on my shoulders as we both stared at the two of them.
"Since the first game. That and Rossweisse had read everything to know about it." I raised an eyebrow before turning to Rossweisse, who was blushing a bit before I chuckled.
"Well, that's good to hear. Now then, team! No training tomorrow or the day after! We'll start training two days from now! Yusada, Yamada, we're working on that little combo of yours. We might even be able to create a few new formations from them." I muttered under my breath as the team nodded before I grinned.
"Now, with all that said, go and celebrate!" They all cheered before rushing to their friends, talking excitedly amongst each other as I chuckled.
"Now then, I do believe you promised Kunou a chocolate sundae after every game." Kunou nodded at her mother's words as I grinned.
"Sure, but let's try to not have another 14 sundae overload again." I said/ pleaded with Kunou, who just gave me a mischievous grin as I sighed.
I'm starting to think she just likes being carried by me.
The Next Day:
Afternoon:
Finally, the day is over. It was the final period of the day and I had the displeasure of dealing with horny 17/18 year old girls as they had to do rugby for their second practical exam.
Teaching them is fun and all, but having to show them the proper way to tackle while keeping their wandering hands away from places they shouldn't be…
Yeah, that was exhausting.
"Um, sensei?" I heard familiar voices and turned to see Rias, Sona(or Souna, if we're using her fake name), Akeno and Tsubaki waiting for me. The sweat-stained white shirt and the blue bloomers outlined every single one of their voluptuous curves and was a devastating combo for any man… that was not Theodore Richards, the son of Poseidon!
I noticed the few girls staying behind to try and listen in before they flushed slightly as they saw me staring at them. Waiting for everyone to leave, I then turned to stare at the four girls.
"Yes?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, trying to figure out what they wanted from me.
"Um…I would like to apologize for my actions and words during the meeting. It was inconsiderate of me to ask of Lady Yasaka to let me make her daughter my servant without at first consulting Lady Yasaka about it. Furthermore, I should have just taken the no and not pursued the matter further, as my family has made it known to me that my actions were immature and rude." She even bowed at the end of it, her friends bowing with her and purposefully trying to distract me by pressing their boobs together.
…You know, if I was just a normal, average human, that apology would have been more than enough for me to forgive her.
Unfortunately, a normal human…I am not.
Also, Yasaka's are bigger, so why would I try and settle for less?
"As well-thought out and considerate that apology was, I'm afraid I'll have to decline it." I said with a smirk, all four looking up at me in shock as I raised my hands slightly.
"Your apology is appreciated, but unfortunately, I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. Yasaka is. Why don't you girls go and apologize to her? She should be waiting at our car." I said with a smile and they walked away. I went to quickly pick up the rugby balls and tags before I went to the storage shed and put everything away, locking the door behind me before putting the key inside my pocket dimension.
Whistling as I walked towards the car, I was just in time to see the girls walking towards a miffed Yasaka, a frowning Rossweisse and a slightly scared Kunou, who was hiding behind her mother.
"What do you want?" She all but growled out, Rias scared to begin speaking before I sighed.
"Calm, Yasaka." I said as I got closer, putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her down as I smiled down at Kunou, calming her down too as she held my left hand in a tight grasp.
"Here what they have to say and then say what you want." I said and she just glared at me before huffing, turning to the nervous girls.
"Speak before I decide to rip your heart out." Were Yasaka's cold words and I just sighed as I rubbed her shoulder, making her give me a subtle pout as I just smirked.
"Fine. Tell me what you want." Were her grumbled words and I nodded as I smiled at the four girls.
"W-We would like to apologise for all our words and actions during the meeting. It has been made aware to us that our words and actions were immature and rude and that we should not have asked your daughter if she wanted to become a Devil without your permission. Can you find it in your caring heart to please forgive us for your actions?"
"Apology denied. Firstly, it was not 'our' or 'we', Gremory. You were the only one who tried to recruit us, not the Sitri. Your friend is innocent, so do not try to pin the blame on both of you. Secondly, do not dare think that a simple apology will be enough to appease me. I'm not a Devil under your brother's rule and therefore, I have no reason to fear his or your father's wrath. Read up on Japanese culture and figure out how to do a proper apology. Finally, until you have that proper apology, stay away from both me and my daughter outside of school." And with that said, she climbed into the car, Kunou and Rossweisse climbing in with her in the backseats as I just sighed while staring at the blue sky.
'I can just feel you laughing, Uncle Zeus.' As if in response, I saw the clouds forming the distinct shape of a middle finger before I looked back at the girls.
"Well, you have your response. I'd say give her a bit more time and you girls can try again." Leaving the shell-shocked Rias, the amused Tsubaki and Akeno and the exasperated Sona standing there, I walked around and climbed into the driver seat, Yasaka and Kunou pouting and glaring cutely at me as Rossweisse giggled at my exhausted head shake.
"Chocolate and Vanilla Swirl with Chocolate flakes and wavers?" I asked and both nodded.
"Four scoops with extra flakes." Was Yasaka's response.
"Six scoops with extra flakes and four wavers." Was Kunou's response and I just raised an eyebrow before nodding, pulling out of the parking lot before driving out and away from the school.
Wonder what Kunou's so mad about.
Later that Day, Kuoh Academy:
ORC Classroom:
3rd Person POV:
"How did the plan not work?" Was Rias' muttered words for the umpteenth time, pacing back and forth as Sona just rolled her eyes and Akeno and Tsubaki looked on in amusement.
"Maybe because your plan reeked of naivety and idiocy. Also, don't drag me into your idiotic apologies, because I didn't do anything to warrant them being mad at me." Were Sona's words, drawing a gasp from Rias. She turned to glare at her childhood friend, only for that glare to wane slightly as she saw the death stare her friend gave her.
"B-B-But the plan was foolproof! That's usually all it takes for someone to forgive me."
'Mostly because you've only dealt with devils and if they don't forgive you, your father and brother will sue and destroy their house for every cent they had, because they do not see the 'radiant and innocent beauty that is Rias'.' Sona didn't say that out loud. Rias would deny her words until her death, but everyone knew if you say no to Rias Gremory, Sirzechs Lucifer will be on your ass faster than you could blink.
"Next time, let me do the planning and strategy. You just focus on looking pretty. That's one of your best strong point apart from being a loose cannon." Sona said, Rias not even trying to stop her as she knew the girl was the better strategist between the two of them. That, however, didn't stop her from pouting childishly as Sona sighed and stood up.
"I'm being serious, Rias. Do not approach the four of them for a while in private under any circumstances or ask others to spy on them for you. Yasaka is still not calm after what you did and we need her as calm as possible for my plan to work." Rias just grumbled and nodded, making Sona sigh as Tsubaki walked to stand at her side. A dark blue magical crest with the sigil of House Sitri appeared under them as Souna caught the mischievous glint in Rias' eyes before turning to Akeno.
"Make sure she doesn't do anything idiotic before I figure out the plan."
"Of course." Were Akeno's innocent words as Sona just nodded before she and Tsubaki disappeared in a flash of bright blue.
"…You wouldn't do anything, right?" Rias asked with a hesitant smile only to yelp as a spark of electricity snake through the air and spanked her. Akeno was smiling innocently, but the sadistic glint in her eyes and her sparking right hand told a different story.
'…I need better friends.' Rias grumbled as she walked to her desk, sitting down behind it and beginning with her paperwork as Akeno giggled before she walked out to prepare some tea as well as something to eat.
After all, naughty girls get spankings and good girls get treats.
A/N: And we're back into the slice of life part of the story. Yeah, I'm really aching for a fight, but I need to continue writing out this story's timeline before I can truly start the arc.
If anyone wants to know, this arc's name is Tradition vs Ideals( Still trying to figure out a way to incorporate it into the story.)
Anyway, as always, leave your reviews and I'll see you all in the next one.
Until then…Ba-Bye~!
