Their bodies failed to keep up with the training and education. Rin having been the only survivor out of 200 kids due to his extra-ordinary talents managed to graduate from the facility at the age of 14, but still remained in facility to surpass human limits till the age of 18 and later decided to fulfil his role as a older brother by moving to Japan.

His smarter and stronger than Kiyo.(Kiyotaka is still the same monster but he's still not yet on par with his brother).His good at commucating with people but he does indulge in small and useless talk.

Author's note

Important notes

Rin enrols as a second year and around this time Elder Horikita is still Student Council President with a few months left before graduation.

Rin's class will be revealed in the story.

Nagumo is Vice President

First year classes are still the same in terms of ranking and students.

Professor Ayanokouji has no idea Rin has enroled in the same school as Kiyo.

Since Rin is enrolling without following the right procedure Chairman Sakayanagi has allowed him to enrol with the condition of Rin having to join a club or getting a part time job in the school.

Rin is the only Arisu has come acknowledge as a genuis and she still sees Kiyo as a false genuis.

Prologue

Rin POV

"There is no such thing as a bad childhood memory in my life, because I had a brother who always saved me."

To say say such a line knowing the type of childhood conditions I grew up under. Huh I guess brotherly love is just quite powerful ey. To think I'd be seeing you this soon although the place our little reunion will take place seems a bit off. Advance Nurturing High School(ANHS) a school using the S system, class rankings and class hierachy, unique exams and the word "expulsion" seems to be a everyday word in the school.

I guess for now all that does not matter, my main purpose is to protect Kiyo's freedom as I've failed to be a older brother back then now that the chance has arise I shall protect his hard earned freedom. Although I'm looking forward to many things I've missed in my childhood, this could be a great time for me to experience them. Now with the help of my buddy Google let me research on what brothers do, for some reason this feels like I'm researching on what pickup line to use on a girl. I let out a chuckle. Kiyo although you were not with me but your presence was always there in my heart.

Mhmm looks like the plane is landing.

The time has come

KIYOTAKA.

Note: Kiyotaka in this story has brotherly love for Rin, he's just not good with having feelings for people besides him.

Chapter 1

Meanwhile in Class 1D

Kiyotaka Pov

I've been here for about 7 months now and during those months a lot has happened from my pity introduction to the island exam, sports festival, meeting that man and dealing with Ryuuen. But my biggest concern for now is what will that man do. I let out a heavy sigh which caught my neighbor's attention.

Horikita: What's the matter Ayanokouji-kun, you seem like you've been thinking deep.

Ayanokouji: Its nothing I'm just thinking on what exam the school has for us.

Horikita: That's not something you'd say but its good to see you taking the school seriously.

Ayanokoji: Yeah I guess.

Just like that our little talk ended. Back to the topic as much as I hate having to deal with that man, protecting my freedom does not sound bad after all. I mean I've got a girlfriend now ,friends like Horikita, Hyori and Ichnose, I also have my own group the "Ayanokouji Group"

I guess leaving that place was not bad after all, even though I've got all that something still feels empty. Its been a long time since I last saw him. Rin. The only guy to stand above me, he taught me how to play a piano and told me I should spread my wings and fly(freedom) if it wasn't for his advice I would still be in that place. Now I wonder what's he doing. I escaped that place to live peaceful life and be with my brother but neither of those things have I achieved, quite a sad story. With that man knowing I'm here nothing good will come of it. Is a 3 year peaceful life hard to ask for.

While in my thoughts the bell rang for after school and I headed to the mall with the 'Ayanokouji Group'. We decided to have coffee and have a check up. Kesei spoke first.

Keisei : I'm glad no exam was annouced today.

Akito : Yeah, its been long since we could lay back.

Airi Just nods

Haruka: Arghh Keisei

Airi : What's wrong Haruka?

Akito: Yeah, what's up?

Keisei tried saying something but was cut off by Haruka.

Haruka: Keisei you always talking about school...

you so boring talk about something else

Keisei: I'm not boring and besides there's nothing to talk about.

Haruka: There is, talk about teenage stuff.

Right Kiyopon.

Kiyo: mhm , yeah that.

Airi: Kiyotaka you seem lost in thought

Akito: He's been like that since class.

It looks like Akito was watching me during class.

Kiyotaka: No, its nothing

Keisei: What do you mean" teenage stuff"?

Looks like Keisei decided to change the topic. Thanks Keisei

Haruka: Like your crush, what type of person you like and stuff.

Airi let out a blush when Haruka said that.

Airi: Person you-li-ke

Haruka: Yeah

Keisei; Those type of talks are useless.

Haruka: Hehe looks like you have crush Keisei, are you trying to run away from the topic.

Haruka took out a odd lookiing smirk.

Good luck Keisei and with that Haruka and Keisei started arguing.

I noticed Akito has been starring at me from time to time. I will ask him about it later.

Rin POV

I just arrived to ANHS with a car organised by Chairman Sakayanagi, just as expected this school is quite extraordinary. Fast forward I'm currently in the Chairman"s office.

Chairman: So Rin seems like you've arrived well. I'm glad to see you, wish i could hug you.

Rin: Its good to see you too, a handshake would be okay for now.

Chairman: How's it feel to be back to your homeland.

Rin: I can't say much, I just got here.

(Author's note: Rin has some personality attributes as his brother Kiyo)

Chairman let out a smile.

Chairman: Still the same and now back to business, have you read the conditions of you enrolling here?

As if switching from day to night Chairman Sakayanagi got to the main topic.

Rin: Yeah, before that I'd first want to look at which club or job I will find interesting ,so within a week you will get my answer.

Chairman Sakayanagi : Sorry for having you go through this, its just I can't have people suspect me for having a student enrol here without going the legal process.

Rin: Its okay I understand.

Chairman Sakayanagi :Great, so what class do you plan on joining?

Rin Class A will make my enrolment stand out so I'd take Class B.

Chairman Sakayanagi: Its not bad choice so B it is?

Rin: Yeah so how's he been doing.

By he I mean by brother Kiyotaka.

Chairman Sakayanagi: He's okay although his class is not at its best right now , the Class is good for him to live a peaceful life.

Rin: I see.

Chairman Sakayanagi: Since you've got no dorm I will assign you to live in one of the dorms in the teacher section.

Hehe that does not sound bad after all.

Rin; I accept.

He then hands my student ID.

Chairman Sakayanagi: For now that's it we will finish our talk tomorrow with your brother. Arisu will be happy to see you tomorrow.

Rin: Ooh my Loli I will make time to see her.

Chairman Sakayanagi: Goodluck with your Class tomorrow.

Rin: Thank you.

I bow then head out of the office.

Before heading to my special dorm I decide to take a detour to Kiyo's dorm. Thanks to the Chairman it was quite easy to find his dorm. I'm really glad I did not come across any student.

I found his room and decided to wait outside.

Kiyotaka POV

After spending time with the Ayanokouji Group.I tried talking to Akito privately but he had a club meeting so we pushed it for later .I decide to take walk around the garden and think of the short memories I had with my brother.

After about ten minutes I decide to head to my room, Kei will be coming over at eight so I still had time to rest. I walked into the elevator as it went to my floor the door open and there I saw...

Ren POV

Ren: Yo Kiyo, it's been a minute.

Kiyo:Eh...

A uthor's note: Kiyo might be a bit off character due to the way the plot might head.

Sorry for not including images , I will include pictures starting from the next chapter onwards.

Thank you for reading

Chapter 2: The Reunion

"We might not always see eye to eye but our hearts will always be connected"

Kiyo POV

As the elevator doors opened. I look up at the direction of my door and there I saw a tall guy with hair colour similar to Ryuuen's. I walked towards the person and once I got 2 more footsteps away from him, he looked in my direction. How's this possible its him. He broke the silence with what he said next "Yo, its been a minute" at that moment my brain failed to come up with something to say and i ended up saying "Eh". I was surprise to the point were I couldn't say something or do something its like I froze. We just stared at each other for about five minutes and he decided to smile, his smile was no ordinary smile this was a smile that could steal hearts. He then broke the silence.

(Picture above not mine)

'Aren't you going to give your brother a hug or something?'

Hug? I haven't seen him in more than 10 years and that was the last time I hugged someone before my confession session with Kei. I decided to take up his hug offer and approached him with my arms awkwardly open but as I got closed to him for a hug it happened...

Rin POV

KIyo was coming in for a hug but then I quickly locked him into a light arm choke hold(Sleeper hold) while doing that i started rubbing his hair causing him to drop his bag on the floor . Although he found it unpleasent but it helped lighten the mood in the atmosphere a bit and with that I let him go.

'What was that for?'

he asked while picking up his bag from the floor.

'You kept staring at me without even trying to greet your older brother.'

'Sorry I was just surprised by your sudden appearence and I was still trying to confirm its you.'

'I see.'

'How long have you been here?'

He sounded concerned

'For about 15 minutes and don't worry you the first student I've come across.'

Our reunion was not really emotional, which felt sad. Just how much emotion did that place take from you. Kiyo then walked towards his door and unlocked it.

'Welcome to my room' he said. I picked up my bags and walked in.

The room was very clean but for someone his age it lacked personality.

'Your room is kinda empty'

'I get that alot, I actually wanted to add funiture and stuff but I just couldn't figure out on where to start and my class has been struggling with points this past months so saving points is efficient right now.

'Seems like your class struggle with figuring out the system .'

'Yeah but they've managed to gain back some ground so a good change in overall points is starting to show.

'I see'

We then sat down around a table, I sat on the other side of the table while he sat opposite me. Silence fell in the room we kept staring at each other while drinking coffee. His face had a weird expression...

Kiyo POV

Staring at my brother brought back the short memories we shared. I realised my face had some expression that I had not noticed. Rin then burst into laughter was it because of my face.

'Is that your way of smiling?'
(I tried posting a picture of Kiyo smiling here but it failed to load on Wattpad.)
he asked.

Seems like I was trying to smile although I struggled with facial expressions, I found this moment emotional to a point that a smile developed on my face. Just how strong is my love for my brother.

'I'm trying you know.'

'it's okay, we will work on it later. I will give you tips on how to express yourself.'

I hope to smile the way my brother does.

Rin POV

'How's the outside world?'

I asked

'Its okay but I still have many things I plan on trying out.'

Sounds like he's enjoying it. I really have to protect him.

I thought.

'I see and...'

Kiyo cut me off as he said something.

'I love ice cream'

he said.

ICE CREAM? What's that I thought, it sounded like food.

For him to cut me off to say that means that he really liked it.

'Sorry for cutting you off '

he said with a light head bow.

Why is he bowing. Is it some norm here in Japan ?

I should really learn more about Japan, I don't want to do something that people this side find disrespectful.

( Author's Note: Just a reminder Rin is Japanese but he did not grow up in Japan so he does not know about senpai, the name calling basis and more. I do not understand how to use the kun, san, sama and more. If you know could you please explain in the comments cause I plan on including it in the story. Thanks.)

'Its okay, I'd love to taste this ICE CREAM thing.'

'Yeah, this weekend would be a great opportunity.'

Going out, I see. Its sooner than I expected.

'Sounds good'

I replied.

We then spoke about how his life changed over the few months he has been here. From his pity introduction, failing to make friends. making his first friend, island exam, sports festival, his little brawl with the student council president, dealing with Ryuuen and meeting dad.

That's a lot considering how long he has been here.

'Quite a rocky life'

I said.

'There's actually more.'

MORE? I thought.

'I'm listening'

'My homeroom teacher tried threatening me by using dad's name and I was threatened by one of the most popular girl in our school and she made me...'

He took a heavy sigh before carrying on.

'She made me touch her breasts'

He explained the situation regarding the girl but the word BREAST echoed in my head.

'Hehe Kiyo 2 months in and you found yourself playing with " BOOBS".

I said with a smirk .

Kiyo had a confused look on his face. Did he not know 'boobs'.

' I wasn't playing and what's "boobs"?

he asked

'Boobs its another word for beautiful woman.'

I answered with a straight face. Tricking him a little wouldn't hurt after all that's what big brothers do to their young brothers.

I then decided to switch onto the serious matters.

'So dad found you '

'Yeah, he wants me to drop out but I refused so he plans on using forceful measures to get me out. Is a peaceful life too much to ask for?

Kiyo was hurting inside. I went to his side and gave him a hug.

'It will be okay I've come to protect and be with you. As your older brother you can depend on me for anything I will be the light to your darkness.'

'Thanks bro'

We spoke about how things will change with dad knowing where his master piece is hiding. With that our discussion about our dad came to a close.

'Looking at what you've told me about your experience here, most of them are all troublesome matters, didn't anything normal happen ?'

I wondered cause most of the things he shared were problems.

'I have a friend group called the Ayanokouji Group .'

'That's good and can I assume you the leader?'

' Somehow yes, oh I have a girlfriend too.'

YES!YES!YES! YES!YES!

Now thisis something every older brother would want to hear.

I let out a smile.

'What's her name?'

'Kei Karuizawa'

He then told me about how they met, her past and what they went through together(from him touching her panties during the island exams to the Ryuuen situation) and how she was talkative.

Eh. For someone who knows a little about the opposite gender, he has experience interesting things with them. What really stood out to me was while he was telling me about Kei he was smiling. This Kei girl has managed to add some emotion in Kiyotaka's heart. It made me happy to witness this.

'Kei from what you've said she seems interesting, could you show me her picture?'

He showed me.

(I don not own the above picture)

'She's pretty, I'd love to meet her.'

'I'd want that... Ooh no'

Kiyo said while banging his temple with his hand.

'What's up?'

I asked

'Kei is coming in 1o minutes and I'm out of coffee and tea'

He said. standing up and changing into his casual wear.

'I guess we will finish our talk later. I will be leaving then.'

I was about to stand up but Kiyo stopped me.
'No don't leave this is a great opportunity for you to meet her.'

I tried to oppose the idea but Kiyo rushed towards the door and before he left he said.

'I will be back.'

Huh?

I guess I will wait then. After about 5 minutes I heard a knock on the door I headed towards the door to open it but then I was a bit relucant cause the knock had some sort of pattern to it ,it sounded like some secret code. I shaked my head and rub out those thoughts. I unlocked door and there I saw a very pretty girl in casual clothes staring at me, she was young and had a familar face, it was my in-law.

Kei POV

Coming to Kiyotaka's place is always troublesome but I like it. I quickly got out of the elevator and headed towards his door. We had come up with a unique knock pattern so he could know I was the one knocking. Why is he taking time to open the door is he trying to get people to see me. Our relationship is still a secret, open up Kiyotaka I yelled in my head. After a while the door opened and it wasn't Kiyotaka standing in front of me. It was a tall guy with hair similar to Ryuuen and looking at his face which had a smile he was very handsome no pretty I couldn't find words to say and he looked like he was a third year. I just kept staring at him.

Why is he in my boyfriend's room, is he a friend of Kiyotaka or maybe this is the wrong room. I managed to get a look of the room inside and noticed it was my boyfriend's room but why is this person here. My thoughts were cut off as the senpai spoke...

'Hey Kei'
(Author's Note: Thank you for reading. I have request to make if you know or have gifs or links on Kei please share them in the comments cause i'm planning on using them in the next chapter)

Next Chapter: Rin meets his in-law. Night before my first day of school.

Ciao.

Chapter 3: In-law

"Because I have a brother, I will always have a friend."

Kei POV

'Hey Kei' it kept echoing in my head. Wait how does he know my name? What's happening now I can't even open my mouth. I tried saying something.

"H..."

Why am I stammering. He kept staring at me while I was trying to escape his gaze but then I heard the elevator approaching our floor, oh no someone will see me. The elevator then stopped on our floor and the doors were about to open. Kiyotaka where are you, what should do? I thought.

The elevator doors started opening , my body then acted on instinct and with that I quickly ran inside the room, I managed to force my body through the gap I found between the senpai and the door. I was suprised that the senpai did not try stopping me or blocking my path. I then looked around the room this was Kiyotaka's room, the senpai closed the door and went to seat on the other side of the table. He let out a light laugh maybe it was because of my running scene. He then spoke.

"If you waiting for Kiyo, he will back soon. In the meantime why don't you have a seat."

he said while smiling.

Kiyo? Did he mean Kiyotaka. I was a bit relucant at first but then went and sat on the other side of the table. We were now facing each other. What do I do?

"Hey Kei."

There he goes using my first name again. I can't keep ignoring him so I replied.

"Uhmmm hey senpai"

"Senpai?"

He said with a confused look.

Does he not know what it means? Now that I think about he looks Japanese but his Japanese sounds a bit different. Is he foreign maybe? I thought.

"Don't mind that, I'm Rin."

he said.

I haven't heard of anyone with that name in the school. Does he not have a second name? So it's Rin-senpai.

"I'm Karuizawa Kei"

I replied sounding a bit hestient.

"I'm so happy to meet you Kei."

Heh?? Does he know me. He then offers his hand for a handshake and I looked at his hand. I hestitated a bit before going in for a handshake.

We heard the door opening. It was Kiyotaka that walked in. Finally my boyfriend has arrived. I let out a sigh while touching my heart. Now I can calm down a little.

"Yo, you back already. did you manage to get the stuff?"

Rin-senpai asked Kiyotaka.

it looked like Kiyotaka went shopping.

"Yeah, the convenice store is usually empty around this time and I was running too."

Why are they talking like that, they sound close. Is he a friend to Kiyotaka?

"Hey Kei."

Kiyotaka said turning his attention towards me.

"Hey Kiyotaka."

I replied with a smile. I then stared at my boyfriend's eyes, through my gaze I asked 'who is he'.

It seems he understood what I meant. Kiyotaka then came towards where the senpai and I were seated.

"Kei, I have someone I'd like you to meet but it seems like you guys have already met."

No, I still don't know who he is. I thought.

Rin-senpai then spoke.

"Kiyo, you said she was talkative but she's being quiet."

Me talkative? What else did Kiyotaka say about me. I looked at Kiyotaka's eyes once again and sent a message with my gaze saying 'I will deal with you'

"Kei, meet Ayanokouji Rin his my older brother and he be will attending our school as a 2nd year ."

"BROTHER!!!!!"

I yelled, they both looked at me.

Kiyotaka has a brother he never told me anything about his family yet alone having a brother.

I have to calm down.

I looked at Ayanokouji-senpai.

"Nice to meet you "

I said while shaking his hand, He then smiled at me. Since his Kiyotaka's brother does that mean Kiyotaka will look similar to him when he gets to Ayanokouji senpai's age.I blushed just thinking about that.

"Kei?"

Kiyotaka called me.

"Yes"

"Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee."

I replied.

Kiyotaka headed towards the kitchen and returned with two cups of coffee one was his while the other cup was for me. He sat next to me, I noticed Kiyotaka had some joyful air around him tonight. I even thought I saw him smile, nehh it was probably just my imagination.

Ayanokouji-senpai then spoke. Calling him Ayanokouji-senpai felt weird for some reason.

"I guess it's time for me to get to know my in-law, now?"

he said with a evil smile on his face.

Wait. he just called me in-law...

( I do not own the above picture.)

Rin POV

After I said that I saw Kei's cheeks turn red. Kiyotaka noticed his girlfriend's face change, he then touched her forehead as if trying to check if she had a fever but it had a opposite effect Kei got even redder it was a great scene to witness. I let out a laugh.

After they both settled down, i said.

"Kiyo told me a lot about you, Kei."

Kei took a sip of her coffee before saying.

"What did he say? Ayanokouj-Senpai."

"You can call me Rin."

" Yes Ayano... Rin -Senpai."

"He told me about how you guys started dating, about your past and how you make him happy. He was evening smiling when he was telling me about you."

"He smiled?"

she asked

"Yes."

I said with a nod.

They then started starring at each other for a while.

"Young love."

I added.

Kei then picked up her coffee suprisingly Kiyo did the same too. Their actions were both in sync as they both drank their coffee.

While they were drinking I decided to tease them a bit.

"So when is the wedding?"

I asked with a straight face.

They both started coughing did the coffee go down the wrong pipe.

I thought.

"WEDDING"

yelled Kei.

"Calm down, people will hear you."

Kiyo was shocked too but he managed to get his girlfriend to quiet down.

We started taking about their relationship, why they keeping it a secret and how Kei sees Kiyo as boyfriend. We spent time talking about dating topics sometimes Kei was laughing or was getting angry at some of the things Kiyo was saying.

What Kiyo said next surprised both Kei and I.

"Kei, boobs."

he said with a smile,

Kei looked at me as if checking if her boyfreind really used the word. Kei then jumped on her boyfriend and started hitting Kiyo's head and chest.

"Baka, is that another thing you learnt from the internet."

she said.

It looks like Kiyo was a student of Internet sensei.

"But is it not a good wo..."

Kiyo failed to complete his sentence as Kei started giving him hand chops to the face.

( I do not own the picture.)
It was a cute scene to witness as a older brother. I decided to head to the kitchen while they did what they planned on doing.

I looked around the kitchen and managed to find some meat and ingrideints and started making a foreign dish.

Timeskip

Once I was done cooking I made some for Kei but placed it in a lunchbox for her cause it was now time for her to leave the boy's dorms due to the curfew. I gave her the lunchbox and Kei accepted it. Before she left I pushed Kiyo towards her and whispered 'hug her before she leaves'

which he did.

It was now Kiyo and I in the room. he was washing the cups and spoons we used and I helped him clean the table we used. It was now time for me to go to my new place. Kiyo and I then left his room and were headed for one of the teacher's and employee's residential building which I will be living in.

Looking at the map it was a bit of a walk from the 1st year dorms.

"So, since you living in the teacher's building, does that mean your place will look different compared to the student's place."

"Yes"

I replied with a smile.

"By the way Kiyo, why does Kei call me Rin-senpai?"

Kiyo then explained what it meant and explain that in Japan we call people by their second name but people close to you, you can call them with their first name but the person should give me permission to use their first name or not. I understood what he explained to me.

We arrived at the residential building from the outside it looked better than the student's dorms.

It even had a front desk worker, I showed her my student card and the permission letter I got from Chairman Sakayanagi, she said my apartment was number 202. Before we headed there she tried stopping Kiyo from coming in because students were not allowed in the building with me as a exception. But then I told her Kiyo was helping me with my bags and she let him through.

We now in the elevator heading for my floor...

Kiyo POV

Everything about this building was better than the student's dorms. The elevator stopped at Rin's floor and we walked out of the elevator. As we were looking for 202, I noticed the doors of the apartments not just had the number of the apartment but the name of the person living in the apartment in front of it as well. We then arrived at Rin's door but what surprised me was the were three doors with the numbers 201,202 and 203. Rin's place is 202 so he's apartment was in the middle but that was not what surprised me. What surprised was that the door with the number 201 had the name C.Hoshinomiya written on it while the door with 203 had the name S.Chabashira written on it and that name belonged to my homeroom teacher. Rin then asked.

"Kiyo, do have an idea on who this people are?"

he said while pointing at both doors.

" Unfortunately no."

I replied with a straight face. I just lied no this was payback for all that teasing he put me and Kei through today. I wished him luck on his future encounters with this two people. I thought.

We then walked into Rin's place. It was luxurous compared to the student's dorm. I wanted to stay longer but I have school tomorrow and I also didn't want to encounter his neighbours. We exchanged numbers and we then did a fist bump.

"I will see you tomorrow."
he said.

Rin POV

I watched Kiyo as he left and after that I went to my bedroom and I threw my body on the bed.

After 45 minutes I got up and looked at my uniform which Chairman Sakayanagi sent in earlier along with my books.

Not only do I get to be with my brother , I also get to experience high school life. Does that mean I might experience love outside of family. I started unpacking my bags , they was not really much to unpack ,It was actually a excuse cause I was too excited that I couldn't fall sleep.

'Class 2B' I thought.

I was preparing for school. I then read one of the books I brought with me from New York. I took a break and I went towards the window then opened my curtains. I saw the sun rising.Eh.

"It's morning already..."

(Author's Note: Thanks for reading.)

Next chapter: Rin's first day at school. Kiryuuin makes her appearence.

Chapter 4

"Never design your character like a garden were anyone can walk but design your character like the sky where everyone will desire to reach."

Rin POV

It's morning already, I failed to fall asleep last night. I did a few workout reps before heading to the shower. I was now putting on my uniform and decided to rock it the same way Kiyo rock's his. I walked out of my apartment and yet again I didn't see any of my neighbours.

'Maybe the left already.'

I thought.

I decided to take the stairs on my way out, I was now out of the building. I will postpone my meeting with Chairman Sakayanagi today cause I won't have time to meet him. I could not head to class just yet as I had to go to the teachers' staff room and meet my homeroom teacher as she will be the one to guide to my new classroom. While heading to the staff room I came across a few students mainly girls, they looked young probably around Kei's age, they kept starring at me while blushing, I decided to wave at them. One thing that stood out to me this morning was that the girls I've come across so far all had short skirts that exposed a large portion of their thighs.

"Such great scenery" I said to myself.

I ignored the thighs and carried on my journey to the staff room.

Third Person POV

While Rin was having a internal battle on resisting thighs and trying to find his way to the staff room. Around the same time at a different location at the school. A bench was occupied by a girl that was sitting in a relaxed posture for a school morning she was too relaxed. The girl occupying this bench was beautiful and had crimson eyes that could see through almost anything and she had long blond platnuim hair that made her beauty stand out even more. The girl sitting on this bench was Fuka Kiryuuin of 2B soon to be Rin's classmate.

Many 2nd year students walked past her, girls were interested in befriending Kiryuuin it's just that she was too beautiful and had a hard to handle personality so most of them decided not to approach her, while the guys they could not keep up with her attitude, excellent grades and great physical results, the guys all felt she was too excellent for them so they walked past her as well.

Kiryuuin's peaceful relaxing morning was interrupted when two 2nd year students from the student council decided to approach her. She was familiar with both these students as one of them was her classmate and class rep, Ikuto Kiryama while the other was a student from 2A and he was currently the student council vice president, Miyabi Nagumo.

They both stopped at the bench where Kiryuuin was sitting on, Kiryuuin noticed their pressence and decided to speak;

"Ahh, if it isn't the loyal dog and his master."

Nagumo smiled at the statement while Kiryama had a annoyed look on his face. Did he think he was the dog.

"What..."

"If you are getting mad, then it means that you are considering yourself as the loyal dog Kiryama, cause I don't remember mentioning who was who?"

"This woman's a real pain in the ass."

Kiryama said in a annoyed tone.

"My my looks like the class rep has a dirty mouth, did you not wash your mouth this morning? "

Kiryama could not handle Kiryuuin and said:

"Nagumo we are wasting our time with this woman let's carry on our walk."

"I will have to agree with the loyal dog this time. You guys are disturbing my precious morning."

"What who the hell do you think you are?"

"Kiryuuin can you please not mock my beloved student council member."

Nagumo said, as he decided to step into the conversation.

"Those words had no emotion behind them."

said Kiryuuin.

"Its probably just your imagination."

"I see so what does the student council vice president want from me this morning, I thought I'd never see you again considering how big you've become here at ANHS."

"If possible I do not want to stand here any longer than I have too."

After Nagumo said that he decided forcibly take a seat on the same bench as Kiryuuin, sitting right besides her and then carried on talking.

"You are beautiful Kiryuuin but charmless, and I do not have interest in charmless women."

"Charmless you say, don't make me laugh Nagumo."

As Kiryuuin said this she shifted her body towards the edge of the bench moving her body away from Nagumo. And added:

"You call me 'charmless' but to me it sounds like you making an excuse of failing to bring out the charm in me."

"So you telling me you've got charm."

"Yeah, I have charm and my charm has not yet appeared because I haven't met a guy capable of drawing it out."

(While Kiryuuin was saying that .On the other side of the school Rin let out a small sneeze.)

"If there's a man that can bring out your charming side I'd love to meet him."

said Nagumo in a sarcastic tone.

"Even your so called 'favorite senpai President Horikita failed."

"Haha I see."

"Putting that topic aside why aren't I popular?"

asked Kiryuuin.

"You have the looks and all its just that women with too high quality are just hard too deal with. Even I don't like that type either."

" If that's the case I will never be able to meet your standards."

"Hah, you know Kiryuuin you the only women in this school that speaks to me like that , even the third year girls don't talk to me the way you do."

As Nagumo was saying this he tried touching Kiryuuin's cheeks but she lightly slapped his hands away and said.

"Your cheap womenizing tricks won't work on me. You might be powerful Nagumo but you fail at satisfying me, you are just a still boy like Kiryama after all."

When Kiryama heard his name being insulted. he joined in.

"Oi oi don't talk about me like that."

Kiryuuin just laughed.

Nagumo realised this conversation was meaningless, he stood up getting ready to leave.

"Kiryama let's carry on with our walk."

Before they started walking Kiryama looked at Kiryuuin who was still relaxing on the bench and said:

"Don't be late for class , we don't want to lose class points because of you."

"Yeah, yeah."

said Kiryuuin.

Before they left Kiryuuin called out to both of them and said:

"I don't care how you guys will take what I'm about to say next..."

Nagumo and Kiryama both looked at each other then looked at Kiryuuin waiting to hear what she has to say next.

"The man that will bring out the charm in me and steal my heart will be no ordinary man and if I happen to meet this man here at Advanced Nurturing High School, Just know you two will be ants compared to him."

(And again Rin on the other side of the school let out another sneeze. this time he was sure that someone was definately talking about him.)

Hearing this Nagumo and Kiryama looked at each other before laughing as they thought what Kiryuuin said just now was delusional, and then they headed for the second year class building.

Kiryuuin on the other hand still relaxing on the bench looked up at the sky and let out a evil looking smile, because that moment she felt a godly aura coming from the school grounds.

Rin POV

I found the staff room but this time I did not see students around here, maybe it was already time for homeroom. I looked inside the staff room and saw that there were no teachers around except a person who I assumed was my homeroom teacher. I knocked on the door to get her attention as she was going through some documents. After knocked she looked towards the door and noticed my presence, she kept smiling while starring at me, I decided to brush it off and I told her I'm the new student. With that we were now heading towards my new classroom she was explaining some details about her class and the class points. She said her Class started as Class A during their first year but then dropped to B. Class A and Class B had a bit of a gap in terms of class points while Class C and D were far behind Class B they had no chance of catching up to Class B. So Class C and D had given up on trying to graduate from Class A, so their goal was now just trying to not graduate as the lowest ranking class.

We then stopped in front of a door that had a sign written 'Class 2B' above it. So behind this door was my new classroom. I could hear learners talking inside the classroom.

The teacher walked into the classroom, she told me to wait outside and I should come in when she gives me a cue. As she walked into the classroom the students quiet down.

"Good morning class."

"Good morning sensei."

They all said. I could hear chairs stratching on the floor that meant the students all stood up to greet the teacher.

"I see everyone is here. I have news to share with you..."

Sensei sentence was cut short by a male student's voice.

"Sensei, why is there a extra chair and table in our class?"

"Relax Kiryama, that's what I'm trying to address with you guys."

"Ooh sorry sensei."

Kiryama they were he spoke he sounded well mannered. I managed to pick up a female laugh although it was low toned. Was she laughing at Kiryama. Looks like the class ignored her laugh. Maybe it was the female student's everyday behaviour.

" Now as I was saying, the news I will be sharing is that today we will be having a new student joining our class."

The classroom went on a uproar.

Can she give me my cue already.

"Calm down everyone."

Students then bombarded the teacher with questions.

"Is it a girl?"

"Is it a guy?"

"Why is he joining the school as a 2nd year?"

"Quiet down everyone let's wait for sensei to finish explaining."

That voice belonged to Kiryama.

Everyone settled down.

"Thank you Kiryama."

said the teacher.

"Now as I was saying the new student joining our class is Japanese but he did not grow up Japan so please be lenitent on him about Japanese. "

"Yes sensei."

They all said.

"And girls good news it's a boy no a man."

she said while winking at the girls.

"Is he hot, sensei?"

One female student asked.

"Just wait and see, you can come in now."

That was my cue, the door was half opened so I opened it a bit more then walked in all eyes were directed at door. I walked into the classroom.

I noticed the classroom had more females than male students. I had sharp eyes so more thighs kept appearing in my view. Everyone was silent while looking at me as I walked towards the podium besides the teacher.

"Now introduce yourself to your new class mates."

said the teacher.

Facing the classroom I let out a smile.

"Hey, I'm Ayanokouji Rin, I'm from New York and my Japanese is not bad nor is it good. I look forward to learning with your guys, thank you."

Kiyo's name was not very popular with the second and third years only a few knew his name, so a lot of them won't know his my brother unless I told them.

I could hear whispers like 'he is handsome, look at that smile, he has a nice deep voice, his too good looking' coming from the girls while the guys were whispering 'he looks athletic and he's tall, we should get him to join our sports club, he might be a weapon for us to fight Class A.'

I then heard the students applauding , it then got louder. Were they excited? I thought

A male student then stood up and walked towards my direction and said.

"I'm Kiryama Ikuto, I'm your class rep and a member of the student council."

So this is Kiryama, I shook his hands. It was a firm handshake.

Then more students tried introducing themselves but sensei told them to wait for break time.

There goes my peaceful break time. I thought

"Now now don't forget we have a lesson, Rin your seat is the empty desk."

said Sensei.

I was now heading towards my desk many students kept starring at me the girls were waving at me as I walked past their desks. My desk was at the last row, the last row was occupied by one student including me, it will now be two students at the back row. My desk was right across the student's desk. I sat down and looked at my new neighbour she was starring at me as well while smiling.

My neighbour was a girl that had long platinum blond hair, she had sharp crimson eyes, looking at her face that had a interesting smile she was beautiful and had a cool look too. My eyes got a glimpse of her legs that were under the table. She had nice long legs ,my eyes then landed on her thighs, she had black tights covering up her legs and thighs, it gave off some sort of sexy vibe.

Both our gazes were locked on each other with a evil smile on both our faces. We couldn't talk cause Sensei was teaching so she then took a small paper and wrote something then passed it to me. I took it and read it. It had her name written on it.

Fuka Kiryuuin

(Thank you guys for reading.)

Next chapter: First friend, Rin's first female phone number and my first kouhai.

Chapter 5

" If our lives are written it would take a courageous man to change the script. "

Rin POV

The piece of paper had the name 'Fuka Kiryuuin' written on it, so that's her name. I folded the paper and put it inside my blazer pocket. I then winked at her before turning my attention to the lesson. During the lesson I noticed many of my classmates were sending stares at me. Today is gonna be a long day. I thought.

It was 5 minutes left before break. I knew my break wouldn't be peaceful as I would undergo many interviews and requests from my classmates but I decided to come up with a escape plan but first I sent a note to my neighbour, it had a location written on it. She read it and winked at me while smiling, I will take that as a yes. Time to put my plan into action.

I raised my hand and Sensei saw it.

"Yes Rin, do you have a question?"

Everyone looked at me when Sensei said it.

"Could I please be excused?"

I asked with a smile, my female classmates started whispering amongst themselves after I smiled.

"Although it will be break in 2 minutes, you may go."

Yes! I stood up and walked towards the door and exited the classroom. I could feel my classmate sending gazes at me while I was walking. I'm out, I decided to take a quick walk to the location I did not come across any student cause they still had a few minutes of class left.

The bell rang but I was already at the location I managed to escape my classmates. I was now standing at the centre of a abonded tennis court behind the school waiting for my guest. She arrived a few minutes after the bell rang, it was Fuka Kiryuuin.

She went and sat on a bench and said.

"Why are you standing, come and have a sit."

I took her offer and sat next to her.

She smelt good.

"I didn't think you'd come."

I said.

"I came cause I'm interested in you."

"Interested, there's nothing interesting about me."

"I'm sure you've noticed my extraordinary aura."

I nodded.

She then continued.

"I noticed yours too but yours is powerful and my intuition tellsme the man in front of me is no ordinary man."

"I think you just excited to see a new classmate"

"Haha, you could say that but the excitement you giving me is something I haven't felt before, so that makes you interesting already."

"I'm glad to hear that Fuka."

I used her first name on purpose.

A smile formed around her face.

"Look at that, you the only man worthy of using my first name Rin"

Seems like she's using my first name as well.

"You really say interesting things."

Judging the way Fuka speaks and carries herself I could tell she was extra ordinary and had confidence to back it up.

"So why are you in Class B a lady of your caliber does not belong in a average class."

"No matter what class i find myself in, it means nothing to me. I'm just here to enjoy the benefits that this school offers."

"Haha, I can tell you don't contribute to the class."

"You noticed that interesting, our class rep bothers me on contributing towards the class, but I'm already hot and smart, what more do I need to do to contribute to this class? If you ask me, I'm being very generous as it is. "

"I see."

"This moment was suppose to be about you telling me about yourself yet I'm the one telling you about just how amazing I am."

She said as she stood up.

"What is that you want to know about me?"

I asked, standing up and looking at her straight in the eye.

She really had pretty eyes.

She took a step towards me and I took a step towards her as well, we were both sending a smile towards each other. We were now standing close to each other that if she had to take one more step her chest would be touching mine.

She then raised her left hand as if trying to slap me but I stopped it by holding her left hand. A smiled formed around her face. She then whispered something into my ear.

"Looks like I've found my darlin."

Was she teasing me, she then turned around but before she could fully turn I found myself grabbing her hand and gently pulling her into chest, it was sort of like a hug. I was surprised she did not resist.

"You should cherish this, no girl hugs like I do."

I let out a smile and said.

"Will do."

The moment was cut short as my phone started ringing. It was little brother calling.

I answered the phone.

'Yo'

'Bro can we cancel our plans tonight, Kei and I have something to do and I have to meet up with the Ayanokouji group.'

'Its cool'

I replied.

'I will call you later.'

'Cool'

He cut the call. I looked over at Fuka who was now seated on the bench and I joined her. From there on she told me about herself and the class too. The bell rang and Fuka and I got to the class 5 minutes into the lesson. My classmates were starring at us.

"Sorry Sensei I got lost but ran into Fuka and she walked me to class."

Many students were shocked at something I said for some reason.

"Its okay you may go to your seats ."

We both headed towards our seats but Sensei then said something troublesome.

"Girls it looks like Kiryuuin is winning."

What did that mean I looked at Fuka's face and saw a evil smile had developed around her face.

I sat down and paid attention to the lesson. Everything they were teaching here I learnt about it when I was still young. The lessons went well without any disruptions.

Then Sensei said her final words.

"Thank you for today and see you guys on Monday."

She then exited the classroom.

After that my desk was surrounded by many of my classmates. They all kept asking questions at the same time till my hero Kiryama came to the rescue.

"Everyone calm down can we all speak to him properly."

"Thanks."

I said to Kiryama he had to leave after that cause he had some duties to attend too.

"I am..."

28 of my classmates introduced themselves to me, most of the guys left earlier than the girls cause most of them had club and sport activities.

The girls kept me in the classroom for another hour. Introducing themselves in more detail. I managed to remember all their names.

One male student then spoke up.

"Its getting late we should now leave."

The girls nodded and I bid farewell to them cause I told them I will be taking a detour.

I went to the abounded tennis court to meet Fuka. I saw her sitting on the bench. I walked in front of her.

"It's a honor see that you've waited for me."

I said while bowing just to tease her.

"You will have to make up for me waiting for you."

She replied with a grin.

I looked at her and realised this will be troublesome.

I sat next to her and we then spoke about ourselves and about the S-system.

Out of all the classmates I have spoken too today, Fuka was my favourite one to talk too. Night fell upon us.

"Looks like our time's up."

I said.

We both stood up and I escorted Fuka to her dorm building. She slipped a piece of paper into my pocket while we hugged and I bid my farewell.

I looked at the paper it had her phone number and dorm number as well.

I smiled and headed towards the convenience store. It was bit late so I did not run into any of my classmates.

I was getting some meat and fruits, it was now left for me to get some drinks and milk. While I was picking my drinks, I noticed a girl acting very suspicious around the beer section. Wait why does the school sell alcohol? I could tell she was a first year, she kept starring at a beer can then the cashier then back at the beer can. Is she planning on stealing it. I was interested in what she was planning to pull off so I approached the cashier she was starring at in order to distract the cashier and give the girl a opening, once she noticed the cashier was busy. She walked out but she had a beer can hidden under her blazer.

"Thank you. "

I said to the cashier after paying for my items, I looked at my phone to check my points I now had 98 000 points. I walked past a dark alley and noticed a familiar figure, it was the girl from the convenience store. I hid my presence then watched her as she leaned against the wall trying to open the beer can. It seems like she was tense as she couldn't open the can, were her hands sweaty. I will lend her a hand again I guess.

"Need a hand?"

I asked while standing in the dark.

When she heard my voice she looked at the direction at which the voice came from but she couldn't find the person behind the voice.

"No."

She replied sounding angry.

I did not respond and remained quiet till she then tried opening the can again.

"You still struggling. I guess I will be helping you,"

I said approaching her.

"No don't come near me you pervert."

Pervert? That escalated quite quickly.

"Pervert? Don't make me laugh, I have no interest in thieves."

I kept approaching her in a slow pace.

"Thieves, are you calling me thief!!!!!"

"Shoplifting is quite a interesting hobby don't you think?"

Once she heard the word shoplifting she realized someone saw what she did back at the store.

"What are you talking about?"

"Playing dumb, huh?"

"I do not know what you talking ab..."

Before she could finish her statement, I let out a dash and I found myself holding her wrist pressing her body against the wall.

"Arggh..."

She let out a sound of pain.

"Stop."

She tried yelling.

"Where did the strong girl go?"

I asked in a cold tone.

She did not reply , she still couldn't get a good look of my face cause the alley was dark.

While grabbing her wrist. I stared down at her and placed my other hand on her cheeks. This caused her to drop the beer can.

"Tomorrow's headline 'Shoplifter amongst First Years', doesn't that sound like a interesting title?

" Please don't tell anyone. I will do anything you want, you can even have my body?"

She said while trying to lift her skirt to show me her underwear but I banged her against the wall which stopped her from lifting her skirt.

For a young person she could easily offer her body just to protect her secret. This is a great I can make her my pawn.

She then took my free hand and placed it on her thighs. She'd go that far just to protect her secret.

While doing that she spoke up.

"Men are worthless creatures."

Once she said that I understood she had bad experiences with men in the past.

I let go of her wrist which caused her to fall on ground. Tears were now falling from her face.

I picked up the beer can and said.

"Follow me."

"Wait please don't report me."

She said while wiping tears from her face.

"Don't make me repeat myself."

I said in a cold tone.

She stood up wiped some dirt off her skirt and followed me once we were out of the alley. I walked and sat on a bench which she did too. She kept staring at my face cause it was the first time she'd get a good look at my face.

"So tell me about it."

The beer was still in my hand.

"Tell you about what?"

I sent a dark gaze towards her, which scared her and she spoke...

Her POV

This guy is scarier than my class rep. I looked at his eyes which was just full of darkness and it made me scared. He looked older than me and had a good looking face, not just because of his face but this was first time I felt I could trust a man.

"It happened two years ago, I was still in middle school, on that afterschool my friends and I went to the mall to play. I arrived home a bit late..."

No. I can't start crying again I tried holding my tears back but they just rushed out again.

The senpai then tapped my shoulder indicating that I should calm down, which I did.

"From outside I could hear loud noises coming from my house so I quickly walked in, just for me to find my mom on the floor been yelled at by my dad, was my dad drunk. I usually greet them when I arrive but I stayed silent and watched what was happening, but I couldn't watch anymore when I saw my dad throwing things and punches at my mom. I tried stepping in for my mom but my dad punched me in the stomach which sent me to the floor. My stomach was very painful but rage was rushing in my veins that I stood up one more time and pushed my dad with everything I had, my dad fell and his head hit the edge of the table knocking him out. I then went towards my mom who had bruises on her beautiful face and hugged her."

"Everything is gonna be okay my mom said. My mom and I then stood up and went over to my dad's body and noticed he was still unconcious. That moment I got more scared cause I thought maybe I killed my dad, before we could do anything we saw the police rush into our home. One of the neighbours had called them."

More tears started rushing and the senpai gave me a hug, before allowing me to carry on speaking.

"The police arrived, followed by paramedics. The neighbours were watching what was going on, I was with one of the paramedics while my mom was being questioned by the cops, after receiving treatment from the paramedics I went over to my mom and saw the cops handcuffing her. She took the blame for me."

"I didn't I want any of it to happen."

I yelled.

"Its okay"

Said the senpai.

"That was the last time I saw my mom, I then started living with my older sister and her husband here in Tokyo. It took me a while to get back to normal, I thought moving with her would help me find happiness again but it didn't. My sister's husband would harass me when my sister wasn't home, I lost my joyful expression and emotion from that the day. Months went by till I managed to enrol here escaping him."

I had managed to calm down but my face was now fill with rage. The senpai stood up while holding my beer can. He looked towards my direction and crushed the beer can with his left hand alone and said.

"You are really stupid."

What? I thought. I couldn't find a word to say back at him.

"Your mom took the blame for you but here you are not just stealing but trying to drink alcohol as well to destroy the future your mom gave you. Your mom was a good woman that I can tell and this is how you plan on thanking her, by drinking beer and becoming the female replica of your dad."

Oh no. I've disappointed my mom she wouldn't be happy to see me like this. I placed both my hands over my face...

Rin POV

I was still holding remains of the crushed beer can and I walked over to trash bin that was just close to our bench and threw it. I looked over at the girl she hid her face in her hands knowing she has disappoint the person she loved most. I took out two juice bottles from inside my plastic and place one of it on her neck.

"..."

She let out a cute sound. she was no longer crying.

"A pretty girl like you should be drinking this."

She accepted the juice bottle and took a drink.

"Thanks."

She said.

"It's cool."

"I'm Masumi Kamuro."

"You can call me Rin, its nice to meet you Masumi."

I said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too Rin-senpai."

"Masumi you haven't had good experiences with people in the past especially with men so I will protect you while you are here and help you find the joy you once had before and help you grow so when you meet your mom again she would be proud to see you."

"Thank you Rin-senpai."

She said with a small smile.

It was the first time seeing her smile tonight.

"It's getting late, you should go get your beauty sleep."

I gave her my phone number.

She then stood up.

"Thank you senpai for helping me."

She said while bowing and she left.

I watched her as she went to the student dorm section.

I guess its my time to go too. I stood up went to my apartment. I'm really glad to be the only student with a apartment in this school.

I didn't see any of my neighbours tonight as well. Today was a long day, luckily my first day of school was on a Friday, tomorrow Kiyo and I will be spending the day together.

I took out my phone and registered Fuka's number then texted her.

'Hey Fuka.'

I sent to her.

I was now taking a shower once I got out, my phone started ringing I knew who it was. It was my neighbour Fuka. I picked up my phone and answered, it was a video call. I just had a towel on my lower body so my upper body had nothing on it. Fuka on the other side had a towel on her hair and had another towel covering her body. Seems like she was also from taking a shower. We think alike I guess. Fuka spoke first.

"My my, I love what I'm seeing."
(Thanks for reading. I'm really enjoying writing about Fuka.)

Next chapter: The Ayanokouji Brothers day out, Rin versus Professor-dono and Ryuuen and Rin cross paths.)

Chapter 6

"Sometimes violence is the only way to get the message across."

I woke up around 06:00.My call with Fuka last night was quite long. I still had free time before meeting Kiyo. I did a few work out reps then headed to the shower.

I was done getting dressed, I was now eating breakfast and reflecting on some of yesterday's events. I started reading a book. My phone started ringing it was Kiyo. I answered.

'Yo'
'I'm downstairs'
'Cool I'm coming.'

I left my apartment and saw Kiyo waiting for me.

I walked towards him and fist pumped him. We then headed for Keyaki Mall. It was the first time Kiyo and I went out together.

"How was your first day?"

Kiyo asked.

"It was okay."

"Did you make friends?"

"Yeah and got two phone numbers."

"Seems like your first day was better than mine."

"Yep, but I doubt I would touch breasts like you."

I said poking my elbow at his arm.

"Can you please try not to talk about that, it's already sad I don't even remember how they felt."

"I don't think Kei would be laughing if she heard you saying that."

"Please don't tell her. Last night I decided to search on what the word boobs meant."

"Was it educational?"

I asked.

"You got me into trouble with Kei."

I laughed at what he said.

We got to the mall it was full of stores that I had no idea of, we then stood and stared at each other.

"Now we here, what happens?"

Kiyo asked.

" I don't know this is my first time visiting a mall."

"How about we go get you a notebook(laptop)?"

"Yeah that sounds good."

We then headed for the electronics store, Kiyo was looking for a notebook to get me while I was by a section called 'console' I saw portable devices on sale the were called 'Wintendo Switch'.
I started analyzing the device. Kiyo approached me with a camera in his hand. Seems like his buying it.

"Kiyo what's this?"

I asked pointing at the device called the Wintendo switch.

"It looks familiar I've seen some of my male classmates with it, it's a device used to play games with friends and family."

Play games? This could be a activity for both Kiyo and I, we can play games together.

"I was thinking of getting one but I was saving my points at that time."

Kiyo added.

"Since they are on sale let's get them."

Kiyo nodded

I took two Wintendo Switch devices and looked at a section that had games. We walked over towards the section and picked five games, we both had no idea when it came to stuff like this. So we just picked the five games based on their covers, we headed towards the cashier and paid for our items.
I filled some document about delivery. We left the store, it was still morning and the mall was still empty. But the students that were around kept staring at us, but we ignored their gazes. We got to a clothing store and got some clothes and headed to a book store, out of nowhere at the bookstore I heard a sweet voice.

"Good morning Ayanokouji."

I knew she was referring to Kiyo so I did not respond to the greeting.

Kiyo spoke up.

"Good morning Shiina."

The person who called out Kiyo was a sweet looking young girl. So her name is Shiina.
They started talking to each other I was a few steps away from them looking for a book. I then heard Shina ask.

Are you alone?"

"No I'm with my older brother."

Shina had a surprised look on her face.

"You have brother, where is he?"

Shina asked looking excited.

Kiyo looked towards my direction and said.

"Rin could you please come here for second."

I walked towards him and I got a full look of Shina. She was sweet looking and had a very innocent smile. If Kiyo was still single I wouldn't have mind if he ended up dating Shina.

"Rin this is my friend and my reading partner Shina, she's from Class 1C."

"Hey."

I said offering my hand for a handshake. She stretched out her hand and accepted my hand.

"Hi."

She had a very soft and gentle hand.

"Nice to meet you Shiina."

I said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too Ayanokouji senpai."

She said with a smile.

"You can call me Rin-Senpai, a friend of my brother is also a friend of mine."

"Thank you Rin-Senpai."

She said while bowing.

She then asked me about books and we started talking about it and Kiyo stepped in too. We discussed novels for like 10 minutes. Kiyo then stood up and went to get a book that he wants to recommend for Shiina.

I was left with Shina.

"Ayanokouji seems different today."

"What do you mean?"

I asked.

"Usually he has a emotionless face but now I can pick off some sort of emotion coming from him. I'm sure it's all thanks to you."

"You could say that but I'm sure you also the reason for this change."

She let out a sweet blush.

"I think you giving me too much credit Senpai."

"No I don't think so."

Kiyo arrived so Shina and I changed the topic. I exchanged contacts with Shina and we then watched her leave.

"She's loving don't you think?"

"Yeah."

"I wouldn't mind having her as our little sister."

"It would be great."

"Yeah speaking of family, our parents have many secrets do you think maybe we have a sibling that's out there somewhere."

"Nahh."

We both said at the same time before paying for our books. We've bought almost everything that we needed, so we decided to go to my place to fix and pack some stuff.

The receptionist let Kiyo in cause she saw he was helping me with some shopping bags.

I was unlocking my door and Kiyo and I both heard a female voice coming from 201 it belonged to a person called C.Hoshinomiya. Once my door opened Kiyo quickly walked in.
I closed the door behind me.

"Why are you rushing?"

"No I'm not, I just like my brother's place so much that I can't wait to come in."

That was definitely a lie.

"I see."

I will brush it off for now.

We then started unpacking our stuff and putting them in order and rearranged some of the furniture. While Kiyo was in my bedroom setting my laptop and stuff, I decided to take one of the Wintendo Switch' we purchased and I switched it on. It asked me to insert a game, I just picked any game amongst the ones we bought and inserted it in, the game was called 'Street Fighter' interesting title. I entered the game it had a interesting background song and I then played a tutorial stage. It took me some time to get the controls right but I managed, I then clicked a option called 'online match' I did not what it meant, after I clicked it I was taken to a page that read 'searching for players' it took a few seconds to pick up a player. My opponent and I were now on a 'character selection screen'. I did not know anything about the characters so I just selected the one I was given by default, the character was called Ken, I could see my opponent was still picking his character. I looked up at his user name and it read Professor-dono next to his name was a gold badge I had no idea what it resembled, I was interested in his name and clicked on his profile icon, I did not see his actual name but I saw 1D which meant his class but what was written in his bio was interesting as it read 'Man of Culture'. I wanted to look deep into it but Professor-dono was now done selecting his character ,he chose a female character called Chun li, she had thick thighs, I was taken to a loading screen, my first video game fight was a few seconds away. Then the match started my character Ken was on the left while Chun Li was on the right of my screen. Chun Li was moving very fast I just saw my Ken's health bar dropping and boom the round was over. How? The tutorial match wasn't like this. The second round started I just started pressing buttons and I managed to get a win over Chun Li. It was now 1:1. The screen then read 'round 3 fight' Chun Li attacked my Ken, the health bar was dropping although I was landing a few kicks and punches on Chun Li but they were not critical compared to the ones Chun Li was landing on me. My Ken had nothing left in his health bar while Chun li had like 40% of health remaining. I could tell Chun Li's special move was coming so I quickly started moving my joystick and pressing buttons simultaneously expecting a miracle to happen which happened.

(Rin pulled off something similar to this on Professor.)

I managed to block Chun Li's kicks and quickly countered and I won my first match video game match ever. I quickly exited the game thinking Professor might ask me for another fight.

Meanwhile in Professor's room
Professor took out his glasses and bowed at the screen, acknowledging his opponent. Little did he know his opponent was just lucky.

Rin POV
That was a great match. I switched off my Switch and went to my room and joined Kiyo who was installing some stuff in my laptop.

"Are you done."

I asked.

"Yeah."

He then explained to me how to use the laptop and stuff, it took quite some time. I stood up and took fighting posture calling him in. My match with Professor got me craving for a fight.

Kiyo took off his shoes and said.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded and Kiyo rushed in for the attack.

He was fast just as expected from the my dad's masterpiece. He sent punches towards direction I dodged and I merely dodged some.

We both then took a step back.

"Why are you holding back, I won't cry if you hit me."

He said.

I smiled at his statement and quickly rushed in for a attack, He managed to dodge some of my punches but I quickened the pace a bit, Kiyo started losing his ground.

I decided to stop.

"Not bad, don't feel bad you are only allowed to lose to me."

I said while I offering my hand and lifting him off the floor.

"You are really amazing bro."

He said.

"You could say that."

We then finished fixing what was left and headed for the mall again.

We were at a unpopular restaurant. I allowed Kiyo to pick where we should eat. It was a very empty location.

"Where are the other students?"

I asked

"They at the other side of the mall which has luxurious restaurants and fast foods. But I chose this one cause I like the environment here its peaceful."

"I see, I like it too."

Before ordering our dish I kept asking Kiyo about almost everything on the menu cause most the dishes were Japanese cuisine which I had no idea on. I decided to order a French dish while Kiyo ordered a Japanese dish. We ate our food while discussing some family matters.

It was now time for dessert, Kiyo suggested I order a milkshake cause it was made up off this so called 'ice cream'.

The waiter brought our desserts and Kiyo kept staring at me.

"Go on have a taste."

He said.

I tasted it and man. It felt so good.

My face couldn't hold the satisfaction anymore and I let out a smile that brightened the atmosphere in the whole restaurant.

The waiters, the small number of customers and even the chefs that work in the kitchen came out just to look at me.

"So how was it Kiyo."

Kiyo asked before taking a taste of his milkshake as well.

He too had a reaction similar to mines.

I let out a laugh. I'm really glad I get to spend time with my brother.

Night time was falling. We paid for our food and left the restaurant.

We were now walking around the school.

"Although I've been here for a few months, the size of this school still surprises me."
Kiyo said.

"Yeah, we should enjoy our time here as we do not what awaits us when we get out of here."

We both fist pumped each other as a sign to show nothing will separate us again.

I showed him the abounded tennis court where he should come if he wants meet me during break time.

It was now eight O'Clock.

"Bro can you come with me, I have to meet up with someone."

"Is it your group?"

"No, let me just say it's a surprise."

Kiyo led the way. We arrived at the Special Annex building.

Once we got there I noticed four students were waiting for Kiyo.

They noticed our presence and looked at our direction.

"I didn't think you'd come Ryuuen."

Kiyo said.

So Ryuuen is here, just by looking at the group I could already tell who was Ryuuen.

"Cut the small talk and tell me what you want? I'm still planning on dropping out. No body can change my mind about that."

Ryuuen said, his face had a few bruises.

"I see then."

Kiyo replied.

Amongst Ryuuen's group one of the guys spoke up.

"Hey Albert doesn't that guy look a bit like Ryuuen."

So Albert is the dark skin bulky guy.

Ryuuen heard what one of his classmates said.

He looked at me then backed at Kiyo.

"Did you find yourself a underlying? And Why the hell does the bastard look a bit like me?

"Oh, are you talking about Rin, he's my older brother."

"WHAT?"

The boy next to Albert and a girl with blue hair said at the same time.

"Your brother, does that mean his like you?"

"Who knows, since you dropping out I don't have to tell you."

Kiyo said trying to provoke Ryuuen.

"Bastard!!"

Yelled Ryuuen before rushing towards me. Wait why me?

Ryuuen came rushing towards me with his fist but I did not dodge. Ryuuen fist missed my face and he then laughed.

"Kuku, seems like you siblings are very interesting."

None of us spoke he then looked at me and asked.

"Why didn't you dodge?"

"I don't have time to dodge what won't hit me, little boy."

I guess I will provoke him too. I saw Kiyo trying to hold his laugh.

"You two really piss me off."

He said as he started throwing punches at me which I kept blocking with ease.

"Monster"

He said as he distanced himself away from me.

"I guess it's my turn to attack now."

(Thank you for reading)

Next chapter: Meeting my neighbours.

Chapter 7: Woman's beauty

I rushed towards Ryuuen just to stop in front of him. His face had a surprised expression.

"How??"

He was shocked at my dash.

I flicked my finger at his temple.

"You're a interesting one, Ryuuen."

"How did you get here, what the hell are you?"

I smiled and said.

"A human, I guess."

"You are really his brother?"

He said pointing at Kiyo.

"Indeed."

He lowered his fists as he knew the fight wouldn't end well for him.

"Only you and your brother can clown me like this."

He said and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Ryuuen , you have potential, grow up well."

"..."

He did not respond.

I was about to say something.

But I heard a strange laugh.

"Kukukuku..."

It was Ryuuen laughing.

We all silently starred at him.

"Ayanokouji Brothers."

He said sounding serious. Is that how plans calling us. He then carried on speaking.

"I look forward to this next months."

Sounds like he will be staying.

I starred at him and said.

"Now that's more like it. A person who looks likes me can't be a weakling."

We exchanged a few words and Ryuuen made a declaration that after he buries the other first year classes he will be coming for Kiyo then me.

As he was about to leave.

"Senpai."

I looked at him.

"The can only be one master."

He said with a grin as he left.

"It seems like his excited again."

Kiyo said.

"Yeah, I look forward to his growth. We should leave too."

"Yeah."

We were about to walk away but a voice called out to us.

"Wait!"

We looked back, it came from one of Ryuuen's companions. Kiyo and I looked back at the group.

"Thank you."

He said.

"Without Ryuuen our class won't make it to Class A, thank you for making him stay."

"Its okay. Can I get your names?"

"Yes Senpai, I'm Ishizaki, this is Albert and the girl is Ibuki."

"I see then, I'm Rin Ayanokouji."

"Nice to meet you Ayanokouji senpai. Are you really brothers?"

I nodded.

The angry looking girl then said something.

"I can't call him Ayanokouji senpai, it will look like I'm respecting that guy."

She said in a angry tone pointing at Kiyo.

Did she not like Kiyo. I wonder what happened between them.

"Ibuki right?"

"Yes."

"Then you can call me Rin Senpai."

"Yes Senpai."

"Ibuki, you look like you practice martial arts, you should come see me if you need some tips or training."

"Thank you, Senpai."

Kiyo said something in a low voice but we all heard what he said.

"Eh, this is new, I don't remember her been kind and friendly."

Ibuki was the first to react to his statement.

"What did you say, you bastard? You really piss me off."

She started yelling at Kiyo.

I walked towards Albert and I started speaking to him in English.

"You like the school?"

"Yeah."

"I see."

"Senpai although I did not see you fight but I can tell you are very strong."

We then exchanged a few more words in English.

We were all walking together out of the building. Ishizaki and Albert were talking to Kiyo while Ibuki was walking next to me.

"You know Ayanokouji you should move to our class we've come to like you, surprisingly even Ibuki likes you."

Ishizaki whispered that last part but Ibuki managed to hear him.

"Why would I like that bastard."

Ibuki said.

"Oh Albert look, its her tsundere side."

Ishizaki said.

Tsundere??

Ibuki looked back at Ishizaki and threw a water bottle at him.

I was walking with a interesting group of underclassmen. Apparently they're Hiyori's classmates. We were separating now as Kiyo and I were taking a different path from them.

"Rin-senpai can I get your number?"

Ibuki asked while looking down

"Ahh!! Albert look Ibuki has a crush on the older brother now."

Ishizaki said provoking Ibuki.

Ryuuen has a interesting group of comrades.

"Sure."

I said. I gave her my number.

"Thank you, senpai"

She said with a bow.

Kiyo and I separated from the group, Ibuki waved at me but sent a disgusted look at Kiyo.

"It seems like she hates you."

"She hates everyone, it's like you the only person she speaks kindly too."

"Yeah."

"Can we head to your place, my Wintendo Switch is still there and can you cook today?"

"What's this? You like my cooking."

"I never say that."

"Stop acting like a tsundere."

I had no idea what it meant but it sounded funny.

Kiyo raised his brow and looked at me .

"Do you even know what it means?"

"No idea."

We got to my place, the receptionist did not bother stopping Kiyo from entering the building cause it seems like she has decided to make him a exception on visiting the place.

We were in the elevator.

"You know the way you spoke to Ryuuen one of my classmates once spoke to him like that."

"Interesting, I hope to meet that classmate of yours one day."

The elevator doors opened we were on my floor and it was time for Kiyo's weird behavior again but I did not ask this time and we just walked into my place.

Kiyo was sitting in the living room reading some stuff. I was in the kitchen and making us a meal.

I was a fan of western dishes.

We were now eating.

"This is good."

Said Kiyo.

"I'm glad to hear."

Kiyo POV

He's cooking is really great.

20 minutes later.

We finished eating and I helped him clean up I was now playing one of the games we got . Rin was in the bedroom looking for something. I heard a knock coming from the door.

"Could you please get the door for me?"

Rin asked .

"Okay."

I stood up and walked towards the door. Who could be knocking this late?

I opened the door.

Crap...

I really let my guard down.

It was my homeroom teacher and Class 1B's teacher.

I'm finished.

" Ohyahoo Ayanokouji, What a surprise?"

Hoshimiya sensei said while winking at me.

Before I could say something.

My homeroom teacher spoke.

"Don't you know how to read Ayanokouji, the sign outside says students are not permitted in this building."

She's still the same even outside of class.

"Don't be mean to your cute student , Sae chan."

I need to leave.

"Can you be serious, Hoshimiya sensei, why are you here Ayanokouji , I don't remember you being a employee."

Can't you at least let me greet you sensei.

"Who knows maybe he's trying to steal your job Sae chan."

Hoshimiya said while poking her finger at Chabashira Sensei serious face.

"I wouldn't do that, I'm actually visiting someone."

"Someone?? We heard there was a new person living in our floor so we wanted to meet them. Is it a woman, I did not know you were into older woman Ayanokouji-kuh."

Chie sensei said as she placed her face close to my face.

You are too close Sensei. Before I could reply.

I heard Rin's voice coming from behind me.

"Kiyo who's that?"

Sae and Chie looked at the direction of the voice.

Finally I can escape. I will use this as a chance to have them focus on Rin instead of me.

"There are people looking for you."

Rin then walked towards the door and stood next to me.

He makes me feel short.

Rin POV

I walked and stood next to Kiyo and saw two ladies in front of my door.

"Good evening, how may I help you?"

One of the ladies was looking at me while blushing and the other looked like she was trying to hold her blush back.

The lady blushing pushed Kiyo away and stood in front of me.

"Are you the new neighbor, I'm Chie and this Sae. Its really nice to meet you."

She said while forcefully taking my left hand.

If you ask me, she seems forward.

The other lady who I suppose is Sae cleared her throat and said.

"Well excuse me, I'm Sae Chabashira homeroom teacher of Class 1D."

I then used my free hand and shook her hand.

"Its a honor to meet you."

I said.

"Oh my, look at that even Sae chan is blushing."

"Shut up Hoshimiya, can we do what we came here to do, so I can assume you the new neighbor right?"

"Yeah."

"The receptionist told us about you so we wanted to invite you to join us downstairs for a drink."

"Sure, Can you just give me a minute or two? "

"No problem."

I pulled my hand away from Chie and noticed Kiyo was seating on the couch, why is he running away from them.

I closed the door and went to grab a jacket.

"Are they the reason you act weird when you come here?"
I asked.

He just nods and says.

"Bro I'm leaving."

"Aren't you joining us?"

"Nope"

He replied with a straight face. He took his console and stood up, waiting at the door.

"Why are you still waiting, leave."

He did not respond.

Meanwhile outside Rin's door

"Ooh my he's handsome, he's my type of man."

"Can you calm down Hoshimiya try not to do anything embarrassing."

"My my, since when were you the type to care about what people thought about you."

Sae chan did not respond.

Then Chie started sharing her thoughts.

" I can't believe such a man will be living here for the next months, the things him and I can do every night. I won't sleep tonight knowing what's next door. Oh My, I'm getting heated just thinking about it."

She said with a lustful expression.

Little did she know Kiyotaka was listening to their conversation from the other side of door.

Before Sae- chan could respond Rin's door opened...

Third Person POV

Once the door opened Kiyo and Rin walked out and they both looked at Hoshimiya face and could tell she was having inappropriate thoughts. They ignored her.

Kiyo spoke.

"I don't belong here I will be leaving."

"Bye bye Ayanokouji-kun."

Sae-chan just nodded

Rin waved.

Before Kiyotaka entered the elevator, Chie said something troublesome.

"Don't forget to dream about your sweet Honami."

Kiyo did not respond and just walked into the elevator.

Rin POV

Honami? Who's that?

After Kiyo left, Chie looked my way, raised both her hands and said.

"Let's go drink like there's no tomorrow."

I just smiled at her statement, and looked at her and Sae sensei placed her hand on her face and nodded like she was disappointed.

We took a different elevator. Chie Sensei tried hooking her hands with my arm but I smoothly moved away.

While in the elevator Chie Sensei was humming. She was really excited.

Sae chan then looked at me and asked.

"What's your relationship with Ayanokouji?"

Chie looked at me too. They were both waiting for my answer.

"His my brother and I'm Rin Ayanokouji."

They both had a surprised looked on their faces.

"This is the first time I'm hearing about it, Sae chan did you know all along?"

"No its news too me as well."

It looked like Sae sensei was about to say something but was cut off by Chie.

"You wanted Ayanokouji-kun to yourself Sae-chan but I have been granted the bigger version of him, so I win."

What is she on about Sae and Rin both thought.

We then walked out of the elevator while both Sae and Chie tried asking me questions but I kept dodging the questions without them even realizing it.

We were still in our residential building but on a different floor, we walked into a room that had a wider door. We were in a casino looking lobby it had a mini bar and some gambling tables, it was only permitted to people that lived in the building.

"Finally, we are here. I've been waiting for the weekend, Ayanokouji BIg let's have fun tonight."

She said sounding excited.

I looked at Sae but she just nodded.

"This place always gets me excited."

"Can we just go to our seats already."

Said Sae.

It looked like they had arrangements already.

We walked past some tables and got to a table for four. The tables were already occupied by two men.

Sae walked and sat on one of the chairs, Chie stood next to me.

Were this their boyfriends or husbands?

Sae then spoke.

" Mashima , Sakagami sensei we brought a guest with us."

Both men looked my way.

"I'm Mashima."

"I'm Ayanokouji."

"Your name sounds familiar."

"I have a relative that's a first year."

"No I've heard that name before I even became a teacher here."

Did he know dad?

"I see, it could be a concidence."

I said.

The other guy then joined in.

"I'm Sakagami sensei."

I shook his hands as well. He looked older compared to Mashima sensei and had a delinquent look.

"Pleasure to meet you too."

Chie then sat down, I was the only one still standing. I had no chair. I looked at the nearest table and took a chair from it.

Sakagami sensei had the most space available next to him for me to fit my chair but Chie shifted her chair making space indicating I sit next to her.

I sat next to Chie.

"Can we order?"

Said Chie Sensei.

"About that Sakagami sensei and I already had a few drinks so we will pass."

"What are you talking about Mashima-chi? The party is just getting started."

Chie said placing her hand over my shoulders.

"She's getting in her zone?"

Said Sakagami Sensei.

It sounds like Chie liked drinking.

"Hoshimiya do not go overboard I'm tired of always carrying you back to your place."

"I will behave tonight."

"Yeah right."

"Sakagami looks like we will be having a few more drinks again."

Said Mashima sensei.

Our drinks arrived. Mashma and Sakagami were drinking whiskey, Chie had both a bottle of wine and beer to herself. Sae and I had a mocktail. I researched on it after Sae and Chie invited me.

We spoke they shared stories, I was happy they did not ask me many questions. So they are all first year teachers.

I have been here for about an hour now, Hoshimiya kept clinging on me once in a while, even though she's had the most drinks out all us, I got the feeling she was doing it on purpose.

Hoshimiya kept on drinking more and more. Then while the other 3 were talking to each other and had their attention somewhere else. Hoshimiya took the opportunity and approached my face.

There goes my personal space.

"Chie, are you okay?"

"You look tasty Ayanokouji Big."

She's drunk.

Her face kept getting close to mine it's like she wanted our lips to connect. I might as well go for it.

I placed my hand on her back.

"You want ..."

She didn't finish her sentence as she was about get close to my lips I shifted my head to the side causing her to miss my face and I took the opportunity and knocked the back of her head causing her to pass out.

I could feel something soft on my chests but ignored it.

I looked at the other three who had their attention on something else and said.

"Looks like Chie's having a early night."

They looked my way in surprise.

"She usually goes longer than this."

Sakagami said.

"Sae I guess its your time."

Sae sighed and stood up.

"I will be leaving with her then."

One of the workers helped Sae take Hoshimiya back to her place.

"Goodnight Sae."

I said to her ear.

I was now left with Mashima and Sakagami.

I placed my chair next to them, they were watching a poker match not far from us.

Sakagami then shared a story about his young days when he was a part of a yakuza group and why he became a teacher. Mashima shared a story on his passion for teaching. There were some funny moments shared during our talk.

It was now late and we decided to end the talk for tonight. They headed for the elevator while I took a detour as I had to meet with someone at 22:00.

While walking to my destination I thought of my encounter with the four teachers. Chie sensei she was too forward, the type to end a relationship if she saw it was getting serious basically she just wanted fun. Sae sensei is more laid back and relaxed compared to Hoshimiya. Mashima and Sakagami were both cool guys.

My destination was the park. I did not see anyone along the way as it was almost midnight. I finally arrived at the meeting spot and I saw Fuka. She was seated on a bench, the moon's light shone on her, it complimented with her elegant skin. The night sky had beautiful stars but I was focused on the brightest and amazing star that was in front of me.

I got close to the bench and she noticed me and looked my way.

"Only you can make me come out this late."

Fuka said.

"I promise to make it a worthful moment."

She giggled and stood up giving me hug.

"The woman that threw herself on you tonight has cheap taste in perfume."

(Hoshimiya had Citrus on.)

Hoshimiya's perfume was on my clothes due to her uneccessary hugs.

"Are you jealous?"

I asked still hugging her.

"Jealous? Of someone using cheap tricks to steal your heart."

I wanted to respond but was cut.

"Let me show you how a real woman smells."

Fuka said while tightening the hug, trying to spread her smell on me.

I could feel some sort of sensation on my chest, I looked and noticed what was it I was feeling.

Too close Fuka...

Thank you for reading

Next Chapter: Meeting with Chairman Sakayanagi, Rin's choice and Kiriyama's goals."

Chapter 8

Monday

I woke up earlier than usually and stared at the ceiling thinking back at this weekend's events. I wonder if Hoshimiya remembers what I did to her.

Then there was my Saturday night time with Fuka nothing really extraordinary happened besides the hugging , we then walked around the park before bidding farewell.

Ding.

It was a message from one of my female classmates it was about Kiryama. The message read.

' As the class rep I have something important to share so can we have a meeting before class starts.'

I wonder what's the meeting about. I got out of bed and did some workout reps and headed for the shower. I made my meal and I left early for school. Luckily I did not come across Hoshimiya.

I exited the building and headed for school. Female students kept staring me but failed to approach me as I met some of my classmates on my way to school.

"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun"

One of my female classmates said.

"Good morning."

I replied.

"Kiryama sure is making us come early."

A girl said with a annoyed expression.

"Its probably something important."

They nodded to my statement.

One male classmate saw us and approached us putting his arm over my shoulders.

"Ayanokouji walking with chicks this early, you don't waste time huh."

"I met them on my way."

I said while removing his arm from my shoulder.

"Oh by the way Ayanokouji-kun did you have girlfriends back in New York."

The guy asked.

Did he just come to bother me.

All the girls stared at me waiting for my answer.

"No."

"Yes!!!!"

A girl whispered. Why is she happy?

"So, you are single?"

"Yeah, I guess."

I could see the girls have some relieved expression on their faces.

"Are you looking for a girlfriend?"

Another guy asked.

"No, but if I happen to find someone I like I won't mind dating them."

"You surely would make a good boyfriend, Ayanokouji-kun."

A girl said.

I wanted to respond but I was cut off.

"Come to me when you need advice about the deed.

I knew exactly what he meant by the 'deed'.

A girl then responded.

"Don't follow him Ayanokouji, he couldn't even keep his girlfriend happy?"

"Can you please not talk about it."

The guy insisted but another girl then carried on.

"His girlfriend cheated on him with a guy from 2A."

"You should have been there man, it was so funny, he cried and did not come to school for a whole two weeks."

After a guy said that they all started laughing thinking back at what happened?

I wonder who did his girlfriend cheat on him with.

We then spoke about trivial matters.

We got to class and went to our seats, everyone had arrived early. I went to my seat and winked at my neighbor she let out a blush.

"Thank you all for coming."

Kiryama said as he was speaking from the teacher's podium.

"I will get straight to the main topic before the year ends we will be having about two more exams and I'd like us to use these two exams to close the gap against Class A. Ayanokouji even if you've been here for a short time I'm sure you understand how things work here."

I nodded to his statement.

Class A is about 800 points away from us. For them to have such a gap from us meant that Class A had a better leader than our class.

"That's good, we need as much hands as possible to defeat Class A. Any questions?"

"What are the exams about?"

"Unfortunately I have no idea myself."

No one had a question.

"Secondly the Student Council President election is coming up, so I'd like to ask you guys to vote me."

Student Council President Election? I wonder who are the other candidates.

A male student stood up and spoke.

"Kiryama, why do you keep aiming for president."

Another classmate added.

"Yeah, Nagumo will obviously take the role as president and you'll end up as vice-president. Why do you keep trying to fight Nagumo, you should just focus your energy on working to overthrow Class A."

Nagumo? Was he one of the candidates. By the way my classmates spoke of him it sounded like he was from Class A. I should ask Fuka about him.

"Fuka who is this Nagumo guy?"

I whispered to her.

"He's just some annoying kid from Class A."

Kid?

"I know the outcome has already been decided but I have to go against Nagumo."

Sounds like he has accepted defeat already.

A few more students gave their thoughts on the election and I managed to pick some information on this Nagumo guy. So apparently he is the one the controlling the 2nd and some 3rd years and is currently vice president. Those who went against him were eliminated. Just from those comments I got an idea on what type of kid he was.

So the ones voting in this election are 2nd years and members of the Student Council. It only has two candidates winner becomes president and loser becomes vice-president.

Speaking of Student Council, I remember Kiyo telling me about his encounter with the current President.

Sensei walked in and the lesson went as normal. Break time came. I had no plans to hang with Fuka and she left for the cafeteria with some of the girls.

Some female students sat around my table eating their lunches. I reached out into my bag to get my lunch as well. I placed my lunch on the table.

"What do you have there, Ayanokouji?"

A girl asked.

"Just a meal I made."

This caught the attention of many other students as they all had their gaze at my lunch box.

What's going on? How long do they plan on starring at it.

I opened my lunch box

All my classmates stared at my meal with sparkly eyes. Was the something wrong with my food.

"Did you make that?"

A girl asked.

"Yes , it's the first Japanese meal I've made."

"Really, can I have a taste Ayanokouji?"

"Sure"

The moment I replied that more of my female classmates rushed at me asking to have a taste as well, they were even fighting over it.

I exchanged my meal with them. I looked at my lunch box and realized the meal I made was completly replaced with their food.

I watched them as they ate my meal. They all had weird satisfied expressions.

"Ayanokouji can you become my personal chef."

"No be mine, I'm willing to even pay you."

The girls started arguing over it like it was something that would happen.

Was my meal that good.

Time skip

After school I couldn't go home just yet. I had a meeting scheduled with Chairman Sakayanagi today. Students weren't allowed at the office section of the school. So my homeroom teacher was the one escorting me to the office. I found Kiyo waiting with Sae outside Chairman Sakayanagi's office.

"Too think you were a student Ayanokouji?"

Sae said.

Sae knocked and we had the Chairman say.

"Come in."

We walked in and Chairman Sakayanagi said.

"Thank you for bringing them you may leave."

The teachers both left the office.

"You can have a seat boys."

We both sat.

"I'm happy to see you guys getting along."

"Its all thanks to you Chairman Sakayanagi."

"Yeah thank you Chairman Sakayanagi."

Added Kiyo.

"How's the school Rin?"

"I'm enjoying it so far ."

"I'm glad to hear, so let's get to business I might not be here for the next months."

Chairman Sakayanagi said.

"Don't tell me he has started making his move?"

Kiyo asked.

"Yes, your father has started making his moves."

Dad has started the attack. I just got here, couldn't he wait a bit.

"He's managed to frame me on corruption now I will be under investigation during the upcoming months."

"Let me guess the person who will take over your postion is one of dad's man."

"Yes."

"Kiyotaka troublesome challenges are heading your way. Are you ready to protect your freedom?"

"Yes."

Kiyo replied.

"Even though I might not be here during those times but I might find ways to try to help you."

We then spoke on how dad's attack will influence things at the school and then prepared some communication measures. Chairman Sakayanagi then brought up my condition to enrolling here.

"Rin you know the condition have you made up your mind."

"Yes, I won't join a club."

"So you will work?"

"Yep."

"What type of job?"

I hadn't thought about much, so I still wasn't fully sure on what to do.

"Chef."

Kiyo said.

"Chef? If you wanna have some of my cooking, you can just ask."

I said to Kiyo.

"Seems like you are good at cooking Rin."

Chairman Sakayanagi said.

"I will work as a chef. I guess."

Kiyo smiled.

"I see do you have an idea of which restaurant."

I will take the restaurant Kiyo and I ate at on Saturday. It was called 'Foodys'.

"Foodys."

"Are you sure Rin? The restaurant is unpopular and has very few customers."

"I would like to raise its status with my cooking."

"I guess I will be spending my after school there."

Kiyo said.

"So, Foodys it is. I'd love to taste your cooking Rin."

"I will make you a dish when you return."

Chairman Sakayanagi called the manager of the restaurant and told him that a new employee would be joining. The manager accepted.

"You start tomorrow after school Rin."

I nodded.

We spoke about some trivial things with Chairman Sakayanagi. It was now time to leave.

"Too think the best students in the world are attending my school, it makes me happy thinking about it."

Chairman Sakayanagi said.

Kiyo left first as I was about to leave Chairman Sakayanagi said.

"Rin it is time for you to protect your brother."

I nodded and left.

It was getting dark we spent quite some time with Chairman Sakayanagi. I separated ways with Kiyo as I had to go shopping for new cooking tools.

Meanwhile at the Student Council Office

Third Person POV

The student council worked till late today as they were discussing matters regarding the elections.

President Horikita :Nagumo, Kiryama good luck.

President Horikita wished both of them luck although he knew the outcome already.

Nagumo: Thank you senpai.

Kiryama: Thank you President.

They spoke about the school until the sectary Tachibana walked in with an envelope.

Tachibana: President its from the Chairman.

Tachibana gave the letter to the President.

President Horikita: Thank you.

Nagumo and Kiryama went to speak to other members of the student council giving the older Horikita space to read the letter.

The letter was from the Chairman informing the older Horikita about a transfer student. The student's name was not included on the letter just his class.

Older Horikita then looked at Kiryama.

President Horikita: Kiryama, you have a new classmate?

Kiryama: Yes president.

This gained Nagumo and the other second year's attention as they had no idea on this matter.

President Horikita: What do you think of him?

All the members looked at Kiryama waiting for his answer.

Kiryama: My evaluation of him won't be fully accurate as we haven't had an exam yet to test him but from what I've seen from him he's very smart he even corrects the teachers, he hasn't joined a sport's club and does not partake in PE classes but from the way his body looks in his uniform his well built, he still hasn't given anyone in class the reason to his mysterious enrolment. Besides him coming from New York not much is known about him. I haven't seen him around our dorms, none of us even know where he sleeps. I think there is more to him than he let's out.

Nagumo smiled as he grew more interested in the matter.

President Horikita: I see.

Tachibana: For a student to enrol like this, this is just too mysterious President.

President Horikita: That's right, why would the Chairman let a student enrol this late and as a second year.

Kiryama: That's what we all thought but we did not ask him, and many students have come to like him.

President: What's the student's name?

Kiryama: He allowed me to call him Rin.

President: Rin.

Tachibana: What's his last name maybe he comes from a powerful family.

Kiryama: Last name? Now that I think about it he has the same last name as that first year that raced against you.

Nagumo, Mizowaki, Tonkawa and other 2nd year members listened quietly.

Before the President could respond Kiryama cut him off.

Kiryama: Its Ayanokouji Rin.

President Horikita had a suprised look on his face which many of the students were surprised to see.

He then regained his usual look.

Tachibana: Ayanokouji like the first year boy?

Kiryama: Yes Senpai.

Nagumo and his classmates Tonkawa and Mizowaki have been hearing rumors about President Horikita's interest in this first year kid.

President: Thank you for the information Kiryama.

President Horikita thought maybe the 2nd year Ayanokouji and 1st year Ayanokouji could be related.

President Horikita: Where can I meet him?

Kiryama: Since little is known about where he lives the class would be the best place.

Before President Horikita could reply Nagumo cut in.

Nagumo: Ayanokouji Rin.

He said while smiling.

Kiryama noticed Nagumo has just grown interest in Ayanokouji. He knew it could only lead to troublesome things.

Kiryama: Nagumo stay away from him.

Nagumo: Haha, what do you mean Kiryama? I haven't done anything, yet.

President Horikita wants to meet this new student but he has to do it secretly and has to find a way to contact him. The only option he could think off was asking Ayanokouji Kiyotaka...

Rin POV

I finally arrived home. I changed and headed to the kitchen to sharpen my cooking skills. I'm looking forward to what tomorrow has in stored for me. While cooking I thought back at my talk with Chairman Sakayanagi about my dad.

Kiyo POV

I finally got to my place, to think my dad is already on the attack. I would have been worrying about it but with Rin around I don't have to worry about it that much.

Tomorrow I have to find a way to speak to Akito about why he's been giving me suspicious looks. I will then grab a meal at Rin's new workplace. As I was thinking about it I heard my phone ringing. I looked at it, it was President Horikita calling.

Somewhere else in the school

Nagumo and some his friends were discussing about the elections and Kiryama. Nagumo then stood up and said.

"Tomorrow we will visit Kiryama's class."

(Thanks for reading)

(Next chapter: Rin's first day at work, Rin's encounter with the Student Council.)

Chapter 9

Tuesday

Rin POV

I woke up and took the book that Shina recommended me. I read the book for about 2 hours and noticed the sun was now rising I got up from my chair and stared at the ceiling. Today's homeroom will start an hour late cause the second year teachers will be having a meeting.

Kiyo POV

For some reason I woke up earlier than usual. Older Horikita called yesterday asking whether I knew about the new second year student, I told him yes and told him where to go if he wants to meet my brother, Older Horikita was surprised when I told him that the new second year student was my brother. Older Horikita wants to speak to Rin, the possibility of Nagumo knowing about Rin is very high and knowing Nagumo, he will definitely try to play with my brother although that won't end well for him. I decided to give my brother a call to inform him about Older Horikita wanting to meet him.

'Yo.'

He picked up.

'You ready for work today?'

I asked.

'Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.'

'I will pass by to grab some food.'

'Cool no problem.'

'I just want to give you a heads up on what might happen today.'

'Hmm, I'm listening.'

'The Student Council President will come meet you today.'

'I see but what does he want?'

'It will be better to hear it from his mouth.'

I said but I gave Rin a background on what the meeting will be about.

'Yeah, I'm sure you've heard of the name Nagumo.'

I said.

'Yeah the kid from Class 2A.'

'Yeah him, don't let your guard down around that guy.'

'Have you met him?'

'Yeah.'

I then explained to Rin about my encounter with Nagumo.

'So he wants you to play with him once the President graduates.'

'Unfortunately yes.'

I answered.

'I see. We shouldn't worry about him, we have bigger problems ahead of us and if Nagumo bothers us we could just one punch him.'

Rin and I started laughing and then we spoke about Kei and other stuff.

'Speaking of relationships have you found a girl you like.'

I asked.

'No comment.'

He replied.

'I will take that as a yes.'

I tried interrogating him on the matter but he did not budge and we spoke about a few things and then ended the call.

For now I will wait and see what Sakayanagi does, I can't tell my brother about her yet. I have to speak to Akito today, I threw myself on the bed thinking of what the future has in store.

Rin POV

After my call with Kiyo. I confirmed today might be a interesting day. I stood up and headed to the shower. I took a bit longer in the shower, made my breakfast. I then left my place around the time class normally starts.

As I was about to exit the building the receptionist called me.

"Excuse me could you please take this documents to Hoshimiya sensei, she forgot them on my desk."

I took the documents. Why must it be Hoshimiya? Looking at the time she was having a lesson.

"Okay."

I said.

I started walking towards the first year class' building. I hope she does not remember that I knocked her out that night.

Meanwhile at the 2nd year Class Building

Third Person POV

A group of class A students were walking down the second year corridors. All the second year students from class C and D made way for this students in the corridor as if they were royalty. Although class B students were not kissing Class A's a* yet but with the defeats class B kept receiving from class A, their time was coming. The group consisted of Nagumo, Tonkawa, Mizowaki, Nazuna and his other classmates and friends.

Nagumo mission today was to visit Kiryama's class and meet the new transfer student.

"Good morning Nagumo/Miyabi."

Many girls kept saying at him as he was walking past them. His reputation made him very popular amongst the female students.

They finally arrived in front of Class 2B.

"I will be going to class. Try not to cause problems for Kiryama, Miyabi."

Nazuna one of Nagumo's classmates said as she left with the girls and headed towards their classroom.

"I will try."

Replied Nagumo with a grin.

Nagumo was now left with some of his male classmates and friends.They were about six

Almost every student from Class 2B had already arrived. Kiryama too had arrived.

Nagumo and his friends walked into the classroom and everyone looked towards the door. The atmosphere got a bit heavy. The 2B students all stared quietly, Kiryama walked towards Nagumo as he was one of the people from Class 2B that could speak to him casually.

"Nagumo, what are you doing here?"

Kiryama said.

"What's this, can't I visit a friend."

Replied Nagumo.

"Friend? Since when did you have friends from our Class."

Mikitani interuppted.

"My my, aren't we all second years friends."

"After what you've put our class through, you want us to call you friend."

"Aren't you just trying to find excuses for your girlfriend leaving you for us."

One of Nagumo's friends said.

A fight almost broke out early in the morning between Mikitani and Nagumo's friend. This was how things usually turned out when the Class A boys and Class B boys met.

Nagumo got bored of challenging Kiryama and switched his attention to President Horikita. He had 5 students expelled from Kiryama's class and it was believed he had spies in the class too.

"Kiryama, where's your new classmate?"

Nagumo said as he noticed a new desk was added to the classroom and knew that was the new guy's table.

"Do you see him?"

One of the 2B boys said.

"He wasn't talking to you."

A 2A boy added.

"What do you want from him Nagumo."

Asked Kiryama in a serious tone.

"As the head of the second years and soon to be President. I wanted to welcome the new guy."

As Nagumo and his friends were waiting for Rin they started talking with some of the 2B girls.

Rin POV

I made it to the first year class building. I walked past Class 1A and noticed Mashima sensei was teaching I got a glimpse of all his students, they were all focused on the board. I noticed Masumi, she had a stiff expression on her face.

'Is that her face when I'm not around.'

I thought.

In front of Masumi sat someone I was very familiar with. It was Alice, luckily she had not noticed me. Soon or later I will have to meet her.

The students did not notice me walk past their class. I finally arrived outside Class 1B.

'Hope she's at least professional in front of her students.'

I then knocked on her door.

"Come in."

I heard the voice it belonged to Hoshimiya. From behind the door I could already feel that gazes were directed at the door. I then opened the door and walked in.

"Oyahoo."

Hosjimiya said quickly rushing in front of me.

"Good morning Hoshimiya sensei."

"Don't be boring that's not how you spoke to me that night."

Eh?

"I brought your documents that you left behind."

I said that putting the documents between her chest and mine. Which allowed me to take a step back away from her.

She took the documents and said.

"Thanks cutie."

Yep. She's definately not professional.

"You know, my head has been aching since that night, do you perhaps know what happened?"

She said while touching the back of her head.

"No."

I replied.

She then stared at my eyes but I wasn't fazed at it.

"You know, since you here why don't you meet my students."

Ichinose POV

Looking at the student talking to Sensei he was a upperclass man. We couldn't hear what they were talking about, but Sensei kept going close to him.

Chihiro-san and all the other girls stared at male upperclassman with blushing faces.

"We should hide our girls from that guy."

Shibata said.

"Yeah."

A lot of the other guys started commenting.

"Guys, don't say that."

I said.

"My, look even Honami can't resist him."

Ando said.

(Ando is the girl that looks like Yagami.)

"No..don't..say that."

The boys kept speaking on how dangerous the Senpai is for their girlfriends.

I looked at the senpai again, he kinda reminds me of Ayanokouji. No,no I nodded. Maybe I'm just overthinking.

I will ask Nagumo about him.

Rin POV

"Sensei, you have students to teach so I will be leaving."

"You are no fun."

She said trying to grab my hand.

I looked at her students and managed to remember all their faces.

Hoshimiya noticed me starring at her students and said.

"Are you perhaps looking for a girlfriend?"

She said while winking.

I did not respond.

She then walked in front of one her female students.

"You can have Honami."

She said pointing at the student.

"Sensei, what are you saying?"

The female student replied while stammering a bit.

Honami? I've heard her name before. I noticed this was a great opportunity to escape, I bowed towards Hoshimiya and left.

"Goodbye Sensei."

I said closing the door behind me.

Just down the corridor was Kiyo's class. I would have passed by his class but that would attract more attention.

I quickly walked past class 1A.

As I exited the building, my phone vibrated.

It was a text with a image it came from one of my classmates.

The image contained a blonde kid sitting on my chair with his legs on my desk.

'Don't come till homeroom starts Nagumo is waiting for you.'

Looks like I'm officially on Nagumo's radar. I would have gone to class to meet him, but I have to meet the President first before crossing paths with Nagumo.

There was still time before homeroom.

What should I do in the meantime?

I was now sitting on a couch in the second year dorm lobby waiting for someone.

The elevator doors opened.

"Darling, did I keep you waiting?"

Fuka asked as she was approaching me.

"No just I got here. Shall we?"

I said.

We headed towards the mall to have some coffee and I told her about my job.

Third person POV

Meanwhile in Class 2B

Nagumo was sitting on Rin's chair with both his legs on the table. He and his friends had come to see Rin but he had not yet arrived and homeroom was just a few minutes away

"Nagumo, what are you doing?"

"I'm just having sit."

"But that's not how sit on someone desk."

A Class 2B girl said.

"Looks like this new kid has some groupies."

Nagumo's friend said sounding a bit sarcastic.

The bell rang.

Nagumo failed to meet Rin. Once Nagumo and his friends left.

The students were asking Kiryama what was that all about.

Rin POV

I arrived to class with Sensei and Fuka. When I got in I could feel stares directed at me but ignored them cause I had a idea on what had happened already.

I sat on my chair and noticed my desk had some dirt this was probably from Nagumo's shoes. I asked Fuka for tissue to wipe it.

Class then started.

"The year is almost over."

Sensei said as she wrote on the board.

'Summer sports festival.'

Looks like a exam. The mood in the classroom got serious as a few details on the exam were explained. The festival will take place the day after the election. So it was next week. The festival will be a inter year sports festival. All the sports will be water based.

She just gave us a background idea on the festival while more details will be revealed at a later stage.

"Sensei do we have to wear the school's swimsuits."

A girl asked.

More girls started raising complaints on how ugly the school's swimsuits were.

While the boys were excited about the exam.

Kiryama said discussions on the participants of the exams will be discussed starting from tomorrow.

Time skip(Afterschool)

I made it to the restaurant, I spoke to the manager, he introduced me to my new work mates. I had to make a dish to show manager my cooking skills and he fell in love with the dish. I chose this restaurant cause it was hardly full which meant less work. Customers came placed their orders while I was in the kitchen making their meals.

It was now time to lock up, Kiyo had informed me to not leave yet. Only sounds of dishes been washed could be heard in the restaurant. I left the kitchen to get some plates from the tables and I noticed a couple had occupied one of the tables, why are they here?

I asked myself.

I approached the pair, they then stared at me when they noticed my presence.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

I said.

"No, thank you."

The short girl replied.

The male student then said.

"Don't mind us, we are just waiting for someone."

"I see."

I knew who the male student was, it was the Student Council President. He had come to meet me. I will wait till Kiyo arrives before letting them know I'm the one they looking for.

The girl then spoke.

"President, do you think that kouhai gave us the right information?"

"Yes, we will just have to wait and see if it's true or not."

"You really trust that first year, President?"

They were talking about Kiyo. It looks like the girl does not like him.

Before the President could respond Kiyo had arrived.

"Speaking of the devil."

The girl said while giving Kiyo a cold glare.

Kiyo ignored her and said.

"Have you met him yet?"

The President nodded.

"I see."

"Hey hey, don't you know how to greet your senpais."

The girl said to Kiyo.

"Why don't you join us?"

The President said.

Kiyo took the offer and sat.

I went back to kitchen, packed my tools and changed back into my school uniform. I took a package which contained the dinner I had made for me and Kiyo.

I went towards the table and sat next to Kiyo. The girl had a surprised a expression and the President to but he managed to hide it well.

"Shall we."

I said

"So you are Ayanakuji Rin?"

I nodded.

"It's a honor to meet you Horikita."

I said offering him a firm handshake.

"This is my secretary Tachibana."

Tachibana offered me a handshake which I accepted.

"Ahh, Tachibana can smile."

Kiyo said and Tachibana stiffened her face sending a death glare at Kiyo.

"Let's get to business."

I said.

"As you have heard the elections are coming."

"I heard about that."

"I see, and I'm sure you've heard the outcome has already been decided."

I nodded.

He then carried on.

"I don't think my successor is worthy of the position."

By successor he meant Nagumo.

"What's that got to do with me? I'm just the new guy here."

"Your little brother is someone I acknowledge, and I've offered him a positions to join the council which he all turned down."

"So you wanted my brother to run for president in order to stop Nagumo?"

He nodded.

"I see, so Horikita tell me why don't want Nagumo as your successor?"

He then started explaining.

The reason why Horikita does not want Nagumo to succeed him is that Horikita wants to protect the school's current system. Horikita viewed classes as a society wereby each student with their respective strengths and weakness could help each other overcome any obstacle, he believed no can survive without having to rely on another person which was indeed true, that's why the exams usually rewarded class points allowing a class to rise to the top as a whole. Nagumo on the other hand wants to change the system, he plans on making the system more individual merited which meant that only those with worthy abilities should be at the top even if it meant betraying his/her own class, simply a system were the powerful were at the top and the weak at the bottom. A survival of the fittest type of thing.

Nagumo's ideal was not just going to affect Horikita's ideals but the foundation of the school's ideal as well. For a high school this school had many politics going on behind the scenes.

"Besides wanting my brother to join you , who do you have on your side?"

"I have Kiryama and a few second years."

"Kiryama, I wouldn't place my hopes on that guy."

I said which surprised Horikita.

"What do you mean?"

He asked.

"From observing that guy, although others may not notice it but he is the most desperate person in my class that wants to get to Class A. I see him switching to Nagumo's side just to get a spot in Class A."

Kiryama has no reason to protect Horikita's ideals becuase Nagumo's system will be very beneficial to him.

"You are right about that. "

Horikita then cleared his throat and said.

"Can I count on you to stop Nagumo?"

I had only come to this school to be with my brother and with our dad sending someone to take over as director. one way or another Nagumo would get involved into it due to his position.

"I won't give you a answer now, I will wait and see how things turn up. "

"I understand."

He said.

It was late. Tachibana left and I told Kiyo to go my place to prepare dinner.

It was now left me and Horikita we were outside looking at the school the buildings.

We exchanged words on a few topics. I even asked if he and Tachibana were a couple which he denied. From the words we exchanged we got an idea on each other's abilities.

"I guess I will be leaving."

Horikita said.

Kiyo had told me what happened when he first met Horikita.

I decided to throw a light fist at him which he dodged.

He then lifted his glasses and said.

"Let me guess you also do piano and calligraphy."

What is he talking about?

I did not reply, I then sent another punch with a bit of force which was to fast for his eyes to keep up with it so he fell on the ground.

"I heard what you did to my brother that night so this is a bit of payback."

I streched my hand helping him get up.

"Looks like I've met someone I can look up to."

He said.

"You too are worthy of my respect."

I replied.

"You can call me Rin."

"You can call me Manabu."

We then bid farewell.

Kiyo POV

After having dinner with my brother. I went and met up with Akito. The reason he kept staring at me was because ,he noticed I was feeling down which surprised me. He such a great chad.

I thought.

'Summer sports festival.'

Horikita asked me to help her prepare for it.

Nagumo will surely attack Horikita in this exam.

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE CHAPTER. I'M PLANNING ON REDUCING THE LENGTH OF MY CHAPTERS SO I CAN RELEASE AROUND 2 CHAPTERS A WEEK AND TO WORK ON ANOTHER FANFIC MAYBE. Just let me know if you guys prefer long chapters but once a week)

Ciao

Chapter 10: Fight

Kiyo POV

Wednesday

I made my way to the classroom. Almost everyone had arrived. I waved at Haruka and other members of the Ayanokouji group and went to my sit. For some reason my classmates were starring at my face I ignored it and went to my seat.

"Good morning Horikita."

"Good morning Ayanokouji."

She was still staring at me.

"Is something the matter?"

I asked.

"You seem different."

"What do you mean?"

"Never mind."

She said.

"I see."

I took out my phone and sent a text to Kei who was talking to her friends.

'Hey, are you free tonight.'

I saw her excuse herself from her friends to read my text.

She read my text and sent a confused look at me.

'Yeah, what's up?'

'My brother is inviting us to dinner.'

'I will be there.'

Just like me, Kei also enjoyed my brother's cooking. I then sent her the details.

She then sent a heart emoji.

I sent one back too.

I felt my lips curving.

I saw Kei secretly giggling as she went back to her friends.

"Ayanokouji, you seem to be enjoying yourself."

Horikita said.

"No it's nothing."

Homeroom then started.

No cameras allowed

Only school swimsuits allowed

The rewards seemed better than the previous festival.

Hirata was the first to raise his hand.

"Yes Hirata."

"Is expulsion a penatly?"

"No."

The classroom calmed down a bit.

Some girls started raising complaints on why only school swimsuits were allowed.

While Ike and Yamauchi were whispering about the water gun event and how they were exited to see the girls in swimsuits.

Digusted looks were sent their way.

"The school will be giving you time till lunch break to strategize for the event and use one of the pools."

Sensei left the classroom.

Horikita and Hirata then walked on the poduim.

"We have no time waste so can we show by hands who..."

Horikita was cut by Kouenji who said something surprisingly.

"Horikita girl, I will take the springboard diving event."

The classroom was surprised.

Sudo then spoke.

"Let me do it Suzane?"

"Red hair boy, you are not worthy of playing with big boy toys."

Normally this would have angered Sudo but over the past months his atitude and behaviour was changing so he did not respond.

The 3m springboard was the hardest event compared to the others only exceptional high school students would be able to handle it.

"Sudo can you leave this to Kounji I have different plans for you."

Sudo gave a nod indicating he agreed.

"Guess my time here is up."

Kouenji said as he stood up.

Before he left the classroom he said something.

"Get ready to witness perfection."

He left the classroom while proudly laughing.

So he's only taking part in the event to show off his skills and this was also the event that the whole school would want to witness. I wonder how he will pull it off.

Hirata and Horikita took down the names of people that volunteered to participate. After the attention I attaracted in the previous event I will just take part as a reserve member this time around. Horikita then gave details on when and how will participate in the event as we headed to the pool, for some light training.

Meanwhile in one of the swimming facilities

Rin POV

We were sharing the facilty with Class 2D. Class 2D was using the other pool while we had the other. Fuka and the other students were seated on the stands as they were not going to participate in the festival. I hadn't received my swimsuit yet so I was just helping with recording my classmates' swimming time.

We had candidates for the events already. It took us an hour to figure out who should do the springboard event, Kiryama and the others came to a conclusion that Mikitani will be the one to take care of the event. Everything went smoothly, seeing some of the girls in swimsuits was a blessing. After we finished pratice we mingled with some of 2d students before heading to cafeteria for lunch.

I went to the cafeteria with Fuka and other girls. It wasn't full yet so getting a table was easy.

We sat at the upper level of the cafeteria. Students started flooding the cafeteria, sudent council members weren't present as they had a meeting.

"Looks like you are famous Ayanokouji."

My female classmate said.

"What do you mean?"

I asked.

I followed her gaze and noticed many of the girls from other second year classes and third years too were starring at me with sparkly eyes.

Bang

My classmate banged the table with her chopsticks.

"What's up,"

My male friend asked.

"Ayanokouji, if you happen to date can you atleast date a girl from our class, I don't think we will handle seeing you going out with the enemy."

The other girls nodded to her statement in agreemant.

Enemy?

Was this a girl thing.

"I hope so."

I said sending a wink at Fuka.

We then cahtted on trival topics, many female eyes were on me.

Third person POV

Rin was watching a second year student who was trying to throw a plastic bowl of yougurt into the bin from a distance but the worse happened the bowl landed on another student's head, covering the student's hair with yougurt that kept dripping towards his face.

"Woah."

Was the reaction of most of the students in cafeteria, some were giggling and laughing. The student took a bowl of soup one of his friends in his table was eating, he then stood up and walked towards the guy that threw the youghurt at him.

"Sorry, it was a mistake."

The student kept repeating, but it wasn't getting to the angry student.

The angry student dumped the bowl of soup over the guy's head.

"Ewww."

People said.

A male student from Class 2D stood and up yelled.

"FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!"

Rin POV

Food started flying in the cafeteria. Soup, sushi, rice, meat, juice and more were been thrown. It was like a world war of food. The guys in my table joined in too. I wrapped my hand around Fuka taking her under table with me. The side of our faces were touching.

"Its hectic."

She said.

"Indeed."

I replied.

We then got out from under the table. We were under the table for less than a minute but the way most students and the walls were covered in food, you'd think this so called war was going on for hours.

I looked at Fuka who was still clean. She was laughing at the scene. I then placed my hand behind her knees with my other hand behind her back picking her up like a princess.

"My..."

She said hiding her face in my chest. I never thought I would see the day of her been shy.

I kept dodging what was been thrown in my path as I was heading for the closest exit from our table. I noticed the student council had arrived excluding the third year members and Manabu. It was my first time seeing Nagumo but in this current situation the possibility of him noticing me was very low, Kiryama and the other members were trying to calm the problem but they just kept on getting hit with food, Nagumo used the other members to protect himself from the waves of food, I got to the exit but I noticed Fuka had a bowl of curry in her hand.

What's that for?

I thought.

Before we could exit.

"Can I?"

She said with a devilsh looking smile.

What is she planning?

I just nodded to her request.

She got off me and threw the curry at someone.

Plack.

It landed behind Nagumo's head.

"I missed."

She said while pouting.

I patted her head and said.

"Let's go."

We then exited, while laughing as we headed to our classroom. We had made it out with no food stain on us.

Timeskip

Third person POV

It took about 15 minutes for the war to conclude, teachers were involved and even some guards had to come stop it. It was a complete disaster.

Students were all seated in their classes, some students found it funny while the atmosphere in other classrooms was tense. Teachers were shouting at students that had the most food covered on them. The whole school was waiting to hear what the President had to say on the matter.

Intercom went on.

"It's on."

A voice said on the intercorm.

"I'm truly disappointed ,this is not something I'd expect from students here at ANHS. As a punishment every single student will have 75 000pp subtracted from them."

As Horikita said this.

Complaints were heard coming from most classrooms.

Older Horikita then continued with his announcement.

"250 class points will be subtracted from every single class."

Classmates yelled at each other for participating in the incident, but no student raised a complaint cause nothing would change.

Rin POV

Many classes lost important and hard earned class points because of this, but this meant that in the sports festival and upcoming exams the competition will be tough as classes will be aiming to regain those lost points.

After the announcement, the school day ended early. Students did not remain in class like usual as most of them went to their dorms to get clean.

Another punishment was that the price for laundry services this week increased as lots of students had planned on taking their uniforms there.

"Hey, can you come to my place tonight?"

"Sure no problem darlin."

Fuka replied.

I spoke a bit with some of my classmates that were still in class, then headed for work.

Time skip.

Kiyo POV

Today's lunch time incident was interesting the Ayanokouji Group and I were not dirty cause by the time we got to cafeferia , the war was taking place so we just watched from outside. Sae sensei yelled at the class especially Ike, Yamauchi, Professor and the others as the were covered in food from head to toe. Horikita was surprised at her brother's punishment and realized she has to step up her game cause we lost a lot of points just when we were catching up to Class C.

I took a plastic bag that contained items my brother asked me to get and went to meet Kei then head to his place. My relationship with Kei was still private so if someone had to see us this late they would suspect us. Kei told me to not worry about that cause she had a plan. I went to a location where I was meeting with Kei, she had not yet arrived so I waited.

"Boo."

I heard someone say behind me.

"Kei, is that you."

"Yep, did I scare you?"

"A bit."

"But your face says the opposite. You are no fun."

She said followed by her pouting.

Kei wore a long coat and a hat which disguised her. The coat belonged to me. Now that I analyzed her, she looked sexy in it. I thought.

We then headed to Rin's building.

The receptionist let us through.

We were now in the elevator.

"Are you sure students are allowed here ?"

Kei asked feeling a bit concerned.

"Yeah, I come here when I'm not with you at night."

"I see, the place is amazing. Does our homeroom teacher live here too?"

I nodded.

As the elevator doors opened I grabbed Kei' hands and quickly walked for Rin's place.

Kei was shocked and blushing at the same time...

Rin POV

"Your place is amazing, maybe I should spend a night here."

Fuka said with a grin, her words had a hdden meaning which I clearly understood.

"That sounds great but every night sounds better."

I said as I sat next to her on the couch.

Silence then fell upon us. This was the first time Fuka and I had no words to say to each other. I placed my glass on the table and stared at her eyes which were starring back at mine. I placed my hand on her cheeks shifting her long hair back, our faces then started moving towards each other. She titled her face a bit to the right and just when our lips could touch I heard the door opening and we quickly separated from each other.

Third person POV

Kiyo opened the door and him and Kei both walked in, seeing Rin with another girl together alone. They were both surprised. Kiyo and Kei both looked at each other then back at Rin and the girl. The four of them were all starring at each other.

"Ahem, are we disturbing?"

Kiyo and Kei both asked.

"No."

Rin replied as he stood up and walked towards Kiyo and Kei. Kiyo handed him the plastic bag while both him and Kei were still starring at the unifamilar girl sitted on the couch.

Rin noticed this and said.

"Fuka meet my brother , Kiyotaka and my sister in law Kei Karuizawa."

A blush grew on Kei's face as she hid her face behind Kiyo.

"I finally get to meet darlin's brother and his girlfriend."

Fuka said as she walked towards them and gave them a hug at the same time.

They all settled down.

Kei removed the hat and coat. Making herself comfortable.

The four of them spoke. Fuka remembered Kiyo from his race with the President, Fuka teased Kiyo and Kei a lot, she and Kei got along quickly as they had many things in common. They played board and couple games, which Rin asked Kiyo to buy.

Since this was a special night. Rin made one of his best dishes which they all enjoyed.

Rin POV

I was in the kitchen getting dessert ready.

'They got along better than I expected.'

Kiyo walked into the kitchen.

He was wondering what's my relationship with Fuka.

"We not dating "

Before he said something.

U then added.

"Yet."

He smiled and said.

"I won't mind having her as a in law."

"Since when were you the type to tease."

I said.

We both laughed.

"Looks like the boys are having fun."

Kiyo and I heard Fuka and Kei say.

"We just having a men talk."

Kiyo was the one who replied.

"I see, guess we can have a ladies talk too."

Fuka looked at Kei .

"So Kei have you and kouhai-kun done it yet?"

Kei got red thinking about It. Kiyo realised that Fuka was about to start a uncomfortable talk with Kei so he left the kitchen and joined the girls to stop Fuka from pursuing on the topic.

From the kitchen I looked at the three of them thinking on how priceless this moment was.

Third Person POV

Rin took a picture of the three of them and returned his phone back in his pocket.

"Dessert is ready."

He said as he approached the group that was excitedly waiting for him.

A message was sent to students containing the details on the group for sports festival.

Group A : 3A, 3D, 2B, 2D, 1C and 1D

Group B : 3B, 3C, 2A, 2C, 1A and 1B

(Thank you for reading. If you maybe want me to make changes with the groups feel free to share in the comments. Rules of the festival may change depending on how I write the sports festival. Thank You.)

Chapter 11

Kiyo POV

Last night was great. Rin's food was great and Fuka senpai is a interesting person, although she teases a lot. I got out of my bed. Older Horikita and Nagumo been in seprate groups is something Nagumo will be excited for as this will be their final showdown.That's how it seems to Nagumo.

I left my place and headed to class.

On my way I met Kushida.

"Good morning Ayanokouji."

"Morning."

"Let's walk together."

She said.

I nodded.

Kushida fitted the line, 'she's whiskey in a teacup.'

"So, Ayanokouji are you going to surprise us like in the previous sports festival?"

"I will just do my best."

I said.

She starred at me and said.

"I see."

For this exam Kushida can't pull the same trick she used in the previous exam. The upperclassman in our group will easily notice what's going on and Ryuuen is in the same group as us, so if Kushida puts us at a disadvantage Ryuuen will definitely do something to her, since he hates losing although I still wonder if he's back at leading his class.

"Let's do our best, this time."

She said.

I nodded.

She then started speaking on some trivial matters.

"Kushida."

"Yes."

She said looking at me.

"I heard there's a new second year student, is that true?"

She had a surprise look on her face when I asked her cause she was one of the most popular students in our school and she knew almost everyone.

"No, I haven't heard about it, but I will check."

"I see."

"I'm kinda jealous you know?"

"Why?"

"I mean I'm the popular one when compared to you, so I'm supposed to be the one having more access to this type of news instead of you."

She said looking into my eyes.

"I just overheard a few senpais talking about it."

"I see."

We then spoke about the food fight that happened yesterday, it was a big topic among students, the Ayanokouji Group even spoke about it last night in the group chat.

We arrived to class I went to my seat while Kushida went to greet our other classmates.

Horikita then spoke to me about the sports festival and the sports she plans on participating in . I could tell she was looking forward to been in the same group with her brother.

Sae sensei arrived and lessons started.

Timeskip

Rin POV

Break time arrived.

I was heading for Manabu's office, he had invited me to join him for break in his office. They had no meeting today so Nagumo would not be around in the student council area.

I arrived and found Tachibana.

"Good morning Rin."

She said with a bow.

"Morning Tachibana."

She then walked me to Manabu's office.

"Where did your young brother learn his manners?"

She asked.

"What do you mean?"

I asked.

"He has no respect for his senpais and the president too."

"I see, I will talk to him."

Maybe Kiyo enjoyed provoking Tachibana.

Tachibana knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The voice replied.

We walked into the office. Manabu's office had trohpies, and some bookshelves. It had a few things but what surprised me was that there were some boxes in the room it was like he was packing.

"It's a honour for you to join me today, Rin."

He said.

"I could say the same."

I said as we both shook hands, and he offered me a seat which I accepted.

Tachibana served us tea with cookies, she then went to one of the desks that was in Manabu's office and she started filling some documents.

Manabu and I took a sip as we were seated on a single couch facing each other.

"You seem pretty relaxed considering the mess that happened yesterday."

"I've dealt with the matter, so it be a bit pointless thinking about it."

"I see, the punishment you gave was not bad."

"I tried to show no favoritism on the matter."

We spoke about some matters regarding how the student council operated.

"Seems like you ready to say farewell to the school."

I said while sending my gaze at the boxes in the room.

He noticed what I was talking about and said.

"Yeah, I plan on sending most of my stuff home soon."

"I see."

"You know Rin senpai..."

I cut him off

"Manabu, having you call me senpai does not sit well with me."

"I acknowledge you and you are older than me."

He said.

"You are the student sittng in the highest seat at this school so calling a student like me your senpai does not sit well with me."

"You are really a humble man Rin-senpai."

"Not you too Tachibana."

I said as I turned my attention towards her.

"I just being honest."

She said as she carried on speaking.

"You know, a lot of the third year girls have been talking about you, they calling you the 'mysterious man'."

That was understandable as I encountered most of the third year girls yeaterday in the cafeteria.

"I'm sure as we speak they are looking for you in your class."

Manabu said with a grin.

"I never expected you to be into this type of stuff, Manabu."

I said.

"I'm surprised as well."

Tachibana said.

"You know I've been wanting to ask, are you two dating."

I saw Tachibana drop the books she was taking from the shelf.

"No. "

They both replied.

"I see."

I said with a smirk.

"Is it your brother that told you that?"

Tachibana asked.

I nodded.

Manabu then asked a question which surprised Tachibana.

"Rin, how do you know you are in love with a girl?"

Tachibana was shocked to hear this words come out of Manabu's mouth. I did not know much about love as well, I will give him a average answer.

"Too be honest I too do not understand the topic as well but all I can say is that when the time comes, you will begin to feel some warmth and love in your chest, the feeling will be instantly recognizable and visible when you are with the person no matter how much you try to hide it. The fact that you are asking me this should be a pretty good hint about your feelings towards the person in your mind right now."

As I said that I sent a wink at both Tachibana and Manabu.

' Such an amazing answer from a reliable man '

Manabu thought.

Tachibana blushed at my statement.

"As I was saying, calling you senpai feels right with me."

He changed the topic.

"Mind telling me why."

"From the little encounter I've had with your brother I got to pick off how extra odinary he is and now as I'm sitting with you the older brother. My hunch tells me you are no ordinary human and a person who practices piano and calligraphy is not weak."

I put down my cup and said.

"I see, it's truly a honour for you too think highly of me. I also acknowledge what you have done in the school and what you have achieved, but all I can say is that you have lots of potential Manabu, if you don't grow once you live this school that will be wasted potential."

He nodded to my statement.

"What type of relationship do you have with Nagumo."

I asked him.

He told me that, when Nagumo was a first year Manabu saw potential in him, Nagumo looked up to Manabu but pride got the better of Nagumo, he started challenging Manabu, Manabu wasn't one to take part in this type of things. Nagumo eventually started thinking he was better than him. He also said the school might suffer under Nagumo's leadership and says it's his fault.

We wanted to speak more but break was over. So we then left for class.

The day went as normal but I noticed 3 guys from my class were acting a bit suspicious when our class was having practice for the swimming events, I decided to ignore it.

Third Person POV

Timeskip

( During the days that passed in the timeskip. Nothing much had happened, Kiyo and his class were preparing for the upcoming festival, Rin's days went the same as always only difference is that he spent his breaks in Manabu's office. Besides that nothing much happened.)

Wednesday ( Day before the elections)

Rin POV

I was in Manabu's office sitting while he was taking out a chessboard from one of his shelves. During the time I've spent with Manabu. I noticed he and I had a few things in common we both had a younger sibling that we wanted to see grow although Manabu was a bit harsh to his younger sister, he said he was doing it to bring out his sister's best. I also got to know that my brother is friends with Manabu's sister. I had a call with Kiyo last night and he explained to me about his relationship with Suzune Horikita.

Manabu then sat as he put the glass chessboard on the table and said.

"Its been long since I last played."

"Yeah, I could say the same."

I replied as we both started organizing the pieces to their respective blocks.

The first game started he played as white while I played as black.

Tachibana was working on some documents.

T hird Person POV

Tonokowa,the student council secretary, Nagumo's classmate and friend. Was in the student council lobby, when he was walking past Manabu's office, he could hear laughter coming from the office. He stopped in front of the door and was surprised to hear President Horkita laughing, he drew his face closer to the door to hear what's going on inside. He could not hear anything as no voice was heard but after a while he heard the following.

"Checkmate already, looks like Rin is destorying you President."

It was Tachibana's voice.

Tonokawa managed to hear Tachibana's voice because she was not far from the door.

Rin?

Tonokawa thought.

He had heard the name before but he couldn't get his finger on who the person was. He then took out his phone and sent a text.

Meanwhile in Pallet Cafe

Nagumo was spending his break at Pallet Cafe with some of his classmates and friends, Nazuna was with him as well.

His phone vibrated and he looked at it.

It was a text from Tonokawa which read.

'The President is with a person called Rin in his office.'

Nagumo thought a bit and then realized it was the name of Kiryama's new classmate. Nagumo then let out smirk and stood up.

"I'm heading to see the President."

He said.

His friends questioned why? but he did not respond and just had a smirk on his face. Nazuna noticed something might happen she then stood up and followed, Mizowaki a student council member, followed them as well telling the others to remain.

Nagumo arrived to the Student Council section and noticed only Tonokawa was present and asked.

"Are they still inside?"

Tonokawa nodded.

"Perfect."

He said with his usual smirk.

This was finally Nagumo's chance to see this new student and if he had connections with the first year Ayanokouji.

Nazuna did not understand what they were talking about.

Nagumo, Tonokawa and Mizowaki all walked towards President Horikita's office, while Nazuna watched from the Student Council lobby. As Nagumo was about to knock the door opened and it was Tachibana that walked out. Nagumo got a peak from the door and he saw the President sitting and talking to another student which was Rin, he only got see Rin's back and hair. Tachibana noticed the three boys starring inside and she quickly closed the door.

"The President is busy right now."

She said to Nagumo and co.

"Yes senapi."

They replied.

Nagumo tried having a chat with Tachibana to get her to leak what was going on in the office but failed, Tachibana then started having a chat with Nazuna while Nagumo sat on the chairs in the lobby. He knew no matter how long he had to wait, the President and Rin will eventually have to come out by the time break ends.

Rin POV

"You are not bad Manabu."

I said.

"Are you trying to consoul me, I lost all 11 games."

He said while taking heavy sigh.

Manabu failed to win a game or even come close to giving me a check but he was not bad compared to your average student.

He started packing the pieces and retruned them to the shelve.

During our game, I had noticed some kid was trying to earsdrop on our conversation, and when Tachibana exited the room. I noticed Nagumo and two other guys were outside the door.

I guess I will be meeting Nagumo today.

The bell rang indicating break was over, Manabu and I exited his office.

As we were heading for the lobby, I noticed Tachibana was talking to a female student while two other male students were working on some stuff, a blonde kid was sitting with authority so this is Nagumo.

They all starred at us queitly, Nagumo stood up and walked towards us.

"I've been waiting for you President."

He said.

"I don't remeber us having a meeting today."

"I just wanted to discuss a few things about tomorow's elections."

" I see."

I did not stop like Manabu as I was about to walk past Nagumo, he stretch out his hand in front of my face blocking my way.

Nagumo then shifted his gaze at me, he was shorter than me, so he was looking up at me.

"So you the new kid."

He said with a smirk. It seems like he is trying to provoke me.

I guess I will do what Kiyotaka does in this type of situatuions.

I nodded.

"Can't you talk?"

He said trying to tease me.

"Class has started and I wouldn't want to be late and cost my classmates class points."

I said.

"Looks like he has been influnced by Kiryama."

One of the boys said. As the other started laughing.

"Oh come on, a few minutes wouldn't hurt right and if you had to tell them you were with me they won't punish you."

He said.

"And why is that?"

I asked.

"I'm the best student in the school and everyone here respects me and does what I say."

Best student?

I thought April's fool day passed long ago, maybe Nagumo was a fool everyday.

Don't make me laugh I doubt you are even the best blonde in the school.

(Meanwhile Kouenji in a different location let out a sneeze.)

I did not say my thoughts to his face.

"I see. I've heard about you."

"Is that so."

I nodded.

"A student enrolling the way you did sounds sketchy what did you do?"

"What's this? I thought the Chairman told the important students about my enrollment , seems like you are not important after all."

I said with a smirk. I thought I sounded like Fuka for a second.

Tachibana and the other girl let out a giggle.
I noticed the two guy's behind Nagumo sending a stare at me.

"Kukuku, you are a interesting one, Ayanokouji. Let's play next year when we are third years. There's another kid with same last name as yours and apparently he is the President's favorite kouhai. Are you perhaps familar with that kouhai?"

"He's my brother."

"Interesting I guess I will have you two brothers relieve my boredom next year."

He said.

"Really?"

I said.

"Judging from your face, I'm sure the girls in your class have taken a liking into you."

"Are you perhaps arrived I might steal your female classmates."

"We'd like see you try."

It was one of Nagumo's friends who said that.

I looked at him and said the following in English.

"Close your mouth, filler character."

Nobody in the room understood what I said

"Say it in Japanese, are you messing with him."

"Tonokowa."

Manabu said.

The student then kept quiet.

"Your English sounds very good."

It was Tachibana who said that, trying to calm the atmosphere.

"I did not understand what you said, but I too can speak English."

Nagumo then said.

"Me play with you and brother third year."

Although he's English was bad, I managed to pick up what he meant.

I nodded

He then turned his attention towards Manabu and said.

"President looks like this Friday will my last match with you."

"I do not know what you are talking about."

He let out a laugh and said a few words to the President.

I managed to pick up things about Nagumo's character.

"I will be heading to class."

I said

"You and I still have a lot of things to talk about."

Nagumo said trying to get into my way, but I easily walked past him. The two guys then stood in front of me but i easily managed to get past them as I left I sent a gaze at the female student that was standing besides Tachibana and exited the lobby.

"I will have fun playing with you."

I heard Nagumo say.

I just let out a chuckle.

The day ended as normal.

Thursday (election day)

The second and third years were gathered in the gymnasium, we were lined up in our respective class the boys were lined separately from the girls. Each class had two lines one for girls and the other for boys.

I got many stares from students of the third years and other second year classes. My height and looks made me stand out a lot.

It was very hot in the gymnasium, I could hear whispers of people complaining. On stage were the Student Council members, so the two boys that were with Nagumo yesterday their names were Mizowaki and Tonokawa.

Manabu gave details on how the voting will work. Then both the candidates had to say a speech before we start voting.

Nagumo said his speech. In his speech he included that he would be introducing a app next year which he did not give details about. During his speech he had a grin after his speech students applauded. It was now Kiryama's turn the guy spoke for a while.

I could see some students were bored and tired.

"What's up with Kiryama, he said he lost already so why is giving a long speech like it would make a difference."

One of my female classmates said with a angry expression, and others started whispering on the matter.

Finally Kiryama was done with his speech. The crowd applauded but only a few students did it.

'At least they clapped.'

I thought.

It was time for us to vote, we were given a paper which contained the names of the candidates.

I ticked the name of the person I voted for and put the paper in a box which the teachers had.

The results would be announced next week although we all knew the outcome already.

Time skip

I was in my bed thinking about how tomorrow will be my first sports festival. Yesterday Kiryama asked me to be a reserve in case anything would happento the boys that will represent our class m in the festival, he was very serious about the festival, I accepted the offer. My phone started ringing it was a call from Kiyo.

I answered.

I told him about my encounter with Nagumo. We then spoke on a few matters about tomorrow.

'Are you going to participate tomorrow?'

I asked Kiyo.

' Yeah and you?'

'My participation tomorrow depends on a classmate.'

Kiyo did not understand what I meant but I explained to him.

Third Person POV

Tonight's atmosphere was very heavy,many students could feel the heavy competition that awaits them tomorrow. While some were doing their final preparations for the festival, students in a different location were setting a trap for the President.

( Author's note : Thank you for reading . Regarding Kiyo's classmate that will determine Rin's participation tomorrow. Details on the conversation Rin had with the student will be clarified in the next chapter and I'm sure you guys already have an idea on who this student is.)

Chapter 12: Sports festival part 1

Rin POV

Friday

I woke up and looked out the window. Today's morning temperature was higher than usual meaning, it was the perfect temperature for relaxing in the pool. I did my morning workout reps and headed for the shower, I took longer than usual. I got out from the bathroom and wore my swim shorts, track pants over it and then wore the school's track jersey with the white t-shirt under it. The sports festival would be starting at 09:00.I was looking inside one of my bags I brought with me from New York, I found my wallet, It had a few dollars and some bank cards Mother gave me. Three pictures then fell out of my wallet.

'I don't remeber Mother putting this in here.'

I thought. I picked up the three pictures, the first picture had young Kiyo, the second picture had young Alice and the last picture, had a baby picture of a person I could not recognize. I looked closely into the picture but I still couldn't figure out who the person was, I turned the picture and behind the picture it was written 17/06 and the year, it was a date of birth. I put the picture aside and I will look into it later.I then read a book and surfed the net, before leaving my place.

As I was about to enter the elevator I heard a voice coming from behind me.

"Ohyahoo Ayanokouji-big."

The voice belonged to Hoshimya sensei, she too was wearing the school's tracksuit but hers was a bit different from the student's ones.

"Good morning Hoshimiya-sensei."

We both walked into the elevator and the doors closed.

"The tracksuit looks good on you, Ayanokouji."

"Thanks, I could say the same for you."

"Are you going to swim today, I'm sure the girls will love to see you shirtless."

She said while starring at my body.

I looked at her and said.

"Does that include you?"

"Hmm, you can say that but I'm more interested in seeing you in your birthday suit."

I raised my brow and looked at her, I could feel that she was thinking of something lewd in that head of hers.

"Let's do our best today."

I said changing the topic.

She nodded.

"Where's Sae-sensei?"

"What's this, you thinking about another woman when you have me right in front of you?"

She'sreally annoying and why does the elevator feel like its moving slow today?

The elevator then arrived to the ground floor and I took the opportunity and quickly walked out escaping Hoshimiya. I met some of my classmates on my way to class and walked with them.Everyone had arrived and Kiryama and the class spoke about today's weather and what will happen in the festival.

Fuka, said she will not participate in the festival. I was hoping to see her in a swimsuit. Little did my classmates know that after today's festival our class won't be the same. Sensei got in and gave us a few rules about today, I excused myself from the classroom and went to meet the Chairman.

Kiyo POV

I was seated in class waiting for Sae sensei to arrive. The mood was very relaxing today. Many students were looking forward to today especially my neighbor. I would be participating in some events, Kei won't be participating but she said she will be cheering for me. The girls in our class too, had some cheering materials, they will be cheering for Hirata. From the Ayanokouji Group Akito and I would be the only ones taking part in the festival. Although Kouenji would be taking part in one event, I knew he was good at swimming as he had fastest record, but he decided to not participate in the races but he decided to participate in the springboard diving event instead. His speed would be really useful but thinking about it now would be pointless.

"Are you ready?"

I asked my neighbour.

"Yeah."

She replied.

I too was happy as this would be my first time taking part in a festival with my brother.

"Let's do our best."

Horikita said.

I nodded.

I'm sure she was feeling some pressure.

Sae sensei arrived.

"I see you are all happy but remember the school rules still apply, inapporiate behaviour will lead to expulsions and try not to be last place."

She then said a few things.

"Remember you are not allowed to sit in the other group's stands."

We then stood up and were asked to to line up as we were headed for the pools."

"Let's go 1D!!!!!"

Sudo roared as we were leaving the classroom.

Some of the boys joined him and started chanting.

"Let's go 1D, Let's go!"

I did not join the chants.

Girls were talking to Hirata.

We arrived to the location, it was different compared to how it was back when I came here during the summer break( vol 4,5).

The pool was well organized like in the olympics,the pool was around 100m long. The were two large stands opposite the pool, one for group 1 and the other for group 2 with a few tents for the participants. There was large screen that was installed to brodcast some events. It was well organized, it had tents for the annoucer, teachers and staff.

We were the first to arrive we went to seat on the stands for Group 1.

"Ike, I don't think we can seat on the upper stands."

Hirata said.

Then one girl added.

"Yeah, that's where the senpais are going to seat."

More girls joined and voiced their opinions but Ike and Yamauchi decided to even go sit on the chairs located higher.

No one called them to come down.

"So childish."

I heard Shinohara say.

I sat in the second row of the stands with Horikita to my right and Akito to my left.Sudo sat in the front row. Kouenji too was seated on the spots believed to be for the senpais with his legs crossed with his mirror, starring at the lovely sun. Hirata and the others were on the front row and Kei was on the row behind me.

Class 1C then arrived.

The atmosphere got a bit tense as our class had some sort of rivalry with them. Hyori and her other classmates sat on some of the empty seats that were available in the front row. I saw Ishizaki, Albert and the others occupying some of the seats a few rows behind us, but none of the class C students sat on the higher parts of the stands. Ibuki walked past us sending a angry look at Horikita.

"What's up with her?"

Akito asked.

"I don't know."

I replied.

"What a pain?"

Horikaita said looking at Ibuki's back as she went up the stands.

I noticed Manabe, her group and Riku were present but they were seated a bit further from Kei.

Ryuuen then arrived alone and he went to seat behind Isihzaki and them.

"I don't trust that guy."

I heard Sudo say.

Some of my classmates started to whispering about Ryuuen being in our group.

"Don't worry guys. I doubt he will do anything to us."

Hirata said.

"Yes! Hirata is right."

The mood then changed.

I noticed students appearing and occupying the Group 2 stands. It was Class 1B followed by 1A. I spotted Ichinose, Sakayangi, Kanzaki and a few others.

It was now time for the second years to arrived. Class 2D arrived, I noticed Ike and Yamauchi moving away from the the spots that was reserved for the the upper classes. They sat on the same row as me, we could hear them breathing heavily.

"You guys are behaving like kids."

Shinohara said.

"Shut up you old hag."

Ike said earning a laugh from Yamauchi.

Shinohara ignored him and rolled her eyes.

Class 2C then arrived in the Group 2 stands. A lot of the second year girls were wearing swimsuits that were not part of the school's uniform, they covered it with the school tracksuit leaving the zipper around their chest area open to allow some air I assumed.

I saw Kiryama arriving with the rest of Class 2B. I did not see my brother. I noticed the girls from Rin's class starring at me, some of them then approached me, my classmates and the other students from Ryuuen's class were starring at me.

"Hey, its him."

One of the girls said.

"You are right."

The other girl added.

6 girls were surrounding me where I was seated. Asking me a few questions about Rin seems like they knew I was his brother, my classmates failed to pick up what they were asking.

"Give Kouhai-kun some space."

It was Fuka senpai who said that as she walked with authority towards the upper seats to join the rest of her classmates. She was looking good in her tracksuit. Some of the males in our stands were looking at her admiring her beauty.

"Do your best Ayanokouji-kouhai."

One of the girls said.

The girls said as they left.

I could feel death stares coming from my male classmates, while some of the girls were whispering amongst themselves, but I could sense a very deadly aura coming from my girlfriend.

"How much are you paying them, Ayanokouji."

Ike asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb girls like that wouldn't be interested in a guy like you."

Yamauchi said looking at my eyes trying to get a answer. I just ignored them and looked around to see if my brother had arrived.

"Seems like you are popular, Mr I don't want to stand out."

Horikita who was seated besides me said.

I did not comment to her statement cause her look quickly changed as Class 3D and Class 3C and 3B arrived it was Clsss 3A arriving. The whole area got serious especially in our Group when Older Horikita arrived with the rest of Class A. Horikita did not freeze like she usually does when her brother is around, this time she tried hiding it but I managed to pick up she was acting off.

Students in our Group greeted Older Horikita even Sudo greeted him, the brother ignored his little sister's presence but we exchanged gazes before he went and sat on the higher part of the stands.

I did not see my brother anywhere. I wonder where he is?

The head swimming coach then gave a opening speech.

"Let the swimming fest begin."

He said.

A roar came from both stands.

A voice then came from the speakers.

"The first event will be the girls 200m freestyle followed by the boys."

The first year participants of the event all went towards their respective tents to get change and do some light warm ups in the pool.

Each race will have 3 heats, in the first two heats the first four racers out of eight will make it to the third heat which is the final of the event . Points are not awarded in the first two heats only the final heat.

Third Person POV

(In the tents)

"Good luck Horikita."

Sudo said.

The eight female first years all went to their lanes. The girls participating in the first heat were Horikita, Inogashira, two girls from 1B and 1A, Ibuki and Riku from 1C.

Horkita looked towards the Group 1 stands to see if her brother was watching. She then stared back at her lane.

"Bang,"

The sound came from the starting pistol, all the eight girls jumped into the pool. The crowd was cheering.

Horikita form was not bad, the girls were moving quick but in the same pace, Horikita started setting a gap, with a girl from class 1A chasing behind her. Horikita was then passed near the end.

Heat 1:
1st- girl from 1A.
2nd- Horikita.
3rd- Ibuki .
4th- girl from 1A.

Their speed time was displayed on the screens.

Horikita walked back to the tent.

"Good performance."

Kushida said as she welcomed both Horkita and Inogashira. The others congratulated them too.

"Lets do well in this heat too."

Hirata said.

Kushida and Onderea were the ones representing 1D in this heat.

They lined up at their respective lanes. Ichinose was participating too, 1C had IManabe.

Ichinose and Kushida both looked good in their swimsuits. Kushida chants started coming from Group 1's stands and Ichinose chants coming from Group 2's stands, it was loud because it was mostly the boys cheering, but Ichinose chants sounded louder. She had more fans than Kushida.

Bang

The eight girls jumped into the pool.

Onodera displayed great speed and she was the ace female swimmer from 1D.

Heat 2:
1st- Onodera
2nd-Ichinose
3rd- Kushida
4th- 1A

The crowd appualed at their performance.

Class 1D did well, having three of their participants make it to the final heat.

It was now time for the 1st years boys 200m freestyle.

The first heat consisted of Albert, Hirata & Okitani(1D), Hashimoto & Katsuragi, Kanzaki.

The race started Albert dived into the pool which caused a huge splash.

Heat 1:
1st Albert
2nd Hashimoto
3rd Hirata
4th Kanzaki.

Heat 2:

1st Sudo
2nd Kitou
3rd Shibata
4th 1A

Girls final heat:

1st 1A
2nd Onoderea
3rd Horikita
4th Ichinose

It was a tight fight for fourth postion but Ichinose managed to earn it

Boys final heat:

1st- Albert
2nd- Kitou
3rd- Sudo
4th Hashimoto

Hirata and Shibata did well but failed to make it to the top four.

It was now time for the second years.

During the 2nd year boys heat runs loud cheers were coming from the Group 2 stands. Nagumo and some of his friends were the reason for the cheers as they earned the top 2 positions in both heats. Kiriyama, Mikitani and some of the girls from Rin's class went down to the tents to prepare for their race.

2nd year 200m freestyle girls final heat
1st- 2B
2nd- Nazuna
3rd- 2A
4th-2B

During the girls heat, the boys in the crowd went crazy cause a lot of the 2nd year girls had great bodies.It was going ' boing boing '.

2nd year boys 200m final heat
1st- Nagumo
2nd- 2A
3rd- 2A
4th- Kiriyama

Kiyo POV

Nagumo class took the most the most points in this event.

Something caught my attention was that the participants from 2C and 2D intentional slowed themselves down, to allow Nagumo's class to gain more points. In the battle between the second years Nagumo will win that's what a lot of the upperclassmen were thinking.

I could see some fraustration on some of Rin's classmates faces.

Timeskip

I was looking at someone from the opposite stands waiting for the perfect time to approach her. I saw her leaving the Group 1 stands and decided to follow her. It seems like she went to the bathroom I sat on a bench not far from the bathroom and waited for her. I wanted to get information about the 2nd and 3rd years, Nagumo's true intentions for this festival.

I had been observing this person since the festival started. My brother wanted me to get some info from her. The person I'm after is Asahina Nazuna. She was not part of the student council but she was considerably influential in her class and apparently she's even a big influence on Nagumo. I chose her as my source of information because she's very dutiful and never forgets a debt owed. And also she does not worship Nagumo. I will use the the product of the coincidental meeting and by that I was referring to the amulet. I had narrowed it down that the amulet , I picked up was something precious to her.

"Hmm"

I pretended as if I casually walked into her.

She looked at me.

"Ahh, don't mind me. I just thought I had seen that amulet before a while back."

"This amulet is no longer sold at school anymore though."

"I see. By any chance did you happen to lose the amulet a while back?"

"Just wondering cause I happened to pick up one that looks like this not long ago."

I added.

"I don't believe I'm mistaken so it was you."

She laughed and approached me.

"Thank you. It had been troubling me when I realized I had lost it."

She looked at her wrist and added.

"This amulet is like my mental support. When I have it on, it makes me feel at peace. So thank you."

I just nodded.

"To think the person who picked it up would be you."

"Do you know me?"

I asked.

"You drew a lot of attention during your relay with Horikita senpai. A while ago, Miyabi. No, President Nagumo also spoke with you right?"

Nagumo is already been reffered to as president even though the election results weren't annouced yet.

"To tell you the truth the speed I showed in the relay race was just me trying to make a desperate contribution to my class. I doubt I will ever run that fast again."

"President Nagumo repects Horikita-senpai so he was jealous when he wasn't taken seriously at that relay."

"I see. How can I get his attention off my back?"

I asked.

"Unfortunatey you can't. a new student joined our year and it is believed you and the new guy are linked. President Nagumo is intereated in playing with that new guy and you will be involved one way or another."

By new guy she meant my brother. Nagumo has taken a interest in me and my brother.

"So I can't get him off my back."

"How about you just beat him then? Like taking down that arrogant Miyabi down a peg or two, I'd personally liked to see him lose a bit too."

She said while laughing. It was joke, of course.

"That might be an option."

After my reply Asahina looked dumbfoubded and burst into laughter.

"Ahahaha! Come on it was a joke. Coouldn't you tell?"

She found it funny that she had almost had tears falling and hit me on the shoulder.

"No one can beat Miyabi, Horikita-senpai dissappointed me, Kiryama might act tough now but he will eventually become Miyabi's dog."

"What about the new transfer kid?"

I wanted to laugh cause I just called my brother a kid.

"Hmm, I've only seen him once and I do not know much about him. In terms of abilities and intelligence I don't think he is above Miyabi but ..."

She stopped and then leaned to whisper something into my ear.

"When it comes to looks he beats Miyabi by a very very large gap."

She said while giggling, I noticed she had some sparklyeyes as if she was daydreaming about my brother.

I nodded to her statement

"A lot of us are waiting to see what the new guy can do in this festival, but him beat Miyabi I don't see that happening."

I did not plan to stay any no longer cause we still have a festival taking place

"Please excuse me."

"Ahh, wait, somehow I feel like a villain. Let me repay you for picking up my amulet. You can can ask me anything and I'll answer."

"Are you sure about that? "

"To completly be honest with you, I don't think the situation will change just because I talk to you."

It seems like she's certain that even if she gives me information about Nagumo's plan in the fest it won't have a major influence.

"Among the second year girls how many are particularly intimate with Nagumo-senpai."

"Intimate with him? All of them. Because they trust him more than any other boy, but a lot of the girls from Kiryama's class are not interested in Nagumo, but it won't remain like that forever."

"Miyabi not just has pawns in the 2nd year, he has some in the 3rd year too, Soon he will have some in your year."

Pawns in the first year. The only class I can see him manipulating in the future would be Class B, but knowing Class A and C's leaders taking over those classes won't be easy, especailly when Ryuuen is eager to make a great comeback. I don't think I would stay still if he tries to make my class his pawns.

Asahina left some information before she went back to her Group.

So according to Asahina, Nagumo received the names of participants from all 2nd and 3rd year participants before the festival. From what I picked off from this information he plans on attacking Older Horikita by going after Tachibana.

My thoughts were disturbed when I heard loud cheers coming from the pool. I then returned to the stands.

"Ayanokouji, where have you been?"

"I was in the bathroom, what did I miss."

I looked at the screen and noticed that in our class did well in the 100m backstroke finals, we got 3rd in the girls side and Hirata and Sudo scored 3rd and 4th in the boys side.

But that was not the reason to the loud cheers. The race that was currently taking place was the second year boys 100m backstroke. Nagumo scored first, and the other participants from his class took 2nd to 4th. His class was the only one that earned points in this event in his year.

I then heard talks coming from some of 2nd years in my group.

"Those guys went behind our backs."

"Yeah, this will affect our class. Kiryama placed them in many of today's events. Now that they are working with 2A. We can't depend on them."

"To make things worse our reserves aren't very good."

This were talks going around in our stands. Seems like some of the male swimmers from Rin's class are working with Nagumo.

I saw a furious Kiriyama and a few of his classmates walk towards the tent were the guys that handed Nagumo's class the win were.

Third Person POV

"What are you guys doing?"

It was a furious Mikitani who spoke first in a angry voice.

The 4 guys from 2B did not reply to him and harshly idnored him.

Mikitani grabbed one of the guys in the neck, against the wall.

"Whoa,whoa..."

Fists were then exchanged.

Kiryama and the others tried stopping the brawl but it was not easy, cause he too was angry at the four guys for switching to Nagumo's side.

Mashima and some of the male teachers ran towards the tent to stop the students.

It was 4v4 brawl.

The male teachers were grabbing the students.

"Why?"

Kiryama asked one of his four classmates in a angry tone.

"Face it Kiryama, beating Nagumo's class won't happen. We got tired of being on the losing side."

Kiryama did not respond as he himself was starting to doubt whether his class will ever overthrow Nagumo's class.

The atmosphere in tge tent settled down a bit. The teachers then let go of the students. They walked out of the tents.

Kiryama and co saw Nagumo with a smirk on his face.

"You bastard."

Mikitani said towards Nagumo.

"Watch your mouth, loser."

One of Nagumo's classmates said, which caused the others to laugh.

"Nagumo, I hope you had nothing to do with this."

"I'm clean., Horikita-senpai."

Nagumo said to Older Horikta who was present.

Students were asked to return to their groups.

Kiyo POV

"The senpai's were fighting."

Kushida was the one that said it.

My classmates and the other classes started whispering on what was going on.

I saw Kiryama return to his classmates. A lot of people were starring at the 4 guys, the 4 guys isolated themselves from the rest of their classmates.

On the Group 2 stands I noticed Nagumo and his classmates laughing.

He has created a big hole in class 2B.

An annoucement then came.

"Sorry for the little misunderstanding. Class 2B will receive a minus 15 points penalty. Let's move on to next event the 3rd years backstroke. Thank you."

Older Horikita and the other 3rd years went to get ready.

My classmates were just whispering to each other.

"At this rate, our group will lose."

It came from Kushida. my classmates then started adding their opinions.

This was the second event overall, so losing hope now was a bit early. But the way things look for Kiryama and his class, the four guys he lost just now were the best swimmers in his class.

Seems like Nagumo achieved his first objective which was crushing 2B and now his second object was Older Horikita.

Kouenji was not bothered at all he was happily conversing with the 3rd year girls up the stands.

I have some events I will be taking part in, so I won't get myself involved in a matters that do not concern me.

3rd year backstroke race finshed . Which concluded the backstroke event and we were given a break.

Third Person POV

Breaktime at Class 2B

Kiryama was on the teacher's poduim.

"I can't believe those guys."

One girl said.

Kiryama looked at his classmates and said.

"We are out of good male swimmers and the guys in the reserve aren't very good compared to the guys from the other classes."

"This is really troublesome."

Mikitani added.

"We have no choice, some of the guys will have to do more events."

The guys looked around with hopeless faces.

They agreed as that was their only choice.

"Mikitani, will you still be able to handle the springboard diving event."

He nodded.

He was not in his full condition as the fight he was involved in might have drained him..

The 2B door opened one of their classmates walked in, breathing heavily.

"Kiryama this is bad."

"What's wrong?"

The class then started at their classmate who walked in and were waiting to hear what he was about to say.

"I overheard that Class 2C and 2D, won't aim for high ranks and will hand the high positions to 2A."

"Dammit."

One male student said angrily.

"So, we are the only the ones fighting Class 2A?"

Kiryama nodded.

Kiryama and Co knew that Nagumo would pull a stunt like this but for them to counter Nagumo's plan was hard because they'll need to put in more effort in the events and they just lost 4 of their top swimmers.

While the classmates were raising suggestions, Fuka was just happily starring at the window. As she had a feeling something big was going to happen.

"Uhmmm guys, where is Rin?"

One girl said.

The rest of the classmates stopped talking and looked towards his seat and noticed they haven't seen him since registration.

"Has anyone seen him?"

Kiryama asked his classmates and they all nodded.

They would have contacted him through his cell phone but the teachers had collected their cell phones prior to the festival.

The Class 2B students mainly the girls were now wondering, 'what if something bad had happened to Rin.'

"Everyone let's calm down, I will go ask Sensei if she knows where he is."

The girl left and went to find Sensei.

When the girl returned.

"What did Sensei say?"

Kiryama was the first to ask.

"She said we shouldn't worry about him."

"What? But we need him to contribute now."

Kiryama said.

Kiryama was so eager to graduate from Class A that when Rin arrived, Rin had noticed Kiryama tried to make him one of his subordinates but Rin managed to shut him down.

With that Kiryama came to a conclusion that some of the guys that weren't meant to partake in this festival will take part in the events that our Class had low chances of winning in order to reserve energy for some of the good swimmers they had remaining. The girls were doing well in their events but he hoped Fuka landed them a hand to increase their chances of winning.

Tachibana POV

When I was heading towards my class room I was called out by four girls from 3C.

"Tachibana can we have a moment?"

Horikita had planned for our class to discuss a few things before going into the second half of the festival.

"Yes what is it?"

I knew the girls but I wouldn't say we were friends.

"Something terrible happened, we heard the are cameras in the girls bathroom."

"Who could do that?"

I asked.

"Some pervert."

"Are you sure about this?"

I asked the girls.

"We wouldn't lie about something like this."

They said.

"Wait, I will go tell the President about..."

Before I could finish my statement.

My wrist was grabbed and the four girls were running pulling my body with them.

"We have no time, Tachibana they could be taking the cameras as we speak."

They were right, If I wasted time looking for the Horikita, the people who installed the camera could use that time to remove the cameras and get away.

My little body was being dragged by the girls and I tried matching the pace they were running with.

Finally we arrived, it was one of the bathrooms reserved for girls to use during the festival to change but I doubt anyone would use it because it was the furtherest from the pool areas. They were other bathrooms nearby so chances for people using it was low but it did not stop me from checking cause a case like this can't be taken lightly.

The girls walked into the changing area and I followed behind. There was no one present and we started to search for the cameras.

After a while of checking I found nothing.

"Girls are you sure, this is right room cause there is nothing here."

The girls did not respond.

Bam

It was the sound of the door closing.

"What's going on?"

Before I could speak again. I felt my hair being pulled.

"Ow..."

When I looked, one of the four girls was behind me grabbing my hair.

And the three other girls were in front of me looking at me with faces of anger.

"What's going o..."

I tried asking but I received a slap to the face.

I realised I was in big trouble.

I was then pushed to the ground and I fell with my butt on the ground.

It was a painful landing.

I was feeling scared, I knew this won't end well for me.

"Do you think we will let you graduate from this school."

"What do you mean?"

I asked while rubbing my cheeks.

"Don't play dumb, do you think we enjoy seeing someone like you being a Class A student."

I wanted to reply but I received a kick to my stomach.

"Someone like you does not deserve to be in Class A."

"What are you talking about, I worked my way to Class A."

"Shut up!!"

"Ahh..."

I let out a sound of pain. I tried moving my body away but I felt my back hit against the wall.

No one will find me here. There's nothing I can do. Fighting my way out of here would be impossible I was not strong enough to even beat one of them.

I noticed one the girls pull something out of her bag. My brain quickly assumed it was weapon but that was not the case it was a camera. Why a camera?

One of the girls lifted my face off the ground and brought her face closely to my mine. And then she pushed me against the wall.

Is this how my high school journey will end?

"Come on Tachibana don't make that face we are about to make movie."

They looked at my helpless body and started laughing.

"Now scene 1."

The girls forcily pulled my jersey out and I saw the other girl recording.

( While Tachibana was in a pinch and festival had resumed. Rin was still in Chairman Sakayanagi's office.)

Rin POV

Tsukishiro. I was in Chairman Sakayangai's office. He was showing some information about the man that will take over during his absence. Judging from Tsukishiro's pictures I got a hunch he was a expert in some fighting style, and I knew my father would not send an average person to get rid of my brother.

Today was Chairman Sakayanagi last day here at school before he goes under suspension and investigation. Regarding Tsukishiro, I knew this man would not come here alone. The moment he arrives trouble will arise.

"What will you do now?"

The Chairman asked me.

For now my safest bet is to prepare as much private points as I can. I will prepare other measures when Tsukihiro starts to attack. The pressure my father would be applying on Tsukihiro to expel Kiyo would be very heavy and this will push Tsukihiro to play dirty.

"I will just collect private points for now and I will have my brother move in with me before the year ends."

The Chairman then showed me show me a paper which consisted of details how I should contact him when his outside of the school. I will have to get a teacher as my ally but who?

I already had a idea of which teacher I will work with but I will put that on hold for now.

"I will organise a way for Kiyo to move in with you."

"Thanks."

I said.

We exchanged a few info.

I then looked a Tsukhiro's picture one last time and handed the file back to Chairman Sakayanagi.

Before I left the office.

"Rin."

Chairman Sakayanagi called me.

I looked at him and he said.

"Since you were born, this is the first you will fulfill a role of protecting your brother but don't forget this is also a chance for you to experience a high schooler's life and try to live it to your fullest."

What he said was true. After I leave this school. My journey of ruling the world will begin.

"Thank you, Uncle Sakayanagi.I wish you luck too with your battle outside of here. I promise I will not get your students and staff involved in our family problems."

"Look after my daugther too."

He said and I nodded before exiting the office.

This is the last time I will see Chairman Sakayanagi this year.

I looked at the watch. It was past noon. I looked on my phone and I received a message from my friend.

'Everything is going as you predicted.'

I replied to my friend's message and returned my phone inside my bag.

I guess my life was not meant to be average. I thought.

I headed for my next destination.

Tachibana POV

My pants were removed, I was now left with my swimsuit. I could feel tears drop on my face. The four girls were laughing.

"Would look at that."

"Such a small body. Eww ugly."

"Now time for the best scene."

Two of the girls held my hands while the other was trying to remove my swimsuit and the other was recording.

I tried resisting but it was futile. I was weak, someone like me does not deserve to be in Horikita side. I thought .

I could feel my swimsuit been pulled out my breast were about to be exposed. I closed my eyes as I knew there was no hope for someone rescuing me. I heard the girls laughing.

But then we had a knock sound coming from the door.

The girls froze.

Girl 1: Did you lock?

Girl 2: Yeah, I locked it.

Girl 3: Who could it be? He promised us no one will find us here.

Who did she mean by he?

Tachibana thought.

Girl 4: Let's go check.

Girl 2: This bitch is probably the one who called someone.

The girl said in a angry tone.

"It's not me."

Tachibana said crying.

"Shhh."

And Tachibana kept quiet at the girl's command.

Two girls then walked towards the door, when the got near the door. The knock stopped and both the girls looked at each other in confusion. Just as one them was about to put her ear near the door to hear if voices were coming from the outside.

A fist came out from the door, the wooden pieces of the door fell on the floor. This caused the two girls to fall on the ground in surprise.

"What's going on out there?"

One the girls that was with Tachibana asked.

The girls could not find words to say, cause in the hole that was caused by the punch the could see a person face on the other side.

And then somehow they saw the door opening.

Two figures walked in, one was a figure they were familiar with and the other belonged to a person they had no idea off.

"Do you mind if we join the party?"

One the two figures said.

The girls were scared to respond.

The other figure then walked towards where Tachibana and the two girls were.

"I found her."

"You may take her, I will deal with the rest."

The other guy took off his jacket and gave it to Tachibana to wear and he picked up the helpless Tachibana from the ground. Tachibana recognized the face of the person that picked her up but what surprised her was that the other person that had come too was someone she was not expecting.

"I will take her to the school's nurse and tell one of her classmates where she is."

"Cool."

And with that Tachibana and the other guy left she only saw the back of Rin who had remained with the four girls.

The girls were on the floor in a corner looking scared.

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

One girl said.

"I'm just a transfer a student."

"What? Transfer student?"

One girl was confused.

"I see, you are that rumoured transfer student."

Rin nodded.

"This new guy does not know how things work here. In this school there is only one person on the top."

Rin ignored the girl and picked up the camera.

"Don't touch that."

One the girls yelled.

"Help!Help!"

The girls were screaming trying to scare Rin a bit. But Rin got tired of the chit chat and sent a death glare at the girls and with that the girls kept quiet.

"Listen up, I don't have time for you guys."

Rin used the same camera and recorded the girls say something, he did this as he knew this video he just recorded will be of big help in the future. The girl's had their cellphones with them, Rin took it and sent all their private points to his number.

When Rin mentioned the name Nagumo, the girls were surprised.

After some time Rin's homeroom teacher arrived and she took the girls to the office, for this four girls this was their last day here at ANHS.

Rin POV

I watched Sensei as she took the girls and left. The girls cried even more when they realised Nagumo was planning on playing them.I did not feel bad for them. Nagumo's plan was simple yet one that would benefit him well. He used this girls' frastraution for failing to reach Class A and turned it to hatred and anger which he used to send the girls to attack Manabu's closest ally. After the girls will give him the video of Tachibana he would use it to threaten Manabu and Nagumo knew with a video like that Tachibana would not be able to handle it and will end up dropping out on her own accord. I would have ignored this whole thing but Manabu was friend of mine and I managed to get important information from this whole situation.With this I fully understood how the person Nagumo operated and I already had ideas of how he will play me in the future. I have time to spare so I will play with you Nagumo.

Now that I've gathered this, I guess its time for me to enjoy my first sport's festival. With that I headed for the pool area.

Kiyo POV

After break I noticed Tachibana was not present in the stands, so Nagumo already set his plan into action. Speaking of Nagumo he was near the pool area with some of his classmates as they were celberating their dominant win in the water gun fight.

To think my brother would predict things would turn out like this, surprised me.

It was time for one of today's headline events, the springboard diving event.

For our class Kouenji was the one representing us in this event.

Kouenji who was mingling with the 3rd year girls stood up and walked down towards us.

"Allow me to show you guys perfection."

He said showing of his white teeth and he removed his tracksuit remaining with a speedo. Showing his abs and muscles. He had a pro athlete's body. The 2nd and 3rd years guys can't compete with that.

People from the Group 2 were even starring at him.

"Kouenji, good luck."

It was Kushida who said.

"A existence like myself does not need luck."

He said.

The girls were admiring his body while the boys were sending some sour looks at him. But Kouenji paid them no mind.

Normally you will use the stairs to exit the stands but for Kouenji he jumped from the stands to the ground and walked towards the springboard diving tower.

"Whoa."

Some people said after witnessing what he had just pulled off.

Seems like he would be going first, people were more surprised when he went past the 3m board. He stopped at the 5m board.

Third Person POV

( I have no idea what this thing is called but I will call it the springboard diving tower in the story. The first board is 3m, second board is 5m and the third board is 10m)

Kouenji stopped at the tip of the diving board, he wore his usual grin, the sun shone at him which brigthen his blonde hair even more. He then begin his run and lauched himself off the board spreading his arms like a eagle, he then did a backflip, 360 spin and ended of with another backflip before landing into water.

The crowd eruppted. Giving him a appaulse. The crowd looked at the screen waiting to see his score. All three judges gave him 10 earning himself 30 a perfect score. The crowd appluaded for him.

The other classes did their dive but none of them performed as well as Kouenji and they all jumped from the 3m diving board. The closet score to Kouenji was a 25 which came from a booy from Nagumo's class he was the captain of swimming team.

Kei POV

Kouenji's dive was amazing Shinohara,Kushida and the other girls were all talking about it. I was just waiting to see Kiyotaka's performance in the upcoming events. I noticed Kiyotaka was starring at me. Through my gaze I asked him where Rin-niisan was? I looked at him and noticed he too had no idea.

"Kouenji is amazing."

Shinohara said.

"If he wasn't weird, I would have confessed to him."

My classmate said.

People were still talking abouut Kouenji's performance.

But the springboard diving event had not yet ended, it's like there was problem going on with one of the classes.

Third Person POV

Mikitani who was supposed to do the the springboard diving event for his class. He was out of energy. Kiryama and Co were now worrying on who should do it for their class.

" Class 2B if no one is on the board in the next 2 minutes your class will be given zero points."

It came from the anoucement.

"Why don't you do it?"

Kiryama asked one of the guys.

"Me, I can't do it. I will die."

The girls then asked him.

"Please, we need points."

The guy let out a heavy sigh and said.

"I will try."

His heart was beating very fast due to fear and pressure.

He walked out of the tent, everyone in the stand had their attention on him as he was the last one left in the event. This added more pressure on the guy. He was already sweating.

Some students mainly the 2A students were laughing at him while his classmates were lowly cheering for him.

The guy was hoping for a miracle.

Kiyo POV

We were all watching the Class 2B student walk out the tent towards the springboard diving tower. Since he was the last participant we were all watching him. I bet the pressure was getting to him.

"Will that guy be okay?"

Kushida said.

"I don't know but he's in our group so let's cheer for him."

Hirata said.

My classmates joined him and cheered for the guy.This will just add pressure on him.

"Ayanokouji for the next events pl..."

Horikita did not finish her sentence. I knew why. Right now the whole pool area was quiet. The atmosphere felt heavy. Silence fell upon us like a monster has just walked in. I only knew one person who could do this. I noticed a smile develop on Fuka-senpai's face.

Third Person POV

A person walked down into the pool area, the moment he took a step everyone went quiet and stared at the person. A very powerful aura was coming from this person. Silence fell upon the students even the teachers were not able to talk and they queitly watched this person.

(Author's Note: Thank you for reading. I'm back so except frequent updates. Next chapter will conclude the sports festival. Rin and Kiyotaka will take part in the events in the next chapter. I will introduce Rin's friend in the next chapter .Have a good day. Thank you.)

Chapter 13 : Sports festival part 2

Rin POV

I finally made it to the pool area.

I walked into the area and noticed everyone was quiet and was staring at me.

While walking towards my male classmate that was heading for the Springboard diving tower, I could feel everyone gaze following my every movement.

My classmate looked at me with watery eyes asking me to take his place in the event.

I nodded and he let out a sigh of relief.

Narrator

Whispers were now developing in the stands.

"Who's that?"

"I've never seen him before."

Rin took off his track jersey.

"Woah."

Came from the boys.

"Kyah."

Came from most of the girls

Whispers were coming from both stands

Rin had rash guard on that tightly shaped every muscle on his body, he had well developed muscles, no sign of fat was visible on his body. His pro athlete looking body, Rin had a well developed back and to top it off a 8 pack that left the the girls talking.

"Is that guy high schooler?"

Someone asked.

With everyone staring at him, Rin walked towards the springboard diving tower he then started climbing up the tower, he climbed past the 3m diving board and the students in the crowd were surprised cause Kouenji was the only one who went past the 3m board. The crowd was even shocked when Rin went past the 5m board that meant he was heading for the top and the hardest jump, the 10m board.

"Hey stop. That's dangerous."

One of the lifeguards said trying to climb to stop Rin.

"Wait."

It was Older Horikita who instructed the lifeguard to stop. Older Horikita's actions surprised the students and teachers nearby.

He then looked up at Rin's figure who was climbing towards 10m board.

'What are you planning Rin?'

He thought to himself.

Kiyo POV

Whispers were coming from my classmates as we were all watching my brother climb the diving tower.

"What's that guy doing? Is he nuts?"

It was Yamauchi.

'Shh shh.'

The girls silenced him as they were all watching to see what was going to happen next.

I looked back. Fuka-senpai was happily watching she was really enjoying the scene. Kei had a concerned look on her face but I sent her glance telling her not to worry.

"Whatever his planning he won't make it."

Yamauchi said again.

"Shh,shh."

But this time it was the 3rd year girls telling him to shut up, which he did.

I've always remained calm but in this moment, i too was staring in anticipation to see what was going to happen.

Rin POV

Damn this is too high.

I finally got to the 10m board. I saw everyone was up on their feet staring up at me.

I guess I will have to step up my game a little.

I took a deep breath,closed my eyes and launched myself off the board.

Narrator

Rin jumped off the board in a perfect form, he then went into a front flip ,back flip, twist and ended off with a flip before entering into the water.

The crowd was lost of words to what they had just witnessed. Rin got out of the pool.

"Woah!!!!"

Loud cheers came from both stands.

The crowd went crazy, girls from Rin's class were screaming the loudest showing the girls from other classes that Rin belonged to them.

Students, teachers and the rest of the staff were applauding the performance Rin has just displayed.

Kiyo POV

From my seat, many cheers and appluades were coming from behind me. The girls in my class were going crazy.

I applauded and let out smile I was very proud of my brother.

"Do you think his from our group?"

Kushida asked the other girls.

"I hope so."

Suprisingly the response came from Haruka.

The first year girls started to talk about how much they hoped my brother is in the same group as us.

Rin along with Older Horikita were returning to our stand.

Narrator

The three judges were struggling with what score to give Rin's performance. The three judges knew Rin's performane was worth more than 30 points but they coundn't give him more than 30 points so the judges came to a agreement that Kouenji and the rest of the participants will be revaluted. Kouenji got the second highest score with his score droping from 30 to 16, the third highest score belonged to the student from Nagumo's class which was dropped to 11.

Rin's performance was then given a 30.

When this change was annouced students were surprised but they did not complain about the change becuase Rin's performance deserved the perfect score.

Kiyotaka POV

We applauded, I looked back to see how Kouenji was feeling about this, when I looked at him, he was not looking at his mirror but he was looking at my brother, this was the first time I got to see Kouenji take interest in another person.

Rin and Older Horikita returned to the stands but what was surprising, Older Horikita who was talking to Rin was smiling and laughing, the third years and second years were all surprised at this scene, cause Older Horikita always had a serious look on his face.

"I did not know your brother can laugh."

I said to Horikita.

"Not everyone is like you."

Ouch.

I do smile.

"But who is that guy, to be able to make nii-san laugh?"

She was whispering to herself but I heard what she said. She sounded a bit jealous.

I wonder how my classmates will react when they hear he is my brother.

Rin walked past us and went to sit on upper part of the stands were received lots of hugs from the senior girls.

"He's so cool."

Someone said.

"Yeah."

"Did you his face?"

"No, his smile?"

Then more of my classmates started talking about my brother.

"Tch I hate pretty guys."

It came from Yamuachi.

"Me too."

Ike joined.

They started talking about it and some more nonsense.

"Can the first years taking part in the Water gun event please get ready."

"Kanji its our time to shine!!"

Yamauchi yelled.

I along with Akito, Yamauchi, Ike and the other participants went down to get ready for the event.

We were given squirt guns and we were given hats that had a shooting target standing on our heads. This feels embrassing.

"Is it too late to quit?"

Akito asked me also feeling the embrassment of wearing the hat.

"Haha Ayanokouji you look funny."

Yamauchi said pointing at me.

What's up with him? Doesn't he realise we wearing the same hat.

I bet my brother is laughing, I looked to stands to find him but he wasn't laughing the one laughing was Fuka-senpai and Kei.

I will get them later.

I along the others were standing above the pool. A plexiglass pool cover had been placed above the pool. Just how much money does this school have?

Ike and the other participants started jumping to see if the pool cover would break.

The referees then gave out a few rules before allowing us to start.

Rules.

*Event duration 10 minutes.
* 4 students from 4 classes go against each other.
*The team with the most members remaining at the end wins.
*Students pushed into water will be eliminated.

Rin POV

What is that boy wearing?

It was currently the first year water fight event.

They had funny hats on their heads. I wish I could take apicture of Kiyotaka but that wasn't allowed.

The partcipants that I was familiar were Ishizaki, Mio, but seeing Kamuro take part was surprising.

She had a very stiff face. She seemed very piss, did they force her to do it.

The crowd were cheering for their classes, I was silently cheering for my brother who is currently part of the last 4 participants standing.

Kiyo, Hashimoto, Ichnose and Kamuro.

This was a disadvantageous situation for Kiyo the other three were all part of the same group.

The three of them had their guns pointed at Kiyo.

What are you going to do little bro?

I noticed that words were been exchanged amongst the four of them but suddenly Kiyo shot water at Masumi's face.

Knowing Masumi that would piss her off.

The three started shooting at my brother but he kept dodging.

He managed to dodge while dodging Kiyo was closing into Ichinose and then he eventually pushed her into the pool.

" Ichinose Honami of Group 1 has been eliminated."

Its now a 2v1.

Shots were been exchanged but Masumi and Hashimoto kept ganging up on Kiyo, Kiyo used the same approach he used on Honami and rushed into Masumi and pushed her into the pool.

I heard her take out a cute scream before landing into the water.

But then Hashimoto rushed behind Kiyo and pushed him into the pool.

Kiyo could have dodged but it seems like he has no intentions of standing out any further.

" The win of the event goes to Class 1A."

That was enjoying to watch.

It's now the second years turn.

From our class Kiryama, Mikitani, and the other boys were part of it. Kiryama prepared a all boys team for this event and surprisingly from Nagumo class the girls were the ones representing.

The event started and as excepted, 2A,C and D were all targeting our class, Kiryama and the others tried reasisting but fighting 12 other people wasn't easy and our class ended up been elinmated first, another surprise came by after our had been elimated the participants from 2C and D all jumped into the pool withdrawing from the event giving Nagumo's all girls team the win.

Nagumo was behind it. Been here for two months I realised Nagumo's influence over the second year is not one to be taken lightly

Students were talking about it.

"Do those guys expect the underclassmen to respect them after that?"

One of the males from Manabu's class said to the rest of his classmates.

I could see Nagumo and the rest of his friends bursting into laughter.

Nagumo just keeps making Kiryama look like a joke.

The third years event came by and ended with 3A winning.

Narrator

The first years water polo event concluded with a surprise win from 1C thanks to Albert's huge body that covered the whole goal post.

The 2nd and 3rd year matches came to a end.

Kiyo POV

Finally the day is coming to a end. I was currently stretching and getting ready for the
100m freestyle, which is the second last event of the day. Unlike the other event will be very fast paced.

I went to my lane and lined with the other participants. The participants for this event included Hashimoto, Shibata, Sudo, Komiya and the rest were students I was not familar with.

I took my stance and as the start gun went on we jumped into the pool. I did not put too much energy, I noticed Sudo was ahaed of us, followed by Hashimoto and Shibata, so I guess I'm fourth after, completing 50m for the next 50m I kept my position and qualified for the final race. Sudo took first, Shibata 2nd and Hashimoto 3rd.

I got out of the pool and we received cheers. Seems like the sudents were enjoying the rcae events more.

I watched the 2nd heat which ended with Hirata, Kanzaki and two boys from 1A qualifying for the event.

1C were the only ones to not have made it to the finals.

Before the boys finals it was the girls finals with our class winning.

Onderea has been really useful in today's races.

It was now the first year boys 100m finals, the first years were watching the race closely.

I went to my lane.

"Good luck Ayanokouji-kun."

Hirata said to me.

I nodded, the lane to my left was occupied by Hashimoto and the one to my right was occupied Kanzaki.

Seems like Kanzaki has something to say to me.

"Do you plan on surprisnig us here again?"

He said to me.

"That relay race was just a fluke."

I said.

We exchanged a few words before taking our stance. The guy is starting to become wary of me.

First? Second? Third?

Where should place myself.

Bang!

The moment we heard the sound we dived into the water. Unlike the quailifiers round there was no gap between us as we passed the 50m zone the gap started developing Sudo was leading and Hirata was chasing behind, Shibata and Kanzaki, Hashimoto and the 2 guys from 1A chased them, this means I'm currently last.

With 50m remaining I sped up and earned myself 6th position.

We received a warm welcome as we returned to stands or to be more precised Hirata received a warm welcome as we returned to our classmates.

"Kiyopon you did well, right Airi."

Haruka said.

"Yes."

Airi replied as she shly handed me a towel.

I then had a chat with them as the 2nd year girls freestyle qulifiers was taking place.

Rin!Rin!

We heard loud cheers of my brothers name coming from the upper part of our stands.

Why are they cheering I looked down to pool and noticed my brother was one of the participants for 2nd year 100m event.

Rin POV

It was the second heat and Nagumo was not in the starting line that meant he is sitting out on this event. KIryama and I were the ones representing our class in this heat, I did not understand know why Kiryama is here because he is not that fast, he is really trying to hard but who am I to talk he is the class rep after all.

"Hey new kid, don't get ahead of yourself?"

It came from a boy from Nagumo's class who I believed was part of the swimming team. H e was in the lane next to mine.

I just ignored him and took my stance.

Kiyo POV

My brother's stance was like that of a pro swimmer, which the crowd was surprised at. I was not surprised becuase my brother told me that he was into swimming, this is the first time I will get to witness him swim.

Bang

The gun went on.

My brother jumped into the water with a perfect form, before entering the pool I saw a smirk on his face.

He surprised not just me but the audience as well, before the 50m mark he had already created a gap between him and the other swimmers. He then won race between him and second place the gap was huge.

He took first place by a large margin. He got of out water while the other swimmers were still finishing up their run showing no sign of exhuastion his breathing was still normal, it was like he did not swim at all.

Everyone's eyes was on the screen waiting to see Rin's time for the event.

01: 03:00

The second place swimmer from 2A had a time of 01:40:37 and the rest fell under 2 minutes.

Rin took 1st place, 2nd and 3rd went to 2A and fourth was taken by 2C. Kiryama did not qualify for the finals.

Cheers for my brother were coming from my brother's classmates and the third year girls in our group.

i just realized that my brother is built different.

"That guy can't be human."

Kesei said to the rest of us.

Akito, Haruka and Airi were all starring at Rin still shocked to what he just pulled off.

"He's totally my type."

Eh?

Haruka said as she turned to us.

"A guy like him is beyond your reach Haruka."

Keisei said crushing Haruka's hopes

"Kiyopon, Keisei is been mean, that's why you'll never get a girlfriend."

A few words were then exchanged between them.

I noticed everyone in the stands take their seats eargerly waiting for something. They were waiting to see my brother swim again in the finals.

The girls finals took long.

Narrator

The first years were all wondering who was that?

Kushida then stood up and looked towards the upper stands and said.

"Excuse me senpais but does anyone know that student is?"

She asked the senpais, both the males and female first years looked up to senpais waiting for a answer.

"Its Rin."

A voice said.

Students looked to see where the voice came from, it was Ishzaki who said the name.

But students were heistated to believe him due to his bad reputation, until one of Rin's female classmates.

"Kouhai is right."

"I told you."

Ishizaki said.

"Thank you senpai."

Kushida said.

Rin?

Rin?

More students starting talking about his name.

Suddenly the man everyone was interested in was lining up for the final.

Rin POV

For some reason I felt more stares were directed at me.

Lining up for this event, the other participants were wary at me due to my previous performance.

For this event Nagumo's class had the points advantage cause 4 of the 8 participant were from his class, two from my class including myself and the other 2 were from 2D.

We all took our stance once more and as I heard the start sound, I dived into the water. I moved my arms and legs even faster than I did in the prevouis race. I could not hear anything it was just me and the water, I did not fell anyone next to me or behind me. I kept moving till I touched the wall and realized that was the end.

I got out of the water and I noticed the was nothing but slience in the crowd.

Narrator.

Students were not cheering but were silent becuse of the extraordinary performance they just witnessed. All eyes were on the screen waiting to see Rin's time.

The time was then displayed.

00: 54:01

Rin Is the only student to achieve a time below a minute, with more practice Rin could reach the world record .

Kiyo POV

My classmates and the other students were all speechless, still looking at the time on the screen. They were all processing what they had just witness.

I then heard clapping from one student it was coming from Fuka-senpai who was smiling, more students started clapping which turned to cheers and then chants.

Rin!!!

Rin!!!

Not just the girls were cheering even the boys started chanting.

Hate him, like him, you can't deny he is extraordinary. Deep inside I was happy that such a person is my big brother.

Narrator

The 3rd years 100m freestyle ended, it was now time for the last event, mixed relay race. Classes were given 10 minutes to prepare for the event. But as classes were preparing and making final changes for the event, all eyes were on class 2B, they were wondering if Rin was going to take part.

Kiyo POV

Just like in the previous sports festival I have been assigned as anchor. Sudo will start and Onderea will go second followed by Hirata who is third. This is the line up Horikita presented for our class. Looking at other classes Nagumo is assigned as anchor and Older Horikita too, surprisingly Ibuki has been assigned as anchor for her class too.

Not all classes were lined up. Rin's classs were still finalisng their line up, the question in my mind was is my brother going to take part.

Rin POV

As expected Kiryama is trying manipulate me on participating in the relay event, but I have done what I wanted to do today so I turned down his offer yet he still kept bothering me but I'm not one to take orders from someone like him. I turned him down and he found another person for it.

Narrator

2B arrived to join the rest of the relay participants. Students were surprised to see that Rin their best swimmer is not taking part, they were all glad.

"What's this Kiryama aren't you going to use your trump card?"

Nagumo asked Kiryama.

"He's done enough for today."

Kiryama said he tried to not tell Nagumo that Rin refused his request.

Nagumo managed to see through Kiryama and just laughed proudly.

"He is a interesting student, I look forward to playing with him next year."

Kiryama and Nagumo exchanged a few words.

The first swimmers stood on the jumping board with the other three representatives lining up behind them.

Bang

The swimmers jumped into the water. People were all watching in anticipation.

A student from 2A is currently leading,followed by a student from Manabu's class. Sudo was currently 5th. The first swimmers, returned and tagged the second swimmers, they jumped into the pool first place changed between Nagumo and Manabu's class.

Kiyo POV

The first year swimmers couldn't match the seniors. Our class was the closest to the seniors thanks to the boost Sudo and Hirata had given us. Onderea who was standing in front of me got ready waiting for Hirata to come and tag her in. My turn is coming soon.

Onderea was very fast, she managed to overtake the fourth swimmer who was from 3B.

Nagumo's class who was currently first was returning to come tag Nagumo their anchor in. Nagumo gathered the best swimmers for this event and they were performing well.

"Looks like victory is mine once more Horikita senpai. You may have won with overall points but lost to me again."

Nagumo said laughing before been tagged in and jumping into the water. Kanzaki who was second arrived and tagged Shibata their anchor in. Third place, Older Horikita classmate was approaching him, but Older Horikita had his attention somewhere else he was staring at my brother who standing not far from us. Older Horikita's classmate arrived and tagged him in but Older Horikta did not jump into the water. This felt just like what happened during the previous sports festival.

Older Horikita walked towards and exchanged a few words. I noticed my brother removing the towel he had on his hair and walked towards one of the lanes.

Did Older Horikita just issue a challenge to my brother?

Looking back to the pool,I noticed Onderea who was currently fourth was arriving to tag me in.

But I was caught in what decision should I make. Should I continue the race like normal or join the challenge that Older Horikita issued to my brother.

My decision was made and I did not jump into the pool. Horikita and my classmate will scold me for this, but this a chance for me to do something that my brother loves together with him.

Students were whispering amongst themselves. Nagumo who got first place returned and got out of the water, but people were not paying attention to him. Everyone's eyes were on my me l, my brother and Older Horikita.

Narrator

"This is it, a race with two of the greatest people I know ,what a way to close the final chapter of my high school life."

Older Horikita said to both the Ayanokoujis with a laugh.

No one nearby heard what they were talking about.

After the last swimmer finished the race.

Kiyotaka, Rin and Manabu occupied the empty lanes.

Kiyo POV

I could hear students talking about why Older Horikita and I just wirhdrew from the race, this was a moment I did not want miss.

Before we could take a stance.

A voice called out to us.

"Wait."

The voice belonged to Kouenji.

He approached and removed his pants.

Seeems like he also plans on joining us.

"This a perfect stage for me to show my perfection."

Kouenji said.

He then ocuppied the lane next to me.

I was in the lane in between Kouenji and my brother while Older Horikita occupied the lane next to my brother by the edge of the pool.

"Swim as fast as you can."

Rin said to us. It sounded like a warning.

Kouenji let out a chuckle before facing the pool and having a serious face.

"In the count of three."

Horikita POV

The scene we were all witnessing was a scene similar to that from the previous sport's festival but this time Kouenji and that fast second year were part of the race. I looked around and everyone was on their feet waiting to witness it, some students rushed and surrounded the pool to witness the race up close.

Please win nii-san.

I said to myself.

Kiyo POV

It seems like the students were the ones going to the do countdown.

"3!"

They scremed and we all lowered our postures getting ready to jump.

"2"

"1"

The moment we heard one we all jumped into the pool. I was the shortest but I won't allow it to make me lose.

Unlike my previous races I was moving faster this time around.

Once we got to the 50m mark my brother started leaving us behind, Older Horikita started moving faster and I was chasing behind him, Kouenji did the same thing.

All right, I'm going to go even faster.

Narrator

Students were cheering loudly for them.

The three managed to close the gap that Rin developed but as they all touched the wall and were returning for their final 100m. Rin started moving much faster again leaving the three behind. Older Horikita who was moving at the same pace as Kiyotaka and Kouenji moved to chase after Rin but before he could get his mometum running a student was pushed in his lane forcing him to withdraw, this however did not make Kiyotaka and Kouenji lose their momentum.

It was now a battle between Kiyotaka and Kouenji.

Kiyo POV

Looking at Kouenji who was now starting to leave me behind, I realized he is very talented but even I have my own pride. I moved fatser closing the gap between us, the finishing point was appearing in front of us we were both moving at the same pace and but then the exhaustion of having to participate in more events than Kouenji got me to and I fell behind my a few centimetres.

The outcome would have been different if I had not been exhausted.

We got out of the pool and received cheers from the students.

Kouenji walked towards my brother and said.

"Its your win this time."

It surprised me and some of my classmates. He offered a handshake to my brother, their handshake was very firm. Kouenji exchanged stares with me before disappearing into the crowd.

This was the first time Kouenji met someone above him and I don't think this is the last battle between him and my brother.

My thoughts were then cut short, when I felt someone place his arms around my shoulders.

"Ayanokouji you were able to match Kouenji, you are very fast were you holding back again."

Sudou said as he slapped me on my back. That hurts.

Horikita who was closed to me hit my abdomen with her elbow.

What's her problem? Its not my fault her brother lost.

"You have attracted more attention once again Ayanokouji."

She said.

More of my classmates congratulated but they all kept quiet when my brother started walking towards me. They opened a path for him.

The race might have been intensed but none of us were able to match Rin. He was in league of his own.

He then stood in front of me. This was the first time my brother and I took part in sport activity together so we were both overwhelmed with joy but did not show it.

"What is your name?"

He said to me. We were acting like starngers in front of my classmates.

"Kiyotaka."

I said.

"You are a talented young man."

"Thank you senpai."

I replied with a bow.

He then offered me a handshake and my classmates appluaded for the great sportsmanship.

"He so cute."

One of the girls from my class said and more girls joined in and some were even jealous that I shook his hand.

"I hope to race him one day."

Sudou who was next to me whisperede

Timeskip

Every student was seated waiting for the results to be annouced.

Everone stared at the the scoreboards waiting for the results to appear.

The results were first displayed on grade level.

First years

1st Place: 1B
2nd Place: 1D
3rd Place: 1C
4th Place: 1A

FWe did surprsingly well this time around and thanks to Ryuuen's class, our group dominated the first year competitions.

Rin POV

Not bad Kiyotaka, he's class did well and Ryuuen's class, but the rankings would have been better if Ryuuen contributed but when I spoke to him last night he told me he's still taking a break from class battles before he makes his great comeback.

It seems like it was time to see the second year rankings.

Second years

1st Place: 2A
2nd Place: 2B
3rd Place: 2D
4th Place: 2C

Nagumo's class dominated the second year events thanks to his influence over the other second year classes and the stunt he pulled on our class. From what I've noticed Nagumo gathered all the best students in our year in his class, he's class had a allstar line up in terms of both academics and physical strength.

After my refusal to race, Kiiriyama got a bit angry and after seeing me race with Manabu. He and I from today will not see eye to eye but little does he know I've already seen through him.

Narrator

Third years

1st Place: 3A
2nd Place: 3D
3rd Place: 3C
4th Place: 3B

The results were annouced then it was time to annouce the overall winner of the festival.

" And the winner for this festival goes to Group 1."

Screams and cheers came from the Group 1 stands while the Group 2 students stared quietly.

Timeskip

Kiyotaka POV

We returned back to our classroom and Sae sensei congratulated us for our performance but she still remained cold as usually and left the classroom.

Many students in the class looked exhausted and drained. So most of my classmates started leaving the classroom. The Ayanokouji Group decided we have a little celebration at the mall today.

Rin POV

Today felt really refreshing it was almost curfew time and it was raining. After the festival ended I went with a few of my classmates to celebrate at the mall. I got to experience what It felt going karaoke for the time.

I did not meet Nagumo after the festival ended but I guess he will manage to pin down on who interfered in his plan on destroying Tachibana. Those three girls really left me with something useful on Nagumo.

Now how will I use it against him.

I was walking home with a umbrella in my hand. I met four students that were walking towards me.

I noticed one of them had a cane in her hand, and I spotted Masumi holding two umbrellas. The person apparoaching me was Alice Sakayanagi and her group.

The four students stopped in front of me.

"14 years and 6 days and you still look the same."

I said.

Masumi and the other 2 boys were confused to my statement but the person I was talking to decided to speak up.

"Fufu, now this is a reunion I never thought would happen again."

I met Alice when she was three years old, it was when I was playing chess against her father and the adults that were present in the room. And I was told Alice was learning the game too but I did not play her cause she was young at the time but we exchanged a few words and spent some little time together.

i walked towards her but the two boys with her blocked my path. The blond boy Hashimoto and the other guy Kito were the ones blocking me. Seeing Kito in person he's face looked weird and surpsingly he had a face that looked older than mine.

Should I be worried that Alice surrounds herself with such a guy.

"Don't worry guys, he is my cousin."

"I wish to talk but that will have to wait."

It was just a few minutes till curfew.

Alice nodded.

But before I could start walking I looked at Masumi and teased her.

"You never told me you had a nice body, Masumi. You looked sexy today."

The two boys and Alice were surprised. Masumi became red and dropped one of the umbrellas she had been holding.

I let out a small laugh before I started walking again.

Narrator

"Masumi, you have some explaining to do."

Alice said.

Masumi still embarrassed just nodded.

"Princess, you know that guy."

Hashimoto asked.

"Yes, next time do not stand in front of him like you did. He is not someone to mess with."

"Is he dangerous?"

Kito asked.

"Yes."

Alice replied.

"How dangerous?"

Hashimoto asked.

"I would not stand a chance against him."

This statement surprised Kito and Hashimoto.

The four of them then quietly stared at Rin's back.

( Author's note: Thank you for reading. This chapter was challenging to write.)

Ciao.

Chapter 14: My woman

Narrator

This sucks.

This words came from Rin's mouth who was currently sitting in a large lobby with some of the teachers. He was the only student present.

The school rewarded the first and second years a day out to a inn near the mountains but for Rin, he does not get to enjoy the hot springs and baths offered in the inn beacuse Rin was hiding sometinhg in his body that would cause trouble for not just him if another student had to see his body. So he chose not to use the baths and used the showers in the bedrooms instead.

The inn provided three baths, the men's, women's and a mixed bath. Many boys had hoped to use the mixed bath but when they heard it was the bath Nagumo was using they all chose to use the men's bath. Not just the seond years feared Nagumo but the first years epsecially now that he has been annouced as Student Council President.

( Authors Note : This is the chapter were the T rex scene happens but I won't write about it cause I will just end up rewritting what was written in volume 8. Thanks for understanding. )

Rin POV

I decided to take a walk around the inn I then heard chants coming from the men's bath.

"Take it off, Take it off."

Take what off I asked myself.

I still did not see any students, it seems like they were all still in the baths.

I suddenly came across Alice who was heading for the baths.

"Good evening Rin senpai."

"Good evening , Alice."

I said as I picked her up. She was tightly grabbing onto her cane.

"Could you please put me down, that's not how you treat a lady."

She said while poutinng.

Her classmates would be very surprised to see her like this.

To think the 3 year old child I met in the past would end up class 1A's leader.

Seem likes she grew up well.

I gently put her down. I let her go of her and helped her with her cane.

"Why do we keep meeting at the worst times."

She wanted is to meet in more relax atmosphere like a cafe but so far her wish hasn't come true.

We exchanged a few words on her upcoming battle with Kiyo.

"As I promised I won't interfere in the battle."

"Thank you."

Alice has set her eyes on destorying my brother. Normally I should interfer but since this is something Alice has been waiting for a very long time, I will just watch from a distance however if Kiyo is at risk of expulsion I will have to interfere.

I bid farewell to Alice and watched her, however as she was walking towards the bath area a boy came running from behind me wearing just a towel. He ran past me but bumped into Alice, which made her lose her balance, but in the nick of time I managed to grab her and prevent her from falling.

"Thank you."

She said with a smile.

"Are you okay?"

I asked her.

She nodded.

I helped her up.

"Do you want me to take care of him?"

I was concern about her.

"Its okay, I will take care of him and thank you."

She said while bowing and I watched her vanished into the bath's area.

If I recall correctly the person that bumped into her, was Kiyo's classmate Yamauchi. Judging from how Alice looked at him it seems like she will deal with him.

While walking in the corridor, I came across Tonokawa one of Nagumo's friends he was walking towards my direaction seems like he also was heading back to baths.

I kept walking paying him no attention but he decided to stop in front of me.

"Aren't you forgetting to greet your superiors."

I heard that the second year members of the student council were very cocky I guess I'm witnee6sing it now.

He said.

"Oh, yo."

I said pretending to just notice him now.

"Tch. You may be a great swimmer but that's all there is to you. Just you wait, it will be so fun watching Nagumo play with you and that first year boy next year."

Tonokawa then intentional bumped into my left shoulder and carried on walking towards the baths area, laughing proudly.

I clenched my left fist and looked at his back.

'I won't forget this Tonokawa.'

I said to myself.

I was going up the mountain to meet Fuka, the reason I called Fuka to meet me today was because I wanted to confirm were we stand.

While taking the stairs up the mountain, I kept staring at the night sky , it looked amazing.

I got to the top the mountain and on a bench I saw Fuka who had been waiting for me. She was wearing a short yukata gown that exposedher legs, seems like she had just cone from the bath, I walked behind her and whispered into her ears.

"You look beautiful."

I saw her let out a blush, I sat next to her and we both watched the stars.

"You were amazing yesterday."

She said.

"Thanks."

I replied.

"Come"

I looked at her in confusion until I noticed she was indicating that I rest my head on her thighs .

I happily accepted her offer and I rested my head on her thighs this sensation my head was feeling felt good.

"This feels good."

I said with a smile.

She nodded. She was quiet today.

From her lap I looked at her face but her boobs were blocking a part of her face. When I looked at her face her boobs were just right in front of my face. Looks like I've found myself in quite a predicament.

"You know darling, I am really glad I met a guy like you."

That came out of nowhere.

I raised my head from her lap and said.

"I'm glad I met a woman like you."

I said looking into her eyes, tonight her face had a different glow.

Surprsingly slience fell upon us not much words were been exchanged between us which was very odd because normally when we were together we talked alot and we were both just staring into each other eyes.

I guess this is were I make my move.

I gently placed my hand on her cheeks and moved my face closed to her. The women stared back into my eyes and I stared back at her .

Looking at her from this close I noticed for the first time that her eyelashes were a bit thick.

Her eyes were closed. I also closed my eyes.

My lips then touched something soft. This was the first I felt another person's lips.

We then separated our lips from each other and she let out a cute giggle.

I went in for a kiss again but this time it was more passionate. Fuka opened her lips and proactively extended her tongue, this was a bit surprising but I answered her feeling. I welcomed Fuka's tongue and entangled it with my tongue. Somehow both our tongues got into a tongue fight.Fuka was not just a good kisser but a good tongue fighter as well. She then separated her lips from mines and I started to feel her kissing and licking my neck.

Whatever she was doing to my neck felt good. I then grabbed her and placed her on top of me she was now sitting right above my manhood.

I then started kissing her neck went up to her cheeks and blew some air into her ear which caused her to let out a sexy moan. While kissing my hands travelled from her back and were now reaching towards her butt, I gently grabbed her butt which surprised her, causing her to straighten her back and I went for the neck kisses once more. While kissing Fuka pulled her face back and asked.

"Who's leg is this?"

I looked and said with a grin.

"That's not a leg."

Fuka let out a naughty laugh and went in for a kiss again.

The longer kiss went the more passionate it got. We then separated from each other, we stopped cause if we carried on things would have escalated even further.

Fuka got off me.

I looked at her face it was red.

"I guess this makes it official"

I said.

She came close to me and gave me a small kiss.

"I will take that as yes."

I added.

She let out a giggle.

We then exchanged a few sweet words before she left.

"Damn, what an amazing woman!"

I said to myself as I sat on the bench looking at the stars.

I finally have a girlfriend,I can't wait to tell Kiyo and Kei.

After 10 minutes I got up and decieded to head back down. I saw more students and we were given time to mingle with the first years.

I chatted with the likes of Shina, Ibuki, Albert,Ishizaki and a few students from 1A.

Besides that nothing much happened. No exam was announced. We all went to our beds.

Narrator

Everyone fell asleep except for Rin who for some reason could not fall asleep. The same thing was happening to Fuka too.

( Author's note: Thank you for reading.)

Chapter 15: The man called Tsukishiro

( "Author's note: This chapter happens after a timeskip. The following events happened before this chapter*Ichinose's history been exposed, Class vote exam, Yamauchi expulsion and Kiyotaka stopping Ichinose from dating Nagumo.")

Kiyo POV

"This event was won by Class A. Therefore, the results of this final exam were won by Class A with 4 wins and 3 losses. Class C also gave great resistance."

Sakagami-sensei who was silent after the chess match ended , declared the event over.

The chess match is over. I will have to come up with a excuse for my classmates. Our class will return back to Class D.

"This was a good match, Ayanokouji-small fought to the end, if you feel sad, you can come cry on your teacher's chest "

Hoshimiya sensei said.

"Hoshimya."

Sakagami sensei called her out.

Hoshimiya sensei tried to comfort me

She then walked close to me.

"But Ayanokouji small, it seems that you too are a genuis like your brother. The way you intefered in the Arithmetic Mental, in the Written Examination you answered the quetion wth the highest difficulty and you also played well against Sakayanagi-san... "

She thought for a while before carrying on.

"Could it be that you were hiding your abilities all this time?"

"I'm not hiding anything , my brother just helped me prepare for the exam. "

"Is that so, but I don't think you can perform like this with a few days of practice. The other teachers say your brother is a genius and since you are related to him and you two grew up in the same house, it can only mean you are as smart as him."

It seems like she reslly wanted to get information out of me, before I could I reply Hoshimiya sensei then spoke again.

"Now I see why Sae chan is hooked on you. Don't worry I won't tell the other students what happened here."

She then put her hands on my shoulder, brought her face close to my ear and said

"I don't hate students like you but once i see you as a enemy it will turn to hatred. I've dealt with many students and people like you before."

She said that last sentence in a cold tone.

She and Sakagami sensei then started cleaning up.

"Was that last move a wise choice?"

Sakayangi who was waiting forme by the door asked me.

I just nodded.

I noticed she wasn't happy.

"Are you not happy you defeated me?"

I asked her.

"No, I was expecting you to beat me."

"You are a cruel person Ayanokouji-kun."

A voice I was not familiar with said to me.
I looked back to see the owner of the voice, it belonged to a who was man in a black suit, he looked like a middle age man and had a smile on his face.

Who is he?

I asked myself.

"What do you mean, Director Tsukishiro?"

Sakayangi asked.

Director Tsukishiro , so he is the man replacing Sakayangi's father that meant the person I'm looking at is the man that has been sent by my father.

Before he could speak a man called out to the Director.

"Sorry kids, adults have a lot to do."

He walked right passed us. Sakayangi who had questions was just ignored by him.

I saw people walking into the room and teachers along with us were all asked to leave the room by the Director.

I wanted to leave but Sakayangi asked me to have a chat with her.

We went to a quiet hallway.

When we arrived Sakayangi asked me questions about what the Director was talking about but I did not have the answer she looking for.

The figure of the Director appeared once again.

We kept quiet and he silently walked towards us.

"Sakayangi you still look lost. Allow me answer your questions."

"Director what happened?"

Sakayangi asked.

Director Tsukishiro then explained how he interfered in the chess game and from the way he spoke I got an idea of his character.

Sakayangi who was shocked.

"Why didn't you say anything Ayanokouji-kun?"

"Even if he tells the teacher, it's useless. No, apart from that he can't say anything at all."

The Director then carried on speaking.

"He is a genius from the White Room and he has forced the situation onto himself by sneaking into this school. After all he chooses not to be the center of attention?"

"Why are you sad, a victory is a victory or are you not happy?"

"... Director Tsukishiro, you're really good at provocation. But you will pay for this."

Students would not want to make a enemy of Sakayangi but in front Director Tsukishiro she was just a child that liked to brag.

"Now. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji."

Changing his attention from Sakayangi to me. The Director took one step towards me.

"Can you be a good child and listen to your father's orders?"

He said to me.

"I've made my decision and I have no intentions of leaving this school."

"Fufu, interesting."

Sakayangi seemed like she had something say.

"Director Tsukishiro, why did y..."

With a smile on his face,the Director kicked Sakayangi's cane and naturally she began to start falling.

I reached out and grabbed hold of her but I was immediately met with a elbow strike to my body. I forcibly took the hit.

He came at me again in quick succession, grabbing my me by the neck and pinning me against the wall with bewildering, superhuman strength, this time I had no choice and was forced to drop Sakayangi.

This man's strength was not average.

"Seems like the rumours I heard about you were all lies."

He pressed my throat so hard that I could not make a sound.

"You're are really bad Director Tsukishiro."

"You brought all this onto Ayanokouji, Sakayangi if you could have just followed my instructions and have him drop out during the Class vote exam none of this would have happened."

So the Class vote wasn't just a coincidental exam, he was the one behind it.

"Do you think your violent behaviour against a student will go unnoticed?"

"There's no need for me to worry about it. The surveillance cameras in this area have been doctored to show dummy footage."

So no matter what happens here, there wouldn't be any recording of it but I just couldn't trust his words.

"Ayanokouji
I have a message from your father, he is tired of your childish games and request you return home immediately. Blink twice if you agree?"

I wasn't given a option to refuse.

"So you have no intentions of making it easy for yourself."

The Director got bored and started mumbling to himself.

In response to my silence the Director's grip on my throat became even tight.

It was hurting alot. He was a thoroughly trained, skilled opponent that an ordinary student wouldn't be able to deal with.

Tsukishiro then began to loosen his grip when he saw that I had no intentions of fighting back.

"I officially take office the beginning of next year. Look forward to that kids."

And with that the Director left us and walked away.

"That was a wise decision, Ayanokouji-kun."

"He's the acting director. Had I chosen to retaliate, I don't know how he would've used it against me."

I replied to her.

If I also chose to fight back, all of Rin's hardwork of coming here would go to waste.

I was not worrying about the Director because this is not a battle I will be fighting alone, I have my brother with me.

"Are you hurt?"

"I'm used to stuff like this."

After a few minutes of silence.

Sakayangi spoke up.

"Please play with me again beginning from the move before the temporary chairman interfered!"

I could easily reject her proposal right here and now.But, if I did, I felt something inside Sakayanagi would break. And, something within me as well.

"I accept but where shall we do it?"

"Did you know that there is a chess board in the library?"

"No... that's the first time I've heard of it."

"I have used it to play chess there sometimes so let's move over there."

Finding no reasons to reject her proposal, we moved to the library.There was nobody there today, maybe because the special exam was over.

Inside the library, which was too quiet, I found the chess board.I then placed the board on a little table, just large enough for two people.Sakayanagi arranged the pieces to the state it was before.

We then played from where we left. There was silence between us and before long the game came to the end.

"As expected of you, Ayanokouji-kun. It's my loss."

We exchanged a few words. I offered another match but she refused.

Sakayangi then lowered her head.

"Ayanokouji-kun. You are without doubt a genius, you are in no way a fake."

I returned the pieces aboard back to its original place.

"It's with regret that I say this but I will keep a distance from you from now on. If I were to continue fixating myself on you, your classmates would probably get suspicious.Furthermore..."

"Furthermore?"

"I wanted to get to know you, get to know you so badly. I was always, always chasing after you.To me, you are the childhood friend I never got to meet. If I could compete with you that easily,"

"There is no time for us in the same grade to be fighting among each other when thinking of that temporary chairman, Tsukishiro, right? "

I said

"But with your brother here , even the likes of Director Tsukishiro may have trouble. "

"You really think highly of my brother."

"Well of course father always spoke highly about your brother when I was little. And your brother from a young age did amazing things and produced great results."

That was true from that time I've been spending with my brother I noticed that he was not on my level.

"My dream was to always face you and get to witness the greatness of your brother."

I too wanted to see my brother's abilities, but wishing for something like that was pointless cause there was one no one in this school that could push my brother to a point of forcing him to go all out.

I nodded to her statement.

"There was even a moment were I thought I'd marry him."

"Eh"

This statement caught me off guard and left me with a surprised expression.

Sakayangi noticed it and said.

"Fufu seems like I let Ayanokouji-kun witness a embarrassing sight."

I let out a laugh and with that the talk about my brother came to a close.

"This may be long overdue but allow me."

Not knowing what she was talking about. I felt her hugging. It did not feel like that of lover but like one of a best friend or like Rin says a cousin.

We then walked back to the dorms as we watched the sunset. Exchanging a few stories.

Rin POV

I was reading a book until I received a message from Sakayangi.

'Thank you for not interfering. Rin-senpai.'

The message read.

Who won then?

I then heard the door opening seems like Kiyo came to say hi.

I got up and went to see him in the living room.

"Yo."

He said.

"Who won?"

I asked.

"You better sit down for this it's a long story."

Kiyo POV

Before Rin could sit down he looked at me strangely and walked towards me. He then scanned my neck area and said.

"Who did this to your neck?"

My brother asked me in a calm tone. There was no sign of anger in his face.

We sat down and I explained everything that had happened and I did not try to leave anything out.

"You can have some food I prepared. I'm going out for a walk."

My brother said as he left the apartment.

Rin POV

So his name is Tsukishiro.

I am heading for the building were Tsukishiro is.

"Excuse me. I'm looking for the Director."

I said to the office receptionist.

She recognized my face and she then gave me directions to his office.

"Thank you."

I said to her.

Before I could start walking.

"Oh wait, The Director is currently in a meeting."

I see.

"I'm sorry there's just too much work going on and my mind is just all over the place."

She said

"Its okay."

Seems like my meeting with Tsukishiro will have to wait.

Narrator

As Rin was leaving the office building he came across an unfamilar man, the man had black hair and dark blue eyes. He looked to be around the same age as Mashima-sensei. Rin and the man walked past each other and they both exchanged side stares for a few seconds before they dissappered from each other's sight.

Rin POV

That guy he seems very suspicious.

Who is he?

Seems like I will have to meet the Director another time.

From what Kiyo told me. It seems like the Director hasn't figured out I am Kiyo's brother. Now that I think about it that might actually be a adavantage for me.

I started thinking of how things will change in the upcoming months now that Father has started to make his moves.

My thoughts were then cut short when I received a message from Manabu.

( Thanks for reading. See you in the next chapter.)

Ciao.

(Next chapter: Graduation)

Graduation: The Horikitas and The Ayanokoujis

Rin POV

"Thank you for coming."

Kiryama said.

I nodded.

He asked me to meet him for coffee, he wanted to discuss a few things with me. Since the sports festival ended, he and I haven't been talking much to each other. He has been busy with his student council duties espeacially recently as he has been appointed vice president.

"How's life as vice president?"

"Its tough, the workload is just too much."

"I see, so what did you want to discuss?"

"I want to talk about our class."

He said.

"I'm listening."

"Can you be honest with me, do you thing our class can surpass Nagumo's class."

Currently our class was around 900 class points behind 2A, we just finished our final exams recently and the class points earned from the exams will be added to our class points next year when we return as third years. Having observed my classmates academic skills and the exam questions' level of difficulty. I think we'd earned around 70 class points, and Nagumo's class has students that are academical strong they most likely performed better than our class, so the gap will widen a bit. Before even thinking of surpassing 2A, earning 500 class points alone would be challenging.

Even if we tried to fight our hardest to close the gap, Nagumo controlled all classes in our year , the only difference is that our class had a few of Nagumo's followers compared to the other classes.

"I can't answer your question and I have no interest in surpassing Nagumo's class."

Kiryama's face stiffened a bit after my response.

"I see."

Since I came to this school Kiryama has been trying to convince me to partner with him and help the class move forward.

"Now, can I hear your answer too, since you've been with our classmates longer than I have.."

I said.

"No, the possibility is very low."

He response was quicker than I expected.

"A low possibility does not mean its impossible."

"The only option is to gather 20 million points, but no one in our school holds that much points expect for Nagumo, however Nagumo introduced a new method."

Interesting.

"So what's this method you talking about?"

"Nagumo is someone who sees people as toys to entertain himself, starting from next year Nagumo will implement a system where everyone in the grade gives him their private points to pool enough points as tickets to transfer to Class A, and he would then let everyone compete for those tickets amongst each other. "

I listened to Kiryama as he spoke and looking at him now, it seems that Kiriyama himself plans on taking part in it.

What I have realised about the students from Class C and D, to them Nagumo looked like a saint, some students in our class were starting to see him in that way too. Few months into the second the year Kiryama says Nagumo has started collecting points from the 2nd years, he does not let any 2nd year student hold more than 500 000 private points. That means the private points we won from the sports festival, the 2nd years handed half of it to Nagumo, that's why he wasn't bother by losing the festival in terms of overall points.

Right now when I look at it, I'm not sure whether I should admit Nagumo has great dictatorship skills or the 2nd years lack a backbone. It also meant that if you were to go against Nagumo, you'd be going against not just him but the rest of the 2nd years too.

"I'm sure soon Nagumo will talk to you about this system and what will you do?

Kiryama asked.

"I'm not interested."

"What?"

Kiryama became surprised at my answer.

After my talk with Kiryama, Kiryama stood up and left me still at the cafe.

I looked at Kiryama's back. Manabu, are you sure that's the guy you put your trust on dethroning Nagumo.

Narrator

Students finally finishing the final exams and the final semester came to a close. For Kiyotaka it was the end of been a first year and for Rin it was the end of been a second year. However the students were not yet allowed to enjoy their vacation, all students were requested to attend the 3rd year's graduation ceremony normally it was optional to attend the ceremony but Nagumo or I must say President Nagumo made it compulsory for all students to attend as this moment was Nagumo's first time addressing the school as President.

Students started filling up the empty seats in the auditorium.

Kei POV

Where is Kiyotaka?

I looked around but he was nowhere to be seen. I looked towards his friend group but still did not see him.

"Is something the matter, Karuizawa-chan?"

Sato who was seating to my left asked.

"Its nothing."

I replied.

"Are you sure?"

She asked again.

Lately I've been noticing that Sato-chan acts a bit strange around me. Spending lots of time with Kiyotaka, Rin and Fuka I've sort of developed a intuition on people and how they act.

Matsushita was just listening quietly.

Narrator

While behind one the rooms three figures were presented.

"Thank you guys."

Older Horikita said to the Ayanokouji Brothers.

"It's no problem."

Rin answered and Kiyotaka just nodded.

"Good luck."

Older Horikita said as he exited the room once the door closed.

Rin grabbed Kiyotaka in a arm hold.

"Wait..wait..wait."

Kiyotaka kept screaming trying to escape the hold.

"Don't wait me! You the one who hold him about the piano thing."

Rin said.

"But..."

Kiyotaka managed to escape the hold and started throwing some punches at his brother.

The Ayanokouji Brothers were experiencing what you'd call a sibling fight.

The lights went off in the auditorium indicating the start of the graduation ceremony.

The third years occupied the seats in the front.

The ceremony opened with a speech from the Princinpal, followed by speeches from the 3rd year teachers.

Next up was a speech from the Student Council President Nagumo Miyabi.

He received a heart warming welcome mainly from the second years.

"Good morning teachers, students and third years..."

In Nagumo's speech he spoke about how Older Horikita has inspired him, and he gave a few words to to how the school year will change starting from next year. With Nagumo's speech concluding.

He said.

"I now welcome my senpai and the former president, Horikita-senpai."

Older Horikita walked up to the stage and shook hands with Nagumo before starting with his final speech as a high school student.

"Good afternoon dear faculty, staff, friends, students and classmates. I'm really honoured to be speaking here..."

Older Horikita spoke about the ups and downs in his high school life.

Older Horikita's classmates and the other 3rd years were on the verge of getting emotional.

'With that my friends I conclude my speech."

The crowd showered Older Horikita with applauses. Older Horikita still standing on the stage said.

"To conclude the ceremony I invite my senpai and a close friend up on stage."

The audience was left with question marks above their head. Nagumo and the other second years were dumbfounded at his statement.

Before the students could get more time to process Older Horikita's statement, the lights in the auditorium went off and a light was shone at the middle part of the stage. The curtains rolled out and a familiar figured appeared...

Kiyo POV

My brother and I stopped fighting and were now doing the final touches.

"Chin up."

My brother ordered, he was ensuring the bowtie on my neck was neat.

I then did the same to him.

Our hair looked very different than usual and we were dressed in outfits we never thought we'd ever wear in high school.

Older Horikita's speech was playing in one of the speaker's in the room.

Normally I wouldn't do something like this but getting to do it with my brother got me excited and I did not mind standing out a bit.

I wonder what Kei will say about this.

"Are you nervous?"

My brother asked me.

"Yeah."

"Well lets kill it, bro."

I said fist pumping my brother and we left the dressing room and headed for the stage.

Narrator

Students were surprised at the person standing on the stage. Many recognised him it was Rin. He was dressed up in white suit with black pants and a bow tie with a violin in his hand.

Rin then started playing the violin.

The sound was very soft and smooth.

Kei POV

Rin looks so good. Kiyotaka did not tell me about this.

Rin movements were perfect.

I'm sure Fuka is happy were she is.

I looked at Matsushita and Sato who were sitting next to me they were all watching in admiration, I could tell they were falling for Rin, every girl in this room was falling for Rin.

Where's Kiyotaka? How can he miss this moment?

I watched Rin, he was great after Rin had been playing for 2 minutes. we then heard piano keys.

The sound coming from the piano was playing in the same melody as Rin's violin.

But who is playing that piano and where is it coming from?

Suddenly Rin stopped playing the violin, he ended it in a high note and at the same time the lights on the stage lit,\ revealing the person playing the piano.

"Ah mou!"

I let it out of my mouth.

I doubt anyone heard cause they were also surprised.

"Kiyotaka."

Narrator

The lights went on, and person playing the piano came to view. It was Kiyotaka. He too was wearing the same formal suit as his brother.

Many students were surprised at this.

Kiyotaka then began to play a tune.

Just like how Rin had a solo, Kiyotaka was having his right now and he was killing it.

After ending his solo. Kiyotaka changed the tune and started playing Fur Elise. Which Rin joined midway through.

Right now Rin and Kiyotaka were giving a two men orchestra and their performance was on par with professionals. They played covers of some songs which were very popular amongst the students.

To end their performance. The Ayonokouji Brothers performed a song popular with the girls at AHNS, they were joined by a girl from Older Horikita's class, she was a member of the music club. She sang words to the song while the brothers played the instruments. It was spectacular. They performed the song beautiful soldier.

After the performance ended the boys bowed to the crowd with smiles. It was the first for many to witness Kiyotaka smile.

They received a standing ovation, the appluads were very loud. The students even started stomping their feet to the floor. With that the curtains rolled and the ceremony came to a end.

Kei POV

I am speechless. Kiyotaka never told me anything about this. I thought about how good he looked today and I placed both my hands on my hands on my face to hide the blush that was appearing on my face.

"Oh my, I am in love."

Matsushita said.

"Yeah me too."

Nene added.

Who are you in love with?

I was happy for Kiyotaka but my relationship with him wasn't public yet. this meant in the upcoming weeks Kiyotaka will be popular with the girls.

Ahh I might turn into a jealous girlfriend.

The girls around me were surprised at how Kiyotaka looked and Matsushita had fallen head over heels for Rin.

Horikita POV

My brother referred to Kiyotaka as a friend and that Rin guy as a senpai, just who is he? What's going on?

Ayanokouji looked closed to this Rin guy.

I have to find out more but for now let me enjoy the performance.

Hiyori POV

Kiyotaka and Rin-senpai . Their performance is world class. They made Fur Elise sound so much better. Playing such complex instruments this good. Hehe, it makes me happy to know they are my reading buddies.

Arisu POV

As expected from them. They are on a league of their own even in music.

I looked at my classmates they were falling in love with every note.

Masumi who was next to me surprised me, she was smiling.

"It's so amazing right, Masumi?"

"Yep."

She answered smiling.

She is clearly a maiden in love.

Ryuuen POV

Those monsters. The older brother turns out to be even a bigger monster than the younger brother.

I look at the faces of this losers around me that were enjoying this performance.

I can't wait to crush both of them.

Ichinose POV

So amazing.

Ayanokouji never told me anything about music.

He is smiling. This was my first time seeing Ayanokouji smiling. He looked like he was enjoying himself. Who's that guy next to him , that can make Ayanokouji smile.

"I'm so jealous you're friends with Ayanokouji, Honami. I'm so jealous"

"Yeah me too."

"I will introduce you guys to him."

I said.

"Is it okay if I take Ayanokouji from you Honami-san?"

"NOOOOO!"

I replied. I felt my cheeks reddening.

My classmates nearby looked at me with surprised expressions.

"Let's enjoy the performance."

I said trying to change the topic.

I looked at Ayanokouji who was playing the piano and for some reason I felt my chest starting to heat up.

Ayonkouji Group POV

"I had no idea Kiyotaka was performing."

Kesei said.

"Yeah."

Akito answered.

Haruka and Airi were both watching the performance quietly until Airi spoke.

"Wait, doesn't that guy look like Kiyotaka-kun."

Haruka,Kesei and Akito looked at Rin analyzing him and discovering he has a ressemblence close to Kiyotaka.

They decided, they will speak to Kiyotaka about it later, for now they enjoyed the performance their friend was displaying .

Timeskip

Narrator

After the performance, the names Rin and Kiyotaka were in almost every girl's mouths, and the school discovered more news that Kiyotaka and Rin were related. This news took many students by surprise. Kiyotaka's classmates were searching for Ayanokouji to question him but with the school year ending, they had to keep their questions to themselves unless they run into Ayanokouji during the holidays.

The school grounds had become empty many of the third years had left the school grounds, except for the likes of Tachibana and Older Horikita.

It was 8pm and all the third years still remaining will leave at 20:30. Right in front of the school gates were the figures of Rin, Kiyotaka, Tachibana and Manabu. They were having their last chat before Tachibana and Manabu leave.

Kiyotaka POV

Right now my brother and I came here to bid Tachibana and Older Horikita farewell. I decided to switch my phone off right after the ceremony ended. I was not ready to answer all those messages from my classmates and some students I didn't know, my brother seemed to have done the same too.

"Thank you."

Older Horikita said lowering his head at me and my brother, he was thanking me and my brother for our performance. Tachibana did same as well.

"Don't worry about it, we are friends after all."

My brother and Manabu then started having a chat.

They spoke about life. Our condition to performing in the ceremony was that Older Horikita collects private points from his classmates and the third years and hand them to my brother. My brother and I needed many private points to use as a counter measures against Director Tsukishiro in the future. We had no idea how nasty the battles in the future will look. Older Horikita managed to collect private points from his classmates and some third years but we learnt that many of the other third years handed their private points to Nagumo. Older Horikita managed collect around 18 million private point for us but Nagumo collected more from the other third years.

We noticed that 5 minutes were remaining before Older Horikta departs.

"It looks like, she hasn't arrived yet. "

Rin said.

"Seems like it, I don't blame her. I've been harsh on her since she arrived here. "

They were talking about Horikita.

Was she planning to not come bid her brother farewell.

"Nee-san! Nee-san!"

The voice belonged to younger Horikita she was running towards our direction.

She then arrived and stopped next to me and she was breathing heavily.

"Nee-san."

She said in a soft tone.

To young Horikita no one besides her brother was in her vision. My brother, Tachibana and I took a step away from the Horikita siblings to give them some privacy.

The three of us quietly watched the Horikta siblings interact and then we saw them hugging each other. This Horikita was completly different from the one I've met a year ago. She exchanged more words with her brother.

"Suzune, I want you to meet Rin Ayanokouji."

The Horikita siblings walked towards us.

"He is the older brother of your classmate Kiyotaka."

Older Horikita added.

My brother and young Horikita exchanged a handshake.

"It's good to meet you, Ayanokouji-senpai."

Young Horikita said with a bow.

"Rin, I leave her in your care."

If Sudo were to be present and hear such a line coming from his crush's older brother his heart would be shattered.

"Don't worry I will watch her for you."

Rin said.

It was now 20:30 and Older Horikita and Tachibana were now leaving. Tachibana exchanged a hug with young Horikita and she gave my brother a tight hug, she had tears falling from her eyes

When she got to me, she just gave me a handshake. She will hate me till the end, but what she did next surprised me.

Tachibana kicked my left leg and said.

"That's for all disrespect you've showed me."

"That hurt Tachibana."

I said rubbing the spot she kicked.

Rin and both the Horikitas just laughed.

Rin POV

Manabu gave Suzune one final hug.

He then came towards Kiyo and I.

"I wish I could've known you guys even longer, but I guess this is it."

He exchanged a nod with Kiyo. I gave him a fist pump.

He and I came to know each other in a few months and within those months we became best friends, watching him leave was quite sad.

"Till we meet again."

Manabu left me with those words.

Manabu and Akane then started walking towards the school gates.

Kiyo POV

We were watching their backs as they were about to exit the school. My brother called out their names.

"Akane! Manabu!"

They turned to look at Rin.

"The next time we meet , will be when you two are getting married!"

Tachibana turned red at this statement while Manabu raised his right hand and did a thumbs up.

Both their figures then disappeared from our view. Older Horikita was no longer with us.

"Thank you Ayanokouji and Ayanokouji-senpai for today."

The voice belonged to young Horikita.

She was not showing her face at us.

"We did not do much."

I said.

"No, today my brother embarks on a new journey and you two showed him a great performance, it would have also been sad if no one came to see him off, so for that I thank you guys."

Right now Horikita was only giving her back towards us.

I was surprised till now Horikita managed to not cry.

Rin and I were still starring at the gate

"Nee-san! Nee-san! Nee-san!..."

Horikita collapsed , and fell on her knees. Her voice started to tremble slowly.

"Nee-san is gone...!"

Horikita repeated those words and tears began to flow out from her eyes.

The brother she had been chasing all her life has moved to a next stage.

I noticed my brother walk towards Horikita who has been weeping loudly like a child. Rin went down and hugged the crying Horikita.

Horikita buried her face on Rin's chest and cried even more.

Rin rubbed her back as she kept crying.

I exchanged looks with my brother, and in that moment my brother and I realised our days together are numbered. Next year this time, will I also be like Horikita?

Thinking about it, I looked at the night sky as Horikita cried and cried.

Thanks for reading

Adios

Chapter 17

"Coffea? Tea?"

The man asked with a smile.

"No thank you."

With a cup of coffee in his hands the man walked towards his desk and sat on his chair crossing both his legs as he placed them on the desk.

Judging from his actions there was no hint of this man not enjoying the Director position.

"You seem to be enjoying your holidays Ayanokouji?"

"What business do you have with me Director?"

"Oh, look at that seems like you are not very fond of me."

"How can I be fond of you? Considering everything you've done since your arrival."

"Since you and I got off the wrong foot, maybe we can try to fix things between us."

"Director I will ask again, why did you call me here?"

"Regarding that, I will answer that when I want to."

Having had enough of his bs I tried to get up to leave his office but then...

"Ha Ah Ah, I woundn't do that if I were you Ayanokouji."

Considering his previous actions that warning was enough to stop me from leaving the office.

"Well then take your time."

I said.

"Let's talk about this view."

Director Tsukishiro's office had a big glass window which gave him a nice view of the school fields. He turned his gaze towrds the window and I did the same as well , We stared at the window for five minutes then the Director turned his gaze back at me.

"You may think of this as time wasting and may want to leave my office and ignore me but a smart kid like yourself knows that doing something like that would be taboo."

It was his way of reminding that I am a student and his the Director and I should know my place.

"I understand."

"Seems like you have no intentions of dropping out"

"I am enjoying my life here."

"You know I am a very busy man, I'm annoyed at how much time I am spending dealing with all this."

Considering everything he did a few minutes ago it did not seem that way.

"So how's that my problem."

Silence fell and the Director stared directly into my eyes I then carried went on and spoke.

"Why not resign?"

"I can't, because if I do that, I won't survive in this world cause after all I want to do is climb up the social ladder as well."

"I see."

"I've seen what you've achieved in that place and to be honest I myself see you as a very extra ordinary child. Your abnormal ability adults can't match. However I am not an ordinary adult."

A smiled appeared on his face. It felt like he was giving me a warning if the chance of him and I having to fight each other, he would win.

"Anyway I ask you give up cause I plan to resist until the end no matter what."

"I see, I admire the ability you poses but I'd like to tell you are no longer the number one student of that place. Many students from generations after yours have shown ability equal to you or even surpass yours. You are not that special."

"If that's the case, there won't any point for me going back."

"If you were not the son of that man, that would be true. Your father really wants to bring you to a higher domain. Even if he looks like a cold person, that man is still your father. He firmly believes that you are an existence that can become a model, and lead the masses."

"I suggest he forgets that because I will never return to that place. This were I belong, I love been here."

"What's does a kid like you know about love? You are nothing but a lab rat."

Hearing the those words come out the Director's mouth hurt me.

He then went on to share his thoughts about the white room.

"Seems like there is no way to gain your trust."

"Sorry. I think you should just give up Director Tsukishiro."

"Hehe don't worry about me, I will not fail. Seems like you and I will fight, Ayanokouji."

"Seems like it."

"How about we play a little game Ayanokouji?"

He went on and shared to details of the game, after that the meeting came to an end and I left his office.

Rin POV

' Cool, I will see you later in the evening.'

Call ends.

Seems like the Kiyotaka's meeting with the Director went peacefully. I'm still yet to meet this new Director but I can feel our encounter is just around the corner then there's that man I walked past, at first I thought he was the Director but when I compared him to the facial information I received from both Arisu and Kiyo the features did not match with that man. I need to wrap my finger around who that man is, cause I can feel he will be a very big problem for us.

Well let's get the day going.

Third POV

"Rin, I admit you are very talented at many things but shooting games is definately not your thing."

Akira said as his in game character was reviving Rin's character for the 7th time.

"I just started playing this game yesterday and didn't I warn you not to expect a lot from me."

Rin is currently in Akira's room and they've been gaming for 4 hours with no care in the world. They were having their so called 'bros time'.

"Whew, that was a hectic match."

"Yeah."

They both put down the controllers ending their gaming session for the day.

Akira stood up and went to get two cans of soda and passed one can to Rin.

"Thanks."

"Man, I still can't believe that I would see the day that I'd become a third year."

"You better believe it, in two weeks school starts again."

"Yeah means more exams, tests and studying."

"Yeah."

"Many classes have given up hope as graduating from Class A , the only class that stands for competing for class A is your class."

"I wouldn't say that if I were you, from what I've seen so far many of them are starting to back down from trying ."

"Really?"

"Yeah, even the so called 'I am the only one who can stop Nagumo' has started to bait for the Class A tickets."

"Haha, you mean Kiryama?"

"Yeah."

"It figures I still don't get how he was placed into Class A."

"I've been asking myself the same thing."

Akira let out a heavy sigh then said.

"Seems like it might just be two of us that will try to dethrone Nagumo."

"Yeah, but don't worry I made a promise to Manabu that I will take care of Nagumo, and make sure the school system is unchanged."

"I've got your back my friend, but say that we manage to remove Nagumo from his president seat, don't you think the school will go on a uproar when the seat will be left empty."

"Regarding Nagumo's successor, I've already listed a few candidates."

Regarding Nagumo as the best student in the school was not something debatable considering everything he has achieved within the school. No one can deny that ANHS is Nagumo's kingdom, he controls 95% percent of the third years, has power on deciding who he can expel.

"You know I've meaning to ask, do you have a lady you fancy ?

"That came out of nowhere dude."

"I'm just asking, many girls have taken an interest in you."

"Well unfortunately for them, I've already got a lady in my life."

"What. Really?"

"Yep."

Rin said nodding happily.

"Is she from our school or what?"

"She's from our school, our grade, my class ?"

"Your class? Let me see."

"Who are the hotties from your class?"

Akira asked himself as he begun to

"Since you brought it up, I guess I will tell you straight up, I'm dating Fuka."

"Fuka?...you mean Kiryuuin?"

"Yep."

"Congrats man."

Akira stood up went over to Rin and gave him a high five.

"Thanks."

"Many have tried thier luck on her but they all failed. "

"What about you, do you have a woman in your life?"

"Not yet, but I plan on asking the girl out soon. She makes me so happy bro, meeting her has been the best thing that has happened since I enrolled here. "

"Look at you lover boy. Who's the lucky girl?"

"Chiaki."

"Who's that? Wait? Are you talking about Chiaki from my broher's class."

"Yeah, that's her."

"Well she's pretty."

"Man, I've never felt this way for a girl before."

"Cheers to love."

Rin said and they both made a toast with the empty cans and then laughed.

"Let's go get something to eat."

Rin and Akira left the dorm and headed to a restaurant at Keyaki Mall.

Timeskip

Third PO V

2nd floor men's bathroom at Keyaki Mall, stood two men conversing.

"So? Why did you call me here? You really got time for jokes."

"Hey calling it a joke doesn't sound nice, I just wanted to have a chat with my Class 1C buddy."

"Buddy my left ass."

Ryuuen was currently called to by Hashimoto to have a meeting. He and Hashimoto made deals during their first year neither of them trusted each other. They were just two students that shared mutual interest.

"Congratulations on defeating Class B in the final exams, Bravo Ryuuen, Bravo. Does this mean you back in the race for class A?"

Ryuuen let out a cocky smile.

"Are you scared?"

Hashimoto just raised his hands showing he does not want to fight.

"I mean considering your reputation, being cautious of you is normal."

"Did Sakayanagi send you?"

"Who knows?"

That answer was enough for Ryuuen to deduct that Hashimoto had come for his personnal interests.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Do I have plans for the future?"

Ryuuen then approached Hashimoto, but Hashimoto quickly stiffened up and went into a defensive stance.

"Do you think you can win just by playing double agent."

"Do you think I'd plan on saving myself with relying on just two classes?"

Seems like Hashimoto was not just working with Ryuuen alone but was working with someone from another class as well.

Hashimoto picked his phone and then made a call. Ryuuen realised that the person on the other side was expecting the call.

"Who do you think I called just now? Ryuuen."

"Who knows."

"It's Ayanokouji."

"Ayanokouji? Ah, for a moment I thought it would be him."

Ryuuen didn't seem to be affected by Hashimoto mentioning that name.

Hashimoto's hopes of trying to gain whatever information he could unexpectedly fell through.

However, he felt it was too early to give up, and stubbornly continued to pursue what he wanted

"Can you think of a reason why I called Ayanokouji here?"

"No."

Ryuuen bluntly replied, and then quickly continued.

"Did you really call him over? I don't think you did."

The original objective was to feel him out, but now, Hashimoto was being felt out himself.

"...Really! It seems like vague lies won't work on you."

Hashimoto tried to test Ryuuen by saying Ayanokouji's name and seeing if it would bring out a reaction from him.

But Ryuuen acted as if he heard nothing at all, and was being a bit troublesome.

"What you're talking about is a complicated and chaotic situation. Do you have an inside story about it, Hashimoto?"

Instead, he asked the suspecting Hashimoto if he had gotten any information from an insider.

Ryuuen wasn't putting on an act, saying those words.

Even so, it didn't eliminate the doubts that Hashimoto had around the situation with Ryuuen and Ayanokouji.

It was because there was no way the all-powerful Ryuuen could be easily defeated by Ishizaki and the others.

He could also see Ayanokouji's shadow behind Sakayanagi's actions.

If he had just one more clue, his doubts on the matter could be removed.

"The one who's really coming is."

Sounds of footsteps approaching the second-floor toilet could be heard by the two students , suddenly a male student appeared.

"Ah? Looks like you called out an interesting person, Hashimoto!"

Appearing in front of Ryuuen and Hashimoto was Class 1B's Ryuji Kanzaki.

These three people who normally didn't exchange words came together.

"He said he really wanted to talk to you. So I acted as a middleman to bring you two together."

"So? What do you get in return?"

"Isn't it obvious? Of course, it's a cooperative relationship with Class B."

"You are really sly Hashimoto. Plus Sayakanagi framed Ichinose. In other words, you're enemies. Do you really think Kanzaki could accept it?"

"He'll accept it. Right? Kanzaki."

"I won't trust you, Hashimoto. But you're of value."

"You heard him!"

Hashimoto showed Ryuuen that as long as their interests were the same, even he and Kanzaki could cooperate.

Then, Hashimoto put his hand on Kanzaki's shoulder while laughing out loud.

"Listen to what he wants to say, do it for me."

"You're not going to bore me, are you?"

"Although I don't know what you're expecting from me, I'm not going to say anything which will please you."

Kanzaki continued without fear of Ryuuen.

He came here to say these very words.

"The end of year exam. That's what I want to talk about."

"Are you going to recount your feelings after suffering that crushing defeat?"

"I'm sorry Ryuuen, I don't think we lost to you."

"You played dirty to steal the win from us. Don't forget that!"

Kanzaki's complaints were not hard to understand.

It was because he had the confidence that he could beat Ryuuen in a head to head confrontation, but the victory was snatched away from them due to Ryuuen's despicable strategy.

"How boring. Did you come here today to specifically talk about that?"

In Ryuuen's eyes, there was no difference between a clean and a dirty strategy.

A victory was a victory. And Kanzaki's defeat was something that would never change.

"Anyways, what dirty strategy are you talking about? Is it about me being the commander?"

"Don't act stupid! I'm talking about the stomach ache and your mental attacks on my class on the day of the exam.

Hashimoto, who didn't know much about the details of their exam, applauded happily. He seemed be enjoying himself.

"No wonder he's that angry. What a beautiful attack, Ryuuen!"

"I'll say this now, that kind of despicable behaviour will not work against Class B in the future."

"Hahaha. Do you think Ichinose can defend against my attacks? Or do you intend to cry and complain to the school?"

"No, she shouldn't be able to do anything about it."

Kanzaki immediately denied it. Because this was not something that a kind-hearted person like Ichinose could do.

"Then who can prevent it?"

"I will."

Facing off against Kanzaki without hesitation, two conflicting thoughts emerged in Ryuuen's mind.

Was he just bluffing, or

"But as Ichinose's follower, what can you do by yourself?"

Ryuuen tried to feel out what Kanzaki meant by saying those words.

"Throughout the year, I stood by Ichinose to support her as her assistant. But that's because at the moment I came to this school, I decided that her leadership skills were superior to those from the other classes. That's it. My trust in her hasn't wavered yet, but she lacks the ability to deal with these emergency situations. She also has a huge weakness in being unable to abandon the weak."

"Hou? I thought this was going to be a bore, I didn't expect you to be this interesting. Who would have thought that someone from Class B, valuing cooperation and friendship and all that, would have such thoughts."

But Ryuuen was not at all worried.

"But you're all talk. Even a dog can yell out empty threats."

"Watch me. I'll prove it."

Hashimoto only helped Kanzaki in order for him to establish a relationship with Class B, but now his evaluation of Kanzaki had changed. Maybe he was more capable than he initially thought.

"Sure. If you wish, I'll beat you down even harder next time."

"I don't know what dirty trick you still have up your sleeve, but I'm not the same as Ichinose. I won't show mercy. I hate that we lost in our own territory, so I'll fight with everything I've got."

"Then let me look forward to when your class isn't so shit."

Ryuuen laughed half-heartedly and started to relieve himself.

Hashimoto, who wanted to continue talking, walked towards where Ryuuen stood.

"It's getting interesting, Kanzaki. If anything ever happens, you've got to talk to me about it."

Hashimoto thought that Kanzaki would leave after his declaration, so he left him with a parting message.

Instead, Kanzaki walked towards Hashimoto, and ended up next to him.

He exerted a pressure that was felt by everyone present, to show that he had no intention of losing to them.

After finishing off his business, Kanzaki once again spoke with conviction.

"Ryuuen I did not just to talk about that, I've come for something else."

"I've been digging into something. At the beginning of first year you had your eyes on Class 1D, you were responsible for the Sudo incident, during the sports festival you also caused problems for them, but then suddenly your determination on crushing Horikita's class suddenly vanised the same moment you decided to step down as class leader. Something between you and Horikita's class happened behind the scenes that pushed you to step down."

Hashimoto who quietly listened to Kanzaki begun to connect the dots on how determined Ryuuen was with Horikita's class.

Ryuuen went on to let out a laugh and said.

"Kukuku, seems like you've been playing Sherlock Holmes during the spring break. "

"On the last day of first year, I went and applied for the Student Council and Nagumo took me in. Then I had a chat with him about our year, but during the chat he kept asking about the student Ayanokouji.Out of all the students in first year why pay attention to a student like Ayanokouji."

Kanzaki was indeed not wrong questioning Nagumo's interest because when it came to Ayanokouji besides playing a piano and running fast he was just known as a average student. First year contain leaders like Ryuuen, Sakayanagi, Horikita, Ichinose and Katsurag.

"Aha, I see what you trying to get to, Kanzaki, are you saying Ayanokouji had something to do with Ryuuen stepping down."

"I do not have enough evidence to proof that, but all I can say for now is that Ayanokouji is more than what he let's on .

Ayanokouji POV

I just met Yosuke at Keyaki Mall. Today he and I would be hanging out. Since I had that chat with him back in the bench, he and I have become close friends. He's becoming something like a best friend.

We were currently heading for the arcades.

"Yosuke, you can go ahead. I need to use the bathroom."

"Cool."

We separate and I headed towards the men's bathroom located on the second floor.

Third POV

Back to bathroom scene

"And not to forget, Ayanokouji managed to hide that he has an older brother. That same brother happpens to be super atheletic, and Ayanokouji happens to be super...

"Speaking of the devil."

Ryuuen said.

Hashimoto and Kanzaki both followed Ryuuen eyes and feeling the tension in the toilet. Kiyotaka looked at the three men and said.

"Yo."

"Perfect timing Ayanokouji, we were just talking about you."

Hashimoto said with the smile. The opportunity has finally arrived were he would learn more about Ayanokouji.

"Saying it like that makes me feel uncomfortable."

Hashimoto let out a laugh and said.

"Finding three men gossiping about you in the toilet would make any men feel uncomfortable."

"Hey Ayanokouji, I've got a few questions to ask you."

Kanzaki said, he looked serious.

"You've been hiding your abilities all this time, you might be more of a issue than I thought."

With Kiyotaka not replying, Kanzaki walked even closer to Kiyotaka. Right now Kanzaki wanted answers, and it seemed liked he woundn't back down until he gets his answers.

"You sure did hide these legs you are so proud off, your swimming ability, the results you pulled off back at island exam, you really fooled everyone huh. If I have to say you are the biggest threat to my class especially considering the fact the are still more abilities you are hiding."

"What are you on about Kanzaki? Wasn't it Horikita who was responsible for the island results?"

Hashimoto who had been silent, spoke up after hearing that Kiyotaka had something to do with the Class 1D win back in the island.

"Let's be real Hashimoto, I've spoken and evauluated Horikita and there's no way she could pull a win on likes of Ryuuen and Katsuragi. Speak up Ayanokouji."

Kanzaki was beginning to lose his cool and it was at that moment Ryuuen realised that Kanzaki was capable of getting his hands if it would benefit his class.

"There's no point for us to engage in a useless dispute Kanzaki."

"This is no dispute, I'm just looking for answers, that's it."

"Well then I refuse to answer your questions."

"Tch."

Kanzaki said. He chose not to go further into the matter as he realised the answers he is searching for won't be found so he backed off.

"Oi, Ayanokouji what was that suppose to mean?"

Ryuuen asked changing the topic. Kiyotaka whom was just hoping he could use the toilet found himself having a toilet interview.

"That"- would be referring to the message Kiyotaka told Hiyori to pass on to him.

'I would have gotten more than 5 wins using a better strategy.' Kiyotaka told Shiina to tell this to Ryuuen. It seems like she had done her task well.'

"I meant what I meant. I would have done a better job if it were up to me."

"I'm free to use whatever means necessary. You lost to Sakayagani and yet you're still this calm!"

"Our class did indeed lose to Sakayanagi. And since I served as the commander tower, I can't be excused from the responsibility of failure. But is Sakayanagi stronger than me? Fight her, and you'll find out."

"Ha- are you underestimating me?"

"You, who have defeated me, can't be weaker than Sakayanagi."

This statement was enough for Kanzaki and Hashimoto to confirm that Kiyotaka was indeed responsibe for Ryuuen stepping down.

"No matter what yo say I won't believe it at all. Rather than believe that you were serious during the exam, it's more believable that you didn't care about winning or losing from the start... it may also be because of the school arranging it to make Class A win to save face. That's more believable to me."

"Are you trying to say Ayanokouji could have won against my class?"

Hashmoto was the one who asked.

"I'm sure Hashmoto, a person like should realize that the monster's brother can never lose."

The monster Ryuuen was referring to was Ayanokouji-senpai. Everyone who had encountered Ayanokouji-senpai noticed that he was different he was on a league of his own. His pressence alone was enough to slience the crowd back during the Water sports featival.

"So...? What do you plan to do now that you've return, Ryuuen?"

"Don't say I've returned without my permission. I intend to enjoy the holidays for just a bit longer."

"But... If I get tired of this, I'll destroy Ichinose and Sakayanagi as a warm-up."

"That won't happen as long as I'm here Ryuuen."

Kanzaki joined the conversation.

"You think you can stop me."

"Try me."

Kanzaki said.

"Wait and see."

"Kukuku, I'm getting pumped up, I can't wait to take him down as well."

"My brother will welcome your challenge at any time Ryuuen."

Like Rin said, The dragon was waking up from its slumber.

Once fully awakened neither Class 1B or Class 1A could ignore Ryuuen, or even the school. Ryuuen was on his way on becoming an unstoppable powerhouse.

"Let's have this chat another time Ryuuen, it seems like we've got unwanted guests here."

"What? You've got a hot date after this, Mr Piano."

Ayanokouji laughed and bid farewell to Hashimoto and exchanged stares with Kanzaki and left.

Ryuuen follwed after and left as well, Hashmoto left looking satisfied with the information he had learnt today.

Remaining in the toilet Kanzaki starring at mirror took out his phone and then made a call.

The person whom he was calling then answered the phone.

"Chie sensei, seems like you were right about Ayanokouji. We will need to take care of him ASAP."

Third POV

RIn had a long day of just hanging out with Akira and ended the day eating out with Kiyotaka, Hirata and Akira. Normally one would not brag about having met a sibling's friend but this was a big thing for him seeing his younger brother get to experience life as a odinary high school child,make friends and enjoying his youthful days.

Arriving at his apartment Rin found a man searching through his bags, standing 5 meters behind man, Rin said.

"We finally meet Director * Tsukishiro."

Thank you

A Strong Stimulus - KiyoKei(Oneshot)

Hey guys hope you all doing well, I was messing with the internet last night and I stumbled upon a interesting one shot about COTE and I just wanted to share it here with those that might be interested.

Story by @giggly-squiggily

Summary : Kei wants to hear her boyfriend laugh and takes drastic mesures to reach her goal, only for it to backfire terribly.

During a cold night of October, Kiyotaka and Kei were snuggling under the covers, seeking each other's warmth. It had been more than six months ever since they began dating and one month ever since they made it public to the school. Most of their classmates had been surprised by this revelation, which was natural as Kiyotaka and Kei were careful about keeping their relationship a secret, whether it was their professional or romantic bond.

They had gone through what most couples do together already, but something was still bothering Kei…

-"Hey… Kiyotaka?" she called out her boyfriend's name, fondly.

-"Hm?" caressing her blond locks, Kiyotaka opened his eyes to look at Kei.

-"I've never seen you smile before."

-"What is it now? I think we've already had that conversation. I smile, but it doesn't show on my face, that's it."

-"I know that! I know but… I want to see you smile…"

Then, she got an idea. Why didn't she think of it sooner? A devilish grin appeared on her face, which didn't escape Kiyotaka.

-"Take that !" Kiyotaka didn't have any time to react before Kei straddled him and started scribbling her fingers around his torso.

"Coochie coochie… coo?" her excitement fell down at once when she looked at her boyfriend's face. There wasn't even the hint of a smile there.

-"Ha..haha.. I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't be ticklish…Eh, what's with this look??"

The mischief in Kiyotaka's eyes had become apparent to her, it's subtle, but over the year they spent together, she had gained the ability to read him like no other. He was having fun.

-"I'm sorry that I'm not ticklish, Kei. But don't worry, we can still make this work."

-"What.. do you mean?"

In one swift motion, Kiyotaka had Kei stuck beneath him.

-"W-w-w-wait, Kiyotaka, you're the one supposed to laugh, not me!"

-"Let me have my fun, will you Kei?"

-"Kiyotak-ahaahahaha!" Kiyotaka found it funny how he only needed to move his fingers a bit to reduce his girlfriend to a giggling mess. Of course, he knew why laughing happened in this situation. The stimulus was perceived as an attack by the brain which doesn't have any means of defense besides laughing, probably because the shrill sounds are supposed to repulse the assailant. Which is funny considering people only tickle for the sole purpose of hearing these sounds.

-"What was it? Coochie coochie coo?" he teased.

-"WAI-AHAHAHAHAHA KIYOTAKAAHAHAAHAHAHA!"

-"What is it Kei?"

-"IT TICKLEHEHEHEEHEHES!"

-"Yes, that would be the point. Try not to wake our classmates though, you're not exactly supposed to be here at this hour. "

Kiyotaka moved his fingers along her sides, which seemed to be quite the bad spot for her. For some reason, he seemed to know exactly where to land his attacks to create the best results. He probably knew the human anatomy that well.

Kei was shaking her head from left to right, thrashing her legs and trying to stop Kiyotaka's attacks with her hands- to no avail.

He finally stopped his assault and looked at Kei's face. She was bright red and breathless.

-"Did you have fun?" he asked, fondly.

She wanted to glare at him but his voice was abnormally sweet and her eyes sparkled.

-"I-I guess, it's just too bad that I can never have my revenge on you." She pouted.

Kiyotaka was supposed to be a masterpiece, excelling in everything and anything. It would be quite funny if such a person were to have a silly weakness like being ticklish. Honestly, he would like to be, just to have more fun with Kei and let her have her way from times to times.

He moved besides her again, taking her in his arms and stroking her hair.

-"I hope I can get to hear you laugh one day too, Kiyotaka." she said with her exhausted voice, falling asleep.

I hope so too.

Chapter 18

"Found what you looking for?"

Tsukishiro looked at Rin with a smile and sat on Rin's bed.

"It's not good to keep your adults waiting. Now that I finally get see you face to face I do see some resemblance to that man."

"What do you want in my room?"

"I'm just doing what you call a little room inspection?"

It looked as if Director Tsukishiro was digging for some info about Rin.

"Why don't you have a seat? I'd like to have talk with you."

"..."

"I see so you won't talk. You know when I heard about Kiyotaka having a brother I was surprised cause I've known your father for a very long time and he's never said anything about having another child."

"Seems like you two are not close after all."

"Hmm...So Rin tell me about yourself where do you really come from and who are you?"

"I'm sure you have access to my student file, why don't go give it a look."

"You've got a foul mouth."

"Enough about me let's talk about you Tsukishiro S*o."

The moment Rin mentioned Tsukishiro's first name the expression on his face changed.

"Are you surprise Mr.Director? I must say your name does not match your face."

"Where did you learn of my name?"

"Isn't it not normal for a son to know the names of his father's dogs."

"You are really a interesting kid, however remember that you are just a student."

"Try me Tsukishiro."

Although both men had smiles on their faces the air in the room was very heavy.

A few more words were exchanged between the two.

"If you don't mind me asking does he know I'm here."

"Well I haven't informed him about you but whether he knows about you being here I'm not sure, since my mission is to bring your brother back any obstacle that stands in my way will be eradicated even if its you."

Director Tsukishiro got up from his seat and walk towards the door but before he left Rin's place, he said.

"You have until tomorrow morning to pack your stuff and move into the student dorms."

That statement was a way of the Director telling Rin that around here he is the boss.

The door closed behind him.

RIn POV

I ended up packing my stuff the moment Tsukishiro left. It took a lot for me to resist not attacking him. It seems like he does not plan on telling my father I'm here but then I can't put it past my father to not know I'm here. Time moved very slowly as I packed my stuff, read some books and watched some tv, eventually the next morning came.

It was currently 04:45.

"15 minutes till my meeting with her."

I got up from my chair and went to bathroom to take a early cold shower. I exited the building, the school grounds were empty the street lights were still on. I rushed towards the meeting place which was one of the second year dorm buildings.

I finally arrived to the building, the were a few guards in the area so I had to move as quiet as possible. I ended up using the stairs instead of the elevator and headed to the meeting dorm.

The door was open just as I requested so I quickly walked in and closed the door behind and let out some air.

"Right on time, come have a seat."

The room owner said.

I went towards her and took a sit.

"Thank you for agreeing to meet with me Rin."

"It's no biggie."

"Oh yeah, this is the first time you and I get to meet, so allow me to introduce myself I'm Nazuna Asahina"

Nazuna a member of Nagumo's class and the newly appointed member of the Student Council not just that she's also the one that informed my brother about the plan of Nagumo trying to make that Ichinose girl his girlfriend. From what I've been told about her, she does not idolize Nagumo and was one of the few 2nd years that can stand their ground but then she is also close to Nagumo.

"Well it's pleasure to meet you. I'm Ayanokouji Rin you can call me Rin so you don't confuse me with my brother."

"Thanks then you can call me Asahina."

She offered made me hot chocolate and cookies.

"I called you here to talk about President Miyabi."

"What about him?"

"I want you to do what the Former President failed to do."

"Which is ?"

"Stopping Nagumo from causing more chaos to the school."

"But why me?"

"The Former President thinks very highly and also it was you that stopped Miyabi's plan back at the swimming sports festival."

"Wait, how did you know?"

"I am the one who informed Horikita senpai that Miyabi would attack Tachibana senpai, but then I notice during the festival Horikita senpai did not leave the swimming grounds and you happen to show up right towards the end of the festival, but even with that information I still wasn't sure whether you the one who saved Tachibana senpai until I learnt that you and Horikita senpai are friends."

"I see, so it's safe to assume that Nagumo knows about it."

"Yes, but then his reaction to learning that you were the one who stopped his plan was a bit of a surprise."

"How?"

"He was very excited like a kid who just found a new toy to play with."

"So he really plans on playing with me."

"Not just you, your brother as well."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"What was Manabu to Nagumo?"

"I am not sure but two words come to my mind every time I think about those two. Validation andadmiration."

"..."

"..."

"Rin, you haven't answered my question are you going to do what Horikita senpai failed to do?"

"Before I answer that, I want you to answer my question first?"

"Go ahead."

"Why do you want Nagumo to be stopped. Look at you, you are in Class A. A class many would kill to graduate in, so why do you want me to stop the guy who's responsible for you class's success."

"Miyabi has hurt many people."

"Including you?"

I look at Asahina's eyes but then she quickly looked away to avoid my gaze.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want."

"No, that would be selfish."

"Miyabi expelled the man I loved. He was a student in your class. The reason your class still has class points today is because of him. He and I started dating back in our first year but then we agreed to keep our relationship private because we did not want to cause trouble for our respective classes, but we got to our second year the battle between him and Miyabi got intense. Miyabi been the man he is managed to get rid of him by framing him, the moment I tried to save him, he refused cause that would have put me in danger. So my plan was to get revenge with Horikita senpai but then he couldn't handle Miyabi but you showed up and I think I can give it one more shot. Someone dear to me believes in you so I will do the same."

"Don't cry Asahina. It will be alright."

I comforted her till she calmed down.

"You are terrible person Rin."

"Eh. Why?"

"You made a big girl cry."

"I will make it up to you."

" I was just kidding."

"You are a funny one."

"So, is Fu-chan been a good girlfriend."

"Eh."

"Yes I know. You going out with Fu-chan."

"Wait, how?"

"Fuka and I grew up in the same district and attended the same middle school. She's my BFF."

"Now it makes sense why she told me to accept meeting you. So she's the person dear to you?"

"Yes. We really spoke a lot today."

"Yeah, I better leave soon."

Timeskip

1 week remaining before the new school year begins. The two brothers were having dinner together in Kiyotaka's room.

"Our performance from the graduation is still causing a buzz with my classmates and the reveal of having a brother too. Looks like I will have some explaining to do once the new year starts."

"You don't have to answer to them."

"That would make it worse."

"You really like living under the radar."

Kiyotaka nodded.

"I did not think the Director would trouble you as well."

"Yeah."

"Before I forget here's my new address. Room 101 first floor of Building A."

"Thanks but there's no way I'm coming to your room. Too many eyes that side."

"Yeah, those neighbors will definitely be informing Nagumo on who comes and leaves my room."

"Its been a interesting year. Learning about the school's system, meeting my classmates, making friends, falling in love and most importantly reuniting with my big bro."

"You know, I'm happy for you. You are more human than I am. Even though I was not by your side through out your first year but looking at you now I don't think you are the same person you were when you first walked through the school gates."

"Thanks."

"Look at this."

Rin handed Kiyotaka the picture he found in his wallet of the child.

"Who is th?"

"I have no idea. I think mom put it in my wallet before I came here. "

"We can't even tell if it's a boy or a girl cause it looks the photo was taken the same day the person was born."

"Take a look behind the picture."

"17/06, so it's like the date of birth."

"Yeah. We might not know who the person is but it seems like that person is very important to us."

"We should look into it."

"You know, I've always wanted to ask, why do always put stuff behind your door?"

"Oh that, a few of my classmates have the keys to my room so I don't want them walking in here whenever they want, especially when I'm having my lovey dovey moments with Kei. I plan on getting it changed when schools open."

I understood how he felt cause not long ago I had Tsukishiro walk into my place. RIn thought

"Hmm, lovey dovey moments, mind telling me more about it lover boy."

Rin teased Kiyotaka.

"Its none of your business."

Kiyotaka replied with a hint of a blush whilst looking away from Rin.

"Oh come on, tell me."

"No. Nope. Never."

"I see."

Rin got up and walked towards Kiyotaka. Noticing the danger Kiyotaka tried to stand up and run but it was too late. Rin had grabbed him and begun rubbing his hair.

The fun moment the Ayanokouji brothers were sharing did not last long as Rin's phone began ringing.

It was aunrecognizable phone number, Rin showed the phone towards Kiyotaka but Kiyotaka nodded as he too did not recognize the cellphone as well.

Rin then answered the call.

'Hello'

'Mr Sakayanagi is that you?'

'Yes, I've got a few minutes so I will give you some information you might find useful.'

'Its your father he's started making his move. I received the list of first year enrolling next year and just as I thought a few students have appeared on that lists that were not supposed appear on the list and I've also been informed new staff members have been added to the school. I know this is a very tough time for you boys but please do not get any of my students involve in this. '

'Thank you. We will try our best.'

'One more thing. Your mother will be returning to Japan..."

The call ended.

End

Author's Note: Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Feel free to ask questions. Regarding the talk between Rin and Asahina I cut off some information but I will reveal it when the time comes. Have a great day. Thanks
