Third Person View
"Hachiman~ Merry Christmas!"
Hachiman blinks as he sees Kiana, wearing a Santa Claus theme clothes that emphasizes her cute side, with a bit of sexiness added, and her hair flowing freely behind her, grinning at him while showing him the V sign.
He glances at Mei, also in Santa Claus clothes, though her shoulder and upper part of her breast are completely exposed, shyly fidgets as she stands next to Kiana.
"H-happy new year… Hachiman," Mei shyly says while looking at the ground and twiddling her fingers together.
Kiana wraps her free hand around Mei's shoulder then puts her chin on her shoulder, "Isn't Mei the cutest? Right, Hachiman?" She smirks at him.
His lips twitch as he sees Mei's cheek redden, "Yeah, she is. And you too, Kiana." He looks down and sees him also wearing Santa Claus clothes, though there is a short white beard to complete his looks.
Mei's face erupts like a volcano that reaches her ears while Kiana blinks then beams at him with her cheeks slightly red, "Aha! See? I told you dressing up is fun!"
Hachiman lightly rolls his eyes, "Yeah yeah. But this shirt is too bright for me." He points at himself, prompting Kiana to pout.
"Awww, you look good wearing that!" She switches to a cheeky smile, "And we haven't gotten to the presents, so no taking it off!"
Mei blinks then rapidly nods, "Yeah, we put a lot of effort into our gifts, so don't ruin it!"
"…How is me complaining about my –" He sees Mei holding a tissue box while glaring at him, "Ok, shutting up now." She smiles at him then lets go of the box.
Kiana nods at him then drags Mei with her, "Just wait there! We'll go get it!"
Hachiman shrugs then sits down on a chair while grabbing 2 present boxes, "Hopefully those two will like this…"
30 minutes passes and Kiana and Mei are nowhere in sight, prompting him to sigh, "…What is taking them so long?" He slowly gets up and walks to the room that both of them entered.
He stops and knocks on the door, "Oi, is everything alright in there?" He asks but only silence answers him.
"I am coming in." He sighs then opens the door but freezes at the doorway. He sees Kiana wearing nothing but a red ribbon that wraps around her body and protects her modesty while Mei also wears nothing but a purple ribbon, sitting on top of a bed.
"Hachiman~ aren't you coming in to unwrap your presents~?" Kiana coos then licks her lips as she looks at him with her arms crossed under her breast.
"D-don't just stand there… Hac-Hachiman…" Mei mumbles as she tries to cover herself with her arms with her cheeks red yet in her eyes, desire and anticipation can be seen.
Hachiman doesn't say anything but slowly walks to them while his clothes magically disappear. By the time he reaches the bed, he is fully naked. He shakes his head then smiles at them.
"Both of you aren't sleeping tonight."
*FGHFGHFGH*
Hachiman slowly opens his eyes then rapidly blinks, "Urgh… That dream was… Something." He looks at the familiar ceiling of the infirmary and curtains meant for the privacy of the patient surrounding him.
"What dream?"
He flinches then turns his head to see Kiana looking at him with her tilted, "Um… Just a normal dream," He mumbles then looks away from her with his cheeks red.
She blinks then pokes his body, "But you acted like it wasn't normal? Tell me."
"No."
"Instant reply… That means it's something juicy! Tell me!"
"Nope."
"Hachi~ please~"
He blinks then turns his head to look at her, "Hachi?" He raises an eyebrow at her, prompting her to proudly smile at him.
"Your nickname! It's hard to say Hachiman every time, so I will call you Hachi!" She blinks then her smile turns awkward, "We-well, unless… You don't like it…"
Hachiman lightly rolls his eyes, "My name isn't hard to pronounce… But I don't mind that nickname."
Kiana widens her eyes then beams at him, "Hurray! Hachi, Hachi, Hachi!" She raises her arms to celebrate.
He awkwardly smiles at her before blinking, "Oh yeah, where are we?"
She freezes then slowly puts her hands down while she frowns, "We're back at the Academy… But, um, a lot has changed…"
"…I'm guessing it's not for the better?"
She slowly nods, "It's been three days now after you… Freed Sirin's dragon and, uh, most of the world knows about this war and all…"
He raises a hand at her, "What happened to Sirin and Benares?"
She scratches her head, "Well, I don't know. She teleported us right at the evacuation place then explained a bit more then left us there. We got picked up by Himeko and Fu Hua in their large ship then brought us here while you were sleeping."
"…Oh."
She grimaces then continues, "Anyway, lots of blood was spilled… Yeah, I think I should go grab somebody to explain it to you. Oh yeah, I forgot to grab Mei here!" She quickly gets up from her seat then winks at him.
"Just sit tight here and don't go anywhere!"
Hachiman blinks as he sees her throw the curtain aside then runs out, "…Not like I feel like walking with this headache..." He mutters before the curtain parts to reveal the same nurse as before, entering while carrying a clipboard.
"I would say it's nice meeting you again, but this is an infirmary." She rolls her eyes then meets his gaze, "Do you feel any discomfort? Or weird feeling?"
He blinks, then lightly places his hand on his head, "Just a slight headache right now…"
She nods then writes on her clipboard, "I'll get you something for that headache since you can't exactly go out there with your brain hurting."
"Wait, what do you mean by going out there?" He raises an eyebrow at her while trying to scoot away from her.
She then frowns at him, "Unfortunately, we are lacking in manpower now due to the war on multiple fronts. So, the Principal decided that all potential recruits will undergo a stricter but shorter exam."
"…So why did you say it like I already passed?"
The nurse smirks at him, "Because, Creed and Candy vouched for you. Saying that you are good enough as a One-Star Commander but a Coordinator will be dispatched with the same rank as you."
He blinks then narrows his eyes at her, "…Did the Principal tell you this?"
She blinks then her smirk widens, "What a smart kid. Usually people would say stuff like how do you know all of this first. Anyway, Principal couldn't tell you in person due to the situation so she sent me the file. I'll send you the file when you get your standard issued wrist-gizmo but that Kiana girl, Mei, and Bronya will be under your command."
A beeping sound rings out, prompting her to take out her phone, "Oh fuck me, well, I am needed somewhere else, so I'll just transfer the file to the R&D people, the place where you'll get the gizmo." She quickly leaves.
Hachiman blankly gazes at where she had been then sighs, "…Well that was confusing… But I guess I am now a Commander…?"
*FGHFGHFGH*
A/N
Albeit rough since I kinda info dump here but I like it. So, we are going to see 8man commanding now! I have no idea how this will turn out since I forgot lots of details.
