154 The Elite 10's Punishment!

*SAMCK!!*

Alexander felt a sharp pain on his face and stood up sharply with anger ready to curse whoever dared to do such thing "HOW D--" but he stopped midway as soon as he saw his mother looking at him with a smirk and a mocking expression that says 'Do it, I dare you.'

Alexander relaxed his muscles and smiled sweetly "Mother. How was your day?" he said.

A Popping vein appeared on Alexandra's forehead "Tsk! you're no fun at all." She said "Stay conscious during my class or I am smacking your other cheek." she said. Alexandra tapped the ruler on her shoulder and returned to her station. The other students breathed a sigh of relief, they all held their breaths when Alexander entered and behaved in such a way, they have already experienced this kind of treatment from Alexandra first hand in the past week.

As for Alexander felt like a thunder has struck him from the seventh heaven.

"W-what do you meaning, your class?" he asked.

"Oh! you didn't know? from today onward, I am your homeroom teacher for the rest of this year. Nice to meet you!" Alexandra made a V sign with a cute expression. Her son, on the other hand, felt like his worst dream has come true. Why, you ask? the answer is simple...His mother is a dictator!!

The class resumed and Alexandra started introducing the students to new cooking techniques that they have never heard before, Alexander pretended to pay attention just so he won't give his mother a reason to have her way with him.

From time to time, Alexandra would enjoy tormenting some students who thought they were special and smart, things like this is what keeps her alive. Gone are the days of the sweet and warm mother that Alexander used to know. After all, he was no baby that needs protection now.

After the class ended, Alexander ran out like his life depends on it making his mother feel confused as she thought 'Why is he in such a hurry?...maybe he needs to go toilet!'

Having escaped from his mother's grasp, Alexander could finally breathe in relief. Alexander was walking down the main road to the next class, at that moment, He saw Arato; Erina's friend running at him with full speed like Usain Bolt.

"Alexander-san!!" she called, Alexander looked at her worriedly "Calm down and take a breath, what is going on?" he said.

Arato took a deep breath "Orders from Erina-sama, she is calling for an urgent meeting with all of the elite 10!!" she said. With that, she went into her Usain Bolt mode again and ran to look for the next elite 10 to give him the orders. She could've used her phone to call them, but unfortunately, she never had any real interactions with them so she didn't take their phone numbers. And even the phone numbers in their students' files are no good as most students just use either made up numbers or change their numbers soon as the school only needs their parents' phone numbers.

Having nothing better to do at the moment, Alexander shrugged his shoulders and walked slowly to the elite 10 towers in the administration's section.

"We have been getting some disturbing news lately," Erina said after every elite 10 was seated in front of her.

Alexander, Takumi, Hayama, Kouga, Isshiki, Nene, Subaru, Soma, Eizan, and Alice. All looked at Erina with a questioning expression. Seeing their reaction, Erina continued "For the past two days, we have been getting some reports from numerous guilds in Japan saying that a lot of restaurants under them have been shut down without any warning or reason." she said.

"And?" Alice tilted her head with a smile.

"And you ten will be sent to diffrent regions in Japan to investigate this irregularity," Erina said with a determined voice. At that moment Alexander raised his hand.

"I am not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, but...Why should we care about some guild's restaurants being closed?" His question made sense for the new elite 10, but to the current third years such as Isshiki, Kouga, and Nene, they know what Erina is thinking about.

Erina sighed and looked at Alexander and all the new elite 10 "Because...those guilds are under our leadership and protection, they are part of Totsuki's properties, meaning all those restaurants that have closed suddenly are under our protection."

"OOooo!!" Soma, Takumi, and Alexander muttered in understanding "But that still not our problem, it is the guilds'" Alexander shrugged.

"No, it is our problem, the guilds won't contact us if it was that simple, and as the elite 10, you guys have the responsibility to defend Totsuki's properties," Erina confirmed.

"Sorry babe, but she is right," Alice said as she looked at Alexander who was frowning at the mention of him leaving to do others work while he still looking for that bastard.

"And we suspect that these sudden shutdowns are caused by someone, someone who is targeting Totsuki." Hisako stepped forward and presented some video and photo from some security camera that has captured a customer enter the referred to restaurants and immediately after him the restaurants closes the next day, the same hooded man keeps on appearing in the Osaka region.

Everyone frowned at this. This is really serious, it may be someone who still upholds Azami's teaching and it may be even Azami himself in there.

"What are you guys so worked up for!" Kouga said enthusiastically "This will be fun, it is like a road trip but less driving!" he said.

"Someone seems to be in a hurry to leave their work behind them and go out," Eizan smirked as he commented on Kouga.

"Eeh! but nobody talked to you Eizan-chi, you should just back off in the corner and ide in solitude!" Kouga said with a smile and energetic expression that doesn't match with the words he is uttering now.

"The fuck you say to me you litt--"

"Children," Nene said.

"Yes, Grandma! did you call?" Kouga quickly looked at her with a mocking smile.

"Just die already, no one will attend your funeral anyway," Nene responded.

Erina had a terrible headache from seeing this "Enough!" she shouted. Everyone stopped their arguments and looked at her. "You will leave now in a group of 2 to the location that I will give you now, no further side comments, no further questions, and absolutely, no further wasting of my time." Erina looked scary as a dark aura surrounded her which Alexander recognized very well 'My mother trained her for sure.' he thought

"They have to be punished... those invaders that are threatening my administration." Erina put her hand on the table and leaned forward with her eyes glowing under her bangs.

Alexander sighed "So..." he said, "What is the plan?" Everyone turned to look at Erina waiting for her orders. The orders of Totsuki's headmaster.

Erina smirked, "Alexander-sama and Kouga-senpai will go to Nagoya, Takumi-san and Yukihira-kun will go to Osaka, Hayama-san and Subaru-san will be heading to Yokohama, while Alice and Nene-senpai will go to Kyoto, as For Eizan-senpai and Isshiki-senpai, you will head to Kanazawa."

Everyone looked at their partner and nodded while Kouga gave Alexander a V sign with "Please take care of me." gesture.

"Go there and investigate the problem behind everything and confront whoever is responsible...Deliver them the punishment of the elite 10." Erina said.
