It has been a few days since Tatsuya personally saw the Dimensional Gap, these few days have been uneventful as all he did was do his job as a member of the Moral Committee, Talk to others, and keep his sister safe and happy.

However, these few days have also been fun for him as he got a lot of things from the Dimensional Gap. Merlin told him once that the staff that he used and the artifacts that he had come from the Dimensional Gap.

so when Tatsuya and Miyuki go home Tatsuya immediately goes to his Laboratory and opens a portal towards the Dimensional Gap. In addition, he could perfectly open a stable portal toward the Dimensional Gap without issues whatsoever.

As for the stuff he got in the Dimensional Gap, the most noteworthy is the key.

The key is a golden key-shaped sword connected to the vault. Yes, a freaking vault on the size of a city, as for where the vault is located, he did not know. the vault is empty besides the other key similar to the key he finds in the Dimensional Gap but the key inside the vault can unlock the deepest parts of the vault which is also empty.

Therefore, he decided to put the stuff he found in the Dimensional Gap inside the vault to use its purpose.

The key is currently resting on his soul, as he can summon it anytime.

Tatsuya also decided to put the Excalibur inside the vault along with the other artifact he got inside his soul, Tatsuya also didn't have to be afraid as if he wanted to call Excalibur a gate of gold-glowing energy ripples appear out of nowhere and the sword handle presented itself.

The items passing through the gate form gold-glowing energy ripples in empty air as they appear instantly. He can summon items directly into his hand, pull out weapons from directly behind him, or prepare numerous weapons midair, loaded like bullets, which really did a number in his laboratory so he used the data from when he scanned the whole house using his <Elemental Sight> and used regrowth on his laboratory and it fixed itself like nothing happen.

...

The fourth day of the new member invitation week.

Tatsuya was currently roaming around to see if there was something that required his status as a member of the Moral Committee.

'There's nothing to do...' Tatsuya thought.

*Beep-Beep*

'Looks like I spoke too soon'

Suddenly, Watanabe's communication device was given to each of the members of the Moral Committee decided to ring, so he did as many sensible people out there.

Tatsuya took the communication device from his pocket and answered it.

"This is the student council. A brawl broke out in Gymnasium No.1. All available Moral Committee members are asked to head to the scene" Saegusa announced to the communication device.

'looks like time to work, let's talk to Mayumi later if she's not busy' Tatsuya thought as these past few days Tatsuya has been busy making friends, and one of them is Mayumi.

"This is Shiba, first year. Understood" Tatsuya began to run in the direction where Saegusa told him and the other members of the Moral Committee.

While he was running to the location, he suddenly senses someone that have ill intent towards him so he looked back and saw the person who have ill intent towards him was about to use magic, Tatsuya immediately used <Elemental Sight> to read the activation sequence and used <Specific Cast Jamming> to nullify the magic that the person that has ill intent towards him.

Knowing that he had no chance of beating him in terms of magic, he decided to run away, while running away Tatsuya saw the perpetrator wearing a tri-colored (Red, White, Blue) wristband (white bracelet with blue and red stripes) before using the <Acceleration> spell, leaving Tatsuya behind.

"That wristband..." Tatsuya muttered.

While Tatsuya can catch up to him, he already has a clue about who the perpetrator is.

...

"Tatsuya, you got another committee meeting today? Isn't recruitment week over?" Leohard said, while smirking at Tatsuya.

"Yeah. I'm off-duty today. Looks like I am finally getting some free time" Tatsuya said as he massages his shoulder as it's getting stiff lately.

"You sure were front and center in all that activity. You are now famous, Tatsuya. They're calling you the mysterious first year who took out all those magic-oriented club regulars without using magic yourself" Leohard teases Tatsuya, who earned him a deadpan.

"What do you mean, mysterious? I am being nice and sociable for your information" Tatsuya said as he sighed.

While Tatsuya was talking with Leohard, he noticed that someone was watching him and the classroom became noisy, so he looked at the door where Miyuki was hiding like a stalker.

"Miyuki..." Tatsuya said that Miyuki smiled at him.

...

After Tatsuya came with Miyuki and finished her business on the Student Council, Miyuki and Tatsuya currently walked in the hallway side by side, while Miyuki currently has a tint of red on her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry, Onii-sama. Making you wait just for me" Miyuki said

"It was student council business, right? Don't worry about it" Tatsuya consoles his sister as he pats her head, causing her to blush and smile happily.

Subsequently, someone called Tatsuya from behind.

"Shiba?"

Tatsuya looked at the person who called him and he was kinda surprised that Mibu is looking for him, while he does know what she want.

"You're Ms. Mibu, correct?" Tatsuya asked.

"I'm Mibu Sayaka. In class E, the same as you" Mibu said as she walked towards us, causing Miyuki to stick even further to Tatsuya.

"Thanks for the other day. I would like to thank you properly" She said.

'Please don't say it in front of her! I'm getting pinched again!' Tatsuya screamed in his mind.

"Would you please go out with me for a bit now?" Mibu said with a smile, and Tatsuya was entranced by it for a millisecond.

Tatsuya looked at his sister who was currently pinching his waist while having a scary smile on her face and looked back at Mibu.

"Well, I can't do that right now" Tatsuya said and she was shocked that her invitation got rejected, she does know she's a beautiful young lady so it hurts her pride to get rejected immediately without hesitation.

'Finally, she let go of my waist' Tatsuya sighed in relief inwardly.

"But in fifteen minutes, yes" he added, causing Miyuki to pinch again.

'It hurts! I am trying to be polite Miyuki! Please understand! It's not like I want a harem anyways! ... well maybe just a bit...' Tatsuya screamed in his mind, causing her to pinch even harder and to look at the girl who was currently pinching his waist.

'IS THIS THE LEGENDARY WOMAN'S INTUITION?! It's really scary when you experience it' Tatsuya looked at Miyuki with amazement.

Mibu forced herself to calm down while her cheeks had a tint of red.

"Um, then I'll be waiting for you at the cafe!" Mibu said that she turned around and left, while Miyuki still had her eyes on her back until she disappeared from the corner.

...

Tatsuya dropped Miyuki at the Student Council Office after their break.

"All right, I'll be off, it won't be long, I'm sure she's going to invite me to their club after I show off in the Gymnasium where I saved her, I'll just be polite and refuse her invitation" Tatsuya said to Miyuki, but Miyuki doesn't have a good feeling about the situation, while she was jealous yes, it wasn't jealousy, but it was something else.

"Do you really think that's all? I feel that it might be something else. Not for any particular reason. I feel uneasy. Although I'm overjoyed that you've gained such renown, If they get even an inkling of your true powers, people will swarm at you in great numbers, with only their own selfish interest in mind"

"Please be careful" Miyuki said what's on her mind causing Tatsuya to look at Miyuki fondly causing him to smile.

"Don't worry. Whatever happens, I will be fine" Tatsuya began to pat her head the way she liked it, causing her to blush, but she seems unsatisfied with his answer.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about!"

Tatsuya looked at his sister and sighed, Tatsuya looked Miyuki in the eye and smiled.

"I'll be fine. I won't get reckless, no matter what, and who do you think I am?" Tatsuya said with a grin.

"Please promise me, Onii-sama" Miyuki said, and Tatsuya lifted her chin and kissed her forehead.

"Fine, I promised, so don't cry anymore okay?" Tatsuya said with a smile, as he patted her head with more force, causing her to blush.

...

Tatsuya arrived at the café on the school ground and ordered a cup of black coffee, and he looked around and saw Mibu, who currently sat alone beside the window.

Tatsuya went to the table where Mibu was currently sitting, as he announced his arrival.

"Sorry to keep you waiting" Tatsuya said.

Tatsuya pulled out the chair under the table and sat down.

"Oh, Shiba!" Mibu said happily as he didn't ditch her.

"Uh, once again, thank you very much for what you did last week" Mibu said as she slightly leaned forward to express her gratitude.

"I was just doing my job" Tatsuya said with a smile, causing Mibu to shake her head as she cannot agree with what Tatsuya has said.

"It only got resolved peacefully because you defused the brawl without injuring anyone, Shiba" Mibu said with a smile.

"you should smile more Ms. Mibu, you look really pretty when you smile" Tatsuya said with a smile.

"Eh? Wait?! Are you hitting on me?" Mibu asked with a blush as her eyes could not look at him, so they kept darting somewhere else.

While she was curious about why Tatsuya was silent, she looked at him with an amused smile. She knew that he was just messing with her, so she decided to continue.

"A-Ahem. Although I hurt Kirihara, after all, Kirihara and I crossed swords fully prepared to sustain an injury, and yet there are many people who want to make a big deal out of such a trivial matter. Moral Committee members... So they can score points for themselves"

"Er... well, I'm also a member of that committee, so I'm sorry" Tatsuya said as he smile wryly.

"S-Sorry! I did not mean it that way, I swear! Sure, I can't stand those people, but I can..." Mibu immediately asked for forgiveness, waved her hand, and hoped that Tatsuya was not offended by what she said, but when she saw Tatsuya with a smirk she realized.

"Huh? Wait... Hey, Shiba, are you a bully?" Mibu said that she pouted while blushing, which was really cute.

They talked a bit and asked questions about each other as they gradually became closer. Tatsuya noticed that he had been in the café for some time and decided to go on to the main topic of why she called him.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Tatsuya said, with a serious look at his face.

Mibu also became serious.

"I'll be blunt. Shiba, will you join the Kendo club?" she asked.

"I appreciate the offer, but I decline" Tatsuya said.

"Would you mind telling me your reason?"

"Actually, I'd like to hear the reason you're recruiting me"

Mibu sighed.

"At Magic High School, magic grades are given precedence over all. But don't you think it's wrong to be defined in all respect by just magic?" Mibu asked and waited for Tatsuya's reaction and response.

"Please continue" Tatsuya said.

"Course 2 students can't receive practical skills training. However, being discriminated against in class is something we must live with. Because that's only a matter of us lacking in talent"

"I can't stomach the thought of my sword being held in contempt just because I'm not good at magic. being ignored was unbearable. I won't let them deny all I have to offer just on the basis of magic!" Mibu said as she started to get emotional which is surprising, Mibu seems the kind of woman who's a very level-headed woman.

"Ms. Mibu?" Tatsuya asked her as he was concerned about her.

"Ah! Ahem. This is why we, the non-magic-oriented club, decided to unite. Sometimes this year, we are going to form an organization separate from the Extracurricular Activities Federation and present our arguments to the school. That we are not all about magic. towards that end, we would like your cooperation. Shiba" Mibu ended her speech.

Tatsuya realized what was going on, which is not that hard when you think about it, causing him to chuckle lightly for Mibu will not hear him.

"I see..." Tatsuya said while still hiding his amusement.

"Are you mocking me?" Mibu asked Tatsuya, but for him, she was very cute when she asked that.

"That wasn't my intention at all" Tatsuya said while smiling.

"My own misunderstanding just gave me a chuckle, That's all"

'While it's true, it also isn't true, I'm not going to say that I chuckled because I find her cute as she turned from a super serious girl to an air-headed one'

"I thought that you were only just a beautiful girl who knows how to kendo, but it looks like I didn't see that part of you" Tatsuya said while smiling.

"Beautiful girl..." she muttered while blushing.

"Ms. Mibu..." Tatsuya called her.

"Wh-What is it?" Mibu asked as she started fidgeting around her chair while blushing. Tatsuya looked so serious so she thought he was going to ask her out.

" You are going to present your arguments to the school. What are you going to do after that?" Tatsuya asked her and immediately what she currently thought about disappeared and began to think about what she was no what they were going to do after they presented their argument, what if the school declined their demands, and she felt conflicted.
