The Seven School Rumors (Part 2)

After Akane castrated the guy he called out to her friends.

"Guys, you can come out, it's over, I castrated the jerk, you can call the police."

""""AKANE!!!""""

The four girls leaped at her the moment she turned around. Akane could just barely support them, barely preventing the five girls from falling to the ground.

"Akane, aren't you incredibly strong? You just caught 200 kilograms without falling down."

"Get down from me, you four still weigh something."

After calming down, the four girls climbed down.

"Well, after Akane caught that guy, I am kind of tired, let's continue our research tomorrow!"

""""Agreed, Yui!""""

"Well, who is going to call the police?"

"Aki! Aki is going to call the police."

"Well, be prepared to be interrogated, maybe interviewed and surely expect worried parents, they are totally going to be worried to the death for you, after all you confronted a rapist, and know that the press won't give two shits who contributed the most, they are going to approach you like moths to a lamp, if you don't want attention say to the police that you still need to process what just happened and that you don't want to talk about it, the police is probably trying to protect you then."

The four girls nodded, they wondered were Akane had all that information from, but then they remembered that she was a world stage star, so they stopped making things complicated.

"Sorry guys, I have to go to the toilet, I am right before pissing my panties, I might have won, but I still was really scared."

The girls just chuckled, even if Akane seemed so perfect, she was still just human after all.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"DAMMIT! Dammit! That idiot got caught! I must flee, before I get caught too!"

"Why so fast, Ms. Kyoshi?"

I turned around, seeing that girl Seigi Akane, but something was different, she had her eyes open, one was red, one was yellow. As I saw her, I wanted to make some excuses, but she interrupted me.

"Don't try to make excuses, your name is in some of that bastards plans, you can try to look it the way you want, but the fact that there was a concerning amount of no blackmail material in that locker for you shows that you are an accomplice, I can't let you get away with this."

Good, that girl doesn't know about my connections, so...

"Good, that girl doesn't know about my connections, so I can probably fool her and get away with this, is what you think, right?"

I chuckled.

"Well, even if you know, what do you want to do? Arrest me? Even if you do, I probably can get out and a brat like you probably doesn't dare to kill me, and even if you dare, you would have problems discarding..."

Akane already slashed at the woman, splitting her in half...

"Seal fourteen decision start."

"Flowey. Denied."

"Napstablock. Denied."

"Toriel. Partial release."

"Sans. Denied."

"Papyrus. Denied."

"Undyne. Allowed."

"Alphys. Denied."

"Muffet. Denied."

"Mettaton. Denied."

"Asgore. Denied."

"Asriel. Denied."

"Frisk. Denied."

"Chara. Denied."

"Gaster. Denied."

"One seal out of fourteen released. First gate open up! Activating, change! Monster Death!"

...but instead of blood flying everywhere the cutting section turned into dust.

"You know, all evidence of your existence is lost if I scatter your dust, bye Ms. Kyoshi, let's see each other never again."

The girl said with a sinister smile, after the dust disappeared, she started to frown.

"She would have brought massive problems if she survived."

You gained 5 EXP.<ERROR>

Undyne gained 5 EXP.

------------------------------------------------------------------

After a session of police interrogation and avoided interviews the girls were finally brought to their respective homes.

"Akane! Are you hurt? Did he manage to do something to you? Is 'it' still intact? Do you want to shower or to sleep? Can I do anything for you?"

Where Akane was greeted by a very concerned Fumio.

"Calm down mommy, something like a mind manipulation quirk won't get through me, my mind is like a world, completely and every aspect of it is controlled by me. As long as someone can't take control of the entire world with just their mind, I am going to be safe from something like that, I just played along so I get him off guard. And sorry mommy for worrying you again, I should have thought about you."

Fumio sighed, flicking her daughters head.

"How often do I have to say it again, don't apologize for a good job, ever."

Akane nodded.

"How do you have a world inside your head?"

"I am a prodigy remember? If I didn't try to understand myself to this degree, do you think I could portray emotion through my pieces that well?"

Fumio just smiled at her daughter, she would surprise her again and again.

"You are right, my cinnamon roll."

The both of them shared a hug and Fumio patted Akanes' head, the girl really loved her intimate contact. She would always ask for one if she needed it.

"Thank you, mommy. Where are aunty Etsuko and Akasuki again? I didn't see them for one or two weeks or so."

"Don't worry, your little aunty is on a mission and your big aunty created her own company, Akasuki is currently sleeping at her own company, trying to work on the paperwork and Etsuko is probably resting near the place she has to work on, so you don't have to worry about them."

Akane nodded, understanding, the house would be just the two of them again, like the beginning.

"I am going to sleep, please pull some strings and let the reporters not approach me and my friends, I want to let them have a normal life like they always had."

Her mother nodded. This is the least she can do for her daughter.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the clubroom each of her friends lie face down on the table, each of them was exhausted, only Akane wasn't.

"Why is Aka the only one not tired, Aki, doesn't find it fair."

"Hmmhm. I don't find it fair too."

"Aka, what is your secret!"

"Guys, I don't think we should bother Akane, so much!"

"You guys should know how good I am at avoiding people, the only reason why you four could even invite me to your club, was because I allowed you to approach me, well to be specific, I allowed Aki to approach me."

""""Really?""""

"Really."

The room was silent, before Yuiko stood up, announcing some plans.

"Well, let's look after the remaining mysteries and some plans for tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? Yui, you do realize tomorrow is weekend, right?"

"We still can make plans, KanKan, I am for a sleepover at Akanes place!"

"Fine, we can do that tomorrow, three or four pm if you want, don't come too late and let's enjoy our day, let's go bust the remaining mysterious, until now only two out of four mysteries were quirk related, it might change today."

And so, the girl went to their mystery hunt.

One of the rumors involved a cherry tree that was said, that if you confessed your feelings to your loved ones under there, that the relationship will be a success.

Akane punched the tree.

"Akane! You can't punch the sacred tree."

"Just taking samples to see if the tree is abnormal, but else the explanation would be something psychological, everyone on this school know this rumor, right? Confessing here would act like a placebo and the couple formed under here would just stay together out of duty for most of the time, thinking that they are happy. At that point they could only break up, if the two of them were really stupid in their partner choices."

"Akane, can't you just..."

"Nope, I am no romanticist, if you want to fall in love do it gradually over time, and not force it through an unconditional contract, because confessing here basically means that. I hope you four didn't actually plan to confess here."

Each of them looked away and started to whistle.

"Who cares, onto the next mystery!"

""""Yeah!""""

The missing record year of Gakkou Academy.

"So, why do you think Gakkou hasn't a yearbook for this year?"

"Could it be that it was borrowed by somebody just for a long time?

"There is an easy way to check that, Aki. We just go the counter and ask when the copy of that yearbook was borrows."

The girls then went to the counter and asked the upperclassmen manning it when the yearbook of Gakkou of that year was lend. It wasn't in the registry for borrowed books, so he asked if it really was borrowed. After that they showed him the shelf with the yearbooks, but he didn't find it anywhere.

"Weird, it never occurred to me in that that particular year was missing in all these years I've been supervising the years, maybe you could ask the teachers that went to school to teach in that year, maybe they know more about it?"

Yuiko nodded at the boys' answer, there really wasn't anything else she could do about it this mystery after all.

"Okay, we are going to do just that, thank you for your cooperation, Kobayashi-senpai."

"No problem, I've got to help my Kohais, it's my job after all."

After that conversation the girls went around and asked each teacher that was still in the school building, why there was no school yearbook on that year.

Sadly, nobody could give a concrete answer to that.

"AH! This is so frustrating, why does nobody know anything important about that year in Gakkou!"

"Yui, calm down. Sensei, are there any older copies of the library book lending register, maybe in it was some copy of that yearbook lend."

"I can do that Kanade, but that could lead to a privacy violation and I can't allow that, can I?"

"But Sensei, nobody would care anymore what or what kind they lend from the middle library! Can't we have a quick look at it, after all it's just for research!"

"Research, what kind of research, Kanade?"

"Well, we are currently researching about the current seven school mysteries and how they have come to be, we are currently conducting said research and this is the last before the seventh, so it would really help us if you let us look into that folder, sensei! We are planning to send that article to the newspaper club"

The teacher rested their chin on her hand, thinking about it for a moment, after a short while he looked up again.

"Well, that research sounds really interesting and the fact that you are planning to submit this is honestly really impressive, the school newspaper currently needs some more articles and you would be really helping out with it. I'll allow you to look into it, but only under my supervision, understood girls?"

"""""Hai! Sensei!"""""

After convincing the teacher they were finally allowed to look into the old book lending lists, but nowhere was that yearbook to be found.

"Hmm, weird we searched and searched, but we found nothing about that yearbook, isn't that weird?"

"That's indeed weird, Yui. Look, I don't know anything about this too, how about you ask the headmaster of this school, he'll probably know about that year, if he doesn't know, nobody will."

"Thank you for your cooperation, sensei!"

"We'll promise you that the article is going to be awesome, sensei!"

"I'll make sure of that, sensei. I'll swear upon my name as Seigi that I am going to make these four works properly!"

""Bye, Sensei!""

"Bye girls, we'll see each other in tomorrows' lesson!"

And so, they walked to the headmaster's office to get the information on that year. It turns out that the school was temporarily closed, because of cheap construction measures, turns out the insides of the walls and ceilings were molding and in that year the mold got out of the wall. Afterwards the school had to be demolished and newly built, and the construction firm got sued by the school afterwards.

"Who would have thought that the school was molding and this is a completely new building, huh!"

"Aki finds mold disgusting!"

Touko nodded at her words.

"Well, the sixth mystery is solved, onto the seventh!"

Silence for a moment, Yui had a concerned exptession on her face.

"Akane, we don't have one."

"What do you mean you don't have a seventh mystery, Yui?"

"The seventh mystery is the fact that Gakkou just can't manage to find a seventh mystery, in all its existing years we only had six!"

------------------------------------------------------------------

In three days:

"Aka, you slave driver, do you have to work us so hard?"

Yuiko was currently complaining to Akane about her work ethic.

"Work! We want to deliver an article, right? Only perfect is going to pass through me!"

"But look around you! All the others collapsed!"

Akane started to look around, seeing everyone laying with their heads on the table, steam coming out of their heads.

"Fine, I do the entire article, but at least write you own interview sentences, I want to land on the title page with this."

A tired 'hai' came from the girls, they worked intensely on that article for the duration of the remaining club day on that day.

The article only landed on the second page.
