1.80: Generational pleasure
Alphas opened a screen and checked on the system. "I see…"
And everyone looked at Tedashii's results.
"No…" Franco could not believe it.
"Out of all the results…It seems we had one zero."
Tedashii stood in the middle of everyone with the only red in the school.
"Not only did you leave your test, but he also had a reason for it. Alphas, if you may?" Mister Tie ordered.
"Right away." He swiped to another screen. "Tedashii's reason, as he stated…was to give the opportunity to all of you to cheat!"
GASP!
"So he knew all along?" Haruro asked.
"Wow, we all got played this easily…guess they knew we did in the first place," Franco said.
"Not only that. Tedashii even fought the PRINCIPLE to help everyone in the school."
"He… fought with the principal?!" Leah asked.
"Exactly. Some of you already knew what would happen after Tedashii took the front seat. To force the only person who was keeping watch out the hall…you are something else. But it just gets better."
Alphas now made all their results disappear. "How stupid do you guys think we are?! A school as prestigious as Red Star High has THE HIGHEST SECURITY LEVEL. THANKS TO MY PRESENCE ALONE!!"
A bunch of micro cameras jumped off all the students.
"GYAA!! WHAT IS THAT?!"
"GET IT OFF ME!!"
"HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT?!"
"All of you were set with these cameras from the get-go…to put it short, Tedashii's efforts were inconclusive as I witnessed EVERYTHING done by EVERYONE! And if I consider the people who cheated, then…"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm would not stop sounding as all the students' actual marks were on display. Makoto was in white, the rest of the Elite force in oranges, and a flood of red resulted above 3/4 of the school.
"You guys only passed, thanks to Tedashii. HALF of you even used your prowesses to hustle…AND one of you even swapped papers with another student!"
Tedd looked away from Gale as he was shown red.
"You failed…Tedd?"
"I'm…sorry guys-"
"NO!"
All the students turned to Konami's voice, who had a gold thanks to Tedd. "IT IS NOT YOU WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT WE WANT!!"
She pushed the students until she faced Alphas. "YOU WANNA KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CRAP?! YOU SHOULD BE GLAD WE DIDN'T TAKE YOU GUYS DOWN RIGHT THERE! I know who I am, my capabilities, AND WHAT I WANT TO BECOME! So…if you want to remove me from this school, MAKE ME!!"
The teachers were surprised by her persistence.
"Miss Konami…do you know what you're talking about?" He asked.
BZZT!!
Thunder was heard from behind her as Tedd joined her side. "If you even think of taking her out… you're going through me first!"
"Well, it can't be helped…" Yuro also blew his prowess out, and one by one, all the ronins joined in as multiple colors glimmered on the field.
"TEDASHII DID THIS FOR ALL OF US. SO TAKE HIM OUT, AND YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE US OUT TOO!!"
"YEAH! WE'RE NOT GONNA WATCH YOU TAKE ANY OF US AWAY!"
"That's MY CAPTAIN! IF YOU LAY A FINGER ON HIM, I'LL END YOU!!" Genti came swimming through the crowd and shielded Tedashii.
"Genti is right, he's not alone!" Franco said as they all gathered in front of Tedashii. "He has a whole team behind him!"
YEAH!!
"Same goes for these two."
Bong!
Gale hit Tedd and Konami on the head as he and the Sapphire Dawns stood with them. "They may be wreck-less at times…but as the leader, I'll kill anyone who dares oppose us."
The school retaliated against Alphas as they joined to face the inevitable. But he just sighed and began to build spiritas. "Who…do you guys think you are?"
Beep!
BAM!!
With a button press, all the ronins fell to the ground.
"Grr…I… can't move!" Haruro said.
"What…the hell is…going on?!" Uraka asked.
Alphas just watched them, struggling even to look up. ("What? It can't be!") He was shocked to see Gale, Leah, and Tedashii standing still. ("Fushigiris…I see.")
"HAHAHAHAHA! Alphas, that is enough." Mister Tie ordered, and he stopped the machine.
"That…that was Scoria. But it didn't seem to be visible?" Leah said.
"It seems like we're the only ones not affected by it, but we should be careful…one percent increase could have hurt us too," Gale said.
Tedashii looked around and saw all the ronins being helped up by the humans. ("Scoria hurts ronins…")
"You pass."
He turned to Mister Tie. "Huh?"
"I'm saying you guys all passed."
All the students were still processing this good news. "But you have ten seconds to leave the premises, or else that machine goes on again!"
RUN FOR IT!!
All the students made their way out, but while leaving, they hoisted Konami and Tedashii up in the air.
TEDASHII!! KONAMI!! TEDASHII!! KONAMI!!
They both smiled and ran out with their guilds.

"Why did you let them leave, sir? If I may ask…"
Tie just fixed his clothes and looked at Tedashii. "It's because I've lost too much time at home waiting for the city to return…but now, I just want to enjoy the third-gen Fushigiri. From Cheyzar, Fugin…and now I teach a new one…Tedashii!"
