Chapter 187 ( Jealousy )

"Winner, Cloud Strife!" - Okina exclaimed - "That leaves the team of Cloud and Kyōka as the winners of this festival!"

"I think it's time for us to move on to the final phase of the festival, Okina-chan"-Ryoko said as she looked at the teacher.

"Right, it's time for the two winners to fight to see who will be responsible for creating the new rule for the Academy!" Okina exclaimed as Cloud's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right... you didn't know about the prize"-Kyoka smiled as she looked at her opponent for fighting but quickly calmed down-"Anyway, I'm retiring, I don't see the point in fighting right now"

"Hey?" Okina exclaimed, although she was not the last.

"Hey?" - those present exclaimed in surprise - "EEEEEH?!"

"Ara~? Did my daughter say that she didn't want to fight?" Ryōko asked as she looked at the other judges, "Or was it just a glitch in my audition?"

"No...she said that, although I don't find that surprising about her"-said the woman of the judges.

"It's because you don't know Kyōka like we do" -the red haired man replied- "She never says no to a battle, at least since she started her journey to the world of martial arts"

"Exactly"-nodded the blonde director as a small smile appeared on her face-"Doesn't she want to fight with her boyfriend~?"

"What he's not my boyfriend!" - exclaimed Kyōka with embarrassment - "It's just that there's no point in fighting right now, not when I feel more fun when it's more entertaining when we have our little sparring partners"

The girls started whispering to each other as Cloud and Kyōka's group were looking at the blue-haired girl in surprise.

"Ok that confirms it...Kyoka is in love" - ​​Honori said with amusement.

". . ." - Kako shook her head as she cast a glance in the direction of Cloud's group, only to notice how Shizuka was as if nothing, Chifuyu was simply shaking her head, for her part, Ayane only frowned, Makoto had a look uncertain and Asuna was upset.

"Uh... I think something feels a bit awkward..." Misa said as she felt the aura of the girls around her.

"Don't worry, this is normal... I think..." Chifuyu said as she shook her head.

* * * * *

". . ." -Rino frowned when she heard Kyōka's words because she never thought she would say something like that.

"Rino-sama…" Megu muttered as she looked at her leader.

"Don't say anything else... we're leaving..." - Rino said while the others nodded - "We don't have anything else to do in this place"

"What will be our next move, Rhino-sama?" Shū asked seriously.

"Think clearly since we are at a disadvantage"-replied the blonde girl as she walked towards the exit of the place.

"I say we should finish him off before he continues to gain popularity..." Ryōko said dismissively.

"Of course, he tries to do something stupid and see how you end up"-Iyo replied with disdain-"Let's better follow Rino-sama's instructions"

"Hmph!" -Ryōko just let out a snort as she followed her leader.

"Let's just hope she doesn't do anything stupid"-said Shū as she shook her head.

* * * * *

"I guess that's how the event ends... a bit bland really"-Okina sighed while she shook her head-"Anyway, go to the directors room when you have the new rule"

"Ok"-nodded the blonde as he shrugged.

"Come on, you still owe me a good fight" - smiled Kyōka.

"Why not do it right here?" Cloud asked in surprise.

"Because I feel like it's better if it's just the two of us... it's more fun that way" - replied the blue-haired girl.

". . ." -Cloud shrugged again, although he still nodded-"Ok, I just hope you have fun"

"It's strange...it's usually the other way around"-Kyoka said as he let out a laugh-"If that's what you want..."

The [Metsuryū] girls only looked annoyed at Kyōka, who only smiled at the stares.

"Something happens?" Cloud asked in surprise noticing how his teammate looked back.

"No... it's nothing... come on, we have to fight"-Kyoka said as she took the boy's hand and pulled him out of the Arena.

"That girl…" Asuna said as her eyebrow twitched slightly, before looking at Shizuka, "Why aren't you upset?"

"Because I'm aware that I won't be the only one"-Shizuka replied as she gave him an innocent look.

"Hey?" -Asuna just widened her eyes in surprise when she heard this because she never thought that a girl would decide to share her boyfriend.

"Right... you don't know..." - Chifuyu said as she looked at the girl who would probably be recruited - "Cloud comes from a clan that is on the verge of extinction, that's why they decided that he could have more of a couple to be able to revive it as soon as possible"

"That"-Shizuka smiled as she looked at the girls.

". . ." - Ayane and Asuna were silent as they looked at each other in silence.

"If that's so...then it's possible that I can make a change of plans..." Asuna thought as a small smile appeared on her face-"I belong to Cloud-sama, if so, I don't I see bad to take a step forward"

"An interesting piece of information, although not uncommon" - Makoto said calmly - "Even in some clans that practice is used so that members with great potential can leave more offspring... I guess they also have to have a certain level or talent so that their children have greater potential"

". . . exact. . ." Chifuyu agreed as she felt that lie was starting to become the truth seeing in the world that they were in right now- "Anyway, it's better that we withdraw, the competition is over and we have nothing to do in this place"

"True" - agreed the others.

"Etto... where are Rumina and Rurina?" Shizuka asked as she looked around.

"They are probably with Rintarō-san" – Asuna replied.

"Why did I just hear that?!" Keiko exclaimed as she ran off to where her soon-to-be boyfriend was.

"Let's just ignore that" - Makoto denied before looking at the remaining girls - "How about we go to the city to relax a bit?"

"Hmm...sounds like a plan" Chiyoko nodded as she stretched "I need something to get Cloud Strife's technique out of my mind"

"I'm sorry if it left you with some trauma"-Shizuka apologized as she took the girl's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm not traumatized or anything like that, it's just that I'm mentally tired" - answered the third year girl.

"I would be terrified if I had fought him..." Misa said as she trembled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he wouldn't hurt you"- Honori replied as she patted her petite classmate on the shoulder-"By the way Chifuyu-san... how about you join the team of Cheerleaders?"

"Sorry, I don't think I have talent in that area, not to mention that joining a club would reduce my training time and studies" Chifuyu replied as she politely declined.

"Oh…too bad…I guess the offer still stands" Honori replied as she shrugged.

* * * * *

"What did you think of Rintarō-san?" Cloud asked as he looked at his blue-haired companion who was still holding his hand. "By the way... when are you going to let go of me?"

"Hey?" -Kyōka could only react when she heard the boy's words, so she quickly let go of his hand with a red face- "D-Did you say something?"

"Yeah... what did you think of Rintarō-san's level?" Cloud asked again.

"Hmm... he was strong" - Kyōka replied as she began to think in order to remove the erratic thoughts she was having - "His mobility, power, Ki and adaptability were impeccable, to the point that even for me it would be a problem.. .he is a Dragon... or at least it could be said that he has the talent and power to become one"

"I think the same" - answered the blonde while he shook his head - "Although he lacks that thing that we have"

"I want to fight and conquer the other dragons" - Kyōka smiled as she began to laugh out loud - "Every dragon wants supremacy, wants to be above the rest, that everyone looks at him from below with envy while we are on the throne admiring our domains"

"It could be that only the King of the Dragons will be able to rise above the others"-the blond boy smiled as he looked up at the sky-"Although it's boring to be alone at the top..."

"You just need to have someone strong enough to keep you company" - replied the blue-haired girl as she remembered the expression she had seen on Ren before Meru appeared to challenge her - "If you are Meru's replacement, then you know the backstory"

"Of course... that's why I'm fighting you, Kyōka" - Cloud said as he looked at the blue haired girl - "Of the 3 dragons of Nangokuren, you are the one that can give me the most fun, being followed by Ayane and finally Rhino"

"Really? Me thinking that later it would be Ransuiryū and then Senseiryū" - Kyōka said with surprise - "Why?"

"Ayane can learn as fast or more than the two of us during a fight" - Cloud replied as his eyes sharpened - "That's why despite her 'sensei', I don't pay much attention to her... I want her to learn her own path and that one day she will give me a good fight..."

"You know? When you talked about Senseiryū like that it made me jealous" - Kyōka said as she gave him an embarrassed smile.
