Chapter 3 - The Encounter

This is weird. The Student Council president wants to meet me. That's what I meant of weird. Like, what could he possibly want from me?

Its already sunset, around 5pm now. Eizan-senpai, Akira-senpai and...

I closed my eyes not to try and sensualized that hunky topless German Shepherd behind me. But, I think I'm at my limit already.

"How long is he gonna stay that way?" I blurted out asking my two seniors

I heard Eizan-senpai sighed.

"Ryoma-san, when will you decide to put your clothes back on?"

"Let him be Eizan-kun. I don't mind though" Akira-senpai replied with a smile on his face.

He's been too cheerful this entire day that its beginning to creep me out.

Back to what was I saying, these three led me to down the halls of the Council's office building. I was even surprised that they have their own building. Back in my High School, the Student Council's office is located on the school building as well. But their office is at the center of the College Department buildings

I was cut from my thoughts and snapped back to reality when I bumped into Eizan-senpai. They already stopped infront of a two-way wooden door.

'Huh, I guess we're here now.' I thought.

Akira-senpai then knocks on the door twice before opening it. He and Eizan-senpai entered the room and I followed suit before Ryoma-senpai.

The room was nothing too special. I expected too much already now. Its just a simple room with the conference table at the center. A few bookshelves at the corner of the room and some computers, water dispenser and a refrigerator.

"Nomura Keizo?" an unfamiliar stern voice called out to me

My attention shifted to voice just infront of me, on the other side of the table. A husky was standing there wearing our uniform properly than the others.

I lifted an eye brow up in a questioning manner. I'm sure he's a member of the Council but why do they already know my name?

"And you are?" I asked with a hint of uninterested tone

The husky adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat "My name is Muramoto Masutaro. The Council President." he introduced himself

Then another voice called out "And I'm Natsukawa Tsuruki, the Vice-President."

That's when I noticed a red wolf-dog seated beside Masutaro-senpai. But, I'm not here for a chat.

"Cut the crap. Why did you call me here?" I asked impatiently

"Very well then." my husky senior began "We watched how you fight-"

But before he can continue I already cut him out "And you want me to join the Council?" I said

"I know I'm already on par with you guys."

That's the only reason why they want me here. Its very obvious. They recognize my strength

"No..." Masutaro-senpai answered

Wait, what!?

"Don't be so full of yourself, idiot." I heard Eizan-senpai

"You may have strength... But you don't even begin to compare from us." Masutoro-senpai added with a hint of irritation in his voice.

"Oh, come on! You saw what I can do." I replied

"Arrogant..." was all Masutaro-senpai said "You need to be disciplined."

As if on cue, Tsuruki-senpai snapped his fingers. The surrounding suddenly changes in an instant. The once office room now turns into an arena?

'Instant Teleportation?' I thought.

Before I could contemplate what's about to happen, my wind was knocked out of me as I looked down to see Eizan-senpai's sheathed katana pressed deeply on my stomach. He just hit me?

Not a second passed when I was knock away from them and landing on my back. The impact was delayed? I coughed hard trying to stabilize my breathing.

"Let us show you where exactly your place is from us." Masutaro-senpai threatened me

I stand back up slowly while clutching my stomach. It was still sore from the pain.

Masutaro-senpai then summons a bow from thin air. He aims at me while pulling the string back. Three arrows with light property of magic started to materialized before he lets go of the string, sending the light arrows flying straight at me. I quickly extended my left arm upfront, casting a magic barrier and tried to stop the arrows. That's where I am wrong. I was being pushed back with my feet being dragged back. The barrier started to crack and shattered. I was knocked back to the ground. I caught someone in my sight up in the air. It's that motherfucking husky! He was even doing multiple somersaults before stopping on an upright position. He proceeds to rapidly fires a barrage of arrows down at me, raining it down.

'Shit!' I thought 'Wind property now? It'll pierce through any of my defensive barrier spells.'

I quickly flip back to avoid his attacks. When I thought I was already safe, Eizan-senpai suddenly appeared just infront of me.

Fuck! I won't be able to avoid his attack while I'm still on the air!

"Even your swordsmanship is very sloppy. Even laughable." the brown wolf commented

I quickly draw out my sword and tried to parry his attack. But he was even faster for me to handle. Before I have the chance to angle my sword and block his attack, he quickly draws out his katana and slashed me multiple times that I can count while I grunt in pain. I can't even count it with how fast he did it. But, why didn't I got any wounds?

"I used the blunt side of my sword." he explained to me

There was more to it. I can see the afterimage of his movements he left. It suddenly begin to repeat Eizan-senpai's attack flow. And I even recieve the same damage and pain before I was shot up.

"Swordsmanship is about form, speed, percision and timing." the brown wolf muttered.

He's completely different before. Was he holding back earlier? I need to fight back.

I quickly adjusted my stance in mid air. This is not the time to just take their attacks freely. 5 Celestial Swords materialized behind me. Time for counter-attack! The Celestial Swords then darted towards my senpais.

"I got this!" Akira-senpai shouted

Magic circles manifested infront of him. Just the same number as my Celestial Swords. He fires his gun at the same time streams of light bursts out of his magic circle. It intercepts my Celestial Swords and exploded sending them flying around and stick on the ground.

I bought time for me to land back down on the ground and prepared for my next attack. My sword glowed and slashed side ways unleashing a gigantic sword wave.

Ryoma-senpai went infront of them and slammed his fist down. An earth wall suddenly bursted out from the ground and blocked my attack.

The ground suddenly started shaking. Wait, I know what this is! Just in cue, a gigantic blade burst out from the ground just below me. I was in luck when I saw Ryoma-senpai did this earlier and parried it. But I didn't stop it from sending me up to the air again.

His presence! I quickly look up to see the German Shepherd was already above me. He slams his spear at me. I manage to block it. But, I couldn't stop it from him smashing me back to the ground. My impact formed a crater. This guy's strength is terrifying.

"Now you know our real differences?" Masutaro-senpai asked as he approached me.

I climb out of the crater. My body is aching from the beating I recieved from them. I begin catching my breath and tried to steady myself from standing.

"Not likely." I replied.

Without time to waste, I stabbed the ground with my sword and a giant magic circle appeared on the ground.

Masutaro-senpai looked around and saw the Celestial Swords that were blown away earlier started to react.

5 more Magic circle appeared on top of us in a stacking position. The uppermost circle then shoots out a magic beam down to the next circle. As it passes through, the beam magnifies each time it passes through a circle. In just a second, it made contact with the ground and exploded.

The explosion was devastating and violent, the arena walls started to crumble. You guys won't look down on me anymore after this.
