Chapter-110 ( Tabane's Arrival )

Time continued to advance and it was already 6 in the afternoon.

"Well, as you have seen, it is already late and it is no longer possible to continue with the tournament so we will continue tomorrow" - Tatenashi said with a big smile as the screen began to change, showing the names of the remaining participants.

Laura and Charlotte looked at Ichika and Cecilia because they would be their opponents if they made it to the semifinals, on the other hand, Cloud was looking excitedly at Tina and Rin's team because they would face each other in the semifinals of their section. Tina smiled back as she gave him a seductive wink.

"Ugh... I feel like we're just stepping stones for them..." - a girl muttered with annoyance seeing how the Representatives were looking at each other. The other girls nodded at her words because they felt the same way.

"Remember to use this time to have a strategy for your next opponents" - the student council president smiled as she looked at the 15 teams in front of her.

"Hai!" - The girls exclaimed while Cloud and Ichika remained silent.

"You can leave"- Tatenashi nodded as those present followed her instructions.

"CloudStrife!" -Tina said as she walked towards the blonde- "What did you think of my fight?"

"What can I say? It was interesting"-Cloud said as he looked at the beautiful girl in blazer-"Now I'm excited to fight you at your full potential"

Tina's smile grew when she heard this because it was obvious that the boy was interested in her, at least as her opponent for now- "I'll be waiting for you"

"Tub!" -exclaimed Rin as she took her friend's hand- "We have to continue with our strategy meeting"

"Oh come on~!" Tina exclaimed irritably as she was dragged out of the room.

"She's... someone lively..." Houki muttered as she looked at the blonde "I think we should do the same"

"Do you want me to take you by the hand and drag you along?" Cloud asked with a half smile.

"I-I didn't mean that, Baka!" Houki exclaimed, her face red with embarrassment, but she still held out his hand.

"Ha ha ha!" - Cloud just took her by the hand and 'dragged' her out of the place.

"Remind me to talk to MY boyfriend…" Charlotte said with a great deal of jealousy.

"You can do it when our battles are over"-Laura said as she dragged Charlotte out of the place.

"Is it a new fad?" Ichika asked as a drop of sweat trickled down the back of his neck.

"I'm sorry, Ichika-san... I can't do that..." - Cecilia said sadly.

"I didn't plan for you to either!" -exclaimed the black-haired boy as he shook his head- "We better continue with our plans"

"I agree" - agreed Cecilia with a big smile.

"What do you think of the fighting?" Chifuyu asked as she looked at her green-haired friend.

"There were some exciting battles, although the vast majority were... normal" - Maya replied calmly - "What surprised me, was Tina Hamilton-san's skill..."

"I'm a bit interested in her too" Chifuyu said as she watched the recording of the girl from America's match "She's interesting... especially her ability to increase her speed over time. .."

"Didn't you know of her power?" Maya asked in surprise.

"No...she had only read reports"- Chifuyu said calmly- "Hamilton's abilities were only reported to me through documents so she wasn't sure how much of that force was accurate"

"That's strange" - Maya said seriously - "That shouldn't be like that..."

"It's not as strange as you think" - said the black-haired teacher - "At least 60% of the Representatives have this kind of inaccurate information because they need to have all the tricks up their sleeves they can have"

"I understand" - nodded the green-haired teacher.

"By the way... we have news that the Seventh Princess of Luxembourg is going to transfer to our academy"-Chifuyu said as she saw how a big smile appeared on her friend's face.

"Does that mean she's coming?" Maya asked with curiosity and emotion.

"She is her personal knight, so it is obvious that she comes with the princess"-Chifuyu said as she nodded.

"It's been years since I last saw her...I wonder how she's doing"-said Maya as she reminisced about her student days at the IS Academy"

Houki, right now, was breathing hard as she looked at the blonde who was casually in front of her.

"You can rest"-Cloud agreed as he watched as the girl collapsed on the ground.

She had been training alongside Cloud the entire time since they left the Arena because they found that far from strategizing their opponents, it was better to train to improve.

"Ugh… it still hurts to breathe…" Houki mumbled as she tried to sit up, only to feel the blonde help her settle down, "Thank you…"

"How have you been feeling lately?" Cloud asked curiously.

"Better...at least it doesn't hurt as much as it did at first"-Houki said as she stretched and in the process, cracking her bones.

Cloud just gave him a smile because he was proud of the improvements Houki had shown. He was sure she would be unstoppable when she got her own IS from her.

*Tititi~ Tititi~*

"Is that your communicator or mine?" Cloud asked in surprise.

"I think he's mine"-Houki said as he got up with difficulty and walked to where his things were. Calmly, she answered she hit the answer button, only to hear a voice she knew quite well.

'Hello~! Tabane-chan desu~!'

"Cut call"-Houki said as she turned off her communicator.

". . ." -Cloud just shook his head, although his lips were trembling at the reaction of her childhood friend.

*Tititi~ Tititi~!*

"I guess now it's me"-Cloud said as he shrugged and answered the call.

'You're mean, Houki-chan~!'

"Sorry, it was an involuntary reflex" - Houki said calmly.

'Oh come on~!'

"Onee-chan... please get straight to the point..." the girl from Japan sighed as she shook her head.

'Houki-chan doesn't love Onee-chan anymore now that she has a boyfriend... I curse you, Cloud Strife-chan~!'

"I'm going to hang up..." - Cloud said with seriousness.

'Ok!Ok!Mou~!Can't you be nice to me?'

"Cutting off call"-muttered Cloud as he turned off her communicator as her friend, only to see how a screen appeared from one of the walls.

"Ok, that was being rude" - Tabane said as she appeared on the screen - "And I came with good news for my precious Houki-chan"

"Onee-chan...what did I tell you about hacking into the Academy's cameras and monitors?" Houki asked seriously.

"I only hacked the cameras once…" Tabane snorted in annoyance.

"Yes... but it was the one in my bathroom..." - Houki said coldly - "We have to talk seriously about how you have to stop invading my privacy"

"Ok… can we stop talking about this?" -asked the inventor while she frowned with irritation- "Aren't you curious to know what I'm about to inform you about?"

"Did you finally get a boyfriend?" Houki asked as she feigned surprise.

"Ha! Very funny, Houki-chan" - Tabane said with annoyance as she frowned, only to give her a big smile after a few seconds - "You know very well that I am faithful to my little sister, my precious Houki -chan~! Wait a second, don't turn off the monitor! DON'T turn it OFF~!"

"Onee-chan... I'm starting to lose patience" - the young Shinonono snorted irritably - "What do you want to talk about?"

"Okay... I'm going to get straight to the point" - Tabane sighed with annoyance but quickly regained her sleepy expression - "What I wanted to say, was that I finally managed to finish off my greatest creation! Houki-chan~! You will finally have your own IS!"

"!" Houki's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. She couldn't hide the emotion she felt when she heard the wonderful news—"Is that serious?!"

"Of course!" - Tabane nodded firmly - "Why would I lie to my beloved Imouto?"

"Thank you Onee-chan! Thank you!" - the girl exclaimed with emotion.

"Yey~! Houki-chan thanked me~!" - Tabane said with emotion.

"When will the IS arrive?" Cloud asked curiously.

"I'm coming in a few seconds~" - Tabane said as the two listened as someone knocked on the window.

Cloud slowly walked towards the place and noticed how a smiling Tabane was outside mounted on some kind of flying vehicle - "Hallo~ Hallo~! Tabane-chan is on the spot~!"

Cloud quickly opened the window and let the inventor in, only to hit a button on her vehicle and make her 'disappear'.

"Praise be to technology," Tabane smiled as her robotic rabbit ears twitched with 'excitement'.

"I can't believe I actually finally have my personal IS!" Houki exclaimed as she hugged her sister excitedly.

"Hehehe~!" -for her part, Tabane only let out a laugh similar to that of an old pervert that clearly irritated her younger sister- "Ok, I'm sorry... it's just that you don't show affection to your Onee many times- chan"

"Maybe if you didn't act like an obsessive pervert, I wouldn't have a problem showing you a true sister side" - Houki said seriously.

"How can you call your Onee-chan a pervert~!?" Tabane exclaimed as she feigned pain.

"Because you spy on me while I take a bath" - said Houki.

"I make sure you're safe and that no perverts take advantage of you" - answered Houki.

"You take a picture of me while I sleep" - Houki said again.

"It's for your safety, anyway" - answered the inventor.

"You grab my breasts whenever you get the chance" - Houki said furiously.

"I check that you are developing correctly...by the way, keep it up and very soon you will have bigger breasts than Onee-chan's"-said Tabane as she raised her prominent forehead proudly. She had slightly larger breasts than her sister, although it was obvious that Houki's would be much larger when they reached her age.

"I think we're getting off track"-the blonde sighed as he shook his head. He knew very well that Tabane was like that when Houki was involved.
