A Fight?

After the opening ceremony ended, Kai stood up, ready to leave. Suddenly, a pair of hands suddenly came from behind and grabbed his shoulder.

Kai turned around and saw that it was George's hands. George said while smiling, "Kai, let's go to class together. You're my new friend anyway."

Kai tilted his head as he was confused by his action. Well, he didn't have any reason to reject him, so Kai accepted his proposal. They left the gym together and went toward their classroom.

They walked normally before suddenly, danger approached them at a fast speed.

"Kaaiii!"

Kai dodged to the side out of reflex. The danger he felt was a black-haired busty lady. In other words, his sister.

"Y-you… you are-" George was dumbfounded when he saw who it was. It was the famous Tasha Carter.

When she realized that there was someone beside him, she immediately raised her guard. She tried to see who had the guts to stand beside him. After she found out that it was a man, she felt relieved.

"Un, un. I am glad that Kai has a friend now." Tasha nodded repeatedly. "Ah, you might have seen me previously, but I will introduce myself once more. I am Tasha Carter, elder sister of Kai Carter. Please take care of Kai for me."

"!!!" George turned to Kai in shock. He never expected that the average-looking guy was the brother of the famous Tasha Carter. He thought, Is he acting like this because of his sister? Or is it just him being special?'

"Yes, the pleasure is mine."

"Are you two going to class?"

"Yes." George nodded.

"Fufu, you will then choose a class representative for your first day and some boring introduction from the teacher. Well, Kai might become the class rep. Fufu, I will look forward to it. Oh, that's right. This is your weapon." Tasha handed a black block. Its size was pretty small, ten centimeters long, and three centimeter wide.

"You can say 'release' to use it. How about trying it out? I can change it if it's not to your satisfaction." Tasha said.

Kai nodded and said in a low voice. "Release."

The little block started glowing before it formed the shape of a sword. The little block expanded a little and became the sword handle. The small block took a small amount of Magic Power from Kai to form its blade. It formed a one-meter long single-edge green-colored blade. The blade was like a katana without a curve.

Kai felt something wrong with the sword. Not the blade, but the handle. It was too long. The handle was more than enough for two hands to hold it. But it wasn't his way of handling it.

"Fufu, you can split the handle, and it'll become your second sword." Noticing Kai's confusion, she immediately explained.

Kai tried it again and released the blade. It formed a blade identical to the first one. He checked his sword to see if there's something wrong.

"You three, it is against school rules to use yo-" They heard a familiar voice from the side. It was Kudo Ayaka's voice. When she wanted to reprimand the trio about the rule, she was shocked to see that her idol, Tasha Carter, was also there.

"Hm, you're the first-year representative." Tasha looked at her with her eyes narrowed.

"Ye-yes. I am Kudo Ayaka. Nice to meet you." She tried her best not to stutter.

"We didn't break any rule. He only used it to check whether it's good or not."

"Ara ara, I heard something interesting. In a case like that, you need a member of the student council to observe it and the approval of the student council president, which is me." A soft voice was heard from another direction.

It was the student council president. After looking at her, George knew that this would take a long time. He immediately patted Kai's shoulder, "I'll see you in the classroom."

He escaped as soon as he said that. Kai wanted to escape too, but Tasha grabbed him.

"You've said yes, Pres. I'm following the school rules." Tasha said cheekily.

"!!!" Yajima Haruko realized something.

…

Around an hour ago, before the opening ceremony started.

Tasha came to the student council office. She was humming happily. Yajima Haruko asked her, "You seem pretty happy. Did something happen?"

"Of course, Kai- I mean, my younger brother is enrolling here. I'm going to give him 'that'."

"Oh, you mean the one that you asked for back then."

"Yeah, I want him to try it, isn't that fine?"

"Haha, sure, just follow the school rules."

…

Yajima Haruko realized what she did. She did all of that to lower her guard. Tasha Carter, what a sly one. She had been watching from afar. Of course, she knew that Kai was Tasha's younger brother. She was thinking of inviting him to the student council.

She had investigated her and her younger brother. This 'Kai' seemed to have an interesting ability despite him being a rank D magician.

They were staring at each other with smiles. Of course, their expressions were dark.

"Fufu, as long as you obey the rules." Yajima Haruko said while smiling. Inside, she was cursing. 'Damn you sly bro-con b*tch.'

"Of course, I am also one of the student council members, I should follow the rules." Tasha was the same. She was cursing in her heart. 'You think I don't know that you're investigating my brother and me? Damn you, V*xen.'

Kudo Ayaka didn't know why, but she was scared after watching these two. Unconsciously, she was moving toward Kai and was trying to hide behind him.

Yajima Haruko turned her head to Kai. "Hi, I'm Yajima Haruko. I've heard so much about you from Tasha."

"Yes, nice to meet you." Kai nodded.

"Would you like to join the student council?"

"Eh?" Kai was confused. It wasn't only him. Even Kudo Ayaka, who was behind him, was also confused. She had been invited to join the Student Council too, but she remembered that the minimum requirement to join the student council was to be a Rank C magician.

She had seen his rank in his medical certificate. It was 'D'. Kudo Ayaka asked innocently, "But, Prez, isn't the minimum requirement to join the student council is to be a Rank C magician?"

"Ara, we meet again, Miss Ayaka." Haruko greeted her.

The culture where people called each other with honorifics like '-san', '-kun', and the others seemed to have been forgotten. It had changed to 'miss' or 'mister'. Such a shame, considering that those honorifics such as '-san' seemed to be more efficient. Unfortunately, people at this period wouldn't know about it.

"Snort, you can't even win against him even though you're an A rank while he's a D-rank," Tasha grumbled while crossing her arms.

"Eh?" Ayaka was shocked to hear such a response from Tasha. After all, it was a norm that people normally couldn't defeat another magician with a higher rank. And they had the difference of three ranks, to boot. Even though she idolized Tasha, she couldn't swallow this one. "I can win."

"Hmph, even I couldn't win against him, how can you?" Tasha snorted.

"Isn't it because you're a bro-con? You couldn't hit him." Haruko immediately said. "How about sparring against each other? We can use the student council's field and make an unofficial fight."

"No way." Kai was the first one to reject that idea. He didn't have any intention of doing that.

"Are you scared? Fufu, I never thought that Tasha's brother would be a scaredy-cat." Haruko provoked him… No, her target was Tasha.

"Of course my brother is not scared."

"Fufu, don't you want to see it too? You can try baiting with wealth. You know, like using money or weapons. Or are you too scared to be defeated by a Rank D magician?" Haruko was trying to get inside Ayaka's mind too.

Maybe it was because she had gotten used to this kind of job, but it seemed that she managed to convince her. "I can put a new weapon from the Kudo group as a bet. It's also a sword and you can release it anytime since it's in the form of a bracelet. Its output and efficiency are also top-notch."

Tasha's eyes blinked. She knew about the Kudo group. Their weapons were indeed top-notch. She looked at the sword that she gave just now. "Go, Kai. You can do it."

Kai facepalmed. He knew that it was easy to bait her. He looked at Yajima Haruko and thought, 'what a fearsome person.'

"I already have this wea-"

"Crack!"

Kai wanted to avoid this, but before he managed to say it, the sword broke into pieces. The perpetrator was his sister. After breaking the sword she gave, she turned to Kai and smiled. "I'm sorry, it seems that the weapon is broken. I'm sorry, it's only a cheap weapon. Kai, it's time for you to get a high-tech weapon."

Kai sighed, "I can't fight without a weapon, you know. You broke it just now."

"!!!" Tasha immediately realized that.

"You can use a weapon from the student council." Haruko was also eager to see his power. After all, sound magicians were rare.

"That's right. You can use the equipment in the student council." Tasha also nodded in approval.

"All right. It's settled then. We'll have our duel after school. You didn't expect to have a chance to skip class, did you?" Haruko suddenly said that. They finally remembered that they would have gone to class if this farce didn't happen.

Kai and Ayaka were in the same class, so they went in the same direction. Of course, Ayaka wasn't that polite to him anymore, saying that she would win and the like. While leaving, Kai took a glance toward Haruko.

He didn't know what she was planning, but she grasped people's personalities very well. He placed her in his dangerous women list. She placed second while his mother was first. As for his sister, Tasha, she was just a bit annoying, not dangerous.

Haruko looked at his disappearing back and sighed. She recalled some memories while taking out her necklace and said with a bitter voice, "So you really don't remember me, Kai."
