The Reign Conference

The next day, everyone in the Kouryou Academy could see something strange happening in the school.

The students were clueless about what was happening, and no one told them anything, so they could only watch the outside through the building without doing anything, considering they weren't allowed to go out now.

"Why can't we go out yet they can go out?" Tooru couldn't accept it and asked the guards who stopped the students who wanted to leave the building. He had seen how Tsukasa, Julie, Tomoe, Miyabi, and Lilith had walked out of the building, yet they were here without knowing anything.

Tooru didn't like this feeling since it made him feel he was weak. He came to this school because he was weak. He couldn't protect anyone, and even his little sister was killed, so he sought to become stronger.

Yet, Tooru felt he was weak since there was nothing he could do right now. Even if no one told him anything, he could tell something bad was happening.

"They're Level III. On the other hand, you're only Level II. You'll be only a burden if you go out, so don't interrupt our task and just join everyone quietly."

The guards somehow felt Tooru's emotion, so he answered Tooru earnestly.

However, Tooru couldn't accept it since the meaning of the guards was clear.

He was weak.

Tooru wanted to say even if he was weak, he couldn't just stand here and do nothing since there must be something he could do, but his shoulder was held by Tora, his Duo. "Tora?"

"Stop it, Toru." Tora shook his head, but his expression was similar to Tooru's since he was also frustrated. "While you're an Irregular, you should also understand the difference between Level II and Level III. Right now, the two of us are Level II, and they have clearly told us that we're a burden, so right now, use that frustration to become stronger from now on."

Tooru could only grit his teeth and nod. He knew he was weak right now, and there was nothing he couldn't do, so he was going to use that frustration to become stronger.

"I know."

Tooru understood his situation, but it didn't mean he was alright with it. Right now, there might not be anything he could do, so he could only pray Tsukasa and everyone were alright.

If Tsukasa knew what Tooru was thinking, he wondered how good this guy was.

However, Tsukasa didn't hate such a hot-blooded youth, and he loved the word "youth."

If possible, Tsukasa wanted to scream those words, but he wasn't in such a mood now. Instead, he was sitting on the chair made by using his Blaze and putting on an indifference aura, so no one would approach him.

"You're really ---," Tomoe let out a tired sigh and said, "Can you put on a more friendly atmosphere? You'll make all of our "Senpai" an enemy!" She knew Tsukasa didn't like an unnecessary relationship, and she also understood why he put such an indifference aura around him, but even so, he should show some respect toward their seniors, right?"

Tsukasa looked at Tomoe and wondered how one could act like such a good girl. "Even if I act like this, there are still many people who want to get closer to me. Look around us. Is there someone who puts on a displeasure face except you?"

"........" Tomoe.

Lilith laughed while hugging Tsukasa's neck and said, "Just give up, Tomoe. If he really shows a smile right now, I am sure they'll try to confess or court him. Can you imagine how troublesome it is?"

"......" Tomoe.

His charm was once again so powerful that it would make anyone who saw him feel they were drowned and pulled by the whirlpool, unable to escape, and drowned deep into the sea.

However, instead of feeling suffocated, they felt happy being drowned and wanted to drown even deeper, showing how unreasonable his charm was.

"Lilith, move away. Tsukasa is my Duo!" Julie showed a displeasure expression.

"Oh my? We're already a Trio, right? I am already in your group, and even if I am not, I can do what I want," Lilith said with a snort since she didn't feel afraid of Julie. Even if Julie was powerful and had been trained by Tsukasa, she was also the same, and she didn't think she would lose to Miyabi, Tomoe, and Julie now since she had become stronger.

Julie wanted to say something, but her hand was pulled, and she suddenly sat on his lap.

"......." Everyone.

"Just sit there quietly."

"Ja."

"........" Everyone.

"Anyway, don't look at me like that. Lilith, can you tell me who they are? They have a different uniform from the rest of us," Tsukasa said.

"I won't tell you!"

"Lilith..."

"I'll answer you, but I need to sit on your lap!" Lilith pouted as she looked away.

"Can we talk about this type of conversation later? Please consider the time and the occasion!" Tsukasa let out a tired sigh, wondering why he had to encounter this type of romantic comedy development. He didn't mind meeting it in his free time, but they were about to encounter a problem, alright?

"Okay, but I'll sleep with you tonight! No more discussion!"

"...No."

"Why? Julie has always slept with you, right?" Lilith showed displeasure.

Julie felt happy somehow, but she was also quite curious why Tsukasa let her sleep with him, yet he didn't let Lilith.

"You're smart, so you can guess the reason, right?" Tsukasa said subtly.

"Oh?" Lilith suddenly realized something and looked at Julie before she nodded, showing she understood. However, she was a gentle, cute, and kind girl, so she wouldn't show sprinkle salt on Julie's wounds.

"......" Julie wasn't sure why, but she somehow felt annoyed. However, she didn't say anything and just sat on his lap since it felt comfortable and erased the annoying feeling in her heart.

"You-You guys! Please watch the place and the occasion!" Tomoe shouted and reprimanded all of them.

On the other hand, Miyabi could only laugh and look at Tsukasa with a meaningful gaze.

"........" Tsukasa.

After being reprimanded by Tomoe, Lilith started to explain who those people that had been walking around them were.

"They're the treasured elite of the Dawn Organization, the public maintenance order squad, the Ethnarch."

"Are they powerful?" Miyabi asked in wonder.

"Not really. If I have to say, they're decent. If they had fought all of us, without a doubt, they'd be defeated instantly," Lilith said confidently, but in a low voice since she didn't want to make everyone her enemies. She was someone who had been taught manners and came from a rich family, so she knew how to maintain her face in public and private.

"But if you compare them to a normal soldier, they're powerful after all. They're all Level III," Lilith said.

"How about Level IV?" Julie asked.

Lilith laughed and said, "The number of the Level IV is small, and the Level V is even smaller. They're all important like my Darling~~!" She hugged Tsukasa tightly with a happy smile.

Tsukasa felt it was hard to breathe, but he didn't have much to complain about since he could feel two soft things behind his head.

While they talked to each other, Tsukasa looked in the direction of the mansion where Sakuya and the rest of the members of the Reign Conference started their discussion. He wasn't sure what was going to happen, but he knew nothing good would come out of it.

However, Tsukasa had never expected a good result, and what he only needed was to beat the hell up of every Sakuya's opponent.

Tsukasa looked at the far distance and waited for the group of annoying flies to come toward them.
