Duel

-Are you two making fun of me!? You might be smarter than me, but that doesn't mean you are more capable! Even the former won't stay like this!

-I guess? I shall root for you.

-And you on the other hand. How could you come to school without reading the guidebook? By being one of the only two men capable of using IS I expected much more out of you.

Ichika seemed sad after hearing that

-Having any expectations of me or something like that is already a problem...

-Then so be it. As a superior member of society, I can very easily help you in the subject, if you beg that is… After all, I am elite of the elite that even managed to defeat an instructor.

-Ah? But I also defeated an instructor. Said Ichika

-Nani?!

-Can I even call that a win? I just dodged her attack and she flew straight into the wall.

-A coincidence. I said

-I thought that I was the only one… But now two more appear, and man at that…

Ding-dong. The school bell signalized the start of another class

-We shall continue our conversation later, do you understand that? She said while pointing at me.

After the class ended me and Ichika went to the dorms

the way it works is pretty simple

1001 to 1999 are for the first years, though there aren't that many rooms, to begin with.

2001 to 2999 are for the second year students and lastly, 3001 to 3999 are for the third years.

Ichika's room was 1025 while mine was… The fucks this? Caretakers room?

So… I will be in a temporary put-together room while my boy over here gets to stay with a girl?

{At least you get some privacy, and it's not like you have the courage to do anything in the first place}

Are you challenging me?

{Go on. Touch a girl and you will become public enemy number 1}

…

{It doesn't matter if they are willing or not. It might be fine if the girl admits being your girlfriend but if you decide to become a playboy then… Sayonara! You will get a first-class ticket to hell}

So they can make advances on me but I can't do shit?

{You can play around a bit but most of the girls here are naive in things related to relationships, even some of the teachers. What you have to understand is, if you want to live a carefree life then don't go too far. These girls are like, 20 years younger than you anyway.}

You know I was joking, right?

{Yeah yeah, keep on lying to yourself}

But it's good to know that if I go too far I might be ok for a while, but that is until I leave the academy grounds.

{Yup, you also need to remember that the powers behind some of the girls are rather big too. Cecilia has the entire nation of England behind her, as her well-being represents England.}

Ok ok, sheesh.

Walking down the rooms we finally found Ichika room

-Is it here? asked Ichika

-I guess so if they don't have something like blocks or whatever

I could hear water falling. Someone is taking a shower. Of course, Ichika couldn't hear it from here.

-I will go find my room then, good luck Ichika.

-See you around… Wait... luck?

But when Ichika realized something was wrong I was already far away.

Leaving Ichika to deal with his roommate, I went to find my room.

Outside of the dorms, there was a small building, nothing impressive really, it looked more like a small warehouse than a room.

{Its because it is a warehouse}

Entering the warehouse a found a bunch of neatly stashed objects probably daycare necessities for all the rooms such as towels if anyone needs them. Going deeper into it I found another door. This time, it was locked. Not seeing any other doors on site I passed my ID on the electronic lock and the door opened.

-Guess this is my room huh.

When I entered the room… I was surprised.

The room wasn't big, but it is certainly bigger than the other student's rooms. It had a bed in the middle of the room, a computer was placed on one of the tables of the room, and a wardrobe. Overall, it had the same things as the student's rooms. There was also a shower on the right. On an empty table was a note.

The note said sorry about the lack of rooms and that it has prepared this room as a replacement for now and that soon there would be room for him soon.

This is a military school, a rather worry-free one, but still. Having a room for myself is great. Soon I would have to change rooms, they will most likely pair me with Ichika. As we are both boys and all.

I took a shower and went to sleep.

/Next day on class/

-Now we are going to choose the class representative that will fight in the inter-class tournament…

She then explained the position responsibilities

-I vote for Orimura-kun

-Me too

-I vote for Miyoshi-Kun

…

For some reason, I ended up receiving more votes than Ichika when…

-I can't accept this! Said the blond girl

-To have a man as the representative is a shame! Do you want me, Cecilia Alcott, to pass through such an embarrassment for an entire year?!

-Not only that! Having to stay in a country with such a low level of culture is a great bother!

-And what does England have to make themselves proud of? Said Ichika

-I don't remember the last time England lost the world championship for the worst culinary. I said. I didn't really like this girl's current personality.

-What! We have an infinitude of good recipes! How dare you insult my country.

-I propose a duel! She said while pointing at me

-Fine I guess, better than wasting time like this.

-Yeah! Show her what for Seiichi! Screamed Ichika

What the… Are you my fangirl now?

-If you lose you are to become my servant! No, you are going to be my slave.

-And if you lose? Are you going to become mine?

Wait, I phrased that wrong…

-What! You pervert! Said Cecilia blushing

-I am the pervert here?

-The duel will be marked for next Monday on the 3 arena. Miyoshi, Alcott, be ready for it. Said Chifuyu

The bell then sounded

-Silence now.

-Miyoshi, Orimura, about your personal IS, it is still getting ready. Since there aren't any units available, the school will prepare an exclusive one for each of you.

Then the classroom exploded with sounds as everyone started discussing this fact and how incredible it is to own an exclusive one.

-Sigh… I wanted to make my own IS.

-HUH?! The entire class

-What do you mean Miyoshi-kun?! Said Cecília

-Are you deaf? I said I wanted to make my own IS.

-Arg! How rude of you! Do you know that no one can replicate an IS core?! Even after 10 years, all powers in the world have been trying to replicate it and you think that you, out of everyone, will be capable of doing it?

-Yes.

-ARG!

-But everything isn't lost anyway. I can always make my own core later, as for the rest I will make it when my IS comes.

-Is having an exclusive IS so special? Asked Ichika

-You don't even know that? Well, allow me to explain that to you…

Basically, since there are only 467 cores, only leaders of big corporations and powers can own an exclusive IS. In Cecilia's words "The elite of the elite".

-But, since your situation is special, we have created a special unit for both of you with the purpose to collect data on you both. Said Chifuyu

-Understood?

-I think I did… Said Ichika

-Sensei. Does Shinonono-san have anything to do with Dr.Shinonono? Said a random classmate, a girl with very short black hair and two purple accessories on it.

… No shit girl

-She is her sister.

Another wave of "ehh!?" was released

-Yamada-sensei, continue the class. Said Chifuyu

She then proceeded to explain how the IS has a unique conscience, hence, the more a pilot uses said IS, the more it will grow used with him.

-The IS shouldn't be seen as a tool. Please see it as a partner. Is there any question?

-Partner like a boyfriend? Said a different random classmate

-Th-That is… I never had any experience so I can't say for certain… And then she started to fantasize.

-Hahaha, sensei is so cute! X Class

-Is this the atmosphere of an all-girls school? X2
