Duel 1

After the talk, Erika, Miyuki, and Tatsuya walked out from the student council room, and Erika looked at Miyuki with a worried expression.

"What's wrong, Erika? You have something to ask me?" Miyuki asked.

"Miyuki, are you not worried?" Erika asked.

"Huh? Worried about what?" Miyuki asked with some confusion.

"I know that you might have confidence in your brother, but you should also know that Haru is the 1st rank among everyone, he's the best, and he's also the heir of Rokkaku clan, and more importantly, how can you agree with his bet!?" When she saw Haru's smile, Erika knew that that guy wasn't a good guy, but rather a bad guy!

"What's wrong with his bet?" Tatsuya asked.

"He's a guy! And Miyuki is a beautiful girl! What if he asks a perverted request to you, Miyuki?" Erika asked with a blush on her face.

"....." Tatsuya and Miyuki.

"He won't, right?" Miyuki asked with an unsure tone.

"If it's someone else, then I don't think they will do it, but this is Haru, he's the one who manipulates us to fight or even the one who invites us to become the member of the Moral Committee, yet, in our mind, he isn't the bad guy, even though he's the one who initiated everything! Which shows how scary he is!?" Erika was wondering what the head of Miyuki was to agree with Haru's bet.

"....." Tatsuya and Miyuki.

Miyuki was a bit nervous and asked, "He - He won't ask some perverted requests, right?"

"I'm not sure, but you should be prepared to be asked for a date or something," Erika said with a sigh.

"I..." Miyuki wasn't sure what to do at this moment. After all, she had never considered herself to attract Haru since she knew that he was her aunty's lover, but then Tatsuya patted her head.

"Don't worry, I won't let him do something to you," Tatsuya said.

"Onii-sama..." Miyuki looked at Tatsuya and nodded, but in truth, she didn't hate the idea of going on a date with Haru. After all, that way, she could ask him many questions that she wanted to ask, but she wouldn't show it since she didn't want her brother to misunderstand her.

Haru, Mari, Suzune, Arisa, Mayumi, and Hattori had gathered there in the mock battle room.

"Haru, you bastard?! How dare you to have a bet right in front of me?!" Mari wanted to beat up Haru since this guy dared to make a bet in front of the head of the Moral Committee.

"Sorry, it is just I can't help it. After all, I can see that Miyuki's brother seems to be confident that he can beat me, which is why I want to tease them a bit," Haru said simply.

"What? Are you're angry? You're so childish!" Mari poked Haru's cheek.

"That's right, you're quite childish, Haru." Mayumi also poked Haru's other cheek.

"Enough!" Haru quickly slapped the finger of two girls.

Hattori prepared his CAD and said, "Don't lose the face of the student council, Haru." Even though he didn't think that Haru would lose, he needed to remind Haru as his senior, after all.

"I know Senpai, but you should also be prepared, after all, that your opponent is someone from the Chiba family, and she isn't weak," Haru said.

"I know you don't need to worry," Hattori said simply, but in truth, he didn't feel that much worry. After all, in the fight among Magicians, the one who had the fastest casting speed was the winner. Even though his opponent was someone from the Chiba family, he didn't think that he would lose at all.

"Still, what kind of request are you going to ask Miyuki-san if you win, Haru?" Suzune suddenly asked while looking at Haru with a smile, but this smile somehow was quite weird for some reason.

"......."

Suddenly the relaxed atmosphere turned into tension.

"Oh, right? You're not going to ask some perverted request, right? If you do, then I'll beat you up here and now," Mari said while staring at Haru with a furious gaze.

"Haru, it seems that I need to educate you as a new member of the student council," Mayumi said with a smile.

"Ha - Haru!" Azusa's face was blushing and red.

"Pe - Perverted request?!" Hattori was dumbfounded, and his face quickly turned red. As a man, he also had to admit that Miyuki was the most beautiful girl he had seen.

Haru had a chance to ask a perverted request such as holding a hand, asking for a bento, or even a date to Miyuki.

Hattori looked at Haru and couldn't help but feel amazed at him since this guy was too amazing, right? With just a mock battle, he could ask such a thing. He couldn't help but cast a gaze at Mayumi, wondering whether he could do the same.

Haru was speechless and asked, "Suzune-senpai, do you think that I'll ask such a perverted request?"

"Hmph, you can flirt with me before, and I believe that you can also flirt with Miyuki-san, too," Suzune said while looking away.

"........"

"WHAT?!"

Haru looked at Suzune speechless and knew that this girl was angry. Still, he smiled since he knew that he had penetrated her heart. After all, if she didn't feel angry and didn't care, she wouldn't show such a reaction, but before that, he needed to solve the problem in front of him first.

"What's happening?" Erika asked since she felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

"Nothing, you don't need to worry. You just need to focus on your mock battle with Hattori-senpai, Erika," Haru said simply and didn't want to explain what was happening before.

"Well..." Erika raised her eyebrow, but didn't say much, then looked at Hattori, who didn't even look at her. 'Let's see how your face is after I have beaten you up.'

Mari walked toward Erika and said, "Erika, be careful. Hattori is one of the top 5 strongest in First High School. He's never lost in a match since he entered the school a year ago."

Erika snorted and said, "You don't need to worry about me. You should worry about your junior after I have beaten him up."

Mari sighed and then said, "Well, that's true." She then looked at Hattori and asked, "Hattori, are you ready?"

"Anytime," Hattori said while holding his CAD bracelet.

"Erika, what about you?" Mari asked.

"I'm also ready," Erika said simply and took out her baton CAD.

Hattori and Erika then stared at each other, ready for the mock battle all the time.

As for the rest of the audience, they were standing on the side, watching the battle quietly, but then Miyuki looked at Haru unsurely.

"What's wrong, Miyuki?" Haru asked.

"Haru, you can't ask a perverted request on me, alright?" Miyuki said while looking at Haru as if she believed in him.

"............." Haru was speechless, but with all of that, he then looked at Tatsuya, who was looking at him with his usual stoic eyes. "Well, I wonder about that? Maybe I'll ask you for a date or two once I win this mock battle? What do you think, big brother?"

"You can say that after you have won," Tatsuya said plainly.

Haru smiled and didn't say much, then looked at the battle between Hattori and Erika.

On the other hand, Tatsuya was looking at Haru, even though he was very modest and had never thought of his ability was good, even looking down on himself, somehow at this moment, he wanted to win at Haru since if he didn't win, then he had a feeling that he might lose Miyuki in the future. He couldn't understand this feeling well. After all, he, who didn't have an emotion, suddenly could feel such a feeling, which made him quite perplexed and strange, but at the same time, he was uncomfortable by this feeling.

'Onii-sama...' Miyuki looked at Tatsuya worriedly, but at the same time, she was a bit relieved when she saw how Tatsuya showed emotion. Still, she was a bit annoyed at Haru since this guy was teasing her and her brother too much, right?
