Hakoniwa Academy.

Xander POV* (Finally some Xander)

Did you miss me bastards? Well everything that is happening is all fun so its normal that the shitty author would forget about me. Being on Kumagawa's side is certainly the best perspective to watch this show, though there has been no change in canon whatsoever. Should I change it? Nah, that's too much trouble, so.. next fight would be Kujira and Shibushi huh? Should I intervene in their fight just like what I did with Kumagawa? I did messed that one up, because of my interference Zenkichi didn't meet Najimi where he was given the parasite eyes.

Medaka and the others is probably already informed about what happened to her other members. Them being wrecked there would lower the morale of their group leading to Kujira going to Kumagawa for negotiation. "Gagamaru, would you like some?" I said while waving an manga series on my hand. "Hm? What kind of manga is it for this day, Xander-san? Just you know, I don't like boring manga as I would break anyone's bones to the person who will give me" Chougasaki said smiling. "Yeah, yeah, you can break my bones if you want. Though I doubt you would be able to do that" I said while shaking my head, Chougasaki was somehow pissed by my words but directed it to somewhere else. (A/N: the other members were ambushed while they were trying to train. Chougasaki and Shibushi did it)

"Oh, you done negotiating Kumagawa-senpai?" I asked as I looked at them who just arrived at the door. 『Xander-chan. Just like always, we failed. Well it was to be expected since that plan was just an joke one. Ah! Another manga? Why didn't you give me that one Xander-chan!』Kumagawa said as he saw the manga in Chougasaki's hands. "Manga huh.. that girl should be in this school already. Anyway here" I threw a manga at Kumagawa who received it with his face. "So the next fight would be Shibushi and Kujira right? Don't worry just like always we will lose" I commented while smiling as they just looked at me.

『Why do you think so, Xander-chan? The result is still not determined right? We are stronger than them anyway』Kumagawa asked with the same smile on his face. "Hm, since you had experience with that woman the longest, I thought you would be able to understand the mechanism of this world... Let's just wait for her be released, you will get your answers" I said as Kumagawa's face crumpled, he began thinking what is the thing that would make us lose even though we are stronger than the other side. "Don't think too much about it, its not like you senpai. We should just have an banquet, I'll cook for everyone" I said gaining one reaction from everyone. That is excitement.

I went to the kitchen before manifesting each ingredients that is needed. After cooking, I brought the food on the table where everyone savored the smell. "Then let's eat. I am quite famished from all the talkings before" I said before I began eating elegantly along with the other minuses who did the same. Though Kumagawa is different as he ate messily, he didn't even use any utensils. "That's right, senpai. You won't fight Kurokami yet right? Then could you let me fight her first? I just want to change her mindset of her being the only special person in this world. It would be rather troublesome if the genre changed because of that" I brought the topic as they were confused by my words. Only Kumagawa understood some of it. 『Okay, don't break her though. I will still fight her on the finals』Kumagawa said.

"Shibushi, you've been quiet for a while now. Are you scared? Sorry you can't back out, if you do then we'll kill you" I said with a innocent smile on my face. Chougasaki and Kumagawa just nodded their heads as if my words were just. "Shut up, Xander. I am just thinking that based on your words, something bad will happen" Shibushi said, "Why are you worried about that? We already experienced the worsts as a minus. Worrying about something that would eventually become bad to us is not good for your mind. You should just let your thoughts free" Chougasaki said before reflecting Shibushi's stress towards a tree outside which immediately broke.

"Ah, that felt much better" Shibushi said smiling. 『Aha! I see, I now understand how that woman think.』Kumagawa suddenly said out of nowhere, "Hm? Did you really understood my words senpai?" I asked looking at him who just smiled. I shook my head before thinking about the surprise that I gave to Medaka and the others. 'I wonder how Mashiro is doing right now, we haven't seen each other for 2 weeks now' I thought as I slowly gave the right to change perspective to the shitty author.

3rd POV*

After Medaka and the others returned from the battle with Kumagawa, they were informed that the other members were attacked so they immediately went there only to see that the minuses already left. The only one left is their members who are injured worse than Zenkichi has. They managed to take them to Naze for lab and then sent them all to the hospital. If Hinokage and Maguro are absent, then Medaka's training would be halted. They also had no choice but to withdraw Kouki and Kikaijima from the election battle as well.

They are currently in a room with an heavy atmosphere circling around it. "Even though we won, I don't feel happy at all. Kumagawa is too sick.. I can't comprehend him at all!" Zenkichi said as he slammed his fist to the table. Medaka closed her eyes before arriving at a decision, "Nee-sama.. can you fight for the next round?" Medaka asked while looking at Naze who just raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think that I will accept your proposal? You know that I hate troubles right? I would rather research than to fight" Naze said as Medaka smiled, "I am confident since you are my sister after all, even though my sister might be stiff and always hiding her emotions, she is always looking at others carefully. She is al-", "Stop, Kurokami! It can't be helped, I had no choice but to accept it. I guess you people really couldn't do anything without me huh?" Naze said.

"Then its decided. Are you ready for your fight, nee-sama? This might be a hard one since even Hinokage-senpai couldn't handle them" Medaka asked Naze who just crossed her arms. "Who do you think I am? There is no way I could lose to bunch of imperfect trash" Naze sneered while thinking about Kumagawa and his group. "I know you have confidence but please lessen it, we don't want you to lose because of your arrogance" Koga reprimanded Naze who just sulked. "Yeah, yeah, alright. I'll be humble" Naze said as Koga smiled at her.

The door to the room was knocked as Medaka raised an eyebrow. "Come in" she instructed as the door was opened. "Sorry for intruding but Kurokami-san, there is a new transfer student that wanted to meet you" some random girl enter as she informed Medaka. "Please tell her that we are quite busy, I will meet with her later after we finish our meeting" Medaka said as the girl gained an complicated look on her face. "Actually.. she handed me something, she said that if I show it to you, you will accept it" the girl said before taking something from her pocket. Zenkichi and Medaka widened their eyes at the thing as they immediately stood up. "Where is she?" Medaka asked.

"U-Uhh.. please wait for a second! I'll get her!" The girl excused herself before running out of the door. Medaka and Zenkichi looked at each other before smiling, "Hm? What's gotten you two so happy?" Naze asked while raising an eyebrow at them. The two just stayed quiet before the door was opened again, this time its not just the random girl earlier, there is an beautiful girl by her side this time. "Woah, she's beautiful" Koga said admiring the scene infront of her. Her admiration turned into surprise when Zenkichi and Medaka turned blur before they arrived at the girl's side. "Mashiro!!" Medaka shouted before embracing the girl.

"Hm. Its been a long time, Medaka, Zenkichi" Mashiro said while smiling at them. "Yeah.. its really been a long time" Zenkichi returned the greeting with a nostalgic smile on his face. "Mashiro! Where have been all this time? I looked for you and Xander but I couldn't find you anywhere!" Medaka asked as she looked at Mashiro who shook her head. "It's normal that you couldn't find us, especially when it us your father that is hiding our information from your eyes" Mashiro said as Medaka turned shocked. "Father? That old man really dare to hide you from me!" Medaka grumbled while tapping her feet on the floor.

"Wait, but why did Xander mentioned that he devoured you?" Zenkichi asked while tilting his head, he still can't understand that. "Well.. how bold of Xander to mention our private life" Mashiro said as a blush creeped out her face. Zenkichi immediately understood what she is talking about as his lips twitched. "Anyway, I am just relieved that I could still meet you like this" Medaka said before smiling, she placed her hand on the table while Mashiro did the same. They clenched their hands before they started hand wrestling. The power of their arms was too strong that shockwave emitted from their clash, Medaka's hands are already bulging trying to push Mashiro's hand but it was useless as Mashiro still looked composed as if she isn't even trying at all.

"I'll take my win" Mashiro said before pushing Medaka's hand towards her side. BOOM! The push was too strong that it broke the table to pieces. Medaka shook her numb hand while a smile was still embedded on her face. "Oi, oi, this is too absurd. Kurokami lost in a battle of strength? Who is that girl?" Naze said as she inspected Mashiro. Mashiro detected her inspecting gaze as she smiled at Naze. "Well, its normal. This is what always happens when those two compete. Somehow Medaka-chan couldn't win against Mashiro in terms of strength. They competed many times but she never gain an W even once. Though Medaka-chan could always wreck Mashiro in terms of intellect as that girl is somehow numb to emotions?" Zenkichi explained.

"I see that you didn't lost your ability to destroy me in games like this. Still.. I had a lot of questions Mashiro, can you answer them?" Medaka asked while looking at Mashiro hopefully. "If its not too much then its fine. I want to get back to Xander for separating with me for 2 weeks after all" Mashiro said with an innocent smile on her face that looked nothing like an angel. "Really!? Then.. why did Xander turn into a minus? With you on his side, turning into a minus is impossible right?" Medaka immediately asked that question as she is curious about the state of her childhood friend. "Well, Xander is not really an minus. He can be an plus or he can be an minus, he just joined that side since he thought it was amusing" Mashiro said baffling Medaka.

"Haah! He joined just to have fun? Are our suffering doesn't worth much to him?" Zenkichi asked increduosly. "Probably" Mashiro simply said while shaking her head. She already understood Xander a little during the time they were living together, she observed that he consider feelings or such vague that's why, he doesn't care too much about the others except for them. "The more I know about this Xander Ranvil, the more ridiculous it gets. Hey you girl, can you fight?" Naze asked while staring at Mashiro who smiled. "There is only 2 person stronger than me in this world except for Xander" Mashiro confidently said. "Hoh, you are rather confident" Naze said trying to see if Mashiro would bite this one.

"I can see your attempt Kujira. Well, letting everyone see is not a trouble though. Let's see.. All Fiction.." Mashiro said making everyone widen their eyes, the table that was infront of them suddenly vanished. "Hey, hey.. All Fiction? This is a joke right?" Zenkichi said in disbelief, that was too much even for them. "Hm? Its not though" Mashiro said before doing something. Everyone was surprised again when Zenkichi's wounds was erased. "Mashiro, can you heal brother and the others?" Medaka asked with desperate tone, she needed them in this emergency situation. ".. I can probably do that. Their wounds aren't made by All Fiction after all" Mashiro said as Medaka's eyes soften.

"Thank you.. fortunately you didn't change and is still an kind girl. You're a life saver, Mashiro" Medaka thanked Mashiro while hugging her. Mashiro didn't reject it and responded with the same gentle hug. She learned a lot during her growth in this world, she can see that Medaka is growing during desperate times like this, that is why she didn't reject Xander's proposal of helping Kumagawa in their games. "Then please lead me towards them, I want to see them" Mashiro said as Medaka began leading her towards the hospital.

Day of the 2nd Match.

"Everybody, it has been a week. So now let's begin the second battle of the student council election" Choujabaru opened the battle with that. "Like the previous time, we must decide the form of the battle. By the way, Kumagawa-sama, Ranvil-sama, please step forward" Choujabaru said as the two tilted their heads before doing it. They raised their eyebrows when Choujabaru began placing handcuffs on their hands. "What is the meaning of this, Choujabaru-kun? This is unfair right, are you discriminating us?" Xander asked while smiling. 『Yeah! Yeah! You tell him! This is an discrimination to us Minus!』Kumagawa was amused by this situation as he supported Xander.

"I apologize but this is the only way to keep the match from being interrupted. You two are quite an uncontrollable variables so hindrance during the match is not impossible" Choujabaru explained as the two just shrugged, this kind of thing is useless to them anyway, no matter how strong it is Kumagawa could just turn it into nothing. "Then for today's secretary battle, Shibushi-sama will choose among the 12 animals here." Choujabaru laid the cards with words written on them. Shibushi didn't hesitate and choose the same one Kumagawa used during the first fight, in short 'snake'.

Choujabaru lead Naze and Shibushi towards the area where they would fight. Naze normally doesn't need to fight since Kouki was already healed, but she still need to face this girl since she was provoked before. Everyone was watching this fight happen, "Your battlefield would be this school canteen freezer. The temperature inside is -48°C. It's the same as South Pole's coldest region" Choujabaru said showing everyone the freezer. "The theme of this battle is Ecdysis and Hibernation. The rules are simple, you just need to take the clothes of the other party. The first one to take all of the clothes would be deemed as the winner" Choujabaru began explaining the rules to them.

Maguro and Hitomi inspected the area and saw many things that could lead to their victory already. Since unlike the canon where Maguro was hospitalized and couldn't tell Naze the ability of Shibushi, this time he gave all sorts of advice to her. Naze already knew the ability of Shibushi as she already made an countermeasure against it. "Are you prepared to lose, second hand knock off?" Shibushi provoked Naze who just smirked at her. "I bet you are, out of the date deb" she returned the provocation with a same one gaining a sigh from her team. "Even though Kujira is quite intelligent, she is rather childish sometimes" Maguro commented with a happy smile on his face. He is quite proud of her little sister.

『What's wrong, Medaka-chan? You haven't said anything. Are you regretting this because stripping is one of your best subjects?』Kumagawa asked with an amuse smile on his face. "Unlike the likes of you, we bet our lives in this battle. You just don't care about the result. You're just here to harass us" Medaka replied. 『Maybe, but its unexpected that you think of us that way. We have our own reason too.. ok then! Let's do this. If Shibuki-chan loses to Naze-san in this battle then me and Xander will withdraw to Hakoniwa Academy 』Kumagawa suddenly proposed startling everyone who was listening. "Are you sure about this proposal, senpai? Doing it infront of the election management division is dangerous you know?" Xander said clearly amused.

『Don't worry Xander. Everything would be more fun this way after all... Wait? Who is that girl beside you?』Kumagawa noticed that someone was snuggling to Xander. It was a girl he didn't noticed before, "Hah, unlike you loser senpai, I am still quite blessed when it comes to relationship! This is Mashiro, the only girlfriend I have in this world" Xander introduced Mashiro who just smiled at everyone while waving her hand. 『This world? Quite a weird way to say it but either way I have a question.. did you already made her do an naked apron?』Kumagawa asked seriously which is weird considering his personality. "..You bet I did. I even made her do a naked jeans with hand as a bra!" Xander exclaimed some stupid words gaining a pinch from Mashiro.

『W-What..?! That's unbelievable! You dare to sully a girl with your filthy hands, you minus?!』Kumagawa was flabbergasted by Xander's words as he kneeled on the ground in disbelief. All of his dreams were already achieved by Xander, and he seemed nonchalant about it! "Heh, even though you are the most expert when in terms of weakness, you don't understand yours right, senpai? That's why you still don't have an girlfriend" Xander sneered at him adding additional damage to his fragile heart. "Please stop the stupid conversation. The battle will start now" Mashiro said while shaking her head at Xander.

Kumagawa was amused by how docile Xander became when Mashiro began talking. He looked around and was shocked by what he saw, 『Zenkichi-chan.. your sight has returned..?』He asked while thinking of possibilities. "Yeah? Your ability has expired already" Zenkichi just said while tilting his head in confusion. 『That's impossible.. even I cannot return what I erased. Is it the work of that woman..? No, Zenkichi didn't die so he should have never met her』Kumagawa was biting his nail in frustration. "Ah, stop thinking too hard senpai. I just returned his eyesight" Xander simply said while yawning. 『What? How did you do it, Xander-chan?』Kumagawa asked curiously.

"Since you erased the record of Zenkichi's eyes in the Cause and Effect, then I just returned it. Well explaining is a hassle but that is the initial idea" Xander explained making Kumagawa raise an eyebrow. 『I see, that is an amazing ability. Something I don't want to have』Kumagawa said as he thought that Xander's ability might be the solution for his problem. The two ended their conversation as Shibushi entered the freezer. Naze shook her head before doing the same, the moment she stepped on the freezer, some scars in her body suddenly opened making her drop on the floor. "Gah.!" She grunted in pain. "Don't be carefree like that, Naze-senpai. The moment you entered this room is the moment the battle starts!" Shibushi sneered.
