Chapter:51 Bus Drive

"Where is [Student Council President]? The bus is already here and he still hasn't shown up yet!....."

The day for the [Nine-School Competition] was finally upon Erik and his friends. The participation list had been verified while Katsuto and Erik were introduced to their partner in the upcoming [Monolith Code].

Today, the participants had to reach the stadium and attend an early party organized by Kudou Retsu, famously called the [Sly Warlock] or [Patriarch Retsu].

The Vice-President of the Student Council was busy berating the president who was the reason for the hold-up.

Senju Hashirama was an extremely competent man, the position of Vice-President was entitled to him by the majority vote by the Teachers, who always scolded the President for his lazy attitude.

He wore glasses on his face and held a digital notepad within his hands, noting down the numbers of times his superior had been lazing around.

"Huff!...."

"Huff!...."

"I am here! Got caught up while finishing my thesis..."

A tall man, wearing a cap over his head could be running towards the bus while wearing a white-tracksuit. He had short-spiky black hair and sharp eyebrows.

He was Uchiha Sasuke, the current president of the [Student Council], also the famed [Pyrokinesist of the First-High].

The president was a lazy man who often shifted all the hard work to Hashirama, thus getting yelled at by the latter but that didn't mean he was lacking in the skills department.

Uchiha Sasuke had been dominating [Monolith Code] for the past 3-years, winning every single year using his insane ability to manipulate fire.

Not to mention that he belonged to an Extra-Family Clan, thus giving him more resources with which he built his foundations.

He along with the Vice-president and the head of the Public Morals Committee had been dominating the [Monolith Code] for 3-straight years.

"Why do you have to be so late? Do something productive!..."

"Don't yell at me, Mom!....."

"What did you just say!?..."

"I am here now, aren't I? Let's get going, we are getting late!....."

"No shit Sherlock!..."

While the two teammates continued with their bickering on the bus as it started moving at a moderate speed, Erik was busy reading another book, named "1000-ways to destroy the World".

Beside him sat Mayumi, wearing her First-High School uniform rather than some other fancy dress, knowing full well that the school clothes were the best choice before the beginning of the competition rather today.

Not to mention her amazing figure and alluring personality had a different charm to her whenever she wore the school dress.

Her fists were clenched, she had been waiting for a chance to replay Erik's kindness and now that she knew that winning would make him happy she decided to make sure that she wins in the upcoming event, not to mention her was also representing the Saegusa Family.

"What are you ready, Erik?....."

"Oh!...Nothing major, just a collection of philosophical suggestions..."

"Ah.....okay, I guess....."

"Relax Mayumi, I know you have been grinding your skills in the training room for the [Speed-Shooting], I am sure that you will perform perfectly....."

"Thanks! I will try to secure the first position for our school!...."

"I know you will..."

Erik let out a slight smile towards Mayumi who was nervously looking outside the window.

After the hotel incident, Mayumi would easily get flustered whenever she and Erik are alone, though she would desperately try to cover up, Erik didn't have any problem in seeing right through her feebly attempts.

He shook his head before once again focusing on the book he was reading. Mayumi peeked from the corner of her eyes, only to find Erik reading his book.

'Humph! Why does he always read books! Can't he just converse more with me! It isn't like that the book contains something he desires.....!'

"Suzune-san, can you help me recheck my sniper rifle once we reach the stadium? I want to make sure that my equipment is all okay....."

"Sure, once we register our entry and enter the hotel, I will help you recheck your rifle....."

"Thank you, Suzune-san....."

"You are the best!...."

"It okay, as a [Tactical Engineer], it's my duty to make sure the equipment does not malfunction....."

ℂ𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜! (Creak!)

The Vice-President, Senju Hashirama stood up from his seat and turned around to face the students sitting within the bus.

A serious expression surface on his face as the murmuring going on within the bus immediately stopped.

"Okay, everyone! We have reached our destination! The [Student Council] will now register our entry at the reception and take the keys to our respective rooms..."

"A small party has been organized by the sponsors of the tournament. The participants from all Nine-institutes will also attend the party, this is a precious opportunity to know your potential rivals..."

"You all are forbidden to discuss anything related to your performance in the upcoming event, other than that you may engage in any kind of talks with the others...."

"You are also required to attend the party in your school uniforms, so to represent your affiliation with the First-High School....."

"Don't create unnecessary trouble and remember that you are representing our school on a grand stage, everyone please be in your best behaviour...."

"Do you all understand?..."

"Yes! Vice-president....!"

"Good! [Student Council], please follow me outside the bus to register...."

"Can't you go alone and just fill the registration form by yourself?...."

A lazy voice resounded throughout the bus, the president, Uchiha Sasuke spoke in a disinterested tone while looking towards the fuming expression of the Vice-president.

'No Hashirama!, you must calm down....he is a joker, yes a joker! Just ignore him.....'

The Vice-president let out a snort as he stepped outside the bus. The president let out a groan, knowing full well that he had to follow behind.

"I am getting old for all of this....."

He grumbled for a few seconds before following after the Vice-president. The other members of the [Student-Council] and the [Club Management Committee] also exited the bus.

"Well, that's my cue..."

Closing the book, Erik stood up from his seat before motioning Suzune to follow behind him.

"I will be back in a minute, let's go Su-chan...."

"Hmm...."
