School Life Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 - Moe Moe is a Battlefield

The following Monday, as usual, Rinka gave a horrible wake-up “gunshot” to Hiraki, and he almost died. Following that, the boys in their class were on the “hunt” for him -- he was the first one to take Rie out on a date! Thankfully, Rinka kept them out using her shotgun. Kishi and Naruko were pressing Hiraki for Mission #3.

“Look, someone from other factions need to challenge us to a game first,” He said, shrugging. “But the good news is, we’ve risen to 14th!”

“Really?!” Rinka jumped up and down in excitement, punching fists in the air.

“I believe that you’re celebrating too early, desu,” A cold, hard voice came from behind. It was even colder than Naruko’s.

The four of them turned their heads to the direction of the voice, only to find a petite, little girl at their same age with green cat-like ears and a bushy tail.

“CUTEEE!!!!!!” Hiraki shrieked, getting more and more excited with every second. He knelled down in front of her and asked gentlemanly, “May I ask for your hand, young--”

“Go die!!” Kishi kicked him with full strength and flung him out of the corridor windows, while Rinka was frozen like a statue. Naruko was indifferent; she was scrolling the list of factions on her smartphone.

“You must be Midorikawa Akuro.”

[Midorikawa Akuro - the girl who is next-in-line to be the leader of the Warbeast faction. She is petite and cute. Also, her cat ears and tails are only visible to insiders. Born on May 27, her sign is Gemini. Faction: Warbeast]

“Yes, and I’ve come to tell you all worthless students from Imanity that Warbeast is declaring war on you,” Akuro’s heartless words broke the hearts of Rinka, Hiraki, Kishi and Naruko.

/Choose./

/Option 1: Lift her skirt up./
/Option 2: Tell her, “Would you like to bang me tonight?”/

WHY THESE?! So absurd!! Looks like I’ll have to bet that Midorikawa knows nothing about those dirty terms. Here I go--

“Hey, Midorikawa,” Hiraki gestured to her, “Would you like to bang me tonight?”

A silence befell the whole scene was the tension rose till it was so thick, you could cut it with a sword.

“ARGH!” He shrieked in terror before being backflipped by Akuro, landing flat onto the ground with a pale face.

“Damn, her personality...” Rinka muttered in annoyance to Akuro. But she’s strong, despite her size.

“Please say more of those torturing words~” Hiraki was totally in his own world, until a violent vibration from his phone shook him awake.

Good luck!

“I see,” Kishi said, after inspecting the mail. “So now we’re being challenged. Furthermore, it’s from the Warbeast.” She smirked.

“But Kishi-nee. The problem is.. Look...” Naruko gestured for them to her smartphone’s screen. On it, it said that the Warbeasts have a “sixth sense” and they are telepathic.

“Moreover, memories of the game are always erased,” Hiraki added a clue. “So no one, except for the Warbeast authorities, knows the contents of the games. It’s dangerous if we don’t know the game..”

“But it’s not if we deduce the game, right?” Rinka said, giving a cool pose. “If they can’t reveal anything... Is it like some high-tech stuff like in the sci-fi movies?”

Just then, Kishi headed towards the library. “What are you all waiting for? Let’s head to our library!”

The others nodded in agreement, then tagged along with her.

Not long after, Hiraki’s phone rang shrilly. “You guys go on first, I’ll catch up with you.”

He tapped the screen to receive the phone call. On the other side came a dominating-like female voice, “Ekiguchi Hiraki-kun, I assume?”

“Yes. Who are you?” He replied tactfully, for this is a voice that seemed quite suspicious.

“This is the Student Council President, Akari Sen. I’d like you to come to the Student Council Room now.”

“Yes, sure.”

Beep... Beep.. Hiraki closed his phone, then proceeded to his destination. Akari Sen, huh... Come to think of it, she’s quite mysterious.

[Akari Sen -- she’s the Student Council President of Kaisou High. The only second-year which has risen to become a member of the Student Council. No one knows much about her; however she always gets 1st in everything, thus everyone speculates that she’s in the 1st ranked faction. Still, there are many doubts. Born on Apr 19, her sign is Aries. Faction: Unknown]

Hiraki knocked on the door leading to the Student Council Room before going in, only to find a short girl(not as short as Akuro) sitting half cross-legged on her table. She had long, dark red hair that was almost as long as Rinka’s. Also, her hair was tied in twintails adorned with yellow ribbons, but each twintail was in a different length. He arched his eyebrows at the sight of the appearance.

“Must be surprised, huh?” Sen said with a seemingly evil grin, caressing her hair. “Don’t mind it. Anyway, here’s a ‘trophy’ for Imanity.” She held a transparent crystal chess piece in her hands -- the King.

It glimmered and shimmered in the light that shone through it -- yes, hauntingly beautiful. Hiraki got hold of it gingerly.

“Uhmm, may I ask what is this, Akari-san?” He asked, still staring at the chess piece.

“This,” She explained, “is your-- no, Imanity’s chess piece. Seeing that Imanity has done great work to rise up in the ranks, you’re awarded this. Also, Imanity is the only race which hasn’t earned it.”

Wow, what cruel comments, he thought to himself.

“But,” With a greater note of warning, she cautioned, “Should it fall into other faction leaders’ hands due to your loss in games, all of Imanity students’ existence will be erased completely from the face of Earth. Including you.” She pointed to Hiraki.

“Y-Yes, we’ll take great care of it,” Hiraki assured, then inquired, “But why did you ask to see me? Isn’t Rinka the leader, and not me?”

“Confidential. You’re dismissed now.”

“Oh, okay...”

Hiraki carried the chess piece in his hands, walking out of the room and closing the door. He stared at it intently.

I mustn’t lose this. But it’s so big, how am I supposed to keep it?

As if the chess piece was telepathic, it immediately transformed itself to become a small, petite keychain that could be latched onto his schoolbag!

“Wow! Now it looks like a ordinary keychain; no one can find out,” He smiled gleefully to himself. I must catch up with Rinka and the others now!

Meanwhile...

“Now... Let’s see some good show,” the ‘God’ cackled.
