“Please! Give me another chance!!”
“Hn? What’s this commotion…?”
After leaving his friends to rush towards the combat miko and their fathers, who were already doing a tour of the school, Yuugo grimaced as he heard a voice he recognized.
He went in its direction, and saw Ramy yelling at the people he was looking for.
“Calm down, Miss Nira. This is not the place for…”
“Please, just one more chance! I have reflected on my blunders and will do everything perfectly going forward! So please…!!”
She ignored Uno as he tried to stop her, and continued pleading to the fathers of the combat miko.
Yuugo approached them, thinking she looked like an evil female executive pleading to the big boss as she was about to be executed, and Sakura and the others called out to him once they saw him.
“Mister Yuugo! I apologize for my father’s indiscretion…!!”
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it. What’s going on?”
Yuugo had a pretty good idea already, but still asked for an explanation.
Wasn’t Ramy recovering in the hospital, he thought as he tilted his head, and Setsuna explained.
“Apparently she got out of the hospital. She suddenly appeared in front of us and got like that.”
“I’m sure she panicked because the role of liaison between Yamato and the academy went to Mister Castle.”
“Ah, I see…”
Yuugo nodded, fully understanding now.
It all started with the monster rampaging during the selection test, she recommended the hero prospects that caused all sorts of trouble, her imprudent actions invited problems with the Friends of the Night Society, and finally, she fell in line with Koumaru’s plan during her transportation duty. Surely she was feeling uneasy, as it was blunder after blunder.
In the end, she was relieved of her duties relating to Yamato, and her former post was given to who she saw as a rival, Uno. There was no way she could rest easy.
But acting like this was only an inconvenience to the fathers and the academy.
“Stop already! You are bothering them!!”
“Please just listen to me! Please, please…!!”
“Ahh… All right, I’ll help Mister Castle too.”
Yuugo could only see it getting worse, and Uno did not know what to do.
He was stepping up to do something about Ramy, as if representing the students, but some very troublesome people came along to complicate things even more.
“Miss Ramy is right. Please listen to us.”
“Mu!? You…!”
They were not there to stop Ramy, but rather, support her, and Uno turned to them.
He saw hero prospects like Shian approaching as a flock, and Motonari asked a question.
“Who are you? If your business isn’t urgent, I would appreciate it if you left.”
“We are the students recommended by Miss Nira, who were deemed worthy of standing alongside your daughters. I know this is rude, but please listen to us.”
“Worthy of standing alongside our daughters? You?”
Tadakatsu grabbed his chin with a quizzical expression as he looked at Shian, who stood in his way.
Shian decided he was the one most likely to listen, and jumped in.
“It’s true that we were one step behind in various incidents, but that was not because we weren’t strong enough. If we could show off our true power, I’m sure you would all accept us!”
“Feir! Do you know who you’re talking to and what you’re saying!? Stand back! The rest of you too!”
Uno was beyond surprised and angry that they were complicating this situation even more, and he spoke to Shian and the others with an exasperated tone.
Sakura and Setsuna spoke to their fathers, figuring they should help him.
“Father, please don’t get any ideas. If you keep doing what you did when you challenged Mister Yuugo to test his strength, you are going to damage the reputation of the Amamiya family.”
“I don’t think we need to listen any more. It’s a waste of time.”
“…You heard them. What do you have to say?”
“I apologize for saying this, but they have misjudged our true power! It’s not just fighting ability! We have commanding ability, the power to make decisions in the moment, among many other things!”
“…From what I can tell in this situation, you don’t seem like the kind of people that make good decisions.”
Said Motonari as he lifted the bridge of his glasses.
Shian’s face turned red, and Raiha, who stood next to Ujiyasu, spoke quietly as her eyes opened wide.
“Ah…!?”
“…!!”
The reincarnated students realized she was looking in their direction, and mistakenly assumed she was looking at them.
It could only be said they were thinking in a way that was convenient to them, as the idea that they were special due to their main character compensation lingered in their minds.
If they spoke to her here, got her father to recognize them, and got loong materials, it would all turn around.
They painted this impossible dream in their heads as they tried to get in front of the others and face Raiha… but they heard a low voice behind them.
“…Out of the way.”
“Ah? Who do you think…!?”
Shian heard a voice full of contempt, and turned around to protest it.
But… the moment he saw who spoke, his body trembled and became immobile.
“…I warned you before, but did you forget? I’ll say it again.”
Footsteps echoed as this person drew closer, and the reincarnated students felt the pressure and moved left and right to open a path.
The exception was Shian, who was frozen in place as the person he wanted to see the least spoke to him with quiet anger.
“…Don’t ask me questions.”
