After the election, the director began to read out the votes of the candidates.
“Let’s begin.” He went to the box and took out a piece of paper. “X**, 200 votes.” His secretary wrote the votes on a whiteboard.
…
…
“The top four students are Fukurin and Kuroi Kage from Class B and Akamatsu and Yuu from Class X.” The audience applauded warmly for them after their names were read out.
“Then, let’s move on for the final test!” The others began to make way for them.
“The final test is… a fight match!” Yuu jumped in shock.
‘My God, you’ve got to be joking!’ Yuu thought 😨. The director walked down the stage and said, “There are many kinds of weapons here. You may choose the weapon you are most comfortable with to fight each other. As for your opponents, I will announce them.” After speaking, the four began to choose their weapons.
‘Which one should I choose?’ Yuu wondered as he stood before the weapons.
A few minutes later, they chose their weapons. Fukurin chose a sword, Kuroi Kage chose a pike, Akamatsu chose a concealed weapon while Yuu chose an iron rod.
“An iron rod?”
“No way.”
“He’ll probably be killed!”
The audience began to point at Yuu, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Now, I will announce your opponent. The first match is between Akamatsu and Kuroi Kage, and the second match is between Fukurin and Yuu.”
Yuu felt as if he had lost all spirit. He looked at Fukurin whose tall stature made him look like a giant when he stood beside him.
“Hmph, glad to receive your guidance.” Fukurin looked contemptuous.
“Oh… glad to receive your guidance…” Yuu responded politely.
“Then, let the first match begin!” The director blew a whistle.
Kuroi Kage and Akamatsu stood in the middle of the auditorium. After they got their weapons ready, they began to fight.
“Wow! “Yuu exclaimed as he watched their exciting fight from the sidelines.
Akamatsu threw a hidden weapon but Kuroi Kage blocked with his pike and returned an attack. However, Akamatsu was quick to dodge.
“I can’t lose too!” Yuu made a fist pump, then took out his cell phone and went outside.
*An hour later*
“I think I got it.” Yuu looked at his cell phone and put it back into his pocket, and realized that they hadn’t finished.
Kuroi Kage had started panting but Akamatsu still remained very strong.
“What’s the matter? Come on.” Akamatsu looked as if he wanted to torture Kuroi Kage. It made Yuu’s hair stand on end.
“Akamatsu!” Akamatsu turned around to see Yuu running towards him.
“Yuu! Yuu! Would you like to see me torture him?” He asked in a Yandere-like tone.
‘Are you a sadist?!’ Yuu couldn’t help but shout inside.
“No, thank you. By the way, could you end this quickly?”
“Sigh.” Akamatsu seemed as if he hadn’t had enough fun yet. “Alright then, since you’re so hasty to fight Fukurin.” Then, he punched Kuroi Kage in the stomach and the latter could no longer hold up, falling to the ground immediately.
“That was quick.” Yuu watched Akamatsu stroll over in an easy pace.
“Yuu, it’s your turn.” Akamatsu patted Yuu on the shoulder. Yuu gulped, trembling with fear.
Because what he was about to face was a giant as tall as a mountain.
Yuu and Fukurin stood in the middle of the auditorium and looked at each other. The way Fukurin stared at him made Yuu very uncomfortable.
“Then, here I come!” At that, Fukurin rushed at him without waiting for Yuu’s reply, sweeping across with his sword. Fortunately, Yuu responded quickly, and narrowly escaped by jumping backwards.
“Hmph, not bad! But can you dodge this?” Fukurin’s sword sliced down from above but Yuu immediately resisted his attack with his rod.
“Oh my God! Just in time!”
Yuu thought to himself, ‘I must distance myself from him.’ He used the iron rod to hold up Fukurin’s sword, and slid sideways, pulling the end of the iron rod away.
“Hmph, you actually have some skill!” Yuu remained crouched with one hand on the ground and the other holding the iron rod behind him.
“Um… it should be like this… No, it’s like this?” Yuu was mumbling to himself and doing some sort of move with his iron rod, ignoring Fukurin completely. Fukurin felt disregarded.
“Hey asshole! How dare you ignore me?!” Fukurin shouted impatiently, prompting Yuu to slowly look up at him.
“Come on! Make your move then!” Fukurin pointed his sword at Yuu’s face. Yuu felt that there was no need to waste any more time, so he began to attack Fukurin, using ordinary techniques with his rod to dodge, block and attack. His simple attacks made Fukurin impatient.
“Hey! Why are you so slow?” asked Fukurin.
“Hmm… you’re right. Mr. Fukurin, may I try something?” Yuu asked as he held onto his iron rod.
“Hmph, whatever!”
“Hehe, let’s see how you fight back!” He completely looked down upon Yuu.
Yuu picked up his iron rod, held it in both hands, moved into position, and rushed towards Fukurin. Without waiting for Fukurin’s reaction, he attacked him on the shoulder, then spun the rod and hit Fukurin in the leg, making the latter unsteady.
“Ah!” Fukurin fell to the ground. Yuu pointed the end of the rod at Fukurin’s head.
“The match is over!” The director said, “The winner is Morishita.”
The crowd couldn’t believe that someone had defeated the most ferocious person in the academy.
Yuu put the iron rod back in place and walked on stage with Akamatsu.
“Since the both of you are from the same class, we will ask Takamaru to choose one of you.” The director then invited Takamaru to the stage. Yuu had an ominous premonition.
“You.” Takamaru pointed at Yuu.
‘Sure enough😧.’ Yuu thought.
“I want you to be my servant. Actually, not so much a servant, but rather a butler.” Takamaru added.
Yuu sighed. “I refuse.”
“…” The entire auditorium fell to pin drop silence.
“Why?” asked Takamaru.
“Well, when we’re at school, I think we could be friends.” Yuu folded his arms.
“Hmm, what you said is also reasonable. What about in the dormitory?” Takamaru also folded her arms.
“When we’re in the dormitory, I guess being your butler isn’t a problem. Wait, what if we’re outside?” The two had completely forgotten about this problem.
“Well, you can be my butler when we’re outside.”
“No, no, no. I think I should be your friend.” Yuu corrected Takamaru.
“Butler.”
“Friend.”
“Butler!”
“Friend!”
The two were at loggerheads, so the director intervened to make a suggestion.
“What about… when you’re out, Takamaru will indicate if Morishita is her butler or her friend?”
“Hmm…” Takamaru and Yuu looked at each other and agreed. “That is a good proposal.”
“Then, the two have reached an agreement. The election is officially over!!” The audience applauded warmly.
From that day on, Yuu and Takamaru had upgraded to friends as well as butler and master.
“Morishita, you’re amazing!” Nishihara patted Yuu on the back. “Do you know that you defeated the fiercest person in the academy?”
The news that Yuu defeated Fukurin had spread to the entire academy.
“Ah, it’s good that you defeated him. Or else, I would have to get even with him sooner or later.” Ushi patted Yuu on the shoulder.
Everyone in class was very happy for Yuu.
“Now the others will be afraid to do anything to us!” Nishihara pumped his fist into the air.
“The Students’ Union,” said Tomoe. When Nishihara heard this, he turned stiff and knelt on the ground.
“Um… what’s that about the Students’ Union?” asked Yuu. The class looked at Yuu with a murderous expression on their faces.
