~CHARLES POV~
I walked through silent corridor in the Sunday morning; this section of Academy is rarely used anymore. In fact, so much that there’s been plan about purging the entire building.
But of course, considering the construction method and cost involved, purging the building is not viable solution either. The new plan would be refurbishing the section into a makeshift dorm or something.
Before that however, the Student tend to hang out here.
Well, you can say they’re involved in a fishy activity.
“KYAA!!!”
“Dear god…” I quickly looked away as I saw a pair of student kissed each other in a compromising position.
What have I done to deserve this?!
“Louise!”
“Louise! Where are you?”
“--!”
I practically somersaulting to evade a powerful kick aimed at me… barely grazed my uniform in process. You simply do not walk into this territory, especially being a guy.
“Halt there, what are you doing here?” a girl wore gray tracksuit asked, ready in a battle position, more shown up around me. There are around 5 in total.
Judging from their eyes, they’re rather hostile indeed.
“I might ask the same thing; did you saw Napoleon-senpai from Class 3-2?” I asked rather calmly “We’re supposed to have a meeting here”
“So… you’re the guy Louise-sama always been talking about huh… how despicable. Prove to us that you’re worth her attention!”
I believe from their speed and agility, they’re by no means ordinary girls. But still…
“You’re no match for me” I smirked as I grabbed her wrist, and using her on inertia and body mechanics, I practically thrown her into an unused sofa without putting any strength except into my fingers.
“Who else want to try?”
I tied my tracksuit’s upper part on my waist, leaving my body uncovered except by the tight-fitting I.S. outfit.
I pulled a boxing stance to taunt them, even though my actual fighting style is closer to that of Judo. I don’t like to hurt a girl, really. But being a Gentleman also means I have to treat the girls as they wish, they want a good fight, and I’ll be sure give them one.
Two girls charged toward me with full drive, as I counter them with a smash on the stomach each, I thought this is going to be fun…
Dozen of minutes later, it took effort for me to disable them without giving them noticeable injuries, but I managed it somehow without being touched (partly because they use I.S. outfit which reduces impact damage).
My I.S. outfit is drenched, despite its incredible capability of absorbing sweat to keep the pilot comfortable, there’s always a limit.
Well, I might just think this as a workout.
“This is disgraceful, for us to be beaten by a guy like you-”
“I wish you don’t hate me… because Louise’s friend is my friend too” Charles “or is that because you girls hate us men in particular?” I practically teased the girl I thrown into sofa by kissing her hand gently, and she melts into a pinkish puddle.
Rather than worrying about your combat ability, you should worry more about your resistance.
*CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
“O-ho-ho-ho. That’s quite a show you gave us, Honey”
“Excuse me?” I leered at the source of laugh and clap, she stood there proudly. Her light blond, curly hair was tied back into a ponytail.
On the other hand, her muscular build and extremely huge assets are way more striking than her hair…
(Okay, Charles, now you sound like a dirty old man.)
“Eyes up here”
*TAP*
I wasn’t anticipated the sudden attack and flicked on the forehead, it wasn’t painful at all, but moreover, it was very shameful.
To think that Louise can move fast and discreetly…
“My, my, Charles… Don’t tell me you’re not virgin anymore”
“Wha? Of course I am!”
“Doubt so”
I looked around as the girl dismiss themselves, only few remain around us, seems relaxed too.
“Still, it’s seem your mission went smoothly”
“I know” I nodded “That was precisely why I was sent here, after all”
To steal ByakuShiki’s data directly from Ichika using synchronization link… By posing as his friend first…
I don’t even know whether I am truly his friend or not…
All I knew is that I already betrayed his trust.
“Well, let’s proceed to the next step… while taking a little walk”
“Yes…” I nodded and followed her as she waltz deeper into the abandoned section. I can see why the girls are comfortable with it, and why they seem disturbed by my presence.
Despite being abandoned by technicality, this section seems clean enough. A good place for hanging out, true.
“Louise”
“Yes?”
“Is that true that some of them are from Student Council”
She replied with a little smirk “Not anymore”
“Why?”
“Loyalty they said, how stupid” Her expression turned sour “When I was kicked off my throne, they followed me”
To think that someone younger than her can beat Louise, Japan sure is amazing.
“Mmm… I think they just treasured you as their leader and don’t want anyone else”
“Don’t you think that’s a little selfish?” Louise sighed and waved her hand, before crossed them again “No, that’s beyond selfish, that’s irresponsible”
“It was their choice” delivering a bitter smile, I noted “You have a choice too…”
Eyes widened, she noted with a faint laugh “I guess you’re right…”
That’s why, both of us ended up as the bad guy… not that I’m not sad about it, but we won’t regret it.
"Anyway, Charles"
"What?"
"I'm a bisexual"
"Wait, didn't you said you're a-"
"Maybe" She snorted and noted how I always took everything too seriously... in my defense, she LOOKS serious when she said that.
