Chereads / Hail the Ant King / Chapter 14 - Public Security Commission

Chapter 14 - Public Security Commission

[tomorrow]

The newspaper were finished in time, and now they were giving them away.

Moka: We're the newspaper club. Please take a copy of the disappearing female students…

Kurumu: As well as many other happenings and news about the academy are written in it!

The students around were grabbing one newspaper after another, even if they were attracted more from Moka, Kurumu and Yukari, which made Gabriel's eye twitch, but fortunately no one was trying to make a move on Moka.

Gabriel: 'This should be the time where Mizore should come, right? Then why isn't she here?'

But since Gabriel was informed only thanks to the anime, he didn't knew that today a special guest would be present instead of Mizore. Then Gin came and asked.

Gin: How's it goin'? Are you giving out lots of copies?

Moka: Oh, Gin!

Gin looked at the group in front of them and whistled.

Gin: Ohh, looks like it's a pretty big hit, eh!? We're gonna need to start charging for these.

Moka: Ahaha, we've already passed out half of them!

Tsukune: Speaking of which, why don't you help us out?

Gin: Yeah right, don'cha know boring work like that is the job of the underlings!

Gabriel: That's a dick move, Gin…

Yukari: 'Cuz the only thing he's interested in is H stuff! Just like a stray dog during the mating season. (basically Hentai for those who don't get it)

Gin was pissed off but didn't wore off his smile and got near Yukari.

Gin: Heeey, as if a flat chested girl like you was good for anything other than bad-mouthing people!

Yukari: Hey, I'm famous for my flat-chested-ness.

Gin: Well then, how about I rub them and make them big, huh!?

Gabriel: HAAAH!! LOLICON!

Yukari: Ew, that's sexual harassment!!

Then she took out her wand and made a washtub appear over Gin, which fell in his head with a loud clank. Meanwhile, Gabriel noticed an irregularity in the group of students in front of them and raised his head to look.

There was a group of students wearing black uniforms walking towards them.

Extra: Move, you're blocking our path/ Make way!!

Tsukune: What's going on?

Gin: Oh crap, the black suits!

Extras: What are they doing here?/ It's the.../ Yokai Academy Guardians, the academy public safety commission.

Then a blonde man with black clothes came in front of them and made a small bow.

Kuyou: Salutations…! I am Kuyou, the manager of the public safety commission. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.

Gabriel was surprised from them, and frowned a bit.

Gabriel: 'Now?! Weren't they after Mizore and Rubi?! Tsk… Then I am in the manga…'

Moka: Public safety… So you're the ones maintaining the peace of the academy? What can we do for you…

Gin immediately put an arm in front of her, and got a serious face.

Moka: Gin?

Kuyou: Huhu, so you're the newspaper club. Well, your work is quite good! However! Who gave you the permission to hand out a newspaper with these contents? We don't recall having inspected this!

Gabriel: It was a teacher, is it not enough?

Gabriel was behind the table that was full of newspaper, in front of Kuyou, who raised an eyebrow.

Kuyou: Since you are new here, I will explain it for you, if we don't approve it, you can even burn this trash… Guys, destroy the stand.

Everyone with a black suit nodded and walked towards the table to destroy, but Gabriel jumped over the table and stood in front of them with a frown.

But before he could talk, an hand got over his shoulder, and Gabriel turned to see Gin with a sad face and shaking his head, Gabriel sighed and said.

Gabriel: Alright, you can do it…

Moka: Gabriel…

Then Gabriel got away and let the people with the black suit do their work, meanwhile, the group left, some people looked back while the others just walked with a frown. When they were far enough, Gabriel said.

Gabriel: Alright, Gin, start talking.

Gin: *Sigh* ...Those guys are the public safety commission. To put it simply, they're like a more aggressive version of the student police. In order to protect the peace of this academy, a militant group was established in order to control evil by force.

They're the academy guardians, the public safety commission. They were organized by students and are often called the academy police!

Gabriel: 'Were'? And now?

Gin: They barely ever actually do anything. They've become corrupt. Today they're just a yakuza gang, making their force do the talking while they collect money and tributes.

They said that if we're going to hand out the paper we have to get their permission, right? That means they were truly asking us to pay them off.

Gabriel: Tsk… Scum up to the marrow… I might as well take them down one after another… Starting from the girl spying on us…

Gabriel turned in a certain direction, and seen a girl who panicked and ran away before the others could see her too.

Gin: No, please… Don't do it… Just, let's just burn all the newspapers to show them that we're not going to stand up against them, that's the only way to appeal to them.

Yukari: Whaaaat!? Burn all our newspapers!? But there's a bunch of them we've already handed out.

Gin: I don't care, just burn them all! Nothing's gonna come from picking a fight with those guys. It's best if you don't get involved in old fights.

Gabriel: Well, those are your orders, but we are going to talk about this later…

Gin nodded and left them, meanwhile Gabriel took another way and left, but before he was stopped, he disappeared with a strong jump, and turned in his true form, then he followed the girl that was spying on them.

[Meanwhile]

Kurumu, Moka, Tsukune and Yukari were sitting in a table, and talking about the current situation.

Kurumu: What a loser! Gin isn't even thinking like a man!! And why Gabriel is even obeying him? Isn't he a King Class monster?!

Moka: Well, I think I get why Gabriel would follow his orders… Gabriel was pretty smart, not too much, but I think he is planning something…

Kurumu: I really hope so! Since Gin doesn't want to do it, I'll just pass out the rest of the newspaper myself! We don't have to burn them like senpai says!

Moka: Kurumu… But wait, Kurumu, Gin probably had his own good reasons for this…

Kurumu: No way! That guy's head is just overloaded with perverted thoughts.

Moka: Wait! Just calm down a little and-

She was interrupted when Kurumu hugged Tsukune and said.

Kurumu: Come on! Fine, then I won't ask you Moka! Let's go Tsukune.

Tsukune: Uh, heeey Kurumu!

Then Kurumu dragged behind Tsukune and the box with the newspaper

Kurumu: Tsukune, even if it's just us, let's do our best to hand out the newspaper, ok?

Tsukune just sweatdropped.

[Meanwhile]

Gabriel followed the girl the entire time, until she was waiting over a branch of a big tree, and under her, there was Kurumu with the box with the newspaper and Tsukune.

Kurumu: But these newspaper… They're like a treasure to me. I made these with you and Moka and everyone… It's the first thing I've ever made by cooperating with other people…!

Gabriel smiled at these words, everytime he watched a really good anime, he would ask himself: 'What would happen if I go there?', or 'I wish I could go there'.

And now he even had the power to do it… He would not let the newspapers being burned…

Kurumu: And to have it trampled underfoot for no good reason, I can't back down like this! I can never forgive those public safety people!

Then the girl that Gabriel was stalking shot out a web from her mouth, and took away the box from Kurumu's hands, who looked up with surprise and found a girl with a box.

Keito: Heh… Don't make me laugh. You really are too stupid!

Kurumu: Ah.... You!!

Then Kurumu and Tsukune noticed Gabriel in his true form too, but he put a finger in his mouth to tell them to not say anything.

Kurumu and Tsukune looked serious, and didn't nodded to not make Keito suspicious.

Keito: It appears you have no interest in being a good student and obeying us… Foolish Newspaper Club! As I thought, I should crush you once and for all right here!

Then Keito slowly descended with her web and the box in her other arm. Meanwhile, Gabriel silently fell over the furnace, without her noticing, and Kurumu and Tsukune started acting.

Kurumu: What… Give us back our newspapers!

Tsukune: Wait, please! Why are you going so far to look at us as your enemies. We didn't do anything…

Keito: It's too late to say that now… Or perhaps you don't know? We've been looking at the Newspaper Club since last year and long before. As a group threatening the public safety commission.

The Newspaper Club last year was full of a bunch of fools who had delusions that they could change the academy by themselves. And so for whatever reason, they used their published articles as a means to criticize us. that's why we purged the members of the club and drove it to the brink of folding!

Tsukune: Senpai had that kind of past!? Then why did he do that…

Keito: This academy is a hodgepodge of monsters and it only remains safe because it is under the control of the public safety commission! The Newspaper Club which doesn't even understand that and opposes us deserves to be destroyed!

Tsukune: Please wait, we have absolutely no intention of fighting you! And yet aren't you the only ones trying to attack right now!? We'd be fine if we could just complete our club activities like normal. I'm pleading with you, please just leave the Newspaper Club alone!

Keito's eye twitched and slowly said.

Keito: ...Leave you… Alone…?

Then she slipped the box in the furnace, but Gabriel secretly took the box before it could hit the flames, to Kurumu and Tsukune's pleasure.

Keito: Watch your mouth! Who do you think you're talking to you little brats!!

Gabriel: To a little bitch.

Keito: Huh?

She turned but she didn't seen nothing behind her, then she felt something over her shoulder, Gabriel jumped over her shoulders, and pushed her in the furnace with his feet and jumped towards Tsukune and Kurumu while taking the box with the newspaper with him.

Keito fell in the furnace and started burning while screaming, meanwhile Tsukune and Kurumu couldn't watch it because Gabriel jumped right in front of them, and distracted them.

Gabriel: Yo! Here's the box.

Tsukune took the box and both him and Kurumu smiled.

Tsukune/Kurumu: Thank you, Gabriel.

Gabriel smiled and slowly turned in his human form.

Gabriel: It's nothing, let's go back…

They nodded and followed Gabriel.

[Meanwhile]

In a dark room…

Kuyou: You said… Keito disappeared? She's burned? Tsk… That damn Newspaper Club! Do they truly intend to fight with us? They couldn't possibly have forgotten what happened to them last year.

Then so be it, if they are that foolish then we will put an end to them right here and now!!! I'll destroy them with my own hands… I'll just give them the fault for Keito and the other 4 male students' death…

[Omake]

Gabriel, Moka, Tsukune, Kurumu and Yukari were in a white room, looking at a random direction with a smile. Then from that direction, a guy in a black robe, completely covered from head to toes, appeared.

Author: Hello guys!!

Everyone: Hello Author!!

Author: Welcome to my realm, there are some things that I wanted to know… First of all, Gabriel, how do you feel about your height and Yukari's height?

Gabriel: That's a stupid question, I hate being so short when I was literally 6 inches higher before I entered Meruem's body!

Moka: Who's Meruem?

Author: Oh right, you don't know…

Author snapped his fingers and a clone of Gabriel's true form appeared and looked around before setting his gaze to the group of 5 people and Author.

Moka: ...Gabriel?

Meruem: ...Who's Gabriel?

Gabriel raised his hand, and Meruem used his Nen to intimidate him, but he countered him with the same amount and type, surprising him, before he had a serious expression.

Meruem: Who are you?

Gabriel: I am the one who entered your body when you died.

Meruem relaxed his body and sighed, Gabriel smiled a bit and both of them vanished, before reappearing between the Author and the other 4 people with their right fist that clashed against each other, Gabriel was in his true form.

The scene was similar to the one of a mirror, both Gabriel and Meruem were in the same stance, Meruem tried to knee him in the stomach, but he didn't expected that Gabriel's stinger would hit him, but he still used his other hand to block the hit, then he backed away.

Gabriel jumped towards Meruem and drop kicked him, Meruem blocked the hit with both his arms, but Gabriel swinged his other leg upwards and was able to block Meruem's arms by grabbing them with his legs.

Then Gabriel fell down and used his hands and stinger to anchor himself in the ground, then he lifted Meruem with his legs and slammed him in the ground at Gabriel's other side.

Gabriel: You may be the original one, but you lack experience, you are literally an infant compared to me, so what if you can interrupt the rhythm of someone? If I beat you fast enough then you will lose, brat.

Meruem: Well, this should be expected from the one who possess my body, a human's mind with a infinite potential in a body at the endpoint of the evolution, I may be prideful, but I admit that you already surpassed me since you are able to use my body at 100%...

Moka: Wait a second, does it mean that Gabriel was once a human?

Gabriel: Eeeyup!

Moka: This… Is unexpected…

Author: Alright, now let's stop and goodbye!

Tsukune: Hey, wai-

*Pop*

Then everyone disappeared, except for Author, who took out a book with a strange title.

"Gabriel's life"

Author: *Sigh* Let's stop this for now… I need to sleep…
