"LETS GO LADIES, HUSTLE UP!" Alex called out to the last few girls that hadn't joined them yet after changing, even as the rest of his current class already began their stretches.
"Sorry teacher..." One of the girls mumbled as she quickly joined the rest of the class, her ears slightly red from embarrassment at being one of the laggers. This made both Kurumu and Moka roll their eyes while someone else towards the edge of the group glared at the girl pointedly, until Alex gave all three his own look, making them return to their stretches.
One thing that had become increasingly apparent to them as the school year continued, was the growing number of girls that seemed to have taken an interest in Alex as the rumors about him spread. Firstly he was known for forcing back Saizou when he tried to make unwanted moves against Moka, then there was the exposure of Nagare's schemes to blackmail any woman who caught his fancy, and then finally there was getting Okuto fired for trying to attack a female student. Each one of these people had numerous female victims of their assaults, both within Youkai Academy and the human world, and each and every one of them were incredibly grateful towards Alex for exposing them. Then there were the girls who heard about his actions and couldn't help mentally comparing him to the boys in their classes, who were undergoing puberty and were overly aware of the girls around them. Compared to them Alex who always kept his cool and gave off a reliable atmosphere, along with his wildish looks and impressive strength, was much more desirable, while his 'Seduction' skill didn't help matters. Of course Moka and Kurumu made sure to report this to the others in Asora, but, since Alex wasn't acting on their feelings, they let it go and decided to trust him not to accept every girl that fluttered her eyes at him into his ever expanding harem. Alex's attention was then grabbed by the last two girls to arrive from the locker rooms, as one angrily stormed over with her friend desperately trying to keep up. Before he could think too much about what they were doing, the angry girl reached him and thrust out a slip of paper while angrily stating,
"Teacher you need to see this!" Alex cocked an eyebrow at her demanding tone, but when he saw what was on the paper his other eyebrow joined it in surprise. The paper was actually a photograph, but it was a picture of the other girl as she was changing in the locker rooms, in nothing but her green panties with flowers on them, with even her breasts fully visible. Alex couldn't help but glance back to the girl after seeing the picture, making her entire face turn Crimson as she fidgeted in place and muttered, "U-um... I-I..." Her stuttering continued until Alex asked,
"So is this supposed to be like a new form of love letter or something?" Though he could easily guess the picture was actually a peep shot, he was playing dumb since no one said why exactly he needed to see it, and his question wasn't entirely out there since he had received several letters of confession recently, and it was quite strange for a girl to hand a nude picture of themselves to a male, their teacher no less. Though his guess was obviously wrong, the girl herself was one of the ones to have developed a bit of a crush on him, hence why she wasn't too upset about him seeing the picture, and her face turned even redder as her brain seemed to overheat. She was spared trying to answer however when her friend irritably said,
"Of course not, it's a peep shot! We found it on the floor of the girls locker room while we were changing, which means some creep is taking pictures of us!" As she wasn't keeping her voice down at all, every girl in the class suddenly looked up at her declaration with terror on their face of the thought of pictures being taken of them as well; while the boys couldn't help but look directly at the picture in Alex's hand, each one desperately trying to see what was on it even though it was too far, and purposely being held to keep them from seeing it. Alex then said,
"Ok I'll take care of this. Go back to the locker room and make sure nobody's in there while I get the class started." The angry girl snorted and demanded,
"And why would I do that? The peeper wouldn't be in there now would he?!" Alex fought the urge to roll his eyes as he explained,
"Most likely not, but I doubt he himself was present when these pictures were taken, instead he probably left the camera behind and got it back later. If this picture was accidentally left behind then maybe the camera is in the locker room now." When she heard his explanation the angry girls face suddenly changed, before she immediately turned around and raced back towards the locker room, her friend desperately trying to keep up behind her. Alex shook his head slightly before turning back towards the class, but while he did so he briefly glanced back at the nude photo still in his hand, before there was suddenly an intense pinch on both of his sides and Moka muttered,
"Are you having fun looking at her breasts?" Alex did roll his eyes this time as he set the picture aflame and said,
"You know, I rarely call a girl ugly, yet when they wear jealousy like that it's kind of hard not to..." This made both Kurumu and Moka stutter as they tried to respond to Alex's words, before he lightly slapped them on their butts to send them back to their warm ups. Shaking his head slightly, Alex explained to the class what they would be doing that day since he would be investigating the peeping issue, before setting them to start running their laps while he waited for the two girls to return. He then went to his water bottle to take a drink, only for no water to come out even it was still heavy. While mildly confused, Alex unscrewed the top off and turned his bottle upside down only for a chunk of ice to land in his hands below. Smiling wryly, Alex dumped the ice back into the bottle before using magic to melt it just to the point where he could drink it, before making eye contact with a certain purple haired girl running with everyone as he took a drink of his water. The girl looked away somewhat shyly as she realized Alex knew she froze his drink in response to him seeing that one girls picture, but she was happy that rather than getting mad or berating her, he simply played along with a wry smile.
"Alright, there's no one there now." The angry girl from before suddenly said, taking Alex's attention away from Mizore as he followed them to the locker room. When they arrived Alex went to enter the forbidden area while the two followed behind, before the shy girl said,
"W-we checked around a bit ourselves, but didn't find any camera..." Alex nodded and stated,
"Don't worry I have a certain ability that'll help us find it, and hopefully the camera will point us to whoever the culprit is." Though he said that Alex already had a pretty good idea who was behind the peeping photos, a figure that was relatively infamous in the Rosario+Vampire series for being an incurable pervert, who Alex already had a few problematic run-ins with, Ginei Morioka.
Ginei was the only other male "character" that was around consistently throughout the journey of the original "protagonist" Tskune; a werewolf that was president of the Newspaper club, known for trying to feel up, peep, photograph, or would outright molest any girl that caught his fancy, though the one who caught his attention the most was of course Moka. Alex had tried to give Ginei a bit of leeway considering the role he played in the original timeline, teaching both Kurumu and Mizore both how to fight, as well as constantly lending his speed and fighting capabilities to his fellow Newspaper club members when they needed it. As one of the very few individuals in the school who could match Ginei's speed, Alex had already caught and warned him twice about what would happen if he continued his habits, and if he was behind this as well, then he would finally see the reality of the threats Alex promised him.
With this in mind Alex spread out his awareness as his 'Domain' encompassed the entire room, instead of just being restricted to cover his body like usual whenever he was in the school. After the previous mishap when he accidentally spied on the girls living in the female dorms, Alex had been increasingly restricting his domain due to various other mishaps when he was walking around the school; such as when he accidentally saw the interior of a girls bathroom and the women inside during a very vulnerable moment, or when he walked past the locker room for the swim team and got an "eyeful" of the girls showering, or when he caught a third year couple after they snuck off to a sports shed for some privacy. As he recalled the previous incidents Alex couldn't help internally remark, 'I certainly seem to have been experiencing an increase in lucky pervert moments lately haven't I?' As he thought this Ddraig chuckled while Lauren sighed in exasperation, before he started searching seriously for the potential camera.
"Found it." Alex said suddenly, startling the two girls with him as he made his way to a sports bag that had been left on the floor, and opened it to reveal a camera that had expertly tucked within the dirty laundry stored within it. "Haaa...." Alex sighed when he read the label on the side of the camera that stated, YOUKAI ACADEMY NEWSPAPER CLUB.
"What idiot uses a camera with a label that can be used to go right to him?!" The angry girl demanded, before Alex suggested,
"Maybe he didn't count on it being found since it was tucked within so much dirty laundry, I mean who in their right mind would dig through all of this just because it's sitting here, unless they were looking for something specific to begin with?" The girl and her friend were silent for a second before she hesitantly asked,
"S-so do you know who's camera this is?" Alex nodded somewhat sadly and said,
"It belongs to the only remaining member of the newspaper club, who I've already had to speak to a couple times about this sort of thing. You two go back to class, I'll go deal with the rest of this situation." Though the angry girl wanted to argue since it was her friend that was the victim here, the shy girl pulled on her friends sleeve until she finally relented and left to rejoin the class. After sighing once more, Alex expanded his 'Domain' once again until he found Ginei, and used Spatial magic to teleport right outside of his classroom. Alex then knocked on the door before opening and asking, "Is Ginei Morioka here?" The teacher of the class, a wizened old man, as well as the students all looked up at him suddenly in surprise, before the teacher asked,
"He is, but what do you need him for teacher Alex?" Alex held up the camera and said,
"This Newspaper club property was just found inside the girls locker room, and I already checked the contents and found it full of peeping photos of dozens of female students. I've already had several problems regarding Mr. Morioka peeping on the female students, and I have to draw the line with him collecting such private photos of his classmates and other innocent women, as if they somehow spread it could ruin the lives of those in the photos." As he spoke the teacher as well as several female students turned towards a certain individual sitting in the back of the class, a "cool" looking boy who wore a headband to pull his hair back, and a silver wolf pendant around his neck. His eyes widened in mock surprise as he stated,
"Teacher Alex I'm obviously being framed! I mean what kind of person uses evidence that will definitely lead back to them?" Alex fought the urge to roll his eyes, as he instead ejected the SD card of the camera and said,
"So you won't mind if I destroy all of the peeping photos here and now?" In the microsecond that it took for Alex to start putting enough strength into his fingers to do exactly as he threatened, Ginei was already moving as he quickly dashed across the classroom while leaving behind an after image at his desk, though Alex quickly crushed the SD card in his fingers before Ginei could get it. He then reacted to Ginei's sudden action by redirecting his outstretched hand and reaching down to grab one of his ankles, resulting in Ginei being dangled by said ankle in front of the class while Alex stated exasperatedly,
"Really? You're that desperate for mere pictures of naked girls?" Ginei chuckled awkwardly while Alex rolled his eyes, as he knew that if it wasn't for Ginei's overly perverted attitude he'd be able to lead several girls by their noses and possibly even form his own harem, as indicated by his numerous ex-girlfriends. Though the main reason he hadn't done so was due to the fact that his heart had already settled on someone, that didn't excuse his current behavior in the slightest.
Though he struggled to escape Alex's vice-like grip on his ankle, all Ginei managed to do was dislodge the dozens of pictures he had on himself, causing them to flutter around the front of the classroom as he froze in horror. This caused everyone to stare in shock for a brief second, as even the elderly history teacher looked as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head from the image that landed in front of him, depicting the prim and proper female class president sitting not even three feet away from him, while she was using a shower head to pleasure herself. After a brief second of pure silence, hell broke loose as everyone in the class made a mad dash for the photographs, the boys wanting to get their hands on one depicting a girl they like, or one with a girl that was popular in general; while the girls were working together, with half of them working to form a wall to keep the boys back, while the other half were busy trying to collect the photos. Before anyone could grab them though, Alex simply stretched out his hand and used his 'Domain' to make each of the photos fly into it, until they were all stacked in a neat pile on his palm. Then, with everyone watching, Alex set the pile on fire without even giving it a single glance, much to the girls relief and the boys horror.
"W-why?...." Ginei whimpered as his beloved collection turned to ash right in front of him, making Alex roll his eyes once more before turning and leaving the silent classroom. Then, ignoring Ginei's continued demands to be let down as Alex continued dangling him by his ankle, Alex created a misty portal to Asora before throwing the struggling werewolf through it, and saying,
"You brought this upon yourself, I gave you several chances, more than I usually give people, and you threw it back in my face. Enjoy your new home." With that Alex closed the portal and left Ginei on a certain island for maidens, before he suddenly had the thought, 'I wonder what a werewolf magical girl will be like?' A shudder ran through him at the thought, but Alex quickly ignored it as he returned to his class.
After Alex dealt with Ginei, rumors spread through the school like wildfire regarding the peeping photos, as well as the fact that Alex effortlessly defeated the 'Mad Dog' Ginei Morioka. This earned him the attention of both the boys and girls, as the girls learned that he had stood up for them yet again, while the boys were torn between hating and being jealous of him, while also admiring and respecting him for being a "real man". This had also earned him the attention of numerous troublesome individuals in the school, mostly the ones that sought to grow stronger and now saw him as a formidable opponent, but there were some others who were now turning their gaze towards him.
"President Kuyou, I've been hearing some troubling rumors." A woman named Keito said as she kneeled respectfully before the sharp looking figure before her. The man briefly looked at her with narrowed eyes, before saying,
"Speak Keito." The woman bowed her head respectfully once more before saying,
"I'm sure you've heard of the new gym teacher, the one called Alex." Kuyou nodded as, even though he rarely attended classes anymore, he was well aware of most of the going ons in the academy. Keito then continued, "As I'm sure you're aware, he took the position of gym teacher when he was just a mere assistant, after revealing that the previous gym teacher was abusing his authority to have his way with any girls that caught his fancy. However he had also fought with a troublesome student on the first day, and dealt with another student the day afterwards. And now today he has even exposed and disciplined Ginei Morioka as a pervert, who would habitually peep on and take photos of the girls in the academy." At the mention of Ginei, Kuyou chuckled lightly and said,
"So that newspaper club trash was finally dealt with? And we didn't even have to lift a hand to get rid of him! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" As Kuyou started laughing at Ginei's fate, Keito grimaced as she hesitantly said,
"But sir, now people are spreading rumors about how useless the Public Safety Commission is, and are even starting to bad mouth us...." In an instant Kuyou's laughter ceased, as he demanded angrily,
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?" Keito grimaced again as a cold sweat started flowing down her back, even as flames erupted around her.
"I-I didn't say anything! I was just reporting what I've been hearing some of the students say!" Even as she tried to reassure Kuyou, the flames in the room grew in size and intensity as he declared,
"It appears we have to teach them, and this new teacher, WHO exactly is in charge of this academy!"
***
The next morning a certain man dressed in a sharp suit made his way purposely down the street, greeting the people he saw on his way good-naturedly.
"Good morning Mr. Tatsuya, you seem to be in a good mood today." The man, Mr. Tatsuya, nodded at the older looking woman who was preparing the front of her store and replied,
"Of course, I got a call last night and two new prospects want to join us." Even as he smiled and happily responded to the woman though, inside he was mentally sneering, 'Stupid bag of bones. Stop wasting my time already!' Despite thinking this he never let it show on his face, as the woman looked excited and said,
"Is that so? Then maybe we'll see them on the television soon? I bet you're excited for all the money you're company will be making off of them soon, am I right?" Even as his irritation grew Mr. Tatsuya never let it show as he said,
"Of course, bringing in more money is always pleasant. But I am meeting them soon so I must get going." After saying his goodbyes Mr. Tatsuya continued on his way while thinking, 'I'm so rich now why would I care about money? I want the other "perks".' With all sorts of ideas running through his head, Mr. Tatsuya quickened his step as he hurried to one of the surrounding skyscrapers, and was immediately greeted inside by a sexy looking woman in a suit.
"Good morning Mr. Tatsuya! I have your coffee right here for you, and your 9:00 is already waiting for you." Mr. Tatsuya, the acting president of one of the largest entertainment companies in Japan, Rising Star Entertainment, nodded and said,
"Good, I'll meet with them immediately and hopefully they'll be good enough to sign a deal with, God knows we need new talent." His assistant tried to agree with him, but was interrupted when he got onto a waiting elevator. As the doors started closing she called out,
"Um, I was wondering if I can "talk" to you after the meeting about a possible raise, Mr. Tatsuya. I mean it has been quite a while." Though he knew what she really meant by "talking", Mr. Tatsuya wasn't interested in her offer in the slightest, yet he didn't let his disinterest show on his face as he simply replied right as the doors closed,
"Not today, maybe later." With the elevator doors closing in her face, the assistant was forced to give up her attempt at getting a raise, though part of her was also secretly relieved. Meanwhile in the elevator, the acting president was muttering to himself, "Not today you flabby old hag." Though many men would consider his assistant a prime target, as far as he was concerned she was already past her expiration date even though she was only thirty, and made a mental note to start looking for a new assistant. As the elevator reached its destination on one of the highest floors of the building, Mr. Tatsuya stepped off and made his way towards his office, where he stalled slightly as he saw the trio of beauties waiting for him. The oldest one, a busty silver hired foreigner, stood immediately and said while holding out her hand,
"Good morning, Mr. Tatsuya I presume? I'm Rosswiese, and this is Liliana and Ingvild, who are interested in potentially becoming idols." Though he recognized her voice from when they spoke on the phone the day before, the president was amazed at how beautiful the manager of these two girls was, and his heart thundered in his chest with excitement of what was to come.
"Good morning Ms. Rosswiese, and to you as well miss Liliana and miss Ingvild. If you'll follow me, we'll step inside my office and begin our meeting." The three beautiful girls politely thanked him as they filed into his office while he held the door open for them, meaning they all had their backs turned when he closed the door, and swiftly locked it with a practiced movement. He then took his seat behind his desk while the three girls sat in the provided chairs in front of it, before he started,
"First of all, I have to say the stuff you sent last night Rosswiese was amazing. If these recordings you sent me are genuine, then with your looks you two will be the next biggest thing in the country, no, the world! Now, both of you are sixteen correct? We will need parental or guardian approval before we begin talking terms." Both girls nodded to confirm their ages(as Liliana had spent quite a bit of time within the space-time orb by this point, and Ingvild had used magic to lower her apparent age since she was really almost twenty), while Rosswiese said,
"They have no parents sadly, and so I'll be acting as their guardian." With his excitement growing at the knowledge of neither girl having parents, something that could be spun to increase popularity from sympathy, the president then began a serious discussion as they started talking scheduling for practice, outfits, their debut, and nicknames before he finally pulled out a pair of contracts and placed them before the girls.
"These are your contracts stating that you'll be with us for the next three years, and, depending on your success, it may be possible to extend it when the time comes." Mr. Tatsuya was then surprised when, instead of Rosswiese going over the contracts for them, the two girls then picked up and started reading it themselves as if experienced in these matters. After a few minutes they put the contracts down and looked as if they were thinking about the terms, during which Mr. Tatsuya stood up and walked around to the other side of his desk and handed them each a pen before sitting on its edge and saying,
"I know it's a lot to consider, but I hope you'll make the right choice. Even though being an idol requires a lot of hard work, and sacrifice, the rewards more than make up for it." As he was speaking, when he reached the part about sacrifice, Mr. Tatsuya reached out and placed his hands on both of the girls thighs in what might have been a gesture of encouragement, if his hands hadn't started moving back and forth as they slowly traveled up the girls legs. His intentions and what he really meant by "sacrifice" were made crystal clear to the girls at this point, making both of them shudder slightly at his touch; something that made Mr. Tatsuya's smile widen as he focused on the valley visible in the opening of Ingvild's shirt, a bulge starting to form in his pants at the sight. He was so focused on the two young girls before him, that he hadn't notice Rosswiese's fist until after it had already made contact with his face.
"Ugh, that was disgusting!" Liliana cried as she and Ingvild both started vigorously rubbing their legs as if they had been made filthy by his touch, while Ingvild sadly said,
"I guess Alex was right, the entertainment industry really is too corrupt..." As she said this there was suddenly a high pitched alarm that Mr. Tatsuya had somehow managed to trigger, even after taking a hit from the 'Rook' Rosswiese, making her sigh before saying,
"Haaa, I'm definitely going to hear about this from Alex and Grayfia later...." Liliana and Ingvild nodded in agreement, even as they opened the locked door and went to greet the incoming security guards.
