"Come in." said Mayumi in a soft tone.
"Excuse me." replied Miyuki as she stepped inside the room. Followed by Tatsuya standing behind her.
7-figures could be seen sitting on the round table inside the room. 4-girls and 3-boys. Two of them were exceptionally handsome and excluded a noble aura around them.
"Welcome! We introduced ourselves at the matriculation ceremony, but just in case:- Sitting next to me is our treasurer, Suzune Ichihara, a. k. a. Rin! You know who's sitting next to her, right? That's Mari Watanabe, chairman of the Disciplinary Committee. And that's our secretary, Azusa Nakajo, a. k. a. A-chan! then Hanzo, our Vice President."
"Sitting next to him is Ichizu Ruujiki independent Discipline enforcer and sitting opposite to him is Nikasu Ruujiki also an independent Discipline enforcer. That's our Student Council this semester." introduced Mayumi with a smile.
"Welcome Miyuki-san, hope you can help me represent the 1-year students both course-1 and course-2.....Welcome Tatsuya-san I can't wait to get my hands on those wonderful theories." joked Ichizu lightly.
Whereas Nikasu just nodded at her and looked at Tatsuya for a second before ignoring the pair of brother-sister all together, focusing on completing his theory on a laptop.
An awkward atmosphere appeared inside the room. Ichizu flashed an apologetic smile ,trying to dissolve the awkward feeling.
"At this school, the Student Council President is chosen by election, but the other officers are chosen or dismissed by the president. With some exceptions, the president also has the power to appoint or dismiss the chairmen of each committee."
"One such exception is my own Disciplinary Committee. The members of the Disciplinary Committee appoint some officers each to the Student Council, the Extracurricular Activities Federations, and the Faculty Committee, but the chairman is chosen in an internal election." said Mari as she explained the inner working of the different bodies responsible of work in the school.
"Now, then, in keeping with our annual tradition, we appoint the first year student representative to the Student Council but he is already a part of the council, with an independent position."
"So Ichizu can't represent the students of 1st year neither can Nikasu that leaves us with the next best choice, you. Miyuki, I'd like you to join the Student Council. Will you accept the appointment?" asked Mayumi with an excited smile.
Instead of replying Miyuki stayed silent and took a deep breath before saying "President, do you know about my brother's entrance exam scores?"
"If the Student Council is looking to recruit a talented individual, I believe my brother is a better choice than me. I am deeply honored that the Student Council wishes me to join their ranks."
"Unfortunately, that won't be possible. The officers of the Student Council are chosen from among the Course 1 students. This is not an unwritten law, but rather a regulation. To overturn this rule, the entire student body would have to vote for an overhaul of the system." said Hattori in a matter-of-fact tone.
"My apologies. Please forgive me for being so forward, and so out of line. Let's see Then are we agreed that you'll be joining us on the Student Council this semester as our secretary, Miyuki?" said Ichizu with a smile.
"Yes. I will do everything I can to serve you to the best of my abilities, so please allow me to join you." replied Miyuki.
"The Student Council still hasn't filled the one remaining spot on the Disciplinary Committee, left by a departing graduate. Mari-san told me, we're still in the middle of the selection process."
"If I'm not mistaken, selecting a Course 2 student as a Student Council nominee for the Disciplinary Committee wouldn't be in violation of the rules, right?" Nikasu who kept quiet all this time suddenly spoke without looking up as he continued with his work.
Everyone stared at Nikasu in wonder before they heard Ichizu commenting "I told you all that he isn't an ice-cube but you didn't believe me....."
"Shut up!!!!..." retorted Nikasu after which he ignored Ichizu's antics.
The people in the council giggled a little before shutting up after receiving a glare from Nikasu.
"That's right, for the Disciplinary Committee, it would pose no problem. Mari, the Student Council hereby nominates Tatsuya Shiba to the Disciplinary Committee." said Mayumi.
"Hold on a second, please! Don't I have any say in this? In the first place, you haven't even explained to me what it is that the Disciplinary Committee does!" said Tatsuya think about how to escape from his current situation.
"No...you don't have a say in it...." said Ichizu with authority.
"The Disciplinary Committee maintains order at this school." said Mari.
"Is that all? Excuse me?" asked Tatsuya with an unbelievable expression on his face.
Ichizu face palmed himself at Mari's description of the discipline community.
"The main duties of the Disciplinary Committee are to charge those in violation of the school regulations regarding the use of magic, and to crack down on disorderly conduct involving magic." said Nikasu in a cold tone.
"Just in case, I'd like to confirm one thing What is it? If I understand correctly, whenever a fight breaks out, the Disciplinary Committee has to stop it by force is that right? Well, more or less. And that holds true even if magic is being used Ideally, we'd stop it before they use any magic." asked Tatsuya
"Excuse me, but I'm a Course 2 student because of my miserable scores in the practical exam!" retorted Tatsuya.
"You are that baldy's student ,if you can't handle such small fights then that is no need for you to waste his time." said Nikasu in a cold tone.
Tatsuya went quiet as he couldn't find any way out of his current situation.
"Let's go to the Discipline community headquarters...." said Mari.
"Ms. Watanabe, please wait a moment." said Hattori.
"What is it, Vice President Hanzo Gyobushojo Hattori?" asked Mari.
"Please don't call me by my full name!" said Hattori.
"Okay, then - Vice President Hanzo Hattori." said Mari resulting in Ichizu to face palm himself once more.
"It's Gyobu Hattori!" said Hattori.
"That's not a name, it's a government post of your family, right?" replied Mari.
"Fuck!!! I am not doing this anymore...." said Hattori in frustration.
"Cursing is a bad thing Hattori...." said Nikasu.
"I apologize Nikasu-san...." said Hattori as he calmed himself down and glared at Mari.
"We no longer hold that office. At this school, I'm registered as Gyobu Hattori wait.....No, that's not what I meant to say!" said Hattori as he remembered what he wanted to say.
"Then what is it?" asked Mari.
"I am opposed to that first year being appointed to the Disciplinary Committee. No course-2 has ever been appointed to the Disciplinary Committee before." said Hattori
"The Disciplinary Committee's job is to crack down on students in violation of the rules using practical skills. A Course-2 couldn't hack it - their skills are inferior."
"It's true that the Disciplinary Committee is meritocracy-based, but there's more than one kind of practical skill." said Hattori.
"Tatsuya has the eyesight and brains to read activation sequences directly, and accurately predict which spell is about to be activated." said Ichizu with a bright smile.
Everyone of them were dumbfounded by Ichizu's words whereas Miyuki and Tatsuya went on high alert after listening to Ichizu's words.
'How does he know about my *Elemental sight*???' thought Tatsuya as he sent Ichizu a penetrating gaze.
"Impossible Even an Essential Singularity-type activation sequence is loaded with data - as much as 30,000 letters of the alphabet! There's no way that he could read it in an instant! Common sense tells us that there's no way." retorted Hattori.
"That's precisely why his skills are so valuable. He's sure to become a powerful deterrent towards all those would-be violators who keep getting off easy because we can never establish their crimes."
"Also, there's one more reason why I want him on Mari-san's committee. Just as you say, at this school, there's an emotional chasm between the Course 1 and Course 2 students."
"The Course 1 students bullies the Course 2 students, but never the other way around. This system has only served to deepen the rift. I'm just not a fan of the notion of allowing the committee that I work for foster's such a sense of discrimination."
"President as Vice President, I am against appointing Tatsuya Shiba to the Disciplinary Committee without testing his abilities. I will give him a chance since Ichizu-san is backing him up."
"A Course 2 student lacking magical power would be in over his head on the Disciplinary Committee!" said Hattori.
"Just a minute! It's true that my brother's practical test scores were sub-par, but only because his skills were incompatible with the method of assessment!
"In an actual battle, my brother would never lose to anyone." said Miyuki resulting in a flare up in Ichizu's and Nikasu's psion.
Two extremely strong Psion locked onto Miyuki and Tatsuya as Nikasu asked "Undefeatable huh....I too would like to see that, let's have a mock battle for to see if he is worthy enough."
"Nikasu I...." before Ichizu could say anything Nikasu cut him saying "I will test him myself."
Ichizu stared at Nikasu for a second before retrieving his Psion and saying in a soft tone "You better put up a fight Tatsuya...." Nikasu also retracted his Psion.
"Before all that can you tell me how you knew about my ability....." asked Tatsuya.
"You don't need to over think this matter. Ichizu is the strongest Do-jutsu user in the whole history of Ruujiki clan. There is nothing that can escape his eyes." said Nikasu in a cold tone.
"Ms. Shiba! A magician must recognize everything as it is, calmly and rationally. Because we possess the power to make the impossible possible, we are expected to train ourselves rigorously to serve the public interest."
"An aspiring magician cannot allow her judgment to be clouded by nepotism."
"I know that your brother is capable but please refrain from using words like undefeatable ,least it would attract attention of someone truly undefeatable." said Ichizu with a smile as he glanced at Nikasu.
"Pardon me for saying so, but my judgment isn't clouded in the least. With my brother's true abilities he will not lose." said Miyuki with utmost confidence.
"Very well I'm going to prove that my sister's judgment isn't clouded, I have no choice." said Tatsuya.
"Good...." said Nikasu as dense Psion particles started revolving around him making it extremely dangerous to standing near him. They left for the mock battle arena.
{At the battlefield room 1-365 C)
"Do you always carry around multiple storage devices?" asked Mari.
"Yes. Since I don't have sufficient processing skills to master a general CAD." replied Tatsuya to which Mari nodded.
"I'm going to explain the rules now. Spells that prove fatal, as well as those that cause your opponent irreparable damage are forbidden. Direct attacks should never cause your opponent any more than a sprain."
"Weapons are prohibited. Bare-handed attacks are permitted. The winner will be declared either when one party acknowledges defeat, or when the referee determines that one party is unable to continue."
"I myself will be using sheer force to deal with any infractions of the rules, so be prepared! That's it." said Ichizu with a harmless smile.
"Begin...." said Ichizu as he watched Tatsuya disappearing from his place and appearing behind Nikasu with his C.A.D pointing at Nikasu's back.
"Winner Nikasu Ruujiki....!!!!!" announced Ichizu much to everyone's confusion.
"But Oni-sama...." before anyone could say anything they saw Nikasu standing behind Tatsuya with his C.A.D just behind Tatsuya's head.
"How....." everyone gasped at the sight of two Nikasu.
Tatsuya's back was drenched in cold sweat as he thought 'His concealing skills are levels above Sensei's whereas his speed is way faster than my own reflexes.'
"You pass!!!!...." said Ichizu shocking everyone once again.
"You see, what happened is that.....Cliff-kun no jutsu!!!!!."
