Hizuki accepted the news of reforming the squad gladly without any other problems or hesitation.
That is one good news.
Oh, I have another.
She insisted on following me back.
"Who is this girl?" Yui raised an eyebrow and stare at Hizuki. "He is one of my formal squad members" I answered. "My assistant" "Your assistant?" Yui stare at her grabbing my arm, great, one more enemy to fight against with. "Very well then, you can stay." She faked a smile, trying hard not to chase her out with the broom in her hand. "Tomorrow we will be heading out of this city too, so…" Kasumi joined forces, trying to explain she is not welcomed here.
"Oh, no worries." She searched her backpack for a while before handing out a license. "I asked for Alan, and he gave me a license to work at the Academy too as a medic member!" She showed off, whether she intended it or she is still a messy girl back then, she didn't realise the smile on the two girl's face frozen in place. "So, you will be staying at the guestr…" "I wanted to stay together with Zeo." Before Kasumi could complete her statement, Hizuki interrupted again. "Just like how we used to be, sleeping together at the fields." She lean her head onto my shoulder and smiled sweetly, I take a look at the two girls, I am sure she is going to die here tonight if she act stupid again.
"Let's get inside, shall we?" I shoved the rest inside the mansion, trying to calm each of them down and avoiding a fucking riot. "What is for dinner?" I asked Yui, trying to change the topic. "You" She turn her head around and glare at me. "Go take a shower, this is none of your problem" "Yeah, alright…" I nodded, before rushing out of the battle zone. "You sure are a magnet." Mei laughed upon seeing me getting enrolled in all of these bullshits. "Gah, shut up." I waved my hands; I am getting a real pain in all of this. When will this stop? I have no idea actually.
"You are jealous at me, right?" Hizuki asked after seeing me leaving. "O-of course not!" "Why, why would I be jealous?" The two immediately denied. "Yes, you are." She tilted her head and smiled. "Since we all love the same man, why won't we work together?" She suggested. "I don't want to share a man with other girl." Yui grumbled. "If we keep doing like this, we only ended up causing more problems." Hizuki analysed. "You just wanted him to be happy, right?" Happy, the two thought in their heart, yeah, as long as Zeo is happy, they are happy, too. "Let's love him together, alright?" She smiled, grabbing the two's hand. "Whatever" Kasumi look away, but she is totally on it. "For Zeo…" Yui nodded slightly agreeing.
"Damn that bastard." Alan stare at the monitor, rubbing his head in frustration. "Best he didn't add more girls into this mission…"
"Welcome, to the Ace Academy. Please take your registration before entering the examination arena…"
Monday arrived, and thousands of teens rushed from all across the five city, gathering at this Elite Academy, hoping they would be qualified. Most of them are the rich and the royals, since they are the one who can afford the costly Oslum Metal.
"Invigilator Zoe…" The guard look at my license, I gulped with four girls still behind me at the check in line. "Happy working, sir." The guard handed me and waved his hand, signalling for me to pass. I let out a deep breath. The rest passed too, as they followed behind me, afraid to get lost in the crowd. Speaking of the girls, they seem a lot more obedient today, wonder what happened yesterday. Now I remember, they had been acting weird after I take a bath, what had they done during that period? I had no idea, I felt so goddamn uneasy to be honest.
"So, we will be split up here, alright?" I said after the five of us arrived the junction that would split our ways. "You all good?" I stare at the four girls, still a bit uneasy about their safety, especially when they are all so damn looking… "Yeah, we are good." They all nodded all together. "Take care too, alright?" "Yeah…" I headed towards the passage prepared specially for the examination invigilator. "Goodbye Zeo!" The grabbed their hands, forming a line as they waved their hands towards me, shouting in front of such a huge crowd. I felt embarrassing and awfully glorified for a moment as I waved back.
"So, you are the new invigilator?" The happiness doesn't last long though, the moment I step into the preparation room, I was greeted with a cold faced old lady. He pushed his glasses up her nose as she stare at me with a sharp gaze. "Our academy had a reputation for being one of the finest in the world." She poked with pride. "I don't wanted a young inexperienced men to mess up the process of filtering the elites, understand?" She growled at me.
"Y-yes madam!" "Very well then" She waved her hand, signalling me to follow her, and I did what she asked me to as the two of us walk down the special lane prepared specially for us, the invigilators. "The test was split into three sections. One is academic, in which I had it taken care of. The next is physical level, in which the machines were taken care of. As long as you obtain a certain score at this two, you will be qualified for the third test. In which you need to take care of it." "What is it then?" I asked out. "To engage in a good old fashion combat of course." She pointed at the arena beside us. "Invigilator needed engage in a fight with the top student, if he invigilator succeeded, he will remain his rank. But if the student succeeded, the student will straight up raised his rank as one of the lieutenant of the royal army." Oh so, it is like a promotion?
"Alright?" I nodded slightly, kind of getting the hand of it. "All I needed, is to fight, right?" "Wrong" she snapped. "What?" "It depends on who you are fighting with." She set down the one and only rule. "If it is one of the Four Royals, you better let them pass." "Why?" "Cause they wanted us to do so!" She shrieked, I remain shut, looks like corruption really starts at the core, right?
Disgusting
