Chapter 73 - Chapter 1 part 7 Honour to my name

Hathor may have slipped up but I only spoke up to get the secret, the last thing I wanted was princess Yuri petrified to take back her proposal so I said "Yuri after school if it isn't too much of an imposition on you could we visit you at the palace? I have a few important things to discuss."

Yuri nodded in surprise.

The 3 of us had finished our launches and had started to walk out of the cafeteria when I noticed a gym next to the cafeteria, in it students were practicing Kendo the ancient art of sword fighting.

The fighting was stiff and lacked flexibility, the strike speed was slow and much too flashy.

I had started to wonder in when the teacher in charge noticed the 3 of us entering, the teacher calmly approached and asked "Want to give Kendo a shot!"

I nodded and the teacher made me put on a large heavy vest and a face guard then the teacher asked "Do you know how this works?"

I quickly replied "Yes I'm well trained. Body shots are a point and all strikes must be parried by the stick no use of physical assault in attacks."

The teacher nodded and took his stance while I took a traditional sword grip and a flexible stance, the teacher attacked and I parried him to the right and slammed the stick into his side.

The teacher took up his stance again and this time I attacked and I locked his stick in a position where he could not counter and my stick struck him on the collarbone thus the sequence of exchanges continued for 10 consecutive rounds and the teacher took of his mask and said "You should try out for the team later today with skills like yours you bound to end up in top 3 for Japan."

I took of the padded vest and mask and set them down next to the teacher and said "I will see if there isn't a club that intrigues me more."

I had turned back to Hathor and Yuri and both girls were making a face that scream yummy.

We had started walking when I realized I had to explain to Yuri what I was doing so I said "Yuri if you feel awkward accompanying us as I go around and show off in every club don't feel like it's imposed on you to follow us."

Yuri smiled and said "Well normally I sit in class all alone as no one ever comes near to me out of fear they may get in trouble so trust me I'm over the moon just walking with you 2. 1 last thing please keep up the showing off I never could take part in sports before so I may get inspired by you."

The words were sincere and her expression was 1 of pure joy, I may seem to be very up tight but whenever peace ruled I generally was a very bubbly individual and enjoyed seeing others happy.

The 3 of us had dropped in on 4 clubs in the break and all 4 were definitely impressed by my skill 1 of the teachers in charge of baseball hadn't realized who I was and offered me 10000 yen to be part of his team just for games.

Finally the buzzer rang and Yuri greeted us and parted ways skipping happily of to her class, the young lady was gleeful because she had company.

Hathor looked at me with a wide smile saying see my plan wasn't that bad.

The 2 of us were walking back to class when I noticed the boy who attempted to hit me attacking Cronos.

I walked over and tapped the boy on his shoulder and when he turned around I said "I think you want a repeat of this morning that's why you beating people up. If I catch you laying a finger on anyone else trust me when I say I will return the favour to you 10 fold."

The boy swallowed hard and puffed out his chest in an attempt to scare me.

I merely took a step towards him and he took up a defensive stance preparing for a fight.

I turned around and walked away with no 1 saying a thing, I offered Cronos a had to lift him of the floor and as soon as he got up I walked of.

I had to impose stature over others and my actions merely pointed to me being a morally outstanding individual.

Several individual approached me as I walked back to the classroom and finally 1 of them was close enough to me and said "Excuse me, would you mind having a quick word with me?"

I turned around and the badge on his chest was the wings of Horas representing the student council president.

I replied "Sorry but class is starting soon if you don't mind holding our meeting after this session of classes."

The student council president replied "Why don't we speak as we head to your class?"

I nodded in agreement and started walking to the changing room near the grounds.

The student council president said "Thank you for assisting with the issue of bullying I would like to invite you to join the student council under my leadership. With you under my command I'm sure we could establish a name for ourselves to catapult ourselves forward in endeavours."

This was exactly my purpose in attending school and making my name pop up internationally was key to catch Alexander.

This school was renowned for producing prodigies in politics and crime, as such Alexander would keep a keen eye on the students excelling to recruit new underlings.

I looked back at the student council president and instantly decided I wanted the position so I answered saying "Unfortunately I cannot accept the position as my family expects me to be student president to show the Miyazaki name."

The student council president seemed a bit worried by the announcement and then I said "Should I win the student council election I offer you the vice president position if you would be willing?"

The student council president seemed to ponder his chance for a minute and said "Very well I agree to your offer and will gladly nominate you as my opponent and ally."

My position as next prince had likely been added to the consideration of the decision made by the student council president as he walked away.

The school was an upper to elite class environment and no standing would be seen greater then having a royal noted hence the majority of votes in the election would flow in my direction.

My outstanding physical capabilities and academic achievements would only add to prestige for the other students who could barely achieve their next goal in education so the regular upper class would vote for me.

The plan was now set and Alexander would hear about me in the next 2 weeks if not sooner.

Horas had been asserting his dominance over everyone in the school hoping to pull of the objective and shockingly Horas had proven himself to be extremely persuasive.

This raised 1 question what was Alexander using to defeat his natural charisma, Horas was strong likeable and extremely kind the only down side was how unbelievably forgiving he is.

I hit Horas nearly everyday and it undoubtedly wasn't pleasant yet Horas never stopped me or gave me the cold shoulder.

Alexander would fail to compare to Horas and would also fail at undermining Horas as he did exercise discipline when necessary, the only thing Alexander could possibly have played was a secret card that would sway others, Horas offered his followers to taste immortality and even offered them wealth so the only thing that remained was a possibility of great power.

My experiments in the past had infused multiple power sources into immortal flesh and only 2 power sources could grant the user power unfortunately the time it would take to stabilize a body with the power enhancements was beyond me, I also did not want to have to explain my past to Horas or he may actually hate me.
