I was awaken by the alarm on my phone and groaned softly. Orimi whined and gripped my shirt as she didn't want to get up either. I opened my eyes and grabbed my phone off the nightstand then stopped the alarm. I stretched a bit and exhaled then looked over at Orimi.
"It's time to wake up..~" I said as I held her.
Orimi made a soft sound and buried her face into my chest. "Noo...five more minutes.."
"If I let you sleep for five extra, you won't wake up until the next hour..~" I said then chuckled softly.
Orimi softly groaned then sat up. She moved her hair from her eyes then yawned and stretched. "Mmmm...I miss sleeping in now..."
"Come on..~ Eventually we would have to go back to school..~" I said then began to get out of bed.
"Yeah...at least we get to go to school with everyone again..~" Orimi smiled.
I smiled and took out clothes from my suitcase. "That's true, and we have new friends as well. Plus we get to see Ms. Chiziwa again..~"
Orimi giggled softly and stared at me. She got out of bed then tiptoed toward me. She hugged me from behind and smiled sweetly. "Did you have a good rest..?~"
I smiled and nodded. "I did, did you..?~"
"Mhm..~" Orimi said then closed her eyes.
I chuckled softly and held my clothes in my hands. "Alright I'm going to get ready okay?"
"Mmkay..~" Orimi said then let me go.
-------
I walked to the closest bathroom to my room and walked inside. Once I walked inside I noticed how big the bathrooms were. I walked down the two steps that were in the bathroom and turned the corner. I grunted and turned away quickly to walk away.
"Halt."
I stopped walking and froze. "Yan Mei, I didn't mean to-"
"Join me. Let this be a part of your training." Yan Mei said.
"Wh-What?" I asked and looked back.
"Yes. I said join me in the shower." Yan Mei said.
I grunted softly and walked back toward Yan Mei and set my clothes on the counter. "Do I have to..?"
"You've already seen my bare skin. There's no use in acting like you didn't." Yan Mei said and looked at me.
I blushed and began to take off my clothes then got in the shower with her. She grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall and glared at me with a blush on her face. I stared at her and my blushing only grew more intense. She placed her hand beside my head and kept making eye contact with me.
"Yan Mei..." I softly spoke.
"Why..? Why did it have to be now that my body gets viewed by anyone other than Mistress Melody..? I noticed you staring yesterday...do you enjoy my body..?" Yan Mei asked.
"I-I.." I stuttered. I couldn't lie, I found it hot when she pressed me like this. This is the first time I've been in this situation.
"Well..?" Yan Mei pressed and got even closer. "Tell me, do you find me that attractive..?"
"I-I do.." I answered.
Yan Mei narrowed her eyes down then looked back up at me. "You're lucky I find you rather pleasing to the eyes as well. You just saw the Student Council President's naked body...now you must pay the price. You must battle against me now as your orientation...if you happen to win.."
My body began to grow tingly as she got even closer. I could feel my breathing deepening, my heart fluttering, and I could feel intense arousal.
"If you happen to win.." Yan Mei said then leaned into my ear. "I'll let you do whatever you want to me tonight..."
She grabbed my hand then placed it on her breast. I tried to regulate my breathing, but at this point it was impossible. She pressed her body against mine.
"If you lose...I will get you classed as the low peasant. Your fingerprints are on my bare skin. I will have you branded a pervert...worst of all, I will have you kicked out the house like a dog.." Yan Mei said.
I gulped and decided to defend myself by flipping the position and slamming my hand on the wall, pinning her against it. "Yet when I tried to leave...you forced me back in here. Seemed like you enjoyed the fact I saw you and it wasn't someone else.."
Yan Mei blushed and grunted softly. "You're willing to cheat on the Lady Himeko just to get a good view on my body..?"
"I'm not cheating...I also have Rimuri, Mae, and Karasu in my roster. I'm not afraid to add another to it." I said then looked at her up and down.
Himeko taught me that most women love a bold man who can take charge in any situation. It seemed to be true since Yan Mei's face was a deep red from her blushing. She seemed to be into it.
Yan Mei closed her eyes and looked away. "It's too early for that. I don't know you like that just yet so let's call it even."
I smiled and gave her some space. Yan Mei looked at me then walked out the shower. I watched her then she turned around and pointed at me.
"You're not escaping my challenge. St. Hoya Stadium. Me and you. Bring your best." Yan Mei said then went to dry off. "Also...you've got a nice size on you."
I rose an eyebrow and looked down, noticing I was extra rock hard. I looked back at Yan Mei..
"See you." She said as she was dressed and left the bathroom.
"What the fuck just happened..?" I asked myself.
-------
"St. Hoya Academy! This is where all of our units rise! St. Fraskia calls themselves Valkyrias, well St. Hoya is known as the Mythics as we firmly believe in Theora, the Goddess Monster of the Mythics. Melody told us about her and her teachings. She's said to be the sister of Apeiron." Himeko said as she walked onto the courtyard.
We followed her and looked around. It did not look like a normal academy. The students here all look like well developed fighters.
"Here we only have a few subjects to learn from. We have your normal classes like Mathematics, Social Studies, Astronomy, and Physical Education then we have the St. Hoya Subjects only learned by students of Year 4 to 7 like Monster Studies, Hoya Tech, and Advanced Battle Training." Himeko said.
"So like are there ranks like there are at St. Fraskia?" Fujin asked.
"Yes. There is Rank F all the way to Rank U+ meaning Ultimate. I am a Rank U+ Mythic, meaning I am the strongest in this entire academy other than the Headmaster." Himeko said.
"How would you go about increasing your Rank?" Mae asked. "And what rank is needed to go into missions?"
"You increase your rank by having Official Academy Battles. You will have to face a series of five strongest opponents from your Rank and if you win all five you'll rank up. And you need at least a Rank C- to be able to go into missions." Himeko answered.
"There you are." Yan Mei said as she walked toward us. "Don't think I've forgotten our battle today, Yoshida Asato!"
The courtyard went silent when Yan Mei said that. Everyone's eyes were on me and Yan Mei. I placed my hands in my pockets then heard the whispers amongst peers.
"Yan Mei, Student Council President. Rank S. What did you do to piss her off?" Himeko asked.
"We had a little...run into each other. A few words were said and now she wants to fight me." I sighed.
"Yes it's best we leave it at that." Yan Mei said. "I don't hate you in the slightest, in fact I like you because of your boldness. You rejected my battle request yesterday, but today there is no escape!"
"Wow, first day and already battling against the Student Council~ You surely have a knack for attracting trouble Yoshi..~" Fujin chuckled.
I groaned softly and looked at Yan Mei. "Let's get this over with."
------
Orimi sat in the spectator area and stared at me. "Yoshida is a Rank F isn't he because he just joined right?"
"Correct." Himeko said.
"A Rank F going against a Rank S. This is a clear mismatch isn't it?" Fujin asked.
"The Rank doesn't make the fighter." Mina said. "Mina is a Rank B and she can beat a Rank A easily because of her swiftness!~"
"Mina is correct. Your Rank doesn't depict your skill in battle. Granted...Yoshida doesn't have much battle experience but he went toe to toe against Ochiyo and Yaseo by himself." Himeko said then gently bit down on her thumbnail. "But Yan Mei...she's so clear minded no one...not even I can really touch her because of her reflexes and instincts."
Yan Mei finished stretching and got in her battle stance, placing one arm behind her back and left the other one out. "Yoshida! Are you ready?"
I looked around and noticed there weren't many students spectating. I looked back at Yan Mei then got into my fighting stance. I nodded. "Ready."
Yan Mei nodded then waited for me to move. I watched her then ran toward her. I went for a straight punch, but she easily dodged it then dodged my right hook by leaning backwards. I went for another punch, but she smacked my hand down then palmed my chest. I grunted and stumbled backwards.
She went for a feint at my face, forcing me to block high then kicked my stomach with a straight kick. I groaned and held my stomach. She watched me then blocked my uppercut then grabbed my wrist and pulled me up then hit me with a spinning heel kick. I groaned as I fell on the ground.
"He's clearly outmatched." Fujin said.
"That's true, but Yoshida seems more durable than most don't you think. Most wouldn't be able to handle head on attacks from Yan Mei like that.." Keishi said.
I slowly stood up and got back in my stance. I ran toward her and went for a kick, but she dodged it then grabbed my leg. She kicked my leg from under me then grabbed my other leg. She spun me around then tossed me. I landed on the ground then groaned softly.
I slowly stood up and my Monster Aura surged around my body. I let out a roar and my eyes shined a bright blue with purple pupils.
Mina sat up quickly and put on her scanner. "His power level just increased greatly!" Mina said then squeaked when her scouter malfunctioned then started smoking.
Melody watched the birds fly away and looked at me. "His anger.."
I dashed toward Yan Mei and roared then jumped up and went for an axe kick. She blocked my kick then went for a counter, but I dodged it and summoned a void underneath her, making her fall in. I landed on the ground and opened another void in the sky. The void blasted her to the ground.
Yan Mei landed on her feet and vanished. She appeared behind me, but I roared and a powerful force of wind pushed her backwards. I opened multiple voids and they began to fire powerful blasts of wind at Yan Mei.
"He combined my powers with Rimuri's?!" Karasu asked in shock.
"Go Yoshida!" Rimuri cheered.
Yan Mei dodged each blast of wind then palmed the air, launching a force of wind at me. I groaned as I was hit then rolled backwards. She clapped her hands together and wood surrounded my feet, preventing me from moving. She kicked the air and launched a powerful bolt of fire at me, hitting me then causing an explosion.
The smoke cleared and I fell to my knees then my Monster Aura disappeared. I fell to my side, passed out. Yan Mei lowered her leg then closed her eyes. Everyone was in awe except Himeko, Keishi, and Melody.
Himeko smirked and clapped her hands then stood up. "A fine performance! I'm sure the Headmaster is pleased with this performance!"
Himeko watched a woman stand up and leave the area. She smiled and looked down at me. "He has a lot of potential...This academy will bring forth not only his potential, but all of your potentials. I hope you're ready for some real work."
Orimi, Mae, Karasu, Fujin, and Rimuri looked at Himeko. They watched as she stared at me with a smile on her face.
Yan Mei picked me up and carried me to the infirmary. "You lost, but seeing your Monster Side...it impressed me. I might want to teach you personally. When you wake up, I hope you're ready for a lot of training.."
