Chapter 13: A long stick
After the affair of Miwako, the daughter of the Tenonji family made a fuss in classroom 6-A. The rumor once again spread its wings and flew over the school with high speed. The true face of the prince of the Konoe family was exposed to the whole school.
You have a beautiful Omega fiancee, but you seek after other Omega and use various disgusting excuses to deceive others. Not only that, you pour mud upon the innocent one as if you are the only one who isn't guilty. Everyone looks at Konoe Tatsumi with weird eyes one after another.
He got rejected by Suiri. Since he couldn't get her, he would destroy and ruin her by using the hands of his nominal fiancee. He knew that he couldn't offend the Hoshiyuki family so he used his fiancee's family to ruin her. Killing two birds in one stone. And then, the Hoshiyuki would ruin the Tenonji family and he would also get rid of his fiancee. However, he didn't expect that the Suiri girl was not as simple as he thought. With a piece of solid evidence with legal authority, he couldn't turn the table at all.
Miwako was an airhead woman in the study, but she was not as stupid as Tatsumi thought. It was just that her brain IQ got decreased several times after falling in love with him. She still had high emotional intelligence. She knew what was right and wrong from the beginning.
Break time.
At the Salon of Stardust Academy.
"I declare that the engagement between the Tenonji family and Konoe family is no longer valid"
"Tatsumi, no, Konoe-san, your family will pay compensation for the violation of the contract"
"Derailment, deception, and defamation. You tarnished the reputation of my family"
Miwako bravely stated as her face was trying to suppress her emotion. She was hurt. The boy coaxed her with sweet words and manipulated her by using her love like a tool woman. How could she accept it? She still had the pride of a wealthy daughter. Fortunately, she could maintain her reasoning ability to do the formal procedure. She had already submitted the evidence to her parents and let adults do their jobs after this incident.
The blond-haired boy could only watch everything unfolding in front of him. He kept silent because a murderous pressure exuded out of the black-haired mixed-raced woman. Good, he had offended two powerful families at the same time. He couldn't believe that Hoshiyuki Suiri always brought a mini-camera capturing everything and the tape itself was legitimate in the court of law. He couldn't help but be amazed at her mature thinking. He knew everything was over.
"President Hoshiyuki, restrain yourself, I don't want this school to have a homicide case"
The black-haired boy knew how her brain's circuit worked. As long as you dared to touch her sister, she would retaliate tenfold and make your life worse than death.
Maria sadly replied.
"I knew, Hanayama-kun..."
Hanayama chuckled.
"Then, can you please put down the kitchen knife in your hand?"
"..."
The whole scene was silent. They knew how much love President Maria poured into her little sister. All of her classmates knew that she was a helpless siscon. Many suitors couldn't stand her love for her little sister more than them so they naturally left her. Yet, they hadn't expected the saint of Stardust Academy would decide to solve by violence. Because she was afraid that this guy would come back to revenge on her sister sooner or later, she had to act before the threat could develop. Since you couldn't solve the problem, let's solve the person who set the problem.
Tatsumi got panicked instantly when he saw that 'hot' good in her hand.
Hanayama continued.
"If you commit murder, your sister's life will be ruined by your hand"
Her red vertical pupils reacted as Hanayama knew he was going in the correct direction.
Maria's weakness was Hoshiyuki Suiri.
"Imagine if you go to the prison, an unknown Alpha will snatch her away without you knowing. How can you deal with that?"
"..."
The bystanders didn't understand what they were talking about. Why did it sound so dangerous? The saint of the Academy wouldn't do such a thing, right? Why was your persuasion so wrong in their ears?
Under the persuasion of Hanayama, Maria finally could put down the knife.
Everyone at the scene sighed a relief when the 'hot' good had already disappeared. Tatsumi's expression also relaxed.
Maria said in a trembling tone.
"You're right, she only needs me..."
She continued as her eyes became firmer.
"That's why I have another solution"
The next moment, her operation made everyone stunned again as her hand took something under her skirt. She raised the suspicious thing with her hand in the sky and people at the scene had question marks on their heads.
"Tadaa~, Miracle Educational Stick. Once your head gets hit, you will be reborn as a homo sapien again~"
"..."
"..."
Why did they have a feeling of a certain blue mechanical future cat in a certain anime? There was a dead silent atmosphere surrounding the salon.
If it wasn't for the cleverness of Suiri, this bastard would've caused a big problem between two major families. The reputation of her sister was also ruined as a slut seducing others. They couldn't blame Maria entirely because they knew how frustrated she was. All blamed on the head of this false prince. His characters were all crooked to the core.
In fact, Suiri could solve it in a low-key manner. It was just that a certain woman who had once been so angry that she wanted to commit violence in the classroom. Suiri had no choice but to expose his 'good' deeds in the public place. However, after this incident, many ulterior confessions had decreased dramatically as they knew that Suiri would record the whole process with legal and authentic evidence that could be used in front of the court of law directly.
Many people were in awe and admired the second daughter of the Hoshiyuki more and more. It also led to an example lesson for many omegas and female betas to learn from her. From the third point of view, if Suiri didn't have this video, she would've been bullied and isolated completely, and led others to look down on her. As an Omega in this society, it wasn't different from the dead end for them when they were labeled as a slut or third party in the relationship.
Hanayama's mouth twitched slightly.
"Anou, President Maria, no matter how hard I try to look at. It should be a baseball bat right?"
"..."
Everyone had the same thoughts as Hanayama. However, Maria beat her chest while bragging.
"What are you talking about, Vice-President Hanayama? This is a precious treasure worth more than 10 million yen which was passed from generation to younger generation of our Student Council. How could you not recognize it?"
Everyone thought. 'No, this is the first time we've ever heard about this traditional treasure'.
Hanayama retorted.
"Then, how could you explain why this treasure worth more than 10 million yen was under your skirt?!"
Maria smirked.
"Kuku~, that's a good question, Vice-president Hanayama"
"Because its original appearance was not like this at all!!!"
"What? (Nani!!!)?" Everyone gasped but Hanayama was immune to her play.
"Let me tell you a story..."
Maria's expression turned serious.
"When I got voted and became the President of the Stardust Academy. The former principal of the school had personally come to me..."
...
"Student Hoshiyuki, Congratulation for becoming the 37th President of the Stardust Academy"
An old woman with a shining glass looked at Maria with a serious expression. Her clothes were all formal because she had been with the school since its establishment.
Maria held her hands and showed respect.
"Yes! It's my honor to serve as the President of the Student Council. I will dedicate my best to make the school a better place. Not only for me but for my little sister as well. Principal Ichigaku"
She was Ichigaku Victoria. A respectable woman who singlehandedly built the Stardust Academy from scratch in the 80s was a strong omega in her teens. The school itself produced many talents who could step to the top of society. However, due to her old age, she had chosen to retire as an old woman enjoying the last moment of her life. She still had her voice in the school.
Victoria shook her head.
"No, no, no need to call me Principal. I had already retired..."
Maria replied.
"Yes, Madam!"
Maria showed a confused expression.
"Why are you here? Ichigaku-sama"
Victoria showed a frustrated look.
"The school had gone downhill because many arrogant, young masters and ladies abused their power and status..."
"My great-grandson had become a licking dog for many powerful families to gain his benefit"
"For example, the Shouma family, their son had gone rampage in the school recently..."
Victoria knew how corrupt the school was in the hands of her great-grandson. Therefore, she decided to come back once more time and reform the whole school to an inter-university system and integrate the commoner families into the school.
Maria clenched her fists because she knew this bastard. He once wanted to bring her sister to his bed. If it was not for the newly appointed guard from the Mizuno family, it would've been disastrous.
Victoria continued.
"I've come back again as an Elder of this school, the principal position will hand over to my other great-granddaughter"
"To prevent those situations like this, this school once had a specific treasure for the President of the Student Council to prevent from happening. Generation after generation, the school has become a better place so the treasure had no show and disappeared from the 9th generation"
"What!? (Nani!?)". Maria gasped in shock.
"Could it be...???"
Victoria smirked.
"Yes, that is it!!!"
Victoria signaled for her caretaker by her hand and the maid brought out a well-wrapped box. Then, the maid wore a pair of gloves and unfolded the fabric wrapping the box as if it was an ancient item.
"Are you ready? The 37th generation of President of Stardust Academy, Hoshiyuki Maria"
Maria covered her mouth and couldn't express her feelings.
"I..."
Suiri's image floated in her mind. Her determination became like a straight steel that couldn't be bent.
Maria raised her fist in determination and looked directly at Victoria's eyes.
"I'm always ready!!!"
Victoria nodded in satisfaction.
"Very well, no, Excellence!!!!!!"
"Student Hoshiyuki Maria, I can see your fire burning out of justice in your eyes. From now on, I will hand over to you the sacred treasure of our school to make my school a better place again!!!"
Maria knelt and raised her head.
"Ichigaku-sama, I won't let you down"
Then, she raised her two hands to receive the sacred treasure.
"Remember well, Maria, this treasure is worth 19999999 yen. You won't find the second one"
"Yes, Madam!!!"
Maria took the box and placed it on the table. She turned around and asked.
"Can I open it right away, Ichigaku-sama?"
Victoria nodded.
"You deserve it!"
Maria swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
*Gulp*
She was nervous because the price of this treasure was so outrageous.
She used her hand to swipe away the dust as it had been untouched over the years.
The moment she opened it, Maria had to take back her hand and cover her eyes because it shined too much.
"Ah~, My eyes~ SO MUCH LIGHT!!!"
Maria couldn't help but groan in pain.
Victoria let out a smile.
"Be tolerant, this treasure has recognized you as its master"
"Grab it, take it, let's see the true shape of the TREASURE!!!!"
Victoria urged Maria to pick up.
Maria struggled to comment.
"As expected of the treasure for the President, it's so strong!!!"
Victoria also concurred.
"That's right. How can the ordinary beings pick it up?!!!"
"Go! Let me see you that you're worthy of the President of Stardust Academy!"
"Yes, Madam"
Maria took a deep breath. She used her hand but she felt something preventing her from doing so.
"The trial of the treasure..."
"If you can't pass, you may..."
Maria responded determinedly.
"No, Madam, give me one more chance. I will prove it to you!"
Victoria opened her eyes slightly and agreed.
"Good, you go"
"Thank you, Ichigaku-sama"
Maria expressed her gratitude and tried once more.
Like the first time, something prevented her from touching it. She added her voice.
"Ahhh!!!"
After a while...
Maria remembered her sister's innocent face as she yelled out and held one hand in an attempt to pick up the treasure.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I'm willing to sell my soul to protect my sister and change this worst place for her beautiful school life!!!!!!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Victoria was shocked by this girl's determination. Although she was a siscon, her love for her little sister had been beyond the limit as the treasure had to give in. Only a worthy President could pick it up. Yet, this girl had broken her view because the sisters' love had overcome the last trial that the treasure set out.
"I will protect her at all costs!!!!!!!!Yahhhhhhh!!!"
Victoria once again witnessed the next wielder of this treasure.
Maria's hand finally touched through the golden light in the box. Her tactile sense felt that she had touched something. Her fingers wrapped around and clenched into a fist. The next moment, she felt that the time had been ripened, she used all of her strength to take it out.
"Hah!!!!"
*Shu~shu~*
The golden light in the room gradually dissipated and the treasure began to reveal its true shape.
"So...this is the shape kneaded from the bond between me and Suiri"
This time, it was Victoria's turn to gasp in shock.
"How can it be?!!!!!"
The maid had to support Victoria because of her excitement.
"Madam, please calm down"
Maria watched the reaction of the former principal and the maid. She was puzzled by them.
"Hoshiyuki Maria!!! This treasure had been in various shapes through the generations!"
"Whether a ruler or a baton..."
"You had brought out a miracle!!!"
Maria was surprised.
"What!? (Nani!!?)"
Victoria introduced it formally.
"Rejoice!!(Iwae)"
"The primitive shape of this treasure!!!"
"Miracle Educational Stick!!!!"
Maria looked at the stick once again and carefully observed. The stick had a golden body and 4 Kanji characters. One is people (人), the second is education (教), the third is responsibility (責), and finally that is morality (德).
Soon, Maria's wrist felt heavy and Victoria caught right away.
"The President of 37th generation, the stick was made of gold. Yet, you're still young"
"It seems to be early for you to wield it"
Maria refused.
"No!! I can't give up!"
"Tell me how to master it completely and quickly!!! Ichigaku-sama!"
Victoria smirked.
"Kukuku~, you're still young and impatient"
"Don't worry, because you have me here"
"Next, it will be a training arc..."
...
"..."
"Wait a minute!"
Hanayama quickly cut in.
"Did you really just make up your shounen manga!!!??"
'No wonder this template sounds so familiar'. Everyone at the scene thought.
Maria clicked her tongue regretfully.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, You all don't understand but 80% of the story was true"
"Then you just admitted that you made up for the 20% left?"
Hanayama caught immediately.
"Are you really my people!? Why don't you just keep silent and save my face there?"
"You constantly stab at my back!!"
Maria was so angry that she had to put down the Miracle Educational Stick because it was so heavy.
Hanayama retorted. "But your story didn't explain why the stick had the shape of a baseball bat?"
Maria replied casually.
"Eh~, I told you already. The treasure can change shape"
Hanayama felt that he needed to lower his IQ to talk with this person.
"What!? Do you think of us as those children who believe in fantasy!?"
However, Miwako almost believed it as her eyes shined and sparkled.
"Awesome! (Sugoi!) Hoshiyuki-san, Can it be changed to a magical wand if I touch it?"
"..."
"..."
Maria murmured with Hanayama.
"Oh! It seems that there is one here"
"..."
Everyone at the scene didn't know what to say to Miwako. Her painful expression had disappeared without a trace. The only one left was the curious face of an innocent child. She believed that Magical Girl existed in the world.
After hearing Maria's bragging, her hope ignited once again.
Hanayama's face darkened. He was tired and didn't know what to do next. Looking at the expectant face of Tenonji Miwako, how could he brutally destroy and ruin it? He cursed his mind that he was so sensible and noticed many things for others. If he were more ignorant, he could've lived better.
This was also a reason that Konoe Tatsumi hated his fiancee. She behaved like an idiot and he felt that she didn't deserve to be with him. When he met Hoshiyuki Suiri, he thought that he'd finally met his fateful one. She was mysterious and mature. Importantly, her figure was indeed better than his fiancee's several times. The hourglass figure. The place needed to be big could be big, the place needed to be thin could be thin. The appropriate proportions were well-distributed.
He murmured.
"Stupid"
Miwako caught the words from her ex-fiancee. Her innocent face had been distorted and she wanted to cry. Her tear had already formed under her black eyes and her antenna black hair bent down to express her gloominess.
Maria comforted Miwako.
"Don't worry, Tenonji-san, although I can't make the shape of a magical wand..."
"But I knew one person who could make it"
Miwako's face lit up.
"Really?"
Maria nodded.
"Yes"
Maria suddenly turned to Hanayama and urged him.
"Hanayama can perform it"
Maria said so and Miwako's eyes stuck at him.
Hanayama's face became more gloomy as he knew this girl was digging a pit for himself. The innocent eyes stared at him which made him uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he had no choice.
Then, he sighed and picked up the Miracle Educational Stick. It was as heavy as he'd expected.
He pushed up his glasses and searched the children's program with Magical Girl in his memory because his sister watched a lot.
He began to perform various poses of Magical Girl...
"I represent for the name of justice. I will punish you, the evil Fiancee..."
The door of the salon opened as the protagonist in this story stepped in.
"Onee-sama, did you wait..."
Suiri was shocked by the scene in front of her. She wished that she could wash her eyes again because a certain muscular Alpha was doing some shameful poses with a golden stick in his hand. She was late today because Akane-sensei told her that her song had passed the plagiarism test and she had also registered a club room in the building for a music club.
"..."
"..."
Maria held back her laughter because she wanted to keep her perfect sister's image in front of Suiri.
"Puff...."
She turned around and squeezed her thigh.
"Ara~, Sui-chan, what do you want to eat?~"
"Ah...um. I don't know"
Suiri was still shocked so she couldn't choose her menu at all.
After that, Maria left together with Suiri and Sasaki to the private dining room. Following behind was Charlotte. She also looked at Hanayama with strange eyes and hurriedly followed the Hoshiyuki's sisters.
"..."
Miwako chuckled.
"Woa~Can I borrow the Miracle Educational Stick?"
"..."
Hanayama was silent, deadly silent...He had a feeling this was Maria's conspiracy against him. Maybe he told her that he wanted to be her brother-in-law. She silently set up a trap and put him to death.
"..."
There was no reply. The scene was frozen. Hanayama knew that at this moment he'd *cked up.
