Chapter 42: Being a scumbag is hard 1
While the students of the Hagun Academy discussed with each other whether they should join the selection of the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, the members of the student council were busy preparing the selection.
The teachers and staff of the academy might help with the preparation of the selection, but the academy mostly left everything to the students, considering how the academy left most of their authority to the students, so they could learn to be independent before they graduated from the academy.
There were 250 students each year, so Hagun Academy had a total of 750 students.
While not everyone was going to enter the selection since they felt that it was dangerous, the number of the students who wanted to join the selection wasn't small since, unlike before, when the participants were chosen based on the attribute scores, this time, everything was fair.
Whether you were F-rank, E-rank, or A-rank, as long as you won the selection, you could participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and have a chance to become the Seven Star Sword King.
There was no discrimination over the amount of magic you had, and as long as you were strong enough, you could become a participant.
It was also the reason why Ikki was excited about this selection.
Touka, who was the student council president, was also quite busy since she needed to take care of the documents and various paperwork. However, she had gotten used to it, so she didn't really think much, but she missed Tsukasa somehow.
Suddenly the sound of the door being knocked on was heard, and everyone on the student council heard a deep yet manly voice that was heard from the outside.
"Touka-nee, Kanata-nee, Uta-nii, I'm here." Tsukasa opened the door and looked at everyone from the student council.
"Tsukasa!" Touka was excited to see Tsukasa come to visit her, but someone reacted faster than her before she reacted.
"Kugayama-kun!"
Renren Tomaru, General Affairs Manager, quickly hugged Tsukasa happily. When she saw his match yesterday, she just couldn't get him out of her mind. "Are you going to visit me? Do you want to date me?"
Tsukasa looked at Renren, the sporty petite girl with short hair and tanned skin. While this girl was cute, he didn't feel anything when she hugged him since her chest was so barren, and all he could feel was her ribs.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Stella wanted to throw Renren away, but Touka's reaction was much faster since she had already picked Renren by the collar and tossed her to the sofa.
Touka looked at Renren with a sigh and said, "Renren, Tsukasa is my boyfriend."
"What?!" Renren was dumbfounded and complained. "That's not fair, President! When did you date each other?" She had just fallen in love with someone. How could she give up just because Tsukasa had a girlfriend?
"We dated each other a few days ago. Anyway, he's off-limits," Touka said with a tone that was similar to a mother who lectured her children.
Stella wanted to say something, but her mouth only opened and closed like a fish on the aquarium, and no sound came out before she could only grit her teeth unhappily. She snorted and looked away.
Tsukasa only glanced at Stella, then looked at Touka. "Sorry for coming so suddenly. Did I bother you?"
"No, you're not." Touka shook her head without hesitation since there was no way for Tsukasa to be a bother. Instead, she felt that she was full of energy when he came to the student council room.
"I see, that's great. I just miss you and want to meet you after all," Tsukasa said softly as he looked at Touka subtly.
"Tsukasa..." Touka blushed since she also missed him, especially when she thought about what had happened before. She also wanted to do it with him again, but she was so busy.
"Ahem!"
Tsukasa looked at Utakata and greeted him with a smile. "Uta-nii." Before, he greeted everyone on the student councils, but he didn't see Kanata, which made him confused. He then talked with Utakata, Ikakuchi Saijo, and Renren Tomaru, who were student council members.
"Hmm? Vermillion-san? You're also here?" Touka then realized Stella, who had been standing beside Tsukasa.
"Of course, I have been here from the beginning," Stella said with a gentle smile. But, while it might seem gentle, there was this sense of intense fighting spirit.
"Have you gotten used to living in this country?" Touka only smiled, but her fighting spirit didn't lose against Stella. After Tsukasa's match against Stella, she also wanted to fight against Stella to see who was the stronger between them.
"Yes, thanks, Tsukasa. I'm living well in this country now," Stella said with a grin, trying to provoke Touka.
"Oh?" Touka raised her eyebrow, and the lenses on her eyes seemed to gleam for a moment. Her soft eyes turned sharper, and there was electricity that emitted slightly from her body. "Yes, my boyfriend has been gentle toward everyone, but please don't misunderstand his kindness with other emotions, alright?" She wouldn't be surprised if Stella fell in love with Tsukasa since she knew that there were many girls and even boys who fell in love with him. However, they didn't know him at all, and they only looked at his appearance.
Unlike Stella, who only knew him for the past few days, Touka had known Tsukasa for many years, and their relationship was closer than anyone.
Still, if there was something that Touka was annoyed about, it was the fact that Kurono didn't give her permission to live with Tsukasa in the same dorm.
Also, Tsukasa had become her boyfriend now, and Touka was going to protect him!
Stella frowned since she couldn't beat Touka's status as Tsukasa's girlfriend, but could she just give up?
"I won't misunderstand, but you also need to be careful, President, since many couples have broken up shortly after they have become a couple," Stella said as she gritted her teeth.
"You don't need to worry about our relationship since we won't break up." Touka then looked at Tsukasa and said, "Right, Tsukasa?"
"...."
Tsukasa, who was eating snacks, was stared at by Touka and Stella simultaneously, and their gazes were so dangerous at that moment. He glanced at Utakata, who looked away at this moment.
Even Saijou and Renren also looked away at this moment since Stella and Touka were so scary!
There was electricity emitted from Touka's body, and Stella's body also emitted a hot temperature.
Tsukasa wondered who could help him, and it seemed that his luck was working at this moment.
"Stop, you two! Do you want to destroy the student council room?" Kanata asked loudly.
"But..." 2x
"Touka-chan, what kind of student council president will destroy the student council room?" Kanata scolded.
"Ugh..." Touka could only lower her head in shame.
"Vermillion-san, do you want me to tell Kurono-director about what are you doing? Is this how the princess of the Vermilion Empire acts? Are you a princess or a thug?" Kanata said dignifiedly.
"Ugh..." Stella also lowered her head in shame.
Kanata let out a long tired sigh and said, "I have been busy as the committee of the selection of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, but you two cause more trouble for me."
"Sorry..." 2x
Touka and Stella could only lower their heads.
"Anyway, I need someone to help me with the registration of the selection." Kanata looked at Stella and asked, "Vermillion-san, you're going to join the selection, right?"
"Of course!" Stella nodded without hesitation.
"So, do you want to register now?" Kanata asked.
"Yes!" Stella nodded and made her registration without hesitation.
Kanata received Stella's registration and then looked at Tsukasa. "I need someone to help me now. Tsukasa, are you free?"
"...Yes, I'm free." Tsukasa nodded after a moment of hesitation.
"Good, follow me." Kanata didn't wait for him and left.
Tsukasa also didn't say much nonsense and said goodbye to Stella and Touka. "You don't need to wait for me, Stella. You can go back first. I'll go back after I am done."
"But..."
"Don't cause trouble, alright?"
"...Okay." Stella hesitated, but she didn't want to cause him trouble, so she agreed reluctantly.
Tsukasa then approached Touka and whispered, "Touka-nee, if possible, can you take one day off before the selection?"
"One day off?" Touka looked at Tsukasa curiously.
"Let's take a trip before the selection," Tsukasa whispered.
"Okay~!" Touka nodded without hesitation, and there was a question that she wanted to ask, but she hesitated.
Tsukasa knew what Touka wanted to ask, so he kissed Touka's cheek gently, then said, "I won't break up with you. Don't worry."
"Yes~!" Touka nodded happily, then looked at Stella.
"...." Stella.
"Then I'll go first." Tsukasa walked out of the student councils and thought being a scumbag was hard.
