Chapter 154: No Late Day
~Mash B. POV~
[After the Fight, Honnouji Academy]
*Thud*
When everyone was gone for the day Ryuko soon poofed into her normal state as she groaned in a tired tone, "Man, I'm exhausted!!"
Falling to the ground we both dashed towards her with Ryuko asking in a concerned tone about our wellbeing, "Mako! Mash! You both doing, okay?"
We nodded our heads as I asked in a neutral tone about her well-being, "We're good. But what about you need a hand?"
Ryuko laughed nervously as she groaned failing to move in a blunt tone, "Haha… I can't move a muscle."
Well, I figured that much Captain Obvious. Chuckling lightly as Mako holds Ryuko's head gazing at the courtyard and the school, "The school building, courtyard, and Ryuko are all busted up…"
However, Mako soon spoke in a startled tone addressing the elephant in the room, "HURK! Ryuko you're really smelly!! You haven't washed your uniform at all, have you?"
I blinked a bit confused. When I smelled the air, my face flinched as I gagged detecting the smell now that Mako mentioned it commenting about it in a surprised tone, "Hurk…! She's right! I can even smell it soaked in blood and sweat… the heck Gear Eyes I thought you cleaned your clothing!"
She had the decency to blush looking away as she thought to herself. Rolling my eyes at her laziness I soon remembered something after this scene. Right No Late Day happens tomorrow. I even used my [TOOS] to confirm it.
Dragging her I soon asked Mako about No Late Day which seemed to make her freeze up at the mention of it, "Oh right I almost forgot to ask. Mako No Late Day is tomorrow?"
Her eyes went wide grabbing a Calander from out of nowhere. But judging from her shocked expression Ryuko soon asked confused, "No Late Day? What the hell is that about?"
Soon enough Mako explained what No Late Day was in a frantic tone explaining the importance of such a day to us, "AH! It is! Ryuko No-Late Day is a day where No-Star students cannot be late to class, or they risk expulsion from the academy. Participants have to survive through 999 obstacles, which include numerous varieties of traps, which only the most determined students can overcome."
Ryuko her mouth agape looked surprised as she growled at the ridiculousness of such a day in a shocked tone, "What… what the hell?! Why the heck does Satsuki even need a day like that? It just sounds plain crazy!!"
I'm not even gonna open my mouth on that one because I know why this No Late Day happens in her school. It's essentially its basic component to separate the strong from the weak.
As the school distributes Goku Uniforms to what they consider capable and loyal students, those who have proven themselves in the eyes of the Student Council can wear one. This event was established to help separate the weak from the worthy, those that remain can be considered more likely candidates for the uniform.
Ridiculously difficult as it might be, this event is intentional on Satsuki Kiryuin's part: The 'worthy' students are intended to join her as part of her formidable army in a bid to stop Ragyo Kiryuin and Revocs Corporation's sinister plan to ensure the Primordial Life Fiber's success in assimilating both humanity and Earth.
After all, one would need an army that the enemy wouldn't find to fight a massive force. And where else than a school from her daughter building her resistance against her mother?
Then again calling her a 'mother' is putting it too lightly for my taste. More like an annoyed nuisance that needs to be killed by fire. LOTS of fire is the best cleaner in the world.
Thinking for a bit I soon spoke out loud of an idea that both seemed to listen possibly of avoiding the mess that would be No Late Day in a casual tone, "Well… I do know a few ways to avoid that trouble tomorrow. Mako are you down for a sleepover in school?"
Ryuko paused as she said in a deadpan tone, "What?"
Mako's eyes perked immediately hearing my plan as she agreed, "Absolutely! A camp sleepover! I'll be back with a tent!"
*Swooosh*
Mako was long gone as Ryuko gazed at me with a tired expression in a deadpan tone, "You want to camp here in school? You're weird you know that?"
My gaze turned to her with a deadpan expression on my face explaining the real purpose of staying here in a neutral tone, "It was either that or have Mako expelled. But… I didn't want you to stink up my room so I had to make do."
She sent a glare at me as she growled at me in an angry tone despite her exhausted state, "I can fucking wash myself asshole – Ah! Did you fucking spray me?!"
*Splash*
Holding a spray bottle at the ready to clean this dirty girl quite literally with a smug grin on my face said to her in a calm tone, "Yes. Yes, I did. Now don't be a baby and take your daily washing already Gear Eyes."
*Splash*
Spraying at her she cursed and hissed getting rid of the foul smell. I know there was an easier way, but I found this much more fun trolling her like this. Gear Eyes certainly act like a cat hissing from being sprayed hahaha…

~Third POV~
[4:30 AM, Honnouji Academy]
*BEEEEEP*
*BEEEEEP*
Suddenly an alarm like the one in school rang throughout the city. Standing above the podium was Ira Gamagori The Disciplinary Committee Chair yelling out loud, "TODAY IS THE ONCE-IN-A-SEMESTER SCHOOL EVENT: NO-LATE DAY!!"
[IRA GAMAGORI]
*DOOOM*
*TADA*
Gamagori pushed a button and a huge obstacle course, filled with traps, sprung up from the ground as he grinned proudly at his position, "The No-Stars must evade the traps that we at the disciplinary committee built with our technological prowess… and make it to school the first-period bell rings, or they will be expelled on the spot!!"
Grinning widely Gamagori spread his arms open as he laughed thinking his plan would work not noticing the two tents inside the courtyard, "Even Matoi, who claimed she would destroy Honnouji Academy will never make it into the school!! Mwahahaha!!!"
*YAAAWN*
However, he soon stopped as he noticed Mako, Ryuko, and Mash woken up from their sleep inside their tents brushing their teeth, stretches, and laundry as Gamagori yelled out loud in pure shock, "Wha? What are you doing?! Matoi! What are you doing on school grounds?!"
Ryuko was busy cleaning Senketsu enjoying being scrubbed, Mash began cooking breakfast with his materials, and Mako answered his question in an innocent tone, "We camped here! Ryuko was so exhausted yesterday that she couldn't talk, and Mash didn't want his apartment room stinky with her stench. So, I brought tents here and we camped out."
Gamagori's eyes twitched seeing how they easily handled No Late Day simply by camping inside the campus gazing at Ryuko's and Mash's pajamas in a shocked tone, "Even so what manner of slacker outfits are those?! Entering school in slovenly outfits like that is a mortal insult to both the academy and Lady Satsuki!"
[HALLELUJAH]
Mako began to pose as unknown lights began to surround her as she magically appeared next to Gamagori spouting her nonsense, "They were asleep until just now! It's perfectly normal for sleeping people to wear pajamas! OR do you mean to say that you dress like that when you sleep, Gamagori?"
He replied in a blunt tone and a bit startled by Mako appearing next to him, "No, I sleep in the nude."
Mash blinked a bit surprised before shrugging as he commented, "Wow. Really?"
Gamagori nods his head confirming his thoughts as Mako continues to explain convincing him of the priorities of sleep and health, "You'll catch a cold if you sleep in the buff! If you were sick, could you work to your fullest potential in an emergency? Please wear pajamas like everyone else when you sleep!"
He stood there eyeing Mako before he finally nodded his head agreeing as he spoke in a stoic tone, "Oh.… Fine."
She soon got closer to his face causing Gamagori to create beads of sweat from the rageful expression of Mako, "It's also common sense to wash a stinky uniform! You can't wash your uniform while you're wearing it! It would be against school disciplinary policies to wear a smelly uniform to school! Not to mention school hasn't officially started yet!! So Ryuko and Mash can wear pajamas if they want and can do laundry if she wants!"
Gamagori saw her flip from his position asking in a stoic tone, "What is your name?"
Mako standing her ground introduced herself to Gamagori in an innocent tone with a determined glint in her eyes, "Mako Mankansho. The pattern on my favorite pajamas is one Mt. Fuji, two hawks, and three eggplants! Anyway, I'm going to change now. No peeking!"
*Vooosh*
Entering the tent to change he directed his attention towards Ryuko and Mash clenching his fist reluctantly leaving them alone in an irritated tone, "Matoi!! Bastion!!! I will let you both off easy this time! Consider yourself lucky! I won't be as lenient next time!!"
They rolled their eyes but soon Mash spoke to Gamagori reaching out to him as he leered directly at him speaking out loud in a stoic tone, "And what do you want coming near me Bastion? You want to – "
Before he could finish Mash spoke interrupting him as he yawned making Gamagori pause at the words from his mouth and say in a tired tone, "Ahhh… Sorry but can you please hand me a Club Form to create the Fight Club? The teacher said to look for you guys to create the form so…"
Gamagori blinked a bit surprised seeing Ryuko wasn't reacting as he questioned them with a raised eyebrow in a confused tone, "Didn't you say you'll crush Lady Satsuki Kingdom and the first thing you do is ask to form a Club in her system? Surely Matoi would object to this right?"
Surprisingly enough Ryuko shrugged as she dry-cleaned Senketsu agreeing with his goals in a confident tone, "Not at all. If we're going to crush her system, then why not destroy it within? Besides that, I doubt we want to deal with all the nobodies in school after us. At least if we form the club, they'll fight by OUR call, not theirs. I at least trust this dumbass in what he has in mind."
Gamagori frowned at this but following his duty he handed the Club Form to Mash. He began writing down the names with him being the Club Leader, other members being Mako's vice president, and Ryuko as extra.
Handing the paper to Gamagori he took it seeing the contents as he spoke in a neutral tone crossing his arms, "Very well then. One of the Elite Four will address this with your uniform after it gets passed by Lady Satsuki. Till then I hope you attend classes and don't be late!"
He turned soon leaving them Ryuko soon asked Mash as Mako was eating the freshly made breakfast in a curious tone, "So then asshole what are the genuine chances our club with you as the head and Mako as Vice President that Satsuki would agree."
Mako's eyes widened in surprise as he spoke answering Ryuko's question with confidence addressing the stunned Mako, "Oh no doubt. It's not a matter of if but rather when. Besides Mako would probably be safe if she joined our Club as our mascot not doing any fighting but moral support. That's okay with you Mako?"
She paused considering the question before shrugging with a happy grin as she innocently answered, "Hmm… Okay! At least I get to hang out with my friends and not be pelted by tennis balls or hanging from boiling water! I'm in!"
Agreeing the trio smiled while Ryuko and Mash knew this was necessary for them. After all, they are simply bringing Life Fibers to them allowing Ryuko and Senketsu to get stronger as the days go by.
