章 4: confirmation

// 3rd POV //

~RING~ ~RING~

A ringing phone startled a hard at work girl who decided to ignore the call.

~RING~ ~RING~

"oh, piss off" she mumbled before answering, "hello, this is Lucy. What do you want?" was spoken in a clearly annoyed tone.

"Well, is that any way to speak to your father?" at this, the girls eyes widened in surprise.

'damn, I really should look at who's calling me before answering'

"Hello father, to what do I owe the pleasure" was spoken in an exaggeratedly respectful voice.

"oh shut up, you will be pleased to hear that it is confirmed that you will be accepted into that schoo-"

"HAHA! YES, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" She cut him off, but she didn't care one bit. She was too happy.

"-and as I missed your birthday this year," Lucy rolled her eyes, truly not caring in the slightest, "I have arranged for your little pet to be accepted as well"

Lucy scrunched her eyebrows at the word 'pet', until clarity hit her. He was talking about Miyu!

"Wait I never told you about Miyu, and she is NOT my pet." it was at that moment that Lucy realized something.

When she first had her maids take care of everything after her father left, there was only 3 of them. The fourth one came a week later and her father even called her to make sure she arrived. She thought nothing of it back then but now that she thinks about it, she was an absolutely terrible maid.

"Hang on, is Gretta a spy?" 'I knew something was up with her! I'm simply too smart for even myself hahaha!' (she didn't)

"Gretta is simply a maid in training with my phone number, She isn't exactly a spy"

"oh"

// Andrew's POV //

'Damn, that was a close one. If Lucy found out that Gretta was a spy, I doubt Gretta would live past tomorrow. Lucy all ways has valued her privacy'

It was a joke when Andrew Hall thought it in his head, but he will never know how true that statement is.

// Lucy's POV //

'For a moment there, I thought Gretta would have to... dissapear'

// Gretta's POV //

~SHIVERS~

'what the hell was that? I should probably check on lady Lucy'

Gretta walked up the stairs with quick feet, she peeped into Lucy's room and saw her on the phone and sliding an object under her bed.

'she'll be fine'

// Miyu's POV //

~hmm~ ~hm~ ~hmm~

"MIYUUU!!"

~sigh~ Miyu sighed as she heard the light but rapidly approaching ~pita pat~ of a 5 foot 3 girl's feet.

"What is it-" ~umph~ She was tackled with the force of what felt like a hundred trucks causing Miyu to release all the air in her lungs.

"We'ere in Miyu! We're in, hahaha!" Lucy gave Miyu a hug that could kill a person, it was so tight.

'I don't know what we are in but-'

"H-heelp..." was all Miyu could force out of her self, luckily Lucy heard the abysmally quite words and let go.

// 1 minute later //

After I finally caught my breath I see a restless Lucy sitting on my bed with an infectious, face-splitting grin.

Unbeknownst to Miyu, she was also smiling at the sight of the girl in front of her.

"Would you like to tell me what it is exactly that we got into?"

"Hehe, we got into ANHS!" Lucy giggled due to how happy she was.

'I don't know why that makes her so happy, it's just a school isn't it?'

"Just a school!?" Lucy spoke incredulously.

'I said that out loud?'

"ANHS is-"

Lucy went on to explain how she thought of this school for the next 45 minutes, and would have continued had dinner not have been ready.

// Midnight, Lucy's POV //

'finally, it's time. I have been waiting for 10 years for this.' a small smile formed on Lucy's face as she sat on the roof top, watching the moon.

'I think we should get everybody together tomorrow for a party. Ooooooo I really can't wait, I am going to crush every single person in that school!'

She thought to herself as she went from sitting down to on her back and kicking her legs in the air like an excited puppy. It took a whole 1 minute for her to calm down.

"I do wonder though, which class will I be put into? There is a very small chance that I'm put into class D, I have an extremely above average intelligence and fit body. I don't believe that I can be called defective in the slightest."

"Class C is a possibility, that class for that year is full of fighters to my knowledge. Although there is Hiyori, obviously inexperienced in any kind of conflict. Class B... that would be ideal, as cunning as Ichinose is, she ultimately lacks what a leader needs, the absolute resolution to do anything to climb to the top. All I would have to do is declare myself as class leader, I find it unlikely that anybody CAN oppose me in that waste of a class."

"Class A... to be honest it would just be disappointing to start at the top. I want to experience it all, the climb to the top, defeating every notable character there, defend my position and hold of all of the other three classes and see them admit that i'm the winner of this battle."

"I wonder if Miyu will be in the same class as me... It would be great if she where."

'honestly, I've come to see this girl as my own family recently. More than my father even, though that's not a very high bar. Not that he's done anything, I've just not put in the effort to make a meaningful connection with him. What's the point when that connection will only last a single life time?'

Lucy had not seen the hypocrisy in her thoughts, in the way she views her father compared to Miyu. Maybe she does see the hypocrisy but refuses to acknowledge it... no one will ever know.

// In tokyo, 3rd POV //

"Ayanokoji-kun, how would you like to get away from the white room for a while longer?" The question was aimed at a 15 year old boy with messy brown hair and a blank expression.

"Matsuo, how is that possible?"

~sigh~ Matsuo sighed at the toneless voice that responded to him.

"There is a school called the 'Tokyo Metropolition Advanced Nurturing School'"
