" The worst teacher." the Highschool principal commented. Jinno sensei added, " You're trash." On the other hand, Yukihira was lost in his thoughts, since he got careless and let his feelings out.

The Highschool principal started to fold his newspaper close and set it aside. " A teacher having feelings toward a student-- but this might be even more complicated..." he sighed and gave Yukihira a look.

" Kaoru Igarashi reported after graduation and it seems that ever since a long time ago the elementary principal has taken a liking to Yuka's stealing alice." the Highschool principal looked at a written document and continued to read.

" According to Kaoru, to take Azumi Yuka under him, he even arranged a marriage for them." He said. Jinno's eyebrows stitched into a frown and looked at the troubled Yukihira.

" That principal Kuonji, wants the 'steal' alice to--" Jinno's words had been cut of by his co-teacher. " What in the world is this?!" Yukihira exclaimed in annoyance.

His brother shook his head in dismay, " To stop that cunning plan of the elementary principal... We need the help of Azumi Yuka-- she was your student before, right?" to his surprise Yukihira had already dashed outside the office leaving Jinno and Principal Yukihira.

Meanwhile, little Sakurano and Subaru were holding Yuka's hands eagerly as they try to shove their alice stones at her making the girl flustered.

" Eh~? That's amazing, being able to make alice stones at your age!" Yuka beamed and smiled at the kids while kneeling to match their height. Narumi who was standing behind her was not amazed as she was since he was able to do a much bigger alice stone before when he was younger.

" Take mine!" Sakurano shouted but Subaru competed with him in loudness. " No, take mine instead~!" he exclaimed.

Yuka sweat-dropped since they were too loud and were already fighting in front of her. " Now, now... I really can't take these stones since you worked hard to make those. Instead, you should treasure it all right?" she tried to cheer the two boys but they looked very disappointed with her statement.

" What? you won't take it?" they chorused. Yuka sighed and scratched her head. " Disappointed, huh? Then fine I'll take it." she then took the stones from the kids and got tackled by the two out of happiness.

"Let go of her, she's mine!" Subaru said while hugging Yuka and was trying to push Sakurano away. " What? No way, she's mine!" Sakurano rebutted. Narumi's ears perked and crossed his arms together.

" What are you two brats saying, senpai doesn't belong to neither of you." he hissed but the two kids stuck out their tongues at him. " Bleh!" Yuka zones out thinking about Yukihira knowing about her feelings and all.

" Yuka!" a voice rang behind her which caused her to get startled. " Huh?" Yuka mumbled and stood up from kneeling, looking at the guy who called her.

" I finally found you." Yukihira sighed in relief. " Why are were you hiding from me after 'that'... It was you who confessed." he stated making Yuka blush in embarrassment. She thought if she was hiding from Yukihira but in her perspective, the teacher was the one who was hiding from her.

'What the heck-- what is going on? Why is he even angry?' she thought and looked at the teacher with a dumbfounded expression.

" What are you planning to do?" Yukihira hissed. " Are you still planning to be the elementary principal's puppet without asking anyone's opinion?" his brows furrowed in anger making Yuka confused.

" Uhmm..." Yuka didn't know what to say.

" I EVEN HEARD THAT YOU AGREED TO MARRY THAT BASTARD!" the teacher suddenly shouted catching the attention of the students who were around them. Narumi was surprised to hear those from Yukihira. " Wha-- senpai!" he exclaimed.

" I don't understand you. You hated him but now do you like him? Do you love him now?" Yukihira grumbled but Yuka shook her head a little before replying.

" The one who is hard to understand is you, sensei. You build up a wall between us but suddenly you do 'that' kind of thing. Now you're angry at me? If you are worrying as a teacher then don't give me false hope, you're hurting me." Yuka frowned and clenched her hands into fists.

" Don't you think that I also did a lot of thinking but here comes sensei telling me off? You know how I feel, sensei. Can't you just stay away from me and stop making me misunderstand your actions?! Leave me alone!" Yuka gritted her teeth and ran away from them.

" Senpai..." Narumi said as Yuka's back became smaller from his view. Yukihira facepalmed and ran after the girl.

" You... STOP RIGHT THERE!" Yukihira shouted and ran as fast as he could. Yuka peeped by her side and saw Yukihira looking scary as he was running behind her.

" No-- STOP! GO AWAY!" Yuka felt an adrenaline rush and ran even faster.

" Aren't you saying that you like me?!" Yukihira beamed while panting but Yuka didn't stop running.

" IF YOU REALLY HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME... THEN DON'T GO TO ANOTHER MAN'S SIDE." Yukihira shouted in frustration. Yuka stopped running and faced Yukihira who held his knees while panting heavily.

" You won't go to him right, Yuka?" Yukihira asked, there was an awkward silence between them as they were looking at each other.

" Oh crap, I lost it." Yukihira groaned and held his side temple. " Yuka, I like you-- student-teacher crap we don't need that." he suddenly confessed.

Yuka turned red. " All your pain, your worries share it with me. What comes next isn't important but as a man, I will only belong to you. I will protect you, Yuka." he said. The girl was pulled into a hug. The two of them looked very happy after having a mutual understanding.

The students were very surprised to see the two hugging each other. Jinno who ran after Yukihira out of worry looked very stunned after witnessing the scene. Narumi also had a complex feeling about it but he chose to look away after feeling a bit hurt from what he saw.

Someone reported the incident to principal Kuonji who looked very displeased and angry. He smashed the window in front of him out of frustration making his knuckles bleed. " They'll see..." he muttered and took out his handkerchief to wipe off his blood.

Jinno then brought both Yukihira and Yuka to the high school principal. " I've brought them, principal Yukihira."

" Brother..." Yukihira called out to the principal who was standing while looking outside the window.

" The news about the uproar that you have caused has been brought up to me." the principal started. Yukihira, on the other hand, scratched his head and was about to explain but the principal turned off the lights for several minutes before turning it on again.

Yuka saw Yukihira with bruises and stomp marks on his clothes as well as on his skin. " Oh, my--" she gasped.

" Even if I scold you a thousand times you won't be listening and it won't matter." principal Yukihira groaned and held his temples to calm himself.

Yukihira just smiled. " Yes, brother. thank you." he laughed shortly before coughing in pain. " I don't have any ounce of regret after doing that. If it was easy to stop this feeling like reading a book or playing chess I wouldn't have done it." the man held Yuka's hand out of the blue.

" I don't want Yuka to regret either," he added. Jinno looked at the flustered girl. " Igarashi-san is very worried about you. She said that you have been fighting alone and it looked like you were about to do something... She wanted to help you and hopes to find out the reason why you chose to be by the principal Kuonji's side." he clearly stated.

Yuka gathered up her courage. " I honestly thought that if I go to his side and find a perfect chance to strike to use my steal alice and make his alice into 'nothing' it will be all right." she honestly replied.

Yukihira faced Yuka. " You plan on doing that alone? Do you even know what will happen to you afterward?! As if he would let you do that to him willingly." he scolded the girl for being reckless.

" I simply want to stop this cycle. I don't want everyone around me to get hurt. I want to protect everyone and the students here in the academy. This is the only place I have left." Yuka stated sadly. Yukihira pulled her into a tight hug.

In the time-space where Misaki and friends are in suddenly was distorting again. " Careful, everyone." Nodacchi reminded the students. After the space calms down, they saw Jinno scolding Yukihira for his foolish actions since principal Yukihira has been defending the teacher from principal Kuonji every time but after the public confession, it will be difficult to defend him now.

His point is if Yukihira is forced to leave the academy, what will happen to Yuka and the students who rely on Yukihira especially the 'monster' who is now learning how to trust him.

" Isn't that... Persona?" Misaki exclaimed as the scene changed where Yukihira and Yuka were in a basement. A boy was behind cell bars, his skin has dark patches that made him look very special compared to the students who are his age.

" Are you all right, Rei?" Yukihira called the boy by this name since he wasn't given any name by his parents before. Yuka was surprised that she was allowed to be there.

" I'm truly sorry for suddenly bringing you here but I have always wanted to introduce him to you." Yukihira smiled and patted Rei's head. " He's Rei Serio."

Rei was cautious with the female stranger behind Yukihira. He held the teacher's arm tightly as if he wanted to hide but Yukihira comforted him and told the boy that Yuka means no harm.
