The loud voice came right beside Stella which startled her to the point of stumbling a foot away and almost trip. The source of the voice was a certain bespectacled peach-blonde girl, the same girl who was secretly observing Bruce's mock battle. Stella recognized her immediately.

"Ahh! Kagami!? Where did you come from!?"

Kagami didn't respond. Her gaze, obscured by the specular lenses, was fixed on one particular person among the group and swung a dramatic point of her finger towards him.

"YOU THERE!"

Bruce looked perplexed at the young girl pointing towards him, wondering who is this person what kind of ridiculous hijinks was being thrown at him this time. Nagi quickly moved out of the way when he saw the young girl charge towards them, dust kicking out like she was a one-girl-stampede. Bruce put his guard and his arm up in case he needed to defend himself but to his surprise, she grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously like she was using his arm as a whip.

"It's honor to finally meet you, Wayne-senpai! The way you won that bout against Saikyou-sensei was amazing! I've never seen anything like it!" Kagami gushed excitedly.

"Senpai?"

Bruce didn't have a chance to think of it further because Kagami's words immediately caught Ikki's attention, making the boy approach them with astonished eyes.

"Did I hear right? You defeated Nene Saikyou? The Yaksha Princess?"

The thought of it intrigued as well as excited Ikki. He enjoyed facing strong opponents and pushing his skills to its limits, a person who defeated Saikyou was surely a strong fighter. But Bruce was quick to downplay his match, not liking the attention.

"She's exaggerating. It was a handicap match and I just got lucky." Bruce said before yanking his hand from Kagami and turning his attention towards her.

"Who are you and how do know about me?" he asked with suspicion.

"Oh excuse me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kagami Kusakabe, I'm with the school's Newspaper Club."

Kagami continued to speak while wagging a finger in a know-it-all manner.

"And yes, I know all about your mock battle. Just like I know that you're seventeen years old, Rank-D and that you had a little incident with Stella-chan. How scandalous! I can see the headlines already..."

She emphasize the imaginary headline by wiping the air with her open palm.

"Temptress Princess strikes again! Could she be aiming for a reverse harem!?"

The short girl's impromptu title at first made Stella recoil before provoking her enough to march towards them in agitation.

"What's with that headline!? And I'm NOT aiming for anything!" the fiery princess barked.
