Chivalry of a Dark Knight [Batman x Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry]

CH11: Dark Knight's Debut (prt 1)

It wasn't long afterwards when the three of them arrived at Hagun's seventh arena. On the way there, Ikki mentioned that it one the Academy's bigger stadiums normally reserved for major events and Bruce could see that fact from the outside, marveling at its imposing structure.

He guessed that the Battle Committee would try to make a match featuring a Student Council member as big of spectacle as possible.

Inside, the trio walked through the long corridor leading to the waiting room when they noticed someone walking towards the opposite direction towards them.

"Look, it's Saikyou-sensei." Stella said.

Indeed it was the petite teacher clad in her usual kimono and red haori with a large bow on her head. Nene smirked when she noticed Ikki and Stella hailing her and stopped in front of them.

"Kuro-bou, Stella-chan..." she greeted.

But when her eyes fell on Bruce, she paused and her entire demeanor shifted: she joined her hands behind her back and swayed herself, blushing like a bashful little girl.

"Hello, Buruu-kun."

The three students reeled back in surprise, Bruce more so.

"B-BURUU-KUN!? Where did that come from!?" he thought.

"What's going on with Saikyou-sensei? I've never seen her like this." Stella whispered to Ikki.

"I have no idea." he whispered back.

Desperate to put this situation out of their minds, Bruce coughed hard and turned his attention to Ikki and Stella.

"Anyway, I'd better head to the waiting room."

Ikki nodded with a smile.

"Good luck! We'll be rooting for you."

The F-rank extended a fist which Bruce bumped with his own after a little hesitancy. Stella frowned a little, it wasn't like she was intending to particularly root for him like Ikki said but now that she was put on the spot, she gave a begrudging "Um".

Bruce continued his way through the corridor but in another move that surprised the two teens, Nene trotted after him; the rapid clopping sounds of her clogs accompanying her.

"Wait for me, Buruu-kun!" she sang playfully.

The older student stopped and shot a glare at her.

"Stop calling me that! What do you want?"

"Oh c'mon, I know I was little rough with you back then but can't we put that behind us?" Nene pouted in mock hurt.

She continued to talk while playing with one of her side bangs as she spoke softly with a flirty grin.

"Especially after that little 'moment' between us."

Bruce figured she was talking about that time when he landed on top of her after their mock battle.

"There was no 'moment'." he stated tersely.

But Nene didn't listen, she instead cupped her reddening cheeks and swooned in an exaggerated manner.

"Sure there was. When it comes to me and other guys, I'm always on top. But after feeling that hot rock hard bod over me, I'd GLADLY make an exception."

The Yaksha Princess then grabbed and snuggled up against his arm.

"So when we eventually do it, you can choose whatever position you want, k?" she purred and finished by winking while poking out her tongue.
