" Kehehehe!! I know we signed a treaty with your school but it doesn't mean you can crash in our turf uninvited! Ya came here lookin' for a fight, Miss Head Prefect?!"

" Like I said, I just want to have a moment with Sensei. I'm not here to cause any trouble."

Outside the gates of Trinity's campus stood Sorasaki Hina, seemingly surrounded by a large number of JTF members as soon as she was spotted within their district. Despite the situation, Hina remained calm, refraining from raising her gun to avoid causing any trouble for the Trinity students.

" K-Kehe... Kehehehe~!! M-Me?! Give Sensei to you?! ....DROP DEAD!"

Pointing her shotgun at Hina, she mercilessly fired a round, every shell aimed directly at Hina's face. To everyone's astonishment, the bullets merely dented upon impact, as if Hina had effortlessly absorbed the damage. Even the JTF members were shocked as a normal student would usually not remain conscious after taking hits from Kenzaki Tsurugi.

" Kehehehe... She's not the Head Prefect for nothing." Tsurugi grins, seemingly impressed with Hina's display.

" Please... I just need to see Sensei."

Growing more desperate, Hina dropped her gun and bowed before Tsurugi, pleading with her. This sudden display from the Head Prefect shocked even Tsurugi herself; she never expected someone as feared throughout Kivotos as Hina to prostrate herself before a rival school.

" U-Ugh... T-This is not amusing anymore... I don't know what you're planning to do with Sensei but I'm not going to let you--!!"

" It's fine, Tsurugi. I can take over from here."

" S-Sensei~~?! O-Okay!"

Sensei arrived at the scene accompanied by Mika. Tsurugi, who always had a soft spot for Sensei, instinctively responded with an "Okay" as soon as she heard him call out to her, almost as if her body reacted on its own. When her eyes met Sensei's, she immediately bowed her head and clutched her gun tightly, a deep blush spreading across her face.

"Sorry for causing you and your team trouble, Tsurugi," Sensei said, flashing her a warm smile before patting her head in appreciation. "You can let me handle things now. The Tea Party has given their approval."

" A-AAAH!! Kehehehe!! Anything for you, S-Sensei!" nodding her head, Tsurugi turned to her team. " You heard Sensei. Back to your stations!"

" Roger!" the JTF members said in unison, leaving the area one by one.

 Soon enough, only Sensei, Mika, and Hina remained in the area. With Mika in the mix, Hina could only frown in disapproval, and it seemed Mika even shared the same sentiment. The two began a tense staredown, leaving Sensei no choice but to stand in between them just to separate them both. 

" I'm here, Hina. What's wrong? Why didn't you message or call me beforehand?"

Hearing this, Hina lowered her gaze to her feet, struggling to find the right words for her teacher. Suddenly, she clenched her fists, desperately trying to keep her emotions from spilling over. Hina had wanted to seek an answer from Sensei, but just like Iori, she was afraid. 

Afraid of finding out the truth. 

"Let's go somewhere private..." Hina said, taking Sensei's hand and attempting to lead him away from Trinity. However, Mika quickly grabbed Sensei's other hand, preventing Hina from taking him away.

" Mika?" 

"You really thought I'd allow Sensei to go off alone with you? Miss Gehenna student?" Mika's tone was icy as she held Hina's gaze firmly.
