The deed was done, Kujira and Medaka's action had convinced Kudo to confront Kumagawa, eben though the uperclassmen's words might have indicated otherwise. Now all they can do is to wait for the results.

Medaka:What he said earlier turns out to be correct, the Student Council President isn't a hero. Hinokage Kudo is the hero!

Kujira:...Right. He comes off as a pretty nice guy, but he still pisses me off. However, if he's as powerful as you'd make him up to be, isn't that fine? Didn't you come here in the hope that the great hero would take up arms and defeat that Kumagawa?

Maguro:It's not that easy, Kujira-chan.

Medaka and Kujira remained in the classroom they meet up with Kudo after the former President left. After some time since his departure, Maguro came to them.

Kujira:Wait...Why are you even here?

Maguro:Of course, I was worried. I can't let my cute little sisters to face the trauma of a gruesome sight by themselves.

Kujira:...Gruesome sight?

Maguro:What you said holds merit. Through Class 13, even counting the members of the Flask Plan, Hinokage Kudo is truly extraordinary. Truly, he is a hero. Truly, he posseses almighty strenght. However...

Medaka:...If strenght was enough to stop Kumagawa, then I would have done so in middle school. If it were something that easy, I wouldn't be this rushed. In fact, I wouldn't even have come here if that was the case.

Kujira:Man, things became so serious all of a sudden? Kurokami, I understand how you feel and all...But how long do we have to stay here? School ended ages ago!

Medaka:If we leave this room, we'll forget everything about former President Hinokage. Not only that we came seeking his help, but that he was fighting alone in our behalf. To prevent that, we need to stay in this room.

Something was definetly wrong here. Medaka was being way too formal and Maguro was way too quiet.

Kujira feels that she doesn't get the full picture here. Yet, there was undoubtably this nervousness in the air.

The bandaged girl was getting quite annoyed by the leaking sound that was heard in the room. Were the pipes defective?

With a sight Kujira looked down tired. However, her one visible eyes opened white after what sge saw.

The sound wasn't coming from the pipes. Medaka was clentching her right hand into a fist so hard that her nails broke through her skin, blood pouring on the floor from her hand.

It wasn't a small amount of blood either. Yet, Medaka didn't even seem to notice.

Medaka:...I'll be happy if he returns in one piece. If not, then at the very least he runs away while he still can.

Kujira:...This Kumagawa sure is quite the character. I haven't even spoken to him yet. I haven't even meet him propely yet. Yet, he already makes shivers go down my spine.

Medaka:That is the appropiate reaction.

Maguro hummed in thought. She said a lot, but it was more than that.

If you looked through how Medaka speaks about Kumagawa in detail, you can see it. She certainly has no liking to the minus, yet there was a cold respect in her words.

Hinokage Kudo was considered the strongest in all of Hakoniwa. Yet Medaka stated that him getting away from Kumagawa in one piece would make him very fortunate.

Maguro loved his sisters dearly, but he wasn't blind to their faults. Although Medaka might preach about wanting a peaceful academy, she was seeking conflict as well.

Medaka might have not been aware of it, but she was hungry. She became very hungry since the moment she saw Kumagawa once again.

Subcounsciously, Medaka desired to fight Kumagawa once more. Sge had probably waited for this since the day their fight had destroyed Hokobune.

She might be unaware of it, or she might just deny it to herself. But deep within her Medaka knew that Kumagawa was the one that can truly match her.

Kudo:Kurokami, don't go make fun of your predecessors so much. Who did you say was going to run...Is what I'd like to say. But I can't really act so cool in the sorry state that I am in right now, can I?

The door of the classroom slided open and Kudo's voice was heard. However, what made Kujira shift hee gaze to the door wasn't the hero's voice, but the intensified sound of leaking that didn't come from Medaka this time.

Kudo was leaning over the door frame to support himself, having come back from his crusade with oversized screws. One was stabbed through his knee, one was stabbed through his thigh and one was stabbed through his shoulder.

Kudo couldn't maintain his confident smile anymore and neither his balance, hissing in pain with a frown as he fell on the ground. However, Medaka looked like him with a confusing amount of joy.

Medaka:F...Former President Hinokage! Y...You're alright! That's great news!

Kudo:...You call this alright?

Even in the pain he was currently in, Kudo found himself still able to criticize Medaka's common sense. He was not at all alright.

Good thing he thought fast in his feet at how to escape. If Kumagawa would've put a bit more pressure while holding Kudo down with his foot, the hero is pretty sure that the minus would've actually broke his spine.

Medaka:Of course! His mother was there, wasn't she? That Kumagawa, even he has love for his parent! He's a lot more tame when she's around!

Kudo felt his body shaking as his memories resurfaced. How Kumagawa let him strike him again and again without even bothering tobprotect himself.

Than all of a sudden the tone changed. Kudo was on the ground bleeding and powerless seeing only darkness taking a human shape above him with a big smile on said darkness's face, the hero's very brain being incapable of accepting the thought of Kumagawa being an human being.

Kudo:Kurokami...What the hell were you fighting against all this time?
