Chapter 17

SHIBA MIYUKI

After the whole Blanche incident, things at school returned to normal, and the administration and the school began their preparations for the Nine School Competition. It was one of the most religiously watched sporting events in Japan and was a point of contention and pride for all the participating students.

First High was no different, and so she found herself in the council room alongside her brother, who had been called as well for some reason.

"You called for me, Mayumi-san," she asked politely, and the senior nodded.

"I did. As the most celebrated incumbent student, you are to be a part of the Nine School Competition. You are our Ace in the Newcomer's division. So, I have called you here so that we may decide on the events that you wish to take part in," she said, and she nodded.

"What about Inei-kun? Has he made up his mind?" she asked, looking towards her cousin, who sat there with a book covering his face. He slid it down and nodded.

"Yeah, I will be taking part in the Ice Pillars Break and Monolith Code," he replied, smart of them and interesting.

"Though I have offered my protests in this regard, in regards to being named in a team with that orange-haired monkey," he added with a sigh, and the President's eyes narrowed as she chuckled, and the rest of the council members groaned, telling her that this was a regular occurrence at this point.

"Please refrain from insulting your classmates, Inei-kun. No wonder you don't have any friends," she rebutted as Inei-kun placed a hand on his heart, faking a pose.

"Such hurtful words," he moaned as Mayumi-san shook her head and turned towards her once again.

"Regardless of our melodramatic undersecretary, Miyuki-0san, have you given it any thought?" She nodded, for she had.

"Yes, I believe I would be best suited for Pillar's Break and Mirage Bat," she replied, and the senior nodded.

"Well, the truth is she would win anything you put her in," Inei-kun's voice cut in from the side.

"Ohh, that is high praise, Inei-kun," Mayumi-san said with a raised brow as Inei-kun put down the book and sat a bit straighter.

"It is what it is. If Monolith Code wasn't a male-only event, I would pick her to be my teammate," he said, and Mayumi-san seemed startled by that declaration.

"Well, that is a surprise. But you already have your task. We have won the tournament two years in a row, and I wish to make it a hat trick, so you will have to do your duty," she chastised him, and he nodded with a groan.

"Yeah, yeah," he replied.

"May I ask why I was called to this meeting?" her brother asked from the side.

"Ohh, Shiba-kun. I believe you are here because your name has been recommended by a certain someone for a very prestigious position," and the way she eyed Inei-kun told Miyuki that it had been his word.

"For what?" her brother asked.

"You shall be part of the engineering and advisory division during the competition," she declared.

"And am I right in the conjecture that the recommendation came from Inei-kun?" her brother asked.

"Yes," Mayumi-san did not deny it.

"And you are so trusting of his words?" he asked, and she nodded.

"When it comes to magic and food, I am!" she claimed passionately,
