Chapter 27 - 26
Led by the chairwoman of the Disciplinary Committee herself, Yuuji, Aika, and Tatsuya soon arrived at the headquarters of the committee, and they were imdiately welcod by a... surprising sight.
The large, wooden table at the center of the room was filled with boxes, papers, CADs, and various other things, spared around in a complete ss. But that wasn't the end. The entire room was filled with things ssily spread around, boxes stacked on top of each other, opened boxes that could barely hold the things shoved in there, as well as papers and CADs of various types, size, and shapes, covering the floor to the point that even walking around would risk bumping into or stepping onto sothing.
"Welco to the Disciplinary Committee headquarters! This will be where you'll be spending the majority of your ti while you're not in class or patrolling. So I hope you find it comfortable!"
Mari walked casually into the room, as if the ss didn't exist in her eyes, and welcod the three, who were stunned by the sight, with a smile.
"Uhm... May I clean up this room, first and foremost, Watanabe-senpai? As soone aspiring to be a magic engineer, the state of this room is unbearable for ."
"I would like to help as well, senpai. Even as soone not aspiring to be a magic engineer, this is just..."
"Mm... Even for , this is a little..."
Mari blinked a few tis in surprise.
"Alright... Wait. Tatsuya-kun, why do you aspire to be a magic engineer? With your combat capability, wouldn't you be able to easily get a license?"
Tatsuya picked up a CAD and began cleaning up the fragile devices first before moving on to the others as Yuuji and Aika also began cleaning up.
"No... At my skill level, I can't hope for more than a C-level license."
After a while and with the four of them cleaning up, the room had beco completely different from when they first entered.
Things that were all around the place were put tidily into a box which is moved to a place where people won't bump into them or into a cabinet, and the CADs are also properly placed on the shelves for the mbers' ease of access.
Just then, two males entered the room. One of them was a built man with a strong jaw, square chin, and spiky hair, while the other had a softer, younger look. Both of them were course 1 students, judging by the flower emblem on the side of their shoulder, and a band signifying their status as mbers of the Disciplinary Committee.
"Morning!"
"Good morning!"
"Oh, ane-san! So you're here, huh?"
The man with spiky hair said as soon as he saw Mari present in the room.
"Chairwoman, we have completed today's patrol mission. No arrests have been made."
"Ouch!"
Just then, with rolled up papers in hand, Mari smacked the spiky haired man across the face and continued to beat him on the head.
"Don't call
ane-san! How many tis do I have to tell you that! Is that head of yours just an empty ornant?!"
"P-Please don't beat
up like that!"
"Hmph!"
The man sighed and looked around, and his eyes imdiately widened in shock. The other man, the one with a softer, younger look, also widened his eyes in shock.
"C-Chairwoman, w-why are the two sensations of the school here right now? C-Could it be...? A-Are they joining this committee?!"
"Yes, they are. Let
introduce you. This is Tsubakihara Yuuji and Kiryuu Aika. I fought tooth and nails to have them in our ranks so you better treat them well."
Yuuji and Aika stepped forward and lowered their head in a bow.
"It is a pleasure to et you. I look forward to working with you."
"It's nice to et you~! Please take care of ~"
"My na is Sawaki Midori. Likewise, Tsubakihara-kun, Kiryuu-kun."
Midori shook both of their hands and turned towards his friend. He was being very silent, considering he was boisterous most of the ti.
He saw him staring at Aika in a daze, absolutely srized by her beauty. His eyes were wide and unmoving, and there was a slight blush on his cheeks.
But almost imdiately after, a loud slapping sound resounded as Mari began pounding on his cheeks with her rolled up papers and yelled at him.
"Why are you looking at your juniors like that?! Do you have no manners?! How could you stare at a girl that blatantly!"
"I-I'm sorry! Please, stop that!"
A few more slaps later, Mari stopped with a huff, and the beaten up man finally introduced himself.
"M-My na is Tatsumi Koutarou. Uhm... Sorry for staring like that. I was really surprised when I saw the two of you. I've only heard of you in rumors. I hope I didn't offend you."
"No no~ It's fine~ It's nice to et you, Tatsumi-senpai~"
"It is nice to et you as well."
Koutaro then slapped Yuuji's arms a few tis and grinned widely.
"Oooh! You're really well-built! And now that I can see you upclose, I can definitely say that those rumors weren't exaggerations after all! If I was a girl, then I would definitely be head over heels for you like my female classmates."
"A-Ahahaha... Thank you for the... complint?"
Yuuji forced a smile and held his arm where Tatsumi slapped him. It didn't hurt at all, but the sensation that lingered made him unconsciously hold it.
"Don't mind him, Tsubakihara-kun. A pleasure to et you. I've heard many amazing things about you. I look forward to working with you."
"Likewise, Sawaki-senpai. I will be relying on you from now on."
Midori nodded and turned towards Aika with a soft smile as well.
"Kiryuu-kun as well. I look forward to working with you."
"Hehe~ Please take care of
too, senpais~!"
"Oh! And if you ever have any trouble during your patrols, just say it to your radio. I'm sure all the guys will imdiately co rushing to help you!"
"Hehe~ Of course~"
Well, I won't need them since Yuuji will definitely co to
at a mont's notice~
Aika added in her mind.
Koutaro's grin disappeared after a while as he glanced towards Tatsuya. He then turned back towards Mari and began.
"By the way, Chairwoman... Seems like these two aren't the only new faces here... An emblemless, huh?"
"Tatsumi-senpai, I believe your choice of word may run afoul of the banned words regulations. In this case, the correct term for it would be Course 2 student."
Mari smiled helplessly and crossed her arms.
"You guys, you're going to get the rug pulled out from under you if you think so simplistically like that."
She sat on the wooden table and leaned in slightly.
"Between you and , Hattori just got himself royally tripped up a little while ago."
"Eh?! You an..."
The two imdiately turned their eyes towards Tatsuya in shock.
"...that guy defeated that Hattori?"
"That's right, and in an official match too."
"What the... To think that Hattori, who had been undefeated ever since he entered this school, was defeated by a new student... We've got ourselves not only two, but three phenona, huh chairwoman... This is amazing."
"That's really reassuring! I'm glad we have him on our side!"
Mari then turned towards Tatsuya with a smile.
"Surprising isn't it?"
Tatsuya t her gaze and she continued.
"This school, with its asinine Bloom/Weed labeling, is teeming with people either wallowing in their sense of superiority, or drowning in their sense of inferiority. To tell you the truth, I've been fed up with it all. Fortunately, both Mayumi and Juumonji of the Extracurricular Activities Federation know what kind of personality I have. They've used their recomndation slots to pick people who are relatively immune to those kinds of sensibilities. Their feelings of superiority may not quite be zero and they might not be as... nondiscriminatory as your friends here. But they're good guys who can evaluate others' skills fairly. I don't think this place will be all that uncomfortable for you."
Koutaro then approached Tatsuya with his hand raised towards him.
"I'm Tatsumi Koutaro of Class 3-C. I look forward to working with you. Able guys like you are more than welco here!"
"I'm Sawaki Midori of Class 2-D. I look forward to working with you as well, Shiba-kun. If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask us."
Tatsuya paused for a mont. Even though he had seen this scene happen once in the ani, to experience it in reality himself... This sense of acceptance, and not discrimination was... nice.
He grabbed the hand Koutaro held up to him and shook it.
"I'm a first year student, Shiba tatsuya. Likewise... I look forward to working with you as well."

Within the underground level of his mansion, Yuuji sat behind a desk, looking at the holographic screen before him as his hand typed with lightning speed on the keyboard. At first glance, he seed to be typing on a touch screen or the sort as there was no chanical keyboard. But in reality, it was yet another hologram projected onto the immaculate surface of his desk that would receive input from his fingers just like a normal keyboard would.
It was a technology that needed to get used to, but with his accelerated learning and the overall convenience and ease of use of the technology, Yuuji was able to use it masterfully in but a few days.
By his side was the golden gun-shaped CAD, placed upon a rectangular-shaped device around 30cm by 30cm by 5cm in length, width, and height. It was a device used to connect his CAD to his computer wirelessly, without the need for cables or the sort. It resembled the wireless charging technology he heard of from his mother, who got the info from her friend that worked in a world-leading technological company.
But instead of charging, it could transfer files between his CAD and his computer at high speed, a technology neither his or Aika's world has at the mont. Perhaps, the only other world that has such technology was Suzuki's, given he already has a full, hyper realistic, virtual reality ga.
Yuuji had stayed in his lab for quite a few hours, ever since he returned ho after school. He had learned how to program and use both "Gram Demolition" and "Gram Dispersion" from Tatsuya, and given the fact that he had "Elental Sight
