Chapter 30 - 29
The next day.
Yuuji and Aika patrolled around the school after their classes ended as part of the Disciplinary Committee. Normally, the chairwoman would've just had a few of the second and third year mbers of the committee do this kind of daily patrols after school and let the freshman return ho for the day.
However, with the number of course 2 students advocating other course 2 students to join the open forum where they will take on the Student Council President and "ask" for an end to discrimination against them that will take place tomorrow, she had every mber of the Disciplinary Committee patrol in fear of troubles arising from conflicts between the course 2 and course 1 students.
Her fears were understandable, given the drastic actions these course 2 students have committed to have their voices heard. But her fear stemd from sothing even more dangerous.
Blanche, the international anti-magic political organization whose manifesto called for an end to magician superiority within politics and eliminating discriminatory treatnt caused by the absence of magical skills. At first glance, the group portrayed a gathering of brave and courageous people who seek justice for those discriminated by their lack of magical skills. However, in reality, they are simply one of the many anti-magic organizations that had delved into terrorism to acheive their own agendas.
Upon hearing from Yuuji, Aika, and Tatsuya about the presence of egalites, youths who have been "persuaded" or exploited by Blanche into becoming their subordinates, within First highschool. The three had seen course 2 students who were advocating for an end to discrimination and persuading other course 2 students to join the open forum wearing tri-colored bracelets which was the symbol of the egalites.
Just from this information, Mari could no longer underestimate the situation as just students demanding for a change without giving any comprehensible steps to achieve it. This was clearly an attack from a terrorist organization to their highschool.
Upon finishing their patrol, Yuuji and Aika returned to the Disciplinary Committee's Headquarters to give their report.
Entering the room after receiving the go ahead from within to their knocking, they saw the chairwoman standing before the window overlooking the courtyard, all alone. Her eyes were narrowed as she failed to hide her anxiousness from her expression.
"Chairwoman. We have completed the patrol for today. No arrests were made."
"No arrest from
too~"
Mari slowly turned towards them and sported a small smile, one that was obviously forced.
"Well, soone has to be either stupid or brave to cause problem when you two are around. Rather than that, I'm more concerned about tomorrow..."
"About the open forum is it...?"
"Yes... We've tightened the guards surrounding the school, but I still couldn't help but worry."
"It will be fine, Chairwoman~ Tatsuya's going to be out there, right~? He'll definitely take them out like they're nothing~"
"Ah... You're right. Soone who could beat that Hattori in a fight would be fine."
"Mm~ Yuuji, Miyuki, , and you will also be there to protect the students inside, so it should be fine~"
Mari sighed and smiled helplessly at Aika.
"You sure are an optimistic one, aren't you?"
"I'm just confident~!"
Aika grinned cheerfully. After all, she knew that Tatsuya, she, and her beloved Yuuji would be able to handle it no problem. And if soone was hurt, she could just secretly heal them.
Yuuji and Tatsuya had been planning a whole lot to decrease the amount of casualties all this ti, but Aika believed she could just heal them secretly even if they were to get hurt. Well, since she didn't want her abilities to be known yet, she might have to make them faint first before doing it.
Either way, everything will be fine! They could just wipe this problem away quickly and then go to the big event she couldn't wait for!!! The Nine Schools Competition!!!
"Mm. Then I'll believe in you to thwart any kind of plans they have. You can leave protecting the students to
and the rest of the mbers."
""Yes!""

The next day. April 23, 2095.
Early in the morning, the "Open Forum Regarding The Elimination of Discrimination in the School" started within the main assembly hall where the matriculation ceremony was held.
Plenty of students, both course 1 and course 2, filled the seats of the massive hall. mbers of the Disciplinary Committee were also stationed in the periters and amongst the student body that attended so they would be able to respond to any problems that would arise.
On the stage were four course 2 students, mbers of egalites, and the president and vice president of the student council.
To the left of the stage, there was only one chair ant for the student council president, who will be the only one participating in the debate to represent the student council. The vice president was there only to protect the student council president and stood behind and slightly to the left of her chair.
To the right of the stage were four chairs prepared for the opposing side, the mbers of egalites. Out of the four, three were filled as one of the mbers took the podium at the center of the stage to make his statent.
"Compared to Course 1 Students, the treatnt received by course 2 students is inferior discriminatory in all ways. Aren't you trying to cover up that fact, chairwoman?"
He returned to his seat, and Mayumi walked up to the podium and took the stage.
"You just pointed out that it was "in all ways". What are you referring to specifically?"
The debate went on back and forth as Yuuji, Aika, Miyuki, Suzune, and Mari stood on the side of the stage behind the curtains, standing by and listening to the debate.
A few monts later, Mari sighed and shook her head.
"This is no longer a debate... It's just "Mayumi bullying her opponents" the show..."
"Well, it is to be expected. Not only does the president excel in logical debate, the opposition were simply wling children who could only cry out loud without giving tangible steps to be taken."
Mari, Suzune, and Miyuki looked at Yuuji in surprise while Aika simply glanced at him.
"Quite the harsh one, aren't you...?"
"Well... I've been warned in the past that "youths tend to shout louder than listen more
