Don't look .
The power of the slap wasn't enough to turn my head completely around, I could have still evaded in time if I wasn't suddenly entranced by the scene in front of me .
The two of them got their clothes become disheveled and a lot of skin was currently being shown, the scene left me completely baffled and unable to react appropriately, only after her hand finally landed on my face did I regained some of my clarity back and turned my head while apologizing .
You truly are a pervert, don't turn around or I will kill you .
Mizuki being the peace dove she is tried to say that I at least helped them up, but Erika shot her a glance that was enough to shut her efforts completely, Tatsuya had caught up to us and I found him standing beside me with a burning hand mark on his skin and found myself unable to hold back my laughter, but one ' what ' from the enraged Erika for some reason was enough to get me in check .
After a few minutes seemed to have passed by us while we are still like that, we finally got the signal to turn around, we both apologized for what we just happened to see just now, but the reaction to each of our apology was different, at least on Erika's side, Mizuki had accepted that it was just a simple mistake .
As for Erika, she accepted Tatsuya's apology without an issue, but met mine with insults and accusations of being a complete pervert, a playboy, a scumbag womanizer, widening my eyes at the contrast between her reaction to the same response .
Before I even get the chance to defend myself, I saw that she took hold of Tatsuya's arm and directly fled into the distance, heading to the School Building .
Mizuki noticing the weird expression on my face said :
Don't worry about what Erika said, she must have misunderstood you just now, I don't think that Ryuu-san is a pervert .
" Thank you Mizuki, I'm heading to the school building for my patrol duty, will you be okay here, should I stick around for a bit more time with you .
She shook her head quickly with a blush on her face and almost dropped her glasses as a result, but luckily she stopped in time, then she said :
I will be fine after a while, in fact falling into the situation from before was completely my fault .
After I split from her, I couldn't help but laugh to myself at how comical this situation looked like, after they managed to escape being stuck in the crowds in the morning, their curiosity, or it's more accurate to say Mizuki's curiosity got sparked and she wanted to have a look at the Clubs recruiting .
Then Erika decided to tag along, thinking not much of it perhaps as well, after all they heard that it was always a lively occasion, but they weren't expecting it to be this lively, the situation got out of hand the second they asked for details about a club that caught their attention, the chaos fully unfolded .
The other clubs were like starved wolves and began to surround them, luckily only the females club members and representative were the ones who started pulling them from their clothes, so she did indeed shared some of the responsibility behind this unfolding, but she wasn't completely her fault, after hearing her I had altered my plans slightly and headed towards the bustling schoolyard where the event was held .
After arriving there, the bustling schoolyard become even more so with my appearance, I used Magic to amplify my voice a little, enough for it to reach the ears of all the people who were present that's, then I said :
" I had witnessed a lot of violations to the regulations set by the school, this could end up creating a nuisance to other students and people might get hurt, so I hope that you all would reconcile with one another and each club will rethink of his promoting strategy .
" Each club should have a poster and a manual that already cover and tell others what its purpose was and what benefits could those who joined get, so everything should be peacefully conducted, else I would call this event completely off and there would be no rescheduling it, thank you for all your understanding and cooperation .
As I finished saying this, the whole scene was engulfed by silent, then the whole audience split into two, one part was collectively challenging me to go ahead and try to make them abide by the regulations and another part consist of mostly females showering me with praises .
Looking at the current situation, I understood that there would be a need for me to actually show some of my strength to force these guys to comply, since my family name didn't seem to carry that much weight as I thought, I marked the people with the loudest voices among the crowd and instantly all of them fell down on the floor unable to rise up .
They were the only one kissing the floor, the other students just looked at the current scene with shock and awe, no one dared to even take a breath out loud, seeing that I already started to get the response I wanted, I finally let go of these guys, using Convergence type magic to rewrite the Eidos of Gravity and make the earth suck them into it was enough to teach these guys a lesson .
" Again, I thank all of you for your understanding, now please check the clubs manuals without crowding, those who will create trouble will only get to meet the iron fists of the Public Morals Committee .
After I took a few steps, some people actually started to clap, whistles soon followed, then cheers and so on, I already moved away from the place and as I was heading out, I saw the stall belong to the club which Juvia intended to join, the stall was empty and I started to feel a bit hopeful that they were no longer recruiting members .
I went into the school building and found that there seemed to be a competition between two kendo clubs, a lot of people had gathered around to see the fight, I couldn't help but wonder if there was such a thing on the Public Morals Committee calendar .
One of the duties of the Public Morals Committee was to be the committee responsible for regulating such competitions and oversee them, I dialed Tatsuya and he confirmed to me that he too hadn't heard anything about such a match happening today, so whatever was currently going on, it was most likely another breach in the school regulations .
Heading towards where Tatsuya was currently stationed, I found that Erika was still with him, she frowned at me appearing before her again, but soon her frown turned into a mischievous grin as she looked at the fight in the arena beneath us, she started to cheer loudly too and soon more and more people started to imitate her actions as well .
" Shouldn't we be stopping this ? .
Tatsuya pointed at his jacket pocket and I saw that he was having it get recorded and understood his meaning, it seem that the situation wasn't as clear as I thought it was, I was also a bit curious to see who will come out victorious between the two different school of kindo .
The duel between the two started with the guy charging towards the girl aiming to finish this competition with one clash of training swords, but the girl just kept her composure and regulated her breathing while waiting for her opponent's attack to come at her .
Then the next second, the two had finally clashed and the winner was indeed decided by one move, the girl had won, her opponent's training sword hit her shoulder, while her sword hit the sleeve of his Kendo club uniform, if this was an actual clash of real swords, the girl would have killed him since there was no way the sleeve would be able to stand against the sharpness of the sword .
He would be dead or at least suffering a heavy blow, as for his attack, it might cost the girl her arm, or maybe if she was lucky she will get some deep scars because of it, but either way, she should be able to stay alive, so in this sword fight, the traditional school of kendo represented by the girl had won .
Just as the girl tried to retract her sword training and declare her victory, expecting her opponent to retire and accept the results of their duel, the guy grinned evily and started using Magic on his blade, Sonic Blade was the name of this magic, he directly tried to jolt the sword from the girl's hand, but she had already retracted it and managed to retreat .
Both me and Tatsuya looked at each other then I shrugged my shoulders at him and said with indifference :
" You can handle it .
Instantly Tatsuya jumped into action and few shocked gasps appeared following right after his intervene, then comments about how a Weed become a member of the Public Morals Committee sounded from every direction, this was to be expected .
In fact this was the reason that I let Tatsuya being the one to rush forward first, he too seemed to understand what I was trying to do and just accepted to go along with my wishes, I wanted the person to rush into rescue to be Tatsuya a Weed .
I was now starting to set the chess pieces on the board, getting ready to pull a move that will reshape the rules and the minds of those who are enrolled in this school, starting with making Tatsuya the flag bearer, starting from the Public Morals Committee there will be a chance to rehabilitate this entire school .
Instantly after he appeared, Tatsuya had managed to revoke the magic applied to the training sword, then with using Compound Waves he manged to shake the guy who was violating the rules off balance and right after that came my turn to get involved .
" Erika, if you make an attempt to try and interfere with the Public Morals Committee business I will detain you as well .
Knowing that was how much she loved endorsing chaos, the situation was already heating up, there was no need for her to fan the flames by saying or doing anything reckless, so I needed to warn her regarding the consequences of her actions .
After she just gave me a cold snort as a response and sticking her tongue at me, but for some reason a faint blush crept on her face, I landed in time to help him diffuse the new trouble that arised, the members of this Kendo club didn't appreciate us detaining their club president and in their anger they were more triggered by the fact that a Weed was the one to do it .
They directly tried to resist, but just as they were about to start using their magic, the guy who should be quite dizzy and was laying down kissing the floor and cursed at them loudly and berated them for what they were about to do and telling them to stop at once .
But in their current state of anger, there was no way these guys could listen and back off, but as if the deity was listening to the orders of their club president, the guys who were about to attack were all fixed in place and were standing there with their training swords pointed at us like statues .
Soon and after I sensed that they came back to their senses, I finally let them move again, the fell on the floor one after the other and the first thing they did was to check their surroundings like as if they gone mad with panicked expressions on their faces .
I couldn't find it in myself to blame them for this kind of reaction after all, DEAD ZONE, had indeed that effect on people, dead zone was the name of this spell I just used, it acted on actually preserving human body from the decay of time, at least that was how I intended for it to do at first .
After seeing Miyuki use her Ice Sealing magic, I was slightly amazed at the fact that it deteriorate the activeness of living cells in the human body by a large margin, forcing the mind to shut down all the unnecessary functions of the body system, forcing the body into a hibernation like state .
But as I tried to do the same thing, I met with a problem, I was trying to do the same level of Eidos rewrite as Miyuki, but instead of using the Ice system of magic, I used Black Hole instead, achieving something beyond forcing the body into hibernation .
Absolute Stillness, this was a state where the body was cut off from being affected by the passage of time, the brain completely clocked out, but the person was still alive, he just dead in time .
This discovery made Miyuki almost bite me to death for real, since she was the one who encouraged me to test it on her, the second I did I understood that this indeed was a dangerous power, ignoring Tatsuya berating her for doing something so reckless and warning me against ever trying to pull something like this again .
I focused more on addressing the other properties of this spell, it can not only cut the person body and mind from time itself, but it can even make the person get a taste of what dying actually look like .
It was a terrifying experience, I had put myself through it many times as to understand everything related to DEAD ZONE and how to use it effectively and efficiently, every time I managed to stay in that state for a second more than the previous time and that was the limit, before INFINITY force me to wake up from that state of absolute nothingness .
These guys were reacting like this because of staying in that state of nothingness for a few milliseconds, DEAD ZONE made these guys lose their senses and sealed then in that static void like dimension, they spent almost not even a second there, but to them they were living as a dead people, not a single senses was working and only the black dread was the only thing that accompanied them .
So the second they returned back to life again, the first thing the brain was forced to do was to check their surroundings in a panicked like state, luckily their brains had already processed what just happened them as if walking up from a nightmare and nothing more, if they had stayed there for any more longer period of time, their brain would die of trauma, that's how dangerous DEAD ZONE was .
Now that I think about my actions from a bystander pov, I realized that I still might have overdone it a little bit .
