POV: ???

"You're trying to drop a hint here, aren't you?" I asked the person who will be in charge of the deed for me, and my will in the future soon enough.

"No no." The female figure replied. "There are no such hints that I need to hide from you. After all, he was the one you were aiming for. I have my own target."

"So will we be cooperating? To discard them?" I asked.

"If it's possible, then I believe we can. With 4 of us working together, they won't have any chances to handle us." She replied.

"Then it is settled that we will be cooperating then." Said an old male figure.

"It is what it is. You should even be grateful that I'm willing to cooperate with you after everything you've done." She said.

"Everything you will accomplish will be returned with honor." Said the man.

There was nothing but eternal silence within the room. One might be discomforted by the possible outcome, one will be satisfied, as long as the goal will be achieved.

POV: Torikachi

I am feeling weird today...

In a bad way.

Everything I've done now is according to my plan, but I'm feeling something horrible is approaching.

My sister is here, so I must act more cautiously toward every plan in the future.

She might not have the knowledge of this world that I am fully aware of every outcome, but she could cause a disturbance the longer she stays here.

I will settle things with her after this annoying pairing exam. Until then, I have the perfect candidate to expel.

The evidence I submitted could cause them expelled, sooner or later.

All I need to do is to snap, then they will be done for.

As for my sister, I do not intend to do anything to her at the moment.

It could be solved peacefully, or be solved in a hard way depending if things escalate.

Or perhaps, I'm just thinking too much. It's already 2:30 AM anyway, and I still have class tomorrow.

'I guess old habits never die...' I thought as I remember how much I stayed up late during my previous life.

*time skip towards the end of the exam.

It seems like everything happened according to the original plot from the light novel series, and the scores remain the same...

Except for me of course.

The scoreboard in front of me currently displayed the score of everyone in the class, which did not change much compared to the light novel.

However...

"Huh... Torikachi... scored the maximum across the board?" Said a male voice, who happened to be one of the perverts in the class, Ike Kanji.

Indeed, I already intended to score maximum across the board in order to protect myself.

However...

"Torikachi, your total score with your partner is 950, which is currently standing in first place in this exam. You will receive your rewards after today's announcement."

Now this is getting interesting, as I had my doubts about my so-called sister scoring a little bit lower than 90, as her OAA suggests her average to be around 81 in terms of Academic Ability. Perhaps, she paid the private points in order to buy the test score.

I can see that Kiyotaka's score is also at the steak, as expected from him to act according to the series to score 100 in Maths, for a silly bet with Horikita Suzune just to get her into the student council.

I do not mind about it, as it will be easier for her to be the next President compared to Ichinose.

Speaking of her... I am wondering how she had been since the last time I spoke with her. It is not about me worrying about another girl other than my current girlfriend, but I could not help myself but wonder about the amount of affection she now has toward Kiyopon at the moment.

I noticed the citrus perfume she used for the past couple of days already, ever since the rumors event during our nearly final midterm last year died out.

Never mind about it, I should talk about my class at the moment:

Everyone seemed to be happy about the result, but now most of the boys doubted me because I managed to score full marks across the board.

"Even though I would like you guys to not question me about my scores, I would have to tell y'all sooner or later," I told the class loudly as I took a deep breath. "This is... not beyond my capabilities towards academics. I could sense a memory of jealousy from you, Yukimura."

I turned my gaze towards Yukimura, who happened to be mad about Kiyotaka more than me. "I supposed you mad at him more than me myself, huh..."

I returned to the class podium. "Yukimura, I could explain to you about Kiyataka's reasoning of trying to achieve full marks in Mathematics, so sit down first."

"Y-you acquainted with him, Torikachi?" Asked Yukimura, who is currently expressing his somewhat angry expression.

"Longer than you, yes." I calmly answered. "Listen up, everyone. The reason why I decided to get a full mark on only this written exam is that my so-called sister is here."

"Why does that concern you, Torikachi-kun?" Asked Matsushita, who is also in a confused expression. "Yes, you told us that you were left abandoned by your parents, but should that mean you should stay away from your family?"

"I am fully aware of it, Matsushita." I answered. "She might be plotting something towards those I dared to care about, and my apologies. I could not let any of you guys involved in any danger, especially with others' family matters."

"So she threatened your girlfriend or something?" Asked my other classmate, Haruka Hasebe. "Jeez... I didn't know your family was so screwed up..."

"Not like she threatened my girlfriend, at least I am trying to prevent such an event from happening." I said. "I had no other choice but to comply with her offer for pairing up with me, during the state of me distrusting my relatives."

"So what about Kiyopon?" Asked Hasebe. "Why did he score full marks only on Mathematics?"

"Right about time I wanted to explain that." I said while turning my gaze to Kiyotaka, nodding my head to signal him to speak for him.

He returned my signal with a nod, once.

"Probably one of the main reasons why Kiyotaka chose to score on Mathematics because of a bet he made with Horikita-san, am I right?" I turned my sight towards the mentioned person.

"Yes, now I have to be allotted to the Student Council." Replied Horikita. "Just like you said, it was a silly bet, nothing more."

"B-but why..." asked someone in the class.

"I would like to dismiss this discussion any further." Horikita cuts the other person. "Now, Torikachi-kun, what are you going to do next? It looks like someone is looking for you outside the classroom."

About the time that the person who is currently peeping into the classroom happened to be Shizu, a so-called sister of mine.

"I will see y'all momentarily..." I said quietly as I leave the classroom to meet up with that person.

*move forward into the special building while class 2-B is still in the middle of chaos.

We are currently inside the special building, where cameras are barely visible, and very few selected only able to view the scene both me and the girl in front of me standing.

"I suggest that you have some explanations to do, Shizu." I said with a colder tone compared to the last time we exchange words.

"First of all, I wanted to congratulate you, Onii-san. You managed to achieve full marks across the board. I expect nothing more from you." Replied Shizu while clapping her hands slowly, showing the sarcasm she has towards me.

"So, you managed to score at least 90s across the board too. I already expected you to backstab me early on at this time." I continued. "I was wrong about that. It sounded like you wanted to stay in this school a little bit longer."

"I am trying to prove my innocence to you, Onii-san." Said Shizu with a saddened expression. "You still don't believe me, even though I tried to score 90s across the board..."

"It's not like that." I said while changing my tone. "I just have trust issues towards them. You didn't even try to look at me when I was left abandoned back then."

"It's not my fault, Onii-san..." said Shizu while soothing the tears from her pupils. "They told me to do it, I had no choice..."

"You were following their order?"

"I'm afraid, yes..." She replied. "I'm sorry that I couldn't save you back then, at least let me save you now..."

"I'm afraid it's too late for you to do so." I replied. "I now have someone to rely on instead of the burden I once gave to them."

"Onii-san... You've always been too kind for your own good..." said my sister while grabbing the front of her shirt. "I really, really loved how gentle you once were towards me... You even tried to use violence, a weapon that you never dared to lay your hand on, just to protect me from the bullies at that time. You still... remember that time, Onii-san?"

Speaking of that, let's talk about my past in this world a little bit...

*flashback

POV: 3rd Person

A pair of twins, a boy, and a girl, perhaps around the age of 9, walking to school together, wearing school uniforms, chatting about all the things as normal children would. As innocent as the sight is, things will get worse by the time they set foot inside the school grounds.

"Ne, ne, Shizu-tan! Wanna play a game with us??" Asked a boy who happened to be taller than the twins, while there are other boys, wearing their uniforms torn out, not following the school's criteria of wearing their school uniforms.

As much as the twins wanted to deny the offer, the other boys are much taller and stronger for the boy, the other person of the twin, to handle.

"Spare me... I don't want to get involved with you guys at the moment." Replied the girl while grabbing her brother's hand. "Let's go, Onii-chan!"

Kizutsu Shizu, her beauty at that time was not a thing for her to get scoffed at. Her cuteness was once rivaled by any girls around her age, with silky smooth long hair, dyed black. That girl, perhaps was a cheerful and wonderful girl, who wished nothing but happiness to occur upon the people she cares about.

Kizutsu Torikachi, is a normal boy, with very ordinary physical traits, not much to compare with other boys around his age. Black curly hair, black eyes, smooth face. However, one of his charming points, now gone, was his kindness towards anyone. He was once never afraid to forgive anyone who dared to harm him, even bearing the insults and pain that his classmates and bullies, like Shizu's pursuers, once gave him. He would be a person that an outsider would say that "he's too kind of his own good." or "This kid won't be fighting anyone".

Torikachi, the boy at the time of the incident, once tried to ignore the pursuers of his sister, keeping up with her sister's pace as Shizu drags him to their class as soon as possible.

However...

"I insist." Refuted Shizu's pursuer while attempting to grab her other hand. "Come play with us, and let's have some fun."

The attempt of grabbing Shizu's hand was futile, as his hand got slapped away by her so-called brother, Torikachi.

"Don't..." said Torikachi, maintaining his gaze on the pursuer. Torikachi's tone changed, implying threats with struck upon the other boy if he tried to step up.

As awkward as it looks, Torikachi can be considered to be very protective of his sister. As a brother figure, he's trying to protect his sister away from danger.

"Is this, a threat? Don't make me laugh my ass off, you weakling." Said the pursuer, with his followers laughing like it was the end of the world. "Boys, y'all know what to do!"

The end of the world for them, at least.

"Shizu, you should go class first. I will handle this." Said the brother of the twin, Kizutsu Torikachi. "You should not worry about me anymore. You would not want to see the upcoming results."

"Onii-chan... are you sure you wanted to do this?" Asked the sister of the twin, Kizutsu Shizu. "This is the tenth time you tried to do this, yet you..."

"What did I tell you about my well-being now, Shizu?" Torikachi cut off his sister's words while patting her head. "There's no need to worry about this foolish brother of yours. I will settle this once and for all."

"They are bigger than you, Onii-chan... there's no way they will stop after this!" Shizu said out loud as if she tried to give her brother a warning.

However, he did not listen to her wishes but chose to keep moving towards the bullies.

"This time, I won't be forgiving y'all anymore." Said Torikachi with a sharper and colder voice. "This is the first and last time I will do this. Come to me, and I will be sure that you won't have the future you ever wanted anymore."

The smile that used to be displayed on Torikachi's face, even though it was still a smile, it was not a smile of ignorance and forgiveness...

Even though it sounded vague, Shizu was unsure about his wording, but running away as the only option for her to do so, head straight to the class as soon as possible, which happened to be on the second floor.

*moments later...

POV: Kizutsu Shizu (young version)

I am currently sitting inside the classroom, preparing my pencils and books for the first period of the day.

'How many times had my brother done this, just to protect me...?' was a question I always had whenever my brother decided to be involved for my well-being. Yes I am very grateful for my brother's wish to keep me save, but I could not save him anytime. Every time he tried to protect me, he always return to the class late, with at least a few bruises on his face and arm, but refused to say anything about it. He did not tried to do anything towards the bullies, as he thought he could be their punching bag for any longer.

"Your brother seems to be late again, Shizu-chan." Said one of my classmates, who is currently sitting next to me. "Is he trying to stop them again?"

"I'm afraid so..." I replied formally. "Seriously, this is the tenth time, and yet he still wanted to be like that. Just being late would get our class's score to drop again like last time."

"I don't know about it, but Torikachi-san usually returns to class with a lot of bruises, but he didn't say anything to the teachers to stop them from doing so."

"If he tried to say anything to them, it would get him even more trouble, he said..." I replied. "But honestly, it would be easier if he did so, delaying it would cause him no good."

Perhaps, the reason why Onii-chan didn't tell the teachers about it was for the fact that Mama and Papa always implied their thoughts to him. One night, I heard loud scolding coming from Onii-chan's bedroom, including "Boys supposed to be strong, always protect, keep on fighting, must be silent." I tried to ignore it, but I could not help myself but wonder why do that to him so that he always being so forgiving towards the bullies.

Every time Onii-chan returned home with bruises, Mama and Papa would scold him more and more. Even though I tried to explain to them about protecting me, they ignored it and focused their negativity towards Onii-chan instead of me.

With that being said, our class continued as usual, as our teacher was already familiar with Onii-chan's tardiness in the class.

30 minutes had passed, no signs of Onii-chan's footsteps outside the hall, only words from Sensei lecturing us about moral senses in the class.

40 minutes had passed, and the disturbing sound of an ambulance can be heard from a distance as if it is getting closer and closer to my ears.

2 minutes later, the ambulance stopped at right in front of our school.

"Don't tell me..." I murmured as I stand up, ready to go to the previous location where we stop the bullies first.

"S-sensei. The ambulance...!" I shouted. "I think we should go see what is going on!"

"Wait, Kizutsu!" Sensei replied. "I suggest we should head out to the front of the school to see what happens, all of us. Let's go."

Even though we had to stop the class, what is happening at hand is more important for the time being.

*5 minutes later

We are outside the school, standing on the school ground as the ambulance brings unconscious bullies, covering their bodies, and dripping blood more and more onto the ground.

I could see Mama and Papa standing outside, talking to the nurses, perhaps wanting to see me, or anything else related to Onii-chan.

I asked Sensei if I could go see them for a moment, as I wanted to ask them the reasons why they are there. Sensei saw Mama and Papa; then complied with my request to see them.

"Mama, Papa, why are you here?" I asked them while grabbing their shirts. "Where is Onii-chan...?"

"Listen, Shizu." Said Papa. "Don't talk about your brother again."

"W-why... why not letting me see Onii-chan...?" I repeated my question, as I wanted to see if Onii-chan is okay or not. "Where is he now...?"

"Your Onii-chan... he died because of heart disease. We should not interfere with him anymore." Mama replied. "We should have told you earlier, but we couldn't find a right time to do so."

"W-what about me...? Will I be like him too...?" I asked. "What did Mama and Papa do to him in the past couple of weeks?"

"Silly, Shizu. You are our daughter, as you should." Replied Mama, changing her tone into a deeper and more threatening one. "You shouldn't know anything about it. You will regret if you dare to step further."

"O...Okay..." I would wish to step into it further, but they warned me about it, meaning there will be punishment for me if I do so. Even though I could not help myself but wonder if the one covered with a clean blanket Onii-chan died or not. If he died, then he would have any blood by now.

*flashback ends

POV: Torikachi

Even though my death because of heart disease was clearly false from the information they gave to Shizu, she clearly saw me inside Haru's orphanage.

"I do remember such past, and I refused to speak anything about it any further." I replied to Shizu. "Now that we are done speaking about such terms, how about we talk about you, Shizu? What happened after my disappearance?"

"I guess you are right... so a lot of things happened by the time you were gone, Onii-sama." Continued Shizu. "Right after your disappearance, the Kizutsu family received a lot of donations from others through the news, even though the fact that the news was staged, I had been told to keep my mouth shut. Even a person called 'Ayanokouji-sensei' by my parents, donated us enough so that we had the riches we right now."

"But until a few months ago, before Christmas, they got assassinated, I think Tsukishiro, was his name, asked me if I wanted to get revenge. And now I am currently in this school because Tsukishiro thinks that I wanted to take my anger out on you. He told me that because of you that Mama and Papa got killed."

So that might be the main reason why Shizu decided to go to this school. There might be other reasons why she chose this school, but I would not want to dig into it for now.

"He hired you, didn't he?" I asked. "Is there anything else I needed to know about you? You aren't involving any special exams, aren't you?" There are still doubts about her involvement in the main story, which is the 20 million points bounty on Kiyotaka, but that will be taken care of shortly after this conversation.

"Oh, yes... I have to tell you that I did get involved in another special exam..." Shizu answered, but I cut her right off.

"From the student council President, I assume?" I asked. "That will be taken care of shortly after this."

"How did you know?" Asked Shizu, nearly bursting out her tears. "There is no need for you to get involved in this. Just let me save you, for the first time ever..."

"The job from the student council is very dangerous for you to do so, and I will end it once and for all." I replied while putting my finger on my mouth, keeping myself quiet. "There is no need for you to protect me. I am fully aware that I do not deserve to be trusted, nor I deserved to be saved by anyone. Even though I'm not trusting you, I will give you the opportunity to live like a student, Shizu. After all, you are still my little twin sister, from my point of view."

"Onii-sama..." Cried Shizu, who could not help herself any longer, and rushed towards me with a hug while crying out loud. "You know how much I missed you...?"

There are no reasons for her to hide her tears inside the special building. There are no other observers aside from me, who get to witness this scene.

The overwhelming emotions that Shizu had gone through in her life had been messy enough, as her cries echo can be heard throughout the hallway inside the special building. I hoped that the misunderstanding between us now has been settled, at least I hoped it would.

"I'm sorry, Shizu. If you wanted to save me, I had already been saved by someone else..." I murmured without Shizu hearing anything.

'After all, you are nothing but my sister, and I will care for you only because you only are my sister.' I thought as I returned her with a hug, letting her cry with her heart.

*a few minutes later

Shizu's cries slowly died out, as if she had used all her tears enough.

"So, with everything seeming to be settled for now, how about you introduce me to your girlfriend, for now, Onii-sama." Said Shizu, starting another topic. "Didn't we settle that when we set our deal last time?"

"Fine, fine. Search class 2-A and you will find her later on. You should go now. I need to do something else at this place." I replied as I put my finger on my lips, signaling Shizu to leave as quietly as possible, as I tried to imply someone is currently watching us from the distance.

Shizu noticed my unusual expression and nod her head, leaving the chilling hallway of the special building quietly, to the point I could not hear it after 5 steps Shizu walked.

There is one more thing I need to do, as I wanted to call the person hiding in the shadows who happened to observing us for a few minutes now.

"So, what wind brings you here...?"

============================================================================

Yahallo!!!

I am here to upload a new chapter again!

I was busy with a bunch of college assignments and such and tbh I'm currently enjoying my time at school.

So yeah, I was a bit busy with a bunch of schoolwork and entertainment a bit too much that I'm starting to realize how much I haven't updated any of the chapters in this fanfic.

Anyhow, here's a chapter for you guys, as well as the end of V1Y2. I supposed there's nothing much going on cuz I haven't read any of the Y2 volumes, only read the spoilers on the Wiki, Reddit, and Discord.

Btw Im out of drafts right now, so yeah, might take me a while to start V2Y2 since idk what the hell happened in there. Like, I want to know the main events since I forgor the spoilers. I could just look up the wiki in the meantime.

That's all folks!

PEACE!!!!!
