"Just in case, I'd like to confirm one thing..." Yuuki said.

"What is it?" Mari asked.

"If I understand correctly, whenever a fight breaks out, the Disciplinary Committee has to stop it by force...is that right?" Yuuki asked.

"Well, more or less," Mari said, crossing her arms.

"And that holds true even if magic is being used..." Yuuki asked while closing her eyes.

"Ideally, we'd stop it before they use any magic," Mari thought.

"Excuse me, but...I'm a Course 2 student because of my miserable scores in the practical exam!" Yuuki said.

"That's fine, really," interrupted Y/N's voice. Yuuki's eyes widen and everyone looks to Y/N. "They have Mari to deal with tests of strength," He said, "And I'm only a call away if you need me," he said. Yuuki noticed the emphasis, Y/N was giving her a knowing look.

*BELL RINGS*

"Right, I'd like to continue this after school," Mari said. "Is that all right?" She asked.

Yuuki let out a sigh and said, "Understood..."

She accepted defeat, while Miyuki was happy, a charming smile on her face.

Present Time

~Third Person POV~

The Course 2 students were now in a room, practicing using magic to move a cart back and forth. The faster the cart moves, the higher the magicians magic power.

"Disciplinary Committee?" Mizuki asked from behind Yuuki. Erika was in front of her, while Leo was behind Mizuki.

They were in line to practice their magic. Yuuki having explained the situation to her new friends.

"Yeah, so anyway, I've got to go discuss it with them again after school," Yuuki said as she looked at Mizuki.

"Well, that sounds like a pain in the ass...," Leo said with a frown as his arms were crossed.

Erika was looking back with a frown, her hands on her hips. She turned her head to the front deep in thought.

"Isn't it dangerous, what the Disciplinary Committee does?" Mizuki asked with a hint of worry.

"Jeez...she just does whatever she wants!" Erika said with a frown.

"It's your turn Erika-chan," Yuuki said, as she looked forward.

Erika quickly turned back, "Sorry, sorry! But really, what a load of crap!" She said apologetically.

"Erika-chan?" Mizuki asked.

Erika walked to the interface. She pressed her left palm on the interface, a red glow appeared. A circle of numbers in red color wrapped around her arm.

Erika closed her eyes and took a deep breath, the numbers disappeared, however, the red glow was still there.

She put her right arm straight in front, a purple hexagon appeared below the cart. The cart moved with a relatively fast speed, as it neared the end, another purple magic hexagon appeared, as the cart came to a stop, another hexagon appeared and the cart moved back.

"All right!" Erika said with a smile. She turned around and walked out of the room. Yuuki's eyes followed as Erika walked.

Yuuki moved to the interface with a frown, she pressed her left palm on it. A light blue glow appeared on the interface, Yuuki closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

'Slow...' Yuuki thought, as she squinted her eyes on the interface.

She put her right arm forward, and the cart moved in the same pattern as Erika's. Albeit, a bit slower this time.

Yuuki looked down with a sad expression, 'Too slow...' she thought. 'Is this...the best I can do?' She thought.

~LINEBREAK~

~Timeskip to Evening~

Miyuki and Yuuki were again standing in front of the Student Council room.

'I don't belong here, after all,' Yuuki thought.

Miyuki was staring at her Older sister, wondering what's wrong.

"Excuse us," Yuuki said as she walked in, and bowed, with Miyuki following behind. 'I'll just politely decline,' Yuuki thought.

There were six people in the room, Azusa and Suzune were on the computer, Mayumi was sitting on the chair behind a desk which was on the top right of the room. Mari was standing to her right, with her hands on the desk, while Y/N was standing to her left, looking at what the two were doing.

There was another person who was facing away, looking out the window. It was the last member of the Student Council, Vice President Hattori.

(A/N: Another tool with ego issues.)

"It's Shiba Yuuki," Yuuki said.

"It's Shiba Miyuki," Miyuki said.

"Hey, you came!" Mari said with a smile, waving at them.

"Welcome, Miyuki-san, Yuuki-san," Mayumi said in her friendly voice. Y/N just gave them his charming smile, causing the two siblings to blush lightly.

Hattori turned around with a frown and looked at the two new arrivals.

The tension in the room increased and everyone noticed it. Y/N looked at Hattori while squinting his eyes.

'This guy...someone, turn down this shithead a notch,' he thought, looking at Hattori and shaking his head.

Hattori walked forward, completely brushing off Yuuki and moving to Miyuki.

Y/N leaned down to Mayumi's ear, "Is he trying to act cool or something? Is he still trying to impress you?" Y/N whispered.

Mayumi just giggled lightly, shaking her head at Y/N. She just shrugged her shoulders, "I have no clue, but whatever he's trying to do, it will never work," she whispered back.

"Why?" Y/N asked.

"Because why be with him when I have someone handsome, cute, and funny as you?" Mayumi said with a wink. Y/N just blushed and shook his head. He kissed her forehead and looked as to what was happening.

"I'm the Vice President, Hattori Gyobu," Hattori said with a smile, holding his hand out. "Welcome to the Student Council, Shiba Miyuki," he said.

Yuuki turned around and looked at Miyuki, who frowned and bowed. Not even bothering to shake his hand.

(A/N: Get turned down bitch!)

Hattori quickly recovered from his hand left hanging and turned around.

Y/N clenched his fists, his anger rising. 'To think a Student Council Vice President would do something disgraceful, these fools are gonna get what's coming for them,' he thought. His anger rising, the tension in the room increasing.

"Let's get started, then. A-Chan, if you will please," Mayumi said, trying to break the tension of the room.

"Right," Azusa said, looking at Mayumi from her interface.

"Okay, then why don't we get moving?" Mari asked Yuuki.

"Where to?" Yuuki asked.

"The Disciplinary Committee headquarters," Mari said with a smile. "Since it would probably be easier for you to watch and learn," Mari continued. Mari walked to the door adjacent to her, passing by Hattori who was looking outside the window and Y/N, Y/N smiled and winked at her as she walked. 

Mari blushed and continued walking.

"Ms. Watanabe, please wait a moment," said a male voice, Y/N just rolled his eyes and sighed.

"What is it, Vice President Hattori Gyobushojo Hanzo?" Mari asked, as she stopped and turned around.

"Please don't call me by my full name!" Hattori said with a blush.

Y/N was standing next to Mayumi, covering his mouth trying to hold his laugh in. Mayumi elbowed his gut.

"Ow! What was that for?!" Y/N asked her. Mayumi looked up at him and smiled shaking her head.

"You know what it was for," Mayumi said.

"Okay, then - Vice President Hattori Hanzo," Mari said.

"It's Hattori Gyobu!" Hattori exclaimed, getting a little too close to Mari. Hattori flinched back when Y/N cleared his throat.

Mari sent a smile to Y/N, "That's not a name, it's a government post of your family, right?" Mari said nonchalantly.

"We no longer hold that office. At this school, I'm registered as a Gyobu Hattori..." Hattori retorted. "No, that's not what I meant to say!" He said quickly. A blush forming on his face.

"Then what is it?" Mari asked with a bored expression.

"I am opposed to that first year being appointed to the Disciplinary Committee," Hattori said looking at Yuuki.

"We all know what your thoughts are Hattori, you don't need to sugar coat it, there's already a first-year student, in the Committee this year," Y/N said with an annoyed tone. "You just don't want a Course 2 student in Committee, do you?" Y/N asked with a scowl. 

Mayumi gripped his left hand to calm him down. Y/N sighed and looked at Mayumi with a smile, but then turned to Hattori with a scowl.

Hattori gulped, "No W-W-Weed has ever been appointed to the Disciplinary Committee before," he said in a nervous tone. Looking at Y/N with his eyes wide open, his palms sweating with nervousness.

"It's forbidden to refer to the Course 2 students as Weeds..." Mari said quickly, but with anger in her tone as well. "You have some nerve, uttering that term in front of me," Mari said clenching her fists.

"Glossing over it won't do any good," Hattori said, putting his arms around his back. "Or do you intend to bust over a third of the entire student body?" he asked.

Yuuki looked over Miyuki with a sigh, Miyuki was looking back at her sister over the shoulder, while standing next to Azusa who was typing something on a big screen.

"The Disciplinary Committee's job is to crack down on students in violation of the rules using practical skills," Hattori said with a frown. "A Weed couldn't hack it - their skills are inferior," He said.

'You're a fool to think she's weak, that will be your demise,' Y/N thought, clenching his fists.

"It's true that the Disciplinary Committee is meritocracy-based, but there's more than one kind of practical skills," Mari countered.

"Yuuki-chan has the eyesight and the brains to read activation sequences directly, and accurately predict which spell is about to be activated," Mari said pointing at Yuuki.

"Impossible..." Hattori said turning around and looking at Yuuki. "Even an Essential Singularity-type activation sequence is loaded with data, as much as 30,000 letters of the alphabet!" he said, sweat forming on his forehead.

"There's no way that she could read it in an instant!" He exclaimed Yuuki was just looking at Mari with a nonchalant expression.

"Common sense tells us that there's no way," Mari said. "That's precisely why her skills are so valuable," she said with a smile. "She's sure to become a powerful deterrent towards all those would-be violators who getting off easy because we can never establish their crimes," Mari said looking at Yuuki.

"Also, there's one more reason why I want her on my committee," Mari said, her body leaning on her right leg with her left hand on her hips. "Just as you say, at this school, there's an emotional chasm between the Course 1 and Course 2 students. The Course 1 students police the Course 2 students, but never the other way around. This system has only served to deepen the rift." Mari said with a serious tone.

She looked to Hattori, "I'm just not a fan of the notion of allowing the committee that I lead to foster such a sense of discrimination," Mari said.

Hattori flinched at Mari's stare, he closed his eyes and grit his teeth, he gave Yuuki a side glance.

"President..." Hattori turned around to be face to face with Y/N, who stood a 5-inches taller than him. He staggered back. "As Vice President, I-I-I am against appointing Shiba Yuuki to the Disciplinary Committee," Hattori said. "A W-" Hattori stopped when Y/N squinted at him, "A Course 2 student lacking magical power would be over his head on the Disciplinary Committee!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure," Y/N said with a smirk. "The school lacks the system to measure her power, in a one on one with her, Hattori, even you, would fall before you have the time to initiate a magic sequence. Heck, even I might have a hard time going head to head against her," Y/N said.

"Y/N-san you're being too modest," Yuuki said. Miyuki had a small smile on her face, she was happy that someone complimented her Onee-sama.

"It's true that my older sister's practical tests scores were sub-par, but only because her skills are incompatible with the method of assessment," Miyuki stood up to defend her sister, Yuuki in shock as she looked over her shoulder to her younger sister.
"In an actual battle, my sister would never lose to anyone," she continued.

"Shiba-san..." Hattori said with a sigh, "A magician must recognize everything as it is, calmly and rationally," he said. "Because we possess the power to make the impossible possible, we are expected to train ourselves rigorously to serve the public interest," He said with a serious tone.

"An aspiring magician cannot allow her judgment to be clouded by nepotism," he said.

'Wow, what a hypocrite,' Y/N thought.

"Pardon me for saying so, but my judgment isn't clouded in the least," Miyuki said quickly. "With Onee-sama's true abilities, she could-" Miyuki stopped as a hand came in front of her face. She flinched back to see her older sister looking at her.

It wasn't of anger, it was to tell her to stop and not reveal anything.

Yuuki walked towards Hattori, her shoes clicking against the floor. Her skirt flowing graciously, and her transparent cover flowing, as if the wind was purposely blowing it.

Yuuki stood in between Hattori and Y/N, looking out the window.

All eyes were on her, waiting for her next move.

"Vice President Hattori..." Yuuki said with a pause and looked at him, "Will you take me on in a simulated battle?" Yuuki asked without a hint of fear in her tone.

"What?" Hattori asked, his eyes wide open.

The whole room was in shock, except for Miyuki and Y/N.

"Don't be so arrogant!" Hattori exclaimed, he grit his teeth, "You, a mere reserve!" He said with a scowl. Y/N scowled and made a move to stand in front of him.

However, he felt a soft hand hold him back, he looked down to see Yuuki's hand holding him back, however, she was not looking at him. 

A slight blush on her face. 

"You said it yourself just now..." Yuuki said calmly. "Magicians must strive to be calm, am I right?" she asked. "Not that I want to be on the Disciplinary Committee or anything..." Yuuki said looking at him with a sharp gaze. "But if I'm going to prove that my sister's judgment isn't clouded, I have no choice," she said looking at Miyuki who was looking down deep in thought. 

"Fine," Hattori said with a frown, "I'm going to show you just how much you need to know your place!" he exclaimed.

'Well, Hope he knows how to dig a grave because he ain't surviving this,' Y/N though.
