You stayed still in your spot, eyes wide in surprise from what you heard the teacher had said. Even the elite ten were surprised. They were sure that they would be the only ones in a single group, but someone not from the elite ten was supposed to join them.

"Sensei! What do you mean? (L/N)-san isn't part of the elite ten!" One of your members asked. Even they knew what the result of you joining the elite ten meant. "(L/N)-san is not part nor-"

"This was not my decision." The teacher said, silencing the students. "(L/N)-san was one of the candidates to be an elite ten. So her skills are more than enough. Plus, wouldn't you find it unfair that everyone is a group of ten while the elite ten is just four? So why not add someone with the same skill set as them?"

'Since when did the school ever care about fairness!?' You asked yourself, avoiding clicking your tongue at the adult. 'I don't want to be grouped with these people! I just wanna be with my members! Let me go back to my own kingdom!'

"This is the final decision." The teacher said sternly, walking away with the other instructions. "Everyone is dismissed!"

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"You've gotta be kidding me!!" You screamed, completely destroying the pillow you had. "AAAH!!!" You're lucky that the room was sound proof.

"(Y/N)-chin! Are you there!?" Kuga knocked on your door. "(Y/N)-chin? Hello? Are you crying?! You're totally crying right!? Right? Right?" Of course he was happy. You groaned, standing up and walking to the door and opened it wide to show him you weren't crying. "Ah, boo, you're not crying. Anyway, Isshiki said that-"

You pulled him inside, slamming the door. You sigh, plopping on the bed and cried without tears. "Why... why am I with you guys...?" You asked, looking over to Kuga who made himself comfortable in your bed. "Get the fuck off my bed."

"Boo, you meanie!" He pouted, sprawling in your bed. "Why don't you want to be grouped with us anyway? We're the elite ten! We're the best students in the whole school!"

"Because..." You trailed off, your tone going even lower and sadder. "Because... I wanted to be... wait." You paused, sitting up straight. "WHY THE HELL AM I EVEN TELLING YOU THIS!?!"

"HEY! You were the one who started speaking! I just asked!" He argued, sitting up as well. And so, the two of you stood up in your bed, arguing and shouting like two little kids arguing for something useless.

"Ah, the meeting!" Kuga screamed, falling off the bed. "I totally forgot! Let's go!" He took your hand and dragged you outside.

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"Yahoo! I brought (Y/N)-chin!" Kuga cheered as you and him entered Isshiki's room. Everyone stared at you as you planted and heaved for air. "Sorry it took long! Just got in a little argument!"

"Um... are you alright, (L/N)?" Isshiki asked, walking over to you and leading you to sit on the chair. You nodded, still not okay tho. "If you say so..." HE trailed off, pouring some water for you. He began handing everyone white boards and pens. "Now then, let's start with the meeting."

"First, let's think of what to do with the shack." Nene began. "I went ahead and checked the place with Eizan. It's totally dirty and nothing can be used there. We'll have to start by renovating it."

"It's gonna take at least a day or two for it to finish." Eizan added with a sigh. "Getting profit will be harder for us since our restaurant is completely destroyed. Even with my men it'll take a long time."

Kuga sighed, "Then that's a problem..." You sigh, shaking your head at these people. They seem to forget something. You raised your hand. "What is it, (Y/N)-chin?"

You took your whiteboard and began writing, everyone waiting for your suggestion. You flipped it and showed what you wrote. {I can help with the building. I also have connections, not just Eizan. If I call now, they can come here earlier and can start the renovation.}

You weren't any normal student as well. You're the granddaughter of a Totsuki official. Adults have been trying to get on your good side, always thinking you're just a child and easy to manipulate. Well look who's manipulating who now.

"Ah! Nice suggestion (L/N)! How long will it take? How about you, Eizan, how long will it take?" He asked. You and Eizan pulled out your phones and began contacting people.

"They'll be here in an hour." Eizan answered. You nod, telling them that an hour is the best they can do as well. "Now that that's taken care of, let's think of the menu. And where to get ingredients."

"Well, there's a supermarket close by. But I can already guess that the school reduced our budget." Nene added. The others couldn't say anything since even they knew that they would have a reduction in the budget.

"We'll all be getting the budget tomorrow, meaning everyone will be going for the market too." Kuga added. "It's gonna be first come first serve."

"Well... I could get stuff from our farm in the dorms..." Isshiki trailed off, thinking of something. "But I doubt that the stuff we have there can be used for a beach... we don't have seafood or meat... that's on the ready..."

You raised your hand again and began writing. {My RS has a lot of farms. We have a lot of fruit. We can make Anmitsu and Kakigori.} While everyone was reading your suggestion, you gave a quick glance over to Eizan who already knew what you wanted.

"How much do you want?" Eizan asked, making everyone wonder why he would ask that. "Have you forgotten. She's (L/N)(Y/N), an empress who runs an empire. She loves money as much as I do."

You smirked, writing more on your whiteboard. {So, what's your offer?}

"Even in an exam, all you think of is money." Kuga said, pouting his cheeks. "You really need to think that we're in an exam right now!" He exclaimed, pinching your cheek. "You're like a second Eizan!"

Something snapped inside you. Hearing what Kuga said really struck a string. You slapped his hand away, writing on your board furiously. {I'm not Eizan! I don't have a fetish for money!}

Isshiki and Kuga hollered, holding into their stomach, Kuga rolling in the ground. Nene covered her mouth, hiding the smirk that was starting to form. Eizan was red with both anger and embarrassment as he tried to calm down Isshiki and Kuga.

After everyone calmed down, they all returned to their seats and you began to write again. {I'll let you guys use it for --- out of the goodness of my heart!} You slam the board on the table, feeling knives stabbing right through you. Even you couldn't believe what you were writing.

"Ah! That's great! Thank you, (L/N)!" Isshiki said, listing your suggestion from before for the menu.

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

"Ahahaha! You look totally depressed!" Kuga laughed as he intruded into your room once again. "What, what? Are you sad you didn't make any money? I can give you money! I'm super rich!"

"I don't want your money..." You muttered, curled up in a ball in your bed. Kuga sat at the edge of the bed. "UGH! Get off my beeeed!" You groaned, letting yourself fall on the bed, hoping that your legs kicked Kuga. They did not. In fact, they rested on his'. "What are you doing here, Kuga?"

"Well, they asked me to look for you since you looked depressed when the meeting was over." He answered, glancing over to you. It was a complete 180. From the ice block to this depressed goo. "You look like someone just took your food away! You look pathetic!"

He laughed at your suffering, but you didn't have the energy to argue with him at the moment. 'My money... all gone... money... Money...' A comical tear left your eyes as you watched your money fly away. "My money..."

"You and money are meant to be..." He chuckled, sighing, and staring at the ceiling. "Hey," You hummed, telling him to continue. "Why didn't you talk at the meeting? You're talking to me normally."

He waited for an answer and watched as your facial expression turned from sad to the same face that he saw that day. An emotionless face.

"Kuga... I-"

"Empress!" Someone knocked in your door. "May I come in?"

You turned to Kuga, telling him to talk. "Get in!" He said, crossing his legs and looking all cool. "Hello!" He greeted with that grin of his. "What brings you here?"

"Oh, it's the eighth seat..." She muttered, almost uninterested. Well, she always sees the eighth seat during club time. "U-um, can we use the ingredients from our RS? Of course, we'll be using the money we got as our budget... since the ingredients you've personally grown are of higher quality..."

You nod. She cheered as she thanked you and ran off.

"You grow your own ingredients?" Kuga asked, completely surprised by the fact.

"Well, I do. But not all of them. They're all made by my members." You said smiling. "It's all thanks to everyone that we managed to have such beautiful harvests!"

Kuga squinted his eyes at your Cheshire like grin, not believing what you just said. "It's the money, isn't it?"

"Well, what else could it be?" You asked in a straight tone, wondering if he was kidding or what. "Could it be you intruding into my room? Definitely not."

"So harsh."
