? A.V? r? vu?? … Haha, this is the first time anyone has ever said that to me. "Akira Mitarai laughed again, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.
"Everyone would say that to you if they could see your true face."
"Didn't you say that using the word 'everyone' was stupid?"
"Yes, but that's what I wanted to use."
"It seems that I'm really hated … Summer Night, you've made me experience a feeling that I've never experienced from other girls."
"Don't call me by my name again." The Grand Mistress of the Student Council frowned.
"You're special. To me, you're the most special woman." Akatsuki Mitarai looked at Seiji's face with a strange expression in his eyes. "I really, really want to obtain you …"
Summer Night felt a chill run down her spine.
That was the look in his eyes.
That icy cold … no, it was beyond icy cold. That indifferent and strange look in his eyes made her feel danger and disgust.
"I'm not feeling very well. Goodbye."
Summer Night started to walk away.
She really didn't want to face this guy again.
Akira Mitarai suddenly reached out and tried to grab her.
Xia Ye, who was on guard, waved her hand and slapped his hand away.
The sound of the slap echoed in the hall, attracting some people's attention.
"Sorry, that was rude of me." Akira Mitarai said gently, "I just couldn't help myself."
Summer Night glared at him.
"Mitarai-kun, don't be in such a hurry to reach out."
"That's right. Although I understand that you want to get close to a beauty, it's important to keep your composure."
"Before you make a move, you should go out and be alone. Otherwise, it's only natural that you get hit."
Some of the words sounded like they were teasing him.
No one noticed the tension between them … or perhaps someone did, but ignored it.
"I'm not done yet. Listen to the end. This is a good thing for you," Akira Mitarai said softly.
Summer Night looked at him coldly.
"Let's make a bet. If you win the next game, I promise I'll never approach you again."
Summer Night's eyes narrowed.
"And if I win, you have to kiss me in front of everyone."
Summer Night frowned in disgust.
"Since you hate me so much, you should be willing to accept this bet." Akira Mitarai smiled.
"As long as you win, you can get rid of me once and for all. And if I lose, it's just a light touch of lips. "
Summer Night was speechless.
"We can let Miura-san be our witness, so you don't have to worry about me breaking my promise in the future."
"I don't know exactly what the game is, but I think it's something to do with Spirit-branded Retainers."
"If you have confidence in yourself and your Spirit-branded Retainers, then you should accept this bet."
Akira Mitarai spread his hands.
"What do you think, Summer Night?"
"Don't call me by my name. I don't need to bet anything with you." Summer Night started walking again.
"You don't dare to bet … Well, it's no wonder. After all, your Spirit-branded Retainer is that famous piece of trash."
The President Grand Mistress stopped in her tracks.
"Haruta Seiji, the infamous piece of trash of the Haruta family, trash that's worse than a normal person, scum that smells rotten from head to toe … I can't believe he changed. It's like a bug turning into a monkey." Akira Mitarai sneered.
"It's a miracle. I think so from the bottom of my heart. But even if it's a miracle, he just turned from a bug into an animal. "
"I can't believe you're trying to rope in a guy like him. Is your situation so bad that you have to pay attention to trash like him? I'm really worried about you. A piece of trash like him is just … "
"Shut up!"
Summer Night's cold voice came out of her mouth.
She slowly looked at him again, her eyes filled with anger.
Akatsuki Mitarai was certain that he had obtained victory when he saw how angry Seiji was.
… …
Seiji received another call from Summer Night.
He was still reading light novels in the pavilion, but he had fruit juice and snacks delivered to him by the waiter. He was relaxed.
"I'm sorry, Seiji."
After he picked up the call, he heard her apologize.
"What's the matter?"
"I agreed to a duel … with Akatsuki Mitarai," Natsuya said in a low voice.
"For the rest of the game, if I win, he will never come near me again."
"But if he wins, I'll have to … kiss him in front of everyone."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive." Summer Night sighed.
"Everyone is impulsive at times … Did that guy say something bad?"
"Yeah …"
The president, the Grand Mistress, could be provoked … She was a young girl, after all, and there was a limit to how much she could control her emotions when facing someone she hated. Seiji understood.
"Since you agreed, then fight with all your might. As your Spirit-branded Retainer, I'll do my best to help you win. "
"Thank you … Seiji."
"Don't mention it. I told you not to worry about me. If you can't take it anymore, then fight bravely! I'll support you no matter what. " Seiji laughed. "If I had been there and heard that guy say something unpleasant, I might have made the first move."
Summer Night smiled as well.
All the negative emotions she had accumulated from her conversation with Akira Mitarai were now gone.
His voice had such power … to her.
Summer Night was confident that she would win.
…\ r
It was time for the game to begin.
Under Shunsuke Furukawa's lead, the Spirit-branded Retainers left the mansion and entered a courtyard … a field in the middle of the forest.
A barrier had been set up around the field to block out the wind and snow. The temperature was controlled as well, so it was comfortable.
A luxurious round table was set up next to the field. All the young Yin-Yang Masters, including Summer Night, sat around it on luxurious soft chairs.
Seiji walked up to Summer Night, and the other Spirit-branded Retainers also walked up to their masters.
The host of the game was Ryouta Moritama. He had curly hair, wore glasses, and was dressed in plain Sakura Island clothing.
He explained the rules of the game in an easy-going manner.
The rules were that the Yin-Yang Masters would play cards around the table. The cards they would play were poker cards plus some special cards. The special cards had different uses, and the most important one was the Spirit-branded Retainer card that everyone started with. There were three battle cards, and one cooperative card.
Battle cards allowed players to "battle" any opponent. The Spirit-branded Retainers of both parties would have to battle each other, and the winner of the battle would be the winner.
The winner could steal two cards from the loser's hand except for the Spirit-branded Retainer, battle card, and cooperative card. The winner could also discard two cards from their hand except for the Spirit-branded Retainer and battle card for points.
A Yin-Yang Master could not "battle" any more opponents that he had already defeated. In other words, the winner could not challenge the loser, but the loser could challenge the winner.
When a Yin-Yang Master initiated a "battle," he could use the cooperative card to help his Spirit-branded Retainer.
If a Yin-Yang Master lost three battles, he would lose his Spirit-branded Retainer card and lose a large amount of points. If he kept a battle card in his hand, he would also lose a large amount of points in the final round.
To put it simply, the Spirit-branded Retainer card was the Yin-Yang Master's trump card, and it had to be saved until the very end. And the Spirit-branded Retainer card had to be discarded. This meant that each Spirit-branded Retainer had to "battle" at least three times!
Seriously injuring the opponent is forbidden until the end of the trial.
