The group was silent as they stared at the distraught blond. What could they say to that? What could anyone say to that when considering the circumstances?
"You wouldn't like it if someone took someone you cared about right...? You wouldn't like it if your friends were hurt in front of you right? So why?..." the nun asked again with tears pouring down her eyes. "How could you hurt Issei-san...and still face you're loved ones...?"
"Stop."
A masculine voice emerged from the shadows of the stairs leading to the underground room, Dohnaseek has arrived.
"There is no honor or justice in any of this little nun, this is simply for the sake of power...nothing else. That is the cruel reality of the world, you could either live with it or fall...and unfortunately you are going to fall. So bringing in moral and theological arguments or attempting to understand this is fruitless...accept your fate." Dohnaseek spoke without remorse.
The young nun just turned away from the fallen and turned her gaze to the ground.
Raynare just stared at the nun before turning her gaze towards her mother who was ordering around her subordinates. After a moment she turned around to leave the building. She ignored the calls of her former teachers and current friends as she left.
She needed some air. Badly.
When Naruto woke up the next day, he figured that Mio would try to ignore him and be somewhat aggressive for the rest of the day. But strangely enough, she seemed to be far more passive than he expected. He couldn't help but hope that she had calmed down a little since then, as a psuedo-older brother he was actually very proud of her!
Maria on the other hand...he couldn't help but notice the dark glint in her eyes as he went about his day, he better watch for any suspicious happenings. No way was he about to be caught in one of her traps!
He decidedly ignored the fact that the bathroom had a stink bug when he went to take a shower.
For now though, Naruto actually decided to do something more productive today and get to school earlier than usual. The only reason he was doing this was to make sure he at least had a record at showing up to school, no doubt his continuous skipping would do damage to Mio's and Yuki's reputation since they pretty much hanged out with each other. He really didn't care for the curriculum, he lived without a proper education before so he could do it again!
But he could do without his friends' and acquaintances' constant attempts of getting him to do schoolwork diligently.
Speaking of which...
Naruto stared ahead at the Kuoh Academy gates, more specifically at the young woman who was greeting the returning students. The shinobi just groaned at the upcoming lecture he would no doubt hear if he got caught. If he could just silently sneak across without the student council president knowing then maybe he could-
"Uzumaki Naruto."
Aaaaaahhhhhhh...
Naruto glanced at Shitori Sona as she gazed at him with a small frown, he wanted to make a break for it but that could make the lecture much worse if he actually got caught later.
"I hear you are still acting out against your teachers? Why must you continuously dodge your responsibilities as a student?" Sona asked with a disapproving glare, which caused Naruto to scratch the back of his head uncomfortably. It'd be one thing if Sona was actually a jerk to him, but Sona genuinely cared about all of the students of Kuoh Academy. So her honest beliefs actually made him somewhat uncomfortable, since he honestly didn't need schooling. He couldn't exactly explain himself to her either, in short no matter what he does, he would probably have to face Sona again.
That left one option.
*POOF*
The student council president blinked as a small smoke cloud enveloped the blond troublemaker suddenly and without warning. She quickly glanced around to see that no normal humans saw the strange application of the strange blond's power before turning back to the cloud. Did he really think that he could get away from his duties? Did he really think he could escape her lecture by using a smokescreen to get away? It was her duty as the student council president of Kuoh Academy to-!
Her internal monologue stopped as she gaped at what she saw.
She expected to see a blond either sprint out of the smoke or attempting to hide. But she didn't see any of that.
A log.
There was a log where the blond once stood.
"...How?"
When did he escape? How did he escape? She was right there! It wasn't logically possible for him to escape when he never left the smoke!
Where did the log even come from!?
Sona did her best to calm herself down as she pushed her glasses back into place. She was quickly coming to understand what her best friend meant when she last spoke to her about the blond mystery.
Logic didn't apply to him.
What a terrifying prospect.
But not an unexpected one.
Shinobi were supposed to be masters of stealth and intrigue.
Naruto sucked at intrigue.
So he would have to deal with stealth, which was being tested by his new designated number one enemy, he never knew they would take it this far...
They wanted two things from him, both were completely and utterly unacceptable! He could swallow his pride for the greater good sometimes, but this...this was not one of those times!
How could they even ask such a thing from him!?
"Where is that blond bastard!?"
"Don't worry Gen-chan! He won't be able to keep this up forever, kaichou and fuku-kaichou won't let him escape easily!"
"Split up for now and notify everyone if you found him! We will cut him off if necessary."
Damn the student council! Stop trying to give me detention! Stop trying to make me go to class for the rest of the year! This is tyrannical damn it!
Naruto quickly turned around from where he was headed, he heard those voices coming from that hallway so he had to find another way out. When he turned around however, he was face-to-face with his new mortal enemy.
"...Sona-kaichou."
"...Uzumaki Naruto."
The student council president of Kuoh Academy stared down the blond menace of the school before speaking.
"Surrender, you are now surrounded and if you come quietly then your sentence to detention will be lessened. I assure you." Sona said while crossing her arms, the blond was indeed surrounded by both sides. Tsubaki and herself covered this side while Saji, Momo, and Tsubasa were cutting him off on the other side of the hallway.
They were on the third floor of the building so it wasn't like he could escape through the windows unless he could fly.
*POOF*
She was beginning to hate smoke.
As she feared, the smokescreen allowed for Uzumaki to escape again. Except this time there was no log to take his place, she was glad that all the students were in class at the very least.
"Don't let him get away!" Sona ordered, which made the rest of her Peerage continue their search for the illusive and annoying blond.
