Two Girls Fighting Over Their Teacher (5K)

Don't want...

I don't want to...

Someone... someone save me...

With her mouth gagged, she couldn't utter a single word, only letting out muffled sounds, which only made the thieves laugh even more wildly.

Feeling her body being constantly jostled in the carriage, her despair intensified.

However, just as she was silently shedding tears, a melodious cry suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, she felt the carriage disembark.

Jingle--

Jingle--

She heard a sound as clear and melodious as a bell.

The moment she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

A figure appeared at the end of the road.

However, the moonlight was too bright, and the person's appearance was not clearly visible. The only thing that could be seen was that the person was wearing a blue and white kimono that resembled moonlight, and that a folding fan in their hand was slowly opening.

Four tails slowly grew from her back, appearing like a four-tailed fox in the bright moonlight.

But this alone was not enough to terrify the thieves.

To their horror, a figure appeared above the full moon and strode towards them.

His coat was as black as night, and the magic circle in his pupils, a blend of scarlet and crystalline blue, was dazzling.

Those eyes were enough to reflect the terror in Ye Tian's eyes!

Immediately afterwards, the man brandished his sword.

With just one sword strike, the three thieves on the carriage were decapitated and mercilessly torn to pieces by the incoming sword wind.

Hot, dripping blood was splattered all over the ground.

The elegant yet powerful swordsmanship left an indelible mark on her young mind.

And from behind the carriage came screams of agony.

It was a golden figure, completely different from the previous white and black ones. Its long hair shone like gold, and it was unforgettable at first glance.

As she drew closer, her face, as pure as a saint's, and her eyes, as beautiful as jewels, made her feel even more ashamed of herself.

It wasn't until she saw those pointed ears that she realized they were the legendary elves!

"How's it going, Alpha?"

"She is not Demonic Possession; she does not exhibit any signs of Demonic Possession."

"Oh dear, that's such a pity, don't you think, Master?"

The magnetic male voice and the light and pure female voice alternated back and forth, and just hearing her voice made one feel a sense of enjoyment.

But... Demonic Possession?

How could I be that kind of person?

"I don't feel sorry for it. Since I've encountered it, I'll just consider it a good deed."

The male voice was neither joyful nor sorrowful, as if it were merely a slight sigh, and then the cage imprisoning her suddenly crumbled into dust.

The hemp ropes and gag on her body were also removed.

Before she could even speak, she found herself slowly lifting off the ground and being embraced in a warm hug.

"You're crying, aren't you? Don't worry, everything's alright now, so please stop crying. Crying too much will make you ugly. You don't want to become ugly and never get married, do you, my lovely princess?"

She felt a finger gently brush past the corner of her eye, wiping away the tears.

When she looked up, she saw an exceptionally handsome face smiling at her.

"... Who... who are you?" Rose asked almost instinctively.

"My name is Yotsuba Mahiro, a Kamen Rider who's just passing by. And you, my lovely princess?"

Perhaps because of this embarrassing nickname, Rose's face gradually turned red.

The reply was as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"I... my name is Rose Oriana... Kamen Rider, thank you for saving me..."

It was the appearance of Yotsuba Mahiro that changed her fate, causing her to turn back from the path of art she was supposed to take and pick up the longsword that the kingdom despised to begin practicing swordsmanship.

I hope that one day I can also reach that beautiful and powerful state.

At the same time, this became an extremely precious memory for Rose, a secret she never told anyone, belonging only to herself.

But she never expected that only two years would pass.

She was reunited with the elegant, beautiful, and powerful Yotsuba Mahiro!

Most importantly, she also learned that Yotsuba Mahiro was going to teach the Royal Capital Bushin Style swordsmanship, which was a double blessing!

But what she didn't notice was that Claire's gaze was full of hostility.

When she turned to look at Mahiro on the podium, she glared at him angrily.

She was clearly happy to see her teacher again, and her attack just now was merely an attempt to vent her anger.

He could have seen her again so soon, but instead he made her suffer such a sad punishment at parting.

She knew that no matter how fierce her sword skills were, she couldn't possibly hurt this sadistic teacher, which was why she dared to do this.

But to everyone's surprise, a girl who also knew this jerk of a teacher appeared in the class, but whom they had never seen before!

Even Claire herself didn't realize just how intense her jealousy was, or how terrifying her expression was; at least, her classmates were already keeping their distance.

How scary...

Claire is so scary...

Mahiro naturally saw all of this, but--

"Well, what's done is done. Let's get to class."

"Yotsuba Clan... Teacher, are you alright?"

After class, Mahiro walked out of the classroom and into the corridor.

But suddenly someone called out to him from behind.

It wasn't Claire as expected, nor Princess Rose; neither of them chased after them. Instead, it was the slightly clumsy, pink-haired girl they had met that morning who appeared.

"Sherry, what can I do for you?" Mahiro asked with a smile.

"Ah... oh no, I just wanted to ask Yotsuba Clan- sensei?"

Sherry's face immediately showed the panic she had expected, but she seemed to notice the weariness that Mahiro was hiding.

Fine?

It's not true that nothing's wrong.

Princess Rose and Claire met in the same classroom early in the morning, and their meeting was so intense it almost turned into a physical fight.

It's likely that even more trouble will follow.

But if I had to summarize it in one sentence, it would be --

"Fine."

"That's great..."

For some reason, Sherry seemed relieved, as if the heart that had been hanging in the air had finally settled back into her stomach.

She's a very sentimental girl.

"And you Sherry? Today was my first class. Was there anything you didn't understand?"

"No."

Sherry shook her head, her pink hair cascading down her back.

"Teacher Yotsuba Clan explained it very clearly; there wasn't a single part I didn't understand. In fact, many of the theories involved... Dad?!"

?

Mahiro had no idea how these strange sentence structures were combined.

But when he turned around following Sherry's gaze, he saw a tall, kind-looking middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a few strands of white hair walking towards him.

Oh, that is indeed Dad.

But it wasn't his father.

"Principal Lutheran"

"Hehe, it seems that Ms. Yotsuba Clan and my daughter Sherry are having a very pleasant chat."

Lutheran's first words upon approaching weren't a greeting, but rather a gentle teasing, which made Sherry blush instantly. She lightly stamped her foot and playfully scolded him:

"Dad...!"

"Hehe."

Lutheran smiled nonchalantly, placing his large hand on Sherry's head as he asked Mahiro:

"Teacher Yotsuba Clan, did Sherry cause you any trouble as an auditor?"

"No, rather, your daughter is very intelligent."

Oh, so you were an auditor.

No wonder he noticed that Sherry's seat was a bit strange, as if she was sitting away from everyone else in the class.

Moreover, in the original story, he remembered that Sherry was only a second-year student, which, according to the timeline, would be too early for her to enroll.

But on second thought, the auditor setting is actually quite reasonable.

After all, Sherry is known as the "top brain in the capital," a genuine genius, so it's normal for her to listen in on things from a higher level.

"Haha, really? This child has quite a few flaws. Because she's always buried in books about ancient artifacts, she's lacking in many areas. If she's offended anyone, please forgive her, Ms. Yotsuba Clan."

"Not at all. Dean Lutheran, your daughter is very well-behaved, I like her very much."

He wasn't flattering; he was telling the truth.

Sherry's behavior in class was characterized by diligence; she would always carefully look at the blackboard writing and take notes meticulously.

Which teacher wouldn't like such a diligent, hardworking, and exceptionally intelligent child?

However, Sherry seemed to have misunderstood, and her face flushed red instantly.

"That's good, that's good..."

Lutheran nodded with a smile, then asked, "So, Ms. Yotsuba Clan, did you encounter any trouble on your first day of class?"

Lutheran asked this question because the first-year students at the academy were notoriously difficult to manage.

They came here carrying the pride of their families, and many students were arrogant and disobedient to the teachers.

But Mahiro smiled slightly:

"No, the children in the class are all very well-behaved."

Mahiro didn't tell anyone about the conflict between Claire and Rose, even though the headmaster probably already knew.

After all, the conflict was caused by him. If the two of them were punished for it, that would be a real sin, making them genuine scumbags.

However, after that topic ended, Lutheran looked down at Sherry, as if he had something to say.

So he took the initiative to speak:

"Well then, Dean Lutheran, I have more classes to attend, so I'll take my leave now."

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Lutheran waved gently at him.
