The student council also known as Murakumo, their fan nickname after successfully exposing the plot of Hinata and newspaper club, was an enigma that a lot of the students in Nokken accepted on the basis of their one good deed. At least to Rei it was an odd turn of event that was leading to their upheaval, or perhaps he was overthinking the sequence of events that all happened one after another so perfectly. Most of the students he asked didn't entirely believe their yakuza story, and they never sought to dig for the truth. For their own benefit or just a lack of interest, a self centered person would think they're simply too stupid to question their own reality but Rei was an optimist. He was also known as the biggest pervert in the school for hitting on all the (big breasted) girls he laid his eyes on. One liners and talking in an incredibly smooth way that didn't entirely creep them out nor brought their affection. He was discreet with his perversion, for example peeking up girls' skirts on the stairs and just before they turned around he would run past them pretending to be late for class. Then impressing them with parlor tricks 'If I guess what panties you're wearing then you owe me a date, deal?' which he would guess right every time but to throw them off he would guess wrong every so often.

Still he would not get a date but their giggling and how impressed they were at his 'lucky' guess was enough to satisfy him. He however, couldn't get a glimpse of the council's underwear or calculate their bust and waist sizes using math. They were very foreign, high above him in terms of social position and always on the move. He was tasked by that hot busty woman from Nokken's rival school who had apparently fought with the council in the superdimension. To be more appropriate--her name, Judith, told him to gather intel on their tactics, skills, how they fought and navigated to the other world, and how they managed to survive the brutal beatdown she gave them. One survived a sword to the head and the other completely drained her magic yet they both returned from near death with a counterattack that completely turned the tides of battle. Had it not been for their archer she would've been severely burnt.

"Hey Rei, are you thinking about something?" A rough looking boy with a loose tie and untucked uniform sat ahead of him. He moved his finger from side to side in front of the handsome male's face. Rei had a great look both boys and girls envied, the look of a rockstar with medium length ginger hair that sprawled down the back of his neck and cold bright blue eyes that was chill. He had the look of a band leader and he was in a sense, being the handsome idol and son of a prince of the cold icey northern city of Mariellir. His reasons for being here in Japan were vague and blue like the tie he wore around his collar. Whereas the other students altered the uniform to their liking slightly, he would completely form his own style that suited his rockstar demeanor. So it was unlike him to dwell so deeply here in his classroom alone, 2-A.

He snapped out of his thoughts and to play off his surprise he feinted into leaning back in his seat stretching his arms high. "Oops! Had my mind focused on what to say to the girl I saw in the hall yesterday." Though he would change the topic as quickly as he brought one up, "Do you happen to… know anything about the student council?"

The rough looking boy laughed "Trying to hit on the student council now eh? Well I'm just as clueless as everyone else is about them. I guess I know a little about Luka, well, everyone does but…"

The most perplexing individual, Luka, or as Rei called her; the drooling retard. One of the few girls he wanted nothing to do with because of lack of any cognitive ability. Her sudden turnaround was a strange event for the whole school and became bigger when she joined the council. Whenever she was around the council she behaved kindly but alone, she was cold and hard to define. Even after her change Rei stayed away and watched and listened to the few students brave enough to approach her either to pick with her or talk, both were met with a terrifying blank stare akin to the doll she carried. Saying the strangest things like when she was looking out of the window, she asked a student who stopped beside her. "What if a giant hammer fell on the Earth? That'd be pretty messed up right?" Confused by the question, the student ran off without answering. Judith explained to him how she survived being bludgeoned then suddenly getting a burst of power from nowhere and flailed her sword about while screaming like a maniac. Rei chalked it up to her being the same as before, except this time now conscious, her mental instabilities were more apparent.

"What a crazy idiot…" Rei muttered then moved out of his seat. "Any council members around?"

"I didn't see them at all today. I wonder if they all got sick." The rough looking boy replied.

Rei thanked him casually and exited to the halls where he would go on to find Silique at the stairs basking under the orange evening light and watching the clouds pass through the window. Normally he would make this a scene of a majestic maiden he stumbled upon, and take her hand. But his mind was focused on the mission and curiosities unfulfilled. Instead of a romance visual novel he was playing an RPG with many branching pathways and choices. The thought put a bad taste in his mouth; he'd rather envision himself as a beloved handsome main character than the lone warrior on a quest. At least the quest's reward was a free date with Judith! He couldn't pass that down.

Silique glanced at him from the corner of her eye. The subtle turn of her head and the disgusted glare almost made him hesitate, but he wasn't looking to hit on her, she knew by the way he moved. There was intentionally behind his step. "Need something?" She didn't know his name but his rumors--the pervert boy from Mariellir.

Resisting the urge to instantly respond 'I need you.' he caught his tongue and switched his question. "Do you know anything about the student council? I'm on a little investigation here."

"Investigation? I don't like the sound of that when it's coming from you. What is your true intention here?" She narrowed her eyes.

Raising a finger and winking, he would reveal a hint of truth, "I'm feeling a bit ambitious in my journey to find true love." he lied in the same breath. A lie that convinced Silique despite her wrinkling her nose at the idea of him finding more girls to allure. She knew Maine and Remy the most out of the several members in the council. Sparing him the details like where they came from, she would tell him about the two girls before they joined the council.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

The big reveal was… that they were still the same as before. Maine was still very eccentric while Remy was blunt and quiet. Once being a part of "Food Punishment" the food research club, they kept to their small circle of chefs and ignored the ongoings of the council and their adversaries until something changed one day that convinced them to leave their club and join the council. They were quite well versed with their magic, probably the most skilled with their powers in the council at the time, and they had learned CQC growing up. To pick on Maine or Remy was to pick on someone twice the average size, or so it felt like it with how fast they could flip a student upside down. A rollercoaster like that wasn't something many wanted to experience, even the so-called 'delinquents' of the school avoided them. Maine from the outside seemed like a knucklehead but she was one of the smartest in the school, having high test scores and consistent high grades. All of that studying was probably the reason she was barely seen in the school up until recently.

Silique closed her eyes "That is all I know."

Interesting to say the least. The way Silique made them out to be as strong fighters was the most useful info Rei was told. Judith didn't get to fight them in combat but it was going to be better to stealthy take them out to avoid taking severe injuries. Next was the main three of the council.

"Thanks er… cute babe!" Rei ran onward swiftly before Silique could respond, making the departure as weird as possible to ward off her suspicion.

Now finding someone who knew the three members well was going to be difficult given the bias against them. He walked down the halls with his chin resting on his hand trying to think of a person who was sympathetic to their cause.

"Uhm, Rei?"

He turned around after hearing the soft and shy voice and looked down at a girl with glasses shyly pressing her fingers together and stuttering his name. Flat, small, boring looking, she was a massive turn off already and Rei acted accordingly. "I'm–-"

Wait--maybe this girl knew something about them. She had the look of a generic mage, Rei thought. Smoothly his frown changed to a grin "I'm… looking for the student council. I'm trying to figure out more about them. Happen to know anything?"

The girl looked so happy Rei was giving her attention. She nodded, "O-oh! I'll tell you anything you want, Senpai!"

Rei winced at the title but that was how it was in Japan. There weren't any honorifics in Mariellir so being called senpai of all things was a weird feeling.

Aside from that thought, he listened to what she had to say. First she told him about the bullying and whatnot, their usual backstory and their magic powers. Surprisingly she would go into depth about their powers, talking about how people thought up plans to permanently extinguish their flames. There was more beyond the surface of magic, for instance, the magic triangle. In the simple magic category; Thunder has an advantage over wind, wind over fire, and fire over thunder. Dark and light cancel each other out. The entire complex category had a big advantage over the simple category meaning that Judith naturally had the upper hand if it came down to raw magic. Rei took a mental note of this as the girl talked about how coordinated they were. Always adapting to new circumstances and preparing for seemingly everything. Kyokai could use his magic to alter things after he analyzed it, changing their inherent values like weight and strength for a limited amount of time. His hacking theoretically was limitless, the ends of this power being how big his imagination extended. Gachi's expertise with a sword was precise, maybe an ability from her eye rather than her hand since she could cut a desk in two with one slash. Those two were a bigger threat in battle than Pro given their powers had various utility than simply burning things. Rei didn't want to underestimate her though, in case she hadn't figured out her real power.

"W-well senpai? Is there anything else-"

Rei grabbed her shoulders, shaking her wildly "Thank you! Thank you so much my special little kouhai!" Being touched by her senior put her into a daze. It was a strategic move on his part. Her nose started to bleed as she dreamt up all the possible romantic things he'd do to her like kissing or saying something so sweet. She couldn't stop giggling and her glasses fogged up, the lines between her imagination and reality blurring in the moment. Where she would stand muttering to herself 'Hehehe Rei, but you're my upperclassman hehehe!' He would be 50 feet away in an instant. She had the imagination of a freak, besides, he liked girls with more character(boobs) and liked the ones that played hard to get than the girls addicted to his image.

He left the school's campus with his chin high as always but his smile wasn't all there. His mind occupied with the true ongoings of Murakumo, he took a train to Shinjuku where he would meet with Judith in the same spot as before.

Victory was in sight, the conquest of her body almost in his grasp. He hurried over to the blonde maiden grinning. She, on the other hand, looked more nervous than before. Blushing red and asking, "D-did you actually do it? Did you find out about those students?"

He snapped his fingers "All for you pretty girl! I know a nice place we can eat at. How about we have a seat and talk all about it there?"

Judith grabbed his hands gently, "Thank you Rei! You might be a bit of a weirdo but you really go the long way for us."

He wasn't expecting her to be so forward all of a sudden. It made him blush and get bashful, pulling his hands away and awkwardly rubbing the back of his head like a dork. He chuckled "H-heh! It was noth–-"

A fist from his side struck his head, the impact equivalent to a door hitting him, no-it was like being hit dead on by a baseball bat. Wherever it came from it caused his consciousness to start fading. Surely Judith was going to save him from the mysterious attacker, he thought until he heard her voice, somewhat muffled and two other voices from girls he didn't know.

"Alright I knocked him out. Tie him up and we'll throw him in the superdimension."

"Is this rope thick enough? Will he be able to break free?"

"All depends on how you tie it. Here, I'll tie him real good."

"Shit…" Was the last word Rei could utter before passing out and falling to the whims of darkness and bitches turning him into a BDSM slave.
