Chapter 832 - Transfer Student (1/2)
The next day, everyone gathered on Haru's desk to talk about the Inter-Class tournament which was about to be held soon.
”The Inter-Class Tournament is coming up, right?”
”By the way, did you hear that the class representative for Class Two was changed?”
”Ah. It seems that she was replaced by some transfer student.”
”Transfer student? At this time?” Ichika was surprised.
”Yes, a girl from China.”
”Hmph! Could it be that she was very wary of my existence and decided to transfer in?” Cecilia had a haughty expression on her face.
Haru looked at Houki who kept glancing at them from her seat which made him really want to bring her here, but he knew that her personality was very hard to approach or being forced to be pulled into the group.
”Well, Cecilia, since this transfer student could replace the current class representative of Class Two, then there is a possibility that that girl is also an IS Representative from China and that means she might have her own personal IS,” Haru said.
”What?!”
”Is that true?”
”How did you know?”
The girls became curious when they heard him.
”Personal IS...” Ichika was a bit jealous when he heard it, but he knew that only limited people in this world could have it.
”I'm not sure, but there's that possibility, right?” Haru thought that it was possible for the representative of Class Two to own her own IS. He knew that only both Class One and Class Four had their own IS. He didn't know about the Class Four, but he remembered that it was a class where the IS Representative from Japan was located.
However, he had heard that it was because of him that the IS of the IS Representative from Japan was being stopped and it might take a year or so for her IS to be made since each country could only have limited IS being made in their country, but he didn't care much since he didn't know this representative of Japan was.
”Hmph! Even if she is an IS Representative from China. She won't be my opponent!”
Cecilia folded her arms showing her haughtiness and pride as the IS Representative from England.
”Hee... you sure have confidence, are you sure that you can beat me?”
Everyone turned toward the direction of the entrance door and saw a petite cute girl with light brown hair tied in twintails with a yellow ribbon on both sides.
Haru knew that in the story, it was quite normal to have a transfer student development, and he could see that this transfer student was related to Ichika, especially when he saw Ichika's reaction.
”Rin? You're Rin, right?”
Ichika was surprised to see this girl.
”Yes, I'm the representative candidate for China, Fan Rinin.” Rin pointed her finger and said, ”Today, I came to declare war!”
Everyone was surprised.
”Is that the transfer student from Class Two? The representative candidate for China?”
Ichika smiled walking toward her and said, ”Rin... what are you acting cool for? That doesn't suit you!”
”Wha? What the heck are you saying!” Rin seemed to be very mad.
”They seem quite close, right?” Cecilia looked at Haru.
”From my observation, they might be a childhood friend or something, so her relationship might be the same as Houki.....”
Haru looked at Houki and felt a bit sorry for her.
”Yeah... I feel sorry for Houki....”
Cecilia also sighed at Houki remembering how dense Ichika was. She was hugging Haru's hand at this moment when everyone was focussed on the interaction of Ichika and Rin.
”Ahh! Cecilia! What are you hugging Haru at this moment!”
The girls in the class seemed to wake up and tried to separate the two of them since Cecilia tried to steal the march from them.
”What the heck are you doing!”
Cecilia was a bit mad being separated, but at the same time, she was quite proud since she had taken a picture together with Haru last night. She was different from everyone in this class after all.
Rin also noticed the commotion and asked, ”Who is that?”
”Oh, that's Haru. He's my friend and also an IS pilot.” Ichika explained.
”Hmm....” Rin nodded and wanted to ask something, but suddenly her head was being hit.
*Baam!*
”It hurts! What are you doing?!”
”.....”
Rin gawked when she saw the person who had hit her head.
”Go back to your class.”
”C - Chifuyu-san...”
”It's an Orimura-sensei. Go back to your class, you're a bother.”
”S - Sorry.”
Chifuyu entered the class and made everyone quiet. In the class, she was just like a queen who controlled everything within the class.
”I'll come again later! Don't run away, Ichika! Hmph!”
Rin turned and went back to her own class.
Ichika was standing still and was surprised by Rin's identity as a representative candidate.

After the class, Haru, Cecilia, Houki, and some girls were eating lunch together. He looked at Houki who squinted her eyes and seemed very curious about the interaction between Ichika and Rin who was the transfer student.
After the class, Ichika and Rin went to eat lunch together in the cafeteria to talk to each other and left Houki behind.
”If you're curious, why don't you go sit next to them?” Haru asked.
”W - What are you talking about?!” Houki blushed and shook her head frantically.
”Shinonono-san, if you want to fight for Ichika against that transfer student then you need to be more aggressive!” Cecilia added and thought that it was a bit interesting to see Houki's reaction.
Everyone knew that Houki was the little sister of Shinonono Tabane, but no one mentioned it since she seemed to hate when she was being related to her big sister.
”No! I don't have an interest in him!” Houki denied it with a blush.
”Cecilia, calm down.” Haru put his hand on Cecilia's shoulders telling her to sit down.
”Well....” Cecilia nodded and knew Houki's personality was very hard to approach, easy to get angered, and very easy to be shy. Frankly, in her mind Houki was troublesome, but she was alright with her since she knew that Houki wasn't her rival in this school.
The only thing which made her sigh was that the guy who she was interested in was very popular and there were a lot of girls who had taken a fancy to him which made her somewhat restless since he hadn't touched her or brought her to his room.
