Chapter 2 - Rebecca's Dangerous Command

Part 1

After class, Ash anxiously went to the student council’s office.

Even though he was worried about Eco who stay in the dorm for the entire day, but he insisted that he must speak to Rebecca face to face.

"Excuse me!"

Without even a knock on the door, Ash walked into student council’s office.

Just as he expected, Rebecca was in the office. She was sitting on the couch comfortably drinking her cup of tea. The sweet aroma of the

Ansal tea can be smelled. Apart from Rebecca, there were no other students in the office.

"Hai, Ash. I had expected that you’ll show yourself."

Seeing Ash rushed into the room, Rebecca smile.

"What is that about? Why even I, with those kinds of results can also participate in the selective training camp ......"

"Don’t you worry, please have a sit first before we start talking."

Ash unwilling sat down opposite to Rebecca. Upon seeing this, Rebecca suddenly patted the empty space next to her.

"Didn’t I tell you before that is more effective to get to know each other when two people are sitting next to each other? This is the iron rule when dating."

"......Understood."

Although his current mood has nothing to do with dating, but Ash obediently sat next to Rebecca. A refreshing can be smelt. It was the perfume that Rebecca loves to use.

After Rebecca place down her cup, she look at Ash. Her emerald-like eyes were reflecting Ash's face.

"Are you so concerned about yourself being selected?"

"Of course, I don’t know why I was even chosen......"

The Specially Recommended System was only adopted this year. It was evaluated by the student council president, so I choose you. It is just as simple as this. But-

Saying this, Rebecca showed her tongue. This is the first time Ash saw Rebecca’s playful look. That cute look made his heart beats faster.

"To tell the truth, the person who suggested the Specially Recommended System is me."

"What!? What is your purpose?"

Seeing Ash was dumbfounded, Rebecca with a calm attitude placed her hand on his lap, gently stroked his knee. Not only that, her mouth was getting closer to Ash’s ear.

Rebecca's breath at his earlobe, which made Ash shivered.

"Are you forcing me to tell you personally? Of course, it is to allow you to participate in training camp!"

"W-Why ......?"

"By following the previous selection method, an irregular like you will surely not be selected. But you are with a genuine talent. To even have the incredible power of riding other people’s pal...... and to have a special pal is also a fact. Additionally, you defeated the Necromancia and ‘Avdocha the Convict’. That is why, I am insist in letting you to participate in the training camp, The Specially Recommended System is use to accomplish this task. "

"So it is really...... for me?"

Ash was staring at Rebecca’s beauty.

Am I thinking too much? There is the feeling of Rebecca’s cheeks also turned red.

"That ...... Until now, I never fell in love with any particular boy."

"Huh......?"

"Because no matter how good is that boy, he can never be on the same position as me."

If these words were from the mouth another girl, she may sound arrogant. But since it was Rebecca, it will be another story. After all, she is the unique Ark-Dragner.

"But whenever I see you...... Stranger to say, I am always looking forward to it. I've never had these feelings. Maybe...... I am easily attracted to 'hidden talents'."

Ash was surprised that even there were times when Rebecca stutter. Moreover, she looked like she doesn’t know how to deal with her feelings.

“W-What you mean...... is it?"

Ash's heartbeat is almost at its peak.

Rebecca as if leaking her secret, uttered that sentence.

"Can I expect it from you?"

Despite feeling flattered, Ash still had the urge to tightly hug Rebecca. This is the first time Ash had this kind of feelings for Rebecca.

Their shoulders leaned closely together. No, it was done intentional by Rebecca. Since the summer uniform is made from thin material, Ash was able to clearly feel Rebecca's body temperature. Maybe summer uniforms also have its advantages...... This is the first time Ash thinks so.

"Rebecca-san......!"

Just when Ash was quietly murmuring like he was dreaming-

-Bang!

The door was suddenly opened with a loud sound. Meanwhile, two girls who lost their balance plunged into the office.

With a closer look, the two were Silvia and Jessica.

Ash quickly got up from the couch.

"What are you doing!?"

"I-It is not me! It was Jessica who suddenly pushed me......”

Silvia while rubbing her waist quickly climbed up. A while back, she slowly build up her royal’s dignity which made him gave her a little admiration. But after she had shown her useless side. Ash felt a little regret.

"Rebecca! I am not gonna let you of easily today!"

Jessica rushed up from the ground and said to her.

"There are so many people for you to seduce and you choose my Ash-sama!"

Rebecca with a nonchalant look replied:

"Jessica, you are mistaken. Ash at this stage does not belong to anyone! Logically speaking, I am not seducing him."

"You're lying! The scene just now......"

"Aright, I won’t deny that I might like him in the near future......"

After hearing, Jessica's expression instantly stiffens.

It seems that she never thought that Rebecca would declare war on her in this case.

Not only Jessica, even Silvia was also speechlessly staring at Rebecca.

"I actually would like to ask what were you two doing suspiciously behind the door. Since you are in the student council, why do you not walk in proudly?"

Rebecca retorted with sharp words, which result in Silvia and Jessica explaining with a "Uuh!".

"I-I accidentally saw Ash-sama in the corridor, and I came to take a look and I found out that Princess-sama was standing at the doorway......"

Jessica quietly stared at Silvia.

"I-I initially wanted to ask president on the issues of the selective training camp, but I saw president and Ash...... Err ...... the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so I was embarrassed to come in......"

After listening to the two explanations, Rebecca sighed.

"The two of you are a proud member of the student council, at the same time, both of you are participants of the Selective training camp. I hope that you two have some self-respect, and remind yourself to keep an honest attitude."

"Understood......"

Opposite of Silvia who humbly accepts the advice, Jessica refuted.

"Hmph! Rebecca are you in position you have to make those irresponsible remarks? I wonder who was the girl who embraced Ash-sama on the student council’s office’s sofa? Had Her Royal Highness and I didn’t broke in, God knows at what stage you will be progressing!"

"Ara, such attitude. I'm happy to talk about the trouble you made in your childhood small right here? Anyhow you are my childhood playmate. Well, there were many things that could become the topic."

Despite the smile made by the smooth lips, Rebecca's eyes did not shown any smiling sign. Like an eagle forcing its prey into its end, they were bursting out with dazzling light.

"Yikes......!"

Her previous arrogance had disappeared. Jessica who turn pale was sweating profusely.

"I-It was my b-bad."

"Hmm, it is good to admit you are wrong honestly."

When Rebecca was answering while smiling- someone frantically rushed in through the opened door.

"President! Something was very wrong......!"

It was Max in charge of the accounts. Perhaps he was running at full speed along the way, he was out of breath. He didn’t even found out that his spectacle was not at the right place.

For the calm Max to become this way, how urgent is the situation? Since the city had been full of disaster recently, Ash was also feeling very tense.

"What happened, Max? To be panicked until this extend is not your style."

The student council president is sure to be very experienced, even after seeing Max expression, Rebecca was still calm. She was calmly waiting for Max to reply.

"W-We received a report...... there were smoke emerging form the Merk House of the women's dormitory-!"

"Is it a small fire?"

"The details are unclear. But, the smoke is suspected that it was emerging from Lukka Saarinen's room......"

Upon hearing Lukka Saarinen’s name, Rebecca face became pale.

"I'll leave for Merk home... In my name Rebecca Randall I order! Respond to my summon, Cú Chulainn-"

The next moment, Maestro Cú Chulainn who responded to Rebecca’s summoning spell appeared in front of the window.
