Azuna was fed up with Evelyn's talk. He did not expect that he was spreading such rumors. What a mistake he made so he was asked to step down.
"Looks. I need to see King Regent for a reason why I'm there." Azuna left the playground to go to White Castle.
...****************...
"King Regent." Call one of the King Regent's staff.
"What's Rumi?." Ask King named Shawn.
"Miss Azuna wants to see you." Rumi said to tell.
"Send him in." After being invited in, Azuna immediately went to Shawn.
"Good night, your honor." Greetings Azuna while kneeling.
"What's up, Azuna?." Ask Shawn.
"I didn't want to ask you this before. But, can you tell me. Why was I recommended as one of the mentors in Margery's class?." Azuna asked Shawn for an explanation.
"Is anyone bothering you?." Shawn turned around to ask. Azuna recalled what Sakuraba said earlier.
'Thanks to this rumor the whole class became panicked.' Sakuraba's words are still on her mind.
"Lately there's been a lot of rumors on St. Emillion Magic Academy said that I was placed in the Margery Class who rumored my Brother was also a member of that class." Answer Azuna.
"Ah. Rumor is it." Reply Shawn.
"So you already know?." Azuna asked ascertained and Shawn nodded in response.
"Look, if your sister's in that class, it's just a coincidence. I put you above your abilities. You're very talented. You and Hino are considered geniuses. Complete all levels of education when you are 9 years old. Therefore I entrust one of the Margery class to you." Shawn explained the point.
"Aren't you able to entrust them to a force with Thalia and Jake?." If looking for a smart and talented person there are many in this world Not only him.
"The Margery class is the Elite class. Classes where only the best kids in their class are included." Shawn.
"I've seen all sorts of alumni but no one is as good as you or Hino. Thalia and Jake are the ones who approached you. Because they both always get A+ scores since they entered school until graduation. As for the others, I can't be careless." Shawn.
"Then, why isn't Hino the one you asked for help?." Azuna knew Hino was as talented as she was. With his abilities, Hino could have been recruited for something like this.
"Hino. She can't because she knows her sister in that class." Reply Shawn.
Hino couldn't. It's so much fun when he can be like Hino. He knew he had a family. Although they are not much different.
"Azuna." Call Shawn again.
"I know it's very hard for all of you. But if you trust each other. Then you can face all this." Shawn.
...****************...
In the princess dormitory, Akiko was looking towards the night sky that was outside the window. He could not sleep because of the rumors that made all members of his group could not carry out activities properly.
"It's really bad." He shook his head.
"Akiko-chan?." Call Hanada surprises Akiko.
"Can't sleep?." Akiko asked as Hanada approached her. Hanada gave with a nod.
"I'm the same." Akiko was honest.
"Tomorrow is the time for Field Training. And somehow I don't feel good at all." Hanada.
"Is this about the Idiot Trio?." Akiko got out of her chair and decided to walk to her bed while Hanada tailed behind her.
"I can't deny it. They, Igarashi-kun look like everyone else when we train, Sakuraba-kun is not like he usually gets a bit hard. Then to sasuke-kun...."
"what's wrong with that stupid blonde?." Ask Akiko.
"Today she's been crying silently. Every time he was in front of everyone he would behave as usual. But when he himself will cry. When he yelled at Igarashi-kun yesterday, he remained steadfast. But, I could see invisible tears coming out of his eyes." Hanada was sitting next to Akiko.
"Somehow I feel a little sorry for him. Even if he's annoying. But he's still my best friend." Akiko.
"Is there any way to solve this?." Hanada asked hoping.
In difficult times, he usually asks Akiko, Igarashi or Sakuraba for help in solving problems. But right now he could only ask Akiko for help.
"The point of the matter is from Miss Azuna. Since this concerned him, then he had to do something to keep his good name clean. And he can stop the anxiety in the classroom." Akiko replied firmly.
"But..."
"There's no way I can think of forcing Miss Azuna to speak truthfully in front of everyone. Otherwise, the choice is issued waiting for him." Cut Akiko.
"Are you sure of this decision, Akiko-Chan?." Tanya Hanada then moved back to her Mattress.
Hanada who saw him decided to go to sleep.
...****************...
"Miss Azuna." Call Akiko after they practice.
"What's up?." Azuna asked Akiko.
"Regarding the rumors. Wouldn't it be better if you clarified it." Akiko's Advice.
"For what?." Azuna did not understand what she wanted to clarify.
"If you keep quiet, this is all gonna get messed up. You not only ruined your career but the careers of Miss Thalia and Mr. Jake's." Sakuraba.
"Even if I confirm, do they want to believe what I say?." No one believed his words. Because they must think it's bullshit.
"If you don't act, they all think this is true and it will hurt others." This time Hanada spoke.
"If what you're saying isn't enough, ask someone who knows the truth to help you speak." Zakuro gave his advice.
"Seek the Headmaster or King Regent to speak up for you. If it came out of their mouths they would all believe it." Sasuke was convinced that his suggestion this time could help.
"Even if they believe, but they must think and be sure that I influence them." Reply Azuna.
"It's better than just being quiet." Igarashi spoke up.
"Eh?."
"It's not better if they speak for you. If it is true that those who ask you should also want to be dragged into this matter. If one gets into trouble then all must also get dragged along." Igarashi.
Azuna kept silent for a while then she replied to the words of her disciple.
"All right, I will...."
"I won't let that happen." Cut a woman's voice from behind.
"Evely." It turns out that that woman is Evelyn.
"I'm not gonna let that happen." Evelyn repeated her words.
"You want to destroy someone's happiness for your own pleasure?." Ask Akiko is angry.
"If it really has to. Then I'll do it." Evelyn answered calmly.
"Evely. This is the base where only me and the Alpha Group can get in. You can't just go in." Azuna said to warn.
"What do you care?. This is a public place belonging to the school. You have no right to rule me." Reply Evelyn.
"It is you who are not entitled." Shouted Zakuro. Evelyn just stared lazily at Zakuro.
"Miss Evelyn's. You know entering someone's practice area isn't allowed." Sakuraba takes care of her emotions.
"In addition, spreading one's privacy is a grave offense. You can be punished by the King Regent for this." Connect Hanada.
"Even so, if I get punished, then he's gonna have to." Evelyn's reply pointed towards Azuna.
"But I feel sorry for you." Igarashi replied to Evelyn.
"What do you mean?." Ask Evelyn.
"When you try to pull Miss Azuna into your trap, more and more people will pull Miss Azuna out." Evidently.
"Because of that, I'm not gonna let that happen." Evelyn left the Alpha group.
"Let's go see the principal." Sasuke's proposal made everyone look at him.
"The Head of School must know how to get this problem out. So let's just try it." Sasuke was excited.
Akiko, Igarashi, Sakuraba, Hanada, and Zakuro agree to Sasuke's proposal.
"Miss Azuna's. You don't have to worry." Hanada said to calm her mentor.
"Every problem there is always a way out. We'll do what we can." Sakuraba.
"We're doing this not just for you but for our friends." Akiko. Then they all left Azuna alone.
"For their sake, too, I should try." Azuna's words strengthened her heart.
