Magic is real!?

Takeru manages to get to the Gym before the entrance exam starts. Spotting Haruka, he walked over, his childhood friend waving him over. "Glad to see you made it!" She sounded happy, wrapping him in a hug... and planting his face in her chest!? The sex note really worked!?

After the ten seconds had finished, he felt the murderous intent of the Uruchi girl from earlier. Haruka looked at her and started trying to calm her down, before the principal stepped onto the podium, testing the mike. Wow, she was even bigger than Haruka! Man he made the right call to enroll here!

"Testing, testing..." A red haired and clearly stacked woman (probably the principal) said as she confirmed the mike was working. "This is your principal Minori Rokujou! Ahem- first of all, I would like to congratulate all the students who enrolled in this school. Today, other than just welcoming you all, I have something to tell you all about this academy."

"The Motto of our School is... Mentality! Beauty! Physicality!" She gave a dramatic fist pump, bouncing her chest noticeably, before continuing. "Which basically means both mentally and physically we must be strong and at the same time we must not lose our beauty!" She cried out to the audience with a dramatic arm sweep (and more jiggling). "This motto will remain the same even though our school has gone co-ed!!" Another dramatic arm sweep another round of jiggling. "Originally, this concept is to let our boys and girls train among themselves. While obeying the school rules, they are free to choose to 'fall in love' or 'duel'!"

Up until this point, Takeru was barely paying attention, his eyes entranced on the principal's ever shaking rack, but something caught his attention in that last sentence. "Duel?" But, it seemed that would need to be learned about till later,as Miss Rokujou kept going.

"I'm pretty sure most of you are aware of our Kagura-hime, or priestesses who dance in our school festival! At the same time, we also hold a tournament which decides the original owners of the Maken-Ki's! Magical power, Spiritual power, there are all kinds of magical abilities, but we'll just label them as Elements! Don't you think you'll have a brighter future when you have become one of the owners of they 8 Maken-Ki's, and have the right to control the Elements? ...Maybe~. But since we don't have the original Maken, we'll just be providing imitations which shoot each and every student."

Takeru was feeling very confused. After the book ended up working, he was beyond doubting magic, but she was saying that they were all hear to learn about it? and after hyping the original 8 Maken, she made it sound like they were all just getting cheap knock-offs...

"Let's have a little demonstration for some entertainment!" The comment from the principal got Takeru back into focus. He noticed a large raffle machine having been rolled in behind her, and two arenas had been placed behind and in front of her. "The three students and one newcomer I name, please come up on stage!" She grabbed the balls that came out of the machine and read them off.

"2-B Number 6 Kinua Garrett and, from the same class, 2-B number seven Shinatsu Azuki! you two will take the stage behind me!" She grabbed a second pair of balls as a girl with light blue hair and a dark blue ribbon tied in the back got up, along with another girl with short red hair and a band-aid over her nose.

"Next up!" Miss Rokujou shouted like a fight promoter. "2-A Number 20 Himegami Kodama, and lastly, the newcomer Ooyama Takeru! Both of you please come forward to the stage in front of me!" Takeru checked that the book hadn't fallen out of his pocket he moved forward, spotting the familiar blonde who'd chucked the book at him earlier walking up ahead of him. Oh, this should be fun... he thought sarcastically, trying to ignore how cute she was even from behind.

"Also, let me mention that each duel is only 3 minutes, since it's just a demonstration. Please rest assured you won't have any lasting harm, as we also have our medical team on the sidelines." Minori finished with her commentary as Garrett and Azuki reached the arena first, the former putting on a cocky stance as she held a sword while the latter was doing some runner's leg stretches.

"Ohoho~! Finally Azuki-chan. To be fighting each other in this situation... don't you think it's fate~?" the now clearly ojou-sama styled Garrett taunted, her sporty opponent sighing while she stretched. "Sheesh, I've been waiting to settle things once and for all."

"Ohoho~! But don't you think there's nothing much we could do other than duel each other in this kind of situation~?" The swordswoman taunted, pointing dramatically at her rival. "Anyway, say anything you want to say now, if I win, you will have to give him back to me!!"

"You sure are persistent, young lady." Azuki replied, talking like she wasn't practically the same age as her adversary while she put on some gloves with her teeth. "If I win, then you will stop picking fights regarding that matter."

"Well then! Let's start with our first duel!" The principal cheered, sounding more like a commentator hyping up a wrestling match than an educator. Takeru stood next to the stage next to Himegami, watching the two of them.

"Understood. Duel accepted." Garrett said as she tossed the sword's sheath aside. "It's showtime. Magic sword... Scythe!" the hilt of the blade began glowing as Rokujou gave the go ahead. "Ready~... GO!" Immediately, the blue haired sword swung her blade at Azuki, a shockwave ike you'd see in a game flying towards the redhead, spooking some nearby first years in the audience as it flew before impacting with the wall. Azuki seemed to have vanished, however.

"What!!?' Takeru couldn't help but shout in surprise from that attack. He was expected to duel something like that!?

"Magic Sword 'Scythe' will follow its master's will." Himegami explained, misinterpreting his shock. Takeru tuned her out a bit for now, he knew what a slash wave was, thank you very much.

"But facing an opponent like the 'Violent Eagle'..." She continued, looking up. Takeru followed her gaze, spotting Azuki in the air among the gym's metal rafters. "Such speed is useless."

Garrett was flustered, but was reading another swing. "That did surprise me... but to me, airborne opponents are like sitting ducks! It's game over for you now!" She swung the blade at her seemingly prone opponent.

"Soar! Magical Heel, Hawk!" Her shoes transformed into a more mechanical form, before she sudden'y kicked off of the air, landing into a slide behind her opponent. The wind generated from that pretty much gave the nearby audience an excellent view of their panties as their skirts fluttered wildly (Blue and pink that matched their hair colors, for those who cared (like Takeru)). The bluette tried to turn around to swing her blade, but before she could move, Azuki had kicked out, her outstretched leg holding her foot a centimeter from Kinua's face, giving everyone an even better look at her panties in the process.

"Heh." Minori chuckled at that before bringing the mike back to her face. "Alright, stop! Winner, Shinatsu Azuki!!" She said, pumping up the crowd. Kinua Garrett, meanwhile, was was in all fours. 'L-lost to her again..."

"Hey," Azuki walked over with her hands on her hips, trying to comfort her rival. "Yo-you were careless and talked too much during the duel. If you hadn't let your guard down at the very last second, you could have dodged that kick easily."

"...He's not coming back to me, is he?" Garrett asked her rival, who gave a satisfied sigh. "Ah, you should give up already on that." Takeru was interested in spite of himself. Did Azuki steal Garrett's boyfriend or somethin-

"That's right..." Garrett said, from all fours, before rising up dramatically as she turned towards the audience. "OH PITY, MY LITTLE TEDDY BEAR!! From now on, Azuki-chan will be hugging you tightly every night while crying as her tears soak her pillow!!"

Azuki was struck speechless as murmuring broke out about this. the ojou-sama doing a cocky laugh at the very flustered tomboy.

Takeru, shook his head from that, the panic resurfacing as what he was about to have to do. On top of his opponent likely having abilities like what he just aw, he didn't feel like it was right for him to fight a girl...

"Hey kiddo!" Hiimegami shouted at him, making him immediately tense and look over at her...
