38 The Gears of Fate and Maware!

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?! SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED!!! OR WORSE, SHIHO COULD'VE DIED!!!" Kawakami screamed at Axel and his team, who were forced to seiza on the gym floor.

Directly after Axel caught Shiho, the volleyball tournament was brought to an abrupt end. All the teachers lead the curious students out of the gym, leaving a furious Kawakami, Kamoshida and the principle.

The principle was a fat bald man wearing a yellow suit with the looks of a frog. He looked at Axel and his team in disapproval and said, "You endangered the life of your fellow student. Because of this, I'll deduct one point from your match and place all of you on detention for the next week or two, depending on how you behave."

The principle quickly left while Kamoshida smirked and followed behind him. Axel just looked at the pair of idiots walk away as he knew why the principle really took the point away from their team.

As a gold medallist, Kamoshida has a certain standard he has to keep up. That means it can't be known that Kamoshida lost to a bunch of kids in a volleyball match, especially considering it was obvious near the end that he took the match seriously when he used a move he usually keeps for actual matches.

Luckily, Axel had actually planned for this. When he and Mishima were walking back to the gym, he secretly summoned Stella, gave her his phone and asked her to record his match from a good position.

One way or another, Axel was gonna wipe that smirk from that phony kings face.

Axel quickly came back from his thoughts as Kawakami continued to scold them when Shiho raised her hand.

Kawakami stopped for a second before motioning for Shiho to talk.

Taking a deep breath, Shiho said, "Please don't blame the team. I was the one who ignore you and ran to Axel."

Kawakami was taken back by Shiho's selflessness. She took a couple deep breaths before releasing a long sigh.

"Why me…" Kawakami muttered while rubbing her forehead in irritation.

Glaring at Axel for a couple seconds, she turned towards the rest of the team and said, "Fine, I won't blame the team or you, Shiho. However, everyone has to attend detention. Am I clear?"

Everyone nodded.

Sighing one last time, Kawakami muttered, "You can all leave then…" before tiredly walking away.

Everyone quietly watched Kawakami until she was completely out of sight. Suddenly, everyone collapsed to the ground and began laughing.

After some time passed, the laughter died down as Mishima muttered in a shaky voice, "We did it… we won…"

Mishima quickly covered his face with his hands and trembled. Axel, thanks to his enhanced senses, could hear his stiffled sobbing but said nothing.

Shiho wasn't any better as she grabbed Ann, plunged her face into her stomach and started crying with a beautiful smile on her face.

Ann had a few tears on her face as she tightly embraced Shiho. Even Makoto seemed affected as she hugged Ann, who didn't refuse her, and cried together.

Suddenly, the system spoke.

[Second Ranking Quest:

Change the world in any significant way 10 times.

(3/10)

Reward: 40,000 system points, 20 Status points.]

Axel was confused about why he completed the quest but before he could ask, the system explained, [It's due to your affect on Shiho Suzui and Yuuki Mishima. Due to your influence, you've affectively changed them as a person. Mishima will no longer have negative thoughts as you've given him his freedom back while Shiho will no longer be stuck in depression as you've given her a reason to live.]

Axel was stunned. He didn't know that he had that much of an effect on people. However, he noticed something that didn't add up.

"What about Makoto and Sae? Didn't I change them as well?"

[While it is true you helped them become closer, anyone closely related to the fate of a world doesn't count towards the quest unless an extreme change happens. Your actions would be the equivalent of throwing a stick into the gears. While it may stop for awhile, the stick will eventually break and the gears will continue turning.]

Confused, Axel mentally asked, "Closely related to the fate of a world?"

[To put it in simple terms: the protagonist, the heroines and the antagonists are all people closely related to a world's fate. No matter how much you help them, certain things are destined to happen. However, you can change things that are destined to happen but you must be prepared to bare responsibility for your actions.]

Axel thought deeply on the systems words for a couple minutes.

Suddenly, Mishima's voice broke him out of his daze as he screamed, "DOG PILE ON AXEL!!!"

Before Axel could utter a single word in response, Makoto, Ann and Shiho quickly smothered him in an embrace of softness.

"Wow, I'm so jealous Axel. Guess I'll leave you guys to yourselves. Thank me later, hahaha…" Laughed Mishima as he quickly ran away with a huge grin on his face.

Under a pile of soft and fragrant bodies, Axel glared at Mishima's back while blushing and muttered, "Bastard…"

While the word he used was harsh, anyone could tell by the large grin on his face, he didn't mean it.

Suddenly, Axel's blush exploded all over his face as his breathing became rough. One of the girls had accidently grabbed his sleeping dragon, stirring it from it's slumber.

As if on que, Makoto screamed and quickly got off Axel. Her face flushed red while staring at her hand with wide eyes.

Axel, noticing her glancing between her hand and his crotch, blushed deeply while trying to wiggle his way out for the pile of soft bodies.

However, his actions led both Ann and Shiho to release seducive moans as he could feel slightly hard protrusions poking his arms.

Axel ended up giving up as he lay beneath their bodies. A single tear slid down his face as he silently muttered, "God… I swear I'm not a pervert…"

Ann quickly jumped off Axel while covering her chest. Taking laboured breaths with a deep blush on her face, she turned around and quickly left the gym.

Shiho, on the other hand, wrapped her arms around Axel and took a deep breath in, taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking and Axel's brain had short circuited. After a couple breaths, she released Axel with a flushed yet calm face and quietly followed after Ann.

To Axel, her actions looked as if she hugged him so he lightly smiled while watching her leave.

Right as Axel stood up, Makoto quickly walked over and gave him a strong hug, ignoring her rapidly beating heart. The smile on Axel's face widened as he reciprocated her hug before he suddenly burst into laughter and began spinning around with her in his arms.
