"Zephyr, we declared ourselves out of your preposterous treatment!"

"Fufu, we will not yield to you no matter what, even if it means going through the pain."

"They're right, your tyranny is unpardonable!"

"We will defeat thou, and take back our freedom in our hands!"

And so began spouting nonsense the four classmates I had become acquainted with over the course of last week I don't even recall doing.

This was nothing but harmful rumours so please stop it.

"Zephyr! As such, we are going to apply for a ‹Guild war› against thou! Any ‘But’ of ’If’ is unacceptable!"

Saturn-kun stepped forward as their representative and said. His tone was as grim as if he was declaring a war.

How did the situation come to this?

No matter how much I tried to fumble around my memory, I couldn't find a single clue for it.

Today was Monday, the day after we held our 3rd Welcome Party 'n' Celebration.

It was tough yesterday. I was fed so much by the girls that I couldn't even move, and naturally, I couldn't go back to my room in that state.

In the end, I had to lay out ‹Soft Convenient Mat› there and spent yesterday's night in the guild room.

I had to wake up early in the morning to return to my room for shower and change so I was also sleep deprived. I so much want to eat the sleep resistance food item. But that's too expensive....Though delicious as well.

There's not much Shining Dinosaur Steak left so I would like to save it for emergency time. Control Zephyr, control.

I left my room and slowly headed towards the campus while struggling off with my desire. But I guess I took the start very much slowly, I confirmed I would be late for class at my current pace so I used ‹Segway Revised› for the first time.

The road was completely empty as I was running latw so I sprinted the segway at full speed but my words, that was too fun.

I slid into the class and was relieved to see Phyllis-sensei not present in the class. I barely avoided getting late due to Segway but that moment of respite lasted only for a few moments.

Starting with Saturn-kun, the Quartet suddenly stood in front of me in a line.

And that's how it led to the starting.

I still couldn't pinpoint what led things to this point.

"You guys, return back to your seat if you're done with the morning greeting."

As I was cocking my head in puzzlement, I sensed someone's presence behind me and needless to say, the said person was Phyllis-sensei.

I really made it a critical moment. So close.

I took my seat as if nothing happened and today's classes began.

"Hey Zephyr, you couldn't forget the declaration we had made in the morning, do you!?"

"Eh?...... What was it again?"

"Fufu...fufufufufu. It's killime... But I will not lose..."

"Damnit! How long are you going to continue your tyranny!"

"Don't forget Me! I should have already declared our intention clearly in the morning!"

I think they did talk about something in the morning but I had just let it slide through one ear to another since I barely made it to class and was slightly drowsy.

But, that's not a problem. We have forged our friendship quite well in the past week. I just need to ask them to retell if I forgot something.

"Can you tell me what it was once again?"

"Choke... Kuh, fine. I will tell you again. Everyone, formation! It's time to re-do!"

"Ah, can you cut these sorts of things and just make it quick? You see, recess isn't too long after all."

"Choke Choke"

It was noon. I had just returned back to the classroom after continuing my journey of the conquest of all cooking menus in the cafeteria as usual.

There was barely 5 minutes of time before the recess ended. I had wanted to quickly sort out the materials for the next class but Saturn-kun made some painful noise. Is he suffering from something? Maybe he ate too much. I could sympathize with the suffering since I had also gone through the same ordeal yesterday.

"After school... We will declare it again after school! Wash your neck and wait for us!"

Saturn-kun and others returned back to their seats leaving behind these words.

I get it, they must have come to request for another training session. They're just acting tsun-tsun because of their pride. I am no one to deny it if they desire so, all right, I will thoroughly train them today too. Hmm, I think they can handle a bit of a harder schedule than usual now.

While I was devising my plan for that, I didn't notice the Quartet ahead of me shuddering from the chill.

And, after school.

"Let's go Zephyr, come with us!"

"Hey, where are you guys going? The beginner gate is here."

"Sure enough, you didn't even put us in your eyes!"

Saturn-kun's face was dyed in rage when I called out to them seeing they were heading in the opposite direction of the beginner gate for some reason.

It seemed whatever they had to do wasn't related to the beginner gate.

The place we had arrived was ‹Reception for Guild request›. It was a section for the students to go through the procedure if they wanted to register a guild, join a guild or wanted to apply for guild battle etc. I had also come here yesterday for Rina's joining procedure.

What in the world have they come here to do? Wait, it couldn't be......

"Hey, Saturn-kun. You know I can't be in multiple positions since I'm already the guild master of Eden."

"No one is asking you to do so!"

I thought they were here to invite me to their guild but the situation seems different apparently.

"Listen well, I will declare it once again!"

"Oh, keep your voice down. It would be annoying to others else."

"Shit!"

Saturn-kun gritted his teeth so hard as if he was trying to endure something.

I was a bit scared at the symbol of his rage, his blood veins popping out on his forehead.

"Fufufufufu, leave this to me, Saturn."

"Kuh, go ahead Jilong."

Saturn-kun backed down honestly when Jilong-kun raised his voice.

As far as I have seen, Jilong-kun didn't give the image of shouting needlessly with his level-headedness. A right person for this place.

"Fufu, I will make it clear. Do a guild battle with us, Zephyr. Should we win, we will be calling ourselves out of the torture like training, no your training itself."

What torture like training he's talking about? I seriously couldn't recall anything of that level......
