Edea: Hero Summoning Conspiracy

.

One wouldn't rely mess with a student from S class or even think of fighting back. People would normally avoid encountering anyone from S class because they wouldn't be able to do anything because of the power they wielded outside. Sacred Forest Academy may have been a place where they try to treat everyone equally but the fact that these people can still use their influences to bully others outside was still a problem even though the school had promised to prevent these kinds of incidents.

But this time, people stayed to bear witness to this occasion because this was special. Kurogane Suzaku, a member of the dreaded S class tried to pick a fight with Kouzuki Kazuya, a member of the sports class and a person whose standing would not lose against this arrogant S class member.

No one really wondered what the reason would be because most S class members were people who liked to throw around their weight. The difference between them and Kouzuki Kazuya was like night and day. Unlike those arrogant people from the S class, Kouzuki Kazuya was known for being very approachable and very amicable.

Because of the incident that happened to Kazuya, not only was he seen as some kind of heroic figure, he was seen as the ideal S class member though he was not part of the illustrious cast. This was because with his lineage revealed, the secret that he had rejected being part of the elite class became known. Kazuya just shook it off by saying that he has no real reason to join S class so he opted not to join it because he really had no need to.

Everyone wished that the current members of S class would take him as an example but they were also glad to have someone like him to represent the normal students of their school. Seeing the arrogant Suzaku grabbing Kazuya immediately gathered everyone's attention as they all silently looked at Suzaku with judging eyes.

"I say… Isn't your skin too thick to be acting like this towards me? You already tried sending your goons to threaten my big sis and you still have the gall to act like this in front of me?" Kazuya raised a palm to stop Tomoyo from stepping in. "I already ignored you because we've taken care of the situation but you still insist on going this route inside the school?"

"Shut your dirty mouth!" he knew what Kazuya was doing because he was not unfamiliar with it. He was feeding that crowd information for them to understand the situation in Kazuya's favor. "Tell me where Ringo is!" this questioned stunned all those who were listening in.

"I don't know what or who you're talking about. Is that the name of the arrogant little girl that hangs around with you?" Kazuya slowly moved his palm to hold one of the arms holding him up. He grasped it which caused Suzaku to feel pain, letting Kazuya back on his feet after. "So that's the girl from this school that was missing?"

"Stop pretending! You said it yourself!"

"I don't remember having conversations with you or that little girl unless you count the day you two tried to force the Stockton girls to get along with you" Kazuya's statement made them frown further upon Suzaku. This had only been a rumor but it turns out these S class elitists really did try and coerce those two girls that everyone saw as someone that was influenced by Kazuya to be like normal students like Takaya.

Kazuya let go of the arm he was gripping but not until he mumbled words that only Suzaku could hear in a low and mocking tone. "(You should contact her father, you may even be spared some of the body parts in their possession)"

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Suzaku ignored the pain in is arm and threw a punch towards Kazuya's face in rage.

*GRAB* Unfortunately for him, Kazuya simply blocked it before turning around at the crowd.

"He attacked me twice now so this undoubtedly gives me the right to retaliate in self defense, right?" Kazuya smiled as he squeezed Suzaku's fist, causing the latter to fall to his knees.

""YES""

"He needs to be taught a lesson"

"So much for being a model student!"

"Don't you dare hurt our Kouzuki-kun!"

The students agreed, some of them even cheered their support. Kazuya gave a small thanks before spinning around to give Suzaku's head a spinning wheel kick that caused him to immediately crash into the ground. Kazuya glanced towards the security camera before turning towards the fallen Suzaku whose sight was spinning and flashing at this moment.

"I feel sorry for the situation of your friend but that does not give you the right to use it as an excuse to pin some blame on me just so you can have a reason to beat me. If you dare come out in the open to challenge me, I will not back down so make sure you prepare yourself to put your intentions out in the open next time" Kazuya turned his back on the fallen Suzaku and walked with Tomoyo to head for their classroom.

The crowd dispersed and went towards their own classes. It was the last day of school so everyone had been looking forward to starting the day so it could end sooner. Now that the show was over, their admiration for Kazuya went up and unexpectedly, so did the S class members in his vicinity. Topics about Kurumi and Maron who mingled with regular students normally were a hot topic and the acceptance of the mischievous Takaya spread around.

Shishio had a smirk on his face as he looked proudly at his son. Now that he has seen the boy in action, any doubt that he didn't have any characteristics befitting a Kurogane because of Kyouko's upbringing was brushed aside. He didn't know how Kyouko did it but the Kazuya he saw with his own eyes was the ideal successor he never hoped he would be able to produce.

He drove off with a satisfied expression. Nagisa by his side had silently been observing her husband and was even more convinced that her plans must be put to action. Her only problem was how? The situation had already been tense enough after Suzaku's previous actions. How can she make it so that she wouldn't implicate the Kurogane family in the event that it fails?

.

When class ended, summer officially began for the students of Sacred Forest Academy. While every student had been looking forward to the vacation, Kazuya had mixed feelings about it. It was a summer that would be full of changes to the life he had gotten used to.

"Let's go, let's go!" Takaya wasted no time after class had ended to take Kazuya to his place. He unfortunately missed the incident this morning and was surprised when Kazuya was summoned by the faculty at some point in class.

Pretty much nothing happened to Kazuya as people came in to testify for him even though they weren't needed. The security footage was enough to determine that he was not at fault. They only reprimanded Kazuya for using a little too much force for which they couldn't really blame him because of the family that Suzaku had belonged to and the statements saying that he made multiple moves on Kazuya outside the school already.

Due to the current situation, Jirou had assigned additional personnel to keep watch over Kazuya and Tomoyo. Since Kazuya's schedule had been pretty much decided to be dedicated towards his deal with Takaya, his time was mostly going to be spent completing the project as soon as possible. Kanade was of course very interested in the idea so she agreed to put Kazuya to the test.

Kazuya had been taken to the studio where filming for his parts was supposed to begin. Though most students that went to Sacred Forest Academy had some kind of influence, they still couldn't help themselves but be intimidated by the combined escorts of both the Aoki family and the newly assigned personnel to watch over Kazuya.

Who would have thought that in this day and age, there were turbulent times in which the authorities have no control over. It wasn't that they didn't want to intervene but they were quite powerless if the parties themselves wanted to settle this on their own. No other parties had been affected so they opted to stand on the sidelines as they already knew that they would suffer the most if they stood in between the two factions.

"So cute~!" Kanade exclaimed as Kazuya stepped out wearing the kimono they had picked for him. He appeared like a girl that was in middle school and the Kanade's own staff were quite satisfied with their handiwork.

"So this is the one you were talking about Kanade-san?" The drama's director was led into the room to meet Kazuya. Even someone like Kazuya who was clueless at what the trends were in his previous life knew this famous director. He had been responsible for multiple dramas making it across the sea and started the fad of foreigners watching his work.

"Well you won't be disappointed for trusting me director. This one here took a while to convince since he's not interested in the entertainment business"

"Is that so?" the director was quite surprised. He assumed that Kazuya had some kind of background seeing as there were influential sponsors that hinted that they looked forward to Kazuya's character in particular. "There had been a few changes to the script but we're mostly shooting the scenes that aren't changed so you will have time to review them. Kanade-san has been bragging that you can memorize a script so quickly after all" he smiled at Kazuya. If he didn't know in advance that he was a boy, he would have actually mistaken him for a girl judging by his current appearance.

"Changes?" Kazuya turned towards Kanade whose smiling lips were twitching when she noticed his gaze. Though he had problems with this, he already had to go through with this for the company as well. "I will review it later"

"That's the spirit!" the director handed him a thick paperback that had the drama's title in front of it. This was the complete script and it included all the lines of the cast. Kazuya took a peek at the cast, since he knew the director, he was a little curious about who else was going to make an appearance.

*plop* The script fell from his hands as soon as he saw one of the names that had been cast.

"Director!" Kazuya surprised everyone with his sudden action. "Please let everyone refer to me as 'Kaguya' like the character in the story. It can also appear as my stage name for the credits. I need it to get myself in character" Kazuya desperately requested.

"That's no problem. Since Kanade-san has yet to decide on your stage name, we can go with Kaguya for the meantime" the director was happy. If he used the character name as his own stage name then if Kazuya was indeed as talented as Kanade said he is, he would be remembered as the director that was responsible for Kazuya's stage name.

"Thank you" Kazuya gave a sigh of relief.

"Oh, speaking of which, Kanade tells me that you have experience with kendo?" the director seemed to have thought of something and turned towards Kazuya who was startled by the question.

"A little bit" he replied.

"One of the people cast as your character's enemy is a famous and pretty girl that is undefeated in the middle school level kendo you know. Will you be willing to cooperate with her to coordinate stunts that would help liven up the show?" this was one of the changes he was talking about. More details had been added to Kazuya's part of the story and it included more scenes.

"Sorry director but I think it would be best and more natural if we try to do it naturally first. I think it would be better and wouldn't look too forced for us rookies if we did it that way" Kazuya was nervous but he was still able to say his suggestion out loud.

"I like the way you think kid!" the director gave him a thumbs up. He liked this idea and Kazuya had a point, it would look even more natural if they treated this as some sort of match because they were not professionals who could do it on cue nor were any stunt doubles prepared because Kanade had insisted that they went on despite of the changes to the script. "I'll let the other kid know" the director happily stepped out.

"What's going on? It's quite unusual for you to be actively participating. You've even given us good suggestions" Kanade felt something was amiss so she decided to ask what Kazuya was up to.

"This has been more troublesome than I would have hoped for. This was not part of the deal I made with Takaya, Aunt Kanade" Kazuya grumbled. "Your son knows that I've been avoiding that same girl who just got cast as the person I'm going to be fighting against!"

"Huh? You know Kuronuma Ayame?"
