Edea: Hero Summoning Conspiracy

.

It was early in the morning but the middle school students of Sacred Forest Academy were very excited. Some of them even went early because they heard that starting this week, Kouzuki Kazuya was going to attend his classes once again.

Though Kazuya was already included in the S class' roster ever since his first year of middle school, everyone knew that it was only due to the recent revelation that he was the son of the most likely successor to his own clan's nemesis. This unexpected twist of events even turned the eyes of the prideful students that were also members of the upper class.

Kouzuki Kazuya was no longer a person that could be ignored and while being related to two of the most powerful families in the country, his status could even be compared to the likes of Stockton Kurumi. Unlike his previous life, he couldn't avoid being the center of attention even if he wanted to since he was attending a school like Sacred Forest Academy who had most of its students understand the value of making connections at such an early age.

Since most of the students that were in the middle school department have been with him in the elementary school department, information about Kazuya was easily acquirable to those who weren't informed. They were quite intrigued at his history as well as his personality that deviated highly from all the other students that were members of the illustrious S class.

"He's here!" one of the students shouted as they saw the van that was pulling up. This hadn't changed from those who paid attention when they were in elementary school.

Everyone that gathered at the school gates weren't just waiting for Kazuya, most of the boys that that were here today were present to catch a glimpse of someone else whose name was synonymous to hearing the name of Kouzuki Kazuya.

"She's here!" one of the boys shouted as they saw the van stop and its doors slowly open.

A girl stepped out from the van silently. She had long light grey hair that was tied up neatly in a long ponytail that swayed whenever her head moved. The serene and stoic expression on this pretty girl's face was what mesmerized all those that saw her. This was Shiroyuki Tomoyo, the robot girl that was secretly called the mechanical fairy by her fans who didn't want to acknowledge the name that Kazuya gave her.

It was quite the bright day where there were hardly any clouds so the sun's rays highlighted Tomoyo's snow-like skin which made a lot of girls envious. She glanced at the time and realized that she was still early as she turned around to wait near the gates.

"Hey robot girl!" a loud energetic voice called out Tomoyo's nickname as a tall girl disregarded the attention she garnered and walked directly towards Tomoyo no one dared to approach.

"?" Tomoyo turned to find a tall and tanned girl who despite being in the same S class as Kazuya, regularly attended the class she was in so that she could keep up with the difficult exams the school was known for.

"He's coming today right?" This was Stockton Maron, the girl who declared herself as Kazuya's rival despite her numerous defeats in all the challenges she made him accept throughout the years. It all started with basketball but after Kazuya's continuous refusal to take part in the sport, Maron came up with different methods of challenging him which all ended up in her loss.

*nod* Tomoyo gave a nod. She was already used to this person. Despite their rough meeting, Tomoyo didn't actually mind Maron's aggressive and hostile attitude towards Kazuya because under Kazuya's tutelage, she has learned how to understand and read people which the version of her didn't have in Kazuya's previous life.

*glance glance* Tomoyo glanced around as she heightened her senses. She tried finding the girl who usually accompanied Maron but there was no sign of her. Stockton Kurumi actually transferred out of Sacred Forest Academy when they were in 6th grade but she returned this year unexpectedly. Kazuya still hadn't met this girl but since Tomoyo could feel that there was something off in the area, even if she couldn't tell where Kurumi was, she could sense her presence.

"You really can tell if she's here or not" Maron smiled. She was impressed because even she couldn't tell if Kurumi hid herself. She thought that it was the result of some kind of training that was given to Tomoyo. "She's over there" Maron used her head to point towards the tall tree that was a few steps away from them.

Because Tomoyo glanced over, a lot of people also noticed the strange yet beautiful blond girl who almost blended with the surroundings. Some of them wondered why they didn't notice her before but this was the princess of Stockton International and known as the weird stalker-like girl that followed Kazuya around before she left the school and after she returned.

"Good morning Tomoyo-san" Kurumi held her skirt as she jumped down from the tree. "I still can't thank you enough for answering my questions last time about Kazuya-kun. I really don't want to mess up like I did last time and offend him like I did in the past" Kurumi smiled and expressed her gratitude.

When Kurumi returned to the school and took the exam once again, she was disappointed to find no sign of Kazuya who she looked forward to seeing after being gone for a while. She kept up with the news about Kazuya and even paid attention to Kazuno Kaguya's career. This was when she talked to the girl who Kazuya usually hung around with and explained to Tomoyo that she wanted to be able to get along with him this time around.

Tomoyo didn't know why Kazuya didn't get along with this girl until Kurumi told her the reason why. Kurumi proceeded to ask a lot of questions to find out more about Kazuya from the person who was called his personal robot. Tomoyo didn't think much of it and answered the questions she could thinking that it would help Kazuya better if this girl didn't piss him off so much.

Some of the boys couldn't help but be envious towards Kouzuki Kazuya because not only was the famous idol in their middle school waiting for him, even the famous Stockton Kurumi and her cousin whose status was well above theirs weren't exceptions.

The most annoying thing about it was that aside from Tomoyo, Kazuya treated the other two beautiful girls as if they were nuisances.

"Wow… look at this crowd" another luxurious car stopped and let out a boy who was amazed at the amount of people that gathered around. He moved towards Tomoyo after spotting her and greeted the robot girl. "I gotta hand it to this school. News really travels fast"

"Not like you came here to study you fool" Maron commented after seeing Takaya's usual carefree and frivolous look.

"Hey that stings a little" Takaya showed off his skills as he clutched his chest as if he was hit by an arrow. "I can't help it if my schedule keeps me from going to school as much as I'd like"

"Stop joking around. Although you've been getting more roles in television lately, we both know that it takes less effort compared to the continuous theatre performances you used to do" Maron scoffed at him and they started arguing.

These two started to talk to each other after Maron gave late thanks when she thought that it was Takaya who saved the two from Ringo and Suzaku when it was their first day in the academy. With Kazuya and Kurumi gone, Takaya and Maron found something in common when they wanted to talk badly about Kazuya when he wasn't present.

While the others were distracted with Takaya and Maron's usual loud banter, Tomoyo turned towards the gate and waited silently towards the group of students who were entering from the uphill path. Everyone was a little curious as to where she was going and were shocked when she stopped in front of a messy haired student wearing thick glasses.

*tug tug* she tugged on the sleeve of the student who ignored her and passed by stunning the students who paid attention. 'How dare this guy brush off our mechanical fairy!?' was what they thought.

"You should have just followed quietly you know" The boy sighed as he gave up. This voice stunned all those who thought badly of the seemingly random student who turned towards Tomoyo sluggishly.

"Good morning… Kazuya" it was soft but a lot of people were waiting to hear the voice that could only be heard when she talked to one person. Everyone realized who the strange boy was after Tomoyo confirmed it with her voice.

"I give up" Kazuya took off the thick glasses and took a hair tie from his pocket and fixed the mess that hid his identity almost perfectly. "Good morning to you too. I thought I would get to enter school quietly this time" it was as if he had transformed after he fixed himself. No one expected Kouzuki Kazuya to walk himself up the steep slope leading to the school or disguising himself as a student who would normally have been ignored.

*nod* Tomoyo was satisfied after he returned her greeting and pulled him to enter the school. She knew that he didn't want to stay for much longer because of the crowd so Tomoyo wasted no time and pulled him towards the classroom before everyone recovered from the shock.

"Looks like there's one thing that he can't beat Shiroyuki-san at" Takaya commented.

"What's that?" Maron was interested because it might have been something she could be better at Kazuya too.

"He can't beat her when it comes to being conscious of each other" Takaya laughed. He meant it as a joke but apart from Maron who whacked him for it, Kurumi stared at Tomoyo and Kazuya's back and couldn't help but feel a little envious at how close they looked.

Tomoyo may have been an extremely quiet girl but everyone knew that she was someone that was considerate towards Kazuya alone. No matter who tried to approach her because of her popularity, she never gave them a second glance or treated them indifferently. This could also be said towards Takaya who was considered part of their group. There was only ever one person who the robot treated differently. It was who everyone recognized as this robot girl's owner, Kouzuki Kazuya.

Kazuya and the robot girl pulling him along moved swiftly so by the time everyone regained their senses, the two were already entering the building. They moved towards the school and expected there to be a lot of commotion because there was something that still hadn't been settled yet. It was the club activity apart from Kendo that Kazuya would be participating in this year.

A lot of clubs anticipated Kazuya's attendance because a lot of them were hoping to recruit him because not only did a club he joined improve a lot, all of them even went to win national championships for that year so the sports clubs had their eyes on him while the others who he had already participated in could only wish that he would pay them another visit.

Kazuya had already been clear about it that he wouldn't join a club that he had already joined or the ones who didn't meet his requirements. A lot of them would visit shrines to pray that their tournament schedules wouldn't coincide with any of the Kendo competitions because only then would they have the chance to recruit Kazuya not only for his good luck but also for his yet to be broken legend of making champions out of any sports club he joins.

Thankfully, Kazuya had been a part of S class so he had privileges to enter the classroom where no one who wasn't invited in was allowed to enter. He stayed there with Tomoyo until it was finally time for their class where he was taken to class 2-B of the middle school department.

This was the robot girl's homeroom class and hasn't changed since it was also the sports class. Tomoyo could have also joined the ranks of the S class elites but Kazuya and Takaya didn't want her to have such privileges. There was also the matter with the exams that would be a burden for this robot girl so they discouraged her from joining such a troublesome class in which she reluctantly accepted.

They entered the 2-B's classroom just as it was almost time for class to start. Strangely enough, Tomoyo sat down on the usual seat which hasn't changed much ever since they entered Sacred Forest Academy. Though Kazuya wasn't part of the regular class anymore, his seat was till reserved right in between Tomoyo and the window.

"You've been away for a while so I bet you don't know about our new music teacher" Takaya grinned mischievously. "She's very very pretty" Takaya's eyes looked as if it was glowing as he told Kazuya about their new teacher. Knowing Takaya who was usually surrounded by attractive people in both the theatre and entertainment circles, Kazuya couldn't help but be a little curious. He was still a boy who is now in puberty after all.

"Alright class, we're about to—" the teacher stopped and noticed that a lot of new faces in the classroom.

"Huh!?" Kazuya froze. "What is she doing here?"
