The athletic festival was coming up soon. We had learned our lesson last year, so we were planning much more aggressive tactics this year. Instead of going to class, we were gathered around a map of the general sports ground in the conference room.

Snowy and you placed red chips on the map to indicate the arrangement of personnel and I determined where to place the security cameras.

“My patrol route needs space to swing a long weapon.”

“But our additional personnel should be arriving soon. Y’know, that second Vice Chancellor’s aide arriving from the Mountain. Will he make it in time for the athletic festival?”

“Don’t ask me,” said Lady and the Boss. Those two hadn’t taken part last year, so they were the ones asking most of the questions. They sat side by side across the table from me where they viewed the schedule.

“Hey, what’s this Steel Ball Rolling event on the 3rd day?”

“The classes compete by rolling a 3m steel ball along the 10km perimeter of the general sports ground. Things tend to get dicey around the corners.”

“I-is that safe? Won’t they be going really fast to get 1st place?”

“The real threat is the class in last place. They get desperate and start sending their ball in some crazy directions. It is amusing seeing the spectators running for their lives, though.”

“Let me guess, you made that happen with your Mobilized Writing last year?”

“I call it unplanned audience participation.”

“So do we need to reinforce the corners? I have noticed the walls getting so tall it looks like a colosseum,” said the Boss.

You nodded and checked the schedule.

“Is anyone here participating in the 24 Hour Endurance Secret Talent Tournament starting midday on the 4th day?”

“I was thinking of it,” I said.

Everyone gave me looks that said “what are you plotting this time??” before the door opened and Sensei entered.

“Um, is this where I find the Chancellor’s Officers?”

“Perfect timing, Sensei. Stand right there so I can demonstrate my secret talent. I’ve been training this one since elementary school, so it’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of thing.”

I gently patted Sensei on the back. Everyone watched with bated breath, a few seconds passed, and then Sensei held her arms around her chest and crouched down.

“Eh? Huh? W-wait!”

A moment later, Snowy realize what had happened.

“You removed it!? That quickly!? That is indeed a fearsome talent!”

“Eh? Eh? What happened? C’mon, tell me.”

No one could blame Lady for not understanding, but I could see Sensei looking tearfully up at me while crouched on the ground.

“Umm, are you mad?” I asked.

She sobbed with tears on her cheeks. Uh, oh.

I felt all the girls’ gazes stabbing into my back while I tried to pick Sensei up. My plan was to carry her to the locker room and try to calm her there, but just as I crouched down, the toe of a sneaker entered the corner of my vision.

'''If you throw a kick with belief in your heart-

I noticed this Mobilized Writing was similar to mine, but it was already too late. There was no blocking this, so I focused on dodging. After seeing the kicking leg fly past me, I saw the short black-haired boy it belonged to. He wore a black school uniform and he pulled back his kicking leg.

“Looks like my new superior has some behavioral issues to work out. Listen up: I will now be looking after you as a Vice Chancellor’s aide. I am in Class 1-B and my name is-”

“I dub thee Little Boy.”

The backhand blow I threw in reply sent the overly talkative idiot flying. A solid punch was the best medicine for an ill-behaved underclassman. After punching him, I stripped him naked, dragged him around the halls, and then left in the schoolyard before returning.

“What was that? ''Who'' was that?” asked the others.

Sensei responded to that while still crouched on the ground waiting for me.

“I’m not telling you until you apologize.”

I already gave him a name, so what more is there to know?

'''Author Comment:

Preparing for the athletic festival.

They’re again discussing events like those in Osaka, so I don’t think Tokyo is much different during a festival.

By the way, removing a bra is all about instantaneous grip strength.
