For Kivotos, A Destructive Genius

"You're kidding me. We have to go through C&C?"

"Sorry Stefanos, I know they're the one thing you told me to avoid. But you'll do it for the juniors, right?"

Sensei looks at Stefanos with pleading eyes.

"...If I end up under Neru's boot, it's all your fault Sensei."

"Don't be like that, we can help you after we're done!" Sensei proposes.

"What help? You'd just get in the way, Neru is a messy fighter. Plus, I'm sure you called me 'special forces' for Neru."

A guilty looking Sensei confirms the answer for Stefanos.

After a little more back and forth, Sensei lays out the plan:

"First, we 'attack' the student council, but it's really just sending Aris in like a Trojan horse. Then we'll trap the maid in charge of guarding the student council. The student council already knows that we'll attack, but that's all part of the plan. Then we can trap-"

Stefanos raises an eyebrow before cutting Sensei off.

"Wait. Keep it simple, it feels like your plan revolves around avoiding Double O."

"Of course, isn't that the most logical?" Sensei asks.

"Then what am I here for? Don't be afraid to use your students to their limit, Sensei. In a battle, you can't expect to win without your full effort."

"But I can't risk-"

Stefanos cuts Sensei off again.

"Risk what? Sensei, I am someone who's playing this game of life at a disadvantage. If I don't give it my all, I won't win. That's the reality for weaklings like you and me."

...

Sensei understood what Stefanos meant. His loyal students are ready to risk their all for him, but he pushes their determination aside instead of utilizing it, which is what they want. Stefanos truly does give it his all, using everything in his arsenal until his body's beat to the bones.

"Alright Stefanos. Plan B. The Engineering department, Veritas, and the Game Development Club will fight with their all against the student council and the lesser members of C&C. As for you..."

"I know. Wish me luck."

"IS IT YOU PUNKS STIRRING UP TROUBLE?"

A rowdy girl with pink hair stood in front of the Game Development Club, clearly furious.

"It's Double O! Why is she here now?" Midori says.

The Club was on their way to group up with the rest of the student council attack squad, but they were cut off by the one and only...

"Blinding Light!"

Aris fires a powerful laser beam towards Neru, who quickly jumps to avoid it, becoming airborne. As she falls to the ground, her fingers hold the triggers of her guns. As a result, a relentless barrage of bullets fly towards Aris, who promptly sets her massive cannon in front of her to avoid being pelted.

The laser beam leaves a hole in the ceiling, causing structural support to crumble as the ceiling dismantles and comes down, covering the hallway with debris and dust as the two parties struggle to find each other. In the midst of all this, Neru is still firing while climbing and jumping around broken objects on the ground, her eyes raging with bloodthirst.
