[i][color=f26522]”Hey, dad? What are Huntsmen like?”[/color]

[color=f7941d]“Ha ha, they’re powerful people who can fight the dangers of the world, Hana!”[/color]

[color=f26522]“Any danger?”[/color]

[color=f7941d]“Yes. Except thirsty women. Not everyone can fight them.”[/color][/i]

[hr]

She now understood what her father meant.

Here she was, standing like a statue in the midst of an aftermath of total war.

In the beginning, Hottie Rangers Red and Silver created annihilation in the halls. And they said, “Let there be judgement,” and judgement they fell on the women who chased Hana. Each strike and deafening noise drew Hana further and further away from the real world as she could practically feel the river that separated the living and the dead.

When everything fell silent, however, she snapped back to reality.

[color=f26522][i]H-Huh? WHAT HAPPENED?![/i][/color]

Before her, the girls that chased her now lay on the ground, refusing to admit defeat as they twitched and whined in a mixture of sadness and annoyance. While they were sad that they couldn’t reach Hana, they couldn’t help not stay annoyed at the hotties who beat them up. With denial came the acceptance of terms, and the reality that came to be… with Hana far away from their reach.

Meanwhile, Hana wondered what to do with the girls. As if to remind her that she was not alone, the doors suddenly opened, though they were not slammed open at supersonic speeds this time. Instead, they were graceful, opening as they revealed two dashing men.

A slender, beautiful man with long, flowing hair tied into a ponytail, his eyes gentle and steady. Meanwhile, the devilish man who revealed himself from the other side stood tall, his rebellious presence and cool smirk making him contrast with the lean man.

They were…

…totally those guys from before!

Right?

…

Right!! They were those helmet-wearing hotties- er, people!

Did they think of her as a fool?! She just witnessed them wipe the floor on a bunch of students without holding back, and here they were, suddenly trying to be graceful. N-Not that she’d lose to them easily or anything, but still! How did they even end up behind those doors, anyway?

[color=f26522][i]H-How did I almost get convinced by these… these… people?[/i][/color] Hana barely managed to safely piece together the words as a pout slowly entered her face. It wasn’t just a pout- it was a signature pout, one she often used when she had something to say.

Though she wanted to get angry at them for thinking she’d be gullible enough to fall for the obvious lie, a part of her told her that they just wanted to help her. Whether it was for showing off their [s]cool[/s] costumes or actual consideration for her, she did not know, but they still helped her in the end.

As a blush that indicated her surprise came to view, she grumbled, [color=f26522]“T…Thanks, I guess. But you can’t fool me! I know you were the Rangers.”[/color]

Crossing her arms, she steadied her shaky voice as she continued,

[color=f26522]“I didn’t know what to do with those girls. I mean, I’m not weak, so don’t think I am! I was just worried about hurting anyone. You guys helped me, though.”[/color]

She cleared her throat as her usual attitude slowly recovered from the utter shock she had been overwhelmed with.

[color=f26522]“I’m Hana Dulcet. Who exactly are you guys?”[/color]

She knew she had some time to know about their names. They helped her, so why not? The headmaster informed her that she would be able to meet her team soon, anyway. They went by the names Taidan, Sterling, and Sarina. For some reason, he didn’t show her what they looked like, saying that it was impossible to miss them, but she figured she would eventually find out by asking around.

There was no way the two people in front of her were her teammates. She wouldn’t expect her team to dress up in crazy costumes and burst out of doors to take rabid girls by surprise in an attempt to defend a frightened student. They wouldn’t, right?

Right.

They wouldn’t.

So she stared at them expectantly, hoping to dear God that the bad feeling arising in her stomach wasn’t true.
