I would like to thank niflheimr14. Thank you for changing my mind in publishing my story... I seriously don't know how to thank you....

Anyways, apologize to my blabbering.... Let's get into the story now!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We arrived at the gigantic fancy building with our luggage and I stare at the building in awe..... Geez never saw this building up close until now....

"Tootsuki is the parent organization of all the hotels and ryokan of this area." Ibusaki-chan stated.

"I see.... Nothing I heard surprise me more...." No, I'm sure there's still something that'll surprise us more that this....

"I heard that on normal days, one night costs 80,000 Yen...."

"What?! Woah imagine what we could buy for the restaurant!" I told onii-chan and he nodded. I came here before but I don't have the knowledge about this building.....

After the small talk, we gather at the hall. Although my hearing is very sensitive, but this unpleasant silence..... It doesn't even feel like more than 1000 students are in here.... I spotted a familiar figure, so did my twin.

"Oh isn't that Nikumi!"

"Oii, Mito-chan!" both of us called out and she turned her head.

"Yu-Yukihira!? And Haru-sama?!!" she touched her hair nervously as we walk towards her. And I hear whispers between students.....

'That transfer student....'
'Yukihira Soma.....'
'Haru-sama.....'

Mito-chan told us to be careful, but careful of what?

Chapelle-sensei then stand outside and silence the students and he introduce the guests, which is the alumnus of the school. I looked at the alumnus walked out and caught some person I knew. That bunch huh..... A guy with coral-colored hair had just expel a student just because of the smell of his hairdressing product. Hmph, as picky as usual.

"Ahh! Haru-chan!!" a female voice pierced my ear and the figure of hers enter my view.

"Hi-Hinako-san....." I called out her name with difficulty because she is holding my hand.

She noticed my uneasiness and let go, "Gomen Haru-chan." I just smiled and shook my head.

I saw Donata-san went to Megumi-chan but then Hinako-san stopped him to flirt her furthermore. And she's flirting Megumi-chan herself.

Donata-san said to me "Ah, long time no see, Haru-chan~ I see you are still as beautiful as ever~ Mm, the fragrance you gave out is astonishing." Gosh, chills.....

"Nice to see you again Donata-san.... Please refrain from using that kind of cheesiness to talk to me next time...." And then they went back as Chapelle-sensei glared at them.

"Hey Haru, you know these guys?" onii-chan asked and the polar star members look like they wanted an answer too.

I sigh "unfortunately yes. Long story short, I met them last year at this training camp but I'm not participating in it, I was invited. I don't know why I'm invited, that's all." I explained to them.

"So that's why you're not around last year...." Kyoko-chan said and I nodded.

Then, a man with short brown hair and sharp eyes came out too, he's the head chef of the Tootsuki Resort.

"Oh, Gin-kun" I whisper. He's the only alumni I see as a friend. After he gave us an advice, the students were parted into groups.

"Let's meet again in Marui-chan's room!" I said and went to the examination place with onii-chan and Megumi-chan.

When Hinako-san saw me, her eyes were shining like diamonds and that really make me super uncomfortable.

"Hinako-san.... Please stop staring at me and gave us the assignment...." She pouted and tear off her view. I wobble back to Megumi-chan and she caught me by my hand. I flinched at the touch but I didn't took back my arm. Hinako-san wanted us to pair up, but unfortunately the amount of students was an odd.

She saw me standing alone and announced "Haru-chan, you may enter a pair and form a three, or you can do it by yourself."

I mouthed a thanks to her and went to onii-chan. "You're not doing by yourself? You know I can handle it myself...."

I huffed "So you're saying you don't need my help?"

"You can say that. I mean, if I had to get to the top, I have to be independent, y'know?"

"Make sense. Then, good luck!" I sticked out my thumb and parted away with them, standing by a blank station.

"You're Yukihira Soma right?" I heard a voice and turned..... Ah, it seems I didn't notice him.....

So, are we having another challenge?
