After not seeing each other for two weeks, why meet each other again at all? Seiji felt that it would have been better if they never met again .

"Good evening, Mitarai-san," Seiji greeted Akatsuki calmly as he walked outside and closed his door . "You actually visited such a rundown place like mine for a second time . It must trouble you greatly . "

"Something like this? Not at all . " Akatsuki smiled . "It's quite worth it as long as you understand my sincerity . "

Anyone that heard this conversation and saw this scene would likely think that Akatsuki was a perfectly nice young man .

"Sincerity… Indeed, I can understand . " Seiji looked at Akatsuki . "As for what you wish to discuss with me, let's continue our conversation at the same place as last time . "

"Sure thing . " Akatsuki nodded .

Seiji glanced at Akatsuki's Spirit-branded Retainer standing beside the latter as he walked towards Akatsuki's car . This person was wearing a brown windbreaker and black gloves—Naruo Yashuu .

Compared to when Seiji saw him at the Winter Snow Festival Yin-Yang Master party, this icy-seeming Spirit-branded Retainer's hair appeared to be darker and there was an ominous sensation coming from him .

They took Akatsuki's car together to the business district, went to the same coffee café as last time, and obtained a private room .

Just like last time, Seiji and Akatsuki ordered coffee and remained silent for several seconds while exchanging glances .

"Two weeks has been plenty of time, Haruta-san . Have you finished considering things?"

"To be honest, I haven't really thought much about it . After all, many things have been occurring recently . "

Something flashed in Akatsuki's eyes .

"Well, that must have been hard on you . However, please understand how it is for me as well . I've already waited half a month, and wish to have a clear answer from you . "

"My apologies . I shall start considering your proposal seriously right away . Please show me your sincerity by waiting another two weeks . " Seiji smiled .

The dark blue handsome boy's expression became somewhat grimmer .

"Please don't say something so foolish, Haruta-san . "

"I'm not saying something foolish, Mitarai-san . " Seiji maintained his smile . "I'm sincerely requesting you for another two weeks' time . One full month would be even better . I'll definitely think of an answer by then . "

"Stop joking around!" Akatsuki's gaze turned icy . "Don't dare to say something so foolish to me a second time . "

"In that case, I'll change my wording . Mitarai-san, please seriously consider my sincerity, and don't reject me so casually . Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it . "

"How ridiculous! I'm…" Akatsuki suddenly paused in the middle of speaking .

He suddenly recalled that these words were . . .

"You told me those words last time," Seiji stated while retracting his smile . "How do you feel now? Multiply your current disgust by one thousand times, and you can probably arrive at how I felt back then . "

The private room in the coffee café fell silent .

A server arrived with their coffees . The server then left after leaving the coffee behind .

"This is your answer?" Akatsuki's tone of voice turned icy as well .

"Indeed," Seiji stated calmly . "From the very start, I didn't like you, and really wanted to beat you up . "

"Hah, a foolish ordinary person's emotions… no, I should say piece of trash . " Akatsuki chuckled coldly . "A piece of trash scumbag like you isn't even worthy of approaching Natsuya . "

"However, I'm much closer to her than someone like you who's no ordinary person… oh, my mistake, I should have said someone like you who's not a person at all," Seiji mentioned lightly .

Akatsuki was filled with rage upon hearing this!

"Garbage! Don't think that just because you're part of the Haruta Family that I wouldn't…"

"I never thought so in the first place . I wouldn't doubt your shamelessness, because you're the type of guy capable of doing anything," Seiji said as he looked at Akatsuki . "You believe that you're so special and look down upon others . You're deluded by your own feeling of superiority, but don't even know that there's too many people just like you in this world . "

"You…" The dark blue haired boy's handsome face was becoming distorted .

"You want to kill me, while I want to beat you up . When we combine our desires, the conclusion is quite simple . " There was a steely glint in Seiji's eyes . "Let's duel, Akatsuki Mitarai . "

"What…?"

"Let's have a duel, you and me . "

Akatsuki paused in surprise for a moment before his mouth slowly arced upwards as he began laughing .

"Heh heh heh heh… Hahahahahaha!"

He laughed louder and louder with an obvious tone of condescension in his voice .

Seiji didn't change his expression as he silently listened to Akatsuki finish his laughing .

"A piece of trash like you!! Is unworthy of challenging me to a duel!!!"

The Mitarai Family young master made such a condescending statement after he finally finished his fit of laughter .

'It's appeared, a classical antagonist's line from xianxia novels…' Seiji thought that to himself without letting his emotions be affected in the slightest by Akatsuki's acerbity .

Just as Seiji was thinking about what words he should respond with, Akatsuki continued talking, "But, I should thank you for your foolishness! A duel will give me the perfect opportunity to deal with you!"

'Yeah, yeah, thanks for your hard work in acting the part of the classical antagonist . '

Seiji mentally commented as his mouth arced upwards .

"I'm delighted to come to a mutual accord with you . In that case, let's discuss the formal procedures for the duel . " Seiji had a tone as if he was at a business meeting .

Akatsuki was rendered speechless by this .

He mysteriously felt like he had somehow been one-upped when he saw how calm Seiji was compared to his own loss of control regarding his own emotions .

Natsuya received a phone call from Seiji .

When she heard his explanation of what just happened, she paused in surprise for two full seconds .

"I apologize . Please tell me what you just said one more time . "

Seiji repeated what he told her again .

The student council president took a deep breath after confirming that she hadn't heard incorrectly .

"You're going to duel Akatsuki Mitarai!? What the hell, Seiji!?"

"It's just a duel . That's something perfectly normal . "

"The hell with it being normal! Why did this suddenly happen!? What led to this!?"

"He came to visit me again to hear my answer . That was my answer . " Seiji chuckled . "We both wanted to kill each other and reached an excellent mutual accord . "

"The hell with mutual accord! Don't make it sound like you were having a business negotiation! Do you know what you just did!?"

"I know . I suppose it was half suicidal . "

"Only half!? Since you already know, why…"

"Of course, it was for you . "

"Er…" Natsuya felt a sudden impact from this .

"A brave knight wouldn't fear sacrificing himself in order to protect the beautiful princess… actually, something like that is too cliché . " Seiji chuckled . "Actually, it was more for myself, because I just happen to really dislike him . "

"Seiji…"

"I know that I lack power . That was hammered into me all the more deeply last week, when I couldn't do anything about the Midnight Spell . But even so, there's still some things I want to try," Seiji stated calmly . "I hope that you can be a witness to my duel, Natsuya . "

Natsuya fell silent for a moment as something flashed in her eyes .

"I refuse," she ended up telling him .

"Natsuya…"

"Doing something so foolish… and so willful, have you ever considered my feelings?" The student council president's words were filled with anger .

"Er…"

"Akatsuki Mitarai is supposed to be my opponent . I'm the one who got you involved, but now you're saying that you're going to be the one dueling with him, and asking me to be a witness… There should be a limit to your foolishness, idiot!!"

Seiji fell silent upon hearing this .

"Cancel the duel and stop getting involved in this . Since you already know that you lack strength, obediently walk away," Natsuya spoke in a low voice . "If you insist on continuing with your willfulness… I shall stop you!"
