The next day, the Service Club door was pushed open slowly.
Without knocking.
So naturally, as if the owner was returning to their own home.
A long-haired woman wearing a Sobu High uniform, but possessing an aura completely unsuitable for this school, stepped in with a broad smile.
"Well, Yukino-chan, I heard this place has been very lively lately, so I came to take a look."
Yukinoshita Haruno.
As soon as she appeared, the air inside the room seemed to be sucked out and the temperature dropped several degrees.
Yui immediately stood tensely, her hands not knowing where to place, "Ah, Haruno-san..."
Yukino's body instantly tensed. Unconsciously, she gripped the smoothly sanded wooden stick beside her. Her ice-blue eyes were full of vigilance.
Haruno's gaze swept the entire room with full interest. From the blackboard full of "God Creation Project," the black cookies with unpleasant aroma on Yui's desk, to the stick in Yukino's hand that resembled a spear more than just wood.
Finally, her gaze landed on the young man who since she entered remained with his back to her, staring at the blackboard without moving at all.
"You must be Darius-kun, right?" Haruno's smile became even brighter. "Turns out you're far more... special than the rumors."
Darius turned around slowly.
His face showed no expression whatsoever, but his pupils dilated at a clearly visible speed, as if he was seeing something very impossible yet very terrifying.
His breathing became rapid, his body leaning slightly backward as if wanting to avoid invisible radiation.
[Warning! Warning! High-concentration Chaos energy source detected!]
[Information matching in progress... Failed... This existence is outside the current database range!]
[Threat level determination: Extinction-Level!]
Darius extended a trembling finger, pointing directly at Haruno.
"You!" His voice was full of shock and horror. "So it's you! The root of this world's distortion! The incarnation of the Chaos Evil God hiding in the midst of human society!"
The club room became dead silent.
Yui gaped wide.
Yukino felt she wanted to die from embarrassment.
Iroha hid in the corner, trying to minimize her presence for fear of being noticed by the "Evil God."
However, Haruno who was designated as "Chaos Evil God" wasn't angry, instead laughed uproariously until her body shook violently.
"Fufu... Evil God? Me? Oh my, this is truly... the highest praise I've ever heard."
She wiped tears that came out from laughing, then walked approaching Darius with full interest.
"In that case, may I, this Evil God, observe up close the hero who successfully discovered my true identity?"
Each time she stepped forward, Darius stepped back.
Just before Haruno touched him, Darius moved nimbly evading and hid behind Yukino, his hands gripping that girl's shoulders tightly and using her as a shield.
"D-Class Personnel! Quick! Use your bloodline power!" Darius's voice was urgent and serious. "She is a superior from your own race! Use the ancient oath engraved in your genes to suppress her! Quick!"
"Nee-san!" Yukino's face was already bright red, feeling very embarrassed and angry. "Please stop teasing my friend!"
"Friend?" Haruno stopped stepping, tilted her head, and looked at Darius and Yukino alternately with a meaningful gaze. "Yukin-chan, you can finally use the word 'friend'? It seems this place is indeed very interesting."
She stopped approaching, then shifted the conversation to her younger sister.
"By the way, my visit today is to give advice to Yukino-chan."
Her smile became full of mystery.
"Since you're so protective of this club, and the Student Council intends to disband you all... how about you yourself run for Student Council President?"
This suggestion was like thunder exploding inside the room.
Iroha's face instantly turned deathly pale.
(What's this? If Yukinoshita-san runs, does I, the 'Puppet Queen,' still have a chance to win?)
Yukino herself was stunned. Without thinking long, she immediately refused, "Me? Impossible. I'm not interested in such things."
"Don't refuse too quickly." Haruno chuckled. "Think about it, if you become President, couldn't you legally protect your 'friends' and club? This is the most direct and effective way."
Every word of Haruno's was like a precision scalpel, dissecting the situation and creating chaos.
Yukino fell silent. She had to admit her sister's words hit precisely at her weak point.
Darius hiding behind Yukino, his brain was spinning rapidly.
He saw through Haruno's stratagem.
This was an unavoidable open plan.
If Yukino ran, with her abilities and reputation, her chances of winning were very high. But once she was elected, she would definitely be influenced and controlled by Haruno, and that meant apocalypse for "SCP Sobu High Branch."
If Yukino didn't run, then Iino Miko supported by Haruno would also win decisively over Iroha in a normal election. The result was still the same.
Whichever path, all were dead ends.
Unless...
A flash of determination appeared in Darius's eyes.
This chessboard must be destroyed.
He couldn't play following their rules.
The only way to survive was the craziest and most unreasonable method: forcing Iroha—the most impossible person—to ascend to the throne of Student Council President!
"Plan change." Darius whispered.
He emerged from behind Yukino's back, no longer evading, instead staring directly at Haruno's probing eyes.
Then, he grabbed the wrist of Iroha who had frozen in fear beside him.
"What is it? Senpai?" Iroha was startled by that sudden movement.
"Emergency situation. You must immediately undergo final stage enhancement modification." Darius's tone was non-negotiable.
He pulled Iroha directly toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Yukino asked reflexively.
Darius stopped briefly, turned around, pointed at the ceiling with a solemn expression.
"To the altar."
"We will inject divinity into the Queen at the place closest to the sky. Her voice will echo throughout the entire school from there."
After saying so, he pulled the confused Iroha out of the club room, leaving everyone inside with crashed brains from too much information.
Haruno stared at the backs of the two disappearing. The smile at the corner of her lips became even thicker, and her eyes flashed with unprecedented light—light called "Very Interesting."
