Chapter 17: Punishment

Atia: Just a little longer and everything would've gone exactly as planned...

Atia: Though, this does pique my interest...
Rana (text): Exactly... as planned!?

Atia:
>> Well, cute little 2nd years?

Atia: From here on out...

P170
Atia: these two nice onee-samas will...
Annette: Hi~
Larger text: Annette Maximillion
Smaller text: 3rd Year, Overall School Ranked 4th

P171
Atia: make things a lot more interesting.
Larger text: Creo Brand
Smaller text: 3rd Year, Overall School Ranked 5th **Lit. says "Same" instead of "3rd Year"**

P172
Rana: What is going on...

Rana: "Exactly as planned"...
>> What do you mean by that ~de arimasuka? Atia-sempai!!

Atia: Coming from the rural countryside of Tibet, it seems you're a little slow on what's happening.

Atia: That boy over there just said it, right?

Atia: The one who came and insisted on partnering together was...
>> none other than Kazuya Aoi himself, get it?

P173
Rana: T-Then...

Rana: Why would he do that ~de arimasuka!?
>> Didn't you say that Satellizer was only using Kazuya-kun for his power ~de arimasuka!?

Atia: How would I know what Satellizer's real intentions are?
Rana: ...!!

Atia: I was convinced that Satellizer was totally using him...
>> But, what Kazuya Aoi just said contradicts that doesn't it?

Rana: ...!?

P174
Rana: So basically...
>> Telling me that Satellizer is using Kazuya-kun,
>> and that they aren't baptized, it was all...
Atia: Ah, the baptism part was true.

Kazuya: Rana!!

Kazuya: It's true we didn't do the baptism, but there is a reason for that!
>> I volunteered to be her partner knowing full well of the risks involved...
>> To say that she's using me is outrageous!!

Kazuya: And on the contrary, sempai refused me at first!
>> Despite that, I continued to insist!!

Rana: You...
>> deceived me ~de arimasune...

P175
Atia: Correct.
>> I deceived you.

Atia: If I could manipulate the transfer student, then I could use her as a tool to punish Satellizer within the 2nd year division. That was my objective.
>> I really should thank you for getting on board so easily. Well, that last stride was a bit lacking though...

Rana: Why did you do such a thing...

Atia: That's simple. While Satellizer is a merely 2nd year, she bares her fangs at us 3rd years...
>> Here at Genetics, the authority between class year is absolute.
>> There are no exceptions no matter what the matter. Even now, we continue to tacitly uphold this...

P176
Atia: But, this little girl's ostentatious display of arrogance is nothing short of a mockery to all 3rd years!
>> If it continues, it would set a bad example for the other underclassmen. Which is why we're left with no choice but to "instruct" her.

Kazuya (text): What...
>> What twisted logic!

Kazuya: !

Bridgette: So what do want to do about it?

Bridgette: If you wish to continue, then decide quickly.
>> "Respectable" 3rd years!

P177
Kazuya: Sempai! Are you serious?
>> You were fighting so recklessly early!!
>> Aren't you seriously injured!?

Bridgette: Stand back, Kazuya.

Bridgette: This is...
>> a problem I must settle by myself.

P178
Kazuya (text): Satella-sempai...

Atia: The school's ranked 4th and 5th are front of you yet you stand firm...
>> As expected of the Untouchable Queen... that unwavering spirit is all I'll praise you for.

Atia: However, you should understand full and well the risks of smearing mud in faces of the ones standing before you.
>> These two don't care whether you're unprepared or injured. You will deal with the trouble you've caused.

Atia: Ranked 4th, Annette

Atia: Ranked 5th, Creo

P180
Atia: I'll give you the right to choose. Which do you wish to fight, Untouchable Queen?
>> Given that you are injured, the one you don't choose will observe with me.

Bridgette: I don't care.
Atia: What?

Bridgette: Both of you, come at me!
>> I'll dispose of you both in one push!!

P180
Atia: Don't mess with me... damn 2nd year brat...

Atia: Did you hit your head? It seems you are not able to comprehend your present situation...

Annette: Ahahahahahahaha!!!!
Atia: ...!

P181
Annette: This child is really amusing!!
>> Untouchable Queen, was it? You're really a piece of work~

Atia: Annette...

Annette: Ahah... honestly, had Elizabeth not requested...
>> Neither Creo nor I would've even bothered to come...
>> And now? Now that we've meet and I listened to your speech...

Annette: You're are... How should I? Quite "greedy" aren't you!?
>> I'm getting all tingly. It seems worthwhile to play with you!!

P182
Creo: For the record, Ingrid was also beaten by her, so Elizabeth sent us to deal with her. However, I never thought she would not even give us any sign to ensure that she realizes her own inevitable demise...
Annette: She showed us that brave front, right? There's no need for us to be still anymore.
>> Don't you think so, Creo?

Creo: But, facing an injured opponent two against one is...
>> Honestly, I cannot take part in it...

Annette: Oh geez~ Again! I'm saying this person is an exception!!
>> Don't think so much and just do it! Nothing's wrong here! Creo~
Bridgette: ...

Annette: Tsk! As stubborn as always!
>> I got it. I'll take care of this myself!

Rana: That won't be necessary ~de arimasu
Annette: !

P183
Rana: If you include me...
>> then can't we have a two on two ~de arimasuka?

Annette: Ahah!?
>> Two on two?
>> You serious? Are you? Well?

Atia (text): These people...
>> How much of a fool are they taking me for!?

P184
Bridgette: This doesn't involve you... it'd be best if you didn't interfere.
Rana: I'm not trying to help you out here ~de arimasu.

Rana: Deceiving me and using me in their cowardly scheme...
>> I can't forgive that ~de arimasu!

Atia: Hmph... if anything, I'd call it strategy...
>> Strategy and...

Kazuya: Please wait a moment!!
>> This is wrong no matter how you think about it!!

Kazuya: Isn't everyone here a Pandora?
>> Such a unilateral reason for fighting other students is... is inconceivable!!

P185
Kazuya: Please!! Stop fighting! Satella-sempai!
>> Rana!

Girls: ...!?

P186
Kazuya: Gah!

Bridgette: !?

Bridgette: Kazuya!!
Rana: Kazuya-kun!!

Rana: What are you doing ~de arimasuka!?
Bridgette: Kazuya! Get a hold of yourself!!

Annette: Sorry, but he suddenly started spewing a bunch of crap.
>> Ah, don't worry. He's just unconscious. After some time, he'll eventually wake up.
>> In this place, having a Limiter is a tad unfair~
Bridgette/Rana: !!

Annette: Let us compete using purely our own power~
>> The charm of a Pandora without her Limiter, I guess?

P187
Creo: Two on two...
>> I'm slightly bothered that you two are injured, but...

Creo: When I think of those without guidance, such a minor detail can be overlooked.
>> When this fight is over, courtesy towards those superior to yourself will be carved into your bodies.
>> Moreover, we will also deal with you without using "Pandora Mode"

Rana: "Courtesy towards those superior to yourself"...?
>> You're talking as if you've already won ~de arimasu...
>> But unfortunately ~de arimasuga...
Annette: ?

P188
Rana: Despite just transferring here, I'm actually superior to you ~de arimasu.
Bridgette: I'm seventeen so you know.

P189
Creo: We are your seniors. It is not a question of age.
Annette: Don't you know the saying? When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

P190
Bridgette: The first move... **Actually: "Those who make the first move will win," but that clearly doesn't fit in the bubble.**

Annette: !

P191
Bridgette: My surprise attack...
(text)>> was avoided!?

Annette: Huh? Weren't you listening earlier?
>> Compared to Creo, my rank is higher. You really want to fight me?

Bridgette: Something like that...

Bridgette: doesn't matter!!

P192
Bridgette: ...!?

Annette: Too slow... too slow...

P193
Bridgette: !

Bridgette (text): Her weapon

Annette: Why so tense?
>> I'm only calling my "Volt Weapon" out...

Annette: Well, when I use this...
>> I certainly can become quite scary...

P194
Annette: Which is why...
>> it wouldn't be wise to fight me when you aren't at one hundred percent...
Larger text: Scythe Machina
Smaller text: Volt Weapon

P195
Rana: What an enormous scythe...

Rana: ...!?
Creo: Where are you looking?

P196
Rana: Kahah!?

Rana: *cough* *cough*
>> Kuah!!

Creo: The fight has just begun.
>> Why do you look away?

Creo: You are already injured...
>> As a warning, that last attack was with my bare fist, but...

P197
Creo: From here onwards, I will be coming at you seriously.
>> React firmly!

Smaller text: Volt Weapon

Rana (text): ...!?

P198
Atia: Satellizer...

Atia: How impudent of a person can you be? I thought maybe when you've been cornered that you'd run with your tail between your legs!
>> Instead, you continue to resist even against those two!?

Atia: Also, not just that. Thanks to your insolence, even Creo who formerly despised dealing with injured opponents had a change of heart...
>> No, on contrary, this is better. Now, we don't need a good reason to smash them up!! Annette!! Creo!!

Annette: Would you look at that...
>> Looks like things are getting lively.

Annette: Guess I'll get started too~
Bridgette: ...!!

Annette: Dodge this for me~

P199
Bridgette (text): ...!?
>> An empty swing!?

Bridgette (text): Ah...

P200
Bridgette (text): Ah...?
>> Aaahh...!?
