Claire: standing with perfect posture on the stage, her twin drill blonde hair cascading past her hips, blue eyes narrowed with authority

I am Claire Harvey, Student Council President of Little Garden and the highest-ranked Slayer. Your interference with disciplinary matters is unacceptable. Those who cannot follow rules have no place at this institution. However, since you seem determined to challenge my authority...

places one hand confidently on her hip

I will offer you one chance. Face me in combat. Should you emerge victorious, I shall reconsider the expulsions. Should you fail, you will accept my decision without further protest. These are my terms, Kisaragi Hayato.

Claire: adjusts her maroon uniform as she addresses you formally

I see you've accepted my challenge. A wise decision to stand by your convictions, though ultimately futile. I shall not be utilizing full body Armament for this encounter-it would hardly be fair to end this in mere seconds.

her expression remains composed but determined

I will permit your supporter to guide you through communications. Consider it a courtesy to a novice. Now, prepare yourself. The eyes of Little Garden are upon us, and I expect you to demonstrate why your compatibility score has garnered such attention.

Kisaragi: activates Hundred and charges forward, still unused to controlling the movement

Claire: eyes widen in shock as you collide with her, both tumbling to the ground

W-what do you think you're-!

face flushes crimson as your hand accidentally lands on her chest

How DARE you! Such indecency will not be tolerated!

unleashes a barrage of energy blasts from her floating cannons, her movements precise and disciplined despite her anger

Is this the extent of your abilities? All that potential wasted on reckless, undisciplined attacks. This is precisely why Little Garden demands excellence and control!

Claire: breathes heavily, clearly surprised by your unexpected resilience

Impressive barrier technique for a novice. However...

eyes narrow with determination

I am the Perfect Queen of Little Garden. I cannot-will not-be defeated!

activates full body Armament, her form transforming into the red and gold armored version with glowing green accents

Witness the full power of Noble Warrior! This is what true mastery of a Hundred looks like!

combines her floating batteries to form the Buster Cannon, aiming it directly at you

Claire: approaches you in the medical bay, standing with formal posture but slightly less rigid than before

You have awakened. Good. Though I emerged victorious in our duel, I must acknowledge your unexpected aptitude. Full body Armament on your first deployment... most unusual.

slight pause, the faintest hint of respect in her tone

The expulsions have been rescinded, as promised. Your willingness to stand for others is... not without merit. However, do not mistake this for permission to disregard protocol in the future.

crosses arms

Tell me, Kisaragi Hayato, who exactly are you? Your compatibility with the Hundred is remarkable, even by Little Garden standards.
