The two held a meeting for over half an hour, ultimately reaching one conclusion: It was too early for that, well at least for now.
"Speaking of which, the Student Council President is going to be a problem," Noah muttered, looking troubled.
As the President, she could potentially intervene if she deemed their behavior inappropriate for the dorms, which would put them in a difficult position.
However, judging by her flustered demeanor, that seemed unlikely.
Besides, why would the Student Council President suddenly seek them out? They'd never even interacted before.
"Ah, could it be because of that incident at the dessert shop?" Stella suggested.
"Hmm?"
The incident involving Kuraudo Kurashiki from Donrou Academy? If the Student Council had learned about their conflict with a rival school, it was possible they'd intervene to investigate.
But even so, why would the President herself come?
Never mind.
They could always visit her tomorrow at the council room and find out!
...
'Knock, knock.'
A cacophony of noise erupted from the Student Council room, completely drowning out Noah's knock.
Listening to the commotion inside, he initially assumed they were just pretending not to hear him.
Then, a small-statured boy suddenly appeared behind him in the hallway.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, junior! It has been chaotic in there—we didn't even hear your knock."
The voice came so abruptly that Noah hadn't even realized someone was behind him until that moment.
He whirled around instantly.
Standing before him was a petite figure who looked more like a middle schooler than a high school student.
A young-looking boy and yet this person called him "junior."
'A higher-grade student?'
'And what was that just now...? Instantaneous teleportation?'
Ever since the incident with Shizuya Kirihara, Noah had consciously maintained the Weaver's minimum sensory awareness around himself.
But until the very last second, he hadn't detected this person at all—as if he had materialized out of thin air.
This kind of ability immediately made Noah think of spatial manipulation.
"Hello, senpai," Noah replied politely, seizing the opportunity to activate Truth Seeker.

[Absolute Uncertainty]: The ability to manipulate the outcome of events. If there's even a 1% chance of a result occurring, he can make that possibility 100%, ensuring the outcome becomes absolutely certain.
'Holy shit!' Noah instinctively cursed in his mind.
The mini-senpai's ability was absurd. He hadn't silently appeared behind Noah through teleportation.
Instead, he had made the outcome of his arrival 100% certain, bypassing the entire physical process of movement and causing the result to manifest instantly.
To an observer, the effect would appear identical to teleportation. But in reality, this ability was far more powerful than teleportation.
If Noah possessed such a power back in Orario, he could use it to guarantee 100% success in enhancing his equipment at the forge.
Whether it was +13, +15, or even +1000, the success rate would always be 100%!
Absolute Uncertainty my ass, it was Absolute Certainty!
..
Noah's eyes lit up as he sized up the petite figure before him.
Utakata tilted his head, unable to comprehend the meaning of those gaze.
"Hello,Utakata-senpai. I'm Noah from Class 1-E."
"Oh, hello... Um, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?"
"I felt an instant connection with you, Senpai. I even think we were meant to meet in another world."
'If we had met in Orario, I could have borrowed his abilities and become overpowered! Too bad there are no what-ifs!'
Causality Interference Type.
While Blazers' abilities might seem equal on the surface, the types of abilities actually have a hierarchical order, divided into four major categories.
Having a higher-tier ability doesn't necessarily make someone stronger, but it means they are not weak.
First is the Body Enhancement Type.
These abilities enhance physical capabilities, with combat styles primarily focused on physical attacks.
Ikki Kurogane is a prime example.
Then there is the Natural Causality Type, which Noah himself belongs to.
This type allows users to manipulate and control natural elements and phenomena. Depending on their ability level, some users are powerful, while others are weak.
The Natural Causality Type also boasts the largest number of awakened users.
Beyond the widely recognized ability type lies the Conceptual Interference type.
As the name suggests, this type allows users to manipulate concepts known to humanity.
For example, the Chairwoman's ability grants her control over time, allowing her to freeze it or rewind it. Her Devices, Nigredo and Albedo, each house a powerful temporal force.
Even the training grounds, battered by students, can be restored to pristine condition through her temporal manipulation.
To her, such feats are as effortless as lifting a finger.
Yet she often complains about certain students' destruction of the facilities, making repairs difficult.
Compared to the Body Enhancement Type and Natural Causality Type, the Conceptual Interference Type is rare and powerful.
Beyond these three lies the rarest of all: the Causality Interference Type.
True to its name, this type grants the ability to invert cause and effect, rewriting the laws of causality—a heaven-defying power.
Take Vice President Utakata Misogi as an example.
As long as the probability isn't zero, he can ensure any outcome.
Simple examples include winning every lottery, predicting the weather with perfect accuracy, drawing desired items in gacha games with a 100% success rate, and landing headshots effortlessly.
Even if he were to take hundreds of rifle rounds, he would emerge unscathed.
Activating his ability would forcibly alter any unfavorable outcome, rendering him immune to all attacks.
This impenetrable defense earned him an A-Rank rating.
Causality Interference Type ability users are invincible within their domains.
"Is that so? If there were another world, we would probably be good friends," Utakata said.
"I sincerely hope so," Noah replied, his tone earnest—perhaps more earnest than ever before.
Sensing his sincerity, Utakata seemed to warm up to him. "Ahaha, please come in."
"Thank you."
Utakata opened the Student Council Room door, sparing Noah the awkward wait outside.
As Noah stepped inside, his eyes fell upon a prominent ass.
It was not just an ass, but a large, round, and white ass!
He stared expressionlessly at the Student Council President, who was bent over on the floor.
"Tohka, Tohka. Junior-kun is here," Utakata reminded her with a mischievous grin.
Tohka Todo turned her head in confusion, only to see Noah standing there.
When she realized Noah was staring at her, she panicked.
"Ah, aaaaahhh!"
Tohka scrambled to her feet, roughly gathering the documents she had been organizing into her arms.
"N-Noah-kun! What are you doing here?!"
"I came to ask about yesterday. What's the matter when you came to our dormitory?"
"Yesterday?!"
A series of embarrassing images flashed through Tohka's mind. She took a hasty step back, only to trip over a dumbbell.
Seeing her sprawled on the floor, her underwear once again exposed, Noah felt a pang of sympathy this time.
He went to check on her.
'This President is such a klutz! I can't even watch it.'
Just then, Renren Tomaru, the energetic Student Council member, walked in, dressed in her athletic track uniform.
"President, you fell again? Honestly, why are you so clumsy in everyday life?"
"Ugh..."
"Enough about Tohka," Kanata Totokubara interjected, her refined demeanor radiating composure.
"She has already suffered enough."
Kanata was a tall, elegant girl who dressed in elaborate, formal attire that covered her figure. Even this conservative style couldn't conceal her perfect physique.
Always wearing a sun hat and carrying a parasol, she rarely showed her face to others.
She was the only person in the room who spoke up for Tohka.
"President, when you came to our dorm yesterday, were you looking for me or Stella about something?" Noah asked.
Tohka froze, blinking as if she had forgotten the important matter.
At that moment, Vice President Utakata suddenly appeared on the sofa out of nowhere.
Noah marveled at how Causality Interference Type ability users seemed to be able to do whatever they pleased, using their powers to accomplish the impossible.
Utakata sat cross-legged, rocking back and forth with a mischievous grin.
"I bet it is about that incident," he said.
Renren and Kanata exchanged glances, then slapped their palms.
"Oh! That's right!"
Kanata sighed and whispered to Noah, "I'm sorry, Noah-kun. Let me explain."
Relieved to finally find a normal person, Noah let out a breath and stepped closer.
"Recently, some suspicious individuals have been spotted at our school's training camp in Okutama. The Chairwoman wants us to investigate."
"Students investigating?" Noah asked. "What if they're dangerous? Aren't you worried about putting the students at risk?"
He glanced at the group before him.
'Ah. So that is why they are delegating this to the Student Council.'
Putting aside everything else, just looking at their strength, the Student Council includes members of the Academy's Four Strongest.
Each of them is an exceptional Blazer, rivaling veteran Mage-Knights in skill.
"Well, the teachers are swamped with preparations for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. Ever since the Chairwoman took office, she has fired over half the faculty, leaving us understaffed," Kanata said, her usually dignified demeanor shifting to a playful tone as she cracked a small joke.
Noah blinked in surprise.
Kanata realized her slip and cleared her throat twice.
She explained, "Even so, the Student Council does not have many members. Searching the vast Okutama forest with just a few of us would be difficult, so I complained to the Chairwoman..."
"As a result, she recommended the Crimson Princess and the Calamity. There were a few others too, but Another One has a competition coming up, so we couldn't bother him."
'That woman. She actually thinks she can use me and Stella as free labor? The Student Council is getting the short end of the stick, being treated like beasts of burden.'
At that moment, Tohka stood up, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"That's right! That's exactly what I wanted to ask you both to help with, Noah-kun!"
Seeing her cheerful demeanor, Noah was speechless.
'How can someone so adorably clueless be so well-loved? That's quite a talent.'
'As for helping... what should I do? I don't have any pressing matters to attend to. Well, let's leave the decision to Stella.'
