Fly High ~Chapter 6~

Summary:

Ever since Ruka kissed Meru, she has been freaking out, trying to figure out whether he likes her or not. While at the same time, she realizes that isn't as strong as she used to be, realizing that things that she used to find light as a feather are now heavy like boulders. Not understanding why this is happening, she theorized that it's because of the kiss.

Then Meru goes to see Uno if she was okay since her last 'fight' with Ayuzawa. She also takes that time to explain that she isn't President to drive their group away, but to stop them controlling the students with fear and that she wants everyone to have fun at school. Of course, as usual, Uno ignores her and starts babbling away, spitting out little bits of the truth which had influenced them to act this way in the first place. Catching herself, Uno changes the topic and turns away only to knock over some heavy equipment. Meru gets injured by protecting Uno. As result she breaks her leg and is told to rest for the month. While at the hospital, she asks Ruka what's his reason by the kiss. Her brushes it off by saying it's a greeting they use in the US. Suddenly he tosses some objects which she successfully catches, and remarks that isn't something he should do to a sick person. Of course, by doing that, he was able to prove that she got her strength back.

Outside of the hospital room, Uno hesitates to go inside - only to be interrupted when Meru's mother comes dashing into the room who asks if someone was responsible for breaking her daughter's leg, causing Uno to flinch and then be surprised when Meru answered that it was nobody's fault except for her own.

Both, she and Uno stayed home for a whole week. For Meru, she was to rest while Uno's case is unknown.

When Meru returns to school, she is suprised to see now that their student council has offical members. Ruka as Vice President and Yuuki.

Expressing her joy that her leg is feeling much better, as well as relieving students at their school to see her healthy again, Meru goes to the rooftop where then she is attacked by Ayuzawa who at the same time asked whether her leg was healed. Ayuzawa declares that he wants to have a showdown with her where if he loses, he will never bother the student council again, while in the case she loses, she will have to stop being President, and will have to do whatever he says until he graduates.

Confident that she would win, excitedly she jumps from the roof and make an announcement, with the idea in mind that she will land safely, only then to realize while in midair that her leg isn't completely healed, and maybe it will indeed take one whole month to heal.

As result of her landing, she ends up severely injuring both legs.

The next day, Ayuzawa waits and wonders what's taking her so long. Just when he starts to wonder if she had ran away, she shows up on crutches, her legs dangling with an ecstatic expression on her face claiming that she's ready to duel. Ayuzawa can't help but look dumbfounded and ask, "Are you serious?"

Impression:

I found it amusing that Meru ended up breaking both of her legs, and she is still determined to fight against Ayuzawa. Though, due to the circumstances, I can picture - as according to Ayuzawa's character that he will decline the match between them since he doesn't want her to have an excuse why she lost. But then again, this would be a piece of cake for him.

It's obvious now (thanks to Uno) that their group were bullied or perhaps abused in the past, and how they no trust people, and have the image of Kindness considered fake.
