As Chinatsu began her announcement, Hikari tuned out the content: it was old news for the council itself, given that they had at least been informed this morning. He assumed this was to stop their looking like stunned fish. It freed up attention to watch the crowd and see exactly how they were taking it--as well as be well aware of the tank being launched at the stage. As attacks went, it was non-threatening, the president wasn't going to be caught out by something so minor, but the effeminate young man made a note to bring up the tanks at the next meeting. They were going to have to modify them somehow, or just dispose of the things; the delinquents kept throwing them around.

With the stadium apparently taking the news as positively as anyone could have ever expected, the long-haired boy was expecting for people to go about getting back to class, though he viewed the approaching compulsory exercise as both annoying and a complete waste of time, especially with so many idiots likely to now clamour to attack the most important people in the school rather than work their way up and prove that it wasn't some sort of lucky fluke if they won.

Then the stadium went even quieter as some flamboyant foreigner rushed in and gave the most stupid demand Hikari thought he had ever heard. Definitely a precedent that needed to be headed off before fools interpreted the challenge as something that could be used to satisfy simple, base desires. 

He also remembered the last time his parents had introduced him to some well-to-do girl from the same social circles. The experience wasn't something that he wished on anyone, even if it would be far less awkward than having to explain to the other party why this wasn't just a meet-and-greet type deal, even if they both had nice dresses on at the time.

With the Hound keeping Lloyd well in place, Hikari lined up two fingers, rest a lollipop atop them... and flicked. The resultant projectile was on a wonderful collision course for the side of Lloyd's head, and the boom from breaking the sound barrier wouldn't catch up until afterwards, but it shouldn't do any permanent harm to anyone that actually [i]belonged[/i] in Sengoku.

Having fired his shot, Hikari rose to make sure that the crowd was actually paying attention to him as he glided forwards towards Chinatsu and proper visibility: "As a reminder to all students, the president's challenge is a fixed deal. It does not mean that the rules have been removed."
