In an AU where this quest is an anime, I would not hesitate to think the brother would be a hidden antagonist just from this scene alone.
Don't fuck with either brother lest you wish to involve the other.

The anime would be from the perspective of our Bro, and we're obviously his muscle-head Bro. Now, I don't think it'd be unheard of for the MC to go villain for a bit, but it's definitely out of the norm

Useful.
*sniff* Such a caring bro.
Good principles.
So we basically stumbled on one and other.
Oh? But nice you didn't need to lie.
Well, it is mostly true.
Wow, checks are getting hard.
Responsible young man.
The new faculty being introduced and the transfer student.
Oh, oh no, you just fucked up, Mitsuhide.
It is nice that our bro cares, but after this display I can see him possibly going down a path to darkness if he ever believed it would protect Hayato.

"not" is missing.
"charges"
Put you in jail, most likely. Blackmail is a crime, same as leaking personal information. Leaking personal data of a police officer to have something happen to her can be considered a felony depending on where you are.
It's cool to threaten the Student Council President, in an anime way, but let's not get carried away. What we said could already be grounds for suspension.
On the other hand, I liked the dilemma presented to us. To have a character who is, at least nominally, on the side of justice, and is working against you; where you need to cooperate yet can not apply "honesty is best policy" as the genre dictates and have to choose how much you are willing to give away.
This is somewhat undermined by our threat. If we can scare the Student Council President into silence, then there is no dilemma and no danger. We can have it swept under a rug even if the truth surfaces. If we can not, however... then perhaps it wasn't the most sound of moves.
We should have pressed him from the Justice angle instead.
I think "Yandere Mode" has more letters than that?

"You're sure that was them, Yato?"
"Positive, my Lord. While I did not get a clear look at their facial features, I made sure to commit the iconography they use to memory."
You groan while leaning against a wall next to the doors leading into the Assembly Hall. Students were streaming out of the room, gossip over the new arrivals spreading like wild fire. You could feel the excitement and curiosity at the prospect of learning about the newcomers.
But you, Nagai Hayato, could not shake this sense of dread.
You place a hand on your forehead to steady yourself. Things just got a lot more complicated. You need to let Yamato and Yameko know about this. Hopefully, your brother is finished with his meeting. And it went well.
As if on cue, Yamato comes from around a corner to your left. He threads his way through and passed other students who try to stop him. He is making good progress...until two persistent students manage to stonewall him. Then you walk over and make your presence known by loudly calling out to your brother. The two assholes see you, sneer, then make themselves scarce.
The two of you wait for them to leave. Then you turn back to Yamato, "Hey man, how was the meeting with the Student Council President."
"It went well," his reply is as plain as always, "How was the assembly event?"
Your expression turns into a frown. You place a hand around Yamato's shoulder and start to lead him towards the dorm, "Yeah...about that. We should wait until we get back to the dorm to talk about that. Also, think you could contact Yameko?"
Yamato's eyebrow raises but he asks no questions. He merely follows you while typing out a text for Yameko to meet you in the dorm room.
"The Organization is here?!" Yameko shouts, her ears and tails pointing towards the ceiling as you and Yato begin your explanation.
You give a grim nod, "Yeah. Two of 'em. A guy and girl. Twins, I think. Apparently, the Organization has become Raijin's new 'Benefactor' since a lot of rich folks withdrew their donations after last week's raid."
"And their two lackeys have been sent here under the guise of so called 'Student Counselors'," though Yato may not have a body it is not hard to conjure an image of him scoffing at the title, "This was no doubt done as a way to infiltrate the school and discover our kind."
"Do you know their names?" is Yamato's quick reply.
You nod, "Shinji Josu and Shinji Aki. Boy and girl, respectively."
Yamato gives his kitsune Partner a knowing look. She gives him a determined frown and bows, "Understood, Yamato-sama. I shall learn what I can about them."
"Thank you, Yameko. But do not do anything reckless. We have yet to encounter anything or anyone from this group. They likely have ways to detect Supernatural creatures. You will be in danger should you get too close."
Rather than look worried, Yameko smiles and rest her chin in the palm of her hand. Her tails move to frame her face while she flutters her eyelashes at your brother, "Are you worried about me, Yamato-sama?"
"Of course. You are a friend and my Partner. Why wouldn't I be worried?"
The blunt response takes the wind out of her sails. She doesn't lose her smile though, "Oh, yes. I understand."
You resist the urge to facepalm at your brother's denseness. As you get ready to let the topic drop, you remember another part of the event, "Oh, right! Also, we're getting a Transfer Student in our classes. I think she's from...England? Somewhere in Europe. Her name's Elizabeth Young."
"Do you suspect her of being from the Organization, too?"
"I'm...not sure," you think back to the girl from when she came onto the stage. It had been before the introduction of the Organization flunkies, and didn't seem connected to them in anyway. Then again, her showing up the same day as the other two is a bit too coincidental for your taste.
Yamato lets your thoughts simmer for a bit. Then he replies, "Either way, this does little to impede our objectives. We merely need to be more careful when we interact with the Supernatural in anyway. I shall send a text message to Hiroko to warn her as well. In the meantime, we have more important matters to settle."
"Oh, right," you smile while rolling your shoulder to get the kinks out, "It's laundry day."
"Which means it's time...."
"....for the Thumb War."

So we want to get all these skills to at least 50 by the tournament so we can participate, preferably higher. We could do a full weekend training kendo/karate? I'm not too sure on the training mechanics tho, been a while since I read the quest.

Surely you mean "an ad-hoc training session". All a part of greater preparation for the tournament.

Yato recognizes the Organization's symbols.
That's one way to put it.
Interesting that Elizabeth wasn't mentioned.
Ouch, poor Yameko.
And there she is! Also interesting that she's not tied to the others. Hmm, I wonder...
We can get it done during weekdays, since weekends are the only time we can do research, hang out with people and go exploring.

First, we should help Yamato to finish keeping his promise and since we just got the perk Words Filled With Confidence, it works well with A Good First Impression, making sure that all our first meetings start strongly and we're meeting lot of new people in the future. We should also hang out with Ritsuko this week, since if we don't her SL will start degrading since it has been that long since our last outing, and I really want Hayato to meet Elizabeth and get first impressions on her and start to getting to know her.

Dawww, that's really sweet of Yam.
I hope we get to actually read it, the analysis implications will be useful.
That's definitely some sort of big analysis play by the Prez. I wonder what he'll get out of the intended "Water's necessary yo" Yam has going on.
Definitely, amd I really like how Yam took the time to git gud at a bread and butter Skill for himself, especially since there's going to be more and more political stuff going on. We'll just have to make sure we're a good enough distraction for him to do his work.
Hmm. I'm getting the feeling that after the Tourney we're going to want to train Yam up to Empathy All-50. Being able to understand others is going to be super important for being a Super Plotter.
Dawwww!
You think waaay too highly of our opinion of lying and manipulation, but I'm glad we can be a morality hat for you.
Ooo, going for a root cause misdirection, spicy and technically not lying!
Oh? I thought the meeting on a whole went decently?
...yes, and? It was a really lucky coincidence that we chose to go Subtle about us being involved, cause that knock off effect was not anywhere in our considerations at the time.
Fuck, he's going to get himself murdered.
Rip Prez, we hardly knew you.
And you dug yourself too deep. There was a brief moment where you could have escaped, but now you have The Anime Protagonist against you.
He has eyes at least.
More Empathy skills leading to better manipulation/threatening?
Honestly can't tell if this is part of his Unknown Protagonist Superpowers, a Narrative Convention, or if he's got higher Perception than I thought.
.
"Don't fuck with my Brother."
Oh, I think I see what happened.
He hadn't originally planned on doing this, but then Yam basically made an apology to us a requirement to continued cooperation. Prez read that as a Vulnerability to exploit, and when he went for it Yam revealed that it was in fact a gigantic red button labeled "Do Not Push."
Two things I like about this.
One, it's really nice to know he cares. We talk and hang out ICly, but knowing that he'd be willing to absolutely wreck someone on our behalf is darkly heart warming.
Two, I just realized that the Unnecessarily Long Silent Pauses are things like Internal Monologues or Flashbacks for the viewer, in this case likely showing and highlighting us being a Baller Brother.
Yeah, I hope the Prez is able to reconcile the Polite Yam with the Yandere Yam and stay out of the way of the latter.
The extra effort to help Yam hide the body would eat into our training time!
I too want to know what went on in the Assembly.
Have I missed some WoG on Ms Young somewhere? I don't remember her being mentioned before, unless I'm forgetting an interlude?
Edit:
Oh right!
This makes sense.
