Earlier, before lunch, Rick was sitting in chair, tapping his foot impatiently trying to figure out how to complete the quest.
' Aina Kazuki. The name of girl I need to ask out... it's the first impression that counts, and I'm sure I ask her randomly I'll get rejected. The thought getting rejected leaves a bad taste in my mouth '
Everyone was looking at him as he had undergone an appearance change.
" What's up with Rick,where did his gray hair go I don't like the black hair he has now and he looks chubby, " a voice came from the background.
" Were the his good looks fake. "
" I know, right? and look at the oversized parachute of a uniform he's wearing. I'm sure if he fell from the sky, he'd survive without a scratch. " Another added before the class burst into laughter.
To other students, his look was distracting and funny but to him there was something bigger going on in his.
' For the wish, it's all for the wish and I'm not losing anything so I have to do it for the wish. ' he repeated in his head.
He didn't pay any attention to chatter about him.
He was solely focused on preparing his lines like a government official preparing before going out to spill lies to before the public.
' I'm ready.... ' he thought as he stared at his reflection from his phone.
' The drama club didn't hesitate to offer help as soon as mentioned sponsoring them. They sure did a good job now, all I have to is wait for right moment to strike. '
When the bell for lunch break rang.
Rick didn't waste anytime, he grab the bag besides him then he hurried out the classroom.
He quickly speed walked through the hall way and entered the classroom labelled " B " on the door.
' it didn't expect the new student to end up in Tatsuya's class. ' he thought as opened the door.
Most of the students weren't out the classroom, some were eating while others were in small groups with some sitting on the top on the desks.
But most were gathered around one student with long golden hair.
As soon as Rick noticed the commotion he knew who it was and thought it was the perfect opportunity to strike.
' Students only surround a new student like that and she matches the description I was given, the long black hair, purple colored eyes and a good looking face, it's time to shine. ' he thought as he approached her.
As he approached where she was sitting and they all noticed him him, they immediately stopped talking.
"Aa...Ai... Aina will you pli...plea... Please will you be my girlfriend? " He stammered, and his voice sounded like his nose was blocked.
' Great, the was perfect. Looks like I haven't lost my acting skills I'm sure she's weirded out. Now I just have to push it a little further. '
He walked closer to her, " and you look like my favorite waifu with that golden hair and purples eyes. "
There was puzzled look on the girls face. She didn't know how to respond and students who surrounded her were holding back there laugher.
" I'm sorry what? I don't even know you and what are you doing? " She asked watched him pull something out of his bag.
It was a maid uniform he then bowed as he stretched his hands forward presenting it like it was some kind of offering.
" What's this? " She asked her voice sounded confused.
A creepy smile appeared on his face at the question which made her expression waver even more, she couldn't even look at him.
He then used his middle finger to adjust his glasses back in place as they were about to fall off. The lenses looked white, reflecting the light from outside.
" My... my name is Tatsuya an... And I've always wanted a girl who'd dress up like... Like my favorite anime character. So I bought you this as gift, will you accept me? "
" Sorry.... but you're not my type and you're weird. Gaaahhh I can't deal with this, it's just my first day. " She said before storming off not sure how deal with whole situation.
" That was really embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch, I wonder the other classes will react to the story. " A girl with blue hair commented.
Rick dropped to his knee without saying anything his head facing down.
His expression was unreadable as his hair covered his face. The group of the students who watched it all happen quickly hurried out the room following Aina.
The last student looked at the broken Rick. " How pitiful, did he really think he stood a chance, especially when he's that weird? "
Before leaving, she caught a glimpse of what looked like a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
When he heard his phone ring his smirk widened and turned into a smile.
It wasn't long after that, Tatsuya was heading to the cafeteria as he heard a few students talking.
" Hey did you hear? some guy named Tatsuya was rejected by the new student. "
His eyes widened in surprise, ' wait, I'm Tatsuya.... ' he thought, as stopped his tracks hoping to hear the rest of the story.
" Seriously, does anyone among the first years think they stand a chance against a girl like that? Especially not some anime freak. " Another voice added.
' Wait, I'm the only first year anime watcher named Tatsuya.... Don't tell me that idiot used my name for... '
His thought was interrupted by the sound of his phone vibrating in his phone.
He took it out and saw the quest notification it read, " QUEST COMPLETED WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY +100, BONUS +50 "
' Seriously I'm gonna kill him, ' he thought before storming off.
Rick was handing the bag back to a member of the drama club." So Rick how did it go? " Boy asked in a cheerful tone as grabbed the bag.
" Well, it was an outstanding performance, and I got what I needed thanks to you guys. "
" No we should be thanking you. What we did was nothing compared to what you're doing the club. "
" Yeah, I guess you are right. Well, I'll see you guys later. " He said, turning back and preparing to leave.
" Wait, Rick you still have the wig on and... "
Upon the realization Rick grabbed the wig off his head and handed it over the boy before walking away.
' It might have been an outstanding performance, but it doesn't feel like a victory to me. And I can't to see the furious look on Tatsuya's face. I'm sure it will be priceless. '
Ren was looking at his phone outside a huge door, ' Bonus points, I guess he exceeded it's expectations or was it just easy to impress. Let's hope he didn't go too far. '
Another notification popped up from the Guide app, " CONGRATULATIONS YOU'VE REACHED A MILESTONE, DO YOU WANT USE SOME OF THE POINTS TO UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEM. "
" YOUR CURRENT BALANCE IS +650 POINTS, USE YOU WANT TO USE HALF OF IT TO IMPROVE YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE. " it asked.
' I guess we've levelled up, the boys will... ' a voice from behind interrupted his thought.
" Are you just going to stand there all day? "
He turned his head to look it was the student council president.
" Come on let's go in, " she said without waiting for his response. She opened the door.
Inside the room there was a long table and at the end of a person was sitting on a huge chair.
As they approached the person Rick thought ' how an unexpected I thought the principal of the top school in the country would be some old looking character, but instead she doesn't look any bit older than twenty five. '
" Ren Katagiri you're expelled. " She said in a serious and sharp tone.
Ren's face remained neutral as he took a sit and rested his head on the palm of his hand.
