Rick thought as he walked through the school's hallway, ' can't wait to make fun of Tatsuya, but first I need to focus on my side of the quest. '
He took out his phone and open the Guide app, " THERE ARE A FEW STUDENTS CAUSING TROUBLE AT YOUR SCHOOL IN THE SHADOWS, TAKE THEM THE METHOD IS UP TO YOU. + 200 POINTS, DURATION: 7 DAYS. "
He was staring down at his phone as he was walking his hair covering his sky blue eyes.
' Trouble, how do I even find these trouble makers such in a big school... This quest is starting to piss me off. '
A lot student were standing In front of the notice board, each struggling to see what it read.
' did they post the test results already that's only thing that gets students railed up at this school. ' he thought as he squeezed through the crowd to get to the front.
When he almost got to the front of the crowd he felt his foot getting crushed like someone was using their heel to do it.
It didn't take more than a few seconds before the sound of an elbow connecting to his face cut through the crowd. " Awww.... I just want to pass through in one piece! " he yelled.
He then used his hands to force an opening to the front.
He let out a deep breath when he managed to get In front, " haaaaa, finally it's like they were purposefully trying to ruin my face. "
" Let's check this out quick it should prove helpful. " He said to himself as he scanned through the list.
" Where? where? where? huh there I am, number 20? that's quite impressive me. I guess studying harder was not the answer. " He held his chin with smug look on his face.
" Let's see where the boss man is, " his finger moved up list checking each name.
" Ren Katagiri, Position 10, I expected him to be higher. And.... Tatsuya, position 1 with full mark sharing the spot with the president, what a nerd. " he chuckled.
He then turned back and his chuckle turned in a frown, he let out a deep sigh, " you know I'm not dealing with this again. "
It's like student were waiting to tear him apart.
He put his hand in his pocket and grabbed a few stacks of cash, he then threw them in the air and it spread.
Making the money fall down like rain.
The crowd went wild, each student trying to grab as much as they can and with that Rick causally walk out of the crowd smoothly, ' ha and they say money can't buy happiness. '
As he was walking away from the chaos he stopped mid step, he was thinking of something.
' wait a minute, bullied students are most likely to get themselves into trouble, they're trouble magnets so I just need to find some. ' he thought a smirk tugging at corner of his mouth as he walked excitedly.
' Time to a visit to a few good friends of mine. '
A while back at the student council office. Three students were present.
" I've come to join the student council, " Ren stated looking at Horikita who was sitting down in a throne like chair.
' There are a lot of documents here and I hoped to find all the members present. But this setting was will do for now. ' Ren analyzed the room.
Everything in the room was professionally organized, from the books, to the furniture and to the stationary. It was like a real county president's office but just bigger.
" President, who is this ridiculous person? " the girl standing behind them said her purple eyes studying from his shoes to the top of his black hair.
" Should I kick him? " Her voice was calm but it was dripping with malice as she approached them, she stared daggers into Ren.
Ren was standing In front of the president's desk.
Horikita her eyes studying Ren's face explained, " Ilya, it's like he said. He could possibly be our fourth member. " Horikita's voice was sharp and precise.
" President, " Ilya said in low voice while forcing a smile, " you know jokes aren't really your strong suit, Right? "
" I see, you're not a fan of our new member, " Horikita tapped the documents in her hands on the table and put them to the side.
"..... well the principal recommended him so I'm curious about his capabilities. "
" About I'm only here for the trail run, you have to play the tutorial to know if want to play the game. " Ren interrupted.
With a amused smirk Horikita replied, " Interesting terminology or is that just an excuse to run away? because you are not up for the task. "
' the president smiled, I mean it wasn't a smile but it's close enough..... the president I know is always serious and so cool ' she stared at his face her trying to understand.' who is this guy, I don't like him, I don't like him at all. '
His red eyes were piercing as he tilted his head slightly and in a low serious voice he said, " who knows, maybe you are right, "
" Regardless you are welcome here, just try not disappoint I have high hopes for you."
' No he's not, we should kick him out. " Ilya argued in her head.
" Our goal as the student council is to make sure every student's voice is heard and to do we need strong allies, " with a serious look in her eyes Horikita stated as she let the words hang in the air as they slowly sank in.
Meanwhile at the Drama club a few moments after Rick left.
A few students made a huge circle, and Tatsuya was in the middle of it. He was breathing heavily.
' What just happened?' he thought trying to hide his shaking hands, ' the words failed to come out, all I could hear was my heartbeat and those uncomfortable looks didn't help at all. '
They all avoided Tatsuya gaze as thrust began to whisper amongst themselves. While the circle slowly dispersed.
" He was so nervous he became mute, I feel embarrassed on his behalf. " A voice whispered but it was audible to everyone.
" What a way disappoint this feels like a waste of precious time. " Another voice commented.
While some other started walking off pretending to be busy practicing their lines when Tatsuya he noticed them his heart sank.
' I can't.... I can't act, ' his thoughts started to rush, ' I can't act all. This is different from what I expected, I need to get out of here. '
As he was about to walk away Takakura approached him and moved him away from the others to an empty area.
Takakura hesitantly asked, " Tatsuya, hmmm I don't know how to say this but is this really your first time acting? "
