" QUEST COMPLETED WITH MINIMUM EFFORT, +50 POINTS, BONUS +10 POINTS " Ren stared at his phone as walked to school.
The air was cool with the freshness of morning, a few students were also heading to the school.
He adjusted his backpack, then he heard a voice from behind his shoulder.
" Why are you staring at a phone which isn't turned on? " It was a familiar voice of a girl.
It was Rin, she then matched Ren's pace and walked right beside him.
' It's Rin and she looks okay. I guess that explains the quest completion and almost forgot that no one else can see what's on the guide app if they're not a player. ' he noted.
" I was debating on whether to turn it on or not. " He replied his tone calm.
" You know, I find it strange that you and your friends carry phones all around school without getting into trouble, " She asked, the light reflecting in the lenses of her glasses.
" Well honor students are given certain privileges, and this is one of them. As long as you don't abuse it and you remain being an honor students the school doesn't mind it. " He explained as he put his phone in his pocket.
" So you submitted your work for the competition? " Ren asked while looking her with a side glance.
' When I helped her from those girls, we walked in silence and only I managed to do is give a note from my book before she walked away. But if the quest is complete it means the note helped her. ' he thought.
" Well after happened with those girls, I wanted to give up and put away my work away. " She said in a low voice but her tone shifted to a cheerful one. " But the note you gave me really helped me so I managed to submit it. So I wanted to thank you."
Ren didn't react as he thought, ' The note wasn't really the main thing that helped you, same words can mean different things when coming from different people. To some people my words may have been useless but you found value in them. '
" There's no need, as long as the club is alright. Let's see....Tell me the story you wrote. " He requested.
Her eyes lit up at his request, " I would be delighted, It means a lot that you're the one asking. "
And they continued walking as she told him about her story.
When they arrived at the school the president, Horikita was standing in front of the school gates as if she was waiting for someone.
When she noticed them approaching she turned towards them.
" President waiting for someone? " Ren asked casually.
" Not even a greeting first, and yes I was until you arrived. " She said her tone sharp.
Rin was a bit surprised at noticing his tone with school's president.
Horikita then turned facing Rin, " Good morning Rin, you looked cheerful today I can assume you are doing well? "
' she noticed me. ' Rin's eyes widened at the president's greeting, " Go..good morning and yeah I'm doing alright. "
" That's good to hear, do you mind if I steal Ren from you? "
" No, not at all. " She said in cheerful tone but there was a bit of disappointment in her voice.
Ren watched as Rin walked away. Before they started walking themselves.
Then they started walking a few students stopped before them.
" Good morning president. " A student greeted as she passed stealing a glance at Ren.
" Good morning Lily. " Horikita replied.
Another passed by also looking at Ren for a moment, " president top of the morning. "
" Top of the morning Sakura. " She greeted back her tone calculated.
Ren observed the interactions, " President, you seem to be popular among the students every student we pass by greets you with excitement or watches you walk by attentively. " He stated.
" I'm not the only one they're looking at, your previous dodgeball game has made you quite popular... especially with the ladies. " She stated as they changed their shoes.
" It's just a bonus effect of an event, it will wear off eventually. " He replied calmly.
" Also I wanted to thank you for saving Ilya, " she added her tone slightly soft.
" Ilya, what are you talking about? " Ren asked raising an eyebrow.
" She was pushed a while back and you caught her, she told me about it but she was embarrassed to thank you properly. " She explained.
" she was pushed? I thought she slipped" He said his face unreadable.
" I know you two don't get along but she's a nice person just have patience with her."
' This type of dialogue always gets boring so fast. " He complained in his head.
" Don't worry about it..... So you've changed your mind about destroying the literature club. " He asked as they entered the student council office.
" Destroying that's a strong word. Well destroying it was never an option to begin, I was just trying to give them a little push away from the path they were on " she explained calmly.
She then added " and when you entered the equation results started to show. The literature club maybe small but it's very important to the school."
" So you anticipated my actions and used me, how cunning of you president. " Ren stated, his expression a little amused.
" We both know that's a lie Ren, no one can predict what you do, or can they use you without you knowing about it. " She replied.
" Aren't you overestimating me a little? " He said looking at her with a side glance while studying her face.
" It's actually quiet the opposite. "
Ren didn't respond only continued walking to a chair as he concluded, ' well played, I can see why you are a special named character you're not easy to fool. You might just be able to keep up with me. '
As the went on Tatsuya was sitting at his usual spot in drama club room.
Most of the members had not arrived yet, as the room was quiet and calm, with only a few chatting.
Tatsuya was staring at his phone the notification of the Guide app on his screen, ' Ren has already completed his quest and I only have two days before time up, but I'm still sitting at twenty percent. '
He adjusted his legs to sit in a more comfortable position, ' I'm slowly improving with help of everyone but I feel like I'm missing something and with all this practice I haven't been able to keep up with latest episodes of my lovely chainsaw maid. '
His thought was interrupted by a familiar voice, " what are you doing just staring at your screen like that? " Aina approached walking slowly and with deliberately calculated steps.
" Oh, I just thinking of my lines for the play. I don't know if I'm good enough. " He explained.
She sat right next to him, " You're growing at an incredibly fast rate, and if continue like this you might just make it for the selection. "
Tatsuya moved to the side creating some space between them as he raised one eyebrow, " selection? what do mean isn't the play happening a few days. "
' I don't know how to act around her, she's so hard to read especially after yesterday. Are all 3D girls like this? ' he asked himself.
She noticed him move and narrowed her eyes but continued, " well yes, it's more an audition. No play can be prepared in such a short period of time, the main thing will happen weeks if not months later. "
" That's really insightful information, it should prove helpful, thanks you. " He said as a glow of determination appeared in his eyes.
" Ooookay, you're welcome I guess. " She replied hesitantly.
Meanwhile Rick was walking in the hallway slowly when he noticed a notification on his phone from the guide app and it read.
" A QUEST HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH MINIMUM EFFORT, +50 POINTS, BONUS +10 POINTS "
' The boss man sure moves fast and with minimum effort, he makes it look easy and just when mine is getting interesting, let me check where my quest completion percentage is. ' he thought as he scrolled through the app.
" THERE ARE A FEW STUDENTS CAUSING TROUBLE AT YOUR SCHOOL IN THE SHADOWS. TAKE THEM DOWN. THE METHOD IS UP TO YOU. +200 POINTS. DURATION: 7 DAYS. ( Quest completion 40%"
' It's only sitting at forty, well the main part just about to begin, ' he thought as his sky blue eyes stared at the phone with smile on his face.
Looking at the phone he noticed the percentage change and his smile disappeared as he read it, ( quest completion, 60% )
" What the... ? " His eye widened as he stopped walking, focusing all his attention to the phone.
