"I don't know what I should do now. Should I find out why I got kicked out or just continue getting more friends?"
"I think I just get more friends for now, if I maybe go further and try to expose this guy or something he maybe just has more influence and resources and maybe I get framed or something, I just continue getting more popular!"
"Hello, you must be the transfer student, Mercer Julian, right?"
"Yes, I am?"
"Who is this, she looks very attractive, long brown hair, very short, she could maybe even be a model but who is she and what does she wants from me?!"
"You got kicked out the chess club and you think now why, can it maybe be that you beat the best player in a match?
"How do you know this are you a member of the club or something?"
"I know because this is not even such a rare thing happening in this school, please let me explain; So first the guy you beat and is the best in school his Yuuma Soma and he is a member of the students council; everyone that is in the council is going to do everything that they stay in and for what so ever reason almost everyone from the council is very popular
"But why do I get kicked out of the chess club, what has that to do with his popularity, I only beat him in a chess game and why do they try so hard to stay in the council.
"Being the best in chess in the whole school is a big image, when someone like you beat the best in school it's something special and if you would've took this title not only the attention towards you and your popularity would get way bigger but his would be damaged!"
"Ok but beside this, you said I am not the only one that happened to, who also had such an experience?"
"I don't know exactly how many but this is my last year so in that time I recorded around sixteen times happening, I need to go but just stay away from them, they are not going to kill you or something but they are maybe making your life bad or at least in school, see you!"
"What a weird encounter."
"I am not sure if I should believe her or not, she did not show any signs of lying so she is maybe right, this doesn't matter now I still want to become popular but I am not going to be like this exclusive group or whatever this is anyways Endo-San still wanted to meet and introduce me to other friends from him, I should hurry to the café and it would better if I just hold the information's for now."
"Endo brought Three friends from him to the café, when I look more closely all of them are from school, I don't know a bit from one of them but if I let them talk about themselves it gets me knowledge and popularity because most people love talking about themselves, I think not planning and thinking too much does the trick."
"Hello this are some friends of mine, and this is the transfer student his name is Mercer Julian, have a seat please!"
"Yeah sure."
"After talking now, I know now a few things about them, the first one name is Hoshino Mio don't know much about her only that she like animals and is pretty good in school but not really popular, Inoue Rina I now she is not that good in school but very good in sport and overall physical activity, she and Hoshino are best friends, the last Matsuda Naoya, very introverted, cold a bit unemotional; oh yeah and there is still Endo extroverted, funny, a bit louder but also kind guy, I think he has more depth than the most people think!"
"Back at home it was very fun but also I think that they have a good picture of me, maybe they are going to get even more friends, hu, Matsuda-Sam calls?!"
"H-hello Matsuda is everything ok?"
"Yeah of course, do you maybe want to meet tomorrow studying a bit, everyone from today would be there and two other friends, we would eat something afterwards, would you be like to come?"
"Yeah sure, when and which liberty?"
"The school allows students to go also on weekends to the liberty so just come to school."
"Ok, cool, see you then!"
"I slept very good tonight, my confidence is trough to roof, I don't know why but I am very confident today, that is good, it is a good sign it means that also my unconscious self is good, maybe one of these new two are even more popular, if or if not I need to get good with Matsuda-San, he can be my golden ticket; what am I talking I just want many friends it's not like a chess game!"
"So first I was thinking that I greet everyone separately but this would take too long and sounds weird, to the two I don't I instruct myself if not someone else instructions me and me instruction myself often gives a signal or an impulse to also instruct themselves, if not I just ask them later in a subtle way."
"Hello Matsuda, you are very early here, looks like were the first ones."
"You know you're also early here right, we actually said we meet at three pm. But you are also here already over twenty minutes early."
"Yeah, I just do not expect someone being so early like me ha-ha!"
"Even he is popular there is something od on him, he is to calm and a bit emotionless, this mood here is not good maybe I should change the topic maybe witch class he goes or something; this is good Endo comes, he will change the atmosphere instantly but still I need to get closer with Matsuda and then I will get even more friends!"
