Julian already knew that his plan worked only when he looked closer at their body language and facial expressions but still something happened that he didn't expected, they bowed down, pretty wide down, they all said together "We are sorry and thanks that you wanted to help us!"
Back in America it was something unconventional that someone bowed down, he quickly said "It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to bow because of me!" His voice was uneven, also a bit embarrassing and slightly trembling.
"We just wanted to say thanks, if you need help sometimes you can ask us!"
"Thanks, it's nice to see that everything is good now, if I may, at what point did you guys began get peaceful with each other?"
They were looking at each other, if anyone might have an answer.
"Could it be that it more happened over time instead of one moment?!"
They all agreed, they still talked a bit but then they were going in a different direction, after they were away suddenly he felt a presence behind him, he turned around, he tore open his eyes slightly, he Yuuma stood there "How did he sneaked up to me, it feels as he teleported to me?!"
"You kind of scared me there!" Julian tried to say cool and calm.
"Exactly one week ago I gave you to the task to make this two groups don't hate each other anymore or maybe even not the other gender anymore, you did not only this but also became popular in their class, that's really good you know?!"
"What does he mean with that I became popular in the class, why did you say this, does he know maybe about my goal?!"
"Is it really that good?"
"Yes, and something that I said before made you think if I found it out right?"
"What do you mean, you didn't even talk about something special?"
"Yes you are right, but anyways, I said that you have on favor, I hope I don't need to say that my power and influence has also limits right, also I am not going to do hard criminal stuff, you don't need to use the favor now, here is my phone number."
They exchanged phone numbers, and then Yuuma fell by accident in thoughts, Julian saw him like this, staring into nothing.
"Is everything okay?"
A few seconds later Yuuma kind of woke up again, he laughed slightly.
"So, my intuition wasn't wrong again, Hehe."
"What do you mean?"
"I thought again about that you looked a bit nervous for once and…do you want to become the most popular in school?"
Julian´s face got pale, he began to sweat quickly.
"I am right…"
"Don't worry I am not going to tell it anyone, you don't have to use your favor for it, I am just excited to look at your journey, I am also in the same grade as you, so I can ne always at the newest stand at how near you are to your goal, we will see again sometime!"
He walked away confidently, Julian was still there standing, trembling, it was as if he couldn't move.
"I think I can trust him, but it was still scary as hell!"
"So, this means I can go on to the next class 2-8!"
This school is extremely big, two-thousand students in total, every grade has about twenty-two to twenty-three classes and each class has about thirty students, even though he became popular or at least known in seven classes if we include his also but all that together means that he is maybe a bit more popular or know for about ten percent in the whole school, for the seven classes he needed weeks, even more than one month, let's say he needs for seven classes one month, with all classes, this would mean that he would need ten months, the number doesn't seems bad in comparison to the goal but the problem is that this is an extreme optimistic calculation, you still need to include multiple things like, what if it takes longer than one month, the one month was already very optimistic per seven classes, also other things what if there are other obstacles and problems or what if there is again an opponent like Ran, maybe the student council in the future? If we also calculate that it would mean that Julian would need at least not ten months but fifteen or even longer! If he really needs so much time to become the most popular in school, how long would it take to change the whole popularity system, to change the system he would need at least another two years! The next year is already his last school year ever!
He already calculated everything and now he has a problem, he can become the most popular in school but maybe he cannot manage do change the system, this lets him think "Do I even want to become popular in be present in such a system?"
This lets him think if it's even worth becoming the most popular in school but not being able to change the system or just maneuver out of this whole mainstream popularity thing and live a peaceful school life?!
"What should I do?"
But then in all his thoughts he remembered things from already halve an year ago, back in the old school, about his father, this was a moment that made the decision easy, he is obviously again choosing becoming the most popular in school, he maybe can't change the whole schools system but maybe his influence as the most popular school can leave a great influence that even after he is graduated his position as the most popular in school leaves a long term positive influence?!
"Sigh…maybe I can't change the whole popularity system, but I will become the most popular in school in such a way as I would like the system to be like…?!"
"I wonder when and if I ever need the favor from Yuuma, I am still not sure what I should think of both, my first intension would be to leave it for an emergency but if there will never be one what I can't think of I probably wish money from him, because beside helping in emergencies I don't think that a favor helps much.
"But anyways, should concentrate on class 2-8 now, sigh…I already made myself a picture about them and…I think if I should even try or how exactly? Beside that the class has a girl that's ranking is top ninety-five, so in the fucking top hundred, no not this, the almost the whole class are girls, athletes to be accurate, from this class with twenty-nine students there are only four boys, from what I heard is that the boys are kind of an own team and that they don't have much contact with the others in class beside the other boys, even if I could become popular in this class it could get too much attention and maybe pull rumors, both I don't need in any way!"
"The other problem is if I become friends with the boys if I even have a chance to get in contact with the others?!"
Beside this problem there can be a problem for also being popular for the other gender, Julian thought about this guy Jason that was very popular in his class, does he wants to be popular for the girls because they all find him attractive and want to date him or does he just wants that they just like him because he is a cool guy?
Julian could need anything more besides that other girls have a love interest in him, especially in such a mass, so he needs to be absolutely friend zoned!
