Chereads / Kintarou's protagonist phase / Chapter 2 - New acquaintances, new side characters

Chapter 2 - New acquaintances, new side characters

"Hate it here." I said, when I realized, that I was forced to spend time with people I despised for their popularity. Tch, I wish my teacher wasn't so "caring".

"Welcome to the [Improvement club], Daisuke-kun!"

Standing in front of me was the most popular guy in the school, Okabe Hanatarou, his black hair and blue eyes, combined with his perfect face and his athletic body was a magnet for any girl in the school. He was truly my biggest enemy.

He wasn't the only person that caught my eye tho, while looking around the seemingly standard classroom I spotted a few more very famous students, the prettiest girl in school, Ai Chihiro being one of them. I stood there wondering, why there were such people in a club made for improving persona-wait... They're probably corrupted. That makes them my enemies.

Ok, now that I recovered from my state of confusion, I have to look around, to find a way out, just in case something bad happens.

I was standing in a seemingly normal classroom, full of students, some of which looked like they need to go to a club that is not for improving, but rather experimenting on your bad personality. Thankfully it was on the first floor and there were plenty of windows, so I could always find a way out. I had one hope of keeping my status as a loner and I tried taking my chance.

"I think I have to go the bathroom, if you'll excuse me-".

"Where do you think you're going?" said a female voice from behind me. Mission failed. I guess I had no other choice than socializing. Hmm, who should I try to be the closest with. Who gives the most benefits. I guess I should go with Chihiro-san, since if I get her to be my girlfriend she would be a good main heroine, also it would make everyone else even more envious of my power.

"Why are you looking at me and laughing like a creep? I know I'm cute, but that's just plain weird."

Ah, seems I forgot my bad habit of making a disgusting laugh while coming up with something. What an awful start, tch.

"I'm sorry that you have to stay in this club, without you wanting it, but let's try to get along well. What do you say?" said Hanatarou, while giving me an innocent smile. It's a good thing I'm not a girl, because I would've totally gone from zero to one hundred right here and now.

"Then I'm gonna call you Hana-chan. How do you feel about that, huh?" I said aggressively, trying to make him angry, because every person has a bad side, right...right?

"If you feel like doing it, I won't try stopping you, though I would prefer getting called Hana-chan by a girl, rather than a boy, nothing personal."

Why does he seem like the purest creature on earth, there must be a catch, he's probably gonna push me off a window after 12 episodes of me trying to be by his side...then again he isn't blonde and doesn't have a pony tail, so there's that.

"Why has he been standing there for 2 minutes now?". Having heard those words made me even more angry, since it came out of another beautiful girl, her name being Yui Akihibara. She wasn't really famous, but was cute nonetheless, she had long brown with green eyes and a round face. I wonder why she's not as popular as Chihiro with her chest being bigger, but then again Chihiro's silky black hair and black eyes looked too good on her. And here I am spacing out again.

"I'm sorry I just have the bad habit of spacing out from time to time. Let me introduce myself. My name is Kintarou Daisuke and I am the protagonist of this story, but since I'm generous I will give the chance to all of the girls to be the main heroine. Just don't fight each other to death, please."

Everybody in the class started laughing. "Nice introduction, now I see why Honda-sensei wanted to change your personality.". That voice seemed familiar. When I turned around I saw a guy with blonde hair and the face of a ruler. Oh yes, now I remember, his name was Yousuke Kurata, he was a member of the track team, I used to be a part of, but left, in search of the reason I became the Chosen One. Anyways, me and Yousuke were friends, during my running years, so at least there is someone I can actually talk with.

"I guess we should get started right away, then!" Hanatarou said excited. Started with what exactly...I hope I don't waste much time here.

"We'll start by playing hide and seek!" he continued "And since Daisuke-kun is new he's gonna be IT. The rules are: No leaving school grounds, no running around after staying permanently in one spot. Daisuke has 20 minutes to find all of us, if he wins, he can leave the club, but if we win, he has to stay. Sounds fair?"

"Deal." I said, confident in my abilities. I only had to find six people after all. I didn't know two of the students, but I had memorized their faces, so I shouldn't get lost.

"Okay then, everybody has two minutes to hide, so be quick! Also good luck to everybody!" said Hanatarou.

It's time to show them, how an overpowered protagonist does things.
