We've arrived at a council hall. There were other students waiting inside. They looks like they have the idea of what was going on. So, I am the only one who has no idea what's all this about.
The student who was grabbing a hold of my arm had let go. His hand made a mark on my arm.
"Kaneko Seth, right? We're very sorry for the rough dealings"
Thus student, he's like one of those people who's always going on about justice. He looks normal and not that intelligent. Note that not everything that I've said is right, I'm a human too. Mistakes are a part of our lives.
"Quite the big audience you've got here"
I'd say roughly about 200 students are here, including the other student councils.
"It's a tradition. After the Monday test, we student councils, commemorates the top 200 scorers. But, that's not all to that"
They set up chairs for the students to sit on. The student councils' standing in front of us, 200 students.
"There has been little changes among the top 200 scorers. Gosh, do I need to explain this every Friday!?"
The mic was took from the one talking to it.
"I'll explain it, you're wasting our time"
He cleared his throat and began speaking.

'So, that guy is the student council President and the girl is the Vice President. They look like a couple'
The assembly was adjourned and all of the other students were told.to go back to their classrooms. Except for me who was told to remain there, for they still have something to tell me.
We're not gonna talk in an open space. They escorted me to the student council's office.
The interior's unique. It's not like any other student council's office you always see. There's a kitchen, living room and their dining room is where they hold their meetings.
"You guys live here?"
I asked. They might be, well if you look at it, it's like a house.
"No, we don't. I had it made like this"
It was the student council President. Beside him was the Vice President and the justice enforcer guy.
Other members were told to leave the office.
"Please, have a seat"
I sat on the sofa, we're at the living room. The Vice President had prepared food and drinks for us.
"Kaneko Seth, you've placed top 10 on your class and top 200 on whole third year. The Principal herself, she checked your test papers personally, and as we reviewed and rechecked your test papers, we've noticed something"
I didn't know that Ms. Principal had checked my test papers. Moreover, the student council's able to review my test papers. This school's really something. They must have noticed that I deliberately put on a wrong answers on my tests.
"I have no idea what Ms. Principal's thinking why she did what she did"
They have my test papers and put them on the table.
"You manipulated your scores and aim for a passing score. That was very impressive and not all people could do that"
They want something from me.
"Stop beating around the bush"
I'm 50 percent impatient and 50 percent patient. I hate it when people plays with words first, when they should be telling what they want already.
"Sharp, you know that we want to ask you of something. Okay, I'll stop beating around the bush"
The Vice President handed over some pictures of students to me. There's 6 pictures and one of them is someone I know.
"Who are they?"
I asked.
"They are the five students who are controlling the top scorer behind the scenes. Each of them represents their class. We need your head on this, we're trying to unfold and reveal this school's disgusting system"
So they are a coup detat. They are trying to overthrow this school and they are doing that with just three people?
"I don't see how I can help and I don,'t have a reason to help you guys. If you're asking for someone, I may know a guy who's willing to help you"
The Vice President's brow arched up.
"I knew it, this guy's so caught up to this school's system too! President Sato, it's pointless convincing this guy! He's all money too, what if the other faction had already talked to him and is a spy!?"
President Sati burst into laughter. The Vice President had no idea why he was laughing. He's adding fuel to the fire.
"President Sato, what's so funny!? You're not taking this seriously! If he really is a spy, we might end up like Kuro-"
She said too much and blabbered what she wasn't supposed to say so casual.
'She was about to say Kurosaki-sensei. So, the rumors were true'
"It's fine, he's not our enemy. If we are not able to convince Kaneko-san, he might be able to"
The justice guy, he opened the door and someone I know had came inside the office.
"Yo, Seth-chan! They are treating you well right?"
My intuition was right. Ryou's Kurosaki-sensei's son.
"Not really, Ms. Vice President's accusing me of being a spy and all"
"Ahh!"
She's glaring at me.
"Those six, if you join us, we will crush them first and next the Principal"
What Ryou's saying is impossible. Especially, Ms. Principal, she's the owner, acting director and Principal of this school. She might even have the police backing her up and big companies might be behind the scene too.
Crushing them is impossible. Security's being tight as days goes by.
"How are you guys exactly gonna do that?"
I asked. Ryou sat beside me.
"We've made preparations, all you have to do is join us"

After talking to the student council, Ryou and I went back to the classroom. Erika-san and Tachibana-san were waiting for us to return.
I stopped both of them when they were about to say the student council. I quietly called them and explained things. I didn't say the specific reason and just leaved her with a curious mind.
---
We four went home. Erika-san said she wanted us three to spend more time together and invited us tomorrow.
I refuse her offer, because I have something to do. I'm gonna look at what's inside those VIP rooms and fulfill my duties.
Me taking part on the students council's plan was merely a helping hand to his friend. If things get too dangerous, I could always stop. But, can I really turn back, if things go wrong? Once I'm in, there's no going back.
Upon rejecting her offer, Erika-san proposed to go come with me at the Battlegrounds. I have no authority to forbid them from entering the building or come with me.
I have about more than 100k Yen. This is enough to enter the VIP room. Erika-san and Tachibana-san will be able to, because bet they have a large amount of money sitting on their phones.
---
The three of us met near the building. I wore my casual clothes and wouldn't mind what anyone would say.
They both came.pretty earlier than me. I'm just in time.
They were both waving their hands when they saw me arriving. I waved back a little.
They are like going on a date. They were both wearing pretty clothes, stylish, what any girl would wear these days.
"As expected, Secchi's so handsome! I couldn't get why you're hiding your face and wearing that glasses"
"I would be lying if I say that he's ugly"
Tachibana-san rolled her eyes on me.
"Let's go, Secchi!"
She locked arms with me and began walking. Tachibana-san were slightly shocked by the bold actions of Erika-san.
"E-Erika-san?! You're acting all clingy to Kaneko-kun!"
Erika-san looked back to Tachibana-san.
"It's fine, right Secchi?" I nodded my head. "See, you could have his other arm if you're jealous"
Se couldn't believed her.
"Who'd want to do that?! Hmm"
She crossed her arms and followed us.
'I'm doing it right now"
---
We went to changed and rendezvous inside the 1st floor. Their clothes suits both of them. The clothes made them stands out even more, particularly , Erika-san.
"Speechless? Well how do we look?"
They are asking for a compliment, I mean Erika-san is. Tachibana-san's still sulking and won't look me in the eyes. She would avert her gaze, every time our eyes met.
"You're both beautiful,. If a guy could have two wives, I'll gladly marry you two. That's how beautiful, you two are, right now"
I've said too much. Erika-san was twirling her hair and Tachibana-san's hiding her beet red face.
"Idiot" Tachibana-san muttered to herself.
"Bit, we three are friends, dating between friend are forbidden"
She had her fingers crossed, meaning we're a no-go.
"Shall we?"
It's Erika-san's first time inside the Battlegrounds and she said, she wanted to look at all the games and challenge first.
We've took our time wandering around the 1st floor. I wasn't aware of it when I first came here, but this building sure is spacey. With all the games inside here, there's even a gym for playing basketball or volleyball. The swimming pool's at the second floor.
"There, we have looked at every game there is, if possible, I'd like to proceed to the VIP room bow"
I've fulfilled her request . She seems happy about it and now they both agreed to enter the ViP room.
The three of us entered the VIP room.
"I think I saw Senpai, and she's with Nee-chan"
Rose-chan asked the students near her.
"Uh, did you see *explained their features*"
The student seemed to have seen them and pointed the VIP room. She thanked the student and followed them inside.
"Nee-chan, I didn't know that you're on a date with Senpai"
