During yesterday the group formed a group chat.
Today as class was going on, Aki was sitting in his seat like usual.
Ms. A walked into the class starting the lesson.
It was a math lesson
After the math kesson ended
The english lesson happened
Then the history lesson happened.
Finally lunchtime hit, Aki was extremely bored and the groupchat had a moment of talk.
Violet and Ari left the class.
Aki pulled up his phone.
The first message was from Yagami.
"You guys wanna meet up at the coffee shop."
All of the other replies were ofc or yes.
Aki replied.
"Sorry i think i'll pass."
After that Aki put his phone down and left the classroom.
Aki left the building and entered the cafeteria building where he took the second exit and left.
In front of him was a pathway with a lot of trees on its side
There was a pathway to his left which led to the football field on that pathway's left
While on the pathway's front was a beach with long fences.
Aki thought to himself.
"That must be for keeping the pervs away from watching."
He blinked and took the pathway in his front.
Passing by the trees and the garden like pathway's with concrete floors within the school he eventually heard laughing noises from the corner of the reception/appointment building.
He took a peek it was one of his classmates being bullied by three upperclass members
That classmate was a girl named Kazoun Irika she has sliver pigtails hair and black eyes.
Aki thought to himself.
"I dont wanna save her even if shes good looking. Why get in trouble with upper class students from class S? There are not my problem."
One of the students who was bullying Irika looked at Aki. That boy had blonde spiky hair and blue eyes around average height. He was called Blade and his full name is unknown hes a foreiginer with a average looking face.
Blade spoke up his voice mean and steady
"Look that dumbass from class Z is looking at us!"
It was easy to recongize members of other classes due to the special watches provided by the school.
Z: class Z watches are green colored
F: class F watches are yellow colored
S: class S watches are white colored
X: class Z watches are black colored.
As the two girls turned to look at Aki. He came out of the corner stop peeking.
Blade spoke
"Sorry but no witnesses allowed."
He quickly pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket.
Aki rapidily thought with panic.
"They were going to stab her with that?"
Blade ran towards Aki
Blade then slashes his pocket knife at Aki which he missed as Aki turned way banging his head against the wall.
He quickly launched a heavy punch at Blade's making him fall
"Sorry, senpai i don't know who you are but im not sure its appropriate for you to stab my classmate."
He spoke in a voice that felt devoid of any sorts of emotions.
Blade fell to the ground and his pocket knife dropped as Aki put his right foot on his back to prevent him from getting up.
Aki then looked at the girls bullying Irika.
He lowered his head a little then spoke in the voice he spoke to with Blade.
"I suppose you guys should leave too."
There was visible mix of fear and confusion on the girls without saying a word then left.
Irika looked at Aki in a apologetic tone and gave him a gentle quick nod
"Thank you."
She said and dashed away quickly.
Then Blade spoke up.
"Let me go you damn idiot!"
Aki then spoke
"Only if you gimme that pocket knife."
Blade spoke up in annoyed tone he clearly wasnt happy.
"Fine i'll let you have my damn pocket knife but... i want to let you know. I will hurt you later."
Aki then spoke.
"Am i supposed to be scared?"
Aki took the pocket knife and moved away from Blade and ran off as class was about to start.
Upon entering class late.
Everyone looked at him and Ari waved at him while Violet just looked pissed she wasnt clearly happy that Aki didnt go to that coffee shop meeting with the group chat.
Aki simply sat back in his seat as the lesson continued.
After 2 more lessons and the afternoon started the students could choose to take extra lessons or leave.
Ms. A spoke up.
"I dont really wanna teach you guys the extra lesson it would be a win-win if you guys decided to just leave instead of taking the extra lessons."
Hearing the words most students packed off and left to their dorms
As the class slowly got emptied and the last student left was Aki who was lost in his own thoughts to be leaving.
Ms. A quickly spoke to him.
"Aki Zama you have been staying in your thoughts for too long."
Aki scratched his head and quickly packed his stuff up while saying to Ms. A
"Is that supposed to be a bad thing?"
Ms. A bit her lip.
"Well- not really but i wanted to talk to you about something."
Aki spoke
"Theres a football challenge?"
Ms. A looked surprised then quickly regained her composure and spoke back.
"Indeed you must have readed the school board news like all other students but no one asked me a question about that. Anyways
I wish for you to participate."
Aki spoke his voice devoid of emotions.
"Unfortunately i cant meet your expectations but i offer a compromise."
Ms. A didnt have any reaction and quickly spoke.
"You are gonna do only one match and you are gonna choose what match you are gonna participate. Okay i can approve that."
Aki quickly nodded and then stood up to leave the classroom but immediately thought to himself while leaving.
"That wasnt what i thought but i guess its fine."
Later during nightime at around 7:30pm
outside of the cafeteria building near the year 1 classroom building were 3 vending machines and 1 streetlamp as it was lighting the place Aki walked to one of the vending machines then noticed Kazoun Irika on his right grabbing a drink then she suddenly looked at him and made eye contact her face wasnt fully visible due to the light being a little dim she gave Aki a faint smile and stopped looking at him to open the bottle cap of her water bottle to start drinking.
What Aki ordered was a energy drink (T/N just because he was raised in a orphanage that teaches children unique things and different behaviors doesnt mean he cant get tired however Aki most of the time will easily not get tired.)
After getting the energy drink. Aki began drinking the energy drink then Irika looked at him and spoke to him in a calm friendly apologetic serious tone.
"Hey. I appericate that you saved me from that heck of a bullying... i could've got stabbed."
Aki spoke in his usual tone where his face was blank and he had a calm friendly voice with a little touch of coldness
"No problem at least you werent harmed. Although i recommend that you get fighting skills."
Irika smiled.
"Well you are right. Hey but can we exchange contacts so i could call you up for help. Maybe you can also train me how to fight aswell?"
Aki then told her.
"Sure."
After finishing his drink they exchanged contacts and Aki walked to his dorm.
Aki then thought to himself.
"If i make her dependent on my help and getting training for me i could make her my pawn in secrecy but would it be the right thing? Its questionable however i should only try to do that when situation in this school gets serious."
Then Irika thought to herself.
"Hes mysterious, keeps me intriguied after him."
