Prologue
"Class, congratulation on your graduation. I hope that you can keep up the good work for the same in your high school''s life. Farewell and dismiss," The teacher said with shed her tears and leaving the class
"thank you, teacher," all of them bid a farewell for the teacher
Once that female teacher leaving the homeroom class, all the student becomes noisy again as there''s among of them who crying to each other with a hug, there are also doing some exchange email address and number. All of them doing the same thing, except for this 15 years old fat boy, Aiza, who keeps busy with his smartphone.
"Hey, Aiza, come on man. This is the last day for us to be gathering like this so don''t just sit there and do your listing of anime updates. Come and join us in exchanging the email address with the girls," A guy with slicked-back hair talks to him while patting his shoulder
"Dan..." his words somehow manages to pick his interest
"He''s right, Aiza. Soon we will separate into a different high school, so right now is your chance to exchange the address and the number of the girl you like. Surely you must have at least one ''apple'' that you look forward in this class..." a tall-skinny guy called Esma entering their conversation
Both of them desperately asking him to join them... and since this is the last day for him to sit in this class, Aiza gives up and nods... signing that he agreed to their invitation.
Just about he rise from sitting, he noticed that at the far to the right side of the class, there''s a group of girls that whispering with loud, badmouthing him loudly.
"Who the hell want to have a number from anime ''freak'' like him, gross" the girl shows her disgust reaction when she heard a name called Aiza
"hahaha, that''s not all, he''s also a piggy with a silver hair! hahaha.. talks about the old man''s hair... he''s no different than them," she laughed together with her friends
Upon hearing those words... the three of them stood quietly... fraze by those uncalled reactions.
Suddenly, a girl comes toward Aiza with a furious look and she grabs his collar...
"Hey Piggy, it''s your fault. Because of your existence in this class, we cannot win all perfect looking in class. Just so you know, with you around, my friendswere being mocked as pig farmers from other class you know!" said her furiouslySupport the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
"H-hey Lysa...that is not my fa-"
"IT IS YOUR FAULT, SWINE !! And now that we all graduated from this school, we won''t be seeing each other again. I overheard your conversation earlier. With that noticed... as a farewell gift, I also giving you my''address'' as well" Lysa gives her friends a signal to gang on him
"Hold his hand!"Lysa said toher guys
"Let me go!! What are you trying to do!!" said him while struggle with everything he got, but the guys hold with far more stronger than his squishy muscle can do. his eyes suddenly focus on Lysa''s hand that holding a marker pen, the permanent one.
"Like I said, giving you my address" her face shows disgust toward him. She suddenly writing with violent on Aiza''s cloth, which originally white uniform.
"No! stop!! this my brother''s uniform!! please!!"he pleads
"Oh god, close his mouth. I don''t want his ugly and stupidity effected on me" said her while still smudging his uniform. The others just watching that scene with two kinds of feels. Enjoyed and can''t do anything against the Empress.
"Hahahaha, more... more, hey..! give me the leftover!!, "shout her. After she getsit, she trashes on his head with force, causing him to sit in his chair with a helpless look.
The other people from other class heard the noise and went to watch as well. Despite helping Aiza, they laughed, enjoyed the show caused it is done by the empress of school, Lysa. The reason why the teachers are not coming to rescue is that they have a meeting on the different building.
"That will teach you, you ugly pig! go away from my face and don''t show your hideous face around me if you don''t want any trouble, you old fart boy," said her with a laugh
Aiza grabs his bag and runs away from the class. They laugh with hard just by looking that tummy of him keeps shaking while running. While on his run, the people who see him feeling weird but also feels funny while seeing that pack of bun burger keep jiggling with fast.
Aiza keeps running and went to his house.
"Hey Aiza, welcome home-"his brother greets him but beingignored. Then he runs up to the stairs and went to his room and locked.
"Wait a minute, Aiza!!, Aiza!! open this door!! why the hell that your head covered with chilli sauce and broccoli!! hey!! open this fucking door!!" his brother yells at him, but still no answer by him
"Your uniform... I saw it looked damn shit. Did you being bullied just now?? Hey Aiza!! answer the fucking question! Did those brat bullying you!? Am I right?!! I''m gonna kill those bastards right now!! I don''t care if it''s a girl, a grandma or a fucking teacher!! I gonna wreck their neck with my bat," he walks away by stomping the wooden floor...
Hearing Farlan abusive intent, Aiza hurriedly came out from his room and hug him from the behind... pleading him to stop
"No!! Don''t do that, Farlan" He started to cry
"Get off, those friends of yours are too much to ignore. Someone gonna teaches them about ''manners'' right now! So fuck off!"
"Please brother, don''t do it!! I''m begging you, big brother!"
He then stopped struggling after hearing the word ''brother''. Aiza rarely says so and it only came out if things went out from Aiza''s control... and Farlan understands that perfectly.
With the fire of wrath that still lit in his heart...all for the sake of his little brother''s safety... he grabs Aiza''s shirt and slams him on the wall...
"You too much soft! too weak! You can''t even stand for yourself so why bother protecting them!?"
"Those bastard keeps ridiculing you and you still want to keep silent about it? Don''t fuck with me! If this thing continues, you''re the one who will suffer until the end!"
Aiza keeps silent from denying the truth.
Farlan then takes a long breathe and release Aiza from his grasp
" Remember what I said, You''re the one who will suffer in the end if you give your head to be stamped on by those animals like them.
Chapter 1
A week has passed since the tragedy, Aiza keeps himself lock in his room and only come out when times to eat. The words from Lysa and his brother, Farlan has budging him since then. Her expression was clear in his mind, her laugh... her disgust expression towards him... her words, and her actions, keep spinning around him make him a headache.
"I guess I''ll going to watch some recap or looking some of the new anime in this season" Aiza trying to get up from lying down on his bed. With his shaking hands to trying to support his weigh, he has difficulty to get up." Ahh, damn it" he gives up on trying to get up from the position of push up, instead, he''s rolling on the bed to the side.
With his eyes were numb and red for crying, he walks slowly toward his chair and grabs a headphone that hangs on the pc. When he sits, causing a loud squeak from it, and his hand push the start button.
His mind was going nowhere, thinking about those ''address'' scene caused by Lysa. It''s not like this was the first time he gets the violent treatment from his same-age friends, its because that this was the first time that a girl doing the same things at him." a girl bullying a boy, huh? I guess I''m a loser after all. Instead of wanting to punch her face... I ran away from her, afraid about to get beaten by those boys around her. What use of this big body if I scared to get hit..."
Once the pc was on, he''s typing at Google for researching his new collection for anime." hmm... hmm, bookmarked, bookmarked, also bookmarked" he keeps scrolling his mouse while searching those list. And suddenly he found something that makes him interested.
"Masamune Kun no revenge, huh. What am I thinking, looking at that words'' revenge'' has pulled my interest? Hahaha, silly me. I give it a try then, here we go" Aiza click on that story episodeStolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
He silently watching that anime and somehow he really focuses on that story," the mc background story somehow same as me but unlike me, he just being trash-talked, rejected by his love interest. But I do like his determination to change himself. From being fat-dumb looking to the hot looking guy, and..." Aiza stopped his word, thinking about something that triggered in his mind
"if this thing continues, you''re the one who will be suffered till the end" "hahaha, that''s not all, he''s a piggy with a silver hair... hahaha, talks about old man''s hair... he''s no different than them" "gross" "I don''t want his ugliness and stupidity effects on me" "IT iS YOUR FAULT!!" "piggy~" "You''re an eyesore, piggy, get lost" "your fault that we, cannot win all perfect looking in class" "you fat fuck! eat this shit" " those words keep its looping around Aiza''s mind
Suddenly he remembered about all anime and manga that he has watched and read until now, "that''s right, those mc''s, all of them trying hard to get their life to be as colourful as they now, also there are other mc''s who also already got their blessing life without a problem thou. For all this time, I''ve been watched them, read them... from being weak to being a stronger, from being ridiculed to be an op mastermind bastard, from lonely to have a lot''s of friends, from stronger to become fucking hell stronger, and now, from ugly fat to become hottie bastard"
Aiza suddenly up from sitting and grip his hand looked punch," Until now, my life is nothing but pathetic, pitiful. Get beaten, being joked, being ridiculed, all those shits keep coming to me because I''m weak and useless. But this time... not anymore because I think that''s long enough for me to keep sitting in front of pc and keep looking others people''s lives to get a rose and for as I get nothing from here. I think It''s about time for us to change sit, MC''s. watching me as I will definitely get my colourful life and revenge. I will conquer everything"
Aiza suddenly look at his monitor, his'' one punch man'' wallpaper," before that, I must be op first"
Chapter 2
Since after he got inspired by all the anime and manga that he has read and watched, he began to do the rigorous training for him to get his luxury life in high school... to place him to the top of the hierarchy. He was tired to be called piggy by those people around him. With the support from his fiction master from one punch man, he began to do the same things as him and of course, is not an easy task... for an obese class 2 like him.
"Huff... huff... haa...this... training...is... crazy! who woulda thought that running 10 km is a too big hurdle for a type like me?" he gasped and stared down at the ground while his hand clinging to the top of the gate in front of his house.
"Haa... I want to quit already~!" said him with dispirit
"You want to stop already? despite all your pep talk three days ago?" a voice was heard with clear... through his mind, and his eye was looking up in front of him. An afterimage was created and it was a fictional character of his mentor, Saitama from one punch man.
"Saitama...sensei!" his eyes were open with wide
"You just already started and you want to give up? are you joking me? where did your spirits go after all that talks from these past days?" said that caped baldy
"B-but... is not like I not tried enough, but these trainingsare too much for me. Even my legsare all become jelly after that 100 squat, and I have aproblem withgoing to my room. And my hands are all fatigue, even can''t muster any strength and my stomach is really fucking hurt right now, you know!?" Aiza said with angrily
"You know, this is waste of time. If you want to quit, I don''t force you to. Besides, if you rather being mocked in entire of your life... that''s your choice and hey... who am I to stop you" said him while picking nose
Aiza suddenly becomes quiet. He realises that it''s true if he wants to get his revenge and luxury life in school, he must walk in the path of full with thorns... and endured until he gets the sweetest fruits that awaits him in the end of the path
"Y-yeah, you are right sensei. I just already begin my training not long ago, and it''s shameful that I had to stop. Alright, I''m all fire up! thanks, caped baldy!" He replied with enthusiasmsUnauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.
"Somehow, I prefer the title of sensei than caped baldy...but oh well, good luck," said him while disappearing in front of Aiza
"Thanks, sensei!!" Aiza shout while waving his hand
"Umm, big bro. Who are you talking to?" anothervoice that greets him from behind, causing him shocked and let out a weird voice
"Ha... It''s you, Noa. Don''t scare your brother like that" said him
"But you are the one who scared us, right...Yuli?" said his little sister, Noa...who asking a person next to her
That girl despite answer Noa''s question, she whispering at Noa with a weird glaring."Yuli said, you really are a weirdo, shouting to no one, waving to no one as well. creepy! said her" Noa is translating on what Yuli has whisperedto her.
"Yeah-yeah, thanks for the comment," he feels annoyed by her acts
And then, that girl still doing the same thing, whisper to Noa," she said" I do not compliment him but he is grateful? really weirdo!" Noa said
"Just stop with this ''she said'' thing!" He began to irritated by Yuli''s action
She ignores those talk and continues to whisper," what? Are you leaving already? I thought you want to hang out in my room? want me to accompany you to your house? no? okay... take care... see you at school~" Noa talking to Yuli while Yuli keeps her whispering to Noa. The two of them are really in their world... even ignore that Aiza existent. Then she waves her hand to Noa and walk past Aiza like he''s not exist
"That Yuli girl really has a weird attitude huh," said Aiza while looking at her
"But not as weird as you thou, hehehe," said her with chuckle
"You lil... hah... I don''t have any energy to scold you... I''m too tired right now~" said him with sigh
"Oh, now I notice, these days... you have been running for a while, and you also trying to lift a gas cylinder, causing mom go rampaging on you thou, hahaha. And you let out a weird voice from your room... is there something happen to you?" ask Noa with curious
"Weird voice?? ah... I''m doing a sit up and push up, also squat. It''s really painful and that''s how that weird voice came out... so don''t misunderstand and don''t go telling the others" said him
"Oh, so you trying to losing weight! how cool! "Noa said with awe reaction
"Hehe, It''s nothing... I''m just started so I need to give my commitment to achieving my goal!" said him with a ''cool'' pose
"You so cool, big bro~! can I help you with anything?" said her with a smile
"It''s alright, I can do my battles alone. Ah, if you really insist that want to help me, why not go telling mom to don''t always go frying all the food, it''s the greatest enemy to my ''go-go victory'' plan" Aiza smiling while patting his little sister''s head
Chapter 3
"Noa, go tell Aiza to come down, its time for dinner," said her mother while preparing the meal for supper. Without question, she goes upstairs to fetch his brother
"I''m home" Farlan voice echoing to the dining room. He put his bat, leaning against the wall and walks to the dining room. His nose sniffs a delicious smell, and it was a fried rice with chicken. He runs with fast and to see the meal for himself, and he drooling for it.
"Wow! mom! did something good happen to you today?" Farlan said as his mouth cannot hold much longer for his drooling
"And what makes you said that?" ask her back
"Well, usually you cook something super extra delicious when something great happens... like father comes home, Noa got the first place in a test, Aiza got a girlfriend... well the third one won''t happen though, hahaha. So whats the deal?" said him
"Hmm...two of them are correct," said her while pouring a soup into a bowl
"Ehh! so that''s mean... Aiza really has got a girlfriend?? I know dad is coming home today and Noa''s exam is next month, so that would be impossible... but about Aiza has a girlfriend is... is this the end of the world?" said him with confused
"How rude of you. That''s not about it. But talk about a girlfriend, you also don''t have one yet, aren''t you...? despite your face~ hahahaha" his mother glaring with a sneering intent
"S-shut it, I''m trying hard you know!? just tell me already!" he goes to the fridge and brings out the jar of milk
"Hahaha, you so weak when it comes to provocation. Alright, you do realise that in these two past months, Aiza somehow look so dedicate on something"
"Yeah...now that you''ve mentionedit...I also rare to see him in the living room unlike usual, and he keeps himself locked in his room and comes out only to eat. Talk about eating... I noticed that he takes not even half of the rice to his portion. and I saw him running every single fucking day! what''s going on?" Farlan drinking a milk while listening to his momUnauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"Hey, no vulgar words used in this house, you''ll effect on Noa" that woman pointing at him using her ladle like a blade that ready to pierce through the enemy''s flesh... and that''s what in Farlan''s head right now
"S-sorry"
"But, you''re right. He ate with little, frequent jogging all days, he even bought some punching bag and hang in his room... using his money by pawn all of his anime figures. He even lift one of my gas cylinders...makes like a dumbbell, I know that he wants to get fit..."
"And?"
"That''s why I want to support him, by cooking his favourite food... because he has tried his best," said his mom with satisfied
Farlan look closely at that soup and the fried rice, it''s somehow oily," I doubt that plan will works"
The sound of footsteps come from the stairs has reached the ears of the two of them and with instant, they end their conversation,"Hmm? what''s with the silent look?" said Aiza while walking to the table
Their focus on Aiza''s arm, which used to become big and squishy has turned to be slim and solid. His neck that also used to be wide, has become normal. Even his ''burger buns'' has lost. Not just that, all of the fat from his body has not been seen anymore, all that left is the solid muscle with a slim body. He is even a same tall with his brother now, from 164 to 173cm
Aiza just wearing a singlet with sports pants, causing he looked so different person. And behind him is Noa," Hehe... my brother has become a different person~"
"H-hey, what did you do to your body?!" said Farlan with surprise
"Just some work out and training for my body," said him with a smile
"No way in hell, you look so different man," said Farlan with happy, hug him with force
"Yeah, now you look more stunning, just like your father when he was young," said his mother
"You can say that again, mom," said Noa
"It''s all thanks to you, big bro. If not of those words of your, I may not be able to achieve what I have right now. thanks" that word make Farlan shocked
"Do you mean, that all of you doing now is for..."
"yes, ''that''" Aiza said with confident
While they busy chatting in the dining room,"Hello, I''m home...guys?" a sound of middle age man has reached them and they went to the front door
"Welcome home, dad, " said all of them
"Ah, I''m home... Mira, Farlan, Noa, and... who is this handsome guy? your boyfriend, Noa?" said that middle age man called dad by them
"This is Aiza, dad," said Noa while clinging on Aiza''s arm
"Oh... Aiza~ Aiza........Ai....za...........AIZAAAA!!?" shout his father with loud and shocked
"Oh, my mushroom!!... what happens to your body??"
Aiza respond with smile
Chapter 4
"Do you forget anything?? like a pencil... or a pen? Oh, do you want to take with you some tuna sandwich for your snack?? do you-" Mira was nervous for today as her son is taking an entrance exam in some prestige high school in next town
"mom~! it''s okay... I''m ready for this. Just wish me luck, that''s all" Aiza said with smile
"Aiza, do your best!" His father comes from behind that lady and give a bump fist
"Hmm... sure dad" He replied that man''s bump fist
"Hey Aiza, come on man... my ''baby'' can''t wait any longer, she wants to run now," Farlan said while waiting outside with his motorcycle.
"Yeah, I''m coming... I get going now..!" Aiza says to his parent and walks toward Farlan
"Ughh, so light... I''m not used to this, hahaha" Farlan said to Aiza right after he sits behind him
"S-shut up, delinquent. Just go already" Aiza blushing. "See you later, guys!" waving to that middle old couple
Farlan ride with fast even outspeedof those cars that in front of him. And Aiza keeps yelling non-stop ever since from his house.
"F-Farlan, slow down!! I''m near to flush away from this speed!!" Aiza speak with loud
"Slow!? there''s no such thing as word of slow in my brain, so no~ woohoo!!" Farlan ride even faster than before
"NOO!!" Aiza yell with scared
Suddenly Aiza remembered, Farlan always get scold by their mother for always get the ''love letter'' from the police, being caught for break the speed limit.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
But thanks to him, Aiza arrive earlier than he anticipated, although he already looks pale from that ride. The sound of Farlan''s motorcycle has gained an attraction to those students who walk beside the road
"Finally...t-the ground," Aiza said with dizzy and walk slowly to the main gate. "Hey..!" Aiza turn his gaze to his back
"Good luck, little brother," Farlan smiling, showing his thumb up
"Just get the job already, big bro" Aiza walks away with a smile, but still with slow step
Aiza walks with slowly, put his hand to his head and muttering about that ride earlier, but he doesn''t realise that some people are watching him from all angle.
"Hey-hey, look at that. Doesn''t he look hot to you" whisper one of the girls to her friend
"Yeah, you''re right. His hand somehow look''s strong. Is he a martial art practitioner?" Her friend point at that Aiza''s visible arm, which he folds his sleeve.
"That''s what are you looking at? is the rough guyare your type?" that girl tease her friend and they both laugh
Aiza realises that the atmosphere in here somehow talks about him, but he ignores and goes to the notice board that a lot of students was standing in front of it.
"Let see, which hall that got my name... hall...hall" He narrows his eye to see that list
"Ughh, hmm, Where...is....my...name...!" a voiceofa struggling girl suddenly caught Aiza attention and he turnshis gaze to his right
It''s a girl with a medium height, who tries to look at the notice board via standing with her toes. She struggles with her might, but the wall of the tall people has limited her sight.
Aiza feels sorry for her and he tries to speak to her,"Umm, hey... can I help you?" he said
"Huh, err, thanks but no, I''ll do in my own way," that girl with a long dark blonde hair said
"with standingat the end of your toe? It''s okay, let me help you. It would be much easier and fast. You might want to do a quick review of your notes later, am I right?" Aiza said
"Yeah...well..." that girl become unsure
Aiza remember the lesson he takes from watching some anime," a hero rescuing the people with smile on his face will surely make their heart feel ease" he thought
"What is your name?" Aiza said with smile
"It''s... Eva... Eva Herman" She said with shy
"Okay lady Herman, let me take a peek, Eva...Herman... got it. We''re the same hall" Aiza said
"Yeay...that''s great..~" She sounds happy but say it with quiet
"What did you say?" Aiza asks
"H-hmm... it''s nothing" She said with stuttered
Chapter 5
"It''s been a week and I finally got enrolled in that school, but the problem is, I can''t find Lysa name on that pass list.The teacher said that she will attend that school but is it true? damn... waste of my time!" Aiza smack his hand on table
"What''s wrong, big bro?" Noa asks as she enters the room
"It''s nothing, Noa" he replied
"It''s not nothing if you whack on the table for no reason, right?" She said with a smile for as Aiza has no comment about it
"Emm, there is really nothing, seriously. I just...er...whack a mosquito! yeah... it''s really bugging me for a while and I got a chance...that''s why!" he began to find another reason to lie his little sister.
"I see, okay then. Hmm, one thing...you should spend money on your cloth...yours seems big and loose, it wastes on your pretty body~" She walks away and leaving Aiza''s room
"cloth? yeah... I never thought about that," he looks at himself while posing in front of his big mirror
"Well, she''s right. this cloth somehow big for me. Time to hit the clothes shop," he grabs his wallet and went downstairs
The shopping mall was far 5km from his house, and Farlan is not at home to send him, so he goes there by walk. His mind was still thinking if Lysa has gone to his school or not,"There''s no point in thinking about that witch, and the hell why I walking?? I''ve been doing a running 10km a day! it''s time to put to good use!"
He''s starting sprint with fast. He even did a fast evade, jump and slide on any obstacle that in front of his way. Luckily he''s wearing a hoodie, the people who wait at the bus stop are can''t see his face right after he runs past them
"Freedom!!" he shouts with happy, and with a short of time, he already arrive without gasping for airIf you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
"I should rise up my running program to 20km per day, now let see how much money did I bring with me...5000, that is more than enough" Aiza put back his wallet on his pocket and ready to walk
"Hey~" a voice has stopped him and it''s come from his left, he slowly turning his head
"Eva!! what are you doing here?" he surprised by this new character that he already just met a week ago
"I''m doing a shopping for my sister. Today is her birthday," She showed a several shopping bags that has a gift in it.
"Ah, tell her that I congrats her on her birthday," he said
"sure!" She replied with a smile
"so how on earth did you find me? I''m wearing a hoodie, so by any chance... is it by telekinesis?" Aiza performs a defensive position
"telekinesis?? no, you silly. I''m just resting on that bench, coincidentally, I heard a voice shout about ''freedom!!'' and I saw a person with a black hoodie was running with fast. I recognize your voice so I''m sure it was you that a person wearing a black hoodie so I came to you and here we are" explain her
"O-oh, I see... damn it! why I''m in this stance like I''m in a threat. Now I looks like an idiot to her, and she''s gonna tell anyone that has being her friend!" Aiza began to worry
"Aiza, you really are a funny guy" She laughs
"A-hahaha, well...I''m... a funny guy?? doing this stance and spout some nonsense joke?? me?? last time I''m doing this to a girl and she responds with a cold and disgusting look!" he thought about his past
"I guess a tales about'' a green pass will bestow to those who a hot looking guy'' is true! but am I a hot guy to begin with??" he started to unsure about himself while she is non-stop laughing from earlier
"Ha...so, why are you here?" Eva asks
"I''m looking for new clothes, mine in the wardrobe was old and the colours began to fade," Aiza said
"Is that so, then, did you know where to find a place that has both ofgoodprice and stuff?"
"I-I don''t know about that..." he replied
"Let me help you then. I want to repay a debt on those teaching of yours for me when we take the entrance exam week ago, because of it, I got in" her eye show its enthusiasm
"Very well then, I take your offer... but before that..." he grabs those shopping bags at the ground
"H-hey! you can''t do that..."
"Yes I can, besides, these bags are heavier than its look and I doubt that small hand of yours will have any strength anymore. So while you showing the way, I''ll carry these things, okay?" Aiza asks while stare at her
"I-if you say so..." she walks ahead of him with blushing
Aiza just smile and watch that girl walk with fast, "she''s perfect for my practice on one of my objectives in conqueringmy high school life, conquer all the girl''s heart"
Chapter 6
"So which one will you choose? the grey one..? or the blue one?? if I have to say... you must take the two of these. It''s perfectly suited for you!!" that worker said enthusiastically
"Err... well I take both then" Aiza replying with a forced smile
Aiza walks out from that shop with listless movement, as he hearing," Thank you, please come again next time!!" that worker waving at him with energetic
"So, how was it??" Eva asked while sat on the bench, in front of that shop
"To summarize, most of my money has been digging out from my wallet, all goes to that woman. That place is so scary" Aiza huffed and sit beside Eva with tired
Eva suddenly gap her sit distance from Aiza a bit with redcheeks and she began to clear her throat," D-do you know which class will you be?"
"Hmm, I do not know. But maybe 1-4 or 1-6... based on my screwed answer, must be the bottom class"
"I''m sure you will be fine" Eva tries to comfort him
"Yeah... I guess. And..."
"Hey, that''s Lysa from our school" Eva cut his word before he even finishes it.
"W-where is she??" he looks haunted
"There. She with her companions, heading to the third floor by using escalator now," She pointing at the left side of him
Aiza narrowed his eye and stare with extremelyfocused. She''s right, the person that Eva pointed is really is Lysa. She''s wearing a light blue colour of the dress and a handbag that hanging on the left side of her.
"Yeah... it really is her" he noded while his eyes still focused on that person
"How do you know that''s her? I only pointed at the escalator. Do you know her??" She asked curiously
"Eek- well, I- I only know her name, and my guts tell me that person might be the Lysa you''ve mention before. Look, that girl with a blue light dress is her right??" that answer makes Eva nodedThis text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
"And by your said, is she will enrollin our school as well?"
"Yup, she is"
"But I don''t see her name anywhere on the pass-list"
"I''ve heard that she comes to our school by recommendation. Also not to mention, our school, is her grandpa''s school... he is principal" she states it
"What the ffu.... future...!" Aiza almost using a foul language in front of her but manages to hold in
"Yup, what the future we have. She such a bright person you know. She is beautiful and has a long dark purple-greyhair to match it, also... her face is small like a model. Before I met you at the board notice, I accidentally met her first at the cafeteria, and she''s the one who greets me and has a light conversation. Ah... she such a warm person" she replied while her mind full of blissful of her thought of Lysa
Aiza suspecting that Eva might admire her too much. But he''s not blaming her for that for as he, from the past used to be like that until he knows the truth about her. He once a fan of her, and willing to stay a longer in after school, just because to accompanying her to do her task as a president in class. Although she already has her group to keep her check, for him... just watching her from afar is alsoconsider as a guard as well
Aiza grabs his drinks and starts swallowing the fluid with his eyes not take off from her. He continues watching her on the top floor, walking with her ''watchdogs'' that once make him humiliate
"On her right is Paul and behind her is Jabboc and Leisman. The other girls are from the class... I mean the ex-class. Those three known for bullying us the nerd to the extent... just wait for your punishment for your deed~!" Aiza glare at them with resentment
"Aiza, are you okay?? you look somehow irritates. Is it because of me that your money has gone from your wallet?" Eva began to look worried
"Ah, no! my eyes suddenly become vague... maybe because I become tired from that earlier running I guess... hahaha," Aiza pretend to laugh to ease Eva''s worried
"I see... then lets us head back home. My father might be waiting for me at the bus stop... and speaking of my father, he''s already sent a message," Eva shows her smartphone to Aiza
//////////
"Well, Aiza... thanks for carrying these bags," Eva said while her dad''s car right behind her
"Yeah... thanks for shopping with me too... it''s reassuring to have someone who has a knowledge about a decent shop with a decent price, although all of my money has burned, it''s really worth it" Aiza replying with gratitude, showing the bags that full of clothes
"Hey...umm... Ai...za..." Eva stutter makes Aiza stop from walking away
"Yeah? what is it, Eva?" he asked while facing her back
"Can I... have... your number, please!!" Eva bow her head while her hand shows her smartphone to him
Aiza becomes stunned, and then he looks radiant when he heard that ''holy words'' that came out from her mouth," S-s-sure!" Aiza reach his hand and grab that phone with trembling
Once he done with giving his number, he gave it back to her," I will send a text to you! see you later, Aiza! " She hurry enters the car and wave at him until that car figure has disappeared in his sight.
With feels delighted, Aiza walks with fast, and jumps up and down with shouting," My very first girl''s number!!"
Chapter 7
In the early day before he goes to school, at 6:00 am, he doing his usual training, the 100 push-ups. Not long ago, he has a difficulty in reaching 10, but now he can even do a 3 rep of 100 with ease.
"98...99....100!" Aiza release a heavy breathe
He grabs his drink and stares at the calendar that hanging at the edge of his room," today''s the day!" he said with serious expression
Then he takes shower at a steady pace. After finishthe shower, he preparing himself with wearing the uniform. He opens the magazine that he borrowed from his sister to search the page that consists the trendy hairstyles for men...and of course, he copying the one that suits with his current hair.
"Hmm...I guess this will take care of it" said him in front of the big mirror in his room
"Well, look at that... for the first time in my life, I have no struggle in wearing a pant, nor to tie the button on my shirt. All well in one go!" he looks satisfied
"Yeah...that''s what you deserve for what have you endure these past months." an unheard voice came from his behind, and this time is a female
He turns his head slowly, and shocked," you...you... one of my waifu, Eri from School Rumble!"
"Who the hell is your waifu!" she hit Aiza''s head with hard
"Ouch...why did you hit me~!"
"That''s your first lesson, don''t show your anime fanatic side to other people!"
"But, right now I''m looking cool, right?" he posing with cool in front of her
"Urghh... self-proclaimed, but that''s true. You look striking than your pathetic form in the past, you can take that from me~" her answer makes Aiza blushingUnauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.
"Emm, try folding your sleeves," Aiza do as she told
"Hmm, perfect!" Erin shows a hand sign okay with a bright smile
"But, if you''re showing your otaku side to other people in that school, it might turn bad or else, because we do not know how their minds work, am I right?nevertheless, if you screwed, your high-school life might be ended, thus your chance to conquer will fall." Her reasoning makes Aiza let out bullets of sweat
Aiza thinks carefully about what she said.
"Say, what are your objectives in your conquering?"
Aiza clears his throat,"First, I will make my name on top of my fellows year in the test. Second, I will catch every high-ranking girl''s heart whether my senior or my years, even junior. Third, not that I strive for the student council president''s seat, but I aiming to the seat of the top of hierarchy in everything" he said with determination in his eyes
"Wow, that''s mean, you want to grab the sit of the king, but what for? most of the student prefer their life in high-school with a low profile. I know that you hold grudges on Lysa and her gang, but to conquer the high-school, seem different"
"Because the view from the top is always more beautiful than from the ground, am I right?"
"I''m tired being mocked, ridiculed, being bullied by those bastards, being lonely without friends and the one you dear... just because of my fat body and my love for anime. I want to climb upon them, trampling them, seize everything that they have...let them know what it feels like to sit on the lowest rank!" he holds himself from crying
"Then if that the case, you should conquer them. Show them what you got. Remember, this time, all the MC''s are watching your story now. You not alone in this war, you got your friends in anime backing you up. They will always by your side," She hug him with gently, and now he cannot hold his tears
"Heh, you such a crybaby...remember, I always by your side...always..." she said with a smile, and begin to fade away with slowly
"thank...you...Eri! huhuhu"
"Big bro, mom''s calling for...- hey what happen?? why are you crying big bro??" his sister enter the room and shocked when she saw her brother shed tears
"Noa..."
"Yes??"
"I''ve got good friendsafter all" he hugs his sister with crying
"Er... that''s good... I guess. More importantly, come down for your breakfast. This is your first day in high-school, so I don''t want you to go to school with an empty stomach" she said and leaving her brother, who kneeling with touched
"She''s right. This day is my first day in high-school, my first battle. Who would be stupid enough to go to the battlefield with his empty stomach? onward!!" he rises up from kneeling and went downstairs with impulsive feelings
Chapter 8
"10 minutes by walking to the train station from home, including the wait for the train and walk to the school... about 20 minutes huh...?" Aiza mutters himself while looking at his watches
"Ah... I was hoping for Farlan gives me a ride to school. Wait... let''s not going there..." Aiza recall of his ride with Farlan, which causes him paleand ready to puke
"Either way, I took trouble by going to one of the prestige school in this country, and its the next town too... all because of her. I better make my debut or all of this is meaningless" he stands right in front of theschool gate
"But man, this school is sure as beautiful as its rumours. There''s a lot of small tree line up along the street, and the bushes shape being taken care with care by the gardener. And there''s a CCTV as well...Whoa, look at that garden with full of colouring flowers" Aiza being struck with awe by those nature
He is in deep awe with just looking to the surrounding... and it happens that time he glares to his watches
"Oh crap, it''s already 7:55. I have to find the hall. I''m toast!! Today''s the day for all the first-years assemble!" Aiza began to run, heading to the notice board to locate the hall
While he''s running, his eyes catch on someone behind the big trees on the left street. He suddenly stops and walks with quiet, sneaking toward behind the tree. And apparently it''s the students who he thought did something ''unhealthy'' thing. It was that time the lust has best of his mind.
"I know that you guys in that age...and there''s no one here in this street, but they have the nerve to do something unhealthy in this morning...but while I''m here, I should savour this sight with an open heart by recording~" He narrows his eye to see even further with his smartphone''s camera on aim
But what he thinks are completelyopposite. He somehow feels that the girl with bob-cut hair is trying to release herself from that guy''s embrace
"Come on, just a one-round okay?" that guy is trying to kiss her cheeks but she evades it
"I said no! you already have a girlfriend! We are done! so back off! " she said
"But my true feelingsis only for you, I couldn''tcare less about that bitch... I only care about you... so...one round~" he pleads
"No!!". Suddenly his sweet face turns to fierce as he throws that girl on the ground with rough
"Why can''t you understand my desire... I only ask for one round! do you want these photo being upload on the internet?!" he shows to her some photos in his phone
"How can you..."
"Well...let just say your boyfriend sold you to me for cash~" he smiles scornfully
"No way...Heli never do kind of thing... he''s never betraying me, he promised me that-"
"Oh, but he did. Look at this video. He said he had so much ''fun'' with my bitch, you know" he showing a video about her boyfriend having an affair with another girl
"It can''t be..." she feels hopeless when knowing the truth about her boyfriend
"Shout as loud as you want... there''s no one here because the class is about to start. And now that I sold my girl to her, he toodid the same thing... so you''re mine now," he unbuttons his shirt, looking at that girl with lustful eyes. The girl cannot do anything as she feels broken and stuns bythe video
Just he about to unbutton that girl''s shirt, Aiza came out from behind tree making that guy suddenly rise with a rushThis tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Hellothere, senior...?" Aiza try to steel himself by acting bravely
"You, what are you doing here? judging from your tie colour, you''re freshmen"
"Well, I accidentally walk this street and accidentally hear that senpai yelling and accidentally saw you try to ''do'' something indecent to her" his answer gave that guy angry as he glaring with fierce. Aiza walks and stands in front of that girl
"Accidently you say huh!? I can''t let you off right after you saw me like this~" he said as he clenches his fist
"Damn damn damn, its the first time I stood up against people and now I cannot hold my trembling fear in front of him. Calm down me, calm down... I can do this..." Aiza become panic, he put his right hand inside his pocket
"What''s the matter, you look scared? for a first-year, you sure have a big attitude toward your senior. I will tell you, I was the runner-up in high-school nationals boxing...think you stand a chance?" he shows his boxing stance with an act of punching air, and Aiza replied him with silent
"I see, then... as your senior, I welcoming you to this school with a fist!" he charges at him with furious
"You sure want to do it, senior? after what you have said earlier~?"
"What do you mean?" he stopped
"Behold, the voice of truth" Aiza brings out his smartphone and play the video that he recorded earlier
"T-that''s...!"
"Yes... it''s you and your words... oh don''t forget your action too..."
"You brat!! give me that!!" he desperately reaches his hand but being kick into the stomach by Aiza causing him thrown back a bit.
It was just a reflect muscle that triggering Aiza to kick him... but the truth is...Aiza doesn''t even plan to
But then, he just goes with the flow... and act mighty as he can safely assure that this situation has slowly moved into his palm. He thought that if he falters... then the plan to rescue the girl will be vain..
"After you telling me about your achievement, I can sure that you must be the jewel of the school, and also popular. Think about it, you, the runner-up of district boxing high-school, doing something like this toward an innocent girl...wew, your life going end for sure..."
" Geh! wimpy kick! Oh, I see you try to defend that bitch. but don''t forget, I too have all of her photos. and it''s been kept safe inside my phone and her boyfriend. Unlike you that just have one copy, if I beat you to a pulp and snatch that phone of yours, then delete it. No one knows~ If you want to protect that girl from being humiliated on the Internet, hand over your phone!" that girl is silent from denying the truth
Aiza only smirk by hearing that
"What''s with that smile?!"
"you''re wrong about one thing, senior. I have not only one copy, but plenty...see, already sent to my another smartphone... and that is at my home" He shows to him that all the file of that video has been sent
"You...!"
"You said that you keep all the photos of her on your smartphone. That''s mean you''re not saving it to another place. am I right? Talk about an idiot"
"I too will do the same...grrr...what...curse it, my internet has ended!!"
Aiza slowly release his breath, and grateful for his undeniable luck for today
"It''s all futile, senior. Just give me your phone already..."
"Silence! I''m not done yet--"
"Hear me. Compare to her... your reputation is the one in risk here. You just mentioned it earlier that you''re the runner-up in boxing. With that alone... your name is popular among the school and maybe even the neighbourhood too. Imagine when the prep, police or even your family found out~ I can say with sure that your life is ''game over''~"
After hearing Aiza''s reasonable point... he began to look devastated as he kneels at the ground...
He doesn''t have any choice but to admit his defeated and throw his phone to Aiza.With haste... Aiza began to open his smartphone, searching the SD card
"please don''t send it to school or the internet... I begging you"
"Hmm, doesn''t seem you have an sd card, hey what''s the password?"
"It''s 54773"
"Okay then... let''s explore~"
"Please... no..."
"Hmm...oh this one, and this too. Wow, you really are scum for all women. Your gallery has nothing but a porn video and some vulgar pictures. Delete...there... all done"
"You''re done, right? Can you give me back my phone"
"Oh, wait a sec" he open again that phone and change the password then turn it intoa silent mode. And then make it into shut down mode.
"what are you doing...?"
"here we go... one, two... DETROIT SMASH!" he throwing away that phone with his full strength
"My phone!"
"Now here''s the deal senior. Leave this girl alone for the rest of your life or I will send your video without hesitating. And tell to her boyfriend as well if you don''t want any trouble. Now get off of my sight!"
"You will regret this, first-year brat!!" he ran away while cursing him
"Okay, senior, are you al- eh..where did she vanish?" she''s already gone by the time Aiza turns his face
"Oh, well. I thought that I may gain some romance affection, just like in anime...even so...that''s was terrifying! In my life, I have never been so confident like that when talking to people...haa..." he legs become boneless as he sits on the ground with pale looking
"what times is it... 8:05?! damn! I late for the assembly!!"
Chapter 9
"Ah... it''s over..! thank goodness that the assembly was put to hold until 8:15 because the principle''s car was having a trouble when he''s on his way" Aiza release sigh while walking
"Aiza~!" a voice greets him from behind
"Oh, hey Eva..." he replied
"heading to the class?" she asks
"No...I don''t know my class yet, so I''m going to the notice board in the next building"
"Oh, same as me. I follow you then"
"O-okay"
They talk to each other as they walk through the walkway that connects to the other buildings.Once they arrive, there''s a lot of students who gang on that notice board
"Hey, Eva...the same job?" Aiza smiling
"Well...err...huh...yes...please" Eva huffed
"hahaha, okay then...wait here" Aiza walking through that crowd with struggling. And just that, he''s already at in front of that board
"Now let see, Aiza... Aiza... there! I knew it... class 1-4. Those math and science question is in beyond of human comprehend! Oh well...now, where is Eva''s name.... geh... 1-2?! I don''t know that she was that smart, even though I was teaching her a bit back then"
Then Aiza make himself out from that crowd and walk to Eva, she sitting on the bench that placed beside the wall
"Eva, you got 1-2 class"
"Really? yay! then how about you?" she so happy when she heard that she will be placed in the second class of this prestige school. And she is eager to know Aiza class as well, hoping that he is same with her.
"1-4"
"O-oh" she suddenly feels down when she heard that Aiza was not in her class
"Well, it''s nothing. Besides, I will study hard and next year... I definitely will catch on you so be prepared" Aiza gives a peace sign with a bright smile, enough to makes her smiling tooEnjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.
"Rule of conquering#1: Enough experience of losing once, twice is forbidden. I''ve been defeated by theentrance exam, but next time, I will not allow such that failure happens again!" he clenches his teeth
"Hey~ Eva~" a girl with a small ribbon on left side of her brown hair, comes with running and waving toward Aiza and Eva
"Ah, Wendy" she replied with excited look
"Hmm...her friend? from middle-school I guess"
"There you are~! I''ve been looking for you. I notice you from that assembly and once it ends I came to meet you, but you disappear with sudden" She catch a breath from that running
"I''m sorry, I was wandering around and went to this building"
"alone?"
"No...with him" she pointing her finger at Aiza, who standing like a pole beside her
"Oh...what!? You''re coming here, young lady" she dragging Eva far from Aiza and whispering to her with excited
"I don''t know a pure girl like you would be so aggressive when it comes to love"
"W-what do you mean?"
"You ditched me to meet him huh...?"
"N-no, it''s not like that!"
"But I must say, you have a good taste. He''s good looking with a well-built body. And look at his hair, he styling with perfect. A model with a fighter-built body... I''m rooting for you~" she smiling
"I said it''s not like that!" Her face looking red
Aiza is clueless when he looking at those girls. The other girl is teasing and laughing at her partner and while the other one is keeping denying with a red face. Aiza look at his watches and he walks toward them
"I somehow feel that Eva has an affection towards me or it just my imagination. I''ll confirm it later but first, let''s go meet her friend, for me to get used to talking with other girls!"
"Um...hey" Aiza wearing an awkward smile
"Oh, hey" that Wendy girl replied with smile on him, with hugging that little girl
"I''m Aiza Melin, just calling me Aiza"
"I''m Wendy West, call me Wendy. I''m herbest friend from middle-school. Nice to meet you" Aiza only smiling as he doesn''t know how to length up their conversation
"Nice to meet you too, Umm Eva, I get going to class, see you later" Aiza bid a farewell to her as he walks away by going upstairs. They waving with a small gesture to him
"Crap, I still don''t have much topics to say to her. This is really challenging for a lonely otaku like me. But well, they always said... practice makes perfect. First, I will conquer my class to gain some information about these normies lifestyles"
On the second floor, on the right side with a 40 step from the stairs. the 1-4 class is located in the middle ofother class as he standing in front of it with a surge of anxiety
"This... is my classroom for my high-school as a first year. Damn, I feel nervous now. I took this school with a high chance of probability that my acquaintance from middle-school will not attend it except Lysa. Don''t worry, be confident, me! the first impression is really important" He tries to forget about his dark ages from middle-school, which is from the start he enrolls that school, he''s already been given a nickname piggy, just about he introduced himself.
"You''re now is different than you used to be. Hmm...haaa..... Okay...let''s go!!" he open the door with a strong look in his eyes
Chapter 10
Once he opens the door, there are students that already sit in their place. There is also a student that study on their own, and not to mention the other''s doing their own business like chatting, playing with smartphone and etc.
Aiza eye''s become wildly, searching for his sit, and he found one...on the left side next to a window. He walks with fast and secure his place by sitting and drop his beg on his desk
"Good, I manage to secure my stronghold without a problem," he put his face on the desk.
"hehehe, usually in anime, the Mc place is always near the window... and I succeed to secure one too" he grins with a satisfied look
"Okay, now for the scout, let see what kind of my classmates is~" he raises his head slowly to take a peek
He glaring to those of his classmates and watching their acts toward each other. Once he finishes, he''s back to his position earlier...lay down his face on the desk and his hand hug firmly his head...acts as a wall
Hmm, from my view... it looks like most of them has known each other, look at those casual chat... I bet their being friend since from the middle-school
In my studies (watching and reading anime and manga with intense), once the Mc arrive at their sit, space out while watching the view outside from the window, and not long after, it''ll be sure that a destine people who will greet him first and they became friends before you know it, enjoying their youth by spending time together in arcade or doing something foolish like sharing some porn magazine. And if the Mc has fallen head over heels to someone he likes...this entity will provide support with all he can that Mc can''t even imagine....the point is...theirhigh-school life will begin to color once they have a friend that they can count on
"But I can''t expect the same treatment will be given to me. Think about it, do you think that you, a stranger without any acquaintance here, will receive the first greet by someone that you don''t even know? what are you?? prince charming?? even in Eva case, I was the one who greets her but in special case though. So, I must do the same things as I do to her once... but how...? It feels awkward to walk in front of them and say," hey I''m Aiza, I want to be your friend, can I?~" ughh, cringe to level god I must say" he muttering while scratching his headThe tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of the chair that is pulled out beside him. Then his eyes try to scanning to his neighbor," someone has sat beside me. Oh yeah, I almost not noticed it that there a few empty sit in my row, Skirt?? my neighbor is a girl?? let see her face, shall we?" he stretches his neck
A girl wearing a glasses, with a bob-cut hair sit at the right-side from Aiza, brings out her books from her bag and read with silent and focus
Woah, she has a pale skin. But it seems like she is busy with her books, and those books are thick! is she reading a dictionary or what?! well, put that aside, if she''s that close, then I have no problem, first, I solely ask on what''s she doing right now...right, here we go...!
"Umm, what are you doing??" Aiza asks with smile, but that girl replied with silent
"Umm, hello? what are you..."
"Can''t you see, I''m reading a book. Are you blind or idiot?" that girl gives a killing vibes as she continues to read once she shunned him
M-my greets has backfired me!! I''m such a fool, what am I asking like that!! of course she''s reading a book!!
"I-I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to asked like that..." he bow his head with sense of foolishness
"It''s alright" she replied his words, but her eyes do not avert from looking to the content of book
"I-in truth, I-I want to know y-your name..." Aiza becomes red as he blushing a bit
"And why do I have to give my name to you?"
"W-well, it feels uncomfortable when you don''t know a person name that sits beside you until next year"
"Hmm, I guess you''re right" she closes her book and put with care on her desk
"My name is Vid, Vidre Mars"
"Ah, my name is Aiza Melin, you can call me Aiza if you want" Aiza replied with happy
"Okay, so anything else? if not, I want to continue reading" her hand begin to grab that book earlier
C-crap, it will be the same with this morning if I don''t do something! think Aiza, thinking on how to length up your conversation with her. Hmm, that title on that books... Goblin slayer....isn''t that a fantasy genre?
"D-do you happen to like fantasy?"
"Hmm, and what makes you said that?" her hand suddenly stop moving from grabbing that book
"that title on your book is explained everything. Do you like them? I happen to like that genre too. It makes you feel like you living in there, right?? how I want to say....like giving a fantasy vibe or something" he explained with excitement. He happens to be a hardcore RPG gamer, especially when involved with a fantasy.
But that girl staring at him with silent for a moment, makes Aiza suddenly stop talking.
C-crap, I carried away with this fantasy things, as I forgot Eri''s warning! it''s over for me, I''m done!...game over....
"Y-you also like that genre. Me too!! everything you said is true... ah, those vibes really makes me want to live in there. The field plain that filled with a green grass, vast around the sky reacher mountain. The leaves flying in mid-air cause by the blow of wind with a river flows on his route. and-" now she''s the one who explained it with a sparkling eyes
I survived, right?
Chapter 11
"And you know? there''s a... "She continues talking with enthusiastic, as Aiza just only smile and lower his head a little
I''ve done it!! I manage to talk with a female classmate without being referredas a schmuck by her, in addition... she also a fellowfantasyfan too!
This is a big step for me. A big step!! Having a lot of friends among my classmate, especially girls... is about to decideon which of us, the guy in this classroom is standingon the top as the popular guy! and that''s why it so important to have girls on your back as you will be automatically being crowned as the popular guy.
I have my own reason for why I desperate to have a female companion as a friend. You see, After you stand on the top in the class, you will receive some news and hot gossip from your classmate, especially girls since this is their speciality, and its all about the movement of the students in this school, or I called it the air news. With this, I am able to get some information about the rumours that were spread around the school. Whetherabout love, the popular student, or anything... as long as I get this seat, without a doubt... the coloured of high school life will dance in my palm.
And as I monologue by myself, I''ve gained some attraction from the other classmate... of course I''m aware of it not long ago
"look, Vid is actually smiling. The silent-beauty has finally broken her shell. Who is that guy?" the other girl''s start whispering to her friends
"Hmm, don''t know. But what I do know is, that guy kinda looks hot to me, right?"
"Yeah... now that you have mentioned it, our guy''s face looks plain compared to him, hahaha"
"I know right? hahaha" those girls continue muttering, causing all the guys staring at Aiza with intense
As for the male students
"Wow... I never thought that I can see Vid smiling here"Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"Damn it, and here I thought that I''ll be the first to make her smile like that! who is that guy?" said the fat guy with clenching his fist
"I can say for sure that he''s not from our middle-school since ours have connected with this school like a sibling. I haven''t seen his face before"
"Who cares?! no one can touch myVid!"
"You''re the one who asked earlier~ and I never know you hold so much feeling for her"
"Shut up, I''ll make sure that he''s gonna pay for trying to take a forbidden fruit in this class!"
"Err, he''s just chatting with her... not taking her into custody"
"shut your mouth.."
Since the girls keep whispering among them, and the guys keep shooting theiranger toward me, I can fully grasp that Vid is their acquaintance from their previous school... and the popular type too, in her own way. So I think that I may hit the jackpot in this class. But seen in that guy face, who constantlyglaring at me with release some aura of killing intent, I''m sure that he likes Vid. And I''m not a dense protagonist so don''t lump me with those the dense type, MC''s!
I rather climb to the top without making enemies within the class, but I guess that sort of wish will not be granted if I walk in this path. And I''m not a brave one too if I have to confront them. Even from this morning when I saved senpai from being assaulted, that was a lucky punch for my bravery has full control over my body, and I don''t expect the same things happen twice.
Well, I''ll leave that when that time comes. For now, my plan has a good sign mark. I originally want to target on the plains type, slowly to build my foundation but after getting this Vid girl, my plan has jumped up like the skyrocket.
Why I''m saying that? I can see every person in this class has turned their sight toward us. Even for a moment, I can tell that Vid is the type person who likes to be alone, a quiet person, make her business alone, the lone wolf... a popular lonely girl. So that would be a huge surprise for them if she suddenly laughs with a bright smile on her face... that would be out of the character for her.
When that happens, after finish the classroom... there must be someone who approaching me, asking on what topic did you chat with her, and mostly it will be her acquaintance. So I''ll wait that time and try to make a friend with them too.
"Aiza, do you on daydreaming when I''m talking to you?" She asks
"Eh, no. I''m just thinking how bright your smile when you talking about something you like" that answer makes her shy and turn her face to the opposite
Nailed it!
Rule of conquering #2: Know your enemy and the battle will beyours
To be honest, I''m not optimistic, or pessimistic. I also not in full of steadfast or calm type. I''m both when the time comes. But one thing I can say about myself is, I''m the type of person who is not doing the job with half-done, and that''s my ninja way! heck yeah!
Now, with the stage has been made, let''s wait for the chances rolling with fast toward me
Chapter 12
RING!! [ bell''s ringing]
Phew, finally it''s break time! Argh... my back hurts~Never thought that my first day of high school and we''ve been given a lot of homework right off the bat. Is this how the school among the elites has been doing to live up its name? I tell you, three pages of math, each page contain 6-15 question unsolved, not to mention from the back page too, it''s like twice the number when you put it together. But since it just referred from the middle school topics, I won''t complain much but...
Those guys have a dead face on them... well, I can solve it by myself, so good luck you guys~
Oh, the break time is 45 minutes long. So I have a plenty of time to wander around the school. Great, with this, I commence for searching the green zone with haste! All anime MC''s have their green zone spot, so I must have it too
But, that plan might put to hold for a moment because I have something more important to deal with...
Yes... I''ll receive a quite of number application friend request in time, so I waiting for ~ fufufu
"Hey, Aiza. Why are you still spacing out? all our classmates have gone to the cafeteria. You might want to grab something to fill your stomach or you''ll suffer later" Vid said and she left the class
Huh?
Huh!?
They already left! without my noticing! how is it possible? has my awarenessof my surrounding already become dull?
Somehow those dark memories of my past have stricken me back again. Dammit, I guess a loner will always be a loner.
*Slap* I slap my face
Get rid of those thinking! aren''t you said that you will change your life in high school completely? so bear with it for a while and rearrange your plan again. The chance will come as long you endure with a high patience of yours
Good, my mindset has back to his road. Okay, let''s devise a new plan after we grab a lunch.
After I close the door, I went downstairs and heard something noise from down there, and I fasten my leg, with a surprise, a lot of first-year students has crowded the shoe locker''s place.
What''s the deal with this? aren''t they already go the cafeteria? I know that the cafeteria is in the next building, but what''s stopping them?
"First years! we''re from the handicraft club. You might need this before going out from this building! Take it, it''s on us" a girl with a pony-tail hair yell with handing each first year with something
Hmm, the red tie... it''s the second year and all six of them. Why is the second year doing here in the first year building? crafting club? and what... is that an eco bag? Why are they giving us? better look closely
I went to one of them with a question on my face
"Hmm? seem you don''t receive it yet. Wait a bit... here you go" that guy giving me the eco bag, just like the others
"Umm, can I ask, for what you senpai give us these eco bags?"
"Hahaha, you will understand when you set foot on outside," he said with a smile
Since the door of this building is a black tinted window, I cannot guess what happens on outside. But the thing that I noticed is, I can hear a rowdy noise from there. Without question more, I change my shoes and went to the door, and open it.
What the?
What''s happening here?!
I can see many booth lines up across the walkway, right about in front of our first-year building. Not to mention, there are many second and the third years coming here too. Each of the booth giving their flyers also handed a sample of food and more.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.
Now I understand for those noises came from. Today is for the club to hunt some first year to join them, and I say, it''s really lively as there''s a festival doing here.
As I walking in the middle of those booths, they forced me by giving their flyer to me. The further I walk, the eco bags will become slightly heavier as it filled with flyers, foods sample and some small gift. I''m glad that the handicraft club giving us these eco bags, it''s really convenient... how thoughtful of them.
Even with training, I have a hard time to breathefrom this crowded place and my throat become dry and itchy for that
Let''s go somewhere to read these flyers and eat these sample. Recall from my memories by looking the map on the notice board, I think I notice the place called green garden so lets headed there.
It''s a good thing that the garden place is not far from the first year building, my throat cannot hold any much longer for it thirst. I headed to an empty bench and sit with over relaxing.
"Ughh, what a good bench" I release a heavy breathe and drink one of the juices from the booth that been given to me. The juice''s taste really good! it flows down from my throat with ease. And this is from the molecular gastronomy club. They really did a good job! I might be joining them.
But let''s see the other flyers too, it might pick my interest after that. Alright then, hmm... sewing club... baseball club. Sports type ha? oh yeah, by joining the sports club, you''ll receive popular with fast than you know because let say you win streak from your match, without doubt, the news about your wining will be spread to the entire school. And the crown will be given to you judging from your performance.
But this path is double edge sword. True, you may become popular with fast, but the time will be questioned here. You will have to spend your precious day with train hard all time for club goals and discard your high school life which that hang around with your friends and girlfriend. What I really want is to have my name on the ranks and able to cause an event with friends and chicks.
Okay, I bookmark this first and search for the better club for my own benefits. Cooking club-
"Hey"
Hmm? I heard someone say it from my left side. Maybe it''s for her friends. I''m too tired to turn my face. Ignore it
"Hey?"
Now that''s weird, The voice becomes louder and closer. Just who is-
"Hey, first-year hero"
"H-hey"
She''s from this morning. The victim senpai!
"Can''t you hear that I''m calling you? how rude to ignore me"
"Sorry, but did you called my name? I couldn''t remember of giving my name to you"
"Oh, I''m just shouted to you with ''hey''. The wrong approachI see"
"So then, what''s your business with me, senpai?"
"Wait a minute, let me wipe out these sweat first" she brings out a pink handkerchief and rub with soft to her neck
From a closer look, she is indeed beautiful. And looks like her bob-cut hair has a small ponytail there. Aiza has taken -8 damages...
And now that I look closely... she''s the second year.... the red tie
"How long do you want to keep staring at me?"
"Ah, no, it''s nothing. I just notice that you don''t have that small ponytail from this morning"
"Hmm? oh, this? this is what I regularly do with my hair. It''s my hairstyles. Do you find it ugly?"
"N-no, its cute"
"Thanks, I find it cute too," she said it with emotionless
"Ha..."
Self-proclaimed huh. Well whatever, it''s not like there''s a rule to punish a person for being a conceit. That''s way too cruel, even for this age of freedom.
"Anyway, I want to thank you for your bravery acts to save me this morning. If is not for you, my life would turn like hell" she bows her head which is I can see her body shape clearly
"It''s okay, senpai. Anyone would do the same if they were in my shoes"
"Not everyone. You see, that guy was the best boxer in this school. With his wild nature, its natural for those who dislike being violent by him would spare their neck and nose from him. Even from this morning, they turn their tail and walk away from that place"
"And the teacher? do you already complain to them?"
"No use, since he''s not a muscle brain, he cleverly does his job from blind spot of CCTV... so there''s no evidence of his violent acts being recorded"
That''s mean, my effort was not in vain. Since I cast away this evil guy and save her, she might tell everyone about my deed, thus I''llbe regarded as a hero, a hero in shining armour. Can''t wait for that happen
"Also, I want you to keep silent about this. I''d be ashamed if this news spread around my friends, so please"
"Ah, of course!"
Well, of course, that''s the right thing to do, to keep it secret. It can''t be helped. It''s about her dignity being stake here.
"I understand your situation perfectly. Don''t worry, your secret will bury with me alone, I promise you that"
I know how it feels when you being ashamed and humiliates by those jerks, especially in front of many people, your tales will go on along your number increased. I don''t want you to walk the same path as I am
But, to be honest, since I saved her... I expect like romance scene created here, like " can you tell me your name and numbers" or so. But that''s too early for the event to start, so let''s take it slowly.
"And...this may be a selfish request from me..."
Judging hertone probably she wants to treat me with something in the cafeteria. Whatever... they always said, no matter who is your enemy or allies, money is still money... gonna take it with pride. And that rulesapply to the food and drinks too
"Can you become my boyfriend?"
Yeah, that too...
..........
What?
Chapter 13
Damn... I can''t forget those words. Is she serious about it? we only just met and you suddenly said that without hesitation?
Thanks to her, my heart was beating hard, even for now. Who wouldn''t..? a virgin like myself have never held a long conversation with a girl... so... being confessed is out of the question.
I lay down on my bed and stare at the ceiling with a mixing feeling
What should I do? accept it? or turn it down? I don''t know what is the right decision to make. If I recall, sure... I save her from being forced to ''play'' with that boxing guy, and I expect for a scene like this will be triggered... but never expected that I can''t manage myself like this.
hmm... I feel some small vibrate on my left side. Is it a notification for a new episode of the anime that I bookmarked? if so, then you come at the right time! I feel like to distract myself from this uneasy feeling
I grab my phone and unlock the pin... a message icon?
"Aiza, sorry for disturbing you at this night. How was your classroom? have you made any friends yet?"
Somehow those words like a dagger with a sudden throw, piercing through my chest with full of strength... really critical hit. But if I rewind back... I do talk to Vid and with a long conversation too, although almost Vidis the mostdo the talking, even I was not sure if this expectation of mine turns to be one-sided, whethershe already becomes my friend or not
"Well, I do but only one, and that''s my neighbour near my seat"
"Hmm... let me guess. Its a girl, am I right?"
Wha...!? how did she know? is she stalking me? wait... she did say guess. Let''s not jump to a conclusion here
"How did you know?"
.............................
Well, that takes a while for her to reply.
As I rolling on my bed, I hear a footstep from the stairs. Looks like it headed toward this room
"Big bro, are you sleeping?" Noa said while knocking the door
"No, what''s up?"
"Mom''s telling you to come down for dinner"
"Tell her I''llbe right there in minutes"
"You better hurry, because you should know better,that when she snapped, nothing can stop her" her voice sounds less heard when she went downstairs, but I catch it perfectly
Those words enough send me a chill...
What she said is true. I wouldn''t want to deal with her when she in her berserk mode, especially when a ladle in her hand, only god know how terror that is. Even that was too much for a delinquent like Farlan to handle it.
I do remember, that day, Farlan was beaten up by mom when she heard that he commit another crime in school and that is fighting. I also heard from dad, mom once a delinquent leader in her school, so for a strengthlike that being display in front of him was nothing newStolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Ops, enough for that... I better hurry before my name will be registered in the listof a punching bag. I''ll reply her message after I done eating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for that confession, I can''t sleep at all. And Eva is not replying my message since after I finish my dinner. Urghh, my eyelid is so heavy for me to open it
This is bad, I can''t tell where I going as I''m not inside the school yet. I''m just let my legs decide for the journey. If I bump into someone, that would be a trouble... come on... open it dammit!
Bump!
My shoulder being engages with some people and is kinda hard too as I feel this guy shoulder was quite sturdy. As I sit on the ground, finally my eyelid can open it curtain and as the shine was strong, I unable to see it clearly
"Watch where you going, first-year!" that guy yell at me
I brush my eyes and stared at him. He was the second year. He''s as tall as I am and has a blue-black hair.
"I''m sorry, senpai. My head was feeling dizzy so I cant walk normally" I rise from sitting
"I don''t care! the serious problem is this! how you''ll deal with this!" he shows his uniform jacket, being spilt with his strawberry juice
Damn, I screwed
"Well, how?!"
"Err, I''m sor-"
"Your sorry don''t solve this matter" suddenly we began to attract some other student who walking nearby, and seems like they only watch from a side road rather than helping me
And before I know it, there are five other students who stand behind him, two of them are the female
Suddenly, one of the girls whispering at him with some nasty eyes. Its remind me of those days when those eyes show something bad will happen to me next.
"Okay... since you''re still a freshman, I''ll give you another chance... and that is... pay me"
"40,000!" that girl suddenly speak and laughed hard
"40,000!? I don''t have such amount in my wallet"
"Sure you do. After all, this is a prestige school with full of rich and talented kid. I too a rich kid but, since I forgot to bring my wallet today, so you''ll do"
This leech! how come this guy can enter this school? have they never been caught red-handed?? think Aiza... think! how you will escape from this thugs.
Ah... thanks for that bumping with him, my mind was been refreshed back and all the sleepy that hanging around my eyelid has disappeared. And I feel like my adrenaline has ready to enter the ''mode''. I put myweight and strength on my left leg, ready to unleash the explosion anytime when the right time calls.
I''ve no choice. This is my second day and I don''t want to ruin my reputation as a wimpy kid or starting the fame as the delinquent.
"Well? why you keeping your mouth shut huh?! she ask for a 40,000, so bring it out"
Seem like they do not aware my intention as I move my left leg to the front, a bit wider than before. And there''s a gap between those guys standing, let''s make use this body to the extreme with aiming there. If I run to the side, their hand most likely will be able to grab me with an instant.
Judging our gap from a standing point, I can make them stunned for a second!
"Hey, did you not hear-"
"Sorry, senpai"
I pump my left leg onto the ground as a spring, then release the strength as I dash between them. I able to catch their expression which is shocked and stunned. As soon as I passed them, I running without turn my face to them
But I do glare a bit to check on them, and as expected, they tried to catch me up... but how should I say... it''s like a marathon when you already in lead despite the gun has not released theshot to start the game, and it''s acceptable for the judge and the world... for now
After I enter the school, I still running which makes me feel like being watched by the students. It so embarrassed but I need to ignore this feeling and try to overrun them. Then, I make a detour and blindly enter the unfamiliar building which I neverbeen in.
Huff...huff...haa... this feels kinda tired than my usual training. I come to understand now that running with feared was much more exhaust than a normal running. My skin has detected some cooling breeze...ah, this building has an air conditioner, no wonder. Let''s rest here, I bet they''re not thinking of searching me in here since this is an office building. I can see the teachers walking with their document on their hands.
Thanks to this building, my thirst has been erased by this refreshing and chilling air. But my leg and hand can''t stop trembling, I guess I''m too scared to fight since I have no experience in fighting at all. I stooping as I gaze the floor with my sweat dropping to the ground.
"H-hey, are you okay?" hmm, I heard a girl voice greeting me
"Y-yeah, somehow" I lift my head to watch this person
C-crap...
This girl is...
"I''m Lysa, from the student council. May I help you?"
Bad news
Chapter 14
This is bad. Bad-bad-bad-bad... BAD! the demon is here! what is she doing here?
I cover my face fast with my arm, to ensure that she will not recognize this face. Why do I have to encounter her in such of time!?
"What''s wrong? why are you suddenly hide your face?"
It''s nothing, go away... go away...!you witch! you''re the final boss that I have to defeat. So I''m not ready to confront you yet since I''m not fully ready
This is scary! this day is a bad day! how can I have a two consecutive bad luck in one day? it doesn''t make sense! even more... why it has to be her? the evil witch that ruin my pride as a man.
"Hello" her voice near my ears
"N-nothing..."
"What''s wrong?" now I heard some other voice, and this time a guy
Ouch. My wrist being grip by his hand, and force to uncover my face by his brute strength.
No... I can''t back down! I put all my energy left to support my arm to deny his strength
"Ho...he''s sure are strong one"
"Enough, Paul. Step back... you''re hurting him!" with that, those grips were no longer harming me
Did she say, Paul? the guy who always blackmailed me in the junior? we talk the same Paul here?
"I''m sorry, he doesn''t mean bad"
"It''s okay...leave me alone..."
"I wish I could, but for a glance, I saw your pale face before your hiding them. Do you feel sick?"
I only answer her with silent. I forgot, she''s the ace of the archery club in middle school. Her sharp eyes were enough to brag about it.
"Hey, answer her question. Did your mom fool enough to forget putting an ear to your head while giving birth to you?"
"Paul, that''s-"
"Look, he''s even not moving an inch, even after I badmouthing his mother. Lysa, ditch this guy and let''s go already. He''s coward, not worth for your time"
Coward? if not because of the CCTV that behind you, I already rip your face... or so I would like to say. I don''t have the ability to make it happen...Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
"You can go first, I''ll stay with him. It''s my duty as the student council"
"Tch" I heard his strong footstep walk away
"You''re a troublesome guy, you know. All I ask is do you feeling well? because I noticed of your pale face. I''ll not convince if you only respond it with your word"
"so, all you need is to see my face?"
"That''s right, is that a hard task?"
It is a hard task, especially for a former prey like myself. But eventually, I''ve to give up. This girl doesn''t know a phrase of "suit yourself". She will keep meddling other people business that caught her interest until she satisfied, for example... right now.
I moving aside my arm with cautious. I close my eyes to prevent myself from seeing the ugly truth that will discover in any second. But I''ve already changed, am I? both physical and looks. I mean, right now, I''m different than Aiza from the past... so I quite sure 40% she will not recognise me. But the big problem is... this silver hair of mine.
Now that my arm was no longer be my ''holy wall'', my face is shown to her. Damn... why is she silent? say something!
"Ho... you sure have a good, refresh looking face"
Refresh looking? does that mean that she''s not able to-
Pa...
What''s it now? I feel like a person''s palm suddenly land on my forehead. Is it her? it''s warm and soft...
"Hmm, no sign of fever... okay confirmed"
I open my eyes slowly. The strong brightness has struck my eyes as it accustoms to the darkness not while ago, so I have to narrow the eyelid to adjust the proper image.
Even the image is still blurry, but that image of her is still burning in my mind
This face that I idolise since from the junior is already in front of me, staring at me while her hand is not moving away from my forehead. This never happened to me back then. As my eyeis perfectly suited for the brightness, without I noticed... our eyes meet. It feels like everything around us has stopped, and its only for us
She rises up from squat and brushing away her long dark purple-grey hair. She always doing that whether she feels satisfied or accomplished. As a former of her fan, I do know quite many of her traits and habits... thanks to my high skill of observation. One may call me a stalker but I have a various strong reason for doing that.... so come at me, lawyer!
"Can you get up?" her hand has stretch for me
I was surprised by that. Not only she lends a hand... but throwing a smile at me...? none of this happens when we in the junior
If the former of me is being given a chance like this... if she weretreated me nicely like this back then... then I would not despise her to the core like right now. I guess it''s true... people always judge by the appearance. She wouldn''t be helping me if I''m a fat, hideous looking here.
I decline her warm hand by ignoring her and getting up by myself.
"It''s okay" I hang my bag on the shoulder
"You seem like in a bad mood. Did Ido anything that unpleasant you just now? ah, if it''s about touching your forehead without your permission, then I''m sorry for it. I have no choice..."
"Really, it''s fine. You''re just doing your job as the student council, and I thank you for your concern. The classroom is about to start so, I''ve to take my leave now"
"But your face does not show any kind of grateful, more like rage that being suppress greatly under a calm face of yours" You could tell? as expected for a former captain of the archery club
It''s true, in the past... my feelings for you were nothing than love, respect and care. But those were gone right after that incident. So you reap what you sow. I''ll make sure you will suffer greatly for what you''ve done.
"You just think hard of it. There''s no way that I get mad just because you touch my forehead. Now, I should get going, the class is about to start... you too" I walk away and headed to the exit.
"Ah, if that so... then I''m going with you"
This girl.... really annoys me!
Chapter 15
It''s been three days and I already went through some unexpected situations from then. It all starts after getting involved with that ''victim'' senpai''s confession. The next day, I encounter some leeches and the demon queen. It''s quite a tight situation but luckily I survived.
Maybe she brings bad omen and to activate it, by confessing to their target, and that target right now... is me. If its true, then that might be freaky. But I don''t have a right to think of her like that.
Geh, looks like my mind has become one with the witch occult''s accuse from the movie last night. But as I said before, it''s not her fault... thinking with deep... more like I blaming the cliche of the romcom god present it, you really not nice, god kun!
Because of that, I''ve been behind schedule from my original plan. Since the open ceremony, all I did was encounter some girls with a few chatting and I''ve not made any progress since then!
Now, let''s restart from the beginning. While I glaring at those my classmates... I noticed that almost all guys have formed a pack. This is bad...
Now the class has taken its turn to shape, the ranking system will surely establish in this class, after this week. The sign has appeared as I can see four guys with a plain looking... sit on their chair lonely, without interact with other packs. If I late just another one day... I might have a serious problem
One of them is the fat guy with glasses, He''s kinda big and a really plain looking. You can find a guy like him on the old anime with a tag of a harem... and of course, his role is just a supporting character. Looking at this guy remind me of my old self, and it makes me shiver with fear.
A sound of a door open has brought me back to the reality. All the boys and girls went out with their PE clothes. Ah, that''s right! I still have that option. The PE class!
..................................................
After I change to PE clothe, I went to the field. As expected, on the way there... those guys are already walking with a group. Really an eyesore for a lone wolf like me but it will end now.
As we stop at the side of the field, there are two teachers that already waiting for us. A tall, muscular guy wearing a tracksuit with buzz cut hair. As for the other one, a young woman with average height and petite face... has a curvaceous body with her ponytail passes and slung it over her left shoulder.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
That woman''s figure really is my strike zone!
"Good morning. I''m your teacher in PE class, Mr Gil. And this young teacher beside me is Miss Rul, also a PE teacher but will handle the girls. She''s still new here, so be nice to her"
"Nice to meet you, Mr Gil and Miss Rul" all of us bow to them with respect.
"Right, now that we know each other... let''s get straight to the business. In this school, we still have the same physical fitness test just like other schools, except this one... called Battle Game! you will find it at your school schedule"
I can see clearly as his face shows a full of enjoyment... but he''s right. I also find it hard to think that what is the Battle game anyway?
"Teacher, what is the Battle Game?" one of the students ask
"Glad you asked! Battle Game is just like other major events... like sports festival, cultural festival and more. But unlike the others, this Battle Sport only one per month"
"In this Battle Game, you will have to fight with the other class. The theme will be picked randomly by each party for a fair game. But mark this, as the name is Battle Game... it will not focusing on the top sports like soccer, basketball or everything... but it also involves any game, like chess, cooking, paintball or even a new game that the principal created"
"But what do we gain by entering that BG?"
"BG huh? you teenagers sure like to short everything. But oh well, if you manage to win the BG, you will gain something unpredictable gift" he said with a smile
"Unpredictable gift??" all the classmates keep murmuring with a question
"And its known as the silver card. This card will give you an easy life~ For example, with this card, you can have anything on the menu board from the cafeteria without bringing out your wallet for a month. Not to mention the vending machine and the bookstore too. Plus, this school will also give you the allowance, how about that? feel pumped now~?"
All the student suddenly become more excited by that. Yeah, why wouldn''t them? you can have a food or drink for free for a month, and you also received the allowance too. In other words, you''ve been forbidden to using your money within the school for a month after receiving that silver card!
"I''m glad that I entering this school!" one of the student shout
"Well, I knew you might say that. But I must tell you, that this card is much far cry from the golden card, and its bestowed only the ten students with excellent grades for each year, which mean ten students from the first year, second and third year"
"A-and what that card can give us?"
"Hmm, unlike the silver card that monopolizesonly within the school, the golden card is much superior to that. It can both access in school and outside the school. Not only that, you also can go shopping, watching the movie, and even using the public transportation. As long as they have the place for a card to access, you can eat, go and buy anything"
And now, all of us were shock by that. No wonder that they call this school is an elite and prestige school. They have a method to raise the student''s morale to strive an excellent reputation and future. Even I can see their intentions as clear as a day.
Even so, these cards have pulled my interest. I have to get my hand on these!
Chapter 16
As everyone pumped up for the upcoming Battle Game or BG, Mr Gil has instructed us to build some teamwork within us. We''ve been told that Mr Gil once a student in this school, so his experience in participating in BG really reassuring us... at least we know how to run rather than walk or crawl.
And for that, we''re playing a soccer today and for the girls, they do the running 100 meters. I''ve to agree. Playing soccer is one of the common sport that one winning will be decided whether your teamwork is solid or not.
But after hearing that BG is not only focusing on some big sport like this, it keeps me wondering... did teamwork really is the essence of winning in BG? our slot for PE is twice per week. And we have two more weeks before the BG starts.
One slot is around one hour, which means that we only have 4 hours including now to train together. If we continue after school, our teamwork might be improving, but it''s not a guarantee that the whole class will stay the number just like now. Not to mention that some of them may have to attend a club activity or other business, also in the PE class... we cannot always play the same sports in every PE slots.
In summary, our teamwork may barely stand tough for any big sports that require a lot of teamwork... and for the other games, it will come down to a personal talent and knowledge to cover it.
"Alright, round up boys. Let''s make a team now!" a good looking guy with black maroon hair, standing in front of us while shouting. It''s Klar.
I know his name as his friend called him that. I admit that he is a good-looking, no matter which angle you look. My instinct tells me that right now he''s standing at the top in the class and why the hell I can see the roses behind him?
"You guys are sure lucky to have me in this class! as I can play with a high performance in any sport without a problem" his words made everyone cheered for him. His words are sure sounded confident as his face.
Not only handsome but also an athletic too? you''re too much blessed, Klar
"Now then, we got 20 guys in our class. You know what, after hearing Mr Gil said... it best that we choose only the best for a certain game. So if anyone that can brag about anything that you excel, please raise your hand and tell us"
Most of them who are raising their hand is an athletic person and is roughly about nine-person too. I want to raise a hand too since I do running every day, so that makes me an athletic guy too... but it feels so embarrassed to do it
"What about you. You seem like can play a sport" Klar point his finger at me
"M-me? n-no, I''ve no experience in any sport at all" I reply with a stutter. Shit, now my chance to become a friend to him has slipped!Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.
"I see. But that''s no problem at all. I will teach you until you better, my friend. So, what''s your name?" he approaching me with a sincere smile
He suddenly extends his hand to shakes hand. He is a good guy, no one ever to extend his hand to me openly. I stood for a while until he winks at me.
I reach his hand and shake it,"My name is Aiza. Nice to me you"
"Ah, I''m Klar... likewise"
Ah, what is this feeling? it feels like I''m equal to him. His eyes were not shown any coldness or looking down at me at all. At last, someone has finally recognized me as the citizen of this nation! Banzai!!
"Don''t get fooled by his mask" A voice comes from behind with whispering
An average guy with a gloomy face is already behind me. Hey, its one of the lone wolves. His words have picked my interest
"What do you mean by that?"
"Just looking at your reaction, I can tell that you''re loner just like me. To attest to my guessing, I have a proof that since the class started, you haven''t made any contact with our guys, am I right, Aiza?"
What the? how the heck he knows?
"How--"
"How did I know... is that you want to ask, right? well, you could say that I''m observing you for a while. I amazed that you''re a loner just like me, despite your appearance"
This guy really creeping me out
"who are you?"
"Ah, my bad. I''m Deg. I''m sitting in the far middle of the right. Nice to meet you"
"And--"
"If you want to ask about my words about him, you really should. I''m with him since the middle school. Trust me, he''s far worse than you can imagine"
He really likes to cut in when other try to talk, is he?
But for him to say like this about him, maybe Klar really is a bad person in inside. Well, it''s not strange though... since all the bullies from my school mostly like that. I should take his advice into account... but why he''s doing this far for me...
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Well... um... you can say it was my act of kindness"
He left by walking with slowly headed to an empty space from the other classmates. He''s kinda weird but what should I say... he reminds me of someone that I know
Before I know it, a group of five-person appears in front of me. The person in the middle looks like the leader to me. He''s slightly fat with a tall body. And he''s shooting his anger expression to me.... seriously, what harm did I do to you to cause your reaction like this?
"Oi... Aiza, am I right?"
Uwaa.... he looks scary! "Y-yeah..."
"I''m Berges... I''m always want to meet you... but--"
"You do realise that you can always meet him since he''s also from the class, am I right?" his friends butt in
"Damn man, just shut the fuck up! I''m trying to create a tense situation here, so read the mood dude" he said with a red face, while his friends only giggles when sees his reaction
Maybe he''s not a scary person like I thought
"Ahem... er... where were we? Oh, yes. I always want to meet you but I can find the right time on it"
So for three days... You''re saying that you''re looking for a really suitable time to meet me? can''t say I''m happy, Berges
"So... what''s up?"
"Well, aren''t you calm now? tch, thanks a lot... friends~" they only laughing while hearing his word
"Hahaha..."
"Why are you laughing? do my face looks like a clown to you??"
Crap...
"I want to tell you... that from the moment you take the forbidden fruit, you''ve already declared a war with me. So prepare for the worst!"
"Forbidden-- hey, what''s this all about?"
"Aiza, I challenge you in a soccer game! you might want to accept it or I will make you suffer until you graduate"
Chapter 17
Good, and now... I''ve been challenged by a ''bear'' for an unknown reason. He said about the forbidden fruit... but what could it be? did I eat something that I shouldn''t in front of him?
It can''t be helped, sooner or later I''ll know the answer eventually. I''ve to accept his challenge or I might be in trouble later. But to play soccer... I don''t have any experience in it, kicking the ball is out of the question. At least I know the rules and the formation so it might help me even a little.
He''s already making his team now, and four of them is the sportsman who raises the hand earlier. In fact, Berges''s group is all the sportsman... talk about unfair. And what about mine?
No need to say... even I can clearly announce my surrender after seeing the remaining guys. They look unreliable... same as me.
"H-hey, let me join your team too!" one of the guys look panic on his face as he says with quick
"No, me! I can play better than him!"
Those who remain are desperate to enter Berges''s team. When I thinking of it, our guys are only 20 in number, and the soccer rules are each team requires eleven people to play. This is bad... if this keep continues... I will be a disadvantage in the game... a large handicap for me to hurdle
"Come, Klar. Join me" Berges now taking the most called prodigy guy, Klar. I cannot do anything for as I don''t have the authority to keep him on my team
"Thanks for the invite, Berges. But it seems that I''ll join Aiza''s side after all."
"What do you mean by that? if you join me, we will easily destroy that guy"
"That''s the more reason that I''ve to join him"
"What the?"
"Your business with him is none of my concern, but as a sportsman... I find it unfair just about looking at your team. You already took the advantage... knowing that Aiza can''t play any sport, am I right?" he said it out loud until reaching the girl''s place as I notice some of them are looking at us.
"Well..."This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.
"So, without a doubt, I will join him to fight against you. And for that, we will fight 10 vs 10 in order to fight fair and square"
"Heh, no matters. Adding one true player doesn''t change anything. The outcome of our result is already decided the moment you choose the wrong side, Klar"
He approaches his team and walks to the other side of the field.
Now I confuse here. Deg said he''s the worst person but why did Klar even join me? I can''t think of anything other than he is kind and reliable.
"Hey, Aiza. I already ask the teacher and he said he''ll permit it. In addition, he asks the third year to be the assistant referee... so it will be like a real soccer game. Do you know the rules?"
"Yeah... I kinda know since I watching the game with my father"
"Good, so what position you''ll be?"
Most of my teammates choose the position hurridly. The remainingposition is midfielder and goalkeeper. My instinct tells me that they do not want to be a goalkeeper since that position frequently being hit by the shots... especially at the face and the ''sword''.
"Okay... so the position that still empty is... midfielder and goalkeeper. But I''m sorry Aiza... I can''t create the flow of our game if I remain at back, so I must ask you to be the goalkeeper"
I can''t ask more of his kindness. He''s already agreed to join me despite the odd, so I can''t turn down his wish.
"Sure! leave the position to me. I''ll try my best to keep the ball out from past over me!"
"And leave the scoring to me, Lyod. I may not have a pure talent, but as the experienced player... at least I can harm our opponent by scoring" a glasses guy came to me while making a cool posing.
We wore the blue singlet with a number on its back... on the top of our clothes since we look like a secondary team to them. And I wearing the goalkeeper glove for the first time. It''s quite big and kinda look strong.
And the view from my eyes. I can see all of my teammates'' back from here. The heaviest job in this game is passed down to me, a total beginner and I''m the last line of a defence who will prevent or denied our enemy''s victory. So the pressure is big.
Before I know it, some of the students who have the same PE time with us, are already showing on the sideline. Crap, now I''m nervous. It''s not like this is the official game, this is just our PE class... so why do I feel so frightened.
For my team... Klar has become our captain and the opponent, of course, is Berges. From his standing... I''m quite sure that''s the striker position. But my mind can''t comprehend it. Can he run with his tall and big body? I mean... my father''s favourite team has the speedy type of striker. So I thought that having a speed type player could make things easier.
No no no, throw away that kind of thinking. Soccer doesn''t solely focus on speed alone, so I''m sure he must have a trick on his sleeves. Maybe he''s special in destructive power alone... who knows.
Rule of conquering #3: always cautious and keep thinking forward to avoid any silly doom.
The referee now is already blowing the whistle, sign the game starts. Good, my mental is in the good condition. Genzo Wakabayashi.... lend me your skill!
"Now, come at me!!"
Chapter 18
"Crush them all!!" Berges head to our defence line while dribbling with a straight course.
Since from the beginning, our team cannot hold the ball much longer as the opponent much more experience than us. The only one that can put up a fight is Klar... but this is a team sport... one guy can''t assure the team''s victory. So I''ve to think something before it will get worse.
This is something that I expected for a big man like him when leading at the frontline. He simply rams the defenders with his physic... like a bowling game. The others can only brush aside when confronting him. His brute strength is the real deal!
"Berges, this is as far as you can go-- Guwahh!!" that guy just now doing some spinning while in mid-air. A moment of silence for him...
"Aiza!" I can hear Deg''s shouting from afar
Berges head straight with an evil smirk. Now the only left is two of our defenders and me. What should I do... plan... plan...
I want to command the defenders to intercept him... but that would be a suicide mission for them. The others are chasing him from the back but they won''t make it time.
"Aiza! I''ll crush your face for good!!"
Does he want to aim my face? I see... so right now in his head is full on how to humiliate me or something without showing the real intent. In other words, he''s playing with his emotions, and not his brain.
"You two, move slowly back to the penalty area. Cover my right and left that has some room. In fact, try to narrow his shoot vision!"
"Okay!"
If he tries to aim my face, then that''s good. the course will be clear for me to intercept! I do not know if he does truly hates me or not... but if he seriously does... then the possibilities are...
"Come!" I put all the effort to make me smile as wicked as would be... all so that he can take the bait.
His face suddenly looks rage as he ready to swing his right leg to the ball. His distance is near outside the penalty area... so his shot might not strong as the starter...
"Eat this, Aiza!" he releases the blast by kicking with hard... without anyone interferes it. That loud sound from his blast really scares me!
But...
I can see it! it went straight to me with fast... way too fast! In addition, the ball is spinning with hard so catching it would be a foolish idea.
What''s the best option... punching? parry it? damn... I don''t have time for this thinking! I put my arm together act as a shield and cover my face to avoid any necessary injuries.
I can''t see what''s in front of me... but abruptly, the ball is finally hit my arm. Geh, what a power! my arm cannot hold this destructive blow, my body is almost lost its balance because of it.
I can''t back down! I strengthen myarm to repel that ball... and I succeeds. But in return, my body fall backwardsby that power. My arm feels stings and hot, but still...!
"Clear the ball!"
They kick the ball forward without thinking much after hearing my shout. For now, we''re safe... but there''s no telling what kind of attacks waiting for me.
I rub my right arm gently, Its hurt a bit but it really worth it...
"Aiza, nice block!" the defender guys praising me. Those words really fired me up.
I want to say thanks by mentioning their name but I do not know their name... so all I can do is smile back at them and showing that I''m fine.
But... this is bad...
If their attacks keep continues, the chances of their scoring will rise too. So I have to keep their chances as low as possible. I''ve quite memories of the matches that I watched with my father, so I have quite a few ideas to make a strategy to try. Maybe it will work against our opponent, but it will depend on our defenders whether they obey it or not.
Just about time, the ball is rolling out of the line cause from the opponent make the tackles.
Let''s give a shot!
"All defenders, come near me... I have an idea"
They come at me with a questioning face. It''s the first time for me to give a direct order... and I quite tremble for it. But if I don''t take the first step forward... I''ll not improve forever. I must sound confident if I want themto believe me!
********************************************************************
The second half is already in the midway and the game still continueswith our score is both zero, plus we still not making any progress in attacking. That''s how good they are to us. But they also not making any goal too since Klar was frequently gone down to help the defenders.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"Damn, why can we score against these amateurs?" I can hear one of their strikers... whining not far from my stand.
"Yeah, somehow our shots are always hit the post and the bar. They sure have a luck of the devil! But let''s keep continue until their defenders are out of gas!" Berges said while patting his partner''s back
"You''re right. They are just lucky... that''s all"
Luck of the devil? You''re sorely mistaken, Berges. All those miss attacks by your team are not pure luck by any mean... it''s because of my keen observation, a neat calculation and the right timing to execute it... that''s the true story here.
I deliberate by rearranging the defenders until looks like a mess when your team are attacking. If one of your guys enters the penalty area, one of my defenders will do the pressuring and the other one will try to narrow their vision of scoring for me. If one doesn''t enough, I''ll put two... maybe three if the situation permits it.
If they passing to another guy... the plan is still the same but just changing to a defender that is near them. This plan only works when the opponent has entered the penalty area. So you guys must have no choice but to strike from afar or randomly shot from your place. I know this plan looks boring for the audience... but it much more effective for us to avoid any risk game
But the price is...
"Have you no shame? all of you guys are camping at the bottom, don''t you want to win or something?!" Berges shout with a rough voice
That''s right... the price is... we can''t make any attack while using this tactic because it requires a lot of men and stamina to do it. The less man we have, our stamina will drain faster than we anticipated.
Took a glance at my watches... I think its almost time for me to use that trap.
I raise my hand to show a sign of the next scheme to our guys... and they nodded shows understood my intention. The midfielder and defenders walk forward and widening their position until there''s a big gap that visibly shown to him.
"Of course I don''t. I prefer to draw rather than losing. With that, we''ll be an equal" I hope he notices this.
"In your dream!"
The ball is with his midfielders so he running straight to the big space that been left by our midfielders. He caught it! Now is about time to raise that trap!
The guys in defender are always looked back waiting for my instruction. I nodded to them, sign that the three of them must walk forward with fast but make it unnoticed by the enemy and the last defender will follow from behind. Leaving a further gap between me and them.
He will take this chance after looking this much space that we created
"Hey!" Berges ask for a long pass from his teammates.
Just his teammates about to kick, my last defender is already walking past him. I can see his eagerness to score a goal... enough to call it blind for not to see such a visible trap.
After he receives it, his face begins to smile... unexpectedly look evil to me," hehehe, you''re dead!"
He rushes towards me like there''s no tomorrow... but his movement is suddenly frozen by the sound of the whistle. He noticed that the assistant referee has already raised the flag... a sign of offside.
"Wha... offside!? me!?"
This tactic called high lines. It''s going well to counter a team that has a high offensive but its a high risk as well since the defence line is way too high in front... leaving the goalkeeper alone here.
"Lucky~"
"Aiza...!"
Good... we manage to hold them for this long... and it''s about time to enters the final phase of my plan. I can see Mr Gil is staring at his watches.
"Three more minutes" he shouts
"Alright, back home you guys! we''ll defend until the final whistle!" I ordering them to go back for defending. I intentionally shout with a clear voice, to get Berges''s team attention.
"Yeah!"
In this tight situation, those who thought highly about themselves will surely rage by our action. They will go into a simple one-way of thinking... and that is... all-out attacks!
"Everyone... launch an all-out attack on them!!" Berges shouts... following with all of his teammates. Heh... right on the mark.
I can tell because... if anyone who capable of winning in something but suddenly being pressed into the corner... their mind will be thinking only one thing... win!
They too much pride to taste the bitterness of defeat and humiliations so they will do anything to make them a winner in the end. Thus, I take that to my advantage in this game.
They keep passing around to avoid any contact by our team. Some of them try to rush in but being block by two defenders. Even Berges play with careful as to not make any silly foul... because the foul will become more sensitive in near the defensive line rather in the middle.
They also cannot go randomly shots like they pleased. If they do, they only waste the time. So judging by the time, they only got one shot. They try to search for the opening but with my arrangement for the defenders... you will find it difficult... trust me, Berges.
The time is running out. They will release a desperate shot. And my ''key'' is all set to go.
"We don''t have much time. Pass to me. I''ll end it!" so it comes down to his shot after all
Even if it''s you, I bet that you''ll not make a rising shot that only has a 34% rate of success. So it will be either from the ground or around my hip for a safe bet.
Hmm... he''s running to my right... maybe for a crossing," Guys, watch for thecrossing inside thepost-"
Wait.... something''s not right. He''s shooting... with his left leg? Isn''t all of his shots come from his major leg, his right leg? but from his stance...this is not his earlier motion of shooting.
A ball spinning with a swing arc toward to my top of the right post. It''s a curling shot! Damn.... I thought he just a monster with only has one card to play!
But itsheads close to a middle... I can catch it!
I jump to the top right and manage to catch it firmly. Luckily, unlike his earlier shot, its lack of power, speed and spin... and because of that, it went a little to the middle. Now this I called luck
To be honest, I was hoping for a shit ball that comes from the defenders blocking the shot. But this is good too... in fact, better.
Since the enemy has left only one defender in the mid, and the whistle is already at Mr Gil''s lips...now''s the right time to strike! It''s now or never! "Go, Klar!!" I throw the ball at him with all might.
Klar intercepts it and runs while dribbling the ball. I have to admit that he''s not bluffing after all. Earlier, I can''t even see how skillfully he is, but after seeing he dribble with agile and past over that single defender... I kneel for defeated.
The enemy can''t match up to his speed, plus for the time he get''s the ball... he''s already near the middle so catching up to him would definitely hopeless. Right after he enters the enemy''s penalty area... he immediately swings hard of his leg and rams it at the ball. It went straight to the left and reach the inner net
The goalkeeper''s reaction tells me that even I''ve mentally prepared for it, I can''t lay that ball for as it so damn fast. But that''s that... the end of the line is we score against you guys!
Heh...
Looking at how joyful my team celebrate it... I feel like all those matches that I watched with my father... is paying off
Chapter 19 V1 end
Mr Gil blows the whistle after a few seconds of kick-off. With that... we officially have won against Berges''s team who filled with those who already has the experienced in soccer. It was no miracle at all because it was my instruction that leads them to victory. And here I think I finally being recognized by the others
Despite all those efforts of mine...They went to the Klar and hugging him with overjoy... leaving me behind without even looked back...
I thought that I finally have a different situation when I started in high school.... but nothing has changed after all
I sit and lean at the pole, staring at my team who keep celebrate and worshipping at Klar as the hero of this match. It''s the normal thing for a striker to steal the scene and close the curtain for those who did even better than them.
Even the ads, news, tv, and even the shirt show it all, telling that only striker will carve the name through the history and only a few of the other position can make it through. Because most of the fan only held high regard at those who can score the memorable goal rather than those who save them from the tight situation.
"Hey...nice game plan Aiza"
"Hmm..."
"Can you see over there? that''s the ugly truth. You can befriend him but slowly you will be his shadow in no time" Deg comes to me while giving me a drink
"thanks..." I receive it and drink without looking to at his eyes. I''ve no energy left to reply him that it was my doing that Klar can score a goal without anyone disrupt him.
It''s always like this...
The moment that I thought about the other''s, I immediately forget about my original objectives, and that''s my problem that haunts me for so long. I thought that I''m used to this treatment... but it seems that I don''t. I feel really down by that.
I just want to be appreciated by the others. I want to be noticed for my effort. I''m not a kind person... I want my reward! Not within my family... but with a stranger called ''friends''.
I''m not in the anime or manga world, where if the Mc doing something that even minor things, he being noticed it right away by his friends. But for me? what about me?? This is the reality... this is the fact... this is your fate, Aiza. Even I''ve changed on the outside... but the situation still remains the same. You''re still you no matter how much change you''ve done
The PE class is about to end, and I feel thirsty for some reason, even Deg has already given me a water earlier. After Mr Gil gives his permission, I went to the toilet with my heart feels betrayed. Remain long here will only just rubbed salt into the wound
Upon my way, I catch a glimpse of a big guy standing not far from me
"Hey... where are you going? don''t get too conceit after that victory, Aiza. You''re just lucky to have Klar on your side--"
"Yeah-yeah... Klar is the one who made me win against you or whatever... I don''t care " while I''m talking without looking at his face... I continue walking with my leg feels heavy.

**********************************************************************
It already enters the break time and I''m still in front of the mirror in the toilet. Staring at my reflection... my face shows the total defeat. I washing hard with water, hoping that this kind of face will be dragalong with the water through the pipe hole. But it doesn''t work...
I guess aiming to be popular is too hard for me after all, since in my class... there''s already has someone that who sits in the prince''s chair. He''s too much for me to overcome. Its no use... this is a futile effort from the beginning!
Damn... nothing has changed since then!
A sudden water... flow through my cheek with a slightly warm. Damn... stop it, stop flowing you damn tears! no... stop... please... I b-beg... stop it... stop--
Pa!!
Wha-- my right cheek feels a sudden sting yet little hot...
Eh... my right hand...? in front of my face? how did it moveon its own without my brains command it? Did I slap my own face without I''m noticed?
While still wondering... my eyes catch the current condition of the right hand. It''s full of permanent bruise and swelling. The nerves showedlike a tree''s branch all over my backhand and arm which is not when I''m still fat... and some part of my arm covered with a hard muscle.
I see... I''ve come from a long way and effort to make my hand look like this. I almost forgot about the reason of why that I''m starting all those training.
I forgot about all the pain from doing the push-up, sits-up, squats, and running daily. I have forgotten about how painful to hold your starving and control your glutton by eating with a small portion. I almost forgot how much hurt my chest when I sold all my favourite anime figures before my eyes... all so that I can buy thedumbbell and punching bag.
Did I forget about all those things for one defeat? how embarrassing. I shouldn''t behave like this! I already said it before... that I''ll make my way to the top seat, won''t I? I do not want my past keep looping forever so that''s why I''m starting all those training.
Fuck... why am I doing here. Just one defeat and you already waving a white flag? you''re hopeless, Aiza. That''s why you always remain on the ground floor.
Ha... what a weak, my heart that is. I should know that there''s no a shortcut to be a success. Now I feel much refresh after that sudden ''slap''. I do not know why or how that triggered my arm to make his own actions... but I want to thank you for that.
I leaving the toilet and went to the cafeteria. Now all those negative emotions have disappeared... I feel hungry for that, so let''s indulge ourselves by eating the best and luxury food that cafeteria has. And hey, I did a good job too since it was my first time playing the soccer.
"Hey..." I heard a girl greets me from behind
"O-oh, it''s you Vid"
"Where have you been? I cannot see you anywhere on the field track or in the class after your game"
"I''m sorry, I go to the toilet earlier. So... what''s up Vid?"
She stares at me with a silence look for a while before she responded to my question," Aiza..."
"Yes?"
"You''ve done well for a person that a total beginner in a soccer game. I cannot help but hearit from Klar''s shouts about you. It''s too bad that everyone on your team doesn''t notice about your effort..."
"Eh-- what are you--"
"You''re crying just now, am I right? your eyes reveal everything for me to know. Don''t you worry... I know everything since the game started and I know what have you done to make your team in victory"
What? did my eyes were that red even Vid can tell that I''m crying? I brushing hard at my eye. Oh for a god sake!
"I-I''m not crying... idiot!"
"Aiza..."
"hmm?"
"Nice play out there," she said it with a bright smile at me
I do not know that Vid can be this cute. For she can notice all my effort, I''m speechless. I''m expecting for those guys to say that word to me... but for Vid to say like this... it''s far more worth it,"Thanks"
"Now that you''ve made me wait for you, you must treat me a dessert"
"Dessert? what-- Ah... fine... if it''s you" well the price for that smile is just a dessert. No big deal
"Great~! " she really happy as her hand create a fist
I want to confirm something, " Does this mean... we''re friends now?"
"Huh? what are you talking about? aren''t we already become friends since the first day? Geez, you''re so weird... come on, let''s march to meet the heaven''s ultimate creation!"
Guess it wasn''t a side thinking after all, "yeah, I heard you Vid"
V2 Chapter 1
Walking with listless, I went straight with those students headed to the class. Last night I went overboard by playing simulating game causing my sleep was put to hold until 3 am, so I woke up very late without knowing the alarm has tried to wake me up with a ''gently'' sound.
Thankful, Farlan has a day off, so I asked him to send me. The time I noticed right after I sat behind him... as regret like I would be... it was a death wish for me to ask him for that. As the result, I manage to arrive earlier but I barf at the side road as soon as my feet touch the ground. It was not my fault because my mind was not in a sense back then!
On my path, I can see those students back... walking with their friends, chatting while their expression looks thrilled about something. It''s not like I''m jealous of them and its nothing much different from my usual day... but unlike those days in the past... I can clearly say that I manage to take a new step forward.
With that, my mind sways in thinking about last week, I can say many things has happened during in those days. Talking to a girl and meet someone new, encounter the demon king and some leeches, blackmailing the boxer guy and meet the victim senpai.
Speaking of that, I haven''t seen her for a while after that confession. If I have to say... I''m the one who at fault here. Leaving her right after her confession and maybe she is so upset with me.
Her words need a justice from me and I can''t let it hang like some precious anime with a cliffhanger ending. I''ll meet her in break time. But after I meet her... then what? truth speaking... I kinda take a little interest in her and she must have her reasoning of doing that.
Okay, its decided! I''ll meet her
****************************************************************
So... this is the second year building... quite far from our building. Its located at near the administration building
"So this is the second year building. Damn, my heart is pounding hard!"
HMM!? damn, why didn''tI notice him from tailing me!
"What the heck are you doing here, Deg?"
"Well, ofmhm... I''m from the cafeteria and saw you walk out of the building with hurried. It picks my curious so I follow you. Who knows that you''re headed here~" saying while swallowing a whole of dumpling is not good you know... you might get choked
He acts friendly toward me ever since after that Berges challenge. Not that I dislike it, and I have to admit it... deep inside my heart... I''m glad that I able to talk with a guy in the class.Stolen story; please report.
"And what''s with that your heart pounding hard? do you have a senpai that you like, Deg?"
"Forget about asking me, I wonder if you are the one who has a love connection with a second year? so... what are you doing here exactly?"
"It''s nothing, I just want to meet someone and that''s all"
"Oho... by any means... Rika-senpaifrom the gymnastic club? or is it Eris from the karate club? with your face and your slightly buffed body... I''m sure they will take the hook" his face shows smiling while keepattacking my rib with his elbow
"That''s not what I''m here for... and stop hitting me!"
Before I know, we pulled some attraction to a group of guy that sits on the bench near the vending machine. The middle of them is glaring at us like some lion waiting for his prey...really scary!
Then he approaches us, following him are his friends. I hope we do not disturb you, so please forgive us....
"Hey, you''re the first year. What are you doing here?" he stands with a mighty looking at in front of us
He''s so tall and has spiky hair. His shoulders are wide and his neck is big and thick. If someone says he''s a professional fighter, then I noded agreed. Whoa... look at that arm... if I being punch by that arm, there''s no doubt that I''ll leave the world with a pathetic way.
And Deg is already hiding behind me... making me as his shield.
"I''m talking to you~"
"Er, ah... no, senpai... I just want to find someone from the second year but I do not know her name nor her class"
With no response on my answer, he glaring intensely at me and his arm suddenly look really dangerous as his hand form a fist
"S-senpai?"
"So... you must be the one...." His face becomes even more ferocious than before.
Don''t tell me that, he''s an acquaintance with the boxing guy?! if so, then he must be that victim senpai boyfriend! I''m screwed!!
His arm aggressively hugs my head and drag me to follow him. I tried to claw his arm but his muscle is way too hard! I try to struggle with all my might but the effort is futile
"Ho... you got some strength in you... very good...!"
"Hmpph mmmm...!" my mouth is being pressed by that arm
What''s going on? are you trying to taking me far from the CCTV and beat me up at a place where no one can hear my voice? this is bad! I can''t even see with this thick arm of his.
After a while that I being dragged, for some reason, my shoes touch some a fine wood floor. Without warning, I being tossed right away by that overwhelming strength of his.
I breathe heavily because of I nearly faint from that arm hug by him.
"You brought another first year again?" as my head faced down... I can clearly hear a voice of a girl that right in front of me
"He''s a promising member, so I brought him to you"
"Geez, Heremo... I already told you that don''t drag people out of their will!"
"I''m sorry, Eris. But we do not have any choice. We''re running out of member here. If we do not hurry to find a new member, then the school will disband our club for sure"
"I-I know that, but still..."
T-this is awkward. I want to face up but I''m in a middle of drama here. The moment I made a move will pull their attention at me with an instance.
"Long time no see, first-year hero...~"
Eh... that voice
"Eh, Mel-chan... you know this guy?"
"Remember that I told you a freshman saving me from Rado last week, Erichan? well it''s him"
I slowly move my head up to see her closely.
My eyes catch a two girl sits on the wooden bench while in a middle of having lunch. I know the one at the left but the one with a blonde hair... she must be Eris
"W-well hello there, victim senpai..."
V2 Chapter 2
"You still calling me that?"
"Can''t be helped. You never tell me your name. In fact, you''re same as me... still calling me that first-year hero..."
"Well, hahaha... I cannot do anything. By the time I want to continue our conversation last week, you''re already left me by running while screaming... whose false is that?"
"Ah-- that''s..." damn... been headshot right away...
"So.. this is the first year hero. Thank you for saving Melly from that man. I deeply appreciate what you''ve done to my best friend" a girl with a foreign looking with a blonde hair, slightly bow on me
"Tch, if only I was there...Eris will surely..." I can hear that Heremo guy murmuring from the back. I see... so he has a thing on her
"May I know your name?" she walks slowly toward me
"A-Aiza Melin... senpai!"
Damn... is she a foreigner? because her beauty is making me speechless. I wouldn''t surprise if she is called the empress in this school. She making Lysa like the second place with hogging all the vote for herself.
"Oh, I''m Eris Svenguard... from class 2-2. Nice to meet you, Melin-kun" she stretchedher hand for me as speaking with a dazzlingsmile
I-is it okay for me to greet that hand? it looks so pure with a strange light coating all over it. I feel nervous for some reason...
"Hmm... what''s the matter?"
Heck... she''ll think me bad if I do not greet her hand. But first... thank you god for giving this opportunity...!
I hold his hand and raise from the wooden floor. By the time I stand, she almost as tall as me... and her smell is so sweet as a girl should be. And the most important thing is... my hand finally manages to hold a girl''s hand for the first time and now it''s being written in my daily life''s log book.
As my mind being dragged into the fantasy feeling by this soft hand...
"Um... you can let go of my hand now..."
"Ek... I-I''m sorry...!" I hurried let go of her hand with instant
"Its alright" she only smiling after seeing my reaction
Fuh... what a fearsome being that you have created, god-kun. Just by holding her hands and Ilost my sense? it''s crazy. No wonder Deg has mentioned about his heart pounding hard or something.... she is really gorgeous!
Speaking of Deg... where is he? now I noticed that Deg isn''twith me the whole time ever since I''ve been thrown by that big guy.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
"Aiza...Melin... so that''s your name..."
"Ah... yes it is. And please call me Aiza like my friends do"
"I forgot to mention my name before, so I''ll introduce for you this time... I''m Melly Hills. And that guy behind you is Heremo Fort, the next heir of Fort company. He may look fury but he''s kind heart... as soft as a pudding..."
"Hey, don''t go telling others about myself!" both of them giggles when seeing that guy reaction
I only smiled when seeing those guys. I can tell that these three are close friends. If I had not rescued her back then, I doubt that she''ll ever to make that smile again. I''m really grateful for I was there to save her, god.
"so, did you pick him all the way from the freshmen building, Heremo?" Melly asks
"No. He was in front of ours with his friend. And he said that he wants to meet a person from our grade"
C-crap, now I remember that the real reason that I''ve come to the sophomore''s area. Damn, I can''t talk about this matter in front of them... I''ll be in shame!
"Really, Aiza? who is this person that you''re looking for?" Eris raise her eyebrow while asking
"W-well... er..."
"Are you looking for me?" Melly suddenly pointing at herself while looking at me with question eyes.
Ah!! it''s so embarrassing!! I rather talk to her alone than in front of these guys.
I only nod slightly with my head faced down to cover my red face. They only silent for a moment before Melly continues to speak
"I can fully grasp on why areyou looking for me. It''s been a week and I still waiting patiently for your answer. I won''t blame you for your late answer since it was my false for suddenly throw that word on you out of the blue..."
She''s not angry with me. Rather... she waits for me. I''m such a sore loser. How can I lost composure as a man when a girl seeks her answer that she waiting for it. Be a man and tell her on what did you feel about her, Aiza!
"I-I guess we''re only disturbing you guys here, so we''ll leaving you guys here for your private diss--"
"It''s okay, Eris-senpai. I do not mind at all" She looks nervous when she saw her best friend look so into it in this conversation
I''ve to give her answer right now! " Melly-senpai...!"
"Y-yes?"
"I''m so sorry but I have to refuse..." I bow down to her with a guilty heart.
I don''t know why.... I may take a little interest in her but somehow in my deeper heart... I feel no love for her. If I accept her offer, it will more like I toy her feelings rather than loving her.
"Can you give me your reason?" she sounded stutter... maybe she was shocked by my answer
"Um... we only have just met thrice and of course...not knowing each other likes and interest is in the account too. So... before we reach that level... I think... it will be the best we become friends first...s-so...?" I extend my hand to her.
Gosh... my hand is shaking and full of sweats...!
I''m too nervous to look at her face. I''m afraid that she''ll be mad or sad when I turned her down. This is a first time that I reject someone offer...especially a girl, which is a rare case for me. If it''s the old me, I would accept it for gaining the status... but if I think carefully... she deserves a fair treatment
With my eye closed, abruptly, my hand feels a soft skin that grips it with warm.
"Please don''t close your eyes, Aiza. I think so too. I may be hurried everything and put all the burden on you for thinking this... I''m sorry... "
Her hand''s tremble? is she crying? no! "T-That''s not true--"
"Finally, got your eyes open~" she smiled at me after I quickly respond her words
"Wha--" she tricked me?
She laughing at me while I look like an idiot here. Eris-senpai and Heremo-senpai only shook their head after saw that.
But...seeing her like this, I''ve wouldn''t mind being laughed by her at all.
"Aiza..."
"yes?"
"I accept your offer, Aiza-kun. Let''s take it slow to know each other... shall we?"
"Of course... Melly-senpai"
V2 Chapter 3
At the end of the week¡ as my usual routine, it¡¯s my training period and right now, I already finish my 15km running. The early morning it''s the best time for me to run as much as I want since there¡¯s no one here. In the past¡ while I¡¯m still fat looking, I¡¯ve become everyone favourite morning¡¯s joke as my belly and butt are jiggling like a pudding when I¡¯m running with hard. And of course¡ it was embarrassing.
But that¡¯s all in the past, and right now, those fats were gone¡ I can say with confidence that¡ I¡¯m now... a handsome guy! It¡¯s not a self-proclaim title, I already ask Noa for her certificate and approval several times¡ and I passed. She said on scale 1-5 in good looking¡ I¡¯m in the fourth, so that¡¯s pretty high.
Which is to say... I''m glad that I have a sister.
After exhaust from earlier running, I went to the bench and chug the drink. Adding five kilometres with a sudden to your training menu was a genocide move. I can¡¯t feel my legs right now. Thus, I¡¯ve decided to remain here until it regains strength.
¡°Ha¡ what a refreshing starts¡!¡±
After that incident with Melly has cleared, my mind finally has begun to roam with freely without anything to be bind with. If only this country has developed the 3D manuever gear, I¡¯ll go flying around while singing the actual series song with loud and passion! And that¡¯s how I¡¯m feeling right now.
Now I can finally go back to my original objectives¡ and that is to conquer the class. For now, my popularity has been shadowed by Klar from his performance in mock training in PE class. And right now, the only friends that I make are Vidre and Deg.
Two days ago, each class¡¯s representatives have gone to draw for the big event in the next week, the Battle Game. And as for my class leader, It¡¯s Klar. He has almost voted from the class¡ but what makes me wondering, my name also being nominated as the candidate... but I wouldn''t mind though. After that, Klar has returned to the class with a blank looking.
As lucky as it has¡ one of the theme for the upcoming BG is soccer. Maybe our class has the shot to be a champion in that theme. But to win the BG competition¡ we must win at least three of the five games¡ which mean we have to become the first place for three different games. And BG will last for four days¡ three days for the battles and one day for the end ceremony.
The other sports are¡ run 100 meters, math quiz contest, cooking contest, and the battle of paintball. For a soccer theme, I only just lucky to win that mock training with only using my strategies¡ but for run 100 meters¡ I can say I¡¯m a fish in the water, I¡¯m quite confident with my speed. So¡ in short, soccer and running¡ I¡¯ll participate it, and paintball? I want to try it too¡ but for the other two¡ is out of my expertise.
¡°Oh¡ it¡¯s already bright¡±
I never noticed that this park has people already and some of them are doing jogs. And it looks like there some girls who use it. Since the track is right in front of my bench, I was a fool for not taking sunglasses with me!
From afar, that leading girl has a slender body with a white skin¡ I can see them since she¡¯s wearing sports singlet. The thing is... I cannot see her face clearly, but she must be a beauty. With that black ponytail hair of her and that huge rack that keeps wiggling from those jogs¡ thanks for the feast, god!
I can¡¯t help but stare at her body the whole time. I¡¯m a guy after all! Any guy who saw that body will definitely in the same boat as I am. But, the more closely I look, the image of her became clearly too. I cannot believe what I saw¡ let alone what I did right now! Oh god! Please rinse my eyes with your holy water!Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
¡°Huff¡ hey¡ you¡¯re that guy from the administration building¡±
IT¡¯S THE BITCH¡ LYSA!
¡°A-ah¡¡±
¡°Doing some exercise too?¡±
¡°Y-yes¡ since from 6:00 am¡¡±
¡°Wow¡ you¡¯re so early! How admirable!¡±
Your praise is the first thing that I don¡¯t want to receive!
¡°Alone¡?¡±
¡°Yes¡¡±
¡°Well, I¡¯m with my friends. But they take a break at that playground¡ so it just me right now¡±
¡°I¡ see¡¡±
¡°Huff¡ haa¡ may I take a seat beside you? I¡¯m tired from jogging all the way from my house¡±
¡°S-sure¡¡±
Looks like she¡¯s really doesn¡¯t recognize me¡ even with this distance. Well... that¡¯s good. I do want to get my revenge on her¡ but I never thought of a plan for it. Okay¡ when I back home, I¡¯ll put the notice on the wall later.
¡°So¡ do you training here for your endurance and speed on 100 meters running?¡±
¡°Well¡ yeah¡¡±
¡°Me too. Oh¡ which game do you participate?¡±
¡°L-let see¡ 100 meters running, soccer¡ and maybe the paintball. But do we allowed to join more than one game?
¡°Of course you can. Although those who don¡¯t participate any of the BG may riding the other''s coattails... they won¡¯t receive a free additional mark for your subject later in the exam¡±
Wow¡ that¡¯s unexpected news to me. Then, those who have a large number in their class may in a dilemma. Whether to choose the talented for each theme and grant the high possibilities in winning, or to make others to join any theme equally. I guess I have to tell Vid and Deg
¡°That¡¯s news to me¡±-- no wonder Klar was so pumped in joining the BG
¡°Didn¡¯t your leader told you?I guess I have to put another highlight in our speech tomorrow¡±
¡°ha¡¡±
¡°You doesn¡¯t seem interested in our conversation. Am I boring you?¡±
¡°Well¡ yeah. To be honest, I don¡¯t give a care about winning the Bg at all¡±-- of course it¡¯s a lie! I really want that silver card!!
¡°Hmm¡ you¡¯re an interesting guy¡¡±
¡°Well thank you...but I couldn''t say the same for you though..."
¡°Really? I¡¯m really not bragging about this¡ but lots of good looking guy are seeking to date with me¡±
¡°Not me for sure. Those guys really have a bad taste in woman¡¡± -- take that, you witch!
¡°Aren¡¯t you full of yourself there?
"I could say the same to you"
"You sure a full with pride..."
¡°Every human that God has created are charming and beautiful. And I¡¯m proud of myself and never embarrassed about it. They have their own beauty and unique¡ that¡¯s why human being regarded as the weirdest being among all¡±
OOHHHH!!
What¡¯s this? I can¡¯t believe it! Just now I talk back to her! I¡ talk back to her! I do not know if I¡¯m just swayed my head and follow greedily to my dark side, but this kind of repel is a great feeling!
¡°Hahahaha¡±-- w-why is she laughing?
¡°W-what? What''s so funny?
¡°Nothing~. Do you know? You¡¯re the first one who talks like that to me¡±
¡°It¡¯s mynatural attitudeand it''s nothing new¡±
¡°Maybe. But for me it is. You¡¯re weird and interesting guy¡what¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it rude to ask other people name before yours?¡±
¡°Hehehe¡ of course. But I already introduced myself back at the administration building¡ now it''s your turn¡±
¡°Really? I¡¯m a forgetful person, so a person who doesn¡¯t give a quite impact to me tend to be forgotten by me¡±
¡°Hehehe... you''re an amusing one. Very well... I¡¯ll give you my full name then. I¡¯m Lysa Rashford¡ class 1-A. And you are¡?¡±
¡°I see.. oh¡ why don¡¯t you find it yourself¡ I prefer to be called the mystery guy though¡±--- as if I¡¯m gonna tell you.
My legs have regained the strength after those talk with this girl. Now it¡¯s time to leave this place. I can see her face sulking from my answer¡ like I care! Let¡¯s go back home,have a bath and a big meal. After that, I¡¯ll purge my tainted eyes by watching ¡®Utopia upon us, never hesitate! : collection two¡¯. It¡¯s to celebrate myself after all¡ hahaha!
But why do I heard someone called my name? I try to look at the direction that voice came from¡ and I see someone familiar. A small figures with blonde hair¡ and that smile really hit my brain greatly.
¡°Aiza¡!¡± So it¡¯s Eva after all...
¡°Ai¡.zaaaa~!¡± hahaha, what a cute voice she has!
Wait¡. I try to look the person who¡¯s behind me. Huh¡? hold on¡ isn''t this is a bad timing?
Wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait!!
