May 24th 2060 - School Library

Reishi Despite her misgivings was able to bring herself to school on monday. Although she didn't meet with any of her friends or even talk to anyone.
During lunch she decided to go to the library instead of eating.
The library was colored Carmine, Victorian, sitting self-importantly at the top of a hill. It was a gorgeous, lush room with a tiled chessboard floor and about fifty shelves fanning out from a central reception area. Twenty to or Thirty Students were sitting at tables, Studying,Learning or just reading for their own entertainment purposes.

she was sitting at the left-Most table in the 3rd corridor. she was reading "The book of tauras."

An epic story about a hero fighting a war,Slaying a dragon and getting married to a Elf. It was one of the most best selling books of all times, Selling 15 million in its first year of sale. One passage about it stuck out to her in particular:
"The hero - Proteus looked his elf bride in the face with her busty chest and blue eyes, She was perfect for him and he was perfect for her. He thought that he must be crazy or insane for wanting to marry an elf, but alas his heart lead him to be with her and he was going to stick with his New love even if it meant being labeled insane.~"

Reishi: Insane…

That word that kept popping up in her head. She quickly slammed the book closed and stood up, going to the bookshelf to retrieve another when someone suddenly touched her back from behind her.

Reishi: …!

Their hands were noticeably cold and wet like they had been through something.

Reishi swiftly turned around to see the student president- Fumi standing before her. She was wearing a jacket and was soaked, likely from the rain outside.

Fumi: Sorry. I didn't mean to scare ya reishi.

Fumi said as she scratched her head nervously.

Reishi: why'd you t-touch my back!

Fumi: Oh, Did I do that?

Reishi: Yes!

Fumi: Sorry, I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory yesterday!

Reishi: Oh thanks.

Fumi: You're welcome!

Fumi looked into reishi's eye longingly. Their two eyes met, causing reishi to yield and look away.

Reishi: umm. Is there something else you need?

Fumi: How about you…..

Reishi: H-Huh?

Fumi: Er- um, I meant to say that You would make a perfect fit for the student council!

Reishi: Me on the student council…?

Fumi: Y-Yeah! Seeing the way you did all those calculations in that duel made me think that you'd make a good school treasurer!

Reishi: You think so…?

Fumi put her hands on reishi's shoulder and gazed into her eyes again. It made her feel very uncomfortable.

Fumi: Yes.

Reishi: Ummm.

She took her hand off reishi's shoulder

Fumi: Unfortunately can't offer you this position now, because we already have a student treasurer. So you'll just have apply for it next year!

Reishi: Bummer. But i'm not even sure that I'd be cut out for it.

Fumi: I'm positive that you would be! Just think about it; okay?

Reishi: R-Right.

Fumi Left reishi Feeling Embarrassed and uncomfortable about her own mood. She had only just met fumi and the girl was giving her weird vibes. It was almost like fumi was interested in her…. Or maybe that was just her imagination?

She returned back to the bookshelf to look for a book.
She looked through the fiction section looking for something else to read. Until she found another book,

Reishi: "Proudness and prejudice."

The book had a cover which displayed a man tapping his wife on the bottom . It seemed to be about sexism in 19th century. She took the book and prepared to sit down once again.

?: H-Hey.

Someone from behind reishi tried approached, Spooking her.
Reishi turned around, Only to see her silver-haired friend shima.

Reishi: Oh, Hey Shima.

They awkwardly looked at each other.

Reishi: -Er… Cleaning duties again?

Shima had on her cheerleader outfit again. It was slightly different as it was bluer and had the words " Team player" on it.

Shima: I hate this school.

Shima stoically replied.

Shima: -Were you just talking to fumi?

Reishi: Ya why?

Shima: Reishi…. You really shouldn't talk to her. She's a bad and awful person!

Reishi: She seems nice enough. She offered me to be the student treasurer next year.

Shima: Reishi please. Fumi only uses people to advance her own agenda. She's like a leech.

Reishi: ….. What's your history with her? You seem really adamant about her.

Shima: It's a long story.

Once again, reishi didn't push the subject any more.

Shima: -Anyway, I went home yesterday to investigate your claims of a "ai."

Reishi: You did…?

Shima: Yeah it intrigued me to say the least.

Reishi: Shima, You really shouldn't have… I'm pretty sure I'm just crazy and have been hearing things.

Reishi said looking away

Shima: You're not crazy reishi. Don't ever say that about yourself.

Shima declared as she looked into reishi's eyes, causing her to blush.

Reishi: O-Oh?

Shima: At least I have reason to believe you aren't….

Reishi: What do you mean?

Shima: Like I said Well I took your claim about the Ai to heart and decided to investigate the RX-5 and I found something.

Reishi: Y-You found something?

Shima: Yeah… I don't what it is exactly but….

She pulled out a piece of paper from her breasts and showed it to reishi. It had numbers printed on it that ran all the way down.

Reishi: Uh… What I am looking at?

Shima: The source code for the RX-5.

Reishi: This is cool and all but what does this have to do with the ai?

Shima: Notice something odd about the lineage of text?

Reishi: S-Shima. You know i'm not into this techno-stuff like you!

Shima facepalmed.

Shima: God for a girl who's a dueling genius, you sure are technologically stupid.

She insulted.

Reishi: Im...Sorry?

Shima: Baka! *sigh* Let me put it this way, Notice how this paper is mostly 0s and 1s.

Reishi: …. Yeah

Shima: Now look here.

Shima pointed to the third line of text in the paper. On two spots there was a 2 and a 5 mixed in.

Reishi: Oh crap! That is a bit weird!

Shima: And there's a couple more lines where this happens again.

She pointed to a few more lines which had several out of place numbers that weren't 1 or 0.

Reishi: What does this mean?

Shima: It means somehow has been messing with my duel disk-

Shima was interrupted by a yelling voice.
It was was very livid and angry.

Sakoshi: Hamami! Did I tell you to clean in the library!? Get back to sweeping the halls!

Shima: *Sigh* Just meet me at my house later, okay?

Reishi: A-Alright.

Reishi and Shima Now had something to work for, as to abstain from their inner issues they had to find the source of the code.
