'Its already Hell.' I thought as I stood by the door, watching Nidai and Akane train, with Nidai blowing a hug hole in the wall. It was annoying, having such a commotion going on, couldn't think even, but I was safe as I had brought an umbrella with me. Forecast said that there was chance of rain later tonight, so I just brought it with me. Looking down at the substitute, after she fainted, I just shook my head at her. "This is getting out of hand." I muttered as I smacked some degree away as it came my way.
"What the heck is going-"
Before Yukizome could finish her question, Nidai sent Akane flying to the other side of the room, where she smacked against the chalk board. "GET UP WEAKLING!?" Nidai yelled as he got ready for another round, his eyes generating electricity.
Seeing Akane stand up, using the podium as a helping hand to do so, she wiped her mouth clean. "Oh, I ain't done yet!?" She yelled, jumping up over the podium and getting ready for another round.
"Anyone care to tell me what happened to the wall?" Yukizome questioned, standing next to me.
"Nidai generated an amazing amount of electricity and blew it up, that was ten minutes ago." I informed, with her looking at me with a shocked look.
"As amusing as this is, I guess we got to stop them." Kuzuryu said, sitting down against the wall with his hands behind his head.
"Our substitute teacher fainted right away, all the excitement was too much for her." Sonia informed as she looked up at Yukizome, kneeling next to the substitute with Mikan checking up on her.
"That's enough!" Yukizome said as she ran in front of Nidai. "Listen up, Nidai, you can destroy the classroom just because you feel like rough housing!" She scolded, throwing her arm out to the wall.
Nidai didn't take kindly to her scolding as he looked at her with a glair. "WHAT DID YOU CALL IT!? I'll HAVE YOU KNOW THAT WERE TRAINING FOR REAL LIFE COMBAT CONDITIONS!?" He yelled, pointing out the training to her.
"Oh, in that case, knock yourselves out." She said, walking back over to where I was, away from the fighting.
"So much for that." Kuzuryu said with a dull look, not impressed with what just happened.
"And so the world fell, room by room." Tanaka said, standing against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Dame it all, how am I suppose to drop that gorilla?" Akane asked as she placed her hand on the ground, keeping herself, not giving up.
"I might have something that could fix that conundrum of yours." Hanamura said, sliding next to her with a briefcase, gaining my attention. "Thanks to some help from our Ultimate Pharmacist friend." He said, with me knowing who he was talking about, and WHAT he was talking about as he opened the briefcase, with two bottles inside. One was a green neon color, that strengthened ones strength beyond that of a normal man. The other one was red, with me knowing that one was bad as it basically made anyone who drank it hornier than a pack of rabbits in heat, only the ones with strong wills were able to resist it. "Behold, this special soup is garneted to put some spring into your step." He said, holding up the green bottle.
"You don't have to tell me twice, thank you!" Akane said, taking the bottle from him and chugging the entire bottle down. Once she finished the bottle, you could see the transformation. Her muscles grew larger, her veins popping out from the pure strength flowing through her.
"Uh, Owari?" Yukizome questioned, looking concerned.
As this happened, Mitarai got up and left the classroom, with me looking back at Akane as she gave a yell, shaking the room a bit. Her skin now red and her hair flying into the air, defying gravity. "Wait, what is this shit?" Nidai questioned, raising an eyebrow at what just happened.
"HER FIGHTING POWER IS OFF THE CHART, HES HIT HER FINAL FORM!?" Kazuichi yelled, with me shacking my head.
"Sorry, but her power level is now over nine thousand." I said, giving a small chuckle.
"So my dear, how do you fancy my dope corn soup?" Hanamura asked, taking the bottle from her as she flexed her arm.
"Unimaginable power is flowing through ever part of my body, this is awesome!?" She said, where she then knelt down and charged at Nidai.
Before she could hit him, I stepped in front of her, blocking the punch with the umbrella, shocking everyone. "Sorry, but you lost." I said, shocking her. "See, after drinking that bottle, you suffer from a major stamina drain soon after." I said, shacking my head at her. "Not only that, but the use of drugs is illegal, so I have no choice but to give this win to Nidai." I said, holding my hand up to the bigger man.
"WHAT, THATS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!?" Akane yelled, wide eyed at what just happened, as was everyone else.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT UMBRELLA MADE OF TO WITHSTAND A PUNCH LIKE THAT!?" Nearly all of them yelled as I pushed her fist to the side and then tripped her with the umbrella before placing it over my shoulders, placing both hands on either side of it.
"That is, if Nidai accepts this new challenge?" I said, looking at him, seeing him nod. "Fair game!" I said, jumping over a punch from Akane as she attacked me, where I took the time to open the umbrella, where I glided over to the classroom door while they fought. "I'm out, bye!" I said, waving at them as they caused more destruction.
Once out in the hallway, I closed the umbrella, not caring about the bad luck as it didn't count anymore once the hole was made in the wall. Sitting down against the wall next to the door, I leaned my head back, my hands actually hurting from the vibrations the umbrella gave me after it took that hit. It hurt, but in time it would calm down.
Hearing the door open, I looked up to see Chiaki step out. "So, you two ran away as well." Mitarai said, sitting against the other side of the wall.
"The whole group is so agro, no multiplayer vibe at all." She said, with me nodding in agreement.
"Not to be a downer, but team spirit is kind of wasted on us. Mitarai said, with me looking at him. Were a bunch of prodigies, cherry picked from across japan. With talents like ours, were all on easy street. Seriously, were set for life once we graduate. I'm just running down that clock until we hit that finish line. Not a whole lot of point in making friends, right?" He asked, not bothering to look up from his work.
I shook my head at him, because it wasn't true. "Ya, maybe." Chiaki said, going back to her game, with me looking up at her as she went back to her game. "Doesn't matter, cause I cant make friends gaming anyways." She said, with me narrowing my eyes at what She said.
"You bite your tongue!" Yukizome said, appearing next to her, having came out of the classroom just as She said that. She grabber her by her shoulders and made her face her. "Don't ever say that you cant make friends, got it!" She said, gaining Chiaki's full attention.
"But I cant-"
"That's a load of bull." I said, standing up, with them facing me. "What was yesterday then?" I asked, reminding her of our gaming session. "We became friends, even Hinata became our friend." I reminded, placing my hand over my heart. "Or, did you not consider us friends?" I asked, looking away from her.
"NO!?" She quickly said, catching me off guard at how quick she reacted, and I wasn't the only one she caught off guard as Yukizome was staring at her with wide eyes. "I...mean, that we are friends, but, I'm talking about while playing games." She said, confusing me. "We became friends by getting to know each other while playing games, not just playing games." She said, looking down at her handheld.
"Remember how much fun we had playing the game together, imagine what it would be like if we could involve more people." I said, placing my hands in my pockets and looking to the side.
"We could play...them together!" She said, finally getting it, bringing her handheld closer to her chest.
"I couldn't of said it better my self!" Yukizome said, with me looking at her, seeing her giving me a thumbs up. "Keep up the good work you two, I expect great things from all of you." She said, walking off to continue what she was doing before she came down to check on us.
Looking at Chiaki, I rubber her head, with her blushing and looking down. "I'll catch you later, I have to head to the boys room." I said, turning around and following the same direction as Yukizome. 'She's hiding something, and I'm going to find out what.' I thought, narrowing my eyes.
After following her, without being spotted, I watched as she answered a call, where I hid behind the corner. "-Its sure isn't how I remember it." I heard her say as I leaned closer. "Its changing, metamorphosing really." She said as she stared out the window.
'She's talking about the school, could be an old friend.' I thought as I crouched down.
"That's right. They don't meet the talent requirement, they pay astronomical rates to go here none the less." She said, with me knowing she was talking about the reserves now.
'I need a way to hear the other side of that phone call.' I thought as I narrowed my eyes.
"Whatever is going on here, the board of trusty is keeping it quiet." She said, with me knowing that she was a spy now. "For now, I'll fair it out all that I can about the reserves course, I got a hunch that money isn't the end game." She said as she turned a bit, with me backing up out of sight.
'Good question, where is that money going? The school its self if funded by the government, so it cant be shut down. What is going on here?' I thought as I rubbed my chin in thought. 'Looks like I'm going to need to find out where that money is going and what its being used for.' I thought as I stood up.
"Its up to us to save Hopes Peak." She said, with me knowing that she was a good guy, and something wrong was going on around here, we were just too ignorant to see it. Seeing her looking back out the window, I decided to leave.
Walking down the hallway, I spotted Mahiru walking with lunch in hand. "Hey, going to see Sato?" I asked, catching her off guard as she looked at me.
"Oh, yes, I usually go have lunch with her whenever I can." She said, smiling.
"I'll tag along, but I wont stay long as I have business on that side of the school." I said, following her.
"What do you mean?" She asked, with me shrugging.
"Don't know yet, my guts telling me something might go down, I have yet to figure it out." I said, with her nodding.
"Right, preparing for the worst." She said, with me nodding. "You don't think anything bad will happen...Do you?" She asked, with me looking down at her.
"Honestly, I cant say for sure, but something is telling me to be prepared." I said, with her nodding.
"By the way, Nanami wanted us to tell you to bring your TV to the classroom tomorrow when we saw you." She said, with me nodding.
"I figured she would do something like that." I said, confusing her.
"What is it, because she really didn't share much, other than it was going to be really fun." She said, making me smile. "Something funny?" She asked, with me shacking my head.
"No, I just saw all this coming." I said as we exited the school and made our way to the reserves. 'Just you wait, I'll find out what's going on around here.' I thought with narrowed eyes.
Later
'A hidden underground lab, I'll have to come back with my hacking tool to bypass the security locks.' I thought as I watched people in lab coats walk into a locked room, the only off limits place in the entire Reserves. 'If I'm correct, and I'm guessing here, there will be and underground lab that Is with holding something. There is no vents leading in the room, but through the glass you can see a vent, most likely leading down, so that it can filter the air down there. It will be a tight fit, but I'll be able to fit just fine.' I thought as I turned around and crawled away through the vents, having found a mystery that needed to be solved.
As I was making my exit, I stopped once I saw an old man leading Hinata to the room, but stopped just outside of it, gaining my attention. 'Hinata, please tell me you're not involved!' I thought, watching them exchange some words before splitting up, with the man going into the lab and Hinata continuing on, thinking about something...hard. 'I'll find out tomorrow.' I thought as I took my leave.
The next day
Hiding in the bushes, I watched Hinata like a hawk, with him laying down on the bench. I watched as Yukizome approached him with a smile. "Hinata!" She said, leaning over him, giving him a bit of a scare as he sat up quight quickly.
"What was that for!?" He questioned, looking back at her.
"That's what you get for lazing your life away!" She said as she placed her hand on her hips. "You should be forging precious memories, but you're slumped on a bench all alone!" She said, giving a light glair.
"Well, what about you...you're all by your self so there." He shot back, looking away, but keeping his eyes on her.
"Ya, but that's because I wanted to pick your brain about school stuff." She said, taking a seat next to him. "Now level with me, what about the reserve course appealed to you?" She asked, with me knowing she was trying to get information out of him, but wasn't sure what kind of information it was.
Hinata gave a sigh in reply. "The same thing as everyone else I guess." He said, looking down with his eye closed. "I had my eyes set on Hopes Peak ever since I was a little kid." He said, like most kids in Japan.
"And that's why you enrolled in the reserve course?" She asked, getting far off topic.
"That's right, but now I cant find my resolve." He said, with me frowning at that, because having a resolve was easy, finding one was hard.
"Resolve for what, they don't give you the option to be apart of the main course if you do well enough, do they?" She asked, with her completely shooting for information she thought it could lead to.
He was caught off guard by her question. "I wish." He said, looking away from her again. "But I don't get why you're interested in a scrub like me anyhow." He said, with me closing my eyes as he thought of his self like that.
"Don't be like that!" She nearly yelled, getting in his face, shocking him. "I better not hear you call yourself that ever again, young man!" She said, holding a finger up to his face.
"But that's what I am!"
"Self confidence is the key to getting anywhere in life, and don't you forget it!" She said, giving him some wise knowledge. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "Understood!" She said, wanting an answer.
"u-um...L-loud a-and clear, ma'am!" He said, getting a bit scared of her.
"Much better!" She said, backing off with a light laugh. "Oh, right, I guess I should get back to my class, we'll pick this conversation up later, ok!" She said, taking off with a light run.
I too was about to leave, not wanting her to see that I was missing from the others, but something caught my attention. "She's a fire cracker, that girl." A voice spoke, with me seeing the old man that was with Hinata yesterday, where I instantly got a bad feeling. "Always has been." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at him.
"Tengan-San!" He said, with me getting the name and a bit closer to solving the mystery.
"Room on that bench for an old man?" He asked, taking a seat next to Hinata, where I knew he was going to spill something as, to them, they were alone. They sat in silence for a bit, but I wasn't moving until they talked. "The dead line is coming up, have you settled on an answer?" He asked, with me knowing he was offering him a deal.
"No, not yet." Hinata replied, looking calm.
"So I see." Tengan said with a nod. "As one of the schools advisers, I probably shouldn't say this. The truth be known, I'm not particularly enthused about that project." He said, with me narrowing my eyes as it sounded like he was manipulating him.
"Really?" Hinata asked as he looked at Tengan.
"Hope comes from people acting like people, that's all there is too it." He informed, with me nodding as that was true, but the same could be said for despair. "You're free to decline if you don't want to." He said, with me looking at Hinata.
'Sorry Hinata, but I'm going to be using you as my secret mole, not even you will know this.' I thought, part of me telling me that it was a bad idea, but the other half told me it was a good idea and I could bring the entire school down for something big.
"Its just...the fees are so high, my family could never afford it." Hinata said, where I knew he was talking about him currently being in the reserves, meaning he might have to leave, and that would make Chiaki and I sad.
"You could return to your former high school and forget all this." Tengan said, looking at him.
"Too late for that, I'm here!" Hinata said, with me knowing he was going to be in trouble, and I was going to form a plan to save him when it went too deep.
"Changing the fabric of who you are, shouldn't be done on a whim." Tengan said, confusing me on what this deal was. "There is no shame in normalcy." He said, striking the nail in as Hinata's eyes widened, he nodded, and I knew his fate was sealed, where I then ran off to return to the classroom, having to run as fast as I could to beat Yukizome.
Later
"Dude, this is way more fun then playing the AI!" I heard Kazuichi as I walked in, only for my eyes to widen at what used to be MY TV!?"
THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY TV!?" I yelled in shock, seeing that it was three times its size.
"Oh, you took your time!" Sonia said, turning to face me. "Sorry about that, Kazuichi made a major upgrade to it, we wanted to get your permission first, but he insisted." She said, with me walking over to them and standing next to Chiaki.
"Its fine, Chiaki, you could of texted me about it!" I said, with her looking up at me.
"I never got your number." She said, with me face palming as that was my fault.
"Right, here." I said, taking a pen out and writing it on her hand, getting a blush from her. "Now you have my number." I said, blushing as well.
"IBUKI WANTS IN!?" Ibuki yelled, jumping onto my back and taking my pen, where she then put her number on my neck with something else. "There, we can now call each other!" She said, smiling like crazy.
'Moment ruined.' I thought, looking at her with a smile. "I'll be sure to add it into my phone later." I said, with her nodding and watching the game, where Nagito sent the poverty god and stole all of Kazuichi's money.
Later, next game
"Racing games are my jam!" Ibuki declared, being in first for the good part of it.
"On your left." Chiaki said, driving past her.
"That was a fluke!"
"On your right!" Yukizome said, driving past her.
"Lot of flukes going around!" Ibuki said, freaking out. "That's It, I'm shelling you punks!" She said, but then was hit behind by Saionji, knocking her off the map. "I hate you all so much!?"
"Here." I said, picking Ibuki up and placing her in my lap as I sat in her spot, placing my hands over hers. "Let me help you." I said, looking over at the little devil as she smirked.
"I win." Chiaki said with a smile.
"I got second place!" Yukizome said with a grin.
"Alright, back on track!" Ibuki said, where I spotted Saionji coming back. Hitting the reverse, I ended up spinning around her as I used Ibuki's fingers to drive, shocking Saionji as she went off the map. "YA!?" She cheered, with me pinching her cheek.
"Just shut up and drive." I said, with us taking off.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU PULL THAT OFF!?" Saionji yelled, looking at me with wide eyes.
"Its like driving a real car, you just got to know how." I said, with Ibuki getting third.
"You've driven a car, but you're too young!" Yukizome said, with me looking at her from my spot.
"Where I grew up, age didn't matter." I said, with Kazuichi placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Its actually a long story, he doesn't like talking about it." He said, shocking her.
"who all knows about his past!?" She questioned, looking at the others. Only a few of them raised there hands. "Well, what can you tell me?" She asked, looking over at me.
"Nothing, I don't trust you enough to tell." I said, shocking her.
Later
"Funny how its called bomber guy, but none of the boys are playing!" Mahiru said with a smile as she played.
"Its kind of like a girls night out, isn't it?" Sonia asked as she played with her.
"Kind of exploded for a night out Sonia." Mahiru said, making a pun.
I just watched as Mikan kept putting bombs everywhere, where she ended up killing the others. 'I don't know what this game is, or the point behind it is.' I thought, walking over to the door as I smelt something good. Opening the door, I stared at Saionji and Hanamura standing there, with Hanamura holding a pot. "Sup." I said, stepping aside so that they could come in.
"Hey you class, whos down for some lunch!" Hanamura said as he lifted the top of the pot, filling the room with a delicious smell. "Feast your eyes on my-"
"Beef potato stew." I said, knowing that he was going to same something that the others didn't know, and I didn't know what he was gong to say either.
"I helped him make it, so I know what's up!" Saionji said, with me getting suspicious already.
"Well, it dose look like the work of the ultimate cook." Yukizome said as she examined the stew.
"Thank Chiaki, she's the one who told Teruteru that we needed to get our grub on!" Ibuki said as she walked over to Yukizome.
"Really, Nanami?" Yukizome asked, surprised.
"She did." Peko said as she stood next to me now. "We got so focused fixing the classroom that we didn't have the time to eat a proper meal." She informed, with me looking at her, seeing her blushing.
"I didn't want you guys to get hungry while playing Video Games, that's all." Chiaki said, where she was suddenly hugged by Sonia.
"You're the best, you know that!?" Sonia said, where the entire room started to shake, with me looking at Akane, seeing her drooling all over the floor.
"No, it cant be!" Tanaka said, gaining my attention as he held his arms out, holding his hamsters. "Has the demon king finally crawled his way up from the nine Hells so that he can reek his chaos upon this world!?" He said, with Nidai holding up Akane by her shirt.
"It just her stomach!" He informed, dismissing Tanaka in an instant.
"I made this giant pot, so eat to your hearts desires!" Hanamura informed, with Akane exploding with excitement soon after.
Few minutes later
Each of us had a plate, sitting in a circle. I sat between Chiaki and Mahiru, with Chiaki to my right and Mahiru to my left. Going from Mahiru's left, was Saionji, Hanamura, Mikan, Mitarai, Nagito, Peko, Kuzuryu, Ibuki, Akane, Nidai, Kazuichi, Tanaka, Sonia, and finally Yukizome.
"Alright, does everyone have a plate?" Yukizome asked, looking at everyone. "Now, put your hands together." She said, with everyone doing so at the same time.
"THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD!?" We all said at one.
"GIVE ME SOME SECONDS!?" Akane said before I could take my first bite, and I knew something was wrong, I didn't know what, but as soon as I tasted it, it felt off.
"I've had better." Chiaki said, with me looking at her, seeing that she was starting to blush.
"Its great, I cant wipe this grin off my face!" Sonia said as she played with her hair.
"Me neither, we have so much in common!" Kazuichi said, pointing at his face as he grinned even more.
Dropping my plate, I grabbed my chest as I felt my heart rate pick up, crazy fast. 'Shit, we've been drugged!?' I thought, watching as the plate broke on the floor. Looking at Saionji, I saw her showing Hanamura a bottle. 'Well played, but I'm not out!' I thought, falling onto my back.
"I feel like I'm on fire, but not BBQ, more like Sexy fire!" Ibuki declared, with me rolling over and dragging Chiaki to the other side of the room as she grabbed hold of my leg, making my way towards my bag. Once I passed Ibuki, she fell onto my back, with me dragging her with me as she cuddled on my back. "Come on, I'll be your sexy fire for life!" She said, with me reaching my bag and knocking it over, with a needle falling out. Taking it, I bit the tip and pulled it off, I aimed to give it to Chiaki first, but then there wouldn't be a way to control me, so I gave it to my self as it was the only one, with me passing out soon after.
Later
Waking up with a jolt, I sat up, finding myself in the medical room. 'What happened, where am I!?' I thought, looking around, seeing Ibuki, Nagito and Chiaki in the other beds. 'That's right, Saionji drugged us.' I thought, placing my hand on my neck, feeling teeth marks on it. 'Either Chiaki or Ibuki bit me, and judging by how my sleeve is nearly torn, almost raped.' I thought, throwing the covers off me and standing up, only to fall to the ground. 'Shit, that's right, no feeling in my legs for a good ten hours.' I thought, crawling past the beds and making my way to the door.
"You ok?" I heard, with me turning to the beds and seeing Chiaki looking at me, with me looking at the door.
"I...cant feel my legs." I said, with her getting up and making her way over to me, wobbling as well.
"Here, let me help you." She said, grabbing one of my arms and helping me up, where she started dragging me over to the bed she came from.
She laid me down, then slipped into the bed, shocking me. "Chiaki-"
"Shhh!" She said, laying down on my shoulder. "I'm tired." She said, passing out, with me blushing and looking away, where I saw Ibuki stand up and started walking around in circles.
'She's sleepwalking?' I thought seeing her playing the air guitar, before smashing it on the ground. She then jumped onto the bed that we were on, landing on my legs. 'Great, I'm trapped.' I thought, looking between them. 'Well, guess I'm going back to sleep.' I thought, closing my eyes as well.
The next day
Waking up, I came face to face with Chiaki, who just woke up as well. We both blushed, with us looking away as it was sudden and embarrassing sharing a bed with a girl. Looking down, we both heard Ibuki snoring, laying on our legs. "We're trapped." She said, with me getting an Idea.
Messing with the pillow, I was fortunate that it was a feather pillow. Taking a feather out, I tickled her nose, with her rolling off us and onto the floor. "We're free, lets get out of here!" I said, trying to move, but my right leg was still numb. 'She said ten hours!?' I thought, annoyed that the effect was longer that it was suppose to be.
Standing up, I hopped over to the wall while Chiaki stood up like normal, stretching. "Are you ok?" She asked once I reached the wall.
"Kind of, my right leg is still numb." I said, using the wall for support. "Mind taking me to the classroom?" I asked, looking over at her with a small smile.
"I'LL DO IT!?" Ibuki yelled as she jumped up from the other side of the bed, then looked confused. "Wait, do what exactly?" She asked, looking between us. "Hey, where are we and what happen...I remember everything!?" She yelled, blushing up a storm and then running out.
"Well, she's energetic." I said, giving a small laugh as Chiaki wrapped her arm around my waist to hold me up and helped me to the class.
Later, class
"Ok, lets see some smiling faces out there!" Yukizome said, with almost all of our heads down, Sonia and I were the only ones up.
"How the hell can you be so perky after what happened yesterday?" Kazuichi asked as he looked at Yukizome.
"I don't want to spell it out for you, but... This wasn't my first Rodeo." She said, with me shacking my head as that was probably true.
"Interesting." Sonia said, thinking about it. "That must be why Dakota and I are awake as well!" She said, with everyone looking at me as I was fully awake, with feelings in both legs now.
"So wait, you've been to the rodeo?" Kazuichi asked, then looked at me. "What the hell happened!?" He asked, pulling his hair as he couldn't figure it out.
"Listen up, before we start today, I have an announcement I want to make!" Yukizome said, gaining everyone's attention. "I should probably ask for volunteers or some junk, but I think my ways is going to be a lot more fun!" She said, with me suppressing a yawn as I was still tired.
"What are you going on about?" Nidai asked as he leaned to the side a bit, worn out from yesterday like the others.
"Our class needs an official representative, and who better to rep this room than Chiaki Nanami!" Yukizome said, gaining the girls attention as she was playing her game.
"Huh, I don't wanna." Chiaki said, looking at me. "I nominate Dakota, he's better-"
"Chiaki, you're the one who took care of the class in their time of need." I cut off, looking at her. "Besides, I don't know the first thing about being a class rap or whatever it is." I said, giving her a smile. "Trust me, you're more suit for the job than any of us."
"You would be perfect for it, Nanami!" Sonia said as she turned to face the girl.
"I second that, because She said it!" Kazuichi said as he gave a fist pump.
"I got nothing against it!" Akane said as she face the girl with a smile.
"Ya, she'll rock that shit!" Nidai said as he looked at her.
"Dakota would just bring us down, so I'm going with Nanami." Kuzuryu said, his feet on the deck and hands behind his head.
"She has my approval." Peko said with a nod.
"This chicks on board for both!" Ibuki said as she stood up with a grin.
"Ditto!" Mahiru said, nodding to the both of us.
"Ok, why not." Saionji said, looking over at Nanami.
"You're a hit!" Hanamura said, giving her a two finger salute.
"I think I'm in favor too." Nagito said as he facer her as well, giving her a smile.
"Ya, I think Nanami is a safe bet." Mikan said, looking between us.
"Well, if this is to be our fate, then let it come." Tanaka said, his arms crossed and eyes closed.
"I could think of a lot worse people for the job." Mitarai said as he turned around to look at her.
"Well, Nanami, what's the verdict?" Yukizome asked, approaching the gamer girl. "Sounds like your classmates are all on board. What do you say, player one?" She said, smiling down at the girl.
It was quiet, and Chiaki as thinking about it, hard. "Ya, I'll do it." She said, not sounding very happy about it.
"Alright, no take backs!" Yukizome said, standing up straight, only to stop what she was going as Nagito started clapping, gaining all of our attention.
"I'm sorry, this moment is just so beautiful." He said, still clapping.
"Before Nagito confuses us." I said, standing up and walking over to Chiaki's desk, gaining her attention. "What he intends to say is, you are our beacon of hope, and our light." I said, giving her a hug, one she returned almost instantly.
Later
Waiting at the gate with Chiaki, I spotted Hinata walking up to us. Poking her side, I watched her look up at me, then over at Hinata. "Oh, hey Hinata!" She said, smiling at him. "A new fighting game just opened up at the arcade, want to come with us?" She asked, smiling at him.
"I would...Its just, I'm terrible at those games." He said, with me wrapping an arm around his shoulders.
"Trust me, I'm worse than you, and its not about being good at it." I said, looking at Chiaki.
"What matters is playing with friends." We said at the same time, smiling.
