Walking towards his classroom with stiff shoulders and a straight back, everyone knows this is Mako Ishikawa's way of showing his status as a student. Straight A average, excellent at sports, he's the perfect classmate any teacher could ever have. Well, besides Taichi.
He hated Taichi with all his heart. Unlike Taichi to him, he had a hard time communicating to others since he was bullied for seemingly causing his older sister's decade long coma. He immediately envied the 16 year old jock once he laid his eyes on Yagami. But most importantly, he hated a specific online artist: BlazingRing52.
He can't explain to anyone how many times Mia, Riza and Nimune would go up to him, Markus, and Blake just to ram about the artist's music. He just can't understand; this is the age of technology, so why would anyone listen to those boring orchestras that would seemingly repeat the same melody over and over again? He just can't.
He was walking to his classroom when he heard a melody coming from the music room.
He groaned to himself.
Not another boring piano arrangement!
He took interest in the music until he couldn't hold his curiosity anymore. He peeked into the door and saw none other than Yagami strolling the piano keys and playing the instrument.
He couldn't believe it! How could Yagami Taichi, number one student in all sports and academics and his rival, love that type of utter nonsense melody? And to think, he probably is a fan of that cursed artist too!
This is a nightmare! My rival out of all the people in this school likes BlazingRing52?! Impossible, this can't be!
His face reddened at every thought that came out and he stormed out in anger.
