Classroom Of The Elite: The Future Holds (Returned)

SS3 - Pianorikachi

So... basically, Torikachi knows how to play piano, but not professionally. Only knows to play some tracks fluently because practicing what track he likes.

Enjoy.

===========================================================================

POV: Torikachi

It's currently 4:00 PM the next day. Yesterday was quite a stunt, to be honest.

Speaking of it, I haven't played the piano for a long time, since I came to this world. I don't want to brag about it, but I practiced a lot in my world.

I remembered there's a piano on the cruise. According to Vol. 4,5 of 2nd year, it should be somewhere around here...

I look at the map of the cruise, locating the piano's location. I hope I won't attract too much attention during this time of the day.

I saw the piano room in front of my eyes. I guess I should play for a measly 30 minutes.

I have a few tracks in mind, such as Flower Dance, Kaleidoscope, Maelstrom, .etc

I thought about Fur Elise for a moment, but that's common for piano players. I decided to play something a bit uncommon. Those I think of are quite hard to master though, but my time of practicing is worth it.

I open the piano, deciding what to play.

'That's it, I'm going to play Starless Night by Plum.' I thought. The track is quite long, but it's for a warm-up before I play other tracks.

(Credits to Plum for creating this amazing track. Most of his/her creation fits my ears.)

I continued playing the piano, as I dive into my own world. Putting myself in such an illusion that separates myself and reality.

Maelstrom, Kaleidoscope, Rainbow Chaser, .etc (all from Plum)

After all those tracks, I decided to play the last one. Not from Plum, but this sounds great.

I finished my illusion world, as I close my piano. I hear people clapping their ass chee- I mean clapping their hands, creating applause.

"I never expect someone who plays the piano so delicately." Said, someone. I think I remember her: Nishikawa Ryuko, an A-class student. As I heard from most fanfic, she's quite a talent in violin. "Where did those songs come from?? I never once heard it before, and well-played."

"Oh..." I pondered. "Can you wait for me for a few seconds?" I need to confirm Plum's music if it exists in this world.

...

Apparently, those songs aren't in this world. I'm quite surprised.

Now I don't know how to respond. Since I don't want to be labeled as a prodigy, since it would be troublesome for me in the future.

"E-Etou..." I start to come up with a lie as I scratch my cheek. "Those... are from an artist I admired, but I don't want the person to get exposed, the person said I'm free to play this any time I wanted."

I hope my lie is believable.

"O-oh..." She murmured. "It's fine. It's for that person's privacy."
