COTE: The Mad Demon

Chapter 21 - Class B

Okuma POV

After causing a ruckus on Class C, I decided to head on another class. This will be my last destination since the sun started to set. The next class I decided to head into is none other than Class B.

My encounter to the previous class wasn't fruitful as most of them are tight-lipped about it. I hope that in the next class, I might found something as usual.

As I reached Class B, I knocked on their door and after for a minute, someone opened it. It was a girl with violet eyes and violet hair tied in a pig tails.

"Oh, you're here, you bastard". She cussed at me.

"That's not how you treat visitors. And bastard? What's your problem, Emo girl?". I argued at her.

"Not unless you take back what you called at me".

"You said it first, why should I?".

After having a stand-off with this girl, she clicked her tongue before she surrendered.

"Fine, Okuma. You win". She said, raising her up to the air while pouting in defeat.

"Glad that you understand, Yuki-san".

The girl I talked to was none other than Yuki Himeno. Her appearance is similar to an Emo, but is still relatively normal. Compared to other Emos, who thinks that the world is dark and hopes are crushed, she didn't think anything that complicated. She conversed normally like a normal girl, but she didn't have many friends because she didn't like many people bundled around her. Like flies hovering around a well-lited lamp post.

Surprisingly, her taste was way simpler than I thought as her interest are centered around kittens, not, ehem, "those" kind of things.

"Come inside". She gestured me to enter inside the classroom.

As I walked inside, the students of Class B are currently few as most of them probably went back to their dorm rooms. Looking at their appearances, I can say that these guys didn't hold back at all. Most of them has colored hair while most of the girls wore shorter skirts. As if the skirts provided by the school wasn't short enough. Yuki-san included.

However, there's a saying "Don't judge a book by its cover". Despite their appearances, they are still students from Class B. Even the person with the most odd make-up might be a legendary hermit that we still didn't know of as of yet.

"Okuma-kun, you're here!".

I turned towards the source of the exclamation. It was a girl with short brown hair with eyes dyed in red.

"What are you doing here, Kushida?". I asked.

"We were looking for information regarding Sudou and your case. These guys also helped me". She said, pointing on Ike, Yamauchi, and Ayanokouji.

"Yo". Greeted Ayanokouji as he waved his hand. I also responded in kind.

"I see. Please continue on what you're doing".

Going towards the windows and leaning on it, I saw a bunch of students on the track ran a whole lap against their competitors. Looking at their sweaty attire, I can say that they really did try their best on that activity.

"What are you looking at?". Yuki-san asked, curious at my point of sight.

"Just people running".

"Oh, you mean the track-and-field club?".

"Yeah, I guess so". So they were the track-and-field club members huh? It should've been obvious since they were literally in a "track".

"Speaking of clubs, did you join one?" I asked Yuki-san.

"I didn't. I just don't want to". She heaved a sigh, who seems tired about thinking of doing something taxing.

"Heh, lazy bum". I teased her with ridicule.

At my comment, she shot me a sharp glare.

"How about you, then? What clubs are you joining?".

"I didn't join one. It's tiring". I said. Basically saying the same thing as her.

"Heh, aren't you also a lazy bum?". She countered, having another bullet to counter to shot me at my statement.

"I could join any club I have in mind if I want to, you know? Rather, if I'm serious enough, I would be elected as a regular player immediately". I boasted.

Though, if I release my restraints and letting myself roam freely, the club moderators will instead grovel at my feet, begging me to be their player at their respective clubs. Not that I brag about it, I'm just stating the truth.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Even you didn't feel tired when I chased you last time". Yuki sighed, agreeing at my previous boasting.

Oh right. It was about that time, huh?

She then looked at me again. "Well, assuming that what you said was true, you could've raked many points especially if you won at the finals as a champion or a runner-up".

"Wait, really?". I asked her.

"Yes, if you're qualified on some rounds, you can earn points. More if you won as the champion of that competition".

When she mentions it, I remembered a detail from the novel where points could also be earned through club activities.

"Where did you hear that from?".

"From our teacher during the first day of school, of course. Didn't your teacher informed you guys about it?". She asked with her brow raised.

"Unfortunately, we aren't".

Damn, our teacher is totally merciless! As if she expected that no one will become a champion from our class. She didn't even bother informing us. It's like the complaining tone of her students were music to her ears.

If she's so good at hiding information, she could've been a greatest spy that could be used against the enemy countries for gathering info and weaknesses about them.

Though, she wasn't a horrible teacher, except her personality, but she teaches like a real professional. It's just that her profession was misplaced because of her sadistic nature, in all honesty.

When I already have the information I needed, I bid farewell to Yuki. "Welp, since I already found what I needed, I'll head out now. See you next time".

"Yeah, likewise".

TO BE CONTINUED.

Note: I removed the character in this chapter since it was very unecessary in my opinion.
