Third Person POV

Ranpo sat, tapping his feet together in his seat. He could feel several eyes on him which he'd usually be a fan of such attention, this wasn't any kind of attention he wanted. 

He was just 19 and already in his last year of college in a foreign country. Most of his time spent here he was belittled by bullies for being younger than everyone else as well as the occasional racist remark, all of which he ignored for the most part. 

He wasn't paying attention to the lecture though, instead he was glancing at the door, then the clock, and then back at the door again. 

'When is he coming? There's so many questions I have for him! I wanna see if this guy actually deserves his ranking-' Ranpo had managed to learn of the top ranking student of four years and what his schedule was, luckily finding out they shared several of the same classes. He wanted to test his knowledge, assuming if he could best him in some sort of test most would give up on their attempts to belittle him. 

The middle door opened first, the tall and almost brooding looking goth walked in, looking for a seat away from everyone. Ranpo waved his hand ecstatically at him while patting the empty seat beside him. 

Poe looked behind himself and on either side, realizing no one was next to him and pointed to himself. 

Ranpo nodded and continued to wave him over until Poe finally started to slowly walk over, at first attempting to take a seat that was close but not directly next to him, only for Ranpo to move over one to sit next to him. 

"Hey! You are the number one of this school right?" Ranpo half-whispered. 

Poe leaned slightly back from him. "Umm… yes… Look I don't accept money for homework so-" 

Ranpo frowned immediately. "What? I'm not some idiot." 

Poe blushed slightly, becoming flustered. "I-I didn't say you were! I just-" 

Ranpo put a hand on his shoulder. "I wanna compete against you!" 

Poe stopped. "Compete against me..?" 

Ranpo nodded. "Yup, I wanna see how smart you really are." 

Poe gave a quick up and down look over Ranpo. "Uh, how old are you? Are you even old enough to be in these classes?" 

"I'm 19! I would have been here at 16 if the government would have allowed it-" Ranpo frowned. "I hate waiting, three years has been BORING, I want some ACTION." He tapped on Poe's desk. "Say I hear you got some sort of ability, I bet I could beat that too." 

Poe looked away. "I guess I could do a competition… I'd have to find some sort of test, or maybe we both make a test for each other?" Poe muttered to himself before Ranpo got his attention again at the mention of his ability. "Ah, I do, but I think it would be too unfair… I wouldn't want to risk hurting anyone."

Ranpo laid his head on his own desk and looked at Poe. "Tell me about it, I bet I can if it's not like, a fighting ability, I'm super smart but like, that doesn't help against uhh fire balls or something-" 

Poe sighed. "Perhaps I'll tell you if you beat me." 

Ranpo's eyes lit up. "When, I beat you." 

Poe had a slight grin. "If." 

Ranpo narrowed his eyes at him before turning to face the front of the class, looking down at the large projected screen and professor talking about things Ranpo had already known. He leaned back in a bored sigh and rummaged through his bag for something to snack on.
