3rd POV
Yap: For now, though? It's mostly at the drawing board stage. How long will it take is a thing I've to consider, along with the safety of everyone in my surroundings. But of course, that is a story for another day.
The first day of another new schooling week arrived, and a fragile calm settled over the academy. Yap, having spent the weekend recovering as fast as possible.
Yap: [I'll be relinquishing this position of class representative. It was my fault that it managed to leak out AND took control.]
As Yap entered the classroom, he felt the curious gazes of his classmates and the subtle whispers that followed his every step. News of the incident with Lingyin and Yalter had spread like wildfire, making him the center of attention. The weight of everyone's expectations, coupled with the uncertainty of Yalter's next appearance, lingered in the air.
Houki, Ichika, Cecilia, along with the rest of the students of Class 1-1 exchanging concerned glances as Yap took his place. The tension in the room was palpable, but Yap greeted his friends with a determined smile, attempting to reassure them that he had everything under control.
3 minutes before class actually began, Yap gets from his seat and walked to the front of the class.
Maya: Yap?
Chifuyu: (Slightly narrowing her eyes) [Is he doing what I think he's trying to do..?]
Yap silently takes a deep breath as he mentally prepares himself.
Yap: Everyone, I wish you a good morning. I do have an announcement to make. And this announcement only concerns the whole of Class 1-1, at least as far as I know after much consideration.
Everyone leans in ever so slightly, wanting to hear what their class representative has to say.
Yap: Because of a certain incident that happened the other day, some of our students from our class has witnessed how a class representative should NOT behave. I myself broke that rule. And as such..
He now audibly takes a deep breath and clears his throat.
Yap: This is the first and last time you'll hear this from me, Class 1-1, including Miss Orimura and Miss Yamada. I, Yap, hereby relinquish my position as the class representative of Class 1-1.
The shockwave of Yap's announcement reverberated through the room. Students exchanged wide-eyed glances, processing the unexpected turn of events. Houki's brows furrowed in concern, and Ichika's eyes widened with disbelief. Cecilia, usually poised and confident, looked genuinely taken aback.
Even the artificial intelligence system within Yap's personal IS, SoVR, displayed a flicker of surprise. Its virtual interface momentarily glitched before stabilizing, attempting to comprehend the unforeseen announcement from its pilot.
SoVR: You.. can't be serious? Over such an incident?
Yap: [SoVR, if news of this gets out, it'll only paint Class 1-1 in a negative light. I'm making sure we'll steer clear of treacherous waters first.]
SoVR's interface displayed a momentary pause, almost as if the AI was contemplating Yap's reasoning. The virtual avatar tilted its head, a gesture that mirrored confusion.
SoVR: But your position as the class representative is an integral part of maintaining the image of Class 1-1. Is this not an extreme measure?
Yap sighed, his gaze briefly shifting to the reactions of his classmates still grappling with the shock of his announcement.
Yap: [SoVR, sometimes drastic measures are necessary to prevent further damage. I'll find a way to make it up to the class, but for now, this decision stands.]
