Conflict arises

Two weeks have passed since the introduction ceremony and we students began our new daily lives at this prestigious academy. And, I think most have settled into a fairly enjoyable routine despite the challenges that come with this place.


I must say its rather enjoyable being able to simply enjoy the mundanities of this life. Simply, letting the days pass by uninterrupted, without any necessary input from myself. I don't have to do anything, I can do the bare minimum. I can sleep and slack off when I want. I can explore the island to my own amusement. I could make friends and enjoy the frivolity of youth.


Of course these jovial thoughts must come to an end at some point.


"Kukuku. Kukukuku." And there it is. Someone's gone insane. Teacher, please remove him from the class I don't feel safe. It doesn't help that his seat is right next to mine. Just sleep. Look away, if you can't see him, he can't see you. 


With my flawless logic, I simply execute strategy: Sleeping Dogs Lie.


An incredibly effective and drastic measure when dealing with nuisances. Apologies, insane neighbor. But, I'll be ignoring this outburst. No matter what inane things you say.


"As I thought. This school really is interesting. It's more than it shows on the surface that's for sure." Oh good, he started monologuing. Please, whatever God is listening stop him. Don't care how, just do it. I'll forever pledge myself in your service if you do.


"But I bet you dumbasses haven't gathered anything, have you?" Punctuating his question with a slam on his own desk, the surroundings go quiet. Simply staring at the boy as if he was insane. I mean, he is so it's an appropriate response. Me, I'm just going to continue enjoying the cool surface of my own table, whilst executing my own strategy.


"Hah, who the fuck are you talking to, dumbass?" One of the rougher girls from the class spoke up after that dig. Waiting for the boy to elaborate.


Can't you see that's a trap? Just pretend he isn't there, that's the perfect defense.


"Listen up small-fries, I'm gonna take over the class. We'll reach Class A and get the rewards that come with it. You'll all be working for me till then. By the way, this is non-negotiable."


Of course. That caused every one of the more violent students. Of which, there seems to be a skewed amount in this class. To get up and hurl curses towards the idiot that egged them on.


"Kukuku. And the first one I'll get is you."


It's a good thing I can't see where he's pointing, I'm sure that whoever it is will be overcome with grief. My prayers go out to you unfortunate soul.


"I can tell you're awake, you might look dead most of the time but I can still tell."


That still doesn't prove that he's looking at me... Could be someone else pretending to sleep in the class. I'll just open my eyes slowly and check, careful not to move at all.
