A few days have passed since the mock combat exam. The students attended and participated in their classes diligently. Currently, the first-year Paladins are conducting a meeting in their common room. The class has been tasked with electing a representative who will serve as a liaison between the teachers and the students. As well as acting as the sort of 'leader' of the whole group.
"I think it's obvious who should represent us, no?" White Mask says with a smug smile.
"We should put that to vote," Wildlife requests.
"I should bring up that four heads are better than one," Double Trouble points out. Cloning himself three times.
"Okay, new plan," Gateway sighs, "how about we do nominations?"
"I would like to nominate White Mask then," Sure Shot raises his hand.
"Of course you do," Smokescreen rolls her eyes.
"Alright, White... Mask," Gateway writes down, "anyone else?"
"I think you'd be a great president, Gateway," Magnetic Monopole comments.
"Thanks, MM. Me," Gateway takes note of.
"I've got a lucky feeling about Double Trouble, so him please!" Fortune smiles as he salutes D.T.
"Fine with me, Double... Trouble," Gateway lists down.
"Isn't this part where we close the nominations?" Techno-Knight Julia raises her hand. Loudly chewing her gum.
"Seconded," Smokescreen remarks.
"Sure. That's me, White Mask, and Double Trouble. All in favor of me?" Gateway asks.
Six students raise their hands.
"White Mask?"
Three students raise their hands.
"D.T.?"
Six students raise their hands.
"Wait, that's a tie between D.T. and me. So those who voted for White Mask, please reconsider. "
A small laugh can be heard within the common room. White Mask quickly turns to spot the culprit, but he can't seem to pin it down. He crosses his arms and furrows his brow.
"Who's for D.T.?"
Seven students raise their hands.
"And for me?"
Eight students raise their hands.
"Well, that's settled. I'll be the class representative moving forward. So, fuck," Gateway puts his palm on his face as the class gives him a round of applause.
"What's next on the agenda, president Gateway?" Smokescreen laughs.
"I don't fucking know. All Aegis said was to elect a class representative. With that done, you can all go," Gateway remarks as he leaves the common room.
With the meeting done, some students leave, while others linger around the common room. Smokescreen approaches the remote as she opens the T.V. It starts playing a movie titled 'Streetwise, Nucifera.'
They watch on as Streetwise carries a girl with short black hair and glasses. She lays motionless, her eyes devoid of life. He hugs her tight and removes his mask, revealing a British guy. He raises his fist in the air, screaming,
"Curse you Detour! You killed the only woman I ever loved!"
The camera pans to Detour, a wretched villain wearing white and red. He cackles as he runs away. Streetwise puts the girl down and chases the villain till the ends of the Earth.
