Monsters Among Elites - Act One: Blank

Chapter 3 - A Swimmer's Challenge

"Yo, Yamauchi!"

"Ike!" Ike and Yamauchi each wore broad grins reaching the ends of their face, I had no clue why they were in such a good mood prior to today they'd always seemed impassive or uninterested in classroom activities.

In fact they'd even arrived early, usually they'd make it just before the bell, late or not show up at all.

"Whew, man! I was looking forward to today so much that I barely slept last night!"

"Ah ha ha! This school's the best! I can't believe that it's almost time for swimming! And when I saw swimming, I mean girls. And when I mean girls in school swimsuits."

Ah... swimming classes, well rather than a class it was just something that took up a slot in our schedules for today once a month this school made an effort to have students participate in a club activities taking up a period of class this was in order to allow for people who'd missed the club fair to still have a chance to apply and to see if you wanted to join a club by directly experiencing it.

Still I couldn't help but sigh at Yamauchi and Ike's attitudes, I'd thought they'd had something important to say but they spouted about this so proudly. The students around them looked at them with disgusted gazes, they didn't even attempt to hide their motivations.

"...Guess I'm missing swimming class." A girl muttered upfront, several nodded sharing similar sentiments.

I couldn't help but feel bad for them, it seemed that while the majority wanted to attend swimming classes. They couldn't because of Yamauchi and Ike perverse thoughts which didn't guarantee their safety.

"Hey, Professor! Come here for a sec!"

"Uh... you called?"

A chubby boy by the name of Sotomura, who'd apparently been dubbed "The Professor" came over to Ike and Yamauchi as they huddled together... Wait that's Glasses-kun?! No way, Glasses-kun just how powerful are you to make friends that easily?!

"Professor, could you record the girls wearing their swimsuits for us?" Ike asked in a low voice.

Sotomura nodded. "Leave it to me, I'll pretend to be sick so that I can skip class and observe."

"What are you guys doing?" Sudo asked as he approached the group.

"The Professor is going to rank the girls breast size for us. If we're lucky, he'll get some pictures with his phone." Ike responded.

Sudo visibly drew back in response to his words. "Hey, hey."

If the girls found out about their plan I could only imagine what the consequences would be.

"Hey, Sora!" Ike'd called out to Sora who stood up and went over to them. Sora looked at me, and gestured for me to join. I stood up and went to follow him.

"What's up?" I asked.

"To tell you the truth—Guh!?! Ayanokoji!?" Ike said.

"Hey, what's wrong with me?" I deadpanned.

He shooed me away. "Get outta here, this is for us boys only."
