In A Corner Of The World

...Gather In Preperation

"Lady Maria will be in charge of manpower then. Habrel is in charge of creating the announcement posters. Lord Repo will work on getting the supplies and..."

The meeting had actually gotten pretty far with only one of the walls completely blown through this time. Caelus could say it was an improvement from last year's man made disasters.

Everything was probably more in order because Eve was more familiar with using her restraining magic on the members. It also helped that if anyone had a complaint with her they could just duel and promptly lose miserably; the academy was a lot of things and a ruthless military school was one of them.

"...and Caelus will be on invitation duty."

"?!"

Everyone looked over, shocked, at the revelation that just happened. Caelus, the most anti-social member of the RSC, was suppose to give out invitations?!? We're talking about the guy that will ignore your existence the whole time you're talking to him unless you're his family ya know!

The other representatives could only silently question if Eve had gone crazy over the events that happened over the past year. They only needed a moment before she began explaining why she chose this role for him specifically.

"You've been close with the hero right? Can you ask him if he can spread the news? I have no doubts he's well connected with his classmates at this point. I heard your brother has also enrolled into the school as a first-year. Please get him to spread the news to his classmates as well."

Caelus's pen finally stopped for the first time since he'd originally sat down. His face that was usually blocked was finally lifted and the rest of the representatives were practically leaning over backwards to see Caelus's reaction.

"Hm."

A nod and a small hum. And then his hand was writing again. Was that even talking? Did he even acknowledge what they said, simply agreeing because he heard his name, the hero, and his brother mentioned?

What kind of freezing anti-social attitude was this that he carried? It completely contradicted how he rarely talked to the people around him. This wasn't even a sentence!

But still! He still acknowledged the request! So it meant Caelus was aware of his surroundings after all, but still didn't care about the chatter that happened around him?!

It could only spell disaster for the students that actually thought he was disassociated with reality and only paid attention to his notebook. Seriously, the clues were there. He still took notes during class, participated in practices, and even gained an understanding of what to do during war zone levels of fighting, particularly from the representatives.

No wait! This academy is going to be a war zone if this fact gets out. Not to mention their secret conversations and actions they did while Caelus was in hearing range it's not certain more than a few students had the same thought!

Let's not even mention the biggest pain would be his brothers. If they(brothers) found out they(students) involved their brother into others' political and private matters it might as well be goodbye life from there!

If everyone collectively tried their sweat could probably make a smelly swimming pool for them to drown themselves in first. A moment of silence was given before everyone all looked at each other.

'We can't let this fact out!'

No matter what, they didn't see or hear anything. Eve assigned Caelus to take the job and that was the end of the memory, there was no acknowledgment, let's cut that out of the memory strip.

And with that agreement everyone decided to be each others' accomplices. Everyone would keep in check the talkative members and keep silent. They play together, they die together.
