COTE: Elite Masters

Ch 5 - New Acquaintances

I was heading to the convenience store alone since Eiichiro was planning to watch some of the battles in the battle arena.

On my way there I saw the red haired boy in my class sitting on a bench.

Then three upperclassmen went near the bench he was seating at which they told him off.

"Hey move first year, this spot is ours" one of them said.

"Fuck off! I was here first." he yelled at them.

He seems to be a person who gets easily pissed off by little things.

"Didn't you hear what he said, he said to leave and scram in another direction." another one said.

He proceededly threw his cup noodles which he was eating a while ago.

"Want to fight me you ass" he scowled at them.

"Hahahahaha! He says that he wants to fight us, bet his from class D." one of them laughed at him.

"So what does that have to do with anything" he growled at them.

They looked at each other then started laughing

"See I was right, he truly was a defect, he's just trash." one mocked him.

Before he would try to punch them, I stepped in first so that it can't escalate further.

I grabbed his shoulder so that I could drag him away from them.

"You should watch your temper, you were about to hit them weren't you."

"So what, they deserve it." he claimed.

"Yeah! Listen to that guy, since we're nice enough we'll let you off the hook cause you're about to face hell soon anyway." They exclaimed before they disappeared from the surroundings.

"God damn it, I was about to teach them their lesson for messing with me." he voiced out.

"And if you were to hit them then you would have been caught by the cameras over there and been reported by the upperclassmen for use of violence against them then your life here in this school would have been over." I mentioned it to him.

If he had been reported due to violence then he would probably have gotten a suspension or even worse an expulsion.

"Tch, why did you even help me when we don't know each other?" he questioned me.

"I'm your classmate Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, can I not help my classmate." I asked

"I guess, Sudo Ken by the way nice to meet you." he uttered

"Likewise"

After that commotion, I entered the convenience store where I left Sudo back there since he was about to go to the dorms anyway.

It was the second day of the start of school technically the first day since yesterday was just introductions and getting our starter Pokemon.

As I opened the door to my room I was greeted by a boy named Eiichiro who I know very well.

"Yo Kiyo, good morning"

"Good morning, how long have you been here waiting for me." I asked him

"Hmm, just a casual 30 minutes or so"

"Why didn't you knock?" I asked another question

"I didn't want to" I can't seem to comprehend the functions of his brain on why he would want to wait and get bored for half an hour.

As we were on our way to school, we ran into Hirata and his group of girls.

"Hello everyone, good morning" Eiichiro greeted everyone.

"Good morning" I also followed him.

"Oh good morning also to you Matsuo-kun and Ayanokoji-kun." Hirata said as the rest of the girls nodded at us.

"Nice to meet you Ayanokoji-kun, I believe this is our first time talking to each other so I hope we can be good friends." Hirata uttered to me.

"I also hope for us to be good friends in the near future." I also expressed my desires to have friends in the future.

It seemed like Eiichiro got acquainted with them after I left him in the battle arena yesterday.

"When did you get acquainted with them?" I asked Eiichiro

"As I was leaving the battle arena, I saw their little group hanging around nearby so I thought maybe I could get acquainted with them." he answered

"I see"

"Say did you know each other before coming here in this school." asked by the girl named Satou

"Yes actually, we knew each other since 5 months ago." Eiichiro quickly commented

"Wow that's cool that you both got enrolled in this school cause I was the only one in my friend group who got in this school." She mentioned to us

"Yeah we got lucky that we both got enrolled here." he uttered

Eiichiro appears to be conversing with them well, as for me I was slowly going in the back of the group considering that I didn't want to grab their attention by asking me questions.

"You don't look to be fond of interactions with others." A girl with long brown hair called Matsushita spoke to me.

"I suppose so, you also don't seem to like to interact since you stayed back as opposed to talking with them." I voiced out

"I guess but I just noticed that you stayed back in the group and didn't have someone to talk to so I got close to talk to you."

"I see, how did you even notice that I didn't want to interact with anyone, are you a stalker or something." I interrogated her.

"Huh! I'm not a stalker, I just saw it on your face, that's all." she answered with a guilty expression.

"That's what a stalker always says, they deny it." I added

"Hey what are you two blabbering about" Shinohara saw us talking to each other.

"Are you making a move on Ayanokoji-kun, Matsushita-san." Satou then added

"No I'm not Satou-san" she hurriedly exclaimed with a blush on her cheeks

"Ehh, If I were you I would have gone for Hirata-kun" Karuizawa commented

Matsushita was then being teased by the girls.

"I didn't your smooth like that Kiyo" Eiichiro tried to teased me

"I wasn't doing anything in particular" I voiced to him

"Hmm really, I thought you were flirting with her" he noted

"I could say the same for you then due to you also conversing with girls" I shot back at him

"Hey then we're even for now." he suggested

Eventually we arrived outside our class, then we entered.

Sometime after the bell rang then Chabashira-sensei entered our class.

"Since everyone had their Pokemon for a day now then we will be having a 1 v 1 battle after our lesson today"

After processing what she said everyone then cheered for what's coming later.
