Villian Days

Chapter 18

   High School – Second Part

Today’s the first day of camp.

I’m sighing as I head over to the meeting place. My bags are heavy, making me sink into the ground.

“Ughh. I don’t want to go anymore…”

Looking up at the awakening cobalt sky, I recall the day of the groups’ announcement.

°•°•°

(This is a flashback)

Like he had been dreading, Mizuki was placed with Kenshin. Poor guy was totally depressed. They’re both in the kendo club, so that might have been why.

“Seriously, you win brother Ken.”

As for me, I was placed in the South Team. The same group as the Hero, Suzaku Hirotaka.

This naturally meant that his caretakers, the Student Council, will also be assigned to this group. Screams of joy erupted from the fans of the Student Council lucky enough to be in the South Team.

While browsing the team’s roster, my eyes caught Teruki’s name.

“Oh! Teruki’s also on the South Team! We can be together. Awesome!”

So I won’t be alone.

During middle school, I was able to befriend Teruki and Mizuki. But, I was still really nervous around my other classmates and found it hard to make friends. Whenever I tried to talk to someone, everyone around us would just stare at me.

After entering high school, I still didn’t have the courage to reach out to other people. Because of this, I really admired Teruki and Mizuki for their confidence.

“Oh. We’re together! The baths are connected to each room. Is this a quadruple room? There’s three of us are staying together…uhh.”

“Uhh…”

Both Teruki and I groaned.

Looks like the Hero Suzaku Keito was our roomate.

Because Suzaku became the Student Council’s assistant through the help of the Chairman, there’s a lot of animosity directed towards the guy. With the current group arrangements, it’s like purposely getting Suzaku and I out of everyone else’s hair. The two of us had a pretty negative image.

I’m sorry, Teruki. I’ll take care of you.

I arrive at the training camp.

The dorms are divided into four sections: north, south, east, and west. There are also state of the art facilities, such as a gymnasium, dojo, and tennis court. These facilities are open to regular club activities.

After the entrance ceremony in the gymnasium, we move our luggage over to the dorms.

Teruki: “Wow, it’s unexpectedly beautiful here.”

Yuu: “Yeah! Can I take this bed over here, Teruki?”

Teruki smiles bitterly as I’m hanging over one of the bunk beds. I check out the room a bit.

Teruki: “It looks like Suzaku’s not here yet.”

Yuu: “Yep, guess not. Well, most of the first years are probably still in hanging around in the second auditorium. It looks like we still got some time, so I can just play my game, right?”

Teruki: “Gotcha. I’m gonna lay down for a bit. Feeling a bit sleepy.”

Suddenly, a knock. A soft voice reserved voice slips through the crack of the door.
