Another Situation and Working Together

Ch.5 - Another Situation and Working Together

The lunch table was quite the experience for you, seeing as you had never experienced so many strange conversations going so quickly from one to the other, nor how everyone seemed to just loudly talk or had no real sound logic to their arguments. You had always been surrounded by adults who would treat every discuss as if it was a do or die situation. So... it was interesting for you to listen to some less than important ones and share a chuckle or two along with the others who were sharing their silly thoughts on anything and everything in their mind.

"And all I'm saying is that American music was what inspired ours." Kaminari was waving his finger back and forth.

"I'm not disagreeing with you over that, Kaminari!" Jirou slammed her hand against the table. "All I'm trying to get you to understand is that you can't just give the Americans all the credit! British music from the same 1960-1980's era helped shape our music just as much as American music during the same time!"

"Then what about the Aerosmith, the Grateful Dead, KISS, Metallica!" Kaminari yelled.

"I know! But you are leaving out the Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones! They inspired the music industry we see here just as much!" Jirou countered, Kaminari sinking into his seat.

"Pretty interesting, huh?" Mina poked your cheek.

You nodded. "Yes... I think I've learned more about music today at this table than ever."

Mina laughed gently. "Well, Jirou is our resident music expert! Both her parents are musicians, so she for sure knows her stuff."

"I'll have to check some of these bands out myself then... they sound pretty interesting." You spoke, the red-haired male next to you having his ears perked up at the mention of this.

"Wait! Have you never heard these guy's music before?" Kirishima looked wide-eyed at you.

You shook your head. "I've heard of them, trust me on that. But with so much traveling, it's hard to discover music. Plus... my mom has this weird superstition from back in her college days that the only music she can listen to while on exploration and excavation has to be classical music. Something about finding something old with old music playing... she's a bit quirky."

Kirishima and Mina chuckled lightly but stopped when they saw a shadow loom over you. You blinked, looking behind you to see someone had approached your lively table. The male standing behind looked rather ticked off, with an air of entitlement that could make anyone choke.

"Would you Class A stooges keep your voices down. My table can barely converse with all the useless chatter coming from your mouths..." The blonde-haired male sneered.

"Well... maybe if you asked us a bit nicer?" Sero tried his best to liven the mood a bit.

The mystery male before you snorted. "Nicer? I asked you as politely as I could for people who don't deserve to stand in the light that Class B has."

His eyes caught you, his cold gray eyes lighting up at seeing you. You looked back at him, face emotionless as you were not one to really like to stand by and sit silent as someone harasses people you considered nice.

"Oh... and who are you? Some poor General Studies student suckered into their fantasy land?" He looked like he was pitying you.

"No. I'm a potential student." You spoke back to him, making a note to ask the others later what exactly General Studies was.

"Well... for your sake, I hope if you do end up in the Gifted Course, you end up in Class B." He smirked, looking towards the girl with the headphones and the boy with the lightning bolt in his hair. "As for the two of you uncultured filth... the only music that matters is of the classical genre. Stop wasting your time and breath with such horrible sounds... especially you music prodigy. After all... Sonozaki produces much better opera singing than anything you could dream of singing..."
