What Have I Gotten Myself Into [COTE x OC] (On Hold)

5 • B - Cruise Exam Arc

[Revamped Kyoro so he actually looks like a COTE character... a bit. Anyway, this is long overdue. I really appreciate all the support, we're reaching over 2K views! Love you all so much. And as I said in the last update, I'm going to making scenes for this and maybe a 20 second one. Didn't realize how long it would take!]

Also, just a question; Would y'all like a first person POV for Kyoro?

I think it'd be a lot easier to express how he feels but I kinda don't wanna break the chain we have. [P.S.- ...enjoy!]

Kyoro was leaning on his propped palm listening to Suzune and Ryūen go back and forth about the previous exam.

"The key question is who replaced you as leader. Personally, I think the second leader was pulling the strings from behind the scenes during the entire test." Ryūen said. 'Jeez. He's really not giving her any credit...' Kyoro thought taking a sip of his steaming coffee, ignoring the slight burning sensation on his lips. Ryūen was carefully observing Kyoro as he himself conversed with Suzune.

"I'm afraid I can't understand you at all. I have but one friend, Kyoro here, and he's nothing but a nuisance and drags me down. Due to his incompetence, I'd be hard-pressed to say that I'd choose him as an ally." Suzune said. '...I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.' Kyoro thought. "However, if we did change leaders, he wouldn't be the most likely candidate." Suzune added.

"I see." Ryūen started glancing at Kyoro before looking back to Suzune. "Well, I suppose that's expected of a clingy tagalong." Ryuen added. "You wanna say that agai—" "So now you understand. Though I wonder what basis you had for your hypothesis." Suzune said cutting Kyoro off with a finger to his lips and with her words. "That guy with you is... considerably smart. Despite that, he hasn't achieved anything significant, or gotten that high of grades. He has some excellent qualities, though I have my doubts." Ryūen explained.

"You've investigated Class D thoroughly, it seems. Kyoro, we've been putting you down mercilessly. Aren't you going to defend yourself?" Suzune asked. "I would if there was something to defend." Kyoro said shaking his head. "Neither of you are wrong. Can't say the words didn't hurt though." Kyoro said with a shrug. 'Definitely gonna go back to my motto before the eyes.' Kyoro thought before drinking more coffee.

"Well, I'm sorry, but what you're saying is complete nonsense. It's a child's excuse, used to because he's upset that he lost and needs to resort to fantasy. Does it embarrass you that a girl managed to see through your schemes?" Suzune asked. "I see your point. I never imagined you'd trip me up. I'll admit it. The results of the test shocked me." Ryūen answered before laughing. "Well, that's too bad. I love surprise attacks, foul play, and subterfuge. That level of strategy was totally unexpected, but your victory high will soon come to an end. Whether it's you, Suzune, or someone pulling the strings behind the scenes, you're stupid. You've already made your best move. Class D is one or two steps behind the other classes in points. The challenge will only heat up from here. You already played your trump card during the survival test, when the game was just getting started. You couldn't see what was in front of or behind you. I don't think you'll find this round as easy as last time. Tell whoever helped you ace that test." Ryūen warned. 'If only he... wait, never mind— he already does.' Kyoro thought remaining stoic.
