Classroom of the Elite: I'm really an ordinary person.

Powerless

Breakfast time. I take the buffet that was popular with a lot of the
students. But it was early in the morning, so it's not really as crowded as usual. As I took a bowl of cereal and a cup of teh tarik (famous Malaysian and Singaporean's beverage), I took a table in the shaded back, where there weren’t many people around. It was 7:50 in the morning. I has plenty of time so I had my breakfast first before Hirata sits on the same table with me.

"Hello, Yuki-kun. You're early."

"Well, this is a special test. So, I have to wake up early. Besides, I've already got plenty of sleep already."

"Oh, is that so. Then..."

After that both of us exchange some chit chat before I saw Kushida ran towards this table. I didn't even look at her face before I saw a message comes in. I ignores it cause I've set a specific ringtone for that person so I can prepare for whatever that comes.

"Erm, Yuki-kun. Your phone has been ringing a lot just now. Are you sure you don't want to check it?"

Kushida asks me.

"No, don't worry about that. It's just some stalker."

From the corner of my eyes, I sees Kushida frown a bit hearing that. She has a reason cause that person is her. Probably giving up, she put her phone on the table and just exchanged conversation, waiting for the times for nomination of VIP arrives.

"I just want to ask. Is it better if the VIP is in our class or others? Or what outcome that you guys aiming for?"

A sudden question just popped in my mind and I instantly ask them.

Hirata and Kushida are a bit surprised with my sudden interruption but regain their composure back.

"Hmm, it's hard. I'll try to aim for outcome 1 so that everyone will get it's benefit. But if we aim for Class A, then of course we have to pick either Outc- no I'll try my best to get outcome 1."

Hirata is a kind guy but somehow his kindness makes me want to puke. I really don't get it why he has to be this kind. Did something happen or what? I don't care but if it's useful for our class, I'll interrogates it. Nevertheless, I didn't show any signs of disgust or discomfort hearing Hirata blind kindness.

"So, Kushida? How about you?"

Kushida who's just observed us quietly has her eyes widen before return to normal. Probably she doesn't expect I'll ask her too.

"Well, for me. I'll try my best to get the class points. So, I'll pursue for one of the Outcome 3 and Outcome 4."

"Oh, that's good too. How about you, Yuki-kun?"

Even though I was the one that asking the questions, I still don't give any opinion.

"For me, I th---"

I didn't realise that it's already 8:00 am as everyone's phone beeped beeped simultaneously. We immediately checked our phones. After we’d finished reading the
contents of the message at almost the exact same, I looks towards the two people in front of me. They did the same.

For a moment, I look around us to see the action of other students. There are some faces that shows relief, some has dissatisfied face probably because they want to be the target especially since it have many benefits. Well, about one or two just froze up while watching the phone. I try to remember at least one of the faces and keep it in my head.

"Let's finish our breakfast, first. Then we will show our message to each other."

As expected of Hirata, despite his over kindness, he still quite perceptive about the situation and takes necessary precautions. Maybe Ibuki's betrayal has open his eyes a bit.
