[Scene 3]

*Mitsuhiro sitting in his classroom and watching a movie in his phone with his airpods on and a powerbank charging the phone*

Suzune: Hey. Hey! Hey!!

Mitsuhiro: *looks at her emotionless but confused* ....What the hell are you doing in here?

Suzune: Y-you are kidding, right? I have been literally sitting next to you for like 3 months now. You never noticed?

Mitsuhiro: .....No.

Suzune: Well, to be fair, I didn't notice you either so it's no big deal. Anyways you didn't answer my question.

Mitsuhiro: I did.

Suzune: Nobody is not an answer.

Mitsuhiro: Well... then I am Mitsuhiro Ishioka. There you go.

Suzune: That's not the answer I am searching for.

Mitsuhiro: Well sometimes life doesn't go as you want it to go so...

Suzune: Seriously Mr. Ishioka. Who are you?

Mitsuhiro: You are not gonna stop, are you?

Suzune: No, I am not. If needed, I will expose you as well. Because apparently you don't like the spotlight, do you?

Mitsuhiro: What's your goal in this school?

Suzune: You still didn't answer my question-

Mitsuhiro: Well I am answering your question with a follow up question. What's your goal? Hm? What's your purpose in this school? What? To be powerful? To be in control? To shift into a higher class? Because apparently class D is not working out for you, is it? That's the reason you are sticking out to me. To use me to gain power. Isn't that right? Okay look, let me make you a deal. I am gonna help you shift into class A, become a Superior and whatnot. The only catch is... I don't want that question to be asked ever again. Do we concur, miss....?

Suzune: Onitsuka. Suzune Onitsuka.

Mitsuhiro: Miss Onitsuka. Do we concur?

Suzune: Yes.

Mitsuhiro: Thank you. Your acceptance is most appreciated. Nice name though.

Suzune: You too.

*Teacher walks in*

Akiyama: Good morning, students. Please take your seats. Alright so I have got good news and bad news. Good news is that I or we have successfully checked all of your midterm papers and they will be delivered right before lunchtime. Bad news is that most of the students failed to score even 50% in them. Now let me warn you people again. This school is not a child's playground neither it is a hotel for you to spend your vacation in. Instead this school is a prison. Because the students that don't have any currents, usually end up in the streets just like in real life. And the free stuff you see in the shops, they are the same as prison food. The only possible way for you people to get the best of currents is to study, is to volunteer, is to abide by the rules of the E-system and to increase your class points. So my request to you all. Get a brain and actually read some books for once. Anyways let us begin homeroom, shall we?

Mitsuhiro: *thinks to himself* End up in the streets,huh? That reminds me. I didn't pay this month's rent.

[Scene 4]

*Time skip*

*Akiyama delivering the midterm papers to the students*

*Mitsuhiro gets his one and so does Suzune*

Suzune: How much did you get?

Mitsuhiro: 85%

Suzune: Was that on purpose?

Mitsuhiro: ...*looks at her a little surprised*...Yes. How did you figure it out?

Suzune: Well, when our results for the entrance exams were published, I saw a total score of 50 below most others with the name Mitsuhiro Ishioka beside it. However during our prep exams, I saw that same name with a total of 85 beside it, being the fourth highest after Takahashi, Haruki and Chisaka. No one can improve from 50 to 85 in just one month. You merely got 85 because it was the most efficient score for someone to get currents without the spotlight. And now you did it again. That exact same score. For that exact same reason.

Mitsuhiro: I didn't know you are this smart.

Suzune: I have my moments.

Mitsuhiro: How much did you get?

Suzune: 81%. Being the fifth highest.

Mitsuhiro: Nice. Anyways so um.... why did those weirdos..... you know?

Suzune: I don't wanna talk about it.

Mitsuhiro: Then what do you wanna talk about?

Suzune: How are you possibly gonna get me into class A?

Mitsuhiro: Slowly.

Suzune: Yes but... what's the procedure?

Mitsuhiro: Patience, miss Onitsuka. Patience is the procedure. You know why?

Suzune: Because patience is key?

Mitsuhiro: Exactly.

Akiyama: I am guessing everyone got their papers?

Class: Yes ma'am.

Akiyama: Now let me give you people a word of advice. Study groups. At least you will be opening your books then. *Lunchtime bell rings* That's my cue.

Mitsuhiro: Study groups... That's actually not so bad. *says to himself*

Suzune: I am sorry?

Mitsuhiro: You need to manage a study group.

Suzune: Wait what? Why?

Mitsuhiro: Because it's the easiest way to become a class representative.

Suzune: Why would I need to become a class rep?

Mitsuhiro: Because it's the first step to becoming a Superior. Think about it. Every month we are said to have 100 000 currents by getting 1000 class points. However due to our class performances, we don't get much class points and so we fail to acquire what we are supposed to get. But the representative can stop this.

Suzune: *listens to Mitsuhiro intently*

Mitsuhiro: You see, what I have come to learn from Ekusukurushibu details on miscellaneous, it is that class reps can make certain rules for students to avoid losing class points. And if anyone of them disobeys those rules, they will get immediate detention. With you being class rep, you can make those rules by the permission of Akiyama-sensei. And then following those rules, we are gonna get more points.

Suzune: *keeps on listening to him attentively with a stern yet surprised expression*

Mitsuhiro: And shifting into higher classes requires nothing except getting more points than other classes, as said by Akiyama-sensei in our very first class. Not to mention we are gonna get more currents than we are getting now as well. Plus being a rep also has the added benefit of getting 200 000 currents instead of 100 000 per month, as said by the book. It's a win win for everyone.

Suzune: Whoa... You are much smarter than I thought you were.

Mitsuhiro: *smiles slightly* I have my moments.

Suzune: So how exactly would a study group help me to become a class rep?

Mitsuhiro: Think about it, you make a study group. You help people improve their grades. People place their trust on you and so when time comes, people vote for you as class rep. It's that simple.

Suzune: And what if they don't enter?

Mitsuhiro: That's not an option.

Suzune: Why not?

Mitsuhiro: Because they don't have a choice. Unless somebody else makes it before you which is highly unlikely considering you are one of the best students in this class and most others who are likely to create, are not.

Suzune: So you are a good analyst as well?

Mitsuhiro: Well I try my best.

Fujimura: Hey Ishioka-kun! 

Mitsuhiro: Oh heyyy Fujimura-san. *says with a timid expression with a slight smile*

Fujimura: *clings to his arm by pressing her breasts against him* How are you doing?

Mitsuhiro: *blushes a little* U-um..... I am doing good... hehe... H-how are you doing?

Fujimura: I am doing good too! But are you really doing good? *closes in towards Mitsuhiro's face with a worried expression* I mean as always you look so tired.

Mitsuhiro: *blushes a little more and smirks uncomfortably* Well it's just my usual face. *chuckles uncomfortably*

Fujimura: Oh by the way, *lets go of him* I made you lunch!

Mitsuhiro: Ouh wow! Again? Um.. thanks! It really means a lot I suppose. Can I make it up for it in anyway?

Fujimura: Well, if you really wanna make it up for me, then can we have lunch together again? *asks in a cheerful manner*

Mitsuhiro: *Visually worried with the uncomfortable smile* Ouh... u-um... S-sure. W-why not? *turns his face to the other way without any smile anymore*

Fujimura: Yay! Thank you, Ishioka-kun! *finally notices Suzune* Oh hi, Onitsuka-san. Forgot you were there. By the way, what were the two quietest students talking about?

Mitsuhiro: Oh it's-

Suzune: None of your business. *stands up from her desk and starts walking away to leave the classroom*

Fujimura: Wait, where are you going, Onitsuka-san?

Suzune: To have lunch in peace.

Fujimura: ...Why is she always so mean?

Mitsuhiro: *keeps looking at Suzune leaving the class with his tired careless expression*...

[Scene 5]

*Suzune reading a book while having a chocolate pudding and a cup of coffee in a cafe*

*Mitsuhiro comes in the cafe and sits beside Suzune*

*Barista closes in towards him*

Barista: May I take your order, sir?

Mitsuhiro: Yes um.... I would like a piece of cheesecake brownie please.

Barista: Sure.

Mitsuhiro: Thank you.

Suzune: ...How did you find me?

Mitsuhiro: I didn't. I just went to the most convenient cafe in sector 9. Guessed you could be here though. Anyways why did you leave?

Suzune: I was hungry.

Mitsuhiro: I don't think that's the only reason.

Suzune: Apparently someone was smothering you.

Mitsuhiro: And it made YOU feel uncomfortable?

Suzune: Well yeah of course! That old cinderella like hag. oH Hi oNiTSukA-saN. FoRgoT yOu wERe theRe. Hi IsHiOkA-kUn, cAn We hAVe luNcH tOGetHer AgaIn? Ugh... it almost seemed like you guys are dating..*turns to Mitsuhiro*... You guys aren't dating,right?

Mitsuhiro: Nah nah of course not of course not.

Suzune: Oh thank goodness. What happened to having lunch together though?

Mitsuhiro: Yeah I managed a way to avoid that.

Suzune: Good for you I guess.

Mitsuhiro: But you know, you should enjoy her like this.

Suzune: ....Why?

Mitsuhiro: Because she's not. I mean come on look at her, Onitsuka-san. Don't you think she's a little too excessive with her personality? Isn't that the very reason you hate her for? ...Her happiness, her cheerfulness, her kindness. It's all an act. Nothing else.

Suzune: Whoa....

Mitsuhiro: You couldn't figure it out?

Suzune: Well I had some guesses but no.

Mitsuhiro: Yeah that's because she's good. Really good. To the point that, she even fooled me for a month.

Suzune: What do you think her true nature is, though?

Mitsuhiro: I don't know. But I guess it will be a little bit nasty. Otherwise why hide it?

Suzune: Right.

Mitsuhiro: Anyways, why did you say it's none of her business when she asked what we were talking about?

Suzune: Because it's none of her business.

Mitsuhiro: It's not about her business. It's about ours. Study group, remember?

Suzune: Nooo... please... not her.

Mitsuhiro: Why not? If she's in, it's the quickest way for your group to become worthwhile getting in.

Suzune: Nooooo.... come on. Do we really need her?

Mitsuhiro: Yes. Plus I already asked her and she said yes so there's no turning back anyway.

Suzune: Oh for god's sake why are you asking me then?

Mitsuhiro: To get your approval I guess...

Suzune: *sighs*....
