chapter 10

back in the student council room Irina was talking to someone who she doesn't seem to like very much

"so arata what do you want ?"

"come on is is bad to come see you?"

"not excertly you never come to visit and i where not particularly close for you to be coming to see me what you have a crush on me now"

"and if I said I did"

"it an honour but I will have to turn you down"

"funny as usual anyway I saw you dropped in the first grading test if kind of a disappointment really"

"what is it to you not like am still not above you in the ranking"

"be honest with your self do you really think you can best in academics?"

this question had Irina in disbelief and just said

"sure why not your not up to my level yet"

"such confidences well I'll be taking my leave now it was a nice chat"

after that arata left leveling the student council room

..

'shin'

I was on my way to class this morning when someone called me from behind it was the always joyful Hana

"hey shin lovely morning right"she said with her usual bright smile

"oh hey Hana yes it is a lovely morning just shocked running into you this late"I said

"yh I kind of over slept a little"

"well that not good you sure your feeling ok?"I asked

"yes am fine it happens once in a while"

"well if it not broken no reason to fix it I suppose well we better increase our speed a little don't wannabe late" I said

after increase the rate atvwhich we walk we got to class just in time as we where entering we where grated by Asuna who was standing near the door

"your now waking together now don't tell me shin has stolen our pure hearted Hana from us and so soon after transferring"asuan said teasing us then from behind Minato came and pulled cheek's lightly

"don't make fake assumptions like that it bad sorry about her Hana" Minato said

" it alright that how Asuna is anyway we'll see you in class"Hana said and walked away

"well she seems fund of you unlike the others "I said to Asuna

"Hana's a bit of a special case she's one of the few who stood by me when all that happen and believed I did noting wrong"

"well we better get to class"

we entered and I was seating ony chair when someone came to me it was rentaro

"yo"

"hey need something"

"so what you've discovered"

"I never said I was going to unravel this case in a day and am not some star detective I only have a gut feeling that something is up with MiO to go off of"

"(sigh) if you say so buddy"

rentaro walked away ,am more consigned about my main dynamic that this one but it affects the class and me and I've gotten my hand in already no point in Turing back now could be beneficial to me to so let see how it goes.

...

"Alice"

I was in class trying to concentrate during the teaching when I got a test on my phone I silently checked it and saw it was from am unknown number which read

"I know your curious about the Asuna case we'll am here to help out"

at first I was skeptical to reply back but I just left it for another time till after classes I'll pay attention to it after the day was going well it was time for lunch break and i moved outside trying to call the number but it wasn't picking up my first suspicion was that it was sato but it mostly unlikely to be him cause he has noting to gain with helping me with the Asuna case and the student council seems to hate Asuna as well so i just decide to text back

"who are you?"

a few minutes later I got a response

"don't worry with time you'll find out"

this made me more on edge but for now I'll play alone with it and see where it takes me but since am doing this solo I have to find my own way of investigating now let go back to the drawing board and see what I missed they said Asuna rig the election hmm I better talk to a certain someone about this .

I moved and found sato not so far ahead in the courtyard that good cause he saved me the stress of looking for him

"hey can we talk ?"I said

"yes do you need anything?" he said

his being cooperative well

"so it about what happened during the election can you tell me about it"

"Asuna didn't tell you?"

"she did but I want to hear it from your perspective maybe she changed somethings"

"don't tell me your going to start looking into the case now"

"I don't have enough brain power for that and am not some detective am just an average highschool student"

"there's noting average about you but if you insist I'll let you know what happened during the election Asuna was found to had messed with the results and so making it look let everything was in her favour of winning"

"and when was it discovered?"

"a few days to the result announcement after she got the other candidates eliminated that is so after that she manipulated the results in a way that will avoid immidiate suspicion"

"and if I may ask how voting is done here"

"it an algorithm program developed by the first set of electoral commity problems where rising about normal system of voting back then so the comity pulled together and made the program for voting"

"well that move convinite that way no one can actually mess with the votes unless you knew someone from inside"

"yes and Asuna did know a lot of people inside who testified to her brides and we found solid evidence to it as well"

"alright that way more convenitate I think I get it now thanks for telling me"

"but this information doesn't come free you know I'll be expecting something like you joining the student council"

"who knows maybe if you do something that wins we over I'll join for now don't get your hopes up"I said and left

something about that story isn't right but for now the information I've gotten is enough for the moment I can't let my intention of investigating slip out.

...

"shin"

I was about to leave the cafeteria when someone came and sat with me to my surprise it was the president of the student council

"hello can I help you miss president"

"that to modest of you just call me by my name rina tachibana"

"ok miss tachibana how may I help you"
