Chapter 51: Student Council

Arthur receives a letter coming from the Student Council, President to meet them tomorrow at the gym with no clues to what they're going to do there or for what reason they would have to call him forth there in the first place.

"Unfortunately I don't have any information about the Student Council."

Carla said as she gasps for air, Arthur was getting nervous, for some reason he felt like getting an expulsion or they must have something they want with him but he stood firm to his beliefs that perhaps it's just some misunderstanding, Patrisha then says,

"But I do know where you could ask someone about the Student Council, It's our Class President and our Vice."

Arthur: How would you know this?

Dorothy: No, No I believe she's telling the truth I've heard about the staff explaining the Class Presidents and the Vice's about the reason and information they have on the student council."

Arthur: For what reason?.

Carla: So if we're actually right about this...

Arthur: Carla can you stay here and watch over Anna please.

Carla: Wait! my King where are you going!?

Arthur: I'm heading to Gray's room, Oh! and her friend is inside so don't worry okay.

Carla: Wait! you too Dorothy!?

Dorothy: I'm heading for Patrisha's room!

Carla who was now left alone outside their room and lets out a sigh and says,

"Well I've got nothing better to do."

She enters the room with no problems whatsoever, Arthur knocks at Gray's door catching his breath from running, He heard faint footsteps, his brows furrowed as to why he would try to hide his presence by walking silently but at the same time could still make sound even when he's trying not to.

A womanly voice answers his knock,

"Yes? Who is it?."

Arthur: Umm It's Arthur, who might this be? [Like I'd actually fall for this.]

"This is Gray's Mother, are you a classmate of his?."

Arthur: Y-Yeah [Is he really serious?]

After a few minutes from talking to what seems to be Gray's actual Mother, Arthur now was uncertain whether it's still a prank or not, his voice cracks as his mind is now confused on what to say next.

Arthur: Is Gray perhaps there Mrs Dawson?

He heard a scoff coming from the inside, once he did his face was annoyed at himself and Gray for doing this when he could've just answered.

Gray opened his door and gave Arthur a smirk, as Arthur entered the room he shoved Gray's face gently with his hand and asked,

Arthur: How much do you know about the Student Council Gray?.

He stopped from where he stood and turned around slowly with a scared expression on his face asking,

"How did you know about the Student Council?."

Confused from Gray's question he asked again,

Arthur: What do you mean? aren't they suppose to be famous people who govern the school and do all the activities and plans for it's future or something?

Gray's expression never changed, It was the first time for Arthur to see Gray, scared and not even trying to hide it, He replied,

"No, they don't show themselves to the public that much, only Class Presidents and the Vice's only have heard of them from the teachers."

Glad to have found the information he is looking for He took a seat and let's out a sigh of relief but Gray then says,

"But I only know the First to the third pillar, the other three are with Patrisha,"

Arthur: First what now?

Gray: There are six pillars all in all and every year they try to recruit new members but no one is seem to be qualified to join them for some reason, and if they manage to recruit one, He or She would be gone from the public like the rest of the Student Council, what made you decide and how did you knew about them?

Ignoring Gray's question he kept flailing his arms around as Arthur was in deep thought [What do they want with me? Do they want me to be in their little group? do they want something from me?] He tapped Arthur's cheek and says,

"Finally you're back!."

Gray retracted his finger from his cheek and asks,

Gray: Is something bothering you concerning them?

Arthur explained to Gray for the remaining minutes about how and why he knows about them considering only the Class Presidents and Vice President's only know of their existence.

To the rest of the students they simply made rumors about the school not having a Student Council, some say there is but never shows themselves cause they work in total darkness.

Once Gray has understood his situation he flails his hands around yelling,

"This is bad!! This is bad!!."

Not understanding anything Arthur's brows furrowed as he asks,

Arthur: What's wrong?

Gray: You said they sent you a letter right?

Arthur: Well they sent it to Carla for some reason but I still got the letter, why? something wrong?

Gray: It's either they've found something concerning about you in the school.

The first thought that comes to Arthur's mind upon hearing this was all the Assassin attacks and he thought maybe the Student Council have found some leads and are about to expel him to ensure the school's safety.

He knows even if that happens nothing would change, since their target is Dorothy, but he can't risk exposing her so he'll take the blame.. but then again his mind was against this, with him gone who would protect her, and even more he would break his promise to protect her if he's not allowed in the school anymore.

Currently right now He is conflicted with his decision for now, Gray continues,

Gray: Or maybe they want to recruit you, It's what I think anyway.

Arthur was in deep thought on what he's going to do about this,

Arthur: I want you to tell me about the three members you know of.

He begged in front of Gray like how a child would behave just for his or her parents to get him something.

Gray: Alright, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else, I'm entrusting this information to you only.

Arthur nods his head in agreement as Gray then starts explaining to him all the information he knows about them.

Gray: Third Pillar is Drake Johnson, He's a Fighter class, always wears a red cap, his role in the council is the Secretary.

Arthur: Don't they go to their classes?

Gray: They do, well not like ours tho. It's just the Student Council in a room and they have their own teachers for each and every one of them.

Arthur: That sounds cool.

Gray: Now where were we, ah yes. The second Pillar Jazmyn Matou and Miko Matou.

Arthur: Wait there are two of them!?

Gray: Yep, they're twins Jazmyn's a Tamer class, her pet is an eagle, she loves lollipops and the teachers always say about her, that she has the knowledge and thought of one at a young age, Miko is a Mage class, he supports her sister when it comes in combat, the teachers say you'll know if you're facing the matou twins if you notice bright red wings in the sky. They're the treasurers in the council.

Arthur: So we have one Secretary who wears a red cap, Twins that one loves lollipops and the other is a support for her sister, all that's left now is the..

Gray: The First Pillar, The President, the one in command of all the pillars, some teachers have been saying he's been in that position for five years straight now, Alex Richard, he resented his family for reasons untold, a responsible leader, and quite a funny man or so I've heard, His class is Swordsman but that's not at all they say in battle, he can summon a ghost to fight with him in battles.

Arthur: Hmmm [I think I can handle two on one] How many can he summon?

Seeing Gray's confused look Arthur was getting nervous just by asking a question, an answer couldn't be returned in a positive reply.

Gray: I'm not sure, so far only the teachers have seen him summon one, so just expect two or more to join the fray... wait we're not even sure if you're going to fight one of them tomorrow maybe they just want to talk to you or something.

Arthur: Well at things like these, what always happens in the end.

With no reply Gray was silent and couldn't answer Arthur.

Arthur: Anyways Thank you for telling me Gray, I appreciate it oh and also from the time our room was checked by Sir. Charles you were the one that told the other students to go back to their rooms, for that Thank you very much.

He bowed his head showing his gratitude, Embarrassed Gray says,

"You don't need to bow man, it's what friends are for, we support each other.

Gray extended his arm and stopped short of making contact, pantomiming a fist bump in the air, Arthur smiled back as he did the same thing.

Later that day Arthur got back to his room,

Arthur: I'm home.

He heard Anna crying loud in inside the bedroom, He quickly ran to see what's going on.

He opened the door and saw Saya grabbing hold of Anna causing a tantrum, Arthur walked towards Anna and asked,

"What's going on?."

Anna: Liz won't be staying here tonight *sniff* *sniff*

Arthur then ruffles her hair and wipes her tears from her eyes and says,

"Well I'm sur--!."

Before finishing his sentence Anna let out a high pitched scream and cried as louder than last time, Carla was already unconscious on the floor, with foam coming out of her mouth.

He flailed his arms around and turn to Liz, She nodded her head as she understood and Arthur faced the crying Anna while covering one of his ears,

"Of course she can sleep here tonight! right Liz!."

Liz: Yep, I will so you can stop crying now Anna.

With a smile on Liz's face Anna was starting to calm down, as she was now silent and happy Liz turned her face to Arthur and saw him shooting her a thumbs up.

She laughed and once again thought about what could've been if she were in a relationship with Arthur.

A few hours later.. Dorothy just got back and Arthur was waiting at the door he said,

"You certainly took your time."

She stopped where she was and slowly faces a worried Arthur with crossing both his arms,

"Patrisha had a problem so I had to help her and I forgot about the reason I went there in the first place, but don't worry I managed to ask her about the Student Council and she told me."

Arthur lets out a sigh and ruffles Dorothy's hair,

"Well I was so worried about you, but now that you're here."

He gives her a hug and says,

"You don't have to do this you know, I don't want you getting caught up into my problems."

She chuckles and says,

"Arthur, what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours I won't let anyone else have you, I'd challenged them to the death just to keep you with me, So I'll walk with you to the end of the world and I'll be going with you tomorrow."

He knows there's no other way to convince her either way, he smiled and simply accept her girlfriend's decision.

Meanwhile Liz was at the corner hiding, she was simply about to get some water but saw and heard their conversation, she had to listen to it, And now it's her decision whether she would go with them too or not.
