Chapter 1 Part. 4

Once I finally found the class room I wanted, I sighted in happiness. Once liz told her speech about not using Greylin or something she just left me to wonder around for a bit, and I probably deserves that, I didn't hold a grudge against liz for just blowing me off like that's.

'Hmm, Liz still have her heroic personality huh' I sighed 'Annoying' I thought after I when inside the classroom, and seeing a small class again, 'Dam-' "Ashame right? The 'Helo' virus had been a blight to this world." Nicole was right beside before I noticed "School all across the world have been closing down because of it, but after the event they needed to close them prematurely and now look at the same amount which should be a full class." she kept on going, "Yeah I know why we are short handed, I seen it first hand the 'event'." I probably wore a grim when I said that.

Not wanting to talk about that's 'event' I came back to my senses "Oh, How's its going boss? I didn't know we had the same class." I smiled trying to change our conversation "Hm, I guess I'll bite, but know this Grey. I don't like secrets hidden from my connections. But considering you're new to the team, I'll let it slide this once." she started walking to her desk, thinking she was just gone and left all mysterious like, she stopped and look back "Come." she sounded annoyed like she educating a kid. "How was I supposed to know you meant follow, you should have said 'follow' or 'walk with me' instead of thinking I knew what you were implying." I quickly followed her "Forgive my lopsided mistakes, the people I speak to all know what's I'm implying without me even mentioning it." she said getting to her desk "I forget that's I'm teaching a baka." she said now sitting at her desk.

I had a little orgasmic moment there. Watching a lot of anime and reading manga had never prepared me for a actually Japanese girl saying the iconic word to me. After my degenerate moment was over, I came back from my sligh high and looked back and seen her confused, "Are you okay? I literally say something and you look like you enter enlightenment?"she wondering what's going through my head "Oh don't mind me, just had a degenerate moment." I smile feeling better then before.

"Anyway, I wanted to see you again at lunch, but I couldn't find you anywhere." she said looking through her papers "Ohh my. I know we just met today, but saying you when-" I didn't finish because she gave me a stern look, "Oh well if it was that important, I just slept for the entire lunch break. So that's why you couldn't find me maybe?" I said feeling well rested thanks to that's sleep, "Hmm, another potential meeting wasted." she said "Well I guess we need to met up after school then if we couldn't do it at school." she rubbed her chin "Now to the matter at hands." she put down her papers which were nothing written on them in the first place, "Time to see if you're the real deal or not." she looked dead serious.

"Huh?" I was confused at her comment, "Yes. Our team need to see your skills and talents for themselves. If you want to join us." said said in a business tone "Hmm, so I need to prove my worth huh." I echoed her statements. "Yes, a trial by fire." she hummed in agreement, "So did everyone else had to do this special trial? Or I'm special because of my background?" I smiled knowing the answer, "Yes, my connections do have a narrow mind set with picking people for our team, but know you have my vote straight out the gates." she said having confidence in me to pass, "Hm, so a point system huh, considering I seen your whole team back then, I just need two votes from them and I'm in? sounds ez." I hummed at how easy this is gonna be.

The teacher finally came in after showing late, "Sorry class, had to get drunk before I could tolerate any of you fuckers." he came in pretty drunk, everyone was shocked or too surprised at his appearance and behavior, "Great. Could we get this class going already Mr. Smirnov." Nicole gave him that's business glare, "Hmm, aww yes. Miss. Chika, a surprised you humbled us with your presence." he changed his tone when he spoken to her, "Don't mind me, I'm only here to observe a person who caught my eye." she hummed now getting the attention of every 'noble' in class, "Huh, do mind telling this special person who caught your eye?" he probably wanted this class as a actually class instead of one who'll cut each others throat, trying to impress her and maybe getting good with her, "I'll keep that's a secret for now, give that's person a challenge. And whom every beat that's person will takes that's person place for a position in my team."

Given the nobles a shining hope that's they maybe could be in a position where they could stand beside Nicole side 'Are people that's much of a simp for her?' I thought while looked at the noble now getting excited for this one in a life time chance, I really didn't know much of Nicole's power and the names behind her, I basically zoned out most of her story about herself, maybe I need to learn how to listen to others at some point, but I'll leave that's to future me.

"Hm, since you're here Miss. Chika, how's about you demonstrate your skill to us?" he asked her to join him up, "I suppose." she gotten up "Could bush up my political skills with some practice dummies." she said that's while going up to the front, "Hmm, okay then." he started looking around the class, "Then you." he pointed to me "You'll be the practice dummies for her." he said now sitting at his desk, "Bozhe, eta golovnaya bol.." he said while rubbing his forehead.

I gotten up from my desk and started walking to the front, Nicole was grabbing something from her pocket. "Huh this is kinda anti-climactic." I smiled "Welp guess I'll just end this quickly." I smiled and winked thinking maybe it'll get under her skin, 'hmm, this kinda of feelings, it's good, but liz actually gets mad so it's dosen't really feel the same.' I thought she and liz are kinda the same with pleasure in making them mad. "Oh, someone quite confident." she cuffed "I'll accept." she given me a same smile as well, "Well I wasn't making this a competition and not expecting you to be quite competitive as well."

okay, okay. That's was cute and all." the teacher getting up from his desk, "I'll decide the topic and I'll flip a coin, winners gets to choose who gets the topic and we'll see how's it'll go from there." he said grabbing a coin from his desk, "I'll go with tails." I said having faith "Hmm." she response.

And thinking I would be lucky, "Heads." he said getting back to his desk, "Okay, since Miss. Chika won." he thought for a second "The party could choose either. Defending the school budget, or use that's money for something else." he asked her, "I'll choose using the money on something else." she smiled, "Hm." I acknowledge my role. "Alright then, I'll give you a minute to gather your thoughts. And please Miss. Chika don't go to hard on the boy. I heard that's you don't hold back on your opponent in any situation." he just bluntly said knowing something.

After the whole cryptic comment from the teacher, we both headed off to our respective desk, all I thought during that time we had, were thoughts of quick comebacks. I looked over to Nicole again, she was setting up her phone towards us.

"Are we putting on a show?" I was amused looking at her, "Yes." she said finishing up her phone setting.

"Okay." the teacher clapped his hands, "Time up. And now since Miss. Chika won the coin toss she'll go first with the debate." he then sat down waiting.

"Thank you for your time in coming here today." she bowed her head down, "Today me and my associate are at a stand still with this topic here today." she waved her hand to me, "I'll won't kick around the bush here. We need use our money more efficiently then something small and inconvenient." she pause letting what she said sink in, "In our day and age, we are facing a crisis that's the world cannot even spare resources for something small like school. Thanks to our newly uninvited friend, the 'Helo' virus, this year, many problems have arise after it made it welcome two years ago. Our economy market have been hit severely in that's amount of time, over 2,841,000 companies have turned into black corporations, 1,729,000 companies simply do not have the resources to payback and have gone into debt or on the edge of bankrupt, and finally 10,000,000 companies have gone bankrupt or simply could not afford to go on with the high demands for labor workers risking theirselves getting infected every day and that's only in America, can you fabin the number on how many businesses had to close over the world?" she took a breather, "This is only one of the problems of many that's happened because of the virus, so wasting our valuable resources on something we agreed that we should host at home with online classes is safer for our children's future rather then sending them into danger. Like last time." she was done her opening.

All of the 'noble' students were amazed by her show of skill, and the 'common' students were shocked at her skill level at how quickly she came up with something like that in a minute. The teacher only smiled at her performance. "Alright next, and try at least make its sound good." he didn't have high expectations after her opening.

"Heya classmates." I waved to them, "Well first time to doing this, but it's just looking smart so I guess I could do that's." that's what I basically thought that political debate is, everyone was confused by my statement and how I thought how politics work, "Yes Miss. Chika, I do want to use the money for school." I looked at her "Friends and stranger, well mostly strangers. Today I do ament that me and Miss. Chika ideas clash, and I do agree with her that's my case seem small compare with her choice with how she'll use the money." I took a pause, "But the reason I'm pressing on why we should use the money for our educational system rather then our pressing issues is because that the next generation is stupid as hell." I smiled and kinda wanted to laugh because their look was more confused looking then my first statement, "Yes, the new generation can not comprehend our expectations of them. When we agreed with online classes are safer for the next generation to be safe from the 'Helo' virus, and I'm not trying to take that's ideas of taking them away from their safe havens. But a way for us to polish that's idea that's benefit both of us." I too stole her idea for letting it sink in for them.

"Hm, care to a laboratory on your idea?" she gave me the spot light and skipping her turn. "Gladly Miss. Chika." I agree.

"Me and you have the same reason with our ideals." she nodded, "Thanks to our newly acquainted friend, our educational system have been hectic both for the next generation and our generation. School all over the world have been closing finally after that 'event' which should have been closed earlier then we hoped, but what I'm saying thank to the inconvenience of this virus, we had to switch to online classes, and after a year we had to lower our expectations in the educational system immensely in that short amount of time as well." taking a breather because I said a lot in a short amount of time, "All around the world, kids do not finished there work on time or incapable of doing their work, because they don't have the help of educator or do not grasp the questions at hand. And I don't have any exact numbers how many, but if you looked through social media you could see how it effected them, many hours online they pass up to quill their boredom, and thanks to this destructive method. They just became stupid as hell." I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm, well you really didn't answer her question but only said your problems. Your turn Miss. Chika" the teacher pointed.

"Yes I see." she nodded at my statement, "Some of your problems hold value. But it's can not hold a candle to our current problems." she snapped me a look, "Mr. Grey I know you understand what happened this year to our world right." I nodded "Many problems arise in all form of system in the world, education, economic, workplace, healthcare, etc. Our world need all the resources it can for us to fight back the 'Helo' virus, I say we put our resources into healthcare." she said with confidence, and I'm not surprised, since we met, all she talked about the 'Helo' virus.

"And care to a laboratory on this idea?" the teacher said.

"Gladly." she hummed, "Our brave medic and researcher are fighting the virus as we speak. Many medic are tending to the sick and infected every passing day, risking themselves to infection every time they work, many not making it home to their families or friends and can't go home, because of the high demand from them to work every day." the way she said made some people cry a bit, "And the researchers, are trying to find a single clue after that careless researcher's 'vaccine' for the 'Helo' virus just helped mutant it and now making its lethal just by getting it in a week time, and it because of this research, he dishonor my family name and I'll seek to make amends from his mistake." she bowed her head down, taking the blame for his mistakes on her shoulders.

After her speech, most were moved to tear and how she'll bear the mistake of the researcher. And thinking it was done. I only laughed at her statements. Everyone looked shocked or were upset I laughed at her.

"Sorry, sorry it was just funny how it makes all sense why you only talked about 'Helo' virus when we first met." I wiped a tear for laughing pretty hard, "It's just so stupid for your reasoning why you kept going on, I thought maybe it'll be a cliche backstory like 'The 'Helo' virus took someone important' or something, but this is more clincher then I imagined." I think I was done my good laugh, till one of the simp came in "Hey! She just told a very emotional story with us." they started agreeing what he said.

"Yeah."

"Who's this guy?"

"He speaking high for someone whose a common folk."

"Trash."

I was a little surprised that's the teacher was just letting them go on with their onslaught of words, 'Can none be original here?' I mean there supposed to be 'noble' students who comes from a different clot, 'Boring.' I sighed. "Oi." I looked back them, "Can't you see you see we haven't finished?" I gave them probably a hard gaze.

"Since you done and it was your last turn, I'll just go ahead, because some people are unreliable here." I said looking the teacher whom looked like he was on the edge of passing out.

"Miss. Chika, I agree with your reasoning wholeheartedly, they deserve more then any system. They work hard to protect us every day, there no way in denying that, but you haven't seen the bigger picture." I paused for dramatic effect, "A wise person said 'The early bird gets the worm, but the hunter always wait for his prey to make a move first' or something like that? My interpretation of this saying is looking at what could happen if you choose to act first or seeing how it's plays out at first then making a move second. And any philosophy all say what could happen after the event is done." I again pause for dramatic effect then slamming my hands down on the desk, "What's I'm proposing is a answer for our problem! What do you do with a infected arm? There's only two options available to take care of it. You care for it till it's cure, wasting precious time and letting others people bite the bullet for your gain? Or second, cutting it off so it won't infect the rest of the body." I coldly said that's last part.

The teacher had this intrigued looked after I spoke my reason "Care to a laboratory Mr. Grey?" now curious were I was going with this.

"Gladly. My strangers, there's is no doubt that's the 'Helo' virus have gotten out of hand dramatically after that idiot's 'vaccine' made its debut just half a year, taking over 25,00,069 deaths and cases or something, I can't be bothered to remember all the case and death, but it's was around there the last I checked." once I reminded everyone that's grim truth, they were disgusted or disappointed, "And I can't see us fixing this at all, there are too much people who dead in the later generations and all most cutting off the past generations, so I say we should be putting our faith in this generation who could survive this outbreak." I let my plan out in the open, everyone was disturbed by plan, "Look around my fellow strangers. What Miss. Chika said about our problems and our failing systems are all coming down hill! Our wise elders leaving us with no wisdom, only problems to fix! Then the next generation after them were supposed to protect us from harm! To only create something that's left only death!" I yelled giving it my all, "That's is why I'm asking for the resources for our educational system, to teach the next generation and relayed on them to fix this problem we created from them." I calmed down after I was done my reason.

"So you tell us to push our problems to the next generations?" Nicole asked while smiling at my answer.

"Yes, I'm not gonna beat around the bush and put it lightly like we are too sensitive about this." I nod

"Hmm, so you're going to burdened the next generation with that's high expectations you set on them? Isn't that's too much for these students if you called them 'Stupid as hell' just a minute ago? How do you expect them to fix our problems if we could not fix it ourselves?" she question quickly while being emotionally about it.

"The line between stupid and incredible is far from each others, and the next generation are incredible stupid for wasting their time every day doing nothing, but they're just waiting to show their worth, it's incredible stupid." I smiled at my reason.

"So your answer in fixing our problems is leaving it to our undeveloped generation? If we choose this, people will die from the lack of resources in the healthcare system, so are you saying we should abandon our brave medic!?" she getting more emotional at my plan to the point in tears.

"Miss. Chika. Both choices will let to the death of millions, we can try to make a actually vaccine and try to cure the 'Helo' virus, but we all know that's the steps required to do so will let to deaths of trial and error, even if we acknowledge those deaths. My plan is to buy us more time, our predecessor before and there predecessor always left the next generation with their problems, racialism, slavery, cultural differences, war, and a warmer world. Most of these problems were solved by later generations, and I don't see us fixing our problems any time soon, with all the idiots making the virus mutant every time they think they got it." I sighed

"So is that's it? Every choice we make will lead to blood shed and deaths?" she had some tears going down and her sounded defeated.

"Every problems we tried to fixed about this world came from blood shed and deaths, I don't see how this problem isn't any different from all them." I said emotionless

"But I'll say this, today's we make a choice, either choice will paint us as evil person who didn't value the people who'll die in this choice." I looked to them, "But I have a saying, 'Nobody is good or evil, they just made a choice.' so now I'm asking you to make a choice." I closed my case.

They were murmuring after my case and the teacher looked satisfied with both of our arguments, and feeling like I did a good enough job, I when back to my desk, but a little duckling started following me back as well.

"Okay you little shits, you'll vote by putting a little paper inside the box and we'll count them and see who won the argument." he said getting the box under his desk.

'Was that's bo-' "Good job out there Grey." I was interrupted by Nicole again sneaking up on me.

"Is this gonna be a reoccurring thing between us?" I had enough with how she could easily sneak behind me with ease

"With you're performance I'll say you might be seeing me do our little encounter more often." she winked.

"Hey since we have time, why are you so sneaky considering your pretty thic-" I couldn't finish my sentence after she started pulling on one of my ear hard.

"Mind finishing your sentence?" she smiled while giving that's gaze

"A-ah, I was going to say how can you be sneaky while you hide such beautiful face." I actually felt fear if I said something wrong.

After that's scary situation I been put into, she accepted what I said while taking the compliment. We started talking about the team and people on their.

First was Damien Kolenka, she express how annoying he was with his nonstop simping for anything that's moves, and then after her complaints about him, she started going into the point why she tolerate him in the first place. Damien's family have a pretty sizable name in Russia and started slowing trying to move it name to America, trying to build up its reputation, his family deals in marketing and goods. Not as big as her family but, once she met him in a fancy party hosted by his family, she noticed the eagerness in his eyes to prove his worth, so she took him into her team and helped him ever since.

We couldn't finish talking about the others because the teacher finally gotten the votes in, "All right." he said now opening the box, "I'm going to count the votes and I'll tell whose won." he started counting for a minute while looking at the votes, "Annnnd, it's a tie." he threw the last one not caring where he threw it.

Everyone was shocked and one of the 'noble' got inferior by the result, "How could this 'common' smock match the skill to Nicole Chika?!" he slammed his hand down, "Now now little prince, you all chose in this debate fairly." he said sitting down looking at his clip bored now looking for new people to debate "I cannot accept this!" he then rise up from his desk and pointed at me, "You must have done something that made you tie with Miss. Chika!" he said trying to defend her honor.

I was about to get into another battle of wit again a third time today, till. Once I looked back after getting up, Mr. Smirnov was at his back, staring down at him, what frightened me most were there wasn't any sound that indicated he gotten up from his chair or how he quickly cover the distance between him in that's short amount of time while being quiet the whole walked their.

"Enough now." he said flicking his finger at him behind at his back head. "You're in my class. So behave and try to use your head if you think you're going to make a scene again."

After he was done doing that's, everyone was shocked at his speed for his drunken state, I wanted to see if that'll shock Nicole at all, but she only looked unimpressed by his actions, nor speed.

"Now, I know mostly everyone upset about it being a tie, and I for one is surprised by Mr. Grey performances as well." he clapped at my performance, "Already next unimportant people come up!." he yelled.

Thinking I could maybe get some rest in this class for my own pleasure, I felt someone sitting near me...

"Actually great job out there Grey-kun, I could tell you're going to fit in well with our team with your talent." she hummed.

"Hmm, Are they really gonna let me in after I just tied with you? Weren't they expecting me to win that's argument?" I asked thinking if I actually gotten the part.

"All of the others members couldn't even bestest me in their own talents. I could say that you managed to draw with me is more impressive." she said.

"Is that's soooooooo...." it's was kinda awkward between us, "You have a personality? Or are you just perfect in every way?" I looked around trying to quell my boredom.

"Huh, are you going be annoying like Damien? Well your compliments are better then his so that's a given." she started checking her phone.

"Well that's wasn't a compliment but you can take that's as it is." I wanted a skipped button from this awkward moment.

"You just wanna tell our others members? Maybe that'll make this less awkward if we actually have something to talk about." I pulled her phone down, making her pay attention to me and my boredom.

"My~ is this little puppy in need of some attention? I can't let it keep barking." she smiled knowingly that's speak my interests.

"Hmm, so you like to know keep a watchful eye on people eh." I didn't know how she knew my friendly encounter with that's puppy early.

"Just know this Grey." she came up close to me, to the point where she was at me ear, "I have eyes and ears where everywhere I go, it'll be in you're best interested to not go against me." she bite me earlobe after she was done.

After she backed up from me, I started rubbing my poor earlobe, "I don't really know why people love getting their earlobe bitten, it's hurt like hell."

Once we were done talking and being bored from this class now that's Nicole left me alone for the rest of the class. I just zoned out the rest of the class and waiting for the last of the class. At least the last class is going be a class where I could be with Liz and Nix, so I guess that's at plus, I think?
