Chapter 3: Kokuhaku

Victim number 1:

A boy is about to make a love confession to a beautiful girl at a dark classroom hallway.

This boy is normal in every way.

Not bad nor good in academics, charms, looks and what's so over.

What's so good about a normal boy or people in general?

The answer is, they are the most honest in society.

In what way?

Normal people pay taxes fairly, they never attempt to commit a crime, they go with the flow of society and they are the ones that helps the economy.

In other words, most normal people are law abiding citizens who are a great asset to the entire universe.

So what fate awaits this normal boy in his confession?

Let's find out.

The normal boy's heart is pounding, his temperature is rising, his legs are shivering as he's about to make his confession.

Sophie Ferz, who is the target of his confession stares at him with her oh so ever cheerful facial expression.

The boy muster up all his courage, executes a bow nervously and shouts out loud in a hoarse voice.

"I-I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU! P-PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!"

Sophie with her oh so ever cheerful expression response to his love confession in a cute manner.

"Why thank you but you are not my type. Sorry."

As the normal boy heard her rejection, his feelings are in tatters. Because of that, he couldn't help but ask her this question.

"W-who's your type then?"

Sophie place her right index finger at the right side of her head while looking up at the ceiling and saying...

"Hmmm..."

Because of her action, her charm increases and the boy couldn't help but blush as he stares at her.

After few seconds, Sophie comes up with a conclusion.

"Someone like Linel."

The normal boy asks about it.

"Linel? The principal's grandson?"

"Yeah! That Linel!"

And Sophie answered his question cheerfully.

As the boy heard that, he couldn't help but asks this.

"Why?"

"Why?"

Sophie places her right index finger at the right side of her head while looking up at the ceiling once again.

"Hmmm..."

Because of that, the normal boy couldn't help but blush as he stares at her.

After few seconds, she makes her conclusion.

"Because he's rich, kind, generous and good looking. Not to mention, he's the principal's grandson. I can ask favors from him easily. Did I also mention that he's rich and generous also good looking? So, that's why he's my type."

As the normal boy heard that, he felt that his heart has been torn apart.

He lost confidence at himself.

Why did he loose confidence at himself?

He is neither rich nor good looking.

He isn't the principal's grandson nor relative or what so ever.

As for generosity and kindness, these two traits of his is fairly normal like any other normal people in the entire universe.

So he couldn't brag about it.

The normal boy silently stares at the floor while his heart is aching from sadness.

After few seconds of silence, Sophie bid her farewell.

"If that's all, I'll be going now so laterz!"

Sophie walks away.

The normal boy who is depressed from being rejected silently stares at the floor.

Let's find out.

The normal boy's heart is pounding, his temperature is rising, his legs are shivering as he's about to make his confession.

Wren Fenrisel who is the target of his confession stares at him with her oh so ever annoyed facial expression.

Wren, who is getting impatient with the normal boy, commands him.

"Hurry up and get on with it!"

As the boy heard that, he musters up all his courage, executes a bow nervously and shouts out loud in a hoarse voice.

"I-I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU! P-PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!"

Wren glares at him and says her answer.

"No!"

After that, she walks away.

The normal boy who was flatly rejected, couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction.

"W-w-w-wait! Please don't go! Tell me why first!"

Wren who is ticked off by the normal boys demand, turns around and say her piece.

"Why do I have to explain to the likes of you?!"

The normal boy who was faced with that question, muster up all his courage and say his answer.

"B-because I want to know..."

"You want to know huh..."

Wren approaches the normal boy furiously.

For some reason, the normal boy face became flush red as he stares at the approaching Wren.

As Wren is near him, she says her answer.

"Because you are just a nobody who is weak, ugly and way over your head which is not up to my standards. Now, quit wasting my time and go away!"

As the normal boy heard Wren's answer, his feelings are in tatters.

He couldn't help but ask this.

"Wh-who is in your standards then?"

Wren got angry to the normal boy's question and rebukes him.

"Who gave you permission to ask me that question?!"

The normal boy got agitated by Wren and decided to pester her by making assumptions.

"Now that I think about it, I heard a rumour that you went on a date with that principal's grandson back at Scorpio space city. What's his name again? Linel?"

Wren's face became flush red because of his assumption.

The normal boy took notice of it and decided to use it against her.

"So I'm right... You like Linel. Anyway, if I were you, I would give up on him and look for somebody else. I heard that he's a mega playboy."

Wren got furious by the normal boys statement.

"You dare insult me!"

She shoots a fire bolt a the normal boy.

Boosh*

The fire bolt grazes his right cheek and went past him.

Since the fire bolt was so fast, his right cheek didn't get burned.

The normal boy is overwhelmed with fear for his life and collapses to the cold hard floor.

After he collapses, Wren warns him.

"Don't you dare talk to me ever again! Got that?"

The normal boy who is fear struck noded obediently.

"NOW GET LOST!"

The boy quickly got up and runs away like a cowardly chicken.

...

Victim number 3:

Another normal boy who is the future asset of the universe is about to make a love confession to a beautiful girl in the all so ever famous dark classroom hallway.

It is probably hallway confessions is a trend amongst normal boy these days.

Will this normal boy be able to attain happiness?

Let's find out.

The normal boy's heart is pounding, his temperature is rising, his legs are shivering as he's about to make his confession.

Clarissa Avel, who is the target of his confession stares at him with her oh so ever cute and humble facial expression.

The boy muster up all his courage, executes a bow nervously and shouts out loud in a hoarse voice.

"I-I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU! P-PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!"

Clarissa, who got startled by his confession, executes a bow and apologizes.

"I'm sorry! I already have someone I like."

Because of Clarissa's rejection, his feelings are in tatters.

He couldn't help but pry into the matter.

"Who is it that you like?"

Without even thinking deeply, she said her answer.

"It's Bat Man."

The normal boy thinks to himself if there's a student named "Bat Man" in this school.

He couldn't recall any student named Bat Man, so he took out his cell phone and opens the student profile app.

As he opened the student profile app, he types the words "Batman" on the search bar and presses the search button.

After few seconds, this appears on his screen.

Search results for Bat Man 0

Since he was so desperate, he tried different types of spelling for Batman but couldn't find any results.

So he tried searching it on the uninet.

As he searches Batman on the uninet, all he get is information about a dark caped crusader who goes around town at night beating up criminals till they are comatose.

Since he did not get the information he needed, he decided to ask Clarissa.

"Hey! Which class is he in?"

"..."

But there was no response.

He looks towards where Clarissa is and he found out that she is already gone.

The reason why Clarissa left it is not that because she ran away from him but it is because that the bell had already rang signaling the end of lunch break.

Of course Clarissa is not heartless enough to leave without saying goodbye, so she said her farewell before leaving.

The normal boy didn't notice all that because he was intently searching for Bat Man.

He got the wrong idea which made his heart torn into two and became depressed.

...

Victim number 4:

Aeris Hope, who is the target of his confession stares at him with her usual approachable and kind facial expression.

The boy muster up all his courage, executes a bow nervously and shouts out loud in a hoarse voice.

"I-I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU! P-PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!"

Aeris didn't get startled by his love confession nor she was excited since she's being confessed by a lot of boys on a daily basis.

In other words, she is used to it.

Aeris kindly tells him her answer.

"I'm sorry. I can't go out with you, but we could be friends if you want."

The normal boy who wasn't satisfied with Aeris' answer so he decided to asks about it.

"Why can't you go out with me? Is there somebody else you like? Am I not your type? Are you engaged? Who's the lucky guy?"

Aeris, who was suddenly bombarded with questions, gave a wary look.

"I-it's not anything like that. I just- I just cannot go out with anyone. I'm so sorry."

The boy felt guilty for putting Aeris in a tight spot so he apologizes and walks away afterwards.

The four normal boys who got rejected, that day, wept in their sleep.

The next day, these four normal boys decided to investigate the source of their rejection.
