Chapter 2 - [Gathering]

It was already Eleven PM. And here I am Having a walk with Kushida.

Well atleast that's what I'd like to imagine. In truth we were just going back to our respective rooms after my extensive explanations about the recent Island Exams.

Based on her reaction then she must be satisfied with it.

"You go on ahead Kushida" I spoke breaking the silence "I'll just grab something to drink first"

"Is that so? Well I'll be going ahead then! Good Night Ayanokōji-kun!" She waved me farewell with a beaming smile.

I watched her retreating back as I stood there in complete silence.

"Well, it would be bad if someone saw us together in the middle of the Night" I murmured to myself.

Misunderstanding would likely happen so it's better to play it safe.
Staying true to my words nonetheless, I made my way to the nearest Vending Machine to but a drink.

Walking all alone, I spotted a familiar figure in the dark just meters away from my destination.

Chabashira Sae

Our little interaction that night is still fresh in my memory. While I didn't like what she attempted, I don't particularly hate her for it.

Getting blinded by her goals is just another occurrence in life after all.

Now it seemed like she noticed my Approach since she stopped smoking and looked at my Direction.

What to do....? Hmmm..

Well since this was most likely a coincidence I did the most logical thing to do:

Ignore her

I kept walking, nodding slightly as a form of greeting and continued to walk....

"Oi" the moment I passed her, a hand was suddenly placed on my shoulder stopping me in my tracks

'sigh' well it was worth the try

"Good Evening Sensei" I Forced every inch and Fiber of My body to greet her politely

"Save It. What the hell happened there?" She asked me in a demanding tone.

I heaved a heavy sigh and spoke "Can... I atleast get something to drink first?" Pointing at the Vending Machine just further away from us, I asked her

Slowly, she took her hand to herself. Honestly it's not like I would run.

Going back to my original intention. I proceeded to get a drink. As an act of kindness I bought two:

One for Me and And one for Chabashira-sensei.

Finished buying, I returned to where Sensei was - who was keeping an Eye at me The whole Time.

"It's not like I'd run to escape you know" I spoke to her as Soon as I arrived

"...Just making sure" She answered.
I offered her the drink I bought to which she looked at suspiciously

"It's just an act of Kindness" I spoke before she thinks of any wild thought

"That's weird coming from you but I'll take it" She took the drink of my hand with a slight Thanks

"So?" She Continued "what Happened with the result?" She asked getting straight to the point

I checked our surroundings first. Making sure no ones nearby. Taking a sip from the drink a bought I then let out a deep sigh

"I just got bored" I answered casually as I could. She obviously won't believe it but who knows

"Don't mess with me" She Glared at me in a gesture to take this seriously
"You told me that You want a peaceful life here. That's reason why I tried to Blackmail you in the first place right?"
