Chapter 25 - A Book of Strategies and Tactics

Third person POV

 Later after school, Roxas was about to go home with his friends when Evil Klein came and asked them if they, or any of them, wanted to battle him in a battle. Upon hearing that, Roxas and his friends were stunned with mild fear and refused his offer.

 "No thanks…"

 "Nope!"

 "Maybe not…"

Evil Klein understood their decision and went off while telling them that battling is basically and literally a death sentence.

They were scared of him, but Roxas was not that afraid.

 Later on, at 5:20 p.m., shortly after resting up in his room, Roxas was at his desk writing something on pieces of paper. His writings at this point are his tactics and strategies for his main task given by Anko. Those things had been done, tested, and proven by him yesterday. But, he decided to compile them into one book in the form of a dedicated notebook.

 So, Roxas went to his shelf to look for any blank and empty notebooks, only to see that all of them are partially filled with a couple of pages of text and taped photos and such. Because of that, before eating dinner with his friends, Roxas went out to a store that opens always at 7 a.m. every day. That store is nearby and small, and also selling high-quality school supplies at cheap prices. There the young foreigner picked up 2 small notebooks, which are in dark blue, leather-bound, case-bound by binding method, and has an elastic band closure, a back pocket, and dual, ribbon bookmarks in red and white. Their pages are in vintage shade, lined by page layout, and has a GSM of 100.

 After that, Roxas went up to the cashier to pay for them. The total price was 500 Gold Yen, but he considered that as dirt cheap. After paying for it, Roxas left the store happily with his paper bag of purchases.

 Once that was done, he went to the neighborhood's park to have some quiet time. There Roxas sat on a wooden bench and opened one of the two notebooks, before opening it and examining it by flipping the pages. Acting like a stationery connoisseur, Roxas saw that it was really good to use. So, he grabbed his pen and started writing the title page in the first page after the end pages. After that and some elaborations of foreign words in Khmer, Spanish, Vietnamese, Burmese, and Korean in the title page, Roxas now listed his tactics and strategies in the third page, writing in detail and using the if-then technique as a template for them.

 But, Evil Klein was spying at him while hiding behind a wall in the park, wondering what Roxas was up to. Roxas was having a quiet time at this point yet remained alert and vigilant on any possible happening. Roxas now called his notebook the Book of Strategies and Tactics.
