The Truth

Tuesday : 2nd days

~ Aron POV ~

We were at the end of the morning, and while I was walking on the campus I received a notification from the director who told students to join this in the polling station. I then opened the campus card to find my destination and started to analyze it. In the center this finds the school, to the north there are the dormitories of the elite sector composed of 3 buildings, the 2 buildings side by side on 12 floors and the fact that there are two to separate the girls from boys. Each floor can accommodate 10 individual rooms which makes a total of 120 bedroom per buildings, therefore 240 students in the elite sector, the third building is a cafeteria so that the students can eat right next. In the south there are the dormitories of students who are part of different sectors other than that of the elites and which has many more dormitories because they are much more numerous, around 7,000 students. In the east there are the dormitories of teachers and school staff. And to the west there is a large leisure space with shops, restaurants, sports halls, cinemas, ect ... The polling station is in the school, therefore in the center.

While I was heading for my destination I began to rethink the director's speech that he had pronounced after the end of the exam yesterday. He had been just as boring as the first speech, however he had allowed me to have some information. First, the school year is divided into 3 semesters, and at the end of each semester there is a new special examination to see if we are able to continue in this sector. Secondly out of the 500 students registered in the first year only a hundred had successfully completed the false exam and were therefore in the mouse team, and only 75 survivors remain. I also learned how the school system works. First of all, the 75 students remain dispatched into 3 classes of 25 students. And there is a point system, the class points which allow to have a classification between the 3 classes, and the points of the students which allow you to buy anything through the different stores and restaurants that it There is in the campus. The students' points are useful because, in addition to our phones, we were removed our wallets.

Class points and students are calculated in different ways.

-Classpoints: Each week there is a written exam noted out of 100, the average of the class to the control corresponds to the number of class points allocated.

-Ses students: The total number of class points is multiplied by 100 and this result is individually distributed to each student in the class at the beginning of the month.

To start the first week each student received 10,000 points which appeared in the Bank application of the phone.

The classes are classified in this order:

-Alpha

-Beta

-Omega

It is important to be well classified because the class where you are will be marked in the school bulletin.

Since I was already walking around, I didn't take long before I arrived in front of school. When I returned I noticed that the card of my phone is automatically enlarged to show the detailed plan of the interior of the school, which allowed me to find the polling room.

When I returned there was no one apart from me and a red hair boy with the eyes of the same colors.

It's normal because I had already advanced while walking around in the campus, but how did he do it ? Was he already close to the school when the message was sent ?

While I was thinking about a familiar voice took me from my thoughts.

"Aron ! Hi !"

I turned around and saw Naomi with all the others who greeted me.

Naomi : Why didn't you join us so that we can go to school together ?

Me : In fact I was already near the school when the director sent a message suddenly I went there alone.

Haruki : Why were you so close ?

Me : I wandered that's all.

They seem rather serene for people who have seen corpses for the first time. Unless...

I still run into my thoughts but this time it was by the director on the platform who began to speak.

Director : If I have gathered you all here it is so that you can vote.

While the tension increased gradually and the students began to discuss between them, it resumed.

Director : But no concern this time there will be no losers there are only winners. Those who will succeed in the vote will have 10,000 points. The others will not be penalized. So it's easy right ?

The tension in the room descended and the expression on the faces of the students revealed a certain relief.

Director : I will ask a question and you must write the answer to one of the white bulletins that are being distributed and put this bulletin in the ballot box in front of me. The question is how many students died during the previous test ? You have 5 minutes to mark your answer, then put yourself in a single line in front of the platform, you will put your ballots in the ballot box one by one.

The agitation included

Students 1 : What is this question ?

Students 2 : He believes that I counted all the corpses that I saw !

Student 3 : No but serious ....

None of us took the trouble to consult and everyone had reflected individually. After doing what the director said he announced the results.

Director : 9 students found the right answer. Aron, Sora, Manon, Léna, Kenta, Shikaku, Akari, Naomi and Haruki. The right answer was ... 0 ! ! !

Students : whaaaaaaath ! ! !

To the expressions of the students the director is laughing.

Director : Did you really think that our school had the right to kill the students? Even with the requirements of the elite sector this would tighten unthinkable.

By cons hurt is authorized ...

Director : You are so stupid that it makes me want to send you everyone except those who have succeeded. But hey, I said that there would be no sanction, and I am a man of speech.

The students, in shock, asked for an explanation. What the director is about to do.

Director : First of all, the chip in the cat's brain sends a discharge, but it is not enough to kill someone, it only temporarily assumes. Then the poison in the tin syringe only a tranquilizer.

While the director was giving explanations to the students I decided to join my group of friends.

Me : Naomi, Haruki, then you guessed. That's why you were less tense this morning.

Naomi : And yes I guessed !

She said, wink

Haruki : It was trotting in my head so I spent the whole evening yesterday thinking about it and I finally arrived at this conclusion.

Naomi : Besides, why are you not surprised for Kenta?

Aron : Because he had already guessed him.

Haruki and Naomi : What ? !

Haruki and Naomi turned to Kenta who seemed embarrassed.

Me : I have analyzed your combat techniques and they approach those used by the special military forces. So when I showed you the syringe containing the so -called poison I thought that if you had really been trained by a combat specialist he probably had showed the difference between a deadly poison and a simple tranquilizer. And with your mind for puzzles and puzzles I told myself that you had surely guessed.

Kenta scratches her head before answering

Kenta : Yes it's true ...

Naomi : Huh but why didn't you say it earlier ? I was crying I remind you !

Kenta : Sorry but I told myself that I had to find myself allies of sizes who could pass the next events without being a burden, so I wanted to test you. Isn't that what you did too?

Me : Yes indeed, we can't hide anything of you tell me.

Naomi wanted to get angry with us but after listening to this reasons which was understandable she resumed.

Naomi : Yes I understand, and then to a certain extent you helped us evolve our personal reflection...

Haruki : Yes and...

He cut it and resumed

Haruki : And you ?

Me : I only read the school contract in full, which you had to sign before registering. It was written that you could only be injured but nothing said you could be killed. I think that's also how the others who passed the vote should have done it.

Haruki : Okay, but how did the other 3 know that we were being tested by you ? Léna told us about a 4th member who was killed and how did Manon know that we had to pretend to kill the cats ?

Léna, Sora and Manon arrived and joined the discussion.

Lena : He told us through a secret code that only we understand and which combines several discreet gestures and movements.

Besides Kenta spotted our signs but he could not understand them.

After saying that Lena looked at Naomi with an amused air.

Naomi : Ah ok. Can you teach us ?

Lena : mmmm... why not.

Me : Well I ...

I also wanted to answer Naomi but the director cut me again.

Director : Tomorrow you would be dispatched to you by class according to your notes from the false test, you will get to know your new comrades and new teachers. Thursday and Friday there will be various activities. And Monday there will be the election of the delegates and also the election of the members of the student council. Now it's time to leave the establishment. It will be noon so take the opportunity to go for a walk in the campus and eat something.

Interesting, the following three days are made so that the students can bring this bringing together, create links between them and thus allow to choose who to vote for the elections.

**********

So we went to the west of the campus to find a restaurant.

~~

Haruki : Why didn't we just go to the cafeteria ?

Naomi : The cafeteria is next to dormitories for those who are hungry during the night when we lazy, like you. I want to eat in a real restaurant you don't agree with friends ?

Manon: I don't care, time I eat it suits me.

Kenta: I need suitable food for my body so I think a restaurant is a better options than a simple cafeteria.

Léna : The more expensive, the better.

Sora : I follow Aron.

Haruki turns to Aron

Aron : I don't like much but on the other hand I love to eat, so I prefer to taste the best dishes in a real restaurant.

Haruki taken up with a resigned air

Haruki : Okay, I understood, goes for the restaurant.

After visiting a few restaurants, they finally decided to go to "Golden Chicken Tasty"

Aron : Super I love the chicken !!!

As Aron precipitated the inside naomi seemed surprised by his reaction.

Naomi : I didn't think Aron liked to eat as much.

Sora approached Naomi's ear and said to him.

Nova : It seems that father collected Aron when he was 7 years old, he was on the street, abandoned and hungry.

Naomi : Oh I didn't know ...

Sora walked away and he continued to speak to him with a charming smile, which made Naomi out of his sad air.

Sora : But hey as you have seen he has evolved well since.

Naomi : Yes it's true.

Léna: hurry up where you don't keep your places.

Sora shouted towards the others who were already seated

Sora : Yes we arrive!

Then he returned to Naomi

Nova : Let's go.

Naomi nodded with a smile

Naomi : Yes.

**********

While everyone was eating Naomi stood up.

Naomi : I'm going to the toilet.

The boy with hair and red eyes that Aron had seen earlier was sitting at the bottom of the restaurant and he got up at the same time to follow Naomi.

When Naomi went to the sink to wash her hands she was intercepted by the boy.

??? : Hello Naomi.

Naomi : Uh ... Hello. Who are you ?

??? : My name is Akari. And if you don't mind I would like to ask you a few questions.

~ Naomi pov ~

Me : What kind of questions?

The boy started to blush slightly and he avoided visual contact with me.

Akari : I wanted to speak with you but I see that you are already busy with your friends. So if it tells you ... Do you want us to discuss another time around a drink ?

I dream where this guy offers me a date !!! My heart is already taken but why not ? After all it is not even sure that my love is reciprocal.

I tried to hide my excitement before answering him.

Me : Yes with pleasure. In a cafe tomorrow at noon, does that tell you ?

The boy made a slight burst of surprise.

Akari : Really !? Uh sorry I wanted to say, yes it suits me.

Me : Well, it's settled tomorrow.

Akari : or ... yes see you tomorrow.

The boy hurries.

Well, I didn't think I attract someone's eye from the first day. You have to believe that I am prettier than I think.

After that I went back with my friends.

~~

Manon : Ah bah finally! What took you so long ?

Naomi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to approach this subject.

Naomi : Eh how to say ... a boy invited me for a date.

To these words everyone looked at the intrigued air, then they all put questions to him. Lena began and wink at Naomi.

Léna : If you want I can teach you some seduction techniques.

Naomi replied without hesitation.

Naomi: No thank you I'm not really trying to seduce it I am just intrigued.

Léna : Okay it's like you want.

Kenta : I hope he's nice, if he hurts you don't hesitate to call me so that I can break his bones.

Naomi : Uh I don't think it's necessary ...

Manon : I also want a lover it's not just!

Naomi : Don't worry I'm sure you will find one.

Naomi struggled to answer everyone, but fortunately for her Aron was too busy eating, while Sora and Haruki said nothing and the contents of listening.

After everyone has finished eating and Naomi ends up answering the questions, he all left for dormitories.

~ Aron POV ~

It was dark and when we arrived in front of the two buildings we separated from the girls. But while I was about to enter in the boys' dormitory, a notification made my phone vibrate.

Sora : What are you doing ? Come on.

Me : I'm going to buy something in the cafeteria so go without me.

Sora : Uh ok. Good night.

Kenta and Haruki : Good night Aron.

I smile before answering

Me : Good night.

I pretended to go to the cafeteria but when I felt that they had returned I headed at the back of the girls' dormitories.

Me : Did you want to see me ?

Léna : Yes, I would like to teach you.

Me : About what ?

Léna : About Father.

Me : ...

Lena : For the moment he is not aware that Sora Senpai is with you and that he found you. But he will know it sooner or later, and at that moment, to prevent Sora Senpai from being punished too heavily by father ...

Lena cut herself for a moment before resuming in a more serious and threatening tone.

Léna : So I will not hesitate to deliver you by will or by force. I know rumors and I know what you did 7 years ago, but I'm not afraid to make a lot of Taffron.

To these words I let out a slight laugh.

Me : I had already guessed the why you wanted to see me but I didn't think you would be so afraid. I understood but now hold your expression or you will have wrinkles.

To my words Lena resumed her usual expression, as if she had not just threatened me right now.

Lena : Yes you're right. Well now that the message has passed I will go to sleep. Good night Aron.

Me : Good night.

Then she left as if nothing was.

After that I headed for the boys' dormitory and I went up to my room which was on the 3rd floor.

The 12 floors are distributed like this:

1/2/3/4 : 1st year

5/6/7/8 : 2nd year

9/19/11/12 : 3rd year

And it's the same for the girls' dormitory.

Arrived in my room I took a shower, lengthened in my bed and thought about before sleeping.

I wanted to go to this restaurant precisely because I noticed that this boy was there. But I didn't think he was going to ask for a date with Naomi...

While I was thinking of this red hair boy, I remembered conversation with Lena.

Léna is very intelligent and she is a very useful ally after all she is part of the 8th generation and it is the only people of the 8th generation with Manon who managed to officially join the Rosary and to be able to carry out missions outside of the territory. Even Sora has recognized its value.

But if it puts it in my way,

SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ELIMINATE IT.
