23 5 - Part B:

"Huff* Huff* Are they gone?"

I was hiding inside the boy's comfort room at the third floor hoping that they lost track of me.

If they knew I was here and was waiting for me to come out, I plan to wait here till they get impatient and leave.

It surely is dark here compared to the other comfort rooms.

I wonder why the lights aren't on.

This kind of scenery reminds me of a retro horror game that I used to play where in there is a dead body that hang itself inside the toilet cubicle.

Khoooooooohhhkkk*

What the hell was that? It sounded like someone was being choked to death.

Khoooooooooooooohhhhhk*

Holy crap!

I decided to leave this place.

As I exited the comfort room.

"There you are!"

I've been spotted by the pink hair girl.

"Everyone! He's here!"

The pink hair girl shouted to notify the other girls.

I quickly run back in the boy's comfort room out of impulse.

Few minutes later...

I could here voices of the three girls outside talking to each other while waiting for me to come out.

Khoooooooooohhhhhk*

Not to mention the choking sound is creeping me out.

Khoooooooooohhhk*

"Damn it!"

I muster up my courage and open the cubicle where the sound was coming from.

Creeeek* Khooooohhhhk* Thud*

I opened the cubicle and found out who was making that creepy sound. A boy wearing a bonnet fell down as the door was opened.

That boy was Zack.

"Zack what the hell are you doing in there?"

I said while feeling a bit relieved.

"Linel dude? Is that you?"

Zack said while his face was still planted on the floor.

"Who else would it be?"

I answered him sarcastically.

"Dude!"

Zack quickly gets up and shakes my hand violently.

"Welcome to the club dude!"

I try to quickly analyze what Zack just said but I couldn't find any sense in it.

I couldn't help but to react.

"Wait a minute! What?"

"Welcome to the club dude! "

Zack repeated what he said.

I better demand an explanation or else something weird might happen.

"First things first. What do you mean by club? Second, what the hell are you doing in there?"

"Dude this is the sleeping club!"

He answered my first question.

"Okay... so what are you doing in there?"

I ask my second question while pointing at the cubicle where Zack fell earlier.

"Sleeping dude!"

Figures...

I decided to ask him another question.

"So can you tell me why you are sleeping in there?"

"Club activities dude!"

"I knew that! What I mean to say is, why the hell are you having club activities in there? No, I change my question. Why the hell are you having club activities inside the freaking comfort room!?"

"Because it's cozy dude!"

I'll never get how Zack thinks. I decided to leave Zack and take my chances running away from the three cute girls.

"Good luck with your club activities."

I said while leaving the comfort room.

"Later dude!"

Good there gone! They must have gotten tired of waiting.

I check the list of clubs again to see which one should I go next. As I check the list, I saw the sleeping club on it.

The sleeping club room is in the comfort room where I was earlier.

I must wipe that out of my memory.

Growl*

All this running is making me hungry.

I opened the school map app that I received from Lokki and check where Cafeteria 2 is located at.

This school is so freaking huge despite the number of students here are really few compared to other schools.

I guess it can't be helped since there are only 30% Brainwave users of the total known population in the entire universe and the number one requirement to be enrolled in this school is to be a Brainwave User.

Anyways, the Cafeteria 2 is located at the second floor near the training area 2.

I made way to Cafeteria 2 by following the map.

As I enter the cafeteria...

"Bat Man!"

I was greeted by Clarissa who's wearing an apron over her cute looking casual clothes which is composed of a pink sleeveless shirt with a pinkish-white overall and a gray denim shorts with a matching pink sneakers which really looks good on her.

She runs towards me.

She runs towards me.

"Bat Man I'm so glad to see you!"

She said cheerfully.

"Uh... Yeah..."

This girl is making me flustered.

"So Bat Man are you here to join the cooking club?"

She ask me while grabbing both of my hands.

"Actually I'm here to have a snack. I didn't know this was the cooking club."

I told her half the truth while averting my gaze.

I couldn't tell her that I came here to have some free food.

Growl*

Thanks stomach for the wrong timing!

"Looks like your hungry."

I quietly nodded out of embarrassment.

"Come! Let me cook you something!"

She leads me to one of the table.

This place looks a lot different compared to Cafeteria 1.

This whole place looks exactly like a classy coffee shop where girls will surely hang out.

As I look around my surroundings, I could see students staring at me. Some of them where wearing aprons and some of them were wearing a waiter uniform.

I could understand the apron part but what's with the waiter get up?

I try looking around one more time to see if there's anyone wearing normal clothes like me and sadly there were none.

Looks like I'm the only outsider here. This is making me feel awkward.

"Here you go Bat Man!"

Clarissa places a bowl of noodles on the table with a fork and a small white ladle.

That startled me a bit since I didn't notice her.

I examine the bowl of noodles.

The noodles use for this dish is a white flat transparent one.

The toppings of the noodles are some suspicious green leaves that I have never seen before, thin slices of brown meat that looks like beef and semicircular brown object that is scattered around.The soup that is use for this dish is a clear transparent one that gives a herbal aroma.

The soup that is use for this dish is a clear transparent one that gives a herbal aroma.

Growl*

A what the heck? Time to eat.

I shove the fork into the bowl of noodles.

Slurp*

"How is it Bat Man?"

Clarissa asked while staring at me with a worried expression.

"It's so freaking delicious!"

I gave my honest opinion.

"Really??"

Clarissa asked while trying to make sure. I found that really cute.

"Yes seriously! This is the best noodles I have ever tasted."

Phew*

Everyone in the cafeteria sighed in relief. Was everyone watching me?

"I'm glad you like it Bat Man!"

Clarissa said cheerfully while looking relieved.

I've been wondering why she's still calling me Batman even though she already knows my real name.

I better ask about it.

"By the way Clarissa?"

"Yes Bat Man?"

"I'm pretty sure you already know my real name because of gra- I mean my grandfather."

"Yes I know!"

"Then why are you still calling me Batman?"

Clarissa became flustered all of a sudden.

"Because I feel special when I'm the only one who calls you Bat Man..."

She said in a low voice while covering her mouth with a tray that she used to bring the bowl of noodles.

I heard her loud and clear.

It created an embarrassing atmosphere.

I decided to change the subject.

"Uh... By the way, what's the name of this dish?"

I asked while still feeling flustered.

"Oh! This dish is called Pho bo."

She said while returning back to her cheerful self.

Because of that, I returned to my usual self as well.

"Pho bo?"

"Yes Bat Man! Pho bo.

I never heard of Pho bo before. I decided to ask about it.

"Where did Pho bo originate from?"

"Oh! Pho bo originated from a certain country on Earth. In that country, Pho bo means beef noodles."

I knew it! That meat was beef!

There's a lot of planets called Earth in the universe but the most influential one is the one from the milky way galaxy.

I better ask if that's the one.

"Earth as in Earth from the milky way galaxy?"

"Yes that Earth Bat Man!"

"I see... No wonder it's delicious."

Yup Earth culture from the milky way galaxy is the best.

Because of them we have game consoles, movies and anime.

Clarissa looks satisfied at my comment.

"He he he he..."

That was really cute.

I decided to continue eating.

Damn this is so good!

"Clarissa baby! I'm here for- Hey you! What the hell are you doing here with my Clarissa?!"

Do I know this guy?

The guy approaches me like a gangster.

"Hey I'm talking to you!"

I decided to ignore him and continue eating.

"Hey!"

He grabs my collar and pulls me up.

That really pisses me off!

"Didn't I say that if I ever see your face again I'll beat your sorry ass? Huh?!"

"Who're you?"

Seriously who the hell is this guy?

"Huh?!"

As the guy said while looking really pissed.

I decided to apologize, so I could eat in peace.

"Sorry I couldn't remember someone as ugly as you so please understand."

Did that come out right?

"That's it punk! I'm gonna pulverize you!"

I guess not.

He was readying his fist to punch me while I was redying myself to electrocute him.

Clarissa quickly intervenes.

"Please don't hurt him!"

"Clarissa babe! Don't mind me. I'll just teach this punk a lesson."

Good he's distracted. Now's my chance!

"So baby just seat tight and watch while I beat this-"

I lightly tap on his shoulder with my right hand.

Bzzzzzzzzzt*

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh"

He releases me and collapse towards the floor.

Everyone was surprised on what happened including Clarissa.

I decided to finish the left over noodles.

Slurp*

Clap* Clap* Clap* Clap*

Everyone started clapping.

That was unexpected.

"Bat Man that was so amazing!"

"Way to go Linel!"

"Good tactics Linel!"

"You sure show him who's boss!"

"Take that Lover boy!"

"That's what you get for messing with the principals grandson!"

"Kyaaaah! Linel your so cool!"

"Please marry me!"

Alright the last two was creepy since those were guys.

I decided to quickly finish my noodles and leave.

"Found you!"

"You won't escape from me this time!"

Oh crap! Those three again! I thought they had already given up.

"Thanks Clarissa for the food."

I said while quickly standing up after I finished the bowl of noodles.

"You're welcome Bat Man!"

She said while smiling.

"Anyway! Bye!"

I said while making a run for it.

"Come again Bat Man!"

"Hey! Stop running away from us!"

The three girls runs after me.

After Linel exited the cafeteria along with the three girls...

"Sigh* Bat Man is so popular huh..."

Clarissa was sighing while feeling a bit jealous.

"I'll try my best to win his affection!"

Clarissa said encouraging herself.

"What are you mumbling about?"

A girl with long dark brown who's wearing a yellow apron over her jersey was questioning Clarissa.

"Oh! Nothing!"

Clarissa quickly reply while being flustered.

"Really huh..."

The girl with the dark brown hair said not feeling convinced.

"It's nothing! Really! Come on Feini let's go back to the kitchen."

Clarissa said trying to dodge the question while pushing the dark brown hair girl named Feini inside the kitchen.

"Alright Clarissa if you say so!"

Feini said while heading for the kitchen.

If you're wondering what happened to Lover boy, he was dragged out of the cafeteria by a maidbot and was brought into the infirmary.

Everyone decided not to say a word on what Linel did to him.
