"We live in a world where facts are never enough." - Hannah Arendt

School of the elite S students chapter 3

***

An hour had passed after the speech, I intended to go to the toilet before going to school, I walked to the nearest toilet, walked along the corridor with soft gold walls.

I started to get closer, getting closer a high pitched sound started to sound in my ears, I saw a slight gap in the toilet corridor.

Many people were gathering, I was a little curious, but had to watch my behavior in public, as there was a conflict going on in front of the toilet.

"You started it first, you piece of trash."

The loud scream sounded again, I started to flatten my expression, with the aim of not being hit by the stage lights.

"You are weak, you coward."

I was still covering my appearance, I was still standing near the end of the corridor before turning towards the toilet, this place was densely filled with people, I was like someone hiding behind the stage curtain.

I don't know how long this conflict will continue, I just hear it and it feels like when they will have a physical fight.

The person with red hair was holding the red of one of his debating opponents, his right hand was already clenched into a fist, and wanted to direct his punch.

Clap!!!... Clap!!!.... "Good.. Good.., you guys had a fight on your first day, is this the next generation of this most prestigious school?"

The student council president, that was the student council president Nakamura Hakari, he clapped his hands with sarcasm as he pushed his way through the pile of people.

Making the two people who were very arrogant earlier shrink and become afraid, they trembled slightly, with their anxious expressions it should have been seen that they were afraid of Student Council President Nakamura-kun.

"You two, apologize to each other in the student council room in a moment." He quickly left the crowd and walked away, but he passed me by looking at me with his side eye.

He flashed a smile at me.

He looked at me with a threatening look, did he feel rivaled or something? Don't worry, OSIS President, I won't be able to threaten your popularity in this school.

"Are you finish? this is very boring." Said several girls who passed in front of me.

After going to the toilet, and after the conflict, I walked towards the ship's lobby.

My smartphone notification sound vibrated, I immediately took out my phone from my right pocket.

Seeing that there was one message that hadn't been read, it was a message from Akane, I looked at it.

[Where are you?] (Akane)

[On the back deck, what's going on?] (Grey)

[Oh, hurry to the front deck, I'm waiting for you there [happy].] (Akane)

Note: [Happy] is an emoji in chat.

I pressed the on/off button on my cellphone to turn it off, put my cellphone back in my right pocket.

I walked back down the corridor to the back deck, and would soon make my way to the main deck.

I remembered the student council president who gave me a grin, which made his first impression of me as someone who liked to be condescending.

Because the director, principal of the school is being led by Japan, so the head of the student council is also Japanese.

I once read an article that said the Japanese leadership at this school was the best.

I hope so, but there is also an article that says that there is a special exam activity inspired by Bounty hunting in the One Piece manga.

For now I don't really need to think about plans for the exam, but my appearance when I enter.

Should I be cold and expressionless? –no that's too bad and boring.

I came out of the hallway, looking at the mixed blue and orange sky, it seemed like I would soon arrive at my new school.

***

"Grey-Kun, come here." A soft voice rang in my ears, I glanced over my shoulder to look at the digital clock placed above the entrance to the lobby.

After that I walked towards Akane who called my name, she was observing something.

"What is it?"

"Look, that's our school island." Akane pointed her finger straight in front of her.

I turned in the direction Akane was pointing at, showing a large island with a pier that could only accommodate 1 ship, but I was a little surprised by the presence of a cruise ship docked there.

Lots of voices like "Look at that big ship." – "Wow what a beautiful island." These slightly tongue-in-cheek words entered my ears from both men and women.

"So we're in the same class, huh?"

He started this abstract talk? what the purpose is for this and showing the island is just a sideline

"Yes." I'm still looking at the island.

"Is this a coincidence?"

"It seems like."

I looked over my shoulder, seeing Akane who was holding her student card.

With his face red.

The speaker's voice appeared after he last said to be careful while traveling.

"Quickly queue up to get ready to get off, we've almost reached our destination, thank you." The sound of the speakers can be heard throughout the ship.

"Grey, come on."

"Good."

I walked behind Akane who had started walking towards the lobby door, many people were also heading towards the lobby door.

***

At 08.00, now I'm in class, I got a seat in the far back left corner.

I scanned the class, next to me there was a girl with slightly white hair mixed with light yellow, with golden eyes.

He was seen writing something in his notebook.

After observing him, I looked back to the front to observe the others, the girl named Kim Yeona who I once met was looking at me from behind her shoulder.

With a smile, he looked at me.

The class conditions were not conducive, there were lots of people chatting with each other, and many had even made new friends.

"Aren't you looking for a friend?"

A soft voice that was a little hesitant when he uttered his voice, I turned towards the voice.

"I'm having a bit of a hard time doing it."

"Then what's your name?"

"Grey Darkword, you?"

"Lee Chae-yeon."

"South Korean, huh?"

"Yes if you?"

"I********"

This conversation stopped for a moment, because the teacher entered the class, the teacher immediately placed a document on top of the speaking area.

"Okay, I'm your teacher while you're at this school. I'll tell you the rules for the first 2 weeks to get a class title."

I've also read in articles about Class titles in the first 2 weeks, where all the classes that don't have S, A, B, C D.

In the article it is written that each class will fight with other classes to get points and get the class title.

"Any question?"

"Oh, yes my name is Fumiko Tanaka."

The whole class was very quiet, no one responded, no one wanted to ask questions, everyone was silent while staring at the teacher in front who was talking.

"If no one asks, the 'Class Ranking Competition' will start tomorrow, determine the class commander and class president."

The female teacher immediately left the classroom, she left the classroom through the front door.

"I think Tom Carter would be suitable as class president."

The girl with light green hair proposed her opinion, I neither agree nor disagree, maybe for now I should be neutral, Tom is the student who has dominated the friendship for a long time, and according to the female students he is handsome.

"I agree." Several other girls spontaneously agreed.

It was no longer possible for him to lose, Tom was confused as to why he was so famous and liked so much.

"Ah, thank you for giving your opinion, but do you all agree?"

"Sure, we agree."

Tom looked at me, he was holding the back of his neck, his confused and disbelieving face looked at me.

"Sorry, do you agree?"

There is no reason to disagree, he is very suitable for this.

"Of course."

"Good-"

"Eehh, it turns out there's a handsome student hiding." The voice sounded small but entered my ears sharply

"Hey, what's your name?" – "Yeah, we don't know you yet." – "Don't be shy, you're handsome, you have to be confident." lots of words entered my ears.

"Introduce yourself, handsome man." Lee Chae hit my waist with her fist.

"My name is Gray Dark World, ohm, my hobby is just racing cars, thank you."

I sat back down, introduced myself flatly, making all eyes turn towards me, where they were surprised by my hobby, and conversations started to emerge.

"Wow, his hobby is racing, looks like he's a rich kid." – "Is he the son of a conglomerate?" – "Wow looks like he is talented."

It seems like today I have failed miserably, telling one of my hobbies is a bad thing, they already have high expectations of me, once I break those expectations then my movement in class will be limited.

From the start, I didn't intend to be a quiet and mysterious person, but I just wanted to be a normal child who didn't easily get what I wanted.

Kim Yeona, who had been looking at me with fascination, now shrank a little.

"Hey, let's finish this discussion." A man with bright blonde hair, I don't know him yet, he seems to be in a hurry.

"Uhm, you're right."

***

At 15.30

"Hey, how do you get the students to choose you as commander and instead you make Kim Yeona become the commander?"

I was putting some of my mystery novels in my bag, and wanted to immediately go back to my room to rest.

"I don't know, it's a fortunate coincidence isn't it?"

"Hmm, what you say is true for a loner."

"Then I'll go first."

"Okay."

I walked out of the classroom, through the back door of the classroom.

"... Wait, may I have your cellphone number?"

I stopped, Lee Chae immediately followed me, and she stood in front of me holding her cellphone and bag which she had slung over her shoulder.

"Oh, of course."
