16:30…
I just got home, well, just got back from training, to my dormitory.
I sit down on my desk, open my notebook and take a pen out of the drawers.
– – – –
Suspect 2 has been cleared off the list, as in, he isn't worthy of my time. I don't believe he is one of the 'system' users in my class.
'Leaving Suspect 3…' …
'He's definitely a user.'
He's been looking at me ever since I pulled out my status window at the beginning of Training.
'The hard part now is how to approach him. Should I be kind, look cool or face him during some kind of exercise in class…?'
"Hahh…"
This is the issue with me, after all.
I'm not usually the one who goes out of their way to meet new people, instead, I usually wait for people to start talking to me.
I need him to come to me about this situation, not the other way around.
'Obviously, it would be suspicious if I just act all friendly to him, when he doesn't even know me.'
—— —— ——
I close my notebook, and slide back on my chair.
'This is harder than expected…'
I'll figure something out tomorrow!
… … …
13:30 pm, the next day…
Finally, training! The time where I don't need to use my brain!
'I already know everything that's being taught since I learned about those things in my past lives, so it's annoying to have to re-learn these things.'
"ALRIGHT CLASS! TODAY, WE ARE PARTNERING UP AND FIGHTING EACH OTHER!"
The teacher yells, again, using a megaphone to gain the class's attention.
"Here are the teams!"
The teacher pulls out a sheet of paper and sticks it to the wall.
"Find your name and your partner!"
…
Saito, saito, saito…-
"Ah!"
'And my partner is… SUSPECT 3?'
What a coincidence!
I look back at the teacher as he winks at me.
'So one of the users in the class IS suspect 3!!'
My predictions were correct!
I walk over to him,
"Uhmmm, are you Kim Park?"
He looks over to me with a dark expression.
'Ah!!' Yikes, his stare gives me the chills!
"Nice to meet you, I'm Hiroto Saito-"
"You're a 'System user', am I right?"
Huh? Just like that?
