Ria’s perspective

During the new month, I was called to the head office.Full novel: Stars of the above — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

This happened in the third week after I started attending the royal academy.

Mrs. Celia was teaching her class when the student council president came in person to call me at the head office.

In this school, this means that whatever I was attending there was extremely important.

Kakashi, Ai, Eigi, and the senior who happens to be in the upper class also had been called there too but at different times.

Monday, for Kakashi,

Tuesday for the upper class men.

Wednesday for both me and Ai.

Ai had already gone during the first period, which we had mathematics for mental calculations.

She spent around thirty minutes in there but she came severely unbothered.

“I guess it is my turn.” I said as I heard my name being spoken by the lady who was speaking on the intercom.

“Is Ria Karasuki in Class?” The lady asked.

“Yes, he is.” Mrs. Celia replied back,

“Can you tell him to go to the head office right now, there is some news awaiting for him in there.”

“Alright, he is on his way.”

Without reply, he stood off my seat and started walking to the head office.

It was twenty seconds when I reached the hallway that will lead me to the head office after one turn.

But, on the way, I was two people in the shadows.

Since it was a brief moment, I didn’t think of anything larger but it still bothered me.

I used my pure eyes to look at the people there.

After that, I will deactivate it.

This is what I thought to myself when I made that note.

My eyes pierced through the shadows revealing the figures of two people I didn’t know well.

I had seen them around the school before but I have never exchanged words with them before.

“If you intend to stand here and not come in then… You will have to pay a special price, know you?” The student council president said.

“Sorry, i just thought i was someone there.”

After saying that, the two people will definitely make sure not to be seen.

“Did you see anyone there?”

“I am not sure. I haven’t checked,” I replied casually.

“Then let’s head inside.” He said as he entered the room.

“As you wish.”

Then we both entered the room.

“So,” the man in the chair seemed to smile.

“Which girls are you into?”

“Ah… What do you mean?”

Well, that was not what I expected.

What is the real intention behind all of this?

And girls? Visit g.com for the full chapter.

Well now that i think about it I haven’t been attracted to any girls ever since I was reincarnated.

Maybe that is why I can look at them without any bad intentions.

After all, I do have a mature mindset.

“I mean-is there any girls you are attracted to?”

“Ah… No….!” I said without much thought.

“Hahahaha.” He began laughing out of nowhere.

“Sorry kid, I was just playing with you. I didn’t mean any of that.” As he said that I saw the notification on his phone pop up.

It was a funny video about a guy chatting on “Ricon” with girls.

The whole premise of the videos was to make the other gender laugh.

The guys who were chatting while recording had a great vibe around him.

If I was to describe him: I would call him a playboy.

Similar to the guy called Condo.

“No big deal. But I am guessing the reason why you called me here isn’t to make funny jokes so can we move to that instead?”

“Of course.” The man was behind the chair which meant I wouldn’t see his face.

“….”

“Do you know the boy called Max Tsukasa?” The student council president asked.

“Yeah, we are classmates.”

“Good then. The other day, a man who I won’t inform you about requested the immediate expusion of Max Tsukasa immediately from the school. But, I refused. But it seemed as if that I misunderstood one thing that the man deliberately left as a last result.”

“And…”

“The man said: ‘If you can get him expelled, I will fund the school until the next twenty years.'”

“So?”

“I am taking the offer, but my reasons are still a secret. I will make him drop out but indirectly.” The man behind the chair stated this fact.

So that was what they received.

A mission to expel Max Tsukasa.

But why?

“If you don’t mind me asking? What is the relationship between you and that man? You two seem close but you said you won’t offer any information about him… ‘Personally.'”

“I guess you can say that the man I am talking about, I owe him a big favour which I have to pay back. This is why I am taking it.”

Well that is a lie.

You literally said he offered you guys money, if you owe him a favour then he wouldn’t even bother asking.

He would have just requested it.

“After thinking about it, I refuse.” I said.

“Huh? I am sorry but I think I didn’t hear that correctly.”

There aren’t bricks in their ears, are they?

“Sorry if I disappointed you but I said I am taking the offer.”

“And would you like to tell us the reason for your refusal?”

“Well, first of all, I don’t have any connection with this mysterious person who you owe a favour to. Second, you are literary receiving a bride from a person who intentions are clearly suspicious then lastly, I have no fucking business to do any of this.” I stated.

The man’s expression was changing but he hid very well.

“You know… Ria, I had high hopes for you. You are smart, creative and observant. If anyone would get the job done then it would have been you. But now I guess I may have to get you expelled first before focusing on Max Tsukasa.”

“If you try that, I will have no reason to keep this unfair treatment of students to the king and the higher ups. You also have to remember, right now the king trusts me more than he trusts you. Remember, your case hasn’t been long. They just found it two months ago.”

The student council president seemed to have a different opinion on the matter but he kept quiet.

“You can go now.” The student council president said.

If I had stayed there, he would have raised his hand, which in then would have gotten him fired. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.

“He used his manipulation skills very well.” Someone said without me hearing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the meeting, all the boys agreed to meet at the cafeteria outdoor centre.

Rui, Eigi and Max were the first people there which was followed by me, Kakashi and Eiichiro being the last ones that made it.

We all sat on the six person chair.

It was a rectangle seat which had six chairs behind it.

On my right was Kakashi, and on the left was Eigi.

Max sat in front of me, Eiichiro sat besides him and the person who sat beside Eiichiro sat Rui.

“Here is the menu,” the worker who works at the institution we work at brought us the menu.

On the menu, it had many famous drinks but unfortunately I wasn’t in the mood to be curious so I stayed with a mango drink.

“I get a watermelon mix with no powdered sugar.” Rui ordered.

“I will just have a coffee and an orange juice,” Max also ordered.

“Will the paprika drink be available for me to order?” Eiichiro asked to which to the waiter responded.

“Of course.”

“I will have the mango drink, please.”

“You know the usual.” Eigi sided.

“I will also have the usual please.”

“Thank you for being here, your total will be two gold coins, five small silver coins and ten bronze coins.”

At first, I thought we would all pay for ourselves but Eiichiro surprisingly stood up and paid for everyone with his credit card.

“Thank you!” I murmured.

“No need. This is the tradition here. When I pay, the next person to me today will pay the next time we have drinks again. Which will follow until it comes back to me.”

So, that means Max is paying for the next drink meeting.

If the line follows the correct path, then Kakashi will pay after Max then me.

This will also depend greatly on how many times we go out in groups.

“So, how is your first month of school?” Eigi asked.

School huh?

In my honest opinion, this school isn’t any different from any other school.

“This school is great but I am still adjusting so I can’t say for certain.” I answered.

After saying that, I turned to watch Max.

Our drinks had arrived and I was wondering what he was doing with both drinks.

Max held one cup in his left hand and the other in his right hand.

Then, he mixed the orange juice and coffee together.

The mixture was something that didn’t look appetising.

“What are you doing?” Eigi asked.

“Oh… I was just wondering what it will taste like. When you add coffee and orange juice together.”

“How coffee tastes with orange juice?” I repeated his sentence.

“Drink it then. Let’s see what it tastes like.” Eiichiro said.

Kakashi was just staring at the man wondering what was running in his head.

What was funny was that Kakashu had also been offered the same deal that was offered to me.

I didn’t know what his answer was.

But, let’s hope it was one that will lead to a good outcome.
