"I want you to join the student council."
I blinked.
Napakaseryoso ng mukha at mata niya. Join the student council? Meredith also tried to recruit me into her organization. And, she will continue to harass me as long as I don't follow her wishes.
Naningkit ang mata ko. If Meredith's viewpoint is correct, then I am not a threat to them. I am only a wildcard. A double-edged sword who they have to quickly grasp if they want to win this useless charade.
Humalukipkip ako. "What will I gain from joining you? If it's rank, I can get it on my own. Revenge for Meredith? I could care less. I have no need for power nor authority. I don't see any benefit of me joining."
"You will continue to be targeted if you don't agree."
"Psh." I waved my hand dismissively. "Itarget niyo na akong lahat, but it's still to my advantage. Because this academy revolves on games, and I never let my plays lose."
Bumuntong-hinga siya at umatras. Iniwas niya ang tingin at tumango.
"So the president will defend her throne?"
He looked back at me. "Everyone is free to challenge, but it doesn't mean they'll instantly take it." may ipinakita siyang dice. "Games."
Napaisip ako. Meredith's side would never benefit me nor help me in any way, pero ang student council ay maaring makatulong sa'kin. They are connected to the administration and knows the academy. As long as I have that access, I'll know what I want.
"I will meet you in the music room tomorrow, Serena." tugon niya. "The student council can provide anything you wish for, in return for your services. Decide."
Pinanonood ko siyang umalis. Hindi ako gumalaw sa kinatatayuan at nanatiling nakatitig sa blankong pader.
The thing that I want is very simple. The true color of the academy. An academy build to protect and nurture ability-users and was approved by the government, who loathes them? What a stupid joke.
Hindi papayag ang gobyerno na mas lalong lumakas ang ability-users, more so na macontrol nila ang mga powers. Dahil wala na silang magagamit na pangcover up sa mga high-end cases. Or the money they receive from Japan will stop, ang pera na nakukuha nila sa pagbenta ng mga ability-users for experimentation purposes.
Bumalik sa isipan ko ang sinabi ni Rica. The government has already found me, hiding inside this academy. They can't outrightly catch me, dahil sa amount ng ability-users dito who will automatically attack just from their presence. Kaya dinadaanan nila ako through their moles and playing games with me.
