COTE : Elites War - Oblivion [Hiatus]

7. 4 Ishigami Decision

"Ishigami, what should we do now?"

Kazuto walked over to Ishigami who was sitting on his chair. But the calmness on Ishigami's face didn't change at all.

"Is it okay to refuse Yagami's offer?"

"I'm not rejecting the offer but I want to see what kind of figure Ayanokouji-senpai has always been talking about."

"But Yagami's offer is too hard to refuse."

"He's just playing with your mind, Kazuto."

"What do you mean?"

"Yagami offers three different things to each class. He told class D to give them personal points until graduation no matter what their performance is, the most important thing is they are willing to obey Yagami's orders. Class C, I don't know what Yagami is offering but it's obvious Tsubaki and Utomiya have become Yagami's loyal dogs."

"But what he has offered our class isn't interesting at all. We don't have to obey Yagami's orders." Ishigami closed his book, then fixed his wrinkled shirt as he stood up.

"Get ready, someone's coming soon."

There stood Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. His brown hair and golden eyes immediately hit my eyes.

The entire room became alert at the arrival of this one senior.

Kiyotaka POV

"Good afternoon, Ayanokouji-senpai."

As soon as I entered, a boy with neat clothes and a faint smile greeted me.

He must be Ishigami, the leader of Class 1-A who hasn't been involved with the other three classes all along.

The traces of his actions were minimal, but he was the one who control Class 1-A. I don't know he survive and hide until this moment. But I believe, Ishigami's ability is above Tsubaki's.

"You seem to have guessed my arrival," I said it.

He just smile and offered me a chair, and we sat across from each other. Amongst the other classes, he did greet me in the most normal way.

"Of course, senpai must have come to give orders right? But where are Housen-kun, Nanase-san, and Tsubaki-san who were with senpai earlier?"

He even knew that I was with the three of them before coming here.

"They've finished their business."

"Is that so? I was wondering what other offer they might convey to me to join their side." Ishigami laughed quietly.

I'm not used to dealing with a leader type like Ishigami, he's not like Housen who is rude and predictable, or like Tsubaki who has neat and orderly actions but is full of traps, or even like Yagami and Ichika who have unexpected plans and can always surprise me.

Ishigami looked simple on the surface.

His face seemed to say that he didn't want to meddle in anyone's business, didn't want to get into anyone's trouble, the type who preferred to maintain his power quietly without taking big risks.

Of course, Ishigami wasn't someone who would gamble on fate and luck.

He's judging me now.

"I know you won't believe me, but I only came to deliver orders from my class."

"Your class name is The Spring, right, senpai?"

I nodded.

"Nice name, a season where flowers bloom and a sunny day with the sun shining brightly."
