Classroom of the Elite : New game

Artificial Genius

A week had passed since Sora and Shiro's request. They had asked the class teacher to send them a video from the surveillance camera of each class, but it had not gone as planned.

In reality, to have access to even one hour of footage from a single class camera, you needed 200,000 private points. Sora and Shiro together had only 100,000 private points when they talked to the teacher.

They understood that in order to carry out their plans, they first had to get money. And the best way to get money was of course to play games.

But not everyone was willing to play games in exchange of money, even if they had the possibility to earn twice as much, it was an activity that didn't work very well with the students at this school. Thus Sora and Shiro came up with another strategy.

"What the hell did you do?! People are talking about you through the school now!

Kushida, who was in their room, was berating them, as the strategy they had decided to use had indeed affected their reputation. She was trying to resonate with them but they were too busy fighting each other on their consoles.

Kushida, who couldn't bear it anymore, decided to take the consoles away, she was like a mother punishing two unstable children. It took Sora and Shiro a while to realise that their consoles were no longer in their hands, they never expected that in this beautiful universe of millions of billions of planets a human would dare interrupt their game.

They looked at her like zombies, their trembling hands wanting to grab Kushida's neck to punish her for her sin. They spoke as if possessed and could barely articulate.

"D-did you j-j-j-j-j-j-ust... interrupt our game?!"

Sora was not only repeating his words but also repeating the letters inside the words, it was a good illustration of the chaos that was ensuing in his mind at the moment.

Shiro reacted like a broken doll, she looked like the white lady with twisted bones who could barely walk.

Kushida sighed and decided to give them back their consoles, realizing that there wasn't going to be any discussion before they completed their game. She got up and went to get a cold drink while waiting for them to finish.

As soon as the consoles were back in their hands, Sora and Shiro became human again and continued their game for a good ten minutes. Kushida stared at them, sitting at their bed, she couldn't help but admire them despite the frustration she was currently feeling. They really had a passion for games and she could feel that. She wondered if this was how they spent their days in the outside world, before coming to this school, she wondered if they played other people and how good they were compared to them, seeing the number of hours they put into games.

When the game was over, the two of them put their consoles to one side and went to serve each other drinks. Sora sat down on the other side of the bed and Shiro laid down beside him. Sora began to stroke Shiro's hair while he talked to Kushida.

"What's the problem, Kushida? We haven't done anything forbidden as far as I know."

Sora said with a smile so sweet that one could believe that the two siblings were true angels incapable of the least evil, unfortunately reality was quite different.

Kushida gently tapped on the bed and pointed at Sora, she believed Sora to be the only culprit in this situation as she believed Shiro to be too young to think of such conspiracies.

"Are you kidding me? People keep talking behind your back now, some think you're cheaters, some are even planning to report you to the Student Council !"

"Report us for what?"

"I just told you, for cheating!"

"But we didn't cheat."
