The Elite Gamer
This may be slightly sudden, but please bare with me here and answer this question truthfully.
Will you break the rules because of someone or something you care about?
They say if you get too attached to something, you might spend your whole life dedicating your body and soul to that certain something. There will always be those who would start to work towards something they wanted to achieve at first, but eventually they would come to regret the actions they've made in the past to reach that point. I'm not saying investment is a bad thing, but you have to think about your decisions and what you want to do before taking action. The public opinion on people who have such aspirations have changed throughout the years.
Regrettably humanity is blind to such flaws, men and women differ from each other as they have different abilities. No matter how you look it, people have roles that should differ from person to person. Despite this, people who are disabled are still, well, disabled. It doesn't matter if you avert your eyes, the harsh reality and fate of these people won't change.
So what should my answer be? Well I'll say, "Regrettably, yes." To be human is to be something which is imperfect to naked eye.
Over the years, many quotes about helping the needy have been made. "Part of being a person, is about helping others." or "A community is like a ship, everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm." Quotes like these are what tick me off.
Hypothetically speaking, if helping is a part of being 'human', why do we avert our eyes when we spot people at the side of the road? In that sense, most of us aren't human to begin with right? Or perhaps being human is to be selfish?
In any case, we're all just human, no one is above others. We're only on the top of the food chain because of our ability to feel emotions.
I want to believe people are equal, but the reality is we're all selfish beings, ones that only feast and hunt for themselves. However though equality may be a complete lie, we just can't afford to accept inequality. Right now I'm not even trying my best to answer that question, nor do ai have any interest in answering it.
Oi, you there. Yeah you! You're the one reading this book after all, have you ever had serious thoughts of how the future will look in a few hundred years?
Have you considered what the purpose of going to high school or college is? You have a clear picture in your mind of what your profession will be but will you really find a job one day? The future is quite the hazy one, you can't predict what will happen, all you can do is sit tight and wait for events to take place. I've just finished my compulsory and became a high school student but despite the words of my past teachers, I haven't thought of what I want for the future.
I just want a calm, soothing and quiet environment. I considered the influence school would have on my life but I never thought it would go that far into the future. I've always understood the purpose behind studying language or numbers, hell even education as a whole!
I wan to live in a world where I'm free to do whatever I want, a selfish yet impossible dream if I do say so myself.

"Sugihara-sama? Can you spare a moment with me?"
She's here, she's here to bother me yet again but I know it's for my well-being. I've been playing games on a game console during class this entire, attempting to pass the time since the teachers seem to not care about our education.
Even though my eyes have been fixated on my gaming console, I could still feel the presence of my personal devil near me. As her master....how should I get out of this situation? Should I just order her to stay back and let me beat my high score?
It's not a very interesting game, thinking of every possibility that could happen but those calculations have arrived at one conclusion.
I shall pretend her existence is invisible as if it's pure air.
I dubbed thee, the "Pretend you're actually incredibly focused to the point where you only have your mind on your console" strategy. I know for a fact she is a pure hearted girl, so it's likely she'll say something along the lines of "Well you seem pretty focused so I won't disturb you, but play with me later~!" "I'll let you touch my body if you stop right now~" something like that would be nice too.
"Hah? Hey my gaming console!"
In an instant, my "strategy" has been completely flawed yet again. She easily took hold of my console and snatched it away from me while I was deep in thought!
"So you were ignoring me, Sugihara-sama why must you be such a slacker?" She said.
"Hey! Spending my precious time beating a high score isn't me being a slacker! If I were to be one, I would be napping. Plus I know what would happen if I anger you."
"Good to know you realise this. Now I need your help with something."
"I refuse! You took my console away and what's worse is I was just about to beat my high score! Witch! Witch!"
"Sugihara-sama.....you have no right to veto a decision such as this. If you will not come, I will drag you."
She then continues with, "We are not at home anymore, Sugihara-sama. Thus you must stop this habit of yours before I become displeased. I might be your assistant but that doesn't mean I cannot harm you."
That's just straight bullying! Why does she act like she hasn't bothered me before?! And what's with this sassy ass persona?!
I'm suddenly dragged by the collar towards somewhere. This beautiful girl with long sakura pink hair, well this is Masaki Akasuki, student if the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School studying in class-D as my classmate. She's also my personal...maid? No that's farfetched, well as she said assistant is the best word to describe her.
"I won't physically harm you, but there's nothing saying I can't mentally harm your pride."
"Bullshit! You know the school won't allow stuff like that! I bet you don't remember the scratch marks on my back from the time you dragged a needle across there! If you're gonna do that again, you'll have to take responsibility for your actions fiend!"
"Ah that's true, well maybe I can speak sweet insults into your ears every morning to slowly destroy you from the inside."
This girl is Satan! I don't even have evidence to provide truth that she did indeed stab me with a needle. What's worse, she sits on the other side of the class so I have no definitive proof at all.
Now that I've thought it over again, it'd be bad if she deleted EVERY PIECE OF DATA I HAVE ON THAT CONSOLE without my permission. Huh, did I just scream in my head?
"Fine I'll help! But can't those two handle themselves? I know personally they do a lot for the class so why do I need to help them again?"
She seems to be dragging me over to yet another beautiful raven hair girl, next to her a brown haired boy. Their personas are quite similar to ours in a way.
"Typically yes but this time it seems an issue has risen, since you're capable of solving this issue I recommended you."
I'm stuck with this woman for many reasons, the first one being she's my assistant thus she has to stay by me at all times to make sure I don't get in any trouble. She also keeps me in check, making sure I don't become a slug who relies on others.
Now that I think about it, I would be dead by now if it weren't for her. I probably would be living off instant noodles and all that.
"Heh, well I guess I could lend a hand. Playing games all day tends to get tedious anyway, so what do I have to do?" I asked, now filled with a sense of charisma. "Delays are not an excuse, if you want to do better, do it yourself!" Those are the words of my grandfather which I still hold to this day.
I may not accept a request at first but in time, I would fullfil said request as best as I can. This is just who I am.
After all this is my life, the life of Sugihara Daisuke.
