Chapter 10: Otherworld (2)
At the very beginning, the two clear conditions I had in mind for this second scenario were straightforward.
The first was to use every dirty trick I could muster to copy Causality even more and change classes.
The second was to somehow uncover the cause of the 'Otherworld' scenario and put a stop to it.
The first seemed doable somehow, but the second plan was uncertain.
Anyway, what exactly was the Otherworld?
After searching the internet yesterday, I found out.
It was a world that was disconnected from reality, like the front and back of a coin, with passages that could connect them.
If I could somehow input the result of breaking all the windows in this scenario beforehand, would the 'this scenario' be stopped?
"Hng."
My head was a mess.
After the first scenario ended and the second began, the game gave players some time to grow, so I estimated that in this world, it would probably explode within a week to a month.
So, with a generous margin of time, within the next '5 days' I had to discover the 'Otherworld' at the same time as changing classes.
That's why I was at 8:20 AM right now.
Ten minutes before the homeroom teacher entered, I stood in front of the blackboard on the podium and addressed everyone.
"Everyone! Hello!"
Slap!
I banged the podium and greeted everyone.
"......??"
All my classmates' gazes turned to me.
"Everyone, hello together!"
Slap slap!
I banged the podium again and said it.
The expressions full of doubt from before had now changed to horrified expressions like 'What the hell is this crazy guy?'
"Everyone! I'm the class president! If you keep doing that, it'll be a problem! I'm the representative! The leader! The boss!"
Swish.
I raised my black armband and said, then shouted loudly again.
"Everyone!! Hello!!"
Thud!
With that, I felt a strong impact on the back of my head.
"What are you doing."
When I turned around, the homeroom teacher, holding the 'homeroom notebook' that had just hit me, stood there with an ugly expression.
"What I mean is, Teacher. Since I became class president for the first time, I had a great idea and wanted to communicate like this, haha."
With a creepy expression, he looked at me as if to say 'do the rest of what you were doing' and nodded slightly.
"Well~ then, everyone! When I came to the academy, I realized a really unfortunate fact..."
"Huu~" I let out a big sigh and shook my head as if it was unfortunate, then continued.
"Right! Our academy's windows are too dirty!"
"......???"
Everyone looked confused, so I emphasized again.
"Hey! This 200-year-old prestigious academy's windows are this dirty, right? The academy is a mirror that reflects our image! Our Class 1-5! Let's take the lead in shining the mirror!"
Static.
A strange silence came.
"Hey. What are you thinking?"
The first words to break the silence came from the teacher, looking at me with a dumbfounded expression.
"What? I want to clean as class president."
"Hey, we have a cleaning company that comes to our academy every two weeks to keep it clean, right? Do we really need to do it ourselves?"
Seated in the front row, Violet questioned me with a dumbfounded look.
"Do you know the date the cleaning company comes?"
"The day before yesterday."
Um. It was fast.
Somehow it looked too clean.
"No! In my opinion, it's too dirty! So, with me, Class 1-5 will eat lunch quickly within 20 minutes and clean the windows!"
"Teacher?"
Realizing that my logic wasn't getting through, Violet looked at the homeroom teacher behind me with a pitiful expression.
The teacher silently took out a Monami pen from his pocket, chewed it, and said.
"Sigh, damn. The crazy class president turned into a madman..."
Upon hearing the teacher's words, Violet brightened up.
"But since this crazy guy is the class president, we'll do it as the class president says."
Instantly, Violet's expression darkened.
At first glance, her emotional changes weren't that severe, but it was definitely a good change.
As expected, the 'class president' position obtained by being first in the ranking was worth it.
"You too, hurry up. It's morning assembly time."
"Yes!"
After giving a loud reply, I smiled at Violet and went back to my seat.
Watching Violet fidgeting in the back row was quite entertaining.
"Alice~"
As soon as I sat down, I whispered to my beloved pair, Alice.
"Jojun, are you really going to clean the windows?"
Alice, who seemed to have doubt about my words just now, asked me in a whisper with a questioning expression.
"Yeah. There's a real urgent reason, so during lunch, I'll divide the kids and have them clean the windows of the entire academy. I have somewhere to go, so I think I need to skip lunch."
With a rubbing hands gesture, I said to Alice with a scheming expression.
The academy was quite large, so one might think I couldn't clean it all today, but that would be underestimating our class.
This is the 'Great Demon Subjugation Academy'.
An academy where various ability users and gun-wielding superhumans gather.
If those superhumans sincerely cleaned the windows, they could clean them just in time for lunch.
Well, if not, we can do it tomorrow.
"I said let's clean, but where are you going, Jojun?"
Alice made an incredulous expression.
"I'll only ask once~"
But again, to my scheming request, Alice accepted with 'Okay' while looking dumbfounded.
As expected, the real Alice.
Best, Alice!
"Oh, when cleaning the windows, tell the kids to 'look carefully'."
"Huh?"
To Alice who asked what that meant, I said again.
"Literally, tell them to look carefully for anything weird and clean. And if there's anything weird, tell me."
"Ahh... Okay, got it."
Alice nodded with a creepy expression.
Okay, the initial plan I set up was achieved.
While cleaning the windows, check for anything weird.
Also, during lunch, have our class members clean all the windows in the academy to draw attention to 'me' who is doing this task.
And now, the second plan I have to do alone during lunch remains.
The most important 'second plan' of today's plan.
This one I had to succeed somehow.
I clenched my fist and strengthened my resolve.
***
On the rooftop of the Great Demon Subjugation Academy.
Since all entrances to the rooftop were locked as usual, no one could enter, and two girls were sitting on a mat.
"President. Please try this too."
"Oh~ I'll eat it."
The woman with blue bob hair handed a nicely cut octopus sausage from a cute pink plastic lunchbox to the president.
Slurp.
The president, Bianca, with her chest heaving, happily ate it.
Her appearance was like a big golden retriever.
Relaxedly sharing lunch with the vice president on this rooftop where no one could enter.
That was the benefit the student council president, her, could enjoy, and also the time she was happiest.
"President. Did you hear?"
The cold-faced vice president, Rebecca, took an egg roll from her lunchbox and ate it while speaking to the president.
"Hm? What?"
"The class president of Class 1-5, Jeong Jojun, is making the students of his class clean all the windows in the academy during lunch."
"Really~?"
From the day of admission, being late, the only 'Swordsman' in the entire academy, and with amazing skill snatching the class president position.
Even now, the bizarre footwork in Bianca's brain hadn't been forgotten.
"What a strange student~"
A veiled man.
No matter how much I searched the information, there was only one piece of information: that he announced the 'Swordsman' job as a surprise at the board meeting right after admission.
'What could it be?'
That skill. And the information gap.
There had to be an extremely powerful backer.
What kind of backer was backing such a monster...
"I'm not that strange of a person."
"???"
Suddenly, when I turned my head to where the voice came from, 'that man' sitting on a raised building above the stairs leading to the rooftop appeared.
"This is surprising. They say even tigers come when called, haha~ When I was talking about my story, you came, so it's a bit embarrassing."
"How did you get up here?"
"What. I stepped on the heater behind the academy and came up."
Yeah, since everyone in this academy was a superhuman, anyone could come up here if they wanted.
"This is a violation of school rules. Jeong Jojun student."
With a sharp look, Rebecca glared at Jojun and shot.
"Ah, I'm really sorry about that... but I really have a bit of an urgent matter right now."
While saying that, he sent a concerned look to Bianca as if asking if it was okay.
Bianca faced Jojun and smiled faintly, nodding her head.
"What. After all, there was someone we had to meet separately someday."
"President..."
Rebecca frowned as if asking if it was okay.
At this time, it was part of the limited 'rest' time Bianca enjoyed.
And Rebecca, who always stuck by Bianca's side, knew how precious this time was to her.
"It's okay. So, what is the matter?"
"President."
The man named Jojun smiled faintly and tapped his eye area with his hand.
"Kiss."
"What are you talking about?"
Bianca asked back with a faint smile.
She almost fell for that too natural expression.
But again, my words made Bianca's expression shatter.
"Yongan. If I have to kiss, I can determine what I'm about to say from now on?"
"Eh.. How?"
Surprised that I mentioned my ability that I only knew a part of, she stared at me blankly and asked.
"Who are you."
Rebecca stood up abruptly and manifested her ability.
Crack.
All the walls on the rooftop froze and approached me.
Wow.
As expected, the third-year in 'hard mode' was this strong?
It seemed about twice as strong as hard mode.
Thud.
I hit the floor where I was sitting with my fist, and with a creaking sound, the ice pellets approaching me stopped.
As I said, since it's a 'natural system ability', it was the opposite of me.
No matter how high the mana, it was useless in front of my Enchant that pulled up the growth limit to the end.
"It's okay, Rebecca. No need for that."
Bianca, who had been sitting demurely, slowly stood up and looked at me.
"If you know this much, I don't need to hide it."
Flash.
When Bianca closed and opened her eyes, her eyes had changed to a brilliant 'golden dragon eyes' from the wall.
"Rather, if I find out, it's over."
A legendary scam ability that could analyze and control all abilities and distinguish truth and lies.
'Yongan' was finally revealed.
Good. With this, the first button of the second plan was well in place.
"I am...."
After swallowing hard, I faced Bianca in front of me and slowly spoke.
"I vaguely know the future."
And when I heard my words, Bianca was shocked.
Of course she would be.
Since that 'Yongan' would reveal 'truth'.
Now, the plan began.
The plan to recruit the student council president as an ally and at the same time make her fall in love with me.
