Chapter 16: Helping classmates?
"No."
Ren's attitude was still quite firm.
He wasn't interested in joining a club that sounded boring.
"Then you can look into our table game club, right?" Chika lowered her request.
As long as she could trick this man and invite him to their table game club, she believed that with the strength of their table game club, they would be able to keep him.
"…"
Ren didn't say anything.
"We are classmates, so consider it helping a classmate."
Chika still never gives up and remains very enthusiastic.
"Helping a classmate?"
This word caught Ren's attention.
He remembered Mafuyu seemed to mention this word when he spoke.
"Yes, helping classmates is the duty of every high school student."
Chika felt there was something interesting and expanded the topic.
"…"
Ren remained silent.
His instincts told him not to have anything to do with this so-called table game club.
Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
"Sorry, I don't know how to play board games."
In this case, he chose to follow his intuition.
As an ordinary person, it was natural that he did not know how to play table games.
He had looked for skills that ordinary people could use online before, but there were no table games.
Hence, he could freely admit that he used this to reject the girl in front of him.
"That..."
Chika lowered her head. Just when Ren thought she was going to give up, she changed the subject and asked, "So, you can play poker, right?"
Playing poker?
What's that?
This was the first time Ren heard this word.
"You can't say you can't do this, right?"
Chika's voice continued to be heard.
"Poker is something everyone can play."
"!!!"
Ren who wanted to be an ordinary person, couldn't say the fact that he couldn't play poker.
Once he says he doesn't know how, it means he is no longer a member of the majority.
And he had used his telekinesis when he was at the Kyudo Club, now even though he wanted to use his telekinesis to study on his phone, he couldn't do it.
Yes, there is only one way now.
After making up his mind, Ren pointed behind Chika expressionlessly.
"Hah? Is there something behind me?"
Seeing his actions, Chika subconsciously turned her head and looked behind her.
OK, it's time.
[Teleport]
Soon, Ren's figure disappeared from where he was.
"There's nothing behind me."
When Chika turned her head again, she found that the man in front of her had disappeared.
"Where is he? Did he run away?"
Chika searched the area and had to accept this reality.
"Really, why wouldn't they join a table game club?"
With these doubts, Chika continues to look for the next target.
······
"That is safe."
Ren's figure appeared on the stairs of the teaching building.
There was no surveillance in this place, so there was no need to worry that his sudden appearance would be photographed.
He had to admit that the girl just now was quite strong.
It actually forced him to the point where he had to use his superpowers to escape.
Ren didn't feel anything wrong with his escape.
According to him, his behavior was not normal.
Running away is embarrassing but useful.
He quite agreed with this statement.
It seemed like he couldn't communicate with others normally and chose to continue answering.
There was no need to force himself to do something he couldn't do at the moment.
Moreover, his instincts told him that going to a table game club was a very dangerous thing.
He really trusted his intuition.
That's why he chose to run away.
He felt that if he said he knew how to play poker, he would definitely be dragged to the table game club by the girl from earlier.
Now that this matter has passed, there is no need to worry anymore.
Even though Ren was now far away from Chika, her words made him very concerned.
Is it every high school student's obligation to help classmates?
He had doubts about the truth of this sentence, after all, it was too absolute.
Then, he returned to class.
"Eh? Kamikawa-san is back?" Vigne immediately saw Ren who had just entered the classroom, "Have you found a suitable club for you?"
"No."
Ren shook his head and sat down in his chair.
"Then are you still planning to join the club?" Vigne seemed very concerned about this issue.
"I won't join," Ren answered honestly.
"There are advantages to not joining. For example, you will have more time to study," Vigne said with a smile.
"Um."
Ren looked around the classroom and didn't find Gabriel.
He wanted to ask Gabriel if that sentence was true.
"Gab go to the bathroom."
Seeing his movements, Vigne immediately guessed what he was thinking and took the initiative to remind him.
"Thank You."
Then wait a moment, wait for Gabriel to come back and ask again.
"You're welcome."
Vigne waved her hand then asked: "Kamikawa-san, is there anything you want to ask Gab?"
"Um."
Ren glanced at Vigne, thought for a moment, then asked: "Helping classmates is the duty of every high school student. Is this true?"
Since Gabriel didn't come, let's ask Vigne first to hear her thoughts.
"Wrong." Vigne gave her own assessment, "If you can help your classmates without affecting yourself and according to your own abilities, that sentence is too absolute."
"I understand, thank you."
Sure enough, he was right.
The girl just wanted to trick him into joining the table game club.
After a while, Gabriel returned, and Ren asked the question again.
Now Gabriel still has the conscience of an angel and gives a similar answer to Vigne.
"As long as it doesn't affect you, help if you can, and forget it if you can't."
Based on the answers of the two people, Ren came to a conclusion.
"You can help your classmates without affecting yourself."
