Chương 6: Monitoring | Convenience provender
[ Erza POV]
It was lunch time. Before this, nothing special occured. Since, I had one of my answers now, I felt a little relieved.
If I couldn't get any answer to MY question, it would annoy me a Lot. I was always like this. I wouldnt say I am introverted. No. But I am not an extrovert, either.
I just prefer a quiet environment than a noisy one. Maybe its because of the environment I was Born with. Yea.
I finished one of the chapters of the Light Novel which I was reading and went out to go to the nearest convenience store to buy some buns. I love buns. And if its sweet, just dont ask me the feeling I feel. Its literally heaven.
I put my hands into the pocket of my hoodie ; and followed to the store. Yes, I wore a hoodie today. Might as well wear it everyday. Its comfy.
There were many students. Mostly, First Years. Guess, we First Years love Convenient Food. Heh. I am the one to speak.
I 'maybe' friendly. But I dont feel quite 'good' around Strangers. Neither, I like noisy or nosy people , nor people who are too 'Goody pair of shoes'. Its irritating just to be near them to be honest.
I went inside the convenience store, brought two buns and looked around a bit.
Also brought some Apple juice. So that I wont choke to death.
Already stuffing my mouth with the bought item, I was on my way to go back to the class.
There I saw 'Sudou Ken' and 2-3 Second or Third Years.
'Tch'
"Listen! Just because you are Seniors, doesnt give you the right to look down on First Years! Understand!!??" Sudou threatened.
I stopped my walking. Looking at the scene, I can get a hunch.
Seems like 'Those' craps INTENTIONALLY clashed onto Sudou Ken, just to observe his reaction? The evidence was the spilled juice.
Looks like Sudou Ken is already known for his aggressive behaviour. Not that I care though.
I narrowed my eyes and gazed upon those 'Seniors'.
'What the hell? Are they really seniors or just kindergarten students? Wanting to see his reaction? What a jerk." I thought. The environment was so so noisy. Students from different classes around the store, started to compile in the spot.
"Hey listen you piece of crap! You should look 'round your surroundings bro! Otherwise you might 'clumsily' clash onto some other student" One of them spoke. And others Laughed.
I did not show any kind of interest of course. All I wanted was to eat my bun peacefully. Guess it cannot be helped, huh?
I sighed while glancing at the whispering faces, staring into the scene.
Nothing significant happened here, but still these guys are crowding here like it was some kinda 'Big shot' . What a drama.
My eyes went to a distinct object. Unintentionally. It looks like a camera.
Wait... A Surveillance camera? In the darkest corner of the building? Why would a surveillance camera be 'there'? To look after students? Or to look after students who are 'Defective'? To give them a 'Valid' reason? After all, the whole 'Planned City' was under the School Premises. Must be it.
I acted like I 'Happen' to overlook the camera. Not showing any particular expression or so. Smooth.
Now, I cannot definitely allow, this aggressive Sudou Ken, to touch any of the Seniors. Or else...
"But! I was never the one who clashed onto you! " Sudou defended.
"Oh man! These Juniors really dont know any manners huh?"
"MANNERS!!??? COME LEMME SHOW YOU GUYS 'MANNERS'!!!!" Sudou blasted.
I was staring with my eyes. As menacely as I can. Hoping he would notice.
"Yea!!! SURE!!! Lets teach this 'Junior' a lesson, boys!!!"
Damn...why isnt he noticing??!!
Sudou Ken was going to attack. Until he noticed. My presence.
Taking the chance as fast I could, I shook my head in a slight manner, as an indication to stop his movements at once.
Lets see, if he understands and agree to it or not. Only if he understands the situation though.
His eyes were wide-opened at me. He was hesitant. He was furrowing his eyebrows. And moved his eyes here and there. Maybe he was confused, to what he should do.
Maybe he really wanted to teach them a lesson.
He turned his head towards those seniors. He glared at them. Hmm. Thats terrifying. I mean, the look at his face.
Not necessarily that It would intimidate me though.
Well, guess he understood the situation.
I continued eating my Second bun.
The seniors noticed his menacing aura and brushed off the situation by turning around speaking...
"Anyway, Good luck in this school, cause its a damn hell in here. Dont drop-out though..lol" The 'Leader' most likely ; of the seniors said it out.
Why would someone take Entrance Examination to Drop-Out at last? Wierd.
The chaos went down. Well, it happened for the good.
So called 'Audience' left the scene. Until it looked like never really happened anything. Thats good. Its peaceful now.
I still didnt left the scene though.
Sudou Ken was standing there, gritting his teeth. And he is Angry. At me.
I was about to pick up the juice carton , lying on the floor. Maybe, he took it in the way, of me escaping. Well yes, it is correct.
I want to avoid Trouble. But looks like I cant.
Sudou Ken towered in front of me. Standing close to me ; my nose was touching his chest. Awkward.
"Yes, is something the matter?" I said out.
"You are Erza Wistaria right?!"
"Yes, I am supposed to be the one you are talking about." I said without hesitance as I allowed eye contact with him.
He was still wearing that menacing expression.
"You! Why did you stop me!!???" He held my shoulders. Holding Tight. It WOULD've hurt.
I was shocked at his sudden skin-ship.
"What?" I spoke out without any thought.
"You are asking me 'What'?!!" He brought his face close to me. Damn, what the hell is wrong with this guy? He really got some anger issues.
"If It wouldn't for you, I would have broken the jaws of those fuckin' bastards!!!!"
I removed his hands by slapping them and took a step back to maintain distance.
"What the...you--"
"Excuse me, but I think you should observe your surroundings a bit well. Sudou Ken." I was calm and composed. One should never give out in these kind of situations.
"What do you mean!!??? It was you who came between the 'situation'!!!!"
"I would like it if you stop being aggressive towards me. For this conversation's sake. I think you would like to know the reason behind such actions of mine." I maintained eye-contact.
"No!!! Nevermind!!! I am gonna check those guys out myself!!"
" Please go on, I wont stop you from being rusticated"
Upon hearing my words he stood still.
"What do you mean?"
"There is someone who was observing your actions, but If you keep following what you wanted to do, it could cause severe problems to your 'recently started' High school life." I was calm as I said it. It was a half Lie and half Truth. Also his actions wont give any 'specific' benefit to the class and ME.
Moreover, Anger wont come to any conclusions.
"Who?" He said in a low voice.
"A teacher, perhaps?"
I picked the carton, threw it in the box beside. And walk off my class while I put my hood on.
I didnt have anything to do in that situation anymore. It was cleared already.
I was close to the classroom. When I suddenly caught someone catch my arm from behind.
"Excuse me?" I let out.
I turned to see it was Sudou. Did he run? But he was so far.
Sensing his grip, I assumed, "He is an athletic huh?"
"Thank you...for...that...haaaa" He was panting as He thanked me. Well, it wasnt generosity or anything. All I did was for my own benefit.
"I guess, its fine."
He let go of my arm and went inside the classroom. Same for me.
I glanced at Ayanokouji's seat. It was empty. Did he go to the Store too? But I didnt notice him. Well, must be the Café then. That cafe named 'Pallet' ?
"None of my business", I mumbled as I sat down. 12 minutes for 'Lunch Break' to end.
I went through some notes, which the Teachers asked us to. The teaching method is not very bad, I suppose. But it would mean nothing, if the student himself isnt attentive.
Also, there is another confusion, That Surveillance Camera. Why that place out of others?
Most likely, the 'Normal' schools would like The Students to notice those, so that they would not do something Unnecessary. Which could lead to both the LOSS of the School and the Student.
But observing all the Three issues, lately. This Elite Academy is definitely not a 'Normal' one. Moreover, the 'shady' place is very much inevitable.
Does the school dont want the students to know that they are being monitored?
Well, this is too much for me in one day. I ll go to my room and think about it. Of course after studying.
"Erza..."
I heard a familiar voice. A male.
Only to see it was Sudou Ken? Does he want to know anything about the 'situation' before? I thought I cleared it up.
"Yes?" I gazed upon him from the corner of my eyes.
"About before--"
"If you're here to apologize, please know that I didnt mind. The Seniors were in fault anyway."
I noticed Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he came inside the class; and he noticed me. Our eyes met for a second.
"No about...like..sorry for holding your shoulders...tightly....I didnt mean to hurt you. I guess my feelings got the best of me." Sudou didnt make eye contact with me.
I distracted my eyes towards Sudou.
Was he really thinking about that? Or does he want something from me?
"Its fine, I doubt about you NOT releasing your anger out on me though." I confessed, as I continued to face my notebook.
"I--- Am deliberately sorry"
"You supposedly are?" I questioned.
He nodded. I sigh. He's not gonna go that easily huh?
"Tommorrow, as soon as the Bell rings for the Lunch Break ,meet me in front of the café, 'Pallet'... understand?"
He gaped. "For...what?"
"For you to correct your misunderstandings. I ll need you to treat me to a Latté."
He stared at me for a second. Until he Nodded his head in a swift motion for some 2-3 times. "Yea...I ll meet you at 'Pallet' then..."
He said and went from my desk. I sighed. What persistent guy. But he is hopepully not having any 'Second Thought' I assume.
The next period came by; everything, everyone went back to their places. Quiet room. Only the voice of the Teacher teaching, and squeaking of the marker on the white board.
Is what I was thinking it to be!
The class was in full chaos. No one give a damn about a teacher, no one studied efficiently. Some were focused onto their Mobile screens, some were talking, sleeping, etc.
I guess, only Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Me, Hirata Yousuke, Kushida Kikyou and some others, a few, was passionately succumbed into the lessons.
The teachers, didnt tell anything or nagged at the students. As if those students dont exist.
In a normal school, it would be different, the teacher would throw chalks or threaten them for detention. But none of them would apply here.
Whats is wrong with the environment here?
"Tch"
I felt eyes on me. Knew whose it was. But I let it pass.
"Please do Observe me...I wonder if you've caught something..." I thought.
