I was walking to school as usual. It was September, the start of our second sester. I managed to maintain my score of 85% in the end sem exams too. It wasn't a big deal for though.
There were many students around and in the corner of my eye, I noticed Yasurouka walking in front of . I developed a habit to match my ti with her over the course of the past month.
Looking at the gentle expression on her face reminded that everything turned to normal again. All those mories and monts we spent together again rounded up to nothing.
The sound of confessing to her was reverberating in my mind. Yasurouka wasn't a vessel anymore. I was able to make her fall for and neutralise her as my target.
I looked at her smile as soone greeted her. Her smile was clearer than before. Her body language showed that she indeed started to believe in herself. Her opinion about herself definitely went up.
I started walking quickly and walked past her. For a brief mont she looked at but judging from her blank expression, she definitely reacted as she would if it were a random classmate of hers.
I wonder if these targets actually forget everything, as Lilith said, or it just becos harder for them to recall their mories.
It has already been a few days since I made her fall for . So that ans that everyone involved in this event has already got their mory alternated.
Today I had a specific thing in mind which I wanted to do. I have been observing a certain individual for quite so ti now and today; I made up my mind to make my move.
I went up to the class, and it seed like everyone was in a good mood as it was the start of the new sester. I walked up to my desk and sat down.
Gaisen and Tsūn were talking to each other. I decided to join in on their conversation.
"Good morning."
"Morning, Saishi-kun"
"Good morning."
Both of them greeted .
"I can't imagine I managed to score this, even though I was spending most of my ti in club activities." Tsūn laughed awkwardly.
"Well, you studied hard so it paid off. Don't be surprised like that." Gaisen said.
Tsūn scored 64% which was actually a good mark considering how he doesn't study at all and spends most of his ti playing gas and reading manga.
Gaisen on the other hand was in the similar range as . Talking about him, I didn't know how much he scored.
"Oi Gaisen-kun, how much did you score?"
"Ooof… it's 87%" He sighed.
"Ah, that's good though." But judging from the way he said that, I could tell that he wasn't satisfied with his marks.
"What? Are you not satisfied?"
"Not it's just…"
"Look at this guy! He got 87% and still isn't satisfied. I can't believe you?!" Tsūn said. Well from his perspective it was a really good mark.
"No goddammit!! If I studied just a bit more, I could've scored 90%." He said, as he was pissed off. I could understand his feelings though. Being so close to sothing you wanted to achieve but not being able to get it by a small margin is a really frustrating feeling.
"I can understand." I nodded.
"Well, no use of sulking over marks now. It's already done. Let's try our best this sester." Tsūn said.
"Didn't you say the sa thing last sester, too?" Gaisen narrowed his eyes at him.
"Did I?" Tsūn turned towards for affirmation, but I rejected his request.
"You did. And you still wasted your ti watching ani and playing gas."
"Don't expose like that, jeez dude." He mumbled.
"Well, you're right. It's no use thinking about it now." Gaisen said.
"That's more like it." Tsūn laughed.
As we're talking, our horoom teacher, Ms Tachibana, entered the class, and all stood up to greet her. Since it was the start of our new sester, she was briefing us about the syllabus of her subject and topics she will be covering this sester.
After explaining the syllabus to us, she probably read the atmosphere of the classroom and noticed that so students were disappointed, and so were upset. She told us to study more diligently and that marks aren't the only thing that matters.
I will agree with her that marks aren't the only thing that matters. There are many other things which can be considered while judging a student. But compared to them, marks are the major thing that matters.
Though, I appreciated the fact that she was trying to cheer us up. And to be honest, none of us scored bad on her subject, which was English. So she definitely knows how to handle students. She cared not only about marks, but cared about us students too. That's why we liked her so much.
It was lunchti, and I looked in front of and caught sight of the person I was looking for. They were smiling while talking with their friends. I took out my mobile and opened my texting app.
I searched for this person's na and opened their chat. It was empty since this was the first ti I was about to text them. I tapped on the dia option and selected a photo, which I had saved for this mont. I sent it and added a text with it.
"After school, wait for everyone to leave."
I waited for the text to get seen by them. I noticed them looking at their mobile and checking the text I sent them. As soon as they saw the picture, they stopped smiling and their body tensed up. I could tell from afar that the colour of their face was gone, and they were at a loss.
Our eyes t with each other for a slight mont, and I could see the fear in their azure-coloured eyes. Fear is what makes soone weak, but at the sa ti, it's a potent weapon to control people.
I was satisfied with their reaction and put my mobile back in my pocket. I knew that they didn't have any other option rather than obeying what I texted them. I know they won't be able to tell this to anyone, except that one person who was close to them. But I have already thought this out thoroughly and her chances of doing that were close to zero.
If I can ta this person, then they will be soone who will be a really useful asset to in the near future.
