"Lunch time!" Keith brought out his giant lunchboxes, "Guys! Dig in! I made a lot today!" Besides the beef porridge and egg cake, he had also prepared much food for today.
“…”
“Keith, how could you be so calm about this?” Licht blinked as he stared at the boy. The way he was acting was too surprising.
“So you guys heard about it as well?”
“Well, it was announced to all of us, so yeah, we heard all about it.” Licht nodded. Most of the time, news about other years wouldn't go through to them. However,
"That's because a certain someone is way too much in the limelight for the rest not to notice." Tristan laughed. Keith was in the limelight, whether he liked it or not.
"Well, I don't think I'll be in the limelight now." Keith ate his beef, "I'm out of there."
"But Chelan is now the representative," Scarlet muttered. That was something the others were quite curious about.
"Hmm? Is there something wrong with him being the representative?"
"No, but I think it might be for you." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Huh? Why me?"
"Got the feeling that he wanted something from you. Did you not notice how he eyed you down." Gabriel spotted the prince eyeing him down. It was clear he wanted something from Keith.
Later in the day,
Chelan headed into the meeting room, and that was when he saw everyone there. Jasbir grinned, “Hello, Prince Chelan, welcome to the representative’s meeting.”
“Thank you.” Chelan nodded as he sat down.
“Alright, now that the pleasantry is out of the way, it’s time for us to speak about the festival.” Sakura got straight to the point, “I think all of you know about the upcoming festival. The three representatives have already gotten an idea for each class on what they’re doing. Your grade is still doing something about this. Did Keith tell you about this?”
"Yes, he had told us about this and told us not to worry about it. I'll shall get the idea down in a week." Chelan bowed.
"Understood." Angelica and Sakura nodded, "We shall give you guys your budget as well. We'll leave it up to you to decide how to even it out." The representative was also the one who would decide on the budget for each class.
"Mmhmm," The four nodded as they were on for an hour. As he returned home, he clenched his fist tightly. The representative position was now his. However, this was not the end; even if he had the title, what he needed to do now was to get the people's trust. While Chelan was preparing himself, Muriel stood on the side and stared at him.
...
The next day,
“Eh? Chelan is calling us all to the auditorium?” This was a surprise. Chelan’s first position of power as the representative was to call everyone to the auditorium. And with it, that was where they were all.
“What’s he going to do now?” Herrick and the others wondered while Keith sat in his seat calmly. Chelan took the stage, “Thank you, everyone, for coming here! This year, I will show everyone why we’re the greatest batch of students ever! People have many names for us, including the golden generation, the diamonds, and the greatest generation ever. However, people aren't calling us this anymore. ”
“...” Some students clenched their fists when they heard that. To be in this generation was an honor, but it was thrown down the drain.
“I promise you all of this! With me as the representative, no one will mock us, and the others will look at us in glory! So follow me! We’re going to dominate the festival!”
“Woooah!” Some students cheered at his spectacular speech. Chelan nodded as he looked at them. Good. They will listen to me now.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
“Why are you clapping for him, Keith?” Scarlet frowned as she stared at the boy, moving his hands.
“Hmm?”
“You do understand he was using you as a reference.” Chelan was basically implying Keith was the reason why he made this generation look horrible. All the blame was pinned onto him.
"Well, he's sort of right. And it's a good tactic to use as well." To use someone as the foil. For Chelan to get the others to follow him, he would need to use someone to take the blame. The only person that was out there to take it was him. He wouldn't say no to a tactic like this since it was to better the students.
"And technically, I'm already hated by them." Keith shrugged. More hate wasn't going to kill him. While Keith continued to talk with them, he didn’t know that Chelan was staring at him. His fist clenched tightly as he stared.
…
Later on the day, Keith headed to the library, where he waved his hands, “Hello, Muriel.”
“Keith, are you ready to learn more about sea creatures?”
“Of course!” Keith grinned as he placed down his book. This was something he had been doing. Muriel helped him learn more about the sea life there. She had a large depth of knowledge, which was helpful since he wasn’t adept with it all.
“Oh, for this creature. It’s a Raptor fish. The book says that you can tell the age of the monster by its nose, but it’s actually more so than that. Recently, a study showed you could use their nose to tell whether it's a male or female by the size of their nostrils."
"Haha, that's interesting." Keith jotted down the notes. After some time, the two decided to take a break as they nibbled on a cookie. Muriel explained, “Keith, how much will you learn?”
“As much as possible. I need to learn a lot so I can eat them.”
“I see.” Muriel smiled, “By the way, is it alright for you to be like this?”
“Hmm?”
“About the representative position and the things my brother had said about you.”
“Oh, I’m fine. And besides, I really didn’t do much with the position in the first place.” That thing was in the back of his head.
“If Chelan could do something with it, then I’ll gladly let him do it,” Keith smiled, “So there’s no need to worry about anything. We’re still friends.”
“Thank you!” Muriel grinned.
“Alright! Let’s continue to work!” Keith waved his hand; it was back to learn about aquatic monsters. Muriel laughed as she continued to teach him.
“Hah, that was a good deal.” Keith laughed as he returned home. But when he did, he was met with quite a hectic scenario.
“Umm, what’s going on?”
“Keith, we need to have a talk.” Aidiun sighed,
“Hmm? What do you want to talk about?”
“As of right now, you’re no longer a part of S-class.”
“Say what?” Keith blinked.
