Chapter 9: Chapter 8

Over the next few days the class atmosphere felt tense.
We were dead last and we had no idea when the next clash would be.
I can't say that I felt the pressure they were feeling but I did feel kind of salty about us losing.
The person in class who seemed the angriest about it was Takeda.
I understood why, she wants that internship but it's a pipe dream unless we claw our way up to 1st and right now we lacked the weapons to do so.
Sena approached me and smiled
"Oh hey Dante, I don't think we had a proper conversation"
She was right, I've been familiarizing myself with the different areas on the campus that I barely spent time in class, only showing up right before the first bell and leaving as soon as the bell rang.
"Hmm Sena right?"
Her face lit up and she smiled.
"Oh good you remembered my name"
"Yeahhh I have this thing where I make it a duty to learn the names of my classmates. I don't want to address somebody as sir or miss"
She chuckled in a cute manner
"I get it, the class is having a small hang out at the cafe so I was wondering if you wanted to come"
Hmm a class hang out that sounds like bit tedious but maybe I should go to observe things a bit more.
"Yeah sure no problem that sounds fine"
Sena then leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"See if you can get Takeda as well, I think if you invite her she will agree"
Well I have no idea what she means by that the only time I interact with her is during class with a usual good morning or I'll occasionally see her outside the dorms because we are neighbors.
After putting on a confused smile

"Sureee I'll see what I can do"
Sena replied "Great" then went back to her seat.

Nervously turning to Takeda who quickly replied "What do you want?"
Oh well here goes nothing
"Soooo do you want to hang out in the cafe after class?"
Her facial expression which was serious at the time remained unchanged.
"I don't see the point of it"
Sigh did I just get shot down by a girl I wasn't even asking out?"
"You should take time to observe your classmates and determine who will be useful"
She paused then exhaled
"I did that already"
"And what was your conclusion?"
Takeda slightly tilted her head to the left
"That you're hiding something"
I chucked
"Do explain yourself"
"You just seem a bit too relaxed and your previous statement about wanting a normal experience just doesn't sit right with me so who are you Dante?"
Right at my throat as I expected from a straight forward person.
"I am me and you are you so what will happen if you find out that I maybe hiding something?"
Takeda faced her head front and settled back into her seat
"Who knows?"
Takeda Kadae I like her energy. She can make a fine weapon if polished correctly. The way she portrays herself to be will be her Achilles Heel so I should iron that out before it becomes a problem.Then again the real question is how do I go about doing that?
This class isn't ready to face class 1-2 or class 1-1 and even taking on class 1-3 right now maybe kicking a bee hive.
Right now I should be figuring out who is the leader.
