On just another school day, Roger was walking down the hallway of their building. As he walks through a circle of friends, they all pause and look at him. Then, in the next few seconds, they'll move backward just to give him a path.
It was just another day, exactly. This happens everyday. Ever since those rumors of him being merciless and acting like a dog when he fights, they tend not to find a way to offend Roger, or even remove every possible way to offend him.
Hence, as Roger walks through different hallways, unorganized types of eyes are fixed on him.
Sometimes there was some disdain, mockery, respect, fear, or even admiration.
"Hey, look at Roger. Does he looks too hot this days? I mean, he gets more handsome everyday." A whisper flew.
"Yes... I know what you feel. His eyes get even colder as the days pass."
Then two girls who were talking giggled in delight.
"I know, right. Let's take another look."
When the girls tried to shift their heads for another round and peek at Roger, they all froze after a flinch when they heard a sudden voice that reached their ears just behind them.
"Do you know where Yuno Selvester's room is?" Roger asked the two girls.
The two remained frozen with widened eyes as they couldn't believe that they had just heard Roger's 'angelic cold voice' for the first time.
They still couldn't sink it in. They remained silent and speechless in front of Roger.
With this even being a burden for Roger, he scratched his nape in frustration. He then looked at the girls faces then sighed.
"You don't know? Thank you anyway." Then he turned his back on them.
Midway, Roger stopped when one of the two answered his question.
"Third Floor, 3rd Year Class 3. That's his room."
Roger smiled at them and that almost melted their hearts as Roger's eyes shrank as well. Roger said his gratitude to them, then left them, heading to Yuno's room.
Meanwhile, the two girls were still frozen like ice in the hallway, with their eyes following Roger's back disappearing.
"That was amazing." A breathless words said by one of the girls.
"I know, right?" Her friend replied.
On the other hand, Roger was on his way to Yuno's room. And as usual, people still couldn't get over his presence; they still moved their ways to give him a path.
Even though it was kind of frustrating to him, he just didn't show any interest in it since they'd eventually forget any events prior to this one. And he decided just to let things flow without touching them.
Roger finally reached Yuno's room and with him opening it, everyone became silent when they realized it was him.
"What is he doing here? Is he here to pick a fight with our class? Count me in. I am kind of irritated with that bitch."
Roger sighed as whispers started surfacing again. However, his goal wasn't to tackle those who whispered about him but to look for Yuno and ask an important question.
"Yuno!" Roger called to him as his gaze was drawn to him as he looked around the room.
Yuno instinctively shifted his head to the person who called him and saw Roger raising his hand with unbothered eyes.
Yuno just snickered then sighed after it. He stood up from his seat and walked toward Roger who was standing at the door.
Then, as decided, they both went to the rooftop, leaving a handful of gossip for everyone in the room.
"Yuno and Roger were friends? I guess handsome men tend to attract each other. They're a good match. "
"The fuck you yaoi fangirltalking? Place your disgusting fetish in the right place."
"Duh! You can't just appreciate the beauty of yaoi."
"Shut up, bitch. We don't care."
And as Roger and Yuno arrived at the rooftop, Yuno asked Roger's objective.
"Why did you look for me?"
"I need some help. I want to know how hoodlums become civil servants and become hunters. Can you help me with it?" Roger said this without wasting any curving lines.
Yuno's eyebrow raised at the strange question Roger inquired.
"Why do you want to know it? And hoodlums? It's difficult for them to become a civil servant since they are criminals."
Roger sighed after Yuno's explanation. Seems like there must be a complicated way for this case, however, he wasn't going to give it up since he's near the goal.
"But is there anyway to get their papers clear?"
"Why are you interested knowing it? Did you perhaps know someone?"
"Just answer the question."
Yuno sighed. "You are asking an obvious question. A hoodlum like what you are talking about is impossible to have a civil servant paper. However, they can still become a hunter."
Hearing Yuno's words, he got a little hope lit in his heart. He smiled, overjoyed of the news Yuno gave.
"Really? How? Is it something about doing community service?" Roger said.
"Yeah. They must do some community service. After that, they can apply for a hunter application, but 30 percent of their earnings will be taken as payment for their crimes."
Roger nodded. 'If they have an existing criminal record. But if they don't have, they can still become hunter without being a civil servant.'
"If for example, a person who doesn't want to become a civil servant wants to become a hunter, were they eligible for hunter application?" Roger asked.
"Yes. They can still become a hunter, but their income will be reduced by 20 percent for the tax."
"I see." Roger brifely commented, making Yuno get curious more why he was asking those kind of questions.
"Hey. What's with those questions? Are you interested becoming a hunter? You're an awaken right, you can apply for one and get more pay if you become a civil servant."
Roger just snickered after Yuno's notion.
"I am not interested in working for the country. I only wanted to know something that couldn't be easily filtered out on the internet since someone was asking me about it." Roger simply reasoned.
"Really? If you don't want to work for the country, you can be a private hunter if you want to." Yuno suggested.
"Why are you so interested in me becoming a hunter? It feels like you want to drag me or something."
"On point! I want to recruit you to our guild.. But it seems like you are not interested at the moment so I will just offer you next time."
