"Who are you, leader of the council?"
Even though you could already see the mansion they needed to drive for minutes to arrive at the main gate, the driver again opened the door for Julian. "From now this bodyguard is going to bring you to the masters room." The driver bowed down and went again into the limousine.
"Hello, it's going to take a little time until we arrive at the master's room, if you need anything please tell me!"
"T-thanks…"
Even walking to the mansion was already long, but the walk up would be a minimum of six or seven floors, but they had an elevator.
"The master told me to not go in; I only need to make sure that you have no dangerous items with you."
And so fast he was in the room of the master, it was different than the rest of the mansion, it had something of a vintage vibe but as he stepped in he saw curtains, behind them someone sat, the chair was also turned away from the curtains that it was absolutely impossible to see who it was.
"Sigh…so, are you the leader of the student's council? I thought I just get expelled and not that you make such a big show?!"
Again, the deep voice changer spoke. "Why don't we talk a bit, you see the chair? Take a seat please, I want to talk about your answers…"
As he took a seat the mysterious voice began to ask, "Why do you think that the council's motivation is something with entertainment?"
Julian explained that just too many things don't fit and make sense if it is something like power or money, everything felt as if it has almost a bored or playful undertone.
"So, so, I am sorry, but the answer isn't true but neither wrong…you know, the motivation was never money or power, but it was not pure entertainment, it was a different goal, but I come later to that…Hehe…"
"But…"
"No, no…I still want to ask a bit…"
"Your second answer that there is a leader is absolutely true, but who was wrong…you know, none of the other members ever wanted to do those things, they didn't even knew that the others got blackmailed and forced too, they all thought that they are alone with that, Hehe…you know, Uesugi Wakana, was not only the one you said is the leader, I even needed to make need me, she absolutely depends on me, this was the only way to make her do what I wanted…"
"But I still want to ask you, who would've been your second pick about the leader?"
"To be honest, Yuuma Soma!"
The leader began to laugh loudly. "Really? Yuuma? Everyone things he is the son of a yakuza boss…Haha, once you observed him in his cabin you saw that he did nothing bad…Hehehe…he was the easiest to threat, he was the most scared one of all…Hahahaha…"
"I am going to say it direct, what do you want, and how did you even make me the new president?"
"Good question…you probably saw that other students seemed happy, you being the new president, it was…before I say you that, I want you to explain more the motivation, it was a personal motivation but also another, the personal one is hard to explain but one motivation was…finding a new president…even though I damaged the school much I still wanted a good new president, and to be honest such an letter as you received, also five other students received…Hehe, firstly I wanted to make Yuuma Nao the new president but then… I saw your letter…"
Julian was even more confused now "But why, you said multiple times that answers were wrong? And even if not, how did you managed to make me so popular so fast?"
"Hehe…when I read your letter, I not only blackmailed the principal to make you they knew president…I should I explain this…over the year multiple good things happened, the one who did it would gain immense popularity and fame, I did all of this to make the winner in the last school day as popular as possible…Hehe, so everything that happened this school year of good things…I made rumors that you were the hidden hero, I think this explains the most…"
"Heh, you are really that powerful…but tell me, why? Even though my answers were wrong, why?"
"I think it's time to let the cat out of the bag, no one got the first two answers better then you, not just that, you also got the last question right…"
…
…
"Seems as you are silent now…to be honest I expected none to get it correct but…you…you getting it correct; I just needed to get you here to talk…Hehe…"
"What…What do you mean…you also have it?"
"Correct, especially because you also said multiple times that the ability gets those who want incredible popularity…this made me feel…like someone who could understand me…"
The leader laid the voice changer away, stood up and came out of the curtains.
"So, you were it all the time…"
A short figure came out of the curtains, glasses, think…Mikazuki Ruri…
"I already needed to think of you when you said that you made Wakana depending on you…"
"Really? But only because we are "Best Friends" Doesn't mean that?"
„You're right, it doesn't, you said when I observed the council the first time, right? I can remember it pretty well, once Wakana didn't feel well because all the sexualizing, she received…probably from you…you two went in the toilet and she cried there; talking about that she can't take this all anymore."
Ruri´s eyes went surprised and interested in once "how do you know this would interest me?"
"I put there a bugging device before you went in…don't tell me you didn´t knew it? Hehe…"
"Heh…I really didn't…"
"But let's get to your third question, you really have the ability also too? And could it be that you want to become the most popular in school?"
"Tsk…now you got me, what makes you think I want it?"
"That's obvious, you wrote often in your text that with that ability it's easy to see through people and…become popular with it…"
"Makes sense…what would interest me is…you also have an explanation why you have it and through what?"
"I already wanted to ask you that, you probably found out that I got bullied through my whole school, I wanted you to find out to be honest…I don't know exactly why, if we both are just insane or so but…it all started when I came to this school, I don't know why but…I got suddenly this wish to become popular, but I didn't felt like I can…so…I started to make other in the council…"
"What do you mean? Only because you felt that you aren´t capable of becoming popular you did all this?"
She nodded.
"Hmph…this is not an excuse…but…I can't do anything now anyways, I also got it a few days after I got to this school, and I also want to become the most popular in school, I only have on theory…you probably know the difference between how many information's the conscious self can perceive per seconds and how many more the unconscious can?"
"I already thought about this too, but it all doesn't make sense at all…"
Bzzt, Bzzt.
Kaito messaged when he is finally done?
"Seems as I need to go soon…I am happy that I finally know who the leader was, that I am not getting expelled and…I am happy that also someone else has this…"
"I am too, I know you probably don't like me based on what I did but…do you want stay in contact with me, to maybe find out what everything about our ability means, or if someone has problems because of it…"
Sigh…
Julian thought about for a few moments, he thought about everything she did…but he also thought that she might be not such a bad human as he thinks she is and that she is the only one that could understand him.
"Sigh…okay, but you need to do a favor for me, even though you already made me the new president…I don't know what you are going to do now, if you go to university, work in a company from your family or just chill a bit…but please never do again what you did in this high school!"
"Sure, but I mean I already own all my family inheritance, they all died before this school year in a private jet accident…but I promise…I am going to do better in the future…"
"I am sorry…and…thanks again…if you need anything call me or write message…"
They looked at each other for a few moments until he walked out. "She was never evil…she was purely broken and lonely, alone…sad, if you ask me, so rich but has no one… probably not even Wakana…"
"But wait a second…I was over fluted with information´s…I still want to become popular…" He thought of being driven home, a few blocks before his house, he says. "Please let me out here!"
As he was out, he went in the forest, looked around…he was fully alone…as he began to laugh like he was crazy…
"NOW EVERYTHING IN MY IS GONE! WHAT WOULD YOU SAY NOW TO IT RAN??? NOTHING STANDS AND WILL EVER STAND AGAIN IN MY WAY! I AM THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL AND RURI EVEN BUSTED MY POPULARITY!!!"
