After they finished talking they eventually comes back to their classroom.
A few minutes later, Takahiro enters the room to teach the last subject.
Good afternoon, no one cuts class so far, right? He asks, then he scans the room to know wether the students are still complete or not. Looks like you are still complete, that's good.
The class burst into laughter, except for Arata, who secretly observed Takahiro's every move. Takahiro set his gaze upon Arata, initiating an intense eye contact with him.
Eventually, he broke the eye contact and started teaching. But while he was in the process of teaching, he still secretly observed the two new students. Arata also did the same to him.
Arata looks at his watch It's time, i am sure the video already got uploaded in social media. He whispered to cautiously to Shinji who sits near him Respond cautiously, Takahiro is definitely watching us. He warns Shinji calmly.
Yes, it 100% got uploaded just now. Shinji shows his phone to Arata cautiously
Great, we just need to do one last thing and our crusade will officially begin. Arata says calmly, trying to prevent himself from grinning.
Mr. Arata...Takahiro calls him out, gesturing him to come to the board Kindly answer this problem.
I will gladly answer this for you, Sir. Arata stands calmly and proceeds to go to the board.
"I knew it! This man might be a threat to our plan. I'm not sure if he heard anything or caught us whispering to each other, but I have a feeling this man will be a problem." Arata tried to compose himself because his heartbeat was getting intense, while he tries to answer the given equation on the board.
After a little while, Arata managed to solve the problem.
How was it, Sir? Arata asks feigning curiosity because he knows his answer is right.
Takahiro analyzes his answer, while his classmates especially Shinji started clapping their hands.
Your answer is correct Takahiro claps his hands sarcastically YOU manage to solve this problem even my fellow math teachers struggles with...You are quite smart, Too smart that it's DANGEROUS. Takahiro said with sarcastic tone, still wearing his stern look.
Arata keeps himself composed yet he is literally bothered by his teacher's remark.
Well, thank you for your kind words. Arata bows his head politely You too, Sir...Too observant like a DETECTIVE. Arata said sarcastically.
Takahiro's eyes widen and he just chuckles.
Suddenly, the bell rung indicating that the school hours have ended.
School hours have ended, Go straight to your damn homes! Before exiting the room, Takahiro shoots one last glance at Arata then left.
Let's go, Shinji Arata grabs his bag and left the room.
There he is again...Shinji lets out a sigh before grabbing his bag, He then turns to his classmates See y'all tomorrow! He rushes to leave and catch up with Arata.
Too slow. Arata flicks Shinji's head.
What was that for, Bastard?!! Shinji says feigning his annoyance.
That man, Takahiro, Be cautious around that old man...I don't know why but I feel like he is going to be a threat to us. Arata whispered to him coldly.
Is that because he almost manage to make you wet your pants earlier? Shinji chuckles.
Shut up, You friggin dumbass...Arata clears his throat Anyways, just focus to the plan and be extremely careful around that Takahiro.
Takahiro in the faculty rooms sneezes.
Hmmm, Is someone gossiping about me? He mutters to himself while touching his nose.
Are you okay, Mr. Takahiro? You seem like you're in a good mood... that's new! His co-teacher, Ms. Akira said enthusiastically.
Well, kind of He scratches his head One of the new students just managed to pull off something that...amazed me, but, those two something is off about them. Takahiro said coldly, Ms. Akira is kinda taken aback by his sudden change of demeanor.
Uhm...a-anyways! She started fidgeting out of nervousness You are good at codes, ciphers, puzzles, and riddles, aren't you? She asks, pulling out her phone and started scrolling.
It's justa hobby of mine, from good old days. He suddenly has some flashbacks, Takahiro then flinched a bit because of it.
Well! Take a look at this video...Her tone suddenly shifts into a wary one.
Takahiro plays the video and they watch it together.
Two masks individual emerges out of nowhere in the video.
Greetings, people of Japan or maybe even people of the World! The black masked guy said while the white masked guy chuckles at his side.
Where did that bomb got off again this morning? The white masked guy asks playfully.
Well, didn't that occured in a restaurant...The black masked guy subtly changes his tone from playful to a bit serious but masked it with a tone of curiosity In Laplace Restaurant, near the CITY Hall and the Laplace Hotel.
Woah! What a shame! The food there are so f***king yummy! The white masked man said playfully, feigning a tantrum.
BOTH OF THE MASKED GUYS LAUGHED.
In any case, We planned a bomb somewhere god-knows-where! HUHU! The white masked man said playfully while feigning sadness. And, we want to play hide and seek too! He adds with a deranged voice.
The time is ticking. The black masked man said calmly.
I am harmony! ends with Y! The white masked man said sarcastically.
Is this even necessary? Well, I am harmoni, end with i. The black masked man said nonchalantly.
PEACE OUT!
WITH THAT THE VIDEO ENDED.
This is not a funny prank Takahiro facepalms God, kids now a days.
"But I'd admit, something feels off. My instincts are telling me that something might really happen today...I don't know the time yet because they did not mentioned it." Takahiro's mind is raising trying to keep himself composed. "But the location..."
The location...if you pay attention to it, their tone of voice stayed the same almost all the time which is both playful and sarcastic. but, there's one time that their tone changes. He turns at Ms. Akira who seemed to finally got it.
I see! That time! I didn't notice because i am too invested int he video and thinking about the answer beforehand! She said enthusiastically.
That is the point, these are pretty easy puzzles...but by using two different tones to deliver it,they managed to make it look hard and manage to make it seem like it was just a small talk. He scartches his chin, thinking deeply They are too young...but, pretty smart as well. Takahiro smirks They are psychologically manipulating the audience, misleading them and trying to make it seem like a normal conversation but in reality, they are already giving off the answers!
So, you are saying...Ms. Akira's tone shifts from enthusiastic to a wary one.
Let it be, I am pretty sure it's just a prank. He shakes his hands.
"But something really feels off" I really hope...He muttered to himself.
The bus just areived at the bus stop.
Arata and Shinji immediately enters the bus for a ride.
Did you bring them? Arata asks stretching his arms into thin air.
Yes, still 15 pieces. Shinji answered, His tone low but playful.
Good, Are you ready? Arata adjusts his glasses.
Ready as I'll ever be! He smirks.
Great, because we are just one step closer to our goal, and... There's no turning back. A cold smirk formed in Arata's face.
