Why Can't You Get Out of My Head, Ayanokoji?!

10. Proposal

Shoko PoV

I was pissed off.

And so, I hurriedly returned to the dorms.

I don't get it!

Just because I scored 50 across the board,  does not mean I'm a genius!

C-o-i-n-c-i-d-e-n-c-e. COINCIDENCE!

They'll suspect you now, whether you like it or not.

How you deal with it, is up to you.

What about you?

You said you also scored 50's.

Did they also mistake you for a genius?

....About that, I'd like to talk about it once you enter your dream state.

I'll be waiting.

Huh?

Ayanokoji left it at that and that got me confused.

But I sighed and just let it be for now.

I entered my room and quickly changed.

I flopped on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

" Class A.....this is bullshit. " I muttered.

If I don't reach Class A.

I'll go back to that shitty life.

I have to do whatever it takes....and make sure I graduate from Class A.

I closed my eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

-------------------------------------

Not this again....

I'm starting to hear voices....

" So this is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?" A voice asked.

" Yes." Another voice responded.

" Haha! He's fantastic. Look at him, born to be a winner.  You are a very lucky man, Professor. Your White Room project was worth investing in, after all." The voice said.

White Room....

What is that?

And why are they talking about Ayanokoji?

The other voice chuckles, " Yes. I'm quite proud to possess a fine tool. Kiyotaka will definitely be the future of this generation and soon, he will lead the other generations." He said.

Tool? Why is this voice calling Ayanokoji by his first name.

Are they close? If so, then why did he refer to him as a tool?

" I'll be looking forward to that, Professor."

( Setting: Shoko's mind. )

I woke up.

That.....those voices....
