134 Such beautiful weather today (1/2)

*RING*

The classes for the day had ended and Linri was getting ready to leave.

\”Are you planning on doing anything today?\” Brie asked. He was a little surprised. Considering how he fell out with Jaime Linri thought she would also be angry with him.

\”Not really. What's up?\”

\”Well, I needed your help with something. It's sorta private\” said Brie while fidgeting. Linri raised his brows. He knew her background from start to finish so there shouldn't be anything private for her. I mean there shouldn't be anything private that required his help. And if it was girl troubles she could have just gone to Jaime.

\”Hey\” a guy with black hair and red eyes greeted Linri. It was the guy he met during the ceremony.

\”Hey, uhhhh what was your name again?\” He honestly couldn't remember his name. He was a mob according to the game standards so who cares?

\”It's Arge. I actually came here to pay you my debt\” said Arge. He didn't seem one bit offended. That was a first. Usually, people would look for ways to get angry at him while he just shook it off like it was nothing.

\”What debt? I don't remember anything of the sort\” Linri answered honestly.

\”No need to act all humble. I know that you think I can't pay for your services but here is 10 million Yoki. The password is six zeroes. It might be a meagre amount for you but I don't like owing people anything\” said Arge before handing him the card. Wait, did this guy seriously pay him for what he said in the opening ceremony? He was just joking around. Also, who would take out 10 million Yoki and call it a meagre amount!? Roughly put it was 100 thousand dollars!

\”Fine, If you insist\” said Linri while quickly pocketing the card. It was true that he was out of pocket change so he wouldn't mind the pie that fell out of the sky.

\”So it's alright that I come to you if I want to learn anything in the future?\” said Arge. So this was the reason. He actually wanted to make a connection with him since he knew about Zero's attack. He must have thought Linri was actually a big shot in the industry.

\”Of course it is. Actually, I can even give you heads up whenever something happens in the school. If you don't mind paying again that is\” said Linri.

\”It's a deal then\” Arge shook hands with Linri before leaving with a satisfied smile.

\”What was that?\” Brie asked curiously. She didn't understand anything. The guy just came in handed Linri money and asked for his services.

\”Just making friends,\” said Linri while putting on his backpack.

\”Does he want to hire you? Is he a terrorist too?\” Brie whispered into Linri's ear with much hardship. I guess being short was not really working for her.

\”What do you mean?\” Linri frowned.

\”I mean aren't you a terrorist? Does he need help to break into a government facility?\” Linri wanted to smack her in the head but there were too many people around. He didn't want to be charged with child abuse so he held back.

\”Do you really think I am a terrorist?\” Brie nodded. Veins started to pop out of Linri's forehead. He really wanted to hit her.

\”First of all in case, you forgot I am an info broker. I-N-F-O-B-R-O-K-E-R. Don't you forget that. Every time you call me a terrorist I will call you a pipsqueak. Get that?\”

Brie strangely didn't get angry at being called short but nodded seriously. Now, that was weird.

\”So what did you want to talk about?\” Linri asked.

\”Not here. Follow me\” said Brie while dragging Linri. She had brought him to an unused part of the school. Actually, in the club, this place was named The Abandoned Classroom. The whole place looked creepy even though it was still day outside. The place just had a ghostly air around it.

\”So?\” Linri said while sitting on top of one of the old dust desks.

\”Well, you see, there is this person I want to talk to but he seems to be ignoring me. And I noticed you seemed to be friends with him so, you know, can you introduce me to him?\”

\”Is that all?\” Linri asked sarcastically. So this was it. Still, why did it feel like she could ask someone else instead of him?

\”Yes\”

\”Are you sure?\”

\”Umu\”

\”Does that person happen to be blind?\”

\”How did you know!?\” Brie's mouth made an O shape.

\”Sorry, can't help\” Brie latched on to his arm while making puppy eyes.

\”Whyyyyyyyy?\” She looked like a child begging her parents to buy candy.

\”Ugh, it is hard to explain. How should I say? I think he is too old for you\” Brie stopped the cute puppy eyes and looked angry. She freed his arm and pointed at him.

\”It's because I look like a kid isn't it? I hate you! And I thought you were a friend!\” Brie was about to storm off when Linri stopped.
