151 Jin or Soul IV or Lawrence (1/2)
Sunday Morning
Tomorrow was going to be the start of The Game event, so they were going to break into Ms. Snow's room tonight. A couple of days ago, Hayato set down a hidden camera in the Teacher's Hall to observe Snow's daily program. Every night, at 12 AM sharp, she would leave her room to go somewhere and she would return at 4 AM: that explains the dark circles under her eyes. Linri guessed that she was probably building her nuclear bomb under the school in secret, or she might just have been experimenting in her own lab since she didn't hide the fact she left her room in the first place. That was a tricky conundrum, but at least they found the time frame they were going to break in and that was what mattered.
He was free for the day. Normally, he would go to the city center and have fun, but, after yesterday's events, he didn't feel like it. Izaya(?), who wasn't even given a real name by Trumpet or Linri, was an unknown. It was alright to use him as a throwaway NPC during the club, but, now that this world turned into reality, he became dangerous.
He was especially wondering from whom he learnt Linri and Luke's identities. Aside from that, where did he get the guts to have them captured? When they beat him yesterday, Linri didn't feel anything special about the guy. He shouldn't be an ability holder, so that means he was working for someone. Unlike the Izaya from Drrrrr!!!!, he was quite dumb. Did he really think that he would get away scot-free for kidnapping them?
Linri frowned. That shouldn't be it. Even your average Joe could tell that it was a dumb idea, so he must have some sort of guarantee that ensured his safety. The question was if it was a person or an item?
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Linri went to open the door. It must have been Riku who forgot his keys or something.
”Morning,” said Kris as he came inside the room along with all the other transmigrators in the school.
”Yeah, come on in! No need to ask for my opinion or anything!” Linri said in a sarcastic way.
”It's not like you had anything better to do, right?” Drake said as he made himself comfortable on Linri's bed.
”We were going to have a gathering and decided it would be best if we held it here,” said Kou in a polite manner.
”What? Couldn't you just RSVP?”
”Would you have joined if we did?” said Kris.
”No!”
”See, all the more reason we gather here,” said Kris while putting his arm around Linri's shoulder before Linri pushed it away.
”What's the deal? Are you guys worried about the event tomorrow?” Linri said as he pulled up a chair to sit.
”Obviously,” said Jaime. Linri looked at her for a second and then looked away. His heart hurt the more he saw her face.
That was when Linri focused on the guy with a sleeveless purple hoodie. His name should be Jin, the only other transmigrator he hadn't met yet. His bangs were black while the rest of his hair was white, which was already a weird hair color for sure, but it was, even more weirdly, actually all-natural. If Linri was not wrong, the white part of his hair should be a result of him overusing his ability in the past.
Jin was also looking at him silently. His gaze was cold and contained a little bit of hostility? That was weird, this should be the first time they met face to face. He couldn't really be called friends with Soul IV, but he didn't remember offending in any way when they RPed in the club. He was an American, so they didn't really RP much together either.
”You guys haven't met yet, right? This is Jin, or Soul IV, or Lawrence. Whatever you want to call him. And Jin, this is Linri, or Kasaix, or Max: again whatever you want to call him” Kris introduced the two to each other.
As a sign of courtesy Linri reached out his hand, yet Jin looked at his hand then turned his hand. Linri's mouth twitched. Look here you little shit! He was trying to be civil alright!? Who the fuck do you think you are to-
