13 The calm before the storm (1/2)
The bell to end class for the day had finally sounded. Everyone who began to get out of their seats was groaning and stretching out their limbs thanks to their well-fought battles during the Exams which had ended. Riyku seemed to have been leaning against a fence on the rooftop long before the bells even went off. ”Three months eh?” The male whispered to no one in particular. His crimson eyes fixated upon the students who were leaving the campus. Since the Death Games were now around the corner with the ending of Exam students would go on a Vacation during that time frame. Turning his glance away from the fence he would sigh heavily. ”Still no contact from Coco... I wonder what happened to her.” He muttered softly before speaking internally, 'Menu'. It was then a cybernetic screen appeared upon his personal vision. Since Coco wasn't around he had set the short-cut commands so he could pull up his menus at any time.

In three months he had reached level ninety-two. If he recalled what Coco had told him, it was when he reached level ninety that he would be able to Class Up; however, Coco was nowhere as of now. So the Class Up was an impossible feat presently. Looking at the two rings on his right hand both appeared silver but one held a green color gem and the other a blue color gem. It was on the same hand that the gold bracelet could be seen as well. It wasn't anything too fancy, but it was quite fashionable. ”The Ring of Vitality and The Ring of Mana, as well as the Elven Bracelet...” The male whispered with a soft huff before moving the same hand to pick up a pendant; he looked over the pendant, a lovely black chain with a shadow design for a pendant would dangle. ”Necklace of Shade...” He added with a soft huff and shifted his glance skyward. ”The girls wouldn't stop asking me questions the morning after the incident. Where I got my accessories, who I got them from and how I did what I did. Thankfully everything has settled since then, but...” He would close his eyes as if he were scowling. ”I still need to pay that bitch back for what she did. Ever since then it seems that she has been on the down low. I questioned Rick and company about her whereabouts, and what she was doing but no one knows. I even asked Racheal to look into it, but nothing came up. Damn bitch hasn't even been going to her classes it would seem...” Clicking his tongue inward he would take a moment to digress from his tension and sigh heavily.
Dismissing the status screen from his UI he would tap upon the wristband chip to bring up his cybernetic screen. In which navigated to his personal status that was on the record.

”In the last three months, I've been challenging others as much as possible. Apparently, some rumor was spread that if they defeat me at least once they will get some kind of reward. I don't know who put that kind of bounty out for me, but it has helped me rise in the ranks and even gain back all of the points I spent on getting prepared.” He sighed heavily before the door began to squeak open and four females, as well as a single male, approached him with joyous smiles. ”I knew he would be up here!” Kristen called out. ”Well, Isn't he always up here?” Lira added with a giggle. ”Of course he is, he bought this rooftop after all,” Vex added to which Mina chuckled lightly. ”Something about it being nice and quiet.” She seemed to add to which Riyku sighed heavily. ”It was.” He replied. ”Well, You have yet to kick us out. ”Kristen would tease to which the rest nodded and Riyku shrugged. ”Whatever. So what brings you five up here?” Riyku inquired as he dismissed the menu from his wristband to give them his full attention. ”How did the Exams go?” Skylar asked as he looked up at him. ”Easy,” Riyku replied to which the girls sighed heavily. ”Everything is easy for you, isn't it?” Kristen complained. ”I'll say. Everything from the battles to the tests... This man appears undefeatable.” Vex stated to which Lira chuckled. ”Except for his loss with Mina.” To which Mina blushed lightly. ”That was...” Kristen would move over to Mina and reel her into her arm. ”No need to be bashful. After all, we are all friends here.” She added with a teasing remark. ”Yup.” Skylar nodded to which Mina sighed with a soft moan. ”Alright, I got it.” She was rather embarrassed but it did not seem to bother Riyku in the slightest.
”So... Has anyone found out anything about this stupid reward?” Kristen questioned. ”Nope,” Vex stated with a shake of her head. ”I've thoroughly been on the lookout for anyone acting strange. No one has appeared.” She added. ”Same on my end. Nothing has come up, not even off campus.” Lira would pitch in. ”Mina?” They all looked at her and she shook her head. ”Nothing. I know I usually get the information quite fast, but... Nothing. Sorry, everyone.” She would apologize to which they shook their heads. ”Not your fault. This did come out of nowhere a few days after the incident after all.”
Kristen stated while placing a hand upon her shoulder. From Riyku's perspective, it appeared that the girls had all gotten closer over the past three months. Tugging on his sleeve was Skylar who looked up at him. Still as feminine looking as always even for a boy. ”Hm?” Riyku looked at him.
”I don't mean to dampen the mood, but you still have your duel with Barron as well as the Death Games coming up in less than a week. Are you prepared for everything?” Skylar whispered as Riyku would lend him his ear. ”I am. I've done all I can up to this point.” Riyku stated; the girls looking over at him and Skylar. ”Done what?” Mina asked to which Riyku responded. ”Prepare.”
