Duran saw the red armband of a student council representative around Kou's right arm.

'And why would I need to assert the effort? It's obvious your idea is a risk itself, so not one for the council's rubber stamp. Do I need to remind you the purpose of this school is preparing, as Kita-kun bluntly puts, future salary-men.'

The classroom fell silent of chatter. Duran became conscious of his peers interest in their conversation. Hearing Kou repeat his annotation of the school's students made him lower his head with guilt.

'Hayashi-kun. That is true, but we still can't dismiss an application without consideration. That is if they were to submit one.' Another person entered the conversation.

Duran felt a lump form in his throat when he sighted the newcomer, who also wore a student council armband to his right arm.

The newcomer presented himself similar to Kou, yet his look was more alluring. His hair was short, so it spiked in places, and caused a stylish wisp of fringe against his forehead. His athletic build and fine features; flawless china-white skin, natural plump red lips and dark, doll-like, eyes exuded a cool mysteriousness that sent his heart pounding with the doki-dokis.

'My god! He's gorgeous to be a Calvin Klein model.' Duran blurted in his mind.

He was beginning to think his vision was seriously impaired and his first impression of his classmates was flawed.

'Tsubaki-kun, don't encourage them. They're better off being a garage or basement band somewhere else.' Kou brushed off his colleague's comments.

Abrupt ringing of the school's bell stopped further conversations on the matter. Duran shuffled out of his seat, packed up his bag and started heading out with Fumio and the others to their next class.
